Chapter 281 Redo

Daming Palace, in front of Xuanwu Gate.

A team of Qianniuwei stood at the gate and stopped Qin Mubai, Princess Gaoyang and others.

"Your Highness, General Qin, please forgive the rude general." Qian Niu, the leader, had no expression on his face and said in a business tone, "The last general will come here by order to wait for the princess and the general here."

"It seems that Li Xun has already sent someone to report to His Majesty the Emperor." After Qin Mubai and Princess Gaoyang looked at each other, they stepped forward and said, "Say, what is your majesty's will?"

"Your Majesty ordered Princess Gaoyang and Qin Mubai to hold the coffin and go to Dajiao to see each other." Qianniuwei prepared to go back.

"I know." Qin Mubai nodded and returned to Princess Gaoyang. He looked at her worriedly, "Do you hear me, big horn view?"

"Uh-huh..." Princess Gaoyang reacted surprisingly calmly and nodded gently, "Then let's go!"

"See Your Majesty and Empress De later..."

"Mu Bai, don't worry." Princess Gaoyang interrupted him and took a deep breath, "Let's go!"

"Good." Qin Mubai nodded, and the face of Yin Defei couldn't help but appear in his heart.

At this point, Princess Gaoyang's heart knot has been untied. Li Shimin, you don't have to worry about him at all. The only thing that is a little reassuring is the Yinde Concubine in the Big Horn.

What will happen to this poor woman when she sees the body of her only son?

......

Qianniuwei led the way. Qin Mubai and others protected Li You's coffin, walked into the imperial city, and went to the big corner of the Harem of Daming Palace.

In today's palace, it is particularly deserted, and almost no one has been met along the way. Perhaps the emperor has already sent someone to make arrangements. Therefore, all the way there is such a deserted look.

Princess Gaoyang has been silent and her expression is a little solemn, but there has been a faint expression of perseverance in her eyes, as if she has made some major decisions, and seems to keep cheering herself up.

I have seen the big horn. There were several hundred-rider guards standing at the door, whom Qin Mubai had known.

When they arrived here, thousands of Niuwei retreated and walked away. In the view, a team of hundred riders came out. First, they saluted Princess Gaoyang and Qin Mubai, and then began to take action to carry the coffin into the view.

Qin Mubai privately summoned a familiar Baiqi and asked, "Your Majesty can watch."

"There it is." Baiqi replied in a low voice, then looked around warily and whispered, "General, be careful. Your Majesty is unhappy today, and his old man's roar comes from the room from time to time.

"A scolding Yin Defei?"

"The general is unknown... In a word, the general has to be careful."

"I see. Go ahead!"

At this moment, several monks came out of the Taoist temple. All the way, he walked out of the Taoist temple without squinting, and did not say hello to anyone.

"It's strange, where do monks come from in the Taoist temple? Moreover, the drivers of these big-headed monks seem to be not small. They don't seem to pay attention to Gao Yang and General Ben, and they don't come to bow when they meet. Qin Mubai whispered to himself.

Princess Gaoyang stood beside Qin Mubai and had been quietly looking at those hundred riders moving the coffins. At this time, she whispered, "It's the monks of the royal temple Famen Temple. These monks thought to be outsiders and Taoist monks. Seeing that His Majesty did not kneel down, he had been deeply favored by the saints.

"Famen Temple?" Qin Mubai whispered curiously and said, "But is it the famous 'Aowang Temple'?"

"Yes." Princess Gaoyang nodded and said, "Fameng Temple is located a hundred miles west of Chang'an. The original name is Ashoka Temple, and there are more than 5,000 monks in the temple. A few years ago, my grandfather, Emperor Wude, renamed it 'Fangmen Temple'. I have heard my father talk about this temple. It seems to be hundreds of years old and was built at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. There is a pagoda in the temple, in which there is a tribute to the reli of the Buddha. Hundreds of years ago, a man named King Ashoka unified Tianzhu and divided the relic of Shakyamuni Buddha into 84,000 parts and sent it to various Buddhist holy places to build pagodas for worship. It is said that the word 'tower' was created at that time. Before, I had never had such a word in the Central Plains.

"Gao Yang, I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable." Qin Mubai also intended to distract Princess Gaoyang and asked her not to be too nervous, so he smiled and said, "Famen Temple, I have been famous for a long time, but I have never seen it. If you are free another day, let's go and have a look together.

"Okay..." Princess Gaoyang nodded with a smile, but there was a sense of paleness and weakness in her smile.

