Faith is a personal matter, whether you believe it or not, it depends on the individual.

There are many people who believe in Buddhism and Taoism in the Tang Dynasty, even the monarchs and ministers of the court are very respectful of Buddhism, Li Shimin does more than ten prayers and dojos in the name of the royal family every year, and he is very respectful to the famous monks and Taoist priests, regardless of whether Li Shimin believes in Buddhism or not in his heart, but his posture is still very sincere, politically speaking, Buddhism is widely spread among the people, and the people have a strong foundation, and the emperor has to put on a pandering attitude to seek the recognition of the scholars and the people, not to mention, The founder of Taoism is still the legendary ancestor of the Li family, although this ancestor may not agree with it in his heart......

Faith is a good thing, no faith is not necessarily heinous, the Tang Dynasty is an enlightened dynasty, everyone can get relative freedom, but people without faith can not insult the faith of others, this is the bottom line, but also the most basic moral code of life.

The voice behind her came, and Wu Shi was shocked, and she immediately realized that she was in trouble, and the trouble was not small.

In this small Taoist temple, she doesn't have to watch out for anyone, she is not afraid of someone harming her, and she is not afraid of the impending existential crisis.

Wu, after all, is only a woman in her early twenties, with a city government and scheming, but she lacks self-discipline, so after a few days of leisurely and comfortable days, she unconsciously slacked off, so she forgot about it.

The voice behind her was unfamiliar, but the tone made Wu Shi change color in horror, she was a clever person, and there could be no one else who spoke in this tone in the Taoist temple except Princess Dongyang.

Trembling and turning around, Wu saw Dongyang's expressionless face at first glance, without anger or anger, and his eyes were indifferent. It's as if that sentence just stated a very real fact.

With a plop, Wu knelt down without hesitation, kowtowing fiercely towards Dongyang, and every time he kowtowed, his forehead slammed, which was very real.

The slave forgot for a moment. Your Highness spared the slave and maid this time......" After saying this, Wu's tears also fell, and his expression was full of deep guilt and self-blame, and he had a perfect attitude of confession.

Dongyang looked at her quietly, to the Wu family, she had long been famous, Li Su had mentioned it a few times, and her tone was not salty or light, but she seemed to be a little concerned about her. Every time he mentioned her, there was always a mysterious color in his eyes, which made Dongyang very puzzled.

The so-called concern is chaotic, Dongyang doesn't know what kind of feelings Li Su has for this Wu clan, saying that it is the love between men and women, but every time he mentions her, his expression and eyes are very clear and calm, and there is no sign of love between men and women at all. But for no reason, he was far away in Taiping Village and cared about a woman who had fallen into the court. This fact does not make any sense at all......

Dongyang tried several times, but Li Su always cleverly avoided this topic every time, or completely denied the existence of the relationship between men and women, so he ...... Dongyang was even more confused.

At this moment, the woman who had puzzled her for many days knelt in front of her, kowtowing again and again to confess her guilt. I see the color of mourning and begging, and the pretty face of the pear blossom with rain is full of remorse, such an expression, such a delicate and beautiful face, even if a great mistake has been made. I'm afraid any man will forgive her if he sees it, right?

Dongyang sighed secretly, no wonder with her father's experience and age, she was able to keep her by her side for several years, this woman didn't talk about her ability, just that pitiful face was enough to make all men soften, if she met Li Su in the future, would Li Su treat her......

A wave of jealousy and jealousy quietly surged into Dongyang's heart.

Dongyang is kind, gentle, loyal, and she has all the good qualities of a woman, but she, after all, is still a woman, and women will inevitably be jealous and jealous.

For a moment, Dongyang even had a trace of murderous intent towards the Wu family, she really wanted to get rid of this woman who might compete with her for favor in the future, and she was gone.

The killing intent was only for a moment, kindness finally defeated evil thoughts, when Dongyang came back to his senses, he couldn't help but feel guilty, secretly recited a few sins, and his mood suddenly became calm.

"Get up, it's your own business not to believe in the gods, it's not a crime...... Dongyang said lightly: "You can disbelieve or disrespect Lao Jun, but, don't insult him, because what you don't believe, others believe, if you insult him, you will insult others, and this 'others' also include me." ”

Wu stopped kowtowing, was stunned for a moment, and suddenly cried bitterly: "Your Highness, the slave and maid are really guilty, the slave and maid have just come out of the court, everyone in the Taoist temple treats the slave and maid well, the slave and maid are slack, and they are indulgent for a while, and the slave and maid are ...... I am willing to recite the sutra and repent in front of the statue of Lao Jun and atone for my disrespectful sin today. ”

Dongyang glanced at her lightly and said, "Whatever you want, this is a Taoist temple, you are a monk aunt, if you chant the scriptures, who will stop you?" ”

After speaking, Dongyang paused and said, "Since you are ordered to become a monk, do you have a path number?" ”

Wu hurriedly said, "I haven't obtained it." ”

Dongyang pondered for a moment, looked at her deeply, and said: "Whether you believe it or not, you are already a person in the Taoist sect after all, you will take this place as an expediency, as a destination, since the Tao is natural, in the final analysis, nature is also free, the Tao of heaven and earth, whether natural or casual, can not be separated from the word 'enlightenment', understand thoroughly, out of the house, believe in it or not, you can find a home, in the future your Taoist name will be called 'Wuhui'." ”

Wu's joy flashed, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "Poor Dao Wuhui, thank Your Highness for the name." ”

Dongyang nodded, ignored her, turned around and left.

