Chapter 39: Monks also have great ambitions

Zhu Yunwen has always been full of curiosity about Yao Guangxiao, a monk.

Yao Guangxiao, recorded in history, was Zhu Di's chief military advisor and close friend, and it was also because of Yao Guangxiao's existence that Zhu Di resolutely decided to rebel.

There are even many people who found that in the process of Zhu Di's rebellion, there were many times when they retreated, but it was precisely this monk who supported Zhu Di's perseverance and continued.

Why did Yao Guangxiao bent on provoking Zhu Di to rebel?

Zhu Yunwen is the Yao Guangxiao he saw with a stomach full of questions, the latter entered Beijing with Zhu Di, this is what Zhu Yunwen didn't expect, he didn't expect Zhu Di to come to Nanjing, doesn't he know what it means to come to Nanjing?

Coming to Nanjing with Yao Guangxiao means telling the world that he Zhu Di is guilty and voluntarily confesses! This is self-isolation from the world, so Zhu Yunwen was shocked that a character like Zhu Di would choose to surrender.

When Zhu Di knelt down in the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yunwen couldn't even describe his mood, happy? Proud? The famous Emperor Yongle in history lost to a little secretary like himself who traveled through later generations, isn't this worthy of pride?

Zhu Yunwen's vanity exploded in an instant, but it also disappeared in the next second.

He occupies the right time, place and people, and has the assistance of early Ming sages such as Yu Xin, Xie Jin, and Yang Shiqi, and defeating Zhu Di should be a matter of course, which is not enough to show that he is more powerful than Zhu Di.

"Fourth uncle."

Zhu Yunwen picked up Zhu Di and held the latter's hand tightly, "When I said goodbye last year, the fourth uncle was handsome and handsome, and he was the god of war in northern Xinjiang. ”

Zhu Di smiled reluctantly, "The ministers who treat the guilt are tormented day and night, and before coming to Beijing to ask for sin, I dreamed that the emperor reprimanded the ministers for being disloyal and unfilial, and I was afraid and regretted, so that His Majesty laughed." ”

Zhu Yunwen took Zhu Di's arm and personally sat down with Zhu Di in his arms, "Fourth uncle, don't say anything, we are a family, close relatives who are connected by blood and blood." ”

As he spoke, Zhu Yunwen glanced at Yao Guangxiao, who was still kneeling not far away, with a calm and indifferent expression, the latter was good enough, knowing that Nanjing was the place to be buried, he was still dressed in a black robe, with no waves on his face, and a detached and enlightened expression.

"Uncle Ning Wang handed me a notebook and said some things in the Shuntian Mansion."

Zhu Yunwen took the teapot handed by Shuangxi and poured it for Zhu Di, "There are traitors and young people, who make a lot of nonsense, so that the rebellion started in Beijing, this move is not to want to break the relationship between me and the clan, the fourth uncle has been in the army for a long time, and occasionally neglects, I can understand it." ”

Zhu Di smiled bitterly and arched his hand, "Until this time, Your Majesty is still willing to protect the name of the minister, the minister is grateful, but right and wrong cannot be confused, what the minister does, heaven and earth have eyes, dare not make a false statement, today the minister and the two are here, it is to lead the death, please Your Majesty give the minister a chance, kill yourself before the hundred officials of the Golden Palace." ”

Zhu Yunwen smiled disapprovingly, and did not return to his position, but instead called Shuangxi to bring a small stool and sat in front of Yao Guangxiao, "In the hall today, there are only three of you, and I are the fourth uncle of my blood relative, if you have anything to say, everyone can open up and say it." ”

Zhu Yunwen looked at Yao Guangxiao, "I used to wonder, who are you?" Today, I bother Mr. Yao to solve my doubts. ”

Yao Guangxiao looked at Zhu Yunwen flatly, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, "Can you let the poor monk answer on his knees?" ”

After speaking, Yao Guangxiao didn't care whether Zhu Yunwen agreed or not, he directly changed from kneeling to sitting, he was running to die, and he didn't care about what kind of respect or disrespect, what kind of emperor, it was not in his eyes at this time.

"The poor monk was originally a scattered person of idle clouds and wild cranes, and a few years ago he watched the sky and saw the emperor star moving north, which was the image of heaven and earth changing hands, so he went north to Shuntian and met King Yan."

Yao Guangxiao seems to be telling a story, "In the early years, the poor monk learned some astrological and divination skills, a little physiognomy, and saw that the appearance of the emperor of Yan Wang has been completed, so he encouraged King Yan, thousands of crimes, all of them are poor monks, today's incident, I hope that Your Majesty is merciful, only kill one poor monk, Yan Wang is the nine border defense, is the important general of the Ming Dynasty, read this, forgive one or two." ”

"Your Majesty." Zhu Titeng got up and knelt down beside Yao Guangxiao again, "The sage is upright and guarded, if it weren't for the minister's own evil thoughts, where would he be gullible to others, it was the minister's own ill intentions, and it had nothing to do with Mr. Yao." ”

"You two are both affectionate and righteous people." Zhu Yunwen smiled dumbly, "In such a field, I still want to defend the other party." ”

As he spoke, Zhu Yunwen's tone became much heavier, "I'm curious, why do you want to let this country change hands?" ”

Yao Guangxiao still had an indifferent expression, "King Yan has the appearance of an emperor..."

