In the sixteenth year of the founding of the Ming Dynasty to Yongle, but in fifty years, Zhu Yuanzhang was illiterate, and in his bones he rejected literati. Many literati were mocked and whipped by him, and none of his sons were too rich to mention their orders, and earnestly taught his sons the etiquette of kings and courtiers, and the court system, at most they invited a teacher to teach them to read and write.

Zhu Di, the king of Yan, is also a perennial war, his culture is not high, and he even made a holy decree in oral language, neglecting his son, and after the martyrdom, his son has grown up. Zhu Gaosui was known for his arrogance and domineering before, although he has reined in in the past two years.

In order to build the Zhao Wangfu in Beiping, he was a dead beggar, and the hundred officials said to stop it. Zhao Hengdao and Dong Zizhuang also admonished him, what is it, in the eyes of King Zhao, his father is his father, the emperor is what outsiders call him, home is the country, the country is home, and if you start a temper, it doesn't matter if you are sent by the emperor or not, you will still be beaten.

At this time, Chen saw from a distance that the two officials wearing red official robes, one with a lame leg and the other with a red five-fingered mountain on his face, were angry. Dong Zizhuang arched his hands to the sky, raised his neck and said inside: "I, Dong Zizhuang, am more than seventy, and today's reward from King Zhao is unforgettable, and the lower officials will definitely thank the emperor." ”

To be beaten is to be beaten, to complain is to complain, Dong Zizhuang also said that in the clouds, he heard Zhu Gaosui in the house say angrily: "Go, go, you all go and tell the old man one by one, saying that this king is not doing his job, cruel and bad, let him remove this king, the king of Zhao." ”

Zhao Hengdao and Dong Ziye were both close to old age, with white hair, and they were so angry that they almost fainted to death, looked up to the sky and sighed, and ran towards the palace in a huff.

Chen Yuan and Yuan Bin approached, and they heard Zhu Gaosui's anger inside: "Whoever is sneaking around outside, get in." ”

The servant said in a low voice: "Wait a while, let's go and report to the prince." ”

After a while, the dishes and chopsticks inside were damaged again, shattered to the ground, and Zhu Gaosui said angrily: "Get out, bring it in when you come, where are those many bastard rules." ”

The servant ran out of the ground and said in a loud voice: "The prince has seen me!" Then he came to Yuan Bin, lowered his voice and instructed: "The prince is angry, the two of you speak carefully." ”

Yuan Bin and Chen Yuan nodded and walked inside.

As soon as he entered, Yuan Bin took Chen Yuan to his knees: "Yuan Bin (Xiaomin Chen Yuan), I have seen the prince. ”

The system of kings descends to the first rank of the Son of Heaven, and the courtiers still belong to the courtesy of the monarch and the ministers, even if it is a product of the dynasty, they have to kneel and bow when they see the prince, how can Yuan Bin and Chen Yuan be an exception.

Zhu Gaosui said impatiently: "Excuse me, get up and speak." ”

Yuan Bin and Chen Yuan stood up and looked secretly, Zhu Gaosui was wearing a loose gray Yanju regular dress today, the straps were loosely tied, and the sleeves were rolled up high.

"This king has not been heard, what happened to Yuan Baihu?"

Yuan Bin said: "Back to the prince, Jiangning Chen Yuan asked to see the prince, hoping to relieve the prince's worries. ”

"Oh?" Zhu Gaosui glanced at Chen Yuan a few more times, and was suspicious.

Chen Yuan didn't beat around the bush and said: "Xiaomin heard that the prince built the palace, and the court refused to allocate money, so he came to relieve the prince's worries. ”

Zhu Gaosui lost his temper just now, because of this, when he heard Chen Yuan mention it, he became interested.

"Xiaomin is willing to be a lobbyist for the prince and persuade His Royal Highness Taisun to come forward to invite the saint, and with His Royal Highness Taisun coming forward, many ministers naturally have nothing to say."

Zhu Gaosui's eyes lit up, and then he frowned again, and sneered: "You don't know, my eldest nephew, I wish I was far away from the capital, and his father is so stable as the crown prince." ”

Chen Yuan said in an affirmative tone: "Xiaomin is willing to go for the prince." ”

Zhu Gaosui was moved, and at the same time thought that if Zhu Zhanji agreed to speak, it was really possible for the household department to allocate funds. If the lobbying fails, you have nothing to lose. Then he said: "Okay, this king is waiting for your news." When it's done, what reward do you want? ”

"Xiaomin's second brother-in-law, Dong Ming, is still in the Nanjing Prison, and Xiaomin hopes that the prince can pardon him."

Zhu Gaosui said with a smile: "Whether a person lives or dies, this king can still call the shots, right." ”

Chen Yuanxi said: "Thank you, Lord Wang." This face-saving kung fu wants to be the master, and if he can pardon Dong Ming's situation, if he is not "happy", he will reveal his flaws. Then he said, "Xiaomin wants to ask the prince for a person." ”

Zhu Gaosui was curious: "Who?" ”

"Guo Kun."

