I directed the Xuanwumen Incident

Xu Fenglei was taken aback.

"Why did your Majesty say this?"

Didn't you just want to 'join the grand event'?Why do you regret it again?

"To be precise, it's because of the queen."

Li Shimin took a puff lightly, leaned against the window and let out the smoke, and said with a worried look on his face,

"I regret taking her out."

"Her body and bones are getting weaker and weaker. She just went to the palace last year, and she couldn't hold on anymore. She was ill and recovered with difficulty."

"Going to Fengchan now, the journey is too far away, and even I can't bear it after a few months of driving, let alone her?"

"I can see her complexion is getting worse and worse, and her meals are less than usual... There is still half of the journey."

"Ugh!"

After saying this, he felt even more annoyed.

But if you don't say it, it won't be a good feeling to be bored... After much deliberation, it's not appropriate to tell anyone, and only Xu Fenglei can chat and complain.

"The empress's body is indeed surprisingly weak."

Xu Fenglei frowned after listening, and said softly,
"Accordingly, it shouldn't be."

According to the historical trajectory, she did only have five years to live, so it's not surprising that she looks sickly now.

But I obviously interfered!
Originally, after Li Zhi, the eldest grandson Wugou would have another child, which would consume a lot of body and would inevitably accelerate the loss of lifespan.

But at his request, Li Shimin also strictly followed the principle of not making babies, so Princess Sizi, who was supposed to die early, was not born.

It stands to reason that the queen's spirit should improve a lot...how can the lifespan be extended by two years?
"That's right, you said her body can't survive, I have completely restrained myself, and I dare not take a step past the thunder!"

Li Shimin said worriedly,

"But she's like this now... I'm really terrified."

"Ask her to go back, but she refuses to go back... She said she must accompany me to finish Feng Chan, alas, I'm so worried!"

Anxiety and even a trace of fear rose in his heart!
He was afraid...afraid that his first wife would leave him...

"Your Majesty, please be patient."

Xu Fenglei pondered for a while, and said,

"How about this, I'll edit a book and ask Sun Simiao to come and accompany me."

"With him taking care of her, the Empress will be safe."

Invite Sun Simiao every now and then... There is nothing he can do about it.

The Empress's illness is destined to be treated mildly, but if the medicine is mild and effective, the requirements for the doctor are very high.

Sun Simiao is the only one who has this ability in this world.

Li Shimin nodded again and again.

"Okay, okay, that's the best."

He hesitated for a moment, then said,
"However, traveling a long distance, can Sun Zhenren bear it? Will he not want to come?"

An expert of Sun Simiao's level can no longer be dispatched at will with just one imperial decree.

People don't like to talk to you, if you go straight into the Qinling Mountains, you can only stare blankly.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will ask him, and he will come."

Xu Fenglei said firmly,

"Even if his true self doesn't come, his true disciple Lin Xing will come. That kid is a successor, and his medical skills are also good. He is much better than those wastes in the Imperial Hospital."

Li Shimin was relieved after hearing this.

"It seems that it is right to let Lizhi study medicine."

He said seriously,

"Tell her to study hard and don't be half-hearted."

"At critical moments, my own family is always more reliable, and there is no need for others."

Xu Fenglei nodded and was about to speak when the carriage stopped.

"Your Majesty, we have arrived in Luoyang."

Li Junxian's voice came from outside, asking,
"Do you want to go directly to the palace?"

Li Shimin was startled.

"Luoyang is here."

He got up and got off the dragon chariot, and saw the city wall outside.

"Every plant and tree here is familiar to me..."

Li Shimin said with emotion,

"Back then...forget it, heroes don't mention being brave back then."

As he was speaking, when the carriage in front got off, Changsun Wugou also got off with the support of Li Chengqian and Li Tai.

It's just that her footsteps were a little vain, and her face was a little pale and lost all color.

As soon as the wind blew, she couldn't stop coughing.

"Guanyin maidservant, what are you doing down here? It's windy outside the city..."

Li Shimin hurriedly stepped forward to shield her from the wind, and said with concern,

"Do you feel better?"

"This time, let's stay in Luoyang for a while before we set off, shall we?"

Grandson Wugou nodded slightly.

"I also like Luoyang very much. I don't know if Master Kongyuan of Baima Temple is still there."

she whispered,

"I want to go and see."

"Okay, okay, I also have the same intention and want to take you to the White Horse Temple to pray for blessings." Li Shimin helped her get on the carriage again, and then said to Li Junxian, "I'm going to the White Horse Temple, and the rest Let’s settle down in Luoyang first!”

