Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 10 Backstab
Zhu Yuanzhang's words made Kunning Palace a little nervous.

Well done, how could the emperor say such a sentence.

What do you mean by 'My son can be safe'?
Even if you want to ask this question, shouldn't you ask the court officials who are guarding the spirit in Jiyan Hall, and ask Chen Yunfu what these monks do.

So this topic returns to those two words.

Be safe!

In the Jiyan Palace, only Chen Yunfu and his few monks are the most 'safe'. If you ask this question to other people, can Zhu Yuanzhang get the most pertinent answer?

Obviously it is impossible.

There are many political parties in the court, each with their own factional standpoints, and when they speak, there is more or less a sense of attack and slander, so the words of monks like Chen Yunfu are not credible.

Yao Guangxiao clasped his hands together, and answered the sentence cautiously.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the princes are all respectful and filial, this is all thanks to the education of Your Majesty and the previous empress."

"I can see whether they are filial or not." Zhu Yuanzhang emphasized his tone: "What I want to know is that they are restless."

Seeing that Yao Guangxiao didn't answer, Zhu Yuanzhang called his name.

"For example, the fourth child in my family."

No need to guess, it must have been a small report from one of Wang Fan and Li Shangwen to Zhu Yuanzhang.

These two people hate Zhu Di for not dying.

"I heard that my son almost cried to death in front of the Queen's grave. Is there such a thing?"

"Returning to His Majesty, His Royal Highness King Yan is benevolent, filial and sincere, and it is rare to have a pure heart, which is moving."

"Yes, yes." Zhu Yuanzhang muttered noncommittally: "I have so many sons guarding the border, and he was the only one who rushed back from the border. I am very pleased."

Yao Guangxiao's forehead was covered with sweat. He is a fine person. If you still can't tell that Zhu Yuanzhang is pointing at him all the time, then you have learned the vertical and horizontal skills for nothing. .

"The former Empress and King Yan, although the mother and son were separated by thousands of miles, their souls and hearts are still in harmony, so that the poor monk can see what is meant by the relationship between heaven and man. Amitabha, so good, so good."

Zhu Yuanzhang stopped talking, looked at Yao Guangxiao quietly, and then laughed with a little disdain after a long time.

"In the past half a month, I have to work with a few masters, but you can say anything you want, and I will allow it."

Yao Guangxiao bowed to the end, respectfully and obediently: "Being able to chant for the queen's fairy spirit is a blessing for poor monks and others, and I dare not ask for it."

"I have a golden word, if you say you want to reward, you must reward."

Now Yao Guangxiao didn't dare to persist, so he had to say: "Since that's the case, poor monk, please reward your Majesty with some Buddhist scriptures."

"Okay, I agree."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and looked at Chen Yunfu again, with a smile on his face.

"Little Master, what about you?"

"Ah?" Chen Yunfu was a little surprised. He didn't expect Zhu Yuanzhang to ask himself, and he was a little nervous at a loss, not knowing what to ask.

"If you don't say anything, then I will make up your mind for you."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Chen Yunfu and thought of the days when he was a monk when he was young, so he was very kind.

"My little monk has it."

Chen Yunfu himself didn't know where his courage came from, maybe it was the kind smile on Zhu Yuanzhang's face that gave him courage, and he opened his mouth as soon as he bald.

"Say it, I agree."

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's majestic but kind face, with the sadness and oldness still remaining in the corners of his eyes, the first thing Chen Yunfu thought of was Zhu Biao who vomited blood several times in Jiyan Palace.

When Zhu Biao dies in his prime in the future, the man in front of him, who has recovered the country, will have to bear the pain of losing his dear one.

With this in mind, Chen Yunfu glanced at Yao Guangxiao, didn't care about it, and just knelt on the ground and nodded.

"The little monk knows that the relationship between the emperor's grandfather and the former empress is as deep as the ocean. Now that the fairy spirit of the empress is gone, the emperor must be the most painful person in the world, but you belong to the country and the country. In the past half month, His Royal Highness has been heartbroken. He vomits blood, so the little monk only asks the emperor, you and the crown prince to mourn, and if so, the little monk is willing to go back to Tianjie Temple to chant scriptures for the empress for a lifetime."

As soon as these words were said, the Kunning Palace became quiet.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face twitched, and fluctuations flickered in his eyes looking at the world.

This indomitable man was rarely moved.

"You want to chant scriptures for the queen, forever?"

"Yes."

Chen Yunfu bit the bullet, and said in a pious and submissive tone, "My little monk is willing."

The corners of Yao Guangxiao's eyes twitched, and he glanced at Chen Yunfu who was kneeling on the ground with incredible eyes.

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a while, and then spoke.

"It's rare that you have such filial piety at such a young age. If I agree, you can stay in the palace and chant scriptures for the queen."

Chen Yunfu kowtowed excitedly and said, "Young monk receives the decree."

After knocking, he got up, lowered his head and stood back behind Yao Guangxiao.

