Pray for the construction of a Buddhist shrine for the eldest grandson, Li Shimin readily agreed without even thinking about it.

Because of the attachment to Taishang Laojun Li Er as the ancestor, the Li Tang royal family worships Taoism. But in the matter of praying for the eldest grandson empress, the Li Tang royal family obviously turned more to the Buddhists.

When Guy was in Jinyang in his early years, the eldest grandson was sick, and Li Shimin personally went to Shibi Temple to pay homage to the Zen master, and explained all the treasures and treasures, and made a wish for his wife, and the eldest grandson happened to be cured.

In the tenth year of Zhenguan, the eldest grandson Empress was infected with scabies and refused the crown prince Li Chengqian's amnesty to pray for her. Li Shimin immediately issued an edict to repair 392 ancient temples in the world to pray for the queen's blessing, praying for the welfare of the Buddhist family to bless his beloved wife, but unfortunately the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes.

Now, it has been nearly a year since the death of Empress Changsun, but Li Shimin still has a lot of nostalgia and grief in his heart. When he heard that his son made a vow to repair a Buddhist shrine to pray for the blessing of his beloved wife, he was happy to see it come true and readily agreed.

He hoped that his beloved wife's spirit in heaven would be healthy and ascend to bliss as soon as possible. As the son said, the Buddhist shrine will also be the sustenance of himself and his children's thoughts.

Since the Northern Wei Dynasty, the grottoes excavated by Yique Longmen have built a lot of Buddha statues. The national strength of the Tang Dynasty is stronger than that of Wei and Sui, and the grottoes should also be dug on the wall of Longmen Mountain to build Buddhist shrines for the queen of the Tang Dynasty to pray for blessings.

After a long time, Li Shimin said softly: "Qingque, tomorrow I will go to Yique to choose an auspicious place, you will preside over the construction of the Buddha shrine, this is a piece of filial piety to your mother, you must be attentive." ”

"Yes, the sons should do their best to build a Buddhist shrine and pray for the blessing of the queen mother." Li Tai readily agreed, and the moment he lowered his head, a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Li Tai did not delay, and the next morning, accompanied by Zhang Liang, the Duke of Yunguo, went to Yique to select auspicious land on Longmen Mountain on the bank of the Yishui River.

After some exploration, Li Tai chose Binyang Cave, a cave that had been excavated in the Northern Wei Dynasty but was later abandoned.

The location here has good feng shui on the one hand, and more importantly, the cave has been excavated and has a certain foundation. The construction continued, and the progress of building the shrine was relatively fast, which could save a lot of time.

Vowing to build a Buddhist shrine is to fulfill filial piety for the queen mother, but also to fulfill filial piety for the queen mother in front of the father and emperor, so as to get the name of "benevolence and filial piety".

Since ancient times, benevolence and filial piety have been essential virtues for princes. As long as you have a reputation for benevolence and filial piety, even if you have a slight deficiency in ability or other flaws, it is easy to be covered up and very tolerant.

Especially in the peaceful and prosperous era, "benevolence and filial piety" is the most important factor in the selection of the prince and heir in addition to the eldest and youngest. I already have the identity of the second son, which is quite advantageous, and the Literature Museum and the "Chronicles of the Universe" will be the embodiment of ability, and now the most important thing is benevolence and filial piety.

Li Tai is very aware of his father's deep affection for his mother, and the royal children are favored and preferential, not because they are noble, but because their mother's surname is the eldest grandson.

However, this advantage was mainly reflected in the younger siblings before, such as the emperor personally bowed to the Jin King Li Zhi and the Jinyang princess, and the older Li Tai did not enjoy much.

But Li Tai is a smart person, he knows how to fight for everything, and as soon as he entered Luoyang City, he moved out of the seemingly rotten street of the queen mother's dream.

Li Shimin just believed it, he believed that the fat son was sincere and filial, sincere and sincere. It was Li Tai who made a vow to repair the Buddhist shrine and pray for the blessing of his deceased mother, which was logical and won the heart of the monarch's father.

It's just that today's Longyan Dayue is far from enough, this Buddhist shrine that shows the benevolence and filial piety of King Wei must give full play to its maximum value, and it must be fulfilled as soon as possible.

It takes a long time to build a shrine on a stone wall, and if it is completely built, God knows when it will be completed. The father's sideburns have gray hair, and there are often attacks of wind diseases, in case something happens......

If it's late, what's the point of the shrine being completed?

Therefore, the old site that has been excavated in the previous dynasty of Binyang Cave is a good choice, but it can be completed in three or five years, and the day of completion is ...... Hey!

Anyway, the feng shui here is good, plus some other words, such as the queen mother advocated thrift before her death, and the new use of the old site can save costs and save people's resources.

Li Tai expected that his father would definitely agree, and even praise him......

……

However, in two or three days, Xie Yi, who was in Luoyang Palace, heard the news.

