The spring breeze blew through the courtyard of Jiming Temple, and also blew through the heart of the old emperor, slightly rippling.

"Little master, can't you really bring my concubine in?"

The old emperor's face was a little gloomy, and when the concubine on the side saw the emperor's appearance, she knew that the emperor was really angry, and hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty, the concubines will go to the main hall to pray for blessings first, and you will go to see Master Daoyan first." ”

After speaking, without waiting for the emperor to react, the concubine Niangniang directly broke free from the emperor's hand, covered her face, and walked directly outside.

When the old emperor saw his beloved woman sadly leaving, he wanted to chase after him, but was interrupted by a voice, "Slow." ”

After hearing the voice, Xiao Shami hurriedly turned around and said to the room, "Master Daoyan." ”

"Hmm. ”

As the voice sounded, the door of the room was opened from the inside, and Yao Daoyan, dressed in a black monk's robe, walked out of the room with a turn of Buddhist beads.

"I've seen Your Majesty. ”

Yao Daoyan's expression was calm, and in the face of the angry emperor, he was still calm and light, as if the person who had just stopped the concubine from entering the room was not him.

Even if he was a little angry, Long Yan was angry, and the emperor still respected his mentor, "Teacher." ”

Yao Daoyan nodded, waved his hand, and asked Xiao Shami to retreat, there are some words that outsiders can't hear.

"Is Your Majesty going for a walk, or is he coming to this room?"

Yao Daoyan pointed to the room behind him, and then pointed to the courtyard in the distance, where there was still some spring, and the pear tree in the courtyard had green buds sprouting from its branches and leaves.

"Let's go. ”

The emperor is wearing civilian clothes today, a brocade dress, looks like a rich man, walking in the Jiming Temple, some of the little monks who have just entered the temple and have not seen the emperor's true face are a little curious, what is the identity of the old man who can be personally accompanied by Master Daoyan of Jiming Temple?

"Your Majesty doesn't blame the old monk for acting like that today?"

Yao Daoyan looked at the emperor who was walking half a step in front of him, and asked calmly.

When the emperor heard this, he stopped, put his hands behind his back, squinted his eyes, and looked at the teacher in front of him who had taught him knowledge since his own enlightenment, and suddenly felt a little strange.

"Why does the gentleman ask that?"

The emperor did not answer Yao Daoyan's question, but asked his own. The emperor did not like to take the initiative in the hands of others, not even his own mentor.

Yao Daoyan, who knew His Majesty's personality well, smiled slightly, and the Buddha bead in his hand turned faster, "When that woman entered the harem, there were many difficulties, Your Majesty once came to the old monk and asked the old monk if there was a way. ”

Yao Daoyan took the Buddha beads in front of him, sat on the railing on the side, and continued: "Your Majesty, do you still remember how the old monk answered. ”

The emperor was silent for a moment and said, "At that time, the gentleman said, let it be natural and wait and see. ”

Yao Daoyan, who received the answer, smiled even brighter, "Your Majesty's memory is really good, and you still remember such a trivial matter." Then the old monk wants to ask Your Majesty, what is the final result?"

The result?

Do you still need to ask, now Yuhuan lives in Yuhua Palace, which is naturally the answer. But the student of the oldest monk, the emperor knew that Yao Daoyan asked himself like this, so he naturally had his reasons.

Suddenly, the emperor remembered something, when Yuhuan entered the palace, his mother was still there, and Queen Xia, who was the original match, was abolished by herself, and the position of the lord of the harem was empty

After hanging for a long time, and when the jade ring was in the Miao Xiang Nunnery for a long time, he could never connect the jade ring into the palace.

moved the mind of Liyuhuan as the queen, but as soon as he finished talking to the queen mother, he knew that the queen mother scolded directly, saying that the woman was a red face and a fox, and the royal family of the Ming Dynasty must not let such a woman enter the palace.

This led to a tense relationship between the emperor and the queen mother, and for a while, above the court, the excerpts about the canonization of the queen directly filled the imperial study, and most of them were opposed, and only Yang Zhao was in favor.

Later, the emperor had no choice but to come to his mentor and ask Yao Daoyan if there was any way, but Yao Daoyan only gave these eight words.

"Go with the flow and watch what happens. ”

As for the rest, the old monk didn't do anything, and even the queen mother privately asked someone to ask the old monk what he told the emperor and how to deal with it.

The old monk sent the Queen Mother back with a straight word.

"You are a dying person, and you still care about what you do after death, is it possible that you want to completely split with your son before you die, so that in the end you don't even have the opportunity to accompany the Taimiao, or you still can't even enter the imperial tomb. ”

The angry Queen Mother directly smashed all the precious calligraphy, paintings, and antiques in her room to vent her anger.

As the patriarch of the Three Dynasties left by Taizu to his son, Yao Daoyan, the Queen Mother is still respectful, even if it is such an almost abusive language, it is useless for herself.

In the end, the Queen Mother was also a little helpless, and went directly to Qin Tianjian, who was still in charge of Yuan Tiangang at that time, and asked about the fortune of the country and the woman's fate.

