Chapter 197: Monk Youfang

"The chariots, the horses, and the pedestrians have bows and arrows at their waists. The mother's wife went to see each other, and the dust was not seen on the Xianyang Bridge......"

On the bumpy official road, a group of carriages and horses walked slowly, as if playing in the mountains and rivers. Walk on the banks of the river. There are nearly 100 guards in this group alone, and most of them are freshly dressed and angry, and they wear long knives at their waists, so they know at a glance that they are the guards of large families. There were also seven or eight carriages, which almost filled the official road. Pedestrians on the official road knew at a glance that the nobles in the car were not easy to mess with, so they avoided them from afar. Fortunately, this noble man is also benevolent, and he only cares for himself and does not disturb the people.

"Amitabha, although His Royal Highness's "Soldier Chariot Travel" is quite ancient, it's just a pity that it doesn't fit the situation well."

In the middle of the carriage, the coachman, dressed in black, heard the poems chanted by the people in the carriage and turned sideways to the inside of the carriage. Pedestrians couldn't help but look sideways when they heard him proclaim the Buddha's name, but they saw that the head was shiny. It turned out to be a monk. It's just that it's really rare to let a monk be a coachman, so some people can't help but take a few more looks.

"It doesn't hurt if the situation is down, it's just that it's hard to get out of Beijing, and when I see this splendid river and mountain, I want to chant a few lines of poetry to talk about my feelings. When the curtain was lifted, I saw Brother Chang wearing a bow and arrow at his waist, and I only thought of this poem for a while. ”

The monk who acted as a coachman on the wheel was undoubtedly Yao Guangxiao, and the so-called nobleman in the car was naturally Zhu Su. casually chanted a poem and used the wrong canon, naturally because Zhu Su only had such a little ink. Thanks to his thick skin, he was bluntly pointed out by Yao Guangxiao, but he didn't blush, so he casually found a reason and fooled the past.

"You monk don't know anything, it's rare for Your Highness to chant poems for me all the time, and you still come to rap."

"I think this poem is good, it's both 'military chariot' and 'bow and arrow', and it's a hundred times stronger than those sour poems."

"His Royal Highness's poetry is very famous in Yingtian! Those sisters in Fuller House are nymphomaniacs who read the sentence 'Xiao Xiao looks at what clouds' every day. Your Highness, don't listen to this monk, continue to finish this poem for us, so that those sisters can also talk about our old mistakes! ”

A military attache wearing a blue robe and a bow and arrow at his waist came to Zhu Su's car, first scolded Yao Guangxiao twice, and then said loudly to Zhu Su who lifted the curtain. This person has a rough face and a heroic tone, which is quite incompatible with the noble robe on his body, but he is one of the few dukes of the Ming Dynasty today. It is Chang Yuchun's eldest son, Chang Mao, who is now the Duke of Zheng Guo.

Zhu Biao's wife is Chang Yuchun's daughter and Chang Mao's sister. Chang Mao is naturally also a natural prince. In the past, Lao Zhu asked Zhu Biao to send people to guard Zhu Su's left and right, in order to show the members of the court and the central government that the two brothers were close.

Zhu Su originally thought that Zhu Biao would at most send a team of prince guards to Suzhou with him, but he didn't expect that Zhu Biao would persuade the dignified Zheng Guogong Chang Mao to lead hundreds of elite soldiers personally trained by Chang Yuchun to serve as a cheap escort for Zhu Su.

Maybe I heard a lot of good words from my own sister-in-law, or maybe Zhu Biao specially asked Zhu Su Changmao, who is now with a bad reputation among the nobles because he killed Zhu Xian, but he is extremely enthusiastic about it. Zhu Sucheng was afraid to call him the Duke of the Kingdom, but he said that he listened to the life, and the two started from the old Zhu generation and directly referred to each other as brothers. Although Chang Mao is in a high position, he is like an ordinary rough man who has no heart and no city, and he can't even sit in a carriage, so he only rides a horse to guard Zhu Su.