At this time, Lingshu had been unloaded, and more than a dozen hundred riders raised their coffins and slowly entered the Taoist temple. In order to facilitate the entry of Lingshu, the gate of the Taoist temple was demolished. It seems that the emperor is indeed ready.

A hundred riders came forward and hugged their fists and said, "Your Highness, General Qin, Your Majesty, please."

"Well, lead the way." Qin Mubai took Princess Gaoyang's hand and patted her gently in the palm of her hand and smiled.

Princess Gaoyang also smiled. The two walked in shoulder to shoulder and followed the hundred riders to the Taoist temple.

The Taoist nuns in the view were gone, and she went through several corridors all the way, and only the emperor's close guards and soldiers were guarding. After a young age, Qin Mubai and Princess Gaoyang went to a small independent courtyard and stood in front of a door.

Baiqi led the two of them here, held a fist and exited Xu Yuan. Lingshu was also quickly carried.

Qin Mubai and Princess Gaoyang were waiting to see each other, and the door was pulled open from the inside. Li Shimin stood in front of them, glanced at them blankly, and said calmly, "Come in - carry the spiritual pivot in!"

"Yes."

Everyone agreed, and Qin Mubai and Princess Gaoyang walked back and forth into the room. The hundred cavalry guards whistled and carried the coffin in, and they all retreated quietly.

Within a hundred steps of the whole courtyard, there are no idle people.

This room is the Zen room where Yin Defei rests on weekdays. At this time, with her frost and white hair, she still knelt on the futon, bowed her head and silently looked at the bronze statue of Laozi Qingniu.

Li Shimin personally turned around and covered the door, cut his hands behind his back, and walked to the coffin.

He frowned, bit his teeth, and his cheeks bulged slightly. Staring at the coffin but not talking, the meaning in his eyes is very complicated.

The room is quiet, and the sound of candles burning can be clearly heard.

After a long time, Li Shimin cleared his throat and said, "Your son is back."

The Yin Defei, who knelt on the futon, trembled gently and stood up silently and turned around without saying a sound.

In an in an eye, Qin Mubai's heart was **... Yin Defei, she didn't see her in just a year, and she looked like ten years old?!

Princess Gaoyang was obviously more surprised and sad. She looked at Yin Defei with a blind eye, her eyes turned red, and her voice trembled and called out, "Mother..."

"Good boy..." Yin Defei smiled lightly and came forward to gently stroke Princess Gaoyang's bun. Then, she reached out and stroked the coffin, stroking the new lacquered coffin like Princess Gaoyang, and muttered, "Son, you're back..."

Everyone didn't say anything.

At present, it seems that what you say is so inappropriate.

Li Shimin has always maintained that look, silent, solemn, his eyes are sharp and complicated, and he doesn't know what he is thinking.

"Open the coffin and let me have a look at him." Yin Defei did not cry, and her expression and eyes were extremely calm, and she said faintly.

Qin Mubai turned his head and looked at Li Shimin and asked for his opinion.

"Don't look at me." Li Shimin said lightly.

Qin Mubai nodded and said to himself: If it hadn't been for the king's reservedness, Li Shimin would have lifted the coffin by himself. Hey... After all, blood is thicker than water. Why doesn't he want to see his unworthy son in the end?

So Qin Mubai came forward, untied the rope wrapped in the coffin, and slid the coffin open.

The body has already been embalmed, and there is no odor in the coffin. And he pretended to be well. At this moment, Li You seemed to be asleep, with a smile on his face, but his face was like white paper.

Li Shimin, Yin Defei and Princess Gaoyang all quietly looked at Li You's body and fell silent at the same time.

There is no unexpected loss of crying and losing control of emotions. At present, these three people are so tacitly quiet and surprisingly quiet.

Princess Gaoyang has been holding Yin Defei for fear that her mother will faint or something. At this time, Yin Defei gently put aside Princess Gaoyang's hand, put her hand into the coffin, and stroked Li You's face.

"You'er, You'er..." She whispered, as if Li You slept late in the morning when he was young, and she was calling him to get up.

Li Shimin took a deep breath and sighed heavily. He cut his hands on his back and frowned more tightly.

"Mother, you can cry out..." Princess Gaoyang looked at her mother like this and was already worried. Her voice trembled and whispered, "It will be better to cry."

"Mom, don't cry. Why did you cry?" On the contrary, Yin Defei smiled and kindly stroked Li You's face, with a few clear crow's feet on the corners of her eyes.

For a moment, Princess Gaoyang didn't know what to say, but she burst into tears.

