Chapter 267: Becoming a Monk and Escaping the World

Dongyang became a monk, which opened the precedent of the Li Tang royal family, and from the founding of the Tang Dynasty to the present, Dongyang is the first princess to become a monk.

Naturally, this matter caused a lot of discussion in the DPRK and China.

There is a lot of gossip behind the scenes, but on the Golden Palace, the courtiers are singing praises, and Her Royal Highness the princess prays for her father to accumulate virtue and become a monk, which is really a benevolent and filial piety, and should be praised.

The hall was full of praise, but Li Shimin's face was extremely gloomy, and the courtiers were all discerning, and when they saw that the emperor's face was wrong, they stopped talking and didn't say anything more.

After dispersing, Li Shimin returned to the dormitory and somehow became furious, and the eunuch standing at the door was smashed on the head by the vase he threw out, and the blood flowed all over the ground, but he was so frightened that he didn't dare to move, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to confess.

Dongyang's request for a monk Li Shimin had already been approved, and the officials of the Ministry of Industry led the craftsmen to Taiping Village to begin to survey the environment of the princess's mansion and consider how to transform this mansion into a Taoist temple.

On the second day of the approval of the recital, Dongyang entered the palace alone, in addition to thanking his father, by the way, he also worshiped Shilang Li Chunfeng as a teacher of the Taishi Bureau.

Li Chunfeng, the legendary all-knowing Taoist priest, has been intelligent and studious since childhood, well-read, proficient in astronomy, calendar, feng shui, yin and yang, and is the most famous Taoist priest in the Zhenguan period.

The apprenticeship ceremony is very formal, Dongyang put on a brand-new plain Baiqu Taoist robe, the cloud-like black hair is draped and then pulled into a Taoist bun on the top of the head, fixed with a jasper hairpin, and transformed, it is the image of a stunning Taoist aunt, kneeling in front of Li Chunfeng three kneels and nine bows, and in front of the Sanqing statue to worship incense, leave a roster, and make a degree.

Li Chunfeng looked at Dongyang, who was absolutely colorless and plain. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, in fact, he was very reluctant to accept such a female apprentice, Li Chunfeng was proficient in physiognomy, and he could see at a glance that Her Royal Highness the princess was still in the dust, and there were still thousands of feelings lingering between her eyebrows, condensing but not dissipating. There are inextricable links with the dust, from the above table to ask for a monk, to the emperor's majesty, the whole process seems to be a joke, the person who says it is relaxed, and the person who is allowed is also happy, and the father and daughter are angry when they come and go.

Li Chunfeng couldn't help but sigh heavily, if ordinary people dared to take out the family and enter the Tao like this, he would have been cursed to death by drawing countless small circles. Where is this kind of monk, it's just a change of lifestyle when life is on vacation, one day Dao Gu is tired of it, and then say hello to him lightly, don't do it, it's vulgar, he still has to make a set of vulgar ceremonies to send Her Royal Highness the princess back to the world......

The princess has not broken the dust, but the princess who has not broken the dust is also a princess. After Dongyang officially performed the apprenticeship ceremony, Li Chunfeng did not dare to take out the master's shelf. was so polite that he almost knelt down for Dongyang.

The apprenticeship ceremony is very complete, but there is an awkwardness from the beginning to the end, Li Chunfeng sat upright, read a few sentences of "Lao Tzu", and explained it word by word, barely the master taught the newly accepted apprentice.

The word-for-word commentary of "Lao Tzu" is not disorganized. There is attention to detail inside. Li Chunfeng's father, Li Bo, was a former Sui official, self-named "Huang Guanzi", because of the officialdom, he abandoned the official and became a Taoist priest, and the greatest achievement in his life was to annotate "Lao Tzu". The few sentences that Li Chunfeng read to Dongyang were the contents of his father's commentary.

After the master and apprentice exchanged salutes, Li Chunfeng pondered for a long time, and immediately gave Dongyang a Taoist name, named "Xuanhui".

************************************************************

"Li Su, Princess Dongyang is a monk, do you know?"

Wang Zhi hurried back to Taiping Village from Chang'an City, pulled Li Su under the locust tree at the entrance of the village, and asked urgently.

Li Su looked indifferently at the few dead branches on the crown of the old locust tree, nodded and said, "I don't know, but I can vaguely guess what she will do." ”

Wang Zhi was dumbfounded: "You didn't stop her when she became a monk?" ”

Li Su smiled bitterly: "She is too tired to live, it is a way to become a monk, if she is not a monk, she is still the identity of a princess, and the troubles in the future will be one after another, and every trouble may kill her, although the Gao family has dissolved the marriage contract, but she is still unmarried, today she has found a way to deal with the Gao family, and tomorrow she may have to deal with the Wang family and the Sun family who come to ask for relatives, so repeatedly, annoying, do we rely on the trick of pretending to be a ghost every time to deal with the past?" ”

When Wang Zhi heard this, his expression was thoughtful, and after thinking about it, he finally reluctantly admitted that in the current shape, Dongyang monk may be the easiest and most effective way to avoid trouble.

