Everyone took a breath of air conditioning as soon as they saw it clearly.

OK, so that's the case.

At this time, Li Shimin naturally understood that he had been fooled, but when he looked at Li Chengqian with aura, he seemed to be mocking him and said angrily: "Wan Che will take a look."

Xue Wanche felt itchy when he saw Cheng Wuting breaking a large piece of charcoal with one hand. Hearing this, he immediately walked to the cauldron and bent down to take out a piece of charcoal. With both hands and force, a lot of slag fell off the edge of the charcoal, but the main part of the charcoal was still intact.

Xue Wanche's face immediately turned red. He stomped his feet and exerted force again. Finally, he broke the carbide in his hand in half. He looked down and saw that there was still a black and dirty carbide in the ground. Where was the shadow of gold?

He looked up at Li Chengqian in confusion, and Li Shimin and others looked at Li Chengqian suspiciously when they saw this.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian smiled faintly and said, "These bald donkeys are very thieves. There are only a few pieces of charcoal that have moved their hands and feet and put gold in them."

As he said that, he pointed to the cauldron and said, "Populate all the charcoal inside and tell you what kind of gold is inside."

When Xue Wanche heard this, he bent down and grabbed the legs of the cauldron, widened his eyes and shouted loudly, then lifted the two or three hundred kilograms of cauldron above his head, then leaned towards the open space next to him, and all the carbide inside fell to the ground.

Finally, he shouted again and threw the cauldron into the open space where there was no one on the side. The cauldron was thrown by him more than a meter away, and then he pinched his waist with both hands and looked at Cheng Wuting proudly.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian touched Cheng Wuting with a crutch and said, "Go and pick up the gold on the ground."

Everyone was shocked by Xue Wanche's infinite power just now and forgot about it. When they looked down, they looked a little yellow in the carbonite pile, and somehow they were exposed.

Li Chengqian lifted his crutch and walked towards Li Shimin while saying to everyone: "This is just a trick. They smashed the charcoal and then kneaded it into pieces with the mud and wrapped some gold in it. When the mud was dried and placed in the carbide pile, most people couldn't tell that they were all charcoal picked from the mountains.

Seeing that they burned gold from the charcoal, everyone in the room mistakenly thought it was a magical technique."

Li Shimin was so angry that his face turned pale and glared at Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu was so scared that he was so scared that he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty is also fooled by these monks."

The prince-in-law Xiao Rui also hurriedly knelt behind Xiao Yu.

Li Shimin stared at Xiao Yu tightly, his chest sank and thought about how to punish him.

Li Chengqian said lightly: "Did you give them these golds to Mr. Xiao?"

"The old minister has no, the old minister has no!" Xiao Yu hurriedly explained. If he admits this, it will become a conspiracy to deceive the emperor.

Li Chengqian turned his head to look at Xuanzang again, and Xuanzang closed his hands calmly and said, "I don't know either."

Li Chengqian nodded and murmured after hearing this, "It seems that the monks in Famen Temple have hidden a lot of gold!"

"The Duke of Song State Xiao Yu did not know the general, believed in Buddhists, was ignorant and unclear, and even caused other monks to deceive the emperor in person. It is advisable to stay away from the court and be a Xiaomu. He was given the title and be appointed as the governor of Shangzhou. The remaining monks were dealt with by the crown prince Chengqian." Li Shimin held back for a long time and finally punished Xiao Yu, which was to demote all his official positions to become the governor of Shangzhou.

The dozens of relatives and relatives who were invited today who had a good relationship with Xiao Yu were not there to say a word for Xiao Yu.

Li Chengqian looked around and sighed and bowed to Li Shimin and said, "Why is Father Xiao Yu guilty of the people of Shangzhou?"

My father wants to send him to harm him?"

Xiao Yu, who was kneeling on the ground, listened to Li Shimin's words and looked as if he was ashamed. After a long time, he realized that he should thank him.

But suddenly he heard Li Chengqian say that he was going to be the governor of Shangzhou to harm the people. He was furious and couldn't breathe, and fainted after vomiting blood.

"Father, father, Your Majesty..." Xiao Rui, the son-in-law, knelt on the ground, holding Xiao Yu and crying.

Seeing this, Li Shimin snorted and waved his hand, signaling to take Xiao Yu down.

Then he looked at Li Chengqian and said, "The prince thought what should I do with Xiao Yu?"

Li Chengqian took a deep breath and said, "My merit is merit, and fault is fault. Xiao Yu is over seventy years old and should not participate in the government affairs anymore. He will be demoted to a commoner. He will never be hired and arranged to go to Jiucheng Palace for retirement."

Li Shimin thought about Xiao Yu's vomiting blood and fell to the ground just now, nodded silently and turned around and left.

Seeing Li Shimin leaving, Li Chengqian turned around and looked at Xuanzang and the monk Hongfa with a smile, wanting to hear what they had to say.

When everyone else who came to attend Xiao Yu's banquet saw Li Chengqian's eyes, they followed Li Shimin out with great fear that they would be dealt with by Li Chengqian.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, I was also deceived by these monks. I beg you to be kind to you..." The monk Hongfa kowtowed to Li Chengqian while saying this.

