At the dawn of the morning, after Li Xiu had breakfast, he went out of the house in a carriage and went to the financial supervision to deal with official business as usual, and the bank in Luoyang was also in intense preparations, although Xu Jingzong was in charge, but some things still needed Li Xiu's nod, especially the branch in Luoyang was the first bank outside Chang'an.

With the Luoyang branch, remote access can also be realized, of course, this requires the bank to establish a smooth information and logistics communication channel, which requires multi-faceted coordination, Xu Jingzong alone is definitely not enough, many times with the help of Li Xiu's influence, and even sometimes Li Shimin needs to nod, so during this time Li Xiu is busier than before.

The carriage walked on the road, swaying and urging people to fall asleep, plus Li Xiu suddenly lost sleep in the middle of the night last night, and was confused for a while when it was almost dawn, but now he naturally couldn't stand the sleepiness, and finally his head dozed off little by little.

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

"Why did you stop the car?" Li Xiu sat up straight at this time, and asked at the moment, although he was dozing off, he felt that the time was a little wrong, should he not arrive in the imperial city so soon?

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

"City gates?" Li Xiu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the coachman's answer, he needed to go to the Mingde Gate to enter the city, which is also the main gate of Chang'an City, although the largest door hole in the middle is generally not open, as long as the emperor goes out on patrol or the general will open when he triumphs, but the small door openings on the left and right sides can enter and exit, and 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 the general city, and there are usually guards guarding the gate to maintain order, and it is generally impossible to have congestion, right?

Thinking of the above, Li Xiu couldn't help but be curious to open the car window and look out, and the result also surprised him, only to see that in front of the two small city gates of Mingde Gate, they were crowded with dense crowds, men, women and children, and they all stretched their necks to look inside the city gate, as if they were waiting for someone to come, and the soldiers guarding the gate were all squeezed aside, and they couldn't even move, let alone maintain order.

"How can there be so many people?" Li Xiu couldn't help but be surprised when he saw this crowded scene, and said to himself, although Chang'an has a population of one million, it is still much less than the big cities in later generations, so only on a particularly grand festival can he see this kind of overcrowded scene, but he doesn't remember what festival it is today?

So many people were blocked at the door, and there was no place for people to stay, let alone let the carriage pass, so in the end, Li Xiu could only helplessly let people drive the carriage to the side of the road, and at the same time let people ask what so many people were doing here?

However, before the people sent to return to report it, they saw a commotion of people on the other side of the city gate, and a group of people shouted, "Coming!" Here it comes! Immediately after that, these people did not need to be commanded, and they took the initiative to retreat to the back, and after a while, they gave way to a passage.

Li Xiu was also very curious when he saw this, and his carriage was also crowded with people, although there were guards to protect people from approaching the carriage, but he couldn't leave for a while, so he sat in the carriage and looked at the city gate with peace of mind, intending to see who had such a big attraction?

"Huh?" However, what Li Xiu didn't expect was that the first one to come out of the city gate hole turned out to be a soldier on horseback, followed by a few knights, and after these cavalry came out, then a few carriages appeared, of course, not the kind that Li Xiu was sitting on, but the most rudimentary flatbed car, and there was no canopy on it, but when they saw this carriage, there were many people around who bowed and worshipped.

A few ordinary flatbed trucks are naturally not worthy of people's worship, the key is that there are a group of solemn monks sitting on the car, this group of monks are old and young, one by one with their hands folded and their eyes closed, they are also chanting Buddhist scriptures in a low voice, which looks very sacred, but they are wearing leg cuffs on their feet, and there are guards guarding the front and back of the carriage, and they are criminals of the imperial court.

"It turned out to be them!" Li Xiu saw these monks and finally understood, these monks should be the ones who participated in framing him in the first place, originally according to Li Shimin's intentions, at least a few leaders should be killed, and the rest should be used as cannon fodder, but at Li Xiu's suggestion, these monks should be exiled to the grassland, of course, the main thing is to let them go to the grassland to preach.

"Let people ask, which monk is Mingji?" Li Xiu immediately instructed again, although the monk Ming was the main envoy who framed him, but he had never seen the other party at all, mainly because he was not interested in getting to know each other, but this time he was lucky to meet here, of course, he had to see what the other party looked like?

With Li Xiu's instructions, soon a guard inquired clearly, and then came back to help Li Xiu identify, but Li Xiu followed the guard's guidance and looked, only to see a middle-aged monk sitting in the middle of the second carriage, only to see that this monk was tall, with good facial features, sitting there motionless with his hands folded, and did not recite Buddhist scriptures like other monks, just sat quietly in the car, and his face was also a sad and joyless expression, as if everything in the outside world had nothing to do with him.

If you only look at Ming Xuan's appearance, you would never imagine that he would be the kind of person who will do anything to achieve his goals, and even kill people, but even so, there are still many people around who chant Ming Zhi's name, it should be his former believers, although the court announced the matter of Ming Xuan's murder and frame-up, but there are still some brainwashed believers who follow each other, plus the followers of other high monks, and people who watch the excitement, this is why so many people have gathered.

Li Xiu looked at the believers around him who bowed to Ming Ji and others, and couldn't help but shake his head at the moment, at this time he really realized why some people said that most people in this world are stupid, and at the same time realized the horror of religious brainwashing, which also made him more determined to fight against religious forces, and absolutely no religion should be allowed to override the country!

After the procession escorting these monks walked out of the city gate, the onlookers slowly dispersed, but there were still many devout believers who followed the procession, and they didn't know where they could follow?

After the road was cleared, Li Xiu's carriage entered the city gate, and then came to the financial superintendent, but as soon as he entered the gate of the financial superintendent, he suddenly saw a person walking up quickly, which made him stunned, no matter what, he didn't expect him to be here?
