Eight hundred and twentieth seventh chapter articulate

"See Your Majesty!" Li Xiu and his group entered Liangyi Hall and immediately saluted Li Shimin, who was sitting behind the Dragon Case. In addition, Li Xiu discovered that not only Wei Zheng and several censors were here, but also Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling, and even Du Ruhui, who had just recovered from a serious illness, was here. He should have died long ago in history, but because of Li Xiu's intervention, Du Ruhui's condition was treated in advance. He began to re-elect the position of prime minister two years ago and became Li Shimin's right-hand man with Fang Xuanling.

"There is no need to be too polite to be a prince consort and respectful virtue, look at the seat!" Li Shimin also smiled at this time. Liangyi Hall was a place for him to discuss matters with important ministers, so he was relatively free. For example, now Li Shimin is wearing a regular dress, and Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and others are also sitting on both sides to drink tea. This situation does not seem to be discussing matters by the monarch and ministers, but rather like a group of friends gathering together to chat.

It was not the first time Li Xiu and Yuchi Gong came here, so they were very casual. They stood up and sat down on the empty seats on both sides. The palace maids immediately came forward to serve tea. However, Li Jin and his group of children were not qualified to sit down. They were all standing in the hall. In addition, they were looked at by Li Shimin and others, which made them feel a little helpless. Even though Li Jin had always been bold, they also showed a little nervous look at this time.

"Jin'er, you're causing trouble this time!" After a while, Li Shimin suddenly smiled and said to Li Jin. Although Princess Pingyang avoided him, he was Li Jin's uncle after all, and Li Jin's temperament was very likable, so Li Shimin also took good care of Li Jin and even often reminded Li Chengqian to take Li Jin to the palace to play.

"Uncle, we are really wronged. It is obvious that Lingyan Temple is hurting people first. We couldn't stand it before going to the temple to ask for an explanation. However, we didn't expect that the monks in the temple would drive us out. As a result, we had a conflict with them. In the chaos, somehow ignited the fire, so this matter had nothing to do with us at all!" Li Jin relied on being Li Li Shimin's nephew and immediately shouted for injustice, and also pushed all the responsibility for this matter to the monks in Lingyan Temple.

"At a young age, he is very sensible, and he actually pushed everything. However, even if there are illegal monks in the Inspiration Temple, you should not go to the temple to cause trouble without authorization, but should leave it to the government to deal with it. In addition, there are pilgrims in the temple who saw with their own eyes that it was you who set fire. Especially Li Jin, you actually instructed the guards around you to beat the Lingyin monks in the Inspiration Temple. You can't push this matter off!" As soon as Li Jin finished speaking, Wei Zheng, who had a stern face, immediately retorted that he would not be confused by Li Jin's one-sided words.

"What Doctor Wei said is not bad. Since those pilgrims went to the temple to burn incense, they naturally wanted to the temple, and they must have been inclined to the temple. Therefore, their words cannot be used as testimony. As for the conflict between me and the spiritual seal, it was already in chaos. The monks in the Inspiration Temple bullied us few people and asked the monks in the temple to surround us. Even I, a child under ten years old, did not let go of this. I naturally resisted with my brothers. Could it be that Doctor Wei would see my child being beaten by a group of monks?" Li Jin retorted without showing any weakness at this time, even when facing Wei Zheng, there was no fear at all.

"It turns out that a tiger father has no dog son. Your son is really amazing!" Yuchi Gong, who was sitting next to Li Xiu, saw Li Jin talking, and couldn't help but praise Li Xiu in a low voice. However, he was huge and had a loud voice. His so-called "silent voice" had already been heard by everyone in the hall. As a result, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others also looked at Li Xiu with a smile on their faces.

"The prince-in-law did raise a good son, but just showing off his verbal benefits cannot help you get rid of your sins. Now the monks of Inspiration Temple are outside the palace gate. Do you dare to confront them in person?" Wei Zheng first turned his head and looked at Li Xiu when he heard Yuchi Gong's words, and then said to Li Jin and the others again.

"What's the point? The monks in Lingyan Temple have been evil for many years, but the court has never brought them to justice. This is a dereliction of duty by the court. With these evil monks here, it will only ruin my uncle's reputation. So this time we will also rectify the atmosphere of Chang'an for my uncle!" Li Jin's little mouth was really amazing. At this time, he actually pulled up Li Shimin's banner, and his little face also looked at Qin Huaidao and others next to him with admiration. Although Li Jin was a few years younger than them, if they talked about eloquence, they would not be able to compare with Li Jin.

"What a sharp mouth!" Wei Zheng was also very angry at this time by Li Jin's improper words. After saying that, he stood up and bowed to Li Shimin, "Your Majesty, I ask that the monks from Lingyan Temple be summoned into the hall and let them confront Li Jin and others in person!"

Li Shimin also watched his nephew's performance with interest. He only thought that Li Jin was smarter than other children, but it was not until then that he realized that this kid's eloquence was not ordinary, and he actually made Wei Zheng very angry. Of course, this was mainly because Wei Zheng could not argue with a child, otherwise his old face would not be able to take it.

"Accurate!" Li Shimin nodded immediately about Wei Zheng's request. He wanted to see how Li Jin would deal with it next. In addition, Li Xiu had not spoken after coming in, and probably wanted to test his son's ability.

Shortly after the imperial edict was issued, there was a loud sound of footsteps outside the hall. Then five monks were brought in. The leader was an old monk with a white beard, and four monks younger than him were followed by him. However, they looked fifty or sixty years old. One of them had a bruised face and a few big bags on his forehead. This guy was the spiritual seal that encouraged Yang to send Wu Mingkong into the palace. The wound on his face was naturally also the hand of Li Jin.

"Amitabha, I will be Lingkong, pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor!" After the head of the white-bearded monk entered the hall, he immediately led Lingyin and others to salute Li Shimin. He was the abbot of Lingyan Temple. Although he looked kind and kind, the old monk's heart was darker than anyone else, otherwise Lingyan Temple would not have developed to this scale.

"Master Lingkong doesn't have to be too polite. You sued someone for burning your Buddhist temple. I wonder how many of them?" Li Shimin asked at the end of the day, and Li Jin and others standing in the hall.

"Yes, they were just them. Yesterday, for some reason, they rushed into our Inspiration Temple and beat people as soon as they saw them. They set fire to the hall in front, and even the golden body of my Buddha was burned. Please ask Your Majesty to uphold justice for my Buddha!" ​​Lingkong and others glanced at Li Jin and others, and nodded immediately.
