Volume 4 Wants to Compare West Lake to Xizi Chapter 221 Yongle the Great
The main gate of the Ming Imperial City is called Hongwu Gate, a wide white slate royal road from south to north in the door, the east side of the imperial road is the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, the west side is the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, which means to hold the two handles of civil and military. At the end of the royal road is the Outer Five Dragons Bridge, and across the Five Dragons Bridge is Miyagi, that is, the Forbidden City.
The main gate of Miyagi is called the noon gate, which is usually called the noon gate, and the noon gate is the inner five dragon bridges. Crossing the bridge is the Fengtian Gate, after the Fengtian Gate, there are the three magnificent halls, the three halls of Fengtian, the canopy, and the body, which are the places where the great ceremony of the country is held. To the north of the three major halls is the back court, in the middle of the Qianqing Palace, Kunning Palace, on the east side there are the Rouyi Palace, the Fengxian Palace, the Chunhe Palace, etc., and there is the Imperial Garden in the northwest, which is the place where the emperor and the concubines live and live.
At this time, it is a good season for spring, and the flowers in the imperial garden are blooming, and the phoenixes and butterflies are noisy, and there is a picture of the spring palace of the Ming Dynasty. However, the palace people who lived in it lowered their eyebrows one by one, and they were silent, and they didn't even dare to cough, because their master, who is also the master of hundreds of millions of living beings in the world, Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty, is playing against an old monk with white hair in the imperial garden, and the middle-aged man who is tall, handsome, and wearing a eunuch uniform is Zheng He, the chief administrator of the Ouchi who accompanied Zhu Zhanji to the south of the Yangtze River and had a relationship with Wang Xian in Suzhou.
The monk has a hooked nose, a pair of triangular eyes, and two longevity eyebrows, looking like an old vulture, he is the famous black-clothed prime minister Yao Guangxiao, the monk who subverted the Jianwen Dynasty Yuan Tianshi saw his appearance, thinking that he had the same face as Liu Bingzhong, the black-clothed prime minister of Kublai Khan of the Yuan Dynasty, and once wrote a poem to send him:
'The shore is merry and lightning-eyed, and it looks like worrying about each other.
In the Danqing of Lingyan Pavilion, not everyone may be exhausted. ,
Yuan Hui is worthy of being a master of physiognomy, as soon as he saw that this was the first strange person in the Ming Dynasty, he asserted that he was "a strange monk?" The eyes are triangular, shaped like a sick tiger, and the sex will be murderous. Liu Bingzhong was also liu, and Yao Guangxiao, who was still known as Daoyan at that time, did not disappoint Yuan Hui, he instigated and assisted Zhu Dijing, who was only a prince at the time, to succeed, creating a unique record of success in the rebellion of the vassal king to seize the world.
When Zhu Di was in the domain, he was surrounded by martial artists, only Dao Yan was a strategist, and after three years of Jing Jing, Zhu Di turned to the north and south, or decisive battles or transfers, and the battle and defense of the machine were all decided by Daoyan. Although this monk has not tasted the battle array, Zhu Di has won the world with his soldiers, and he thinks that he is the first in terms of merit
Jing was difficult to succeed, King Yan ascended to the great treasure and became the Yongle Emperor, so he naturally wanted to reward the meritorious heroes, and the first number one was this monk who made great contributions. Zhu Di restored his surname, gave him the name Guangxiao, and ordered him to grow his hair and return to the vulgar, but he just refused. The emperor gave him the beauty of the mansion, and the beauty was returned by him, and the mansion was converted into a temple by him. Every day, the crown is tied to the face and the clothes are still tied. At first, the emperor granted him the title of high-ranking official, but he insisted on not accepting it, and he only became a six-grade monk and the abbot of Chongguo Temple...... It was the temple he renovated from his house.
Later, in order to take care of other people's emotions, he reluctantly accepted the false titles of Zishan Doctor and Prince Young Master. But the more this happened, the more respectful the emperor became, calling him 'Young Master,' and never calling him by his first name.