Li Tai, the king of Wei, made a vow to build a Buddhist shrine in Binyang Cave of Yique Longmen to pray for the blessing of Empress Wende, the eldest grandson who passed away last year.

Close to the water, well-informed, coupled with Li Zhi's description, Xie Yi has a certain understanding of the reasons for the construction of the Buddhist shrine and the related situation.

Li Tai is really smart, King Wei is really benevolent and filial, and he is so clever and benevolent!

In his previous life, he had read some history books, Xie Yi knew something about Li Tai, the king of Wei, and knew that this person was brilliant and capable, but he was also clever and good at planning.

However, there are many spring and autumn penmanship in the history books, and while the Venerable is ridiculed, it is inevitable that the shortcomings of some opponents and foils will be too magnified, deliberately belittled, and even tampered with and slandered.

Visiting the early Tang Dynasty Zhenguan in person, Xie Yi certainly believes in personal experience. When I first saw him yesterday, my first impression of Li Tai was not very good, and after two or three days, I clearly saw his character, which confirmed that the history books said that eight or nine are not far from ten.

took the initiative to ask for guilt, and the matter of Li Xin's destruction of crops was over, and he still left a good impression of honesty and prudence in front of the king, and he knew that he could change his mistakes.

Then he first proposed the Literature Museum and the "Chronicles of the Territory" to show his literary brilliance and revenge, and then offered the trump card of the eldest grandson queen and proposed to build a Buddhist shrine, which can be described as a step-by-step camp.

Dream on!

Hum! As a doctor, Xie Yi scoffs at such excuses. Maybe Li Taizhen dreamed of Empress Changsun, but he disappeared in Yique Longmen so coincidentally?

Li Tai was also anxious, he had never been to Yique at all, and only based on Zhang Liang's incomparably coincidental and plausible description, he confirmed that it was the same as what he saw in his dream. Should Zhang Liang be praised for his eloquence, or should King Wei's imagination be rich?

Xie Yi can be regarded as having seen it, but when it comes to his wife and children, the wise and martial Li Er Majesty is not only unprincipled, but also confused.

Without even thinking about it, he agreed to Li Tai's suggestion, and even praised it.

In Binyang South Cave is carved on the wall of five big Buddha statues, the main Amitabha Buddha is more than two feet high, in this era when there is no machinery, all rely on manual labor, it is not easy.

Pray for the queen's soul in the sky, what a fluttering sentence, but I don't know how much it will cost to consume the people's fat and ointment, and how much blood and sweat the craftsman will have to pay?

In the name of praying for the deceased mother, he worked hard and lost money, curried favor with his father, and won the name of benevolence and filial piety. Look at how smart His Royal Highness King Wei of the Tang Dynasty is!

In the past two days, Li Tai was in high spirits, selected a site to find a craftsman, and it is said that he also invited the Chinese scholar Lang Cen to write a vow, and advised the doctor, the famous calligrapher Chu Suiliang wrote the Danshu, and the cliff stone was carved in the Binyang Cave. It can be described as impressive, in full swing, and has the meaning of being famous for centuries.

Li Shimin went to Yique for a turn, took a few looks, and was happy, and immediately rewarded Li Tai with a large mansion in Luoyang City.

The area of the mansion is huge, and it even broke the rules of Chengchifang City, and merged the Fang land into Li Taici's house, which also contains 300 acres of Luoshui Pond.

I heard that Li Tai had a plan, renovated it, named it Weiwang Pond, and built a dike to connect it to Luoshui. Surrounded by pavilions and pavilions, willow green and red flowers, it will be a beautiful scenery in the eastern capital, but it belongs to him Li Tai alone.

is so honored, I don't know how many others to envy?

Xie Yi was very curious, after the crown prince Li Chengqian in Chang'an found out, he didn't know what his expression would be? If the eldest grandson queen has a spirit in the sky, I don't know how to feel? Is Li Tai 100% at ease himself?

The person who should be asked the most is actually Li Shimin, could it be that in his eyes, the fat son Li Tai is really pure, benevolent and filial? Should it be said that Li Erma's knowledge is unknown, or is Li Tai's acting skills too good?

That's it!

This is his Li Tang royal family affair, spending his family's money, why should others feel distressed? As for deceiving the monarch's father in the name of his deceased mother, in order to glorify his brother's ingenuity, since Li Shimin didn't notice it and didn't care, then let him be.

Even if there should be advice, that is also the heart of Fang Xuanling and other prime ministers, why should a little county man eat radishes?

However, it is necessary to be vigilant, and it can be seen that Li Tai's heart is not broad-minded. However, at least before the autumn harvest, Xie Yi believed that His Royal Highness the King of Wei would not act rashly.

As for the moment, instead of worrying about it, it is better to care more about the girl. No, after playing in the nursery for a while, Xiaoman's arms were a few more red and swollen......
