Chapter 229: After the War And it seems to be a congratulatory gift to Li Zhen on his ascension to the throne, and good news will come one after another for a period of time.
First of all, under the search of the intelligence system, the remnants of the family who were still lurking in Chang'an City also quickly revealed their traces, and under the joint efforts of the Sixteen Guards and the intelligence department, everyone was captured alive.
What awaits them will be the harshest punishment, even their families will be unlucky, they will be expelled from the Tang nationality and Han nationality, and they and their descendants will never be able to claim to be Tang and Han people, and become the most miserable and helpless people in the world (it is estimated that no country with an iron head will have the courage to accept the sinners of the Tang Dynasty as its citizens), and they will never be able to turn over.
Secondly, Confucianism and Buddhism began to show goodwill to Li Zhen, and immediately contributed the location of the secret strongholds of the two factions in Chang'an City, and sent all the disciples of the faction who supported Li Zhi and their families to Chang'an, leaving Li Zhen at his disposal, hoping that Li Zhen would forgive the two families.
The problem is that after this rebellion, not only Li Zhen has a bad impression of the two factions, but also Li Shimin and the ministers, who have a bad impression of these two factions, and they have deeply realized that the two factions are already a cancer for today's Tang Dynasty, and if they are not resolved, they may really endanger their lives.
Therefore, the Manchu civil and military adopted a zero-tolerance attitude towards Confucianism and Buddhism this time, and if Li Zhen did not oppose it, it is estimated that there were short-tempered generals who led the army to uproot the two families.
Of course, Li Zhen did not have a good heart, although he did not take the opportunity to destroy the Buddhism, but he also took this opportunity to establish the Buddhist Society, which can be regarded as putting a mantra on the head of the Buddhism.
And sure enough, as Li Zhen expected, after hesitating for a long time, Buddhism still pinched his nose and agreed, which is also a matter of course, although Buddhism is a foreign religion, but after hundreds of years of inheritance, they have long been integrated into the Central Plains civilization, but in their birthplace Tianzhu, but almost suppressed by Brahmanism became a lost dog.
Now the Tang Dynasty is the foundation of Buddhism, once Li Zhen expels Buddhism, then they will become rootless duckweed, and they don't want to return to their former glory.
On the contrary, although there is a mother-in-law in charge of the head now, and Taoism will soon surpass itself, it can still continue to preach in Datang and keep its foundation.
And with the acceleration of the pace of Datang's future conquest, Buddhism will follow the footsteps of Datang, and it will develop again, and even beyond the present is not a dream - on the one hand, it is completely extinct, on the other hand, it is beyond the present, these two choices are what individuals know how to choose.
As for Confucianism, Li Zhen also accepted their apology, but in the following days, it became obvious that Li Zhen was consciously expelling Confucianism, and the courtiers from Confucianism were all excluded and targeted to varying degrees, and even more had been deposed as commoners and would never be hired.
It is conceivable that if this continues, after more than ten or twenty years, the court will no longer see the traces of Confucianism, and science will completely replace Confucianism and become the new overlord of the court.
However, this overlord will not be as domineering as Confucianism, and will not allow the slightest dissenting voice, so as to dominate the court, because science itself is a messy discipline, and it is destined to be unable to unite together, for example, those who do technology will never have a common language with those who are officials, and those who do research will not sit with those who write articles, but in a broad sense, these professions are indeed factions in science.
Therefore, the science of different industries can only hold their own groups, and it will be difficult for the court to have this situation again in the future, even if the minister is strong and the king is weak, with the checks and balances of the rest, it is difficult for the strong minister to replace the king.
In this regard, Confucianism is naturally very frightened, of course they don't want to lose their current status like this, but they have no better way to do this, after all, they have just made a big mistake, Li Zhen can forgive them, and they are already magnanimous without deposing Confucianism, where do they dare to gain an inch at this time?
Don't dare to use drastic methods to persecute Li Zhen, otherwise that is the real way to die.
In the face of the current crisis of Confucianism, the various factions of Confucianism also gave up their suspicions of each other and gathered together to discuss countermeasures.
But in the face of Li Zhen, who is not in the oil and salt, they really don't know how to act, and they can only hope that the next generation will consciously approach Li Zhen's sons, and use Confucianism to infect the future prince, hoping to restore their status by such a method.
However, Li Zhen had already guessed that they would do this, so the teachers he invited for his children were all professors and students from Wentian Shuyuan, cutting off the calculation of Confucianism, and from then on, Confucianism can only be used as an academic study in the Tang Dynasty, although the possibility of entering the court is not all cut off, but it is completely impossible to dominate the court like Zhenguan did before, and Li Zhen will not allow such a thing to happen.
In addition, Li Zhen also uprooted the foundations of the major families, because he announced the crimes of the family in advance, so this time the people did not sympathize with the family, so Li Zhen's actions were unusually smooth.
But it was precisely because the news of Li Zhi's defeat had already spread that the core members of the major families had already escaped from the back road reserved in advance with the help of the Blood Alliance, except for being captured alive in Chang'an City.
So this time, Li Zhen's arrest operation only caught some small shrimp and was far away, but the real high-level of the family did not catch a few.
However, although the arrest operation failed, Li Zhen was not disappointed, because he did not carry out this arrest operation to really arrest all the families, his fundamental purpose was actually to eliminate the existence of the family.
And although these people from the family have successfully escaped now, they have become rats crossing the street, and they dare not reveal their identities at all, so they can only hide incognito, and there is no day to turn over, so that Li Zhen's goal has been achieved, and it doesn't matter if they are alive or not.
What's more, these people have fled, but their wanted warrants are still there, and their nationality and nationality have been removed, even if they flee the country, they dare not reveal their identity as Tang people, otherwise human traffickers alone are enough to make them die without a place to bury.
Besides, Datang is destined to conquer the world in the future, and even the whole world is Datang's territory, even if these people hide, how long can they hide?
They will eventually reappear in Datang's eyes one day.
