The breeze blows through the temple lake.

Spring is like a beautiful woman, and a sigh will cause the mist to be hazy.

The black-clothed monk sat cross-legged on the futon, tapping the wooden fish to recite Buddhist scriptures, and the sound of Nan Wu echoed in the pavilion, which made people feel calm and intuitive, and intuitively felt that the world was ethereal.

His Majesty the Emperor leaned to the side leisurely, his neck was slightly raised, he actually didn't know anything about Buddhism at all, he just liked to listen to the black-clothed monk chanting scriptures and worshipping the Buddha, in this ethereal sound, the impetuousness and anger in his heart would always disappear, and his heart was calm.

Zhu Di said with emotion: "King Qi should really come to you to dissipate his anger, the killing intent on his body is too heavy."

Yao Guangxiao said: "Buddhism is a thing that makes people feel good, and most of the people who come to me are seeking peace of mind, including myself, who chant sutras and burn incense all day long, but in fact they don't understand what Amitabha Buddha is, they just want to get a good night's sleep."

It is amazing that the monk of the dynasty, Si Zuo Shanshi, a generation of eminent monks who took on the responsibility of apologetics when Buddhism was weakened, now utters such contemptuous words of Buddhism.

This old monk is really a weirdo.

Zhu Di picked up the teacup on the small table and took a sip, the fragrance was overflowing, flowing between the tongue and teeth, and the aftertaste was endless. After putting down the teacup, the clear tea inside is rippling.

The emperor then said slowly, "I just told you about the change of the feudal territory of the clan, what do you think?"

The old monk said with emotion: "King Qi's good policy is really no less than Liu Han's encouragement order, and this is a conspiracy. After cutting the feudal domain twice, although the clan had no power to rebel, it was not a good strategy to let his father have children and grandchildren in the fiefdom, and to eat the court's fortune for generations. The transformation of fiefdom into land can be described as a great cause once and for all."

Zhu Di bowed slightly: "In this way, you, the old monk, also agree with King Qi's opinion?"

"But......" Yao Guangxiao's words turned around, "who are you going to let do this?" This person should be cautious in his choice, once he does this, his reputation will be ruined, but he can't just find someone to do it, otherwise the clansmen will not agree."

"So you're worried about this, don't worry, I and King Qi have already finalized the candidates."

Zhu Di laughed and said, "I have the same idea as King Qi, and we both plan to let King Han do it."

"King Han?"

Yao Guangxiao was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile, "You father and son really have a good heart."

But the old monk still had a question: "Will King Han do this kind of self-destructive thing?"

Zhu Di smiled lightly: "King Qi said, he will solve this matter, you also know, I have now begun to delegate power to King Qi, and those who should let go don't have to hold on tightly in their hands, people always have this day."

Yao Guangxiao smiled, "Since you already have an idea, then I don't need to say more."

Zhu Di bowed slightly, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a crooked-necked tree by the lake in the distance, and couldn't help frowning, "What's going on with this crooked-necked tree?"

This crooked neck tree is a weeping willow, fragrant in spring, with willow protruding young shoots and floating slightly above the water.

The old monk said, "Isn't this tree there all along?"

Zhu Di shook his head: "I don't like it, so I ordered someone to cut down this tree, it's an eyesore."

The crooked neck tree can always remind His Majesty the Emperor of some bad memories.

….

Although the tree in his memory was in Meishan instead of Jiming Mountain, when he saw that it was a crooked-necked tree, it would make His Majesty the Emperor very uncomfortable.

Two hundred years later, an emperor named Zhu Youzhen was covered with his hair and hanged himself on a crooked-necked tree in Meishan, and the Ming Dynasty has since been wiped out from the long river of history.

……

In the Zhao Prison of the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen, Zhu Gaoxian walked to a cell with two oil-paper bags in his left hand and two white porcelain wine jugs in his right hand and asked, "Is this the number?"

Lu Chaoyang nodded: "That's right, King Han is locked up in this number."

"Open."

"No."

Lu Chaoyang took out the key, untied the iron chain in the cell, and opened the door of the cell. The king of Han, who was lying on the couch made of blue bricks, heard the sound of jingling bells,

Tilted his head and glanced at it.

"Why are you here?" King Han asked.

Zhu Gaoxian walked into the cell, put the oil paper bag and wine jug on the table, and said with a smile, "Come and see my second brother."

He raised his hand to Lu Chaoyang behind him and signaled, "Old Lu, it's none of your business here, my second brother and I have something to discuss, you remove the patrolling jailers and don't disturb us."

"Yes."

Lu Chaoyang withdrew from the cell and waved his hand to disperse the jailers patrolling in front of the cell.

King Han glanced curiously at the things on the table: "What did you bring?"

