The spring breeze blew through the courtyard of Jiming Temple, and also blew through the heart of the old emperor, causing slight waves.

"Little master, is it really not allowed to bring my concubine in?"

The old emperor's face was a little gloomy. When the concubine on the side saw the emperor's look, she knew that the emperor was really angry and hurriedly advised: "Your Majesty, I will go to the main hall to pray for blessings first. You go to see Master Daoyan first."

After saying that, without waiting for the emperor to react, the imperial concubine broke away from the emperor's hand, covered her face, and walked directly outside.

When the old emperor saw his beloved woman leaving sadly, he wanted to chase her, but was interrupted by a voice, "Wait a minute."

After hearing the voice, the young novice turned around quickly and said to the room: "Master Daoyan."

"Um."

As the sound rang out, the door of the room was opened from the inside. Yao Daoyan, wearing a black monk's robe and holding a twirl of Buddhist beads, walked out of the room.

"I have met His Majesty."

Yao Daoyan looked calm. Facing the angry emperor, he remained calm and calm, as if he was not the one who just refused to let the imperial concubine enter the room.

Even though he was a little angry and Long Yan was furious, the emperor still respected his mentor, "Teacher."

Yao Daoyan nodded and waved his hand to ask the young novice to step back. There were some words that outsiders were not allowed to hear.

"Your Majesty, do you want to take a walk or come to this room?"

Yao Daoyan pointed to the room behind him, and then pointed to the courtyard in the distance where there was still some spring. The pear tree in the courtyard had green buds sprouting from its branches and leaves.

"Let's take a walk."

The emperor was wearing casual clothes today. He looked like a wealthy man. He was walking in Jiming Temple. Some young monks who had just entered the temple and had not seen the emperor's true face were a little curious.

What is the identity of the old man who was accompanied by Master Daoyan personally?

"Your Majesty, don't you blame the old monk for acting like that today?"

Yao Daoyan looked at the emperor who was walking half a step in front of him and asked calmly.

When the emperor heard this, he stopped, put his hands behind his back, squinted his eyes, and looked at the mentor who had been teaching him knowledge since his enlightenment, and suddenly felt a little strange.

"Why do you ask this, sir?"

The emperor did not answer Yao Daoyan's question, but raised his own question. The emperor did not like the initiative in the hands of others, even his mentor.

Yao Daoyan, who knew His Majesty's character well, smiled slightly and turned the beads in his hand faster. "When that woman entered the harem, she was faced with many difficulties. Your Majesty once came to the old monk and asked him if there was anything he could do."

Yao Daoyan took the beads in front of him, sat on the railing beside him, and continued: "Your Majesty, you still remember how the old monk answered."

The emperor was silent for a moment and said: "At that time, Mr. Wang said, let nature take its course and wait and see what happens."

After receiving the answer, Yao Daoyan's smile became even brighter, "Your Majesty's memory is really good, and he can still remember such small things. Then the old monk would like to ask Your Majesty, what was the final result?"

How is the result?

Do you still need to ask? Now that Yuhuan lives in Yuhua Palace, the answer is naturally. But the emperor, who is the oldest monk's student, knows that Yao Daoyan naturally has his reason for asking him this way.

Suddenly, the emperor remembered something. When Yuhuan entered the palace, his mother was still alive. As his original wife, Queen Xia was deposed by him, and the position of the master of the harem was vacant.

It has been hanging for a long time, and the jade ring has been in Miaoyu Temple for a long time, but I still can't insert the jade ring into the palace.

He had the idea of ​​making Yuhuan the queen, but he had just finished talking to his mother, and she didn't know that the queen immediately cursed, saying that the woman was a beauty, a vixen, and the royal family of the Ming Dynasty would never allow such a woman to enter the palace.

This caused the relationship between the emperor and the queen mother to be tense for a while. For a while, the imperial study room was filled with reports about the appointment of the queen. Most of them were against it, and only Yang Zhao was in favor.

Later, the emperor had no choice but to come to his mentor and ask Yao Daoyan if he had any solution, but Yao Daoyan only gave these eight words.

"Let nature take its course and wait and see what happens."

As for the rest, the old monk did nothing. Even the Queen Mother privately asked someone to ask what the old monk had told the emperor and how to deal with it.

The old monk sent the Queen Mother away with just one sentence.

"You are a person who is about to die, and you still care about what to do after death. Could it be that you want to completely separate from your son before you die, so that in the end you don't even have the chance to accompany him to the Ancestral Temple, or you don't even want to enter the imperial mausoleum?

go."

The angry Queen Mother directly smashed all the valuable calligraphy, paintings and antiques in her room to vent her anger.

As the patriarch of the three dynasties whom Taizu left to his son, Yao Daoyan, the Queen Mother had to respect him regardless of respect. Even such almost insulting words would not help her.

In the end, the Queen Mother was a little helpless and went directly to Qintian Prison, which was still in charge of Yuan Tiangang at that time, to inquire about the fate of the country and the fate of the woman.

