Chapter 157 The school exam has never stopped

Finally, I waited for the opportunity to pay homage to His Royal Highness the Emperor. Daoyan was even a little melancholy and confused for a moment.

Five years ago, he was still in Peking five years ago and had a great time with His Highness Yan. Although he was only the abbot of Qingshou Temple at that time, he could often go to and from the Yan Palace.

But with a decree, he left Peking. His Royal Highness the Emperor asked him to preside over Longxing Temple, which was just a polite statement. He has been idle for so many years and is practicing in the Tianjie Temple.

However, such a Taoyan is not like an ordinary monk. It is also beneficial in Yingtian Prefecture. It can interact with Taoist and Confucian celebrities. Daoyan, who is proficient in the three religions, feels that his knowledge has also improved more.

I occasionally see the crown prince once or twice, but I don’t have the chance to talk in depth. The crown prince doesn’t seem to have to pay attention to his appearance.

All of this also made Daoyan feel sorry for him. Now he seems to be free and comfortable in Yingtian Mansion, but he is far less comfortable than in Peking.

But the ambitions in my heart may never be able to display. This is also the fact that Daoyan sometimes sighs that he was born at the wrong time. He has reached the age of knowing destiny, and perhaps he can only become a somewhat strange monk in the temple.

/p>

Daoyan sorted out the monk's robe and entered the palace under the guidance of the little eunuch. "My minister, Daoyan, come to see His Royal Highness, His Highness Qianqiu."

Zhu Xiongying raised his head and asked with a smile, "Secretary? Master shouldn't call himself a minister like this, how can he call himself a minister?"

Daoyan immediately replied decisively, "I once entered the Ministry of Rites to take the exam, and once the monk Lusi Youjueyi came back. You Shan Shizong recommended him to enter the Tianjie Temple and plan a monk's position. It is also necessary to call himself a minister."

Looking at the monk with the triangle eye, Zhu Xiongying asked with a smile, "You have some reputation and are proficient in the teachings of the Three Churches. My fourth uncle also said that you are good at learning and good at strategy. Master, I am just strange. According to your age

, In the early years, he joined the emperor's grandfather and said that he could be granted a title of marquis and generals, and his reputation spread throughout the world."

Daoyan said calmly, "Your Highness praised me for being a foolish person, who was originally a fool, was wandering around in his early years. Although he had the will to serve the Holy Lord, his talent and knowledge were limited. Your Majesty's famous ministers are like this, and I dare not compare them."

In fact, this is the truth. Although Daoyan is a little younger than Lao Zhu, when he was studying, Lao Zhu had already taken Yingtian Mansion as the foundation. He also had civil officials such as Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen, Wang Guangyang, etc. under his command.

At that time it was really nothing.

What's more, Daoyan also felt that the skills he had learned did not seem to have much effect in front of Emperor Hongwu.

What he expects is to show his strengths and not care about official titles and fame.

Emperor Hongwu, this is not the wise master in Daoyan's eyes. At least under the command of Emperor Hongwu, he has nowhere to display his abilities.

Looking at Daoyan, Zhu Xiongying asked with a smile, "I remember asking you before, what is my face? Does the monk have any words now?"

Daoyan continued to stick to his own statement, "Your Highness atones for his sins, and I am not good at meeting each other. I visited Songshan Temple in my early years and had a close friendship with the minister Yuan Gong. His skills are also known to everyone in the world."

Zhu Xiongying ignored it and looked at Daoyan and asked, "The monk is proficient in the teachings of the three religions. If he is only for ordinary monks, can he be willing?"

Daoyan actually cares about the identity of the children of Buddhism. Even though some of his ambitions are somewhat incompatible with those of the children of Buddhism, this does not mean that Daoyan wants to return to secular life. He still wants to return to the temple to recite scriptures after displaying his strengths.

Buddha.

Seeing Daoyan's appearance, Zhu Xiongying also smiled and said, "My grandfather was trying to clean up the temples in his early years. When I was young, I didn't know much about it. I thought this monk was still a bit good. I think you are here too.

I know that I once ordered people to find the sloppy Taoist, but he didn't want to go to Beijing, that's fine."

Daoyan just listened quietly. He had heard of these things. When he was called back from the Yan Prince's Mansion to Tianfu, the crown prince seemed to be looking for the sloppy Taoist Zhang Sanfeng, but Zhang Sanfeng was unwilling to enter the capital.

p>

Zhu Xiongying smiled and said, "He opened a temple in Wudang Mountain, so I don't bother to pay attention to it. That person worships the Zhenwu God, which is a good thing. But he claims to be the old man of Dayuan, but he preaches in my Ming Dynasty.

Is this funny?”

Zhang Sanfeng became even more famous afterwards, but he actually has a lot of fame now. Otherwise, Lao Zhu would not have been summoned by someone. But this Taoist priest who claimed to be the "Da Yuan Literary" may not be able to favor the Ming Dynasty.

Wudang Mountain is now quite famous and is considered a blessing in Taoism. However, Wudang Mountain is not a Taoist holy land recognized by later generations.

