Sui and Tang Dynasties: Killing Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty to sacrifice to heaven at the beginni

Chapter 241 Chengfu Temple meets Chai Shao by chance.

In fact, is it true that Li Yuan's wife, Dou Shi, is getting more and more ill?This is simply not the case.This is what Li Shimin and his mother had discussed, and asked his mother to pretend to be sick and trick Li Yuan away first.Once Li Yuan left, the stone in Li Shimin and Li Shentong's hearts fell to the ground.

"You little bastard, you asked me to lie to your father with you, what do you want to do?" Dou said in the bedroom, twisting Li Shimin's ear.

"Mom, listen to my explanation."

"I'm also doing this for the sake of my second sister and our Li family." Li Shimin grinned in pain and explained.

Mrs. Dou let go of Li Shimin's ear, and after sitting down, Li Shimin said to his mother: "Mother, if you want me to see my father, you are so confused, what do you think he is always thinking about the marriage contract with Mrs. Chai?"

"Let's not say that Chai's family has been ransacked and exterminated. I don't know if Chai Shao is dead or alive. The second sister and the prince are in love, so he just stands in the way."

"It's not that I said, if there is no help from the prince this time, I'm afraid it will be father who is exiled now. Mother, you said that staying in Taiyuan is a second-rank official position with real power. How many people are staring at this position? If it is not because of the second sister For the sake, can it be Dad's turn?"

"Hey, Shimin, your father is an honest man, and the most important thing is faith."

"Since the marriage agreement with Mrs. Chai has been made, letting your father regret the marriage will be harder than killing him." Mrs. Dou said with a sigh.

"Sister-in-law, my elder brother is not easy to weigh, you have to understand."

"We can't live in the past. If that Chai Shao is dead, will it be impossible for Xiuning to never marry?"

"Sister-in-law, let me say it's up to you to decide, let's promise Xiuning to the prince." Li Shentong also persuaded from the side.

"Mother, the most important thing is the second sister and the prince, that's a mutual love."

"You have to consider the happiness of the second sister." Li Shimin added from the side.

"Hey, if Xiuning is willing, then I will be the master." Dou nodded and said.

"My second sister agrees, mother, we can decide on this matter." Li Shimin said hastily.

The next day, after Mrs. Dou agreed to Li Shimin's matter, she always felt that she was guilty of not going to the Chai family.So, I thought of offering incense in the temple outside the city.

Since the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Buddhism and Taoism have been very popular. Later, Du Fu wrote a poem about 480 temples in the Southern Dynasties, How Many Towers in the Misty Rain, to describe the prosperity of Buddhism and Taoism in the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

During the process of unifying the world in the Sui Dynasty, although most of the temples and Taoist temples were destroyed in the flames of war, there are still a few remaining.

There is a Chengfu Temple outside Daxing City, which is very effective.When Li Yuan was first imprisoned, Mrs. Dou went to the temple to make a wish.Now that Li Yuan has saved his life, Mrs. Dou has not gone to restore it.

"Shimin, when your father was imprisoned that day, mother made a wish in Chengfu Temple, and now it's time to go to offer incense and fulfill the wish." Mrs. Dou said to Li Shimin.

"Mother, father was saved by the prince." Li Shimin replied.

"It's true that the prince saved it, and it was the Bodhisattva who asked the prince to save it." Madam Dou said.

Reasoning with a woman, especially when the woman is still your mother, is simply unreasonable.Therefore, Li Shimin also gave up reasoning with his mother.

"Mother, when are you going to fulfill your wish!" Li Shimin asked.

"Well, just tomorrow morning, let's get up early tomorrow, and I have to burn the first stick of incense." Mrs. Dou reminded.

Li Shimin thought to himself, since his mother wants to go, then go, anyway, he has nothing to do when he is idle.

The next morning, when it was still dark, Li Shimin ordered someone to hitch up the carriage, and with three or five family guards, he took his mother to Chengfu Temple.

Li Shimin and the others came early. When they arrived at Chengfu Temple, the temple gate had just opened, and the young monks in the temple were still worshiping.

Mrs. Dou, with the help of her maidservants, went to the main hall to offer incense and fulfill her vows, while Li Shimin stood in the courtyard with the nurse, watching with great interest the young monks who were chanting scriptures in the side hall.

All of a sudden, Li Shimin saw that among these monks, another one seemed familiar to him.Between the eyebrows of this person, he actually looks a bit like that Chai Shao who has been missing for more than ten years.

Li Yuan and Chai Shao's fathers were close friends, and Li Shimin and Chai Shao were also about the same age, and they were playmates when they were young.Although Chai Shao was only five or six years old when he disappeared, Li Shimin still vaguely remembered his appearance.

"Yin Kaishan, go find out what that monk's name is."

"Be careful when inquiring, and don't let the old lady know." Li Shimin told his family leader.

After receiving Li Shimin's order, Yin Kaishan went to inquire about the news.He also has a monk in charge of logistics in this temple, after Yin Kaishan sent some money to the monk in charge of logistics.Then they inquired into the temple where this person came, what his Dharma name was, and what his life was called before he entered the Buddhist gate.

Yin Kaishan told Li Shimin the truthful news of the investigation, and Li Shimin immediately concluded that this person must be Chai Shao.

"Chai Shao, Chai Shao, you didn't show up early, you didn't show up late, and you just showed up at this time. You're asking me, what should I do?" Li Shimin said to himself.

"You must not let the old lady know about this matter." Li Shimin warned Yin Kaishan with a cold face.

"Young master, don't worry, my old Yin is not a gossip. My mouth is more explainable than the waistband of my trousers." Yin Kaishan said solemnly.

Li Shimin said in his heart, come on, you, your monthly expenses, [-]% of them are thrown into the brothel.How loose your mouth would be if it were the waistband of your trousers.

"Shimin, let's go back." At this time, Mrs. Dou also fulfilled her wish.

"Mother, let's go then." Li Shimin quickly supported Mrs. Dou and got into the carriage.

Li Shimin thought to himself, we have to leave quickly, if her mother sees Chai Shao and recognizes him, this matter will be troublesome.

After returning to the mansion, Li Shimin didn't say anything, and first went to his second uncle Li Shentong to discuss countermeasures.

Li Shimin told Li Shentong what he saw Chai Shao in Chengfu Temple, upon hearing this, Li Shentong's face immediately became gloomy.

"Shimin, this is not good."

"Your mother often goes to this Chengfu Temple. If she recognizes Chai Shaolai sometime, your second sister's matter is likely to be scandalous." Li Shentong said.

The reason why Mrs. Dou agreed to be the master and betroth Li Xiuning to Li Mu was that Chai Shaode did not know whether he was alive or dead.If it is known that Chai Shao is alive, Mrs. Dou probably will not agree.

As soon as Li Shen's voice finished speaking, Li Shimin's eyes flashed a cold light. He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words: "If not, let's let him die completely."
