"I see you, Your Majesty!"
Li Shimin said: "Excuse me, gentlemen!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After all the officials sat down, Li Shimin said, "What do you want to play?"
The Chongxuan Department issued an order to get up and go out and said: "Qizou Your Majesty, I have received a joint letter from all the temples, and the abbots of 130 eight temples have signed on it, requesting your majesty to allow Buddhism to send people to Tianzhu to obtain scriptures. "
The Chongxuan Office was specially set up by the imperial court to manage temples and Taoist temples.
Whether it is a monk or a Taoist priest, there is no need to pay taxes.
In order to prevent too many people from becoming monks, the imperial court specially set up the Chongxuan Office.
As long as you want to become a monk, you must get the approval of the Chongxuan Department and register in the register.
"What do you think about this matter?" Li Shimin asked.
Back then, he did not agree to Xuanzang's memorial request, not because Taoism was the state religion.
His original intention was to limit the development of Buddhism.
Whether it is Taoism or Buddhism, Li Shimin does not want them to develop too much.
Seeing that the matter involved religion, everyone was unwilling to speak.
Whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, there are many believers among the people, and no one wants to cause this trouble.
Seeing that no one spoke, Li Shimin said, "Let me think about this matter, let's discuss other matters first."
Next, they talked about trivial matters, and Lin Xuan was not even interested in listening.
Last night, I got up too early in the morning, leaned against the pillar, and fell asleep without knowing it.
Wang Ze has been observing Lin Xuan secretly, thinking about how to add trouble to Lin Xuan, and he is very happy to see that he actually sleeps when he is in court.
After the minister at the top had finished speaking, Wang Ze couldn't wait to get up and said: "Your Majesty, I want to impeach the Marquis of Jingyang County, but I fell asleep in the early court. I really didn't take Your Majesty seriously."
Li Shimin looked at Lin Xuan's position and found that he had indeed fallen asleep, so angry in his heart.
"The Marquis of Jingyang County!" Li Shimin shouted.
Lin Xuan didn't notice anything, but Li Shimin's face darkened.
The minister sitting behind Lin Xuan quickly pushed Lin Xuan.
"Don't make trouble, sleep!" Lin Xuan muttered dissatisfied.
Li Shimin has black lines all over his head, what do you think of my Tai Chi Hall?
"Lin Xuan!" Li Shimin shouted loudly.
Lin Xuan was awakened by the sound, looked around, and found that everyone was staring at him, and the hall was silent.
Lin Xuan looked up, and Li Shimin was staring at him sullenly.
"Your Majesty of Jingyang County, you slept soundly. Would you like me to send you a bed?" Li Shimin said angrily.
Seeing Wang Ze standing, Lin Xuan guessed that it must be a moth made by him.Hearing Li Shimin's words, he quickly said: "Your Majesty, I was thinking about countermeasures just now, and I was fascinated for a while. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!"
Li Shimin didn't intend to do anything at first, but when he heard Lin Xuan's words, he was furious.
"Then tell me, what good countermeasures have you come up with?" Li Shimin said.
Even though he was sleeping, he still dared to fool him.
"This this…"
Lin Xuan didn't even know what to say, so there was no countermeasure.
"Why, can't you tell?" Li Shimin looked at Lin Xuan with a half-smile.
Lin Xuan was a little speechless. Lao Li looked like he was gloating.
"Your Majesty, it is disrespectful to His Majesty that the Marquis of Jingyang County slept during the court. If he refuses to admit it afterwards, it is the worst. I think that the title should be cut off as a punishment." Wang Ze said.
"My minister agrees!"
……
For a moment, more than half of the officials in the court voiced their approval.
"Fart, it's just such a trivial matter, you want to lose your title?" Cheng Yaojin said angrily.
"That's right, for such a trivial matter, the title will be cut, and the punishment is too heavy." Yu Chigong said.
Qin Qiong said: "Your Majesty, after all, Zichu is young and has just started going to court. It is normal to be rude. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
With a good relationship with Lin Xuan, they all offered to help.
"Several princes, sleeping in the court is considered a trivial matter? Then what is a major event?" Wang Ze asked.
Cheng Yaojingang wanted to speak, but Li Shimin waved his hand to stop him.
Li Shimin looked at Lin Xuan and said, "What do you have to say?"
"Your Majesty, I feel that it is very unreasonable to go to court at Maoshi." Lin Xuan said.
