Chapter 511: The Widow of Emperor Zhou
The morning bell rang, and a new day began.
When it was Xiu Mu, Luo Renjun had used food and left the house early and rode his horse to the west of the city.
After walking slowly in the bustling traffic for half an hour, Luo Renjun came to the east gate of Xiuxiangfang, and two archers saluted him at the door:
"Yuwen Shi has met Nanyang Duke!"
"Luo Erjiu has met Mr. Nanyang!"
Luo Renjun waved to signal, Yuwen Shi, Luo Erjiu understood it, and immediately stepped forward and asked, "What are the instructions of Nanyang Gong?"
Luo Renjun solemnly explained: "I inform the Yuwen family and the elders of the Luo family that they were discussing affairs at Fangdong Si Temple at the moment. I will go to Wanshan Temple first."
"Here!"
After the two fangdings agreed, Luo Renjun rode his horse and whipped in. The pedestrians in the fang seemed to know him, and they all retreated to both sides of the streets and alleys to salute him silently.
Soon, Luo Renjun rushed to the southeast corner of Xiuxiangfang, led his horse forward and knocked on the main entrance of Wanshan Temple. The temple door opened, and an old nun poked out while yawning. When he saw that the visitor was a man, he was shocked, but then rubbed his eyes and saw that the other party was Luo Renjun. He immediately showed joy again and urged with a smile: "It turns out to be the second young master. Come in quickly, don't let the idle people see it!"
Wanshan Temple is actually a nunnery. It was built in the second year of Emperor Xuan of Northern Zhou Dynasty. After Yang Jian established the Sui Dynasty, he ordered more than a thousand palace people from the royal concubines of the Northern Zhou Dynasty to enter the temple and be ordained as nuns, and then he basically ignored it and let these women die.
As the stars change, the Sui Dynasty falls and the Tang Dynasty rises, more than half a century has passed in the blink of an eye. Most of the beauties of the harem have passed away now, and the rest are about to die in the Qinglantern Ancient Buddha, so there is no popularity in the temple, as if they have been forgotten by the world.
Luo Renjun entered the temple gate, tied up his mount on the stone stake, and then followed the old nun who was guarding the door to the deepest courtyard in the temple.
The crows are silent and the environment is quiet, with only the wooden fishes and Sanskrit sounds. When the old nun joins together and leaves, Luo Renjun pushes open the door of the temple in the courtyard. There are two female nuns in black clothes. One is sitting upright with a cushion, plucking the rosary with her left hand upright in front of her nose, and knocking on the wooden fish with a rhythmic rhythmic rhythm with the other holding a paint plate and a thin brush in his hand. He draws on the Guanyin sitting statue on the lotus platform facing the door, with his movements and postures quite focused.
The chanting of scriptures came to an abrupt end. The two nuns heard the movement and put down the instruments in their hands, turned to look at the door. The nuns sitting upright looked with their eyes empty and asked, "Who is here?"
Her skin is very white. If you look closely at her appearance, you can vaguely tell the charm of the past, but she obviously suffers from eye disease and it is difficult to see things.
Another nun replied calmly: "It's my grandson."
The girl's eyebrows are as white as snow, but she is well maintained, has plump body and has few wrinkles on her face. She is actually a person in her seventies, but she looks only in her early fifties. She is Luo Renjun's grandmother, Hua Guang Nishi Chen Yueyi, and her companion who practices Zen and Buddhist practice with her is Huasheng Nishi Yuan Leshang, who was born in the Northern Wei royal family.
Luo Renjun stepped forward and bowed and said, "The child has met his grandmother and Niu Huasheng."
Chen Yueyi looked at him and asked, "Shiwulang came here early in the morning and didn't know what was going on?"
Luo Renjun said: "The grandson was given a marriage by Emperor Tang."
Yuan Leshang's turbid pupils seemed to flash a bright color, his palms were folded together, and he shouted the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, good, good!"
Chen Yueyi saw Luo Renjun's expression was neither sad nor happy, and her white eyebrows couldn't help but frown slightly: "The grandson came to report the good news, and she should be full of spring breeze. Why is she so quiet? Could it be that Li Yuan asked you to be the princess's son-in-law?"
Luo Renjun nodded and replied, "Yes."
