Chapter 562

"Some crises appear dangerous, but they are also opportunities. So what if we let him toss and turn?"

These words were somewhat profound, and the women could not understand them for a moment.

At this time, Yu Huatian entered the great hall.

"Your Majesty, this servant has uncovered some information. Bianji is in collusion with Zhangsun Wuji; the previous locust plague and the incitement of a million refugees to enter Great Qin were all part of their conspiracy." Hearing this news, Qin Mu was not surprised.

Since both were targeting Great Qin, it was only logical that the two of them had formed an alliance.

"Hmm. Do not spend energy investigating Bianji; there is a major matter to handle right now."

Yu Huatian bowed in salute.

"Please, Your Majesty, give your instructions!"

Qin Mu knew that once this order was given, it would be another bloody storm.

In troubled times, use heavy codes!

The Central Plains and the northern borders had only just been recovered by Great Qin. At this time, one must use some thunderous means so that future governance would be smoother. "Spread the news of the destruction of Jin Shan Temple to the whole world. At the same time, issue an edict to all prefectures and counties that temples are no longer allowed to hold temple property, and land must be returned to the people." "This servant accepts the decree!"

Yu Huatian turned and left.

Through the channels of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, this news would be known to the whole world in just a few days.

With the land of the world's temples stripped away, most monks would have no way to survive.

With the Great Qin imperial court's attitude as it was, the common people would naturally no longer donate incense money to the temples as they had in the past.

This truly forced them into a dead end.

Only the truly high-ranking monks who did not seek wealth could barely survive tenaciously on meager alms.

"Brother-in-law."

Changle blinked her large, dark, glistening eyes as she looked at Qin Mu.

"That Bianji is so bad, why stop investigating him?"

This was also the thought of the other women.

Releasing a tiger back to the mountains—wouldn't that become a future threat?

Qin Mu touched the small hair buns on Changle's head.

This child was always so cute.

He was in a good mood and began to joke with Changle.

"Changle, sometimes, releasing a tiger back to the mountains is actually a strategy, as long as you can master the trick of catching the tiger... Moreover, I feel that I am still relatively merciful; there is no need to mobilize the masses for one person."

Qin Mu's words left the group of women speechless.

Merciful?

Just a moment ago, he had issued an order that ignited a grand, earth-shaking anti-Buddhism movement.

Collecting the land of the temples would certainly not be a harmonious affair.

Who knows how many monks would die under the butcher's knife?

If this counted as merciful, what kind of person in the world would not be merciful?

Wu Meiniang did not care how many monks died.

She only cared about what was in Qin Mu's mind and what it was for.

Having known him for so long, she knew deeply that every move Qin Mu made had a profound meaning.

Not investigating Bianji must also have a profound meaning!

"Husband, have you already guessed Bianji's next move? Do you want to use him to dig out all the enemies hiding in the shadows at once?" She was worthy of being a future empress.

The things she thought about were indeed more than others.

Qin Mu nodded approvingly.

"Meiniang, you have the potential to be a strategist. You are right.

Those aristocratic disciples mostly harbor hostility toward Great Qin. However, they are hidden, so they are not easy to catch.

It is just right to let Bianji contact and incite these monsters hiding in the shadows. Let them jump out, and then I can wipe them all out in one net!"

So that was it!

Cast a long line to catch a big fish!

This fishing line had been cast all the way to the territory of the Tang Dynasty's Jiangnan.

Bianji could be considered a man of strategy; the underhanded tricks he used would make people's hearts jump and were hard to guard against.

But in front of Qin Mu, he had become a fish in a pond. No matter how hard he struggled, he could never escape this pond.

He was being manipulated firmly!

In fact, there were some things Qin Mu still had not said.

Releasing Bianji had another layer of profound meaning.

It was just that this layer of meaning was buried too deep for anyone to see.

When all was said and done, Bianji was still a monk.

Once the anti-Buddhism movement rose, he would face the predicament of having nowhere to stay.

Fleeing back to the Tang Dynasty at this time was not the best choice.

With the affair with Princess Gaoyang exposed, it was very likely that Li Er and Du Ruhui would both want to kill him.

His best destination could only be south of Tibet.

That ancient land where Buddhism flourished.

Inciting the Harsha Empire and finding an opportunity to conquer it was Qin Mu's true goal.

The Ganges River basin was warm and rainy, a natural granary.

He had been craving this place for a long time! ===== CHAPTER 564 =====

I have been craving this piece of land for a long time!
