The daily life of the great grandson of Ming Dynasty

Some time ago, Zhu Di sent someone to check whether Zhu Yunqi was in Huangjue Temple.

At the beginning, the people sent by Zhu Di searched the Huangjue Temple for several days but did not find Zhu Yunqi's existence.After Zhu Di received the news, he thought that Zhu Yunqi was not in Huangjue Temple, but then he thought about it. If Zhu Yunqi hid in Huangjue Temple, he would not be easily discovered. He asked the people sent to continue to stay in Huangjue Temple until he found Zhu Yunqi until.

The people sent by Zhu Di have been squatting in Huangjue Temple for more than ten days and finally found Zhu Yunqi.

Zhu Yunqi's Dharma name is Yuanjing, and he has been hiding in the Buddhist hall underground of Huangjue Temple.

As a royal temple, Huangjue Temple naturally attracted much attention. The local government in Fengyang often came here. If Zhu Yunwen was seen by them, his whereabouts would be exposed.

The people and officials in Fengyang, as well as many monks, have all seen Zhu Yunqi.

Before Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, he had been to Huangjue Temple with Zhu Yuanzhang more than once.After he ascended the throne, he would naturally come to Fengyang to worship his ancestors and come to Huangjue Temple to offer incense.

Most of the monks in Huangjue Temple have seen him. If he blatantly appeared in Huangjue Temple, it would be tantamount to self-destructing his identity.Therefore, he can only hide in the underground Buddhist hall of Huangjue Temple.

Although it is an underground Buddhist hall, it is also very spacious. Zhu Yunwen chanted sutras here every day.

At this time, he was sitting in front of the Buddha statue, looking at the wooden fish with one hand, turning the beads with the other, and reciting Buddhist scriptures in a low voice.His expression looked very solemn and pious, but his heart was not quiet.

The knocking sound of the wooden fish has always been gentle and rhythmic, but the sudden thud sounded particularly loud and abrupt in the quiet Buddhist hall.

Zhu Yunwen opened his eyes at this moment, stopped chanting, and stared at Muyu with obscure eyes.

At this moment, someone pushed open the door of the Buddhist hall, followed by the sound of footsteps slowly approaching.

"Yuanjing, your heart is not quiet."

The person who came in had a benevolent face and a kind tone.

Zhu Yunqi immediately stood up and bowed to the visitor: "Abbot."

The abbot returned a salute, and then asked Zhu Yunqi to sit down.

Zhu Yunwen sat back and kept turning the beads with his right hand.

The abbot glanced at Zhu Yunwen's movement of turning the beads and slowly accelerated, and he knew that his heart was getting more and more restless.

"Yuanjing, calm your heart."

When Zhu Yunwen heard this, he stopped turning the beads, and then said in a bitter tone, "Abbot, I can't calm down."

"Why can't you calm down?"

"As soon as I thought of the real dragon appearing in the fourth uncle's enthronement ceremony, I just..." The fact that the real dragon appeared in Zhu Di's enthronement ceremony has spread to Fengyang, and naturally it has also spread to Huangjue Temple. "Abbot, if I'm not the real dragon emperor, why did the emperor choose me to succeed?"

The abbot stroked his beard and said, "Yuanjing, all of this is predestined."

"Destined?" Zhu Yunwen showed a reconciled look on his face, "Is it destined that I will be robbed of the throne by my fourth uncle? Is it destined that I will not be as good as fourth uncle?"

"Yuanjing, do you mind that your fourth uncle robbed you of the throne, or do you care that you are not the real Dragon Emperor?"

"I don't even mind." Zhu Yunwen's eyes flashed with gloom, "I am a legitimate successor, but God doesn't recognize me."

"You said yourself that God doesn't recognize you, so why are you still unwilling?"

"I..." Zhu Yunwen choked.

"Yuanjing, your fourth uncle's successful ascension to the throne is predestined by heaven, and all of this has been arranged in the dark." The abbot spoke softly, "Why are you so persistent?"

"Abbot, I am not reconciled."

In the past two or three months, unwillingness and resentment have been gnawing at Zhu Yunqi's heart all the time.

"Yuanjing, what can you do if you are not willing?" the abbot asked calmly, "Now that your fourth uncle is on the throne, he is recognized by the world and recognized by the people as the real dragon emperor. What are you going to do? Come back and take back your throne ?”

"Can't I make a comeback and take back the throne that originally belonged to me?"

Seeing the persistence and anger in Zhu Yunqi's eyes, the abbot sighed softly in his heart, "Yuanjing, the matter is a foregone conclusion, you can't change it."