"Presumptuous, when to go to court is the ancestral system, how can you allow you to discuss it." Wang Ze said loudly.
"My lord, you said that going to court at Maoshi is an ancestral system. May I ask which emperor in the Tang Dynasty made this rule?" Lin Xuan asked back.
"This..." Wang Ze didn't know what to say for a moment.
The Tang Dynasty went to court at Maoshi, which followed the Sui Dynasty. What did he say?
Could it be said that the Sui Dynasty was the ancestor of the Tang Dynasty?
Wang Ze reacted quickly, and said, "It's been like this since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty at Maoshi. If you say it's not good to go to court at Maoshi, aren't you questioning the Supreme Emperor?"
What a big hat.
"Your Majesty, I didn't question the meaning of the Supreme Emperor. When I went to court, Your Majesty and all the ministers didn't have a good rest. After the court was over, I didn't need to go back to sleep. I won't deal with business until the afternoon. If that's the case, why not postpone the court If you spend enough time, if you have enough energy, you can deal with business directly after the court is over," Lin Xuan said.
People in ancient times didn't know what to think. They got up before dawn to go to court, and they had to go back to catch up on sleep after the court was over. Isn't this sick?
"Your Majesty, I think what the Marquis of Jingyang County said is reasonable. When I go to court every day, my head is not very clear." Cheng Yaojin agreed.
If possible, who wants to come so early.
It's just that this question has never been raised before.
Li Shimin was a little moved. If he could, he wouldn't have thought of it so early.
"Your Majesty, since ancient times, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty has always regarded respect, respect and diligence as his virtue. Those who came to the court early, the first thing to do is to be diligent. When the emperor ascended the throne, he often looked at the court with ignorance. Both Chinese and foreign countries rejoiced and hoped to achieve governance. If it is delayed, people will be suspicious. Fu Wang is still looking forward to this morning." Wei Zheng got up and said.
Lin Xuan rolled his eyes, but he had heard of Wei Zheng's name as a big fan, so he didn't want to mess with Wei Zheng.
Seeing Wei Zheng coming out, Li Shimin also had a headache, and said, "There is no need to talk about this matter."
"Your Majesty, Marquis of Jingyang County, you must be punished for sleeping in court," Wang Ze said.
He doesn't care whether the court time is changed or not, what he cares about is whether Lin Xuan will be punished.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Hou Dangchao of Jingyang County must be punished for sleeping!" the officials of the aristocratic family said in unison.
Li Shimin said: "Hou Linxuan of Jingyang County is sleeping in the court. I will be relegated to the uncle of Jingyang County to make an example to others!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lin Xuan said with a happy face.
The earl does not need to go to court. Lin Xuan thought Wang Ze was very annoying before, but now he finds it a bit pleasing to the eye.
People who don't know, looking at Lin Xuan's expression, thought it was a reward for him.
Li Shimin secretly thought it was not good, such a punishment was like helping Lin Xuan.
But what he said has already been said, and it is hard to take it back now.
"Scatter the court!" Li Shimin glared at Lin Xuan, waved his sleeves, and left directly.
"I'm waiting to send you to Your Majesty!"
……
"Zi Chu, don't think about it too much. Your Majesty has no choice but to restore your title to you soon." Cheng Yaojin patted Lin Xuan on the shoulder and comforted him.
"What! Uncle Cheng, you said His Majesty wants to restore my title?" Lin Xuan said in surprise.
Cheng Yaojin nodded and said: "Based on what I know about His Majesty, His Majesty doesn't want to punish you, but you have indeed done what you have done. With so many requests, Your Majesty can't do anything about it. Wait a while, Your Majesty I should find a chance to restore your title, don't worry."
Lin Xuan was in a hurry and asked, "Uncle Cheng, is there any way to tell His Majesty not to restore my title? I think the Earl is very good."
He was about to cry, just now he was happy to finally quit going to court, Cheng Yaojin actually told him that Li Shimin would restore his title to him, isn't he happy in vain.
Cheng Yaojin was taken aback, and said: "Isn't the higher the title the better? You shouldn't be mad, are you?"
He'd rather not have a high title, what a shit, and go to court every day.
"Uncle Cheng, I really don't like titles, an earl is enough." Lin Xuan said.
Cheng Yaojin was a little speechless, and said: "I can't do anything about it. You can think about it yourself, the old man will go back to sleep first."
Thanks to Violet under the Starry Sky, Lei Ge, and Youth Displaced for their monthly support.