"Follow the order!" Li Junxian accepted the order in response.

The dragon chariot moved slowly, and was greeted by the people of Luoyang, all the way into the city.

……

Luoyang, inside the White Horse Temple.

Xu Fenglei followed behind Li Shimin, helping to watch the two children, looking left and right.

The pines and cypresses in the temple are green and the ginkgo is towering.

The sweet osmanthus fragrance makes people feel refreshed when they smell it.

"Beautiful environment, rigorous layout, simple atmosphere."

He praised,
"As expected of a famous ancient temple, if I'm old and have nothing to do, I'll set up a dojo like this. How good is it for self-cultivation?"

How else can we say that eminent monks and Taoists live longer.

With such a good environment, whoever comes here will live another two years!

"Master, you also want to open a temple? What's the name?"

Li Chengqian looked up at Xu Fenglei, and said with great interest,
"Baby help you name it?"

"I'll come, I'll call Fengleiguan! It sounds amazing!" Li Tai yelled.

"Tacky! It's not as good as a hair in Tai Chi Taoism!"

"You're so tacky!"

The two fought each other.

These two guys had a better relationship when they were young, maybe because they both reached the age when the dogs at home would dislike them, they didn't get along with each other, and they fought each other there every day.

Xu Fenglei didn't take it seriously, and led them into the archway.

In front of him, there were already a group of monks waiting to greet him.

"Old monk, see Your Majesty, see Your Majesty."

The leading abbot put his palms together and bowed to salute.

"See Your Majesty, see Your Majesty."

All the monks and monks saluted respectfully.

"Zen Master Kongyuan, I haven't seen you for many years."

The eldest grandson Wugou also clasped his hands together, showing a smile, and said,
"Are you in good health?"

Kong Yuan shook his head.

"The body is just a skin, good or bad, what does it matter?"

He smiled lightly,

"The old monk never looks at his own body... Maybe it's okay."

Changsun Wugou nodded, realizing something.

"Been taught a lesson."

Xu Fenglei's teeth ached when he heard it.

This old monk can really pretend!

Taoism pays attention to the dual cultivation of life and life. On the road to immortality, this skin is very important!
It doesn't stink!Very fragrant!
However, he won't be angry, after all, Buddhism has Buddhist ideas, and Taoism has Taoist ideas.

Taoism seeks to become an immortal, and roam freely between heaven and earth.

Buddhism seeks liberation, and Nirvana is free from the suffering of samsara.

The philosophy is different.

"Monk Kongyuan, I want to give alms."

Li Shimin said in a deep voice,

"Donate 1 taels of silver to pray for the queen's illness."

All the novice monks were shocked when they heard this.

The emperor deserves to be the emperor!It's a big deal right from the start!When they heard the words 'Giving 1 taels', they couldn't stand still, and they were busy chanting the Buddha's name to stabilize their mood.

Different from them, the old monk Kongyuan remained motionless, very stable.

Hearing 1 taels, he didn't even bat an eyelid.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

He bowed slightly and said,

"Your Majesty has such a kind heart, donate the Three Treasures, and the empress's health will definitely recover."

"Please follow the old monk to the Medicine Buddha."

With that said, he walked into the hall behind him.

Li Shimin and his eldest grandson Wugou looked at each other, and also followed.

"Walk."

Xu Fenglei pouted and said,

"Chengqian, Qingque."

"If your master and I open a Taoist temple in the future, you all have to come and support us."

"Not too much, just donate tens of thousands of taels, and get some tea money for Master."

Li Chengqian blinked.

Li Tai scratched his head.

The two simply did not hear.

"Little heartless!"

Xu Fenglei pushed them both, and scolded with a smile,
"Let's go!"

"Go and pray for your mother!"

"You have to be sincere! Sincere heart is spiritual! No matter what, your mother will be pleased to see your filial piety."

……

Inside the Hall of Pharmacists.

The old monk Kongyuan knelt on the futon and kowtowed to Medicine Buddha.

Li Shimin and Changsun Wugou also stepped forward and knelt on the futon together.

Changsun Wugou closed his eyes, chanted the Buddha's name, and kowtowed down.

Li Shimin stared at the tall golden body of the Buddha statue, and sighed softly.

"I didn't believe in Buddhism, I didn't believe in it, but at this time... I have to believe it, and I hope that there are Buddhas and Taoists in the world who can hear my request."

he whispered,

"I only wish Guanyin's servant girl to be in good health. If she dies, I will come to fulfill my wish."

After all, he kowtowed his head.

He, Li Shimin, knelt down and knelt down to his parents, but he had never kowtowed to the Buddha!

