Back to the early Tang Dynasty to be a fairy

Chapter 684 Prince, our surname is Li, the Taoist is our own

On the day of the new moon, it's time for the Great Court Meeting again!
Under the leadership of Prince Li Jiancheng and Shang Shuling Li Shimin, all the civil and military officials danced and saluted His Majesty Li Yuan in the Taiji Hall.His Highness Li Jiancheng, whose complexion was pale, even gray hair appeared at the end of his hair, stepped out, knelt down on both knees in the middle of the hall, bowed down in front of His Majesty Li Yuan, and said respectfully.

"My child is ready to play something!"

"Heh..."

Green smoke curled up from the smoker on Majesty Dan, and from behind the smoke came the yawning voice of His Majesty Li Yuan deliberately suppressed.

"The prince has something to do, just play it!"

"Yes!"

Li Jiancheng respectfully agreed, then took out a letter from his sleeve, and held it up with both hands.

"My boy impeached the king of Qin, Li Shimin, for his misbehavior. He sent troops to plunder the monasteries in Chang'an, arrested innocent monks at will, and plundered.

"Heh..."

Li Yuan, who was sitting on the dragon chair, yawned again, and then pointed. The servant at the side immediately stepped forward to take the document from Li Jiancheng's hand, turned around and handed it to Li Yuan respectfully.

Li Yuan reached out to take the document in the servant's hand, and at the same time said very casually to Li Shimin who was standing on the side.

"Erlang, do you have anything to say about what Dalang said?"

"Yes! Aye Rong reported..."

Recently, Li Shimin, who has become more and more energetic and energetic, and his face has become younger and younger, came out from the side, bowed his head respectfully to Li Yuan, and replied with a serious face.

"The child's actions are all out of public interest. There is absolutely no such thing as looting or looting. As for the matter of deceiving the superior and the inferior, and harming the public and private interests, it is even more nonsense. Please Aye be careful!"

"Erlang, you are talking nonsense!"

Li Jiancheng raised his head, stared at Li Shimin coldly, and said in a low voice.

"You and your men have robbed and sealed at least thirty or forty monasteries in Chang'an, and the seals on the gates are still there. How can you make excuses!"

"There is no quibble..."

Facing Li Jiancheng's accusation, Li Shimin immediately retorted.

"As for the sealed-up monasteries you mentioned, Gu admits that there is something real, but those are all accomplices who conspired against the monk Puying who assassinated Gu!"

"Erlang, do you believe what you said?"

Li Jiancheng still looked at Li Shimin closely, and said solemnly.

"The temple is a place for Buddhist monks to practice. Where did the assassin come from, and the great monk Puying has already passed away. You are clearly framing him."

"Originally I didn't want to talk about making this matter public, but now that Dalang has brought your words to this point, I have to say so too!"

For Li Jiancheng's words, Li Shimin seems to have been prepared.As soon as his words fell, he immediately took out a thick stack of documents from his arms, turned around and bowed to His Majesty Li Yuan, and held it up high.

"Aye, after Hai'er's investigation, the matter of Puying monk's resignation is pure nonsense. He is not dead, but has been hiding in Riyan Temple in Qinglongfang, until Hai'er intends to arrest him. , For the past few days, he has been hiding in various temples in Chang'an... This is the confession of his whereabouts by the monks of Riyan Temple and other monks who met Puying Monk."

Li Yuan yawned listlessly again and waved his hands.

After the servant Li Shimin took the document away, Li Shimin straightened up and said to Li Jiancheng.

"Dalang, now I just want to ask you a question. When Aye handed over the case of Falla's treason to you, you said that monk Puying and other suspects all sat down because they felt that they had said something wrong. Why did Monk Puying jump out alive and kicked out and assassinated Su Guogong Cheng Yaojin and Gu in public? Could it be that he won’t be able to resurrect himself from the dead?”

"This one……"

Li Jiancheng hesitated for a moment, then asked back.

"Then Erlang, you said that both Cheng Yaojin and you were assassinated by the Great Monk Puying. Do you have any evidence?"

"Of course there is!"

Li Shimin reached out again and took out a stack of documents from his other sleeve.

