After Daoyan returned to the temple, he fell seriously ill, because he couldn't think of a way to break the game, and looking back on his life, he couldn't help but feel that he was making people. What he learned in his life, whether it is Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and soldiers have reached the point of reaching the peak, Buddhism and the famous monk Master Zongxi are friends, Confucianism and Song Lian, Gao Qi, Yang Ji sing and peace, Taoism studied under the famous Taoist priest Xi Yingzhen, but there is nowhere to show 100,000 soldiers in the chest. He is conceited that what he has learned in his life is not inferior to the sages, so when Yuan Heng concluded that he was the black-clothed prime minister Liu Bingzhong and others, he could laugh heartily. He grew up in Suzhou and was supposed to be close to Zhang Shicheng, but unfortunately Zhang Shicheng had no ambition, and he would be defeated, and eventually the country was destroyed and died; Others, such as Dayuan and Chen Youliang, are not what they want. As for Zhu Yuanzhang, Dao Yan thought he was too brutal, and sure enough, his close friend Song Lian and others were executed one after another for minor mistakes, and he was saddened by the untimely death of his best friend, and he had no good impression of the current emperor. With the gradual stabilization of the Zhu dynasty, Dao Yan also extinguished his mind, devoted himself to the Buddha, and then when praying for Queen Ma, he met King Yan by chance, and after talking, he was greatly comforted by his life, so he asked to return to Beiping with him.

After arriving in Beiping, he teased the heart of King Yan from time to time, and recommended the scholar Yuan Hui and the diviner Jin Zhong, the former to strengthen his mind, and the latter to help him deal with secret affairs. In the end, Zhu Di also made waves in his heart because of the prince's illness and death. But so far, he has only planted eyeliner in Beijing and created rumors, except for a very small number of henchmen such as Zhang Yu, no one knows that he has antipathy.

If today's meaning is unclear, Zhu Di and himself are helpless, Yuan Heng put forward an unsolvable problem, but he can't break the situation, and his life's wishes turn into flowing water, and he fell ill after a while.

Zhu Di rode a horse outside the Saiwai for more than half a month, his mood gradually calmed down, he felt that he had no traces, Zhu Yunwen may not be able to grasp his handle, now that his father is still here, he can only wait for the opportunity, so he decided to go back to Beiping, but as soon as he entered the palace, the prince Gao Chi ran over, and Shi Li said: "Father, Master Daoyan is sick." ”

"What? How long is the thing? Zhu Di was shocked.

"About ten days later, my father went to Saiwai, and the master fell ill when he went back, and he still can't seem to get out of bed."

"Then you didn't go and see it on behalf of the king?" Zhu Di said hurriedly.

Zhu Gaochi lowered his head and whispered: "Erchen doesn't know his father's intentions, so he doesn't dare to look at it." ”

Zhu Di was furious, he knew that his son was cautious, maybe he saw that he went directly to Saiwai, and Dao Yan fell ill when he went back, thinking that there was any conflict between himself and Dao Yan, so he didn't dare to look at it. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but cool down, and rode to Qingshou Temple.

Zhu Di and his entourage were all cavalry, and they were so anxious that they even injured a few pedestrians on the road, but Zhu Di didn't care, and directly let the guards deal with it.

It was dusk, there were not many people who offered incense in the temple, there was a woman in front of the statue of Guanyin in the front hall, and the maid next to her was throwing money into the merit box. Zhu Di and his entourage rushed to the apse in a hurry, alarming Shangxiang's group, the woman glanced back, her pupils shrank, she stood up, looked at the maid next to her and said, "Lan Xiang, is that His Royal Highness King Yan?" ”

The maid Lanxiang stared at it for a while, and said, "Yes, it is King Yan and his guards, about thirty people." Went to the apse, probably ......"

The woman glanced at King Yan's back, waved her hand, and didn't let the maid continue, saying, "Lan Xiang, let's go back." ”

"Yes, miss."

The group walked out of the gate of Qingshou Temple, turned left and right, entered an alley with a poplar tree at the mouth of the alley, and entered the second courtyard. The young lady instructed: "Lan Xiang, Amber, follow me to the study, and the others will be busy." ”

"Yes, miss."

