The enthronement ceremony of the new monarch in the imperial city was very lively. The Duke of Wei's mansion, which was also in Beijing, was very quiet at this time, Xu Huizu's illness had been cured, and after returning to Beijing from the defeat in Taipingzhou, his illness did not recur.

Xu Huizu's current treatment is the same as Qiu Fu's original; Inside and outside the mansion, there are all people sent by the new emperor!

Because he was the commander of the enemy army in the Battle of Zhili, some of the soldiers of the Crime Suppression Army wanted to arrest him after entering Beijing. Unexpectedly, Xu Huizu took out the Xu family's death-free iron card, and called him a great hero of the founding of the country in public; The generals who came to Wei Guogong didn't want to come out, so they asked people to watch the mansion.

There is not only one person like Xu Huizu who does not support the new emperor. Like Xia Yuanji, the head of the household department, he didn't go to the household department for the past three days, let alone persuade him to go in, and he stayed at home and didn't move.

After Xu Huizu returned from Taiping Prefecture, he never left home; At that time, even the Hongxi court ignored him, and it was estimated that the court was too lazy to talk to him about the crime of losing his teacher...... After all, after the defeat of the official army in Taiping Prefecture, the end of the entire imperial court is in sight.

However, he still knew about Gao Xu's accession to the throne today and other major events.

On a big day like today, Xu Huizu behaved very calmly, and as soon as he got up in the morning, he copied the ancestral teachings of the Xu family in the study. Not even a step out of the door.

It was almost noon when an old man bowed down and walked into the study.

Xu Huizu looked sideways slightly, but he didn't stop in his hand, still sitting in front of the bookcase, copying the words neatly stroke by stroke.

The old man stepped forward and said softly: "The old slave is at Menzi, and he talked with a military general for a while. The name of the new monarch has been promulgated, and it is called 'Wude'. ”

When Xu Huizu heard this, he slowly put the brush on the inkstone. He lowered his head and pondered for a while, and said, "This is not a good thing for my Ming Dynasty. ”

After a while, he shook his head again and sneered, and said, "This era name must not be thought of by the strategists around Gao Xu, I guess it is something that Gao Xu came up with himself." It has been 40 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Gao Xu is not the founding emperor of the world, he still uses the word 'martial', is he planning to continue to fight and govern the country with military force? ”

The era name Wude has been used before, but the era name can be reused; The previous person who used the era name did not have any moral stain, and with the system of the Ming Dynasty, it was impossible for something similar to the coup of the prince to happen, and there was no chance. These are not very big problems, what Xu Huizu cares about the most is obviously the word "Wu".

The old man bowed, "You are right. ”

Xu Huizu's face sneered, and then he showed a worried look, and muttered: "How difficult it is for Emperor Taizu Gao to start a business, I am afraid that the foundation will be defeated in the hands of Gao Xu!" This person is apostate and deviant, and has no virtue of loyalty and filial piety in his heart, but he puts the word loyalty and filial piety on his lips all day long; Others can't see through it, I'm his uncle, watching him grow up, don't you know?

I think he's quite good at fighting. It can be seen that Gao Xu has no literary skills, only cunning methods; Secretly, he sneered at the morality of the sages! Gao Xu didn't understand at all, I was the Ming Dynasty to govern the country with morality and educate the world, if there were no such things, wouldn't the world be chaotic? In case of chaos in the world, even if he can fight again, how can the country withstand the chaos for many years?

I am the Ming Dynasty, there will be a catastrophe at this time! ”

After hearing this, the old man persuaded with kind words: "Now that the master is no longer in charge of state affairs, you should take care of your body and work less." ”

Xu Huizu immediately heard the meaning of his words, and said calmly: "I have already put life and death out of the way, and if I want to kill, I will kill, why be afraid?" You don't have to worry, after the king of the Xu family, I am his own uncle, and he doesn't dare to blatantly move the Xu family; He has murderous intentions towards me, but he will only sneak around and hide it! ”

…… On the day the new emperor ascended the throne, Yao Fang had completely understood: the saint (Zhu Gaoxu) would not convict Yao Guangxiao.

Because before the Holy One ascended the throne, he said something in public, saying that only the first evil who participated in the murder of the first emperor was punished, and the rest were not guilty. Yao Fang also heard this.

Yao Fang thought of the attitude of the saint again: everyone in the world knew that Yan was the confidant of the first emperor, and implicating the death of the first emperor on Dao Yan made the credibility of the whole thing reduced.

From the pros and cons, this is indeed the case. But Yao Fang was not puzzled!

He thought hard about a way to get revenge for a few days, but he still had no good solution. At this time, Yao Fang once again walked out of the Taiping Gate in the northeast of the inner city and easily walked into Qingshou Temple. Before the saint ascended the throne, he personally asked Yao Fang and Du Erlang (Yang Yong) to temporarily take charge of the Jinyi Guard, and it was not difficult for him to enter and exit places like Qingshou Temple.

The surrounding areas of Qingshou Temple have been guarded by soldiers, and monks are not allowed to enter or leave. The host Daoyan has nowhere to go, so he must still be inside.

Yao Fang had a bored look on his face, and he suddenly felt that life was not interesting for a while. After Miss Wang's death, his most sorrowful feelings for a while had been alleviated; Now, in normal times, he is bored and seems to be missing something.

