As soon as she checked the sleeping Li Shimin's pulse, Fang Yiai was quietly pulled out of Li Shimin's bedroom by Li Chengqian who was waiting at the side.
"How is your father's condition?" Li Chengqian looked back, his eyes anxious, and asked anxiously.
Watching Fang Yiai and Li Chengqian come out, Li Zhi and the ministers who were waiting outside the palace to greet them also gathered around them.
"The emperor's health has been weakened for a long time. This time he was exhausted from the Eastern Expedition and he didn't have a good rest when he came back. He also encountered the death of Princess Changle. He was so sad that he couldn't control it. I'm afraid..." Fang Yiai shook his head and said.
Although Fang Yiai did not finish her words clearly, everyone present knew in their hearts the meaning behind Fang Yiai's words.
It was not just Fang Yiai who made such a conclusion about Li Shimin's body. Several imperial physicians recognized as having the best medical skills in the imperial hospital had such expressions of helplessness when they examined Li Shimin's pulse.
It can be seen how much Li Shimin's body has suffered after all these years of hard work.
However, when they thought about the news that finally caused Li Shimin to vomit blood and fall ill, everyone present completely lost their favorable impression of the debate.
Bullshit karma!
If karma is really unsatisfactory, then among the various Buddha statues in Buddhism, the most respected one is still the Tathagata Buddha in this world, not the future Buddha?
It can be seen that what they really cultivate is still the present world, and they still live in the present, and the talk of the afterlife is just deceiving people.
If we really follow their teachings, as Fang Yiai said, there are so many afterlife after afterlife, wouldn't it mean that we can only look forward to the eternally unknown and out-of-reach afterlife for the rest of our lives?
So what is the meaning of living today?
Besides, who can know what the next life will be like after they die? How many people will remember their previous lives after they are born?
Therefore, after all calculations, we can only live a good life, live a life worthy of heaven and earth, live a life worthy of the people, and live a life worthy of our own conscience. This is enough.
The past life cannot be pursued, and the next life cannot be reached. Seizing the present and living a good and serious life is the true truth of life.
Therefore, after Li Shimin fell ill, Li Chengqian and the court officials not only did not let people relax and thoroughly investigate the temples that harbored filth and evil, but also asked the printing press to print a propaganda pamphlet in the form of the Dibao and spread it widely.
Publicize the ironclad evidence of crimes in various temples investigated and punished by the government.
It created a feeling among the people that the imperial court's purge of the temples was an action to restore justice and peace to the people. It could also be regarded as a disguised form of making decisions for the people and a concentrated action to redress the injustice.
All things are nothing more than the east wind overpowering the west wind, or the west wind overpowering the east wind.
Now that the imperial court's public opinion propaganda has been created, the instigation of those who are interested in it has been suppressed, which has changed the people's minds and made everyone in the court clear.
As for the Buddhists who started rumors and were accused of cursing the emperor, the Buddhists also lost the enthusiasm to fish him out before.
And he, like a person who could be forgotten, sat cross-legged inside the high wall day after day, chanting over and over again the scriptures that he had memorized by heart.
In mid-November, Li Shimin, who had been lying in bed for many days, finally woke up.
No one was happy about Li Shimin's awakening, including Empress Changsun, who had not yet recovered from her illness.
Returning to the light.
Li Shimin, who was so drowsy last night that he was about to die, suddenly woke up this morning and went to have a meal in good health as before. There is no other explanation other than the words "returning to the light".
After all the princesses and princes-in-law were recalled to the capital, Li Tai, who was far away in Weizhou, and Li Chengqian, who had already been convinced a month ago, after discussing with Empress Changsun, had people deliver news to him, asking him to return as soon as possible.
Beijing, hoping to see Li Shimin one last time...
Li Shimin himself knew his own situation well.
Li Shimin smiled and looked kindly at the many children surrounding him. He looked around and around, but did not find Li Tai. On one side, he held the hand of Empress Changsun, and on the other side, he held Li Chengqian's hand.
He asked disappointedly, "Where's Tai'er? Isn't she here?"
"Back to my father, I have sent a letter to my fourth brother earlier. We will arrive in Beijing this afternoon. The heavy snowfall on the road has caused some delays." Li Chengqian endured his grief and said with a forced smile.
(The following text will be updated in an hour, please forgive me!)
There, Jin Lin told Jin Qi Fang Jue Bao'er the so-called details of the incident that he had just learned from Fang Xuanling. Fang Xuanling and Fang Yiai, father and son, walked away in awkward silence.
They didn't stop until they reached Fang Yiai's outer study.
"Dad, drink some tea to moisten your throat." Fang Yiai poured a cup of tea, placed it respectfully on Fang Xuanling's hand, and said.
"How did the emperor punish you?" Fang Xuanling drank tea and then adjusted his mood and asked.
"The noise in front of the Taiji Hall affected the emperor's handling of government affairs. He was beaten with ten sticks and fined for three months. He went home to think about his mistakes." Fang Yiai briefly summarized the matter.
