Chapter 4726 Jinyang Cultivation
In the palace of Wude Palace, Li Chengqian completely exploded.
"It's simply lawless! I am the eldest son of Emperor Taizong, of the great ancestor's blood. I have received the great destiny, hold the map and govern the universe. I am the lord of the world and the guardian of the heaven. I am the nine-five supreme. How glorious is it? You are looking down on it. I'm so cruel that I can't tolerate harsh punishments and punishments, so I can't bear it. Who can't bear it! Do you really think that I don't dare to kill you?"
The sound of "bang bang" was heard endlessly, but in anger, Li Chengqian dropped the cup on the ground. All the concubines, servants, and maids were all prostrate on the ground, trembling, not daring to offend the emperor's wrath.
The thin shoulders of Princess Jinyang, who was kneeling at the front, were trembling slightly. She was filled with tears and pitiful. She said softly: "It's my sister who is willful. Why does my brother get angry at others? It's because my sister doesn't know how to be considerate of his love and care. Why should I ask him to please me?" Forgive others, and my sister will do the same.”
In the past, when she showed such a weak posture and shed tears, Li Chengqian would have completely dissipated his anger and let it go. But today, instead of calming Li Chengqian's anger, it seemed to add fuel to the fire.
Li Chengqian was furious, pointed his halberd and shouted: "I have always indulged you and never tolerated a word of harsh criticism. But instead of understanding my love, you have become arrogant and intensified, and that's all. Marriage is the responsibility of your parents." How can fate and the words of a matchmaker be Are you allowed to make your own decisions? You are too high-minded to look down on this or that. I allow you to choose a consort that suits your needs, but how do you become a monk? This remaining life is simply ridiculous!”
Princess Jinyang had never seen such an angry Li Chengqian. Seeing the blue veins on his forehead and his hideous face, she was so frightened that she cried and did not dare to speak.
Ever since she could remember, her father, mother, queen, brothers, and sisters had always loved and doted on her, but she had never heard even a harsh word. How had she ever been scolded in such a rage?
All the concubines, chamberlains, and maids also know the unique treatment of this little princess in the palace, so His Majesty is so angry now, which makes everyone more and more frightened and out of their minds...
"The Queen is here!"
The waiter at the door shouted loudly, and at random, the dignified Queen Su, dressed in a crimson palace dress and with a head full of pearls and emeralds, slowly walked into the palace, gathered her train and saluted: "I come to see your majesty. Your majesty has always been graceful, peaceful, kind and kind, but I don't know Why are you so angry today?”
Li Chengqian turned around and sat back on the chair on the side, slapped the coffee table hard with his palm, and said angrily: "Ask this girl, do you want to make me angry to death? This is a big deal!"
There is no better way to know a husband than a wife. They have been together as young couples for many years and know each other best. Although His Majesty's character is far from being as gentle and gentle as he appears on the outside, and is even a bit violent, he has always been generous and unbearable towards his brothers and sisters. She was scolded, especially Princess Jinyang, who was favored by Emperor Taizong and Li Chengqian. To be scolded like this in public today, it is obvious that the matter is very serious.
Thinking of this, Queen Su's heart trembled slightly. It was no secret that Princess Jinyang had feelings for Fang Jun. Could it be that she and Fang Jun secretly made a life-long commitment and did something deviant...
Queen Su opened her beautiful eyes and looked at Princess Jinyang carefully for several times. She saw that there was nothing unusual about her eyes, eyebrows, and body posture. She was probably still a virgin. Then she felt relieved. She stepped forward to help her up and waved her hand first. After repelling everyone, he took Princess Jinyang and sat down On the chair opposite Li Chengqian, he took out a handkerchief to wipe Princess Jinyang's tears, and said softly: "What on earth have you done to make His Majesty so angry? Your Majesty loves you the most. If you have anything to say, please tell me as long as it's not too much. Can I refuse you?”
"Dream! This is absolutely not possible!"
Li Chengqian's tone was decisive and unquestionable.
The queen became more and more curious, wiping Princess Jinyang's rouge-white jade cheeks with her green-white fingers, and asked in a low voice: "What's going on?"
Princess Jinyang stopped crying, lowered her head, and said softly: "My brother asked me to get married, but I refused. Since he can't tolerate me continuing to live in Taiji Palace, then I will go to Zhongnan Mountain to build a Taoist temple to become a monk and practice Taoism for the rest of my life." It is enough to spend time in the mountains and rivers cultivating Taoism, seeking immortality, and cultivating one’s character.”
Li Chengqian was furious: "Go to Zhongnan Mountain to practice Taoism? Are you going to follow the example of Changle and have an affair with the traitor, or even have a secret marriage? The royal family has lost all face by you, you are so shameless!"
"Your Majesty, be careful what you say!"
Queen Su raised her eyebrows and looked at the furious Li Chengqian: "Your Majesty is the Supreme Being, how can you speak so unhesitatingly?"
If Li Chengqian's words spread, how could the two princesses Changle and Jinyang still survive?
Even other princesses have to bear a bad reputation. The princesses of the Tang Dynasty who originally had a very bad reputation due to Emperor Gaozu and the princesses have to be notorious in the streets...
Li Chengqian also realized that he had made a mistake, so he sat on the chair angrily and remained silent.
The queen stroked Princess Jinyang's temples and asked softly: "What exactly do you think?"
