When Li Shanchang heard this, he immediately felt that there was something fishy about this matter. His pupils shrank slightly, and he asked with deep meaning: "Who told you about Jiaofangsi?"
Yan Guan let out a heavy breath and replied in a deep voice: "No one told Xianguan that someone stuffed the letter into Xianguan's sedan before the court this morning."
Stuffing letters into the sedan before going to court?
This time card is really accurate, Li Shanchang couldn't help but think. No wonder he didn't communicate with himself, it was probably too late. And he was also quick-tempered and didn't think twice about getting the news. Thinking about whether there might be any problems in this, I impeached Han Du in the morning.
This is really like being used as a gunman without even realizing it.
But strictly speaking from a duty perspective, he really didn't make any mistakes. It is the duty of the censor to supervise the censor after hearing the news. It is reasonable for him to impeach the emperor in court after getting the news.
Li Shanchang really couldn't punish him on this basis. Otherwise, it would be Li Shanchang who broke the rules.
"Go down. If you encounter something like this in the future, be sure to inform me in advance."
...
Han Du returned to Jiaofangsi, and his face was not very good all the way. Today's impeachment Han Du clearly felt that a storm was about to come. Although he successfully passed the impeachment, Han Du couldn't help but think carefully, who was in trouble with him?
Han Du thought about it and finally looked in the direction of Tianjie Temple. It must be that the monk had trouble with him. Although Tianjie Temple is definitely not the only one who has issues with Han Du. But who told them that they had recently had a grudge with themselves? Who didn't suspect them?
Moreover, Yao Yue is still living in Jiaofangsi. If the nun hasn't given up yet and wants to take Yao Yue away, naturally what she wants to do most is to get herself out.
If not them, who else could it be?
Since others have attacked him, Han Du will naturally not sit still and wait for death.
Han Du made a random guess, but he didn't expect that he got it wrong.
In Tianjie Temple, Zong Lai heard the news of Han Du's impeachment. He quickly ordered his disciples to find Hui Xin.
"Junior sister, was it your idea to impeach Han Du?"
Huixin did not hide anything, and said with a sneer: "Senior brother can watch the master end the inheritance, but I can't do it. Isn't Han Du just relying on the chief executive of the Jiaofang Division to stop me time and time again? Then let him go. , let’s see how he can stop the poor nun.”
Zong Lai almost fainted after hearing this. As a monk, you can interfere in the court affairs if you want, and impeach anyone you want to impeach. It would be fine if the emperor didn't know about it. Once the emperor knew about it, it might lead to death.
As a monk, what do you want to do by interfering in government affairs like this?
Therefore, Zong Lai asked angrily: "Junior sister, do you know the consequences of doing this?"
"Consequences?" Huixin chuckled and said, "Then they have to know what happened before we can talk about the consequences. Don't worry, senior brother, no one will know that it was a poor nun who did it."
Zong Long silently glanced at Hui Xin. This junior sister of hers was really stupid and naive. No, it should be said that she has not seen the dangers of the world, and is too confident that she does not know how high the sky is.
Zong Long knew how terrifying the emperor was, even though the emperor valued him very much, but even so, Zong Long had never done anything out of line in front of the emperor.
As a junior sister, I have been spoiled since childhood. I have never experienced any setbacks and have developed a character that does not take anyone seriously. Unfortunately, how did she know that Han Du was so easy to impeach?
"So, why do you think of asking someone to impeach Han Du?" Zong Ai asked in a deep voice.
Many officials quit after being impeached, and many even went to jail. But that's because they are already at the point where they want to get out or go to jail, and impeachment is just the beginning.
Zong Li glanced at Huixin and couldn't help but sigh. The role of official impeachment was really not as great as she imagined.
Besides, is Han Du so easy to impeach? Although Zong Long only met Han Du once, he clearly felt that the emperor really trusted Han Du. It is simply a fantasy to try to impeach someone trusted by the emperor with the impeachment of an official.
Unfortunately, facing Zong Li's question, Huixin just glanced at him and didn't even bother to explain.
Facing the unreasonable junior sister, Zong Lai could only sigh deeply in his heart, lowering his head and thinking about how to deal with the matter.
...
Since he believed that Tianjie Temple was causing trouble for him, Han Du was polite to them. The next day, Han Du ran to Lao Zhu.
"Why are you asking about Li Xiucai?" Lao Zhu frowned and couldn't help but wonder.
Of course, Lao Zhu was confused. However, he still told Han Du that Monk Zong Lai wanted to expand Buddhism.
After hearing this, Han Du had a smile on his face. He turned to Lao Zhu and said, "Your Majesty, do you still remember the last time Wei Chen talked about the temple property?"
Of course Lao Zhu remembered it, but he glanced at Han Du and asked doubtfully: "You are not still thinking about it, are you still thinking about it?"
Of course, Lao Zhu did not want too many temple fields in temples all over the world. With the lessons learned from Emperor Wu of Liang and the Hou Jing Rebellion, it was impossible for Lao Zhu, who was familiar with history books, not to know the dangers of Buddhism.
Unfortunately, there was a hurdle that Lao Zhu had to overcome no matter what. That is, he once devoted himself to becoming a monk in Huangjue Temple, so he could impose some restrictions on Buddhism. For example, the Senglu Department was established to manage Buddhism all over the world, and the stipulations were issued strictly, and temples were not allowed to ordain people privately.
But if we have to take away the temple's property, that would be going too far. Do we still need the gift of mercy?
Han Du smiled and said nothing.
Seeing this, Lao Zhu took a deep look at Han Du and said, "Don't do this nonsense."
Han Du shook his head and explained: "Wei Chen just wants to give it a try. Maybe it will work."
Lao Zhu was silent for a moment, waved his hand and ordered: "Step back, I won't let anyone know that you have been here today."
After hearing Lao Zhu's words, Han Du left with satisfaction. Han Du didn't ask for much in the first place, but now that Lao Zhu could stand by and watch with cold eyes, it was considered to be in line with Han Du's wishes.
As soon as he returned to Jiaofangsi, Han Du asked someone to find Nanny Li.
"Sir, are you looking for me?"
Han Du nodded and said, "The last time I asked you to arrange things for a storyteller, you said there was one who did it well. What was his name?"
"My lord, his name is Chang Hao." Nanny Li said without any hesitation.
"Chang Hao..." Han Du touched the name, raised his head and ordered to Aunt Li, "Go and find him now. I have something to ask him to do."
