It is said that Yuan Yu, the princess of Pengcheng in the resting hall, persuaded the prince Yuan Ke to treat his biological mother noble concubine well, Yuan Ke was not indifferent when he heard it, but he knew that He regarded his three brothers and sisters as his own, lest he be close to his biological mother and make He unhappy.

Thinking of this, Yuan Ke did not interact with the Gao clan as Yuan Yu expected. How could Yuan Yu give up, so Xianyang Wang Yuanxi was the east, and invited Yuan Ke's maternal uncle and Pingyuan Gong Gao Zhao to drink and feast together.

Gao Zhao was flattered and happily greeted. On the banquet, Yuan Yu took advantage of it and knew that it was harmful, but after a short time, Gao Zhao was moved by it, made a covenant with each other, and did not elaborate on it.

It is the day of the seventh month, the day when King Jizo attains enlightenment. The people of the Great Wei Dynasty all went to the Buddha, so the government and the opposition rested for two days to celebrate.

In the middle of the earth, many times in order to save his mother, the Bodhisattva made a great vow: "Spend all sentient beings and prove Bodhi." With this merit and willingness, so that many parents can be free from suffering and happy, and turn into holiness, the "Dizang Sutra" is a Buddhist filial piety scripture, so that the Dizang Bodhisattva is an example of filial piety.

Because of this, all the people whose parents died in the Great Wei Dynasty recited the Buddha on the same day. It is Yuan Honggui who is the Son of Heaven, and he also bathes and fasts, and goes to the Buddha Hall to copy the scriptures accompanied by He.

Now Yuan Ke has moved into the prince's mansion, and has ordered the master craftsman to build a new Buddhist hall in the mansion. This morning, Yuan Ke washed and changed his clothes, and then entered the Buddhist hall to chant for the deceased mother.

"But in the next hundreds of billions of eons, there should be a world, all hells and the three evil realms, all sentient beings who suffer from sins, vow to be saved, so that they can be separated from hells, evil tastes, beasts, evil ghosts, etc., such as retribution for sins, and others, all of them will become Buddhas, and I will become enlightened after me."

After chanting the Buddhist scriptures, Yuan Ke copied the scriptures on the desk again, and when he returned to the inner hall, it was already the beginning of the afternoon.

The close attendant Lingmao served Yuan Ke and sat down in the banquet, and asked: "Prince, lunch has been prepared, does the prince want to eat now?" ”

Yuan Ke waved his hand and said, "Today is the day of fasting, you can only ask the dining room to make a bowl of corn porridge for me." ”

Ling Ling said with a smile: "The slave knows that today is the day of filial piety, and the prince will definitely eat this porridge, so the slave has already made an initiative to prepare the dining room." ”

Yuan Ke said: "You have grown up with me since childhood, and you know my habits well... At that time, Ah Niang was not favored, and whenever the three of my brothers and sisters reported an illness, Ah Niang could not afford to ask for ingredients from the Shang Shan Department, so she could only make this porridge for my brothers and sisters to eat..."

Ling Ling said: "Now that you are the crown prince, above 10,000 people, you have everything you need." ”

Seeing that Yuan Ke was no longer speech, Ling Mao lightly high-fived and ordered the attendants to pass the food inside.

After eating the porridge, Yuan Ke was about to make a lunch pillow, so an attendant came to report, and the plain prince asked to see him. Yuan Ke and Gao Zhao have rarely interacted with each other over the years, and when they heard that they asked to see him at this time, they were surprised. After all, Gao Zhao was his maternal uncle, and after a few flicks of his fingers, Yuan Ke asked Lingling to welcome him in.

After the usual salute, Gao Zhao bowed his head and said: "The minister came uninvited, and I hope the prince will forgive me." ”

Yuan Ke didn't answer Gao Zhao's words, but said: "Since the plain prince is here, you might as well sit down and talk." After saying that, he motioned for Ling Ling to let Gao Zhao sit aside.

Lingling was quite knowledgeable, and after serving tea to the two, he withdrew outside.