It's just a pity that when Yuan Shouzuo met the Queen Mother at that time, he only said, "I think the fate of the Queen Mother is very small. The Queen Mother should think about her own funeral first."

The angry Queen Mother left the Qintian Prison directly. But as a son, the Emperor, who had always been filial to his mother, knew the news at some point. He no longer cared about being angry with his mother and went directly to the Queen Mother's palace to accompany her.

, and ordered people to look for Yuan Shouzong. Unfortunately, since then, Yuan Shouzong has also disappeared, and the Qintian Prison has now passed into the hands of Yuan Shouzhong's disciples.

The emperor had no choice but to come to see his mentor, Yao Daoyan. Yao Daoyan simply closed the door and said that he wanted to study the scriptures. Within a hundred days, no guests were seen, even the emperor, and there was no urgent matter.

From then on, the emperor understood why his mentor gave him those eight words.

Returning to the palace, he accompanied his mother on her last journey. No one in the palace could stop her from welcoming Yuhuan into the palace. As for those ministers, as long as they were not appointed queens, they would turn a blind eye.

Let the woman enter the palace.

"Of course it's good, Yuhuan enters the palace."

The old monk nodded, stood up from the railing, and continued walking forward. Although the emperor couldn't figure out what his mentor was going to do, he could only follow behind him.

The two walked through the backyard and came directly to the main hall of Jiming Temple. The Buddha statues were shining with golden light and lifelike.

Although Jiming Temple was built by the emperor's decree, and the people who come and go on weekdays are all nobles or ladies, there are still some villagers around.

What's more, some nobles crawled out from the pile of dead people and did not believe in these Buddhas at all. They believed more in the knife in their hands.

In this way, apart from those family members and villagers, Jiming Temple will

No one comes again.

When we came to Jiming Temple today, the emperor did not make any fanfare, but only paid a private visit incognito. Therefore, there were only a few people kneeling to worship the Buddha statue in the main hall.

Yao Daoyan held the Buddhist beads in his right hand, pointed at a lady who was kneeling on the ground in front of him, and asked the wealthy emperor beside him:

"Does Your Majesty think this lady's kneeling is of any use?"

The old emperor put his hands behind his back, and an aura emanated from the old emperor, "Of course not."

Yao Daoyan smiled slightly and said, "Then can your Majesty tell the old monk whether this lady knows that it is useless to kneel down like this."

The emperor frowned slightly. He didn't know what the lady was thinking, "I don't know."

When Yao Daoyan heard the emperor's answer, he shook his head, obviously dissatisfied with the emperor's answer.

"Your Majesty, if you don't even know what your people are thinking, then where will the future of Ming Dynasty go?"

The emperor's hands were no longer behind his back, but stood on both sides of his body. Yao Daoyan continued: "Your Majesty came to Jiming Temple for two reasons. One is that your Majesty missed the old minister and wanted to know how he was doing. More straightforwardly.

Bai Dian said, Your Majesty wants me to die in front of you."

As soon as these words came out, even a man as rich as the emperor breathed heavily, looked gloomy, and gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, my teacher really understands me."

Yao Daoyan was right. The emperor really came to inquire about Yao Daoyan's physical condition during this trip because he wanted Yao Daoyan to die.

Why?

The emperor had been a student and husband of Yao Daoyan for many years. He knew very well how terrifying this "emperor master" left to him by his grandfather was. The emperor also knew how miserable his three sons were.

It was fine when he was in power, but if he went west, neither the "Emperor Master" nor his three sons could control the "Emperor Master".

When Yao Daoyan heard that the emperor admitted what he said, he was not angry. Instead, he smiled happily and waved to the two monks standing at the door.

The two monks at the door wisely drove away everyone in the hall and closed the door of the hall. In this hall, there were only this pair of master and disciple, this pair of monarch and minister.

"Secondly, Your Majesty wants to ask who the old monk has chosen as his successor."

The emperor, who was told what he was thinking one after another, looked so gloomy that he could shed tears. He remained silent and said nothing. But Yao Daoyan continued as if he had not seen the emperor's expression: "Mr. has treated your majesty harshly and harshly for many years.

Harsh, even when His Majesty did things that satisfied Sir, Sir never said a single word to praise His Majesty."

The emperor stood there at this time. The emperor seemed to be no longer a king, but more like a student listening to his husband's teachings.

"Your Majesty, in fact, when the three princes were vying for the position of crown prince some time ago, they all came to see you. Unfortunately, you closed the door and refused to mediate with them, leaving them to earn and rob them by themselves."

"I thought that after the three princes competed for the crown prince, Your Majesty would issue an order to kill the two losers, but it is a pity that Your Majesty did not."

"Sir, you are both pleased and disappointed. As a father, Your Majesty cannot bear to kill his own son, which is excellent. But as a king, Your Majesty is not ruthless enough."
