Chapter 833: Another Funeral
When Li Xiu's family came to the mansion to mourn, as soon as they entered the mourning shed, they saw Wu Mingkong, whose eyes were red and swollen, suddenly threw himself into Li Xiu's arms and cried bitterly: "Sir, father...... Father he...... Woo~"
Although Wu Mingkong is extremely smart, after all, she is only a child less than twelve years old, and she has followed Li Xiu's students since she was a child, the two are called teachers and students, but they are like father and daughter, at this time she suffered the pain of losing her father, and she naturally felt sad when she saw Li Xiu.
Li Xiu was also very sympathetic to Wu Mingkong's life experience, and gently patted her back at the moment and said: "Okay, Mingkong can cry out loud if you want to, but even if your father is gone, you still have a husband, and I will be your father in the future!" ”
Hearing Li Xiu's words, Wu Mingkong also cried even more sadly, Li Jin next to her wanted to comfort her, but she didn't know what to say at this time, and at this time, Princess Pingyang, Yi Niang, and Yuechan also stepped forward to talk to Yang, and there were also Yu Niang and others who also came to comfort Wu Mingkong, and finally let her slowly stop crying.
The news of Wu Shi Tong's death had just come out, Li Xiu was the closest to them, and they were also the first to get the news, so when they came here, there were no other guests for the time being, in addition to Wu Mingkong and Yang, there were Wu Mingkong's sisters and younger sisters, and on the other side of the spirit shed, there were Wu Shi Tong's two sons, that is, Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang's brothers.
The Wu brothers were born to Wu Shi Tong's ex-wife, and they have always looked down on the four Yang mother and daughter, before Wu Shi Tong died, they were already secretly preparing to divide the family property, and even wanted to drive the Yang mother and daughter out of the house, but now seeing that the relationship between Li Xiu's family and Yang's mother and daughter is so close, this makes their faces sink for both of them.
Although the Wu brothers have long known that Wu Mingkong is Li Xiu's student, but in their opinion, Wu Mingkong is just a woman, and following Li Xiu is probably just a show, but as soon as he arrived here today, Li Xiu said that Wu Mingkong would treat him as his father, if Wu Mingkong really became Li Xiu's daughter, then they would not say that they would drive the Yang family mother and daughter out, I am afraid it would be difficult to monopolize the family property.
However, although the Wu brothers were annoyed in their hearts, they didn't dare to offend Li Xiu on the surface, after all, let alone their brothers, even Wu Shi Tong was very polite when he saw Li Xiu before, so he hurriedly stood up to greet him at this time, Li Xiu didn't particularly embarrass them, don't look at the Wu brothers' age is not a few years younger than him, but he and Wu Shi Tong are equals, so the Wu brothers can only regard themselves as juniors in front of him.
At the moment, Li Xiu comforted Wu Mingkong a few words, and then he personally stepped forward to condole, speaking of the original Wude years, he once helped Wu Shi Tong to get the position of the Ministry of Works, and later Wu Shi Tong also returned the favor to him, but unfortunately later the Xuanwu Gate changed, as a result, Wu Shi Tong was demoted to other places, but his family also stayed in Chang'an, and also entrusted Li Xiu to take care of, since then, the two have rarely met again, and only before Wu Shi Tong came back to recuperate, Li Xiu only came to visit a few times.
Thinking of another old man who has been separated forever, Li Xiu couldn't help but feel quite sad, at this moment, he suddenly heard a commotion outside, and then saw Pei Lin also came to mourn with his family, speaking of which Pei Lin had already written to prepare to return to his hometown to retire, Li Shimin had already agreed, but because of the serious illness of the warrior Tong, Pei Lin postponed his return, that is, he was afraid that he would not have the opportunity to send the warrior Tong on the last journey, and now he finally caught up.
Pei Lian's face was also full of grief at this time, and he first said hello to Li Xiu, and then said a few words to the Yang and Wu brothers, and then stepped forward to offer condolences, and finally came to the side to talk to Li Xiu.
"Xinming is a few years younger than me, but I didn't expect to be one step ahead of me, and there is one less old man who followed the Emperor Taishang to raise troops, I'm afraid it won't be long before I will go underground to reunite with them!" Pei Lin sighed at this time, and the expression on his face became very low, he and Wu Shi Tong were both Li Yuan's most trusted people, and their friendship with each other was not bad, and now seeing Wu Shi Tong die, he naturally felt uncomfortable in his heart.
"Pei Gong mourns, Ying Guogong is working hard for state affairs, so he is seriously ill, Pei Gong only needs to relax his mood, and he will definitely live a long life in the future!" Li Xiu couldn't help but comfort when he heard Pei Lian's words, he had actually discovered that since Li Yuan quietly left Chang'an, Pei Lian's mood had become very low, and he was usually a little listless, as if he had lost something important.
"I don't care about a long life, it's just that my old friends are gone, it's really not interesting for me to stay here, and when Xinming's funeral is over, I will immediately go back to my hometown in Hedong, originally I also wanted to invite the horse to have time to go to Hedong to play, but now that you have entered the court, I am afraid it will be difficult to get out of the future ." Pei Lin shook his head at first, and then turned the topic to Li Xiu, although he was not in the court, but the news was very well-informed, and he had also heard about Li Xiu's plan to build a bank.
"Alas, people are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves!" Li Xiu didn't explain too much at this time, but said with a long sigh.
"But you're really generous this time, just because the monks of the Inspiration Temple provoked your son, you are going to destroy the entire Buddhist sect, and now that this matter has been spread, I'm afraid no one will dare to provoke your family in the future!" Pei Lin suddenly spoke again at this time.
"I don't want to destroy Buddhism, it's just to limit the development of their power, and not only Buddhism, Taoism is the same, in addition to Persian Zoroastrianism and other religions, all of which will be under the jurisdiction of the imperial court in the future, this matter has been handed over to Wei Zheng to do, he doesn't say anyone's feelings, and I don't know how much he can do in the future." Li Xiu said indifferently at this time.
In the past few days, there are only two major events in the court, the first thing is the death of the warrior Tong in front of him, and the second thing is the establishment of the Monk Daolu Division, Wei Zheng has obtained Li Shimin's holy decree, and then transferred a group of officials to form the Sangha Daolu Division, and began to check the number of monks and Taoists in the world, as well as the number of temples and Taoist land, and then register all of these, and wait until these preliminary statistics are completed, and then begin to carry out drastic reforms to Buddhism and Taoism, and then under the supervision of the imperial court, The power of Buddhism and Taoism will definitely be dealt a serious blow.
However, when thinking of the above, Li Xiu suddenly thought of Xuanzang, who personally sent the other party out of Chang'an, Xuanzang wanted to eliminate dissent between Buddhism and unify the power of Buddhism, so as to better educate the people. But when he came back, he saw that the power of Buddhism had withered, and it was destroyed at the hands of his friends, so he didn't know how he would feel.