Zhu Gaosui was even more curious, frowning at the same time.

"Lord Wang, convince His Royal Highness that the little people can't leave empty-handed. At present, what His Royal Highness Taisun is worried about is that he is afraid that you will continue to use Guo Kun to make a fuss. ”

Zhu Gaosui frowned for this reason, Guo Kun's reason for confessing was still untenable, he knew that in this matter, the old man punished Li Shimian and belittled Yang Shi, and this case contributed a lot. The goal has been achieved, so he wants to deal with Guo Kun secretly, so that Zhu Zhanji will continue to be worried.

Chen Yuan didn't know about Yang Shi's debasement, Yuan Bin knew, he added: "Now that Li Shi is reluctant to belittle Yang Shi, the prince's purpose has been achieved, and Guo Kun has not shown any flaws in Jinyiwei's edict and prison, presumably Nanjing Mansion can't be tried, so he simply sent it to the grandson, so that he owes him a favor, maybe Chen Xianggong really persuaded the grandson to speak for the prince." ”

Yuan Bin's words made Zhu Gaosui pause, and he had no scruples, and said, "Okay, it's accurate." ”

"The old man went to Jiming Temple today, my eldest nephew must be there, you go to Jiming Temple to find him." Zhu Gaosui said as he took out the token and gave it to Chen Yuan.

Zhu Gaosui was anxious about the repair of the mansion, and he couldn't sleep well for many days, Chen Yuan's suggestion made him impatient.

"Yes, lord." Chen Yuan replied.

Out of the palace, Yuan Bin said: "Brother Chen, I can only go here, and leave the rest to Brother Chen." ”

Chen Yuan said gratefully: "Thank you Brother Yuan for your help, another day, I will treat you." ”

Yuan Bin was stunned for a moment, and then turned to laugh like looking at the "iron rooster": "Okay, I will definitely arrive." ”

Chen Yuan came to Jiming Temple, and the stairs up the mountain were heavily guarded and closed to the public. He pulled out the token, and the guards checked it before letting him in.

Jiming Temple is located at the eastern foot of Jiming Mountain, with a long history and began in the Three Kingdoms of Soochow.

In the eighth year of Liang ordinary in the Southern Dynasty (527 AD), the temple was built, called Tongtai Temple, Xiao Yan, Emperor Wu of Southern Liang, gave up his life in Tongtai Temple that year, and changed the year name to the first year of Datong. The temple is behind the palace palace, the west of the road outside the north gate, the south of the temple is separated from the Taicheng, the west of the road in the east of the Guangmo Gate, the palace opens a back door, opposite to the south gate of the temple, the name of the big pass gate, the south gate of the temple. In the temple to build the big Buddha pavilion seven layers, pagoda nine layers, the main hall six, the small hall more than ten places, the east and west each have three layers of the platform, build the mountain and build the wall, in the northwest, the cypress hall is in it, there is the Xuanji hall in the southeast, the stone outside the hall is planted with trees for the mountain, there is a cover of the heavenly instrument, the torrent water turns with the drop.

In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, after Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately sorted out Buddhism, most of the monasteries in Nanjing moved to a quiet place outside the city, only the Puji Zen Master Temple on the Jiming Mountain still stands in the city, and gave the Japanese tribute white jade Buddha Guanyin statue to be enshrined in the temple, the abbot is not a peak.

In the eighteenth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1387 AD), Zhu Yuanzhang built Jiming Temple and built five levels of floating maps. Li Xin, the Marquis of Chongshan, was ordered to supervise the construction of the temple, rebuild the temple, demolish the old house, and expand it.

In the distance, the melodious bell came, Chen Yuan's heart was shocked, and he suddenly forgot the hustle and bustle of the world.

Walking into the temple, crossing the threshold, the cigarette smoke was filling, and I saw a few small novices cleaning.

Where to find the emperor's grandson, Chen Yuan was dumbfounded, entered the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the huge statue of Sakyamuni came into view, next to it is the lifelike statue of the Bodhisattva of all walks of life, the big pillar in the hall, engraved "Nan Wu Amitabha Buddha".

The hall was empty, Chen Yuan had no choice but to withdraw, and even the novice who was sweeping the floor was gone, so he had to walk towards the side hall.

Chen Yuan walked, saw a garden, wrote "Guanyou", and went in to have a look.

Suddenly taken aback, I saw an old man sitting at the stone table in the garden, with his hands on his lap, scarlet swallow in his regular clothes, full of sadness, as if he had just lost his temper, and he looked at the evergreen tree in front of him with dull eyes.

Chen Yuanxin said, isn't that the old man who slept on the street that night to give himself clothes?
