Princess of Han

In the 17th year of Zhizheng, Ni Wenjun, the prime minister of the Tianwan regime, took advantage of the emptiness of the Hanyang garrison to assassinate Xu Shouhui and usurp the throne.Xu Da, who was only newly married, led his troops back to aid.In the same year, Zhu Yuanzhang, who received the news that he was recuperating in Yingtian Biezhuang, rushed to Hanyang overnight regardless of Miss Xie's persuasion.

In the 18th year of Zhengzheng, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had made great contributions to rescue, was appointed Marshal of the Three Armies, eating away at Ni Wenjun's old army, and his power was unprecedentedly strong.

In the 19th year of Zhengzheng, Xu Shouhui moved his capital to Jiangzhou, changed the name of the year to Tianding, made Marshal Zhu Yuanzhang Wu Guogong, and granted him the official residence.At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang was already in charge of the military and horse power, Xu Shouhui was gradually emptied of power, and his control over the army was not as good as he wanted, showing a situation where the tail could not be lost.

In the 20th year of Zhizheng, the black-clothed army recharged their batteries for three years, drove straight into Pingjiang, and captured Cheng Wang Zhang Shicheng.The following year, Han Wang Chen Youliang sent his troops south to attack Jiangzhou.

In order not to suffer from the enemy, Chen Youliang adopted the strategy of his subordinates' counselors, first easy and then difficult, gradually annexing the surrounding weak forces, and finally formed a siege of Jiangzhou Red Turban Army.

Outside Jiangzhou City, Zhu Yuanzhang, who has claimed to be the King of Wu, stood on the city wall wearing a battle armor, staring at the big ships on the river that were not friendly.

Hundreds of warships were parked under the city of Jiangzhou, and there was a black cloud that could not be seen.The black-clothed soldiers with weapons, bows and arrows on the warship were stern and awe-inspiring, like dormant beasts, waiting for their king to give an order, and they swarmed in, invincible!

"King Wu, the black-clothed army has captured Qizhou, Huangzhou, Xingguo, Huangmei, Guangji, Leping, Fuzhou and other places in just a few months, and incorporated the Longxing garrison. It is said that there are 60 soldiers and horses. Chen Youliang is also from the waterway, and we count the support personnel, and it is only about 20. If there is no support, Jiangzhou may be in danger!"

Zhu Yuanzhang did not speak.

How could he not understand.However, Jiangzhou has now become an isolated city. Other forces, such as King Cheng, Zhang Shicheng, and Fang Guozhen, have surrendered to Chen Youliang. Who else can support them?

"King Wu, we still have General Xu Da."

"Tiande?" The man was startled.In recent years, because of his gradual control of the political power, Tiande has gradually become estranged from him.Xu Shouhui is kind to him, don't worry about how Xu Shouhui has been suspicious of him in the past few years because of the in-law relationship between the Xu family and Chen Youliang, Tiande is a man of temperament, as long as Xu Shouhui doesn't touch his bottom line, he will be loyal to him of.

In the eyes of his subordinates, the marshal's silence was another aspect.

"The subordinates understand King Wu's scruples, but, although the general's sister is married to Chen Youliang, we also have General Xu's wife and family in our hands. With his wife around, the general will not dare to do anything wrong, and cause Jiang The state doesn't care!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression froze.

"Brothers and sisters..." He disdains threatening his close friends with women and children.only……

Fayuan Temple

In front of the quaint and majestic mountain gate, the little novice monk in gray clothes got up early, and after finishing his homework, he took a broom and swept the steps step by step.He scanned so carefully that he didn't even notice when someone walked up to him.It wasn't until a girl's voice that was clear and cheerful like a lark suddenly sounded behind him that he turned around and put his hands together.

"Amitabha, the patroness, what is your order?"

"Little monk, is Gao Bin, the presiding officer who made the order in your temple, here?"

"You are asking Master Gao Bin?"

"Exactly, please inform me that my lady wants to see Abbot Gao Bin!"

Following the direction in which the girl came, the little novice noticed a gorgeous soft sedan parked not far away.A gust of mountain wind blew, and the veil around the sedan chair swayed slightly, and only the hazy figure sitting inside could be vaguely seen.

The little monk withdrew his gaze and didn't dare to look any more. The black-clothed guards around the sedan chair all had knives on their waists, looking fierce and vicious, obviously not easy to provoke.

"Amitabha, Master Gao Bin has been fasting for the past few days, so it may be inconvenient to see guests!"

"My lady is not someone else, you just have to talk, just say... just say..." Oh no, what are you talking about?The girl in green clothes, standing like a jade bamboo, suddenly turned around and ran to the sedan chair, leaned over and said something.But in a few breaths, she ran back happily again.

"Little monk, just say that grandson Yuanheng has come to see him."

grandson?

The little novice could not help but glance at the sedan chair not far away.Could it be that Master Gao Bin married before he became a monk?If so, it's not easy to stop.

"Amitabha, female benefactor, please wait a moment!" He just went to announce it, and it was beyond his ability to know whether the master would see him or not.

"Little monk, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Seeing the little monk entered the gate of the temple, there was a commotion from the sedan chair.As the maid gently opened the curtain, a slender and charming woman with a headdress on her forehead came out leading a boy of six or seven years old.

Looking at the majestic mountain gate in front of her, she lost her mind for a while.

"Miss, why did you come out? The mountain wind is strong here, be careful of the cold. Chunlu, hurry up and take out the lady's cloak!"