It's just a pity that when Yuan Shouzuo saw the Queen Mother at that time, he only said one sentence, "The number of ministers looking at the Queen Mother's life is not much, and the Queen Mother should think about her future affairs first." ”

The angry Empress Dowager left Qin Tianjian directly. But as a son, the emperor, who has always been filial to his mother, didn't know when he knew the news, and he couldn't care about being angry with his mother, so he came directly to the queen mother's bedroom, accompanied the queen mother, and ordered someone to find Yuan Shouzuo. It's just a pity that since then, Yuan Shouza has also disappeared, and Qin Tianjian has only now reached the hands of Yuan Shouza's disciples.

The emperor had no choice, so he came to find his mentor, Yao Daoyan. Yao Daoyan closed the door directly, saying that he wanted to understand the scriptures, and within 100 days, no guests would be seen, even if it was the emperor, and there was no urgent matter.

Since then, the emperor has understood why his teacher gave him those eight words.

returned to the palace and accompanied his mother on her last journey. There was no one in the palace who could stop him from welcoming Yuhuan into the palace. As for those ministers, as long as they were not crowned queens, they turned a blind eye and let the woman enter the palace.

"Naturally, it's good, Yuhuan enters the palace. ”

The old monk nodded, stood up from the railing, and continued to walk forward, although the emperor could not figure out what the teacher was going to do, but he could only follow the teacher.

The two walked through the backyard and came directly to the main hall of Jiming Temple, where the statues of Buddha were shining golden and lifelike.

Although the Jiming Temple was built by the emperor's order, the people who come and go on weekdays are some nobles or ladies, but there are still some villagers around.

What's more, some nobles crawled out of the pile of dead people, and they didn't believe in these Buddhas at all, but more in the knife in their hands.

In this way, in addition to those family members and villagers, Jiming Temple is convenient

No one returned.

Today, when I came to Jiming Temple, the emperor did not make a big fanfare, but it was a private visit, so in the main hall, there were only a few people who knelt down to worship the Buddha statue.

Yao Daoyan held the Buddha beads in his right hand, pointed to a lady who knelt on the ground in front of him, and asked the emperor who looked like a rich man next to him:

"Your Majesty thinks this lady's kneeling is useless?"

After the old emperor put his hands on his back, a momentum emanated from the old emperor, "Naturally, no." ”

Yao Daoyan smiled slightly, "Then Your Majesty, can you tell the old monk that this lady knows that it is useless to bow down like this." ”

The emperor frowned slightly, he didn't know what this lady was thinking, "I don't know. ”

Yao Daoyan shook his head when he heard the emperor's answer, obviously dissatisfied with the emperor's answer.

"Your Majesty, if you don't even know what your people are thinking, then what is the future of the Ming Dynasty?"

The emperor's hands were not behind his back, but stood at his sides, and Yao Daoyan continued: "Your Majesty came to Jiming Temple for nothing more than two points. One of them is that His Majesty misses Lao Chen and wants to know how Lao Chen's health is. To put it more bluntly, Your Majesty wants the old minister to die in front of you. ”

As soon as these words came out, a person like Rao is emperor who was extremely deep in the city was also panting, his face was gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, the teacher really understands me." ”

Yao Daoyan is right, the emperor really came to inquire about Yao Daoyan's physical condition, because he wanted Yao Daoyan to die.

Why?

The emperor and Yao Daoyan have been students and gentlemen for many years, and he knows how terrifying this "imperial teacher" left by his grandfather is, and the emperor also knows how unbearable his three sons are.

It's okay when he is in power, if he goes west, then this "emperor", his three sons, none of them can control this "emperor".

Yao Daoyan did not get angry when he heard the emperor admit what he said, but smiled with relief and waved his hand at the two monks standing at the door.

The two monks at the door drove away everyone in the hall with great interest, and closed the door of the hall, in this hall, there were only this pair of masters and apprentices, this pair of monarchs and ministers.

"Second, Your Majesty wants to ask who the old monk has chosen as his heir. ”

The emperor, who was said to be thinking about the center one after another, had a gloomy face that could drip water, and he was silent and did not say a word. But Yao Daoyan continued as if he hadn't seen the emperor's face: "Sir has been strict and harsh with Your Majesty for many years, even if Your Majesty has done those things that satisfy Your Majesty, Sir has not said a word of praise for Your Majesty. ”

The emperor stood there at this time, and the current emperor seemed to be no longer a king, but now he was more like a student listening to his husband's teachings.

"Your Majesty, in fact, some time ago, when the three princes were competing for the crown prince, they all came to find Mr., but unfortunately Mr. was all closed, did not reconcile them, and let them earn and rob by themselves. ”

"I thought that His Majesty would issue an order to kill the two people who failed after the three princes competed for the crown prince, but unfortunately His Majesty did not. ”

"The gentleman was both relieved and disappointed. Your Majesty, as a father, can't bear to kill his son, which is excellent. But the most king, His Majesty is not ruthless enough. ”

"Your Majesty, a lonely man is not called in vain. ”
