Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 420
The fact that the envoys didn't carry their scepters meant that today's affairs were not state affairs, but were discussed on a case-by-case basis.

Li Shimin specially reminded Liu Mu that he should let Liu Mu know how to measure.

After Liu Mu entered the palace, he sat on his own floor mat, and then saluted Li Yuan: "Father, my son is preparing for the New Year's Eve banquet. I don't know why my father called my son to order."

Li Yuan didn't speak, but stretched out his hand to indicate that the representative of Fanseng could appeal.

Sinhala, the national teacher from Wuzi country, got up and saluted Li Yuan first, and then said: "I want to ask, why are monks enslaved in many places north of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty?"

Liu Mu sat there without moving, his eyes staring straight ahead.

The Tai Chi Hall was extremely quiet. The important ministers of the Tang Dynasty came to uphold justice today. It can be understood as the grand jury of later generations, and Li Yuan is the chief judge.

Seeing that no one spoke, Sinhala said again: "Honorable Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty thought that monks were being enslaved in many places, and the little monk learned that it was under the jurisdiction of Prince Liu."

"Me!" Liu Mu pointed at himself, and then asked: "Slave monk, no!"

Even Fu Yi couldn't keep calm about Liu Mu's answer. It's so obvious that 10,000+ monks are working as coolies for you. You actually said that there is no slavery. For another reason, even if you want to go to war, you can't answer like this.

Sinhala was not angry or anxious at all, and immediately asked: "Tens of thousands of monks are doing hard labor to build rivers and roads, can this happen?"

"Yes!" Willow replied generously.

"Isn't that considered slavery?"

Liu Mu got up, and walked in front of Xiao Yu a few steps: "Mr. Xiao, I ask you to help explain the word slavery."

Xiao Yu didn't understand what Liu Mu meant, but even if he believed in Buddhism at the moment, he would definitely agree with the foreign monks from the Western Regions.

"According to the new code of the Tang Dynasty, a slave is a slave, and a slave is a drive. Slavery should be interpreted as a drive that is treated like a slave." Xiao Yu gave a fair explanation.

Liu Mu asked Sinhala: "I don't know if you can agree with the interpretation of this word."

"Approval."

"Well, these people are not slaves, because the laws of the Tang Dynasty did not define him as a slave. And I gave them winter clothes to keep warm, enough food to eat every day, medical treatment for work-related injuries, overtime rewards, and even New Year's Eve Reward. So I don't understand, the word enslavement . . . are you insane."

Two days ago, it was normal, and Liu Mu cursed viciously at the last sentence.

That's not all: "Old guy, my son-in-law is very busy. In the time you breathe out, my son-in-law will earn tens of thousands of dollars. You actually delayed my son-in-law's time because of such a trivial matter."

"You, you broke my disciple's leg."

"Do you understand what a restricted area is? My place, my restricted area. There is a gold medal from the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Even if the officials of the Tang Dynasty want to enter, they must have a sacred order. If it is not because they are here to visit the envoys For the sake of it, I will hang their heads on the tree." Liu Mu stared at Sinhala fiercely.

Sinhala was a little guilty when he saw Liu Mu's eyes, he was a little scared.

Compared with Datang, he is more afraid of uncontrolled lunatics like Liu Mu. Liu Mu's eight hundred killing gods are already a legend in the Western Regions, a legend like a nightmare.

"Whisper, this is the Tai Chi Hall. I called you here for reason, not for quarreling. Any inappropriate remarks will be severely punished." Li Yuan blamed Liu Mu.

Sinhala hastened to express his thanks.

Then Sinhala said to Liumu: "Then, you always have the reality of driving the monks to work. Isn't it?"

"No, according to my laws of the Tang Dynasty, Ding must be a laborer. For the labor owed by the temples, I did not let the old monks work, and secondly, I did not let the young monks work. And I spent money to get it from various prefectures. The number of servants, how can there be such a thing as coercion."

Sinhala is a bit confused, because monks from various countries are tax-free.

"Do you think that if you enter the temple, you don't have to abide by my laws of the Tang Dynasty?" Liu Mu asked with a smile.

"No, each temple should abide by the laws of the country where it is located." Sinhala gave an affirmative answer on this point.

Liu Mu came in front of Liu Zhenghui: "Liu Shangshu, I privately made armor in the Tang Dynasty, and half a pair of armor was exiled for three thousand miles. I kept a pair of armor privately and was exiled to the army for three years. I remember correctly, my junior."

"No."

Liu Mu came to Sinhala again: "Do you know how many armors were found in each temple? Do you know how many people should be beheaded and how many people should be exiled in the Tang Dynasty?"

"This..." Sinhala was stopped by the question.

At this time, another monk stood up: "There should be a temple guard in the temple to protect ourselves!"

"Where did you come from?"

"Master Gao Jing, King Kumolun."

"What did you mean just now that the temple is higher than the law of the Tang Dynasty? Or, is there any instability in the Tang Dynasty that requires us to keep weapons and armor for self-protection?" Liu Mu asked back.

"Don't dare!"

"My Tang Dynasty has already released them leniently. We only confiscated weapons and armor, made up for the number of service workers, and confiscated illegal property. Expulsion..."

When talking about the word expulsion, Liu Mu approached King Kumolun: "Are you sure that those individuals are monks? Or, if they shaved their heads, they are monks. In other words, when a temple gate was opened, someone said He's going to be a monk, and then a monk?"

"No." Sinhala went on to say a lot of rules and regulations.

Liu Mu laughed: "There are still a few temples in the south of Chang'an City. My opinion is that those people should be tested one by one. Anyone who is not suitable will be beaten to death immediately. Isn't pretending to be a monk a blasphemy to your Buddha?

"I think that when taking the test, since the Buddha came from the Western Regions, then please ask a few eminent monks to write the questions." Fu Yi jumped out at this time, but he knew that few bald thieves in the Tang Dynasty were really proficient in Hu Fa .

Liu Mu stepped forward at this moment, and took out a thick stack of papers from his backpack.

"Saint, the laborers have been making trouble recently. This is their submission. Erchen is a very fair person. They can raise their opinions and adopt reasonable suggestions. Sixteen of them have pressed tens of thousands of fingerprints. I will pick two copies for you to read."

"Read!" Li Yuan agreed.

"In the first one, more than 7 people who registered their fingerprints agreed with this suggestion. They demanded that there be meat in the meals. Because the Taoist work area will have meat every three days, the monk work area is extremely dissatisfied."

"Bastard..." Li Yuan was furious, no matter what it was like before, no matter what the Western Regions were like.Monks in the Central Plains are forbidden to eat meat. Since Emperor Wudi of Liang Dynasty, all monasteries have forbidden eating meat.

When everyone thought that Li Yuan was angry with these monks, Liu Mu hurriedly gave a big gift: "I was convicted, but I didn't explain it clearly. I didn't treat every laborer fairly, so it caused dissatisfaction and some Chaos, my son is willing to be punished. My son promises that such a thing will not happen again."
