"No," Xinci shook her head and said gloomily, "The master may have been blown to ashes......

"Hmm," Zhu Di said suspiciously: "It is said that it is impossible for people to survive such an explosion." But he is Yao Guangxiao! In him, what is impossible? ”

"We hope so," Xinyan sighed, "But the master is so old, how can he stand such an explosion?" ”

"Keep looking......" Zhu Di actually didn't have much hope, otherwise he wouldn't have come to give Yao Guangxiao a hundred days of grave, but after all, he hadn't seen the corpse for a day, and his old friend still had a glimmer of hope to live!

"Yes." The monks responded and continued their search.

Zhu Di was hanging his old friend in front of the night sky, when he suddenly heard footsteps behind him, and he didn't need to look back to know who was coming.

"What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, Zhu Yunwen has been sent to Beijing." The old eunuch Zhao Ying brought news of another monk to Zhu Di.

"Zhu Yunwen!" This news made Zhu Di suddenly break free from one emotion and enter another emotion, and the old and helpless eyes suddenly became extremely cold. "Go back to the palace!"

Zhu Di's life is a life of fighting, a life of magnificent waves, and a life of constantly chasing goals. From the age of thirty-one, the army rebelled, and finally seized the throne, completed the Yongle Grand Ceremony, sent Zheng He to the West, sent Zhang Fu to pacify Annan, and personally conquered the Tatar Warat, and also built the magnificent Beijing City!

Any of these things would be difficult to do if someone else changed them, but he completed them all in just over ten years, and it is really rare for an emperor to do this in the ages.

But such a majestic emperor also has his own sorrows and uneasiness. Ten years ago, he was saddened by the death of his beloved queen, and he was saddened by the fact that he came to pay homage to his only friend tonight. And his biggest uneasiness is Zhu Yunwen, who has been missing for 14 years......

Fourteen years ago, he led a large army into the capital, but he was greeted by the raging fire of the Forbidden City, and the body of Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen was not found in the fire! Later, although it was announced to the world that Zhu Yunwen had set himself on fire, Zhu Di did not relax his search for his nephew for a moment...... In the past 14 years, he sent Zheng and Hu Hao to find Jianwen's footprints from the water and land, close to him again and again, and returned again and again in vain, so that Zhu Di's strong nerves were devastated, so that the three words Zhu Yunwen even became a lingering nightmare in the heart of Emperor Yongle for a long time.

But today, all the toss has come to an end, and this nightmare is finally time to wake up.

On the way back, Zhu Di's heart was full of excitement, anticipation and fear...... Yes, fear, he found that he didn't know how to face this nephew, was he domineering, approachable, or listening to him move out of Taizu and accuse him of his righteous words?

Although he is already the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, although he has made great achievements and has no predecessors, in this capital established by his father, Zhu Di will never be able to be arrogant, he will always feel that his father's ghost hovers over Jinling, with a contemptuous eye, looking at himself as a rebel......

"Today, everything has to be stopped!" When the sedan chair stopped, Zhu Di finally settled down, and when he stepped out of the sedan chair, the hesitation and fear on his face disappeared......

Instead, it was the Yongle Emperor who held the world in his hands and dominated the world!

In the Qianqing Palace, the torches shone in the sky, the guards were three times as many as usual, and the eunuchs and guards were like facing a great enemy, guarding the palace with full attention, because Emperor Jianwen was imprisoned inside.

Zhao Ying walked up to Zhu Di and said softly: "Your Majesty, do you want to see him now." After a pause, he said, "Or it's okay to be later." ”

"See you now." After speaking, Zhu Di strode into the palace. Whether it's Taizu or Jianwen, it's all a passing thing, and now the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is himself, and I'm fearless!

Layers of guards got out of the way and led the emperor to a side hall of the Qianqing Palace, where a middle-aged monk with a serene expression and a clear face sat there.

Zhu Di stared at the monk tightly, although he hadn't seen him for eighteen years, he still immediately matched the stinky Emperor Jianwen in his memory. But after all, I haven't seen each other for eighteen years, and I haven't seen each other a few times before, Zhu Di is not sure, this person must be Jianwen.

"The old slave has already been identified by the eunuch and palace maid who served him back then," Seeing the emperor's puzzled expression, Zhao Ying whispered in Zhu Di's ear: "And according to Ji Gang's confession, Jianwen has a black mole under his armpit, and Princess Yiwen recognized him with that mole." After a pause, he whispered: "I have already checked it, and there is indeed a mole under the armpit." ”

"Hmm." Zhu Di nodded, he still trusted Zhao Ying's ability, looking at this side hall, Zhu Di said slowly: "Do you remember this room?" ”

"Remember," the monk's gentle voice sounded, "Grandpa Bintian, I met you here." Said with a smile: "If I remember correctly, this hall should have burned down, and it is difficult for the imperial uncle to restore it." ”

"As the Son of Heaven, I can't worry about it." Zhu Di has basically believed that this person is Zhu Yunwen. The feeling of sitting there, like a master, is not something that any imposter can pretend.

