Early the next morning.

Li Chengqian woke up from the couch with a copy of "Changqing Jingjing" beside him.

"Man can always be pure, and heaven and earth will return to ......"

He got up slowly, but his mouth was still muttering,

"Madame is so clear, but her heart is disturbed; People's hearts are quiet, and they want to lead them. ”

"Always be able to send away their desires, and their hearts are quiet; Clarify their hearts, and their spirits are clear; Naturally, the six desires are not born, and the three poisons are eliminated. Therefore, those who can't do it are not clear in their hearts, and they ...... if they are not sent to their desires."

"The more I read this scripture, the more I read it, the more enjoyable it becomes."

Reading and reading, Li Chengqian actually laughed, and his expression was extremely relaxed.

On his bed, there are still a few scattered scriptures, not only Taoist books, but also Buddhist scriptures.

For example, the "Diamond Sutra" is a scripture that he must read every day, and the "Changqing Jingjing" has long been memorized.

It's no wonder that the eldest grandson Wuji would report to Li Shimin like that.

This kid is now addicted to metaphysics and can't extricate himself......

But this is actually normal.

When a person attains great material abundance, he desires the fullness of the spiritual world.

Taoism and Buddhism are often the best spiritual food.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, are you awake?"

The maidservant stepped forward and gently wiped his face.

Li Chengqian nodded.

"What time is it?"

"Back to Your Highness, it's already time." The slave said respectfully.

Li Chengqian rubbed his head.

"I've slept for so long......"

Fortunately, no one cares about him sleeping in the middle now.

Since Xu Fenglei came back, Li Chengqian has been in a free-range state, and Li Shimin has not sent him a teacher Xi.

It's a bit of a laissez-faire flavor.

Li Chengqian was also happy to be free-ranged, got up to wash and prepare for breakfast.

At this moment, a message came from outside the house:

"His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the King of Wei has come down."

Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, looking a little stunned.

"King Wei?"

"Are you sure it's King Wei? Isn't it King Wu or something? ”

"It's His Royal Highness the King of Wei." The chamberlain thought to himself, with King Wei's fat pig-like physique, he wouldn't be wrong even if he closed his eyes.

When Li Chengqian heard this, he became more and more confused.

Although he and Li Tai are brothers, they haven't seen each other much over the years, and it can even be said that they don't get along with each other.

Although he didn't know how this brother's relationship became so indifferent......

But he's used to it.

I didn't expect that Li Tai would come to visit today!

"Quickly change my clothes."

Li Chengqian said repeatedly,

"Prepare breakfast."

"I remember that King Wei likes to eat venison, you go get two bowls of shredded venison porridge."

As he spoke, he had already taken two scriptures in his hand and walked out of the house.

……

The main hall of the East Palace.

Li Tai's fat body was piled up on the yellow rosewood chair, waiting for Li Chengqian boredly.

I heard the sound of footsteps.

Da-da-da.

Boom!

Li Tai slammed to his feet and almost overturned the chair!

He hurriedly put the chair up, but he heard Li Chengqian's voice already coming.

"Green Sparrow!"

Li Chengqian greeted with a smile.

"Huh...... Eldest brother! Hey hey ......"

As soon as Li Tai looked up, he saw Li Chengqian smiling brightly, and he also showed a sincere smile.

Syllable!

The brothers hugged each other and collided solidly.

"Haven't you had breakfast yet?"

Li Chengqian's affectionate way,

"Let's go, it's been a long time since we've eaten together."

"Come and eat in my yard."

"Okay." Li Tai was naturally obedient.

The brothers seemed to be as close as if they met every day, but in fact, they both had a string in their hearts.

……

Inside the compound.

Two bowls of fragrant shredded pork porridge were served, accompanied by eight side dishes.

"I know you love venison, so I asked the cook to make it urgently."

Li Chengqian smiled and groaned,

"You taste it, it's not to your taste."

Li Tai picked up the porridge bowl and sniffed it, and couldn't help but admire:

"It's so fragrant......"

"The eldest brother bothered, and he also knew that the younger brother liked to eat venison."

His expression was quite moved.

Everyone has grown up and matured a lot.

It's not like when I was a child, you fought for me, a little more polite, but this politeness is not fake politeness.

Inside, there is still a bit of true feelings.

This made Li Tai's heart a little uncomfortable......

"Venison is hot, if you eat more with your physique, I won't dare to eat more."

