Mysterious Tang Dynasty

On the day when the renunciation ceremony was held, the city of Chang'an was sunny and sunny.

The ceremony was arranged to be held in a waterfront building with a large hall in the back garden of the Sui Palace.Although the first month has just come out and it is early spring, the weather is still quite cold.Screens were erected around the hall to keep the cold wind out, and large braziers were placed in the four corners of the hall, making the whole space warm.

Concubine Pei originally put on a fur fur specially to keep warm, but now she was so hot that she took it off, leaving only the brocade drape to keep out the cold.

Princess Yuzhenchang sat upright, and Princess Wan'an sat beside her.These two royal women's crowns are witnesses to today's ceremony, and the latter also temporarily acted as the teacher.It wasn't that Princess Yuzhen didn't want to accept the fourth wife of the Sui Palace as her disciple, but she just felt that Princess Wan'an was a more appropriate candidate in terms of seniority.

Princess Wan'an is now practicing in Jinxian Temple.She came here today, and she also brought several female crowns from the Golden Immortal Temple to act as the deacon in today's ceremony.Princess Yuzheng also contributed a small private band, all of which are handsome little Taoist priests, who are in charge of today's music.

When the auspicious time came, Li Lijun was wearing the daily attire of a clan girl. Under the guidance of Princess Wan'an, she came to the statue of the Taoist ancestor of Sanqing. First, Princess Wan'an offered incense, and then Li Lijun saluted her master, Princess Wan'an.Then, under the background of Taoist music, she knelt facing the north and told the whole story of her becoming a monk.Then, Princess Wan'an led Li Lijun to bow in the direction of the palace.

Afterwards, it was time for Li Lijun to bid farewell to her grandparents, parents, relatives and friends.

The last time she clearly explained her intention to become a monk to her family, and said goodbye to her family and went to Ziyun Mountain House, she had already gone through this procedure, and she had already regarded herself as a monk in her heart.Going through the process again today, she felt very calm.Concubine Dou, who used to cry into tears, couldn't help but her eyes were red again, but today she was also much calmer.

King Sui sighed and sighed, but he still didn't say anything.Concubine Pei fulfilled her duties as a stepmother with restraint, and told her to take good care of herself, and if she had any difficulties, just go home and ask for help.Only Li Dai still wanted his little daughter to pray for him, and specifically told her to be sincere when visiting the worship, and never be perfunctory, because her heart was not sincere, Sanqing Daozu might not agree to her request .

That was a great disadvantage to his father.

After saying this, even the second and third couples who had been sitting quietly on the sidelines, and Li Wanzhi, the head of Pingdu County, couldn't help but want to roll their eyes.Everyone looked at Li Lijun involuntarily with a bit of love and affection, and sighed how could this child have such a selfish father? !

Among the guests present were the family members who were close to the Chen family and Li Lijun's mother and son in the past, such as the princess of Jiyin County.Several female family members couldn't understand the decision of the Sui Palace to allow Li Lijun, a young lady of cardamom age, to become a monk, and they often said Li Dai's fault in private.But now they appeared in the Sui Palace and heard Li Dai's speech with their own ears, and they all felt that it might be a good choice for Li Lijun to become a monk.At any rate, she no longer needs to be at the mercy of such an irresponsible father.

As for Li Yanjun and Li Wenliang, they didn't get permission to attend today's ceremony at all, and they are still complaining quietly in the former's yard.

What does this mean?Are the Angels and the Custodians coming?King Nasi... Has the saint sent troops to arrest Li Dai?Why? !

Li Jianrang sat down, his eyes were already red.He thought of his younger sister Li Chujun who had not yet been freed, and he couldn't tell which younger sister had a more miserable life.

Li Dai is indeed not up to the mark, no matter how much he suffers, Princess Yuzhen will not feel bad.But the marriage between him and Princess Pei was strongly advocated by Princess Yuzhen, and she even persuaded King Sui to agree to the marriage.Now if Li Dai has something good or bad, wouldn't it be that she, the matchmaker, harmed her niece?Concubine Pei still has a big belly, but her younger sister, Princess Huo Guochang, has a small ailment. The older she gets, the worse her health becomes.Princess Yuzhen was worried that she would not be able to face her sister, and she only blamed Li Dai for causing trouble by talking nonsense, and Yang Guozhong was too narrow-minded and did not give the clan any face.

Princess Wan'an, who was wearing a full tuxedo, frowned and looked in the direction of the noise, without saying a word.Princess Pei immediately signaled her confidantes to ask what was going on.

Everyone was stunned.

Li Lijun came back after resigning from a circle of relatives and friends, and the next step is the link of conversion and clothing.

Not long after the confidant attendant left, he ran back with a pale face, and reported with a look of panic on his face: "My lord, my concubine, my eldest princess, Your Royal Highness, outside... people from the imperial army are here... the inner court... An angel arrived... said yes... said he wanted to take the heir king back..."

Li Dai still doesn't know that his reputation has been discredited in the circle of the clan and women.After he finished the process of saying goodbye to his daughter, he felt restless and always felt irritable, and he didn't know where it came from.

Li Lijun stood calmly in the hall, didn't ask anyone, and didn't show any worried expression.

Princess Yuzhen's complexion is not very good-looking.Today, she came to witness her younger brother's granddaughter becoming a monk, and she had greeted the saint in advance.Why didn't the saint say that he would send troops to arrest people?If she had mentioned it at that time, she would not have bothered with this matter, and would have given her niece a little reminder so that Princess Pei could make preparations in advance.But now, everyone is watching!People from the royal palaces of the close clans all came.Let them watch Li Dai being taken away, what face does the Sui Palace have? !

King Sui immediately ignored his granddaughter's renunciation ceremony, and immediately got up and strode out.Concubine Dou glared at her stepson angrily, but Li Dai unexpectedly did not hate her stepmother today, because he was already stunned by the sudden news, and collapsed on the seat profusely in sweat, as if being taken away by someone Like a broken bone, his body was still shaking slightly.

As the music played again, Li Lijun was led to the statue of the Taoist ancestor of the Sanqing. The female crowns of the Golden Immortal Crown held trays containing several things and walked to the side. The deacon was about to speak, but suddenly there was a commotion outside.

The King of Sui glared at the disappointing eldest son several times, and Li Dai restrained himself a little, showing patience, instead of finding a reason to leave immediately.Princess Yuzhen is still present, this aunt is very respectable in front of saints and noble concubines, he can't leave a bad impression on her.

She just has some regrets.If the ordination ceremony was not completed today, then is she considered a renunciation today, or is she not a renunciation?

After a while, King Sui walked back with a pale face, and after sitting back in his original seat, he squeezed out a sentence through his teeth: "Adai, you can go to the palace with the angel."

Li Dai trembled all over, and said sharply: "No—"

"I tell you to go, you go!" King Sui suddenly became angry, "You have the guts to speak out in front of Li Linfu's son and speak disrespectful words. Today you should have the courage to explain to the saint what you have done! Li Linfu All your sons have been recruited, so what else can you deny? Instead of making sophistry and disgusting the sage, you might as well admit to the sage honestly that you are an idiot!"

For the ceremony of becoming a monk, I refer to the "Tai Shang Monk Chuan Du Yi" by Jia Shanxiang, a Taoist priest in the Northern Song Dynasty, but it is basically all the information found on the Internet.
