Dangdangdangdangdang~

The sound of bells and drums in the morning came from Ziwei City, Luoyang.

The sound came into a large mansion in Shanglinfang.

Nie Su rubbed his eyes and was awakened by the sound of drums.

I looked at the sky outside the window.

A ray of light from the sky was pouring on the bed, shining on the fingertips.

I don't remember when I fell asleep last night.

By the way, brother.

She turned around and looked at it, and there was no sign of Su Dawei, and she remembered that Su Dawei had already gone to court.

I wonder if the emperor would blame Brother Baima Temple for the incident, but he was still a little worried.

By the way, what did you say last night?

People asked him how to deal with it, but he was a secret master of his ancestors and...

Nie Su frowned slightly and tried hard to think about it.

Finally remembered that when she was about to fall asleep, Su Dawei said to her ear that there was a guy named Wang Yangming who was thinking about Zhu Shengren's philosophy of life, but on the day of his marriage, he couldn't think about his sister.

Thinking about life, what does it have to do with Qi Jie?

Nie Su's little head was tilted, a little cute.

I always feel that I was taken a deviant by my brother.

It's not like listening to the jokes he said.

Alas, I'm so worried that my brother will be scolded when he goes to court today.

She tilted her head and saw Xiaoyu standing up on the windowsill, arching her back and screaming.

...

Li Zhi had a gloomy face and walked into the inner hall.

Wu Meiniang beside her also looked a little bad.

The two heard the news last night and still couldn't believe it was true.

Until this morning court, the memorial to impeach Su Dawei was like snowflakes.

This is why I have to accept this fact.

Su Dawei really killed someone in White Horse Temple last night.

No matter how much reason is, killing someone to pay for his life is Tang Ru.

But is Li Zhi willing to kill Su Dawei?

Now the veterans of the Taizong Dynasty have long since withered, and Su Dawei is a famous general he has worked hard to cultivate over the past decade.

It was "feeded" through one war after another.

If you just push it to the monks for revenge, it would be a waste of effort.

He also wanted to leave Su Dawei to Li Hong.

But after causing such a big disaster, you have to express yourself, otherwise how can you convince the public?

How to block the mouths of civil and military officials at the forefront?

Block the world's discussions.

For this incident, Li Zhi's original good mood was shattered.

I didn't have a good face all morning, and my face was gloomy and terrible.

What made him most uncomfortable was that in the morning court just now, Su Dawei, the protagonist of the incident, was as stable as an old dog throughout the whole process.

Do not argue or speak, as if all officials impeach others.

"Can't you let me save some fun?"

Li Zhi was secretly angry.

I wondered if I had too much favor with Su Dawei a while ago.

However, Su Dawei has done several things in recent times to make him feel comfortable.

Whether it is to destroy Tubo, curb the epidemic in Shu, pass on the epidemic prevention method, or composting method, every item is touched by Li Zhi's heart.

This is a talent, it must be used well.

You can't just cut off your arms for a few monks, right?

But those monks...

"Sanlang."

Wu Meiniang's voice came from the side: "Is there still a headache about Ami?"

"You know. I'm optimistic about this kid, but he's a little arrogant recently."

Li Zhi rubbed his forehead and murmured to himself: "Maybe it's time to hit it."

"Who said no?"

Wu Meiniang stepped forward, gently held Li Zhi's arm, her eyes circulated, and she sighed: "I have become a monk and I always like Buddhism the most. Ami knows it, but this time, as my sister, I really don't know how to judge him."

"So, do you agree with the knocking?"

Li Zhi looked up and looked at Wu Meiniang.

"Your Majesty will decide everything, and he will come soon. Your Majesty will come..."

As he was speaking, a eunuch came from outside the hall: "The founding county man, Minister of War, Su Dawei arrived."

"pass."

Li Zhi glanced outside the hall and snorted coldly.

After a while, Su Dawei walked into the hall with slow steps.

Well, just as Li Zhi thought just now, Su Dawei's face looked as heavy as an old dog.

When Li Zhi saw his expression, he was angry and sneered: "You are so calm, I don't know when you have become mute."

"Go back to your Majesty."

Su Dawei was neither humble nor arrogant, and bowed to Li Zhi with his hands crossed his hands: "A lower-ranking official led troops all year round. Those who are generals must have thunder in their chest and faces like flat lakes. Mountains of Tai collapsed in front of them, but their complexion did not change."

Li Zhi felt a breath of air rushing upwards in the soles of his feet, and his temples also thumped: "So, are you the ability to lead troops to practice?"

"Well, I don't know much about the affairs in the court. I have to go back and think about it before I understand what everyone is saying."

