In the next few days, Li Xiu was always distressed by what Li Chengqian said that day, he would never marry Qiniang to Li Chengqian no matter what, but he couldn't bear to refuse in person, I have to say that this is a very contradictory idea.

However, to Li Xiu's surprise, although Li Chengqian has come to the financial supervision every day in the past few days, he has never mentioned anything related to Qi Niang, which makes Li Xiu secretly relieved, and even comforted himself: Li Chengqian may have seen that he disagreed, so he gave up this idea.

However, Li Xiu is obviously still too optimistic, on this day, Li Xiu does not have to go to the financial supervision office, so he took advantage of this day to plan to give a lecture to the children, but he didn't expect Li Chengqian to come, and he also took advantage of the break to deliberately chat with Qi Niang, Qi Niang didn't think much about it at all, after all, she has always taken Li Chengqian as a younger brother, and she didn't expect that the "younger brother" in front of her would want to marry her.

In the next period of time, Li Chengqian will come to Li Xiu's house as long as he is free, even if Li Xiu is not there, it doesn't matter, anyway, he is mainly here to find Qi Niang, and slowly Li Xiu also understood, it is estimated that he said that day that he wanted Qi Niang to decide the choice of husband by himself, Li Chengqian also wrote down this sentence, so he often came to Qi Niang, so as to enhance the relationship.

saw through Li Chengqian's thoughts, but Li Xiu didn't know how to deal with this matter, after all, it was impossible for him not to let Li Chengqian come, and the stupid girl Qi Niang didn't seem to notice anything, and Li Xiu didn't want to remind him, which made him only look at it in his eyes and be anxious in his heart.

That afternoon, Li Xiu finished dealing with the matter of financial supervision early and was about to go home early, because he got a report from his subordinates today, and Li Chengqian went to the house to find Qi Niang again.

However, just as Li Xiu was taking a carriage out of the financial supervision and was about to leave the gate of the imperial city, he was suddenly stopped by someone, and then a clear voice shouted: "Stay with the horse!" ”

Hearing this familiar voice, Li Xiu couldn't help but be stunned, and then opened the car door and looked at the eldest grandson Wuji outside in surprise and said, "Why is Brother Wuji here?" ”

Standing in front of the car was the eldest grandson Wuji, only to see the other party smile indifferently at this time and stepped forward and said: "I went to the city today to do business, and I just came back, but I didn't expect to meet the carriage of the horse here, so I rashly stopped the carriage, and I hope that the horse will not blame!" ”

"Brother Wuji is polite, are you going to see Your Majesty in the palace?" Li Xiu saw that there was indeed a carriage parked behind the eldest grandson Wuji, and he was still carrying a long wooden box in his hand, and he didn't know what it contained?

"I'm not in a hurry to see Your Majesty, but when it comes to what I'm going to do today, it's also related to the horses, why don't we find a place to have a drink and have a good chat?" I saw that the eldest grandson Wuji suddenly smiled and said at this time.

Hearing the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Xiu also felt a little curious, and the other party actually took the initiative to invite him to drink and chat, which was a bit unusual, so he immediately agreed, and then invited the other party to get into the carriage, and the two came to the Zhengnan Building in the East Market, that is, the big restaurant opposite the auction house.

Since the first auction was successfully held, the next few auctions were held, although the momentum was not as great as the first time, but it also attracted a lot of people to participate, and this new type of trading model is slowly being recognized by businessmen, and even some businessmen have begun to imitate the form of auction to do business, which also makes the reputation of the auction house also completely started, and the biggest wish of many businessmen from other places is to participate in an auction in person to open their eyes.

With the prosperity of the auction house, the business of Zhengnanlou is naturally becoming more and more prosperous, but such a good business is naturally eye-catching, and it alone can't receive so many guests, so now someone next to Zhengnanlou has begun to build a restaurant with a scale no less than Zhengnanlou, and it is estimated that it will be open next year.

The main body of Zhengnan Building is a large wooden restaurant, but there is also an exquisite garden at the back, which has some sporadic private rooms, which can allow guests to talk about some private matters, after all, the people who come here to eat are either businessmen or officials, and they don't want others to hear a lot of things they talk about, so there is such a private room.

After Li Xiu and the two came to Zhengnan Building, the eldest grandson Wuji offered to ask for a private room, and then the two came to the back garden and chose a private room located on a small lake, which is actually a small pavilion, because it is surrounded by water on all sides, only one corridor communicates, as long as the guards guard the entrance of the corridor, they are not afraid of being overheard, but it is a very safe place to talk.

"Brother Wuji, I don't know what you want to say, you chose such a place?" Li Xiu immediately looked at the water around the pavilion before he smiled.

