Comprehensive Wu Daming, starting from the descendants of Yitian

Chapter 30 Princess Changning
After listening to Emperor Hongwu's admonition, Zhu Yunqi said: "Grandfather, since the vassals are of high status and have heavy troops, it is safer to weaken the power of the vassals than to restrict the people in the martial arts."

Zhu Yunwen's words made Emperor Hongwu a little displeased, saying:

"Yun Wen, this statement is wrong.

I entrust the great task of resisting the Hulu to the kings, so that the border will not be chaotic, and I will leave you with peace.Once the power of the vassal king is weakened and the barbarians make chaos, who can resist? Outsiders are not as safe as family members.Remember, we must cherish it with virtue and rule it with etiquette. If it is not possible, it will cut down its land, if it is not possible, it will change its people, and if it is worse, it will be attacked by troops.

Especially your four emperor uncle Yan Wang Zhu Di, the Beiping he guarded is the northern gate of Ming Dynasty. Once it is lost, the gate of the country will be opened wide.And it cannot be easily cut down, otherwise, there will be endless troubles.

Yun Wen, you must remember what I told you. "

Seeing Emperor Hongwu's serious face, knowing that his grandfather was dissatisfied with him, Zhu Yunwen hurriedly said: "Grandfather, Yunwen will keep your admonition in mind, and will never cut down the vassal easily if it is absolutely necessary, let alone treat the four The emperor's uncle cut down the feudal clan."

Seeing the sincerity of Zhu Yunxuan who was kneeling under the case, Emperor Hongwu nodded and said: "It's clear, that's good, you go down first."

After finishing speaking, I picked up the memorial and began to review it.

……

Peking, Qingshou Temple.

It was the first and fifteenth day of each month when King Zhudi of Yan went to Qingshou Temple to offer incense. Unlike the past, this time, he also brought his little daughter Princess Changning with him.

Tomorrow is the day Princess Changning goes to Nanjing.As his most beloved daughter, Chang Ning went to Nanjing to study with the emperor's grandson. Apart from reluctance, King Yan also felt a little guilty.

It sounds nice to go to Nanjing to accompany him to study, but in fact he is kept as a hostage in the palace.

Originally, it should be his eldest son Zhu Gaochi who went to Nanjing to study with him.However, before the imperial decree arrived, the eminent monk Daoyan of Qingshou Temple suggested to King Yan that he transfer his son to the frontier to guard the frontier, the farther the better.Regarding the mysteries of the eminent monk Daoyan, King Yan always listened and supplemented, never asking why.Now it seems that the words of the eminent monk Daoyan have been hit again.

When the imperial decree arrived, Zhu Gaochi was not in Beiping, but was far away on the border of Outer Mongolia; his second son Zhu Gaoxu was not in Beiping, but was far away in the ancient roads of the Western Regions.

Therefore, he reported to the Holy Master whether he could be replaced by others.In the end, Emperor Hongwu ordered Princess Changning, the daughter of King Yan, to come to Nanjing instead of her two elder brothers to accompany the emperor and grandson to study.

Apart from the fact that Princess Changning and the grandson Zhu Yunqi are about the same age, which is good for accompanying them, Princess Changning and Zhu Yunqi grew up together when they were young, and they are like-minded playmates.Compared with the other children who went to Nanjing, King Yan was more at ease in letting Princess Changning go.

However, King Yan knows better than anyone else about his little daughter.

From the day she became sensible, Princess Changning didn't like red clothes and arms, but only liked to wield knives and swords.

There is no master who can teach martial arts in the Palace of King Yan, so Princess Changning asked the eunuch of King Yan's Palace to teach her martial arts.Chang Hai, the chief eunuch, couldn't help her entanglement. Under the instruction of King Yan, he improved his self-created Sunflower Collection of martial arts, and taught Princess Changning a set of swordsmanship suitable for women to practice.

