King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 124 Yao Guangxiao: Amitabha!
  Royal study room.

Empress Xu entered, looked at Zhu Di who stood up and stared at her, raised her eyebrows, and rolled her eyes:
  "The little brat agreed."

"I won't be granted vassal status if I don't go, but I also made two demands."

"I have agreed on one point for you, but there is another point that is quite involved. I have not made up my mind for you."

Afterwards, Queen Xu described the two requests made by Zhu Gaoxu in detail in front of Zhu Di.

Hearing these words, Zhu Di was startled, his eyes narrowed, his face was expressionless and he was lost in thought.

'call'

After a long time, he came back to his senses, exhaled a long breath, raised his head and looked at Empress Xu who was staring at him, slightly chinned his head, and said softly:
  "In this matter, I did indeed go too far."

"It's not surprising that he has this concern and has this request."

"Promise to him!"

But she wasn't a very curious person, so she didn't ask too much about it.

“You can ask questions and trust people, but you must also be careful.”

"I had an explanation with him when I was planning this a few days ago."

"Your Majesty, I don't know what you and the second child want to do."

"Don't only see the country, you are the king and the father."

She took a deep look at Zhu Di, and without lingering too much, she slowly walked out the door.

The Han Palace in the middle of the night.

"Go to the countryside often, pay attention to the people, and get close to the people."

"It's difficult for me too. I can only say try my best."

"Queen! Queen!"

"I will definitely keep what you told me in mind."

"In the future, Zhou Xuan and Prince Anjian above the court in Yingtianfu City must also be more careful."

"Only when power is grasped can one behave as a superior person should."

After a while, Zhu Di came back from his daze, squinted his eyes and his expression became extremely heavy, and murmured to himself in a low voice:

"Hide troops among the people and rotate them once a year."

When did this guy in front of me become so easy to talk to?
  Just say that the family members of the Han Palace went to the fiefdom, which Queen Xu thought was a reasonable request.

Zhu Gaoxu leaned on the soft couch and looked at Princess Han in his arms. A trace of reluctance and distress flashed in his eyes. His voice was extremely solemn and he said:
  "I'll have to work harder for you in the future, Princess!"

"Even how the situation will develop in the future."

"The people must also firmly grasp their hearts, practice more benevolent policies, and communicate more with the people."

Hearing this and feeling the heavy emotions of the person in front of her, Princess Han couldn't help but tighten her hand tightly on Zhu Gaoxu's big hand. Her eyes were filled with heavy and firm meaning. She nodded heavily and said in a deep voice:

"As long as you remember these two places firmly, it will be fine."

"From now on, the king's escape will be left to the princess."

"Everything in the fief, especially the military power...the replacement of soldiers, the princess must remember to do as the king says."

The dim street lights above the corridor dance with the breeze that comes from time to time.

Waves of hot steam rose from the flaming stove burning in the pavilion, dispelling the cold air around and adding a bit of warmth to the yard.

After a brief moment of daze, Queen Xu looked solemn, her face looked particularly solemn, and her words were full of warning, and she said:

"I will definitely never forget it."

But Qiu Fu, as an important minister in the court and known as the leader of the generals, still agreed without any hesitation?
  It seemed that there was something mixed in there that she didn't know about.

But everyone is smart and knows what it means and what they want to express.

Regarding this matter, Zhu Di looked serious and opened his mouth to say something.
  But before the words were spoken, Queen Xu waved her hand to stop her. Then she saw Queen Xu pointing at her heart and head, half-squinting her eyes and saying solemnly:
  "I don't want to hear verbal assurances. They mean nothing."

Say it.

Did you hear it correctly?

"But one thing. Remember, we are all a family with only three sons..."

"The best way to achieve peace in the world!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty."

After hearing this, Queen Xu's eyes flashed with surprise, her half-closed eyes suddenly opened, and she looked at Zhu Di with interest, and a trace of doubt could not help but arise in her heart.

Vague words.

On the high platform, looking at the queen disappearing at the door, thinking about what she had just said, what she had done, and her actions, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. A trace of embarrassment flashed across her face, and she fell into deep thought.

"If you don't understand anything in the military, you can ask Qiu Fu."

"Being in the royal family, this is your destiny."