Li Su sighed: "If you leave home, you are not a princess, so you will jump out of the five elements, and from then on you can exchange for a peaceful and peaceful life, even if the courtiers want to marry the royal family, the idea will not hit a monk, Dongyang's decision is not a way to protect herself, so even if I know her choice, I will not stop her......"

Li Su said, with a weird smile on his face: "Dongyang is not stupid in the end, the monks have laid the groundwork, I chose Taoism instead of Buddhism, the multiple-choice questions are done right, Taoism is the most easy-going, it is easy to get in, it is easy to come out, plus her princess status, it can be described as extremely free, if the situation takes a turn in the future, there is still a front between me and her, and it is easy to ......take off the Taoist robe."

Wang Zhi was silent for a moment and asked, "When will you and her have a turnaround?" ”

Li Su looked up at the sky and sighed: "I don't know, in this year, the emperor is bigger than the sky, and no matter how strong he is, he can't compete with him after all, but...... After all, I have to have strength, if one day I am so strong that he has to face me squarely, and has to seriously consider the possibility of me and Dongyang, I must be stronger than I am now. - I set a goal for myself, three years, and after three years, if she and I don't have a turnaround, even if I risk losing my head again, I will artificially create a turnaround. ”

Wang Zhine said: "Actually...... Li Su, my brother and I have always felt that you should not be a child of a peasant family, really, your appearance, your temperament, your ability...... You are very different from the children of the peasant households, standing with them, no matter how you look at it, you are like the grandson of a rich and noble family. ”

Li Su was still staring at the sky in a daze, and his face suddenly showed a contradictory expression intertwined with high-spirited and ridicule.

"I think my name may go down in the history books, and it's a big touch! To put it mildly, this is all forced out by human feelings. ”

…………

Countless craftsmen were stationed in the Princess's Mansion and began to work on the Princess's Mansion. A few months later, there was no longer a princess's mansion here, but a Taoist temple filled with incense and evening drums and morning bells, and the people living in it were no longer the princess of Dongyang, but a beautiful Taoist aunt named "Xuanhui".

The mansion is still the same mansion, and the person is still the same person. One qiē doesn't seem to have changed, and one qiē seems to have changed.

The princess's mansion was rebuilt, and Dongyang temporarily returned to live in the Jingshu Hall of Taiji Palace, and Li Su could only bury his thoughts deep in his heart.

It's strange, what did he do with her in the year he was with her? Why is it in a hurry that a year has passed?

The most urgent time in life is always the best time.

In the middle of winter, when the first crystal white snowflakes fall from the sky. The greens in the greenhouse are ripe.

Picking 50 acres of green vegetables, hiring dozens of idle laborers in the village, each person pays three cents a day and then takes care of a meal by the way, the strong laborers are like making a windfall one by one eyebrows and smiles, in the cold weather of heavy snowfall, they do not want to come out of the warm greenhouse for half a day, and 50 acres of green are only picked in just three days.

Hills of green vegetables piled up in the front yard of Li's house, and the villagers stared at them with wide eyes. Although they knew that the Li family had grown green vegetables, these were really in front of them. It still amazes everyone.

Cucumber, Kunlun purple gourd, mustard greens...... All kinds of vegetables are green and oily, and they are tender from the inside out, and the heavy snow in the sky is intertwined into an unheard of contradictory spectacle.

Li Su is very generous, and everyone who comes to the house to watch the excitement is paid. Each person sent a handful of green vegetables to take back, not too little, Xi Zizi ran home as if holding the ancestral tablet, and could eat the green vegetables grown in the field in winter, I am afraid that even the emperor Xià did not have this treatment. It's a great blessing to get a handful.

Guanzhong people are sincere, not only easy to be content, but also know how to cherish blessings.

The remaining green vegetables are still piled high in the yard, leaving a small part to be sent to each family in the village, and a large part is classified, purple gourds and cucumbers or something are put together in a pile, and Wang Zhi hired a few ox carts from the village to load the green vegetables, and Li Su jumped on the wheel and drove to Chang'an City.

The first family doesn't think about it, it must be the Cheng family, the old rascal takes good care of him, but he doesn't have a big heart, if he knows that the first one is not the Cheng family, I am afraid that if he gives a gift, he will send a grudge.

On the other hand, among all the famous generals and elders, only Cheng Yanjin loves him the most, if there is really a difference between relatives and relatives, Cheng Yanjin is undoubtedly the dearest.

**************************************************************

The snow fell heavily, the sky was white, and the icy snow particles mixed with the cold wind blew people so that they couldn't open their eyes.

The road into the city is covered with a thick layer of snow, and there are few pedestrians and horse-drawn carriages on the road.

Li Su took an ox cart out of the village and found that he was looking for abuse, and the green vegetables could be delivered any day, why did he choose to be in this ghost weather?

Since he went out, he was not too embarrassed to retreat, Li Su had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask the old man who drove the ox cart in the village to continue to hurry, watching the old man squinting his eyes against the wind and snow, and the old face was frozen red, Li Su couldn't bear it, so he happily added another fifty yuan to him.

