71. Jiming Temple
85_85279 The crown prince died, and the whole country was mourned. Zhu Yuanzhang is the best son of the sky, eloquent and strategic, after all, it is inevitable that the world is mundane, and the white-haired people send the black-haired people, and the ones who send away are the thousands of selected princes who he values and cultivates for more than 40 years. People who came out of the palace said that the emperor turned white overnight, and the sadness was naturally visible.
Zhu Di was ordered to guard the spirit. He was in the palace for the first three days, and on the fourth day, he returned to the palace. The first time I returned to the palace, I naturally came to me.
After not closing his eyes for three days and three nights, Zhu Di looked very tired, and his eyes were bloodshot. When he came to me after he couldn't wait any longer, I realized what I meant.
"Sit, sit." I made a pot of tea and brought it to Zhu Di.
He smiled lightly, "Little thing, it seems that you also know that you will not be able to perfunctory this king for a while." β
My heart was shocked, the tea bowl almost fell off, but the corners of my mouth still curved up with a decent smile, "The prince is used to making fun of Helian." β
Zhu Di raised his eyes and said seriously, "This king didn't make fun of you. He took the tea bowl in my hand slowly and took a sip, "Tell the king how you calculated that the prince would die on the day of Bingzi?" β
I hung my head and thought about how to answer.
"Oh, this king remembers, you have a relationship with the sincere boss, is it that his old man taught you to calculate the world and plan the country?" Zhu Di looked at me with a smile, like torture and banter, and that look only saw that I was bottomless in my heart, faintly hairy.
"Lord Wang...... The prince really laughed, Helian and Sincerity are just one side, no, where is Sincerity, it's just a family pension, a few words of chat, a few words of ridicule, where did Helian come from to calculate the world's skills? The prince is too exalted of Helian. β
"In April, Bingzi Day, the king's key is not mistaken, you said it clearly in front of the king. After this king went back, he kept guessing what would happen on Bingzi Day, but I didn't expect ......" Zhu Di raised his head, his eyes were insightful, and he seemed to see my heart, "Who are you?" β
Who am I, this is the first time Zhu Di has asked like this, and it is also the first time since I arrived in the Ming Dynasty. Even if he doubts the identity of my Jinyiwei, I won't be so alarmed, it's just that I will be found beheaded. But now he's asking me so seriously who I amβit means he's already wondering if I'm Helian Yi. Zhu Di is indeed a very smart person, but he can see through the mystery from a few words of mine, and my father and Yuelong City have lived with me for ten years and have not noticed half of it.
My voice trembled a little, "Helian is Helian, what else can it be, the prince's joke is getting bigger and bigger......"
Zhu Di looked at me with interest, "You don't have the ability to decide which day the prince will die, how do you know?" β
There was firmness in his tone, a determination that would not give up regardless of the reason. Both of my legs had begun to weaken slightly, and I knew very well in my heart that if I confronted him, there would be only one result, and I would lose badly.
"Helian has read books on basic physiognomy since he was a child, and he is very curious about it. Observing the sky day and night, he found that a small emperor star surrounded by purple qi in the north was getting fainter and fainter, and it seemed that it was about to fall......
Zhu Di's face smiled even more, but the cold sweat behind me became more and more, and I didn't know how he felt when he heard my nonsense.
"You're so proficient in this way that I used to underestimate you. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Bei Longzhong looked at the thatched house three times, condescended to the nobles just to invite Zhuge Kongming to assist him, after the emperor of this dynasty laid down the country, he said a sentence of "unification of the country Liu Bowen" to compliment the sincerity of the uncle, it can be seen how important the strategist is to the king. If you have such a skill, I'm afraid everyone will rush to invite you. β
I paused for a moment and replied, "The prince's words are wrong, when there are troubled times, it is understandable that everyone will compete for geniuses and tricks, and now that the world is peaceful and prosperous, the Ming Dynasty is a faction, why do I need people like me to survive?" β
Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, and I immediately realized that I had said the wrong thing, didn't I say this to imply that I knew his wolf ambitions and coveted the throne?
But I couldn't take back the water that spilled out of the words, so I had to stiffen my neck and wait for him to reply.
"You're right, but after all, it's a little family. You are naturally the best in our royal family, and you can't make a trace of storms, but if someone with bad intentions knows about your existence and captures you, wouldn't that be to destroy Shengping? β
Zhu Di blocked me to death with a few words, I am not his opponent after all, whether it is a battle of words or a scheming calculation.
Zhu Di continued, "This king didn't know your skills before, but now that he has learned it, he will treat you well." It's late tonight, so I'll talk to you in a few days. β
After saying that, he got up and prepared to leave, but I was completely confused, "Care...... What's the matter? β
Zhu Di smiled, "I really have to think about the calculation with you." The king couldn't think of it for a while. It's not early, you better rest early, if not, you can also go and watch the celestial phenomena to see what other major events have happened recently. β
"As soon as such a major event as the death of the prince comes out, I'm afraid there will be no major events recently." I quickly brushed it off.