"Hahahaha." Zhu Yunwen laughed angrily, and suddenly stretched out his hand and slapped Yao Guangxiao, this time, Yao Guangxiao's face finally changed his expression, and his face was shocked, even Zhu Di was stunned.

The emperor started beating people, hey, is there anyone to care.

"The face of the emperor, tsk." Zhu Yunwen was really angry, and even couldn't control his emotions for a while, and slapped Yao Guangxiao a few times, "You're a monk, right, have you been reciting Buddhist scriptures for decades into the dog's stomach?" Well? You are going to rebel because of the so-called imaginary emperor's appearance, and you want to see the country change hands, don't you know that the sword and soldiers are together, and all the people will suffer? ”

Zhu Yunwen pointed to Yao Guangxiao's nose, "What about the compassion of your monks?" ”

Yao Guangxiao's cheeks twitched, not because he listened to Zhu Yunwen's words, mainly because Zhu Yunwen was young and had a lot of strength, and now his face began to bleed.

"The poor monk is a person who was born from the Yuan to the Yuan, and he became a monk in the eighth year of Zheng." Yao Guangxiao opened his mouth and recalled, "When the poor monk was young, he traveled all over the world, asked the Buddha and asked, learned the five elements of yin and yang thaumaturgy, and also visited the Huangjue Temple, dreaming of eighteen arhats. ”

Zhu Yunwen's face changed suddenly.

Folk anecdote, when Emperor Taizu was a monk in Huangjue Temple, he once dreamed of eighteen Arhats, and the eighteen Arhats said that Taizu was born to be a human emperor, and the temple could not accommodate the real dragon, so he respectfully drove Taizu to his shoulders and carried Taizu out of Huangjue Temple.

Later, when he woke up, Taizu left Huangjue Temple, begging all the way for a living, until he joined Guo Zixing's righteous army and participated in the great cause of resisting the Yuan.

"Are you still qualified to dream of the Eighteen Arhats?"

Yao Guangxiao heard Zhu Yunwen's ridicule, and smiled indifferently, "The poor monk is naturally not qualified to inherit the destiny of heaven, and the Arhat that the poor monk dreamed of was not as polite as to Taizu, in the dream, they were going to kill the poor monk."

The arhat said that the poor monk was a sinner who disturbed the heavens and the earth and was going to go to hell. ”

Yao Guangxiao turned his head and glanced at Zhu Di, "In terms of talent, the poor monk is familiar with astronomy and astronomy, the five elements and gossip are familiar with his chest, he knows the heavens at a glance, and he judges the good and the bad with one word. Why was Taizu honored by the Arhats, and the poor monks became sinners? ”

Yao Guangxiao is definitely a wonderful flower in Chinese history, this person is really capable, not much better than Liu Bowen, Yao Guangxiao is also a real Sasuke Zhu Di, with a city of Beijing, a few tens of thousands of soldiers, counterattack to become the master of the country, this ability is terrible.

But after Zhu Di became the emperor, something magical happened.

Zhu Di's feelings for Yao Guangxiao have nothing to say, "Everything in the world, Mr. takes it himself." ”

What does it mean, it is what you value in this world, in addition to the throne and my own wife, what do you want, you say that it is good to be a prince, a prime minister, or a national teacher.

Yao Guangxiao didn't want anything, his merits were complete, he asked for a temple, and went back to be a monk.

What do you mean by this? Afraid of the high merit and the shock of the master, so the rapids retreat bravely? He is a monk, and he has no descendants, and he is seventy years old after the successful rebellion, and he is still afraid of death? Zhu Di's brain convulsions will kill him.

Therefore, later generations analyzed Yao Guangxiao, and thought that Yao Guangxiao was just to prove one thing: Ya has the skill of slaying dragons, and he doesn't want anything, just to prove that he is awesome.

He can change the day.

"Who gave you your confidence?" Zhu Yunwen laughed, "Are you still stronger than Taizu?" What qualifications do you have to compete with Taizu, I tell you, in front of Taizu, you are not even a mayfly ant, humble as dust. ”

Taizu started from a humble beginning, what kind of family background can he have? At first, he didn't even have a name, and all his family could leave him was a few corpses for him to be buried.

This kind of real poverty and whiteness, relying on conforming to the general trend, relying on their own ability and personality charm to gather talents, step by step in the context of the Mongols ravaging the Central Plains, drove out the Mongols, restored the clothes of the Chinese nation, and became the supreme emperor. The Northern Expedition to the desert, all the way to Lake Baikal, completely annihilated the entire Northern Yuan royal court, the Great Yuan Empire, which dominated the Eurasian continent at that time, collapsed, and then fell apart into the Warat and Tatar departments.

It's just that he suffered a loss in the inability to rule the grassland, and had to retreat to the Central Plains again after the battle, but since the Tang Anshi Rebellion, the Hetao, which fell into the hands of the nomads, the Liaodong of the Goguryeo Dynasty, and the ancestral land of Hebei that had been given to foreign races since the Five Dynasties, all recovered.

"I'm telling you, you're dead."

Zhu Yunwen pointed at Yao Guangxiao, "Don't think that if you are talented, I will spare your life!" ”
