The next day, Fengtian Palace, after the morning court.
The ministers filed out, Zhu Di looked gloomy, and next to him was Jin Wang Zhu Fan.
Zhu Di didn't expect that his father would do this to him, completely breaking his plan.
Of course Zhu Di knew the details of his third brother Zhu Fan. When it came to leading troops in war, he was only about a 50-50 split.
In fact, Zhu Fan had a violent temper and was more steady than himself when leading troops.
"Fourth brother, this time the coast is peaceful, it seems that we two brothers will work together again."
How could Zhu Fan give up this opportunity? Seeing that Zhu Di was about to walk away, he quickly caught up and said with a smile.
Today's morning meeting indeed gave him a big surprise.
He had never thought about the coastal Pingwa coach, mainly because the vassal territory was in Taiyuan, Shanxi, which was too far away.
Then today, my father suddenly announced that he and King Yan would be jointly responsible for the peace of Japan along the coast, and that the army would be divided into two groups and controlled by the two of them respectively.
What is the difference between this kind of march and Hongwu's twenty-three years?
Zhu Di was already a little bored, but when he heard his third brother Zhu Fan coming to ridicule him, he became very angry.
It's just that there are so many people outside Fengtian Palace, Zhu Di can only hold it in.
"I think this time I have to rely on third brother." Zhu Di said lightly and prepared to leave.
"Fourth brother, don't leave in a hurry. We brothers have to plan carefully." Zhu Fan said jokingly.
"Third brother, don't go too far." Zhu Di's voice was a little cold.
Obviously, Zhu Fan's repeated actions made him angry.
Zhu Di can also be considered a warrior, and warriors tend to have a more violent personality.
"Hey, what's the matter? Is the fourth brother angry? I didn't say anything, brother. It's because the fourth brother doesn't want to go to the coast to fight against the Japanese. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Why don't your brother help you talk to your father about this Pingbo incident? I won't bother my fourth brother and go over there."
Seeing that Zhu Di was deflated, Zhu Fan became much more energetic.
He had been looking forward to this day for a long time.
I just feel like I feel proud today.
Hearing this, Zhu Di, who had been moving forward, stopped. He was really afraid that Jin Wang Zhu Fan would go to his father to cause trouble.
So he forced a smile and said: "What are you talking about, third brother? Just like what my father said, the southeast coast is so wide that even one person cannot defend it. We need two brothers to work together to cut through the metal."
"Hahaha."
Zhu Fan laughed three times without giving any face. The way he looked at Zhu Di was like watching a monkey playing.
After laughing, he ignored Zhu Di and walked away.
Such laughter attracted the attention of the ministers, leaving Zhu Di standing there feeling embarrassed.
Zhu Di stared fiercely at Zhu Fan's leaving back, gritting his teeth and boiling with anger.
Hearing what seemed to be ministers talking around him, he glanced over coldly.
Suddenly the ministers fell silent, bowed their heads and left quickly.
Anyone with any brains would know that such royal matters should not be tainted.
Zhu Di also killed people, especially officials.
The reason why he did not lose the reputation of cruelty is because the officials Zhu Di killed had sufficient evidence to prove their corruption and bribery.
After all, His Majesty has decreed that corruption is no longer subject to silver restrictions and can be directly punished by death.
For this reason, the literati could not use this matter to attack Zhu Di. They could only say that it was a good idea to kill him.
However, this is not yet over.
Zhu Di returned to his mansion and was about to discuss countermeasures with Yao Guangxiao.
I saw that the yard seemed a little messy.
"It's unbecoming to be in a panic." Zhu Di scolded, and many servants did not dare to move.
Zhu Gaochi heard this and came over.
Seeing the eldest son, Zhu Di also noticed that something seemed wrong in the mansion, and asked directly: "Tell me, what happened in the mansion."
When Zhu Gaochi saw his father, he hurriedly came over and said, "Father, not long ago, Jinyiwei brought the emperor's decree and summoned Master Daoyan to enter the Tianjie Temple immediately to take charge of the Sutra Pavilion."
"Master Daoyan didn't even have time to pack his luggage, and was taken away directly by Jin Yiwei. I think he has probably arrived at Tianjie Temple by now."
Zhu Gaochi certainly knew the importance of Yao Guangxiao to his father, and wanted to delay time in the name of the emperor's grandson.
However, Jinyiwei didn't give any face, and directly took out His Majesty's decree.
In front of the imperial edict, Zhu Gaochi dared not stop him. He could only watch Yao Guangxiao being taken away.
Before leaving, Yao Guangxiao wanted to say a few words, but Jin Yiwei sternly stopped him, apparently accepting the instructions.
"What!"
Zhu Di shouted loudly.
In just a split second, Zhu Di thought of who had the idea and cut off his arm.
"What a great nephew. He is really ruthless. I really underestimate you."
Zhu Di's expression that was about to become furious suddenly dissipated in the next moment and calmed down.
Whenever there is a calm moment in major events, Zhu Di is naturally not a simple person to have the achievements he has today.
As a monk, Yao Guangxiao was originally very low-key.
Neither his father nor his third enemy paid much attention to Yao Guangxiao.
The only one who understands him better is Zhu Ying.
Zhu Di just didn't expect that Zhu Ying's counterattack would come so quickly, and he would take Dao Yan away directly through his father.
The person in charge of the Sutra Collection Pavilion of Tianjie Temple sounds pretty good.
But the implication of being forcibly taken away by Jin Yiwei and taking office without even giving him a chance to meet one last time is very obvious.
After a slight hesitation, Zhu Di turned around and left.
He wants to go to Tianjie Temple in person.
Not only because Yao Guangxiao played a very important think tank role for him, but also because he was the key.
Yao Guangxiao was basically responsible for the hidden secrets on the capital side, unless he came forward.
...
Tianjie Temple.
It is located in the outer city of the capital, about ten miles away.
The land here is broad and deep, with thirty-six nunneries, a west pavilion, a bell tower, etc. It has the tranquility of the natural mountains and forests, and the splendor of the murals.
Zhu Yuanzhang became a monk at Huangjue Temple in Fengyang in his early years. After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, he couldn't help but take good care of the monks and temples, and even treated Tianjie Temple with special eyes.
In order to manage the world's monks and Taoism, Zhu Yuanzhang established the Senglu Department under the Ministry of Rites to manage the world's monks and temples, and also established the Daolu Department to manage the world's Taoist temples. The Daolu Department is located in Chaotian Palace, and the Senglu Department is located in Tianjie Temple.
Seng Lu Si is a government office in the sixth grade, where eminent monks gather. In other words, Tianjie Temple is the government office that manages Buddhism on behalf of the royal family.
Some people call Tianjie Temple the number one Zen forest in the world, and that is not an exaggeration.
When foreign envoys come to pay tribute, they must first familiarize themselves with the rituals at Tianjie Temple, and finally choose a day to pay tribute.
The manager of the Sutra Collection Pavilion of Tianjie Temple is also the monk official of Zhenger Ba Sutra.
Compared with Yao Guangxiao being the abbot of Qingshou Temple, in terms of status, he was actually promoted, although this was not what Yao Guangxiao wanted.
"Master Daoyan!"
"Master Daoyan!"
"Master Daoyan!"......
Yao Guangxiao is still very famous in Tianjie Temple. Accompanied by Jin Yiwei, there are monks who put their hands together and say hello along the way.
There were even some monks with envy in their eyes. They were able to have Jinyiwei come to Tianjie Temple with them. It was obvious that Master Daoyan was getting better and better.
There is naturally more than one Sutra Pavilion in Tianjie Temple.
Yao Guangxiao went all the way deep and looked at the somewhat dilapidated hut in front of him with a wry smile.
He had stayed in Tianjie Temple for two years and didn't know there was such a place.
Thinking about it, it may have taken a lot of effort to find this remote cabin.
No wonder when he came, none of the monks and officials he was familiar with in Tianjie Temple showed up, presumably to avoid suspicion.
"Master Daoyan, this is where it is. Although it is a bit messy, it can be tidied up to protect it from wind and rain. Master Daoyan will take care of it in the future."
One of the two royal guards who came with him said to Yao Guangxiao with a smile.
Only then did Yao Guangxiao react and asked: "The two young brothers also live here with the poor monk?"
The Jinyiwei who spoke earlier replied: "Yes, I will live with the master in one month after receiving the order from the top."
"If anything happens, Master, just tell us two brothers. This Tianjie Temple is very big, so there is no need to bother Master running around here and there."
After hearing this, Yao Guangxiao finally understood.
These two people were clearly spying on themselves. They said they were offered the position of monk official in charge of the Buddhist Scripture Pavilion. In fact, it was no different from being under house arrest.
However, after hearing Jin Yiwei's words about one month, Yao Guangxiao still asked: "Are these two young brothers only here for one month?"
"Don't worry, Master." Jin Yiwei said with a smile:
"After my brother leaves, someone will naturally come over to take over."
Yao Guangxiao was speechless. He still took turns to play. He also understood in his heart that he was afraid that he and Jin Yiwei would communicate with each other, so he made this arrangement.
While their thoughts were wandering, the two Jin Yiwei didn't waste any time and started to tidy up the house.
After all, this house has been abandoned for a long time and needs to be renovated before it can be moved in.
It was already afternoon and the sun was just right.
Yao Guangxiao stood there, wearing black monk robes, watching the two royal guards working.
It stands to reason that Yao Guangxiao should be in a sad state of mind at this moment.
After all, for him, all his previous efforts have been wasted at this point.
However, Yao Guangxiao, who was standing in the sun, frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
Although he may be disconnected from King Yan Zhu Di because of this, Yao Guangxiao has never been loyal to King Yan.
"Since His Highness Changsun chose to imprison the poor monk here instead of executing him directly, I think that after His Highness Changsun takes control of the overall situation, the poor monk should still have a chance to succeed."
