Mysterious Tang Dynasty

On the second day after Concubine Dou wrote to her daughter-in-law Lin, it was only after noon, and the Sui Wang couple, who went to the palace to plead guilty, met their eldest son Li Dai.

Sui Wang and his wife failed to see the saint today, they were still hung in the side hall for a long time in the cold wind, relying on a brazier and a pot of milk tea sent by the imperial concubine to persevere until Gao Lishi brought news of Li Dai.

Li Dai has been officially released.Although the sage did not make an official decree, but Gao Lishi dared to send this news to the king of Sui, naturally he had the sage's permission.It's just that although Li Dai was able to gain freedom, he also lost the title of heir king. He still declared to the outside world that it was the king of Sui who denounced the eldest son for being unfilial and wrote a letter asking him to abolish the eldest son's succession. The sage is naturally a good brother who respects his brother's wishes, not mean and ungrateful The emperor who treated the clan harshly.Since then, Li Dai's reputation has been discredited, let alone competing for the position of the heir, and even those who want to find a small official position have no hope. One of them succeeded his father to the throne.He couldn't get angry yet, or he wouldn't be able to count on the brotherhood to protect him.

Without the halo of the heir to the Sui Palace, what is Li Dai?He can't even support himself.

But even so, King Sui was very satisfied.The eldest son can save his life, be free, and go home for a reunion. How could he dare to ask for more?He took his wife and knelt down in front of the palace where the saint was again to give thanks.It wasn't until little Gao Lishi came to persuade him according to the will of the saint that he got up and left.

In front of the gate of Xingqing Palace, he saw the eldest son, wearing a dirty Chinese attire, the same one that the latter wore at the renunciation ceremony that day, now it was crumpled and covered with something, and he couldn't see it anymore .As for Li Dai himself, after not seeing him for a few days, he lost weight twice, his pointed chin appeared, and thick dark circles still hung on his face.Li Dai had recuperated from the injury for a few months, and had already gained a lot of weight, but now he just returned to his original shape, which seemed to be different from the figure when his second wife just passed away more than two years ago, but there was no way to compare in spirit.

Li Dai didn't seem to have suffered much, but he was haggard and pale, as if he had been frightened by something, when he saw his father, he threw himself on him and cried loudly.

Seeing this, the king of Sui had a sore nose and couldn't help crying.But Concubine Dou looked around vigilantly and reminded him: "Go back to the mansion first, this is not a place to talk." King Sui reacted instantly, and hurriedly called the attendants who accompanied him to the palace to drive his carriage over, regardless of Li Dai. Still breaking down and crying, he half-dragged, half-pulled and half-forced people into the carriage, and he himself pulled his wife to follow the carriage, then ordered his entourage to turn around and drive towards Daozhengfang across the street.

When he returned to Sui Palace, Li Dai's crying was much quieter.Not because he had calmed down, but because he had lost strength.It is said that he was in prison for the past few days. At first he disliked the poor food in the prison, but later he was afraid and had no appetite to eat, so he was very hungry.If it wasn't for yesterday and this morning, I forced a bowl of rice porridge down, I'm afraid I would faint from hunger in front of the palace gate as soon as I got out of the prison, where would I have the strength to hold my father and cry?

After returning home, Li Dai swept away the light rice porridge and side dishes prepared by his wife Pei like a storm, and then went to wash and take a bath.By the time he cleans himself up, looks decent again, and reappears in front of his relatives, it is already sunset.

When Li Dai learned that he had been removed from the position of heir king, and that he would have to stay in the mansion to study and not be able to freely associate with outsiders, he couldn't sit still: "How could this be?! Aye, don't you believe me?" Have you been provoked by others?" As he spoke, he stared at his stepmother and third brother with suspicion and hatred.

Concubine Dou sneered: "You don't have to look at me like that. This is the will of the saint. I just didn't want the clan to be suspicious, so I deliberately excused that it was what the prince asked for in a letter. What can the prince do besides acquiescing? You can still yell that the saint is lying. ?!"

Li Dai was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "Li Niang, did you pray for you, Aye, and me with all your heart?! If you are sincere enough, why does Aye have to suffer so much?!"

If you don't have children to sincerely pray for blessings, your original fate may be even more terrible!

It was rare for Li Dai to be clever, and he quickly understood what the little daughter meant, and couldn't help shivering, his complexion turned pale again, but he didn't dare to blame his daughter anymore.If he really relied on the protection of the gods to escape the disaster, and now complaining about his daughter's lack of sincerity, wouldn't he be complaining about the gods' refusal to show mercy?What if you offend the gods and bring even greater disasters to yourself?
King Sui coughed at his head, and with a gloomy face, he beckoned his eldest son over.Now that the disaster has come to an end, and the eldest son has returned home safely, the sage just dismissed his prince, and did not punish the Sui palace. Let the eldest son drag the whole family down in a muddle!

All the family members gathered in the main room of the west courtyard where he lived, and even the eldest daughter Li Chujun, who had been under house arrest for a long time, appeared.The youngest daughter, Li Lijun, who hadn't seen her for a long time, changed into a little Taoist priest's attire, and sat in a corner with her face up to the sky. When she looked up, her eyes were calm and indifferent, not looking at her own father at all.

Li Lijun said lightly: "You are always merciful, how do you know that you can return home safely now, is it not the result of the blessing of gods and Buddhas?"

Li Lang also said: "Brother, my younger brother has not won the position of heir king. In a few days, my younger brother will be sent out, and I don't know how many years it will take to return to Chang'an City to reunite with his parents. If these suspicions There's no need to talk nonsense, right? Do you think we brothers will benefit from losing the position of heir king? We're all one family, isn't it all prosperous and all hurt?!"

Li Jiu also said with a gloomy face beside him, "It's really thanks to my brother, who didn't keep his mouth shut, made a big mistake and was able to retreat unscathed, which made my younger brothers suffer." The father also hinted that he asked himself to let it go up.He was very unhappy in his heart, and his wife complained in private, but he didn't have the guts to disobey his father, and he was worried about it.

Li Dai didn't expect such a result, he was dumbfounded.

Concubine Dou said again: "The successor to the King of the Sui Dynasty, who will get it in the future depends on the meaning of the sage. After a hundred years from the prince, maybe Sanlang will get it, but Erlang may not be able to get it. No, the sage just took back the palace, Huangzhuang and closed households, and no longer has to support our family. If you don’t want to end up like that, I advise you to be more cautious in your words and deeds, and don’t be as confused as before It's day."

Seeing his wives and children uttering cruel words, King Sui cleared his throat, and said to the stunned eldest son, "You heard it all? If you can survive safely, it is the grace of the saints. You must cherish your blessings! In the future, you are not allowed to talk to those If you are friends with friends, you should follow your father to recite scriptures and worship Buddha, and cultivate your self-cultivation. In a few days, when your sister gets married, your father will move to Daci'en Temple to clean up for a period of time. You should go there with your father, and you must let the saint see you The sincerity of repentance!
"Don't bother your daughter-in-law either. It's not easy for her these days. She runs around for you with her big belly, and she has been wronged so much! As long as you have a conscience, you shouldn't complain at all. If you are still like the past Ridiculous, let your daughter-in-law be wronged. When she gives birth to a child, as a father, you must uphold justice. Let her reconcile with you and find another husband to live with! If you don’t want to end up with your wife and children, give me Be honest! If you dare to mess up again and cause trouble everywhere, I will break your legs!"
