Jiming Temple's heavy soldiers, this old man can appear here, it's not easy, maybe you can see the emperor's grandson through him. Chen Yuan walked over and called, "Uncle, I met you again."

When the old man saw Chen Yuan, he was also shocked, anger flashed in his eyes, and then he was relieved, he had seen too many scenes, which was not surprising.

Chen Yuan patted his head and said with annoyance: "I knew that the old man was here, I should have brought the clothes back to the old man." ”

The old man said lightly: "Don't worry, I'll give it to you." ”

"Then thank you, uncle." Chen Yuan said, walked up to him and sat down, and said, "Looking at the old man's expression, he doesn't seem to be very happy, what's wrong?" ”

The old man laughed self-deprecatingly: "Alas, my son beat the gentleman I invited, no, the gentleman came to complain, so he sent him away." He slapped his head twice and sighed, "It hurts." ”

Seeing that the old man is not young, he got married early in ancient times, and his son is at least in his thirties, and he actually invited Mr., what kind of stubbornness is it to, right and wrong, but it is not easy to judge, Chen Yuan said haha: "There is an old saying, if you are not stupid or deaf, you don't do the affairs of your children and grandchildren, where can you manage so much, don't be angry, it's not worth it." ”

The old man smiled dumbly: "Seeing that you are not old, you will be relieved, yes, your children and grandchildren are older, and you don't want to listen to discipline anymore." ”

Chen Yuan knew that the identity of the old man was not simple, seeing that he had calluses in the palms of his hands, he was not a literati, he was probably a military general, and said with a smile: "Don't bully the young, I can only say two words." Seeing that the old man is in good spirits and has been weathered, he must be a golden iron horse at my age, crisscrossing the field. ”

When the old man heard this, he smiled heartily and nodded: "Don't bully the young, it's good, it's good." He said a few good things in a row, crossed his hands on his laps, as if remembering something, and sighed, "Yes, you are right, I am at your age, holding a long lance, riding a war horse, and killing a few people in and out on the battlefield." ”

"Admire." Chen Yuan bowed respectfully.

Under the old man's surprise, Chen Yuan explained: "If it weren't for the bloody battles of the old man and countless soldiers, how could there be a peaceful and prosperous world now, and how could I be able to cultivate in peace." ”

The old man was in a much better mood, turned his worries into joy, and said with a smile: "By the way, what's your name?" ”

"My name is Chen Yuan, a native of Jiangning."

"Jiangning Chen Yuan?"

"Exactly."

"Look at you, you're a reader."

"Yes." Chen Yuan nodded, and added a sentence in his heart, now he can only be regarded as a half-baked reader.

"You want to participate in this year's Autumn Wai, right?"

He asked what he was doing, Chen Yuan felt strange in his heart, nodded and replied, "Yes." ”

"How sure are you?"

"Ten points."

The old man heard that he was so confident, he didn't believe it, and was about to test him, but Chen Yuan continued: "I'm very sure that I can't pass the test." ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, then pointed at him and laughed.

Chen Yuan touched the back of his head and said with a smile: "I have a lot of headaches when I study, I don't want to understand it, it's not that material, it's the old lady in the family who forced me to take the exam." ”

The old man laughed and said, "You are honest." ”

"As the saying goes, the ruler is short, the inch is long, people are self-aware, if you can't learn it, you can't learn it, even if I cyst reflects the snow, it is estimated that there are only a few bright fireflies that I can remember."

"I still have a few acres of fertile land at home, and when the siege is over, my wife will be disappointed when she learns about the results, so she will go home and plough, so she won't starve to death."

The old man nodded, showing an appreciative look: "Not in a hurry, not impatient, very good." ”

Chen Yuan stood up: "I've been talking for so long, uncle, I'm going to do something, I have to leave first, by the way, uncle, do you know where the imperial grandson is?" ”

The old man said strangely, "What are you looking for him?" ”

"Don't hide it from the old man, I was ordered by King Zhao to come to see His Royal Highness Taisun, but I am a small person in the mountains and wilderness, and I got lost when I walked here."