"Well, it would be better to hand over the palace's defense as soon as possible." Fang Xuanling thought for a while and said.
"My child thinks so too," Fang Yiai said.
"I heard in the past two days that the final reports from various inspections have all arrived in the capital, and the inspection envoys have also returned to the capital one after another. The household registration restructuring in various places has been basically completed, and the population and land have been thoroughly liquidated." Fang Yiai said.
, "I'm afraid that after everything is in place, the emperor will make big moves, dad..." Fang Yiai looked at Fang Xuanling with some worry. She was really worried that if the household department became busy again, Fang Xuanling's body would be damaged.
Can you eat it?
"In the second half of last year, Master Xuanzang returned to the capital from the southern Yunnan trade route with the help of merchants and traveling monks, bringing many Indian scriptures with him.
After the opening of the Sutra Translation Dojo, monks in various temples began to act more and more without rules," said Fang Xuanling.
"The temple property, income, and money that were secretly investigated in various places are actually twice as rich as the increasingly abundant national treasury!" Fang Xuanling's eyes were full of worries, and he frowned and said, "If we don't investigate,
Once the northern and southern Buddhist temples come together and try to create something, the people will definitely suffer, which will probably be even worse than the previous harm caused by the kings of Qi and Han. We cannot tolerate the emperor not taking action."
"Yes, the emperor is here. With his reputation for conquering the north and south, and his relationship with the old abbot of the Shaolin Temple, he can suppress it. I am afraid that a hundred years after the emperor, the new emperor will ascend the throne. If someone wants to provoke,
The war may not be possible again." Fang Yiai also frowned and said.
"If it hadn't been for the Eastern Expedition and Xuanzang's return to Beijing with a full load, the emperor would have deliberately cleaned up the major temples last year. After all, the lessons of Guanyun Temple were still ahead of him, and the court could not tolerate careless handling.
"Fang Xuanling said.
"Uh," Fang Yiai touched his chin and said belatedly, "Isn't it a bit unethical for the kid to think about it at this time?"
Fang Xuanling was annoyed by Fang Yiai and said, "If things really get out of hand and someone needs to take the blame, the emperor will naturally have to call you out. Now, I will just give you an early leave."
."
Fang Xuanling said, and Fang Yiai also knew that now he was allowed to take the blame, and his credit would be removed as much as possible, so that Li Chengqian could use it with confidence in the future.
He immediately smiled bitterly and stopped the topic without taking it seriously.
After chatting with Fang Xuanling for a while, someone brought Jingshu over and played with Fang Xuanling for a while. Fang Xuanling did not leave any food at Fang Yiai's residence, so she returned to Fang's residence and took Fang Jue away with her.
and Baoer….
Fang Yiai was at home with peace of mind, watching over his wife and children and thinking about his mistakes.
In just half a month, word spread in the capital. The officials and censors issued many memorials, all impeaching the capital and various temples for their illegal behavior, requesting the court to clean up the temple monks, crack down on the evil villains, and also
Things are clear.
Master Xuanzang, who was translating scriptures at Wulu Temple, was a true scholar. He was not afraid of the shadows slanting when he was upright. Naturally, he did not care about the actions of the court. Based on what he saw along the way, he felt that the court's move was necessary.
We cannot allow a group of fake monks to ruin the reputation of Buddhism.
Just because he didn't come forward to take care of this matter doesn't mean that other people in the Buddhist family don't care about it either.
Among them, Bianji, who had gained a high reputation in Buddhism due to the debate conference a few years ago, responded positively and tried to persuade the emperor to accumulate good deeds and not to attack the suffering Buddhists and have unintended thoughts of killing.
"Grandpa only found out after your father came back that the reason why he fought with King Wei was because King Wei insulted grandpa and he was angry." Fang Xuanling said.
Fang Yiai smiled strangely on the roof and rubbed her head. Fang Xuanling really believed the reasons she made up on her own.
After what he said at that time, Li Shimin didn't even see Li Tai in person, so he had Li Tai taken to Fang's house to apologize. The angry Li Tai later swallowed the details of the incident.
As a result, the only person left who truly understood the situation at that time was Li Tai.
Judging from Li Tai's temperament, since Li Shimin had confirmed the whole story, he was afraid that Li Shimin wouldn't believe him if he told him the real truth. He never mentioned the matter again, but vindictively told Fang Yi.
Love is not the same everywhere, it can be regarded as a complete enmity.
"My father is so unjust!" Jin Lin muttered softly.
"Yes, that's why I said that your father is better than me. At least he didn't wrong you by beating you." Fang Xuanling said, "Although the emperor and General Li also punished you in the beginning, my last love is your father.
I have the responsibility to educate you."
"If he didn't beat you up, he would certainly be accused of being a bad parent, but it would not have much impact on his future. But you are different." Fang Xuanling patiently enlightened and said, "There is no such thing.
Damn it, people just think that you are suppressing the subordinates and did not tell your father about this matter. You are suspected of deceiving the superiors and concealing the truth from the subordinates. Think about it, if you are a person in power, such a person is used to bullying.
Will you like to use it?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to (.) to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
