The second year after Zhu Zhanzhen went to join the feudal vassal, his fourth brother left. Because he died young, he was considered an early death, so there was no large-scale funeral. In ancient times, early death was an ominous sign.
Historically, Zhu Zhanyin should have lived to be 15 years old, but here he only lived to be 13 years old.
He had always been frail and sick, and Zhu Zhanchen recalled that he didn't actually get along with him that much. In the school, and when choosing maids, the fourth brother looked serious.
He was the most well-behaved among the brothers, with a rather scholarly demeanor. As the grandson of the emperor who died young, there is very little information about him in history.
His tomb is under the temple, and when Zhu Zhanzhen arrived, there was an eleven or twelve-year-old boy offering incense.
When they got closer, they thought they looked familiar. They looked at each other, scratched their heads and thought deeply, and then suddenly realized.
"Fifth brother?"
"Ninth brother?"
The boy was none other than Zhu Zhanzhen, the ninth younger brother of Zhu Zhanzhen, the ninth son of Zhu Gaochi. Zhu Zhanxian was only 5 years old when he set out to join the feudal clan. At that time, the boy with a chubby face already had a bit of heroic spirit between his eyebrows. .
Because his mother Guo Guifei was a timid and alert concubine, she knew that she kept her status low and had no desire to compete for favors. She was also very respectful in front of the crown princess. Zhu Zhanbian himself was also cute, so he often stayed with the crown princess when he was a child. In the courtyard is the little follower of Princess Jiaxing.
Zhu Zhanbian was supposed to be unknown. After all, he had no power and no achievements. However, in later generations, he relied on the virtue of loving his wife to leave his name in history.
The men in Lao Zhu's family have always been dedicated to love. This is a gene engraved in their bones. However, some are dedicated to one person, while others spread great love to the world.
"Ninth brother, why are you here?"
"Fifth brother, sister Jiaxing asked me to burn incense for fourth brother every month. Fourth brother looks quiet, but he actually likes the excitement. When the incense is cold, he is afraid that fourth brother will be lonely."
Little Jiaxing was quite interested, but not much. He asked his younger brother to come, but he didn't know where to go to play.
Zhu Gaochi gave birth to 10 sons, 9 of whom reached adulthood.
He was born into an imperial family, but his life and fortune were not good enough.
Zhu Zhanzhen took out a letter from his pocket. It was the only letter written by the fourth brother in the second year of his reign. He was also surprised that the fourth brother Menghulu would write to him, but after this letter The next time I received news, my fourth brother died of a sudden illness.
He opened the letter, and the fourth brother in the letter was full of envy for him. He envied him for being able to go out and join the feudal clan, envied him for being happy every day, and also hoped that he could go to Guangzhou Mansion to find some fun.
In a barren life, if you want to escape poverty, you can only fantasize about other people's lives.
Zhu Zhanzhen lit the letter.
"Fifth brother?"
"Now that you're gone, don't be obsessed with it. It's not a good idea to be reborn. I hope the fourth brother will be happier in his next life." Only then did Zhu Zhanchen remember that he had never seen his fourth brother smile happily.
After Zhu Zhanzhen paid homage to his fourth brother, he also wanted to pay homage to Master Yao Guangxiao.
In retrospect, before I set out to join the feudal clan, I should have expected that Master Yao Guangxiao said that he might not be seen again for a long, long time. The master is meant to make people guess, and you don’t know what he said. Can you really calculate it or just say it casually?
Zhu Zhanzhen followed Zhu Zhanzhen. This boy is actually more similar to the fourth brother back then. They are both weak-tempered children. In the royal family, such a character is destined not to be reused, but compared to the fourth brother, Zhu Zhanbian has one more Optimistic and cheerful.
Yao Guangxiao drove to Hexi in the third year of Zhu Zhanyi's reign. At that time, Zhu Zhanyi also thought about coming back to pay homage, but after much deliberation, he decided not to do it. Yao Guangxiao taught Zhu Zhanji before his death that if he returned specially Worshiping seems too intimate.
