Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Zhu Gui is a bit of a Buddhist, and he often goes to Buddhist temples to pay his respects and give him some money for sesame oil.

The largest Buddhist temple near Hunyuan Prefecture is the Kaiyuan Temple outside the city. He knows the abbot here and has a good relationship. He gave Kaiyuan Temple a lot of money for fragrant oil and worked together to hide the fields.

On the first and fifteenth day of every month, he would come to Kaiyuan Temple to worship Buddha, rain or shine, unless there was something particularly important that could not come, basically nothing could interrupt his plans.

Praying to the Buddha is just asking for comfort.

Jiankong had already figured out Zhu Gui's character and knew when he would come, so at noon, he asked the monks in the temple to prepare for Zhu Gui's arrival. There were other believers in the temple, but not many, most of them I was still driven away by the monks here.

Only a small number of people were left behind so that Zhu Gui could have the feeling of enjoying himself with the people and worshiping Buddha together.

In terms of grasping Zhu Gui's thoughts, Jian Kong did a good job.

"Your Highness is here." Jian Kong was waiting near the mountain gate and laughed when he saw Zhu Gui.

In fact, he was also a monk in the temple. He had been staring down the mountain for a long time. When he saw Zhu Gui coming, he immediately went back to notify Jian Kong and came to wait at the mountain gate instead of Jian Kong deliberately waiting.

Zhu Gui didn't care about all this. He came here to worship Buddha, not Kong. He clasped his hands together and said, "Master!"

"Amitabha!"

Jian Kong recited a Buddha's name and said with a smile: "We at Kaiyuan Temple respectfully welcome His Royal Highness, Your Highness, please come inside!"

Zhu Gui said: "Master, you're welcome."

They walked in together.

"Master, I have something I want to ask you."

Zhu Gui knew that Zhu Su's side was fine. It was not that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to cut down the feudal vassal, but just to capture the White Lotus Sect. It was just a normal move to borrow the Xuanfu's troops. But it was precisely because of this that the cut off the feudal lordship came to him again. in mind.

He had a premonition that Zhu Xuan would definitely attack the feudal king in the future.

It is unknown when they will take action, but they should not be let go. Even if the eldest brother the prince is still there, there is still the possibility of cutting down the vassal.

Today I came to see Kong, mainly to solve problems and see what Buddhism thinks about reducing vassal status.

Jian Kong clasped his hands together and said, "Your Highness is here at the right time. I have a senior brother who is traveling abroad. He passed by our Hunyuan Prefecture today and happened to hang out at the poor monk's place. The Dharma is profound and much better than the poor monk's. How about the poor monk introduce you to Your Highness?" He relieves His Highness' worries?"

"Master's senior brother?"

Zhu Gui thought about it and thought that another person would be fine, but the other person was really not good enough. He could just find Mian Kong again. He nodded and said, "Thank you, Master."

Seeing Kong smiled slightly, he took Zhu Gui to a monk's house and asked Zhu Gui to wait for a while before letting someone notify Yao Guangxiao.

There was burning incense and cigarette smoke in the monk's residence, which gave Zhu Gui a sense of peace. In addition, the monk's residence was very clean and looked relatively comfortable. When he was in it, he felt relaxed all over.

This is also the reason why Zhu Gui likes Buddhist temples so much. Sometimes when he comes here, he can put away many of his worries and feels quite comfortable.

At this time, the door was pushed open.

Yao Guangxiao came in, bowed and said: "Meet His Highness the King."

Zhu Gui, who was closing his eyes to rest and feel the tranquility here, opened his eyes slightly and looked at Yao Guangxiao for a while. Suddenly his eyes narrowed, he jumped up suddenly and said fiercely: "Why are you here?"

He instinctively touched his waist.

It's just that his sword was given to the servants when he went up the mountain. Those things stained with blood cannot be brought into the Buddhist temple for fear of staining the Buddha.

Of course Zhu Gui knew Yao Guangxiao and had seen this person by Zhu Di's side before.

In addition, Yao Guangxiao was also a wanted criminal in Ming Dynasty. He was surprised to meet him here, and at the same time he stared at Yao Guangxiao murderously.

This wanted criminal is also a monster monk. Zhu Yuanzhang kept chasing him, but after several years, even Yao Guangxiao could not be found.

At this time, people appeared in front of Zhu Gui. He was about to call people in, capture Yao Guangxiao, and take him back to claim credit.

"Your Highness, don't make any noise."

Yao Guangxiao said calmly: "I understand His Highness's concerns. This visit must be for the purpose of reducing the vassal, right?"

He sat directly in front of Zhu Gui and squinted his eyes. He had a kind of confidence that he could control Zhu Gui. He was not worried at all whether Zhu Gui would call the guards from outside. If he dared to come to see Zhu Gui, he would do everything he could. Be prepared, fear nothing, and there will be no danger.

After hearing Yao Guangxiao's words, Zhu Gui stopped speaking and looked at Yao Guangxiao in surprise.

This monster monk can actually understand what I'm thinking?

"It seems I guessed it right."

Yao Guangxiao laughed out loud when he saw Zhu Gui's expression.

Just by looking at his expression, he could roughly judge Zhu Gui's thoughts, and he was more sure of what he was thinking.

You must know that most of the current vassal kings are thinking about cutting down the vassal, especially after what happened to the Xuanfu, their thoughts are even stronger.

It's not very difficult to guess this.

Zhu Gui sat down, stopped calling anyone, and continued to look at Yao Guangxiao. After a while, he said, "Are you Master Jiankong's senior brother?"

Yao Guangxiao smiled and said: "I have many connections in Buddhism. I have connections with many Buddhist temples. I am also the senior brother of many abbots. Your Highness, there is no need to doubt that the abbot here may not be able to help you solve your doubts, but I will certainly Can."

Having said this, he looked at Zhu Gui confidently.

Don't worry at all, Zhu Gui will not cooperate with you.

"Do you know you want to reduce the vassal status?"

Zhu Gui suppressed various thoughts and decided not to do anything to Yao Guangxiao for the time being, but also wanted to see what Yao Guangxiao had in mind.

Yao Guangxiao smiled and sighed: "Who among the vassal kings in the world doesn't know that they will definitely cut down the vassal in the future? As long as the current emperor's grandson dares to propose it, you don't have to wait until the future. Your majesty may cut you all off now, especially if something happens. Let’s take care of His Highness King Yan’s affairs.”

The Prince of Yan he was talking about was Zhu Di, not Zhu Gaochi.

Zhu Di had gone through so many troubles and ruined the reputation of their vassal king long ago. Now who doesn't know that the vassal king may be an important factor in the rebellion, which is very dangerous.

Zhu Gui's face darkened, and he did not doubt Yao Guangxiao's words.

Based on his understanding of Zhu Yuanzhang, he would definitely do this. Then he looked at Yao Guangxiao with burning eyes, feeling that what this demon monk said made sense.

"I can help His Highness deal with the vassal reduction incident."

Yao Guangxiao said with confidence.

Zhu Gui thought for a long time before saying, "Who are you here to replace? My fourth brother?"

We have to find out who is behind Yao Guangxiao and what his identity is.

Zhu Di was demoted to a commoner and was monitored in the capital. If Zhu Di could still lead from behind, then he was thinking that the fourth brother was really rebellious and even dreamed of rebellion.

The status of the vassal king ended up like this, mostly because of Zhu Di's harm.

It was Zhu Di who opened this gap, which caused Zhu Yuanzhang to be dissatisfied with the vassal king. (End of chapter)
