Chapter 638: Behind the Scenes

On the first day of the purge operation, there were tensions everywhere in Chang'an City. After the government orders, everything was decisive and decisive.

From streets and alleys to some public places, they are all subjects of investigation by yamen at all levels. Once someone is determined to have any connection with the Three Pure Cults, they will be taken to the yamen to question the crime without saying anything. If they admit that they are members of the Three Pure Cults, they will continue to be detained. If they explain clearly the relationship with the Three Pure Cults in public, they can file the record and go home by themselves.

For a moment, everyone in Chang'an City was in danger.

Liu Yu had no choice. Although such an action would put Chang'an City in a semi-chaotic state and cause internal unstability, it was like a pain. Without going through it, there would be no healing of the wound. In the face of such a big problem, if you always think that stability is better than everything, it would only make the situation worse and step by step to an uncontrollable level.

It is necessary to eradicate the Three Puritans as soon as possible. Liu Yu wants to come now, and it may be a bit too late to start his own actions, which has already spread the tumor.

In addition to the residents in the city, everyone is in danger, and even the yamen at all levels are also conducting a self-inspection operation. Everyone is afraid of being involved in the Three Pure Land Cult, and even officials are not spared. The development of the Three Pure Land Cult has penetrated into all levels of society. Many people usually don’t believe this, but after following the crowd, they want to try it. Human nature in this world always tends to be grandly united, and they will follow what the people around them do, which leads to Liu Yu’s realization of how serious the spread of the Three Pure Land Cult has reached. The Three Pure Land Cult is even more popular in Guanzhong than Buddhism and Taoism.

The yamen is busy.

Several prison cells under Jingzhao Mansion were already crowded in less than half a day. Wang Hu hurriedly mobilized people and opened a cell in several yamen offices of Jingzhao Mansion to detain the church members. But by the afternoon, it was already full. Wang Hu complained. He did not believe in any gods. He only knew that his life was his own, and that man conquered nature. Although no faith was usually without principles, he still followed a good rule, that is, nothing could disturb his future. Now that there were more of these church members, he was in danger and felt that it seemed to hinder his future development.

After noon, Wang Hu hurried to the palace to ask Liu Yu for instructions on the matter and reported that Jingzhao Mansion was currently short of manpower, insufficient prison cells and insufficient funds. Liu Yu listened and just gave an instruction with a cinnabar pen: "Even the shortage must be sufficient, solve it yourself!"

Wang Hu looked at it and came out in disappointment. He saw Li Mi's figure. Judging from Li Mi's expression, the situation in the Six Defense Department and the Ministry of War also seemed to be very bad. Li Mi also came to find Liu Yu to make trouble. Seeing Li Mi's embarrassment, Wang Hu suddenly felt in a good mood, which means it was not the difficulty of his Jingzhao Mansion family. If it was difficult, everyone would be in trouble, so that the law would not blame the public.

Li Mi's arrival was to explain to Liu Yu what the Ministry of War learned about the purge of the three Puritans within the two camps outside Chang'an City.

The court suddenly investigated the problem of the Three Puritans, which also caused shock in the army. Soon some soldiers reported that some people in the army were taking the opportunity to promote doctrines to ordinary soldiers. Originally, they found that there was no public statement in the army, and they felt that this was no different from promoting Taoism and Buddhism, and they did not attract enough attention. At that time, several missionaries were just beaten with military sticks and were immediately put back.

At the beginning of this purge operation, the military investigated missionaries and believers and detained many people for a while.

According to Li Mi, fortunately, the court took action in time to curb the large-scale development of the Three Puritans in the army. However, even so, in the two camps outside Chang'an City, many believers were found, and many believers were hidden in the army and difficult to investigate. Regarding the issue of faith, as long as the believers are kept confidential, no one knows how many people were involved. Li Mi came over and mainly said that the army was not like ordinary people. In Li Mi's opinion, there was no way to accommodate any borers in the army. This increased the difficulty of investigation. If the people below reported it, the morale of the army would be distorted. If the superiors rely on the investigation, they would not know the specific situation below.

Anyway, it's a dilemma.

Liu Yu said: "The court expressed its attitude in the army, so that the army could know what the Three Puritans were doing, and then gradually, those believers would become disbelief. This is a process, and there is no need to be too hasty."

Liu Yu asked Li Mi to focus on his work on the Six Defense Department first and asked him to cooperate with Wang Hu's actions. The situation presented at this time was that there were signs of loss of control within Chang'an City, and it was not enough to achieve success by relying on the hundreds of yamen affairs in Jingzhao Mansion.

After batches of people left, as dusk approached, Liu Yu temporarily put down his affairs and left the palace to Liu Liniang's place. At this time, not only the court was doing business, but Liu Liniang was also helping Liu Yu investigate the officials of the court. When Liu Liniang reported the recent investigation and the latest follow-up investigation of her coming this day, Liu Yu directly slapped the list on the table.

"Who did I meet?" Liu Yu looked at Liu Liniang angrily.

Liu Liniang said, "Twelve Young Master, don't be so shocked, I'm so scared that I'm so scared. That's right. Today, we sent someone to follow Li Yannian. When we saw him entering a remote place, we knew that he was strange. However, in order not to be discovered, the people who followed him dared not get too close, but only knew that he had entered a house. Not long after he came out, two people came out inside, and it seemed nothing special. Later, these two people went to a temple in the city to hold orders. Only then did we know that these two young people were monks without hair."

Liu Yu frowned. When will the monk come out to wade into the muddy water?

"Have you ever asked in the temple?"

Liu Liniang said again: "Today, the court began to investigate the Three Puritans, and all temples and Taoist temples were very cautious and did not dare to open the door. Our people had to go in and ask, for fear that they would be noticed, so they just followed them and looked over and took a look. There was nothing special and they retreated. However, from all aspects, Li Yannian should have some connection with the Three Puritans."

Liu Yu was also very annoyed. In fact, it took more than a day or two to disagree with Li Yannian. If he was not Li Zheer's father and a veteran of three dynasties, Liu Yu would not use him to achieve a delicate balance in the government. With Li Yannian as the Minister of Personnel, Liu Yu was also giving some explanations to the old ministers of the previous dynasty, so that they could feel that the court still had a place to live.

But the gap between Li Yannian and him was too deep. Perhaps this is why Li Yannian was used by the Three Puritans. Liu Yuxin was the hardest thing to explain to Li Zheer. With Li Zheer's relationship, Li Yannian said that he was his relative, and he couldn't get out of this killer.
