Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 718 Wu Meiniang Became a Nun

As for how the nuns in the royal nunnery love money, none of the Ouyang brothers could figure it out, but they heard that this was a habit, so everyone stopped asking.

Seeing Wu Meiniang being helped into the mountain gate, Ouyang Li said: "This matter is very important, I have to investigate it myself, you wait here, I will go back." Then, he tightened his belt, bypassed the mountain gate, and walked away The temple wall jumped in and lurked on the roof to observe the development of the situation inside.

Inside the main hall, the lights were bright, and almost all the nuns in the temple were here.In fact, most of the nuns in Ganye Temple are not good people, but at this time, it is just in time for the evening class, so many of them are in the temple.

The nuns helped Wu Meiniang into the main hall and let her sit on the futon. Some nuns brought her hot water and brought her a quilt.The nuns all gathered around Wu Meiniang, looking at her, but no one spoke.

The presiding nun frowned, first looked at the gold bars that had been picked up, then at Wu Meiniang, and after reciting Amitabha, she asked, "This benefactor, who are you? People, who are they, their accents don't look like the people of the Central Plains."

Wu Meiniang took a sip of hot water, calmed down, and then spoke.What she said was all thought up on the road, and there were a few words that Wang Pingan dialed, but most of them were thought up by herself.

The story is very simple. She is the daughter of a wealthy businessman in the Central Plains. When she was doing business with her father, she was snatched away by a small Turkic tribe and became a princess for a little Khan.But she was born with a hard life, and she killed Xiaohan. The wizard in the tribe used the tortoise shell to make a fortune, saying that she could not be killed, but had to become a nun and let other nuns starve her to death. Since she is from the Central Plains, the nuns in the largest nunnery in the Central Plains had to starve her to death, so as to eliminate the disaster she brought to the tribe and stop Xiaohan's successor from being killed.

As for which Turkic tribe it was, Wu Meiniang couldn't tell clearly, she only said that she was locked in a tent all day long and didn't know anyone, so she couldn't explain clearly.

When the nuns heard this bizarre story, unexpectedly, at least beyond the expectation of Ouyang Li who was listening on the roof, more than half of the nuns did not doubt the veracity of the story, but sympathized with it, and even felt a little bit embarrassed. There was even a certain expression on his face, as if he was imagining himself as a heroine!
A lady Jiaojiao from the Central Plains was plundered by the bold and heroic Turkic Khan and became a princess, and the Khan was obedient to her. Just when Miss Jiaojiao began to have a good impression of the young Khan, disaster struck. Unfortunately, the young and handsome King Khan was unfortunately killed during the expedition.

And the evil wizard has been secretly in love with Miss Jiaojiao, and wants to occupy Miss Jiaojiao after King Khan's death, but Miss Jiaojiao would rather die than follow.So the evil wizard turned from love to hatred, and came up with a vicious method to torture Miss Jiaojiao to death, but was stopped by a group of ministers who were loyal to King Khan, because those ministers also had a crush on Miss Jiaojiao , they stopped the wizard's vicious plan and sent Miss Jiaojiao back to the Central Plains, but fortunately she was rescued by a group of nuns...

If such a twisted and bizarre story happened to me, how wonderful it would be... Although the ending is a little bit close, but at most it is just becoming a nun. Isn’t everyone being a nun now? What’s the big deal? of.Anyway, the King Khan once loved me, the civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty loved me, and the evil wizard loved me, and that's enough!

To Ouyang Li's incomprehension, these nuns really didn't know what they were thinking, and they sympathized with Wu Meiniang together, and the presiding nun actually had tears in his eyes, and said: "I see, these gold bars must be those Turkic people who are loyal to you." The servant gave it to you, afraid that we will really starve you to death?"

Wu Meiniang was taken aback, and thought: "I never said such a thing about a Turkic courtier who is loyal to me. Where did she think?" She nodded and said: "That's right. But the little girl is homeless. These extraneous things are also useless, and I want to dedicate these gold bars to the temple. The little girl has nothing else to ask, but asks the presiding master to show mercy, so let's accept the little girl. The little girl is willing to become a nun and stay with the green lamp forever !"

The old nun who presided over recited the Buddha's name and recited Amitabha Buddha several times, and said: "It's so good, so good, the female benefactor has a pitiful background, she went to Turkic from the Central Plains, and returned to the Central Plains from Turkic, and came to my Ganye Temple. This is a predestined person. Fodu is destined, so I accept you as a disciple in my temple, so what can I do!"

