Chapter 138

The next day, Fengtian Temple, after the morning court.

All the ministers filed out, Zhu Di had a gloomy face, and next to him was Jin Wang Zhu Yan who followed.

Zhu Di didn't expect that his father would give him such a trick, completely breaking his plan.

Of course, Zhu Di knew the details of the third brother Zhu Yan, and he was about [-]-[-] when it came to leading troops in battle.

What's more, Zhu Yan has a violent temper, and when leading troops, he is more stable than himself.

"Fourth brother, this time the Haiyan Pingwa, it seems that we two brothers will work together again."

How could Zhu Di be willing to give up this opportunity? Seeing that Zhu Di was about to go far away, he hurriedly chased him, and said with a laugh.

Today's morning court really gave him a big surprise.

He had never thought about the matter of the head coach of Haiping Pingwo, mainly because the domain was too far away in Taiyuan, Shanxi.

Then today, Emperor Father suddenly announced that he and King Yan would be in charge of the Haiyan Pingwa, and that they would be divided into two armies, which would be under the control of the two.

What is the difference between this kind of march and the 23rd year of Hongwu?

Zhu Di was already a little bored, and when he heard his third brother Zhu Yan rushing to mock him, he couldn't help but get angry.

It's just that there are so many people outside Fengtian Hall, Zhu Di can only hold back.

"This time, I still have to rely on my third brother." Zhu Di said lightly, and was about to leave.

"Fourth brother, don't be in a hurry to leave, we two brothers have to plan carefully." Zhu Yan said jokingly.

"Third brother, don't go too far." Zhu Di's voice was a little cold.

Apparently, Zhu Yan's actions over and over again made him angry.

Zhu Di can also be regarded as a warrior, and a warrior has a more irritable personality.

"Hey, what's the matter, is the fourth brother angry? I didn't say anything, brother, or the fourth brother doesn't want to go to the coast to Pingwa, so why didn't I say it earlier."

"Why don't you talk to my father for you, brother, so I don't bother fourth brother to go over this time about Pingwo."

Seeing that Zhu Di was deflated, Zhu Yan felt refreshed a lot.

He had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

I just feel elated today.

Hearing this, Zhu Di, who was always moving forward, stopped. He was really afraid that King Jin Zhu Min would make a fuss with his father.

So Qiang Yan smiled and said: "What is the third brother talking about? Just like what the father said, the southeast coast is so vast that one person cannot guard it. It has to be our two brothers who are of the same heart, so that we can cut through the gold."

"Hahaha."

Zhu Yan laughed three times, without showing any face.Looking at Zhu Di, it was like watching a monkey play.

After laughing, he ignored Zhu Di and walked away.

This kind of laughter attracted the attention of all the officials, making Zhu Di stand still, very embarrassed.

Zhu Di stared fiercely at the back of Zhu Fen's departure, clenched his teeth, and boiled with anger.

Hearing that there seemed to be ministers talking about it, he glanced over coldly.

Immediately, the ministers fell silent, bowed their heads and left quickly.

This kind of royal affairs, as long as anyone has a bit of brains, he knows that he should not get involved.

Zhu Di also killed people, especially officials.

The reason why he didn't get the reputation of brutality is because the officials killed by Zhu Di had sufficient evidence to prove that they were corrupt and accepted bribes.

After all, His Majesty has now decreed that any corruption will no longer be limited by silver taels and will be executed directly.

It is for this reason that it is impossible for literati to attack Zhu Di with this matter, and they can only say that it was a good kill.

Yet this is not the end.

Zhu Di returned to the mansion, and was about to discuss countermeasures with Yao Guangxiao.

I saw that the yard seemed a little messy.

"Hurry up, how decent is it?" Zhu Di scolded, and many servants dared not move at once.

Zhu Gaochi heard about this and rushed over.

Seeing the eldest son, Zhu Di also noticed that something was wrong in the mansion, so he asked directly, "Tell me, what happened in the mansion."

When Zhu Gaochi saw his father, he hurried over and said, "Father, not long ago, Jin Yiwei brought the imperial grandfather's decree, summoning Master Daoyan to enter the Tianjie Temple immediately to take care of the Sutra Pavilion."

"Master Daoyan didn't even have time to pack his bags, so he was taken away by Jin Yiwei. Thinking about it, he has already arrived at Tianjie Temple."

Of course Zhu Gaochi knew the importance of Yao Guangxiao to his father, and wanted to delay time in the name of the emperor's grandson.

However, Jin Yiwei didn't give any face, and directly took out His Majesty's decree.

In front of the decree, Zhu Gaochi dared not stop him, he could only watch Yao Guangxiao being taken away.

Before leaving, Yao Guangxiao still wanted to say a few words, but Jin Yiwei sternly stopped him, obviously he was given an explanation.

"what!"

Zhu Di let out a loud shout.

In just an instant, Zhu Di thought of who came up with this idea and directly broke his arm.

"What a big nephew, you are really ruthless. This king really underestimated you."

Zhu Di's expression, which was about to be furious, dissipated in the next instant and calmed down.