The old man's expression changed in an instant, and his body couldn't help shaking, but he still smiled and pointed outside: "After you go out, turn right, walk about three hundred steps, and see a small hall, and you can see him when you walk in." ”

Sure enough, it's not an ordinary person, he knows where the grandson is? General, who are the generals at this time, Chen Yuan has a half-baked history, and he doesn't remember what people were in the last years of Yongle, Chen Yuan thanked: "Thank you, uncle." ”

The old man said: "Go, if you meet in the future, come and talk to me again." ”

After Chen Yuan went out, the old man looked at his back and muttered: "Don't be stupid, don't be deaf, don't be a family, hehe, interesting boy." Let's just let them make a fuss. He leaned back in the stone chair, listened to the sound of Sanskrit, and closed his eyes.

Chen Yuan walked along the place the old man said, and sure enough, he saw a small hall, and after entering, he saw Zhu Zhanji, who was meditating there.

Buddhism pays attention to meditation, only Taoism is meditation, and comes to the ancestral hall of Buddhism to cultivate, Zhu Zhanji's behavior is different, no wonder he calls himself a Changchun monk and runs to the small hall.

"Meet His Royal Highness."

Zhu Zhanji said that he was meditating, but in fact, he had been restless, after all, he was an upright and bloody young man, how could he have such a calm temperament. Being called to Jiming Temple by the emperor's grandfather also meant to make him reflect more, and he also pretended to be, Chen Yuan arrived, he had already found out, and he was surprised in his heart.

Seeing him salute, he said lightly: "There is no grandson here, you are from Wugong Mountain, I am from Changchun Mountain, you don't have to stick to secular etiquette." ”

"The little people came on the orders of His Royal Highness King Zhao to be secular and secular."

Zhu Zhanji stood up and said lightly: "Say, what's the matter with my third uncle?" ”

Zhu Zhanji's tone was flat, and he secretly shouted anger. That day, he was still angry, Chen Yuan secretly complained, and said stubbornly: "King Zhao intends to dedicate Guo Kun to His Royal Highness Taisun." ”

Zhu Zhanji's expression sneered: "My third uncle is suddenly so generous? It's not like I'm going to do something for him. ”

"Taisun Yingming." Chen Yuan complimented him before continuing, "King Zhao hopes that His Royal Highness can say a few kind words in front of His Majesty and let him repair the palace in Shuntian." ”

"Dreaming." Zhu Zhanji flicked his sleeves and said angrily, "Don't think I don't know what he has in mind, he is complicit with the second uncle, isn't it just for the position of the crown prince, a little Guo Kun wants me to speak, it's just delusional." ”

"Chen Yuan, in the face of the third uncle, they are all a family, I don't embarrass you, you go back quickly and tell him that it is best to be self-aware."

Chen Yuan was unmoved, neither humble nor arrogant: "Your Royal Highness, can you listen to Xiaomin say more." ”

Zhu Zhanji hesitated for a moment and said, "If you have anything to say, say it." ”

"Your Highness knows why His Majesty gave permission to King Zhao before."

Zhu Zhanji was shocked.

Chen Yuan continued: "Your Majesty is old, you will miss your son, he is such three sons, who came over in the bloody wind back then, and now he will want to see them even more." Also, His Majesty's mind is also thinking about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness. ”

"What?"

"Your Highness, think about it, how much King Han and King Zhao have done for the position of the crown prince over the years, and let them go to the place, will they feel at ease? At the time of the Jingjing, they fought bloody battles, and they had a lot of prestige in the army, and when they arrived at the place, they accumulated dead soldiers and secretly stockpiled weapons, who could manage it. ”

"Your Majesty has been fighting for many years, and he knows his son very well, he doesn't want a second martyrdom, only he can suppress them, so he has always kept them by his side."

Zhu Zhanji's expression changed, from the initial anger, to shock, and finally became suddenly enlightened, like an enlightenment. He said why the imperial grandfather has always been soft-hearted and indulged them, thinking that he was old and confused, it turned out that the imperial grandfather was the one who understood best.

Zhu Zhanji turned his back and thought for a long time before turning to Chen Yuan and saying, "Say, what do you want?" ”
