Chapter two hundred and sixty seventh monk to escape from the world

Dongyang became a monk as a Taoist rule, setting a precedent for the royal family of the Li Tang Dynasty. From the founding of the Tang Dynasty to the present, Dongyang was the first princess to become a monk.

This incident naturally caused some discussion in the court.

Many people talked about gossip behind their backs, but in the Golden Palace, the court officials all praised merits. His Royal Highness the Princess accumulated virtue and prayed for his father and became a monk. This is a very kind and filial act, and should be praised.

The hall was filled with praise, but Li Shimin's face was extremely gloomy. The court officials had the ability to see that His Majesty the Emperor's face was wrong, they stopped talking and said no more.

After the court was dispersed, Li Shimin returned to the bedroom for some reason and was furious. The eunuch standing at the door was smashed by the vase he threw out, and blood was flowing all over the ground, but he was so scared that he didn't dare to move. He kept kneeling on the ground and kowtowed to blame him for his crime.

Li Shimin, the memorial to Dongyang request to become a monk, has been approved by the Ministry of Works, and officials led craftsmen to Taiping Village and began to survey the environment of the princess's mansion and consider how to convert the large mansion into a Taoist temple.

The day after the approval of the memorial, Dongyang entered the palace alone. In addition to thanking his father, he also worshipped Li Chunfeng, the general of the Grand Historian Bureau, as his teacher.

Li Chunfeng is the legendary Taoist priest who knows everything. He has been smart and studious since childhood, read a lot of books, and is proficient in astronomy, calendar, Feng Shui, and Yin and Yang. He is the most famous Taoist priest during the Zhenguan period. Even before Li Shimin made many major decisions, he would ask him for good or bad luck.

The ceremony of apprenticeship was very formal. Dongyang changed into a brand new plain patchwork Taoist robe. His black hair was dispersed like a cloud and then tied it into a Taoist bun on the top of his head. He was fixed with a jade hairpin. He transformed himself into an image of a stunning Taoist nun. He knelt in front of Li Chunfeng and bowed three times and nine times. He lit incense in front of the Sanqing statue, left a list, and created a certificate of dignity.

Li Chunfeng looked at Dongyang with no makeup and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. In fact, he was reluctant to accept such a female disciple. Li Chunfeng was proficient in physiognomy. At first glance, he could see that the princess was still in her heart, and there were still thousands of feelings lingering in her eyebrows, which were condensed but not dispersed. She had a lot of connection with the worldly relationship. From the above request to become a monk to the emperor's approval, the whole process seemed like a joke. The person who said it was relaxed, and the person who was correct was happy. As soon as he went back and forth, the father and daughter were angry.

Li Chunfeng couldn't help but sigh heavily. If it were an ordinary person who dared to make such a joke in the Tao, he would have been cursed to death by countless small circles. How could he become a monk? He changed his lifestyle and was just a vacation in life. One day, he was tired of being a Taoist nun, and then he said hello to him, quit and returned to the secular world. He had to make a happy return to the secular ceremony and respectfully sent His Royal Highness back to the mortal world of the world...

The princess has not yet broken her relationship with her, but the princess who has not broken her relationship is also a princess. After Dongyang officially gave the ceremony of apprenticeship, Li Chunfeng did not dare to take out his master's airs. He was so polite that he almost knelt down to Dongyang.

The apprenticeship ceremony was very complete, but there was a sense of awkwardness from the beginning to the end. Li Chunfeng sat upright, um, ah, read a few words of "Laozi", and explained it word by word, barely as the master scolded the newly accepted apprentice.

The word-by-word explanation of "Laozi" is not unconventional. It is a matter of particularity. Li Chunfeng's father Li Bo was a former Sui official and called himself "Huang Guanzi". Because he was unsuccessful in the officialdom, he abandoned his official position and became a Taoist priest. The greatest achievement in his life was to annotate "Laozi". The few sentences Li Chunfeng read to Dongyang were the contents of his father's annotation.

After the master and apprentice's tribute was finished, Li Chunfeng pondered for a while and immediately gave Dongyang a Taoist name called "Xuanhui".

"Li Su, Princess Dongyang has become a monk, do you know?"

Wang Zhi hurried back to Taiping Village from Chang'an City, pulled Li Su under the locust tree at the entrance of the village, and asked anxiously.

Li Su looked at the few dead branches on the old locust tree canopy calmly and nodded, "I don't know, but I can vaguely guess what she will do."

Wang Zhi was stunned: "You didn't stop her when she became a monk?"

Li Su smiled bitterly: "She lives too tiring, and becoming a monk is a way. If she doesn't become a monk, she will still be the princess. In the future, troubles may be one after another. Every trouble may take her life. Although the Gao family has terminated the engagement, she is still unmarried. Today she has tried to deal with the Gao family, and tomorrow she may have to deal with the Wang family and the Sun family who are here to propose marriage. This is so repeated, so we are very annoying. Do we always deal with the trick of pretending to be a god or a ghost?"

When Wang Zhi heard this, he looked thoughtful. After thinking about it, he finally admitted unwillingly that in terms of the current situation, becoming a monk in Dongyang may be the easiest and most effective way to avoid trouble.

