Let's follow the king, little master

A carriage stopped at the entrance of the largest brothel in Kyoto. The man who got off the horse frowned and looked at the sign of the brothel, then looked around, and was ushered in with a sad face.

Although this brothel has been around for a long time, it has already been harvested by Yu Che, but everyone in the world knows that the owner has been transferred, but it has not been transferred to anyone.

In the huge room, Yu Che stood at the window and looked out, while Bai Yuzhen sat on a chair and knocked on the table with his hands.The two of them sat so quietly without saying a word, and then they heard the door in the passage rang, and Bai Yuzhen quickly stood up and opened the door.

The person who dismounted was none other than Yu Che's own uncle, Yu Xingzu, elder brother of Che's noble concubine Yu Xinglan.To say that this Yu Xingzu is not very capable, when he was a child, his family was in business, Yu Xinglan and Yu Xingzu were both relatively well-educated, but after Yu Xinglan became a concubine, his elder brother gave up his business and began to work as an official. When Zhima Xiaoguan became a bachelor, he all relied on the family business left behind by the rent and Yu Xinglan's status as a noble concubine.

It's just that after the bachelor Yu Xinglan passed away, he not only lost power but was also suppressed by the queen.But this Yu Xingzu is just a material for eating, drinking and having fun. If he doesn't go into business, he can live a comfortable life as an official, which can be regarded as saving him.

After Yu Xingzu walked in, Bai Yuzhen greeted him and left.Yu Che looked at his uncle who was about to say hello when Yu Xingzu knelt down and said:

"Yu Xingzu pays homage to His Highness the Third Prince."

Yu Che hurried forward to help Yu Xingzu up, and said:

"What is uncle doing? First, uncle can't worship me, and second, I am not the third prince, but just a commoner. Living is considered a great grace of the emperor."

Yu Xingzu who was lifted up grabbed Yu Che's hand and looked at Yu Che:

"At first I was skeptical, but seeing your face, even the emperor believes that you are the child of Concubine Che."

"My mother." Yu Che said, it was the first time he had a concept of the word "mother" in his heart. He was not like other people since he was a child, and he never called anyone father and mother.

"You look exactly like your mother," Yu Xingzu said.

The two started chatting like this. Yu Xingzu talked about Yu Xinglan's childhood, what happened in the palace, and apologized for not being able to protect his sister.Yu Che didn't say anything, just listened to Yu Xingzu's words and imagined what his mother would look like.

"You can meet the emperor with me tomorrow." Yu Xingzu said while holding Yu Che's hand.

"It's just that I'm afraid that the emperor won't recognize my son who came out halfway." Yu Che said dejectedly.

"What I said, the emperor will definitely recognize you when he sees you. The reason why I am alive and not killed by the queen and others is because of your mother. Now the emperor summons me from time to time, and they are all talking about your mother. It can be seen The emperor loves your mother."

With Yu Xingzu's persuasion, Yu Che finally decided to meet Emperor Ruiwu.Yu Che looked at Yu Xingzu and said:

"I'm afraid that if I see the emperor, the news will reach the queen's ears. At that time, even if the emperor recognizes me, the queen will stop me, so why don't I wait for the emperor in the palace after the court, and my uncle will bring the emperor here, how about it?"

"My nephew, this method is really quick, so let's do it this way." Yu Xingzu said.

Yu Xingzu swept away the melancholy when he came here, and his face was full of joy. Having more nephews would not be so happy, but there are so many precious nephews. Yu Xingzu is full of satisfaction and thinks that this will be the end of his official career. turning point.

The quiet and regular life of the temple seems to be unable to see the passage of time. The sun shines into the room through the open windows, and the people in the room are concentrating on reading books.

The temple was noisier than usual. There was a deceased person from a rich family, and people from the temple were invited to perform a funeral. Everyone was preparing for it.Li Mu read the book quietly, because Master Du Chi didn't go to participate, so Li Mu was also left in the temple.

Someone blocked the sunlight at the window, Li Mu looked out the window, and Zhang Xia was looking into the room.

"Master is sitting quietly." Li Mu said, stood up and walked outside the room.

"Master Du Chi has been meditating for half a day, why don't you go with us." Zhang Xia said, "At that time, there will be too many people to take care of us. We can go to the market to have a look."

"The master will take me to lecture when he sits in meditation. I can't go, so you go."

"Can't we come back earlier? Zeran also wants you to go together."

"It won't work this time, I'll tell the master next time." Li Mu said resolutely.

Zhang Xia left, Li Mu looked at the people preparing in the yard, and quietly looked out the window.

Li Mu wasn't envious of the person who went out, but since he separated from Yu Che, he came back to feel a little restless. Li Mu couldn't find the reason and could only spend more time studying.So I seldom play with Zhang Xia recently.

Li Mu remembered what Master Du Chi asked himself.On that day, Du Chi said to Li Mu who was reading a book across from him:

"What do you think about before going to bed every day?"

"One day's cultivation." Li Mu said, but this is what he should do.

"Monks, don't lie." Du Chi looked at Li Mu.

"Think about the past." Li Mu said.

"Is there anything you can't let go of?" Du Chi asked.

"There's nothing I can't let go of, it's just the restlessness in my heart for no reason."

"If you are not calm, ask yourself why your heart is, and whether there is a reason for it. Don't be afraid, just face yourself."

Thinking about what the master said, Li Mu thought that he just saw his parents and Yu Che, maybe it was the reason why he saw his mother so sad after meeting his parents, but what he thought about most was Yu Che, thinking of the happy time together in the past. day.

In fact, there is also a reason for Li Mu's low ability to perceive emotions.When Li Mu was born, there happened to be a Taoist fortune-teller traveling from the countryside. It was a coincidence that it started to rain after Li Mu was born, and the rain was heavy. The Taoist hid under the eaves of Li Mu’s house. Rest at home.

When the Taoist entered the door, he said to Father Li:

"Congratulations on your precious son."

"Master is really advanced, you can figure it all out, I really just had a son." Father Li couldn't stop the joy on his face and said.

"It's just." The Taoist looked at Father Li, "If you laugh now, you may not be able to laugh in the future."

When Father Li heard this, the smile disappeared immediately, and he looked at the Taoist priest and asked:

"Where did the master say this?"

"Although this child is benevolent and righteous, although he will become prosperous in the future, his fate cannot be controlled by himself. The secrets of heaven cannot be leaked, but I am advising my brother not to let him be contaminated by mundane affairs."

The words of the Taoist priest have always been imprinted in Li's father's mind, so Li's father rarely let Li Mu go out, and such things as the love between men and women are even more taboo against Li Mu. Several brothers in Li's family are literate, but Li's father does not. Let Li Mu go to school.Seeing Li Mu grow up day by day, becoming a monk is the best way Li's father came up with.

How can parents be so cruel to send their children away, even if they have nothing to eat and starve to death, they still want to protect their children. Li's father did this for Li Mu's good. No matter how much Li's mother misses her children, he still insists on it. Only he knows this But the secret must make him so stick to this practice.

It’s just that the things in the world can’t be avoided if you want to. The things you should face, even if they are temporarily stranded, you still have to face them.