Because he doesn't believe it!He only believes in his ability and power, which is the key to solve everything!

But in the end... there were times when he was helpless.

At times like this, I can only pray to this golden Buddha statue, no matter what... If I kowtow my head, my soul must be somewhat comforted.

"Nanwu Pharmacist Liuliguang King Tathagata."

The old monk Kongyuan got up slowly and recited a Buddha's name.

He stretched out a hand, stroking the air in front of Changsun Wugou's forehead, and softly recited scriptures.

And as he recited, Changsun Wugou's expression gradually improved.

Seeing this, Li Shimin's eyes suddenly showed surprise.

This... really works?
"Empress, you have distracting thoughts and worries in your heart, and these are also things that consume your body."

Monk Kongyuan said in a deep voice,
"You must know that there is no hindrance in the heart, and there is no fear."

"Stay away from upside-down dreams...Quietness is waiting for enlightenment."

Changsun Wugou nodded seriously.

"Zen Master Xie Kongyuan made a point, I understand."

she sighed,

"In the palace on weekdays, it must be too boring, and it is easy to think about all kinds of wild things. The more you think about it, the more you worry and worry, and you always feel that you have lost your righteousness."

"Now that I got some advice from the Zen master, I realized that... I was thinking too much."

The old monk Kongyuan nodded.

"Amitabha."

wow.

Li Chengqian ran up, took his place, and knelt on the futon.

"Buddha, Buddha! Please! Let my mother get well!"

Boom!

After he finished speaking, he kowtowed firmly on the futon twice.

Seeing this, Li Tai was not to be outdone, he squeezed a seat when he came up, and kowtowed:

"Pray for the blessing of the Buddha, please bless the queen mother to be healthy and live a long life!"

"Father wants it too... Master wants it too! I... I want it too!"

He knocked several times in a row, louder than Li Chengqian!
"Hey! I'm coming too! I beseech Buddha to bless father, mother, master, younger brother, younger sister...all those who are related to me, live a long life... a thousand years old!"

How could Li Chengqian let him?He also yelled.

The two competed vigorously, and it became a kowtow competition!

Fortunately, Li Lizhi didn't come, otherwise the three of them would have scored a championship and a runner-up!

Seeing this, the eldest grandson Wugou smiled.

"These two troublemakers..."

She rejoiced,

"Okay, okay, don't make trouble anymore."

"You have this kind of filial piety, the queen mother knows it in her heart, don't disturb the quietness of the palace."

Li Shimin was also overjoyed to see the two of them making a fuss, and scolded with a smile:
"Like you guys are fighting nonsense, the Buddha shook his head when he saw it! What else can he bless you?"

"Get up! I see you all want to be beaten!"

The hearts of the two teenagers thumped, and then they got up from the futon in a hurry, and stood up obediently.

"Guanyin maidservant, I haven't heard you mention this before... It wasn't the old monk Kongyuan who mentioned it, I'm afraid I didn't even know about it."

Li Shimin said with some doubts,
"What are you worrying about?"

Grandson Wugou shook his head.

"Nothing, just random thoughts."

"I didn't tell you, because I was afraid that you would also feel troubled and unhappy at that time, so that would be bad."

The old monk Kongyuan nodded slightly.

"The queen's idea is right."

he laughed,
"It's noon, and dinner is open in the temple. I wonder how the empress's appetite is?"

"Why don't we have a fast meal in the temple?"

The eldest grandson Wugou's expression changed.

"Okay, I haven't tasted the vegetarian food at Baima Temple for a long time, I don't know if it's still the same as before."

she said,

"Erfeng, listen to Ming, come and have a meal with me."

"There are no fresh vegetables to eat on the road, and the stomach and intestines are uncomfortable."

Without hesitation, the two agreed decisively.

I am here to accompany you today, you can do whatever you say, and do whatever you want... We will accompany you.

……

After a long while, in the meditation room in the backyard.

The eldest grandson Wugou had eaten the fast meal and felt a little sleepy, so Kong Yuan immediately vacated a clean meditation room for her to take a nap.

Li Shimin and Xu Fenglei stood guard outside the door.

And Li Chengqian and Li Tai?These two guys are already playing hide and seek in the temple!
"belch!"

Xu Fenglei burped and said,

"I have to say, the vegetarian food in this temple is delicious! The taste of the tofu... I can't make that taste at home, um... what kind of taste is that?"

Li Shimin leaned back on the chair and smiled slightly.

"Smell, the smell of joss sticks."

He closed his eyes and said,
"I'm also a little sleepy from the fragrance, so don't talk."

"I'll also squint for a while..."
