Zhu Di ran in Qingshou Temple and did not notice the people burning incense in front of the main hall. When he broke into the abbot's room, Fa Neng was feeding Dao Yan water, and when he saw that Master Dao Yan was only ten months old, he had lost a lot of weight, and his face was a little out of phase, Zhu Di couldn't help but tears fell, and he couldn't help but say: "Master, how are you?" ”

Dao Yan originally drank water with his eyes closed, but when he heard Zhu Di's voice, he opened his eyes and said, "Fa Neng, you go out, the master and the prince will say a few words." Fa Neng responded and left.

Zhu Di supported Dao Yan, fed Dao Yan a few mouthfuls of water, and said sadly: "Master, this king is incompetent, he can't realize the master's wishes, the tired master is seriously ill, and Di's sin is also, please master must ensure his body!" Di shouldn't have gone to the outside of the Saiwai regardless of that day, it broke the master's heart, Di had no unintentional mistakes, please forgive the king. As he spoke, he burst into tears. Zhu Di was originally a person of great affection and nature, never forgot Empress Xu, never suspected of being an official and a knight for the meritorious heroes of Jingnan, and cared for his subordinates, so he could achieve great things. In addition, since the intersection with Dao Yan, Master Dao Yan has helped him a lot, and Zhu Di is also a master and a father to him, so he is so sad.

Dao Yan said in a weak voice: "Lord Wang, you came close, and the old man has a few words to say to you." ”

Zhu Di hurriedly put his ear close to Dao Yan's mouth, and listened to Dao Yan: "Lord Wang, please relax, Lao Wei's illness is not in the way, it's just a heart disease, and it will be fine after a while." And this illness is not related to the prince, there is another reason, please listen to me......"

Listening to Dao Yan's words, Zhu Di's face was sometimes amazed, sometimes panicked, and when Dao Yan finished speaking, his face was distorted, and he stood up, "Bo Chang Chang" pulled out his sword, and said in a low voice: "Master, you actually discussed such a thing with him, this is a big rebellion!" Where is that Yuan Heng, this king is going to kill him, otherwise it will lead to a catastrophe. ”

Dao Yan wanted to speak, but he couldn't get up in one breath, and couldn't help coughing, Zhu Di was so frightened that he hurriedly threw away the sword, patted Dao Yan on the back, and said in a low voice: "Master, this king is not targeting you, that Yuan Heng is really hateful, this king will not let him go, what does he say, it's just madness, if you don't kill him, you can't go to the hatred in this king's heart." ”

Dao Yan smiled bitterly and said softly: "Lord Wang, I'm afraid you won't be able to see him." ”

"What, he's already running? This king immediately ordered Jin Zhong to go out and kill him. ”

At this moment, there was a hurried knock on the door, Zhu Di frowned, why was there anyone disturbing at this time? At this time, he heard the Fa Neng voice outside the door a little strange, and shouted while knocking on the door, "Master, Lord Wang, can I come in?" Something big is wrong. ”

Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, looked back at Dao Yan, but found that Dao Yan sighed and said, "Let him come in, it's Yuan Hui's business." ”

Zhu Di immediately let people in, and Fa Neng hurriedly ran to Dao Yan's bed and said in a low voice: "Master, it's not good, Mr. Yuan committed suicide." ”

"What, where? Dead? Zhu Di hurriedly asked.

Fa Neng glanced at Dao Yan, and then said: "Wang Ye, he is dead, in the meditation room where he usually lives, just now the prince came, Fa Neng went to look for him, I was afraid that the prince and the master would have something to find him, but I never thought of the meditation room, and found that Mr. Yuan had committed suicide by taking poison." ”

Zhu Di had calmed down at this time, and said in a low voice: "Who else knows about this matter?" ”

"No, I locked the door when I found out, and I immediately came to report it."

At this time, Dao Yan interjected: "Fa Neng, you are doing a good job, what are Mr. Yuan's last words?" ”

"Oh, yes, there's a letter on the table, right here."

Zhu Di said: "Have you seen it?" ”

"No, the master has instructed, Mr. Yuan's affairs, no inquiry, no snooping, I dare not look at it."

Dao Yan said: "Fa Neng, give me the letter, you will stand at the door, with the guards of King Yan, from now on, you are not allowed to say a word." ”

"Oh, yes, master."

After Fa Neng went out, the sentry outside the house was doubled, Dao Yan took the envelope, found that it was sealed, looked up at Zhu Di, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief. There was nothing on the envelope, Dao Yan tore open the envelope, pulled out a blank piece of paper from it, there were words on it, the two people put their heads together to look at it, and found that it was a poem:

When I was young, I met the ancient cliffs in a different way, and the teacher re-taught the strange arts.

The double candle in the dark night can open the eyes, and the sun and the moon can be broken.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the turmoil arose, and the 10,000-horse army took heroes.