In the study, the young lady sat down, swept away her lazy appearance, and said, "Sister Lanxiang, Amber, sit down, what do you think of today's events?" ”

Lan Xiang was only fifteen or sixteen years old, with a beautiful appearance, first poured a glass of water for the two, and then drank a glass for herself, before sitting down and saying, "Miss, that person today must be King Yan, but I don't know what makes him so anxious?" ”

"What do you say? Amber? ”

An Bo was about fifty years old, with his back bent, holding a dry tobacco pouch in his hand, thinking for a while, and said: "I heard that Master Daoyan, the presiding officer of Qingshou Temple, has been sick recently, and Daoyan is the chief monk of King Yan, if King Yan has any important people in Qingshou Temple, it can only be a monk of Daoyan." ”

Lan Xiang was unconvinced: "It's impossible, just a master monk is sick, and King Yan is so anxious to see him?" The Zhu family is the most ruthless. ”

"Lan Xiang, this is probably the case, Amber feels that this Qingshou Temple is not simple, and the Daoyan monk is unusual, of course, there may be other reasons."

The two of them argued for a while, and couldn't help but look at the young lady. The young lady just unconsciously tapped her fingers on the table and looked at the two of them: "Recently, I can often hear something similar to a proverb in the market of Beiping, do you remember?" ”

"Remember, there are more than ten of them that Lanxiang knows? What 'Yan Wang Yan Wang, Yan Jing is called the king, heavy snow falls in the sky, and the day is called the emperor', 'Yun Wei Yun Wei, died of fire patterns. Wait. ”

"Amber, what do you say?"

"Miss, my subordinates feel that these are probably released by the Yan Wangfu, but they are very hidden, and when they go out of Beiping, such as Shandong, they almost can't hear these news."

The young lady rubbed her head and said, "Yes, this is intriguing, although these proverbs are usually useless, but when the wind and clouds are surging, the dragon goes out to sea, and the tiger comes out of the mountain, it will be of great use." I think King Yan is anti-minded, we have to ponder some rumors recently, spread them, and make this fire more vigorous, but be careful not to let people catch the horse's feet. ”

Amber smiled and said, "Miss, don't worry, this old man is the best at it, and there won't be any problems." ”

The young lady smiled: "It's hard work, now let's get back to business, what do you think of Qingshou Temple, what do you think of Daoyan monk?" ”

"That Daoyan monk doesn't look like a good person at a glance, and he doesn't know how to become a monk." Lan Xiang pouted.

Amber put the cigarette pouch on the table, rubbed his hands and said: "Lan Xiang, don't underestimate this Taoist monk, he is not an ordinary person, not to mention Buddhism, he is also proficient in Confucianism, and Song Lian and others are good friends, proficient in literary meaning, good at poetry and literature, known as one of the 'Ten Friends of Beiguo'; proficient in the Book of Changes, once worshipped the old Taoist priest Xi Yingzhen as a teacher; Xi Yingzhen fancied the person, how can he be an ordinary person?" ”

"Xi Yingzhen, do you mean Xi Yingzhen, who has crossed paths with Patriarch Peng?" Miss said.

"Yes, Xi Yingzhen also had a heart to oppose the Yuan back then, and he dealt with Patriarch Peng a few times, but finally parted ways because of the disagreement. He does not approve of the teachings of our White Lotus Sect, thinking that it is not a gentleman to drive away the foolish people and foolish women against the Yuan, and predicts that the White Lotus Sect will not succeed. ”

How could he say that? My White Lotus Sect revolted, laid down a huge country, and wiped out most of the Yuan soldiers, but it was only by Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Shicheng that they were attacked by Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Shicheng, and finally failed. Xi Yingzhen's bull's nose is really nonsense. Lan Xiang said unconvinced.

Amber sighed and said, "Yes, it seems that it is about to succeed, but in the end, it will fall short, and now the situation of my teaching is even worse than that of the Mengyuan period, Zhu Yuanzhang explicitly forbade it, which makes it very difficult for us to develop the sect." ”

Miss Liu Qingyin also sighed: "But with the protection of the White Lotus Patriarch, my sect will always have a day of resurrection." ”

Amber thought for a while and said, "Miss, I think this Qingshou Temple is very suspicious, otherwise King Yan would not be in such a hurry, I think we should send additional people to monitor Qingshou Temple and Daoyan Monk, if you don't know it, you will find out." ”

"What will you find?"

Amber's excited eyes lit up and said: "Miss, we also observed that this Daoyan monk often goes to Yanwang's mansion, but we didn't think of anything abnormal, now that Yanwang is in such a hurry to go to Qingshou Temple, his subordinates have an idea, this Daoyan monk is not the brainchild of Yanwang, then we will pick up the treasure." ”

Liu Qingyin's eyes also lit up, and said: "Yes, there is such a possibility, in this way, Amber, you arrange someone to monitor Dao Yan, you must be shrewd, capable, and skilled, pay attention not to let Dao Yan find out, maybe we will have an accident." ”

"Okay, miss, my subordinates will do it."