The nuns said in unison: "Amitabha, my Buddha is merciful, so good!"

Ouyang Li on the room was stunned, almost falling off the roof. In his opinion, accepting Wu Meiniang should not be easy. He had to do some "investigation" hypocritically, and it would take two or three days, after Wu Meiniang begged repeatedly, before accepting her as a disciple.But never imagined, tell a story, just accept it!
Ouyang Li thought to himself: "If I can't go on in the future and have no place to eat, why don't I go to the monk's temple and tell the host there that I was kidnapped by a Turkic female Khan and became the husband of the Ministry. As a result, he killed his wife..."

After peeping for a while, he didn't leave until the nuns arranged Wu Meiniang into the meditation room.Gathered the brothers, when he told what happened just now, the brothers were all surprised, they all felt that a woman's heart is a needle in the bottom of the sea, it is really hard to figure it out, and a nun's heart can't be described with a needle in the bottom of the sea, even if you think about it, you can't even figure it out. Don't mention how difficult it is!
Ouyang Li left two brothers to guard here to observe the situation at any time, while he took the rest of the people and found an inn nearby.They had to wait for Wu Meiniang to officially become a monk, and they had to settle Shi Aiguo before returning to Gyeongju.

Early the next morning, Ouyang Li went to the East Palace and asked to see Shi Aiguo. Shi Aiguo met him personally. As soon as the two met, they beat their chests and stamped their feet together, saying how the woman was murdered, how, and so on. They performed to each other, trying to prove that, This matter has nothing to do with me.

After the proof, Shi Aiguo said that the prince Li Zhi was already sick because of his sadness and was lying on the bed, and sent Ouyang Li to go back early. The prince stopped writing because he was too sad, and sent a message to Wang Pingan just fine.Ouyang Li naturally agreed, left the East Palace, and went to Ganye Temple.

The affairs of Ganye Temple were not so smooth, because the presiding nun had to choose an auspicious day for accepting disciples, and waited for five days before accepting Wu Meiniang as a disciple on the auspicious day of the zodiac, and took the dharma name to be empty.

After the ceremony was over, Ouyang Li sneaked into the temple, met with Wu Meiniang, said everything that needed to be said, and then left the capital and returned to Gyeongju.

Gyeongju.

These days, Wang Pingan never went to Li Ke again. Now that Li Ke is in an "extreme period", he doesn't dare to provoke him. The matter with Wu Meiniang still doesn't know how to solve it. How dare he meddle in Li Ke's matter again? Are you afraid you won't be exhausted?
Wang Ping'an didn't go to Li Ke, but Li Ke wanted to go to Wang Ping'an, because there was news from Goguryeo that a group of Goguryeo robbers broke into the border of Yingzhou, looted and burned them, and fled before the arrival of the Tang army. up.

The reason why it was the robbers of Goguryeo, not the army, was because once an army crossed the border, a war would break out, and then Li Ke would have no chance to go to Yingzhou and continue to toss about there.

This news has already been reported to Chang'an, and it is waiting for the court to make a decision. Since the letter Li Ke asked Wang Pingan to write in advance has already been sent to Changsun Wuji, it is estimated that the reseal will take less than half an hour. It will be finalized within a month, and Li Ke will be leaving in less than a month.

Li Ke was eager to meet Wang Ping'an and get some news from him, but every time he sent someone there, he couldn't find Wang Ping'an.Wang Ping'an hid in various counties, and every time he went one step ahead of the people sent by Li Ke, it felt like someone had specially reported to him.

Li Ke also knew that Wang Ping'an was hiding from him, but he couldn't find it himself, so he would have acted too impatiently, so he had no choice but to wait.

At the same time, Chang'an.

Changsun Wuji was sitting in Shangshu Province. On the table was a document from Yingzhou. It was not an urgent matter. He only said that a group of robbers came from Goguryeo and robbed the local people, and they were wiped out by the government.This kind of thing is regarded as suppressing bandits, a trivial matter, and does not need to be reported to Shang Shusheng, but because it is a Goguryeo bandit, the credit for eradicating this bandit is doubled, so it is reported to Beijing.

Putting the document into his sleeve, Changsun Wuji thought: "It's time for me to act. Last time in front of the emperor, I praised Li Ke, saying that he was diligent in his work, and began to delve into the national conditions of Goguryeo. I want to know myself and the enemy. He won all battles, shared the worries of the court, and wiped out Goguryeo, a country of tigers and wolves. The emperor even praised him. This time, it's time to send him to Yingzhou for a walk. Little boy, play tricks with the old man, the old man is afraid that you will fail !"

