Seeing that Li Shimin had a bad look, Li Chengqian knew that he would not show weakness at this time, so he stood up and limped off the throne, bowed to Li Shimin calmly and said, "I told my father that these monks were in trouble with the country and the people, which caused heavenly punishment. This morning, tens of thousands of people from Chang'an City went to the gate of the East Palace to ask their sons to order the punishment of the demon monks. The sons ordered them to go to Longshouyuan to be a hard laborer, and the people also took hoes to help the court drive these monks to Longshouyuan."

After Li Chengqian said that, the quiet needles in the hall were heard, and even the ministers of the East Palace did not know how to speak for Li Chengqian.

Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian as if this was a trivial matter and wanted to beat him to death immediately. After a while, Li Shimin suppressed his anger and gritted his teeth and said, "Why don't you ask me for an order in advance?

Do you know that Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty was killed by the Zhongchang Secretariat after destroying the Buddha, and Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty died of illness in his youth because of destroying the Buddha?"

Li Chengqian said innocently: "Didn't your father, the emperor, the son, and the ministers have destroyed the Buddha?"

Seeing that Li Chengqian refused to admit his conviction, Li Shimin was so angry that he raised his foot and kicked the case in front of him, and roared loudly: "What are you doing?"

Seeing Li Shimin moving, all the officials in the hall were so scared that they took a few steps back and looked at Li Chengqian, who was still standing in the center of the hall in horror.

Li Chengqian was also shocked when he saw this, gritted his teeth and insisted not to retreat, and said with a relaxed smile: "Father, please calm down, but the son minister just follows the will of the heavenly heart and the public to punish the Buddhist monks and destroy the Buddhist monks."

"Tianxin public opinion? Tianxin public opinion..." Li Shimin murmured these four words, staring at Li Chengqian with red eyes, as if he wanted to see clearly what purpose was hidden behind his move.

Li Chengqian smiled faintly and raised his voice and continued: "And the death of Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty was not because of the destruction of Buddha, but because Emperor Taiwu killed too many times. Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty died young and destiny was also the destiny of heaven. It was still impossible to destroy a few Buddhas.

Father, why do you have to protect a few demon monks who have caused trouble to the country?”

"Your Highness the Crown Prince..." Master Yang opened his mouth and said nothing in the end.

Li Shimin's chest was undulating and gasping, staring at Li Chengqian for a long time, and said in a cold voice: "How did they harm the country and the people?"

Seeing Li Shimin's reluctance to forgive, Li Chengqian felt a little angry, and paused the crutch in his hand and said loudly: "In front of his father, a demon monk Yuance spread rumors in Chang'an City that the cultivation of the Dragon Shouyuan will cause the dragon to turn over in Chang'an City, which will cause panic in Chang'an City and almost cause a disaster."

When Li Shimin saw Li Chengqian slamming so unrestrainedly in front of him, he snorted and turned his face to the side. He then slowly turned his face to the side when he heard this.

After saying the above words, Li Chengqian paused and turned around and looked at the officials behind him, and then said, "The monk was so chaotic, no one came forward to control the officials in Chang'an. In the end, even the sky could not stand it and lowered the punishment of heaven. Thunder struck the Great Hall of Daxingshan Temple. The minister followed the will of heaven and ordered that Yuance and all the demon monks from Daxingshan Temple be taken to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation.

Did the father think that the son minister did this wrong?"

Li Shimin said with a dark face when he saw the question: "I won't ask you about arresting the monk Yuanchao."

Li Shimin's face and eyes were so good that he could eat people, but he could not say in the Tai Chi Hall that Li Chengqian had a wrong handling of Yuanchai. After all, Yuanchai's monk had a good idea to kill him, and Li Chengqian also followed the will of heaven.

Li Chengqian bowed to the upper hand and said, "Father may not know that yesterday, all the monks in the temples in Chang'an City disrespect the laws of heaven and did not obey the laws of the country, and even came out in full swing, spread rumors and confusing the public, and made ill-intentioned plans, pointing the finger at the Eastern Palace and the sons' ministers. So they were also thundered by the sky last night.

Even the people of Chang'an couldn't stand these demon monks' actions. This morning, tens of thousands of people gathered in front of the East Palace gate with hoes and iron mills to ask their sons to kill the demon monks.

It was my son who thought that God had a good life and could not bear to see blood flowing into a river, so he ordered that only these demon monks be driven to Longshouyuan as a courier."

Li Chengqian's words were filled with emotion, and everyone in the hall nodded secretly. After all, most of the Confucian scholars were still there in the hall at this time.

