Tanabata Diva Concert: Happy Breakup

The conditions of the temples before Li Shimin were too good.

Of course, there are some people in the court who firmly believe in Buddhism, and these people are still the majority. Take Prime Minister Xiao Yu for example, who is a person who is devoted to Buddhism.

Li Shimin wanted to boil the frog in warm water and remove the thorn of Buddhism.

But it was obvious that the meeting ended in a bad mood.

But the monks from the Fahua Temple were all taken to the West Market at noon the next day and beheaded in public. More than 200 bald monks all had their heads chopped off.
But this move frightened many of the kidnappers.
You know, monks had a very high status in the Tang Dynasty. But suddenly more than two hundred monks were killed, and they dared not commit crimes anymore.

At the same time, the story of Fahua Temple was also spread by word of mouth among the people of Chang'an, causing them to say, "Good job killing, those bald donkeys deserved to die."

Yuan Tiangang, the number one charlatan in the Tang Dynasty, saw that the time had come and began to have those storytellers start telling stories in the major restaurants and teahouses. In short, the prestige of Buddhism among the people of Chang'an suffered another severe blow.

There are also temples in Chang'an City, but the temples at this moment are different from usual. In the past, they were crowded with people, but now they are deserted.

Unconsciously, more than ten days have passed.
Zheng Zhengjin was as idle as ever.

Sometimes, Zheng Lingling would be sent to Prince Xian's residence by her elder sister to play for a day, and then be picked up in the evening. Zheng Zhengjin was happy with this.

After all, he really didn't like anyone disturbing him while he was enjoying his grape feast.

But Zheng Lingling's elder sister and mother had not allowed Zheng Zhengjin to meet them. Although Zheng Zhengjin was curious, he did not go so far as to investigate them.

Feng Deyi was under house arrest by Li Shimin during this period. He was extremely uncomfortable in the mansion and had to copy the Tang laws.

However, the most painful thing was not just that. Feng Yandao's kneecap was shattered, and he was doomed to be disabled for the rest of his life.

Every time Feng Deyi went to see his son, Feng Yandao would yell, "Father, help me get revenge, help me get revenge, I want that woman to live a life worse than death. Life is worse than death."

Seeing his son in this state, Feng Deyi said lovingly, "Don't worry, he's just a zither player. Aye will take care of this for you. I guarantee that it will be done properly."

Feng Yandao still couldn't let go of the hatred in his heart for the broken leg. He wanted to cut Yutou into pieces.

Feng Deyi was also very angry. He was actually confined to his room for half a month. By the time he entered the court again, all the affairs in the court would have been interfered with by others.

That day, Li Shentong arrived at Zheng Zhengjin's house. In the front yard, in the living room, Li Shentong was drinking tea and said with a smile: "Good boy, you are the idle king, you are worthy of being the idle king!"

Although Li Shentong was an undefeated general, he was now the Prince of Huai'an. But not only that, he still had official duties, but Zheng Zhengjin was a real idle prince.

"Haha, King Huai'an, stop joking. I am really lazy." Zheng Zhengjin said.

"You are going out of the city tomorrow too, right? Li Jing and Li Ji's army have returned to the capital, capturing so many people. They also brought back Empress Xiao of the Sui Dynasty and Princess Yicheng." Li Shentong really didn't expect that the Turks would suffer a huge loss this time.

"Li Jing, of course I have to go out of the city to welcome you. After all, you have made a great contribution this time." In fact, after Zheng Zhengjin left Qingcheng Mountain, the two people he wanted to see most were Wei Zheng and Li Jing. One was known as the No. 1 troll in the Tang Dynasty, and his name will go down in history; the other was known as the god of war, and was as famous as the god of killing Bai Qi, the immortal soldier Han Xin, and the god of war Huo Qubing. Of course, Li Jing had to take a good look at them.

"It is said that Li Jing allowed his subordinates to rob the people in Dingxiang City. What do you think about this?" Li Shentong said with a smile. "Li Jing is a sensible person. He is afraid that if he has made too many achievements, His Majesty will not give him the opportunity to lead troops to fight. So I personally think that the robbery of Dingxiang people may have happened, but it must be Li Jing's self-pollution." Li Jing led the troops and his subordinates followed his orders. Who would dare to make such a mistake? If Li Jing was not afraid of being too powerful and being feared by Li Shimin, he would not have acted like this.

Li Shentong smiled. He was actually asking on behalf of Li Shimin.
How could Zheng Zhengjin not know this? All he had to do was ask him to give some evaluation of Li Jing.

"Then how do you think your majesty should deal with Li Jing's matter?" After all, it is a foregone conclusion that he allowed his subordinates to rob the people of Dingxiang City, so he must be punished. But the credit for taking Dingxiang City this time is also huge.

"Reward if there are merits, punish if there are mistakes, there is no need to mention this matter again." He was quite interested in Li Jing's command of this battle. If there was a chance, he could consult him on tactical issues. Although he usually killed alone, it would be a good thing to learn more.

Also, when the time comes, I will give Li Jing a small gift.

When the old man and the young man drank together in the living room of the Prince Xian's mansion,
Li Shentong was also drunk and went to the palace. He told Zheng Zhengjin's evaluation of Li Jing in the imperial study.

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Okay, thank you, Uncle Wang."

Li Shentong waved his hand and left.

At the beginning, Li Shimin could be said to have saved Li Jing's life. After all, Li Jing was almost beheaded by Li Yuan.

It was Li Shimin who protected him.

But in the end, when the Xuanwu Gate Incident happened, Li Jing chose to remain neutral. He was just like that and didn't like to take sides, because once he failed to take sides, he might face an abyss.

After Li Shentong left, Zheng Zhengjin stood under the eaves and sighed, "Ah."

Li Leyan came over and took Zheng Zhengjin's hand and said, "What's wrong with you, husband?"

"I was just wondering, if Han Xin, Marquis of Huaiyin, had a brain like General Li Jing, would he have died of old age? Well, with Liu Paopao's personality, Han Xin would never have lived to die of old age." Zheng Zhengjin sighed.

Li Leyan smiled slightly and said, "Father is not a person like Liu Paopao. Don't worry, husband."

"Hey, even if he wants to, he can't do anything to me." Zheng Zhengjin gently scratched Li Leyan's nose. The skin on her face was white and rosy. After this period of nourishment, the complexion of the ladies in the family became better and better, with a kind of charming tenderness in them.

"Husband, have you met Ling'er's mother?" Li Leyan asked, changing the subject.

Zheng Zhengjin replied in surprise: "I have seen him once. What's the matter?"

Li Leyan smiled and asked, "Husband, do you think Ling'er's mother is beautiful?"

Zheng Zhengjin shook his head and said, "She is the same as the elder sister who always sends Ling'er to the mansion. She wears a hood. I don't know how to get away with being pretty. Why are you asking this?"

"Ahem, I'm just curious, just curious." In fact, Li Leyan and the others had asked Ling'er. She didn't have an Aye, so she wanted to ask her husband whether to have a concubine or something. After all, the four of them were a bit too strong. And she asked her husband when he would take in the three maids together.
Zheng Zhengjin's original words were: "We'll talk about it later."