With the guidance of a famous teacher, Princess Changning has practiced constantly since then. She is talented and intelligent, and her swordsmanship is improving every day.At the age of fourteen, except for Chang Hai, the head eunuch, and San Bao, the personal eunuch of King Yan, no one else is her opponent.

Because of this, King Yan decided to send Princess Changning to Nanjing, also because of her strong martial arts, and the reason why she can still protect herself in critical times.

However, this little girl was too unstable, King Yan was also afraid that something would happen if she went to Nanjing, so before leaving, he brought her to Qingshou Temple and let the eminent monk Daoyan give some advice, hoping that she would be able to take care of herself.

Of course, to King Yan, Dao Yan is by no means as simple as an eminent monk outside the world.Whenever I encountered a problem, I would look to him for advice.

This time is no exception.

After Emperor Hongwu canonized the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunqi as the crown prince, the last thought of proclaiming himself emperor in King Yan's heart was also annihilated.Apart from the crown prince Zhu Biao, among the princes of Emperor Hongwu, King Yan claimed to be unmatched in martial arts skills, and besides his eldest brother, he was the prince most recognized by his father.

When the Crown Prince Zhu Biao was around, the King of Yan didn't even have the slightest intention of being an emperor. He just wanted to help his elder brother wholeheartedly and be a prince of peace.

Unexpectedly, the crown prince died early.In addition to being sad, I also had a little thought.Will his own father enshrine himself as the crown prince, inheriting the vast lands and rivers of the Ming Dynasty?In that case, one's own ambition can be realized.

To his disappointment, after making a decision, Emperor Hongwu still did not confer the title of King Yan as the prince, but conferred the title of emperor's grandson Zhu Yunqi as the crown prince.

What surprised King Yan even more was that not long after he returned to Beiping, Emperor Hongwu ordered his son to go to Nanjing to accompany the prince to study.

Fortunately, monk Daoyan gave him advice in advance.His son went to the frontier ahead of time, and was unable to go to Nanjing for a short time, so he was replaced by Princess Changning.

With such an accident, King Yan felt that it was necessary for him to meet with the eminent monk Daoyan and ask him to help him make suggestions.

……

Qingshou Temple, the main hall.

After King Yan and Princess Changning knelt down and offered incense, King Yan led Princess Changning into the backyard alone.

It was the first time Princess Changning entered the backyard of the temple. Looking around, she felt novelty everywhere.She said softly: "Father, the important place of Buddhism, women should not come here, why did you bring Chang Ning here?"

Looking at the young but beautiful and bright daughter beside him, King Yan said: "Chang Ning, you are going to Nanjing tomorrow. Nanjing is not like Beiping, and the Forbidden City is not Yanwang's mansion. You have disobeyed discipline since you were young and often caused troubles. You go to see the eminent monk Daoyan and let him enlighten you, so as not to suffer there."

Hearing his father's words, Chang Ning raised his mouth and said, "Father, you underestimate Chang Ning too much. Don't think I like to dance swords and swords. I know how to be cautious in words and deeds. stir up trouble."

After King Yan heard this, he shook his head, "You, I don't worry. The whole Palace of King Yan is a mess. I'm afraid you will cause trouble when you arrive at the palace. This time you go to Nanjing, I decided to let Sanbao follow you , take care of your daily life."

"Father, the Three Treasures are your personal attendants, always protecting your safety. He is gone, who will protect your safety? This is absolutely impossible.

Father, you don't have to worry about me, I'm not a child, I know what to do and what not to do.Furthermore, my martial arts are not inferior to the Three Jewels, and ordinary people cannot bully me. "

Chang Ning certainly understood that his father was afraid that he would cause trouble.However, if Sanbao is by his side, he will restrain himself everywhere, which is very annoying.Although Sanbao is only a domestic slave, he is very dignified. Chang Ning is somewhat afraid of him, so it is better not to follow her.

Thinking of this, Princess Changning went on to say:

"Father, brother Huangsun and I have known each other since childhood. He will not be mean to me and will take care of me."

"No, I don't worry if you don't have my people by your side. You don't need to argue anymore. Tomorrow, Sambo will leave for Nanjing with you." King Yan said firmly.

