When Liu Shi saw Ma Zhou suggesting to spread Fu Yi, he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, since he is the lewd monk ordered to be arrested by His Royal Highness, why not invite His Royal Highness to Liangyi Hall to ask clearly."

Li Shimin frowned when he heard this, "The prince is unwell recently, so let him rest assured!"

Li Shimin really doesn't want to see Li Chengqian now. After all, he arranged the matter in Buddhism personally. No matter how sufficient reason he had, secretly plotting against his son would make him feel guilty.

Moreover, Li Shimin felt very bad today. Xiao Yu was devoted to Buddhism and was dissatisfied with Li Chengqian's order to arrest Monk Yuanchao. He was angry and spoke without choice. It is understandable. Gao Jifu always said bluntly that he dared to advise him to impeach Xiao Yu, but Liu Shi's performance today was different from usual. Liu Shi has always been cautious in his life and work, but today he is determined to be an enemy of Buddhism and has a vague intention of supporting Li Chengqian, which made Li Shimin both puzzled and secretly wary.

Just as Li Shimin was worried about the prophecy of the earth dragon turning over, a war between the East Palace and Buddhism in Chang'an City began vigorously.

In addition to those who stayed in the East Palace, the enshrined people who stayed in the East Palace to "The Legend of White Snake", others took to the streets to expose the sins of Buddhism and compiled jokes like "Training the Doll" and said everywhere that "Training the Doll" was a crosstalk that Li Chengqian heard in his previous life, saying that the family had no son to pray to a child in the temple, and then became pregnant, suggesting that the monk's child was pregnant.

Later generations laughed it off after hearing it, but after Li Chengqian's adaptation, the people of the Tang Dynasty were very angry with the monks.

Of course, the monks of the Tang Dynasty were not Zen Buddhism after the self-reform of the Song Dynasty. The monks today are very sensitive to matters in secular society.

As soon as I discovered that not only did the monks from Daxingshan Temple were arrested in the East Palace, but it was also possible to continue to expand the situation but was immediately involved in the war. A large number of monks walked out of the temple and went to various yards to recite scriptures.

Anyone who has a little understanding of Buddhist scriptures knows that many Buddhist scriptures are short stories. Most of these stories are similar in content, which tells the story of how a person has worked hard to become a Buddha. Such stories are easy to understand by those monks and nuns, and are very powerful among the people.

This is also the reason why Buddhism has caused great harm to society and the country in its early days, and has been repeatedly rejected by some knowledgeable people and wise monarchs, and even destroyed Buddhism four times nationwide. However, Buddhism has always been passed down from generation to generation among the people and has developed better and better.

Of course, this time the Buddhist sect kicked on the iron plate. First of all, Daxingshan Temple was hit by lightning. In the Tang Dynasty, your house was thundered. The people must think that it was because you did too many bad things, not to mention that the Eastern Palace was behind the scenes that made the bad things done by the monks in Daxingshan Temple public.

Secondly, Li Chengqian also took the lower-level route, and he has a very high reputation among the people, so the two sides became stalemate from the beginning of the civil competition.

Just when the monk in Zhushi Temple in Chang'an City was panicking, someone was trying hard for him.

Changsun Wuji, who was thinking about his mistakes behind closed doors, was wearing a half-old Taoist robe and was playing chess with an old man under the peach tree in his back garden. This person was either someone else or because he angered Li Chengqian and was dismissed from Li Shimin's job at home.

At this time, both of them were wearing Taoist robes. Taking advantage of the blooming peach blossoms behind them, they all looked like fairy-like from a distance, but they didn't know that they thought they had met a god.

Linghu Defen saw that his black piece on the chessboard had completely died, sighed and threw the chess piece into the box, saying, "Now Chang'an City is in a mess, but it is rare for Lord Changsun to use all his thoughts on this small chessboard!"

When Changsun Wuji heard this, he smiled indifferently and said, "The sage said: If you are not in your position, you will not plan your own affairs. You and I are both people with no official position and are both gentlemen. Why bother with the affairs of the court?"

Linghu Defen knew that Changsun Wuji must not think so, otherwise he would not have invited him to play chess with him.

But when he looked at Changsun Wuji's calm and gentle look, he didn't ask much. He got up and walked under a peach tree to pretend to be enjoying flowers, waiting for Changsun Wuji to say what happened next.

But Changsun Wuji looked up at the flowers without saying a word, as if he was waiting for some news.

After a while, the butler of Changsun Mansion came in. When Changsun Wuji saw the butler, he asked casually: "Have you found out clearly?"

"Yes, master." The housekeeper responded to Changsun Wuji and glanced at the other servants who were serving here at this time and said, "You all retreat!"

Linghu Defen pretended to take his leave after hearing this. Changsun Wuji hurriedly stopped him and said, "Linghu Sheng, you are not an outsider, just sit down and listen!"

Ling'er Defen was not humble and sat down again opposite Changsun Wuji. Seeing this, Changsun Wuji nodded to the butler and signaled him to speak.

"Return to the master, Xiao Tejin said that the crown prince "is such a rebellious act, he wants to go to the 18th level of hell" by Gao Jifu, a minister of the Secretariat, who was impeached by Gao Jifu, a great disrespectful crime. His Majesty has issued an order to submit it to the Ministry for discussion."

"ah!"

Linghu Defen couldn't help but exclaim when he heard this. When Changsun Wuji looked at it, he realized that he had lost his composure and kept silent.

"What did Fu Yi say?"

"The Grand Historian said that there was never a record of thunder before the earth dragon turned over, but this book records that the sound of Taoist priests when they refinished the alchemy and fryed the furnace was similar to that of thunder.

His Majesty thought he was old and said Hu, and he didn't believe it, so he was very worried that the dragon in Chang'an City would turn over..."

Changsun Wuji heard this and said in his heart: It’s rare that Fu Yi didn’t say anything to death this time, so...

Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji sighed, stood up and looked into the distance. After a while, he turned around and looked at Linghu Defen as if he had made up his mind and said, "Mr. Linghu, although you and I are no longer in the court, we are still ministers of the Tang Dynasty. How can we watch the disaster in Chang'an City come?"

Linghu Defen also looked solemn when he heard this, and slowly stood up and walked to Changsun Wuji and said, "Although Lord Changsun said that, Dilong's turn over is still a vain thing after all, but the livelihoods of more than 100,000 people are not easy to arrange."

Changsun Wuji shook his head and said, "The livelihood of more than 100,000 people is important, but it is still unknown if the Earth Dragon turns over and the entire Chang'an City can be preserved. It is worth it to let these 100,000 people suffer some grievances for the entire Chang'an City. Besides, the Earth Dragon turns over and there is any way to crack it. But now the Crown Prince has arrested Monk Yuance, let alone crack it."

Linghu Defen frowned and thought for a long time when he heard this, sucked in the air and said, "If there is a way to crack it..."

"The most urgent task now is to release Monk Yuanze and then find a way." Changsun Wuji pointed him out when he didn't understand.

"Then you have to face the East Palace?" Linghu De understood that Changsun Wuji wanted to use this matter to deal with Li Chengqian. As for the matter of Longshouyuan...

Changsun Wuji saw that he understood the mystery and smiled deeply, nodded and said, "The matter of the court was Yu Shuzi, but this matter was related to the people. The Eastern Palace was very popular. Mr. is a great scholar in Guanzhong. He also asked Mr. to often invite some scholars in Beijing to talk about it. Don't think of what happens at that time."

Linghu Defen completely understood when he heard this. Changsun Wuji was preparing for the deposed prince. It seemed that they were ready for everything...