"Why can't I change it, there are still many people supporting me in this world?"

"Then why did you lose to your fourth uncle?"

The abbot's rhetorical question made Zhu Yunwen choke again.

"As far as the poor monk knows, when your fourth uncle sent troops, there were only a few hundred soldiers, but you had an army of millions." Although the abbot is a monk, he still has a good understanding of state affairs. "After your fourth uncle dispatched troops, it was as if he had received help from the heavens. The momentum along the way has been overwhelming. Your army of millions retreated steadily, and in the end even Nanjing could not be defended."

When Zhu Yunwen heard the abbot's words, his face became very ugly in an instant.

"Yuanjing, if you make a comeback and go to war again, the people will suffer from the war again, can you bear it?"

"Abbot, are you trying to persuade me to give up?"

"Yuanjing, everything is a foregone conclusion. If you persist in your obsession, your life will be ruined." The abbot said compassionately, "Now the world is peaceful, and the people can finally live a stable life."

Zhu Yunwen fell silent when the abbot said this.

"Yuanjing, you are a generous person, do you want to watch the people suffer from war again, their families are ruined, their wives and children are separated?"

"I……"

"Yuanjing, over the past three years, the common people have spent the whole day in fear..."

The abbot told Zhu Yunxuan about the sufferings of the common people during the war. After hearing this, Zhu Yunxuan showed a look of intolerance.

"Yuanjing, the poor monk knows that you are unwilling, but you can't change anything." The abbot persuaded, "For the consideration of the people in the world, you should stop being obsessed with obsession."

Zhu Yunwen tightly grasped the Buddhist beads with his right hand, and the Buddhist beads made his palm very painful, but he didn't care.

"Yuanjing, why don't you take a look first."

"Look at what?"

"Look at how your fourth uncle manages the world." The abbot said softly, "If he treats the people badly, then you will make a comeback. If he can make the people live a better life, then let go of your obsession."

Zhu Yunwen raised his eyes to look at the abbot, and then said: "Okay, let me see if fourth uncle can do better than me." If fourth uncle can do better than him, he will be willing to give up.If the fourth uncle can't let the people live a good life, then he will definitely make a comeback and regain the throne.

Hearing what Zhu Yunqi said, the abbot breathed a sigh of relief.

"Amitabha."

After talking to the abbot for a while, Zhu Yunxuan's heart calmed down a little.

"Abbot, what do you want to see me for?"

"Your fourth uncle will return to Fengyang to worship the ancestors next month, and he will come to Huangjue Temple to offer incense."

When Zhu Yunwen heard this, his heart tightened, and then he said in a flat tone: "Don't worry, Abbot, I will never leave the Buddhist hall."

Seeing that Zhu Yunqi understood what he meant, the abbot didn't say anything about it.

"Yuanjing, let me chant sutras with you."

"Yes."

The abbot recited the "Diamond Sutra" with Zhu Yunqi.

Zhu Yunqi's heart became more and more calm, and the anger and unwillingness in his heart disappeared.

Zhu Di wanted to go back to Fengyang to worship his ancestors, of course he had to inform Fengyang in advance so that the officials in Fengyang could prepare in advance.

This time back to Fengyang to worship the ancestors, the civil and military officials will naturally follow.

Empress Xu and Zhang Mingzhen also followed.

In the past two days, Empress Xu was busy packing her luggage.As for the things for ancestor worship, she doesn't need to prepare them, the Ministry of Rites will prepare them.

There is a royal courtyard in Fengyang, but she hasn't gone back for a long time. Empress Xu was worried that she didn't have many things, so she prepared some clothes and so on.

She and Zhu Di didn't care if the place they lived in was fine or not, but she was worried that her precious grandson would not be used to it.

In the past few days, Zhu Zhanji studied with Yang Shiqi in the morning and learned martial arts with Zhang Yu and the others in the afternoon.

His accompanying reading was also scheduled two days ago.Xu Huizu didn't want his grandson to be Zhu Zhanji's companion, and Empress Xu didn't force it either.Regarding the stubbornness of her second brother, Empress Xu was also helpless.Xu Zengshou's youngest son is very willing to be Zhu Zhanji's companion.The grandsons of Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng are too young to be Zhu Zhanji's companion for the time being.

Zhang Yu and the others asked their youngest son to be Zhu Zhanji's personal bodyguard.They are a few years older than Zhu Zhanji, and it is most suitable to be Zhu Zhanji's bodyguards.

When the generals saw that Zhu Di asked Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng's youngest son to be Zhu Zhanji's bodyguard, they couldn't help thinking.They guessed in their hearts that His Majesty not only chose the prince, but also the grandson of the emperor.

