Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Ministry of Industry.

When Pei Xingjian told Du He about the Dali Temple's search and discovery of the golden pillow in Huichang Temple, Du He's face became extremely strange.

Du He asked curiously, "Shou Yue, among the 75 temples that violated the Tang Code, isn't Huichang Temple included?"

"Why did the Dali Temple find the Huichang Temple?"

Because Bian Ji is assisting Master Xuanzang in compiling "The Great Tang Records on the Western Regions", Du He will not touch him for the time being.

Unexpectedly, when the people from the Dali Temple were investigating these temples, they involved Huichang Temple.

Pei Xingjian said helplessly: "When the people from the Dali Temple were investigating the Qingchan Temple, a high monk who had committed a capital crime, in order to save his life, revealed that there was a golden pillow in the meditation room of Monk Bianji."

"The golden pillow can only be used by the royal family, so the people from the Dali Temple did not dare to be careless and immediately searched the Huichang Temple."

So that's what happened.

Du He nodded slightly.

However, once this news gets out, I'm afraid it will involve something serious.

With the ability of the Dali Temple, they will definitely be able to find out that the golden pillow was a gift from Princess Gaoyang. What will be lost then is the reputation of the royal family and the Fang family.

Princess Gaoyang's personal maid probably wouldn't be able to survive either.

Du He thought to himself, "It seems that this time, Bian Ji has to die."

Only if Bian Ji died would this matter become an unsolved injustice.

When the time comes, I will find a suitable reason to explain this matter.

As for whether the officials believe it or not, it is of no importance.

As long as the historian doesn't write nonsense, everything will be fine.

Just then, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door.

"Knock knock knock."

There was a quick knock on the door, and soon Xiao Kai's anxious voice was heard.

"Du Shangshu, Fang Yiai wants to see you."

"He looks anxious. I'm afraid he has something urgent to discuss with you."

Currently, only a few people know that Gao Yang has an affair with Monk Bian Ji, while Xiao Kai, Cui Shenji, Wang Jingzhi and others are also unaware of this news.

So Xiao Kai didn't know the inside story.

Du He said softly, "Doctor Xiao, please bring General Fang in."

"promise."

Xiao Kai responded and then left quickly.

Pei Xingjian knew that Fang Yiai came here to deal with the matter of the golden pillow, so he stood up and said.

"Minister Du, I will take my leave first."

Du He shook his head and said, "Shou Yue, you stay and listen together. Maybe I'll ask you to do something later."

Now that Monk Bian Ji has been appointed as the person to compile the book, if the Fang family wants to take action against him, it would be better if Pei Xingjian could assist them.

Moreover, during this sensitive period, the assassination of the eminent monk Bian Ji from Huichang Temple was no trivial matter.

"Okay!" Pei Xingjian nodded and then sat down.

After more than ten breaths.

Fang Yiai strode in. He glanced at Pei Xingjian, then walked up to Du He and whispered.

"Brother Du, my father asked me to come here to ask for something!"

The expression on Fang Yiai's face was full of complexity.

"Keep the promise and close the door."

After Du He asked Pei Xingjian to close the door of the room, he whispered to Fang Yiai.

"Are you here for the matter of Bian Ji?"

After hearing Du He's words, Fang Yiai knew in his heart that Du He had already known about the matter between Gao Yang and Monk Bian Ji.

But he was not too surprised because his father had already told him about this before he came.

"Yeah." Fang Yiai nodded with a flushed face.

He said with a stern look on his face: "Brother Du, my father said that this scandal cannot be exposed. We need to deal with it before the Dali Temple finds the bald monk Bian Ji."

"Because Bianji the Bald Monk is being sent by you to assist Xuanzang in compiling the Great Tang Records on the Western Regions, my father asked me to come and tell you something."

In the past, he tolerated the existence of the bald donkey Bian Ji in order to curry favor with Gao Yang.

Now that he has changed his allegiance and attached himself to the promising prince, he no longer needs to be servile and submissive to Gao Yang.

Besides, Gao Yang is pregnant now, so she can't let the bald monk Bian Ji stay.

Although relying on the power of the Fang family, it is entirely possible to eliminate Bian Ji secretly.

However, in order to give Du He face, Fang Xuanling still sent Fang Yiai to say hello to Du He.

Du He asked softly, "Brother Fang, Bian Ji is only helping to write the book, he is not indispensable. There are plenty of replacements in Hongwenguan and Chongwenguan."

"I'll let Doctor Pei assist you, but you have to do it cleanly."

Seeing Du He nodded in agreement, Fang Yiai said gratefully.

"Thank you!"

He clasped his fists towards Pei Xingjian and said, "Doctor Pei, thank you for your help."

Pei Xingjian said quickly: "General Fang, there is no need to do this. I am also under the orders of Minister Du."

Hearing Pei Xingjian's words, Fang Yiai's expression changed slightly.

However, he did not say much. Instead, he said hello to Du He and quickly left the Ministry of Works with Pei Xingjian.

...

The next day.

A meeting of hundreds of officials.

The atmosphere in the court today seemed a little weird, and the eyes of civil and military officials were always inadvertently focused on Fang Xuanling.

After the heads of various departments had finished their reports, Sun Fuga, the Minister of the Dali Temple, stood up and began to speak.

"Your Majesty, when our Dali Temple was investigating temples that violated Tang laws, we found a golden pillow in Huichang Temple!"

"After examining the golden pillow, I concluded that it was used by the princess."

hum~

A low voice of discussion suddenly rang out in the Tai Chi Hall.

Although civil and military officials had heard the news before, it became a big deal when Sun Fujia brought it up in the Taiji Hall.

"Oh!"

Li Shimin slammed his hands heavily on the armrests of the Hu chair and said in a cold voice.

"Which monk owns the golden pillow?"

"Which princess's house is it from?"

Seeing Li Shimin's extremely serious expression, Du He raised his eyebrows slightly.

"It's a very good performance."

Du He sighed in his heart.

If Li Shimin didn't know that Princess Gao Yang was having an affair with Bian Ji before, it would be understandable, but there was no reason for Li Shimin not to know that Princess Gao Yang was pregnant during this period.

Sun Fujia replied: "According to Master Daohong of Qingchan Temple, the golden pillow belongs to Bian Ji of Huichang Temple."

"As for which princess's mansion it came from, I have not yet asked Bian Ji about it."

Li Shimin frowned.

After more than ten breaths of silence.

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "Sun Fujia, bring Bian Ji to Taiji Hall immediately. I want to interrogate him personally!"

what?

Bring him to Taiji Hall for interrogation?

Isn't Your Majesty afraid that Bian Ji will tell the truth in front of all the civil and military officials?

While all the civil and military officials were confused, Li Shimin, Du He, Fang Xuanling, Pei Xingjian and others looked extremely calm.

"Sir, obey the order!"

After Sun Fujia bowed, he quickly left the Taiji Hall with Xin Maojiang, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple.

While waiting, civil and military officials looked around and communicated silently with their eye contact.

More than half an hour later.

Sun Fujia came in in a panic and reported: "Your Majesty, Bian Ji is dead!"
