Chapter 553 King Yong Ascends the Throne, and Dai Temple Changes From Large to Small

Yongwang Pei Kang didn't understand why he became the new emperor. Theoretically, he didn't have many advantages at all.

As a result, he ascended the throne in such a confused way.

In fact, he has never dealt with government affairs on weekdays. He was able to supervise the country before, and it was only because he saw that there was not much threat from him that he was arranged by Pei Jiang.

It's a bit scary to ask him to take over such a big country now.

Pei Kang had no ambitions and had never thought about fighting for the throne, because he knew what his situation was.

However, things were changing, and he was forced to become the emperor.

Fortunately, the people left behind by Pei Jiang were indeed capable. He delegated power directly without worrying about being sidelined, because he had no power in the first place.

With such a big card like him, the ministers under his command helped him deal with the threats posed by his brothers and nephews. He did not have to worry about waking up one morning and receiving news that a brother or nephew was coming to Qingjun's side. The next step is to transform into a humanoid stamping machine every day.

Anyway, just keep stamping it.

But now, he had to face a very serious problem.

That is the imperial mausoleum of his father Pei Jiang.

Because Pei Jiang thought he could live forever before, he didn't build an imperial mausoleum for himself in advance, so now he can't bury it even if he wants to, so he can only deal with it temporarily.

What's more important is that this method of death cannot be revealed at all.

The people who knew about it have been almost silenced, and he did it with ruthlessness. No matter how brainless he is, he still knows the impact of this matter.

Whether Taizu Xuan was struck to death by lightning, or he was struck to death by lightning for breaking his promise in Dai Temple, if word spread, it would definitely cause an uproar in the world, and put Da Xuan's legitimacy into question.

After all, Taizu Xuan also started the rebellion in the name of the Holy Emperor and Taizu Heng's instructions, so there can't be any stain on it.

"Your Majesty, the late emperor should not remain in mourning for too long." A minister said.

"I know, dear friends, do you have any good ideas?" Pei Kang asked. Fortunately, when it was sent back, Pei Jiang's body was already rotting and no one went to check it, so he didn't know how he died. Anyway, he was said to have died. , but there was no mention of the reason for his death, and no one continued to ask.

"Why don't we bury the body first and build the imperial mausoleum together at that time." The Ministry of Rites gave a solution. It is not a good thing to leave the body outside. It is better to bury it and follow the construction at the same time. Otherwise, if it continues like this, it will die. Empty.

With the Ministry of Rites taking the lead, the court soon became lively. When Pei Kang saw this scene, his head was pounding. If this matter had not been dealt with, he would not have even planned to go to the morning court.

I get up early every day and still get annoyed.

But this time he didn't say anything to stop it, just to see what the ministers could do.

In the end, they argued for nearly an hour and finally reached a consensus, which was to follow the methods of the Ministry of Rites.

After Pei Kang agreed, he directly said: "All ministers will abide by the law and etiquette, and the court will be dismissed."

This means that you can handle the rest on your own. Whether it is the imperial mausoleum or other official matters, he is not prepared to continue to interfere.

Of course, it also leaves room for them to abide by etiquette, which means obeying the rules and not causing trouble, otherwise he might cause trouble.

As soon as these words came out, many ministers in the court looked at each other, and finally had no choice but to disperse and leave. However, this incident also caused quite a storm.

At least the struggle for power is about to begin. If the emperor is no longer in charge, they will have to fight for the rest.

Wang Linchi was quite speechless when he saw this scene. This was indeed a mess, but it was okay, the situation was stable.

These ministers will definitely fight openly and secretly in the future, maintaining the balance in disguise, but they may waste national power and further reduce Daxuan's national status.

Guozuo is not an illusory thing, it is just the embodiment of the overall national power.

Pei Kang returned to the harem and immediately lay down to catch up on his sleep. After getting up so early and tossing about all morning, he didn't even think about eating. He just lay down to sleep and made up his mind not to go to court tomorrow morning. Anyway, there are so many things down there. As long as there are human cadres and officials, he might still be a hindrance.

I only squinted for less than half a quarter of an hour, but I was woken up again.

"Your Majesty, there is a document handed over by the chief minister." The eunuch on the side carefully handed it over. He could also see Pei Kang's unhappy face because he was disturbed from his sleep.

