"Maybe the old monk has some misunderstandings about my master." Wang Xian said with a smile.
"Ha..." Yao Guangxiao chuckled and stopped dwelling on the issue. He said in a somewhat sad tone: "Fang Xiaoru died in the end, and he was still a vine..."
Wang Xian suddenly realized something. It seemed that Zhu Di's killing of Jianwen's loyal ministers had dealt a great blow to Yao Guangxiao. He said softly: "Zhou Zhengtai is different from Fang Xiaoru. His loyalty is to Jin Shang."
"Yeah." Yao Guangxiao nodded, then shook his head and said, "It's different, but it's actually the same. Unless Zhou Xin bows his head to Jin Yiwei, no one can save him."
"It's impossible for him to bow to Jin Yiwei." Wang Xian immediately shook his head and said.
"So they are the same." Yao Guang Xiaozhong lowered his eyelids and said: "There is a kind of people in this world who are really unreasonable. Fang Xiaoru is like that, and so is Zhou Xin."
"Since it is unreasonable, why did the old monk save Fang Xiaoru in the first place?"
Yao Guangxiao said calmly: "In fact, I just said this to the emperor before entering the city. Later, the emperor killed him and beat Tie Xuan and others, and I didn't say anything again..."
"Then please tell the emperor this, old monk." Wang Xian said unyieldingly.
"..." The look of admiration in Yao Guangxiao's eyes disappeared fleetingly, and his eyes turned cold again and said: "If you come to me as soon as you enter the capital, there is no chance that I will come to the palace. But even if you have this rosary after all your hard work, I will
I can't talk to the emperor anymore." Who is Yao Guangxiao? How could he not know that if he comes forward at this time, he will undoubtedly be seen as siding with the prince, which he doesn't like.
"This..." Wang Xian found that his calculations were completely invisible in front of the old monk. He had already seen it clearly. If he wanted to use the big banner as a tiger's skin, there was no way to do it. He didn't make any excuses. He was honest.
He said: "For me, helping others means helping myself. This is true for Zhou Xin, and the same is true for helping the prince."
"I dare to tell the truth." Yao Guangxiao was silent for a moment, then teased: "Are you so optimistic about the prince?"
"Yes, the prince is the foundation of the country, and there is also a grandson. I believe that the emperor will not treat the great affairs of the country as a piece of cake." Wang Xian said frankly: "Today, the prince is stuck in the shallows. If I can help him, in the future when the dragon is in the sky,
, I made a lot of money."
"..." Yao Guangxiao laughed sarcastically and said: "Quite frank and shameless enough." Then he stared at Wang Xian closely, making him tremble, and then asked: "Why aren't you afraid of Ji Gang?"
"I have never heard that the Jinyiwei commander has a happy ending." Wang Xian said lightly: "How does Ji Gang compare to Mao Xiang, Jiang Xian? Is there any reason for immortality?" Mao Xiang was the first Jinyiwei commander, and created the Hongwu Three
The Hu Weiyong case, a major case, implicated more than 30,000 people, and almost wiped out all the founding heroes from South Korea's Duke Li Shanchang. In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang killed Mao Xiang to quell public anger. Jiang Xian was the second commander of the Jinyi Guards, and even more
The tragic Blue Jade Case was his handiwork, and was eventually thrown away by Zhu Yuanzhang with a glass of poisonous wine...
And Ji Gang was the third commander of the Jinyi Guards. He did far more harm than Mao and Chiang. He was a hundred times more arrogant. Wang Xian could not see the reason why he could have a good death.
"I thought you had some high opinions, but it turns out you are just talking nonsense," Yao Guangxiao sneered: "I am not a mean and ungrateful person like Taizu today. What's more, Ji Gang and the King of Han are helping each other, and their status will be stable for at least a few years.
Very." He paused, then teased: "Do you think you can survive until the day Ji Gang falls?"
"Yes." Wang Xian raised his hand slyly and said, "With this rosary, Ji Gang won't dare to do anything to me."
"Although you don't read much, you should know the story of Guizhou's donkey's incompetence, right?" Yao Guangxiao mocked: "Do you think Jin Yiwei will be fooled by you a second time?"
"..." Wang Xian remained unwavering and said: "But I am not a stupid donkey. I must have the capital to protect myself before the next crisis.
"I want to hear how you protect yourself?" Yao Guangxiao said with narrowed triangular eyes.
"Of course I have to rely on the old monk." Wang Xian said with a smile: "I was not sure at first, but now I know that I bowed to the right door of the temple today, and the old monk will protect me."
"..." Yao Guangxiao was really stunned: "Why?"
"I heard that the old monk rarely saw foreigners over the years, and even if he did, he would only speak a few words..." Wang Xian chuckled and said: "The old monk said so many things to me. I guess it was me, a powerless and unknown person.
Senior, what caught the old monk's discernment."
"Well, you are quite thick-skinned." Yao Guangxiao nodded and said, "But you are wrong, I want to kill you now."
"Impossible." Wang Xian shook his head and smiled: "The old monk is reluctant to kill me."
"Uh..." Yao Guangxiao was stunned again, looking closely at this brazen boy who was so thick-skinned and rare in the world, "Why?"
"Because I am one of the few people in the world who can keep up with the old monk's unbridled thinking," Wang Xian said lightly: "Kill me, and the old monk will be lonely."
"Yeah." This time Yao Guangxiao did not deny it anymore, nodded and said: "It is indeed lonely." Following his words, the meditation room fell into silence.