Su Dawei was frightened: "My nerve reflex arc is longer and his reaction will be slower."

Bang!

Li Zhi swept hard and overturned the ink on the table to the ground, scaring Wu Meiniang.

"Sanlang!"

"Listen, listen, what he said? Is this look of not getting into oil and salt to make me angry?"

Wu Meiniang hurriedly stepped forward to stroking Li Zhi's chest and calmed her breath. At the same time, she glared at Su Dawei fiercely and said sternly: "Ami!"

Su Dawei's expression was more respectful: "I dare not."

Good guy, really good guy.

Li Zhi was about to disappear in one breath, but when he heard that he didn't dare to say anything, he suddenly felt his blood pressure hit the top.

He roared, "Don't dare? What else is there in this world that you, Su Dawei, dared! The abbot of the White Horse Temple was killed by you with one palm, one of the four saints was killed by you, three were destroyed, and dozens of stick monks in the White Horse Temple were killed by you! You dare not?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Wu Meiniang hurriedly shouted: "Don't be so angry."

"Look at this good brother you recognize!"

Li Zhi pointed at Su Dawei, and his fat face turned bloody: "I'm really cruel and ruthless. There are so many monks who can kill them as soon as they say they want. What else can't be done with such cruelty?"

"His Majesty!"

Su Dawei looked up and said hard: "I killed people, but if I do it again, I will kill them, and I will not regret it."

"you……"

Li Zhi's face was about to swell into purple.

The index finger pointed at Su Dawei, feeling that he was about to get up in one breath: "Hello, you are very good... If you don't piss off, you won't give up."

"Su Dawei!"

Wu Meiniang called Su Dawei's name very rarely, and her voice was cold and harsh: "If you make Your Majesty angry, I will definitely not forgive you!"

Su Dawei remained silent.

Seeing Wu Meiniang stroking Li Zhi's chest and pinching his shoulders.

He summoned the eunuchs beside him to give ginseng soup and gave Li Zhi the leopard fetal Yangxin pills prepared by Sun Simiao.

It took a long time to calm down Li Zhi.

Li Zhi's face was still ugly. He sat upright on the big chair. Wu Meiniang stood behind him and continued to press his temples. He coaxed in a low voice: "Sanlang, don't be angry. Ami is too much this time. He must be punished heavily!"

While speaking, he stood behind Li Zhi and looked at Su Dawei.

That look means: You should admit your mistakes and give your Majesty a way out, otherwise my sister will not be able to save you.

"His Majesty."

Su Dawei turned his head toward his face, and Li Zhi, who was somewhat arrogant, lowered his voice and said, "It was wrong for me to take action last night, but... I caught fire in White Horse Temple, and I went to save people.

It would be fine if those monks attacked me without any discrimination, but they even arrested my wife.

I am really hard to swallow this great humiliation…”

Li Zhi's expression was slightly loose.

He had already clearly understood what happened last night.

What he is angry about is that Su Dawei acts too strongly and leaves no room for anything.

It's really hard to deal with if he's stuck in it.

At this time, Su Dawei mentioned protecting his wife.

Li Zhi reached out and patted Wu Meiniang's tenderness and sighed: "I know this. I also feel that you are in order to protect your wife. However, White Horse Temple is an ancient temple for more than 600 years after all, and now it has been destroyed. I don't know how to calm the world's affairs."

In 64 AD, Emperor Ming of Han, Liu Zhuang, dreamed of Jin people at night and sent envoys to the Western Regions to seek Buddhism.

Therefore, for the first time in Chinese history, there was a story about seeking the scriptures of the West.

Three years later, the Han envoy and the eminent monks of India carried Buddhist scriptures on white horses. The Buddha statue returned to Luoyang, and Emperor Ming of Han personally welcomed them.

The following year, a temple was built outside the Xiyong Gate of Luoyang. It was named White Horse Temple in order to remember the merits of carrying the scriptures of the White Horse.

From 64 AD to the first year of Zongzhang in the Tang Dynasty, it was exactly 604.

Su Dawei heard this and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that three hundred years ago, Zhang Fang, the general of Sima Mahjong of the Western Jin Dynasty, attacked Luoyang, burned and killed the enemy and looted, and destroyed the White Horse Temple.

By the end of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Yongxi Rebellion was once again damaged.

At that time, there were only 421 temples in Luoyang. Although White Horse Temple was listed, it was also seriously damaged."

Su Dawei spread his hands and said to Li Zhi who was furious: "Anyway, it's destroyed many times, so why not rebuild it again? What's more, if it weren't for me, the White Horse Temple would have been burned to white ground. After I took action, I would leave half of it for them."