"No need. Let's go in later, take care of the young master and don't let him run around."

"Yes, miss, I will watch over the young master."

When the two talked, they didn't feel that they would be turned away at all, and their words and deeds were very casual, which attracted people who came to Fayuan Temple to look back again and again, wondering which wife it was, and it was expensive. gas.

Sure enough, after a while, the little novice who had gone in hastily came out, clasping his hands together.

"Amitabha, donor, please follow me."

"Please little master lead the way."

Tightening her son's hand, Xu Peiyao led her eldest son into the Fayuan Temple, blocking the sight of the wives and ladies standing behind her.

The last time I came to Fayuan Temple to visit my godfather was several years ago.At that time, she was unmarried, free from restraints, and lived a self-willed life. Now...

Looking down at the child who turned his head and looked around curiously, the woman smiled lightly and gently touched his son's head.

"Mother, didn't the book say that parents don't dare to damage their body, hair and skin? Why don't people here have hair? Aren't they unfilial to their parents?"

"Silly boy, the masters here are all monks. They have been ordained, and they have left the world of mortals. Naturally, the three thousand threads of troubles have gone!"

The boy tilted his head, his big eyes flickered: "A monk? Did you run away from home?"

"No, I converted to Buddhism and served the Buddha!"

"Young master, all monks have no hair."

"But Zhu Chongba has hair." Staring at Luo Yi, the little boy retorted loudly.

"This... this..." Luo Yi didn't know how to answer for a moment, so he could only perfunctoryly say, "I have to ask Abbot Gao Bin about this!"

Brick looked at her calm young lady, and she was also very curious.

"It stands to reason that Zhu Chongba is the abbot's disciple. Unlike the lay disciples of the outer sect who can keep their hair, why didn't he shave? Miss, do you know?"

The little boy also stared wide-eyed, waiting for his mother to answer.

"Godfather has his own deep meaning. Well, here we are, Yuan Heng, go in with mother. When you see grandpa later, do you want to let others know?" Bending down to look at her son, Xu Peiyao tidied up his clothes. Then he took the child into the Zen room in front of him.

Behind him, Luo Yi rolled his eyes and guessed wildly: Could it be that the abbot asked Zhu Chongba to keep his hair for the rest of his life to take care of the young lady?

In the meditation room, the old monk who was sitting cross-legged on the futon and beating the wooden fish slowly opened his eyes the moment everyone entered.

"Godfather!"

"Pei Yao, why are you here? There are wars and chaos everywhere outside, you are a girl with a child, don't run around by yourself, your family will worry." Getting off the couch, I looked excitedly at the woman in front of me who had faded from her innocence and looked more elegant, her eyes couldn't help being moist.

He protected and took care of Yao'er who grew up. She has already grown her wings and doesn't need his care anymore.While feeling relieved, the old man also felt a subtle loss in his heart.

He is old, and I'm afraid he won't be able to take care of Peiyao for a long time.

Xu Peiyao walked over and gently hugged the old man whose body was no longer tall and strong, and who was already old. Suppressing the discomfort in her heart, she tried her best to smile.

"Godfather, long time no see you, let me come and see you."

"What's so good about me being a bad old man." Although he said so in his mouth, the old man felt very good in his heart.It's still a daughter who is caring, so it's not like Zhongba...

Mentioning this name made the old man startled suddenly.

"Godfather, how is your health now? I brought some health-care medicine. Take it every day and see if it works." Not noticing the old man's lack of focus, Xu Peiyao helped him walk slowly to the toilet. sit down.

"I'm in good health. I haven't been bumping all these years, and the temple is quiet. It's a good place for self-cultivation. Don't worry about me. By the way, Yaoer, how is your mother doing recently? I heard that Nahan is dead, little junior sister she……"

"Mother is very good, maybe she has untied the knot in her heart. In the past few years, Mother has often traveled abroad. Uncle Jin has been with her all the time, so I feel relieved."

"That's fine, that's fine..."

Looking at the very simple meditation room in front of her, Xu Peiyao repeated the old saying: "Godfather, answer God with me, let Yaoer take good care of you." Godfather is too alone in Fayuan Temple alone.Looking at the old man's skinny cheeks and hands, Xu Peiyao felt very uncomfortable.

"No, since the old monk has become a monk, the temple is my best home. Peyao, don't worry about your godfather. Godfather eats fast and recites Buddha in the temple all these years. Influenced by Buddhism, his mind is very peaceful."

"Can……"

"Pei Yao, listen to my godfather. When I was young, I was wanton and unruly. I killed countless people and committed serious crimes. When I was old, I was able to put down the butcher's knife and recite sutras for the sins I committed when I was young. I have let go of my obsession. The only regret is that It's heavy eight..."

"Godfather!"

"Chongba has liked you since he was a child. I think he can protect you regardless of life and death, so I want to accept him as a disciple and teach him martial arts, so as to protect you in the future. Unfortunately, we have no destiny in the end." I took a look. Teng Teng Teng ran over and scratched his legs, staring at his child with big watery eyes without blinking. Abbot Gao Bin smiled and patted the boy's head.

"Seeing that you are living a good life now, godfather has no regrets. As for Zhongba... well, let him go, he is already old as a teacher, and he will go to see Buddha in a few years, and he no longer has the energy to pay attention What is your last name in this world?"

The old man looked in the direction of going south and sighed faintly.

I'm running out of time...
