Primordial World: Marrying the Eldest Princess, the Jade Emperor Went Mad!

After once again pleading with Li Shimin to calm his anger, they each took turns reading the memorials.

After all, the current court of Great Tang was filled with outstanding individuals.

Every one of them was a famous powerhouse from history.

They naturally understood that Li Shimin's anger was just for their stance.

Meaning, "I've paid attention to this matter, and you must handle it properly."

After recalling whether they had done anything illegal recently, the officials.

Began reading with curiosity.

Gathering Incense and Fire in private? How could that big shot dare to play such a game?

After Emperor Yang of Sui's three campaigns against Goguryeo, and then the chaotic end of the Sui Dynasty, the situation was even more unbearable.

The current population of Great Tang had dropped to an all-time low.

To increase the population, not only Li Shimin but also all the court officials were racking their brains.

Now, someone dared to play this game and had even reported it to the court.

Were they looking for death, or death, or death!

"Your Majesty, leave this matter to Old Cheng! I will definitely chop off his dog head!"

Cheng Yaojin thumped his chest with a clanging sound like metal striking metal.

A phantom of a giant ox-headed monster, exuding a black and red aura, slowly appeared behind Cheng Yaojin.

BOOM!

A fierce and brutal aura emanated, its pair of blood-red ox eyes seeming to want to devour everything.

"Cheng Zhijie, how can you be so presumptuous in front of His Majesty?

Put away your Chaos Ox Magic Manifestation!"

A thin man, wearing a golden fish pouch at his waist and a purple goose-patterned official robe, shouted loudly.

"This is a minor court session. If this were a grand court session and you injured a court official with your aura.

I would definitely impeach you for acting recklessly and disrespecting the court!"

"Fang Xuanling, you... Your Majesty, this minister admits his guilt!"

Cheng Yaojin glared fiercely at Fang Xuanling, quickly retracted his manifestation, and pleaded guilty to Li Shimin.

Seeing this, Li Shimin rolled his eyes and snorted.

He knew that Cheng Yaojin stepping forward at this moment was to tell him not to get angry.

Although Wei Zheng's memorial included many investigation results.

It was only superficial. If they alerted the enemy, the person behind it would easily notice something was wrong.

This was also why Li Shimin discussed the matter in a minor court session.

If it were a grand court session, the news would spread throughout Chang'an in less than half a day.

"Enough, you are fined one month's salary. Do any of my esteemed ministers have any insights?"

Li Shimin did not pursue the matter further and instead looked at the assembled officials.

Those who could attend the grand court session were at least high-ranking officials of the third rank or above.

These officials might have their own thoughts, but most of them were not short-sighted.

Li Shimin believed they would not engage in private gatherings for Incense and Fire.

That's why he felt at ease revealing the matter directly.

"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance and cannot be decided lightly.

Moreover, most of what is written above is speculation and requires further investigation!"

As Prime Minister, Zhangsun Wuji was the first to step forward and reply.

Li Shimin nodded and continued.

"I have already ordered the Dushui Jian to investigate the specific details.

However, someone has discovered the phenomenon of private Incense and Fire gatherings within Chang'an's Pingkang Fang!"

Li Shimin suppressed his anger, and the officials' hearts sank.

At the same time, they all understood why Li Shimin was so furious.

These people had actually developed to the point right under Li Shimin's nose, yet the court had no awareness of it.

This was slapping Li Shimin in the face!

Last year, Shuoli Khan had forced Li Shimin to swear a white horse oath by the Weishui River.

Li Shimin considered it a great humiliation.

Now, someone was causing trouble in Chang'an city, wasn't this clearly another slap in the face!

"Fang Xuanling, I'll leave the matters around Chang'an City to you.

Wei Zheng, you go check out Qingshi Town in Qing Shui County. I have a feeling this matter isn't as simple as it seems!"

Li Shimin wasn't a fool. The person who discovered the problem must be from Qingshi Town.

Otherwise, if it were other places, it would just be speculation. Why was this particular place so clear?

That moniker, One-Eyed Wolf, was truly unpleasant.

"Your subject accepts the decree!"

Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng bowed respectfully and replied.

Afterward, other discussions arose in the imperial court.

"How have the disaster victims been settled this year due to the locust plague in Guanzhong?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty..."

In Zhao Family Village, Madam Zhou pulled the Village Chief aside.

"Old woman, can't you tell me whatever it is when we get back?

Can't you see I'm busy here? Go make sure the fertilizer is spread evenly over there!"

"Old man, I'm telling you..."

"What, they already... whimper.."

The Village Chief's old eyes nearly popped out as he cried out in alarm.

Then, Madam Zhou covered his mouth with her hand and whispered, "You old fool, keep your voice down. I brought you here to discuss it, didn't I!"

The Village Chief pushed Madam Zhou's hand away, gritting his teeth as he paced and muttered.

"I knew that brat would get into trouble. That kid never cared about etiquette or rules.

But that First Madam, she... isn't she a wife from a prominent family? Why would she also..."

Seeing the agitated Village Chief, Madam Zhou smacked him irritably.

"The First Madam is also a bit eccentric, and who knows if her status is even real.

The most important thing now is to handle this.

However, we definitely can't handle this without notifying the First Madam's family. What if her family disagrees!"

The Village Chief was also troubled. Finally, he clenched his jaw, stamped his foot, and said fiercely, "In that case, let's do it this way. I'll go notify the Old Master.

We'll handle their situation first, and then we can figure out how to deal with the Zhang family later, whether they want to fight or punish!"

The Village Chief walked back into the village with his hands behind his back, fuming.

As he passed by Chen Fan's house, he let out a cold snort.

"You scoundrel, hmph!"

Chen Fan, who was reading in the courtyard, looked up in confusion. He immediately became angry.

"What's wrong with this old man!"

Chapter Twenty-Five: Buddhism Emerges, a Demon Seeks Refuge!

At the Clear Water River Dragon Palace, a grand banquet was currently underway.

The Clear Water River Dragon King, Black Flood Dragon, sat in the secondary seat. At the head seat sat a monk.

"Master Huifa, please try this. It's a specialty aquatic product from my Clear Water River.

It has the effect of calming the mind, clearing the eyes, and promoting blood circulation. And this White Smoke Fruit..."
