Chapter 560 Killing the Chicken
The ceremony was interrupted. Li Lijun looked at her scumbag father, Li Dai, being dragged away, and knew that the matter of becoming a monk would not continue for the time being.
She could only remain silent, watching as the elders were either flustered, anxious, or angry, gathering together to discuss what to do next.
When Princess Dou and Princess Pei saw off their guests, she originally planned to step forward to make up the number, but was stopped by Princess Wan'an.
Although she did not officially become a disciple, Princess Wan'an acted as a disciple today, and Li Lijun was a junior in her family. She still fulfilled her responsibilities and reminded Li Lijun in a low voice: "Although today's ceremony has been interrupted, the next step is to
All that's left is taking refuge, becoming obedient, preaching precepts, and thanking the master. If your family really can't take care of you, just take the time to go to Jinxian Temple to complete the rest of the process, that's it. If... it's really inconvenient
, then go back to the mountains. I heard that you now live in the Qinling Mountains and often visit Taoist temples to worship. I think it will not be difficult to find a Taoist temple that is willing to perform rituals for you. Your ultimatum has already been made, Guan
Your clothes are all ready, and after you have finished your ceremony in front of the three masters, you will be a serious monk. The hustle and bustle in the world has nothing to do with you."
This is already a reminder to Li Lijun, telling her how to avoid being implicated in disasters at home.
Li Lijun understood Princess Wan'an's kindness, solemnly thanked her, and then sent her away with Princess Yuzhen and others.
After seeing off the guests, he returned to the main hall. King Sui, Princess Dou, Princess Pei, his second uncle Li Jiu, and his third uncle Li Lang gathered together to discuss business, and drove the rest of the female family members and children of the younger generation back to their courtyards.
Go. Even the eldest grandson Li Jianrang was driven away. Naturally, the little granddaughter Li Lijun was not qualified to participate in the discussion.
Li Lijun didn't care either. Although today's sudden change was beyond her expectation, she didn't really care in her heart. She became a nun and became a nun. She just wanted to concentrate on her practice and didn't want to be disturbed by things in the world. She didn't have to be a female Taoist priest.
No. Anyway, many people today know that she is going to become a monk. After today, she appears in front of the world wearing a Taoist robe. Who can insist on using the standards of ordinary clan girls to ask her to marry her or something?
However, it is a bit surprising that Emperor Xuanzong suddenly attacked his nephew Li Dai. Does he still have free will now? Li Dai is the eldest son of Sui King Li Longti, and in the history of the Tang Dynasty, Li Longti died young and did not live long enough to give birth to a son.
Age. There is no such person as Li Dai in the history books, so naturally there is no record of him angering Xuanzong. Xuanzong always ignored him, so what was his thinking now that he would send the imperial army to arrest him?
Could it be that... Xuanzong was only manipulated to make actions that were consistent with Tang history records at certain specific moments? At other times, he could still have his own will to decide some things?
With this idea in mind, Li Lijun thought about finding a way to find out. Now that something happened to Li Dai, if she contacted Xiao Gao Lishi, it wouldn't arouse suspicion, right?
Li Lijun calmly comforted Li Jianrang: "Aye just talked nonsense after being drunk to make the saint angry. He neither held real power nor had many troops in his hands, nor did he actually do anything treasonous and unethical. Whenever he met the saint, he would
He never forgot his etiquette and was extremely respectful. No matter how angry the saint was, he couldn't really treat him as a traitor, and then treat Aweng, Grandma, and our whole family as the traitor's family members, and deal with them together. Really.
To be honest, the saint is also a close relative of our family, and there are many eldest princesses here, so is it possible that the saint can still deal with all of us?"
Li Jianrang's expression softened a little: "You are right. With Aweng here, the saint... will not ignore the love of brotherhood."
Li Lijun was happy to see Li Jianrang recognize the true identity of her own father, and she patiently helped analyze it: "This happened when Aye and Li Linfu's son gathered for a banquet, which happened several months ago.