"Brother Chang, I didn't write this poem." Listening to Chang Mao's words, Zhu Su could only explain. "This poem was written by Du Fu Du Gongbu, a sage in the Tang Dynasty, and it talks about the tragic situation of the people who were displaced during the war."

"Now I am thriving in the Ming Dynasty, and I am waiting to be revived, but it is inconsistent with the tragic situation in the poem, so Monk Yao said that I chanted this poem not very well for the occasion, and he was also afraid that I would be laughed at by people if I used the dictionary indiscriminately."

"Poems from the Tang Dynasty?" Chang Mao didn't think it was wrong. "It doesn't matter when his poems come from His Highness's mouth, we often think it's Your Highness."

"It's just a pity that the person surnamed Du chanted first, and I don't think I can sing it like that song or something. Otherwise, today we will always be able to touch the light of His Highness, and we will be able to talk a few times in the mouths of those sisters! ”

Seeing that he was still thinking about his sister in Fullerhouse, Zhu Su couldn't help but laugh. No longer answering the subject, just turning his head to look into the distance. I saw that the round sun on the horizon was already red, and the red glow was reflected in the rolling Yangtze River. In front, Di Meng turned his horse's head and came to the side of the car and said, "Your Highness, it's getting late." ”

"I'm afraid I won't be able to enter the city today. Where to set up camp, please also ask Your Highness to show me. ”

"Oh?" Zhu Su raised his eyebrows. According to the original itinerary, there was no need to camp in the wilderness, and it was all because of his own greed for the beautiful scenery on the road, which made the convoy follow the detour. When I thought about it like this, I felt a little self-reproach: "But I didn't think about it." The brothers who were harmed and Brother Chang slept together in the wilderness......"

"Brother Chang is an old man, and he should rely on you when he goes out. You say, where are we going to stay tonight? ”

Chang Mao saw that Zhu Su valued him so much, and he was also happy in his heart. He was originally following his father and often suffered hardships in spring, so how could he be so particular about sleeping outside the home? Hearing this, he smiled heroically and said: "Your Highness doesn't have to blame yourself, they also have to live in the military camp when they enter the city, and the military camp is not far from sleeping in the wilderness." It's just that you can find a place to camp on your own, and you can get some wild fun. ”

"I remember there was a temple on the hill ahead of me, and there was a water source. If we don't camp outside the temple, Your Highness, you can find a room in the temple to deal with it for one night, and it is better to make do with the rough men in the army in the cloth camp. What do you think? ”

His arrangement couldn't be more appropriate, and he was willing to take care of Zhu Su, how could Zhu Su have any reason to refuse? Even if you nod in agreement. So while it was still dark, a group of carriages and horses headed towards the temple that Chang Mao said.

When I arrived at the gate of the temple, it was dark. This temple is not very large, and it looks quite dilapidated, unlike the temple of Bifeng Temple, which has a lot of money at first glance. And there are only two monks in it, an abbot and a small novice. The first Tanma had already informed the abbot of the temple in advance, and the abbot was already waiting for Zhu Su to arrive on the side of the road.

"Old man, I happened to be at the wrong time to enter the city, but I bothered you." Seeing that the old man was kind and kind, and he was borrowing a treasure land, Zhu Su also said kindly.

"The nobles are here, and the temple is full of splendor! There is no such thing as a bother! The old abbot folded his hands, and saw that Zhu Su was also carrying Yao Guangxiao, a monk, thinking that this young nobleman was also a Buddha, and he looked even more solemn.

A large number of people and horses were stationed outside the temple, and Zhu Su took Di Meng and Chang Mao and others into the temple. Seeing that the old abbot was only carrying a small novice, Zhu Su couldn't help but wonder: "Old man, this big temple, isn't it only two of you, the old and the young, to take care of it?" ”

"You're old now, aren't you hard?"

"Thank you for your pity. In the past, the Northern Yuan Dynasty ravaged the rivers and mountains, except for Lao Gu, the rest of the monks either starved to death or suffered from military rebellion. It is already a blessing that the old monk can still serve the Buddha with a life. ”

"And the old man still has this little apprentice, and there is a monk who lives here to help do some mundane work from time to time, but it is not very hard."
