The news of someone causing a ruckus at the Aquatic Mage Conference quickly spread.
Most people were shocked and in disbelief!
After all, that was Buddhism with millions of believers. It was not to be trifled with!
……
The next day,
Taiji Palace.
"Your Majesty, please help this poor monk!”
An old monk with a tattered robe and a bruised face knelt in the hall and cried.
"This Penniless Monk wants to sue the current Imperial Preceptor. It is an unpardonable crime to cause a ruckus at the Spiritual Conference and trample on the Buddhist Dharma! He even wants to sue Duke Lu for biting gold and beating me for no reason, causing me to…I hope Your Majesty can make a decision!”
This old monk was Monk Zhengjue from yesterday.
At this moment, compared to yesterday, he was extremely miserable.
"Your Majesty, the Aquatic Mage Conference is the best opportunity for the Great Tang to spread the Buddhist teachings and intimidate the world! If someone destroys it for no reason, it will damage the foundation of our Great Tang. This old subject asks Your Majesty to examine it clearly."
As soon as the old monk finished speaking, an old minister stepped forward and cupped his hands.
This old official was surnamed Xiao and named Yu. He was then a Guanglu doctor.
In his life, he believed in Buddhism the most and was good friends with Zheng Jue, which was why he stood out.
"I agree!"
"I also agree!"
……
Immediately, several officials cupped their hands and said.
The moment these words came out, it immediately caused a heated discussion in the imperial court.
"Old man Xiao, you've accepted the black money, right?"
Cheng Yaojin snorted." I know what those bald donkeys are like. They're like the lice on their heads. I know it very well!"”
"And you, old thieving baldy, still dare to sue your Grandpa Cheng. Are you tired of living?”
Cheng Yaojin said as he walked in front of Zheng Jue. He raised his hand and gave him two big slaps.
"You…"
In an instant, he was stunned!
No matter what, he would never have thought that Cheng Yaojin would actually make a move in front of the Tang Emperor!
"Impudent!"
Xiao Yu quickly stopped him and helped Zheng Jue to the side." Cheng Yaojin, you committed a crime in the main hall. What crime do you deserve?!"”
"It's annoying to hear dogs barking. Lord Xiao, you also know that this old man is a rough person and doesn't know how to reason with dogs. After giving it two kicks, its ears will be at peace and its heart will be at ease!”
Cheng Yaojin picked his ears and said impatiently.
"You…"
Xiao Yu flung his sleeves and said to Li Shimin," Your Majesty, this guy is so rude. Please punish him for his unfilial behavior!"”
"Zhijie, step down! I already know about this, but I heard that this was a battle between Master Xuanzang and the Imperial Advisor. It was inevitable that he would lose!”
Li Shimin scolded Cheng Yaojin and then changed the topic. It was obvious that he did not want to delve into the matter of Cheng Yaojin beating people up in the palace.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Cheng Yaojin said with a smile. Then, he changed the topic and said coldly,
"However, it doesn't matter if the bald monk lost. Not only did he not admit his defeat, but he even dared to find someone to threaten the Imperial Preceptor! If I, Old Cheng, hadn't arrived in time, the state preceptor would have been in danger!”
"Is that so? Beating up the Imperial Advisor on the streets was a capital offense!”
Hearing this, Li Shi Min seemed to be surprised. He immediately slapped the table in front of him and said solemnly," So, do you know your crime?”
"Ah?"
He was still in a daze after being beaten up. When he heard Li Shiming's question, he subconsciously raised his head.
"Your Majesty, this poor monk is…wronged!"
Just as he was about to cry out loud, this…how did it become that he was guilty?
"Your Majesty, with the monks and the commoners as witnesses, this old bald donkey really wanted to commit murder on the streets!”Cheng Yaojin said.
"Since there are witnesses and material evidence, are you saying that I did not distinguish between right and wrong and wronged you?”
Li Shiming's expression turned cold." Then, do you want me to find the monk from back then to confront you?"”
"This…"
He was panicking.
Originally, he thought that he had the advantage in numbers. Moreover, he had been the abbot of the Great Mercy Temple for so many years, and Li Shimin usually came to the Great Mercy Temple to burn incense, so he could be considered familiar with him.
And the state preceptor had only been in office for a month.
No matter what, he had the advantage!
Therefore, he asked his good friend Xiao Yu to help him report in front of the palace.
However, the development of this matter was not what he had expected at all!
He was stunned!
"It's good that you know your guilt!"
Seeing that Zheng Jue didn't say anything, Li Shimin nodded and directly convicted him,
"Where are the Thousand Bull Guards? Zheng Jue was sent to the imperial prison and executed after autumn! Without the abbot, there was no need for the Great Mercy Temple to exist!”
"Pass down my decree. The monks of the Great Mercy Temple will be forced to renounce asceticism, the land will be confiscated, and the temple will become the temple of the national master.”
Without giving Zheng Jue a chance to explain, two Thousand Ox Guards appeared outside the hall and took him away.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Cheng Yaojin glanced at Xiao Yu provocatively and cupped his hands.
"This…"
Xiao Yu was a little stunned, but he did not dare to say anything.
After all, Li Shiming's bias was obvious!
