I directed the Xuanwumen Incident

Li Shimin slowly opened his eyes, his expression was a little dazed.

He walked forward slowly, this is not a meditation room, nor is it Luoyang... It's not like any place in the Tang Dynasty!
The sky was gray, and the surrounding area was surrounded by fog, making it difficult to see clearly.

"This... where am I?"

Li Shimin walked forward in a daze.

Suddenly, a black dog appeared at the fork in front of him. The dog stuck out its red tongue and rushed towards him!

"Li Shimin, give me back my life!"

"Li Shimin, you are so comfortable being the emperor! You are so comfortable!"

The dark wind was blowing, but he saw a man with disheveled hair behind the black dog, walking towards him with his teeth and claws stretched out, and he was about to strangle his neck!

Li Shimin panicked, and when he saw the appearance of that person, he was even more dead!
"Wang... Wang Shichong?! You... are you a human or a ghost?!"

"Get out, get out!"

His mind was in a frenzy, and he ran away like a girl!A deadly run!
Running wildly all the way, the shock has not yet settled, and there is another fork in the road ahead.

At the fork in the road, there were two black shadows shaking.

"Li Shimin, I have been waiting for you for a long time, for a long time..."

"You're finally here, you're finally here too... Haha, hahaha..."

Two dark shadows rushed towards Li Shimin!
Li Er: "!!!"

The looks and postures of these two people, as well as the voice of the conversation... He is very familiar!
When they approached, Li Shimin was finally sure.

These two, one is Dou Jiande and the other is Liu Wuzhou!
They were all the people who had been killed by him!Now... they came to ask for their lives!

Is this... in hell?

"Go away, all go away!"

If he was commanding soldiers and horses to fight, he would not be afraid of these people at all, after all, they were all defeated by his subordinates.

But in this weird venue, he was already in a state of anxiety, plus the three of them came with a dog attacking and biting at him, how could he resist under the fear in his heart?
The only way is to run!

Boom boom boom!
Li Shimin broke free from the shackles of the few people, and ran forward crazily!
This time, he really put all his energy into breastfeeding, he was so tired that he was out of breath, like a pug, panting heavily with his tongue out!

But just when he thought he would get rid of the people behind him, there was another fork in the road ahead!

At that intersection, there were two people standing.

One has only a body and no head.

One has a head, but there is a big hole in the heart.

Li Shimin opened his eyes wide, and an unspeakable fear rose in his heart.

These two, these two are...

"Second brother, you are so comfortable, you are going to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen... Hehehe... Big brother is so envious of you..."

"You are the emperor, you can do anything, can you help eldest brother get his head back?"

The headless man didn't know what to say, and walked towards Li Shimin while talking.

Li Shimin: "!!!"

"Second brother, you are so majestic! You are going to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen...hehehe...fourth brother is so envious of you..."

"Fourth brother doesn't ask you for anything else, I beg second brother to help me get my heart back, hehehe..."

The black figure with a big hole in his chest also walked towards Li Shimin.

Two people, one is Li Jiancheng and the other is Li Yuanji!

When he met Dou Jiande and Liu Wuzhou just now, he still wanted to run away, but when Fairy saw these two brothers, she felt endless fear, shame, guilt... and even her legs went limp.

"You guys, don't come here!"

"Don't come here!"

"I don't know, I don't know! Go away!"

He yelled, and wanted to shout the two of them back, but the two black shadows seemed to be angry after hearing his words, and ran towards him at a faster speed!
"Li Shimin! Give me my head back, give me my head back!"

"Li Shimin! Give me back my heart, give me back my heart!"

The two turned into ferocious hungry ghosts and threw themselves on Li Shimin's body!
At the same time, the three people behind also caught up, crying:
"Li Shimin, give me back my life! Give me back my life!"

"Li Shimin! Pay me back..."

The five people completely blocked Li Shimin's way, howling crazily, Li Shimin's liver and gallbladder were torn apart, and his whole body trembled violently.

"no, do not want!"

"Don't! I... I!"

boom!
Just when he was about to be devoured by the evil spirit, he suddenly felt a pain on his face.

Then, the whole world seemed to be turned upside down!
The evil spirits disappeared, and that weird and terrifying world disappeared!
He opened his eyes suddenly, and took a big breath of fresh air!

In front of him was a familiar face.

