Chapter 2 Demonic Monk in Black

It's cool to scold him, but as the emperor, Zhu Di still has to solve the problem.

Tianjie Temple.

As the highest-level temple in the Ming Dynasty, Tianjie Temple, which is responsible for other temples in the Ming Dynasty, is large, but it is not as popular as one would think.

Just because this is the long-term residence of the monk Lu Si Zuo Shanshi, the prince and grand master, who is also known as the "Monk in Black" Yao Guangxiao.

"At this moment, Your Majesty should be in charge of the overall situation in the palace, instead of knocking wooden fish here with the poor monk."

Looking at Zhu Di who was pulling Buddhist beads and knocking on wooden fish, Yao Guangxiao was obviously not satisfied.

At the beginning, he strongly supported Zhu Di in revolting against Jingnan. Although he only did it for his own ambition, he did not want to see Zhu Di like this.

"Of course I know." Zhu Di sighed, his sigh full of... helplessness?

"I am just asking for peace and quiet here before the news has spread. When all the civil and military officials know that I am back, I will have no peace at all."

"Your Majesty, running away will not solve the problem." Yao Guangxiao has always been an unsmiling person, which was especially obvious after Zhu Di successfully ascended the throne.

"The sooner you think of a solution, the sooner you can solve it. Avoiding will not solve anything."

"Why don't I know..." Zhu Di was also upset. He kicked away the table with wooden fish in front of him and threw the beads in his hand aside.

It can be seen from this that Zhu Di does not believe in Buddhism, otherwise he would not be so disrespectful.

"Old monk, what do you think I should do?"

"After this battle, it is impossible not to fight back. But as I raise troops to quell Jingnan, the veteran general Qiu Fu who has never been defeated in his life has been defeated. Who else can I send?"

"Who can take on this important responsibility?"

Yao Guangxiao remained silent.

In fact, he knew that Zhu Di was upset and not helpless as he said.

Is there really no one left in the Ming Dynasty? Although the Ming Dynasty is not as famous as the Zhenguan period, there are still generals who are capable of important tasks.

Even if we exclude Zhang Fu, who is currently in Annan to conquer Chen Jikuo, can different generals like Liu Sheng, Chen Mao, and Zhu Yong be used?

Even if one person is not enough, wouldn’t it be enough if we add them all together?

Therefore, Zhu Di's problem is not actually a problem, and the reason why there is this problem is entirely because Zhu Di is confused.

In other words, Qiu Fu's failure made him doubt the Ming generals.

"Your Majesty, you'd better keep knocking."

…

After a long time, Yao Guangxiao could only hold back this sentence, but Zhu Di didn't know what to say for a moment.

Yao Guangxiao was actually right, because Zhu Di was upset. Although he did not believe in Buddhism, knocking on wooden fish and chanting sutras could calm him down, which was beneficial to Zhu Di.

But in fact, Zhu Di's heart was in chaos to the point of being irreconcilable, and the only way to relieve this mentality was a hearty victory.

Knocking on wooden fish? For Zhu Di now, the more he knocks, the more confused he becomes.

"Grandpa Huang..."

At this moment, a slightly younger voice broke the silence between Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao.

"Grandpa Huang, Xie Jin and others have learned about Grandpa Huang's return to Beijing. Father has sent people to invite Grandpa Huang to return to the palace."

At this time, Emperor Xuande, who was only ten years old, was still a little immature, but as the saying goes, you can see the success of a person when you see his spirit. At this time, Emperor Xuande already looked somewhat heroic.

After all, he was following Emperor Yongle on his northern tour of Shuntian Prefecture. Even if the previous time was not counted, what he witnessed and heard along the way was enough for him to learn a lot.

Zhu Di left the old monk behind, got up and took his eldest grandson away from Tianjie Temple.

At the same time, the Han Palace.

Zhu Zhanhe was practicing in the yard. Hearing the sounds coming from the backyard and feeling his father's complacency, Zhu Zhanhe couldn't help but curl his lips.

My father still fails to understand the situation and is still working tirelessly in the direction of Crock Pot Chicken.

What should I do?

Zhu Zhanhe was a little confused. He was only nine years old. Not to mention that he was not as valued as his cousin Zhu Zhanji, but that at his age and status, he was destined not to be valued.

Regardless of the success of the initial peace, when the old man sat on that chair, there was a strong clamor for Zhu Gaoxu to be crown prince, but in fact, the position of crown prince belongs to his uncle.

First of all, the old man was not in line of succession. All emperors in history who were not in line of succession were always very concerned about this kind of thing.

Regardless of what the old man said to the King of Han at the beginning, "The prince is very ill, so you should encourage him", but in fact, in the old man's heart, the eldest son Zhu Gaochi was the most suitable candidate to inherit his throne.

Secondly, Zhu Gaochi is much better than Zhu Gaoxu in terms of martial arts.

When it comes to becoming emperor, you don't have to know how to fight, because you can leave this kind of thing to the generals, but you have to know how to deal with politics.

If you are good at politics, you can manage officials well. If you manage officials well, you can manage and check and balance generals well. But if you are not good at politics, you will only be played around by civilian officials.

In the end, the selection of the crown prince was actually a transaction, a transaction between Emperor Yongle and the civil servants.

After conquering Yingtian City, in addition to Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng, the two chief culprits who suggested that Jianwen try to reduce the vassal state, Zhu Di also killed many civil servants, including the famous Fang Xiaoru.

The prince was fond of Confucianism, and his style was more like the kind of prince that civil servants liked. The king of Han was brave and brave but not resourceful. In order to stabilize the civil servants, Zhu Gaochi naturally became the crown prince.

But what troubles Zhu Zhanhe is that many people can understand this, but his own father cannot!

In fact, it’s no wonder. Look at the people around your father. Besides military generals, they are also military generals!

Among those warriors who only think about going into battle to kill the enemy and gain military merit, which one can be better than a civil servant in playing these dirty tricks?

no!

Zhu Zhanhe felt that he could no longer go on like this. Originally, he wanted to guide his father to the right path, at least not to become a crock pot chicken like in history, but now it seems that this is not possible.

At the very least, it is impossible to expect my father to wake up on his own. He has to think of other ways.

But... what should be done?

Zhu Zhanhe had a headache, but then he turned his attention to the backyard.

From the current point of view, it is not enough to work hard alone. At the very least, I need to make my father aware of some problems.

But the problem is that I am a straight-minded person. Although he is not stupid, his character can be said to be extremely bad due to his experiences in the early years and being in the military camp.

Although people shrank like a quail in front of the old man, in fact few people dared to give advice to the King of Han.

If you talk about the heart of Prince Han, you will be rewarded with a handful of golden beans, but if you talk about the pain...
