Chapter 171 The Busy Left Prime Minister

Dali Temple.

Pei Zian hurried to the study and pulled Pei Deben up without caring that he was dealing with official business.

"Dad, something happened to big brother."

Pei Deben also knew that his daughter called him big brother, a title that belonged exclusively to Shen Wuming.

"What's wrong?" Pei Deben didn't care. He knew Shen Wuming's ins and outs.

He had personally given the sign belonging to Zuo Dutong, the Tiance Mansion's Anbu, to Shen Wuming.

"Don't be impatient. Sit down and talk slowly."

"Urgent," Pei Zian said anxiously, "The eldest brother was captured by the Yamen's police."

She hurriedly told the story, and Pei Deben raised his eyebrows slightly, and he quickly understood.

"I see."

After all, Pei Deben is the number one detective in Luoyang, so his reaction is naturally different from that of this little girl Pei Zian.

Shen Wuming neither revealed his identity nor took out the Tiance Mansion sign. There was no doubt that it was voluntary.

In other words, enter the game with your own body!

"I know about this. Don't worry. I will write to the prime minister and investigate the case myself."

Pei Deben comforted his daughter.

But Pei Zian frowned, "You are in such a hurry, why do you still write to the prime minister?"

"Can't we just bring him here? With your name, Jingzhao Mansion still dares not to let him go?"

It was obvious that Pei Zian also knew the power of his father, and Jing Zhaoyin would never dare to disobey him.

Pei Deben explained patiently, "Since I am in charge of the law, how can I not follow the rules?"

"Don't worry, nothing will happen to your big brother. I'll go to the palace and be back soon."

"Okay." Seeing his father's repeated assurances, Pei Zian let go of his hand with worry.

Pei Deben came all the way to Shangshu Province and met Zuopushe, the minister of the dynasty.

The prime ministers under the official system of three provinces and six ministries are not one or two people, but a group of prime ministers.

Today, there are five prime ministers in the court, the first two are the left prime minister and the right prime minister.

The formal titles are Shangshu Zuopushe and Shangshu Youpushe, and they are the left and right officials of Shangshu Province.

In addition, there are Zhongshu Ling from Zhongshu Province and two servants from Menxia Province, totaling five people.

"Lord Zuo Xiang."

Pei Deben came to the old man who was frowning and reviewing official documents, and cupped his hands with an attitude that was neither humble nor overbearing.

The old man raised his head and said, "Deben is here? What's the matter?"

"Something just happened."

Pei Deben briefly talked about Shen Wuming's case, and then said: "This case is related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries!"

"It may not be appropriate to just hand it over to Jingzhao Mansion. I want to take over this case."

According to regulations, Dali Temple handles major cases and review cases, and generally does not take the initiative to take jobs.

But after Pei Deben took office, he changed the past customs, and the Left Prime Minister became accustomed to this.

"That's it?"

Prime Minister Zuo waved his hand and pulled out a blank edict from the side, "Then you write it yourself and I will stamp it."

The procedure still needs to be done.

Especially since Pei Deben is a Legalist, he needs to abide by national laws, including rules and regulations.

After everything was handled, Pei Deben left in a hurry, returned to Dali Temple, and called his men.

"In another quarter of an hour, arrange for someone to go to Jingzhao Mansion to talk about Shen Wuming's case. I, Dali Temple, will be next."

After throwing the edict to his men, he walked into the study and looked at his unhappy daughter, "Don't worry."

"I just went to ask the prime minister for an edict, and I have already arranged for someone to pick up your eldest brother."

"Thank you, daddy."

Pei Zian's worries turned into joy and he smiled cutely.

Pei Deben chuckled, shook his head, and then sat in front of the chair and continued working.

…

Mr. Zuo Xiang continued to read the official documents, and a minister came in, "Sir Zuo Xiang!"

"This is the folder handed over by Tianshi Dao. It is very urgent and I want you to read it in person."

Lord Zuo Xiang couldn't help but frown. The affairs of Tianshi Dao were indeed very disturbing recently.

His Majesty has always wanted to let Tianshi Dao take over the court, but if this happens, the pie in the court will be divided.

Of course many people don't want to.

Even the left prime minister himself did not want people from the world to interfere with the court and felt repulsed.

But the strength of Tianshi Dao lies here.

Since the other party was on the hook, he didn't want to waste any time, so he could only reach out to take it and unfold it.

Then he looked confused, "Shen Wuming? Why is it him again?"

After all, Pei Deben had just left not long ago, and he would not forget this person even if his eyes were dim.

I thought it was just a small thing.

Unexpectedly, first it was Pei Deben, the minister of Dali Temple, and then Ye Qingcheng, the little Celestial Master of Celestial Master Tao.

Even if he brought one of them out alone, he would have to treat it seriously. Didn't he expect that both of them would submit letters at the same time?

At this time, another Lingshi came in, "Master Prime Minister!"

"This is the excerpt signed by King Changle, Duke Rong, Duke Huang, Duke Qi and others!"

"It says it's urgent and needs you to see it in person."

Master Zuo Xiang vaguely smelled something, grabbed it from his hand and opened it.

"Shen Wuming..."

at the same time.

There was another sound of footsteps outside, and Prime Minister Zuo's expression changed slightly. Could it be Shen Wuming again?

But when he looked up, he felt relieved.

"Master Taixue!"

Zuo Xiangpi smiled and said, "If you don't stay at your Imperial College and Confucian Temple, why did you come to my Shangshu Province?"

The Supreme Master chuckled, "I came here this time because of a child's matter."

"This child's name is Shen Wuming. He is the scholarly seed that my Confucian school focuses on cultivating. He was captured by your people."

"I'm here to ask for someone."

No matter how well-educated Zuo Xiang was, he couldn't help but change his face at this moment.

…

Xiangguo Temple.

Puxian Bodhisattva is meditating, and a question that Master Puzhao told him is still lingering in his mind.

That is the carriage problem.

If there are three children on one side and one child on the other, should the carriage be turned?

According to Master Puzhao, this is also a question asked by the Buddha himself.

As a Bodhisattva in the seventh realm of Buddhism, he could not give an answer at this time and thought for a long time.

I thought about it all the way from Wutai Mountain to Xiangguo Temple, and now I am still thinking about it these days in Xiangguo Temple.

Still no answer.

Whether you choose to turn or not, it goes against the Buddhist way of compassion.

"But since the Buddha asked this question, it must have a profound meaning and it is definitely not aimless."

Samantabhadra believed that Shen Wuming was the future hope of Buddhism and a born living Buddha.

Absolutely no bullshit.

Every sentence had a profound meaning. If he didn't understand it, it was definitely not Shen Wuming's problem, but his own problem.

"Senior brother."

Master Du'e knocked on the door, and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva came back from his trance and said, "Junior brother, please come in."

"Brother, Buddha has been arrested."

The Master of Fighting Evil never stops talking without surprising, but with just one sentence, the face of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva changes drastically.