The generals who were originally drawn by Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help being shaken when they saw this.

Zhu Zhanji and Zhang Yu studied martial arts very seriously.In the past few days, he has been practicing squatting horse stance, squatting profusely with sweat and trembling all over without complaining, he gritted his teeth and persisted.

When Zhu Di went to visit the training ground, he felt very distressed about his precious grandson.Several times he wanted to interrupt and not let Zhu Zhanji practice, but seeing the resolute face of his precious grandson, he had no choice but to swallow the dissuading words that came to his lips.

Every time after squatting, Zhu Zhanji felt that his hands were not hands, his legs were not legs, and he couldn't walk back to Kunning Palace by his own strength.

Zhu Di waited for Zhu Zhanji to finish his horse stance practice, and carried his precious grandson back to Kunning Palace in person.

Zhu Zhanji was lying on his grandfather's broad back, with a pair of small arms around Zhu Di's neck, and his small face was buried in his grandfather's neck.

"If you can't bear it, don't practice."

"How can I do that? I won't give up." Zhu Zhanji insisted, "Although I'm tired now, I won't feel tired after a while when I get used to it."

"That's why you want to learn martial arts?"

"I really want to." Zhu Zhanji stretched out his hand and pinched Zhu Di's ear, "Grandpa Emperor, I know you love me, but you can't stop me from practicing just because you love me. The Merciful Lord is a failure."

Zhu Di was amused by Zhu Zhanji's phrase, "The Merciful Lord often defeats his grandsons": "Is it wrong that the emperor loves you so much?"

"That's right, but Grandpa Huang, you can't stop me from learning martial arts." Zhu Zhanji lay on his grandfather's shoulder, "Grandpa Huang, if you love me, please squeeze my hands and legs."

"You're still using your grandpa."

"Grandpa Huang, don't you feel sorry for me, so I'll pinch and press."

Zhu Di raised his hand and patted Zhu Zhanji's little butt lightly, and said with a loving smile, "Okay, Grandpa Huang will press it for you."

Heck, Zhu Zhanji kissed Zhu Di's face hard, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Huang is the best."

"Little sycophants."

"Grandpa Huang is wrong, I am Xiaolong's fart."

"You..." Zhu Di smiled helplessly and dotingly.

Seeing that Zhu Di carried Zhu Zhanji back again, Empress Xu quickly hugged her precious grandson from his back.

"Grandmother, my hands hurt, my legs hurt."

"Grandmother rubbed it for you." Empress Xu put Zhu Zhanji on the couch, took the medicine bottle from Bai Hua, and massaged his precious grandson while applying the medicine.

Zhu Zhanji grinned in pain: "Hiss..."

Zhu Di felt distressed when he heard it from the side: "Queen, take it easy."

"Tapping has no effect."

"hiss……"

Zhu Di couldn't stand it anymore: "Queen, let me come."

Empress Xu was pushed aside by Zhu Di, she raised her hand and lightly beat Zhu Di's back, and said funny and angrily, "Your heart hurts."

Zhu Di ignored Empress Xu and massaged Zhu Zhanji gently.

Zhu Zhanji was afraid that his grandfather would be distressed, so he pursed his lips tightly and didn't draw any more air.

After applying the medicine, Zhu Zhanji massaged for a while, and Zhu Zhanji felt much more comfortable, not as sore as before.However, the hands are still shaking a bit.

At dinner, Zhu Di fed him himself.

Seeing this, Empress Xu sighed in her heart. Fortunately, Zhanji was not a child who was spoiled and arrogant, otherwise, with the degree of His Majesty's favor, Zhanji would have been spoiled as a spoiled child.

"Grandfather, are we going to leave for Fengyang in a few days?"

"Depart for Fengyang in five days, and we will arrive in Fengyang at the beginning of next month."

"That's great." Zhu Zhanji has been looking forward to going to Fengyang all this time, "Grandfather, how many days are we going to stay in Fengyang?"

"Stay for half a month, then Grandpa Huang will take you to visit other places."

When Zhu Zhanji heard this, his dark eyes immediately became bright: "Grandpa Huang, are you going to visit privately?"

"You still know about Weibo private visits?"

"Of course I know." Grandpa Huang looked down upon him again.

"That's right. Grandpa Huang wants to see the lives of the common people."

"Then I'll go with you, Grandpa Huang, and I'll make a note of it when the time comes." Great-grandfather and great-grandfather asked him to visit the folks more, so that he could understand the sufferings of the people.

Five days later, Zhu Di led all civil and military officials to Fengyang to worship the ancestors.
