After hearing Zhu Wanjian's words, Xiaoqi's expression changed immediately: "Then should Zhu Qianhu immediately notify the family to stop making glass beads?"
Zhu Wanhong sneered: "The Zhu family finally found a chance to turn around. They made a lot of money. What's the use of reminding me? First, King Xing personally reported that I was released to Anlu and temporarily took over the post of Qianhu. In the past two years, Zhu Wanhong
The Zhu family failed to do anything in monitoring the affairs of Prince Xing's Mansion, and when they added the matter of 'delivering' glazed beads to Prince Xing's Mansion today, the Zhu family really failed to live up to the court's expectations step by step. Perhaps after the old man's death, this family... is almost over.
!”
Xiaoqi was very touched after hearing this. She felt the Zhu family's fate and sighed: "It's all the conspiracy of Prince Xing's Mansion!"
"Tch, Prince Xing's Mansion? I don't think it's possible that Prince Xing's Mansion will cause trouble for him? It seems like someone is behind it to add fuel to the flames..."
Zhu Wanhong said, stood up from the edge of the well and walked towards the house.
"Zhu Qianhu, what are your plans now?"
Xiaoqi hurriedly asked for instructions.
"No plans...sleep! So sleepy!"
Zhu Wanhong yawned and said.
Xiaoqi was a little speechless.
You were chatting with me for a long time just now, and I thought you had already raised your fighting spirit and wanted to serve the imperial court till death, but in the end you felt sleepy and wanted to sleep?
"Prince Xing's Mansion is really full of talented people... My Zhu family is also full of talented people. My eldest nephew is really a young and talented man. It seems that I should find an opportunity to pay him a visit. Haha..."
After Zhu Wanhong finished speaking, he entered the house.
Not long after, thunderous snoring came from inside.
…
…
In the blink of an eye, it is the twelfth year of Zhengde.
During the first month of the year, Zhu Hao was at home on vacation and occasionally went to the palace. Now he was like half of the palace's staff, he could come and go whenever he wanted.
The tenth day of the first lunar month.
After Zhu Hao and Shopkeeper Ma discussed the matter of producing the cloth, he just returned to the palace when he saw Tang Yin and Lu Song talking at the door.
"Just as we were talking about him, he came. Zhu Hao, come here."
Tang Yin called Zhu Hao to his side and took out a letter.
Zhu Hao asked: "What is this?"
Tang Yin did not shy away from Lu Song, and looked a little puzzled: "Early this morning, someone came to my house to deliver this letter, indicating that it was for you... The letter was not sealed. I opened it and looked at it. It only said 'Old friend in the afternoon'.
Who gave you the words "Meet to Baoen Temple"?"
Zhu Hao took it over and opened it and looked at it. The writing on it was very poor. It looked like someone was trying to cover up the handwriting deliberately.
Lu Song said: "These people may have some conspiracy against the people in my palace...or maybe the Jiangxi bandits are secretly retaliating. That's why Mr. Tang came to me and hoped to send someone to go with you."
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "No need, it should be my uncle who wants to see me."
"What?"
Not only Tang Yin was surprised, Lu Song was also really surprised.
Tang Yin frowned: "Do you know your uncle's calligraphy? He is a member of the Imperial Guard Qianhu. As usual, he must be proficient in calligraphy. This calligraphy... doesn't look like it was written by a serious person."
Zhu Hao couldn't help but glance at Lu Song.
Lu Song's eyes were a little evasive.
When Lin Baihu was in Anlu, he suffered a lot from being a double-dealer. Now it was Zhu Wanhong's turn to be responsible for monitoring the affairs of Prince Xing's Mansion in Anlu. He had almost forgotten that he was a spy placed in the Prince's Mansion by Jin Yiwei.
Now that Zhu Wanhong suddenly came back, he was naturally frightened.
"My guess."