"This is the confession made by the monks of Riyan Temple who said they heard the conspiracy between Monk Puying and Monk Fatai, the abbot of the temple, to assassinate the lone staff member of Tiance Mansion, and the short sword that Puying used to assassinate Gu was also in Riyan It was found in the temple, so it can be said that there are all kinds of witnesses and material evidence."

Seeing that the evidence prepared by Qin Wang Li Shimin was so comprehensive, even the court officials who believed in Buddhism couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

With such sufficient evidence, could it be that Monk Puying really did the assassination?
Probably!

After all, everyone knows that Buddhism is close to the crown prince, and it is not impossible to assassinate King Qin's staff in order to help the crown prince. As for why the king of Qin was assassinated?

We all know through the grapevine...

Bailong Yufu, he hit the opponent's knife point by himself!

"you……"

Li Jiancheng looked at the stack of documents in Li Shimin's hands, and gritted his teeth silently.

"These are fake!"

"It's easy to find out whether the evidence is falsified..."

As soon as Li Jiancheng's voice fell, Li Shimin directly forced him up.

"After all, the monks who confessed are still alive, Aye can send people to interrogate at will, but you, Dalang, why didn't you read these confessions, and secondly, didn't plan to interrogate witnesses, so you just said that these evidences are forged Woolen cloth?"

"..."

After hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Jiancheng was at a loss for words.

nonsense!

Gu naturally knows that neither Cheng Yaojin nor you Li Shimin were assassinated by some general, because the former was ordered to do it by a warrior, while the latter is likely to be a non-existent thing, which was made up by you, Li Erfeng.

But these words obviously cannot be said here!

"All right!"

At this moment, His Majesty Li Yuan, who was sitting on the dragon chair, spoke up.

"Stop arguing, you two!"

In fact, when Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were arguing, His Majesty Li Yuan was not idle, but took the opportunity to read the document that Li Jiancheng sent up, and then silently compared it with the list in the pile of documents that Li Shimin handed over. for a moment.It was found that the gold and silver utensils lost in the monastery described by Dalang, property such as house certificates and title deeds can basically be matched with the list Erlang gave himself.

Very good, it seems that Erlang didn't hide anything this time!
Ah!
Erlang is doing things more and more in line with my expectations now.

"Pu Ying and Fa Ya secretly colluded together and planned to plot rebellion. It was a reminder from the distant ancestor Gao Shangdao Jinque Xuanyuan Emperor himself to me. The evidence is conclusive and beyond doubt!"

His Majesty Li Yuan opened his mouth and directly set the tone for this matter.

"When I handed over this case to you, the prince, I hoped that you would investigate it to the bottom. As a result, you procrastinated for a long time, causing Puying to feign death and escape. Dalang, you are indeed negligent in this matter!"

"Yes!"

After hearing His Majesty Li Yuan's words, although Li Jiancheng was a little surprised, he still gritted his teeth and silently accepted the burden.

"The child knows his mistake!"

"There's nothing wrong with anyone, get up!"

Seeing himself as a ten-year-old child, His Majesty Li Yuan waved his hands unbearably, motioning him to stand up.

"I know that you were also deceived, thinking that since these Buddhist monks shouted compassion, they must have a good heart, but I don't know that these monks are hiding evil intentions in private, and they are first-class bad people.

If you, Dalang, wiped out Puying and their rebels with thunder, how could Erlang and Su Guogong Cheng Yaojin be assassinated now?This is a lesson..."

Speaking of this, His Majesty Li Yuan looked at Li Jiancheng and said earnestly.

"Dalang! In the future, you must not think that someone who has read Buddhist scriptures for a few days like you is your own. After all, our surname is Li, and we are descendants of Emperor Gaoshang Dao Jinque Xuanyuan. Only those who believe in The Taoist priests of the distant ancestors are our own people!"

After hearing His Majesty Li Yuan's words, Li Jiancheng gritted his teeth silently, and finally resisted the intention of retorting, and lowered his head to answer.

"Yes! The child knows..."

His Majesty Li Yuan felt very relieved when he saw that this foolish child who believed in Buddhism did not argue with him this time, saying that the Buddha is a great sage and other nonsense.