"Yes, father." Princess Changning knew that if her father made a decision, no one could change it except the emperor's grandfather.Even if you don't want to, you have to agree.

……

Monk Daoyan's meditation room was at the northernmost point of Qingshou Temple. King Yan took Princess Changning through a small path and a long corridor before arriving.

The door of the meditation room was ajar, and King Yan pushed the door open.

The eminent monk Daoyan in the meditation room was meditating. Hearing the sound of the meditation room, he opened his eyes and saw King Yan walking in with a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl. Dao Yan is rude."

"Eminent monk Daoyan, no courtesy." King Yan supported Daoyan's arm with both hands, and said.

Dao Yan straightened up, looked at the girl beside King Yan, and asked, "Who is this?"

King Yan said: "Eminent monk Daoyan, this is my little girl, Princess Changning. Princess Changning has been stubborn since she was a child, and she is not restrained. Tomorrow, she will leave for Nanjing to accompany the prince to study. I hope that the eminent monk Daoyan will give some hints, so that Chang Ning's little girl is less likely to cause trouble."

"Eminent Monk Daoyan, Chang Ning is polite." As soon as King Yan finished speaking, Princess Chang Ning bowed.

Seeing this, Dao Yan hurriedly said: "The princess is a golden branch and jade leaf. How can you give such a heavy gift to the old monk? It's a sin, a sin."

"It doesn't matter, I asked Chang Ning to come here just to listen to your advice, and it is also appropriate to salute." King Yan said.

After listening to King Yan's words, Dao Yan looked up and down the not yet fully grown Princess Changning in front of him.I saw her beautiful face, with a sharp chin, pale and greasy complexion, just like her back, smooth and crystal clear, with a small cherry mouth that is neat and straight, with clear and moist lips, and two rows of thin teeth that are like broken jade.Because he was born in the palace since he was a child, even though he was young, he naturally had a dignified look on his face.

After sizing it up, Dao Yan bowed and put his palms together and said to King Yan, "Congratulations to King Yan, congratulations to King Yan."

"Eminent monk Daoyan, why do you like it?" King Yan asked puzzled.

"King Yan, the secret must not be revealed. In short, Princess Changning is the face of Fulu, and he will definitely help King Yan fulfill his wish." Dao Yan responded.

After listening to Daoyan's words, King Yan nodded and said, "Then let the eminent monk Daoyan say auspicious words. Chang Ning, you go outside the meditation room and wait for your father. I have an important discussion about Zen with the eminent monk Daoyan."

"Yes, father, Chang Ning is waiting outside the meditation room. Monk Daoyan, Chang Ning bids farewell." After saluting Daoyan, Chang Ning left the meditation room.

After Princess Changning left the meditation room, King Yan and Monk Daoyan entered the inner room.

After closing the door of the inner room, the two of them sat down. King Yan said: "Eminent Monk Daoyan, I'm here today. I have one more thing to ask besides enlightening Changning's little girl."

"King Yan, please speak."

"The Crown Prince has been appointed, what will happen next?" King Yan asked in a low voice.

Dao Yan didn't speak immediately, but closed his eyes tightly, and after touching the Buddha, he said: "If you are here, don't move. If you are not here, please move."

After hearing Dao Yan's words, King Yan seemed to understand the deep meaning of the words, and said again: "Don't move? What do you mean? You are here, so I won't do anything?"

Dao Yan shook his head after hearing this, and said, "No, if you don't do anything, that's just waiting to die."

"Then don't move, what do you mean?" King Yan asked.

"Since ancient times, there has been a Taoism, and it is the court of the rivers and lakes.

The crown prince has made a decision that he must not be above the court, cause troubles, and bring about the disaster of killing himself.However, the rivers and lakes are far away, and those who win the rivers and lakes win the world. "

"Whoever wins the rivers and lakes wins the world? How to win the rivers and lakes?"

"Before, I only thought of this sentence, but I couldn't see the clue, and I couldn't think of the deep meaning in the sentence.

