My father Yongle, building a five-good family

Chapter 48: The monk reads the face

When Xu Miaoyun heard what Zhu Gaoyu said, she couldn't help laughing.

Looking at Zhu Gaoyu's appearance, she couldn't help but feel like teasing him, and deliberately said:
"How is your father worthy of me?"

When Zhu Gaoyu saw Xu Miaoyun standing in front of him, his courage suddenly swelled up and he started yelling:
"Dad has been through wind and rain, and now he is much rougher than before. There is no comparison with you."

Zhu Di's fist was itching again.

But when Xu Miaoyun glanced at Zhu Di with smiling eyes, Zhu Di suddenly felt helpless again.

Forget it, as long as they are happy.

Anyway, I can stay in Yingtian for several days, and it won’t be too late to teach Zhu Gaoyu a lesson then.

Doesn't he believe that his son can turn the world upside down under his control?
It’s not that I don’t want to report it, it’s that the time has not come yet.

……

Inside the mansion.

After Zhu Gaoyu finished reminiscing about the past, he suddenly remembered that there was one person he had not visited yet.

After thinking about it, he changed his steps, turned a corner and walked in another direction.

When they were almost at the door, Zhu Gaoyu started yelling:

"Master, Master! Here I come."

Walking into the courtyard, unlike the noisy voice of Zhu Gaoyu, it was extremely quiet here.

Sitting next to the stone table in the courtyard was a skinny old monk wearing a dark brown uniform and a light red cassock with black stripes.

In front of him was a cup of tea that had long since cooled, with fallen leaves dancing around him, and his temperament was peaceful and tranquil.

But when I looked again, I could find that the monk had a pair of inverted triangle eyes, which made him look inexplicably fierce.

It seems that this monk... doesn't seem like a serious monk.

For Zhu Gaoyu, this big monk was very familiar to him.

I heard from my mother that the monk followed my father to Peking as early as the 15th year of Hongwu, when Empress Ma died.

In addition, Zhu Gaoyu also knew that this great monk had a hobby that very few people knew about.

That is - chanting scriptures to Zhu Di.

The sutra that was recited was naturally not a serious scripture, but rather an advice to Zhu Di to rebel as soon as possible.

This person was none other than Monk Daoyan.

The footsteps in Daoyan's ears were getting closer and closer.

When Zhu Gaoyu saw that he had no desire to open his eyes, he started to talk nonsense again.

With Monk Daoyan's concentration, he naturally wouldn't get angry about such things.

But he still slowly opened his eyes and sighed slightly.

It is said that dogs dislike children aged seven or eight.

But why, even though Zhu Gaoyu hasn't reached that age yet, his nagging already makes people dislike him so much?

When Zhu Gaoyu saw that he had opened his eyes, he stood on tiptoe, sat down on the stone bench, and immediately began to speak eloquently:
"Master, you really should have come to Jinling with us. You don't know what I went through in Jinling."

"..."

"...When the Crown Prince was here, even my eldest and second brothers had to avoid him. My second brother was holding his breath, so when I showed up, I only used less than 10% of my strength to break the bow and arrow..."

"… and today, when Zhu Youqie was mocking my eldest brother, I went up to him and gave him a flying kick, followed by a left hook, an uppercut, and a lower hook! I beat him so hard that his mother couldn't recognize him!"

Daoyan smiled slightly:
"Your Highness, does your butt still hurt?" Zhu Gaoyu subconsciously covered his buttocks, remembering the scene in the Qianqing Palace when his father pressed him down and spanked him, and asked in horror:

"How did you know?"

Daoyan smiled slightly:
"It's calculated."

Zhu Gaoyu became curious instead:
"Master, you actually know these things. Why didn't I know this before?"

Daoyan slowly picked up the slightly cold tea on the stone table and took a sip. Then he put on airs and said leisurely:
“You never asked before.”

Before Zhu Gaoyu could finish his words, Daoyan suddenly smiled:
"I am not only good at fortune-telling, but also at physiognomy. Your Highness, do you want to know what your father's face looks like?"

When Zhu Gaoyu heard this, he immediately became excited.

He sat on the stone bench, twisted his buttocks, adjusted himself to a comfortable sitting position, then took off his shoes and crossed his legs on the stone bench, and immediately looked like he had mastered everything:

"Master, if you tell me about my father's face, I can know his fate. Why don't you try it?"

When Daoyan heard this, it was a little beyond his expectations. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, but the next moment, he became confident again.

According to his observation of Zhu Gaoyu, this kid has been studying travel notes, navigation and the like since he was a child, but he has never carefully studied books such as "Xiangshu", so it is impossible for him to come up with a correct answer.

However, when Daoyan saw Zhu Gaoyu's confident look, he couldn't help but feel a little confused, wondering where his confidence came from.

However, he did not think too much about it and quietly talked about Zhu Di's face, which also included some intentions of testing Zhu Gaoyu:

"The King of Yan has a high nose bridge and a forehead bone that is high in the middle and shaped like the sun..."

After all the long-winded words, Zhu Gaoyu didn't understand a single word.

But this did not prevent him from giving the correct answer.

When Monk Daoyan finished his last sentence, he looked at Zhu Gaoyu and said with a smile:
"Your Highness, have you come up with the answer?"

Through Zhu Gaoyu's performance just now, Daoyan has been able to confirm that this kid knows nothing at all.

Just to tease this guy, he asked this question on purpose.

Zhu Gaoyu glanced at Daoyan.

The monk has bad intentions.

But what about Zhu Gaoyu, especially the person who could be seen through by the big monk at a glance?
Zhu Gaoyu coughed twice and then spoke calmly:
"I know. It looks like the sun, like an emperor."

"Cough cough cough..."

As soon as Zhu Gaoyu finished speaking, a violent cough was heard.

But this time, it was not Zhu Gaoyu who was coughing, but the monk Daoyan sitting opposite him.

He was originally sipping tea and had no expectations for Zhu Gaoyu's answer.

However, after hearing Zhu Gaoyu say the correct answer so loudly, even Monk Daoyan couldn't help but choke on the slightly cold tea, and even coughed repeatedly, revealing a somewhat embarrassed look.

However, he quickly hid this embarrassment and picked up Zhu Gaoyu. He frowned and his expression was unpredictable. After staring for a long time, he actually laughed:
"Interesting, interesting. You are really interesting. I, the old monk, actually misjudged you before. You... are not simple."

When Zhu Gaoyu heard this, he did not feel happy at all, but instead acted as if it was his due.

"Master, your face-reading skills are not good enough. You have only discovered a person as extraordinary as me now."

Daoyan was silent for a while.

After a long while, he sighed:
"In the past, Emperor Gaozu of Han said to Han Xin that a true man who rules over the vassal states is a true king, so why pretend? Today, you are truly... carrying on Emperor Gaozu's legacy!"
