Chapter 22 Escape

As soon as the get out of class time came, Zhu Zhanchen felt as if he was on the receiving end of a general amnesty. However, he had had enough sleep today, so he walked out.

A monk in black robes at the door was watching a group of royal grandsons go out with a slight smile. The people who usually come to this school are definitely not ordinary people.

Zhu Zhanyong whispered close to Zhu Zhanyong's ear and said: "Fifth brother, look at that monk, why doesn't he look like a good person?"

"Third brother, how did you see that?"

"How can any monk wear black clothes? And it's okay if he doesn't smile. If he smiles, it's simply treacherous."

"Third brother is really a wise man."

Zhu Zhanzhen did not expect that his third brother could see that the black-clad monk was treacherous.

Of course, he knew who the person in front of him was at the first glance. He was a monk, dressed in black, and could enter and exit the palace freely. Who else could he be besides Yao Guangxiao, the prime minister in black?

Yao Guangxiao is quite legendary in history. Generally speaking, prosperous dynasties will always have such people, such as Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang in the Tang Dynasty. In this dynasty, it is Liu Bowen and Yao Guangxiao.

Of course, unlike Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang who like to push each other's back, Liu Bowen and Yao Guangxiao have basically no connection, but they are both a little legendary in history.

This legendary color is a bit similar to the world where everyone else is a martial artist, but you are the only one who is cultivating immortality, and you have become famous.

Zhu Zhanchen looked at him and thought he was here for himself, but he passed by him without looking back and was about to leave at a trot.

Yao Guangxiao was shocked and shouted: "Fifth Young Master."

Zhu Zhanzhen stopped and turned around to salute respectfully: "Master."

Yao Guangxiao stepped forward slowly: "Master, do you recognize me?"

"In the palace, you can walk to the place where the emperor's grandchildren study. The monk dressed in black must be Master Yao Guangxiao."

"Since the young master recognized me, why did he have to leave after trotting all the way?"

"I didn't know that the master was here to find me, so he left by himself."

Yao Guangxiao smiled: "I think the young master left because he realized that I came to look for you."

Zhu Zhanzhen chuckled: "Master is looking for me. If it's a good thing, I won't leave."

After a few short conversations, Yao Guangxiao was even more surprised and couldn't help but say: "Young Master is talented and intelligent. I have seen countless people in my life."

"I dare not accept such praise from the master."

Yao Guangxiao became very interested in Zhu Zhanzhen. This child was not timid, smart, flexible, and not pedantic. As outsiders said, the Fifth Young Master had a perverse personality, but in Yao Guangxiao's eyes, this perverseness was enough.

precious.

There are so many corrupt scholars in the world, and many of them are willing to die for the country. They are respectable and fearful. But if there are only these people in the world, the Ming Dynasty can only be strong for a short time.

The reason why Yao Guangxiao's eyes light up about Zhu Zhanyang is that he is young, born in a noble imperial family, smart, extremely smart, and his ideas are different from ordinary people and beneficial to the country. Such people are innovative people.

It's just that one has to investigate whether one's nature is good or evil. Good is a great good and evil is a great evil. His identity determines that he cannot be an ordinary person.

Yao Guangxiao laughed. Of course the third brother was right. He looked more evil when he smiled than when he didn't smile. He didn't look like a good person anyway.

"Fifth Young Master, could you please invite me to sit in your courtyard and have a cup of tea?"

"Master, please."

In the small courtyard, Jixiang Fugui was very curious when he saw the young master bringing back a monk in black. Seeing that Xiaosheng had good eyesight, he hurriedly ordered people to guard him to prevent anyone from entering the courtyard casually.

"Do you recognize me?" Yao Guangxiao asked the young man who brought tea.

Xiaosheng hurriedly knelt down and said respectfully: "Young Master, I am the adopted son of Eunuch Hou Xian. I have seen you from a distance."

Hou Xian was also a eunuch in the palace and followed Zheng He on his voyages to the West.

Yao Guangxiao nodded slightly: "You have good eyesight, do you know why I am looking for your son?"