At this time, Princess Jinyang stopped crying. She held the queen's hand and said softly to Li Chengqian: "Brother, don't be angry. My sister is not what you think. First, when Taoist Master Sun Simiao diagnosed my pulse, he said I had congenital gas. If you are weak and have damaged internal organs, you may not be able to survive to adulthood, so you are not suitable for marriage even though your health has improved in recent years. It has improved, but the foundation has been damaged, and it is still unknown what will happen in the future. Wouldn't it be harmful to others and yourself to get married rashly? Besides, there is indeed no young handsome man in Chang'an or in the world who can look at him, and his brother is not good either. Just for the sake of so-called marriage, you can just assign someone to marry your sister, right?”
Li Chengqian was choked and speechless.
He still remembered that Sizi was extremely fragile after he was born. He was like a little kitten in his mother's arms. He could not even breathe softly and softly. He finally grew up, but Sun Simiao concluded that he was born with damaged heart and was unable to breathe. Live to adulthood.
At that time, my father, who had always been stubborn and murderous without mercy, cried bitterly while caressing his mother's memorial tablet at night, blaming himself for failing to fulfill the promise he made when his wife was dying...
In addition, as Si Zi said, there is no suitable marriage partner.
The Shandong aristocratic family has a long history and has a high self-esteem. Even though it has been suppressed again and again and has lost its former glory, it still refuses to let go. It would be fine if its daughter married into the royal family, but Princess Shang would rather die than do so.
The Guanlong clan was already in ruins, and had deep hatred with the Li and Tang royal family, so they would definitely not marry Sizi to suffer abuse.
The gentry in the south of the Yangtze River live in a corner, and their talents have withered in recent years. The mediocre people are not worth a glance.
Although many young generals have emerged in the army in recent years, how can a vulgar warrior be worthy of his beautiful and beautiful sister?
Looking at his sister's red and swollen eye circles and pitiful frailty, Li Chengqian sighed and said guiltily: "It's not because of my brother that I forced you to marry. I really can't bear to see you die alone. Since you insist on doing this, how can I say that because of my brother?" What? From now on? You make your own decisions about marriage. You can marry whoever you want. If you don’t want to marry, then don’t marry. As your brother, you are the head of the empire. How can you not afford to raise a biological sister? Just enjoy it.”
Who allowed himself to be the elder brother?
Who allowed himself to be surrounded by such careless brothers and sisters?
Then take on your responsibilities as an elder brother. If you don't want to get married, then don't get married.
Leng Buding realized that there was a flaw in his words and hurriedly said: "Although I promise you to marry whoever you want, it just shows that I don't care about my status, but some people can't marry! You can't marry when I'm alive, even if You can’t marry me even if I’m dead! No matter how he tries to seduce you, remember that I will never allow it!”
Li Chengqian glared and threatened, closing the loopholes in his words.
Before Princess Jinyang could speak, the queen was already displeased and said: "What did you say, Your Majesty? The Duke of Yue has always loved Sizi as if he were a girl, and he didn't have any dirty intentions. What you said is a bit unfair." .”
Li Chengqian's anger that had just calmed down suddenly rose up. He glared angrily and protected him day and night. Now he couldn't even say a word?
But if he quarreled over this, he would lose all face. He could only stand up angrily, say "unreasonable" and walk away.
The queen was simply baffled. She looked at Princess Jinyang and asked, "Did I say the wrong thing?"
Princess Jinyang was also confused. She shook her head and said in confusion: "You don't think that sentence is wrong? My brother-in-law only has brother-sister love for me, and there is no love between a man and a woman. I know this in my heart, so what my brother said is indeed inappropriate. Maybe... there are other reasons? ”
"Other reasons?"
The Queen frowned, but she was confused.
Shaking his head, not thinking about His Majesty's recent surly character and explosive temper, he took Princess Jinyang's slender hand and asked with concern: "What do you think? If you don't want to get married, don't get married yet. Don't get married yet. At such a young age, why do you want to become a monk and practice Taoism? Is it true that your Majesty has a wrong idea?”
It is not difficult for a princess to become a monk, and besides, Taoism has many fewer rules than Buddhism, and apart from studying Taoism, the rest of the time is much freer. The princess is a golden branch, and she will not be as miserable as other Taoists.
But a girl in her prime who takes off her fine clothes and wears a green shirt is still arousing pity.
Princess Jinyang held the queen's hand, shook her head and said: "How could you think so? My brother has wronged me. Just like what I said to my brother, I still think it is better not to marry. A Taoist temple, a blue shirt, three Qian Daozang, while cultivating one's moral character, can see the clouds rolling and relaxing, the flowers blooming and falling, not stained by the world, not lingering on things, being among the cranes and deer, and decaying with the grass and trees, it is very good."
Why do women have to marry?
If you study Taoism and the art of cultivating immortality, you can make your own decisions about your own life. Why should you marry someone else and endure the troubles of daily necessities and human relationships, as well as the hardships and hardships of raising a husband and raising children, being dignified and virtuous?
It is naturally difficult for ordinary people to escape from the trap of the world and cannot challenge clan etiquette, but as a princess of the Tang Dynasty, she naturally has such qualifications. Otherwise, what is the point of our ancestors throwing their heads and blood to fight the world and wrap their bodies in horse leather?