Before his death, Yao Guangxiao asked Zhu Di to release the monk Pu Qia, who was the chief recording monk of Emperor Jianwen.
When Zhu Di first entered Nanjing, some people said that Emperor Jianwen disguised himself as a monk and escaped, and Pu Qia knew about it. Others said that Emperor Jianwen was hiding in Pu Qia's home, and the emperor used this as an excuse to imprison Pu Qia.
I've been searching for it for nearly twenty years but still can't find it.
Yao Guangxiao asked Zhu Di to let Pu Qia go because he wanted Zhu Di to let go of this obsession. Emperor Yongle and the Ming Emperor were already orthodox.
He was given a posthumous title as a civil servant who promoted sincerity and assisted the country in coordinating Xuanli, and was promoted to Dr. Ronglu, Shangzhu State, and Duke of Rongguo. He was given the posthumous title of Gongjing and buried in the northeast of Fangshan County. He also personally wrote a Shinto inscription for him.
It can be said that this is the most honorable monk in history, and Yao Guangxiao is buried in the monk's etiquette in accordance with his last wish.
Now there is a plaque of Yao Guangxiao and a tomb in Qingshou Temple, where he can receive incense and worship.
Several people lit incense in front of the tomb, and a monk wearing precious robes and cassocks came over.
"Monk Yao Ji has met His Highness the Fifth, and His Highness the Ninth."
"Master, do you recognize me?"
"My father often mentioned His Highness when he was alive. If you see a young man with a tiger in his chest, soft brows, and a peerless handsome face, he will undoubtedly be the Fifth Highness."
Zhu Zhanzhen smiled slightly: "Master, I wonder who your father is?"
Yao Ji glanced at the tomb. He was Yao Guangxiao's adopted son.
After understanding clearly that he was not the monk's illegitimate son, Zhu Zhanchen dispelled his doubts.
Yao Ji invited people into the inner courtyard behind the temple, and then took out a letter and said: "My father left a letter to His Highness before he passed away, saying that if Your Highness comes to the temple, he will hand it to His Highness, and there is also a message.
"
Zhu Zhanzhen opened the wax-sealed letter, and after taking it out, he found a piece of white paper, as if he was looking at it and wondering if it was a wordless book from a martial arts novel.
After soaking it in water and lighting a fire, I discovered that it was just a piece of white paper, and it was now shattered into pieces.
"What's going on?"
Yao Ji didn't understand that he hadn't opened it yet, so he said, "There is still a message."
"What is it?"
"My father said that I wish His Highness to always have a pure heart. I also have this hundred-pin garment, which my father left behind as a gift to Your Highness."
Zhu Zhanzhen took over the small piece of robe, sewn from rags, with pieces here and there in tatters. He recalled that when he first met Master Yao Guangxiao, the master mentioned his title.
"Daoyan was given to him by the master monk. The little beggar who almost starved to death on the roadside got a livelihood and a way out with this name."
This hundred-year-old robe must be his way of survival as a little beggar.
"Always cherish the heart of an innocent child, and hope that the world will be unified." Zhu Zhanyi murmured to himself. No one else knew about the conversation between him and Yao Guangxiao.
Yao Guangxiao was helpless that Zhu Zhanyi was born a few years later, and Zhu Zhanji before him was so outstanding.
But maybe he is the only person in this world who can truly care about the world.
Zhu Zhanyang recalled the questions that Yao Guangxiao wanted to ask him but was rejected outright. But what questions would Yao Guangxiao ask him if he had not refused?
Do you want to be an emperor? Do you want to conquer the world? Such a straightforward question?
It shouldn't be the case. Yao Guangxiao has always been incomprehensible and unable to see through the reality.
"Hey, that's all. After my death, I hope Master can find peace. I should remember Master's teachings and I should always have an innocent heart."
Things are different, people are not the same, everything is not over, spring goes and winter comes, and autumn comes every year.
