    For Yang Guang, no matter what the final result of the investigation is, he is ready to throw it at the heads of the imperial families. He is ready to cleanse some uncooperative families again and severely damage their reputation.

    In Yang Guang¡¯s eyes, this matter has shifted from a cult involving Buddhism and Taoism to a conspiracy against him by aristocratic families.  From the beginning to the end, Yang Guang only believed that the powerful families that could threaten his rule were the big families. As for the Buddhist and Taoist families, no matter how large they were, they had no soldiers and horses, and it was difficult to achieve anything.

    As for Huang Mingyuan¡¯s suggestion, Yang Guang still did not make up his mind whether to rectify the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism.  After all, although the two families of Buddhism and Taoism do not hold power, they are involved in too many things and can easily lead to too many chain reactions.  However, Yang Guang also agreed to crack down on cults nationwide, especially targeting cult organizations in Hebei, Qingyan and other former hometowns of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

    However, as good fortune never comes in pairs, misfortune never comes alone. Before the Dingdingmen Incident ended, Gao Tansheng, a monk from Hebei Province, launched a rebellion in Huairong County, Zhuo County (now Zhuolu City, Hebei Province).

    Gao Tansheng is a figure who must be mentioned in both the history of Chinese religion and the history of Chinese rebellion, not because of how powerful he is or how powerful he is, but because he is the only monk emperor in Chinese history.  Zhu Yuanzhang only once served as a monk, then joined the army and became emperor, while Gao Tansheng directly led a group of monks to rebel and then proclaimed himself emperor.

    Gao Tansheng was originally a monk from Huairong County. Relying on his family's power, he claimed to be the royal family of the Northern Qi Dynasty and recruited thousands of people.  In particular, he raised hundreds of warrior monks in the temple. They did not chant sutras, worship Buddha, or meditate all day long, but focused on practicing martial arts and exercising their bodies.  These people have no compassion for monks, but rely on force to bully men and women in Huairong County, exploit the people, and commit all kinds of evil.

    ??And Huairong County is north of Taihang Mountain, close to Kouwai.  The power of the imperial court was lacking here, but as a monk and with the support of his family, Gao Tansheng was very powerful in Huairong County, and his arrogance became increasingly arrogant.

    In December of the fifth year of Daye, at the end of the year, the people of Huairong County celebrated together, and the officials and citizens also held sacrificial activities together, attracting many people to come and watch.

    Gao Tansheng led fifty monk soldiers to suddenly break into the altar, kill the county magistrate and the guard who were offering sacrifices, and then coerced the people of the city to openly rebel.  After occupying the county seat, Gao Tansheng claimed to be the Mahayana emperor, with the country name "Buddha" and the reign name **, and made the nun Jingxuan his queen.

    Then, there is no more.

    There are not many people who want to rebel these days, and there are also many people who actually rebel, but there are very few people like Gao Tansheng who regard rebellion as a child's play.

    After Gao Tansheng occupied Huairong County, he neither captured the city, expanded his strength, nor actively prepared for war to prevent the Sui army from encirclement and suppression. Instead, he sent dozens of surrender notices to the surrounding Sui army counties.

    Gao Tansheng made wishes to the surrounding Sui Dynasty officials, as well as bandits and bandits, and ordered them to comply. As a result, in the entire Huairong City, "the streets were full of dukes and there were as many stewards as dogs."

    ¡°It¡¯s a pity that all this is Gao Tansheng¡¯s self-pleasure.

    After the rebellion in Huairong County, news spread to Ji County, and soon the garrison of the Youzhou Governor's Office sent troops to Huairong City. In less than three days, the Sui army broke through Huairong City, and Gao Tansheng himself died in the rebellion.  among.

    A farce-like rebellion was put down in less than half a month.