After hearing this, Yuan Leshang clasped himself again: "Good, it's good to be a princess. Shiwulang has been reluctant to get married. The poor nun has always been worried about when Shiwulang can't stand it, so he became the princess of the country protection..."
When Yuanle Shang was young, he was eccentric and lively, and was very favored by Emperor Xuan of Northern Zhou Yuwen Yun. Although she had been a monk for decades, her words and deeds were still a little abrupt. When Chen Yueyi heard something was wrong with her words and deeds, she interrupted with anger: "The Shiwulang is a descendant of the late emperor, how could he be a head of a nameless person? Besides, I heard that the princess protecting the country made a ruthless heart to cut off her husband's relationship with her husband's consort in order to avoid ruining her Taoist practice and maintaining her eternal youth. Her ruthless behavior made us sigh that she was not as good as her. Otherwise, the man who was so arrogant as a phoenix and dragon figure would not have been delayed for so many years because of her."
Then, she asked Luo Renjun kindly: "Let me tell my grandmother, who is the Li girl who is married to?"
Luo Renjun said: "Princess Zhuyang Li Siti."
Yuan Leshang also wanted to ask Princess Zhu Yang how this girl was. Chen Yueyi raised her eyebrows and said in dissatisfaction: "Why is a Persian beard?!"
When Li Situ was given the surname Li by Li Yuan's edict, he invited him to join the clan, it can be said that it shocked the court and the country. Even though Chen Yueyi lived in Ni Temple in deep, he knew a little about this.
Yuan Leshang immediately looked angry when he heard this, and couldn't help but curse: "Li Yuan is so old, he is really too bullying!"
Judging from her limited knowledge, Persia is just a very remote little country, and even the princess who was born in a palace maid was much better than Li Siti.
She said, blaming Luo Renjun with a look of forgiveness, "Over the years, your grandmother and I have been urging you to start a family soon... If we had known this, we would have forced you to have a few good children. There are so many good girls in Xiuxiangfang who want to be your wife and concubine! Now, it's so good that the Li family has been regarded as a gift for the foreign country!"
Yuan Le has not given birth to children yet and has always regarded Luo Renjun as his grandson. When he heard this "bad news", he became more and more angry and he became more and more angry. Luo Renjun was angry when he saw her, and his grandmother also had a dark face and hurriedly smiled: "Two old men, please get rid of it, things are definitely not what you think..."
It took Luo Renjun a whole hour to explain how he saved Princess Zhu Yang, how Princess Huguo persuaded him to agree to accept Princess Zhu Yang's date, and the feudal system that Princess Huguo was about to implement.
At the end of the talk, he did not forget to correct the two old men's wrong perception of Persia, found bamboo paper, picked up grandmother's fine brush, dipped it in pigment, used the skills he learned from the Princess of the Guardian, and quickly outlined a small map of simple lines without distortion on the paper, then put down the pen, and pointed on the picture: "This place is Persia."
Chen Yueyi picked up the map, looked carefully, and then nodded clearly and said, "I didn't expect that Persia is so vast."
Yuan Leshang asked curiously: "How big is it?"
Chen Yueyi said seriously: "Its territory is about half of the Tang Dynasty."
Luo Renjun added: "If Persia's state affairs had not declined, the territory would have been much larger."
Yuan Leshang's eyes seemed to lit up again, and even his tone became excited: "As Renjun said just now, if Princess Zhu Yang could succeed the throne, the Lin'er she gave birth to would be my king of the Great Zhou Dynasty to restore the country!"
Luo Renjun thought for a while and said, "Actually, I have something else to tell my grandmother and Nishi Huasheng."
"What's the matter?"
Luo Renjun thought carefully and said carefully: "After Renjun and Princess Zhu Yang get married, they may lead the Yuwen family and the Luo family to follow the Princess of the Guguo to the West, and then lay their roots in Persia. The journey is very long, maybe..."
After Chen Yueyi and Yuan Leshang looked at each other, before Luo Renjun finished speaking, he quickly intercepted and said, "Grandmother has understood what grandson means, and we will fully support you."
Yuan Le raised his head and said, "No, Renjun, don't complain that your grandmother and I are old. As long as there is still a breath, we will follow you wherever you go!"
