What's the story of Princess Yongtai?

One year, Hu Taihou, accompanied by hundreds of concubines, princesses and eunuchs, took the son of heaven and queen for a spring outing to Songshan Mountain in Zhongyue. When you were in high spirits, Princess Yongtai sincerely persuaded Hu Taihou to return to politics with her brother. Hu Taihou was furious after hearing this, thinking that Yongtai and his brother joined forces to seize power and left immediately, killing her heart. Princess Yongtai stood on the roadside like a bolt of lightning. Just as Princess Yongtai was in tears, Emperor Xiaoming arrived and saw his sister in tears. He asked, "Sister, you were very happy just now. Why are you crying? "

The more Emperor Xiaoming asked, the more Princess Yongtai burst into tears. Finally, she said, "Brother, sister hurt you!" " Emperor Xiaoming was surprised and asked, "Did you mention returning to politics in front of the Queen Mother?" Princess Yongtai cried speechless and just nodded her head. Emperor Xiaoming also burst into tears, looked at Princess Yongtai and said, "Sister doesn't have to be sad. My brother's death is not enough, but I can't bear it!" Princess Yongtai asked, "In that case, what should I do?" Ming Chengzu said: "When things come to this, there is only one way for you to live, just like the Empress Dowager." Princess Yongtai said, "Do I also get a haircut and become a monk?" Emperor Xiaoming said, "Yes, you can never go back to Beijing!" Princess Yongtai cried into tears and asked, "What about you?" Emperor Xiaoming urged: "Otome, let's go, don't be seen by the Queen Mother, you can't leave if you want!" Princess Yongtai didn't care much at this time. She made a deep ceremony to Emperor Xiaoming and fled to the mountains along the ravine.

Hu Taihou traveled in Zhongyue for three days. When he returned to Beijing, the eunuch told him that Princess Yongtai was missing. Mrs. Hu later sent someone to search the mountain and asked Emperor Xiaoming, who also said he didn't know. Hu Taihou had no choice but to return to Beijing and Luoyang.

Princess Yongtai fled into the mountains and lived in a cave, hungry and thirsty, and finally fell into a coma. Just then, Yu Hui, old ni, went to the mountain to get firewood, and found a girl in a palace costume in the cave, unconscious, and returned to the temple. After the rescue, the woman woke up and asked, only to know that it was a royal aunt. Yu Hui asked, "Since you are an aunt, you are not enjoying your happiness in Luoyang Palace. What are you doing in this deep forest? " Princess Yongtai told her story from beginning to end and repeatedly begged Yu Hui to accept her as an apprentice. Yu Hui readily agreed. From then on, Princess Yongtai became a monk in a temple practiced in the Ming Dynasty. Princess Yongtai practiced martial arts while chanting Buddha in the temple, and trained a group of monks with superb martial arts. Later, she led the monks back to Luoyang and helped her brother Xu Yuan win the throne. Then he rode back to the temple on a white horse. Emperor Xiaoming repeatedly asked her not to return to the palace. It is not rare to give her gold and silver treasures. Ming Chengzu wanted to build a temple next to the temple where Ming Lian lived, and the Huanggu Building was built at that time. Princess Yongtai accumulated many virtues during her stay in Nepal. After her death, people renamed Minglian Temple as Yongtai Temple in memory of her. (now Dengfeng City, Henan Province).
