The next morning, Li Xiu left home half an hour earlier than usual. After entering the imperial city in a carriage, he did not go to the financial management supervision, but rushed to Liangyi Hall directly. When he came to the gate of the hall, he happened to see Wei Zheng and Fu Yi coming together. The three of them were now grasshoppers on the same rope, so they also communicated with each other after meeting.

"Mr. Concubine, today Xiao Yu clamored to abolish our monks and Taoist records in the morning court and severely punish you, the initiator. I guess after he comes, he will probably put the target of attack on you. You should be more careful then!" Fu Yi finally kindly reminded Li Xiu.

"It's okay, establishing a monk and Taoist record is a matter of benefiting the country and the people. In just a few months, we have confiscated a lot of ill-gotten wealth. These are all the people's wealth and ointment that monks use the opportunity of mission. In comparison, these temples have more land in their hands. For the sake of the world, Your Majesty will not let Xiao Yu and others succeed!" As soon as Fu Yi finished speaking, Wei Zheng next to him said in a firm tone.

However, although Wei Zheng had a righteous expression, Li Xiu understood the deeper meaning in his words, which was nothing more than telling Li Xiu that they had confiscated a large amount of money before attacking Buddhism, and all of this money was put into the national treasury, and the land in the temple was confiscated next. This was also a huge amount of wealth. With Li Shimin's character, he would probably never let go of such a large piece of fat meat that was so fat that he could not have been spared.

Thinking of the above, Li Xiu couldn't help but label Wei Zheng as a "black-hearted" in his heart. Who would have thought that Wei Zheng, who seemed to be upright on the surface, would use this method to strengthen Li Shimin's support for him?

At that moment, Li Xiu and the other two walked and chatted, and then entered Liangyi Hall together. As a result, Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and others had already arrived here. They were discussing government affairs together. When they saw Li Xiu and the others coming in, Li Shimin also signaled them to sit first, as if they wanted to wait for Xiao Yu and others to come together before talking.

Just as Li Xiu and the other two sat down, they saw Xiao Yu and several officials stepping into the hall. When they saw Li Xiu, Wei Zheng and Fu Yi, there was a bit of hostility on their faces, especially when Xiao Yu looked at Li Xiu, he was even more fierce and disgusted, as if Li Xiu was a treacherous minister who was a disaster to the country and the people.

Facing Xiao Yu's unfriendly eyes, Li Xiu smiled, and even had a little pity in his smile. Although Xiao Yu was not the real murderer who designed to frame him, he was a chess piece used by others and was still kept in the dark. Thinking that he was still fooled by others at such an old age, Li Xiu naturally felt a little sympathy for him.

"Okay, since everyone is here, let's talk about the monks and Taoists' records..."

Before Li Shimin finished speaking, Xiao Yu stood up with a "rubbing" sound, then strode to the hall and whispered: "Your Majesty, both Buddhism and Taoism were originally used to guide people to be good and educate the people of the world. However, before, there was the son-in-law Li Xiu's rude discussion on the government affairs, and then Wei Zheng and Fu Yi carried out harsh laws and used the power of the court to attack monks and Taoists. Now there is not one in ten monks and Taoists in Chang'an, and the folk customs have been corrupted. Before, there was even a high monk Huiming who showed his ambitions for the people of the world to die. He also asked Your Majesty to uphold justice for the monks and Taoists in the world, abolish the monks and Taoists' Records and severely punish Li Xiu!"

Although Xiao Yu is not young, his temper is really hot. He doesn't give him any face in front of Li Xiu. Even the monk and Taoist Records ordered by Li Shimin to be revoked. This is simply a blow to Li Shimin's face. This courage alone is not comparable to ordinary people.

"Hmph! Did Xiao Xiang faint when he believed in Buddhism? The monks in the temple gathered crowds to cause trouble, lending, forcing them, occupying land, etc. These were all done by the kind monks you mentioned, and they were all well documented. If you don't believe it, go to Chang'an and Wannian County Government to check it out. How many people are destroyed every year due to the monk's persecution?" Fu Yi was similar to Xiao Yu, and his temper was also very hot. The first sentence began to attack him.

"You are generalizing by partiality. I don't deny that there are some scum in Buddhism, but most of them are real Buddhist children. They not only promote Buddhism, but also put rice, medicine, etc. among the poor people, saving countless people. This is also the main reason why Buddhist believers are spread all over the world!" Xiao Yu was so angry that his beard trembled when he heard Fu Yi's words, and he immediately retorted loudly.

"Hahahaha~, it's just a joke. The real Buddhist disciples can pass our assessment but there is not even one-tenth of them. Our test questions are all the basic homework of those Buddhist disciples. They can't even do basic homework. What kind of face does it mean to call themselves Buddhist disciples?" Fu Yi was also unwilling to give in and said loudly to Mai Mang.

"The questions for the assessment were issued by your monks and Taoists. Of course, they all chose some non-subject questions. Now you are turning around here, which is shameless!" Xiao Yu was so angry that his face turned red and his neck was thick, and he accused Fu Yi again.

"I personally gave the questions of any non-sect, and even I, a person who does not believe in Buddhism, can answer them, but the Buddhist disciples you mentioned cannot answer them. This shows that they usually only care about making money and oppressing the people, and they have not focused on Buddhist studies at all. For these fake monks, they naturally have to drive them out of Buddhism!" Fu Yi sneered and said again.

However, Fu Yi's words were indeed annoying. Although he did not believe in Buddhism, he had read all the Buddhist scriptures in order to deal with Buddhism. Not to mention ordinary monks, even ordinary monks may not be as good as him in their research on Buddhism. However, his heart is as firm as iron. The more thorough he studies Buddhism, the more hostile he becomes to Buddhism.

"you……"

When Xiao Yu heard Fu Yi’s a little unreasonable trouble, he was so angry that his whole body trembled. He was about to refute again, but at this time, Li Shimin suddenly slapped the table and said, “Okay, don’t argue anymore. Today I came to you to discuss the way to deal with this matter, not to listen to your quarrel!”

Seeing Li Shimin getting angry, Fu Yi didn't dare to speak anymore. Although Xiao Yu was still angry, he knew that Fu Yi was sharp-tongued, and he would suffer a loss if he continued to quarrel. Therefore, he snorted coldly and stopped talking.

Li Xiu next to him smiled secretly when he saw this. No wonder Xiao Yu stopped showing up four times in history. It is probably because of his bad temper that even the generous Li Shimin could not stand him. However, thanks to him meeting Li Shimin, otherwise if he met an emperor like Zhu Yuanzhang, Xiao Yu would have fallen to the ground long ago.

"Li Xiu, this incident has been caused by you. Do you have anything to say about this?" Li Shimin saw that Xiao Yu and the others finally calmed down, and then turned his head to look at Li Xiu and asked.