At this time, Li Shimin said to himself, "I'm going to plated his body with gold chrome and place it in the holy tomb of the Ashoka Tower."

"Oh?" Qin Mubai couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"What, do you think it's inappropriate?" Li Shimin asked back.

"No. Weichen is just a little puzzled. Qin Mubai said truthfully.

At this time, Yin Defei smiled and said, "The Li family takes Laozi as its ancestor and respects Taoism. Your Majesty's son will be buried in the Ashoka Tower of Famen Temple. No wonder General Qin is puzzled.

The meaning of the words is to repay the inemorousness for Li You. According to royal custom, after the death of princes and princesses, they should be buried in the mausoleum of the late emperor, even if they were concubines. At present, the Empress Changsun has been buried in Zhaoling, which is the mausoleum of Li Shimin a hundred years later. According to common sense, Li You should be buried in Zhaoling. Even if he was buried in the mausoleum without the right before his death, he should be buried in the countryside with the salute of the king. Now, he is not allowed to "enter the earth for peace", and it is no wonder that the Yinde Concubine is so agri.

Li Shimin's reaction was very calm. He said, "I knew you would be unhappy. I did this with good intentions. Taoism advocates practice and Taoism in life, and Buddhism emphasizes the reincarnation and karma of the past. You'er's sins in this life have not been removed. I hope that he can purify the heart demon's bliss under the transgression of Buddhism, and be a calm and good person in the next life. What's wrong with this?"

Qin Mubai nodded without saying a word. He guessed in his heart that Li You's incident this time touched Li Shimin. Since his own Xuanwu ascended the throne, I'm afraid he has left a shadow in his heart. He hates and can be said to be afraid of his son, following his example to do such a thing. Day and night defense, such a thing happened after all. At present, he wants to put Li You's body in the Famen Temple without being buried. To put it nicely, it is to let him cross the Buddha's Dharma and live in bliss, but is there any deep meaning of "suspended corpse alert"?

He hopes that his other sons will take Li You as a precept.

"What a cruel father." Yin Defei shook her head with a smile on her face, but it was extremely bitter.

I don't know if Princess Gaoyang thought of this layer, but she burst into tears and didn't cry or say anything.

"Oh...whatever you say!" Li Shimin sighed again, shook his head and said, "At this point, everything is irreparable. I just hope that Li You will not make the same mistake again in his next life!"

"Oh! He is dead, and you don't forgive him. Yin Defei shook her head repeatedly and stared at Li You's face, with bottomless despair and sadness in her eyes. She muttered, "Youer, thank your good father! If there is an afterlife, don't be born in the emperor's family, which is the greatest blessing!"

Li Shimin glanced at Yin Defei with resentment, turned his head and said to Qin Mubai, "Mubai, close the coffin!"

"Yes." Qin Mubai arched his hand and was about to come forward. Yin Defei suddenly said, "Slow!"

"What are you going to do?" Li Shimin's voice was a little heavy and majestic.

"Nothing to do."

Yin Defei took out a pair of scissors that had already been prepared and scared Princess Gao Yang and Li Shimin to death: "Shut up!"

Yin Defei smiled faintly and cut off a bunch of her white hair and sprinkled it into the coffin.

"You'er, remember the taste of your mother. In the afterlife, I will still be my child."

"You! ..." Li Shimin stared at Yin Defei angrily and didn't know what to say.

"What, does this also offend Your Majesty's Longwei?" Yin Defei casually threw the scissors and hit the ground with a sudden jingle.

Then, she turned around, walked to the bronze statue very calmly, and knelt down as before.

"Mother..." Princess Gaoyang also seemed to feel something wrong. She hurried to Yin Defei and squatted down and asked in a low voice, "Do you really want to...be a monk?"

"What's the difference between having a home and having no home? What are the similarities and differences between becoming a monk and not becoming a monk? Yin Defei said lightly, "Cut off the troubles and cut off the fate of this life. Since Your Majesty said that Buddhism can practice the karma of the afterlife, I will become a monk. I want to use the rest of my life to continue the relationship between mother and son with Youer in the afterlife. Gao Yang, take care of yourself. Don't think I read it again.

"Mom, don't... I don't want you to be a monk! Mother, do you know that when a nun wants to shave her hair all over her head, it's ugly!" Princess Gaoyang whispered eagerly, "Father, come and persuade your mother! She is a dignified imperial concubine. If she really gets out of the house and becomes a nun, won't it be a royal face to spread out?

