Jinyi Night Walk

In Tianjie Temple, Dao Yan came down from the Zen bed, Zheng He quickly stepped forward to help him, and said respectfully: "There is one more thing, Duke Fu has returned to Beijing, and this disciple will go to Xidong with Duke Fu soon. I don't know what other teachings the master has for the disciples?" Dao Yan said indifferently: "Army supervisors" specialize in the inspection of crimes, rewards and punishments, do what you should do, and don't meddle in other things. "

Zheng He respectfully said: "Yes" the disciple saved it. "

Supervising the army has existed since the Han and Tang Dynasties, assisting in military affairs and supervising generals.In modern times, the "party representatives" in the army actually also have the responsibility of supervising the army. At the beginning, the supervising army was mostly served by imperial envoys. Since Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, eunuchs have been used to supervise the army, and they have been out of the prison towns to fight against the commander. The military supervisors were still mostly imperial envoys and eunuchs, but after Zhu Di ascended the throne, this was the first time that he sent a supervisory army. Zheng He was in charge at the beginning, so he was naturally more cautious.

Dao Yan asked: "You seem to know a little about the ocean?",

Zheng He said: "Yes, both my ancestors and my father went on a pilgrimage to Mecca. When I was young, I heard stories about long voyages from my father and grandfather, so I know a thing or two about it.",

Dao Yan nodded slightly and said: "Well, this is a good thing. Although Yang Xu is capable, it is the first time to lead the army. If you can help him with some things, you can help him more. Supervising the army and the commander are like generals of a country." "Only the country can prosper if the prime minister and the general are in harmony." In an army, the commander and the supervising army support each other to win the battle!" Zheng He respectfully said: "Yes, my disciple has written it down."

Zheng He was a Muslim from his father's ancestors, but he also believed in Buddhism. He was a Buddhist and worshiped Daoyan as his teacher.This time he was ordered by the Holy Spirit to supervise the army in Xidong, and he came here specially to bid farewell to his master.

Then I went out of the meditation room alone." A young man was standing at the door. "Seeing Zheng He coming out with Daoxing," he bowed and said, "Father! "

Dao Yan stopped and said, "Who is this?"

Zheng He hurriedly said: "This is the eldest son of the disciple's elder brother Ma Wenming." Now he has adopted the disciple, and has changed his name to Zheng Ci with the disciple's surname, and the name is Enlai."

Zheng Ci also knew that this monk was not an ordinary person, so he quickly saluted: "I have met Master Daoyan!"

Dao Yan smiled at Zheng He and said: "Good" is a good boy, "Now that you have your own heir, you should do more good deeds, accumulate more good deeds, and benefit your descendants.",

Zheng He bowed and said: "My disciple obeys your orders" Master, please stay behind "My disciple is now ordered to participate in the construction of the Great Baoen Temple." Now that the New Year has passed, the servants have begun to return, and the disciple has to take care of it. ",

Dao Yan said with a smile: "The emperor has a lot of trust in you, and you should use more snacks when doing things, go!"

"Yes!"

Zheng He gave another salute, and led his son out, "Just arrived at the front hall" and bumped into Xia Xun head-on." Xia Xun said strangely: "Eunuch Zheng, why are you here? ",

When Zheng He saw it was him, he hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects, and said, "Zheng He worships Master Daoyan."

He is now a master's disciple, and he came to Tianjie Temple today to pay homage to his master.Why is the Duke here? ",

Xia Xun said: "Oh, I'm here to meet the [Japanese] envoy, and I'll pay a visit to Master Daoyan, who is this?"

Xia Xun saw Zheng He was accompanied by a young man who was not dressed like a maid in the palace, so he asked casually.

Zheng He told Zheng Ci's identity to him, and Xia Xun smiled and said, "Oh, so what did you do, but you have studied, do you have any fame?"

Zheng He sighed and said: "To tell the truth, my elder brother's family is not happy in Yunnan. Now that I have taken care of me, the family situation is better. My son is smart and sensible, but it is a pity that he has never read it. Books. He has not been in Jinling for long, and I plan to help him find something to do when he is older."

Xia Xun's heart moved, and he said, "So that's how it is. Well... Jin Yiwei's South Town Fu Liu Yujue is short of manpower. I think this kid is very clever. If Eunuch Zheng doesn't mind it, I will recommend it to Liu Zhenfu. , ask him to work in Jinyi South Town, what do you think? Start with a hundred households, and after making contributions, it won’t be too late for him to be promoted!"

Liu Yujue can appoint the position of a hundred households by himself, but for Xia Xun, it is just a matter of one sentence.

Zheng He originally wanted to find a stable job for his son to do." But now he is only favored by the emperor, and has no influence in the outer court, and he is not easy to open his mouth to the emperor. He is thinking about this these days. What Xia Xun said was surprised and delighted, and asked quickly: "Duke...isn't it a joke to the Ran family? "

Xia Xun said seriously: "Hey, although Eunuch Zheng and I know each other very well, we can't joke about this kind of thing."

Zheng He was overjoyed." Hastily said: "Ci'er, hurry up and thank Lord Fu Guo! ",

Zheng Ci could hear clearly from the side, and when he heard his father's call, he hurriedly stepped forward and happily gave Xia Xun a big gift, saying, "Zheng Ci thanked Lord Fuguo."

