Many things in the world are just one thought, and choosing the opposite is another choice. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Because of the sudden assassin, Ye Cheng did not stab the Yuehua Sword into Zhu Di's chest, and now in front of Zhong Qing, Ye Cheng's revenge is even weaker.

In fact, it is not only because of Zhong Qing, through these short contacts Ye Cheng also found that no matter what kind of husband or father Zhu Di is, at least in terms of governing the country, he is still the most competent candidate for the king, if Zhu Di is really dead, Daming will definitely fall into the kind of chaos that Zhong Qing said, and at that time, it will not only be a family that will suffer, but the people of the whole world.

After thinking about it, Ye Cheng decided to give up the idea of assassinating Zhu Di for the time being. When Ye Cheng told Zhong Qing his thoughts, Zhong Qing was overjoyed.

For some reason, when Ye Cheng gave up this idea, his heart suddenly became extremely relaxed.

"By the way, Qing'er, isn't it luxurious that you live here, I saw just now that there are attendants and maids, which are many times better than the place where I live. Ye Cheng calmed down at this time, and only then did he begin to notice the environment of the house where Zhong Qing lived.

"Yes, it's not strange for you to say it's strange, I don't have much credit, even if I have, I definitely can't compare to you, but I was arranged in such a good courtyard, I asked those servants, and they said that it was specially ordered by His Royal Highness Zhu Gaoxu. Zhong Qing said.

"Zhu Gaoxu, why did he arrange your residence so carefully?" Ye Cheng was puzzled.

"You ask me, but who am I going to ask, whatever, it may be that the emperor's son is willing to show off, anyway, he let me live, and I didn't take the initiative to live, even if he wants me to do something for him in the future, I can have a lot of excuses to refuse." Zhong Qing said proudly.

Ye Cheng smiled: "You really have a lot of bad intentions, and you won't suffer anywhere." ”

Just when Ye Cheng was relaxed here, Zheng He over there arrived at the mansion of Monk Daoyan, and his face was full of solemn expressions.

"That's it, Master, what's the mystery in this, please tell Master," Zheng He told Dao Yan about the situation when Shen Shi met Zhu Di, and even the assassin's matter was told the truth.

"Zheng He, you have also seen it when you return to Beijing this time, the capital today is no longer the mansion of King Yan at that time, and the emperor today is no longer the King of Yan at that time. Dao Yan said slowly.

Zheng He nodded, although he had already taken away all the subordinates in advance, Zheng He still subconsciously looked back and made sure that no one was present.

"The court is now surging undercurrents, Emperor Jianwen has not been found until now, the emperor is anxious, and his suspicion is getting worse and worse, and his eyes seem to see which minister is like an accomplice who harbors Emperor Jianwen, and as the three princes gradually grow up, the battle for the heir to the throne will also begin. Dao Yan took a deep breath and said.

"The three princes are talented and intelligent, and they have their own merits, which is really a blessing of the Ming Dynasty. Zheng He said respectfully.

"Hahaha, it is precisely because each has its own merits that it is the curse, do you think that if there are stupid and smart, filial piety and unfilial piety, and there are few virtues and virtues, won't it be easy to decide the successor? Now these three are very smart, which one do you let the emperor choose? The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, this is the biggest problem in the emperor's heart. Dao Yan said.

Zheng He leaned in front of him and whispered: "Since ancient times, His Royal Highness Zhu Gaochi has a gentle temperament, and he has to be free and easy in his gestures, and he has the demeanor of an emperor, if he can become the future lord of the Ming Dynasty, it is really a good thing." ”

"It is precisely because of your words that you will harm him and yourself. Dao Yan sighed, then took a sip of his teacup and paced back and forth.

Zheng He has been following Monk Daoyan since he was captured by the Blue Jade army and came to the Central Plains, and he is very familiar with his master's every move.

"Master, please. Zheng He lowered his head.

"Mu Xiu is in the forest, the wind will destroy it, the battle for the throne is not to see if you are ahead for a while, but to see who can have the last laugh, now a person with high merit like you, and many old ministers in the government and the opposition all respect Zhu Gaochi, which is tantamount to putting him in a dangerous situation in front of everyone's eyes, those who are hiding in the dark will be more intensely planning their conspiracy, in this way, will His Highness have a good life?" Dao Yan put down the teacup and said slowly.

Zheng He suddenly came to his senses, lowered his head a little lower, and said, "If it weren't for Master's reminder, Zheng He would never have thought of this reason. ”

Dao Yan nodded and said, "Although the assassination of the poor monk this time was not at the scene, I was quite puzzled when I heard you tell me. ”

Zheng He was even more surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Master, what do you mean......?"

"But when an assassin assassinates, it is nothing more than to choose three opportunities, one is when there is no one in the wilderness, the other is chaotic and disorderly, and the third is when the moon is dark and the wind is high, but the emperor summoned you Ye Cheng when Shen, but one of the three does not match one of the three, can you have the courage to come to the palace to assassinate the emperor's assassin, will you be so scheming?" asked Dao Yan.