It wasn't until the footsteps went away that Wu got up and quietly wiped his forehead, and found that he was already in a cold sweat, dripping through his shirt.

Xing'er on the side also got up at this time, walked to her side and said timidly: "Miss Wu......"

Wu Shi turned his head and said: "It's my fault today, Xing'er, you reminded me right, I shouldn't be so presumptuous, since I have become a monk, I am a monk, and in the future, mortal dust has nothing to do with me, I only serve Daojun." ”

Taking out the hairpin that he had just shown off from his arms, Wu's expression was not reluctant, and he resolutely handed it to Xing'er, saying: "Xing'er, you are not a monk, this hairpin will be given to you, after all, it is a good object, I will not need it in the future, from today on, I am a disciple of the Daojun, and there will be no disrespect in the future for all the gifts of service." ”

Xing'er hesitantly took the hairpin and looked at Wu as if she didn't know it.

Wu had already turned around, knelt down facing the statue of Lao Jun, performed a Taoist bow very solemnly, and muttered: "Daojun is above, disciple Wuhui offended the golden body today, the big crime is inescapable, the disciple is willing to chant in front of the golden body for forty-nine days, in order to atone for the sin of ten thousand deaths, and ask Daojun to forgive the disciple." ”

After muttering, the Wu clan began to chant with a reverent expression, but the moment he looked up and glanced at Daojun's golden body, his eyes were still as indifferent and cold as usual.

She still has no faith, still no respect, the only thing she believes in this life is herself, only herself.

She's smart, perhaps, too smart.

He was reciting the scriptures in his mouth, but in his heart he was repeatedly chewing on the conversation he had just had with Her Royal Highness.

Judging from Princess Dongyang's attitude towards her just now, the Wu clan can be sure of two things.

First, Princess Dongyang didn't have a good impression of her, and for a moment, she even sensed the hostility emanating from the princess.

Second, it can be inferred from this that taking her out of the court should be entirely the intention of the person behind the princess, the princess is just an executor, and the execution is reluctant, so that Her Royal Highness the princess is reluctant but has to do it, except for the legendary Li Xianhou, there is no second person in the world who can do it.

As for why that Li County Marquis did this, and what was the purpose of helping him, the Wu clan was not in a hurry at the moment.

She believes that she and the Marquis of Li County will meet one day, and the mystery that has been lingering for a long time will eventually be solved.

************************************************************

The holy decree was very fast, faster than expected, Li Su rode a fast horse and just rushed home, just in front of the eunuch who passed the decree and entered the door one after the other.

The Li family all knelt in the courtyard to receive the decree, and the eunuch turned around to leave after reading the decree, but Li Daozheng and Xu Mingzhu looked at Li Su with stunned expressions.

Li Suqiang said with a smile: "It's like eating imperial grain, I can't help myself to go or stay, fortunately, I don't have to go out of the customs this time, Jinyang is not far from our Chang'an, and my father and wife don't have to worry about me." ”

Xu Mingzhu's eyes were full of tears, she hung her head in silence for a moment, sniffed hard, and choked up: "The concubine will pack her husband's luggage......"

Li Daozheng shook his head and sighed: "Why do you say just go?" It's only been a long time since I came back from Xizhou, and I have to leave home again...... There are so many ministers and generals in the court, can you do it alone? ”

Li Su smiled bitterly.

The sentence that my father asked, in fact, was exactly what he wanted to ask, there were so many civil and military ministers in the Manchu Dynasty, and they only sent him to Jinyang for this hard trip, although Fang Xuanling gave him a reason that could not be publicized so he could only send young courtiers, but Li Su always felt that this reason was too far-fetched, just like he claimed that he had a brain disease, and he was suspected of talking nonsense and insulting his IQ.

Could it be ...... Is it really because Li Shimin saw that he was too lazy and idle when he was on an errand in Shangshu Province, and he really didn't like it, and his patience was to the extreme, so he kicked him out of Chang'an and asked him to do a few decent things, so as not to look like a white-raised rice worm who consumed the people's fat and ointment and made him, the emperor, feel unbalanced?

Thinking of this, Li Su sighed sadly and muttered: "Boredom brings disaster, you should really be diligent in the future, at least you must put on a diligent posture, otherwise the consequences will be worrying." ”
