Rebirth of Zhu Di's son

Chapter 73 The Troubles over the Establishment of the Chu Chu ([-])

Taoist Qingxuan was indeed a ruthless man. He quickly regained his composure, stroked the BMW with its head down, and said, "You ask."

"Does the death of King Qin have anything to do with you?" Monk Daoyan asked in a low voice.

Even though Taoist Qingxuan had experienced life and death, he still looked stern when faced with Monk Daoyan's words.

"The death of King Qin has nothing to do with me!"

He had a bitter look on his face and didn't dare to say anything else. Just because Monk Daoyan could say this, he must have known something, and he couldn't hide it.

"Junior brother, now that things have come to this, why do you have to hide anything anymore?" Monk Daoyan lowered his head and stared at Taoist Qingxuan and said coldly.

Taoist Qingxuan lowered his head to look at his toes, his face was like a daisy, and he said bitterly: "The persecution of the palace officials was certainly to blame for the death of King Qin, but I also contributed to it. It was I who promised to protect their families from being massacred. Only then did they make up their mind to poison King Qin."

"Conspiracy to kill the prince is a crime of conspiracy, and the crime is the same as the Yi tribe!" Monk Daoyan sighed: "Junior brother is confused!"

Since ancient times, Qin and Jin have been close neighbors. The fiefdom of Qin King Zhu Xi was very close to the fiefdom of Jin King Zhu Fan. Monk Daoyan suspected that Taoist Qingxuan was related to the death of King Qin, and it was not a random guess.

Taoist Qingxuan knew that the matter was exposed, so he risked his life and said without hesitation: "Am I confused? The King of Qin did all kinds of bad things. He was so angry that he forced the palace people to drink urine and eat feces. How could he inherit the throne? It's so ridiculous! More What’s more, I didn’t directly murder King Qin! Don’t slander him!”

After a pause, he said slowly: "I'm not sad that you let people disfigure my face. In recent years, my old injuries have recurred frequently, and I'm afraid I don't have a few more years to live."

Looking at Taoist Qingxuan, whose temples were turning white, Monk Daoyan said in a gentle tone: "Killing the prince is a serious crime of treason. You will live here for the time being. Just in case, you'd better wear a mask!"

After saying this, Monk Daoyan suddenly turned around and was about to leave this place.

Seeing this, Taoist Qingxuan asked quickly: "Didn't you promise me just now that as long as I answer your questions truthfully, you would ensure that I appear in the eyes of the world openly and honestly?"

Monk Dao Yan turned around and said: "His Royal Highness, Crown Prince Yan, entered the capital on the second day of this month, a few days before you, so the Crown Prince should have received the news that you were eaten by a wild beast. Therefore, you can get acquainted with the Crown Prince again under your new identity. With your ability, it is not difficult to stand out under the Crown Prince."

"Your Majesty is very talented and capable in both civil and military affairs. How can I help?" Taoist Qingxuan asked in confusion.

Monk Dao Yan said: "Now some officials have proposed to establish the crown prince, and many ministers in the court support the current eldest son as the crown prince."

"What do you mean, you want me to help the crown prince win the throne?" Taoist Qingxuan said in surprise.

Seeing that Monk Daoyan was silent, Taoist Qingxuan changed the topic and said: "Emperor Hongwu decided to follow Zong Zhou's example and renamed the kings outside China, and issued an edict to the public, requiring the kings to come to Beijing to worship. Now Emperor Hongwu After his death and the new emperor succeeding to the throne, can this matter still be accomplished? How does the new emperor plan to deal with the change of title? The original Jin King Zhu Fan treated me well, but how will the new emperor deal with his descendants? "

"As a minister, I naturally serve the king. How can I disobey the king? Whatever I do now, I will naturally carry out the order. If you don't want to make plans for the prince, then I will find another way to deal with it!"

Monk Dao Yan showed determination and did not look back.

Taoist Qingxuan sighed helplessly, looked at the lake in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "Senior brother, you have benevolence and righteousness in your heart, I know. But seizing the rightful son is a matter of life and death. There are some things that you cannot and cannot do, but there is always someone to do it. Do!"

