The Jing River Dragon King told him the plan of the Buddhist Sect in detail.
The ministers listened to the words of the Jing River Dragon King with their mouths agape.
He couldn't believe his ears.
How could the Buddhist Sect do such a crazy thing?
Li Shimin stared at Wei Zheng and the Jing River Dragon King with his mouth agape.
He did not understand why the Buddhist Sect would set up such an elaborate scam against him.
Furious, he pointed at Wei Zheng and shouted,
"You actually colluded with the Buddhist Sect and wanted to murder me! What crime do you deserve?"
Wei Zheng heard Li Shimin's reprimand.
For a moment, he did not know what to say.
He sighed.
One wrong step meant more mistakes.
It was a good plan.
Why did something go wrong?
He bowed to Li Shi Min and said,
"Your Majesty, actually, your lifespan is almost up. The Buddhist Sect promised me that after the entire plan is completed, they can extend your life for 20 years. That's why I agreed to the Buddhist Sect's plan!”
Li Shi Min couldn't help but widen his eyes.
She looked at Wei Zheng in disbelief.
He hurriedly said,
"Is what you said true? Is my life already over?"
Wei Zheng nodded helplessly.
He stood silently at the side and did not speak anymore.
He was also thinking for His Majesty.
His Majesty would not blame him!
Li Shi Min was a little dispirited.
He slumped on the chair.
He didn't expect that his lifespan was almost up.
How could he display his great talent like this?
Wei Zheng saw that the opportunity was almost there.
He bowed to Li Shi Min and said,
"Your Majesty, as long as you agree to the Buddhist Sect's request, the Buddhist Sect will be able to increase Your Majesty's lifespan. Isn't this a win-win situation?”
Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
As long as he completed the mission given by the Buddhist Sect,
Would he be able to obtain 20 years of lifespan?
This was simply great news for him.
He looked at Li Tai hopefully.
He hoped that Li Tai would agree to the Buddhist Sect's request!
Li Tai looked at Li Shi Min, whose eyes were filled with longing.
The Buddhist Sect was indeed powerful.
He had perfectly grasped Li Shiming's heart.
Even if Li Shiming knew that the Buddhist Sect was tricking him, he would not be able to do so.
He had no choice but to take the bait.
It was indeed an open scheme!
He looked at the ministers who looked like they had lost their parents.
He then looked at Wei Zheng.
Then, he bowed to Li Shi Min and said,
"Father, the Book of Life and Death is a primordial spiritual treasure that existed since the beginning of the Untainted Land. It can't be changed by the world. How can the Buddhist Sect have the ability to change your lifespan at will? It was just the Buddhist Sect's grandstanding to confuse people's eyes!”
Li Shi Min looked at Li Tai hesitantly.
Deep down, she didn't really agree with him.
After all, to a mortal.
The gods and buddhas in the sky must all have powerful magic power.
Wasn't it very easy to change the Life and Death Book?
Why did Li Tai feel that there was no way to change it?
He looked at the other party suspiciously and asked,
"How can I believe your words?”
Li Tai sighed silently in his heart.
"Imperial Father, even if the Buddhist Sect can easily alter the Book of Life and Death, what do you think the Great Tang needs to pay? Also, why are you only given an additional 20 years? Why don't you think about it yourself? Monk Sanzang went to the Western Heaven to get the scriptures. Wasn't it exactly twenty years?”
Li Shi Min's mouth twitched after hearing Li Tai's words.
In fact, he had already believed Li Tai's words from the bottom of his heart.
The Buddhist Sect wanted to add 20 years to his lifespan.
Things were too strange.
He frowned and looked at Li Tai.
He asked softly,
"Then what do you think we should do now?"
Li Tai understood that Li Shi Min had already figured out what was going on.
He said seriously,
"Reporting to Imperial Father, the Buddhist Sect openly schemed against you to achieve their unspeakable conspiracy. We definitely can't let them succeed! The disciples of Buddhism are lazy, do not engage in production, do not accept corvee, the temples hide their population, and the land is not paid taxes or grain. They have become a burden on the Great Tang. Your son suggests that the Great Tang ban Buddhism and arrest Monk Sanzang!”
Many people in the Great Tang Imperial Court had already seen the drawbacks of Buddhism.
After all, Buddhism could not produce value, but it would consume wealth without limit.
Wei Zheng and Yin Kaishan tried their best to stop him.
However, Li Tai retorted.
"Isn't Minister Wei an official of the Great Tang? Prime Minister Yin is so protective of Tang Sanzang, is it because he is your nephew?”
Wei Zheng still wanted to persuade him, but he saw Li Tai's sharp gaze.
He could only swallow his saliva.
He did not dare to say anything.
Li Tai saw that Wei Zheng was silent.
He couldn't help but laugh coldly in his heart.
Wei Zheng was a capricious person.
From Li Mi to Li Jiancheng.
Finally, he followed Li Shimin.
Now, it seemed that the Buddhist Sect was about to rise.
He began to look for a new home for himself.
He actually began to arrange his future affairs.
He calmly said to Wei Zheng sternly,
"You colluded with the Buddhist Sect and plotted against the emperor. What crime do you deserve?”
Wei Zheng was a little terrified.
Now, it was probably time to settle the score.
It seemed that Li Tai did not intend to let him off.
He had not completed the mission given by the Buddhist Sect.
It would probably be difficult to explain.
It was originally a very good thing.
Why did it suddenly become different?
Since Li Tai wanted to deal with him.
It was probably useless for him to say anything else.
"If you want to kill me or cut me up, it's up to you! I will bear all the responsibility for this matter. Your Majesty, please bring disaster to your family!”
Li Tai looked at Wei Zheng's unyielding attitude.
He really didn't expect it.
own
"Since you are willing to die, I have to fulfill your wish. Dragon King of the Jing River, I order you to supervise the execution of officials and Wei Zheng.”
The Jing River Dragon King glanced at Li Tai.
He then looked at Wei Zheng.
He sighed in his heart.
The two of them were like meat on the chopping board now.
They could only wait to be slaughtered.
No matter what Li Tai said.
He could only accept it.
"Xiaolong obeys!"
The Golden Strongman cooperated with the warriors in front of the hall to bring Wei Zheng out of Hanyuan Hall.
The ministers looked at each other.
None of them dared to object.
With the new emperor enthroned, Li Tai and his men naturally had to be rewarded wantonly.
Now that Wei Zheng was dead, the empty seat was naturally coveted by others.
The entire imperial court was not affected by the matter of the Jing River Dragon King.
The entire Great Tang began to move.
The temple's assets were all confiscated.
For a time, the Great Tang had ample finances.
All the Buddha statues that were seized were refined into copper coins.
He began to invest wildly in the Great Tang.
The land was taken back to the imperial court.
To farmers without land.
The monks were all ordered to renounce asceticism.
Monk Sanzang had received the news in advance.
They hid and were not captured.
For a time, the Great Tang flourished.
It was developing in a better direction.
