"Father, I'm wronged. What I'm telling the truth." When Li Xiu said that he didn't tell the truth, Li Jin immediately shouted loudly for himself. There was also a grievance on his face, which really made people unable to tell the truth.

"You know the truth, don't be foolish in front of me, otherwise I will leave this matter to your mother to deal with!" Li Xiu ignored Li Jin's words at all, and glared at him again. As a father, he knew his son's jealousy better than anyone else.

When he heard that Li Xiu was going to hand over himself to his mother Princess Pingyang, Li Jin's little face immediately collapsed. He was not afraid of heaven or earth, but he was afraid of Princess Pingyang because Princess Pingyang was very strict in discipline and was naughty. He was beaten and punished many times since he was a child. However, he was so slander since he was a child, and he had a few hits and had a memory.

"Father, my mother is still pregnant with her younger brother. Don't bother her with such a small matter. If you want to hear the truth, I'll just say it." Li Jin inherited Li Xiu's shamelessness and immediately showed a flattering smile and begged for mercy.

"Haha~, you kid is not old and has a lot of scheming, but it's no wonder, after all, your father has more scheming, and you father and son are really similar!" Seeing that Li Jin was not telling the truth, Ma not only wasn't angry at the moment, but instead pointed at Li Xiu and his son with a smile.

Hearing Ma Ye's words, Li Xiu had no way to refute it. In the end, he could only look at Li Jin again and ask him to tell the truth quickly. Li Jin knew that he could not hide it at this time, so he had to speak again: "Actually, the reason why I burned the Inspiration Temple is mainly because of Mingkong."

"That girl from the Wu family? How could the Inspiration Temple provoke her?" Ma Ye couldn't help but say in surprise when he heard Li Jin's words. Wu Mingkong was the second daughter of Wu Shi Ting and was also one of Li Xiu's students. Even her name was given by Li Xiu. Li Jin also grew up with him since he was a child. Although the two often quarreled, their relationship was very good. Ma Ye knew about these things, but something happened to the Wu family some time ago, and Wu Mingkong was rarely out of the house, so he was a little strange.

"Didn't Mingkong's father get sick some time ago, so he returned to Chang'an to recuperate. However, his father was very sick and even the imperial doctors in the palace were useless. As a matter of fact, Mingkong's mother believed in Buddhism deeply, so she went to the temple to worship Buddha and burn incense. As a result, the monks in Linggui Temple were uneasy and actually bewitched Mingkong's mother to do something..."

Although Li Jin was young, his words were very organized. He immediately explained the reason for the matter. It turned out that although "Li Yuan" died some time ago, it was a fake, but only Li Xiu and Pei Ji knew about this. Apart from that, everyone in the world thought that Li Yuan was really dead.

When Li Yuan started his army from Taiyuan, he swept the world in just a few years. In addition to the assistance of Li Shimin's brothers, he also had a group of capable ministers under his command. Among these ministers, many of them were Li Yuan's old friends who were in Taiyuan. For example, Pei Ji was the representative of them, and there was also an old friend Li Yuan trusted very much, that is Wu Mingkong's father, Wu Shishi Teng.

Although Samurai was a businessman, he was very talented. When Li Yuan was in power, Samurai once served as the Minister of Works and had the power to control the six ministries. His personal relationship with Li Yuan was also very good. Samurai's original wife died early, so Li Yuan personally spoke to him for the matchmaking and took Wu Mingkong's mother Yang. The money for the wedding was paid by the state treasury. Li Yuan even rewarded Samurai with the privilege of avoiding death once for crimes. This shows that Li Yuan favored Samurai.

Unfortunately, after the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Shimin ascended the throne and became emperor. The old ministers of Li Yuan naturally had to give way to the new ministers. Even Pei Ji resigned on his own initiative, and the warriors naturally could not avoid being suppressed, so they were transferred to Lizhou as the governor.

However, Warriors were indeed talented. After taking office in Lizhou, they quickly managed Lizhou in an orderly manner. Especially after high-yield crops such as corn and sweet potatoes, although the land in Lizhou was not good, it had a bumper harvest of food for several years. He also recruited fugitives from the mountains, which greatly increased the population of Lizhou. In the end, Li Shimin also felt a sense of admiration for Warriors, so he promoted him to the governor of Jingzhou. Although they were all governors, Jingzhou was much richer than Lizhou.

Originally, with the talent of the warrior, he might be transferred back to Chang'an in the future. Unfortunately, the news of Li Yuan's death reached Jingzhou some time ago. When the warrior heard that his old friend had died, he was also very sad, but he finally fell ill. Li Shimin was shocked when he heard the news. At the same time, he thought of the great achievements of the warrior when he was in the local area, so he issued a special edict to ask the warrior to return to Chang'an to recuperate.

Li Xiu had visited Samurai before. After all, he had some friendship with Samurai before, but at that time he found that Samurai was very sick and was very tired even when he said a few words to him. Wu Mingkong had been staying at home with his father for a while, and he didn't even have time to study at Li Xiu.

