Chapter 124: Riding a tiger is hard to get off (2)
Zhu Yunwen sat quietly, with an elegant face.
Returning to Beijing? Well, I miss my two younger brothers. I wonder if they have grown taller or how their studies are going.
If possible, I would like to go to my mother's mausoleum to pay my respects. A few days before I became a father, I always dreamed of her!
After Lu's death, he was deprived of the crown princess. Zhu Yunwen could no longer call him mother in this life, but had to call him his biological mother.
Speaking of this, Zhu Yunwen sighed slightly. I still want to take a walk in the streets of the capital. I grew up in the palace, but I have never seen the capital of the Ming Dynasty!
Zhu Yunxi was a little surprised by this. He turned to look at Zhu Yunwen, "Is this what you want to do when you return to Beijing?"
That's all! Zhu Yunwen smiled again. Among the kings, I am a useless person. He is not the king of Sai who guards the border. He has no soldiers and power. He doesn't like pleasure or luxury. The major events in the world are like floating clouds to me. I just want to
Let nature take its course and live a stable life!
Hey! Zhu Yunxi sighed and smiled bitterly, but I'm afraid it may not be like this. Nine times out of ten things in the world are not what you want. The more you want to ask for something, the less you can get it. The more you hate something, the more you don't want it.
That way, it will become more like that.
Speaking of this, Zhu Yunxi's smile gradually grew stronger, as if he had heard someone say that when we grow up, we all live the way we hate the most!
Zhu Yunwen thought for a moment, he would do this if he asked for something, and if he didn't ask for anything, he would be indifferent!
Haha! Zhu Yunxi laughed loudly. Why do you sound like a monk when you speak now?
I would like to learn some Buddhist Dharma and cultivate my character in order to have peace of mind!
Does Buddhism have such wonderful effects?
Your Highness doesn’t believe it? Zhu Yunwen smiled and said, I know an old monk who practices the path of tranquility and distance. The temple where he lives is also somewhat quiet. If Your Highness is free, I will accompany you to sit in the temple and taste the new tea after last year’s rain.
!
Zhu Yunxi looked at him for a long time, okay! Why not go now? After driving all the way, Gu was really tired and wanted to find a quiet place to stay. Besides, these days, for some reason, Gu had a rage in his heart that could not be resolved! Maybe,
The quiet place you mentioned and the enlightened person you mentioned can resolve one or two problems!
As he finished speaking, there was suddenly no wind and rain falling outside the car window. In the bright afternoon sun, the clear trickle of raindrops fell on the stone slabs, outlining shallow traces.
Falling rain means spring, freehand and intoxicating. Willows rise with the wind, and noon seems like dusk.
The emperor's grandson came in person. The huge city of Huai'an was under martial law and the city was silent. To the surprise of Huai'an officials, the emperor's grandson did not go directly to the palace. Instead, he bypassed the Huai Prince's Mansion and went straight to the nearby temple.
Upon hearing that the emperor's grandson had arrived, several monks in the temple, led by Dao Jing, rushed out and prostrated respectfully outside the mountain gate.
The young monks and others are waiting to meet His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson. Your Highness is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!
Zhu Yunxi was in front and Zhu Yunwen was behind, slowly stepping out of the carriage.
Looking at the bald man kneeling on the ground in front of him, Zhu Yunxi turned around and said with a smile, is this the person you call the enlightened person? He kneels down very neatly!
Before Zhu Yunwen could speak, Dao Jing, who was stopped outside the guard, said, "The old monk should abide by secular laws in the world of mortals. Your Highness is the king, and the old monk is the people. The people kowtow to the king, and it is the law of the law. Only by observing the etiquette and laws can one achieve greatness!"
He is a sensible person! Zhu Yunxi laughed.
The Qingyou Ancient Temple immediately became noisy. Hundreds of elite guards rushed in and searched the ground. They even searched every monk. After repeated confirmation, they reported it to the grandson of the Ming Emperor.
Zhu Yunxi walked in with dozens of soldiers at his side. In the temple, the low buildings are hidden in the tall forest, as if they are integrated, but have a unique charm. There are moss and wild flowers everywhere at the foot of the forest, creating a natural beauty.
Take a deep breath of the slightly cool air, and feel indescribably comfortable in your chest and abdomen. Walking here can indeed make people feel peaceful and relax their brows.
What a pity! Zhu Yunxi said as he walked.
Beside him, Zhu Yunwen asked, why did His Highness say this?
Such a good place is like a paradise. We guests, dressed in armor and armed with swords, make a terrible sight! Saying that, touching the handle of Fu Rang's knife next to you, your murderous knife should not be here!
Dao Jing was made an exception and accompanied him. He stood half a step behind Zhu Yunwen, his hands hidden in the monk's robes and he could not suppress his trembling.
Your Highness, although this temple is small, it was built in the prosperous Tang Dynasty! The temple buildings have not changed at all for hundreds of years. During the Tang Dynasty, Buddhism flourished, and there were many temples in the east and west capitals.............
But after all, it did not protect the peace and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. The tombs of several emperors who believed in Buddhism were demolished! Zhu Yunxi interrupted the other party rudely and pointed to the front. There was a trickling spring in the forest. Is that a mountain spring?
