However, no one noticed the look of ridicule in Lee Shimin's eyes when he spoke.
Guanyin nodded at Lee Shimin before stepping onto the lotus throne, disappearing from the throne room.
After Guan Yin left, Lee Shimin's expression suddenly darkened. He coldly snorted and said, "The Buddhist Sect is truly rude. If they were to rise up in this tribulation, who knows what kind of disaster they would cause!"
With that, Lee Shimin looked down at the ministers below him. His gaze fell upon the two tall and thin scholars who were emitting a faint spirit energy. He said in a deep voice, "Wei Zheng, Faang Xuanling, listen up!"
"This official is here!" The moment Lee Shimin finished, the two people walked out of the line and said respectfully to Lee Shimin.
"Wei Zheng, go to the Fa Hua Temple immediately and ask our foster brother to come and find me in the royal study," Lee Shimin looked at Wei Zheng and said in a deep voice.
"This humble subject accepts the order!" Wei Zheng nodded at Lee Shimin and said respectfully.
"Faang Xuanling," Lee Shimin's gaze fell on Faang Xuanling, "Immediately send someone to invite the high monks in the Tang Dynasty over to Chang'an, arrange for them to enter Hong Dian Temple."
Hearing Lee Shimin's words, a light flashed across Faang Xuanling's eyes.
Hong Dian Temple, was the same as the Big Hong Si in the Han Dynasty, they were in charge of matters related to foreign clan and vassal states. Lee Shimin's intention for him to arrange those esteemed monks in the Hong Dian Temple was self-evident!
This Emperor King of Tang had completely categorized Buddhism as a heretic and an alien!
The reason why they had placed those esteemed monks in the Hong Dian Temple was because they wanted to seize this opportunity to beat them up. They wanted them to be more obedient and not daydream!
As for who Seeker of Scripture was, Faang Xuanling already had a plan in mind.
"This humble subject accepts the order." Faang Xuanling nodded at Lee Shimin and smiled, "This humble subject will not disappoint His Majesty."
Hearing Faang Xuanling's words, Lee Shimin knew that his right-hand man understood what he meant. He smiled and said softly, "Then I will be waiting for my beloved one."
With that, Lee Shimin looked at the servant beside him and said lightly, "You may leave the court."
"Withdraw —"
The attendant beside Lee Shimin shouted loudly after hearing Lee Shimin's words.
The court officials quickly left the throne room. Lee Shimin followed the guards and left for the imperial study.
Not long after Lee Shimin had arrived at the royal study, Wei Zheng brought a seven feet tall young monk wearing a gray robe with nine rings on his head and entered the royal study.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness has been invited by this subject." Wei Zheng bowed towards Lee Shimin and said respectfully, "This humble subject will take his leave first."
"Go ahead." Lee Shimin waved his hand, then looked at the young monk and said with a smile, "I don't need to be cautious. Today, I invited you here because I have something to discuss with you."
"Brother, is it about the matter of the buddhist faith?" The young monk smiled and said to Lee Shimin: "Guan Shi Yin, Bodhisattva has entered the Chang'an. I have also heard of such a huge matter.
"I'm afraid that only that Guanyin Bodhisattva and the buddhist sects behind him can cause you to be so afraid of me, if you were to urgently find me at this time."
"You guessed right," Lee Shimin nodded, got up and walked to the door of the imperial study, looked around to make sure that no one was listening in, then said to the young monk: "I plan to use this opportunity to break up the Buddhist Sect!"
