Five years of garrison on the border, shocked Zhu Yuanzhang who went south to inspect

Chapter 115 Yao Guangxiao

"No, we must get rid of this matter."

Zhu Tuo shook his head, and when he walked to the main hall, he saw some big shots.

here.

When he asked, he discovered that his father was not only for his subjects;

When the court was over, Zhu Yuanzhang called several princes into the hall, "These days, I have recommended several good monks from all over the country. These monks were originally going to pray for the queen... I heard these words , I am very moved, so I will let you choose an eminent monk by yourself and go back with you."

When Zhu Tuo heard this, he also had a headache. If there was an old monk chanting sutras in his ears all day,
Maybe within two days, he would go on a killing spree in his dream and send the old monk to the west to see the Tathagata.

"Father, can I give up my job?" Zhu Tuo was the first to speak.

"No!" Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Zhu Tuo, and when he saw his unwillingness, he yelled: "If you say it again, I will give you eighty monks!"

Zhu Tuo sighed and had no choice but to follow Zhu Yuanzhang's suggestion and choose an old monk.

Seeing Zhu Tuo hanging his head, Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed.

According to the rules of the Confucian sect, Zhu Tuo cannot be taught, so he has no choice but to learn. After all, the eminent Buddhist monks are all vegetarians, recite, do good deeds and accumulate virtue. There is a monk who follows Zhu Tuo all day long, which will definitely change him. bad temper.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang felt happy.With a flick of his sleeve, Zhu Tuo was asked to choose an eminent monk first, while the other princes were waiting in the palace.

Zhu Di slapped Zhu Tuo on the shoulder and said encouragingly: "Brother Shiba, these monks are quite good. He once asked his father to let him be my minister, but he refused. When you finish choosing, I I’ll find you a suitable monk.”

"Yes." Wang Yao said.

Zhu Tuo didn't say much and walked out of the room directly.

During the Ming Dynasty, Buddhism was so powerful that a Yongzhao Temple was built on the right side of the West Garden of the Imperial Palace to house those monks.

At the same time, there will be a monthly allowance for some monks, and if anything happens, they will be recruited.

Zhu Tuo came to Yongzhao Temple and after explaining his origin, he was taken to the side hall of the courtyard. Zhu Tuo quickly reported to the abbot.

The abbot was preaching, and after listening to the report, he suddenly understood.

Since a few days ago, he received news from a group of princes that they wanted to choose a monk here, he could not delay. He immediately said to a group of young monks: "I will come to see King Su right away."

The young monks dispersed in a hurry.

The abbot is getting older, his beard and hair are all white, and he has served the royal family all his life. He is naturally able to deal with such a situation.

He naturally understood that this was an opportunity. After all, the monks of Yongzhao Temple all followed the princes. What an honor it was for him to be the abbot!

So, when the abbot found Zhu Tuo, he was also thinking about how to speak and how to promote the monks in the temple.

You must use your connections appropriately, not only to be personable, but also to make Zhu Tuo feel comfortable.

In short, it’s the “best of both worlds.”

The abbot was confident, put on his monk's robe, and walked into the courtyard: "Amitabha, the benefactor is here to visit us, but this poor monk is being rude!"

Zhu Tuo was looking at the scenery in the courtyard. After hearing this, he looked back at the abbot and nodded.

"you are right?"

"You call all the monks over, let me see if you have this ability, and let them work for me."

Abbot: "

Although he had already made eighteen plans, he did not expect King Su to be so straightforward.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't go to those monks and have a good chat with them. If he could chat for a few words, the other party would reluctantly agree...
But what's going on?

"Donor, you'd better go and have a look."

"Oh?" Zhu Tuo frowned.

The abbot shook his head.

Zhu Tuo asked: "Are they of higher status than me?"

The abbot still shook his head and said nothing. "No, they came to pay my respects."

The monk was stunned for a moment, and then said: "However, although you are a prince, you are just a corporal of courtesy.

"I don't want Li Xian."

Zhu Tuo waved his hand and said: "Wouldn't it be a waste of time if I were asked to look for them one by one? If you don't call me, I will leave immediately. I will tell my father that they don't want to follow me.
The abbot was startled. As a monk from the royal family, he immediately admitted defeat: "Okay, donor, please wait a moment. The poor nun will go and invite some masters."

Zhu Tuo nodded lightly and sat down on a stone chair.The abbot was in front of him, and a young monk was serving tea to them.

When several monks got the news, they came out of the room, came to the side of the abbot and Zhu Tuo, and folded their palms to them.

Zhu Tuo looked at the monk in front of him up and down, and found that the monk was fat and round, with a round belly. He couldn't help but shook his head: "No, no, this monk's face is so fat and full of wrinkles, let's have another one."

"Donor, this monk has very profound attainments in Buddhism, and his understanding of him is also very unique."

"It's okay, come back next time."

Zhu Tuo waved his hand and asked another monk to come over. After Zhu Tuo asked a few questions, he started talking for a full quarter of an hour, which was very exciting.

Zhu Tuo was confused.

"That's not OK."

"Donor, why is this so?"

"If he chants Buddha's name next to me all day long, I will be mad at him! Besides, I don't understand a word of the scriptures he said."

Next, one after another eminent monks came on stage to show off their talents.

Seeing this lively scene, the abbot was speechless.

Before he shaved his hair, he had served as an attendant to several young masters, and was lucky enough to enter a brothel. He still remembered that it was the same in the brothel. The young masters sat there leisurely, and the prostitutes showed off their talents to please those who wanted to. Rich playboy.

This scene is so similar.

Another monk also came forward. This monk was nearly forty years old. He was wearing a black robe. His face was expressionless and a little melancholy, but his eyes were calm and he seemed to know everything well.

When Zhu Tuo asked him to show his talent in Buddhism, he simply said a few words and closed his eyes.

He looked like he was waiting to be kicked out.

Zhu Tuo has never met such an arrogant person.

Ah? "

"A poor monk named 'Daoyan'."

Zhu Tuo was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Dao Yan blankly.

Zhu Tuo didn't answer, he continued to move forward.

Zhu Tuo quickly scolded him.

Dao Yan turned his head and looked at Zhu Tuo with some doubts.

Zhu Tuo couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, so he repeated the sentence and asked: "What was your name before you became a monk?"

"Yao Guangxiao." Monk Daoyan said lightly.

"Fuck!" Chen Xiaobei was stunned.

Anyone who knows a little bit about the Ming Dynasty will know Yao Guangxiao.

In one word: He is proficient in Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism. He is the most famous minister in Tsing Yi, the mastermind behind the Jingnan War, and Zhu Di's confidant. He is good at deceiving and plotting rebellion.

What's even more rare is that he also deceived the Emperor of Dayan, allowing him to fight against the entire country on his own and eventually rebel.

This is genius.

Zhu Tuo stared at Yao Guangxiao with fiery eyes, walked forward, held Yao Guangxiao's arm tightly, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, okay, I like you, and you will be my king from now on."
