Therefore, Zhao Xu's edict was aimed at the seven inches of these people.

Just deliberately trying to choke their necks.

Of course, Zhao Xu was actually just showing off.

As the Empress Dowager Xiang said - the great monks are the executors of Zhao Guan's family's religious policies.

If you get rid of them, the reputation of the official temple may be greatly reduced, which is shooting yourself in the foot.

Especially the great monks in Bianjing City, almost all of them are members of the system.

In a sense, they and Zhao Guan's family are actually in the same boat.

This is also the reason why great monks can do the quality warehouse business.

Therefore, Zhao Xu is actually playing a coward's game and applying extreme pressure.

The purpose is to force the great monks to give in and compromise.

Empress Dowager Xiang didn't know this, so she just held Zhao Xu's hand and said softly: "Sixth brother still has to consider these things, give or take at his discretion, and forgive."

Zhao Xu naturally wanted to give face to the two palaces.

Of course, this was already in his calculations. From the beginning, he had already figured out the bottom line.

He said: "Since the mother-in-law and the queen mother have said so, I will think about it again..."

“Find a way to get the best of both worlds!”

"It can not only strictly regulate the Buddhist rules and clear out a small group of unscrupulous monks who ruin the reputation of the Buddha and do not abide by the precepts, but at the same time do not harm those who truly worship the Buddha sincerely."

The emperor issued an edict.

If there is no flag-sacrifice, where will the emperor put his face?

Naturally, we need to capture a few typical people to come out and offer sacrifices to the flag!

At the same time, it also kills the chicken to show the monkeys, so that the great monks can know how powerful it is.

Of course, this matter is actually the same as the story of Journey to the West.

There is a background and a backer.

There are Buddhas and Taoist ancestors interceding for mercy.

Those who don't have heels can only blame themselves for their bad luck and have to walk under the golden cudgel.

When the two palaces heard Zhao Xu's statement, they immediately laughed.

After all, they actually don't care much about the affairs of the great monks.

The reason why they intervened in this matter was based on their own reasons.

It's also a matter of face.

Others came to ask for help, so I had no choice but to help and talk.

After all, those temples had decades of connections with the Gao family and the Xiang family. In addition, what they said made sense, so they chose to help.