"Hehe, it's actually nothing, I just want to ask the colt to take a look at this painting!" I saw that the eldest grandson Wuji smiled indifferently at this time, and then put the long wooden box that he had been holding in his hand in front of Li Xiu.

"Painting?" Li Xiu couldn't help but feel even more strange when he heard this, and immediately reached out to open the box, and sure enough, he saw a scroll of paintings inside, and he reached out and opened it slowly, but when he saw the content of the painting, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

I saw a very familiar scene painted on the painting, under the tall and majestic Mingde Gate, a group of monks with shackles were slowly moving forward under the guard of the soldiers, and around them were groups of believers who bowed to the monks.

Of course, this painting is not completely realistic, some changes have been made to the painting, such as the monks in the painting are walking on foot, but the real situation is sitting in the carriage, although the carriage is very simple, but it can be regarded as the imperial court to take care of them, of course, the reason for doing this, is mainly worried that those old monks will not be able to hold on to the grassland, after all, the Tang Dynasty is still counting on them to harm the Hu people on the grassland, naturally they can't easily let them die on the road.

However, the biggest change in the painting is not the lack of carriages, but that people can see more conspicuous figures at a glance, these figures are very tall, several times taller than ordinary people, which is also a significant feature of the paintings of the Sui and Tang dynasties, that is, the higher the status, the taller the characters will be painted in the paintings, for example, in some Tang Dynasty murals in later generations, the nobles will be painted very tall, while the servants and maids may be less than half the size of the nobles.

The tall figures on the painting know at a glance that they are nobles, and these nobles are also divided into two parts, one of them stands on the city wall, led by a thin person, staring coldly at the monk who came out of the city gate, looking at his expression, as if he is Wei Zheng, who is in charge of the monk Daolu Division, and next to Wei Zheng, there is an old man with a sneer on his face and cruel eyes, he knows without asking, he must be Fu Yi, who hates Buddhism the most.

There are still a group of people standing behind Wei Zheng and Fu Yi, with their own characteristics in shape and appearance, and a few Li Xiu also look familiar, and it is estimated that they are also officials in the Monk Daolu Division.

Another part of the nobles is located under the city wall, it is not accurate to say that part of it, in fact, there is only one, I saw this person sitting in a luxurious carriage, the door opened to reveal only the upper body, the same sneered at these monks out of the city, looking at the appearance of Li Xiu himself, in fact, this part is very realistic, that day Li Xiu was indeed sitting in the carriage watching these monks leave.

"Who drew this, and how did he know that I was outside the city gates that day?" When Li Xiu saw himself on the painting, he couldn't help but sink his face and asked, Wei Zheng and the others on the city gate must be fictional, but the painting on himself is real, which means that the person who painted must have seen him that day, which made him also feel vigilant, and even wondered if someone was deliberately following him?

"Don't worry about the horse, this painting was painted by Xiao Xiang himself, when the monks went out of the city that day, he went to the outside of the city to see him off, and he saw the horse by chance, but the horse didn't see him!" I saw the eldest grandson Wuji smile at this time.

"Xiao Yu painted?" Li Xiu couldn't help but be surprised when he heard the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, firstly, he didn't expect Xiao Yu to have such superb painting skills, and secondly, he didn't expect Xiao Yu to see him that day, no wonder he would draw himself into it.

"Hehe, although Xiao Yu's paintings are not as famous as Yan Liben, they are also quite good, and he is especially good at painting people, but his paintings are rarely circulated, so he is not famous, but the most important thing about this painting is not how it is painted, but the name of the painting!" Eldest Sun Wuji introduced with a smile again, and when he said the end, he also clicked on the top of the painting.

With the guidance of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Xiu saw that there were still four big characters written on the painting, and his attention was all attracted by the content of the painting just now, especially the painting and himself, and he didn't notice the big characters on it at all, but when he saw the words on the painting at this time, he couldn't help but smile helplessly.

""Zhenguan Fa is difficult"! Xiao Yu's courage is really big enough! Li Xiu carefully tasted the name of the painting, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

Dharma martyrdom is a Buddhist saying, mainly refers to the fact that Buddhism was hit by the imperial court, which caused the artificial decline of Buddhism, such as the three martial arts and one sect in history to destroy the Buddha, of course, now there are two martial arts to destroy the Buddha, but the word Dharma martyrdom has appeared.

Xiao Yu directly called this blow to Buddhism a martyrdom, obviously standing on the position of Buddhism, but as an important minister of the imperial court, he openly expressed sympathy for the Buddhism attacked by the imperial court, which is simply a direct provocation to Li Shimin!

"It's nothing, do you know why this painting is in my hand?" I saw that the eldest grandson Wuji smiled indifferently again at this time, and then asked.