"I specially ordered Guanglu Temple to prepare, a plate duck, and a mixed cold dish with wine. There are also two pots of old roast that I brought back from Liaodong, the weather is warmer, and the climate in Jinling City is humid, so it's a good day to drink." Zhu Gaoxian stretched out his hand to open the oiled paper bag on the table, and said with a smile.

King Han exclaimed: "The ducks of Guanglu Temple are a must, since I left the capital, I have never enjoyed the food of Guanglu Temple, today my brother is a blessing to you."

"Then we two brothers?"

"Whole!"

King Han jumped down from the couch, sat down at the table, tore off a duck leg from the duck, stuffed it into his mouth, and ate it with a shiny face.

While eating, he said unhurriedly, "What, this is to give my brother a guillotine meal?"

"Why?"

When King Han swallowed, he picked up the wine jug: "Calculate the time, the old man should also figure out how to deal with me now, he is such a ruthless person, how can he leave me as a hidden danger when he is old?"

"You're mistaking the old man this time."

Zhu Gaoxian picked up the flask and took a sip, "I came to see you with his will, he wants you to live, he doesn't want you to die."

King Han sneered: "How can I live, I am imprisoned in Jinling City like a lost wild dog, and I am stared at by the wolf cubs of the Jinyi Guard every day, and it is better to die alive."

Zhu Gaoxian picked up a piece of duck meat and put it in his mouth, and took another sip of wine to smooth his throat: "That's right, if it's normal, you should indeed be imprisoned in Jinling City, after all, what you did was a job to lose your head, and it was already considered the old man's mercy to be able to keep your good head."

"Sure enough."

King Han was about to take a sip when he suddenly realized that something was wrong, "What do you mean by this, what is normalcy? Could it be that there are still variables?"

….

"Now, there are indeed variables."

Zhu Gaoxian said leisurely, "The old man has one thing he wants you to do now, and it's done, the sky is high and the birds are flying, the night is like a knife and the night is like a knife, and you and I will never cross paths in this life."

King Han frowned slightly: "What do you mean by this?"

Zhu Gaoxian put down the wine jug and told the whole story of the plan to deal with the clan.

……

"You're crazy!"

King Han was shocked, "Damn me, am I his own son, isn't this letting me take the blame, if I do this, in the future, the Zhu family in the whole world will scold me alone, and I will be drowned in a sea of saliva!"

[Stable operation for many years, comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, old bookworms are using.]

King Han stood up after a moment's scrub, "Where did I get the mind to drink now, damn it, you pass a message to the old man, whoever likes to do this job, I won't do it anyway, the young fucking threatens me with death, Lao Tzu would rather die than carry this pot for him!"

Zhu Gaoxian said vigorously, "Isn't the second brother not interested in the matter of re-establishing the domain?"

"You don't have to say much, I don't listen...... Huh?"

King Han sat down honestly again, "Fourth, what did you just say, say it again, the second brother's ears are not very good, it seems that he heard it wrong."

Zhu Gaoxian said: "As long as you do this well, second brother, you can be regarded as atonement, and I will plead with the old man at that time, not only to keep your prince, but also to let you regain your domain."

King Han was shocked: "Fourth, don't make fun of your second brother and me, the old man can agree to this kind of thing, if he can promise to let me regain the domain, I will eat this table on the spot!"

Zhu Gaoxian chuckled and said, "Of course it's true, second brother, as long as you do this well, I will vouch for you, and I will definitely be able to let you regain your status, and from now on, the sky will be high and the birds will fly."

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and added, "Of course, I said in advance, second brother, it is naturally impossible for you to regain the domain of Shandong, and it should be that you will be sent to the border town."

King Han was a little suspicious: "You didn't lie to me, fourth, don't let me finish all the dirty work by then, you can give me a sentence, 'Hey, second brother, you can suffer the old sin this time, brother, I lied to you,'"

Zhu Gaoxian patted the eucalyptus and said, "Second brother, what kind of person do you think of me, brother, I will take a personality guarantee and swear to the first emperor, it is absolutely true!"

This first emperor is of course not referring to Emperor Jianwen, the "God of Micro Exercises", but to Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of Taizu Gao.

After the old man ascended the throne, as usual, he should respect Emperor Jianwen as the first emperor and Zhu Yuanzhang as Taizu, but if the old man did this, it would be equivalent to admitting that he was born in rebellion, and of course he couldn't do that.

Therefore, in the Yongle Dynasty, the existence of Emperor Jianwen was imperceptibly ignored, and the name of Jianwen was abolished, and the year was changed to the thirty-fifth year of Hongwu, and the following year was the first year of Yongle.

In fact, the thirty-fifth year of Hongwu is a year that does not exist at all, because Zhu Yuanzhang died in the thirty-first year of Hongwu.

In the Yongle Dynasty, they did not recognize Emperor Jianwen as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, called Zhu Di the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and honored Zhu Yuanzhang as the first emperor.

When King Han saw King Qi's sworn appearance, even Emperor Taizu Gao moved out, and he was suspicious in his heart.