But Li Shimin still said calmly: "Since the people of Chang'an hate the evil monks who harm the country and the people, why don't they go to the government and not beat the drum to see me?"

Li Chengqian instantly smelled a sour smell, and the ministers in the hall looked at Li Shimin in surprise. How did he say this?

Such a thing will definitely be dead when happening to others, but Li Chengqian is the crown prince and should win the hearts of the people. How can His Majesty be jealous of his son?

The reason is this, but Li Shimin had a gloomy face, and Li Chengqian had to answer him, otherwise he would be disrespectful.

"Report to my father, I don't know why the people went to the Eastern Palace to ask for the ministers, but since tens of thousands of people come to ask for the ministers, you can't ignore it, right?

Besides, the people went to the East Palace to ask for their sons. Is it different from coming to the Tai Chi Palace to ask for their father?”

As he said that, Li Shimin answered, Li Chengqian turned around and looked at the ministers in the hall and said, "What do you think of your family?"

"you!"

After Li Chengqian asked a few questions in a row, Li Shimin's face turned into a pig's liver. He stared at him and couldn't speak, because Li Chengqian's last sentence pointed out his identity as the crown prince.

Anyone except Li Chengqian dared to say this, Li Shimin could kill him, but there was no problem with Li Chengqian saying this, because he was the successor to the throne and he could win the hearts of the people.

Seeing this scene, the ministers in the hall were all worried but did not dare to speak. They were really afraid of the two of them. Li Shimin was a hero who would win the world immediately, and there was no need to say that he would kill and make a decision.

Although Li Chengqian was lame, his methods and tricks were not weaker than Li Shimin's destiny. At this time, he would get himself in if he could not speak properly.

"Your Highness of the Crown Prince" Ma Zhou saw that Li Shimin's face was really ugly, and couldn't help but remind him.

Seeing that it was almost done, Li Chengqian solemnly bowed to Li Shimin again and said, "It's just a few thousand monks, my father doesn't have to be angry about these trivial matters." Li Shimin knew that Li Chengqian was right, and could not find out his fault at this moment, so he snorted coldly and dropped his face to the side to express his ignoring the matter.

This scene almost made the ministers below look out. Although Li Shimin claimed to be good at accepting advice, only Wei Zheng, who had passed away, dared to argue for advice to the end. Many times he could make him surrender. Li Chengqian did it too today.

The big-faced minister saw that Li Chengqian's eyes had changed completely, and he was thinking that he would not be distracted from the future and be loyal to His Majesty and the Crown Prince. Anyway, His Majesty would not be able to depose the Crown Prince.

Seeing that Li Shimin lost his face and let this go, Li Chengqian continued, "There is a major event related to the country's fortune and people's livelihood here. He said that, and took out a memorial.

Li Shimin glanced at him with his eyes and said, "You said." He was about to go forward to pick up Li Chengqian's memorial and waited for him to return to his original position after hearing this.

"I heard from my father that there is a memorial from the young supervisor Yan Lide here, and I request that the people in Guanzhong be reduced to 30%..."

Without waiting for Li Chengqian to finish his words, Li Shimin said in a singular voice: "The court has always only collected 1.5% of the tenancy, so how can it be reduced to 3.1%?"

Li Chengqian hurriedly explained: "What the father said was that the imperial court's official land was only collected by half, but the tenant rent of private tenants had already received 60% of the rent."

"What?" Li Shimin was also shocked and couldn't help but sit upright and look at Li Chengqian and others to explain clearly.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian raised the memorial again, and the eunuch hurriedly accepted it and presented it to Li Shimin.

Li Chengqian continued: "Qi Zuo, because the population of Guanzhong has become increasingly dense and small in recent years, many gentry have increased their tenant rent to 50% or more.

For example, last year, the right son Yu Zhining's family received 65% of the fields, which is also the reason why there were so many victims when they encountered snow disasters last year..."

After Li Chengqian said that, Yan Lide and Yu Zhining, who were in the hall, both of them turned gray and white.

While listening to Li Chengqian's words, Li Shimin quickly looked through the memorial handed by Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian had added a lot of detailed data to Yan Lide's original memorial.

After a while, Li Shimin finished reading the memorial and looked up at Li Chengqian and said, "All the memorials are true?"

Li Chengqian said seriously: "Every sentence is true!"

When Li Shimin heard this, he looked at Yu Zhining, who wanted to eat people. Yu Zhining was frightened and looked deserted and slowly collapsed on the ground.

The Guanzhong gentry in the hall was thinking about how to deal with it quickly.