After Daoyan's reminder, Zheng He carefully recalled and indeed found some incomprehension, but if there were any flaws, he couldn't imagine it for a while, so he couldn't help muttering: "According to what Master said, didn't these assassins come to die in vain?"

Dao Yan didn't answer immediately, but sighed deeply and said, "I'm afraid, I'm afraid, they're here to die for nothing......"

Zheng He felt a chill on his spine, which went straight to his neck, and his body seemed to enter the frozen river all of a sudden: "Master, you mean ......?"

Dao Yan smiled bitterly: "I didn't say anything for the teacher, but I heard you say that two of these people ran away and one died on the spot, and they were dressed as people in the rivers and lakes." Therefore, I would like to ask you, if you are planning to assassinate, will you wear the official uniform of your imperial history commander inside?"

Zheng He suddenly realized at this moment, hurriedly walked two steps, looked left and right, and asked in a low voice: "Master, in your opinion, this assassination was carefully arranged and framed? Who will be the mastermind?"

Dao Yan patted Zheng He on the shoulder, and then said: "Before you came back, there had never been any people in the palace, as for who the mastermind was, it depended on who was most beneficial to the assassin's death." ”

"Are they trying to frame me!" After hearing Master's words, Zheng He really couldn't believe it

Dao Yanfu smiled: "Framed you? You are not qualified enough." ”

"I'm your apprentice, so I'm going to frame you, Master?" Zheng He became even more worried.

Dao Yan shook his head again, sighed and said: "The person who planned the whole incident is by no means as simple as you imagined, and the teacher is also guessing in his heart now, and he can't say anything to you." It's just that the teacher wants you to remember that the Buddha has clouds, if the Bodhisattva has the appearance of me, the appearance of people, the appearance of sentient beings, and the appearance of the long-lived, that is, the non-Bodhisattva. What you see is not necessarily the truth. ”

"How can that disciple see the truth?" Zheng He asked.

"All appearances are false, and if you see things that are not appearances, you will see them as they are. When you can reach such a state, you will be able to see the truth, but this kind of seeing is not with the eyes, but with the heart. Dao Yan said, pointing to Zheng Hexin's position with his finger.

"Master, I originally wanted to make meritorious service to the Ming Dynasty, to make the emperor happy, to make your face shine, but I never thought that it would be like this, in fact, I saw it as early as the celebration banquet, many people don't want Zheng He to make this meritorious service, let alone want you to be happy, Master. Zheng He said with some grief and indignation.

Dao Yan patted Zheng He's shoulder again, and Fu Yi said with a smile: "Bodhi has no tree, the mirror is not a platform, there is nothing, why stain the dust? You don't have to worry about being a teacher, but being a teacher has to give you a certain way out." ”

"Master, please!" Zheng He fell to his knees with a thud.

"Don't you hear about the Spring and Autumn Period, the prince of the Jin Kingdom, Shen Sheng, Chong'er? Shen Sheng died inside, and Chong'er was born outside. Monk Daoyan said slowly.

"Division...... Master, do you mean to let me go?" Zheng He raised his head and looked at Dao Yan, tears already welling up in the corners of his eyes.

"There are many kinds of walking, disarming and returning to the field is walking, distraction is walking, and separation without separation is also walking. You Zheng He has the ability to take revenge, if you can't serve the court and the country, won't you be empty for a lifetime?" said Dao Yan earnestly.

"That's exactly what the apprentice thinks, the apprentice is definitely not a person who covets any glory and wealth, but if he can't show this ambition, he will be ashamed of the emperor's grace and his teacher, Zheng He will feel uncomfortable!" Zheng He said sadly.

Dao Yan closed his eyes and was silent for a long time, then lowered his head and helped Zheng He up: "There is a strategy for the teacher, so that you can still apply what you have learned in your life without being harmed." ”

Zheng He was very excited when he heard this, he had followed Dao Yan for many years, and there was no one in this world who could make him so admired and convinced, he had already regarded Dao Yan as his father, and he also believed in Dao Yan's words.

"Master, please give the apprentice some guidance. Zheng He pleaded.

Dao Yan nodded: "For today's plan, why don't you take advantage of the situation to make a statement, saying that although you have recovered Sanfo Island this time, you will find that many islands are still lonely overseas, and you will not accept the king, please order the emperor to send you to sea again, first, to recover the barbarians, and secondly, to declare the emperor's authority, of course, the important point is to help the emperor continue to secretly track down the whereabouts of Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen." ”

Zheng Hemao suddenly opened his head and kowtowed in gratitude. Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"What's the matter?" asked Daoyan.

"Your Excellency, there is a guest who wants to see you. It was the voice of the housekeeper Zhou Quan.

"Tell the visitor that Dao Yan will not see a guest today. ”

"This ...... I'm afraid that adults will still have to meet this person. Zhou Quan did not leave.

"Who is it?" Dao Yan asked when he saw Zhou Quan like this.

"Mrs. Ning Guo. Zhou Quan replied.
