"Phew! You, an old monk, even quibbled in front of His Majesty, yesterday when we entered the temple, didn't we first find you to reason, but you monks were quite unreasonable, so we were forced to do it! Li Jin saw that this old monk of the Lingkong had put all the responsibility on his side, and he retorted again at the moment.

"Little benefactor, you broke into the temple yesterday and spoke wildly to the monks in our temple, although we are monks, but we are not insulted by others, not to mention that it is clear that you are the first to do it, and we are just protecting ourselves!" The monk is good at debate, and the advantage of Lingkong's tongue is not weaker than Li Jin's, and looking at his appearance as a high-ranking monk, it seems to be more convincing than Li Jin's words.

However, Li Jin is not easy to provoke, and he just wanted to refute again, but he saw that Li Xiu suddenly stopped him and said: "Jin'er, there is no point in arguing about who is right and who is wrong now, and you have indeed burned the main hall of the Inspiration Temple, this wrong thing has been cast, a manly man, you must be responsible for doing things, and you must not shirk your responsibility!" ”

"Yes, Father!" When Li Jin heard Li Xiu speak, he stepped aside very honestly and said, in fact, Li Xiu had discussed with him before he came, as long as Li Xiu spoke, he would cooperate no matter what he said, although Li Jin didn't know what his father was going to do next?

"The horse is really a reasonable person, and the old man is not unreasonable, but the front hall of the temple was burned and the monks of the same sect were beaten, so I had to ask His Majesty for an explanation!" Lingkong was very "fair" when he heard Li Xiu's words, and he was also happy in his heart at the moment, and then saluted Li Xiu, after all, he didn't dare to really confront Li Xiu and these people, but he was forced to do this by things, and if Li Xiu was willing to reconcile, he couldn't ask for it.

"Master Lingkong is polite, although I don't believe in Buddhism, but I have always had a good impression of Buddhism, and I feel guilty about what the dog did, so I took him into the palace early this morning to confess my guilt, and I am also willing to fund the restoration of their burning down of the main hall of the Inspiration Temple, I don't know what the master wants?" Li Xiu said with a smile at this time.

Hearing that Li Xiu was willing to pay compensation, everyone in the hall also showed a surprised expression, and Wei Chigong next to him was even more anxious, making money is a trivial matter, but the key is that as nobles, they actually bowed their heads to a group of monks, and this will definitely damage the face of their families, so he wanted to speak at this time, but thinking that he had promised Li Xiu that he would not talk too much, and finally endured it.

"Hahahaha~, I know that the colt is a reasonable person, since the colt is willing to compensate, I think this matter will be settled!" Li Shimin was also relieved at this time, and laughed loudly at the moment, he was still worried that Li Xiu and Wei Chigong would not be willing to back down, so it would be a little difficult for him to do, after all, no matter what the reason was, Li Jin and the others did set fire to the Inspiration Temple, but fortunately, the fire was not big and did not spread, otherwise Li Jin and the others would definitely not escape the serious crime.

"Your Majesty, no!" But at this moment, someone suddenly jumped out and went against Li Shimin, you don't need to look at it to know that this person must be Wei Zheng, after all, he is the only one in the entire hall who is so bold.

I saw Wei Zheng stand up at this time and salute Li Shimin solemnly: "Your Majesty, arson is a serious crime, how can it just be a matter of losing money, the minister thinks that Li Jin and others should be handed over to Dali Temple for trial, and the punishment will be corrected!" ”

"You old man Wei don't know anything, it's not certain who is right and who is wrong in this matter, now that we are all willing to make money, you are still biting, do you really want to do it right with us?" Wei Chigong finally couldn't help it when he heard Wei Zheng's words, and then slapped the table and pointed at him angrily, he used to be this kind of man, although he restrained his temper after becoming a general, but now he was provoked by Wei Zheng's anger, and naturally he couldn't control his temper anymore.

"The old man is just talking about things, General Wei Chi, you also say who is right and who is wrong, in this case, why not let Dali Temple interrogate clearly, if the final interrogation reveals that the Temple of Inspiration is the party that loses, not only do you not have to make money, but the court also has to treat the sins of these monks in the Temple of Inspiration!" Facing the furious Wei Chigong, Wei Zheng said with an indifferent expression.

Don't look at it before, he seems to be helping the monks of the Inspiration Temple to speak, but in fact, he doesn't help anyone, but stands in the position of the imperial court, whether it is a nobleman like Li Xiu or an outsider like Lingkong, in his opinion, they all have to be under the control of the imperial court, so this case must be tried by Dali Temple.

"Hehe, Dr. Wei is very reasonable to uphold the law and order, but if Dali Temple wants to handle the case, I'm afraid there must be a plaintiff and a defendant, but I don't know if this Lingkong master of the Inspiration Temple is willing to act as a plaintiff?" At this moment, I saw that the eldest grandson Wuji, who had not spoken, suddenly stood up and said, he has a good personal relationship with Li Xiu, and at this time, he is naturally biased towards Li Xiu and others.

"This ......" The old monk of Lingkong couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the question of the eldest grandson Wuji, and then showed a hesitant expression, after all, Li Xiu had already promised to make money, which was equivalent to taking a step back, if he didn't know what to do, I am afraid that Li Xiu and Wei Chigong would offend these nobles to death, with the power of these nobles, their inspiration temple will not have a good time in Chang'an in the future.

Thinking of this, the old monk of Lingkong immediately said with a straight face: "The old man is an outsider, and he is not willing to mix the rights and wrongs of this world, and the horse is also a reasonable person, and several sons have already known their mistakes, as the so-called forgiving and forgiving people, so the old man is willing to have a private relationship with the horse." ”

The ancient law was not perfect, and it was allowed by the imperial court to be private, and it was similar to the out-of-court settlement in later generations, but the scope of application was greater, and the old monk Lingkong was unwilling to sue again, which was equivalent to having no plaintiff, so that the case would naturally not be established, and Dali Temple could not hear it.

"You ......" Wei Zheng saw that the old monk Lingkong suddenly changed his hexagram, and he couldn't help but be angry at the moment, but he had no choice at this time, after all, he couldn't force Lingkong to be the defendant, not to mention that Li Jin and they were already young, and the reasons for the conflict with the Inspiration Temple were also very complicated, and there were no casualties on either side, so even if this matter was handed over to Dali Temple for trial, I am afraid that in the end, it could only be lightly sentenced.

In contrast, Dali Siqing, who was sitting with Wei Zheng, was relieved at this time, he was unwilling to get involved in this matter, but the Inspiration Temple sued Li Jin and them, and he had to come forward as Dali Siqing, but he didn't want to really interrogate Li Jin, the top aristocratic children of the Tang Dynasty, because no matter what the result was, their Dali Temple was not easy to judge, if Li Jin was sentenced to be innocent, it might make people say that they Dali Temple was afraid of the powerful, if Li Jin was sentenced to be guilty, But he offended the big nobles such as Li Xiu and Wei Chigong, even if he neutralized the mud, he might not be a person inside or out.

"Wait, Master Lingkong is willing to be private, but I think it's better to interrogate the rights and wrongs of this matter, if Jin'er is at fault first, even if it is in prison, I am willing!" But at this moment, I suddenly saw Li Xiu speak again.

As soon as Li Xiu's words came out, the entire hall was stunned, and Wei Chigong next to him showed an anxious look, and even stretched out his hand to grab Li Xiu, even Li Jin and the others looked at him in shock, as if they couldn't believe that Li Xiu would say this, but their eyes were ignored by Li Xiu.

"Didn't you just say that you were willing to pay compensation to the Inspiration Temple, how can you ......" Li Shimin didn't understand what Li Xiu meant at this time, and looked at him with a puzzled face.

"Your Majesty, the Inspiration Temple was indeed burned down by Jin'er, so compensating for the loss of the temple is also what the minister should do, but the minister doesn't think that Jin'er will have nothing to do, so it needs to be handed over to Dali Temple to interrogate this case, if the Lingkong Master is not willing to be this plaintiff, then the minister will be the plaintiff, sue the monks of the Inspiration Temple for not abiding by the precepts, wantonly lending money to collect money!" Li Xiu stood up straight at this time and talked eloquently.

Hearing Li Xiu's words, everyone showed shocked expressions, no one expected Li Xiu to come out like this, and turn the plaintiff into a defendant, and the defendant into a plaintiff, so that Dali Temple would not be able to interrogate this case.

"Don't you also say before, the right and wrong of this matter is meaningless, and my Buddha is merciful, and I am no longer willing to hold the son of the world accountable for the crimes they committed, why do you have to go to the court?" When the old monk of Lingkong heard that Li Xiu had to go through the trial of Dali Temple without reluctance, and he also wanted to sue them for not abiding by the precepts and collecting money, he couldn't help but feel a little weak at the moment, after all, their Inspiration Temple is indeed not clean in this regard, and if it is really investigated, I am afraid it will not be a good thing for them.

The others also didn't understand what Li Xiu was going to do, and they all looked at him with doubts on their faces, but at this time, they saw Wei Zheng nodding approvingly and said: "The horse really understands the righteousness, and it is indeed appropriate to compensate for the loss of the temple, but this case must also be interrogated clearly, Chang'an is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and there is absolutely no room for any flies and dogs!" ”

As soon as Wei Zheng's words came out, the face of the old monk of Lingkong became even more ugly, and the four monks behind him, including Lingyin, were also a little panicked, after all, their own affairs were clear, and they had done a lot of illegal things in the Inspiration Temple before, and if the imperial court really pursued it, I am afraid that the consequences would be unimaginable.

However, Li Xiu didn't pay attention to Lingkong and Wei Zheng at all, only to see him take out a thick fold from his sleeve at this time, and then presented it with both hands: "Your Majesty, the minister is grateful for the matter of the Inspiration Temple, and specially wrote down a fold, and asked Your Majesty to take a look!" ”

Seeing that Li Xiu still had a fold, Li Shimin and the others were even more surprised, at the moment Li Shimin asked people to take it, but as soon as he opened it and looked at it a little, his face became solemn, and then he seriously read the fold from beginning to end, and finally when he closed the fold, he couldn't help but show a complicated expression, and his gaze at Li Xiu was also very entangled!
