Chapter 483: Prince Consort, Detached
Tianjie Temple.
All the monks were assigned to several princes, among whom only Zhu Di was the most compatible with Dao Yan.
The two of them had already started chatting. The Taoist scholar had extensive knowledge from ancient times to the present, and had dabbled in all three religions: Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism. Zhu Di soon became familiar with him.
"Master monk, you are indeed very knowledgeable, but compared to your brother-in-law, you are still so far behind!"
Zhu Di had a young mind, and in his mind Yue Lin was obviously the most knowledgeable person in the entire Ming Dynasty.
"What His Highness King Yan said is true. A poor monk cannot compare with the Prince Consort."
"I would imagine that at such an age, the Prince Consort is already a fifth-grade Hanlin scholar. He even pacified Annan, attacked Luoce by surprise, and made great military exploits."
"The poor monk is still doing nothing and wandering around the world at this age."
Seeing Dao Yan's emotion, Zhu Di smiled and said: "What's the point? Just stay in Tianjie Temple. When I go to seize the vassal, I will take you away!"
Dao Yan was a little touched in his heart. He had never looked down upon the King of Yan just because Zhu Di was a young man.
On the contrary, he can be approachable and courteous to the corporal, and he will never be a thing in the pool in the future.
Looking at the attitudes of Zhu Xi and Zhu Fan towards the monks and officials, there is a world of difference.
"Master, can you lend me a moment to speak?"
Dao Yan did not expect that Yue Lin would take the initiative to speak, and then clasped his hands together and said: "My prince consort invites me, it is a great honor for this poor monk."
The two came to an ancient tree, and Dao Yan carefully poured tea for Yue Lin.
"The poor monk has something unclear."
"Master, just say it doesn't matter."
Yue Lin took a sip of tea. This Tianjie Temple is now in charge of the monks and nuns in the world.
Those who can enter this place and become monks and officials are all outstanding talents.
Especially the guy in front of me was proficient in Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and was called the "Prime Minister in Black" by later generations!
"The prince-in-law seems to be a carefree man, not greedy for power, but every time the Ming Dynasty went to war, the prince-in-law was always able to make great achievements."
"After his meritorious service, the prince-in-law returned to the court and hid in the abyss again, which puzzled the poor monk."
"The poor monk thinks that he is already a very cautious person. Compared with the prince-in-law, he is still a little behind."
Dao Yan's sharp eyes looked at Yue Lin, which was completely different from the kind-hearted look he had just faced Zhu Di.
Yue Lin still holds the tea cup. Now he has experienced countless wars and is wandering between life and death.
An old monk simply cannot overpower him in terms of momentum.
"I am a madman of Chu, and Feng Ge laughs at Jiuqiu! But as a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, when the country is in trouble, how can I hide in a temple to ring the bell and chant the Buddha's name?"
As soon as Yue Lin said this, Dao Yan blushed. This was clearly a mockery of him who only knew how to talk but not to do anything.
"As for returning to the court? I don't have the so-called talent for governing the country. The most important thing is self-awareness. Professional matters should be left to professionals."
"The so-called dragon lurking in the abyss is far less important to me than working nine to five and getting off work on time."
"I am really careful. After all, I still can't let the two princesses know about my trip to Qinhuai Boat Boat."
Yue Lin made a silent gesture and said with a smile: "Master knows my secret, so he won't tell anyone, right?"
Monk Dao Yan blushed. He was still a boy in his life and could not hear about the place where Qin Huai painted boats.
After all, this old guy has not yet entered Prince Yan's palace and has not become the feared prime minister in black.
"Don't worry, Prince Consort, I will definitely not talk nonsense!"
"That's good! But I also know a secret of the master."
Yue Lin walked towards Dao Yan, and when they met each other, he warned softly: "It's best not to wear white hats casually on others."
"If there is turmoil in the country in the future, I, Yue Lin, will kill you, a bald donkey, even if I risk my life!"
Unknowingly, Yue Lin already possessed the killing spirit on the battlefield.
Dao Yan took two steps back unconsciously, sweat dripping from his forehead.
I don’t know why Yue Lin knew his wishful thinking.
"Prince-in-law..."
"No need to say much, I just want to see how you do it."
After Yue Lin finished speaking, he walked directly to the Main Hall without saying any more words.
Zhu Yuanzhang and others had already finished worshiping the Buddha, and Zhu Xi and Zhu Fan were yawning continuously.
The two princes, who had no connection with Buddhism, only became more and more sleepy when they heard the whispering Sanskrit sounds.
Zhu Di stood beside his father and mother, and followed them to worship the Buddha.
"Fourth, do you know why we offer incense to that Buddha?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw his second son and third son like this, he shook his head helplessly and sighed. Fortunately, Zhu Di was still with him.
Zhu Ji had already escaped and was diagnosing the pulse of the monks.
"Father, you don't believe in the gods and Buddhas all over the sky! You once became a monk at Huangjue Temple, and I guess you should be repaying the temple for the grace of living."
Zhu Yuanzhang was greatly shocked. In the past, he had brought Zhu Biao to worship Buddha and had asked the same question.
Unfortunately, the prince was kind-hearted by nature, so the answer was not what Emperor Hongwu had in mind.
On the contrary, it was Yan Wang Zhu Di's answer that made Zhu Yuanzhang very satisfied.
"That's right! If the gods and Buddhas in the sky were useful, how could our land in China be occupied by the Mongolian Tatars?"
"Shenzhou Luchen, ordinary people died! We have never believed in Buddhism, but we must repay our kindness. Huangjue Temple allows us to live, so we will offer incense to the Buddha."
"Fourth, please remember! At any time, the only one you can trust is yourself!"
Zhu Yuanzhang rarely touched Zhu Di's head, his eyes filled with relief.
"Fourth child, you have to learn from Wang Baobao! Learn all his art of war!"
"In the future, we will let you station in Peiping and give you all Tumut's troops and horses!"
"Our son will definitely become a talented person who can defend the great world!"
Zhu Di was very excited, but Zhu Yuanzhang's next words made him feel a little cold.
"You should help your brother more!"
"He sits in Jinling, and you rule the four directions!"
"Our Ming Dynasty can last forever!"
Qiu Qianshi? Are we just tools to help Big Brother rule the world?
Zhu Di had doubts for the first time, but he did not have the courage to ask his father, so he just hid the question in his heart.
"Get off and drive back to the palace!"
Zhu Yuanzhang gave an order and everyone left Tianjie Temple.
During this trip, Zhu Di gained a lot. He met someone who could change his life.
Yue Lin looked sad. According to the course of history, Zhu Biao's son Zhu Yunwen would have to fight Zhu Di sooner or later.
The palms and backs of your hands are all flesh, what choice will you make then?
"Xian son-in-law, you seem a little worried today?"
Empress Ma expressed concern: "If anything happens, just tell the queen mother."
Yue Lin bowed his hands and said, "I'm going back to my mother. I just didn't have a good rest last night. I'm sorry for bothering my mother."
When Queen Ma heard this, she looked like she understood.
"You young people are full of blood, but you must also know how to exercise restraint and not be greedy and greedy."
"By the way, dear son-in-law, my mother has arranged for a royal doctor to diagnose your pulse. Go back and have a good look with Yingrao and Minmin!"
Queen Ma's meaningful smile made Yue Lin a little confused.