"you……"

Wu Meiniang was stunned when she heard Su Dawei's "eloquence".

You're so angry that you're so angry.

But if you need to look at it carefully, what Su Dawei said is also somewhat reasonable.

"Mei Niang, your younger brother is getting more and more prosperous. It seems that I can't cure him."

"Have your majesty calm down!"

Wu Meiniang's pretty face changed slightly.

But Li Zhi slapped the table suddenly: "Su Dawei, don't think I dare not punish you!"

"I dare not!"

Su Dawei crossed his hands and said, "Thunder, rain and dew are all kindnesses of heaven. I am in a perverse manner. I also ask Your Majesty to remove my position as Minister of War. I beg for bones!"

Beg for your mother!

Are you trying to piss me to death, are you?

Li Zhi's chest was undulating rapidly, and he laughed in anger.

"Okay, okay, I will fulfill you."

"Sanlang!"

Wu Meiniang's face changed drastically.

She finally had a hard time in the court, with Su Dawei's help, how could she watch him be removed from office?

But Li Zhi was furious and even as the queen, he could not easily change Li Zhi's thoughts.

I had to be anxious in secret.

Half of resentment and anger, half of him looked at Su Dawei.

Almost bite the silver teeth.

"Listen, Su Dawei, if you want to resign, I will not let you resign! Without my nod, just stay honestly for me and stay in this position for me to stay there! And..."

Li Zhi took a breath and pointed at Su Dawei and said, "I ordered you to preside over the two Buddhist and Taoist Dharma Assembly for Luoyang in six days, and you must not refuse."

The Luoyang Dharma Assembly is the third debate on both Buddhism and Taoism.

This matter has spread all over the world.

Originally, Li Zhi had a headache and didn’t know who to ask to preside over this Dharma Assembly.

If you can't be a Buddhist or Taoist sect, you may have to find a member of the Li Tang clan.

Otherwise, you are not qualified to suppress.

But this is difficult to do, and it is clearly an offense to both the Buddhist and Taoist sects.

It's not suitable to find anyone.

Now that Su Dawei is so strong and so "steady".

I dare to say that I have "a long reflection arc" and it's very good, that's you.

You will take the blame for me.

You can roast this fire rack for me.

"Your Majesty, I..."

"Also, if the Dharma Assembly is done well, I will give you a pledge to you for your business this time."

Li Zhi gritted his teeth and sneered: "If there is any mistake, the money for rebuilding the White Horse Temple will fall on you."

"ah!"

Su Dawei was shocked.

No matter how Li Zhi punished him, it would be fine, but when it comes to paying money, it would really cost you your life.

How much does it cost to rebuild White Horse Temple?

I'm afraid it's not enough to empty his old Su family?

What's more, he was asked to build a temple for those bald donkeys?

Just two words, dreaming in the daytime!

One thousand refuses, ten thousand refuses.

It would be great if he didn't slaughter the White Horse Temple again.

"What are you doing in a stand-in? Wait until I keep you for dinner? Get out of here!"

Li Zhi picked up a memorial on the table and threw it away.

Su Dawei was busy and frantically stopped, glanced at the faces of Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang, and immediately escaped.

"I'm going to leave!"

"roll!!"

Wait for Su Dawei to withdraw.

Wu Meiniang looked at Li Zhi, but saw that Li Zhizheng also looked at him.

Wu Meiniang let out a "puff" sound, laughing so hard that her branches trembled.

Li Zhi said annoyedly: "Xiaoxiao, you can still laugh. Look at the good things you, brother, did!"

"Sanlang, stop pretending, come on, just smile."

Wu Meiniang made a soft voice, holding Li Zhi's round face in soft hands, and couldn't help laughing: "What's the point of a few monks? I think you're annoyed that Ami caused all officials to impeach? But he was an isolated minister, and impeachment was no big deal. And he just happened to throw this hot potato to Ami, so Sanlang should be happy."

"I'm happy..."

Li Zhi twitched slightly, and his eyes narrowed: "Mei Niang, don't say everything I think."

"Your Majesty, it's time for those monks to beat them. Over the years, I heard that they are in Luoyang..."

"Well, let's see how this defense will happen in a few days."

Li Zhi's voice was a little low, and he suddenly spoke again: "You said why did Su Dawei act so irritable this time? Is it really to save his wife?"

"Sanlang, do you have to doubt this too?"

Wu Meiniang said angrily: "Ami's personality has never changed over the years, and she has been consistent."

"It's consistent? I think it's because of the temper I'm used to, right?"

Li Zhi snorted coldly: "After the long-term control of the army, people's lives will not be taken seriously, and they will kill them if they say they want to kill them."