"Young Master, the widow's chess skills have improved again" Wearing a black gauze winged crown, wearing a yellow dragon robe with a disc collar, and sitting in the north and facing south, it is natural that Emperor Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty saw that he had a burly physique, a dark face, profound facial features, blazing eyes, and a long beautiful beard. Although he has passed the year of the Mandate of Heaven, his beard is slightly gray, but his waist is still straight, sitting there with a big sword and a golden horse, and his gestures are full of the spirit of swallowing mountains and rivers: "General"
It turned out that the two of them did not play high-end and high-grade Go, but simple, direct and exciting chess...... Yao Guangxiao definitely likes to play Go, but Zhu Di likes this kind of soldier-to-soldier and general-to-general gameplay, and he can't stand the grinding of Go, so he has been playing chess for 20 years
With Zhu Di's superhuman intelligence and scheming, he has played chess for most of his life, and he can naturally be called a country, but unfortunately it is Yao Guangxiao, an immortal, whether the emperor can win him or not, does not depend on the emperor's state, but on the emperor's mood...... If the emperor is in a bad mood, he can be in a dangerous position, and if he is in a good mood, I'm sorry, it's basically a show to move.
The emperor is in a good mood today, and Yao Guangxiao doesn't plan to release the water, listening to the emperor's words, he smiled slightly, and resisted the plan. Zhu Di chased and beat hard, repeatedly pumped the general, and watched Yao Guangxiao's soldiers and elephants eat and cripple, and returned him to a cart and a horse.
The emperor killed all directions, and naturally he was in a good mood, seeing that he was in another army, thinking that this time he would be able to draw a phase and kill Monk Yao as bright as his head
was proud, but seeing Zheng He's face differently watching the battle, Zhu Di became vigilant, and after a closer look, he found that it was broken, and he got carried away and was calculated by Monk Yao
Yao Guangxiao ignored the emperor's scratching of his ears and cheeks, dropped his face, blocked the car, and said: "General"
The emperor hurriedly defended, but it was too late, and he was about to become a dead chess piece by Monk Yao with a car and a cannon to cooperate with the general.
Seeing that the good situation took a turn for the worse, no matter how he walked, he would inevitably be checkmate within three steps, Zhu Di touched a chess piece, thought for a while, raised his head and said to Zheng He: "Sanbao, last month, the lord of Sumatra asked the court for help, there is a pseudo-king named Su Yura, who steals the country, hoping that the Celestial Dynasty can send troops to capture him as the king and help him restore the country, do you know about this matter?" ”
Zheng He secretly snickered, the emperor came to this trick again, as soon as he couldn't accept the failure, he wanted to change the target, but his expression did not move at all, and he responded softly: "The minister has heard about it, and I heard that Su Yura also sent his younger brother to ask for canonization." "The high-ranking eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty also called themselves 'ministers', not slaves.
"Not bad." Zhu Di nodded, and snorted coldly: "What kind of thing is he Su Yula, and he dares to come and ask me for canonization?" If I had promised him, wouldn't it have chilled the lords of the vassal states? ”
"What does Your Majesty mean?" Zheng He asked tightly.
"I'm going to send you to the West again" Zhu Di said lightly, like a trivial matter. However, for this Yongle Emperor, who has made incomparable achievements, this is really not a big deal. After a pause, he glanced at Zheng He and said, "Send troops to fight against Suyula for the lord of Sumen."
Zheng He's eyes lit up, which was exactly what he was looking forward to the most, but he couldn't just think about himself, he had to think about the emperor. He said softly: "It seems that your lords are not very in favor of going to the West again. ”
"Hmph, it's nothing more than the old routine of violating the ancestral system and working hard and hurting money." Zhu Di snorted and said, "My ears have heard the calluses." "I slapped the table hard, shook the chess pieces, and the chess board was scattered, and I couldn't play it at all.