Although Gao Zhao and Yuan Ke are nephews, they are not familiar with each other. Seeing that Yuan Ke had no intention of opening his mouth, Gao Zhao opened his mouth first: "Today is the day when the Bodhisattva of the King of the Earth attains the path of Nirvana, and the minister will get up in the morning and copy Buddhist scriptures for the noble concubine with his parents to comfort the souls in the sky. ”

Yuan Ke said: "There is General Lao Liwei and his wife, and I hope that the plain will turn Chen Wu to thank him." ”

Gao Zhaowen Yuan Ke called his parents with titles, so he knew that he had no intention of being close. Gao Zhao is also a shrewd person, and Zhiyuan Ke definitely thinks that he has the heart to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix. Gao Zhao came prepared, so he said: "The minister has no intention of clinging to the prince, but only asks the prince for one thing on behalf of his parents, and hopes that the prince will be fulfilled." ”

Hearing Gao Zhao's words, Yuan Ke was stunned and said, "If General Liwei has any request, Pingyuan Gong might as well speak up." ”

Gao Zhao said: "Since the noble concubine has been in the world, all the sacrifices of life and death of parents and parents have gone to the White Horse Temple to offer incense and flowers, worship the Buddha and chant sutras, so that the noble concubine's soul in the sky can rest in peace... Now that the parents are old, this year is the three-year period of the noble concubine's life, and the three years are the great sacrifices in the people, so the parents want to invite the monks and virtues to enter the house to do a ritual for the noble concubines... The parents have never met the crown prince, the fifth prince and the princess of Changle, after all, they are connected by blood, and they also want to take this opportunity to meet the prince's brothers and sisters. ”

Yuan Ke originally thought that Gao Zhao had the intention of clinging to himself, but when he heard his words, he felt quite remorseful, and only felt that his weight was not constant. Although he knew that Gao Zhaozhi's invitation was reasonable, because his brother and sister were raised under the queen's knees, it was inappropriate to enter the Gao Mansion.

Looking at Gao Zhao, Yuan Ke said: "General Li Wei and the plain treat Ah Niang's affection, I feel five guilty." Only now that the three of my brothers and sisters are raised under the queen's knees, I am afraid that it is inconvenient to visit the high mansion. And the mother has invited the monk to enter the palace to do the Dharma for the mother at the time of the Midyear Festival, and the mother will be pleased to have a spirit in the sky. ”

Gao Zhao said with emotion: "The government and the opposition are all respectful, benevolent and filial, and I can see it today, as expected!" Having such a prince is really a blessing for all the people of my Great Wei! ”

Yuan Ke said: "Meng Aye Longen, I have to be promoted to the crown prince, and I should be conscientious and conscientious to live up to Aye's expectations." ”

Gao Zhao said: "The minister knows that the prince also has difficulties... Although the parents are not allowed to see the prince, they will always remember it in their hearts... What the warlock said back then was indeed true, and my Gao family really had an auspicious atmosphere. ”

Yuan Ke was young and didn't know what Gao Zhao meant, so he wondered: "What did the warlock say?" Isn't it related to me? ”

Gao Zhao saw that Yuan Ke was curious, and secretly rejoiced. Looking at Yuan Ke, Gao Zhao said: "When the noble concubine was not married, she had a dream: in the dream, the noble concubine stood in the ancestral house, and the sunlight shone on her body from the window, which was bright and hot, and the noble concubine avoided it. This was the case for several nights in a row, and the noble concubine was amazed, so she told her father about the dream. When my father heard this, he was also surprised, so he asked a warlock about it. ”

"The warlock said to his father, 'This is a sign of Chery, and it is unspeakably precious.'" Seeing his father's doubts, the sorcerer explained: 'The sun is the nature of the monarch and the sign of the emperor. The red sun shines on this woman's body, and in the future, kindness will be added to her body, and there is a sign of giving birth to a monarch. 'At that time, my parents and seven of my brothers and sisters will return to Wei from Goguryeo, how dare they dare to imagine entering the palace? I never thought that by chance, the noble concubine was chosen by the Empress Dowager as the person to open a house for Her Majesty, and gave birth to the prince. ”

After Gao Zhao's words, Yuan Ke already had a trace of fear on his face that was not easy to be noticed by others: "The warlock's words are absurd, can they be taken seriously?" Don't mention this matter to anyone else in the future. ”

When Gao Zhao heard this, he hurriedly got up and left the table and leaned over, saying: "Prince, this matter is only known to the noble concubine, father and ministers, and the ministers know the stakes and will not communicate with outsiders, so the prince can rest assured." ”

Looking at Yuan Ke and seeing that he was silent, Gao Zhao said again: "Zi said: 'Life and death have fate, and wealth is in the sky. If you don't know your fate, you can't be a gentleman. 'The prince knows that every man has a life, and it is the will of heaven. ”

"On the eve of the noble concubine's birth of the prince, she had this dream again, and the red sun turned into a dragon and wandered beside her. When she woke up from her dream, the noble concubine was terrified, and after a short time, she gave birth to the prince..."