Seeing that the warrior's disease was so serious and there was no sign of improvement, Yang, who believed in Buddhism, naturally worshiped Buddha and burned incense everywhere, hoping to use the power of the misty gods and Buddhas to improve her husband's health.

Although Lingyan Temple does many illegal things among the people, the monks in the temple are very sensible. They use the money they gather together and some small means to easily package some monks in the temple as "deep Buddhist monks" and walk among the nobles. As a result, women like Yang, who are in deep houses and courtyards still believe in them.

The most famous monk in Lingyan Temple is called "Ling Yin". Yang also respects this Lingyin and donates a large amount of property to the temple every year. This time, when the warrior was sick, Yang naturally went to Lingyan Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, and asked Lingyin to do rituals to pray for the warrior to drive away the illness!

Originally, this spiritual seal was just a trick from Yang's money. The Wu family would not care, nor would it provoke Wu Mingkong. However, this time the spiritual seal did not know what medicine he took, and actually told Yang after the ritual that the warrior and Wu Mingkong were incompatible. This time, the warrior also arose because of Wu Mingkong. If Wu Mingkong wanted to cure Wu Mingkong, the only way was to marry Wu Mingkong out.

Yang is actually a very smart woman, but she is confused by religion. Although she is still a little suspicious about Wu Mingkong's illness in the warrior, Wu Mingkong is her biological daughter, but Wu Mingkong is almost twelve years old now, and it is not impossible for women from the Tang Dynasty to get married at the age of twelve. And even if they don't get married, they can get engaged first. After all, girls will have to get married sooner or later.

It is precisely because of this that Yang has been looking for a suitable husband for Wu Mingkong some time ago. As a result, Wu Mingkong was very angry when he found out. However, she knew that her mother was confused by people like Lingyin, and whatever she said was probably useless. However, she was not a good-for-nothing lamp, so she secretly designed it. When Lingyin went to the Wu Mansion again, she was actually teased by Wu Mingkong and lost a lot of face.

Unfortunately, Wu Mingkong was still too young after all. After he played with Lingyin, he was hated by Lingyin. So he told Yang again that Wu Mingkong's fortune-telling is very tough, and he was afraid that ordinary husband's family would not be worthy of her at all. He would kill her husband's family if they married. The only way was to send Wu Mingkong into the palace to be a concubine, and only the royal family could suppress Wu Mingkong's fortune-telling.

Wu Mingkong originally wanted to teach the Spirit Seal a little lesson and let him not talk nonsense. After all, she didn't want to get married so early, but she didn't expect the Spirit Seal to become more powerful and encouraged her mother to send herself to the palace. Although the concubines in the palace were extremely noble, she learned from Li Xiu since she was a child and naturally knew the situation of the concubines in the palace. Even if the concubines who were favored were lost in the future, they would become widows. Moreover, the intrigues in the palace were extremely vicious, and they might lose their lives if they were accidentally killed.

In fact, the palace of the Tang Dynasty was quite good. After all, with Empress Changsun suppressed it, the relationship between the concubines in the palace was relatively harmonious. However, Li Xiu was worried that Wu Mingkong would follow her the old path in history, so he kept instilling in the darkness of the palace into her, telling stories about Zhen Huanzhuan and the palace scheming. In this way, the young Wu Mingkong naturally regarded the palace as a demon cave. However, the spiritual seal actually encouraged his mother Yang to send her into the palace, which naturally made Wu Mingkong angry and angry.

However, Wu Mingkong was just a little girl less than twelve years old. Wu Shiteng had lost power before and had little influence in Chang'an. He was unable to do anything to teach the Spirit Seal a lesson. As a result, he was so angry that he couldn't think of it. The day before yesterday, Li Jin went to visit Wu Mingkong, but only then heard her talk about this incident, which made Li Jin extremely angry. He used the excuse of bullying others in the Inspiration Temple to burn the Inspiration Temple, and also found the Spirit Seal in the chaos and beat the other party half to death before he could relieve his hatred.

"That's how it is, but this matter has nothing to do with Mingkong. I decided to burn the Inspiration Temple by myself, and she didn't know about it in advance!" Li Jin finally spoke again.

"Don't know?" Li Xiu looked at Li Jin in front of him but showed an unpredictable smile. After a moment, he spoke to Li Jin again, "Go and bring Mingkong to see me!"

"Father, didn't I say it had nothing to do with Mingkong?" Seeing that Li Xiu was going to call Wu Mingkong, Li Jin said anxiously at the moment.

"No matter whether Mingkong knew about this or not, it was all caused by her, so just call her!" Li Xiu said with a stern face at this time. It was natural that he called Wu Mingkong.

Seeing Li Xiu's face so serious, Li Jin didn't dare to say anything else. He had to nod and agreed, and then rode away on his horse. After he left, Ma Jun stroked his beard and said, "Boy, none of your children are fuel-efficient lamps!"

Li Xiu smiled bitterly when he heard this, but he didn't say anything. However, Ma suddenly thought of something again, and smiled again and said, "Jin'er burned the Inspiration Temple. I guess some people will make trouble in the court tomorrow. At that time, you may have to go to the court!"
