Chapter 719: Wu Meiniang became a nun
As for the nuns in the royal nunnery, how can they love money, none of the Ouyang brothers can figure it out, but they heard that this is a habit, so everyone doesn't ask about it.
Seeing that Wu Meiniang was helped into the mountain gate, Ouyang Li said: "This matter is very important, I have to investigate it in person, you wait here, I will go back when I go." With that, he tightened his belt, bypassed the mountain gate, jumped through the temple wall, and lurked on the roof to observe the development of events inside.
Inside the main hall, the lights are bright, and almost the entire temple nuns are here. In fact, most of the nuns in the Ganye Temple are not good people, but at this time, it is just in time for the evening class, so many people are in the hall.
The nuns helped Wu Meiniang into the main hall and let her sit on the futon, and some nuns brought her hot water and a quilt for her. The nuns all gathered around Wu Meiniang, looking at her, but no one spoke.
The host Lao Ni frowned, first looked at the gold bars that were picked up, then looked at Wu Meiniang, and recited Amitabha, and then asked: "This female benefactor, who are you, and who are the people who sent you just now, listening to their accents, they are not like the people of my Central Plains." ”
Wu Meiniang took a sip of hot water, stabilized her mind, and then began to speak. What she said was all thought out on the road, and a few sentences were ordered by Wang Ping'an, but most of them were thought out by herself.
The story is very simple, she is the daughter of a wealthy merchant in the Central Plains, and when she was trading with her father, she was robbed by a small Turkic tribe and became a princess for a little Khan. But she was born hard, and she actually killed Xiao Khan, and the sorcerer in the tribe used the turtle shell to calculate a hexagram, saying that he could not kill her, but must become a nun and let other nuns starve her to death, and because she is from the Central Plains, she has to let the nuns in the largest nunnery in the Central Plains starve her, so as to eliminate the disaster she brought to this tribe, and will not kill Xiao Khan's successor.
As for which Turkic tribe it is, Wu Meiniang can't say clearly, only that she has been locked up in a tent all day long, and she doesn't know anyone, so she can't explain it.
When the nuns heard this bizarre story, unexpectedly, at least to the surprise of Ouyang Li, who was eavesdropping on the roof, more than half of the nuns did not doubt the authenticity of this story, but sympathized with it, and even some nuns even showed some kind of expression on their faces, as if they were imagining themselves as heroines!
A young lady from the Central Plains was plundered by the rough and heroic Turkic Khan and became a princess, and the Khan was obedient to her.
And the evil wizard has been secretly in love with Miss Jiaojiao, and wants to take advantage of the death of King Khan to occupy Miss Jiaojiao, but Miss Jiaojiao would rather die. So the evil wizard came up with a vicious way to torture Miss Jiaojiao to death, but was stopped by a group of ministers of the Khan King, because those ministers also had a crush on Miss Jiaojiao, and they stopped the wizard's vicious plan and sent Miss Jiaojiao back to the Central Plains, but fortunately she was saved by a group of nuns......
How nice it would be if such a twisty and bizarre story happened to me...... Although the ending is a little worse, at most it is to be a nun, and now everyone is not in front of a nun, what's the big deal? In any case, the Khan once loved me, the Manchu civil and military loved me, and the evil sorcerers also loved me, and that's enough!
It was very incomprehensible to Ouyang Li, these nuns really didn't know what they were thinking, and they actually sympathized with Wu Meiniang together, and the host old nun actually had tears in her eyes, and said: "I see, presumably these gold bars were given to you by those Turkic courtiers who are loyal to you, are you afraid that we will really starve you to death?" ”
Wu Meiniang was stunned for a moment, and thought: "What Turkic courtier who is loyal to me, I haven't said such a thing, where did she think of it?" She nodded, "Exactly." However, the little woman was already homeless, and it was useless to ask for these things outside her body, so she wanted to give these gold bars to the temple. The little woman has nothing else to ask for, but to ask the host to be too merciful, so she will accept the little girl, the little woman is willing to lose her hair as a nun, and accompany the green light for a long time! ”
The host of the old nun chanted the Buddha's name, recited Amitabha Buddha several times, and said: "Good and good, the female benefactor has a poor background, she went to the Turks from the Central Plains, and returned to the Central Plains from the Turks, and came to my Ganye Temple. ”
The nuns said in unison: "Amitabha, my Buddha is merciful, good, good!" ”
Ouyang Li on the room was dumbfounded, almost fell from the roof, in his opinion, it should be not easy to accept Wu Meiniang, even if it is like the master said, presiding over the old nun loves money, then you have to pretend to "investigate" it, it will take two or three days, after Wu Meiniang's repeated pleas, she is willing to accept her as a disciple. But it didn't come to pass, a story was told, and it was accepted!