This is the sleeping palace of the Ming Emperor - Qianqing Palace!

"Yes, you're the emperor." The monk smiled softly: "And he is a very successful emperor." ”

"Really?" The corners of Zhu Di's mouth couldn't help but rise slightly. After all, there are not many people in the world who are qualified to evaluate him, and this one in front of him is just one of them. "Being praised by his defeated generals is also a great joy in life."

"Yes, I failed," the monk was completely unangry, and still sat there with a smile, "Now it's just a monk with six pure roots, and if you ask me to kneel, I won't hesitate." ”

"Excuse me." Zhu Di's mood became extremely relaxed, and the conversation now was much more pleasant than he imagined when he came.

Li Yan moved a chair for Zhu Di and asked the emperor and the monk to sit opposite each other......

The dim lights in the middle hall are just right for this kind of conversation of reminiscing about the past.

"How did you get out in the first place?" Zhu Di finally asked the question that had been buried in his heart for more than ten years.

"Back then," the monk's gaze gradually deepened, and he took the emperor back to that hot summer fourteen years ago. "You led the army across the Yangtze River, and the soldiers came to the city, and the capital was in chaos, and Uncle Gu Wang and Li Jinglong, who had always been relied on by me as their right-hand men, actually opened the Jinchuan Gate without authorization and let your army enter the city."

With his words, Zhu Di also returned to the most unforgettable time, only he knows how lucky he is in this world, so he has always believed that he is the destiny of heaven! "This is because the destiny of heaven is not in you."

The monk smiled, didn't argue with him, and continued: "At that time, everyone around me knew that the general trend had gone, and the queen also committed suicide and martyrdom. Originally, I was also discouraged and wanted to go with her......"

Zhu Di stopped talking, and listened carefully to the monk's narration of the secret: "But Chang Mao, Huai En, and a few of them saved me. I cried and said, Is it still wrong for the king to die? They persuaded me, saying, "There is still something to be done in the world, and the country is in trouble, and the monarch can die, and this is also the case of the past dynasties." ”

Zhu Di nodded, at this moment he was already convinced of the other party's identity.

"But the whole world is so big, where can I live? At that time, your army had already entered the inner city, and there were many troops inside and outside the capital, and I felt that even if I wanted to escape, it would be difficult to escape. ”

Zhu Di nodded again, this is what he doesn't understand, obviously the capital has been surrounded by water, how did Zhu Yunwen escape?

"At this time, the main monk Pu Qia left by the emperor's grandfather to me came, and he told me that Taizu Bintian had left a relic in him, and instructed him that if the emperor was in great trouble, he could open it, and there was a way to save the emergency." The monk slowly recalled: "When everyone heard that it was Taizu's arrangement, they were very excited, and hurriedly asked Pu Qia to bring the relics. It was a very tall mahogany chest, which was very strong in itself, and it was covered with a thick iron sheet, and the box was locked with a large iron lock, but there was no key. ”

"Where's the key?" Zhu Di was already completely immersed in the monk's narration.

"No one knows, and even if you have a key, it's useless because the keyhole is filled with copper." The monk said slowly: "It's still Cousin Changmao who used a hammer to smash the lock directly, and then it was opened." ”

"What's in there?" Zhu Di asked.

"There were more than a dozen sets of monks' robes, hats, and shoes, neatly stacked inside," the monk recalled, "and there was also a stack of degrees with Dharma names such as 'Yingwen', 'Yingneng', and 'Yingxian' written on them. At the bottom is a piece of yellow paper, on which is the imperial pen of the emperor's grandfather......" Speaking of this, the monk's eyes moistened, and he choked up: "What is written is, 'Ying Wen will go out of the ghost gate, and Yu will go from the water gate and the imperial ditch, and the twilight will be in the west room where God is optimistic. ’”

"I see!" When the monk said this, Zhu Di had already fully understood, it turned out that his nephew relied on the method left by Emperor Taizu, shaved his hair and became a monk, and went out of the city separately from his subordinates. Moreover, the route arranged by Emperor Taizu - from the ghost gate to the optimism of God was the least noticeable, and it was also the most lax place for his defense at that time.

At that time, disguised as a monk was undoubtedly the best choice - because Yao Guangxiao's reputation was in full swing, and a cadre of warrior monks under his command led troops to fight in the army, and they conquered everything. This made the soldiers of the Yan Wang Army have a natural awe of the monk, and they were very polite when they saw the bald head, which made Zhu Yunwen's escape very smooth.

"I didn't expect that my father could calculate what was behind him," Zhu Di couldn't help but sigh, and said angrily: "Then why don't you just pass the throne to me?!" Actually, he also knew that this was just the back hand of his father, who had always liked to arrange everything for his descendants, and Zhu Yunwen had arranged for Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yuanzhang was not a god, and the battle of Jingjing would happen in four years.