Ok!

Not Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji, nor Dou Jiande, Liu Wuzhou.

It was Xu Fenglei.

Surrounding him is a quiet meditation room, where he rests...

"Uh, uh..."

Li Shimin covered his heart, and began to chant softly.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter with you?"

Xu Fenglei wondered,

"Just now your whole body trembled, as if you were about to go epileptic!"

"I was afraid that something would happen to you, so I slapped you... Are you okay?"

Li Shimin took several deep breaths in a row before he calmed down his restless heart.

"Huh—thanks to your slap."

He said with lingering fear,
"Otherwise, I'm going to be bitten to death by an evil spirit. I just had a nightmare... Damn, I've never had such a horrible dream before. I'm terrified to death!"

Li Er couldn't help but swear.

He had never had such a dream before!

"Ah, you also dreamed of evil spirits in the meditation room of the White Horse Temple?"

Xu Fenglei laughed,
"Theoretically speaking, this place of Buddhism is guarded by King Kong and Buddha, so no evil spirits dare to come here, right?"

Li Shimin shook his head.

"It's not an evil spirit, it's not an evil spirit...it's an old enemy."

He straightened up slightly, and said softly,
"In the final analysis, it was my evil heart that killed them..."

"Come... have a cigarette."

At times like this, there is nothing more calming than a cigarette.

Xu Fenglei quickly took one out of his bosom, and lighted it for Li Shimin.

After a puff of smoke was poured in, Li Shimin's face looked better just now... The look just now was really pale!
It's like pulling it out of the water.

"It's Jiancheng and Yuanji, they are here to take their lives."

Li Shimin murmured,

"They know that I'm going to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen, and they don't think I'm worthy of going!"

"Everyone is dying..."

Xu Fenglei was taken aback.

ah?Jiancheng, Yuanji?
Shouldn't this be transferred to the plot of Journey to the West?But Xuanzang has already traveled to the West!

"what did they say?"

Xu Fenglei asked repeatedly.

"Chengcheng said... that he wants me to give him back his head, and Yuan Ji said that he wants me to give him back his heart."

Li Shimin held a cigarette between his fingers and smiled wryly,
"There are also Liu Wuzhou, Dou Jiande and the others, who want me to return my life."

"I'm not afraid of them. If it's a big deal, I'll run away. But as soon as Jian Jiancheng and Yuan Ji surrounded me, my legs became weak at that moment, and I couldn't even run. I was surrounded by them."

"If it weren't for your slap, I'm afraid I would be wiped out by them!"

Xu Fenglei couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

"It seems that our slap has done a great job!"

he joked,

"Should I give it to you again? The left and right sides should be symmetrical!"

Li Shimin stared.

"Go away!" he spat.

With this commotion, the fear just now dissipated a lot.

"To be honest, I don't remember... Has the human head that was built back then returned?"

Li Shimin lowered his voice and said,

"And Yuanji's heart? Are they all buried? I haven't asked too much about burying them."

Xu Fenglei was at a loss.

"I don't know!" He spread his hands.

After everything is done, everyone is going to celebrate, who cares about it?

"What's the use of you!"

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and reprimanded him.

"Hey...you should go back, right?"

Xu Fenglei touched his chin and said uncertainly,

"I just think that the completed human head was carried by Jingde to scare the Supreme Emperor. The effect was achieved, but the human head was buried enough that it didn't take shape..."

"As for Yuanji's heart...here, a single arrow shattered his heart, where can he rest?"

"It happened many years ago... I don't remember exactly how I did it back then."

Li Shimin's face darkened.

"That's right! Everything happens for a reason, no matter it's really them who came to claim their lives, or it doesn't matter if it's the nightmare hidden deep in my heart."

He said in a low voice,

"Since I have remembered this matter, I must fix it, otherwise I will feel uneasy, and it will not be safe to go to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen."

"I have a decree to let people go back and open the coffin for an autopsy, how about it?"

Xu Fenglei nodded slightly.

"It is possible...but what if it is really incomplete?"

He looked at Li Shimin and couldn't help saying,

"That would be a horror story for His Majesty!"

If it is really incomplete, is there some possibility... Is it true that the few of them saw that Li Shimin went to Fengchan with complacency, and became more resentful, so that they came to ask for their lives?
Although it is only possible...but it is also quite scary.