Zhu Hao said, "I am a child and I don't know many people. I sent a letter to Mr. Tang's house saying that he was looking for me... I have only seen this kind of mysterious technique from my uncle before, so I made this assumption."
."
Tang Yin thought for a while and couldn't help but nodded: "It makes sense."
Tang Yin is not a fool. After thinking about it for a moment, it seems that Zhu Wanhong likes to play tricks when he has nothing to do. The previous "accidental encounter" with Zhu Wanhong was obviously carefully planned by Zhu Wanhong.
"Then are you going?" Tang Yin asked.
"Go, why don't Mr. Tang come with me, just to see what my uncle is up to... Why don't you also come with Lu Dianzhan?" Zhu Hao smiled and extended the invitation.
Lu Song thought for a moment, feeling a little wary, but he didn't dare to behave strangely in front of Tang Yin. He saluted and said, "It is the duty of the humble official to protect the safety of the two of them. Let me make some preparations in advance."
…
…
Zhu Hao went to the appointment with the mysterious man and brought Tang Yin and Lu Song with him.
Lu Song did not bring the palace guards with him because he was afraid that Zhu Wanhong would say something bad to his face and it would spread to the ears of the palace's senior officials.
However, Tang Yin was cautious and brought two servants with him, and Zhu Hao also brought a few nurses with him... This was to prevent Zhu Wanhong from deliberately setting a trap and getting the whole pot.
"Don't worry too much about this temple place. I don't believe your uncle dares to mess around here!"
Tang Yin saw that the gate of Baoen Temple had been renovated by Zhang Yezheng, the local magistrate. It was full of grandeur and incense. There was an endless stream of believers who came to offer incense in the first month.
Several people went up the steps of Baoen Temple together. Before they entered the temple, they saw a burly man walking out of the gate. Although he was not wearing clothes that represented his identity, it was clear that his temperament was very different from ordinary people.
It should be Jin Yiwei.
"How many of you are here by invitation? Do you have any invitations?" the man asked directly.
When Tang Yin was curious about why the other party knew him, Zhu Hao walked over and handed over the letter. After reading it, the other party made an invitation gesture: "Come this way."
Several people followed this person to the backyard of Baoen Temple.
Tang Yin slowed down, deliberately delayed, and asked in a low voice: "Why do you think he recognized us?"
Zhu Hao said flatly: "You think my uncle is going to check your details on his own? Every move you make in Anlu, Mr. Tang, is probably under the surveillance of his people, but you just don't know it."
"hiss……"
Tang Yin felt a chill running down his spine after hearing this.
Even Lu Song on the other side looked cautious. He had looked down upon Zhu Wanhong too much in the past and felt that he was a maverick. He said he was returning to Anlu to monitor Prince Xing's Mansion, but he had not been seen for two years and had not seen him cause any trouble.
When he has given up his errand.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Wanhong has always stayed in Anlu. In order to prevent those "pig teammates" from the Zhu family from affecting his errands, he did not even contact his family. His wife, children, and children could not find his whereabouts.
The stronger the enemy, the greater the deterrence.
Tang Yin and Lu Song were both afraid that their whereabouts and background would be leaked, so they both had some fears.
Tang Yin was afraid that Prince Ning would pursue him, while Lu Song was afraid that his undercover identity would be exposed.
…
…
The backyard of Baoen Temple.
Even in winter, the green pine forest planted all over the backyard stands tall, and you can still see a touch of green in the winter.
Compared with the hustle and bustle of the front yard, it seems extremely quiet. Only the occasional sound of Buddhist sermons can be heard, and the occasional clear ringing of bells during pauses in sermons... Compared with the noise on the street outside, this place seems like
It is a paradise-like existence.
A few people entered the backyard door and saw a man kneeling there on the open-air Buddhist altar with his hair disheveled, his hands clasped together, and he was wearing a nondescript gray straight jacket.
An eminent monk sat cross-legged in front of this person, as if giving him lectures and enlightenment.
