A live sheep was thrown into the fire and immediately screamed violently. Her body kept struggling to escape. Unfortunately, its limbs were tied to a rope dipped in water. It could not be freed for a while. The fur in its whole body was also on fire, making its screams lower and lower. Finally, it twitched its whole body and finally stopped struggling.

In order to find out the realistic effect, Li Shimin let the fire burn for a while, and finally he let someone extinguish the fire, and then he took out the two sheep from the ashes of the fire. For the sake of easy viewing, the guards directly split the mouths of the two sheep, and the difference could be seen at a glance. The mouth of the sheep that was burned to death was full of smoke and ashes, but the mouth of the dead sheep was very clean.

"Xiao Xiang, you should believe it now. Should we go to Xinzhu County to personally see if the corpse's mouth and nose are as clean as this dead sheep?" Seeing this result, Fu Yi immediately sneered and stood up and ridiculed.

"Hmph!" Xiao Yu also snorted coldly when he heard this, but he did not respond. After all, this time he confirmed that Li Xiu's words had already made him lose face once, and he didn't want to lose face again.

"It has now been confirmed that the body suspected to be Huiming was indeed burned after death. Moreover, after Huiming's death, many rumors spread in Chang'an City. Every item of the village is not good for the prince-consort. Therefore, I think this must be a conspiracy against the prince-consort, so I would like to ask your Majesty to investigate the matter thoroughly!" At this moment, Wei Zheng, who had not spoken much, suddenly stood up and said righteously.

"I also think that this matter is of great importance. Someone dares to secretly plot against important officials of the court. Please ask Your Majesty to investigate strictly!" In addition to the fact that Wei Zheng finished speaking, Changsun Wuji also stood up and said. Then Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others also expressed their support. This time someone dared to secretly plot against Li Xiu, so someone may dare to plot against them in the future, so in this matter, they also stood with Li Xiu.

"It's true that he is brave. It seems that the world has been in peace for a long time. Some people have forgotten how sharp my butcher knife is!" Li Shimin also said with a cold face at this time. Ministers are his assistants to rule the world. Some people dare to touch his most important assistant. It can be said that they don't take him as the emperor seriously. How can he not be angry?

"Summon the Dali Temple to meet!" Li Shimin immediately ordered that Dali Temple is responsible for major cases in the capital area, and its power is much greater than that of the small Xinzhu County Government. It is simply the most appropriate case to be investigated by Dali Temple.

"Your Majesty, even though Hui Ming's death is a bit strange, I still feel that the court rashly establishes the monks and Taoist sects, which has caused a great blow to the two religions of Buddhism and Taoism. It has now caused a great impact among the people. I am afraid that the people's hearts will be unstable in the future, so please think twice!" At this moment, Xiao Yu suddenly spoke again. It seems that he still does not give up and wants to save the Buddhist sect.

"The Monks and Taoist Relics made a decision after careful consideration, and the evil deeds of the Buddhist and Taoist religions that have been investigated these days are shocking. I never dreamed that the internal internal sects of Buddhism and Taoist religions were as rotten as this, so don't mention this matter again!" Li Shimin was also angry at this time. When he heard Xiao Yu mentioning the Monks and Taoist Relics again, he snorted coldly and refused.

"Your Majesty said very well, and I think this conspiracy against the prince-consort is probably related to Buddhism. For their own selfishness, they actually framed important officials of the court. I even doubted whether Xiao Xiang was also related to this matter?" At this moment, Fu Yi suddenly stepped forward and spoke again, saying that he hated the Buddha as if he was foolish. As long as someone dared to stop him from destroying the Buddha, he would be ruthlessly attacked by him, even if he used some disgraceful means.

"You... you slander!" Xiao Yu couldn't help but feel angry when he heard Fu Yi's words, and he shouted loudly. He always thought he was a gentleman and looked down on such a way of hurting others the most, but he didn't expect Fu Yi to splash this dirty water on him.

"Okay, don't argue anymore. The most important thing now is to find out who has such a courage to frame important officials of the court, rather than quarrel in front of me!" Li Shimin finally interrupted the two of them again at this time. Although he didn't like Xiao Yu, he still believed in Xiao Yu's character.

"Your Majesty, I found that there was a conspiracy against me behind the body suspected to be Huiming's body burned after death. So I have ignored the rumors in the outside world on the surface, but I have secretly asked someone to investigate the matter. Now I have found something!" Just as Li Shimin finished speaking, Li Xiu suddenly stood up and said.

"Oh, you have a clue in your hand?" Li Shimin couldn't help but lit up when he heard this, and he immediately asked.

"Report to Your Majesty, when I learned that Huiming was burning the body after his death, I also suspected that this matter was related to Buddhism. It is even very likely that there was a grudge against me in Buddhism, so I took this to revenge me. Therefore, I have been investigating the movements of people in Buddhism during this period. It turned out that a monk was extremely active during this period and often went in and out of the mansions of some high-ranking officials!" Li Xiu couldn't help but sneer when he spoke at the end.