Li Chengqian casually scooped a mouthful and put it into his mouth, and said with a smile,

"I eat it easily and it is said to have an aphrodisiac effect...... Hahaha. ”

"Speaking of which, you also have to work harder, give birth to a grandson for your father and queen mother, come on to catch up with me."

As princes, although they are not very old, they have already married wives, but the baby has not yet been made.

If anyone makes a baby, it will definitely be the first priority!

After all, that is the eldest son and eldest grandson of the fourth generation of Datang!

"Big brother, don't tease...... It must be your husband. ”

Li Tai also relaxed a lot at the moment, and said,

"Father's grandson, it must be your child! The crown princess's belly is not big, and I will never dare to give birth to a baby. ”

"It has to be you first, the order can't be messed up!"

The two looked at each other and laughed.

The atmosphere suddenly lightened a little.

"I miss it when I was a kid."

Li Chengqian put down the porridge bowl and suddenly sighed softly,

"At that time, we were all hairy children, we didn't understand anything, and we revolved around Master every day."

"Master taught us the way of gentlemen and taught us to distinguish between loyalty and treachery."

"To be honest, when I was studying and studying, I was the happiest, carefree......"

Li Tai's smile also gradually converged, and his eyes showed a look of reminiscence.

"yes......"

"At that time, it was also my happiest time."

"Master gave us a happy childhood, he is really an enlightened and good Master, I don't know how high I am from those teachings."

Li Chengqian nodded approvingly.

They are extremely recognized and used for Xu Fenglei's education.

The joy of childhood is a treasure trove.

When you grow up, even if you have many worries and worries, you can still extract a steady stream of energy from this treasure house.

"Big brother, what are these two books in your hand?"

Li Tai drank the venison porridge slowly, his eyes fell on the book in Li Chengqian's hand, and asked curiously,

"Can you show me?"

He was curious about all the texts and could read them quickly.

This is a talent that the fat blue finch is proud of.

"Oh—it's the Constant Pure Sutra and the Diamond Sutra."

Li Chengqian casually put the two books on the table and said,

"I've been interested in these books recently, and there are indeed a lot of truths in them, and a few points of understanding are enough to be useful."

"I remember you also had a lot of insights into Buddhism?"

When Li Tai heard this, his eyes lit up.

"These two scriptures are ......"

He flipped through two pages at random, and said with a smile,

"I've really watched it many times, and I have some insights."

In fact, there is an interchange between them. There is empathy. ”

"Oh?" Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows, raised his hand and said, "I want to hear the details." ”

He was immediately interested.

"There are several essences of the Diamond Sutra, and I think the most quintessential is this sentence——"

Li Tai pointed to the scriptures and said,

"Let the heart be born without a dwelling."

"This heart is the tranquility mentioned in the "Constant Purity Sutra", people can always be pure, and heaven and earth are all returned."

"Both Buddhism and Taoism pay attention to this quiet mind, and this state of mind is extremely special."

And how do you attain this pure mind? Buddhism says that there should be no place to live, what is dwelling? To live is to live in the phase, and the color, sound, fragrance, and touch are all ......"

"And then ......"

Li Tai pointed to the two scriptures and discussed them with Li Chengqian.

This discussion is half an hour.

Who would have thought that the two most noble second-generation princes of the Tang Dynasty would be obsessed with metaphysics at this moment.

“…… That's all I understand, no matter how deep it is. ”

Li Tai exhaled a breath of turbidity, and said,

"If the eldest brother still wants to listen to a deeper lecture, you can go to Longhu Mountain Zhang Tianshi, or you can go directly to Grandpa Sun, I feel that Grandpa Sun's Taoism is also very high, but he mainly uses medical skills on weekdays."

"Master's Taoism was taught by Grandpa Sun."

They are also stained with Xu Fenglei's light, so they can call Sun Simiao 'Grandpa Sun'.

"As for Buddhism, the strongest person in the world should be Master Xuanzang, if he can bring back the Buddhist scriptures from Tianzhu."

Li Tai said again,

"Master admires him very much."

"With these two here, whether the eldest brother wants to learn Taoism or Buddhism, there is no problem."

He pointed out two paths to Li Chengqian at once.

And these two are indeed broad roads! Sun Simiao and Master Xuanzang were both holy beings in later generations.

"Good, good ......"

"I see."

Li Chengqian was a little unsatisfied, and said with a smile,

"I'm not in a hurry, just what you told me today is enough for me to digest it for a while."

"I really feel that there are many troubles and sufferings in the world, so don't give birth to so many desires, it's better to seek a sober and joyful life."

Li Tai was stunned.

