"Oh? There are hidden talents here? Zhu Su was a little surprised.

Although Yao Guangxiao is often calm and light-hearted, he is actually very proud.

The talents that can be valued by him must have real talents and real learning.

I haven't heard much about any of the great talents buried in the temple in the early Ming Dynasty......

Before leaving, the old abbot and his little apprentice sent Zhu Su and his party directly to the gate of the temple. Zhu Su didn't see the layman in Yao Guangxiao's mouth, and couldn't help but wonder: "Old man, I heard that the monk who stayed in your temple last night has returned?" Why don't you show up today? ”

"Amitabha, when the layman saw that the firewood in the temple was running out, he went up the mountain to collect firewood early in the morning." The old abbot clasped his hands together.

"I see." Zhu Su nodded. There are a large number of people in his group, and living in the temple for one night does use up a lot of firewood hoarded in the temple for winter. Tired people have to go up the mountain early in the morning to fetch firewood......

Zhu Su asked the old abbot to stay and not send him off, and after the group left a certain distance, he called the dog again to signal. The dog nodded, and galloped back to the old monk against the traffic:

"Old man, my Royal Highness has been warmly entertained by you, but you are tired of waiting for no firewood, and he is very unhappy in his heart."

"Therefore, I will give you fifty taels of silver and several catties of fine silver charcoal for you to spend the cold winter."

"Amitabha. Your Highness has the compassionate heart of my Buddha. "The old monk proclaimed the Buddha's name.

Seeing Zhu Su's convoy drifting away along the road until it disappeared completely, the old abbot turned his head and staggered back to the temple. The little apprentice was not big enough, and he staggered with his master, but at his side, a strong hand suddenly supported the old abbot.

It was the fat monk who didn't know where to hide and carried a large stack of dry firewood on his back.

"Amitabha, this little noble man acts brightly, why do you peep in the dark."

"How, but is it an old man?"

The old abbot's face was like an ancient well, and he just staggered forward by himself.

The abbot laughed. How old is that little doll, how can it be our old friend? The fat monk said with a smile. But the smile immediately rose, and a look of nostalgia appeared on his face:

"It's the man next to him who is often surnamed and looks quite like an old man of ours."

His gaze couldn't help but look at his right arm, which had rolled up his sleeves, and there was a scar left by a sharp arrow......

……

"You said that layman is a man who is proficient in martial arts?" Chang Mao was still enthusiastic after all, and got into Zhu Su's carriage. Now I'm chatting with Yao Guangxiao on the wheel.

"Yes." In the face of this prince who has no arrogance, Yao Guangxiao is also calm. "The poor monk looks at his actions and behaviors, he is quite heroic in the army, and there seem to be cocoons in his palms, so he thinks he is a martial artist."

"I may have been a military general before, but I don't know."

"It's a pity!" Chang Mao sighed. "Last night my forehand was itchy and tight. If you know that there is such a character in Zuo Jin, you should just look for him to learn from him! ”

"Xu is a pawn in the chaos of the former Yuan." Zhu Su said. Lao Zhu defeated Zhang Shicheng, Chen Youliang and many other princes in a row, and it is normal for some of the defeated troops to hide in the mountains. Maybe there is this kind of sergeant who has not yet left his name in history, and has gone into seclusion due to the end of the troubled times.

He is not interested in this person, and he is not as obsessed with it as Yao Guangxiao. One is in the history books of later generations, he does not remember any people who were very powerful later as monks at this time; Second, since this person is hidden in the mountain temple and is poor and happy, he thinks that he is no longer willing to stick to the disputes of the world.

The so-called twisted melon is not sweet, and I don't want to raise talents to attract attention, so why bother to forcibly disturb the hard-won peaceful life of others?

"How far is it from Suzhou?" Zhu Su asked.

"Just get on the boat, and it won't take much." Chang Mao replied. "Going forward to the Malay newspaper, boats can be sailed on the river these days."

"I'll wait for the boat from Lishui to go directly to Suzhou Mansion along the river."

"Didn't you say that Taihu Lake was flooded?" Zhu Su said a little strangely. "How can you still sail in the flood?"

"Harm, when does Bird Lake not rise three or five times?"

"It's going to go up, it's going to get used to it. Your Majesty asked you to go to disaster relief, but it was just looking for a reason, I really expect you, what else do you want those ministers in the court to do? ”

"Let's just go to play, so let's be loose and relaxed. We need to worry about the rest of the chores! ”

"Is that so......" Zhu Su really didn't know as clearly as Chang Mao about these things. It is said that Lao Zhu let him go to Suzhou, and he did not specifically ask him for some affairs. It's just that he is in the name of inspecting the floods of Taihu Lake on behalf of the crown prince Zhu Biao, is it really good to just enjoy the mountains and waters?

