Section 97: On the People and on the Buddha

Wang Wenbin looked at the person coming. He was walking like a dragon and a tiger, with a good aura. The person following him had an elegant temperament. He knew at a glance that he was not an ordinary person. He couldn't help but stand up and waved to Zhao Daqing, indicating to him to wait a moment, and then looked

The visitor asked, "I wonder where this gentleman's words come from?"

Although Li Shimin is a descendant of Taoist Laozi, he is not unfavorable to Buddhism. People who have done bad things since ancient times have always needed psychological comfort. This comfort comes from religion, which is also called comfort and self-regulation that make people feel numb.

"I'm just a passerby. I was watching a show on the stage when I saw this monk arrested by you. I don't know what crime he committed. You want to humiliate him like this?" Li Shimin's words made Fang Xuanling roll his eyes.

, Brother, your words must be believed. If you, a passerby, go to the county office to accuse the county magistrate of handling the case, if you follow the rules, you will be pulled out and beaten first.

"Passing by?" Wang Wenbin looked at this person more like he was visiting privately incognito. However, it was impossible not to let him show up. As a county magistrate, he also needed to save face.

"Yes." Li Shimin stood there like Mount Tai, not saying much, with his hands behind his back and looking at Wang Wenbin.

"I am the county magistrate of Jiulipu. I am in charge of everything here on behalf of the imperial court. I do everything in accordance with the law. Don't you think it's ridiculous for a passer-by to come over and question me?" Wang Wenbin looked at Li Shimin with feigned dissatisfaction and said.

, if you don’t show up, I will squeeze you to death.

"You!" In Li Shimin's eyes, an official like the county magistrate is really not an official because he is too young. When he led the army and swallowed thousands of miles like a tiger, he would never have thought that he could be defeated by a county magistrate.

.

"What am I? This officer sees you committing this crime for the first time, so I won't care about it any more. You go out first. If I still have something to do, I won't accompany you." Wang Wenbin secretly laughed in his heart, I think you are still pretending to me?

"Presumptuous." A guard suddenly came over, looked at Wang Wenbin and yelled angrily.

"What, are you going to beat me? You are just a guard. Why, is there such a law in the Tang Dynasty?" Wang Wenbin glared at the guard angrily, then looked at Zhao Daqing and said, "Captain Zhao, now take this person away."

Go down, if anyone dares to stop you, report it to the Songzhou Prefecture Yamen for record."

"Yes, sir." Zhao Daqing said and was about to take action, but was stopped by Li Shimin. He looked at Wang Wenbin and said, "My lord, county magistrate, what do you think this is?"

Wang Wenbin smiled secretly and said, what can you have?

As a result, as soon as he saw the sign, he knelt down and said, "This is His Highness the King of Qin. I would like to see the King of Qin live a thousand years."

Zhao Daqing was about to take action. When he heard the county magistrate's words, he also knelt down, and then the rest of the people also knelt down.

Li Shimin took the sign back into his arms, then sat in the lobby, looked at Wang Wenbin and said, "See clearly? Is this king passing by?"

"See clearly, see clearly, Your Highness is indeed passing by." Wang Wenbin wiped his sweat and thought to himself, it's really bad. I heard that His Highness King Qin is here, but who would have thought of coming to such a place, but before

He remembered what Ye Tan said to him better, so he was not particularly afraid, so he stood up slowly and said, "I wonder what your Highness' orders are when you come here?"

"That's what happened just now. Tell me, why are you so judgmental?" Li Shimin looked at him with blazing eyes, ready to use force if he disagreed.

"Your Highness, this is it." Wang Wenbin was still a little undecided whether to say it or not, a little hesitant.

"Don't worry, as long as what you say makes sense, I won't pursue anything." What's the name of Li Shimin's wife, Guanyin? She has a very good feeling for Buddhism, and although this Huicong is a bit wretched, but White Horse Temple

This is no joke, it belongs to someone who has a broken ship and three pounds of nails.

"Thank you, Your Highness, I will say it then." Wang Wenbin wiped his sweat, then looked at the people kneeling on the ground and said.

"This case is very simple. Someone beat someone and then broke other people's things. Is there anything wrong with the judge's decision?"

Li Shimin originally wanted to wait for Wang Wenbin to say some good words, preferably some quotations from scriptures, but he didn't expect that Wang Wenbin would just say one sentence, which made him stunned for a moment, and then said angrily, "But he is a monk. How can a monk be like an ordinary person?"

Like people?"

Li Shimin's words are not empty words, but the truth. Too many times, monks and ordinary people are really different, and the forces they represent are not the same. Unfortunately, Wang Wenbin has been brainwashed by Ye Tan,

Ye Tan once said that you should be good to the people below you. If you are not good to them, then how will you be your county magistrate in the future? Does a county magistrate who is not supported by the people still want to have a future? Of course

La, this sentence is a bit biased. Sometimes you just need to please the emperor and scholars.

"Your Highness, in front of the laws of the Tang Dynasty, there are only the emperor and his subjects. There are no monks or non-monastics. As long as they are still living in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, they must abide by it." Wang Wenbin's words made Fang Xuanling's eyes sparkle. This man

He is a good official. But Li Shimin's face is full of colors, very ugly, and you can tell from his look that he may explode at any time.

"You don't believe in Buddhism?" Li Shimin's words came out of his nose, which showed the anger of the other party.

"I believe in the Master, your Majesty, the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and the people. I don't believe in anything else." Wang Wenbin said this slowly but firmly.

"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" Li Shimin's words were a threat, but Huicong laughed proudly.

"I'm afraid, but I'm even more afraid that I won't be able to sleep in the future." Wang Wenbin's scholarly style and scholarly character are clearly revealed.

"You..." Li Shimin's state really frightened Fang Xuanling. He was worried that he would suddenly become violent and kill Wang Wenbin. People who have fought a lot have this problem.

"Haha, okay, okay, okay, Wang Wenbin, you are really a good official." Li Shimin's expression was a little distorted, and he didn't know whether he was really happy or fake. After saying this, he looked at Zhao Daqing on the side and said, "Okay.

Why don’t you quickly arrest this monk who is causing harm to the country and the people?”

Zhao Daqing was a little speechless at this time. Who am I listening to? But Wang Wenbin's words made him understand clearly, "Take it away."

After Huicong was pulled away dumbfounded, Wang Wenbin walked up to King Qin Li Shimin with some resentment and saluted, "Your Highness, why do you need to play tricks on me?"

"Respect your superiors without humiliating your inferiors. It seems that I have gained a lot from this trip to Songzhou City." Li Shimin happily patted the table and said, then looked at the time and asked, "County Magistrate Wang, what am I doing now?"

I want to eat braised pork, do you have it here?"

Wang Wenbin was stunned for a moment, then looked at him and said, "Your Highness, you don't know what that thing is used for..."
