The last time he went to Fengyang, Zhu Di had a profound understanding of the simplicity of this "Zhongdu".
This time he took his younger brothers with him and had to rely on himself for everything.
So now he took people to the market to buy things.
As soon as they left the imperial city, they felt someone was following them.
Zhu Di remained calm and led the people into an alley.
The man didn't know why he followed in, only to find that it was a dead end.
Zhu Di stood at the end and looked at him calmly with his hands behind his back.
The guards standing beside him and on the wall had their bows fully drawn, pointing arrows at those who followed.
Zhu Di said coldly: "Where are you from? You are so brave! You even dare to follow me."
Although he is young, he already has a reputation for being cold-hearted and thoughtful, both in government and in public.
Therefore, those who wanted to dig a hole for him would only dare to go around Zhu Bai and Zhu Ru.
This was the first time someone came at him so blatantly.
The man was pointed at by more than a dozen arrows, but he did not panic. He fell to the ground and shouted: "King Yan, have you forgotten the poor monk?"
Zhu Di looked at it carefully and then clicked: "Oh, it turns out to be Abbot Daoyan of Linggu Temple."
Dao Yan kowtowed: "King Yan still remembers the poor monk. Even if the poor monk dies immediately, it will be worth it."
The last time he risked his life in exchange for Lao Zhu's appointment as a monk, in the end he was directly removed from the list by Lao Zhu because he was too ugly.
He was unwilling to give in, and later expressed his feelings to Lao Zhu many times.
It's a pity that Lao Zhu ignored it.
Zhu Di also knew these things, and now he had a rough idea of what he was going to do.
Other monks are eager to stay away from the court and practice pure things.
It is quite strange that this monk is so keen on official career.
Zhu Di calmly walked over and helped Dao Yan up: "Master, there is no need to be polite. You and I have a relationship. If you have something to say to me, just say it directly. This way it will be easier to follow me."
Injured accidentally."
Dao Yan sighed: "King Yan is busy with government affairs and lives in a deep palace. Dao Yan's people are soft-spoken and have no way to meet him. Besides, King Yan will go to Zhongdu tomorrow. The poor monk is afraid that if he doesn't say a few important words to King Yan, he will have to pay homage to him.
Wait a few years.”
Zhu Di nodded slightly: "Okay, you say."
Daoyan looked around.
Zhu Di said to the guard commander: "You go to the alley and wait."
After the guards had gone far away, Dao Yan said: "Your Highness is in danger."
Zhu Di frowned quickly: "What do you mean?!" He hated other people's pretense and alarmism.
"It's not just the poor monks who can see that His Highness has the aura of an emperor." Dao Yan lowered his voice, "The young monk who was shot and killed in Tianjie Temple last time was obviously a hole dug by someone just for His Highness. Fortunately, Your Highness was not fooled."
The so-called imperial aura is just a comprehensive consideration of ability and status.
Counting Lao Zhu's sons, only Zhu Di has this ability and urgently needs to take a step forward.
Not to mention, now that he has the support of Xu Da and Zhu Bai, he has a lot more chances of winning.
It's good that the land in Yan is bitterly cold, but the sky is high and the emperor is far away.
In order for Zhu Di to guard Beiguan, Lao Zhu must let him have his own soldiers.
Therefore, as soon as Zhu Di goes to Yan, the dragon will enter the sea and the tiger will return to the mountain, and there will be no restraint.
In comparison, Zhu Biao looked very dangerous as he watched everyone support him.
Because he has no wolf nature!
The brothers who surrounded him were all like wolves and tigers, but he was as gentle and kind as a lamb...
Zhu Di raised his eyebrows slightly, pretending not to hear the treacherous words "imperial spirit", and just asked: "What's the trick? Why can't I understand this?"
In fact, the young monk also stopped him and offered him a white hat as a gift.
Zhu Di was furious at that time and wanted to kidnap the monk and escort him to the government.
But after thinking about it, if this monk met the official and beat him up, he would not be able to explain clearly.
Therefore, he only said one sentence in the end: "You crazy monk, if you continue to talk nonsense, I will sentence you to treason and kill your nine tribes."
Just scare the monk away.
As a result, within a few days, the monk was shot and killed by Zhu Xi in Tianjie Temple.
He was a little scared when he thought about it: This monk turned out to be the one who tried every prince. Fortunately, he was dead, otherwise he would not have known how many troubles he would have caused.
When Dao Yan mentioned this matter again, Zhu Di was a little nervous, with murderous intent lurking in his heart.
Dao Yan said: "Although His Highness's answer is flawless, if someone with intentions insists on pouring dirty water on His Highness and making slanderous remarks, there is no guarantee that the Emperor and the Crown Prince will not be swayed."
Zhu Di narrowed his eyes and looked at him: "Bold demon monk. You took great pains to meet this king just to drive a wedge between our father, son and brother?"
Daoyan clasped his hands together: "Amitabha. Actually, there is no need for me to talk too much. His Highness is so smart and he understands in his heart."
Zhu Di said coldly: "It's better if you know that you talk too much."
Dao Yan said in a low voice: "The emperor changed his mind temporarily and did not allow His Highness to go down and claim vassal status, but ordered you to take the young princes to Zhongdu to practice martial arts. This shows that the Emperor's heart for His Highness is no longer what it used to be."
Zhu Di lowered his eyes and said nothing.
I don’t know what that old man Liu Bowen said in front of Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao. It was really abominable.
Zhu Fan and Zhu Xi made mistakes one after another, but Lao Zhu didn't blame them and let them become emperors as planned.
But he managed the Beicheng Military and Horse Division so well, but Lao Zhu still refused to let him go.
You don't want to test him more, what do you mean?
If given the chance, he would definitely cut the old magic stick into thousands of pieces and peel off the day lilies!
Dao Yan continued: "Your Highness cannot sit still and wait for death. It is better to plan for yourself earlier. The most important thing now is to find a way to go to the vassal state as early as possible."
Zhu Di looked at him sideways: "What good will it do to you if you tell me so much?"
Dao Yan knelt down and kowtowed: "If Your Highness is willing to let Dao Yan follow you, Dao Yan will go through fire and water and be loyal to Your Highness."
Zhu Di laughed angrily: "I am loyal to my father and His Highness the Crown Prince, and I only want to guard the northern border. I have no other intention. As long as I act upright and stand upright, I am not afraid of any sycophants. If I don't see that I am following you,
Since you have met once, I will not waste my time here listening to your nonsense. If you dare to talk nonsense in front of me again, I will never forgive you lightly."
After saying that, he walked away.
Dao Yan straightened up, stared blankly at Zhu Di's back, and murmured to himself: "King Yan, is this poor monk really mistaken? Are you as unambitious as those princes..."
-----
Zhu Bai was sitting in Guanya. He heard that there was a monk outside who wanted to see him. He thought it was Zong Li who had come back. He rushed out to greet him, but he found out that it was the ugly monk Dao Yan.
It's not that he judges people by their appearance.
Every part of this Daoyan's face is a highlight of his aesthetics.
It’s just that his facial features are not good-looking, but his temperament is also very sinister.
No matter how you look at it, it feels uncomfortable.
Dao Yan ignored Zhu Bai's dislike and saluted lightly: "His Royal Highness King Xiang."
How many secular people do not judge people by their appearance?
He has long been used to other people's contempt for him because of his appearance.