"Otherwise, the prince is dead...... Zhu Di suddenly turned close to me, almost leaning in front of me, I felt the breath of his breath again, hot on the face, ambiguous and domineering, I haven't eased up, he has spoken again, "The prince is dead, the emperor is going to elect a new prince, you might as well help me calculate, who will become the next prince?" β
I was shocked, "How can this Helian be calculated!" Don't say it's me, even if it's sincerity, he can't necessarily figure it out! Fortune telling, fortune telling, counting the past and the future, how can you calculate people's hearts, let alone the emperor's heart! β
Zhu Di seemed very satisfied when he saw me panicking like this, "It seems that you are not stupid." β
With that, he brushed his sleeves away.
I was the only one standing in front of the door, overwhelmed. What a wrong step! Zhu Di knows that I am a person in the future, and he knows the future, then he will never let me go! He will imprison me to the death and make me his instrument to ascend the throne of God, and at that time, I am afraid that I will die rather than live.
I don't know whether Zhu Yuanzhang was intentional or unintentional, he ordered Zhu Di to preside over the construction of the prince's mausoleum. The crown prince died young, and it is not like a person who dies to prepare a mausoleum early. As soon as the first seven passed, Zhu Yuanzhang stopped the early dynasty with illness, Zhu Yunwen is a filial son, and has always kept filial piety, and Zhu Di has led the people to start the site to build the tomb.
And the Manchu ministers waited for only one result - who is the new crown prince?
Zhu Di is very attentive to the Prince's Mausoleum, and selected the most feng shui treasure on the dragon vein to start construction, and the mausoleum layout is also extremely attentive, with the country's most prestigious feng shui physiognomist carefully designed.
Even Zhu Yuanzhang saw the drawings and sincerely praised King Yan for his deep brotherhood towards the prince. When this sentence came out, everyone couldn't help but wonder, is the emperor interested in King Yan? Otherwise, why would such a major event as Jianling be handed over to King Yan?
As soon as this news came out, the Yan Wangfu gradually became crowded, and there were more and more people bragging about it, and Zhu Di himself seemed to have thought that he was going to become the one who ruled the world.
I would like to remind him that the heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds. But I couldn't say it. In fact, in everyone's hearts, Zhu Di is really a good piece of material for being an emperor, he has both literary and military talents, and he is neither too weak nor too immature in his first year. He has guarded Beiping for many years, and has made countless contributions to the country.
But who can guess what Zhu Yuanzhang thinks? He has a soft spot for Zhu Yunwen, and against all odds, he will help him to the position of the emperor's grandson. How many people want to shout grievances for Zhu Di!
In July, the prince's mausoleum was completed, the prince was officially buried, the funeral was grand and grand, and the whole country was mourned.
Zhu Yuanzhang's old body is gradually getting better, he is becoming more and more elusive, and no one knows what he is thinking, except for me, of course.
After a long time, the prince was no longer established, and gradually some ministers handed over the letter of advice. If the country does not establish a reserve, it is difficult to convince the people, the people's will is unstable, and disasters cause turmoil. Once in the early dynasty, there were ministers like this, Zhu Yuanzhang only said lightly, "But you are all looking forward to my early death, so that you can train the new monarch and occupy the world?" β
The minister who admonished him is said to have fallen ill and died that night. Since then, no one has dared to say anything more.
July dog days, the heat is unbearable, I stayed in Yanwang Mansion for a few months without setting foot outside the mansion half a step, at this time the itching is unbearable, I wanted to sneak out to relax, think now I am Zhu Di's number one attention figure, or don't dare, so I reported to Sanbao, please ask him to ask the prince if I can go to Jiming Temple on the pillar incense.
If Sanbao brings it, the prince will approve it, but he must dress up in men's clothes, and Sanbao must follow him.
I thought I might not be able to get out, but now I'm very satisfied that I can get out like this. Thank God, Zhu Di began to prepare to go out.
The next day, I traveled with Sanbao in a carriage, if he was not there, I might go to Yuelongcheng and my father to chat, but although Sanbao is good friends with me, after all, he is Zhu Di's confidant, I can only go to Jiming Temple honestly.
Jiming Temple is on the east foot of the mountain, it is said that the gods in it are very tight, I also want to go to worship, ask the Bodhisattva, when will I be able to go back to modern times.
When we reached the foot of the mountain, the carriage could not move forward, so I got out of the carriage and walked with Sanbao.
Although the weather is hot and humid, the mountains are cooler and there is shade, so it is easy and pleasant to walk all the way. Sanbao and I chatted first.
Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice came from behind, "Miss An, what a coincidence!" β
When I turned around, it was a young and handsome son