"In the past ten years, all the countries of the South Seas have come to the court, all of them have paid tribute to me and served me as the master" Zhu Di slowly stroked his beard, looking forward to Zixiong and said: "The lord of Sumatra was canonized by the widow himself, and now everyone is begging to come to the door, if I don't agree to send troops, won't I disappoint the South China Sea vassals?" After a pause, the emperor snorted coldly and said: "Those fools in the court only think that going to the West is a waste of money for the people, but they don't want to think that the profit I make from the tributary trade is ten times the cost of going to sea, and the widow still expects you to earn back money to fill the hole."
"The emperor is angry" Zheng He suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "The minister obeys the order."
Seeing that the monarch and the ministers played in pairs, Yao Guangxiao didn't look at the chessboard anymore, picked up the teacup, and tasted the Wuyi red robe with the scenery of the imperial garden. This tea was originally unknown, and then in the eighteenth year of Hongwu, Queen Ma got sick, and the hundred doctors were ineffective, and Ding Xian, the champion of the new department, offered his hometown tea, and the queen quickly recovered after drinking. Emperor Taizu was overjoyed, gave a red robe, and ordered Ding Zhuangyuan to go to Jiulong Cave in person and drape it on the tea tree to show the dragon's grace, and the big red robe was also named because of this. Since then, this tea has become a tribute tea exclusively for the royal family, and ordinary ministers cannot drink it. Yao Guangxiao doesn't drink alcohol, but he loves tea, and this big red robe is his favorite.
Seeing that Monk Yao drank tea without saying a word, Zhu Di was a little embarrassed and said, "What does the young master think?" ”
"Returning to His Majesty, the old minister has always supported the West. I can raise the prestige of my Heavenly Empire, form the heart of the four seas, and exchange it for treasures more expensive than gold, and fill the holes in the treasury, why not? Yao Guangxiao said lightly: "Last time, the old minister went to sea with Sanbao for two years, and after he came back, he often dreamed of it, begging the emperor to be merciful, and let the old minister be with him again." ”
"Don't even think about it" Zhu Di said categorically: "Last time, I was confused for a while, and I actually promised the young master to go to sea with Sanbao, but it turned out to be two years, I was looking forward to your return day and night, and the taste was too uncomfortable, and I didn't let anyone go this time." ”
"Hey......" Yao Guangxiao sighed and said, "Obey." ”
"Ha Luha, it seems that your master is still thinking about it." Zhu Di smiled at Zheng He and said, "Why don't you help him get up and do activities?" "He's going to end that game once and for all.
In the second year of Yongle, Zheng He worshipped Yao Guangxiao as his teacher, received the Bodhisattva vows, and his Dharma name was blessed and auspicious, so he could also be called ...... Auspicious Three Treasures.
"Master, the apprentice will help you up." Zheng He smiled bitterly and stepped forward to help, Yao Guangxiao smiled faintly: "It's time to get up, His Royal Highness Taisun has come down." Then he got up and saluted Zhu Zhanji, who was walking from a distance.
Zhu Zhanji was busy and polite, Yongle five years, he went out of the pavilion to study, Yao Guangxiao was one of the teachers who taught him, and he has been in charge of his studies all these years. Zhu Zhanji has great respect for this legendary teacher......
"Who's here?" Seeing that it was Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Di was in a good mood, so he didn't pay attention to the game of chess at all, turned to look at his grandson, twisted his beard and said with a smile: "Good grandson, come at this time, aren't you afraid that Grandpa Huang will let Master Yao teach you homework?" ”
"Say hello to the imperial grandfather," Zhu Zhanji kowtowed to Zhu Di, got up, and said with a smile: "If your grandson dares to come, he is naturally not afraid of the school examination." ”
"Ha Luha, your tone is quite big." From generation to generation, Zhu Di saw this black boy who was similar to himself, and the smile on his face was from the heart: "But whether it's bragging, or is there really a diamond diamond, grandpa has to try it before he knows it." ”
"Grandpa Huang only has to take the test." Zhu Zhanji raised his head and said confidently.
Wonderful recommendation:
