In March of the 14th year of Xiantong, Li Yi, the emperor of the Tang Empire, recovered from a serious illness, and Li Bao went to visit and found that Li Yi was haggard and even more haggard.

Li Bao was sad in his heart, worried about Li Luo's body, and showed his face.

Li Luo saw his worries and worries in his son's eyes. Immediately said to Li Bao: "Liulang, don't worry about me, although my body is getting worse day by day. But I can't die yet, don't worry. When I was in the house of the Sixteen Kings, your grandfather listened to the slander of traitors, how many people wanted to kill me and harm me, and I didn't survive the same? ”

Li Bao knew about Li Luo's experience, and that experience caused a great blow and psychological shadow to Li Luo.

After Li Yi ascended the throne, he was willful and greedy for pleasure. It was only because he was afraid every day when he was in the Sixteen Princes' Mansion that he seized the opportunity and opportunity to have fun and play.

It was just to compensate for the fright and anxiety he received back then, and to prove that he was no longer the prince who was at the mercy of others, but a powerful emperor.

In addition, during Li Yi's frightened life in the Sixteen Princes' Mansion, he learned to find liberation from the Buddhist scriptures. The Buddhist cycle of life and death has given him great comfort and temptation, and as long as he is pious enough in this life, he can continue to enjoy himself in the next life.

Now Li Yi is in good spirits, but his physical illness makes him even more eager to find solace in Buddhism. When he heard that the Buddha bone relics of Famen Temple had reappeared, the obsession in his heart became strong again.

Li Bao was not interested in this Buddha bone at all, thinking that the people of later generations could not bear to spit on Li Luo for welcoming the Buddha bone, so he tried to persuade Li Yi.

"My lord, this Buddha bone relic is a dead thing, if this thing really has divine power, then how can Famen Temple suffer from fire? And the former monks of Famen Temple have not seen immortality because of worshipping and guarding Buddha bones. Adults, please think again! ”

"Bastard, how can you be so disrespectful to the Buddha's bones?" Li Luo was very angry when he heard Li Bao belittle the Buddha bones so much. His chest heaved rapidly with irritation, and his face was red and swollen from panting.

After Li Luo finished training Li Bao, he suddenly felt a little distressed when he saw Li Bao's panicked look, after all, Li Bao had given himself too many surprises and comforts in the past time.

So Li Yi eased his demeanor and said to Li Bao: "You don't know, when I was in the Sixteen Princes' Mansion with Qiaorong, we chanted Buddha every day, Tongchang was born to the age of six, and he couldn't speak, we prayed to the Buddha every day, and I was pitiful to see that Tongchang was able to speak, and that day she opened her mouth to 'be able to live', and when Tongchang finished saying this, Lieutenant Wang came to the Sixteen Princes' Mansion with his people, and then I could ascend the throne as the emperor." ”

Hearing Li Yi say this, Li Bao knew that this fanatical believer in Buddhism would definitely put all the credit for Princess Tongchang's opening to speak and becoming a prophecy on the head of the Buddha. In this regard, Li Bao was speechless and could only be silent.

However, Li Bao learned from Li Luo that Concubine Guo Shu's maiden name, Qiao Rong. Such a beautiful name refers to a vicious woman, which is really "not worthy of the name".

Sure enough, Li Yi continued: "How can ordinary people comprehend the Buddha's intentions, so Liulang remembered that he must not say such ignorant remarks in the future." ”

Li Baowei promised and didn't dare to say more.

Li Luo's excitement today is very high, so he continued: "Last month, when I learned the news of Qiao Rongxian's death, my heart was like a knife, when I saw the tragic state of her death, her whole body was ulcerated, her bones were distorted, and her head and feet were almost entangled, and the only feeling I had at that time was that the Buddha must be punishing her. ”

Over the years, Qiao Rong has done a lot of vicious things, I don't care, as long as it doesn't go too far, I turn a blind eye, but the Buddha is fair, he watched Qiao Rong make a mistake, and then punished her, so that she suffered from a strange disease, and died tragically. If I don't cultivate the virtues of this life, I will definitely fall into hell in the next life.

Li Bao looked at the Tang Emperor with a pious face, it turned out that this emperor was not as mediocre and brainless as the history books of later generations said, he just spoiled Concubine Guo Shu too much.

It's right to think about it, young couples who share hardships and hardships naturally have deep feelings. But Guo Qiaorong's jealousy, coupled with Li Yi's indulgence, made her even more arrogant, not only poisoning many concubines, but also harming Li Yi who had lost her mother's care since she was a child.

What Li Yi didn't know was that the will of the Buddha in his mouth was actually Li Bao's will, and if he knew the truth, he didn't know how Li Luo would feel.

Since he couldn't persuade Li Yi, Li Bao could only say goodbye and leave, and Li Luo no longer kept him, and now the estrangement between father and son that had been hidden in Li Bao's deliberate flattery suddenly became obvious, making him and Li Bao very uncomfortable.

In addition, Li Luo's mind is now all on the Buddha's bone relics, which is a major event related to his next life, and he must not relax.

Li Luo greeted the edict of the Buddha's bones, and immediately attracted the persuasion of the ministers. The courtiers unanimously reasoned that this move was a waste of money and money, and there was a lesson from Xianzong's violent death after worshipping the Buddha's bones, and they all thought that this move was ominous. Li Luo's response was very simple, "I can see the Buddha's bones in this life, and I have no regrets when I die!" ”

Li Yi acted quickly, ignoring the boiling protests and exhortations of the courtiers, and on March 29, he sent the eunuch Ximen Junsui of the North Court of the Xuanhui Yuan to Famen Temple to take charge of the worship of the Buddha's bone relics. In the name of the outside world, it is to pray for the longevity of the Tang Dynasty by worshipping the Buddha's bone relics.

Since it is the relics of the Buddha that are worshipped, and it is the emperor's welcome, the objects required for the worship must be the top.

The whole thing of welcoming the Buddha's bones is extremely luxurious and wasteful, making curtains with exquisite jewelry, making incense carts with high-quality sandalwood, as well as umbrella covers decorated with precious flowers and treasures made of pure gold, etc., on the 300-mile road from the capital to Famen Temple, the traffic is busy, day and night are all the objects that deliver the Buddha's bones.

Of course, this money is easy to come by, all of it is the family property copied from the Yang family and his son and Guo Jingshu's family in the past year, Li Luo is rich in the treasury, and he will not have a headache with money. Just thinking that the more luxurious he is, the more he can show his piety.

The so-called good at the top will be very bad at the bottom. Since the emperor likes it, the people below like it even more, so a large number of officials have spent huge sums of money and also put on a show of enthusiasm for worshiping and respecting Buddha.

The lively scene in Chang'an City, among which the happiest are the two brothers Yuanren Mingde, the two Buddhas in Chang'an City, are the most enthusiastic about welcoming the Buddha's bones, and the most enthusiastic in front of Li Yi, of course, the two hosts have benefited more.

Yuanren and Mingde stayed in Beijing to sit in the town, and sent a grand delegation composed of worship officials Li Fengjian, Gao Pin Peng Yanlu, Ku Jiaqi Xunjing, Zuojie Monk Lu, Qinglan, Yan Chu, the first monk Che, Wei Ying, Master Chongqian, Yun Hao, Huihui and other eminent monks to serve as the advisors and cheering group of the Buddha bones in the west, and waited until everything was arranged before arriving outside Chang'an City.

On April 8, the 14th year of Xiantong, the Buddha bone relics welcomed the group to the city of Chang'an, and the Shence Army opened the road on the Vermilion Bird Street as a relying team, and the delegation of senior monks marched slowly behind the blowing, playing and singing.

The whole team stretched for nearly ten miles, and the crowds of people were crowded, vying to watch this once-in-a-century grand event.

Li Bao arranged for the Teaching Workshop Division and folk singing and dancing groups to perform singing and dancing programs in various places in Chang'an City, and the main performances were "Thousand Hands Guanyin" rehearsed by Li Bao and "Dance of the Four Barbarian Bodhisattvas" choreographed by Li Keji.

Li Bao and Li Keji were both busy for a long time because of this matter of welcoming the Buddha bones, and finally waited for the Buddha bones to enter the city, and Li Bao was able to breathe a sigh of relief. Now it seems that the work is well prepared, and they have also been praised by Li Yi.

After the entrance ceremony, Li Bao rode his horse to Anfumen, where Li Yi's welcoming ceremony was to be held. It was Li Bao who couldn't delay, but now Chang'an City was full of people, and Li Bao couldn't go fast, so he could only let the horse trot forward.

On the streets of Chang'an, I watched everyone from the high-ranking officials and nobles to the wealthy businessmen and ordinary people doing their best for the arrival of the Buddha's bones. He saw that the streets and alleys of Chang'an City were full of colorful sheds built by wealthy people.

In the streets and alleys, Li Bao also saw some monks performing "refining the top", the so-called "refining the top" is to burn the burning incense on the head with a burning plate, in order to express their devotion to the Buddha.

Li Bao also saw some scoundrels, and when the monk was "refining the top", he rushed up to tease them, and several scoundrels grabbed the monk's hands and feet and didn't let him move, so the monk was screaming and screaming by the incense.

All kinds of chaos are intertwined in today's Chang'an City, which just makes Li Bao, who is a clear-eyed person, feel helpless, but he can't get used to it and can't help it, he just hopes that this will end as soon as possible so that he can get a good night's sleep.

When he arrived at Anfumen, the team had not yet arrived, Li Bao nodded to the servants waiting here, and then met Li Keji, and he and Li Kejian divided labor.

The entrance ceremony was in charge of Li Bao, and Li Keji was in charge of the Anfu Gate here. Now that Li Bao has arrived, it means that the entrance ceremony was very successful, and Li Keji is not polite to Li Bao, and now the friendship between the two is very deep.

After waiting for a short time, the welcoming procession arrived, and the drums rang out in unison. Li Yi personally led hundreds of officials to greet the Buddha's bones, and in the face of this rare treasure through the ages, Li Yi shed precious tears. Then after some worship, the Buddha bones are welcomed into the Daming Palace for worship.

After everyone gathered around Li Luo and went to Daming Palace, Li Bao breathed a sigh of relief, facing the surging crowd, Li Bao smiled bitterly, and he turned around to find Ling'er and Hu Sanbao.

Now that the three of their master and servant have all recovered, Huang Donkey was also buried in the first village after Guo Jingshu died a few months ago, and Li Bao, Ling'er and Hu Sanbao were very sad about the death of Huang Donkey.

But the pain will eventually pass, and the days will always move forward, facing the unpredictable future, Li Bao will go through thick and thin.