Li Su sighed: "If you become a monk, you are not a princess, so you will jump out of the five elements. From then on, you can get a peaceful and peaceful life. Even if the court officials want to marry the royal family, they will not attack a monk. Dongyang's decision is a way to protect himself, so even if I know her choice, I will not stop her..."

Li Su said, with a strange smile on her face: "Dongyang is not stupid after all, and she has laid the foreshadowing of becoming a monk. She chose Taoism instead of Buddhism. She did the multiple-choice questions very well. Taoism is the most easy-going, and it is easy to get in and out. In addition, her princess identity is extremely free. If the situation turns around in the future, there will be a relationship between her and I, and it is easy to take off that Taoist robe..."

Wang Zhi was silent for a moment and asked, "When will there be a turning point between you and her?"

Li Su looked up at the sky and sighed, "I don't know that in this year, the emperor is greater than the sky. No matter how strong he is, he will not be able to compete with him. But... he must have strength after all. If one day I am so strong that he has to face me and seriously consider the possibility of me and Dongyang, then I must be stronger than now. I set a goal for myself, three years, and three years later, if I and her don't have a turnaround, even if I take the risk of my head, I will still create a turnaround artificially."

Wang Zhine said: "Actually... Li Su, my brother and I have always felt that you shouldn't be the children of farmers. Really, your appearance, your temperament, your abilities... You are so different from the children of farmers. Standing with them, no matter how you look at you, you are like a prince from a wealthy family."

Li Su was still looking at Tian Daidai, and suddenly a contradictory expression of spirit and sarcasm and mockery appeared on her face.

"I think my name may be famous for historical books, and it is a rich and colorful sentence! To put it bluntly, this is all caused by human feelings and worldly feelings."

Countless craftsmen entered the Princess' Mansion and began to start construction of the Princess' Mansion. A few months later, there was no longer a Princess' Mansion here, but a Taoist temple with incense lingering in the evening drums and morning bells. The people living inside were no longer Princess Dongyang, but a beautiful Taoist nun named "Xuanhui".

The mansion is still that mansion, and the person is still that man. Everything seems to have not changed, everything seems to have changed.

The Princess's Mansion was renovated, and Dongyang temporarily returned to the Jingshu Palace to live in Tai Chi Palace. Li Su could only bury her longing deep in her heart.

It’s strange, what did he and her do during the year they were with her? Why did a year pass in a hurry?

The most urgent thing in life is always the best time.

In the middle of winter, when the first crystal white snowflakes fall down the sky, the green vegetables in the greenhouse are ripe.

Picking fifty acres of green vegetables, dozens of idle laborers in the village were hired, each of whom paid three cents a day and took care of another meal. The strong laborers smiled like they made money. In the cold snowy weather, they crawled into the warm greenhouse for a long time and didn't want to come out. The fifty acres of green were finished in just three days.

Green vegetables like hills piled up in the front yard of the Li family, and the villagers stared at them with wide eyes. Although they had known that Li's children had planted green vegetables, these were truly placed in front of them. Everyone was still extremely surprised.

Cucumbers, Kunlun purple cucumbers, mustard greens... all kinds of vegetables are green and tender from the inside out, reflecting an unheard of contradictions and wonders with the heavy snow all over the sky.

Li Su was very generous and paid for those who came to watch the fun at home. Everyone gave a handful of green vegetables and took them back, and they didn't think it was too little. They were happy to run home like holding the tablets of their ancestors. In the middle of winter, they could eat the green vegetables grown in the fields, so even His Majesty the Emperor would not have such treatment. It was a great happiness to be able to get one.

People in Guanzhong are honest and not only easy to be content, but also know how to cherish blessings.

The remaining green vegetables were still piled high in the yard, leaving a small part to give each of the villagers in the village, and a large part were sorted. The purple cucumbers and cucumbers were gathered together, and Wang Zhi asked to hire several ox carts from the village to load them with green vegetables. Li Su jumped onto the shaft and drove towards Chang'an City.

The first family doesn't think about it, it must be the Cheng family. The old hooligan takes good care of him, but he is not very sensible. If he knows that the first one is not the Cheng family, he will probably give him a grudge if he gives gifts.

On the other hand, among all the famous generals and elders, Cheng Yaojin is the one who cares about him the most. If there is a real difference between closeness and distantness, Cheng Yaojin is undoubtedly the closest one.

The snow was very deep, the sky was white, and the cold snow particles were mixed with the cold wind, making people unable to open their eyes.

The road to the city was covered with a thick layer of snow, and pedestrians and carriages were rarely seen on the road. In such a haunted weather, if there is no particularly important thing, most people are unwilling to go out and seek abuse.

Li Su left the village in a ox cart and found that she was looking for abuse. She could give away green vegetables any day, so why did she choose this ghost weather?

Since he was out, he was not embarrassed to give up, so Li Su had to bite the bullet and ask the old man who drove the ox cart in the village to continue on the road. Seeing the old man squinting his eyes to face the wind and snow, his old face was red from the cold, Li Su couldn't bear it, so he happily added another fifty cents to him.

