"Zhi Nu, come to my father."

After hearing the footsteps, Li Er looked up and looked over. When it fell on Xiao Zhengtai, a hint of joy appeared on his cheeks and he quickly waved to him.

"Father, I'm so anxious to call my minister over, but what's the point?"

After seeing Li Er, Xiao Zhengtai became even more confused. His father's attitude did not look like he was asking for guilt. He really didn't know what to ask him to come over.

"Zhi Nu! Since the first time you have revealed your head in Xuanzheng Hall, your father has discovered that as long as you are there, there will definitely be problems.

Although the father believes in you, he also knows that you will never cause trouble. Often, those people take the initiative to come over and beat you up.

The things you did in the past were at least aristocratic families. They used strategies to plot against them for their wealth and had no psychological obstacles.

But this time my father has to say that you, it’s all right, why are you going to provoke the temple? Are they intruding on you?"

Speaking of this, Li Er's expression became serious. Whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, they are all outsiders and never participate in any struggle.

Therefore, no one has valued them in all dynasties, and no one is willing to offend them by taking the big fuss. Often, when dealing with them, if one is not good, it will leave itself a bad reputation.

Xiao Zhengtai has a special status and has made great contributions. He does not want such a trivial matter to affect Xiao Zhengtai's reputation. After all, in the future, he plans to hand over the Tang Dynasty to Xiao Zhengtai for management.

"The holy land of Buddhism? A man outside the world? Father, if these people really do this, how could the ministers seek their bad luck?

Using the Buddha's words and using the eternal lamp as a reason, the people are tempted to think that it was the Buddha's appearance, thus defrauding a lot of wealth. Shouldn't the ministers be in charge of such things?

What's more, the father's return in triumph this time was the honor that the soldiers worked together to step on the enemy's corpse and won in the sea of ​​swords and fire.

However, it was said in those temples that the reason why the father was able to win a battle was the blessing of the Buddha, so that the Tang Dynasty could achieve this victory.

It is precisely because of this incident that the Taoist temples in Chang'an City almost completely lost their foothold. Therefore, Taoist Master Yuan looked for his son, hoping that his son could help and protect his Taoist lineage. At the same time, he also promised his son that he would pay 70% of the incense money in the Taoist temple to the national treasury as taxes in the future."

His every move was simply too unconcealed by Li Er's suspicion. He could know these things, but he was not a little bit beyond his ability to talk to him for such a thing.

"There is something like this? And what's going on with that eternal light."

After hearing Xiao Zhengtai's explanation, Li Er frowned slightly. These monks were really too much. They led their own troops to fight. What a risk they took, and they finally returned in triumphant success.

But they never expected that those monks would take this honor so shamelessly on them, and then they thought of the scam of the eternal lamp, and looked at Xiao Zhengta in confusion.

"As the name suggests, the eternal lamp refers to the burning time that it is not easy to extinguish. The temple uses this method to deceive the pilgrims who come to burn incense, saying that the eternal lamp can represent a person's fortune, wealth, longevity, etc. As long as they are not extinguished, their fortune will not be extinguished.

The monk would ignite these eternal lamps and place them in stone towers or on ancient trees. Of course, the fees charged are very different from the top to the bottom.

Often, the price of an eternal lamp at the top, closest to the Buddha, is quite expensive, so my ministers really can't stand it anymore and don't want these scum to deceive my people in the Tang Dynasty, so they ordered their temples to be enclosed."

This is a complete scam, and he will never tolerate it. Even when facing his father, he still has no regrets at all.

"You have someone sealed the temple?"

Although it is very shameful to know that these monks’ actions are too shameful, Xiao Zhengtai’s actions are a bit too much. In order to make some money, it is understandable to use some extraordinary means.

If the censors in the court heard such news, they might jump out to impeach the little boy again. This made him very troubled. What should he say? How can he think about the consequences before doing things?

"Yes, all temples involved in the eternal lamp have been ordered to be seized. A total of tens of millions of taels of Tibetan silver have been seized and sent to the national treasury."

Xiao Zhengta grinned. He just sealed a few dark-hearted temples. As for showing off his face?

What's more, he got so much money at once, and it was as close to the tax revenue of the Tang Dynasty for one year before. Even if this old man didn't reward him, he would even dare to show his face to himself.

"Zhi Nu, are you doing this a little too much?"

Li Er frowned, and his heart kept moving about the process of things. No matter how he calculated, they would suffer such a catastrophe.

Xiao Zhengtai sealed their temples, but it was equivalent to cutting off everything from them. What should hundreds of monks do in the future? If it spreads, it may have extremely adverse consequences for the royal family.

"Does Father know how long a lamp can burn? But do you know what oil can ignite for years or even decades without extinguishing?"

Xiao Zhengta shook his head helplessly. He didn't want to tell this matter, but now it seems that it is not possible. The old man has begun to question his decision.

"Nothing, how could such a thing exist?"

Li Er didn't even think about it and refused. The royal oil lamps can be said to be the best in the world, but they can only burn for a few days, and then the burning materials will be added.

"Corpsy Oil Sky Lantern!"

As soon as the four words were spoken, Xiao Zhengtai clearly felt the momentum on his father's body suddenly surged.

Now there is a peaceful and prosperous era in Chang'an City, and the Tang Dynasty's laws strictly prohibit killing people. So the question is, where did these corpse oil come from?

Moreover, several temples launched such activities at the same time, and it was even more unknown how many eternal lamps were lit and how many corpses of people were required to satisfy the greedy desires of these monks.

"They dare to do this? They dare to play such a trick in front of me. It's great, it's really good. I pass on my will and exil these monks to the frontier and never leave for the rest of my life."

Li Er completely left a rampage. He finally understood why Xiao Zhengtai was so amazing. When he learned the truth, he felt that Xiao Zhengtai was so kind. For such beasts, there was no need to talk about human rights to them.

"Father is wise!"

Xiao Zhengtai quickly gave him a flattery. These monks have always been obsessed with wealth and prosperity. Killing them is simple, and it is too cheap for them. It may be the best punishment for them to make them struggle in such a harsh environment as the frontier.
