The Hua Sheng Temple was completely destroyed in the battle, leaving only a few ordinary monks who were taken into the Supreme Court.
State Duke Lu was knocked off his horse by a monk!
The news spread throughout Chang 'an like the wind, and the entire court was shocked.
The Emperor personally moved to the Cheng Mansion to check on the safety of State Duke Lu.
"Your Majesty, please issue an imperial decree to thoroughly investigate all the monasteries in the Great Tang. Anyone who misbehaves will be severely punished!”
"Your Majesty, I request that you issue a decree to take back the temple's privilege of not paying taxes and cancel their qualifications to own fertile land and private property!”
Qin Qiong and Xu Maogong knelt down to ask for the decree. That Cao Guan Wei Zheng actually started to kick him when he was down.
The Emperor was already in a fit of anger, so he immediately gave the order to grant the requests of the ministers.
For a time, the atmosphere of worshipping Buddha in the Great Tang was extinguished, and Li Ke had only used a few tricks.
"Foolish!"
In the Jinshan Temple in Jiang Prefecture, Guan Yin Bodhisattva was furious after receiving the news.
It didn't matter if a few Buddhist disciples died, but the Great Tang's Buddhist worship had been extinguished. This would be a huge blow to the future of Buddhism.
If he wanted to preach, he had to rely on the masses.
Now, the hundreds of years of hard work of the Buddhist Sect had been completely wasted.
What was even more hateful was that this matter was initiated by the Buddhist Sect, so Li Ke did not violate the agreement between him and Guan Yin Bodhisattva.
This made Guan Yin Bodhisattva unable to find a suitable excuse to attack Li Ke.
"It's all my fault. When I saw the Golden Cicada Master, I was too pleased with myself and forgot to warn those disciples!”
Guan Yin Bodhisattva gritted her teeth in hatred, but there was nothing she could do.
Guan Yin Bodhisattva wasn't afraid of Li Ke, but of the " power " behind him.
She had always thought that Li Ke had a strong backing behind him, so she did not dare to completely fall out with Li Ke.
After all, Li Ke's performance was too strong. His fearless appearance successfully intimidated Guan Yin Bodhisattva.
"This matter is of great importance. The Journey to the West tribulation cannot be lost. I will go back first and talk to Buddha Bingming!”
After Guan Yin Bodhisattva made up his mind, he left the Hui 'an Walker to preside over the affairs of the Golden Mountain Temple. He rode on the Golden Hou and headed to the Western Heaven.
Guan Yin Bodhisattva was prepared to swallow her anger and not argue with Li Ke, but Li Ke did not intend to let her pass so easily.
Not long after the Great Tang ordered a thorough investigation of Buddhism, Li Ke was sent by the Tang King to his fief, the State of Wu, to preside over government affairs.
Chen Guangrui also " coincidentally " took up the position of Governor of Jiangzhou and left Chang 'an with Li Ke, arriving in Jiangzhou.
Jiang Prefecture was a big city in the Wu Kingdom. As the King of Wu, Li Ke could naturally be anywhere he wanted.
If Guan Yin Bodhisattva knew that Li Ke had come to Jiangzhou to cause trouble for her, she wondered how angry she would be.
Guan Yin Bodhisattva had returned to the Great Thunderclap Monastery, while Li Ke and Chen Guangrui had arrived at Jiang Prefecture.
Chen Guangrui took up the post and became the Governor of Jiang Prefecture. Under Li Ke's wise leadership, the entire Jiang Prefecture and even the entire Wu Land prospered.
At this time, the Grand Canal of the Sui and Tang Dynasties had already been opened. On this basis, Li Ke continued to show his "miracles" and dredge the water, making the already abundant water in Wu become accessible by water.
For a time, Li Ke's name resounded throughout Jiangnan. Everyone in the King of Wu's fief praised Li Ke.
After Li Ke did this, the human luck in his body instantly rose to a new height.
"As long as I benefit the people and let the human race prosper, I can increase the fate of the human race. The power of fate I obtain will also greatly increase.”
Li Ke felt more and more power of providence in his body. He seemed to have found a way to make the human race stronger.
As long as the human race became more and more prosperous and the number of humans increased, the power of providence of the entire human race would continue to increase. It might even reach the level of the Primordial World in the end.
Back then, the Primordial World was endless, and there were more than hundreds of millions of humans.
Unfortunately, the human race was currently living in the Earth Immortal Realm, and only the Jambu Continent had a slightly higher concentration of human beings.
As for the West He Niu Province, the East Victory Divine Province, and the North Province, these three provinces were all occupied by the Sorcerer Tribe, the Demon Tribe, and other experts.
Although there were some humans in these three continents, the situation of the humans there was very worrying. They could not reach the point of ruling a continent at all.
"If we want the human race to prosper, we must first increase the population. Only by increasing the number of humans can we slowly rise!”
After Li Ke understood this, he instantly issued many new policies to promote the people's livelihood and strongly promote childbirth.
As soon as these policies were implemented, the people cheered and praised Li Ke. Many people even took the initiative to build temples for Li Ke and worship him as an immortal.
For a moment, Li Ke clearly felt that his luck had become even more condensed. He even felt that the power of luck in his body had already surpassed that of his cheapskate father.
Just as Li Ke was in full swing, Cai Yun Fairy also arrived at Jiang Prefecture.
As for her purpose, no one knew.
