Chenguang Chuxiao and Li Xiu had breakfast after breakfast, he left the house in a carriage and went to the financial management supervisor to handle official duties as usual. The banks in Luoyang were also under intense preparations. Although Xu Jingzong was responsible, Li Xiu still needed to nod some things, especially the branch in Luoyang was the first bank outside Chang'an.

With the Luoyang branch, deposits and withdrawals in other places can be achieved. Of course, this requires the bank to establish a smooth information and logistics exchange channel, which requires coordination in multiple aspects. It is definitely not possible to rely on Xu Jingzong, a minor supervisor. Many times, they have to rely on Li Xiu's influence, and sometimes Li Shimin nodded. Therefore, during this period, Li Xiu was busier than before.

The carriage was walking on the road, shaking and urging people to fall asleep. In addition, Li Xiu suddenly suffered from insomnia in the middle of the night last night. He was only confused for a while when it was almost dawn. As a result, he naturally couldn't resist the sleepiness now, and finally he started to doze on his head bit by bit.

I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly Li Xiu felt the speed of the carriage drop rapidly, which made his body lean forward involuntarily, which made him wake up suddenly, and then he felt that the carriage stopped.

"Why did you stop the car?" Li Xiu sat upright at this time and asked immediately. Although he was dozing off, he felt that the time was wrong. He shouldn't have arrived at the imperial city so soon?

"Master, there are too many people at the city gate, and our carriage can't get in at all!" Hearing Li Xiu's inquiry, the coachman in front of him immediately replied.

"City Gate?" Li Xiu was stunned when he heard the coachman's answer. He needed to go to Mingde Gate to enter the city, which is also the main gate of Chang'an City. Although the largest gate in the middle is generally not open and will only be opened when the emperor goes on a patrol or the general returns in triumph, the small gates on both sides can enter and exit. It is said to be a small city gate, but it can allow three or four carriages to run in parallel, which is larger than the main gate of ordinary cities. In addition, there are soldiers guarding the gate to maintain order, so it is generally impossible to congestion?

Thinking of the above, Li Xiu couldn't help but open the car window and looked out, which surprised him. He saw that in front of the two small town gates of Mingde Gate, there were dense crowds of people, including men, women, young and old. They all stretched their necks and looked at the inside of the city gate, as if they were waiting for someone to come. As for the soldiers guarding the gate, they were all squeezed aside and couldn't even move, let alone maintain order.

"Why are there so many people?" Li Xiu couldn't help but feel surprised to see this crowded scene. Although Chang'an has a population of one million, it is still much smaller than the big cities in later generations. Therefore, this kind of crowded scene can only be seen during a particularly grand festival, but he doesn't remember what festival it is today?

There were so many people blocking the door, and there was no place to stay, let alone let the carriage pass, so in the end, Li Xiu could only helplessly get the carriage to the side of the road, and at the same time asked what so many people were doing here?

However, before the sent people came back to report, they saw a noise from the other side of the city gate, and a group of people shouted, "Come! Come!" Then these people did not need anyone to command, and actually took the initiative to retreat back. As a result, a passage was given up in a short while.

Li Xiu was also very curious when he saw this, and his carriage was crowded with people. Although he was protected by guards and did not let people get close to the carriage, he couldn't leave for a while, so he sat at the carriage with peace of mind at the gate of the city, intending to see who was so attractive?

"Huh?" But what Li Xiu didn't expect was that the first person who walked out of the city gate was a soldier riding a horse. Then several knights followed closely behind. After the cavalry came out, several carriages appeared. Of course, it was not the kind that Li Xiu was sitting in, but the most simple flatbed carriage with no tent on it. However, when he saw this carriage, many people around him bowed.

Several ordinary flatbed cars are naturally not worthy of worship. The key is that there are a group of solemn monks sitting on the car. These monks are old and young, sitting there with their hands closed, and chanting Buddhist scriptures in a low voice. They look extremely sacred, but they are handcuffed on their feet, and soldiers are guarding them in front and behind the carriage. They are actually criminals of the court.

"So it was them!" Li Xiu finally understood that these monks should be the ones who were involved in frameing him. According to Li Shimin's intention, at least a few people who took the lead should be killed, and the rest would be served as cannon fodder. However, at Li Xiu's suggestion, these monks were exiled to the grassland, and of course they were mainly asked to go to the grassland to preach.

"Let me ask who is the monk Mingjiao?" Li Xiu ordered again. Although the monk Mingjiao was the commander who framed him, he had never seen the other party at all. The main reason was that he was not interested in knowing each other. But this time he had the chance to meet him here. Of course, he had to see what the other party looked like?

Following Li Xiu's order, a guard soon found out and came back to help Li Xiu identify it. As a result, Li Xiu followed the guidance of the guard and saw a middle-aged monk sitting in the middle of the second carriage. He saw that the monk was tall, with his facial features and his hands were folded and he sat there motionless. He did not recite Buddhist scriptures like other monks. He just sat quietly in the carriage with a look of no sorrow or joy on his face, as if everything outside had nothing to do with him.

If you only look at Ming Ge's appearance, you would never imagine that he would be the kind of person who would use any means to achieve his goal and even kill people. However, even so, there were still many people around him shouting Ming Ge's name, which should be his former believers. Although the court announced the murder and frame-up of Ming Ge, there were still some brainwashed believers following the other party, and the believers of other monks and those who watched the fun, so many people gathered.

Li Xiu looked at the believers around him who worshiped Ming Jia and others, and couldn't help but shake his head. At this time, he really realized why some people said that most people in this world are stupid, and at the same time they also felt the terribleness of religious brainwashing. This also strengthened his determination to crack down on religious forces. He must not let any religion be above the country!

After the team of monks such as Mingjia walked out of the city gate, the onlookers slowly dispersed, but there were still many devout believers following the team, and I don’t know where they could follow.

After the road was clear, Li Xiu's carriage entered the city gate and then came to the financial management supervisor. However, as soon as he entered the financial management supervisor, he suddenly saw a man quickly approaching him, which made him stunned. No matter what, he didn't expect him to be here?