Whenever there is a calmness in major events, Zhu Di is naturally not a simple person in the city to be able to achieve today's achievements.

As a monk, Yao Guangxiao was very low-key.

Neither the father nor the third elder brother paid much attention to Yao Guangxiao.

The only one who knows better is Zhu Ying.

Zhu Di just didn't expect that Zhu Ying's counterattack would come so quickly, directly through his father, to draw Dao Yan away.

The steward of the Sutra Pavilion in Tianjie Temple sounds pretty good.

But Jin Yiwei forcibly took him away and took office, and didn't even give him a chance to meet him at the end. The meaning of this is very obvious.

After a little hesitation, Zhu Di turned around and went out.

He wants to go to the Tianjie Temple himself.

Not only because Yao Guangxiao played a very important role as a think tank for him, but as the key.

Yao Guangxiao was basically in charge of the secret line on the capital's side, because he didn't come forward.

Temple of Heaven.

It is located in the outer city of the capital, about a dozen miles away.

The land here is wide and deep, with 36 nunneries, the West Pavilion, the bell tower, etc. It has both the tranquility of natural mountains and forests and the splendor of murals.

Zhu Yuanzhang had become a monk in Huangjue Temple in Fengyang in his early years. After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, he inevitably took good care of the monks and temples, and treated Tianjie Temple with special respect.

In order to manage the world's monks and Taoists, Zhu Yuanzhang set up the Senglu Department under the Ministry of Rites to manage the world's monks and temples, and set up the Daolu Department to manage the world's Taoist temples.The Daolu Department is located in Chaotian Palace, while the Senglu Department is located in Tianjie Temple.

Senglusi is the official sixth-rank yamen, where eminent monks gather. In other words, Tianjie Temple is the government that manages Buddhism on behalf of the royal family.

Some people call Tianjie Temple the number one Buddhist monastery today, but that is not an exaggeration.

Even when foreign envoys come to pay tribute, they first have to familiarize themselves with the court rituals at Tianjie Temple, and finally they can choose a date to meet.

The steward of the Sutra Pavilion in Tianjie Temple is also a monk official who is serious about the Eight Classics.

Compared with Yao Guangxiao being the host of Qingshou Temple, in terms of status, it is actually a promotion, although this is not what Yao Guangxiao wants.

"Master Daoyan!"

"Master Daoyan!"

"Master Daoyan!".
Yao Guangxiao is still very famous in Tianjie Temple. Accompanied by Jin Yiwei along the way, they are all monks who put their hands together and say hello.

Some monks were even envious, and they were able to get Jin Yiwei to come to Tianjie Temple. It is obvious that Master Daoyan is doing better.

There is naturally more than one scripture pavilion in Tianjie Temple.

Yao Guangxiao went deep all the way, looking at the dilapidated hut in front of him, with a wry smile on his face.

He had stayed in Tianjie Temple for two years, but he didn't know there was such a place.

It may have taken a lot of thought to find this remote cabin.

No wonder when he came, none of the monks and officials he was familiar with in Tianjie Temple showed up, presumably to avoid suspicion.

"Master Daoyan, this is here. Although it is a bit messy, it is enough to keep out the wind and rain after tidying up. Master Lao Daoyan will take care of it in the future."

Among the two Jin Yiwei who came with him, one of them said to Yao Guangxiao with a smile.

Only then did Yao Guangxiao come to his senses, and asked, "The two younger brothers also live here with the poor monk?"

Jin Yiwei, who had spoken earlier, replied, "Yes, I will live with the master in the next month after I receive orders from Shangfeng."

"If the master has anything to do, just tell our two brothers, this Tianjie Temple is very big, don't bother the master to run around."

Hearing this, Yao Guangxiao understood.

These two people were clearly spying on themselves, saying that they were hung up as a monk official in charge of the Sutra Pavilion, but in fact it was no different from confinement.

But hearing Jin Yiwei say one month, Yao Guangxiao still asked: "The two little brothers are only here for one month."

"Master, don't worry." Jin Yiwei said with a smile:

"After I wait for my brother to leave, someone will naturally come over to take over."

Yao Guangxiao was speechless for a moment, it was still taking turns to play, and he knew in his heart that he was afraid that he would communicate with Jin Yiwei, that's why he made such an arrangement.

While thinking about it, the two Jin Yiwei didn't talk nonsense and began to tidy up the house.

After all, this house has been abandoned for a long time, and it needs to be tidied up before it can be moved in.

It was already afternoon, and the sun was just right.

Yao Guangxiao stood where he was, wearing a black monk's robe, watching the two Jinyi guards work.

It stands to reason that Yao Guangxiao at this moment should be in a sad state of mind.

After all, for him, it was a waste of all his previous efforts to come here.

However, Yao Guangxiao, who was standing in the sunlight, frowned and thought for a while, but suddenly the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

Although he might be cut off from King Yan Zhu Di because of this, Yao Guangxiao has never been loyal to King Yan.

"Since His Highness Changsun chose to imprison the poor monk here instead of directly executing him, I think the poor monk should have a bright future after His Highness Changsun takes control of the overall situation."