Wang Xian breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't sleep all night last night, thinking about what attitude he should take to see Yao Guangxiao today, and finally decided to listen to Zhou Xin's original teachings and face it with his true colors. Because except for that unconstrained soul, he had no other choice.
There is no place where Yao Guangxiao's discernment can come under his eyes...
But this is a risky move. If Yao Guangxiao is used to everyone being respectful to him and feels offended, he will lose everything and lose everything. But he feels that Yao Guangxiao has cultivated his character for a long time and should not be able to do it easily.
get angry.
Yao Guangxiao was indeed very interested in him because he smelled the same kind of atmosphere in Wang Xian. As Zhu Zhanji said, Yao Guangxiao has been an outlier all his life. His weirdness comes from his extraordinary intelligence. He was born at the wrong time, while Wang Xian
The weirdness comes from his second-generation soul. Although he has been trying very hard to hide his differences, he can't hide them from Yao Guangxiao's discerning eyes. They are of the same kind, which is why Yao Guangxiao is interested in him.
"It's not impossible if you want me to be your backer." But Yao Guangxiao is Yao Guangxiao after all, and no one can get any favors from him: "Get ordained now and worship me as your teacher. Naturally, no one will dare to hit you anymore.
idea."
"Uh..." This time it was Wang Xian's turn to be shocked. He had thought about becoming a eunuch in Beijing, but he had never thought about becoming a monk. But after only thinking about it for a moment, he nodded and said: "Okay, as long as the old man
Monk, go and fish out Zhou Zhengtai, so that I can be tonsured now."
"Uh..." Yao Guangxiao didn't expect that he would be so decisive, "You seem to have just gotten married?"
"I can't care about that much anymore." Wang Xian said seriously: "I have sworn a long time ago that I will risk my life to save Zhou Zhitai. I don't even want my life, so why do I need a wife?"
"You are not this kind of person..." Yao Guangxiao said slowly.
"Every time dogs are slaughtered due to righteousness, Wang Xian was born in the market, and he can survive today only because of his righteousness." Wang Xian said sternly.
When Yao Guangxiao heard this, his eyebrows twitched and he said slowly: "Zhou Xin's case has changed. I can't get involved, but I can write a letter for you and ask another person to handle it."
"Since the master has given a discount, let's give the disciple a discount as well," Wang Xian took the opportunity to bargain: "Let the boy become a disciple without being ordained."
"Is this also a bargain?" Yao Guangxiao glared.
"Master also said just now that I just got married and left my innocent daughter-in-law to be a widow. How can I peacefully follow the master to practice?" Wang Xian immediately changed his title and said with a calm smile: "Master, you are compassionate..."
"Then forget it." Yao Guangxiao lowered his eyelids and said.
"Don't pay..." Wang Xian had no choice now, and said with a bitter face: "Just shave it, I'm already tired of having such long hair."
"Hahaha..." Looking at his face that looked like a bitter gourd, Yao Guangxiao laughed happily and said, "I don't care if you don't get tonsured willingly." As he said that, he picked up the sheep's hair for copying scriptures and wrote a letter.
The text message was handed to Wang Xian. Wang Xian reached out to pick it up. He didn’t know how he got it, but the Bodhi beads were in the hands of the old monk. “This string of beads is exchanged for this letter. It’s fair and reasonable, and I am innocent. Now you give me
I'll roll as far as I can." After saying that, he closed his eyes.
Seeing that the old monk's face suddenly changed, Wang Xian had no choice but to bow respectfully and exit the meditation room.
In the Zen room, Yao Guangxiao finished reciting a sutra silently, then slowly opened his eyes, with a faint smile on his lips.
In that room, Wang Xian came out of the Zen room, called everyone who was still eating noodles in the dining room, left Qingshou Temple, and returned to the Prince's Mansion.
Zhu Zhanji had been waiting eagerly for a long time. When he saw Wang Xian coming back, he pulled him into the study and asked him in detail what happened today.
Hearing Wang Xian's bold conversation with Yao Guangxiao, Zhu Zhanji was amazed and said: "You are really brave. Even my father and I are respectful in front of Master Yao and dare not breathe."
"Yao Guangxiao is a strange man, how can he care about those false etiquette? I told him from the beginning that I came to pay homage to an old monk, and I am an old monk in my heart." Wang Xian said lightly: "I think all the princes and nobles in Beijing are wrong.
He is respectful, but he doesn't seem to appreciate it, so we have to treat him in another way." Then he looked at Zhu Zhanji and said, "You think so, Xiaohei."
"..." Zhu Zhanji suddenly said: "It turns out that I fattened up your courage."
"Hehe." Wang Xian smiled and nodded: "That's it."
"But it's a pity that you didn't become his teacher?" Zhu Zhanji lamented: "This is an opportunity that many people in the world dream of."
"It's just a joke, it can't be taken seriously." Wang Xian said in his heart, you don't understand this. We have already established a certain relationship, and it doesn't have to be in that form. In fact, he and Yao Guangxiao talked for so long.
In terms of time, in the eyes of caring people, it is enough to explain the problem.
After saying that, Wang Xian took out the letter and gave it to Zhu Zhanji, saying: "This is the Bodhi Buddha bead. I wonder who Miao Xiu Zhenren is?"
Zhu Zhanji took it, took a look at the cover, and said with a strange expression: "Master Miao Xiu, she is my aunt..."
"That's the woman who once boldly..." Wang Xian was speechless: "..."
"Yes," Zhu Zhanji nodded heavily: "That's the woman who was bold..."