If there is something you can contribute, you can do what you can. Zhu Su made a decision in his heart.

Sure enough, as Chang Mao said, when the carriage and horse arrived in Liyang, there were imperial court official ships waiting here. Zhu Su and his entourage boarded the official ship from Liyang, waving the flag, all the way to Suzhou, along the river.

It didn't take long for Zhu Su to see the head of Suzhou City on the deck. After getting off the boat at the pier outside the city, I saw several people waiting at the pier. However, there are only a few people, but there are not some words in the book in which the prince Qin sent to a certain city, and the officials and squires of a certain city went out of the city to welcome the pomp.

Zhu Su complained in his heart, it was really a lie.

The leader was an old man with white hair, and when he saw Zhu Su getting off the boat, he arched his hand and said: "Minister Suzhou Governor Wei Guan, welcome His Royal Highness." ”

"Mr. Wei is very polite." Zhu Su raised his hand to help. immediately revealed a friendly face dedicated to the prince, and first helped the eldest brother Zhu Biao win over people's hearts: "It was supposed to be the eldest brother who came to see Mr. Wei, but because of the troubles in the court, I came." ”

"But the eldest brother has specially instructed me to ask Mr. Wei if he is still well."

Wei Guan is also a well-known Confucian, in the first year of Hongwu, Lao Zhu had hired him to lecture for the prince Zhu Biao, so Zhu Su from Zhu Biao, called him "Mr" to show closeness.

After listening to what Zhu Su said, Wei Guan smiled a little from ear to ear, stroked his gray beard and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness Prince Meng is worried, but the old minister's body is quite tough. ”

"His Royal Highness and Zheng Guogong came from Beijing, and the boat and car were tiring, if you don't give up, the old minister has prepared water and wine in the city, and let the old minister pick up the wind for the two?"

"That's a good idea." But Chang Mao smiled, "After all these days on the boat, the bird is indeed about to fade out of his mouth!" ”

He has always been good at wine, but this time Zhu Biao personally entrusted the safety of Zhu Su's younger brother, and he didn't dare to be careless. As the respect of the country, he personally ran before and after the deployment and inspection, which shows that he attaches great importance to Zhu Biao's entrustment.

When you arrive at Suzhou Mansion safely, you can breathe a sigh of relief first.

Zhu Su also nodded. After all, he was ordered by his father to go on patrol, representing the dignity of the court and the Zhu family, and he still needs to win the hearts of the court and the eldest brother during the turbulent season in Beijing, these things must be inevitable.

Moreover, the way this Wei prefect greeted him was so simple, it really added a lot of points in Zhu Su's eyes, and he wouldn't do some extravagant and wasteful pomp and circumstance in the future.

When I raised my eyes, I saw two people standing behind Wei Guan, although they were not wearing official uniforms, they were outstanding, and they each had their own manners. Zhu Su asked, "I don't know who the two behind Mr. Wei are?" ”

"Why don't you introduce this king?"

"Hehe, I'm about to raise my talents to His Highness." Wei Guan said with a smile. Pointing to the scribe on the left with a slightly arrogant face: "This is Gao Qi Gao Jidi, whose poetry and literary talent is well-known in Shilin, and his early admiration for His Royal Highness's "Linjiang Immortal" poetry talent, so he specially came to meet His Highness." ”

The man named Gao Qi bowed to Zhu Su, although Zhu Su's status was respectful, but he was young, so he politely replied.

"This is Robben." Wei Guan pointed to the ordinary rickety man on the right, but his face was a little sad. "But I heard the name of "Three Kingdoms" written by His Royal Highness, so I came to pay homage to His Highness."

"Three Kingdoms?" Zhu Su was stunned for a moment, and looked up and down at the middle-aged man named Robben. I didn't expect to be a book lover?

Did you come to ask for an autograph?

"Oh, I forgot to say it." Wei Guan patted his head. "This old word is said to be in the middle, and the number is Hu Haisan. Plain is written in the world. ”

"In the past, although he was a guest under Zhang Shicheng's curtain, he had real talent and real learning in his chest!"

After Wei Guan finished speaking, a pair of old eyes looked straight at Zhu Su, as if to witness whether this young highness would treat good people for this reason.

"What? Luo Guanzhong? ”

Zhu Su was shocked, and his calm appearance disappeared in an instant.

His unexpected reaction made everyone present startled.

Zhu Su was shocked and embarrassed at this time. This is the famous Luo Guanzhong? Although he wrote about the Three Kingdoms on a whim, he never expected to meet the author himself.

Copying books was cool for a while, but now it's blocked in front of the owner?

Well, the Qingming Festival is approaching, and it's a bit busy...... I'm missing a chapter today, and I'll make it up the day after tomorrow.
