I'm only seven years old, Lao Zhu, you let me supervise the country?

Chapter 84 Maybe one day, my life depends on you

Temple of Heaven.

Daoyan sat cross-legged in front of the Buddha, holding a string of rosary beads in his hand, turning them around, closing his eyes and reciting Buddhist sutras.

Speaking of which, Daoyan is actually a very ungrateful monk.

When I became a monk at the age of 14, I fled to the temple entirely because I was too poor to eat.

Not long after his tonsure, he became a disciple of Taoist priest Xi Yingzhen and learned the art of yin and yang.

Buddhist scriptures and all that have been thrown away long ago.

I also spent a lot of time studying Confucian classics such as the Four Books and Five Classics.

In fact, in Dao Yan's heart, most of the Buddhist scriptures don't take it seriously.

But having said that, if any monk really wants to challenge him to see who has mastered more Buddhist scriptures and who has a deeper understanding of Buddhism, 90.00% of the time, Daoyan will rub him on the ground.

After all, Dao Yan has really read a lot of books, covering all three schools of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism.

Even if he doesn't like Buddhist scriptures, the Buddhist scriptures he has read still surpass those of most monks.

Not to mention that he has extraordinary understanding, and his understanding of scriptures is far beyond that of ordinary monks.

Apart from him, there was no one else in the temple.

Empty and quiet.

A man who looked like a pilgrim came in from outside and walked to the Buddha statue to worship.

Then he leaned over to Dao Yan and said softly: "Master!"

Dao Yan's chanting suddenly stopped, he opened his slightly closed eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"

This person is naturally a spy left by King Yan in the city, and now he is under Dao Yan's command.

"Your Majesty has just decreed that in accordance with the will of heaven and the will of the people, the four emperors' grandsons will be the emperor's grandsons."

"what?"

Dao Yan exclaimed and lost his voice, no longer calm and calm before.

The spy said: "Today, in the court hall, the common people presented letters from all the people, the students collectively petitioned, the sergeants expressed their feelings, and all the civil and military officials all asked for Nan Wang to be the crown prince. There was a great momentum, and His Majesty has already agreed."

"Right now, gongs and drums are ringing in the city of Jinling, and the common people are celebrating in the streets."

Dao Yan listened carefully, and sure enough, he faintly heard the sound of beating gongs and drums.

He rinsed the ground, stood up, and quickly walked up the stairs next to him. He climbed up the stairs until he reached the top of the tall building and looked out from afar.

really.

I saw huge crowds of people on the streets, countless people singing and dancing, celebrating.

No wonder the people were so happy.

Since ancient times, it has never happened that the people have submitted letters to elect a prince.

Now, Zhu Yuanzhang really decreed to make Zhu Yunxuan the emperor's grandson.

Every citizen who participated in the petition immediately felt that they were so honored and so awesome.

I am the one who will elect the future emperor. Isn’t that awesome enough?

No one dares to be disrespectful when talking to others in the future.

If you elect the future emperor, can't you brag about your awesomeness for the rest of your life?
Even those who didn't write a letter, but only talked about it orally, were all elated.

It seems that Zhu Yunxi has made a lot of contributions to being able to become the crown prince.

Crown Prince, that is the future emperor.

With the support of "us", it was born!

Who doesn't feel proud?

Who wouldn't be proud?

At this time, almost all the people in Jinling City took to the streets.

The entire Jinling City turned into a sea of ​​celebration.

This situation is much more lively than the Spring Festival.

Dao Yan took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.

At this moment, how can he not understand that all forces, including himself, have been tricked by Lao Zhu.

From beginning to end, this was Lao Zhubu's game, just waiting for them to jump in.

The king of the south is king when facing the south.

When Lao Zhu used this name for the canonization, he thought of the next step, so he used this name for the canonization.

It is to let the world misunderstand, let everyone understand his intentions, and let the opponents stir up trouble.

Imperial means!

Lift it high, put it down gently, strategize, everything is under control.

Including him, all forces were "deceived".

Invisibly boosted.

In front of Daoyan's eyes, Zhu Yunzhen's figure slowly appeared again.

That figure was young and short of description.

Zhu Yunzhen's identity was originally very embarrassing.

Neither heir nor elder, ranked fourth.

On the way to fight for the reserve, it can even be said that he is not as dominant as King Yan.

Until then, no one will notice the young child.

But since Zhu Biao died, Zhu Yunxian appeared in front of people, and his performance was very amazing.

Poetry, strategy, ambition...

Almost perfect in every way.

He planned for a long time, but in the end he couldn't help King Yan win the throne.

But Zhu Yunxi...

In a blink of an eye, he was already the grandson of the emperor.

It was not an easy task for Lao Zhu to establish Zhu Yunxuan as the crown prince.

But this plan made him become the lord of the world, the position of heir prince, which was a matter of course.

Not only that, but he also gained unparalleled prestige.

Dao Yan thought silently, reflecting on his mistakes.

Is there really someone behind Zhu Yunxi?

If not, then this son's evildoer is really too much.

Daoyan thinks very highly of himself and thinks he is no weaker than anyone in the world.

But now when I think about what happened to Zhu Yunzhen, the more I think about it, the more I feel that he is too terrifying.

"With this person here, it will be difficult for King Yan to conquer the world."

He thought about it and came to such a conclusion.

"The most urgent thing is to find out his details completely."