    At this time, Huairong County was already in ruins. In less than half a month after Gao Tansheng occupied Huairong, more than half of the men in the city became monks, while all the women became nuns.  He also converted all the government offices in the city into temples, and his temples into palaces. All civil and military ministers also shaved their heads and wore cassocks.

    When the Sui army broke through the city, all the men in the city were shaved bald, which made people dumbfounded.

    Gao Tansheng¡¯s rebellion came and went quickly, but there were countless hidden secrets behind it.

    Gao Tansheng has been entrenched in Huairong County for many years, and he is not a fool. Now when the Sui Dynasty was strong, how could Gao Tansheng dare to rebel against the trend?

    It turns out that in the middle of last year, a Taoist priest came to Huairong County and came to visit me.  It is strange to say that the monk and the Taoist priest are two different families. They are enemies from birth. When they meet each other, it is enough not to beat each other up. How dare this Taoist priest come to the monk's door.

    Gao Tansheng originally thought that this Taoist priest was going to amuse himself, so he would be beaten up and kicked out.

    I didn¡¯t expect that this Taoist priest was really capable.  As soon as the Taoist priest saw Gao Tansheng, he bowed his head and murmured something.  Gao Tansheng was full of doubts, so the Taoist priest told Gao Tansheng that he could look at Qi, and Gao Tansheng was surrounded by five-color auspicious clouds, and his luck was extraordinary and very human.

    Gao Tansheng was so happy that he asked the Taoist priest to make a fortune for him.

    After the Taoist priest finished the calculation, he exclaimed that Gao Tansheng was from the WestWhen the Buddha's son comes to the world, he will ascend to the throne of the emperor and rule the world. Under his command, there will also be eighteen golden Arhats from the West who will descend to earth to help him and conquer the world for the Buddha.

    The Taoist priest¡¯s words told Gao Tansheng that in his heart, he was overjoyed.  Gao Tansheng has always believed that he has the blood of the Northern Qi royal family, and ascending the throne as emperor is a matter of destiny.

    After that, Gao Tansheng introduced the Taoist priest to his home and regarded him as a military advisor.  This Taoist priest also gave Gao Tansheng advice, and Gao Tansheng's power soon increased greatly.  And Gao Tansheng also trusted him more and more, and finally reached the point where he obeyed his words.

    This was the Taoist priest's plan to attack and kill the county magistrate during the sacrifice.

    After occupying Huairong County, Gao Tansheng was very satisfied. After everyone's persuasion, he triumphantly ascended the throne and became the emperor.

    When the Sui army besieged the city and the building was about to collapse, Gao Tansheng realized that the previous Taoist priest had disappeared.  At this time, he could not advance or retreat, and he did not have much talent. He could only rely on hundreds of monks and soldiers around him, and finally Huairong City was destroyed.  The rebel army swarmed forward, and Gao Tansheng was killed by everyone who was competing for strength and merit.

    When he was dying, Gao Tansheng was still talking about his military advisor. He was the son of Buddha who came to the world, and there were eighteen Arhats to help him. Why did you suddenly run away?

    ¡°As everyone knows, the Taoist priest did not lie to him. As expected, he became the emperor this year and had a nun and queen. But what he didn¡¯t expect was that the emperor died in less than half a month.

    At this time, in Jixian County, more than 300 miles away, a Taoist priest was riding a skinny donkey on his way leisurely.  This Taoist priest is slovenly and his true age cannot be seen. If Huang Mingyuan could be here, he would recognize that this old Taoist priest is Ling Jing, who has been away from him for almost ten years.

    At this time, Ling Jing no longer had the youthful appearance of the fledgling, he was just a dirty wandering Taoist priest.

    The Youzhou General Administration put down the rebellion within its jurisdiction and quickly reported it to the emperor.  On normal days, such a rebellion would be nothing more than a farce by a few fools, and would not even reach the emperor's table. But the incident involved monks, and the Dingdingmen incident that just passed has not ended yet, and no one dares to mention it.  Hidden from the emperor.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
