Li Shimin withdrew his gaze and looked at the piles of files in front of him!
Li Shimin opened one of the memorials, which contained a reply from a general on the border! The general also sent someone to draw a picture himself. In this picture, dozens of monks mixed into the ranks of the Rong tribe on the border! There were also reports that these people even sold intelligence in order to spread the gospel and provide food and weapons for the foreign cavalry!
Originally, Li Shimin had never cared much about such things. Such a wise and capable emperor cared more about whether Buddhism could help him calm the people's hearts!
But Buddhism is not only not doing well, on the contrary, it is poisoning the people! Now it dares to use magic and sorcery to control the generals and ordinary people of the human race! This undoubtedly shakes the imperial power. If it is allowed to do so... it will definitely be a big problem!
"Prince, killing someone is easy...but solving the subsequent troubles is extremely difficult!"
Li Chengqian received the strongest support from his father! He came to the Ministry of Justice of the Tang Dynasty. As expected, during the interrogation of the Buddha, dozens of ministers came one after another. Li Chengqian had guessed their intentions long ago, but he was still annoyed by dozens of ministers! Without exception, they all came to beg for mercy.
I think it's just like what the evil monk said, he was just excited for a moment and his voice was a little loud! This cultivator is naturally much more powerful than ordinary people, so that's why the general lost his composure.
This made Li Chengqian's mind waver a little. After all, he was not a bloodthirsty person! Moreover, he planned to spread this news in exchange for some benefits!
For example, the remnant spirit of the Dragon King of the Jing River was still worrying about his father! He had troubled Li Shimin in his dreams more than once because of the fact that he was killed by Wei Zheng that day!
If someone came to plead for this Buddha, willing to help his father resolve this pain, he could also give in.
Just as he was waiting, something he could not have imagined happened!
The general who was proven to have lost his composure by being frightened by the Buddha also came to visit!
"Your Highness, I have already resigned from my post! So I am not a general of the Tang Dynasty, and this Buddha is not guilty of death! Please, Your Highness, show some mercy."
Li Chengqian stood up from his chair angrily: "Who asked you to resign? Tell me..."
The general opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word!
At this moment, footsteps were heard from outside the door.
"Of course it was the Buddhas who sealed his mouth. This is called the silencing technique... It is a common method used by the Buddhists in the Three Realms to prevent anyone from leaking secrets! Of course, he couldn't tell who asked him to resign!"
Li Chengqian looked at the Taoist priest and said, "In that case... this Buddha must be killed!"
"It all depends on the prince's opinion. I am just a poor wanderer! How can I tell the prince to do anything? But I think that if you want to kill someone, you should kill them all. If you let this Buddha run away! You will lose face because of this."
Li Chengqian sneered, "What you said is nonsense... This is a Buddha of Buddhism, whose cultivation is at least above the level of a celestial being. I am just a practitioner at the Jindan level! If I were not a mortal prince, he could kill me with just a flick of his hand. Not to mention killing him, stopping him from escaping is just a dream."
Li Chengqian showed resentment on his face and slammed his fist on the table.
This was one of the most difficult things he had ever encountered in his life. He knew that the other party would escape, but there was nothing he could do to stop him. A dignified prince was in such a difficult situation because of a criminal! You can imagine how weak the human race is.
The Taoist smiled gently: "Don't worry, Prince... I think someone can help you!"
"Who?" Li Chengqian suddenly turned his head!
"The Lord of the Pawnshop of Heaven and Earth..." The Taoist pointed to the top of his head: "If you want to see this great man, you must be sincere! So whether this method can be useful depends on how loyal the prince is to the human race and how much he cares about it!"
Li Chengqian's eyes lit up: "Are you sure he can help me kill this Buddha..."
"Of course!" The Taoist smiled. "Prince, you may not know this yet. The spiritual rain that fell in Chang'an City earlier was caused by the owner of the Heaven and Earth Pawnshop. He killed the Arhat Subduing the Dragon in the 18th level of Hell below us, seized his true spirit, and sacrificed it to the Golden Dragon of Fortune for the human race. This caused a great uproar in the Three Realms...but this great man is still at ease! If you ask who in the world can help you, there is no one else except him."
"He killed the Arhat Subduing the Dragon?" Li Chengqian's eyes widened in shock!
This Dragon-Subduing Arhat is famous and has many followers in the mortal world! The owner of the Heaven and Earth Pawnshop actually dared to do such a thing! He even sacrificed his true spirit to the human golden dragon. So... he is a powerful being standing on the same line as the human race!
"Prince, there is no need to worry, just be sincere!" The Taoist nodded slightly, walked out of the gate of the Ministry of Justice with a leisurely pace.
Li Chengqian looked at the general who was sitting beside him and was almost mute, with murderous eyes.
"Go to my house and receive 300 taels of gold. From now on, you will live in the suburbs of the city! Next spring, you will enter my house and serve as my guard! This will not be unfair to you, will it?"
The general was overjoyed. He was just a captain in the city's defense army. How could he be one of the prince's personal guards? You have to know that when the prince ascends the throne, the personal guards around him, even the worst one, will be qualified to become the lord of a county!
Moreover, he has made outstanding contributions. Although he is not as good as some famous generals of the Tang Dynasty, his martial arts and wisdom in commanding troops and fighting are not inferior... As long as he can stay by the prince's side, he doesn't have to worry about his future!
So he immediately nodded respectfully, turned around and went to the Prince's Mansion, collected the gold, took a carriage, and went to live in a farm in the suburbs!
Li Chengqian found a quiet room, thought for a while, and then knelt on the cushion.
"Heaven and Earth Pawnshop... You are my only hope! If I cannot kill this Buddha tomorrow, my human race will become even weaker. I, Li Chengqian, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, swear here! If I do not prosper the human race, I am willing to go to the 18th level of hell and endure ten thousand years of torture!"
In Chen Garden, Zhang Fan was trimming the dead leaves of purple bamboo. Suddenly, he felt something in his heart and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Wonderful, wonderful... The Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty finally got it!" He returned to the Pawn Shop of Heaven and Earth, only to see that the door to the human world was slowly opening!
Li Chengqian walked with somewhat unsteady steps, shock and uneasiness written on his face and in his eyes, staring blankly at everything around him.
"Li Chengqian, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty... the fact that you can enter this door shows that you are sincere! Tell me, what kind of wish do you want the Heaven and Earth Pawnshop to fulfill for you!"
