Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Return
Looking at Zhu Di with a sword in his hand in front of him, Monk Daoyan still had an indifferent expression on his face, he was silent, waiting for Zhu Di to speak. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhu Di picked up the sword, and his cold face was reflected on the sharp and smooth sword surface: "Do you see how many swords used to hang on my wall?"
"Sunny day, green shirt and moonlight. Monk Daoyan replied.
"Not badly, it's three. When they were hung on the wall, I rarely went to see them, and now that I am an emperor, I rarely use them. But when I gave the Yuehua Sword to your apprentice Zheng He that day, I always felt that something was missing when I woke up and walked through the side of this wall every day, because there was one missing in the place where the three swords were originally hung. Zhu Di said slowly.
Monk Daoyan listened quietly like this, without saying a word.
Zhu Di picked up the Sunny Sun Sword and looked at it carefully, and then paced: "Guangxiao, can you understand this feeling? Isn't the right just like this hanging sword, if you are there every day, you will not be aware of his existence at all, but if you face loss one day, it will make you particularly uneasy, although it may only be a little lost, but it can still make you feel uneasy." ”
Yao Guangxiao, the black-clothed prime minister, looked at Zhu Di, and he could already understand what the man in front of him was thinking at this moment.
"Therefore I must find my nephew, whether he is dead or alive, whether he is capable of rebelling against me or not, and only then can I sleep and eat well, like this lent sword, and my heart will be at peace when he is hung back again. Zhu Di said at this time, and slowly walked to the wall again, and hung the Sunny Sword back to its original position.
"Monk understood...... "Monk Daoyan bowed and saluted.
Zhu Di showed a smile on his face, turned to Monk Daoyan and said, "I heard that you took good care of your disciple, but you didn't teach him martial arts, but only taught him some Wen Tao martial arts. ”
Monk Daoyan nodded.
"Actually, this is very good, what is needed to fight the world is force, but what is needed to govern the world is brains, I now find that there is a lack of people with brains around me, you and Zheng He have been following me for many years, without you, I Zhu Di would not stand on top of this treasure hall of Yingtianfu." Zhu Di said.
"Cheng Zu is a martial artist, when the heroes of the world are unsurpassed, but also auspicious people, the emperor is the son of heaven, is the choice of God, not our ability. Although Monk Daoyan's words seemed to be a compliment, from his cold expression and tone, it seemed that there was no compliment.
Zhu Di smiled and said: "Guangxiao, I know that since I became the emperor, you always have a knot in your heart, especially after I killed Tie Xuan, Fang Xiaoru and others, you must have a deep prejudice against me." ”
Monk Daoyan was silent.
"I don't blame you for thinking so, because you didn't sit on the throne I sat on, and what you saw was completely different from what I saw, I would kill people like those tyrants in ancient times, and I also killed many people, but I was different from them in that tyrant was just chasing that bloodthirsty pleasure in killing, and I killed people completely to consolidate the cornerstone of the Ming Dynasty, so that the blood of everyone in the Battle of Jingjing would not be shed in vain. Zhu Di said in a calm tone.
In fact, the monk Daoyan has followed Zhu Di since he was young, and no one in the world can know Zhu Di better than him, which is why he still follows Zhu Di after killing so many people.
"Get ready, after a while, Ying Tianfu will no longer be the center of the Ming Dynasty, and we will leave here. Zhu Di patted Monk Daoyan on the shoulder.
Monk Daoyan was puzzled for the first time, and couldn't help asking, "Leave here, Your Majesty, you want to move the capital?"
Zhu Di smiled: "Exactly." ”
"Yingtianfu Zhongfu Longpan, the stone tiger is located, the north is close to the Shogunate Mountain, Oolong, the northeast has Zhongqing Dragon Mountain as a barrier, the south has the rock mountain, Niushou Mountain, the southeast has the Purple Mountain, the west is adjacent to the Yangtze River moat, the tiger is in the dragon plate, it is not a place to fall, the original Taizu Emperor chose the site here must have a far-reaching reason, how can he change the capital and move in one day?"
Zhu Di only smiled and said: "Everything in the world is changing, I thought it was good to be a Yan King at the beginning, but now I am still an emperor? Although Ying Tianfu is good, but now the situation is different, the south is stable, the north is in turmoil, the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty colluded with Mongolia to repeatedly violate the border, it is really my Ming elbow and armpit trouble, if I can't get rid of it, how can I live in peace in this Ying Tianfu? Moreover, the capital was originally the companion capital chosen by Emperor Taizu, and at this moment, when the north is in trouble, moving the capital to this can resist the enemy and calm the people inside, which is to kill two birds with one stone. ”
Monk Daoyan knew that Zhu Di said this at the moment, indicating that he had been planning for many days, and he was not telling himself at this moment that he wanted to listen to opinions, but just an emperor notifying a minister, so Monk Daoyan didn't say anything, just nodded and said: "The saint has made up his mind, and the monk will definitely do his best to assist, but moving the capital is a big matter, everything needs to be considered in the long run, don't be hasty." ”
Zhu Di smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have already handed over all the power to Chen Ying to handle it." ”
"Chen Ying?" Monk Daoyan thought silently, and couldn't help but sink his heart. Although Zhu Di, who has now become the emperor, is surrounded by many villains who are attached to the camp, in the eyes of Monk Daoyan, they are just clowns who jump off the beam, they are some flies and ants, and they can be driven away with a wave of their long sleeves, but Yuan Hui and Chen Ying are really cunning and treacherous, ambitious, etc., Monk Daoyan is inevitably worried every time he thinks about the two, but now the status of the two in the DPRK is thriving, and there is a momentum of one person and ten thousand people. Now that such a major matter as moving the capital is handed over to Chen Ying to do, it means that the emperor has already discussed it with him, but he has just learned that the relatives are estranged and close to the high and the high and the high are judged, and the Daoyan monk is not worried about his own honor and disgrace status, he is worried that the moths of the empire have eaten this towering tree that has finally grown.
After bidding farewell to Zhu Di, Monk Daoyan walked out of the temple gate, stood on the broad stone base and took a deep breath, at this time it was already sunset, Monk Daoyan looked into the distance, and couldn't help but secretly say to himself: "Zheng He, Zheng He, where are you now......?"
At this moment, Zheng He has set sail and returned triumphantly in the wind and waves, Ye Cheng and Zhong Qing are standing next to him, and the gusts of sea breeze are blowing, which makes Zheng He feel good, and he said loudly: "Ye Shaoxia, when Zheng Mou goes back, he will definitely fulfill his promise, and we will join hands to face you and present good news together!"
The sound of the huge waves almost drowned out Zheng He's words, Ye Cheng looked at Zheng He from the side, and smiled, Zheng He would not understand what Ye Cheng wanted until now, and Ye Cheng's heart had already flown back to Ying Tianfu. He is really going to see Zhu Di soon, and at that moment, his choice will no longer affect himself, but the fate of the entire Ming Dynasty. (End of Volume 1)
