My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 371

"Brother is coming back!"

Zhu Zhanhe also showed surprise when he heard this.

At the beginning, Zhu Zhanji was sent to Nanjing to take the place of Zhu Gaochi, so that he could go back to Beijing to be punished. Although Zhu Gaochi has been released now, he has no plans to return to Nanjing. Why is Zhu Zhanji back now?

"Zhanji came back this time mainly to get married. After all, he is not young, he should have gotten married long ago, and he is not married. You brothers, it's not easy to get ahead of him."

Zhu Gaochi explained with a smile.

Zhu Zhanji was engaged to the Hu family a long time ago, but he has never been officially married. Zhu Gaochi has always wanted to have a grandson, and this time he can finally get his wish.

"If big brother comes back, won't Nanjing be guarded?"

Zhu Zhanhe suddenly asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, Beijing has firmly secured the position of Kyoto, and the importance of Nanjing has gradually begun to decrease, so there is no need for your elder brother to sit in the town, Wei Guogong and others will be able to preside over it in Nanjing."

Zhu Gaochi replied.

It was just that when it was mentioned that the importance of Nanjing was decreasing, Zhu Gaochi also showed a bit of regret. He had always disapproved of moving the capital. Now that Nanjing's status has been reduced, he is naturally unwilling to express it, but he dare not express it.

After chatting for a while, Zhu Gaochi suddenly thought of something, so he asked curiously: "I heard that you brought a monk back from Japan?"

"Yes, this monk is named Yixiu. He is very young, but he is a very interesting person. He practices Zen Buddhism. He wanted to come to Daming to experience the real Zen Buddhism, so I brought him back."

Zhu Zhanhe nodded and replied.

After Yixiu came to the capital, Zhu Zhanhe arranged for him to live temporarily in Qingshou Temple, let him get acquainted with the life of Daming first, and communicate with the monks in the temple by the way.

"It's rare to meet a person who is praised by you. I really want to meet him."

Zhu Gaochi also said curiously when he heard the words.

"Okay, I haven't seen him for a few days, how about calling him into the palace for a talk?"

Zhu Zhanhe immediately suggested.

Zhu Gaochi also nodded in agreement, so Zhu Zhanhe immediately sent someone to Qingshou Temple to ask Yixiu to enter the palace.

Since coming to the capital of Ming Dynasty, Yixiu has also been greatly impacted. He used to live in Kyoto, Japan, and always thought that Kyoto should be one of the largest cities in the world.

But when he came to Daming, Yixiu realized that he was really a frog at the bottom of a well. Not to mention Kyoto was not compared with the capital of Daming, even Tianjin, which they passed through before, was more prosperous than Kyoto.

So after Yixiu came to Beijing, he seemed at a loss as to what to do. Fortunately, Zhu Zhanhe helped him arrange for him to temporarily place an order in Qingshou Temple.

It wasn't until this time that Yixiu found out that the elder Zhu Zhanhe was talking about actually lived in Qingshou Temple, but unfortunately the other party had passed away, and through the mouth of the monks in the temple, Yixiu finally knew that this monk named Daoyan, What a legend life is.

In fact, in Japan, monks also have a lot of power, especially many emperors or generals, most of them choose to become monks when they are old. Therefore, monks in Japan also have great power, and sometimes they can even influence people. A decision of the Emperor or the Shogunate.

But Yixiu never thought that in a country as powerful as Ming Dynasty, a single monk could affect the succession of the entire country's throne. The legendary Master Daoyan was just like a legendary god-man.

This also made Yixiu feel very regretful, because the Daoyan master passed away just after he came to the capital, and he couldn't see the other party at all, so he could only go to the other party's tomb to express his condolences afterwards.

In addition to Master Daoyan, Yixiu also gained a lot in Qingshou Temple. The monks in the temple also practice Zen. Through exchanges with eminent monks in the temple, Yixiu's understanding of Zen has also been greatly improved.

One day, Yixiu was drinking tea with several eminent monks in Qingshou Temple, but unexpectedly, Zhu Zhanhe sent someone to invite him into the palace, saying that His Royal Highness wanted to see him.

This surprised Yixiu, so he immediately got up and followed the visitor into the palace.

During this period of time, Yixiu also wandered around the city of Beijing. He was also very shocked by the capital of the Ming Dynasty. He never imagined that a city could be so large and prosperous.

What shocked Yixiu even more was that this Beijing city was only newly built by the Ming Dynasty. It is said that there is an old capital in the south, which is more prosperous and larger than Beijing, which made Yixiu always want to visit Nanjing.

As for the imperial city in Beijing, Yixiu has also seen it from a distance. If someone had told him before that the emperor of Ming Dynasty lived alone in a city within a city, he would not have believed it. Let him finally know that the emperor of Ming Dynasty is simply too extravagant, such a huge imperial city is actually just his residence.

Today, Yixiu finally had the opportunity to step into this imperial city, passing many buildings along the way, which made Yixiu feel dizzy.

Especially when passing through the three major halls that are being rebuilt, most of the three destroyed palaces have been rebuilt now. Just seeing those ant-like craftsmen working hard to build such a huge palace makes Yixiu feel uncomfortable. Realism, as if looking at the palace in the sky.

Finally, Yixiu finally came to the Wenhua Palace. When he saw Zhu Zhanhe accompanied by a fat man, he immediately stepped forward and saluted, "Ichixiu, a Japanese monk, pays homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty!"

"Huh? Your Chinese is so good that you can't hear the slightest accent at all?"

Zhu Gaochi was also surprised at this time.

He has received many envoys from foreign countries. Many envoys understand Chinese, but they all have an accent, even in North Korea. But he did not expect Yixiu to speak Chinese very purely. If he hadn't known it in advance, Zhu Gaochi would probably call him As a monk of Ming Dynasty.

"Uncle, you don't know. Japanese monks not only need to learn Chinese, but also learn to write Chinese poems. Yixiu is very clever and can learn languages ​​very quickly. When I first met him, he spoke with a little accent. , but after practice on the way back, I can no longer hear the accent at all."

Zhu Zhanhe explained with a smile.

"Oh, I didn't expect you to know how to compose poems. I wonder if you can compose a poem face to face?"

Zhu Gaochi also became interested when he heard the words. He already liked poetry, but now that he learned that Yixiu, a monk from overseas, can also compose poetry, of course he wanted to consider him.

Facing the consideration of His Highness the Crown Prince, Yixiu was not stage-frightened at all. He first looked at the Wenhua Palace, and then suddenly stepped in front of a painting hanging in the hall and said, "Since His Highness the Crown Prince has such a taste, the poor monk Take this painting as the title, and present a poem to His Highness."