Ouyang Li thought to himself: "If I can't get along in the future and have no place to eat, why don't I go to the monk's temple and tell the host inside that I was robbed by a Turkic female khan and became the husband of the Ministry of Pressure, and the result was ...... wife."
Peeked for a while, and he didn't leave until the nuns arranged Wu Meiniang into the meditation room. Gathered the brothers, he told what had just happened, the brothers were all surprised, and they all felt that the heart of a woman was really difficult to figure out, and the heart of a nun could not be described by a needle under the sea, and she couldn't even ponder, let alone be difficult!
Ouyang Li left two brothers to stay here and observe the situation at any time, while he took the rest of the people and found an inn nearby to settle down. They had to wait for Wu Meiniang to officially become a monk, and they had to settle Shi Aiguo's place before they could return to Gyeongju.
Early the next morning, Ouyang Li went to the East Palace and asked to see Shi Aiguo, Shi Aiguo personally met him, and as soon as the two met, they beat their chests together, saying how the woman was killed, how to do it, and perform with each other, trying to prove that this matter has nothing to do with him.
After the proof, Shi Aiguo said that the prince Li Zhi was already sick because of sadness, and was lying on the bed, and sent Ouyang Li to let him go back early. Ouyang Li naturally agreed, left the East Palace, and went to Ganye Temple again.
The affairs of Ganye Temple are not too smooth, because the host of the old nun to accept the disciples, is to choose an auspicious day, has been waiting for five days, only to wait for the auspicious day of the zodiac, accepted Wu Meiniang as a disciple, take the law name for empty.
After the ceremony, Ouyang Li sneaked into the temple, met with Wu Meiniang, and said everything that should be said, and then left the capital and returned to Gyeongju.
Gyeongju.
These days, Wang Ping'an has never gone to Li Ke again, and now Li Ke is in an "extraordinary period", he doesn't dare to provoke, Wu Meiniang's matter still doesn't know how to solve it, how dare he go to Li Ke's affairs again, is he afraid that he won't die of exhaustion?
Wang Ping'an didn't go to look for Li Ke, but Li Ke wanted to find Wang Ping'an, because there was news from Goguryeo's side that a team of Goguryeo robbers broke into the border of Yingzhou, robbed and burned indiscriminately, and fled before the arrival of the Tang army.
The reason why it was a Goguryeo bandit, not an army, was because as soon as an army crossed the border, a war would break out, so Li Ke would not have the opportunity to go to Yingzhou and would not be able to continue tossing anywhere.
This news has been reported to Chang'an, waiting for the imperial court to make a decision, and because Li Ke asked Wang Ping'an to write the letter in advance, it has already been sent to the eldest grandson Wuji, so it is estimated that the matter of changing the seal will be finalized in half a month, and within a month, Li Ke will set off.
Li Ke was anxious to meet Wang Ping'an and get some news from him, but every time he sent someone, he couldn't find Wang Ping'an. Wang Ping'an hid in various counties, and every time he walked one step earlier than the people sent by Li Ke, he felt as if someone had reported to him.
Li Ke also knew that Wang Ping'an was hiding from him, but he couldn't go to find it in person, so he would inevitably be too anxious, so he had no choice but to wait.
At the same time, Chang'an.
The eldest grandson Wuji sat in Shangshu Province, with a document sent by Yingzhou on the table, which was not an urgent matter, only that a small group of robbers from Goguryeo had robbed the local people, and had been exterminated by the official army. This kind of thing can be regarded as a suppression of bandits, a trivial matter, and it does not need to be reported to Shangshu Province, but because it is a Goguryeo bandit, this kind of robber is exterminated, and the credit is doubled, so it is reported to Beijing.
Putting the paperwork into his sleeve, the eldest grandson Wuji thought to himself: "It's time for me to make a move, last time in front of the emperor, I praised Li Ke, saying that he was diligent, and began to study the national conditions of Goguryeo again, wanting to know oneself and know the other, not to be defeated in a hundred battles, to share worries for the imperial court, and to destroy Goguryeo, a country of tigers and wolves, the emperor also praised him." This time, it's time to send him around Yingzhou. It's a little like that, playing with the old man, the old man is still afraid that you won't make it! ”
The eldest grandson Wuji entered the palace and asked to see the emperor Li Shimin. Li Shimin's condition has improved during this time, and he is no longer very sick, and he heard Shi Zhongchen say that the eldest grandson Wuji is here, so he immediately summoned him.
