Setting fire is a serious crime that is parallel to murder. Although the fire set by Li Jin and others only burned the front hall of Lingyan Temple, the impact was still quite large. In just one night, the whole of Chang'an was discussing this matter. At the court meeting the next day, several censors also wrote the matter into memorials and participated in the charges of Li Xiu and others acting like a crime. In addition, the ministers of Dali Temple also reported that Lingyan Temple had sued Li Jin and others and asked the court to severely punish the murderer who burned Lingyan Temple.

For such a big thing, Li Shimin couldn't openly favor his nephew Li Jin and others. So after the morning court, Li Shimin issued an order to ask Li Xiu to take Li Jin and several other noble children involved in the case to summon them into the palace.

Li Xiu was not surprised when he received the news that Li Shimin summoned him to bring Li Jin to the palace. After all, he and Ma Ye had guessed yesterday that they would go to the palace today. After all, such a big thing happened, and it involved the sons of important officials such as Li Xiu, Cheng Yaojin, and Qin Qiong, even Dali Temple, and they dared not easily interfere in Dali Temple, so Li Shimin would naturally make a decision in the end.

"Let's go, let's go into the palace!" Li Xiu asked someone to call Li Jin, then yawned and sat down the carriage that had been prepared.

"Father, why do you look so haggard? Didn't you sleep well last night?" Li Jin also got on the carriage at this time, then looked at Li Xiu in surprise, but he saw that Li Xiu's eyes were red and his face was very tired, as if he hadn't slept all night.

"It's all for you!" Li Xiu said at this time that he gave his son a blank look. He wrote in the study all night last night to solve the problem of Buddhism. In his opinion, Li Jin and other children were doing small fuss. Yesterday he told Wu Mingkong that he wanted them to see his methods. This was not a joke.

"Father, I heard Mingkong say this morning that you are going to teach the bald thieves in Inspiration Temple a lesson. Are you preparing for this last night?" Li Jin was also very smart. When he thought about what Wu Mingkong said to him today, his eyes lit up immediately.

"Look at your promising moment. Didn't you still have Mingkong's anger yesterday? Why did you disappear in one night?" When Li Xiu heard his son mention Wu Mingkong, he couldn't help but smile. Although Li Jin seemed to be very angry with Wu Mingkong yesterday, Li Xiu saw the two of them walking together again this morning, which made him sigh that his son was really boring.

"A man, of course, must be tolerant. Yesterday, Mingkong apologized to me, but I did not forgive him immediately. This morning she personally made breakfast for me. I saw that she was sincere in her attitude, so I forgave her!" Li Jin raised his little face and tried his best to show his magnanimous appearance.

However, when he said this, Li Jin seemed to think of something again. He smiled and said to Li Xiu again: "But, Father, you hit Mingkong yesterday, the palm of your hand was too heavy. I looked at it today and there were still three red marks. Even if Mingkong used me, you wouldn't need to use such a heavy hand, right?"

"The little brat has learned to cherish her good deeds!" Li Xiu couldn't help but slam her son's head when he heard this, "I'm not trying Mingkong for you, but I'm afraid that she will use her intelligence and talent in the wrong place. Mingkong's talent is unmatched. If you do good in the future, you can naturally benefit one person. But if you do evil, the consequences are unimaginable, so I'm also the most important thing about her character. This time she can even use you, a friend who grew up with her since childhood. If you let go, even feelings will become her way to achieve her goal. Do you like to see such a Wu Mingkong who uses any means to achieve her goal?"

Hearing Li Xiu's description so severely, especially thinking that Wu Mingkong might become a ruthless person in the future and could take anything out for exchange, he couldn't help but shudder and said: "I don't want to, I will never let Mingkong become that kind of person!"

"It's good that you can have this kind of heart!" Li Xiu nodded when he heard his son's words. Then he thought of the Wu family and said again, "I think it's hard for Mingkong to survive the illness. You should also walk around Mingkong more during this period and talk more with her. In addition, if her father dies, I'm afraid her two half-brothers may bully their mother and daughter. If you encounter such a thing, just take action and teach me a lesson in the Wu brothers. I'll take care of you whatever happens!"

Wu Mingkong's mother, Yang, is the second wife of Wu Shi Ting. Wu Shi Ting and his early wife have two sons, namely Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang. They are much larger than Wu Mingkong's sisters, and these two brothers are not good at all and cannot inherit the talents of Wu Shi Ting. Instead, after Wu Shi Ting's death, Wu Mingkong and his daughter were driven out of the house. Finally, Yang sent Wu Mingkong into the palace, which led to the first female emperor in history.

"The two brothers from the Wu family are indeed not things. Now that Uncle Wu is not dead, they have already started to compete for family property. I have long disliked them. With your words from father, I will let go in the future!" Li Jin said happily when he heard Li Xiu ask him to help Wu Mingkong.