"Sanlang~"

Wu Meiniang acted coquettishly and said, "Ami is the temper of protecting her baby. She broke into the temple to save you for me. You forgot. He was stupid at that time, but he didn't even give you a face. Look at him now, wouldn't it be the same?"

"this……"

When talking about the past, Li Zhi finally smiled.

"That's true, Ami's character has been straightforward and has no idea how to adapt. Well, I don't care about him any more."

...

"Ami was bullying Lady Liu for a thug named Niu Er, and secretly killed the thug... Thinking of this, his temperament has never changed for so many years."

In the office, Di Renjie, who had just joined the Dali Temple, sighed and looked down at the case file in front of him, feeling a little embarrassed.

In this White Horse Temple, the paper was transferred from Luoyang Order to Dali Temple.

If this is handled according to the law, wouldn’t it be a verdict?

Di Renjie looked at the file in front of him and shook slightly, with a trace of thought flashing in his eyes.

I just came to Dali Temple to Ren Shaoqing, and someone put the case of Baima Temple on his desk. Is this a coincidence or is it someone who wants to give me a warning?

Or is someone trying to throw something tricky to themselves?

His eyes swept across the office. Every official was busy with his own affairs and could not see any abnormality.

He turned his attention back to the file in front of him, and knew that in the court today, he had launched impeachment from all officials for Su Dawei's affairs.

The target of this is naturally the case of Su Dawei killing a monk from White Horse Temple.

However, during the morning court, Li Zhi did not make any statement.

Not expressing one's opinion is also an attitude.

Thinking of this, Di Renjie picked up his pen and wrote a few strokes on the file, and turned it into the left prime minister.

Sorry, Lord Yan, this ball still needs to be kicked to you.

Such a case is really hard to decide.

It also exceeds the scope that Dali Temple can cut off.

After all, whether it is private or public, it depends on Li Zhi's meaning in the end.

Before I put down the brush, I suddenly realized that the bustling Dali Temple Office seemed to have calmed down suddenly.

Looking up, I found that there was another person in front of me.

It was Su Dawei who was wearing an official robe.

He is tall and wears the official body of the Minister of War, and has a strong demeanor.

It's like a mountain.

Just standing there, all the officials in the office of Dali Temple were quiet.

Countless eyes were gathered on Su Dawei, and everyone forgot to speak for a moment.

"Ami, why are you here?"

Di Renjie said first, patted his waist, which had become much wider, and suddenly realized that he closed the file in front of him.

According to Tang Law, irrelevant people are not allowed to contact the case files, let alone the parties involved.

It's not that he is unkind, but that the law is like this.

Although Di Renjie values ​​friendship, he is more abiding by the Tang Dynasty.

"I'm here to find you, brother."

"Look for me?"

Di Renjie frowned: "The case in Baima Temple must follow the rules and procedures, and I can't decide here, so I'm going to leave it to Zuo Xiang to decide."

Leave it to the left prime minister, in fact, it is to His Majesty.

Everyone kicked this ball around, and obviously no one was willing to take the blame.

No one can bear the Luoyang Order, the Ministry of Justice, and the Dali Temple.

"It's not this..."

Su Dawei waved his hand and said, "I want to ask about the two Buddhist Dharma Assembly in a few days."

"You ask this?"

Di Renjie was very surprised.

He had just arrived in Dali Temple for a while, but he also heard some rumors.

Dali Temple has come into contact with many things, and even if it doesn't want to hear them, it will reach his ears.

"Your Majesty issued an order. In a few days, each of the Buddhist and Taoist sects will select the monk Gao Dao, and the defense of the square in front of Ziwei City will determine the level of the matter."

The thick black brow frowned slightly, and Di Renjie reached out to stroke his short beard: "Ami, what are you asking about this?"

He actually wanted to ask, aren’t you at home now and wait for the limelight of White Horse Temple to pass?

How come I came to Dali Temple again.

As if seeing Di Renjie's doubts, Su Dawei said: "This matter has something to do with me, right..."

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly heard a burst of rapid footsteps coming from behind.

The two turned to look.

I saw a tall and strong middle-aged official wearing a Dali Temple official robe and a jade belt. He hurried towards him with more than a dozen servants.

The visitor was Hao Shaochang, the minister of Dali Temple.

Since Li Siwen was transferred to the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple has undergone several blood changes in recent years.

The newest person now is Hao Shaochang, a Jinshi during the Yonghui period.

This person is from a poor family and has no friendship with various families in Chang'an.

He has always been known for his strict judgment of cases and has been deeply trusted by Li Zhi.

"Hao Siqing."