"In short, the assassination of King Qin this time shows that the bad guys in the Buddhist sect who wanted to plot rebellion did not become timid because of Fa Ya's fear of committing suicide, so King Qin will continue to investigate and must catch Pu Ying. Find out how many people colluded with him..."

"Yes!"

Li Shimin cupped his fists and bowed to Li Yuan.

"My son obeys!"

After resolving this matter, His Majesty Li Yuan casually handed the documents in his hands to the servant on one side, and then asked.

"Then let's leave this matter as it is for the time being. Do you have anything else to do?"

"Report to the saint!"

A handsome-looking middle-aged man in a purple robe came out of the queue, bowed deeply to His Majesty Li Yuan in the center of the hall, and said loudly.

"Lieutenant-in-law, Huo Guogong Chai Shaoping's military exploits in pacifying Tuyuhun have been inspected, and the situation is true. Please give the sage a reward at his discretion!"

"Oh!"

After hearing the news, His Majesty Li Yuan raised his eyebrows silently.

By the way, if Chen Shuda didn't mention it, he would almost forget that he still has such a son-in-law. After all, when he mentions San Niangzi's husband-in-law, the first thing he thinks of is a handsome little Taoist priest in white clothes.

"Bring it up!"

After the servant brought up the military exploits report in Chen Shuda's hand and the military exploits report written by Chai Shao himself, His Majesty Li Yuan glanced at it hastily, and then pondered silently.

"That's all. It's just that it seems inappropriate for Chai Shao to go back to Chang'an to start the province. A talent like Sichang should be in charge. How about..."

His Majesty Li Yuan tapped the armrest of the dragon chair with his hand, and continued.

"After Yang Wengan's rebellion, Gyeongju lacks talent in one aspect, so let Sichang go!"

"Report to Aye!"

Before Chen Shuda agreed, Li Jiancheng stood up suddenly.

"Sichang has been on the expedition for too long, and it is inappropriate for him and Pingyang to get together too little, so I think he should go back to Chang'an first. As for the position of the governor of Qingzhou, I think..."

"Prince, you still don't think..."

Before Li Jiancheng could finish his sentence, Li Shimin stood up and stabbed him.

"Yang Wengan, whom you recommended before, is still the best!"

After hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Jiancheng was furious, but he had nothing to say for a while.

"Erlang, you..."

Li Shimin also ignored him, but bowed down to Li Yuan on his own.

"My boy agrees with what Aye said. Gyeongju and other places are facing the Turks directly. Only a talent like Sichang can't control them. As for the matter that Dalang said that Sichang and Princess Pingyang get together less and leave more, my boy thinks it's fake There is no need to transfer him back to Chang'an!"

"Correct!"

After hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Yuan immediately nodded happily.

"What Erlang said is very true, and I think so too, so this matter is settled like this!"

Seeing the scene where the two of them met each other, Li Jiancheng, who was standing aside, slightly squinted his eyes, then lowered his head to hide the uncontrollable fierce light in his eyes.

　In the last chapter, when Wu Zetian became a monk, Mengxin mentioned Lingbao Temple and Chongsheng Palace.

　　Later, in the second year of Fengyi, these two temples were merged into one temple by Li Zhi, called Chongsheng Temple. Since then, this temple has always been the first temple in Chang'an. Jinshi's "cherry banquet" is held here.

　　Of course, the big tree attracts the wind, and the Chongsheng Temple was destroyed when Wu Zong exterminated Buddha!
　　Later, during the Tianshun period of the Ming Dynasty, because the jade statue of the Medicine Buddha was dug out at the site of the Chongsheng Temple, Zhu Gongxi, King of Qin, rebuilt the Chongsheng Temple and renamed it Da Chongren Temple. According to records, it is large in scale and exquisite in architecture. There are more than 500 statues of Arhats, which makes it once again surpass the famous temples and ancient temples such as Ci'en and Jianfu with the Big and Small Wild Goose Pagodas, and become the number one temple in Xi'an!
　　Later, in the same year of Qingxian, Da Chongren Temple was destroyed by war again!

　　By the way, the famous "Da Qin Nestorian Popular Chinese Monument", which tells the story of the Christian Nestorian missionaries in the Tang Dynasty, was placed in Da Chongren Temple for a long time. If you are interested, you can check it yourself. .
