Chapter 57: The Storm is Coming
When Tang Ming arrived at Qingshou Temple, the little monk had been waiting at the gate of the temple for a long time, and when Tang Ming got off the carriage, he led him to the temple.
The little monk seemed to be a little restrained in front of Tang Ming, every time he looked at Tang Ming, he lowered his head, and turned away after a sneak glance. Tang Ming, who didn't know why, thought that there was something dirty on his body, and he didn't find anything wrong after some searching.
I wanted to ask the little brother what was wrong, but at this time, when he arrived at the door of the temple, the little monk lowered his head and said shyly: "Senior brother, the master has ordered me to wait for you at the door since he used it too early, and the master and his old man have been waiting for you for a while, so go in quickly." ”
After speaking, he pushed the door open for Tang Ming, bowed to Yao Guangxiao in the room at the door and left by himself.
As soon as Tang Ming saw Yao Guangxiao, he dispelled asking about the little senior brother, and turned around and closed the door after entering the door. Yao Guangxiao slowly opened his eyes, his gentle gaze followed Tang Ming's movements, constantly looking up and down, and after a while, he made sure that he was moving freely and did not seem to be injured, so he closed his eyes again.
Yao Guangxiao's eyes full of concern caught Tang Ming's eyes, but he didn't expect the old monk to worry about his own safety. His heart warmed, he bowed ninety degrees, and said honestly: "Disciple Tang Ming visited the teacher, and I hope to forgive me when I come late at night." ”
"Sit down! Your kid came to visit late at night, did you already make up your mind? Yao Guangxiao said slowly.
Tang Ming's eyes lit up, and he sat opposite Yao Guangxiao, and said frankly: "The kid has indeed made a decision, and he has been in danger five times, which has made me bored. It is no better than before, when one person is fed and the whole family is full. ”
After a pause, seeing that Yao Guangxiao didn't have any expression, he continued: "Personal safety is a small matter, but now it seems that with the style of Jianwen's subordinates, they will definitely hit my family or the people around me." For the sake of myself, and for the sake of all the people around me who care about and love me, it is my disciple's responsibility to nip danger in the bud. ”
Yao Guangxiao was silent, his open eyes staring blankly at the roof, as if he was caught in a memory. Tang Ming didn't bother him, he waited quietly, he had such a look a few times before. He understood that Yao Guangxiao must have remembered the past at this moment, and the monks should have been empty.
He is also known as a high-ranking monk, and he should not have been in such a situation, but now it seems that he has not only appeared in such a situation, but also fallen into a deep situation.
I don't know how long it took for Yao Guangxiao to come back to his senses: "Ani Buddha, there are causes and effects in the world, Your Majesty's temper has become increasingly hot in recent years, and there seems to be an uncontrollable momentum, all of which started because of the Jianwen incident." Your Majesty is now firmly seated on the throne of the Ninety-Five, and success or failure is a foregone conclusion, and he should have relaxed his mind and let Jianwen go. ”
"It's a pity that Your Majesty has fought hard for four years, and it can be said that he has died in nine lives, so the grudge against Jianwen is too deep, and the hatred has taken root in his psychology, and Jianwen has reached the point where you live and die, and there is no ......solution!"
Suddenly hearing these words from Yao Guangxiao's mouth, Tang Ming also fell into contemplation for a while, there is a saying in the history books that Emperor Jianwen was killed by setting fire to the **** when Zhu Di attacked Nanjing, and there is another theory that he fled overseas and disappeared without a trace. But now it seems that neither of these statements is true.
Jianwen, a damn old thing, actually targeted him, hiding in the dark and always ready to plot against himself, ignite ****, flee overseas, disappear, these are all lies, Lao Tzu can't fight the emperor because he doesn't want to rebel, as for Jianwen, an old thing who can only hide in the dark and plot against people, Tang Ming doesn't believe that he can't fight him.
Yao Guangxiao was no longer speechless, and what he said just now seemed to have given Tang Ming enough hints. Of course, the smart Tang Ming also understood what Yao Guangxiao meant, Jianwen was already a piece of Zhu Di's heart, as if he had reached the situation of life and death. Then what else is there to say, the old man has already acquiesced to his plan to fight back.
As the crown prince and young master as the prime minister of the dynasty, the old man just couldn't express his intentions, but in and out of his words, it was already clear that he had acquiesced to Tang Ming's decision, and he would fully support him.
With Yao Guangxiao's support, Tang Ming believes that tomorrow in front of Zhu Di, everything will be very easy. The worries in his heart were gone, Tang Ming suddenly felt refreshed, and after bidding farewell to Yao Guangxiao, he took a group of guards back to Zheng He's mansion.
When Tang Ming fell asleep with peace of mind, the imperial study in the palace was still brightly lit. After listening to Ji Gang's report, Zhu Di smashed a pen stand in a fit of rage, and the movement in the room frightened the palace maids and eunuchs waiting at the door to kneel. The two little fathers-in-law trembled and carefully cleaned up the broken pen holders, and were drunk back by the angry Zhu Di.
Restlessly walking back and forth in the study for a while, Zhu Di suddenly stared at Ji Gang who was kneeling on the ground, and asked coldly: "Have you ever caught a live mouth, have you interrogated anything?" ”
"Back to the emperor, there are more than 30 people who rebel against the party, none of them escaped, and none of them survived, they were all dead soldiers, and when they saw that they couldn't escape, they committed suicide by taking poison." Ji Gang's forehead had already touched the ground, and the coercion emanating from Zhu Di's body at this moment made him frightened.
"Then Tang Ming has been injured?"
"No, Weihaihou is fine."
"From tomorrow, you take all the brocade guards in Nanjing City, and thoroughly check all the people in the barracks, if there is any suspicious person to kill, if next time I hear that there are traitors in the army, I only ask." Zhu Di forcibly suppressed the anger in his chest and commanded Ji Gang in a cold voice.
When Ji Gang heard this, he was like being amnestied, and he swore that he would thoroughly investigate and never leave anything missing. What Zhu Di didn't know was that because of his decision, he didn't know how many heads would fall to the ground in the barracks tomorrow. Even if he knew it, he was very likely to be indifferent, what is the least valuable in this era should be life.
As long as he can kill Jianwen and solve the hatred in his heart, let alone dozens of lives, it is hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands, and he guarantees that he will not even blink his eyes.
One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, let alone a supreme emperor, especially an emperor like Zhu Di, who will take over the world immediately, and he has killed countless people in his life. The military power is in his hands, and there is no other way to restrain him, the emperor, and human life is sometimes worse than an ant in his eyes.
Ji Gang ordered him to retreat on his own, carrying in his arms the token that Zhu Di gave him to come to Ru Zhen in person, with which he could ensure that he could do whatever he wanted in the barracks. Let a murderous executioner, with the token of supreme power, go to the barracks to investigate the rebels, this is undoubtedly a disaster, a bloody disaster.
