Chapter 230: Zen Meditation
In the side hall of Shuiyue Temple, in the face of Xu Hao's greeting with a smile that suddenly appeared, Comrade Lao Zhu was not surprised at all, and snorted softly without smiling.
Because he was in the temple, this reminded Xu Hao of Zhu Yuanzhang, who was demonized in later generations, and remembered that the book said that anyone who dared to mention words such as monks and beggars would be beheaded, so that everyone in the Hongwu Dynasty was in danger, but in fact, those officials who were killed were all executed for improper governance, causing losses to the country or arousing public resentment.
When Zhu Yuanzhang reviewed the recital, he would be furious when he saw the nonsense, and as a result, some people with ulterior motives in later generations slandered him based on this, and he didn't want to think about what kind of person Zhu Yuanzhang was? How could a generation of founding monarchs be so narrow-minded? It's just that too many officials have been killed, and there is such a report.
Xu Hao thought that the person who came with him was a minister in the court, but when he looked at Comrade Zhu's side, he was stunned for a moment, and said respectfully: "My nephew is visiting my uncle." The man who pretended to be an old man turned his head and smiled, it turned out to be Zhu Di, the king of Yan.
Zhu Yuanzhang subconsciously frowned and said, "Why are you so dead-eyed? Could it be that Yun Wei will not be able to tolerate you, so he will have to take refuge in the fourth child in the future? β
Xu Hao quickly glanced at Zhu Di, whose eyes were not very natural, and said with a smile: "I have no ambitions since I was a child, so I want to shelter under the wings of my aunt and uncle in the future and live a peaceful life." Besides, I don't have anywhere else to go except my uncle. β
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said: "The old man knows that you don't like to be an official and hate cumbersome, but you always have something to do. β
Xu Hao said calmly: "As the old saying goes, don't forget to dig wells, if the boy doesn't have his uncle's support, he won't have today's encounter, and he must know how to report Entu." β
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Then you will stay in the capital to support Yunwen, and the old man will not force you to marry Fuqing, how about fulfilling you Yu Ningxue?" Not only that, you can choose one of Jinyiwei and the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army, and in the future, you will assist the government as one of Yun Wei's ministers. β
Zhu Di was taken aback. I never thought that my father would value Xu Hao so much? Secretly said that your kid is really lucky, so haode things have happened to you, hurry up and thank you!
Who knew that Xu Hao said without thinking: "The kid still wants to go to Beiping to be a rich man, and the high-ranking official Houlu is like a floating cloud to me." β
Zhu Di had mixed feelings in his heart, and looked deeply at the unwavering young man who faced the power and wealth, and was greatly moved for a while.
Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Xu Hao with blazing eyes, and said in a deep voice: "You refuse the old man's kindness without even thinking about it, do you know the weight of those previous words?" β
Zhu Di's heart has mentioned his throat, it is the first time in these years that he has seen someone who dares to refuse his father, for fear that his father will be angry and embarrassed. ordered Xu Hao's head to be cut off, and at the same time determined to save his life no matter what, Xu Hao can treat me with sincerity, then I must double the reward.
But seeing that Xu Hao's eyes were clear, he chuckled: "It's hard to come out to relax, why do you always make fun of the kid?" β
"Humph!" Zhu Yuanzhang snorted heavily, and then said with a smile: "That's it, since you don't know how to lift, then continue to follow the fourth child." The old man knows that you are worried about not getting along with Yun Wei's temperament. It's the old four who are most like me, alas! It's rare for the two of us to get along, and I have received your love. β
Zhu Di only felt that the sky was full of lightning and thunder, and he was shocked beyond measure. screamed in his heart, the affection between Xu Hao and his father is so deep? How can it be?
Xu Hao was also stunned at first, and subconsciously lowered his head, he didn't expect to be misunderstood by Comrade Lao Zhu at all. I don't know what to say? Do you want to pretend to be a licking calf with deep affection? Holding the emperor's thighs and shedding tears that you are reluctant to drive to the west?
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't pay attention to the reaction of his son and Xu Hao, and was already immersed in the thoughts that had not been left for many days, and no one would know better than himself that his health was getting worse and worse. It is precisely because of this that the generation of male masters who were decisive and shrewd and wise in the past did not recognize their relatives would rarely put their reason aside, revealing a trace of humanity as an elder.
The emperor would naturally never have guessed that Xu Hao Weishenme had to take refuge in Zhu Di? He would not have thought that the fourth son's future achievements would be comparable to his father's. The previous words were just casual remarks, and the latter words were just taken for granted, just because Xu Hao personally rejected the temptation he offered, and he sighed for a while.
If Xu Hao agrees in front of King Yan, then Zhu Yuanzhang will regard Xu Hao as a villain from now on, not to mention the unwarranted minister, nine times out of ten he will be buried with Xu Hao before he dies.
The problem is that at this time, the three of them have their own thoughts, and no one will deliberately explain it clearly, and this misunderstanding will always have to be misunderstood.
Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately tried it, Xu Hao was prescient, and he had already made up his mind to go to the dark, so when would he not show his loyalty at this time? Anyway, Comrade Lao Zhu didn't know what was going on after his death.
Sure enough, this opportunistic trick moved Zhu Di to a mess, thinking that now he is just a vassal king, Xu Hao can not hesitate to give up the future emperor and follow him with all his heart, especially in front of his father, can he not be excited?
Not to mention that Zhu Yuanzhang's father and son were silently thinking about their hearts, Xu Hao didn't have any thoughts, he would never be naΓ―ve to believe Comrade Zhu's words as true, if anyone thinks that he has a friendship with the emperor, then he is the No. 1 fool in Tianzi.
Xu Hao, who was idle, reached out to hold Zhiqing's little hand to play, and found that the palm was full of sweat, and when he looked at Zhiqing, he saw that the little girl had been completely petrified.
At this moment, Yuguan walked in and sixteen female monks sat around the Dharma platform, all dressed in white clothes, monk shoes and hats, and were in charge of the Pan and the Buddha.
Zhu Yuanzhang came back to his senses and asked casually, "By the way, why did you lead Yun Wei to Shuiyue Temple?" β
Xu Hao knew that the emperor knew his whereabouts well, so he made a long story short: "I just want to vent my anger for my second sister-in-law, but who knew that I actually recruited all the immortals." β
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment and then was relieved, Xu Hao secretly inquired about why the Water Moon Temple was very clear, and Xu Ji's rhetoric He also knew that this Water Moon Temple was so famous that they all rushed together, but Xu Hao chose Yun Wei to do it when he came here, there was undoubtedly a big mystery in it.
Probably in order to pull the big banner and pull the tiger skin, and use Yun Wei's identity to redo those scoundrels, it is really a big fuss, and Zhu Yuanzhang said disapprovingly: "Since your personal vendetta has been avenged, then sit with the old man for a while." β
At this moment, six more little nuns holding yellow silk flags came in and walked up to the Dharma platform and stood up. A female elder in her sixties walked in, with a yellow face and long eyebrows, a string of diamond beads hanging on her chest, wearing a big red robe, and holding a nine-ring tin staff.
Xu Hao watched the elder slowly walk to the middle of the Dharma platform, raised his hand slightly to the Guanyin Buddha statue, and then turned around and sat cross-legged on the lotus throne.
Xu Hao secretly cursed the demon in his heart, and he didn't listen to what the elders were saying, and looked around at the decorations in the hall and the good men and women.
And Zhu Yuanzhang was a monk for several years when he was young, and listened to the elders talk about Zen with relish. Zhu Di was deeply influenced by the Taoist monk and had always respected Buddhism, so he listened attentively. After Xu Hao saw this scene, a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Listening and listening, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression gradually became solemn, and it turned out that the elder talked about the color, and said softly: "You two are so good to listen, you should be vigilant in the future." β
Zhu Di immediately nodded and said, "Yes." β
Xu Hao was about to speak, when he heard someone say aloud: "There are many nonsense." blindly preaches the affairs of husband and wife, does not persuade people to live in harmony with husband and wife, but says that husband and wife are birds in the same forest, and they fly separately when they come; Children's affection. It's like burning a tile kiln, and a water and Cheng go anywhere, so that everyone in the world can have fun in time? It's ridiculous. β
Xu Hao turned his head in surprise and looked over, and the person was actually Zhu Yunwen, the emperor's grandson. accompanied Xu Wen and Xu Ji by his side, but Fang Xiaoru was standing outside the hall, and it was inconvenient to come in because of his identity as a Confucian disciple.