Previously, Li Xiu asked Xu Jingzong to investigate Xiao Yu, hoping that Xiao Yu could find out the mastermind who framed him. As a result, Xu Jingzong really lived up to expectations. In the end, the investigation found that a monk had frequent contact with Xiao Yu. What was even more surprising was that this monk not only approached Xiao Yu, but also had contacted many high-ranking officials and nobles. These people were the main force who impeached Li Xiu before. For example, Xiao Yu and the few people behind him have all contacted that monk.

"A monk? What's the name of the other party?" Li Shimin couldn't help but frown when he heard this, and his anger became even more intense. He was a little nervous about the attack on Buddhism, but if a monk really dared to frame Li Xiu, he would have to pay a greater price for Buddhism.

"I am said to be one of the most famous monks in Chang'an City. However, I don't know much about Buddhism. In comparison, Xiao Xiang must have a good understanding of this Minggui!" When Li Xiu said the last, he couldn't help but look at Xiao Yu with a smile.

"All nonsense! Ming Jia is a virtuous monk, how could he do such a villain!" As soon as Li Xiu finished speaking, Xiao Yu scolded loudly. He felt something was wrong just now. Although he had no private deal with Ming Jia, the reason why he joined forces with other people to impeach Li Xiu and demanded the withdrawal of the monk and Taoist Records was that Ming Jia did put a lot of effort into it.

"Haha~, there are so many virtuous monks in Chang'an City, but I think you should inquire with Doctor Wei and Taishi Fu to see how many monks are beasts in the past!" Li Xiu laughed when he heard this, and then fought back sharply.

"What the prince consort said is that during this period, our monks and Taoist records investigated and dealt with illegal people in various temples. Among them, there was a monk Hongtu who looked kind on the surface, but secretly oppressed the kind. He even forced the woman to commit herself to her, and plundered tens of thousands of dollars. In addition, there was a monk Kong Qing..."

Fu Yi laughed loudly when he heard Li Xiu's words, and then gave a series of examples. These so-called monks used to be countless believers, but they were just merciful on the surface and did countless evil things behind their backs. These were also dealt with by the monks and Taoist Records in accordance with the law and their deterioration was announced to the public.

"You..." Xiao Yu was also very angry by the examples mentioned by Fu Yi. He wanted to argue that they were not real Buddhist disciples, but he felt that they had no confidence. After all, these people were indeed famous monks before, but who would have thought that behind the monks was a bunch of thieves and prostitutes?

"Ming Ge, I seem to have heard of this person?" Li Shimin also said with a gloomy face at this time. He also felt that Ming Ge's Dharma name was very familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had heard of it.

"Your Majesty, during the severe drought in Hebei last year, this man once built a high platform in Chang'an, saying that he was praying for rain for Hebei. Later, there was a heavy rain in Hebei, which led to his reputation. The believers in Chang'an alone claimed to have 100,000 people!" At this time, Fang Xuanling stood up and introduced.

"So it's him, I remember it!" Li Shimin couldn't help but nodded thoughtfully when he heard this.

After the spring of last year, there was no rain in Hebei for two months, causing a severe drought in the local area. Even though the Tang Dynasty had sufficient grain reserves, the local area could not even guarantee water and it was useless to have food. He was worried for a long time because of this, but he did not expect that the rain suddenly came. At that time, a minister reported that the rain was thanks to the eminent monk Ming Ge praying for rain. Although Li Shimin did not believe much about the matter of gods and ghosts, he was in high spirits at that time, and for the sake of Ming Ge praying for rain, he also rewarded the other party.

"Mr. Concubine, do you suspect that Ming Jiao is the one who framed you behind the scenes?" Li Shimin thought for a while, and then asked Li Xiu again.

"Your Majesty, before the matter was investigated clearly, I was not sure who was making trouble behind it. However, after the rumors of the death of Monk Huiming were spread, Ming Ge was extremely active and frequently contacted some ministers. After that, Xiao Xiang and the ministers discussed the book of the ministers and asked the abolition of the monk's Taoist Records. Therefore, I suspect that Ming Ge should be related to this matter!" Li Xiu replied again. At the end of the day, he looked at Xiao Yu and the people behind him.

"Xiao Xiang, what do you have to say about Ming Jia?" Li Shimin naturally noticed the gaze of Li Xiu looking at Xiao Yu and others. He immediately thought that Ming Jia must have had contact with Xiao Yu, so he immediately asked.

"Your Majesty, I... I think what the son-in-law said is untrue. Mingjia is a famous monk in Chang'an. The old minister often discusses Buddhism with him and admires his cultivation in Buddhism very much. Therefore, the old minister dares to guarantee that Mingjia must have nothing to do with this matter!" Although Xiao Yu felt a little lacking in confidence, he was in a difficult position at this time, so he could only say with a tough bullet.