Especially for Li Er...

Li Shimin helped his forehead, obviously he also had some headaches.

"If it's really incomplete, then I can only leave it to the good queen."

He gritted his teeth,

"How to play, do you know?"

Xu Fenglei pondered for a while, and said:

"If you follow the practice of Buddhism, then of course you have to save their wronged souls, let them go to rebirth honestly, and don't come to trouble you."

"Or follow the tougher way in the Taoist sect, open the altar and kill them! They dare to make trouble when they are dead, kill them, kill them all! Get them all out of their wits!"

"Or pinch a head and a heart out of mud for them... as a substitute, this is a folk method, the same as when Zhuge Liang used steamed buns instead of human heads for sacrifices, it is almost enough, and it can be used as a substitute. their heads and hearts."

Li Shimin was shocked.

"Don't, don't make them lose their souls..."

He hurriedly said,
"After all, they are my brothers. I have already killed them once, and I cannot kill them again."

"Let's follow the first way and the third way, let's do it together, let them live in peace, and don't make trouble with me anymore..."

To be honest, Li Shimin felt guilty and ashamed towards his two brothers.

This mentality became stronger and stronger as time went by.

Because people will always instinctively forget the bad things between the two parties, and think of the good things earlier.

He often thought of when he was a child, when his brothers played together, how friendly they were...

But the more he thought about it, the stronger his shame became, and the more he felt that killing his brother was nothing.

Perhaps... the nightmare was born of this.

"Okay, do whatever His Majesty tells you to do."

Xu Fenglei agreed,

"Whether it is useful or not, no one can say for sure, but let's hope for peace of mind."

Li Shimin nodded.

……

Inside the White Horse Temple, the Daxiong Palace.

"Master Kong Yuan, please forgive me for what I just said."

Li Shimin bowed to Kong Yuan with his palms folded, and said earnestly,
"Waterway Dafa, according to the highest standard, all of them have to go beyond the limit, and you can just ask the court for all expenses!"

Kong Yuan bowed to Li Shimin.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the old monk will definitely do it properly."

He said seriously,

"As for the cost, His Majesty has already donated 1 taels of silver, how dare the old monk ask for it with the cheek?"

"Amitabha."

Xu Fenglei smiled.

"This is a bit like an eminent monk." He said hesitantly.

"Well, prepare early and do it early."

Li Shimin instructed,

"Before I arrive at Mount Tai, all the Buddhist rituals must be done."

He wants to climb Mount Tai with ease, and don't pretend to be restless in his heart.

"According to the order."

Monk Kongyuan replied,

"The old monk gave His Majesty and Empress each a copy of the "Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra". You can read it in your spare time."

"What I said just now, 'There is no hindrance, there is no terror' is from the "Heart Sutra". If you can understand it, your majesty and empress will be at peace and will never be disturbed by foreign objects again."

The eldest grandson Wugou took the scripture and opened it gently.

Li Shimin smiled wryly.

"Although I am the Son of Heaven, I still have the troubles of ordinary people! How easy is it to be free?"

He raised his hand and said,

"I can only do as much as possible to make my heart more at ease."

"However, thank you Master, I will take a look when I get back, so I will take my leave."

After finishing speaking, Li Shimin turned around and left.

"Amitabha, send it to Your Majesty."

The monks of the White Horse Temple all leaned over and recited the Buddha's name, watching Li Shimin leave.

"Wisdom."

Kongyuan stroked his beard and said,
"Hurry up and prepare all the expenses for the Waterway Conference."

"This old monk will personally save His Majesty's two brothers."

……

outside the temple.

"Erfeng, I like this pure place of Buddhism."

Changsun Wugou followed Li Shimin and said softly,
"When the time comes back to Chang'an, I will also find a temple to clean up for a while, maybe my health will recover."

"Actually, when I was thinking wildly before, I would also think of Jiancheng, Yuanji and the others, and all kinds of imaginary people who were killed by you, who came to trouble me."

"Now that I can save them, I can feel more at ease... But in fact, it has to be said in the "Heart Sutra", that there will be no fear if there is no obstacle, I... I am a mediocre person."

Li Shimin's expression tightened.

It turned out that Guanyin's servant girl would also think of these things...

"Don't even think about it! The crimes I have committed have nothing to do with you..."