Today's journey into the city was particularly difficult, the flat road was wet and slippery, and the ox cart was difficult to navigate in the wind and snow.

It took an hour on weekdays, but today it took more than two hours to see the towering city wall of Chang'an.

After entering the city, Li Su let the ox cart go straight to Chengfu, and after the Cheng family servant passed the word, it didn't take long for a burly and stout figure to jump out, turning into a cloud of black smoke like a million troops directly taking the head of the enemy, and then Li Su felt that his body was light, his feet were off the ground, and the whole person was like a piece of freshly smoked bacon, swaying in the air......

"Wahahaha, the little bastard hasn't seen you for many days, it's hard for you to remember the old man, come in with the old man, don't talk nonsense first, do three bowls of wine and then talk to the old man for a short ......"

Li Su was carried in mid-air by Cheng Biting Jin, and the familiar experience made him simply give up the struggle, arched his hand very resignedly, and saluted Cheng Biting Jin with a very ethereal posture like a fairy.

"Boy...... The kid met Uncle Cheng, Uncle Cheng was polite, this ......"

"Don't give this sour gift to the old man. Sit high in the hall, drink wine in a big bowl and eat meat to see me, and if you make this kind of false trick, the old man will kick you out! ”

"Yes, Uncle Cheng......" Li Su was humble, seeing that Cheng Biting Jin was going to carry him to the front hall. Li Su finally didn't calm down.

Baba rushed into the city on a snowy day, he didn't die for drunkenness, the Cheng family's wine was like a dream of yellow sorghum as soon as he dipped his glass, and he was drunk for half his life.

"Slow, Uncle Cheng, slow! Brat...... The boy is not drinking today, I am here to give a gift to the uncle, look, the gifts are ready, ...... behind the boy"

Li Su hurriedly pointed to the ox cart behind him to explain. Cheng Biting Jin turned his head and found that the ox cart was full of loads behind him, he finally had a little interest, so he put down Li Su and slowly walked to the ox cart to take a closer look.

Very strange expression, send him a cart of green vegetables in the winter, even if he is not ecstatic, at least he should be a little happy. It shouldn't be the hesitant look of now......

"This gift ......," Cheng Yanjin groaned.

Li Su was stunned: "Uncle Cheng is not satisfied? ”

"Satisfied, satisfied......" Cheng bit Jin lovingly stroked the top of his head and said with a smile: "It's rare for a baby to have filial piety." Merely...... You give gifts too openly, but if you hide your deeds a little, the old man will quietly slaughter it today, and we will eat a meal of beef, but you will drive it into the city brightly, so many pairs of eyes have seen...... Eating cattle has broken the law in these years. Those who want to eat lawsuits, alas! ”

After Cheng Yanjin finished speaking, he reluctantly touched the head of the cow in the trailer, and smacked his mouth, looking like the beef in his mouth had wings and flew away.

"Huh?" Li Su was stunned. This...... Which channel did the old rascal tune his brainwaves to? Why is communication so difficult?

"Cheng, Uncle Cheng...... The thing that the kid gave you is not a cow, the cow is here to pull the cart, and the things on the cart are the ones that the kid gave you. Li Su was frightened and stammered to explain.

"Oh? Didn't the cow give it to the old man? Cheng Yanjin's eyes seemed to be a little disappointed.

"No, not really!" Li Su replied very seriously, he couldn't help but be serious, in case this old rascal really ate this cow, he would be involved in a lawsuit.

"Oh, look at what's in the car......" Cheng Yanjin was a little unmotivated, and glanced at it casually: "Green vegetables?" Haha, what a little baby, if you really planted it, it's a good thing and a happy event! ”

Turning around, he suddenly yelled at the door of the mansion: "If you don't die inside, get out of the old man, go and move the green vegetables off the car, be careful!" In the cold winter, green vegetables are more expensive than your little life. ”

Li Su was relieved, this is what a normal person should have, and the green vegetables that he has worked hard for two months can't be exchanged for a disgusted expression, right?

Cheng Biting Jin looked at it for a while, and saw that the green vegetables were growing lush and lush, green and tender, and he was happy in his heart, so he really got up and pulled Li Su to the house.

"Come on, hurry up and give the old man a banquet, eat green vegetables at the banquet today, call out the six little bastards who are not successful, and give the Li family a few bowls of wine!"

Li Su's face is white, and the green vegetables have moved in the door, why are you still drinking?

I deeply hate my lack of memory, why do I break into this Longtan tiger's den every time, and I break through again and again......

Dragged by Cheng Yanjin, Li Su staggered and couldn't help but step into the threshold of Cheng's house, and just took a step inside, Cheng Yanjin suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at the cow outside the door reluctantly.

"Little baby, isn't that cow really for the old man?"

Li Su shook his head quickly and firmly, this is a matter of principle, and it cannot be ambiguous at all, and if it is ambiguous, it will lead to a lawsuit.

Cheng Yanjin stared at him for a long time and grinned: "Don't make trouble!" Let's be honest, the cow must have been given to the old man, right? ”

"Uncle Cheng,...... Not really. Li Su gritted his teeth and said categorically.