The eldest grandson Wuji entered the Ganlu Palace, presented the document to Li Shimin, and told him about Yingzhou. After Li Shimin read the documents, he was furious, what he hated most in his life was the Goguryeo people, but he couldn't destroy them, it would be good if he didn't go to conquer Goguryeo, the robbers of Goguryeo dared to wander into the Tang Dynasty to commit crimes, this is worth it, it must be punished, and counterattack the past!
Li Shimin slapped the document on the table and said, "Goguryeo, the state of dung, it is really unbearable to repeatedly offend my Heavenly Empire. I am determined to go east, what do you think? ”
The eldest grandson Wuji has never been in favor of Li Shimin's personal conquest, and he did not approve of it when his health was okay before, not to mention that now that the emperor is sick, and he is only maintaining, he is even more disapproving of pro-conscription.
He shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the Eastern Crusade is a major event, and you can't make a hasty decision. And even if you want to go east, you can't go east now, otherwise what will the people of my Tang Dynasty think, and what will the vassals of Fanbang think? ”
Li Shimin said angrily: "They can think whatever they like, the Son of Heaven acts, do they still want the people and vassals to agree!" He slapped the table angrily and slammed it.
However, being angry is angry, but Li Shimin understands the meaning of the eldest grandson Wuji's words, even if he wants to ask for Goguryeo, he can't go to ask for it now. Otherwise, he will really be laughed at by others, and maybe he will have to be recorded in the history books, Li Shimin is most afraid of scribbling about him in the history books.
A group of robbers from Goguryeo went to the territory of the Tang Dynasty to stir up peace, and then even attracted the emperor of the Tang Dynasty to conquer in person...... His Majesty the Emperor is too worthless, a few little robbers can support him and let him go all the way to Liaodong, which is too embarrassing!
The eldest grandson Wuji was silent, waiting for Li Shimin to lose his temper, and when his anger was a little less, he said: "Your Majesty, even if you want to conquer Goguryeo, even if you want to fight in person, it is not something that can be done this year, and the expedition must be prepared for at least a year, the transportation of grain and grass, and the assembly of the army, these things cannot be done in a few months!" ”
Li Shimin gasped, and finally calmed down, and said: "I also know this, but the Goguryeo people are too hateful, I really can't wait to punish them next year, I can't wait to go now." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji immediately nodded and said, "Indeed, the little Goguryeo has repeatedly violated Tianwei, and it must be punished." However, the old minister thought that if we made a big move, it was unnecessary, but it seemed that we were bullying them, for fear that it would arouse the suspicion of other subject countries, thinking that my Tang Dynasty treated Goguryeo like this, will it treat them like that in the future, this must be guarded against. ”
Li Shimin leaned back in a dejected manner and said, "You are right, this is indeed the case, so do you have a way to deal with it?" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji pretended to think about it, and said: "Why don't we use a blunt knife to cut the flesh, cut it slowly, and cut Goguryeo painfully, and the strength will be greatly damaged, which will take almost a year, and at that time, all the matters of our Eastern Crusade will be ready, and we can destroy this dynasty in one fell swoop!" ”
Li Shimin sighed, straightened his waist again, and said, "Wuji, you mean cutting meat with a blunt knife, but sending someone to Goguryeo to harass you?" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji nodded and said, "Exactly, that's what the old minister meant." Those Goguryeo robbers may have been sent by the small court of Goguryeo, and why can't we send people over in the same way, they sent ten, we sent a hundred, and see who has the most people! ”
Li Shimin laughed twice and said, "Okay, this is a good idea." At this time, spring ploughing is approaching, if we send a large number of robbers over, we can make the Goguryeo people unable to sow seeds, they will not be able to do it this year, and we will fight it next year, we can get twice the result with half the effort! ”
The eldest grandson Wuji smiled and said, "Yes, that's what the old minister thinks." However, this matter is easy to say, but it is difficult to do, you have to send someone who is familiar with Goguryeo, but there seems to be no one who is too familiar with Goguryeo in the court, everyone looks down on Goguryeo and disdains to know about this country of dung! ”
Li Shimin hummed, thought for a while, and said, "Last time, Wuji said that Ke'er was studying the customs and customs of Goguryeo, did you say it was appropriate to send him?" ”
