Traveling through the Gaowu Tang Dynasty, Li Kuan and Li Shimin became the second sons of the Prince

When His Highness the King of Chu left Qinling with his retainers, he soon found that Dou Shilun was the only one left beside him. The other retainers were either walking far ahead to open the way, or hanging far behind to suppress the formation, and they were so It was obviously Dou Shilun's permission to do it.

"Uncle Dou? What's wrong?" Seeing this situation, His Highness King Chu was a little curious: "Is there anything else?"

"One thing." Dou Shilun nodded after hearing this: "Your Majesty is leading a large group of people at the foot of the mountain. I estimate that those monks are still alive."

"There is always a calamity." His Royal Highness King Chu did not feel that he had any obligation to intervene in this matter: "It is this group of people who provoked me first, so the foolish king will not cause trouble to me for this."

"Your Highness, that's not what I mean..." After listening to Li Kuan's words, Dou Shilun's expression became a little hesitant: "If Your Majesty insists on punishing this group of monks later... can you... can you let go of the past for the time being? resentment?"

"Huh?!" Listening to Uncle Dou's unexpected words, His Royal Highness King Chu stopped unconsciously. Then he turned his head in surprise, looked at Dou Shilun and said: "Uncle Dou...you are a little outrageous. …”

"Your Highness..." Dou Shilun knew that it would be difficult to convince the head of his family, but he still couldn't bear the old lady's hard work to go to waste: "The old lady actually doesn't believe much in the theory of ghosts and gods, but now all the famous temples in the world Taoist temples, but they all enshrine the blessing tablets of you and the old lady... Do you know why? ——Old Madam Gein, she will try all means for your safety, even if the hope is slim, but she will not Let go of the slightest possibility and do your best not to change your original intention! Your Highness... Let's get back to the business of today... I believe that whether it is Taoism or Buddhism, they will give you a proper explanation in the future, so we take it seriously. There is no need to push forward..." (Note 1)

"..." Dou Shilun spoke sincerely, but His Highness King Chu was already stunned.

To be honest, he didn't care whether he had any prayer tablets, but...he couldn't care less about the loving heart of the imperial grandmother.

"Your Highness, I know that you are not used to Taoism and Buddhism, but the old lady made an agreement with them at the beginning. Before you get crowned, your prayer tablet cannot be removed." After Dou Shilun said this, Li Kuan's eyes widened. A little red, he pondered for a moment, and then said: "The old lady asked a Taoist master to do the math for you. You should have died young. It was the old lady's sincere wish for you. Only then will God be willing to become an immortal." He caressed his head and raised his hand to let you go.

But... until you reach the crown, you need to be protected by the aura of Buddhism and Taoism. But after you reach the crown, you will be truly blessed by heaven. You can enjoy all the glory and splendor in this world, and have continuous blessings and fortunes for several lifetimes. Be useful, and even benefit those around you..." (Note 2)

boom!

At this moment, it was difficult for Li Kuan to describe his mood.

The fate of dying young...the fate of dying young...

No wonder... no wonder...

Grandma... how much she has paid for my naughty grandson... I am afraid that no one except her herself knows...

Many years after his grandmother passed away, the young King of Chu gradually began to truly understand the extent of his grandmother's love for him...

"Uncle Dou... I miss my grandmother..." The sadness was so great that Li Kuan originally thought he would cry, but now he just kept a straight face and was thinking about how to get to his grandmother as quickly as possible. In front of the grave, he didn't want to do anything. He just knelt quietly in front of his grandmother's tombstone, staying with her, just staying with her...

"Alas..." Dou Shilun only sighed lightly when he heard this.

After a long time, Li Kuan suddenly said in a hoarse voice: "Uncle Dou... do you think my king is so... domineering now... will my grandmother not like it?"

"It's nothing." Dou Shilun shook his head gently after hearing this: "Your Highness, your name was given by the old lady. Do you know how to interpret the word 'Kuan' in your name?"

"..." His Royal Highness King Chu looked at Uncle Dou with gentle eyes. This was the first time he hated himself for being uneducated: "Well... I don't know..."

"Your Highness," Dou Shilun looked at the young man who was as tall and tall as a green pine in front of him. His expression became very solemn when he spoke: "Youdao means 'wide', broad and big. This word also means neither harsh nor demanding. They have a relaxed attitude towards life and always have plenty of money on hand...

So Your Highness, don’t you understand? The old lady has never had any expectations for you that were restricted by secular dogma. She only has love and blessings for you. The old lady gave part of the Dou family property to those branches, so that you can inherit the remaining half of the Dou family. Family property, do you think this process is easy? Don't we need thunderous measures to suppress those opposing voices? !

But even though this process was bloody... the old lady still made this difficult decision, but the reason why she did it was because she hoped that you could use it to achieve great things in the future. She just thought... In this way, her young and sick grandson might be able to inherit the legacy of the Dou family and live a life of peace and prosperity without illness or disaster, that's all! "

At dusk, His Majesty Li Er, who was guarding outside the Qinling Mountains, refused Qu Changsun's request for him to return to the palace several times and ordered two groups of bald and unlucky men to guard the entrance to the Qinling Mountains.

"Chang He!" His Majesty Li Er looked at the setting sun in the distant mountains and gradually lost his patience: "Go and send more people into the mountains to search!"

"Your Majesty..." After hearing this, Chang He felt his head was as big as a bucket, and his tone was extremely embarrassing: "Three waves of manpower have been scattered... If we send more men, the defense force will not be enough... Please be aware of your safety. ...But it’s the most important thing!”

"Who do I need to defend?!" His Majesty Li Er felt like he was twenty-four years old again after the Battle of Jinshan: "Back then, when a hundred thousand troops rushed into the battle at Hulao Pass, I didn't even take it seriously. Now, Looking at the world, who else can make me think about defense! Stop talking nonsense! Let people go into the mountain to search!"

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, look at that!" - Just when Chang He shook his head and sighed and was about to carry out His Majesty's order, Qu Changsun suddenly pointed at the group of figures emerging from the mountain col in the distance and said: "His Royal Highness King Chu and the others are back!"

"You're back, right?!" His Majesty Li Er glanced in the direction of Qu Changsun's finger, and then he said in a sinister tone: "That's good... I can teach this bastard a lesson..."