"What the abbot said is the truth. There is no intention, no disease, no dirt, no dirt... People in the world of mortals still have worldly affairs in the world of mortals. I thank the abbot for his guidance, and please go back first, so that people in the world of mortals can finish their affairs in the world of mortals..." Even if this person has betrayed the world behind his back.
Opposite the door, one can tell from the voice of his voice that it is Zhu Wanhong himself.
The eminent monk stood up and turned around to go to the Buddhist hall.
At this time, the person who led the way passed to pass the news. Zhu Wanhong stood up, turned around, and nodded to the people at the door with an enigmatic look.
Tang Yin and Lu Song looked at each other and both felt that Zhu Wanhong was just showing off.
Then several people went up to the Buddhist altar. Lu Song was about to take off his boots when Zhu Wanhong stretched out his hand to stop him: "No need to be polite. You are just like me. You are all human beings. You just need to be clean in your heart. By the way, Zhu Hao, you know what I said before
What is it?"
Tang Yin and Lu Song both frowned secretly.
Zhu Hao smiled and sat down on the futon and said with a smile: "Is it the Heart Sutra? But I have never heard of "no intention and no disease"... It doesn't mean 'neither birth nor death, neither dirt nor purity, neither increase nor decrease'
?
"As for no intention and no disease, my understanding is this, 'Confucius said: "Poetry" Three Hundred, can be summed up in one sentence, saying, "Thoughts are without evil". Only when the mind is free from evil thoughts can we understand the principle of no intention and no disease. See
Come on, uncle, you have integrated Confucianism into Buddhist ideals, aren't you seeing the world of mortals and wanting to become a monk?"
After Zhu Hao finished speaking, Tang Yin and Lu Song were dumbfounded. Even Zhu Wanhong, who had asked the question, stared and opened his mouth, as if he were listening to a book from heaven.
But in the end, Zhu Wanhong was the first to come to his senses, with a face full of admiration: "Nephew, you understand me, that's what I think."
Tang Yin and Lu Song both looked at him with disdain.
Become a monk?
just you?
What a shameless guy!
"Mr. Tang, Mr. Lu, why are you two here too? It seems that I invited my nephew to come here to talk about Buddhism today. Why are you also interested in Buddhism?"
Zhu Wanhong raised his head and looked at Tang Yin and Lu Song.
Tang Yin didn't take it seriously after hearing this, but Lu Song on the side felt a big uproar in his heart.
Instead of calling me Lu Dianzhan, you directly call me Lu Zongqi. This is clearly telling others that in addition to serving as Dianzhang in the palace, I also inherited my late father's position as Chief Flag Officer of the Royal Guards. This is to expose my background.
Tang Yin immediately returned the favor: "The letter was sent to my house. It seems there is nothing wrong with me accompanying Zhu Hao."
Lu Song was not as stubborn as Tang Yin, so he quickly saluted: "Then wait outside first."
"Yes, Mr. Lu is a member of the royal family and is not suitable to participate in this kind of thing. As for Mr. Tang, you are my nephew's teacher. It doesn't hurt to stay and listen... Mr. Lu, please."
Zhu Wanhong began to issue orders to expel guests.
Lu Song thought to himself, I just said that I don’t need to take off my shoes, my feelings are waiting for me here?
It's like who cares to listen to your uncle and nephew's talk. At worst, I'll wait outside. I don't believe you dare to report me in front of Tang Yin? Even if you report me, I guess with my good relationship with him, Zhu Hao will be there to say peace.
, Tang Yin cannot reveal my identity to Yuan Changshi or Prince Xing.
When Lu Song and the servants who came with him left the backyard of the Buddhist temple, Zhu Wanhong seemed to have suddenly changed. He stared at Zhu Hao and asked: "My nephew, why did the Zhu family offend you? Why did you do that?"
Are you going to attack the family one after another? We must not forget our roots as human beings. After all, my father is also a member of the Zhu family. You have the blood of the Zhu family flowing in your body, how can you be ungrateful?"