"Okay, let's all step back, Baoxiang, take this little mage Daoming to the meditation hall."

The Baoxiang eunuch couldn't help showing surprise when he heard the words, and glanced at Chen Yunfu in disbelief.

The whole world knows that Empress Ma worshiped Buddha during her lifetime, so naturally there is a Buddhist ancestral hall specially prepared for Empress Ma in the palace, and this is the Jingxin Hall.

Now, Zhu Yuanzhang actually left this meditation hall to Chen Yunfu. It seems that what Chen Yunfu said just now was true moved Zhu Yuanzhang.

Perhaps the more important reason is that Chen Yunfu mentioned Zhu Biao before.

The prince's physical condition is not ideal.

The dead are dead, and the living are more important.

At this time, you Zhu Yuanzhang can't just care about the deceased Queen Ma, you also have to care about Zhu Biao's situation.

How can a teenager not move Zhu Yuanzhang's face when he can say such words.

What's more, Chen Yunfu said that he was willing to spend his whole life chanting sutras for Empress Ma.

Of course Zhu Yuanzhang knew that such words were very watery, but anyone who listened to them would be moved.

Injured men, like injured women, are at the time when their psychological defenses are the weakest, and they are also the most likely to be broken by emotions and gain trust.

Baoxiang sent Chen Yunfu and others away, Yao Guangxiao stopped at the Qianqing Gate, glanced at Chen Yunfu, then at the eunuch Baoxiang.

The latter was more particular, and took a few steps to the side, leaving room for Chen Yunfu and the two to talk.

"Junior brother, how dare you stay in this palace."

Yao Guangxiao suppressed his voice, and said very worriedly: "It's very dangerous here."

Chen Yunfu lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to the eye, but he did not speak cowardly.

"Senior brother, since he also knows that the palace is dangerous, why should he speak for King Yan?"

At this moment, Chen Yunfu could already say with certainty that Yao Guangxiao and Zhu Di must have known each other a long time ago!

Yao Guangxiao must have been to Peiping during his seventeen years of traveling, he and Zhu Di have known each other for a long time.

Therefore, everything that was originally in the fog became clear.

Yao Guangxiao couldn't be a god at all, and he couldn't figure out that Empress Ma was about to die. The reason why it happened so coincidentally was because someone in Jinling tipped off the news.

For example, Imperial Physician!

The imperial doctor must have known the condition of Empress Ma's phoenix body, so he notified Zhu Dina in advance, and then Yao Guangxiao returned to Jinling and entered the Tianjie Temple.

Empress Ma admired Buddhism the most during her lifetime, and especially loved coming to Tianjie Temple. Now that she is in poor health and dying, Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely come to Tianjie Temple to worship Buddha and pray for peace of mind.

And after the death of Empress Ma, Tianjie Temple will fall out of favor. How dare Zong Yuan come to guard the spirit in person and make trouble in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Then, Yao Guangxiao, who returned from traveling abroad, will be selected as the representative to go to the palace.

With Yao Guangxiao here to chant scriptures and guard the spirit, are you afraid that you won't be able to observe the movement in the court at close range?

Yao Guangxiao's eyes were exposed to all the different states of the soul.

The sick and frail prince Zhu Biao is Yao Guangxiao's only important target.

Rather than saying that Yao Guangxiao is a magician who is proficient in yin and yang, it is better to say that he is a scheming politician.

All of this has long been planned by him and Zhu Di.

And he, Chen Yunfu, is actually just a "tool man" that Yao Guangxiao brought to the palace.

Think about it, no matter who it is, even Zhu Yuanzhang, when he sees Chen Yunfu, he will involuntarily be distracted a little.

Why is there still a little monk?

Especially Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Hongwu was a monk when he was a child, how could he not pay extra attention when he saw Chen Yunfu.

With this distraction, Yao Guangxiao became less concerned.

Yao Guangxiao regarded Chen Yunfu as a child, but he never figured it out. Apart from being a child physically, the latter was almost forty mentally.

The mechanism has been polished for decades, and some things have already been figured out in the past half a month.

That's why Chen Yunfu took the risk just now and made a request to recite sutras for Empress Ma for a lifetime.

They all hold their thighs, whether Yao Guangxiao or Zhu Di, whose thighs are as thick as Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang's!

This is undoubtedly a gamble. If Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't impress, then it's a big game.

Yao Guangxiao narrowed his eyes, still pretending to be confused.

"Daoming, monks don't lie, you are still young, you should read more Buddhist scriptures to cultivate yourself."

"Senior Brother's teaching, Junior Brother must keep it in mind."

Chen Yunfu, with a low eyebrow and pleasing eyes, responded, and what he said was extremely honest and responsible.

Yao Guangxiao didn't say much, and left with the other juniors with his sleeves.

Chen Yunfu was left standing alone at the Qianqing Gate wrapped in layers of white cloth.

The early autumn wind blew, and Baoxiang came over.

"Little Master Daoming, come with our family."
