Faith is a personal matter. Believing or not is related to one's own heart.

There were many people in the Tang Dynasty who believed in Buddhism and Taoism, and even the monarchs and ministers respected Buddhism and Taoism very much. Li Shimin performed more than ten blessing rituals and temples in the name of the royal family every year. He was very respectful to famous monks and Taoists. Regardless of whether Li Shimin believed in Buddhism or not, his posture was still very sincere. From a political perspective, the rumors of Buddhism and Taoism spread widely among the people and the strong foundation of the people, and the emperor had to cater to the point of seeking recognition from scholars and the people. What's more, the founder of Taoism was also the ancestor of the legend of the Li family, although this ancestor may not agree very much...

Having faith is a good thing, and not having faith is not necessarily unforgivable. The Tang Dynasty was an enlightened dynasty, and everyone could get relative freedom, but people without faith could not insult other people's beliefs. This is the bottom line and the most basic moral code of being a human being.

The voice behind her came, and Wu was shocked. She immediately realized that she had caused trouble, and that she had caused a lot of trouble.

The leisurely life in the Taoist temple these days has made her unconsciously relax her tense nerves. In this small Taoist temple, she does not have to be wary of anyone, is not afraid of someone harming her, nor is she afraid of the survival crisis that is about to come at any time.

After all, Wu was just a woman in her early twenties. She was scheming and scheming, but lacked self-discipline. So after a few days of leisure and comfort, she unknowingly became lazy and got lost.

The voice behind her was unfamiliar, but her tone made Wu change color. She was a clever person. There was no one else who could speak in this tone in the Taoist temple except Princess Dongyang.

Turning around tremblingly, Wu saw Dongyang's pretty face with expressionless face at first glance, without anger or anger, his eyes were indifferent. It seemed that the sentence just now was just a very real fact.

With a plop, Wu knelt down without hesitation and kowtowed hard toward Dongyang. Every time he kowtowed, his forehead would be thumping. It was very real.

"I am lost for a moment. Your Highness, please spare me this time..." After saying that, Wu's tears also slid down, his expression was filled with deep guilt and self-blame, and a perfect attitude of confessing guilt.

Dongyang looked at her quietly. She had already been famous for Wu. Li Su mentioned it several times. His tone was neither salty nor light, but he seemed to care about her. Every time he mentioned her, there was always a mysterious color in his eyes, which made Dongyang very puzzled.

The so-called care is chaos. Dongyang didn't know what kind of emotions Li Su had towards this Wu family. It was said that it was a relationship between men and women, but every time he mentioned her, his expression and eyes were very clear and calm, and there was no sign of a relationship between men and women. But for no reason, he was far away in Taiping Village and cared about a woman who had fallen into the palace. This fact is completely unreasonable...

Dongyang has tried several times. But Li Su always cleverly avoided this topic or completely denied the existence of a relationship between men and women, so... Dongyang became even more confused.

At this moment, the woman who had confused her for many days knelt in front of her, kowtowed and confessed to her guilt. I saw Youlian, her pretty face like a pear blossom in the rain, was covered with regret. Such an expression, such a delicate and beautiful face. Even if she made a huge mistake, any man would forgive her if he saw it, right?

Dongyang sighed secretly. No wonder, with his father's experience and age, he could keep her by his side for several years. This woman did not talk about her skills, but her merciless face alone would be enough to make all men feel soft. If she met Li Su in the future, would Li Su treat her?

A jealousy and jealousy quietly surged into Dongyang's heart.

Dongyang is kind, gentle and loyal. She has all the good qualities of women, but she, after all, is still a woman, and women are inevitably jealous and jealous.

For a moment, Dongyang even developed a murderous intent to Wu. She wanted to get rid of this woman who might compete with her for favor in the future, and it would be over.

The murderous intent was only a moment, and kindness finally defeated the evil thoughts. When Dongyang came to his senses, he couldn't help feeling guilty. After secretly thinking about the sins, his mood suddenly became calm.

"Get up, it's your own business to not believe in God, and it's not considered offending..." Dongyang said lightly: "You can disbelief and disrespect Laojun, but you can't insult him, because if you don't believe in things you don't believe, if others believe in them, you insult him, and this 'other' also includes me."

Wu stopped kowtowing, stunned for a moment, and suddenly burst into tears: "Your Highness, I really know my guilt. I just came out of the palace. Everyone in the Taoist temple treats me well. I have been lazy and indulged in the state of mind. I have indulged in a moment. I... I wish to repent in front of Laojun's statue and redeem my sin of disrespect today."

Dongyang glanced at her indifferently and said, "Whatever you want, this is a Taoist temple. You are a monk. Who can stop you if you recite scriptures?"

After saying that, Dongyang paused and said, "Since you have become a monk by orders, can you have a name for the Tao?"

Wu said hurriedly: "I haven't obtained it."