Li Chengqian didn't even look at him, sat down on the arhat couch that Liu Kui brought to him, and asked Xuanzang with a faint smile on his face, "Xuanzang is this the Dharma you believe in?"

Xuanzang looked calm, sat cross-legged without saying a word, then folded his hands together and began to chant the scriptures silently.

Li Chengqian sneered, knowing that Xuanzang was pretending to be dead, of course he could also be a little more experienced.

"Since you have not returned to the Tang Dynasty, you have reported that you have retrieved Buddhist Mahayana scriptures from the Lanketuo Temple in Tianzhu. It turns out that they are these techniques of fooling the people!" Li Chengqian said this and saw that Xuanzang was still chanting the scriptures on his own.

Then he continued, "In the eyes of the Lone King, you don't need to translate the scriptures you have gotten back, you can just burn them to clean them."

Xuanzang suddenly opened his eyes when he heard this. Seeing Li Chengqian's smile on his face, he slowly closed his eyes and said slowly: "Your Highness the Prince knows that today's affairs have nothing to do with those scriptures, why do you have to destroy them?"

"Haha!" Li Chengqian didn't expect Xuanzang to have such a strong psychological endurance. It seemed that it was impossible to conquer him with words.

"Wang Fangyi brought the Buddha bones you brought back from Famen Temple to show you whether it is true or false."

Famen Temple hides a relic that is said to be a bone-formed by the fingers of Sakyamuni Buddha. In history, when Emperor Wuzong of Tang Dynasty destroyed the Buddha, he issued an order to destroy the Buddha's bones in Famen Temple. At that time, the monks in Famen Temple only destroyed a piece of fake Buddha's bones.

In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the court held a Buddhist welcome to the temple every few decades, which was to welcome the Buddha bones from Famen Temple to Chang'an City. Every time, the Buddha bones were welcomed, it cost a lot.

Han Yu was demoted to Chaozhou by Emperor Xianzong of Tang because he wrote a letter to advise him to welcome the Buddha's bones. There was a poem that said, "A letter was reported to the nine heavens and was demoted to Chaozhou at night."

Li Chengqian had previously sent Wang Fangyi to Famen Temple to tell the monks left behind in Famen Temple to use Buddha bones to show their supernatural powers and rescue the monks in Chang'an City, so he tricked the Buddhist bones into Chang'an.

When the monk Hongfa heard that Li Chengqian had someone to take the Buddha bones from the Famen Temple, he didn't know what Li Chengqian was going to do, so he hurriedly climbed in front of Li Chengqian and said, "Your Highness, what are you going to do?"

Li Chengqian ignored him, Wang Fangyi took out the Buddha bone from the box and handed it to the Dharma and said, "Monk, look at whether this Buddha bone is true or false."

He hurriedly took the Dharma carefully, then looked carefully at the torch, nodded for a while and said, "It's true!" As he said that, he was about to put it in his arms.

Wang Fangyi had quick eyes and quick hands, and then he reached out and snatched it back from the monk Chaofa.

Li Chengqian looked at all this and said expressionlessly: "It's smashed!"

Upon hearing this, the monk Hongfa said loudly, "Your Highness, you must not!"

Wang Fangyi also looked at Li Chengqian hesitantly and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince..."

Li Chengqian ignored all this and said directly: "I'm going to support you!"

"Abide by the order!" Cheng Wuting snatched the Buddha's bone from Wang Fangyi's hand without saying a word, turned around and walked out two steps, placed the Buddha's bone on the bluestone slab, and then clamped a newly laid bluestone slab on the ground like a hook, lifted it high and smashed it on the Buddha's bone.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, please be kind..." The monk Hongfa was already crying. Although he used some treacherous skills, he was able to come from Famen Temple to Chang'an to rescue the monk who was imprisoned by Li Chengqian in Longshouyuan. His character was actually not very bad.

Li Chengqian was still unmoved and glanced at Cheng Wuting and said, "Smash!"

"Slow!" At some point Xuanzang had already gotten up and came to Cheng Wuting to hug Cheng Wuting's arm and prevent him from smashing it down.

Li Chengqian looked at Xuanzang with a blank expression and said, "Do you think you can stop him?"

Today, the Lone King smashed this Buddha bone, and tomorrow morning, His Majesty will issue an order to destroy the Buddha."

Xuanzang knew that Li Chengqian was telling the truth. The Buddha bones of Famen Temple were very important to Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty. If they were destroyed by Li Chengqian, all Buddhists in the world would definitely be enemies of Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian's character must first take action.

It was just now that Buddhism had created a farce of "turning stones into gold" here, which was equivalent to giving Li Chengqian a knife.

Xuanzang was well-versed in Confucian classics and understood that Li Chengqian's sentence "Spring, the Lord will watch fish like a crabapple." He asked not only Xiao Yu but also all the Confucians in the court. If all the ministers in the court submitted memorials to advise Li Shimin not to watch the farce of "turning stones into gold", then the outcome of Buddhism can be imagined.

Xuanzang lowered his head and silently kicked the Buddha bones that opened on the ground with his feet, loosened Cheng Wuting, clasped his hands together and bowed to Li Chengqian, "I am willing to serve His Highness the Prince, and I would like to ask His Highness the Prince to give me instructions."
