King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 53 Heart-to-heart talk at Jiming Temple, Zhu Di’s worries

The next day.

The first ray of morning sun shines down.

After Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly ate the breakfast prepared by his servants, he stepped onto the carriage that had been waiting at the door and headed to the palace.

The main purpose of this trip was to talk to Zhu Di about the general's visit to the mansion last night.

no way.

There is no airtight wall in the world, so many generals paid their respects last night.

Not to mention Zhu Di, who has the eyes and ears of Jin Yiwei, I am afraid that all the courtiers in the court who are better informed will probably already know the news.

Taking the initiative to ask for a meeting to explain the problem now may not necessarily convince Zhu Di.

But he still needs to show his attitude.

But after they left, Zhu Di must have received the news.

Jiming Temple!

No, this was the reason why he hurried to the palace so early in the morning.

Knowing many things about Zhu Di, he can be said to be an absolute confidant.

The old man had already left the palace early in the morning and went to Jiming Temple.

And why didn't he just go to the palace again last night? Because it was completely unnecessary for him.

Just like when Zhu Di was hesitant about who to appoint as the crown prince, he also approached Yao Guangxiao, and then appointed Zhu Gaochi as the crown prince.

I'm afraid that if he takes the initiative to report again, who knows what Zhu Di will think when he is already angry.

Thinking about it, Zhu Di definitely couldn't be looking for Emperor Jianwen, but was undoubtedly looking for Yao Guangxiao.

But when he hurried to the palace, the news he received made him dumbfounded.

Whenever Zhu Di was in a bad mood or encountered something difficult to make a decision, he would always go to Jiming Temple to consult with Yao Guangxiao and listen to some of his unique suggestions.

At least it can't be criticized.

The people below were very sensible and didn't come to report it.

Maybe things will get worse!

Under such circumstances, it is better to give each other a night to calm down.

After all, the two have had a relationship for so many years.

There lived two divine men, Emperor Jianwen and the prime minister in black, Yao Guangxiao.

Moreover, the demon monk Yao Guangxiao was the real initiator of the Jingnan movement, and he accompanied Zhu Di from his early days.

At that time, Zhu Di was very angry.

And with Zhu Di's ears and eyes, he could not prevent the generals from coming to pay a visit, and the news from the back was spread to the palace.

It's just that Zhu Di was dealing with their family's affairs at that time and had no time to pay attention.

In a sense.

Zhu Gaochi was able to sit on the throne of the prince, and Yao Guangxiao was the first to contribute.

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxu half-squinted his eyes with suspicion, and muttered:
  "Why did the old man go to Jiming Temple so early?"

"Is it because of what he said last night and what Zhu Zhanji interfered with? Or is it because the general went to visit him at his house?"

"Or is it because of the Timur Empire?"

……

Jiming Temple.

Located in an ancient temple in the capital, it was highly praised by the royal family and was considered the most popular temple during the Yongle period.

In a pavilion in the temple.

Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao were both leaning on the soft couch and sipping hot tea.

After a while, Yao Guangxiao put down the tea cup in his hand, waved to the young novices guarding on both sides and said:
  "Go down."

After everyone left, they were the only two people left in the courtyard.

Yao Guangxiao half-squinted his eyes, looked at Zhu Di aside with a faint smile on his face, and asked softly:
  "His Majesty."

"When you come this time, the poor monk sees that you are very worried."

"I don't know why this is happening?"       "Can I talk to this poor monk conveniently?"

The two have had a relationship of monarch and minister for many years.

Yao Guangxiao understands Zhu Di's character very well. He is a master of the Three Treasures Palace who does nothing.

If there was nothing important, I would not come to the temple to have tea with him so early in the morning.

After all, he is already busy enough with the affairs of the court, so how can he have so much free time?

And when he looked at Zhu Di's expression, he saw that he hesitated to speak several times.

Just ask the exit first.

After hearing this, Zhu Di gently pressed the coffee table, smiled and said:
  "Monk, can't I come to you if I have nothing to do?"

The smile on Yao Guangxiao's face did not diminish when he was asked. Without saying a word, he just looked at Zhu Di with a half-smile.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Di glared at him, knowing that others did not believe what he said, so he smiled coquettishly and said:
  "Monk, you are so boring."

"hehe."

Yao Guangxiao chuckled and responded:

"Your Majesty is joking."

"Buddhism is a pure place where monks do not tell lies, and you are the current holy master. How dare a poor monk act clever in front of you, just to talk quickly."

Zhu Di glanced at him with disdain, looked up at the Buddhist hall not far away, looked around, and said with a half-smile:
  "What the monk said is wrong."

"I thought that when you gave me the white hat, wasn't it in this pure place of Buddhism?"

"How many people died because of a hat."

"I never saw you say that at that time."

Yao Guangxiao: "."

Too much.

Will you chat?

How can you talk to everyone like this as soon as you open your mouth?

Who did you learn to poke your heart from?
  I've never seen you so cruel before.

After being stunned for a short time, Yao Guangxiao clasped his hands together, with a hint of sadness on his face, and replied:

"Buddha said: If I don't go to hell, who will?"

"Choose a wise ruler for the world, act in accordance with the way of heaven, and benefit the people."

"Even if you commit some sins of killing, Buddha will understand."

"The poor monk will bear all the consequences!"

With such an attitude, Zhu Di smiled, knowing that he couldn't take advantage of the fallacy, so he simply didn't bother to argue with it.

After that, he pondered for a long time with his eyes half-closed, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and his voice suddenly dropped and he said:
  "Monk, as you expected, I am indeed in trouble."

"During this period, the second child seems to have changed. He seems to have lost interest in the throne. No matter how we try to seduce him, that little brat will not be fooled. He is more slippery than a loach."

"On the contrary, from time to time, I allow him to go and join the feudal clan."

"I'm tired and want to be a happy prince."

"For the moment, I couldn't understand whether he was genuine or fake, and what he wanted to do."

"Last night, the second child used his identity and Zhu Zhanji's identity to compare my and Jianwen's identities."

"That little bastard Zhu Zhanji is not a good bird either. After a little testing, he will reveal his true feelings."

"Even more so, I was caught by the second child."

Having said this, Zhu Di paused, his eyes suddenly opened, his face full of worry, he took a few deep breaths, and recounted what happened during this period one by one.

Yao Guangxiao, who was sitting aside, was listening to Zhu Di's narration. The original cynical and playful expression slowly disappeared from his face, replaced by a look of solemnity and confusion, and his eyes became deep.

"Monk, I'll tell you the truth."

"The recent changes in my second child have caused me to toss and turn in sleep late at night."

"Especially what happened last night, I couldn't close my eyes all night."

"Whenever I close my eyes, my mind is filled with blood."