Dongyang pondered for a moment, looked at her deeply, and said, "Whether you believe or not, you are already a Taoist sect. Whether you regard it as a stop or as a destination, since the Tao follows nature, in the end, nature is also as your heart. The various paths of heaven and earth, whether nature or as your heart, are ultimately inseparable from the word "enlightenment". After understanding thoroughly, you can find your destination if you cannot become a monk, believe in or not, and your Taoist name will be called "Wuhui" in the future."

Wu's joy flashed and hurriedly said, "I understand the truth, thank Your Highness for giving you a name."

Dongyang nodded, ignored her, and turned around and left gracefully.

It was not until the footsteps left that Wu stood up and quietly wiped his forehead. He found that he was sweating like a slurry and was bursting into tears.

Xing'er, who was beside her, also got up, walked to her and said timidly: "Miss Wu..."

Wu turned his head and said, "Today is my fault. Xing'er, you are right to remind me. I shouldn't be so arrogant. Since I have become a monk, I will be a monk. From now on, the world has nothing to do with me. I will only serve the Taoist Lord."

The hairpin that I had just shown off was taken out from my arms. Wu's expression was reluctant to leave. He firmly handed it to Xing'er and said, "Xing'er, you are not a monk, so I'll give it to you. After all, it's a good object and I won't need it anymore. From today on, I will be a disciple of the Taoist throne. Any ritual of serving will never be disrespectful in the future."

Xing'er hesitated to take the hairpin and stared at Wu as if she didn't know him.

Wu had turned around and knelt down at Laojun. He bowed a Taoist magnificently and murmured: "Daojun is above, and his disciple Wuhui offended the golden body today, and his great sin cannot escape. The disciple is willing to recite the scriptures in front of the golden body for forty-nine days to redeem the sins of ten thousand deaths, and ask Daojun to forgive his disciples."

After muttering, Wu began to recite scriptures with a pious expression, but when he looked up at the golden body of Taoist Lord, his eyes were still as indifferent and cold as usual.

She still has no faith and no respect. The only thing she believes in in this life is herself, only respect herself.

She is a smart person, maybe she is too smart.

He recited the scriptures without any thoughts, but he was repeatedly chewing on the conversation he had just had with His Royal Highness the Princess.

Judging from Princess Dongyang's attitude towards her just now, Wu Shi can be sure of two things.

First, Princess Dongyang had no good feelings for her. For a moment, she even noticed the hostility emitted by the princess.

Second, from this, it should be the meaning of the person behind the princess to take her out of the tang. The princess is just an executor, and the execution is reluctant, and the person who can make a princess reluctant but has to do this, except for the legendary Marquis of Li County, no other person in the world can do it.

As for why the Marquis of Li County did this, what was his purpose of helping him, Wu was not in a hurry at this moment.

Water will always come out. She believes that she will meet the Marquis of Li County for one day, and the answer to the mystery that has been lingering for a long time will eventually be solved. If you approach him too deliberately now, you will fall into a bad situation and be even more jealous of the princess. It is better to go with the flow.

***************************************************************

The imperial edict was very fast, faster than expected. Li Su rode a fast horse and rushed home, just in time with the eunuch who was sending the imperial edict.

The Li family knelt in the courtyard to receive the order. After reading the order, the eunuch turned around and left. Li Daozheng and Xu Mingzhu looked at Li Su in surprise.

Li Suqiang smiled and said, "It's like this to eat imperial grain. You can't help yourself when you leave or stay. Fortunately, you don't have to leave the customs this time. Jinyang is not far from our Chang'an, so my father and wife don't have to worry about me."

Xu Mingzhu's eyes were filled with tears, she lowered her head and silent for a moment, sucked her nose hard, and choked and said, "I'll pack my husband..."

Li Daozheng shook his head and sighed, "Why do you leave just by saying that? How long has it been since I returned from Xizhou and have to leave home again... There are so many ministers and generals in the court, but can you do the job alone?"

Li Su smiled bitterly.

The words my father asked were actually exactly what he wanted to ask. There were so many civil and military officials in the court, but he only sent him to Jinyang for this chore. Although Fang Xuanling gave him a reason that he could not promote so that he could only send young court officials, Li Su always felt that this reason was too far-fetched, just like he claimed that he had brain disease, which was suspected of talking nonsense and insulting his IQ.

Could it be that... it was because Li Shimin saw that he was too lazy and idle when he was in the Secretariat, and he really didn't like him and had the ultimate patience, so he kicked him out of Chang'an and asked him to do some decent things so that he would not feel unbalanced as an emperor like a scattered rice insect that was just a waste of money and made him feel unbalanced?

Thinking of this, Li Su sighed sadly and murmured: "Boredness leads to disaster. You should really be more diligent in the future, at least you should act as a diligent attitude, otherwise the consequences will be worrying."