Until today, when I saw Princess Changning, I knew that the one who won the rivers and lakes must be the King of Yan. "

"Chang Ning? What does this have to do with the little girl Chang Ning?" King Yan was even more puzzled.

Hearing King Yan's question, the eminent monk Daoyan closed his eyes tightly again, and muttered, "King Yan, the way of heaven dictates it, and the secrets of heaven must not be revealed."

"Then, can you give me some pointers?"

Dao Yan slowly opened his eyes, and said in a low voice: "There is no limit to success, and there is no limit to failure. The poor monk can only go as far as he can."

Seeing Dao Yan's answer in this way, King Yan knew that he couldn't ask any more questions.Once the secret is leaked, it will be punished by heaven.

So he said: "Eminent Monk Daoyan, Xiao Wang knows about it. Tomorrow my daughter will leave for Nanjing, so I won't stop here any longer."

"King Yan, the poor monk is not far away." After speaking, Dao Yan stood up, bowed and clapped his hands together.

……

Leaving Qingshou Temple and sitting in the carriage, even though he was accompanied by his beloved daughter, King Yan was always thinking about the deep meaning of "success and failure" said by the eminent monk Daoyan.

Literally speaking, "Wuji" means not getting sick, and "Cheng Ye Wuji" is easy to understand. As long as people are there, opportunities will exist. If people are not there, even the best opportunities will disappear. Just like my brother Huang Prince Zhu Biao.

But "Bao Ye Wu Ji" thought about it all the way, but he couldn't figure out why.Princess Changning saw that the father was silent all the way, so he asked: "Father, you have been serious all the way, is there something Chang Ning has annoyed you again?"

Hearing Chang Ning's question, King Yan recovered from his reverie, and said, "Chang Ning, since the day you became sensible, accidents have continued, and my father has become accustomed to them. I mean, you will leave King Yan's mansion for Nanjing tomorrow. Father Wang may not be used to the prince's mansion being quiet all of a sudden."

"Father, the child has already realized his mistake. From now on, he must abide by women's virtues, and there will be no more trouble." Princess Changning swallowed her tongue and said.

"You, how can you make people feel at ease with your strange appearance. Chang Ning, I heard from Chang Hai that your current sword skills are no longer inferior to the Three Jewels. Is there such a thing?" Yan Wang asked.

"Father, it was given to me by the Three Treasures. The Three Treasures practiced the Sunflower Canon with Director Chang Hai since he was a child, and he is two years older than me. How can I compare.

Within 14 strokes, Sanbao and I can still attack and defend each other, within [-] strokes, we can still protect ourselves, after [-] strokes, I am no longer the opponent of Sanbao.After all, I'm only [-] years old, and I'm still a girl, and my internal strength can't support the subtlety of my moves for a long time. "Chang Ning said emphatically.

After hearing Chang Ning's words, King Yan asked with great interest:

"The last time I took Sanbao to Nanjing, Sanbao had a sword competition with Shen Jianping Qianhu of Jinyiwei. I remember very clearly that Sanbao subdued him without using a hundred moves. According to what you say, your martial arts are already higher than Jinyiwei. Thousand households?"

Princess Changning thought for a while, and said: "If a thousand households of Jinyiwei can't match a hundred strokes of the three treasures, it stands to reason that the level of martial arts cultivation is lower than mine. However, in the journey of martial arts, life and death often restrain each other. It's not that I'm better than you. If you are better than him, I must be better than him.

How advanced my martial arts is now, after all, I haven't tried it with anyone other than the Three Treasures, so I can't say for sure. "

"Chang Ning, you are a girl, you can just practice martial arts to strengthen your body, do you really want to achieve something in martial arts?" King Yan shook his head.

"Father, why not.

I heard that the Emei Sect among the three sects in the Central Plains is the female head. One day, I will definitely go to Emei to compete with her.If I really win, I will also create a sect and live the addiction of being the master. " Princess Changning said in a pretty voice.