The Ming Dynasty established the world and leveled the world, and Hongwu divided the nine kings.

The guard armor knows the British master, and meets a strange monk in front of Songshan Temple.

If you want to do the Nine Heavens Ascending Dragon, you will raise swords for Yongle.

The ten ethnic groups even copied melons and vines, and the resentment attracted guests from the sky.

If you want to save the day, you can solve the upside down, and open up the business to level the four seas.

The ironclad male soldiers have become a thing of the past, and the sky is falling apart.

The heart wants to become the emperor and ask the will of heaven, and there is no return on the way forward on the cliff.

Since ancient times, there has been no good death, and the world has seen through the comfort of life.

If you return to the earth in a dream, you will know that the Buddha is the true god.

After the two looked at each other, Zhu Di asked, "Master, what does this mean?" ”

Dao Yan pondered for a long time and said: "'When I was young, I was in a different place and parted with the ancient cliff, and the teacher re-taught Qiyi. The double candle in the dark night can open the eyes, and the sun and the moon can be broken. It should be to describe the process of learning and art, and boast that physiognomy can judge the world; 'At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there was a turmoil, and the 10,000 horse army took heroes. The Ming Dynasty established the world and leveled the world, and Hongwu divided the nine kings. These sentences are also easy to understand, that is, the current situation. ”

"'Guardian Jia's Acquaintance with the British Lord' is talking about the first meeting with His Royal Highness, and 'Meeting a Strange Monk in front of Songshan Temple' is talking about the first meeting with Lao Gao."

"'I want to do the Nine Heavens Ascending Dragon, and raise a sword for the sake of Yongle.' These two sentences are also easy to understand, but this 'Yongle' old man doesn't understand what they mean. What about Your Highness? ”

"I don't know."

"'The ten ethnic groups even copied the melons and vines, and the resentment attracted guests from the sky.'" I don't understand these two sentences very well, there are only nine tribes, how can there be ten tribes? Gua Man Lao Wei also didn't understand what he meant, 'Resentment attracts guests from heaven' should mean that Zhu Yunwen came from outside the sky. Lord, what do you think? ”

Zhu Di didn't understand either, shook his head and said, "This king thinks what the master said is very right." Let's move on. ”

"'If you want to save the day, you can solve the upside down, and prosper the business and open up the borders and level the four seas.'" These two sentences can understand the meaning, but I don't know what they mean, the Ming Dynasty is leveling, why do you want to save the day and solve the upside down? ”

"'The ironclad heroes are a thing of the past, and the sky is falling apart.' This sentence, the old man pondered and meditated, and he didn't understand what it meant. What about the prince? ”

Zhu Di stared at these two lines of poetry for a long time, shook his head and said, "Master, this king doesn't know. ”

"Okay, let this go for a while, 'If you want to become the emperor and ask the will of heaven, you will not return to the precipice.' , these two sentences seem to say that they are ......" Dao Yan couldn't help but look up at Zhu Di, and found that the green tendons on Zhu Di's face were rising, his eyes were fierce, and he sneered, and said: "This Confucian, dare to describe this king like this, fortunately he is dead, otherwise this king will crush his bones and scatter ashes, so as to relieve the hatred in my heart." ”

Dao Yan couldn't help coughing, coughing heartbreakingly, the Fa Neng outside was anxious to speak and rush in, but he was tightly covered by the guards next to him and held him down.

Zhu Di lost his temper for a long time before he stopped, patted Dao Yan on the back, and said: "The remaining four sentences are easy to understand, that is, this old boy believes in Buddhism when he is dying." ”

Dao Yan smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that this is indeed the case." ”

The two were relatively silent, the room fell into silence, the atmosphere was very depressing, the Fa Neng outside the door was nervous and desperately struggling, and the guards were also very nervous, so they gave Fa Neng a punch, and the house and the house were immediately quiet.

After a long time, Dao Yan said: "Lord, Yuan Heng's affairs can't be publicized, the old man suggested that he be cremated secretly and buried in the temple, and said to the outside that he had returned to his hometown, and I would make arrangements in the temple, but I still need the prince to make proper arrangements outside." ”

"This is no problem, this king will arrange it."

"In addition, the old man asked the prince for a favor, Fa Neng is my mantle heir, please be merciful to the prince's subordinates."

Zhu Di didn't answer immediately, and was silent for a while before he said: "Master, this king can promise you this matter, but he can't leave your side in the future, nor can he leave Beiping, please master make proper arrangements." ”

"The old man thanked the prince."

"Okay, I'll leave eight guards behind to take care of the aftermath of Yuan Lao's killing. The master will take care of his body, and the king will send some Korean ginseng to the master to replenish his body. The king is tired, and he is going back to his house to rest. ”

Zhu Di stood up, took the note, then said goodbye to Daoyan, left eight guards, and left Qingshou Temple.
