[Rebirth] Anecdote of Li Tang

As the daughter of a concubine, Li Yinghui was able to marry into the Qinghe Fang family, which shows her status in Li Shimin's heart.Although Li Yinghui would still do enough superficial skills in front of people, Li Chengqian knew that this younger sister was definitely not a kind person.

Therefore, in the eyes of those who don't know, Princess Gaoyang is definitely the most outstanding one among Li Shimin's daughters.After Li Shimin ascended the throne, in order to stabilize the people's hearts, he relaxed the restrictions on the number of Buddhist and Taoist monks.Buddhism, which had a solid foundation, flourished rapidly in a short period of time.Princess Gaoyang naturally saw this, and began to run to Buddhist temples frequently, feeling a little obsessed with Buddhism.

Li Chengqian also thought so at the beginning, after all, Li Yinghui's identity is there, and there is a powerful mother-in-law like Fang, and the official position of the son-in-law Fang Yiai is not low, no one would have thought that she would make an affair with the monk nonsense.

Perhaps Li Yinghui took advantage of the people's psychology of taking it for granted, so she dared to have an affair with the monk unscrupulously, and even gave her incense pillow as a token.

In his previous life, Li Chengqian had met the monk named Bianji.From Li Chengqian's point of view, apart from not having that black hair, Bianji looks really good.With the delicate features and the indifferent demeanor cultivated by studying Buddhism all the year round, he really feels a bit like a banished immortal.

It's a pity that Bian Ji at that time had already been reduced to a prisoner, wearing a dirty and worn prison uniform, he really didn't have any grace to speak of.

Princess Gaoyang has since lost the favor of Li Shimin and has become the lingering laughing stock of the royal family.The Fang family was disturbed by her behavior, but Li Yinghui broke the pot and smashed it, and even when she died, she wanted to support her. It must be said that Fang Yizhi was rude to him, he was a shameless prodigal son, and he was serious on weekdays The appearance is just a mask, but the inside is actually an out-and-out hooligan.

Although after investigation, it was found that what the princess said was not true, but the rumors had already spread, affecting Fang Yizhi himself and even the entire Fang family.

In his previous life, Li Chengqian took a stand-by attitude towards what happened to the Fang family, and occasionally gloated about it.After all, facing Fang Yizhi's deadly enemy, Li Chengqian wished to see him deflated.The more chaotic the Fang family was, the more he could vent his anger.

But today is different, since Yixin has become the eldest son of the Fang family, he is already tied to the same boat as the Fang family.Princess Gaoyang's behavior in the past has also become a hidden worry in Li Chengqian's mind.He looked at Fang Yiai who didn't know it, and made up his mind to mess up Huang's marriage.

The matter between Li Yinghui and Fang Yizhi was not clarified until many years later in her previous life.That's why Fang Yiai, who knew the truth at that time, was so furious. This is a cuckold that has been worn for many years.Being reprimanded by the princess, rejected by the elder brother, and ridiculed by the children of the aristocratic family, these Fang Yiai still endured, but when he saw the gentle and handsome Bian Ji at the age of [-], the last line of defense in his heart collapsed.

It is said that family ugliness is not publicized, but Fang Yiai has lost his mind back then, wishing that Chang'an City would know the scandalous things that Princess Gao Yang did.But in the end, he found that he also got nothing, except for a few words of cheap sympathy, he is still the laughing stock in the eyes of everyone, a coward who can't even do anything to his own wife.

"There's no rush." ​​Li Chengqian said to himself silently.A few years later, the debate opportunity in its prime will meet Li Yinghui, who has an unsatisfactory married life.The loneliness of practice and the depression of being alone in the empty boudoir collide like dry wood and raging fire, and burn quickly.

What would have happened if they had met earlier?Li Chengqian was thinking silently in his mind.He remembered what Yixin said when he learned about the incident. Instead of ridiculing and laughing at the adulterers like others, he said rather lonelyly: "Perhaps in the hearts of these two people, there is something for each other." Let’s be sincere. It’s just that this kind of sincerity is not polite, and it doesn’t matter to others, or even to themselves.”

Li Chengqian was quite surprised when such a sentence came out of Xinxin's mouth.At that time, he couldn't understand the meaning of Xinxin's words very well.But this time he lived a new life, he was surprised by the viciousness of Xin Xin's vision.This is indeed the case. At the time of the debate, he was already a famous eminent monk in Chang'an, at least he had a certain reputation in the Buddhist circle, and he was definitely not alone.It was even more so for Li Yinghui, carrying the title of princess on her back, and her words and deeds were under supervision. At that time, she had not yet given birth to a son and a half for the Fang family.Both of them had passed the youthful youth dominated by passion and impulsiveness, but even so, they still couldn't help getting mingled together.If you say you don't have any sincerity, that's definitely not the case.

What if, let them meet when their hormones are at their peak?Princess Gaoyang is not married yet, and Bianji is not a high-ranking monk... Once this thought comes to mind, even Li Chengqian can't help complaining that he is really a beast. This move is tantamount to pushing his sister into a fire pit .