"Keep everything in mind and accumulate your own reputation."

"Try to protect yourself as much as possible and give me some more time."

As she spoke, Princess Han reached out and gently stroked Zhu Gaoxu's resolute cheek. Her face was full of love and reluctance, and her voice was choked with sobs unconsciously.

Then, Princess Han's eyes flashed with a hint of fanaticism, she pressed her head tightly against Zhu Gaoxu's broad arms, and whispered softly in his ear:

"Your Majesty...I want..."

Seeing the shy look of the person in front of him, how could Zhu Gaoxu not understand what he meant.

Thinking about the upcoming separation, the two people who were so far apart rarely saw each other, and a hint of madness flashed across his expression. He laughed "hehe" and hugged the person in his arms with his backhand. With him in his arms, he strode toward the wing with rapid strides.

The next morning.

The imperial edict had been sent to the Han Palace and Qiu Fu's residence early.

The two parties, who already knew the outcome, had packed up all the valuables at home and prepared everything they could use on the road last night.

After the imperial edict arrived, the two parties left Yingtian Mansion without stopping at all and headed for the Han Dynasty in Yunnan.

Such a huge team naturally alarmed all the officials in the court and the people in the city.

As a result, everyone became curious about what was happening right now, and a lot of suspicions, speculations, and suspicions arose.

Suddenly, the entire Yingtianfu City young people became restless and rushed around to discuss and tell each other.

It cast a layer of thick and strange clouds over the entire Yingtian Mansion.

It makes everything more complicated and confusing.

After receiving the news, Prince Zhao and the Crown Prince fell into deep thought for a while, and couldn't help but murmur in their hearts.

I'm a little curious, what kind of cool operation is Zhu Gaoxu going to do again?

I wonder if he is planning something again.

After being stunned for a short time, the two of them went to the Han Dynasty's palace together, intending to find out.

……

Jiming Temple. In a pavilion, Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao sat opposite each other, one holding a white stone and the other holding a black stone, playing chess with half-squinted eyes.

After a chess game was over, Yao Guangxiao smiled and held the tea cup beside him, blew on the float on it, took a small peck, waved to the young novice monks standing on both sides to serve him, and said:
  "Go down."

After receiving the order, the young novice knew that the two of them had important matters to discuss, so he wisely withdrew.

Only two people were left looking at each other in the courtyard, and the atmosphere suddenly became depressing.

After a moment of silence, Yao Guangxiao pointed to the chessboard in front of him and asked with a faint smile on his face:
  "Your Majesty, do you need another round?"

Hearing this, Zhu Di squinted his eyes, took a deep look at Yao Guangxiao who had a playful look on his face, reached out to put away the chess pieces on the chessboard, took a sip of the hot tea in the cup, and murmured in a low voice:
  "You monk...are really..."

"I always like to act like this. Aren't you tired of hiding it?"

Yao Guangxiao smiled, moved the chess pieces in his hands from time to time, and responded softly:

"Your Majesty is joking."

"Such a pure place of Buddhism, surrounded by pleasant scenery, singing birds, fragrant flowers, lingering with sandalwood, knocking fish and chanting sutras, why is it boring and why do I feel tired."

Seeing him like this, refusing to answer the content of his words and pretending to be crazy, Zhu Di was so angry that he glared at him fiercely and said in a deep voice:
  "Yes!"

"Monk, you are quite free now."

"But I have a huge headache sitting in this position."

"We no longer feel like one family. We still have a lot of things to worry about every day."

"Monk, do you think that if I hadn't listened to your gossip, I wouldn't be so tired..."

As he spoke, he subconsciously reached out and rubbed his slightly swollen temples, a hint of exhaustion flashed in his eyes.

Yao Guangxiao: "."

They are all smart people, able to start from Jingnan. And knowing so many secrets of Zhu Di, they can still live safely until now.

Why can't I tell that the man in front of me is trying to poke his heart out with words here?

He was also dissatisfied with him for pretending to be stupid.

After a brief moment of daze, Yao Guangxiao knew that he could no longer pretend to be deaf or dumb, otherwise he might make this man unhappy. Then he simply sorted out his thoughts, looked at Zhu Di with half-squinted eyes, and said softly:

"His Majesty."

"Are you worried about Prince Han and Prince Han again?"