"Big brother, you can't think like that."

He replied,

"It's okay to learn Buddhism and enlighten the Tao, but you can't give birth to the heart of leaving home!"

"You're the one who wants to be the emperor! Be royal and domineering! ”

Li Chengqian smiled and shook his head.

"Actually, I don't have any thoughts about the throne now, and it's quite boring for this prince to be in front of him."

He waved his hand and said,

"If you like it, why don't I give it to you?"

"It's good for me to be a prince, just like Liu An, the king of Huainan, how good."

Li Tai: "!! ”

In an instant, the fat green finch almost stood up in fright!

"Big brother, you must not think like this!"

He said urgently,

"You were born to be a prince! When the Emperor's life! ”

"Your name is Cheng Qian! What is Cheng Qian? Inherit the world, inherit the world! ”

"You have to be a good prince, brother, I don't have any such ideas! After two years, when the queen mother wakes up, I will go directly to the fiefdom and become a vassal! It's true! I won't stay in Chang'an! ”

Li Tai's tone was a little hurried, and he hurriedly expressed his loyalty.

He didn't know if his eldest brother's words were a temptation or sincerity, anyway, no matter what, he could only say this!

"Whew...... Why are you so nervous? ”

Li Chengqian shrugged his shoulders and said,

"That's what I said, if I really don't do it, my father will have to peel my skin."

"I'll just tell you the truth behind your back, don't shake me out."

Li Tai nodded repeatedly.

"That's nature, that's nature......"

"Big brother, don't worry, I won't say a word, I can swear!"

Li Chengqian was happy.

"Qingque, you are very different from before."

"I don't even know you anymore."

Li Tai subconsciously wiped the fine sweat on his forehead, thinking to himself, you don't know what I have been through in the past two days......

Of course......

Li Tai himself is also weak-hearted.

After all, it was he who listened to Wei Ting and Du Chuke's slander and had the heart to win the heir, so he sent this person who harmed Li Chengqian over.

If it weren't for Master's return, I don't know what the situation would have been......

"When you're older, you naturally have to be a little more mature."

LI Taidao,

"Big brother, I went to visit the queen mother yesterday, and her condition is better than before, and her complexion is ruddy."

"Shall we take some time to go to Xingguo Temple together to pray for the queen mother?"

Originally, he must have done this kind of 'show of filial piety' alone, and it was impossible to pull Li Chengqian.

Can ...... now His mind changed.

Maybe he wants to make up for it, he wants to bring his eldest brother with him, and he can also make his father happy when the time comes.

"Okay!"

Li Chengqian's eyes lit up and said,

"Let's go together to chant sutras for the queen mother and pray for karma! Temples and Taoist temples are all gone! ”

"Call the eldest sister and Lizhi together, we are all the children of the queen mother, and we should do our part."

Li Tai nodded happily.

A little more people, but also comfortable.

It is true that they have not been together for a long time, and now they get together for their mother, showing filial piety, which is also a beautiful talk.

At the very least, my father will be pleased.

Subsequently, the two chatted and talked happily, and Li Tai did not leave the East Palace until he had lunch.

……

Afternoon.

Li Shimin heard the report.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Wei had a very pleasant conversation."

"They also made an appointment to pray for the queen's mother together, together with Princess Xiangcheng and Princess Changle."

When Li Shimin heard this, his expression was also a little surprised.

"They get along so well?"

He thought there would be a bit of a gap!

"Yes."

The slave and maid said truthfully,

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei gave a lecture to His Royal Highness the Prince, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince listened to it with fascination."

"Now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is indeed a little addicted to metaphysics, but the slaves and maids can also feel that His Royal Highness the Prince's temperament has become more and more restrained, and his mood and temper have also improved a lot."

Li Shimin bowed slightly.

"Good thing."

He approving,

"Actually, I also love to watch those, as long as I don't indulge in it, I can still help myself."

"He's fine, it's okay to delve into metaphysics."

"It's a good thing to pray for the queen, and I will allow them to leave the palace."

"Yes." The slave and maid retreated.

It's gratifying.

Hearing this report, Li Shimin's biggest feeling in his heart was relief.

The eldest son of his own family finally stopped making himself angry, and slowly developed in a good direction.

What's not to be satisfied with?

"Children are still good after all, and their nature is not bad."

Li Shimin leaned back on the recliner and muttered softly,

"Just a tap, a correction, and you can get them back on track."

With a muttering mouth, he slowly closed his eyes.

This nap, I slept peacefully.