Since Aye fell from his horse, he hasn't been out much. When he meets friends occasionally, others come to his door. Now that Aweng has spoken, there are even fewer people coming to his door. Therefore, this must be when Li Linfu's condition is not too serious.
It’s something that happens when it’s serious.”
Li Lijun felt that Li Jian made the boy look more like the one who was about to get into trouble, so she helped him move forward without any explanation, and also signaled his maid, Cang Cui, to be smarter and step forward to hold his other arm.
Li Jianrang showed a wry smile: "As long as Aye can return safely, it doesn't matter whether the king is there or not. Maybe... I don't have the chance to inherit the throne, and the family can be more peaceful, without so many messy things."
Not to mention anything else, if the Chen family and Xiao Yang family were still alive, the latter would not have committed the crime of hiring a murderer to put his own son in power and harmed the Chen family. The relationship between their brothers and sisters would not be so tense.
To this point today.
Li Jianrang was "held" by the two girls back to his yard. Seeing her elder man's face getting more and more ugly, Cang Cui felt a little panicked and hurriedly went to find his mother Cang Niangzi and brought the ginseng soup she had cooked in the morning.
He brought it over and stared at Li Jianrang as he drank most of the bowl. Various braziers, fur shawls, hot tea bowls and other things were brought up, but Li Jianrang was barely allowed to lie down on the bed. Seeing Li Jianrang's complexion change,
After they became a little rosy, they relaxed a little and looked at Li Lijun with grateful eyes.
If Li Dai really loses his position as heir, the only people who will be directly affected, besides the Pei family as the heir concubine, is Li Jianrang as the heir.
She was deep in thought when she suddenly saw Li Jianrang, who was walking in the front, tilting a bit as if he was about to fall. She rushed forward to help her: "Brother, what's wrong? Are you okay?"
Li Lijun added: "It's just that Aye is not the only son of Aweng. If the saint really hates Aye, even if he is treated lightly for Aweng's sake, Aye may not be able to securely be the heir in the future."
I have taken the position." She paused and looked at Li Jianrang, "Brother, you must be aware of this."
After hearing that his father's life was probably not in danger, Li Jianrang relaxed a lot and began to think about the cause of today's incident: "Why did Aye say those words in front of Li Linfu's son? Even if it was drunken nonsense,
You should easily say things that offend the saint. Once people know it, you will definitely not be able to get rid of him if you tell him in front of the saint. He keeps saying that he is unappreciated for his talent, but the things he does are not at all like what a talented person would do.
!”
Li Jianrang turned to look at her with a pale face: "Little sister, Aye... will everything be okay?"
Li Jianrang also remembered: "I remember... At that time, because Li Linfu was seriously ill and his position was vacant, Aye felt that he had a great chance and even took the initiative to get close to their family members."
Li Lijun smiled: "Perhaps Aye just thinks that Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong are not on good terms, and he is doing what he likes by saying bad things about Yang Guozhong in front of Li Linfu's son. He just shouldn't involve the saint after drinking.
In fact, the Li Linfu family didn't take Aye seriously at all, and they hid the matter from him, probably because they were also present and were afraid of being implicated. But who would have thought that they were the first to eliminate Aye's troubles, and Aye was behind
I think they were unwilling to support me in taking over the position, so they turned around and fawned over Yang Guozhong. Li Linfu's sons have been famous for so many years, how can they bear this tone?"
I'm afraid they had already remembered this fact in their hearts and did not have an attack at that time. Later, when they saw Li Dai falling out with Yang Guozhong and recuperating behind closed doors, as if they were miserable, they did not care about him. Now they are about to be unlucky.
Naturally, you have to recruit someone to step in and act as a warning to other people so that they don't add insult to injury. You also have to say something nice for them, otherwise don't blame them for pulling people into trouble.
Apart from Li Dai, who has only status but no real authority, who else could be more suitable for this "chicken" to be killed?