The road to the city today is particularly difficult to walk. The flat road is wet and slippery, and the ox cart is difficult to move forward in the wind and snow.

It took more than two hours to see the towering city walls of Chang'an on weekdays.

After entering the city, Li Su asked the ox cart to go straight to Cheng Mansion. After the Cheng family servants passed on it, a burly and sturdy figure jumped out, turning into a scattered black smoke like a million troops taking the heads of the enemy general. Then Li Su felt that his body lightened, his feet were off the ground, and his whole body was like a piece of freshly smoked bacon, swaying in the air...

"Hahahahahahaha, the little bastard hasn't seen each other for many days. It's hard for you to remember me. Come in with me quickly. Don't talk nonsense. Have three bowls of wine and talk to me for a long time..."

Li Su was carried in mid-air by Cheng Yaojin. His familiar experience made him give up his struggle, and he bowed his hand very much, and bowed to Cheng Yaojin in a very ethereal and fairy-like air-lifting posture.

"Boy... I'll pay homage to Uncle Cheng. Uncle Cheng is polite, this..."

"Should give me this set of sour gifts. I will sit high in the hall, drink a big bowl of wine and eat meat, so I will like you. If you do this trick, I will kick you out!"

"Yes, Uncle Cheng..." Li Su was humble and saw that Cheng Yaojin was about to carry him into the front hall. Li Su finally became uneasy.

In the snowy days, Baba rushed into the city. He didn't die for the sake of drunkenness. The Cheng family's wine was like a yellow beam dream. If he could not get drunk for half his life, he would be drunk like this for half his life.

"Stop, Uncle Cheng, wait! Boy... I'm not drinking anymore. I'm here to give gifts to uncle. Look, the gifts are ready, behind the boy..."

Li Su hurriedly pointed to the ox cart behind and explained. Cheng Yaojin turned his head and found that the ox cart was loaded behind him. He finally became a little interested, so he put down Li Su and walked slowly to the ox cart to look carefully.

With a very strange expression, I gave him a truck of green vegetables in the middle of winter. Even if I wasn't ecstatic, I should at least be a little happier. I shouldn't be like hesitating and embarrassing now...

"This gift..." Cheng Yaojin pondered.

Li Su was stunned: "Uncle Cheng is not satisfied?"

"Satisfied is satisfied..." Cheng Yaojin stroked his head lovingly and said with a smile: "It's rare that the kid is filial. But... you give gifts too openly. If you hide your tracks for a moment, today I will slaughter it quietly. We both eat beef with great pleasure, but you, Daming and Daliang, drove it into the city, and so many eyes have seen it... Nowadays, eating cows is broken and you have to sue, alas!"

After Cheng Yaojin finished speaking, he touched the head of the cow in the trailer with great regret and smacked his lips, looking regretful that the beef that had grown wings and flew away.

"Ah?" Li Su was stunned. This... the old hooligan adjusted his brain waves to which channel? Why is communication so difficult?

"Cheng, Uncle Cheng... The things you give to you are not a cow. This cow is here to pull the cart. The things on the cart are given to you." Li Su was frightened and explained stammeringly.

"Oh? Isn't the cow a given to me?" Cheng Yaojin's eyes seemed a little disappointed.

"No, really not!" Li Su answered extremely seriously. He had to be serious. If this old hooligan becomes more and more gangster, he will still be implicated in the lawsuit.

"Oh, look at what's in the car..." Cheng Yaojin was a little embarrassed and glanced casually: "Lucai? Haha, what a little kid, it's really a good thing to plant it, it's also a happy event!"

He turned around and suddenly shouted at the door of the mansion: "Get out of no one inside, go and move the green vegetables in the car, be careful! In the cold winter, green vegetables are more precious than your life."

Li Su was relieved. This is what a normal person should have. He worked hard to grow green vegetables for two months, so he couldn't get a look of disgust, right?

Cheng Yaojin looked at it for a while and saw that the green vegetables were lush and green, tender and tender. He looked at it and was happy, so he really became happy and pulled Li Su to the mansion.

"Come here, hold a banquet for me quickly. Today I will have a banquet for green vegetables. Call out all the six incompetent little bastards and toast a few bowls of wine for Li's widow!"

Li Su's face turned pale and the green cabbage was moved in. Why are you still drinking?

I deeply hate my inability to remember, why do I always break into this dragon and tiger den, and I break into it again and again...

Being forced by Cheng Yaojin, Li Su staggered into the threshold of the Cheng family. As soon as he took a step in, Cheng Yaojin suddenly stopped and turned around and looked at the cow outside the door reluctantly.

"Little kid, isn't that cow really given to me?"

Li Su shook his head quickly and firmly. This is a matter of principle. You cannot be ambiguous at all. If you are ambiguous, you will be sued.

Cheng Yaojin stared at him for a while and grinned: "Don't make a fuss! To be honest, that cow must have been given to me, right?"

"Uncle Cheng,... it's not." Li Su gritted her teeth and said firmly.