Although Pei Kang was unhappy, he was not a cruel person. He would not drag the eunuch out to behead or punish him for such a trivial matter.

Only when it's urgent will you really bother him. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, it's impossible to come to him.

When I picked up the book and took a look, it looked weird.

This involves a past incident. It is said that the late emperor had an agreement with King Zhu Wangxueshu of Dai Miao Temple to protect the ancestral court of Dai Miao Temple in Taishan and to evaluate Miao Zhu and other personnel for it.

Just because the test is too difficult, no one can pass it so far, so the royal family can only be appointed to help take over.

However, during the period when the prince was supervising the country, no one went there at all, which caused the Dai Temple to be directly abandoned. Now we are asking for instructions whether to arrange for people to repair the ancestral courtyard of Dai Temple in Taishan and arrange for people to move in to show the emperor's great grace. .

This incident made Pei Kang sweatdrop on his forehead.

He suspected that his father's death was probably caused by his brother forgetting to do something.

At present, this is the only reason why the late emperor broke his promise.

So the root cause should be in this Dai Temple.

Pei Kang didn't want to do this at all, so he could only ask: "Does the Chief Assistant have any suggestions?"

"There is a saying that although the Dai temple has an appointment, it is too big and the virtue is not suitable. After it is demolished, another small temple can be built to make incense offerings." The eunuch said quickly.

It means that this temple is too big and expensive to maintain. It is better to demolish it and replace it with a smaller one, which will be able to match it. After all, no one has ever been to Taishan Mountain.

As for Feng Chan? I went there during the founding of the People's Republic of China, so the next time I go there, someone else will be founding the People's Republic of China. What does it have to do with their Daxuan?

Therefore, the best way is to stay in the temple and not move in.

Taishan has been given a series of names, but it still cannot hide that it is a deep mountain and wild forest, where there are countless poisonous beasts. That is to say, Pei Jiang gained some popularity when he passed there, and he recovered after the people left.

Development is thankless and the help is limited, so it is better to just do it once and for all.

Pei Kang agreed to the method, but whether it would be a little bad. Although the person who established the trust was his father and not him, who knows if there would be any problems.

"The first assistant also said that if this method is followed, Daxuan can save hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in the future." The eunuch said again.

"Why so many???" Pei Kang also looked surprised. This number was indeed too outrageous. According to his intention, it was only ten thousand taels at most.

"Your Majesty, the Dai Temple originated from the founding of the previous dynasty, and it is located deep in the mountains. It is subject to wind, sun, rain, and insects and beasts. It needs to be repaired every year." The eunuch reminded.

"Forget it, let's just follow what the chief assistant said." Pei Kang finally admitted it. Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver were a large expenditure for Daxuan. Although it was not a one-time expense, it was for an ancient temple from the previous dynasty. , there is no need to spend so much money, let alone two big expenses now.

One is to build an imperial tomb for his father, and the other is to build an imperial tomb for himself.

That's right, the imperial tombs were all built in advance.

In addition, there are a series of matters such as repairing the palace. In short, there is a lack of money.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The eunuch said, then went to get the seal and seal clay and asked Pei Kang to stamp it.

The process went smoothly, at least when the people under him raised problems, they would also provide solutions, instead of just raising problems and letting others solve them.

When Wang Linchi saw this, he didn't have much to say. He didn't really care about the situation of Dai Temple, and this solution was actually not bad. Replacing the big temple with a small one would prevent the big tree from attracting wind.

At that time, he can continue to build a temple for himself. After the temple is built, it will probably be forgotten due to time. It just so happens that he is alone in Taishan, and he can take care of the Taishan Seal while studying the dismantled Nine Jueshen Palace.

'It's a pity, considering how beautiful Dai Temple was back then, it is now in such a state of decline. ’ Wang Linchi is also a little regretful about this. Today, the only Dai temple left on Taishan Mountain is the Dai temple in Quanshou City. It collapsed long ago because no one lived in it, and now only ruins remain.

It has been more than thirty years since Wang Linchi left. How could the Dai Temple in Quanshou City be able to sustain it for such a long time?

‘Save some memory to help maintain it, so as not to be played to death and cause Daxuan to collapse. ’ Wang Linchi left some manpower to prevent accidents, lest the Yong Wang died as soon as he took office.