Li Xiu and his son were chatting while walking. When they arrived at the imperial city, it was almost noon. However, when they arrived at the gate of the imperial city, Li Xiu also saw Qin Huaidao and several other children standing there. In front of these children, there was a strong man like an iron tower, which was Li Shimin's beloved general Yuchi Gong.

Qin Huaidao and others who were friends with Li Jin were all behind the generals, and their fathers or grandfathers were usually guarding the country. For example, Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin are now cleaning up the remnants of the Dangxiang people, so it is impossible for them to come back because of this trivial matter. It happened that Yuchi Gong was in Chang'an, so several families entrusted Yuchi Gong to take these children into the palace to plead guilty.

"Your son-in-law, you are here. I have been waiting for a long time!" Yuchi Gong seemed to be waiting for Li Xiu here. When he saw his carriage, he immediately came forward and said, among the children behind him, there was a black and tall boy, who was carved out like the same mold as Yuchi Gong. It was his son Yuchi Baolin, and he was also the one who burned the Inspiration Temple this time.

"General Yuchi is polite, why don't you go in?" Li Xiu hurriedly got off the carriage and returned the courtesy. Li Jin met a group of little brothers and immediately started chatting happily, as if he didn't take the possible punishment to heart.

"I can't do it. I've found out before I came. A group of censors kept holding on to this matter, especially that old guy Wei Zheng, and they also wanted the bald donkeys from Inspiration Temple to confront the children in the hall. I can fight, but I can definitely not say that they are. Old Cheng is not here, and no one can help me. Fortunately, there is also a prince consort. Then you will go to deal with Wei Zheng's censors!" Yuchi Gong said the reason why he was waiting for Li Xiu here.

"Wei Zheng?" Li Xiu was stunned when he heard this familiar name, and then he couldn't help but frown. Wei Zheng is now the position of a counselor, and is a censor. He is a specialist in accepting counsel. He has the right to write letters and make suggestions in all matters in the court. This time, Li Jin and the others burned the Inspiration Temple, which was indeed a serious crime. No wonder Wei Zheng wrote the letter himself.

"Wei Zheng is not easy to deal with, but you don't have to worry about the old man Wei Zheng, but don't be afraid of the prince-consort. I have discussed this with other families before I came. This matter is your leader. At that time, our families work together. I really don't believe what Your Majesty will do to the children!" Yuchi Gong saw Li Xiu not speaking, thinking that he was afraid of Wei Zheng, so he spoke again. After all, Wei Zheng is famous for being difficult, and even Li Shimin is a little afraid of him. It is normal for Li Xiu to be afraid of the other party.

"General Yuchi, are you really going to listen to me?" Li Xiu asked with a smile when he heard this. Although Wei Zheng was difficult, he didn't care, because he had never thought of arguing with Wei Zheng.

"Of course, I'll be relieved if you have the prince consort in your decision!" Yuchi Gong patted his chest and promised that he was a stupid person and had some self-knowledge. Fortunately, there was also Li Xiu, a world-renowned erudite man, so he had already made a decision in advance.

"Since General Yuchi believes in me so much, I won't refuse. But when I see Your Majesty, General Yuchi must not speak randomly. Leave everything to me to deal with!" Li Xiu agreed with a smile, and then reminded Yuchi Gong that he was worried that Yuchi Gong would disrupt his plan.

"Don't worry, my son-in-law, I will pretend to be mute after I go in. I will never ruin your business!" Yuchi Gong immediately slapped his chest with a "bang bang". Li Xiu was a little scared when he looked at it. At the same time, he also felt that the picture looked familiar. It seemed that some kind of primate also liked to slap his chest with his front feet during demonstrations. With Yuchi Gong's head and skin color, it was really similar.

After receiving the promise from Yuchi Gong, Li Xiu reminded Qin Huaidao and others that he would just follow his orders after entering and do whatever they wanted, and at the same time, he would not talk nonsense. The children were also very convinced by Li Xiu and nodded in agreement at the moment.

At that moment, Li Xiu and Yuchi Gong took these children into the palace, crossing the first half of the imperial city, and further forward was the area of ​​the Tai Chi Palace. Li Shimin summoned them to the Tai Chi Palace, so the group came to the palace gate of the Tai Chi Palace, that is, when Chengtian Gate was about to enter the palace, they suddenly found that there were several monks standing in front of the palace gate, as if waiting for the call from the palace.

"Father, these are the monks from Inspiration Temple. That guy who is swollen into a pig's head is the Spirit Seal!" At this time, Li Jin pointed to the monks and introduced to Li Xiu. When he talked about the Spirit Seal, his little face also showed a little annoyance.