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression remained unchanged. watched with interest as his grandson yelled at the elders, and Zhu Di also squinted at his nephew's every move.
The female elder said slowly, "Since the donor is coming to participate in meditation, you must first pass the level of walking, living, sitting and lying down. β
Zhu Yunwen said proudly: "Yes, I asked." β
The elder held the beads in his hand and asked, "May I ask what the donor is doing?" β
Zhu Yunwen thought for a moment and replied: "If you don't walk with others, you will be born with two legs." In order to see the thousand peaks and Tucui, step over the ancient crossing of the moonlight. β
Zhu Yuanzhang was very relieved and nodded again and again, and said with a smile on his long hand: "Well said." Zhu Di replied helplessly with a complicated expression: "Not bad." β
Unmoved, the elder asked, "How do you live?" β
Zhu Yunwen put his hands behind his back and said unhurriedly: "If you don't live with others, the thatched hut and green mountains will go by yourself; The old crane in front of the court chanted, and countless flowers fell outside the door. β
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression became more and more comfortable, and he was greatly satisfied with his grandson's performance. Zhu Di looked calm, and Xu Hao noticed that Yan Wang's clenched fists were exposed.
Next, Zhu Yunwen answered the question fluently, and sat and lay on the right side, which attracted all the believers to consciously open their eyes, and Comrade Zhu was even happier when he saw this.
The elder suddenly asked, "How is it a person in the sex?" β
Zhu Yunwen was stunned for a moment, frowned and thought hard, thinking that his life as a prince was walking on thin ice, either working hard or taking care of the government, just like his father Prince Zhu Biao, he had very little time to rest.
And before he ascended the throne as the emperor, there would never be more than three or five concubines, and in his identity, he had never talked about love, and he was not very old, even if he was full of knowledge, it was difficult to answer such tricky questions that saw through the vicissitudes of life.
Behind him, Xu Wen and Xu Ji hummed the second general, even if they wanted to help the crown prince, but the brothers themselves were addicted to women, how could they solve it?
At this time, Zhu Di couldn't bear it anymore, and said confidently: "My mother-in-law and Xi Shi are all together, and the poor old and young are separated by a thousand springs; Today, the crane has goosebumps, and the jade face is beautiful back then. β
Zhu Yunwen frowned and sighed softly, feeling that his knowledge was not as good as the other party, he turned around and went out without saying a word, and Xu Wen and his brothers hurriedly followed.
"This kid." Zhu Yuanzhang sank his face, and secretly said that Yun Wei was young and unstable in the end, and left as soon as he was frustrated, not to mention that he had lost his demeanor, and he didn't even ask who the other party was, which was too rude.
The elder glanced at the three men and one woman here, and continued to ask, "How is it a human color?" β
Unexpectedly, Zhu Di smiled and didn't answer, it was enough to be able to overpower his nephew in front of his father, and if he continued to answer, I am afraid that he would leave an unpleasant impression on his father.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "It's okay to continue. β
Zhu Di deliberately smiled bitterly: "My son has been busy with business all these years, concentrating on leading the troops, and if he answers, he will be ugly." β
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "Well, like the old man, where there is leisure to study Buddhism, Yun Wei is the same." β
Xu Hao said suddenly: "Why don't you answer her?" If you win the jackpot, you will give me the snow prize? β
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said vaguely: "Then you can try it." β
Xu Hao perked up and said loudly: "Flowers bloom and fall with two joys and sorrows, flowers and people are the same; Open on the branch to prevent customers from breaking, who will see when it falls underground? β
Zhu Yuanzhang praised: "Well said. And Zhiqing was dumbfounded, watching the man she was tied to unblinking.
The elder was shocked in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "How can you be in the mirror?" β
Xu Hao groaned for a moment and said: "The sea is dry to the end, and the green mountains are waiting to be crushed into dust." β
"How is the Man in the Mirror?"
"The green bamboo and yellow flowers are not the outside world, and the white clouds and bright moon dew the whole body." After Xu Hao finished speaking, he winked at Zhiqing, making Zhiqing's face red. (To be continued......)
