Chapter 122: To each according to his needs
Zhu Bai thought that his monkey still robbed Daoyan, and he owed someone a favor, so he politely replied: "Ah, what is the matter with the monk looking for this king?" ”
Dao Yan: "The poor monk has what His Highness wants." ”
Zhu Bai scoffed: "What does this king want." Less so to make a fuss. ”
Dao Yan pointed to his bald head.
Zhu Bai was instantly aroused: "Okay, let's go inside and talk about it in detail." ”
He asked Fugui to guard downstairs and not allow anyone to come up, and he and Dao Yan closed the door in the room on the second floor of Guanya.
Zhu Bai asked, "Say, what can you give to this king?" ”
Dao Yan said, "Doesn't Your Highness want to become a monk? The poor monk can help His Highness get his wish. ”
Zhu Bai raised his eyebrows slightly: "Aren't you afraid of death?" ”
Lao Zhu said very clearly at that time: whichever temple dares to take in the King of Xiang, it will be washed in blood. Then the abbot was skinned and shown to the public.
Dao Yan: "I'm afraid." But if you don't give, you don't get anything. ”
Zhu Bai smiled: "Since the master does not hesitate to take this risk, the things he wants to get must be very valuable." ”
Dao Yan: "The things that the poor monk wants are insignificant to His Highness, but the poor monk is what he wants all his life." ”
Zhu Bai held his head: "Let's talk about what you want first." This king thinks again, whether he will answer you or not. ”
Dao Yan said: "When each prince becomes a vassal, the emperor will appoint a monk to accompany him. Please ask His Royal Highness to persuade King Yan and the emperor to let the poor monk assist King Yan. ”
Zhu Bai blinked, and looked Dao Yan up and down:, you ugly monk, you have a lot of vision and ambition, and you know how to occupy a good position by Yongle's side in advance.
Dao Yan continued: "In exchange, the poor monks can let His Highness enter the "Monk's Record" of the Miaozhi Monastery, which has a formal degree and is updated every year. It just so happens that this month is the time to report to the imperial court to update the list. ”
Zhu Bai said: "Aren't you afraid that my father will find out? ”
Dao Yan: "As soon as you enter Buddhism, you forget all the mundane things, and the common name is originally reported by yourself, and others don't know whether it's true or false." Besides, over the years, orphans have taken refuge in Buddhism. These orphans did not have a big name in the first place. His Royal Highness is young, and the Miaozhi Zen Temple is a small Zen temple, and the monks are only a hundred ......."
At that time, he was the only one who knew that Zhu Baidi was fine.
It's like he gave Zhu Bai the name of the law, and wrote that his common name was Ergou, and his parents died. No one could have imagined that this little monk who "grew up" in the temple was actually the dignified King of Xiang of the Ming Empire.
Unless Zhu Bai sues himself, Lao Zhu will never think of it and will not be able to find out.
Zhu Bai thought about the mystery clearly, and secretly ecstatic: Yes, when the time comes, I will shave my hair, put on my robe, and hold the degree, and I can come and go freely in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
Whether it's Zhu Yunwen or Zhu Biao, I can't find the person "Zhu Bai".
Sounds seamless, there is only one flaw, that is Daoyan.
Once this plan is implemented, Dao Yan will be holding on to my life.
Zhu Bai squinted at Dao Yan: "Do you know why I want to become a monk?" ”
Daoyan: "I don't know. His Highness naturally has His Highness's considerations. It has nothing to do with the poor monks. ”
Zhu Bai smiled: "You have paid too little. I'm giving too much. Not equal. ”
Dao Yan was secretly anxious. touched the nail at Zhu Di, and Zhu Bai was his last straw.
So he must make Zhu Bai agree!
Dao Yan asked, "What does Your Highness want?" ”
Zhu Bai thought for a moment and said, "Actually, this king has already told you my request when he first met the master. ”
Dao Yan lowered his eyes and thought about it, and at that time Zhu Bai said that he would give him the position of abbot in the future.
It dawned on him: yes, yes. If Zhu Bai takes control of the Miaozhi Zen Monastery and kills him again, no one else will know about it, and this is foolproof.
He had to admire the thoughtfulness of this little prince, and replied: "When His Royal Highness goes to Changsha, the poor monk will give up the presiding meditation to 'Mingzhi' on the grounds that he is in Yandi and cannot manage the temple." ”
Zhu Bai nodded: "You are really smart." Okay, then we'll get to that. You go and do a job for this king, and become a monk. The day when this king gets the degree is when you go to the king of Yan. ”
-----
Zhu Bai came back from the official tooth department, went to the grocery store to buy a small box of white candles, and then asked Fugui to take it to Zhu Di's bedroom.
Zhu Di was busy packing up his things, and he was also a little surprised when he heard Zhu Bai coming.
I met in the morning, and after saying everything that should be said, why did Zhu Bai come again.
Zhu Bai said with a smile: "I saw that there were good white candles, and I thought that the fourth brother would go to Zhongdu to read at night, maybe I could use it, so I bought some for the fourth brother." ”
Zhu Di sighed: "It's hard for the twelfth brother to think about it thoroughly. Broke the bank again. ”
The palace uses fish oil to light lamps, and it is not easy for him to bring it to China, and he can't buy it there.
This white candle is made of wax secreted by ash worms, the whole body is snow-white, burns for a long time, and will not drip wax tears, compared with the yellow candle made of beeswax is better to use, but the price is also several times that of the yellow candle, to two dollars of silver.
He was reluctant to buy it.
In this palace, Zhu Bai is willing to give it to him, and he can afford to give it to him.
Zhu Di asked Xu Changying to put the candles in the suitcase, and took Zhu Bai into the study.
"Is there anything else going on with the twelfth brother?"
Zhu Bai thought for a while and asked Zhu Di: "Fourth brother." I see that my father pointed out a high monk to the second brother and the third brother, why is there no one around you. ”
Zhu Di was secretly shocked in his heart. That Dao Yan just came to me and told me something that I don't have.
Zhu Bai is here to speak......
Is it that Dao Yan is talking nonsense to Zhu Bai again?
Zhu Bai closed the door, leaned in and whispered, "I think that although that Daoyan is ugly, he has a bit of resourcefulness. Compared with the monk who can only recite the scriptures, it is still useful for the fourth brother. ”
Zhu Di glanced at him.
Zhu Bai said: "He came to me today and said something very rebellious. Anyway, you have to bring the monk with you, instead of letting him talk nonsense everywhere, it is better to circle him. As long as he's by your side, he'll be at your disposal. ”
Zhu Di lowered his eyes, and the corners of his mouth hooked a cruel arc: in fact, he also thought of this. When the time comes, I really feel that this monk is useless, so I will find an excuse to kill him.
However, it was not good for him to ask Lao Zhu for himself.
Because I don't know if Dao Yan has told others this, in case it has reached Lao Zhu's ears, he went to Lao Zhu to ask Dao Yan again, didn't he just hit the muzzle of the gun?
Zhu Bai said: "If the fourth brother is the same as I think, just nod." I'll help you tell your father. ”
Zhu Di raised his eyes and looked at Zhu Bai's eyes: "Wouldn't this be too troublesome for the fourth brother?"
Zhu Bai grinned: "Don't bother, I'm just using my mouth." And Dao Yan said that in the future, I want to go to Miaozhi Zen Temple to play, and I can go at any time. The sparrows on the mountain will be caught by me, and I will not suffer. ”
Only then did Zhu Di dispel his doubts and said, "In this way, the fourth brother will work hard." ”