Dao Jing smiled and said, that is a spontaneous well. Every spring since the Tang Dynasty, clear water will emerge from the well. The water is sweet and is the best for making tea...
..
Zhu Yunxi suddenly stopped, looked at Dao Jing, and said that you are an eminent monk who has transformed into a foreigner, and you are peaceful and far-reaching. Why do you have to deliberately say "good" every time you talk about something?
Dao Jing was suddenly embarrassed, forced a few laughs, and reported to His Highness, but it was good!
Since it is good, since you are Buddhist practitioners, why do you want to take advantage of it? Such beautiful scenery can only be used to build academies and provide tourists with entertainment. Zhu Yunxi sneered, but in your hearts,
There is greed!
This... Dao Jing was speechless on the spot.
He glanced at King Huai repeatedly, but the latter always smiled, as if he didn't notice his gaze.
If you have the Tao in your heart, you will practice Tao everywhere. If you don't have the Tao in your heart, you will insult the famous mountains and rivers and get the smell of copper. What is worse than the smell of copper is hypocrisy! Zhu Yunxi continued to move forward, being rude and harsh in his words.
.
As his junior brother said, this emperor's grandson has no monks in the world at all. If he really ascends the throne, monks like us will have no way to survive! Dao Jing is smiling on his face, but he is sneering in his heart. How can such a violent person stand up to the world?
Jun?
The temple is built against the mountain. Halfway up the mountain, the mountain road suddenly becomes narrower and steeper.
Your Highness is tired and wants to rest here for a while! Zhu Yunwen chuckled.
Zhu Yunxi nodded, okay! After saying that, he sat down on a stone bench and said, "I'm a little thirsty. Let's make some tea!"
Hearing this, Dao Jing was very happy. When he was busy, Your Highness stopped for a moment. The old monk asked his disciples to get you some water!
No need, I’ll take it with me by myself!
After Zhu Yunxi finished speaking, the bastard had already ordered the palace people to take out a simple clay stove and set it aside. At the same time, he took out two exquisite silver pots filled with water and prepared to boil water.
Dao Jing suddenly felt deeply annoyed and thought to himself, his junior brother made a mistake. He is the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty. The palace attendants who accompanied him had brought all the things he needed to eat, drink, and have a bowel movement. How could he drink the water outside?
Just when he thought everything was hopeless, Zhu Yunxi suddenly waved to the eunuch, opened the silver pot at his hand, and sniffed the water inside.
The water seems a little muddy! Zhu Yunxi frowned and said, smelling of filth!
Although the silver pot is good, it is trapped in water. The water from the ancient well in this temple is living water! Dao Jing was moved in his heart and quickly said that the clothes and etiquette of the Ming Dynasty were inherited from the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and boiling tea with living water is a legacy of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Your Highness...
...
Suddenly, Dao Jing couldn't speak anymore. She saw Zhu Yunxi's eyes looking at him with a half-smile but not a smile. Next to him, Zhu Yunwen was playing with a silver pot, seemingly staying out of the incident.
Okay! Zhu Yunxi suddenly smiled, use your water! Let me taste the flavor of the Tang Dynasty today!
Dao Jing's back was soaked with cold sweat. She suppressed the nervousness in her heart and turned to the two handsome novice monks outside and said, "Go get water for His Highness, please!"
The two young novices turned around and ran away, but as soon as they took a step, they were grabbed by the shoulders. Only two cold-faced guards were seen, looking at them coldly.
Little master, please slow down, I'll go with you later!
The young novice monk looked at their master, and then nodded in horror.
In the stone pavilion, Zhu Yunxi turned to Zhu Yunwen and asked, "I heard that you are in Huai'an and like to hang out with literati?"
It's just arty, otherwise it would be boring to death! Zhu Yunwen still played with the silver pot in his hand and said casually.
Since you like to socialize with literati, why not build an academy. The princes of our Zhu family are all good at riding and holding swords. You like literary things, so building an academy is a good idea! Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, the scenery here is very beautiful and antique.
, Refreshing the heart and mind. It is better to decree that this ancient temple be given to you as a separate courtyard. You bring people here every day, recite poems and write poems, that is truly elegant!
Haha! I thank you for your kindness! Zhu Yunwen smiled and said, but there is a master here, how can I steal love with a knife? As the saying goes, a melon that is twisted is not sweet!
You are dishonest. You agreed in your heart but said no! Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, you also gave birth to a son. He is Gu's nephew. Gu has not rewarded him with anything yet, so this is Gu's gift!
So, I thanked His Highness! Zhu Yunwen sat and cupped his hands, looked at the surrounding scenery, and said, in fact, if Your Highness is really willing to reward him. I dare you, what if Your Highness lets him herd horses in the frontier in the future? He shook his head, and so on.
Although the scenery is beautiful, the sun is blocked by trees. There are thousands of miles of frontiers there, and it is fun to gallop on horseback!
You are still tired of staying in Huai'an! Zhu Yunxi looked at him and smiled.
The two of them were chatting and laughing, and it seemed that they had a very close relationship as brothers, without any courtesy from the monarch or his ministers. The people around them listened with their hands down, expressionless.
Humph! If you want this ancient temple, I’m afraid you won’t be able to wait until that day!
Dao Jing sneered in his heart, as two young monks behind him had already come out of the forest with a copper pot filled with water.
