Five kinds of medicine in another world
Chapter 197: Muzhen Demon Temple, Yangtian Palace Meeting
After everyone reached a consensus, the construction of Zhenmo County was booming and changing with each passing day. In just less than three months, Zhenmo County had once again transformed into an indestructible city.
This city not only has tall and solid walls and gates, but also various defense facilities, such as arrow towers and catapults, which can effectively resist attacks from foreign enemies. At the same time, wide streets and prosperous commercial areas were built in the city, attracting a large number of merchants to trade, which made the economy of Zhenmo County develop rapidly.
In addition, Zhenmo County has also established a complete military system, recruited a large number of soldiers, and trained them strictly. These soldiers are well-equipped and have strong combat effectiveness, and are able to protect the safety of Zhenmo County.
As time went by, the Demon-Suppressing County gradually became more and more powerful and became a remarkable existence. The name of Luo Yong, the governor of the Demon-Suppressing County, also continued to spread in the martial arts world and the court.
In the same month, Bodhi Temple announced that it would be moved to Zhenmo County and officially renamed Zhenmo Temple. This new temple covers a vast area and is of a grand scale that is breathtaking.
According to statistics, it actually occupies about one-tenth of the land of Zhenmo County! It includes 72 magnificent halls, 108 small and exquisite halls, 360 quiet and peaceful Zen temples, and 5,000 scattered monks' rooms. The entire temple covers an area of an astonishing 1,000 acres, and its grandeur is so impressive that people can't help but be shocked.
……
Yang'an City, Yangtian Palace.
The sun shone through the windows into the hall, illuminating the golden splendor. At this moment, Emperor Yangtian was neither happy nor angry. His face was calm, his eyes were deep as the abyss, and he sat upright on the dragon throne, holding the armrests with both hands, tapping his fingers lightly, as if playing a silent song. He quietly looked at the ministers discussing below, without saying a word, but he exuded an invisible pressure that made everyone dare not look directly at him.
Under the hall, the ministers were talking to each other, and the sound of discussion was one after another. They were anxious and worried, and looked at the emperor from time to time, as if waiting for his instructions. And today they only had one topic to discuss - the Demon Temple.
The scale of the Demon-Suppressing Temple is too large, the architecture is magnificent, and its area is far larger than that of the imperial palace.
However, the existence of this temple has caused some controversy. Some people think that it is too large and consumes a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources; others think that it is a provocation to the royal dignity and should be reduced.
At this time, an old man in a black robe walked out from the crowd. He was the imperial teacher Qiu Sheng. He was tall, kind-looking, with a wisp of white beard, and looked like an immortal. He walked up to the emperor, saluted respectfully, and said in a loud voice:
"Your Majesty, the Demon-Suppressing Temple is too large and inappropriate. Please order its reduction."
Qiu Sheng's voice was clear and firm, echoing throughout the hall. His words made everyone fall into silence, and no one dared to refute easily. After all, the position of the imperial teacher in the court was very important, and his opinions often played a decisive role.
"I second the proposal."
"I second the proposal..."
Many ministers seconded the proposal.
After all, a temple covering an area of thousands of acres is simply appalling. From ancient times to the present, no force has ever been heard of having a garrison covering an area of thousands of acres. Even the now famous Hengdao Escort Agency, after three expansions, has a headquarters of less than tens of acres of land. This temple covering thousands of acres is simply a provocation to the royal dignity.
"They think that Zhenmo County is their own territory. Hengdao Escort Agency relies on its five saints, the Zhao family relies on one saint and infinite wealth, and what does Bodhi Temple rely on? Just relying on their few seventh-level saints? They don't take the emperor seriously at all."
Qiu Sheng spoke again.
If it were anyone else, they would certainly not dare to speak like this, but Qiu Sheng understood that now was the best time for him to speak, because he saw the unwillingness in Emperor Yang Tian's eyes. As Emperor Yang Tian's confidant, he had to speak out and say these words at this time.
Emperor Yangtian was filled with anger and unwillingness at this time, and his face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out.
"Your Majesty, we can't let these people be so arrogant!" Qiu Sheng continued, "Your Majesty should immediately send someone to investigate this matter and find out who this Bodhi Temple is and how dare they challenge the majesty of our dynasty!"
Emperor Yangtian nodded, indicating his agreement with Qiu Sheng's statement, but did not make a decision immediately. He knew that this matter involved many complicated factors, and if it was not handled properly, it might cause greater trouble. Therefore, he needed to carefully consider how to deal with it.
However, Qiu Sheng did not give up. He knew what Emperor Yang Tian was thinking, so he struck while the iron was hot and said, "Your Majesty, the situation is turbulent now, and all parties are ready to make a move. If we do not take decisive action, I am afraid that those with ulterior motives will have an opportunity to take advantage of it. Therefore, we must take action to maintain the stability and tranquility of the country."
After hearing what Qiu Sheng said, Emperor Yangtian's eyes flashed with determination. He took a deep breath and said slowly, "Okay, you are right. After all, Zhenmo County is the territory of the dynasty. The Zhenmo Temple is too much."
Emperor Yangtian stood up and looked at the ministers in front of him. He was thinking about what to say when General Lu Chao stood up and said loudly:
"Your Majesty, I think this matter needs further consideration."
After hearing this, Emperor Yangtian stopped, his eyes became sharp, and he looked coldly at the person who spoke - Lu Chao. There was obvious dissatisfaction on his face, as if he was very unhappy with Lu Chao's opinion.
Emperor Yangtian slowly turned around and sat back on the solemn dragon throne. His movements seemed a little heavy and helpless, as if he was full of expectations for the next conversation, but also a little worried.
Then he said softly, "Go ahead."
There was a hint of majesty and unquestionable in his voice. These three words were like an order, making people feel the emperor's authority and decisiveness.
Emperor Yangtian fixed his eyes on Lu Chao, waiting for his answer. The entire court fell into silence, and everyone turned their eyes to Lu Chao, wanting to hear his opinion.
Lu Chao took a deep breath, sorted out his thoughts, and began to state his views to the emperor. His tone was firm and confident, but also respectful and loyal.
"I believe that the source of this matter lies with Luo Yong of Bodhi Temple. The emperor ordered Luo Yong to be appointed as the governor of Zhenmo County, but Luo Yong ignored these trivial matters, causing all matters of Zhenmo County to fall on Bodhi Temple, which is why Bodhi Temple has expanded to such an extent."