He looked a little swaggering, and swaggered out of the presiding room. There was also the sound of a wooden fish with "tuk tuk tuk ......" inside, and it was Dao Yan who was knocking on the wooden fish, and it seemed that he was indifferent to the major events of the new emperor's accession to the throne.

Dao Yan felt someone coming in, looked sideways slightly, and glanced at Yao Fang's improperly standing appearance with triangular eyes; Dao Yan only glanced at it, and continued to silently knock on his wooden fish, counting the beads in his hand.

It seems that Dao Yan has no fear, nor can he see any fun and nostalgia, which is in line with the Buddhist saying "everything is empty".

If it was before, Yao Fang would have been respectful when he saw Dao Yan; But now, all acting is gone. Yao Fang was very casual, neither polite nor greeting, staring straight at Dao Yan without saying a word.

Daoyan is over 70 years old, with no children, no daughters, and no family; Yuan Jue and Jin Zhong seem to be counted as his friends, but one of the "friends" is dead, and the other is about to die, and he doesn't see how much Dao Yan cares.

Recently, Dao Yan seems to be getting older, the skin on his face and neck is loose and wrinkled, covered with age spots, except for that layer of skin, the whole person is like dead wood.

What is the effect of such a person threatening to kill him? Even if he really killed him, he probably didn't care very much; After all, you won't live long if you don't kill.

Yao Fang scratched her head boringly, and wondered in her heart: obviously the enemy has fallen into the palm of his hand, but he has no way to take the enemy!

"We are also of the same race, and your heart is so ruthless? Framed my father and killed me|Mother, you don't even have a little guilt, and you even deceive our brothers and sisters and use them like puppets? Yao Fang said in a sarcastic tone.

In fact, Dao Yan had something to refute at this time, such as framing Yang Fengji (Yao Fang's father) for self-protection, and Yang Fengji found something unfavorable to Dao Yan.

But Dao Yan didn't argue a word, he actually raised his head and glanced at Yao Fang! Yao Fang was suddenly angry, but there was nothing to do.

"Why did you kill the Wang family?!" Yao Fang shouted loudly.

Seeing that Dao Yan didn't react, Yao Fang was even more annoyed, rushed up and grabbed the wooden fish that was still ringing "tuk tuk tuk ......", and fell to the ground with a "pop", breaking the wooden fish into several petals!

Dao Yan unhurriedly put down the wooden stick in his hand.

Yao Fang was furious, and then twisted Dao Yan's monk's robe again, staring at Dao Yan's face with red eyes. Dao Yan's face was calm and bored, and the corners of his mouth seemed to emit a sneer!

After a stalemate for a while, Yao Fang suddenly let go of Dao Yan, took a deep breath and said, "It's not so easy for you to die!" ”

Yao Fang walked out of the host room, and there was a sense of annoyance and anger. He said in his heart: There must be a way to make him no longer that lifeless face!

He thought about it, went to a room, and asked people to call Monk Qingyuan over.

Monk Qingyuan is a middle-aged man, and he shouldn't want to die yet. After Qingyuan walked into the room, he politely bowed to Yao Fanghe: "Amitabha, what does General Yao have to do?" ”

What kind of thing Qingyuan is, Yao Fang knows, he is a fake monk at all! What hasn't he done to make drugs and kill people? This is also worthy of being a monk, but he is just a lackey who has overdone it!

Yao Fang said straightforwardly: "My sister is now a person next to the saint, and it will not be a problem to be a concubine in the future, and the saint has already called me to be in charge of the brocade guard." ”

Qingyuan bowed and said: "The poor monk congratulates General Yao. ”

"It's easy for you to live, I'll protect you." Yao Fang said coldly.

Qingyuan was silent for a while, and said quietly: "What does General Yao command?" ”

Yao Fang said: "What does Dao Yan care about? ”

Kyungwon was silent again.

For a while, Yao Fang muttered in her heart, for fear that Qingyuan wouldn't know! This monk is Dao Yan's henchman and knows Dao Yan very well; If Qingyuan didn't know what Dao Yan cared about...... Most of the four Dao Yan are really empty, and there is no way to take him!

Qingyuan finally spoke: "General Yao did what he said? How can the poor monk believe in you? ”

Yao Fang's heart lit up, and she said quietly: "Do you still have a choice?" ”

Qingyuan turned his head and glanced at the door of the room, took two steps forward and said in a low voice: "As far as the poor monk knows, the host cares about two things. The poor monk told General Yao first, what about it? ”

Yao Fang nodded.

Qingyuan bowed his head and whispered: "I have been writing a book for many years recently, called "Dao Yulu", which is the result of his many years of hard work. The book was on the bookshelf in the host's room, but he quietly copied a copy himself; At night, the poor monk looked at him hiding under the dark bricks under the bed. ”

Yao Fang suddenly realized that it was useful! He asked, "What about the other one?" ”

Qingyuan hesitated slightly.

Yao Fang said coldly: "This kind of thing can also take revenge on Dao Yan!" You can't hold me hostage if you hide it. ”

Qingyuan also seemed to feel reasonable, so he bowed his head again and quietly told Yao Fang.

Yao Fang's expression was abrupt, and a trace of happiness quickly appeared in his heart! At this point, he couldn't find anything he cared about except revenge...... I don't know if it's because I've been in and out of the temple too much, Yao Fang is gradually not interested in glory and wealth at all, as if he wants to become a monk.