"In that case, then you just wait here, and I will find a way to arrange for the prince to meet you."

After Monk Daoyan finished speaking, he turned around and left.

At the back gate of the Forbidden Garden, Ma He, who was accepted as a disciple by Monk Daoyan last year, has been waiting here for a long time.

After he entered the capital, he came to Tianjie Temple to serve Monk Daoyan on the order of Zhu Gaoxu, which was another form of protection for his master.

When Ma He saw Monk Daoyan coming out, he immediately went up to greet him, bowed and said, "Master, I have something to report."

Monk Dao Yan nodded lightly.

Ma He then said: "According to the master's instructions, my disciple recently deployed spies around the forbidden courtyard and caught three monks who were acting suspiciously."

"Do you have anything to offer?" Monk Daoyan asked solemnly.

Ma He replied: "My disciple has investigated these three people. Their ancestors have been ordinary farmers for several generations. They usually have no bad habits, but they would rather die than reveal the mastermind behind the scenes." Monk Daoyan stared at Ma He and pondered. Said: "What do you think?"

"Since they are unwilling to speak, it can be seen that they are being coerced. Master may be kind and spare them for once." Ma He said respectfully.

"If you deal with me this way, some people will think that I am easy to bully! According to my wishes, I will cut off my hands, cut my tongue, and be expelled from the temple!"

Hearing this, Ma He felt as if he was meeting Monk Daoyan for the first time. He had never known that the old monk in front of him had such a ferocious side.

He quickly said warmly: "Master often instructs his disciples: 'Be lenient to others and be strict with yourself.' If Master does this, Your Majesty will be unhappy when he learns about it?"

Monk Dao Yan said coldly: "Hmph! The world is unkind and treats all things as stupid dogs. It is righteousness not to kill them. In addition, you should go and secretly investigate their entry into the temple. As a teacher, you need to know who in the temple has something to do with them." Intersection.”

"Disciple has an order."

Ma He bowed and retreated, led several guards and walked away quickly, and began to carry out the orders of Monk Dao Yan.

Monk Daoyan was silent for a moment, then turned and shouted to a guard in the distance: "Come here and help me get on the horse."

The guard was wondering why the old monk, who rarely rode a horse, was so interested. He just set off to come, but saw Monk Daoyan get on the horse first. When he came to the left side of the horse, Monk Daoyan turned towards the right side of the horse. He leaned sideways and fell down.

"Grandmaster!"

Several guards on the side suddenly turned pale with fear and quickly stepped forward to help Monk Daoyan who fell to the ground.

After half an hour.

The study room in the backyard of King Yan's mansion.

Ma He hurriedly found Zhu Gaoxu, the Crown Prince of Yan, bowed and said, "Your Highness, your master has just accidentally fallen off his horse and injured his right arm."

"I asked you to lead people to protect the master, how could this happen?"

Zhu Gaoxu was feeling annoyed about the turmoil over the throne. When he suddenly heard the news, he asked with a hint of anger.

Ma He immediately knelt down, lowered his head and said, "It's all because of my poor care."

Zhu Gaoxu thought about it again and found that this matter was weird.

He knew that Monk Daoyan usually traveled in a sedan chair and rarely rode a horse. In the past few years, he had lived in Tianjie Temple, and there was no need to ride a horse.

"Can you report this to my father?" Zhu Gaoxu asked.

Ma He replied respectfully: "I haven't had time to report it to Your Majesty yet, because Master asked me to inform His Majesty first."

"Master is still in Tianjie Temple?" Zhu Gaoxu asked again.

Ma He respectfully replied: "Yes, after the master injured his right arm, he did not leave the temple, nor did he let the slaves go to find a doctor. He only said that he could heal his own limbs without the help of others."

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu fell into silence.

He thought that these words must have a profound meaning, and thought to himself: "The old monk likes to speak ironically, so his words must be understood in reverse. Well, I understand."

After Zhu Gaoxu figured it out, he told Ma He: "Get ready and come with me to visit Master Dao Yan. Also, remember to send someone to report this matter to my father."

"I'll take care of it now, my slave." Ma He said respectfully.