It's just to create an opportunity to meet, and the subsequent development is all up to them to make their own decisions.Li Chengqian comforted himself in this way, when he suddenly saw Yingxin walking into the hall with a solemn expression, raised his hand and closed the hall door.

Seeing Fang Yiai, Yingxin was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed: "Ai'er, why are you here? Come to visit His Highness?"

Seeing that Li Chengqian was silent for a long time, Fang Yiai didn't dare to disturb him.They had all passed the age when they could play around unscrupulously, and the day they realized the disparity in status, Fang Yiai put away her temper in front of Li Chengqian.

"Brother, you haven't been home for a long time." Fang Yiai reminded aloud.

Yixin was taken aback, and then reacted.Since Li Chengqian fell ill and agreed to enter the East Palace, he really regarded the East Palace as his home, stayed in the East Palace all day long, and never went back to the house. "Father asked me to tell you, and occasionally go home to have a look."

After finishing speaking, Fang Yiai disregarded Xinxin's dazed expression, and got up first to bid farewell to Li Chengqian.Looking at the back of his younger brother leaving, Yixin didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"He...he is..." Xin Xin had some thoughts in her heart, but she didn't know how to tell Li Chengqian.On the contrary, Li Chengqian couldn't bear to see him in such a difficult situation, so he said: "He came to the East Palace this time, and it must be the handwriting of the house minister. It is true that you have time to go home, and it is true that you came to test my condition. I just thought about it for a long time. He has been staring at me seriously for so long that he almost stared me out of a hole." Li Chengqian half-jokingly said.

Xin Xin couldn't be happy at all, he was still immersed in his thoughts, and murmured: "Father, what does this mean..."

Li Chengqian's voice didn't have any special emotion, it was so calm that he seemed to be stating an unimportant matter: "With the status and status of Fang Xiang, there is no need to rush to stand in line, but you have to plan for the future. Be optimistic about the strength of each family in advance, Isn't he always the best at choosing a tree to live in?"

Xinxin knew that Li Chengqian was right.Fang Xuanling was born as a counsellor. In troubled times, he knew the lord and voted. In governing the world, he also weighed left and right. This almost became an instinct for him to be invincible in the political arena of the early Tang Dynasty.

"If I'm not wrong, Fang Xuanling may be thinking about your brother right now." Li Chengqian said bluntly: "I'm afraid that during the days when you were sent to the East Palace, Prime Minister Fang often asked your brother to be in the Yue King's house." Walk around there. It’s just that the king of Yue has left the capital to follow his retinue, and it’s hard to see how the real estate minister is doing at the moment.”

Xin Xin's face turned blue, he had naturally thought of this, but he didn't want to think of Fang Xuanling as this kind of person who made money, and Li Chengqian's words just made him see this clearly.There are so many courtiers in the secular world who are upright, high-spirited and upright, who can be as conscientious as Fang Xuanling, which is already a rare pillar of talent.If everyone is really like Wei Zheng, the emperor himself should be the one who has a headache.

When Li Chengqian mentioned King Yue, Xinxin's face turned ugly again.Li Chengqian saw it clearly, and smiled immediately: "What's the matter?"

Only then did she remember her original intention of coming here, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty has returned to Beijing."

"This is a good thing." Li Chengqian patted his leg and motioned for Xinxin to sit over, but as expected, he received a supercilious gift from Xinxin, "Father must have gotten news now that my illness is improving. It's almost time to heal."

There was no joke on Xin Xin's face: "I don't know if Your Majesty has received any news, but there is a definite piece of news. Your Majesty has just ordered that King Yue move to live in Wude Palace."

As soon as these words came out, Li Chengqian fell silent.He played with the cup in his hand, smiled for a while and said: "You really can't underestimate my younger brother, he came really fast, and he is about to enter the house right now."

According to the rules of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, only the prince of the East Palace can live in Chang'an for a long time. With an identity like Li Tai, he should set off to the fief after he has a fief.But Li Tai was an exception. At first he was left behind because of his young age. For so many years, because the brothers got along fairly well, no one said anything.

This time is different, Li Tai is not young now, he has definitely reached the age where he can be independent, but instead of urging him to enfeoff, Li Shimin wants him to live in the Martial Virtue Hall adjacent to the East Palace.This may be just a way of pampering, but in the eyes of those courtiers, it has become some kind of signal-the Yue King Li Tai may replace the prince.

Obviously, it is precisely because of this that Xinxin has thought of this, which makes her face so ugly.Li Chengqian was probably the least surprised about this incident from beginning to end.It was not the first time that Li Tai entered the room so grandly.In his previous life, Li Shimin also had the idea of ​​letting Li Tai live in Wude Hall.

Li Chengqian knew very well that if Li Tai really tried his best to please people, there might not be many people who could not be won over by him, even if the current king of Yue was fat enough to be a ball.