Before the person arrived, Su Dawei took the initiative to hold his fists and say hello to the other party.

Logically speaking, the Tang Dynasty had a system of three provinces, six ministries and ten temples. Su Dawei's Ministry of War was still above the Dali Temple.

However, he is humble and goes to other people's territory again, and taking the initiative to say hello is a good move.

But Hao Shaochang didn't seem to accept this favor.

His face was as deep as water, he nodded slightly and said coldly: "I don't know if Secretary Su is here, what can I tell you?"

"Oh, I have something to ask Di Shaoqing for advice."

Hao Shaochang's cold expression was deep and he had already walked up under the guard of the officers. He said with a slight hostility on his body: "Shangshu Su, each yamen has its own rules."

No matter how slow Su Dawei was, he could see that Hao Shaochang had bad intentions towards him.

"What does Hao Siqing mean?"

"Shangshu Su, you are involved in the case of White Horse Temple last night. Your Majesty sent the case back to Dali Temple for trial..."

Hao Shaochang crossed his hands towards Ziwei City and said, "Since I have been entrusted by the saint and held the Daping Temple, I have to report to the public to handle the case. I also ask Shangshu Su not to make us embarrassed."

You're kind to say.

But there was a hidden threat in his tone.

Su Dawei smiled.

"Hao Siqing, we should have no grudges before?"

"No grudge or resentment."

"What, can't I come to Dali Temple?"

"cannot."

Hao Shaochang waved his sleeves and said sideways: "Since the case of Baima Temple, Di Renjie is now investigating this case. In order to avoid suspicion, he also asked Shangshu Su to leave and not to make things difficult for Dali Temple."

"I don't understand what Hao Siqing said."

Su Dawei was still smiling, but there was already a little anger in his smile.

In those years, he had been enduring or leading troops outside to fight.

Until now, he returned to the center and was the Duke of Kaiguo County, the Minister of War, and the Second-rank of Yiren.

When it reaches this point, there is no need to be afraid of anyone.

As long as it is not a serious crime of corruption, even Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang will give him some face.

But Hao Shaochang really took the wrong medicine?

I haven't offended you again.

Besides, I came to look for my brother Di. Who are you? You jumped out and pointed at me?

Su Dawei's voice became cold, and the coldness was bone-broken: "Your Majesty has not convicted me. I can go to and from the palace and go, let alone your little Dali Temple? Why, is it that Dali Temple does not welcome me? Or is it that you Hao Siqing, who has no prejudice against me?"

"you……"

Hao Shaochang's face changed.

The servants behind him all spoke, "Shangshu Su, please don't make things difficult for us minor officials."

"Super Su, please go back first! Everyone has to look bad on their faces."

"This is Dali Temple, not Baima Temple, the county magistrate."

Su Dawei looked at Hao Shaochang deeply with his eyes, as if he wanted to see his bones clearly.

He sneered slightly: "Okay, this is Dali Temple. I will give Brother Di face and I won't bother with you."

"Su Shangshu is indeed very powerful."

Hao Shaochang seemed to have no idea that the anger in Su Dawei's eyes were seen, and he sarcastically said: "No wonder he was able to start a massacre in White Horse Temple last night. Even the minister of this temple, Su Dawei, not to mention the monks in White Horse Temple."

"Minister!"

Di Renjie kept enduring it by the side.

Until now, he couldn't help but stand up and bowed to Hao Shaochang: "The founding county duke said it well. The imperial court has not convicted for a day. The county duke is still a county duke. I am a famous general of the Tang Dynasty. Why should the temple minister repeatedly provoke?"

Hao Shaochang was quite patient with Su Dawei. When he heard Di Renjie's words, he was immediately annoyed, his face was so gloomy that it seemed like water was about to drip into it.

Her slender eyes were poured on Di Renjie: "Shaoqing, I know you have an old age with the Su County Public, but now you are trying the case of Baima Temple, but now you are talking to the county public. Haha, I remind Shaoqing not to betray the law for personal gain."

"This temple minister doesn't need to talk much."

Di Renjie shook his sleeves hard: "I will report to you."

"The Holy Monk of the Empty of White Horse Temple is here~"

Outside the hall, a sudden sound of the officers' communication came from the police.

Empty?

Is that old monk with a black face?

Su Dawei suddenly remembered that the monk Linye released the black ten thousand characters in his hand, which had the meaning of true emptiness and silence, and had some magical powers.

However, he had already taken action to abolish his cultivation last night. The old thief was not in the temple. What did he do when he ran to Dali Temple?

Su Dawei also noticed sensitively that Hao Shaochang, the minister of Dali Temple, had a subtle change on his face.
Chapter completed!