Xia Xun quickly reached out to help her: "Get up, don't be so outrageous. Eunuch Zheng and I are brothers, so there's nothing to thank for such a small matter." "

As soon as Zheng He heard it, he smiled and said: "The Duke is so polite, Zheng He is really high-ranking, Cier, why don't you call him Uncle Yang?" The emperor walked beside him, but he was still a human being after all, and he also had emotions and desires.Especially when I am physically handicapped, I care more about my offspring.”

Being able to arrange a future for his offspring" This is the biggest thing in his heart, Xia Xun gave him this generous gift, and he was really grateful in his heart.

Xia Xun knew that Zheng He was very much favored by Emperor Yongle. Even if he didn't help now, it would be a matter of time before Zheng He's sons would get fame. I could do him a favor and win over this powerful minister beside the emperor. This deal is definitely worth it. When he goes to Xidong, Zheng He will be his supervisor, and if he establishes a close relationship, he will not have to worry about not being supported by Zheng He. If the supervisor does not hinder him, he can It's time to let go of your hands and feet.

Xia Xun has always respected Zheng He." Zheng He has always been very close to Xia Xun. Now that Xia Xun has promised, the relationship between the two has suddenly become closer. The two talked for a long time outside the Daxiong Palace. Thankfully, he led his son away.

Xia Xun went around to the back hall, and then asked someone where Master Daoyan was.Daoyan is not just practicing here. He is now the Senglusi Zuo Shanshi.Therefore, Dao Yan's daily business is also very busy.

Daoyan sent his apprentice Zheng He away and was dealing with government affairs when someone came to report that Yang Xu, the Duke of Fu, had arrived, so Daoyan rushed out to meet him personally.Invited him into the meditation room and asked the little novice to serve tea." He asked with a smile, "Why is Fu Guogong so free to come to my monk's house today? "

Xia Xun said with a smile: "Speaking of which, Yang should have come to see the master a long time ago, but since the emperor ascended the throne, Yang has been busy with affairs, and Yang can't take care of it. Yang's visit today has something to do with the [Japanese] envoy. I have something to say." Since we are here, we must first meet the master.Dabei is as healthy as before, Yang Xu is very happy to see him, Master is still used to living in this Tianjie Temple? "

Dao Yan smiled and said: "Duke Meng is concerned, I am a monk, where can I not settle down? However, it is better to practice as a monk, with green mountains and green waters, and a place outside the world, but now I am in charge of some mundane affairs for the emperor, so I can't get rid of it." Body."

Xia Xun accidentally learned yesterday that the Japanese envoy did not live in Honglu Temple, but went to Tianjie Temple to visit him, so he couldn't help feeling a little worried.He was worried that if he also walked out of his family and had a common topic with each other, the [Japanese] monk would impress Dao Yan with a curve to save the country, and asked him to be a lobbyist for him.

Daoyan is the only person in the world who is treated equally by Zhu Di as a mentor and a friend." His position in Zhu Di's heart is unmatched. The pressure can't be suppressed anymore, so today's visit to Daoyan, on the one hand, is a matter of etiquette." On the other hand, it also means that I want to momo Daoyan first.

Dao Yan is a man of profound practice, and he always gives people the feeling that he has the opportunity to see the candle and grasp the wisdom in his hands. "In front of such a monk, even Xia Xun, who is an extremely courteous person, has psychological pressure." It's better to get straight to the point than talking around in front of you.So Xia Xun is no longer polite." Instead, his expression was straightened, and he said straight to the point: "Master, I have been repeatedly harassed by Japanese pirates along the coast of Daming." Thousands of people have been harassed. Master must have heard of these things?" Dao Yan nodded his head. :, "Although I live in Buddhism, I have heard about these things.

Fu Guogong took over the military and political power of the five coastal provinces this time for the purpose of encircling and suppressing Japanese pirates? ",

Xia Xun said solemnly: "Yes! However, the troubles of the Japanese pirates have internal and external causes, and there are many. If you want to eradicate the troubles of the Japanese pirates", it is by no means achievable by force.Now Japanese pirates are harassing and causing trouble along our coast, but Japanese people come to beg for business!"My Heavenly Dynasty Shangguo" and Fanbang have always been magnanimous and generous. Many courtiers believed that since [Japan] was accepted as a vassal, they should not be blamed for the Japanese pirates, but they didn't know the master What do you think about this?" Dao Yan's eyes flickered slightly, and he said with a smile: "Hehe, I understand the meaning of the Duke, and Master Zu'a, the envoy of [Japan], did ask me to speak on his behalf, but I am just a monk Well, it is also the religious affairs of the world that are managed on behalf of the emperor. It is inconvenient for me to comment on other matters, so I have never commented on it.

Many people only know that my Buddha is merciful, but they don't know the great convenience of my Buddha.The original heart of the Buddha is to benefit and benefit all living beings." All convenient methods are for this purpose. Enlightenment is not the only means. Whatever the Duke intends to do, just do it. The old master here only takes care of the guests' food and drink, and does nothing else. Let me ask! All living beings have different karmic conditions, so give according to their conditions!"

It was a joy to explain plain words to a sensible person. Xia Xun didn't expect Dao Yan to answer so clearly, "Let your mind go." Suddenly, he was overjoyed, clasped his hands together and thanked: "The master understands everything, and the disciple is sincerely convinced!"

Dao Yan smiled slightly, and said to the little novice who was standing beside him: "Yuantong, guide Fu Guogong to see the ancestor!",