"Although the poor monk has been in the temple these days, he has also heard some rumors."

"I wonder if Your Majesty would be willing to talk to the poor monk in detail?"

Hearing this, Zhu Di half-squinted his eyes and gave him a knowing look. Then he frowned and gently tapped the stone table. His face became extremely gloomy, and the temperature in the pavilion dropped in an instant. A few points.

"The family members in the Han Dynasty's palace, together with Qiu Fu's entire family."

"I have set off for the Yunnan fiefdom today."

"If you think about it, in just this moment, you have already traveled dozens of miles."

This statement came out.

Yao Guangxiao's expression became solemn, his half-closed eyes suddenly opened, and he looked at the person in front of him with a confused expression. He was no longer as calm and calm as before, and said in a deep voice:
  "When will Prince Han leave Beijing?"

Seeing his shocked reaction, a playful smile flashed across Zhu Di's face, and he said half-smilingly:

"Monk."

"I thought nothing could make you feel troubled anymore!"

Listening to the ridicule, Yao Guangxiao also realized that his reaction was a bit excessive, and then waved his hand, smiled and said:

"Your Majesty is joking."

"After all, wasn't it because His Majesty made so many arrangements before that he didn't want the King of Han to go to Yunnan?"

"Now, we have made such an unbelievable decision."

"Although the poor monk pays homage to the Buddha, after all, he is just a mortal body, so it is inevitable that curiosity will arise in his heart."

Explain this.

Zhu Di smiled noncommittally.

The two have known each other since they were young and have accomplished the feat of Jingnan. They know each other's personalities well.

After that, Zhu Di pondered for a long time with half-squinted eyes, a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and told him in detail what happened during these days.

Yao Guangxiao, who was standing aside, listened to Zhu Di's narration. The expression on his face changed from time to time, and his eyes became deep at some point. Some doubts could not help but arise in his heart, and he muttered secretly:

"Is it true that causes and effects can change so drastically?"

"Can a person who doesn't have even half of the true dragon's energy really possess the true dragon's energy?"

"If that's really the case."

"This is really fun."

Yao Guangxiao, who was deep in thought, felt the eyes on him, suddenly raised his head and looked back. After meeting Zhu Di's cold eyes, he subconsciously clasped his hands and lowered his head, not daring to look at him for fear of being seen through. Really average thoughts.

Although Yao Guangxiao hid it well, Zhu Di still caught a hint of something unusual.

After that, Zhu Di stood up, put his hands on his waist, looked around, and turned his gaze to the smoke-filled Buddhist hall not far away. The eyes turned in his eyes, and the expression on his face changed from time to time. He didn't know what he was thinking. .

After a long time, he retracted his gaze from the distance, exhaled a long breath, and slowly came to Yao Guangxiao's side, reached out and patted his shoulder gently, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes. Meaning, he said in a deep voice:
  "Monk..."

"Remember the last time I came here to tell you about your luck?"

"I've thought about it a lot these days, and I still want to give it a try."

"In this way, my heart can be at peace."

"Otherwise, I will never feel at ease and feel uneasy."

Revisited.

When Yao Guangxiao came back to his senses, the expression on his face couldn't help but become extremely solemn, the eyes in his eye sockets shrank, he raised his head and looked back, looked at each other for a moment, and responded in a deep voice:
  "His Majesty."

"Didn't the poor monk tell you that day?"

"Although I feel relieved, it may not be a blessing."

"Although I feel uneasy about not watching, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages."

"Your Majesty, why should you be so stubborn?"

Hearing this, Zhu Di glanced at him deeply, and his expression became extremely solemn and solemn. After being silent for a while, he shook his head firmly at Yao Guangxiao and said:
  "I don't want to be a confused person."

"There must be a clear and definite answer to this matter."

"Monk, you don't need to persuade me or worry about this."

"Since we are already worried enough, confused enough, and have enough headaches, we don't need to worry about this anymore."

"Just do what is within the scope of your duties, and ignore other things. Don't think too much about it."

Having said this, feeling the determination of the person in front of him, Yao Guangxiao narrowed his eyes and knew that he had no choice in this matter. He could only nod his head solemnly, clasped his hands together and chanted a Buddhist chant:
  "Amitabha!"
