A knife in love

Listening to Murong Danyan's words, Ye Fengchun thought to himself that this girl didn't know where she heard this story, and there were many fallacies in it.Just now she said that Tang He sent someone to send a letter to Emperor Taizu, inviting him to serve under Guo Zixing's command, but then she talked about what happened to Emperor Taizu in Huangjue Temple. mentioned.Mu Yatou acts crazily and speaks insanely. I don't know why Yang Zhenzhong regards this crazy girl as his confidant.Maybe this smelly girl is the illegitimate daughter of Yang Zhenzhong, which makes her so arrogant and lawless.Hmph, if Li Baihu hadn't been guarding her, the stinky girl would have been hacked to death long ago!
While Ye Fengchun was thinking, he only heard Murong Danyan continue: "The abbot of Huangjue Temple, Gao Bin, is despicable, treacherous and cunning. He is indeed a villain with a human face and a heart. But he wants the monks to leave Huangjue Temple and help people who have funerals It is not a lie to do things in exchange for money. It should be noted that after the Tartars entered the Central Plains, they have always believed in Lamaism, and Lamaism is a branch of Buddhism, so the common people also believe in Buddha. When funerals are held at home, monks are often invited Recite the scriptures, eliminate the sins of the dead, and save the dead to go to the Paradise of Paradise. Although most of the monks in Huangjue Temple are monks for a day, few of them really serve the Buddha and Bodhisattva, but they have been monks in Huangjue Temple for many years It is still possible to recite a few scriptures. It is not difficult to cheat a few pennies by pretending to recite a paragraph of true or false scriptures at funerals.

"It's just that Emperor Taizu has only been in the temple for a few months. He has to rush to ring the bell every morning, and then clean the courtyard and hall. In addition, Emperor Taizu has to do many chores in the temple. He has no time to chant scriptures and worship Buddha. Later, he was called to serve Gao Bin, not only to serve Gao Bin, but also to take care of his wife and children. He was so busy every day that he had no time to recite scriptures. Therefore, he worked as a monk in Huangjue Temple for several months. He has not even recited a volume of scriptures, even if someone asks him to recite scriptures at funerals to save the dead, he will not be able to do it. As for doing Buddhist ceremonies for rich people and wealthy families, Emperor Taizu dared not even think about it. Here, standing outside Huangjue Temple, he felt that his future was bleak and he didn't know where to find a way out.

"Although Emperor Taizu hesitated in his heart, he knew that Huangjue Temple was no longer a place to stay, and he had to leave here. He stood blankly outside the mountain gate for a long time, watching many senior brothers leave the temple one after another, but no one came with him. He greeted him. Emperor Taizu remembered how he had been insulted and bullied by these monks after he arrived at Huangjue Temple, and he was extremely indignant, thinking to himself that these bald donkeys were Buddhist disciples on the surface, but in fact they were all despicable and shameless. What kind of compassionate son?! One day, if Lao Tzu is alive again and has money in his hands, he must beat these bald donkeys hard and let out a bad breath!
"Emperor Taizu left Huangjue Temple, wearing a broken straw hat and tattered monk's robes, carrying a small bundle on his back. Muyu walked down an official road aimlessly. At that time, Emperor Taizu's parents died. Although he still had brothers and sisters, in the year of catastrophe and chaos, brothers and sisters could hardly protect themselves, so naturally they couldn't take care of him. Yes Emperor Yi Taizu left Huangjue Temple without thinking of going to his relatives at all, just thinking about where to go to get food so as not to starve to death.

"After walking for several miles, Emperor Taizu finally woke up from his panic. In fact, Emperor Taizu was a very clever and clever person, otherwise he would not have become the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He knew that the world was in chaos, and people were everywhere. Fighting wars and encountering natural disasters, if he walks aimlessly, even if he is not killed by rebels or bandits, if he walks to a place with plague in a daze, he will be in a desperate situation. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but Covered in cold sweat, he hurriedly stopped, thought carefully, and made up his mind before walking along the official road.

"In the evening of that day, he arrived at the largest town in the area. At that time, the town was empty, and most of the people had fled. He asked for some food, but he heard that there were fewer wars and natural disasters in the south. If he could find a safe place in the south, it would be enough to accommodate him. After Emperor Taizu left the town, he decided to travel to the south. That night he searched for a place outside the town. Rest in an empty house where no one lives, and go straight to Dingyuan County, the largest county in the area, early the next morning.

"Dingyuan County has a Tazi official government office, and there are many Tazi soldiers stationed there, so there are still many people living in the city. After Emperor Taizu entered the city, he first went to the people's homes for alms, but many people refused to open the door for him at all. Occasionally, a few people opened the door, and when they saw the appearance of Emperor Taizu, they immediately closed the door again. There were also a few bad-tempered men who, when they saw Emperor Taizu, immediately cursed, even rolled up their sleeves, and swung their fists to beat Taizu. Emperor Zu, forced Emperor Taizu to turn around and run away, otherwise he would have been beaten black and blue."

Murong Danyan sighed at this point, and then continued: "Emperor Taizu is so embarrassed because he has been a monk in Huangjue Temple for several months, but he actually worked as a handyman in the temple. The servant didn’t even read a few lines of the scriptures, and he didn’t even know how to get alms. It seems simple, but it’s not easy. There are many tricks and taboos in it. It is not uncommon to be beaten and scolded for alms. On that day, Emperor Taizu wandered around in Dingyuan County. After kicking him a few times, he panicked like a bereaved dog, and finally he could only hide under a big tree in an alley.

"Seeing that it was getting late, the Emperor Taizu was not only sad, but also panicked. This is because although he could endure the night without food, it was unbearably cold after dark. If he couldn't find a place to shelter from the wind and rain , must be frozen to death. Dingyuan County is no better than the few villages and towns he walked through. Most of the people in the city have not escaped, so there are not many vacant houses in the city. And even if there are vacant houses, Emperor Taizu would not dare to rush in Otherwise, if there are soldiers patrolling the night at night, once the Emperor Taizu is found hiding in the house, he will be suspected of being a thief. Either he will be killed on the spot, or he will be arrested and tortured in the Yamen. The Emperor Taizu thought that he used to watch the trial of the county magistrate in the Yamen The scene of beating the prisoner to death at that time was really horrifying, so he would rather freeze to death than break into the house of no one to hide."