"But I tried it twice, but I didn't see the depth."

He thought about it, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Come here, summon the horse and come see me."

Daoyan gave an order.

Someone went in the dark immediately.

After a while, Ma He arrived.

He was left in Jinling City and has been living near Tianjie Temple.

"Master, what are your orders?"

Ma Hegong asked.

After Zhu Di left, Dao Yan was the person in charge, including Ma He, everyone left behind by Zhu Di was under Dao Yan's command.

Dao Yan looked at him and said, "Your Majesty has decreed that His Highness Nan Wang will be the grandson of the Emperor, you must know that too?"

Ma He nodded.

No one in Jinling City knew about this matter, no one knew about it, of course he knew.

Dao Yan said: "That day when the emperor was hunting, when the grandson was shooting an arrow, he almost fell off his horse. Fortunately, you had quick eyesight and quick hands, so you helped him up."

Ma He was startled slightly.

Of course he remembered what happened that day.

But in Ma He's view, this is his duty and duty.

Why did Dao Yan specifically mention it at this moment?
Could it be that he blamed himself for not saving him?

If he hadn't shot at that time, Zhu Yunxi would have fallen off the horse, and he might have been seriously injured, and even his hands and feet might have been broken.

Of course, Daming may appoint a disabled person as the heir apparent.

In that case, Zhu Yunxi would not be able to become the grandson of the emperor.

The more Ma He thought about it, the more he felt that this might be the reason. Is Dao Yan going to ask himself to blame?

He suddenly felt uneasy.

But after thinking about it, I felt that I had done nothing wrong.

King Yan had an order asking him to take care of the four emperors' grandchildren, but he was just doing his duty.

What's wrong?

Besides, he couldn't just watch Zhu Yunxuan fall off his horse and stand idly by!
This is against his heart.

That’s right to save people!

With this in mind, Ma He firmly looked at Dao Yan.

Dao Yan smiled and said: "The poor monk observes the words and deeds, the emperor's grandson's attitude towards you seems to be quite unusual, he respects you very much, and has the intention of wooing you."

When Zhu Yunxuan saw Ma He that day, he naturally thought that he was the best candidate for an embassy to the West, so he couldn't help but look at him differently.

In fact, what Zhu Yunxuan did was not very obvious.

Even the horse and himself didn't notice anything wrong.

I just felt that the Fourth Emperor and his grandson were extremely polite.

Gentle and gentle, with the air of a gentleman.

But in the eyes of a person like Dao Yan, it is completely different.

"My subordinates did not realize that the Emperor Taisun had this intention."

Ma He thought about it carefully and shook his head.

"He behaves very covertly, but the poor monk will definitely not be mistaken."

Dao Yan is very confident in this.

Zhu Yunxi is indeed evil, with extraordinary strategies and talents.

He showed a very high level of dealing with others.

But if he couldn't see this in front of himself, then he would be called a "demon monk" in vain.

"Although he has been established as the grandson of the emperor and has an unparalleled reputation, his power is extremely weak and he has almost no one available to him."

Dao Yan saw it clearly.

Behind Zhu Yunwen stood the civil service group.

Behind Zhu Yunxi were the noble generals of the Manchu Dynasty.

Only Zhu Yunxi was alone, without any support from any forces.

All he has is Lao Zhu's favor and his extraordinary talents.

If he were only the King of the South, that would be enough.

But as the grandson of the emperor, it is far from enough to be in charge of the government and inherit the great rule.

He needs to cultivate his own direct lineage.

But right now, there is only one Xu Miaojin beside Zhu Yunzhen.

Although she has the background of the daughter of the king of Zhongshan County, she is an eleven or twelve-year-old girl, so what is the use?
"The poor monk wants you to join the emperor's grandson, are you willing?" Dao Yan asked.

Ma He was shocked when he heard the words, and immediately knelt down: "This subordinate is fortunate to have the kindness of His Royal Highness King Yan, and will never dare to betray King Yan."

"Although the emperor's grandson is the crown prince, Ma He is by no means an ungrateful person who only knows how to climb high."

Dao Yan laughed out loud.

"The poor monk knows your loyalty to King Yan, otherwise, I would not assign this task to you."

"The humble monk asked you to lurk next to the emperor's grandson, find out all about his situation, and report back to King Yan. This is your greatest loyalty to King Yan."

As he spoke, he reached out and patted Ma He's shoulder, who was still kneeling before he got up.

"Latent?" The horse and body shook violently.

Unexpectedly, Dao Yan would give him such a task.

"Not bad!" Dao Yan nodded.

"The emperor's grandson is only seven years old, and he has such abilities. Is there any expert behind him?"

"Right now we don't know, let alone how to deal with it."

"Only if you go to him and do things for him can you find out."

Ma He lowered his head and said after a long while, "Your subordinate obeys!"

"En!" Dao Yan responded, did not stay any longer, walked a few steps, and was about to leave, but suddenly turned his head.

He sighed softly: "Although you are going to lurk next to him, you must do your best to serve the emperor's grandson."

"Perhaps, one day, the wealth and life of King Yan and I will depend on you."

Although his voice is soft, his words are not soft, and when he exhales, he is filled with emotions.

Ma He was stunned for a moment, and looked up at Dao Yan.

For a while, I don't know how to reply.

Dao Yan didn't say much anymore, and left in a hurry.