Wudang Mountain was listed as the ninth place in the "Seventy-Two Blessings" in the Tang Dynasty. During the Yuan Dynasty, Yuan Chengzong was named "Wudang Blessings". It was also the emperor after Zhu Di became an emperor in history, and believed that it was blessed by the True Wu God.

Therefore, it began to overhaul Wudang Mountain and personally named Wudang as the "Dayue", making Wu's local position higher than the Five Mountains.

At that time, there was a saying that the Forbidden City was built in the north and the Wudang was built in the south. It was also the beginning of Zhu Di, and the status of Wudang Mountain began to become noble.

Zhu Xiongying looked at Daoyan with a smile and said, "The Zhang family in Tianshi Mansion is in charge of Taoist affairs. This survivor of Dayuan is taught by this survivor. Do you think you are loyal to Dayuan or to Daming? Or is it a Taoist cultivation of one's own character and can fast and drink morning dew?

”

Daoyan heard it a little cold in the back of his neck. Although the Emperor's grandson's extremely angry face had a smile, his words were all cold.

However, Zhang Sanfeng claimed to be a remnant of the Yuan Dynasty and refused to go to Beijing. The crown prince wanted to cut off the inheritance of the Wudang Sect, which made Zhang Sanfeng's newly founded Wudang Sect no longer have successors and are not recognized by the court and Taoism!

His Highness of the King of Yan said in his early years that the prince was kind and decisive in private. Now let’s look at His Highness’s domineering and cruelty, or far superior to the prince, this is chasing Emperor Hongwu. Even compared to Emperor Hongwu, the grandson seems to be even more powerful.

Revenge!

Meeting such a cruel and domineering crown prince may not be a good thing for many people. But for some people, such a lord may give them more opportunities to display their talents.

Looking at Daoyan with a smile, Zhu Xiongying said, "Monk, I think you are a capable person. I feel that with your talent and ability, you can't just be a monk. Go back and think about it carefully. Is this planning to be in the temple?

If you knock on wooden fish for a lifetime, you will still show your strengths. Even if you are criticized by thousands of people, you will be willing to do whatever you want!"

Zhu Xiongying's bewitching words made Daoyan's heart thrill. He admitted that he was moved, but he didn't dare to agree rashly now.

After just a few simple conversations, Dao Yan thought he didn't know the crown prince yet. But he was even more confused. It seemed that just a few conversations, His Royal Highness seemed to have recognized that he had some ability, and that kind of

Can control the world's great skills.

Daoyan didn't even have more chances to express his opinion, because the emperor's grandson had already shown his unwillingness to continue the conversation. Or the emperor's grandson was just simply informing some things this time, which obviously was not in harmony with Dao.

Discussion.

Daoyan really needs to think carefully. If he meets the crown prince again next time, he must have some explanations.

Or you should also think about it carefully when you go back, think about what your Highness might explain him, and think about where what you have learned can come in handy.

Not right, what I am best at is not important or applicable to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Yes, in these simple conversations, how could Your Highness know his true skills? At most, he thought that he was proficient in the Three Deeds, rather than thinking about those unrealistic things.

Zhu Xiongying doesn't care what Daoyan would think. He is not so considerate and there is no need to be so considerate. It is enough to let the bottom line do what he explains. These are the most important things.

As superiors, giving the people under their command the opportunity to display their talents and allow them to contribute to the development of the Ming Dynasty in the most appropriate position. These seem to be enough, and these are the most important things. Others don't have to worry about them.

.

There may be a little bit of domineering, but who made Zhu Xiongying a superior person born!

Song Zhong also sent some reports at this time, which was actually a series of useful information obtained by the Jinyiwei through various means.

It can be a letter or a secret letter, or a part of the confession. It is difficult to distinguish between true and false here, but basically it is the useful information obtained from the princes and nobles of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, which is in line with the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Required information.

Things are that simple. Zhu Xiongying looked at these letters and nodded with satisfaction.

The Jinyiwei is indeed professional. Over the years, they have made a lot of forgery of various evidence, and they are also very skilled in some unjust, false and wrong cases. But now, they are naturally the director's strengths. These are indeed their extremely professional and specialized.

Although some evidence may be far-fetched and even makes people laugh, those are not important. The emperor believes that these evidences are sufficient, so it is obviously enough. The so-called fairness, etc., are relatively limited. Facing the imperial power

At the time, don't be so naive that there is absolute fairness and justice.

Zhu Xiongying is not that naive, and I guess some high-ranking officials and nobles will also have such awareness.

It seems that the New Year is over, and some major cases will inevitably happen in the next period of time. However, all of this is what Zhu Xiongying expected, and it has been planned for a long time. Now it is time to fully unfold.

.

That's the matter, Zhu Xiongying can only be regarded as a small help in this matter. This matter was arranged and laid out by Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao. It was normal to successfully execute it at this time.

Something is going on.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, the Crown Prince has an order." Song Zhong spoke carefully and said, "Let Your Highness circle out the leader of the Hu traitor party."
