Chapter Seventy-Four, The Turmoil in the White Horse Temple (I)

Although the Great Sui enjoyed the country Zuo only a short 38 years, Buddhism has developed very prosperous, two generations of reigning sons of heaven are very respectful of Buddhism, during the Northern Zhou Dynasty Emperor Wudi, Yuwen Yong wantonly destroyed the Buddha, the then fugitive Zhixian Shenni Qiao was taken in by the Yang family, the Zhixian Shenni who took refuge in the Yang family saw Yang Jian, and asserted that Yang Jian would take it on behalf of the Yuwen family, so as to unify the Central Plains and become the real master of the world.

Yang Jian listened to the fear and surprise, the hidden ambition in his heart suddenly grew like a weed, after Yang Nut won the world, built the name of the Great Sui, known as Emperor Wen of Sui, after Emperor Wen ascended the throne, he was convinced that he could become the emperor is the Buddha's protection, for this reason, during his reign, vigorously promote Buddhism, build temples, and establish Buddhism as the state religion.

After Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty ascended the throne, the respect for Buddhism was not under his father, he had been ordained in front of the wise master of Tiantai Sect, and regarded himself as a disciple of Buddhism and lay people, and the two emperors of the Great Sui Dynasty all respected Buddhism in this way, and the people and families of the world would naturally follow suit.

After the death of relatives of countless families, they will go to the temple to offer them an everlasting lamp, Tang Guogong Li family is no exception, when the Dou family died last year, Li Jiancheng and Li Erlang and his wife went to the White Horse Temple outside Luoyang City to provide a lantern for their mother, and then Li Xuanba died of illness, and Li Erlang and his wife went to offer a lamp for their younger brother.

The eighth day of the first month of April is the Buddha Festival, the Buddha Festival is a very grand festival in Buddhism, the two Changming lamps of the Li family are not long in time, naturally can not help but offer incense and add sesame oil money, the adult men of the Li family are all out of the army, can go to the temple to add incense and oil only the eldest grandson and his sister-in-law Zheng.

Early in the morning of the eighth day of the first day of the first lunar month, the eldest grandson and the little lady had breakfast, and went to the sister-in-law Zheng's Yunxieju, Zheng knew that he was going to the temple to incense today, and got up early, when the eldest grandson and the little lady came, she had already had breakfast, and was telling her son Chengzong step by step, so that he could be obedient and obedient, stay at home with his sister, and don't run around, the four-year-old Chengzong is quite sensible on weekdays, and rarely disobeys his mother's teachings.

Zheng had a headache and was about to continue to reason with him, but he heard Yahuan report that the eldest grandson and the little lady were coming, Zheng had to temporarily put aside his son, and then instructed Yahuan to bring the eldest grandson and the little lady directly in.

"Hey, Chengzong got up so early today!" As soon as the eldest grandson and little lady came in, she saw Chengzong who was neatly dressed and sat on the soft couch, and sighed in surprise, walked to the soft couch, and reached out and touched his head with a smile, this baby is only four years old, has begun to enlighten, but the practice of martial arts has not yet begun, usually in the morning, usually around the hour to get up, and now the time is about a quarter of an hour away from the Chen, the baby has been dressed and sat on the soft couch, obviously got up for a while.

"Second aunt." When Chengzong saw her, his eyes lit up, and now he saw the eldest grandson little lady caressing his head gently, and immediately flattered, and a pair of black eyes looked at the eldest grandson and little lady with expectation.

"Yo, Chengzong, do you want to ask the second aunt for help?" The eldest grandson and little lady looked at his appearance, and couldn't help but pinch his face lightly with some amusement.

"Hey, this kid, I heard yesterday that we were going to Baiyun Temple, and I was worried about it, no, I woke up early in the morning, so I had to pester me to go to Baiyun Temple with us." This time it was Zheng who spoke, she looked at her son with a headache, this baby has always been obedient, but when she is stubborn, it makes people have a headache.

"Chengzong wants to go to Baiyun Temple? It's not a difficult thing, when your father and the second uncle come back from the victory, let them take you there, but not today, today I and your mother are going to do business, you are too young to take care of yourself, there are many people in Baiyun Temple today, I and your mother are two weak women, and I am still a little too busy to take care of you, it is even more difficult to take care of you, you are a responsible man, I must not want to see the second aunt and your mother so embarrassed, right? When the eldest grandson and little lady heard this, her eyes rolled slightly, she sat up on the soft couch, hugged Chengzong to her knees, looked into his eyes and said.

When Chengzong heard this, a trace of hesitation flashed on his face, and the eldest grandson and little lady continued to follow the temptation step by step: "Chengzong, you are an elder brother and a little man, when the adults in the family are not at home, should you take on the responsibility of a man, stay at home and take care of your sister?" ”

"Okay, I'll stay at home to take care of my sister, Auntie, second aunt, you remember to come back early." Li Chengzong couldn't resist the tongue of the eldest grandson and the little lady, he turned his eyes to look at his sister who was still asleep, and finally nodded.

"Or you have a way." After coming out of the mansion and boarding the carriage, Zheng said with emotion.

"Poof, how can there be, Chengzong, this kid is very sensible, you and your eldest brother taught it well." The eldest grandson Xiaoniang couldn't help but laugh when she heard the voice, the atmosphere in the carriage seemed quite relaxed, they were all well-educated and transparent people, and they would not put their sorrow on their faces because their husbands were away on the expedition, and there were many unsatisfactory things in the family.

The White Horse Temple is about more than 30 miles away from Luoyang City, because of the reason of the Son of Heaven and the Buddha, this section of the road is very well repaired, but there are several places where the terrain is a little steep, from Luoyang City to the White Horse Temple to take the carriage, it also takes more than an hour, the eldest grandson and the little lady and the Zheng family set off about a moment in the hour, arrived at the White Horse Temple, has arrived in the middle of the time.

When they arrived, many luxury carriages had been parked in the open space outside the White Horse Temple, and the chaotic war outside and the increasingly chaotic situation did not affect the incense of the White Horse Temple.

Seeing this, Zheng couldn't help frowning, although there are a lot of carriages in front of the White Horse Temple today, there are still a lot of open spaces on the field, where is this person's carriage parked, it has to be crowded with their Li Mansion's car, if it is just a car squeezed together, forget it, but the people in this car don't seem to see them, the body grazes her and the eldest grandson's little lady and stops, just a little bit, it will scrape them, this kind of action, it is simply lawless, extremely domineering!