The eldest grandson Wuji entered the palace and asked to see the emperor Li Shimin.Li Shimin's condition has improved during this period, and he doesn't have much illness anymore. Hearing Shi Zhongchen said that the eldest grandson Wuji has come, he summoned him immediately.

Changsun Wuji entered the Ganlu Hall, presented the document to Li Shimin, and talked about Yingzhou.After Li Shimin finished reading the documents, he was furious. What he hated most in his life was the Goguryeo people, but he couldn't destroy them. It would be good if he didn't go to conquer Goguryeo. It's okay, you must be punished, counterattack!
Li Shimin slapped the document heavily on the table, and said: "Goguryeo, a country of dung and soil, has repeatedly violated our heavenly kingdom. It is really unbearable. I am determined to march eastward. What do you think?"

Changsun Wuji has never been in favor of Li Shimin's personal conquest. He didn't approve of it when he was in good health before, not to mention that now that the emperor is sick, and he is only maintaining it, he is even more disapproving of the personal conquest.

He shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the Eastern Expedition is a major event and cannot be decided hastily. And even if you want the Eastern Expedition, you can't do it now. Otherwise, what will the people of Tang Dynasty think, and what will the subordinates of Fanbang think?"

Li Shimin said angrily: "They can think whatever they like. Does the emperor need the consent of the subjects and vassals to do things!" He slapped the table angrily, making the table thud.

However, if you are angry, you will be angry, but Li Shimin understands the meaning of Changsun Wuji's words. Even if you want to conquer Goguryeo, you can't do it now.Otherwise, he would be laughed at by others, and maybe he would have to record it in the history books. Li Shimin was most afraid that his affairs would be written indiscriminately in the history books.

A group of robbers from Goguryeo ran to the territory of the Tang Dynasty to stir up trouble, and then even attracted the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to conquest... His Majesty the Emperor is too worthless, a few small robbers can make him move, let him go all the way It's too embarrassing to go all the way to Liaodong!

Changsun Wuji remained silent, waiting for Li Shimin to lose his temper, and when his anger subsided, he said: "Your Majesty, even if you want to conquer Goguryeo, even if you want to fight in person, it is not something you can do this year. Things need to be prepared for at least a year, the transportation of food and grass, the assembly of the army, these things cannot be completed in a few months!"

Li Shimin gasped heavily, finally calmed down, and said: "I also know this, but the Goguryeo people are too hateful, I really can't wait to punish them next year, I can't wait to go now."

Changsun Wuji nodded immediately, and said: "Indeed, the little Goguryeo has repeatedly violated God's power, and must be punished. However, the old minister thinks that if we go to war, it is unnecessary. It seems that we are bullying them. Arousing the suspicion of other vassal states, thinking that my Tang Dynasty treated Goguryeo like this, and whether it will treat them like this in the future, this must be guarded against.”

Li Shimin leaned back dejectedly, and said: "You are right, it is indeed the case, so do you have a way to deal with it?"

Changsun Wuji pretended to think about it for a while, and said: "Why don't we use a blunt knife to cut the flesh, and cut slowly. It will hurt Goguryeo, and the strength will be greatly damaged. It will take about a year. All matters are also prepared, and this court food can be wiped out in one fell swoop!"

Li Shimin sighed, straightened his waist again, and said, "Wuji, you mean to cut flesh with a blunt knife, but send someone to harass Goguryeo?"

Changsun Wuji nodded and said: "Exactly, that's exactly what the old minister meant. Those Goguryeo robbers might have been sent by the small court of Goguryeo, but why can't we also send people there? They sent ten, we Send over a hundred and see who has the most people!"

Li Shimin chuckled twice, and said, "Okay, that's a good idea. It's approaching spring plowing. If we send a large number of robbers there, we can prevent the Goguryeo people from sowing. They haven't harvested this year. Let's go there next year. It's okay." Get twice the result with half the effort!"

Changsun Wuji laughed and said: "Yes, that's what the old minister thinks. However, this matter is easy to say, but difficult to do. You have to send someone who is familiar with Goguryeo, but it seems that the court is not very familiar with Goguryeo. people, everyone looks down on Goguryeo and disdains to understand this country of dung!"

Li Shimin hummed, thought for a while, and said, "Last time, Wuji, you said that Ke'er was studying the customs of Goguryeo. Do you think it's appropriate to send him there?"
