A few days later, Li Shiming held a ceremony to officially welcome the statue of Li Er into the palace. This was an extremely high-profile event that attracted countless people to watch!
Li Shimin even built a Taoist temple for Laozi in Chang 'an and appointed Li Chunfeng of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau as the abbot of Laozi Taoist temple! For a moment, it caused a sensation in the world!
Laozi Taoist Temple attracted countless people to worship it. No matter what, there was a glazed Taoist statue here. It was worth worshipping!
It could be said that during this period of time, Taoism was in the limelight. Vaguely, its reputation had already surpassed Buddhism!
However, the Buddhist monks all fell silent and did not jump out. It seemed that they were afraid of Taoism!
"It will be a bitter battle in the future!"
Li Shi Min muttered to himself as he looked at the news that kept coming in.
On the surface, it looked calm, but in the dark, there was a storm. This time, they had completely offended the Buddhist Sect and could be said to have already gone against the Buddhist Sect!
According to the original plan, he would have to wait until after the destruction of the Turks to deal with the Buddhist issue.
Now, after Li Chufeng's provocation, this matter had been brought forward, allowing Buddhism to jump into Li Shimin's eyes first.
"No, Minister Du, Minister Fang, Zhen is still worried about the great clans! What plan would Mu 'er use to deal with the great clans?”
Li Shiming narrowed his eyes and turned to Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling.
Now that he had seen his son's power, he was truly a little worried. If this continued, his son might really collapse the Great Tang!
"Your Majesty, the great clans and the imperial family are on guard against each other and have long been enemies. However, no matter what, they will not fall out with each other, so don't worry. The Second Prince will definitely not be able to force you to attack the great clans!”
Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling looked at each other and promised in unison!
The two of them had also discussed it in private. No matter what scheme Li Chufeng was using, the two of them could see the problem. As long as Li Shiming didn't step on the thunder, nothing would happen!
Hearing their determination, Li Shi Min was relieved. He couldn't help but smile and said,"With Minister Fang and Minister Du, Zhen is much more at ease. No matter how cunning Feng 'er is, he can't be better than the two of you!”
"Your Majesty has praised me!"
Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling also cupped their hands and said humbly,""For the Second Prince to be so intelligent at such a young age, he is already extremely intelligent. In time, he will definitely become one of the top figures of the Great Tang!”
"Hahaha!" Li Shi Min also laughed. Everything was settled, and he was finally much happier.
At this moment, the secret guard sneaked in and bowed respectfully to Li Shiming.
"Your Majesty, there is a letter from the Second Prince!”
"Hiss!"
In an instant, everyone's expression turned grave. Everyone knew that Li Chufeng had sent another letter this time. He must be preparing to make a move against the aristocratic families!
"Quick, let me take a look!"
Li Shi Min's eyes narrowed as he quickly said. He reached out and took the letter from the guard's hand, reading it seriously.
As he read, Li Shiming's face became more and more serious!
At this moment, the atmosphere in the arena also froze. Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling exchanged a glance and were both extremely nervous. They were extremely curious about Li Chufeng's plan this time!
"Sigh!" This time, Li Shi Min wasn't angry. Instead, he sighed deeply, looking exhausted.
"Take a look!" Li Shimin handed the envelope to Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling.
Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling took the envelope and read it seriously.
"Hiss!"
As they watched, they could hear the two of them gasping in shock. In the end, they looked tired and shook their heads helplessly. They sighed like Li Shiming.
"Sigh!"
"Sigh!" Li Shimin sighed helplessly when he heard their sighs.
The three of them sighed in the Dew Palace. They were clearly helpless against Li Chufeng's new plan.
Du Ruhui praised.
"The Second Prince is truly a genius. With his ability, I'm afraid no one in the world can surpass him!”
"That's right. He can even invent the art of making paper and use it to compete with the aristocratic families. He's really unparalleled in the world!”
Fang Xuanling nodded silently.
"If I had exposed my identity from the start and welcomed him back to the Imperial Palace, the Great Tang would probably be different now!”
Li Shi Min sighed.
"Your Majesty, it's not too late to turn back now. The Second Prince's plan has not been fully executed. Right now, it's just going to the Buddhist Sect. As long as the Second Prince helps you, it's easy to deal with the Buddhist Sect!”
Du Ruhui looked at Li Shiming seriously and said.
"That's right, Your Majesty. Why don't we expose our identities now and explain it clearly to the Second Prince?”Fang Xuanling had a look of agreement. He was already powerless to resist Li Chufeng. The Second Prince was simply a monster. He had a set of schemes and there was simply no way to resist!
"No!" Li Shi Min's eyes flashed with determination as he shouted in a low voice,"If I reveal my identity, it would be equivalent to surrendering to Feng 'er, proving that he can indeed succeed in his rebellion. Then, how should I treat him when he comes back? Or make him the Crown Prince?"
Li Shimin's question left Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling speechless. They suddenly realized that surrendering was not a good idea!
According to Li Chufeng's intelligence, after surrendering, many of the Great Tang's affairs would need him to handle!
What kind of status would he give the Second Prince then? He couldn't really abdicate to him. As for the position of Crown Prince, it was even more impossible. Since ancient times, seniority had always been in order. Although Li Shiming had rebelled and seized the throne, he still hoped that his son would be based on seniority!
Moreover, Crown Prince Li Chengqian was still very obedient and conscientious! There was no reason to take him down!
But if he didn't give Li Chufeng a suitable position, then with his abilities, he would be exposing his identity for nothing if he secretly dealt with the Great Tang!
Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling began to think carefully.
After Jiu Liang left, the two of them shook their heads helplessly. It was indeed as Li Shiming had said, it was a little too late to expose their identities now!
"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"
The two of them raised their heads, not knowing what Li Shiming meant. Was he really going to accompany the Second Prince in his rebellion?
Li Shiming's eyes flashed with a vicious light, and his entire body emitted the domineering aura of an emperor as he spoke indifferently.
"I don't believe that I will lose to my own son!”