"Let her go!" Li Shimin has a little bit of the smell of breaking the cans.

Qin Mubai was silent and covered the coffin. But there are all kinds of feelings in my heart.

Li Shimin and Yin Defei are really a pair of enemies. When the son died, both of them were very sad, but it seemed that they would not let each other go. It seems that they all blame the sins of their son's life on the other party.

"Mu Bai, the funeral of the King of Qi is up to you." Li Shimin suddenly said, "I have issued an order to Master Huiye, the abbot of Famen Temple. In addition, I will also appoint officials from the Ministry of Household, Taichang Temple and Taimiao to assist you. If there is anything you don't understand, just discuss it with them.

"Yes, Weichen obeys the order." Qin Mubai bowed his hand to the promise.

Li Shimin nodded, and his expression was still solemn. He looked sideways at Princess Gaoyang, as if he had a resting expression. Finally, he couldn't help calling out, "Gaoyang."

Princess Gaoyang answered, wiped her tears, and walked to Li Shimin and saluted: "The emperor is here."

Li Shimin stretched out his hand, stroked her head with pity, and said, "Later, come to Penglai Hall to see my father."

"Yes..."

"I'll go first." After saying that, Li Shimin turned around and was ready to go out, but his footsteps stopped. He looked back at Li You's coffin, slightly raised his eyebrows a few times, and finally strode away.

Qin Mubai and Princess Gaoyang saw the emperor go far away. At this moment, they all felt that this ninety-five man, no matter how silent his expression was, it was difficult to hide the unspeakable sadness in their hearts.

On the contrary, Yin Defei, she should have cried and lost her voice, and even fainted was not surprising at all. On the contrary, she didn't even shed tears.

That sentence - "Mother doesn't cry. Why do you cry?" But the words are like needles, which can pierce people's hearts.

Maybe she also feels that Li You's death is not a relief to study. Perhaps, there is no greater sorrow than the death of her heart. Her tears have already dried up.

......

Soon after, several officials from the Zongzheng Temple, the Ministry of Household and the Tai Temple came together to ask Qin Mubai whether they could first move the coffin of the king of Qi to the Tai Temple with animals to sacrifice their ancestors, and carry out some simple royal funeral ceremonies first.

Qin Mubai was about to ask Yin Defei. She turned her back to Qin Mubai and said first, "Mubai, let them take it away!" It's just a pair of skins, and there's nothing to miss. Yourer's soul will accompany me.

"Yes..." Qin Mubai felt astringent in his heart and didn't know what to say. So he greeted those people in, carefully carried out Li You's coffin, loaded the carriages and transported them to the Tai Temple.

"You all go!" Yin Defei said so.

"Mother... Let me accompany you, okay?" Princess Gaoyang pleaded worriedly.

"It's not good." Yin Defei shook her head gently, but said firmly, "Let me stay alone with your brother for a while!" You go to see your father, Mu Bai, do you have a lot of things to do? Go ahead, don't worry about me."

Seeing that she was so resolute, Princess Gaoyang and Qin Mubai couldn't insist, so they had to resign and leave.

"Mu Bai, I'm so worried about my mother. Do you think she will... look for a short time?" After going out, Princess Gaoyang said worriedly.

"No." Qin Mubai replied without thinking.

"Is that so? Why are you so sure?" Princess Gaoyang was a little surprised.

"I don't know either." Qin Mubai frowned, looked up at the tall and magnificent palace, sighed and said, "It's just... feeling."

"Feeling..." Princess Gaoyang muttered and shook her head blankly, "I'm still worried. Why don't we tell those Taoist aunts to pay more attention to her and send some sergeants to strictly protect her?

"Okay!"

Later, the two left Dajiaoguan. Princess Gaoyang went to Penglai Hall to meet Li Shimin, and Qin Mubai went to the Tai Temple.

Some big monks are doing some water and land Taoist fields, and the Sanskrit sounds are fragrant. Li You's body was carried out, and he took a bath and changed his clothes to prepare for the chrome-plated body. Qin Mubai specially told him to stuff the white hair of Yin Defei into Li You's mouth with a huge night pearl.

If there is really an afterlife, the guidance of Ye Zhuzhu, and the letter of white hair, I think Li You should be able to find her mother in this life and continue the fate of mother and son.

At this moment, Qin Mubai hopes that Li You can travel to another world like himself. Like myself, I can meet a mother who looks the same as Yin Defei. Or better yet, he traveled to a few years ago and became himself.

There, there is his beloved mother and sister.

He can... start all over again!
