14. Liu Bowen, a unified mountain
85_85279 This old Taoist listened to my joke, laughed, and helped me up again, "The female doll's mouth is very sweet." Have you ever seen the prince in front of you, and how is he doing lately? ”
"The younger generation is just a subordinate, it's rare to see the prince, and I don't dare to spy on the prince's deeds, the old fairy is stumped for me, I guess the prince is about okay." I walked up to the statue, put on three sticks of incense, and bowed as if I were like.
Lao Dao heard me say this, and he was even more proud, "It's rare for Yanwang Mansion to have a girl like you with sharp teeth, not bad, not bad!" It's ...... now Hongwu has been twenty-four years, right? ”
"Yes." I took a closer look at the face of this old man, and saw that he was leisurely, very kind and peaceful, and seemed to be a real person of pure cultivation, and I wanted to inquire about this person's name, but I felt that since he lived in seclusion here, he would never want to say it, so it was better not to ask.
But he seemed to be in a good mood, and shouted at me, "Come, girl! It's raining today, it's a little warm and cold, and the old way is to make a pot of tea to warm your body. ”
So saying, he took me to the wing, put the tea hanger on the fire, and began to talk with me, but when I asked about the situation "ahead", I was very strange, he was an old man, living alone here, what did he live on every day? Yes, the path in front of the courtyard looks like someone often comes and goes, and it must be the person who delivers rice and vegetables.
Drinking the tea handed by Lao Dao, I suddenly thought that people who make good tea attach great importance to the utensils used to make tea, especially the water cup, which is often printed with words at the bottom of the cup to indicate its origin. I quietly drank the tea, turned the bottom of the cup and looked at it, but I didn't expect that there were really words at the bottom of the cup!
No, it shouldn't be a word, but a seal, I don't understand this, but after reading it for a long time, I still recognized the four seal books, "Qingtian sincerity".
After I recognized these four words, I looked at this old man, and saw that he had already noticed my small action, but his face was melancholy, no longer as calm as before, and he sighed lightly, "It seems that my peaceful days are coming to an end." ”
At this time, I already knew his identity, and I bowed to the ground with joy and sincerity, and before I could speak, Lao Dao had already said, "Go back, this is not the place you should come." ”
I nodded, knowing that it was not advisable to stay long, so I returned to my place in a panic, and had not recovered all day. Unexpectedly, Zhu Di summoned me to the study again that night.
I knew I had run into a catastrophe and couldn't escape, so I had to go.
When I entered this Bo Geng Hall again, I didn't feel familiar with the road, but I just felt more depressed. Zhu Di was already sitting on the chair waiting. I stepped forward and saluted, and whispered, "Let the prince wait for a long time." ”
Zhu Di glanced at me and said to Ma Sanbao beside him, "Give me a seat." ”
Ma Sanbao brought a chair and put it behind me, I thought to myself, horizontal is dead, vertical is also dead, sit down. As soon as I sat down, Zhu Di waved his hand at Ma Sanbao, and Ma Sanbao immediately retreated with interest and closed the door. My heart is palpitating, do you want to lynch me?
I...... I just discovered a little secret...... No, even if it's a big secret, I shouldn't have touched it, but I didn't say anything, and I can't just cut it down!
Zhu Di glanced at me, and couldn't see whether there was murderous aura in his eyes, but I obviously felt a chill, and sat up straight unconsciously, "What advice does the prince have for summoning Helian?" ”
Zhu Di smiled, "Where did you go to play today?" ”
I was in a cold sweat, knowing that he had already known that I had gone to the Taoist temple by asking like this, and it was useless to conceal it, so I had to answer truthfully, "Today, the two county lords of Yuying and Yuxian practiced riding, and Helian was idle, so he wanted to walk around the house, but he didn't expect to get lost, and accidentally bumped into a Taoist temple, but he didn't expect that there was an old Taoist in the Taoist temple, so he chatted a few words......"
"Just a few small talks?" Zhu Di interrupted me suddenly, staring at me with dark eyes, there seemed to be a deep pool in those eyes, which made people unable to see through it. I have dealt with him a few times, and even though I, as a latecomer, know his future destiny, when I confront him head-on, I still can't guess half of his thoughts.
"Just small talk." I insisted that in fact, I was weak-hearted, and I was just talking a few words with Lao Dao, why did it seem that I had done something very wrong.
"Now that you know the identity of the person, you will naturally not let you say it. Just in front of me, don't pretend to be deaf and dumb. Zhu Di stood up, walked to the window, and reached out to catch a few drops of broken rain dripping from the eaves, "It's raining again." ”
I had already stood up, not knowing how to deal with it, but Zhu Di turned to look at me helplessly, "You see that this raindrop comes from the sky, it will inevitably fall into dust and turn into a puddle of mud, but if there are well-wishers who collect them into pots and jars, it will be clean and clean, which can help people wash dirt and make people drink to quench their thirst." ”
"Didn't Sincerity ...... already sixteen years ago? Did he fall ill and die? I mustered up the courage to ask, since I have reached this point, what tricks can I play with careerists and conspirators like Zhu Di, it is better to admit what I know generously.
Today's Taoist temple in the old way, I know at a glance that he is not very human, and later found under his teacup "Qingtian sincerity" four seals, the Ming people are very fond of carving their own marks on the use, just like a lantern in the palace of the king of Yan to engrave a "Yan" word. These four words, maybe some people don't know the weight, but once they say "Zhuge Liang in three parts of the world, Liu Bowen in the whole country", I'm afraid that everyone will know it, everyone will know it!
Liu Bowen is a native of Qingtian, so he is also known as Liu Qingtian. He is Zhu Yuanzhang's most powerful and loyal military advisor and think tank, and it can be said that Zhu Yuanzhang has most of the credit for unifying the country. But everyone knows that after Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, he couldn't even keep such loyal ministers.
As soon as he saw Zhu Yuanzhang having such signs, he asked for his resignation and returned to his hometown to live in seclusion, so he saved his life.
But since Zhu Yuanzhang had the heart to get rid of him, how could it be so easy to let him go, until he fell ill, he had to recall him, and asked Hu Weiyong to do things in his medicine.
What I couldn't figure out the most was...... As everyone knows, Liu Bowen did not escape this catastrophe, and died long ago in the eighth year of Hongwu! After he died, Zhu Yuanzhang was really relieved, not only gave him a beautiful funeral, but also gave his children the official title, and inherited the title of Earl of Sincerity, in order to show his benevolence, but now, who is the old Tao I saw in the Taoist temple?。