Xiaosheng bowed slightly and stepped back. He closed the door and said, "Master, how can we slaves dare to ask more questions about you and the young master?"

Only Yao Guangxiao and Zhu Zhanyi were left in the room. Yao Guangxiao said first: "The little eunuch you have here is pretty good, he has a good sense and knows how to do things."

"Master, take a sip of tea first."

Yao Guangxiao took a sip of tea: "The tea is good, but the skill of making tea is a bit lacking."

"The master is an elegant person who has passed away from this world. I am just a layman. Master, don't despise him."

Yao Guangxiao felt that the nine-year-old child in front of him had a much older mental age than his physical age.

"Fifth Young Master, I have something to say. I want to ask Fifth Young Master directly. I may be presumptuous, but Young Master will mind."

Zhu Zhanchen took a sip of tea and said calmly: "I don't mind."

Yao Guangxiao was stunned. This time he acted out of common sense and blocked his words. Zhu Zhanzhen continued: "Master, since it is presumptuous, there is no need to ask. Master, do you want to embarrass a child like me?"

"Young Master's precocious intelligence is far superior to that of his peers. Even a literary scholar in his twenties may not be able to compare with Young Master."

"Master is so complimentary."

Yao Guangxiao burst into laughter: "Interesting, interesting. Since the young master is not allowed to ask, I will not ask you any questions. Let me ask you a common question. Do you trust the young master?"

"Can I say I don't believe it?"

"Of course it's possible, even I don't believe it."

Zhu Zhanyi looked at Yao Guangxiao in disbelief: "Master, you are a monk, how can you not believe in Buddhism?"

"Who says a monk must believe in Buddhism? It's just to make a living." Yao Guangxiao didn't care.

Zhu Zhanzhen found it funny that a monk did not believe in Buddhism, so he asked: "Master, what do you believe in?"

Yao Guangxiao picked up the tea cup and refilled himself with a cup of tea. He took a sip and still had a somewhat dissatisfied expression. However, with a slight smile on his face, he did not answer Zhu Zhanzhen's question but asked another question.

: "Master, do you know my Dharma name?"

"The master's dharma name is Daoyan, he is also called Du'an Taoist, and he is also called Fleeing Xuzi."

Yao Guangxiao was quite satisfied: "Daoyan was given by the master monk. The little beggar who almost starved to death on the roadside got this name and had a livelihood and a way to live. Taoist Du'an later became a disciple of Taoist Master Ziyangzi."

Yes, I am the only one who started it myself."

"It sounds like Master's favorite is the title of Fu Xuzi." Zhu Zhanchen heard the importance of Yao Guangxiao's words.

"Young Master is observant of every detail, and can detect the difference in the tone of the poor monk's words, as well as the meaning. He is smart in his heart and sensitive in his heart."

As soon as Yao Guangxiao said these words, it was Zhu Zhanzhen's turn to be surprised. As a social animal, what he disliked most was observing people's emotions and had no ability to do so. However, when he came to this world, he became good at it. If Yao Guangxiao hadn't mentioned him

I can't even notice it myself.

Isn't my gift just a photographic memory?

There was a doubt in his mind, but before he had time to think about it, Yao Guangxiao's question came again: "Young Master, my name is Fuxuzi. Do you know what Fuxu is?"

Zhu Zhanchen shook his head, he really didn't know this.

"People say that fleeing is a way to escape the world and seek purity and no desires. But everyone knows that I follow His Majesty Jingnan and participate in the world's affairs, so the title of fleeing is false." Yao Guangxiao laughed at himself.

"I guess the meaning of "Fuxu" in the master's name is not this."

Yao Guangxiao nodded with satisfaction: "Escape from the emptiness and live up to the truth. This is the dharma title of the poor monk."

"Just the truth, what do you mean by the truth?" Zhu Zhanchen murmured.

"Buddha never looks at the world. Buddha is imaginary and man is real. The poor monk just wants to escape from emptiness and find reality."
