Chapter 151: Dao Yan
Zhu Biao smiled after hearing this, the Kaiping Mansion is naturally not short of money, not to mention that this is to prepare a dowry for the crown princess, I am afraid that Chang Yuchun will want to hollow out his family foundation, and he will have to let Chang Luohua marry into the East Palace in a beautiful manner.
Liu Jin continued: "I heard that I also specially built a sedan chair by inviting the most famous craftsmen in the south of the Yangtze River to create a sedan chair, which is extremely precious. ”
Zhu Biao nodded, but he didn't feel anything, and he didn't have the energy to care about this little thing, but he still asked, "What are the movements in the harem?" ”
Liu Jin replied: "The queen has rewarded the Kaiping palace three times, and has given a lot of things, and the princess of Kaiping has also entered the palace to thank her, and the other concubines have also sent gifts to make a box." ”
Zhu Biao talked to Liu Jin again and then went back to sleep, it took a lot of attention today, and he will see Yao Guangxiao tomorrow.
Early the next morning, Zhu Biao got up and walked a few laps, and then after finishing breakfast, he walked directly to the temple where the monks were received.
The group arrived at the place in a mighty way, and the door was already full of monks and great virtues who came to greet His Royal Highness the Prince, and when Zhu Biao arrived, these people did not do any tricks of outsiders not kowtowing.
may be because he knows that Zhu Yuanzhang, an old colleague, does not eat this set, and if he doesn't kowtow to his son, I'm afraid he won't be able to use this good head in the future.
After waiting for them to salute, Zhu Biao politely helped up the old monk at the front: "It's really hard for the monks to come from afar, let's talk about it." ”
The old monk was kind and kind-eyed, and slowly got up and replied: "Although we are outsiders, we are also the people of the Ming Dynasty, and it is right to serve the imperial court, and Your Highness does not have to be polite." ”
Zhu Biao led them into the house and started a friendly conversation, I have to say that these monks gave Zhu Biao a very good feeling, and they didn't fight with him, and they completely obeyed his orders.
However, it is not difficult to understand that the attitude of the Yuan Dynasty towards religion was tolerant and open, and the people under its rule believed in Buddhism and Taoism, or *** religion, in short, they would not control it if it did not affect its rule.
After all, faith is a difficult thing, but the Mongolian high-level believes in shamanism and Tibetan Buddhism, which is a big blow to Buddhism in the Central Plains, after all, there are too many precepts in Buddhism in the Central Plains, which are not suitable for Mongolians on horseback.
Therefore, they finally hoped that Mongolia was defeated, and it was their old colleagues who did it, and they were expecting Buddhism to return to the orthodox status of religion in the Central Plains, but they did not expect to usher in a series of blows.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang is a monk, he is not doing well in the temple, so he has no feelings for Buddhism, and the monks have already seen this situation, so they honestly obey the emperor's orders.
Religion, if it is not supported by the most powerful rulers of the empire, then they should not think about developing, if they can meet fanatical believers like Xiao Yan, Emperor Wu of Liang, Buddhism will flourish just around the corner.
The old monks talked with Zhu Biao for more than half an hour, looking at His Royal Highness the Prince, whose eyes were calm and without the slightest wave, the old monks sighed in their hearts, and they were a hard-hearted superior.
Zhu Biao saw that it was almost, and he didn't want to waste any more time, he didn't have any opinion on religion, its existence was of inevitable significance, especially for the people at the bottom, their lives were extremely difficult, if there was no spiritual support, then they would be no different from the walking dead.
Of course, suppression is bound to be suppressed, but the effect will not be too great, and it will be difficult to completely eliminate those small cults, let alone Buddhism and Taoism, two religions that are deeply rooted in China.
To put it bluntly, the large volume of Buddhism is not a bad thing, he has a complete system, which means that the court can supervise him in general, as the saying goes, the monk can't run the temple.
Moreover, the prosperity of Buddhism is to point to the emperor, for example, Zhu Di favored Yao Guangxiao, so the status of Buddhism in the Yongle Dynasty has been improved.
When he arrived at Taishang Daluo Tianxian Ziji Immortal Shengzhi Zhao Lingtong Triple Evidence Ying Yuxu Governor Wulei Dazhen Xuandu Realm Wanshou Emperor, where was Emperor Jiajing, Taoism regained the upper hand.
To tell the truth, Zhu Biao inexplicably feels that Jiajing Xiuxian is still a little fruitful, since Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, the two emperors with great health, the seven consecutive emperors of the Ming Dynasty died at the age of thirty or forty, and the average life expectancy was only thirty-five years old.
Zhu Biao glanced at the monk at the back, who was in his early thirties, but he was already the youngest in this group of monks.
Zhu Biao picked up the teacup and glanced at the officials of the Ministry of Rites standing on the side, only to see that he stood up and greeted all the monks, and those monks were also human spirits, so he naturally knew that His Highness didn't want to talk to them anymore.
Only the last middle-aged monk did not move, and the official of the Ministry of Rites glanced at Zhu Biao, and when he saw that he did not say anything, he also retreated.
Zhu Biao stood up and walked to the monk's side, which gave him the opportunity to take a good look at this Daoyan monk, only to see that this person's eye sockets were triangular, and his body was a little thin and shaped like a sick tiger, but his body had the unique compassionate atmosphere of a monk.
Seeing that Zhu Biao got up and came to him, the monk also got up and folded his hands and bowed deeply, and said, "Little monk Daoyan see His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Zhu Biao didn't respond, walked back to the upper seat and sat down to look at Dao Yancai, who kept bowing, and said, "I heard that you have the art of troubled times, I don't know if it's true." ”
After hearing this, Dao Yan's body trembled and returned: "The little monk studied under Taoist priest Xi Yingzhen, and he has learned the number of yin and yang techniques, but he is just a little Daoer, where is the art of troubled times." ”
Zhu Biao looked at him and said, "Is it useful for this palace to find you, are you willing to serve this palace?" ”
Dao Yan complained bitterly in his heart, he had never leaked his ability, how could he be targeted by the prince, and now it is extremely difficult to get out.
Dao Yan knelt on the ground and said: "The little monk is a person from outside the party, His Royal Highness is the prince of the country, and His Royal Highness has many outstanding people, where do you need the little monk to serve?" ”
Zhu Biao smiled and said: "This palace intends to meddle in the political situation of Goryeo, and intends to let you go to the town, it just so happens that now the power of Goryeo is in the hands of a monk, and it should be better to contact you than you." ”
Dao Yan didn't shirk it anymore, bowed his head and said: "How can the little monk He De be entrusted with a heavy task by His Royal Highness, and dare not die!" ”
Zhu Biao nodded, he knew that Yao Guangxiao was a smart person, and now that Zhu Biao had already told him his plan, if he dared to shirk it, it would be a dead end.
Dao Yan also has no way, how can he refuse the prestige of the prince and the prince, if he offends the prince, no one in the world can protect him except the emperor, but how could the emperor break the prince's face.
In the situation of the unification of the world, Zhu Biao is eager for talents, but he will never look at the thatched house like Liu Bei to sincerely ask for his talents, Zhu Biao is the prince of the world, and it is natural for the people under his rule to serve the king, how can there be any conditions to say, unless you want to rebel!
Zhu Biao looked at Dao Yan and said: "Well done, this palace will never be stingy with glory and wealth, although you are an outsider, but you don't want to be empty." ”
