Chapter 11: The Butterfly Effect

Everything in the palace is extremely new to Chen Yunfu.

In his two lives, Chen Yunfu had never entered the imperial palace. Even in his previous life, he had never had the opportunity to visit the Forbidden City.

The imperial palaces of later generations served more as a cultural symbol in China's splendid civilization, and had no actual value worthy of people's yearning.

But this is obviously not the case in this time and space.

The imperial palace is the sole core of China's central power and the central nerve of all fields of a country, including politics, economy, culture, and religion.

Policies, laws, and war orders that can affect the fate of the world and even the countries surrounding the Ming Dynasty all come from here.

They all come from the mouth of the man named Zhu Yuanzhang.

Empress Xiaoci of the Ming Dynasty was buried in the Xiaoling Mausoleum, and the overwhelming filial piety in the palace was also removed, and everything returned to its original state.

Just like the edict that Zhu Yuanzhang just issued.

"It has been ten and fifteen days since the collapse. Although the mourning is endless, the world's affairs are so serious that we dare not stay away for a long time."

No matter how uncomfortable he felt, it was time for Zhu Yuanzhang to put his mind in order and put the world in order.

Yunnan has not yet been pacified, and Fu Youde and Mu Ying are still fighting in Yunnan. He does not have much time to remember his late wife.

Naturally, it is impossible to have time to remember a young monk like Chen Yunfu.

The Jinling Imperial Palace, which covers an area of ​​nearly 1.1 million square meters, has a little person like Chen Yunfu in it, just like a shrimp in the vast ocean, and no one will notice it.

Chen Yunfu moved into his new home honestly and comfortably.

Jingxin Hall.

"The Imperial Palace is more comfortable than Tianjie Temple."

After Meimei woke up from sleep, Chen Yunfu opened his eyes and could see several maids serving in the room. These maids were all the maids who served Queen Ma during his lifetime, and were now left to him by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Baoxiang said that if he, Chen Yunfu, had not come, the fate of these palace ladies would have been to be buried alive.

In the entire palace, all memories about Queen Ma will be sealed away by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Whether it’s objects or people!

"Little Master, you're awake."

The palace maid Ling'er brought the face wash and prepared to change Chen Yunfu's clothes in a serious manner, which scared Chen Yunfu and waved his hands hurriedly.

"No, I can do it myself."

After all, the monk is not a eunuch. The monk just doesn't want to get close to women, but it doesn't mean he can't get close to women.

This is two different things from being a eunuch.

Chen Yunfu knew very well that he only stayed in the palace to recite sutras for Queen Ma, and he did not come to enjoy the blessings of being a dandy.

If he really dares to feel comfortable and enjoy the service of the palace maid with peace of mind, he will probably be dragged by Comrade Lao Zhu to light the sky lanterns.

Chen Yunfu felt a need to urinate because it hurt just thinking about it.

So, it's better to be honest.

"Except for delivering meals, you are not allowed to enter this Jingxin Hall anymore."

Chen Yunfu said to Ling'er and the other maids very seriously: "The young monk is going to chant sutras for the queen's fairy spirit. If you are so arrogant and offend the queen's fairy spirit, the little monk will punish you."

Ling'er and several other palace maids were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged the master for mercy.

Chen Yunfu didn't want to scare people with a bad look, but he had no choice but to continue scolding him with a bad face.

"Including the matter of fetching water and washing up, the monk will do it on his own from now on. You won't need to do it. Remember it all?"

"yes."

"Okay, let's go out."

Chen Yunfu waved his hand to drive away several maids in the house, then got up and quickly dressed up, washed himself, found a Buddhist scripture, and walked into the main courtyard ancestral hall.

There is a four-armed Guanyin Buddha statue enshrined here.

The four-armed Avalokitesvara Buddha is also known as the True Dharma Ming Tathagata, which is the great benevolent and compassionate Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva that everyone often talks about.

Kindness and compassion are the Buddhist principles of the Four-Armed Guanyin Buddha, and they are also the noble moral qualities that Empress Ma always adhered to during her lifetime.

"What's the point of letting Niga leave for now..."

The awkward and awkward Four-Armed Avalokitesvara Buddha practice was recited from Chen Yunfu's mouth. In an instant, only the sound of the scriptures was left in the entire ancestral hall, and all distracting thoughts were swept away.

Outside the ancestral hall, a man stood.

This man is none other than Prince Zhu Biao.

There is a court meeting today to discuss military affairs in the southwest. If Zhu Biao did not attend the court meeting, how could he come to this Jingxin Hall?

Behind Zhu Biao stood an old acquaintance of Chen Yunfu, the eunuch named Baoxiang.

"How come there are still people chanting sutras in the ancestral hall where my mother was alive?"

"Your Highness, I am a young monk named Daoming." Baoxiang replied truthfully: "This monk Daoming asked the emperor for a favor and promised to chant sutras for the queen for the rest of her life."

"Recite sutras for a lifetime?" Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed: "You are really interested."

After saying that, he turned around and said again.

"Then let him study scriptures here for the rest of his life. Let's go to court."

Baoxiang stopped him.

"Prince, your Majesty has made it clear that you are not allowed to attend any court meetings for the rest of this year, nor are you allowed to sit in the East Pavilion."

Zhu Biao raised his feet and hung in the air, frowning dissatisfied.

"Father, what do you mean?"

"I don't know, this servant is just conveying the original words of the emperor. The emperor also said that you can do whatever you want, but you are not allowed to leave Jinling and do not handle government affairs. The emperor also said that you must go there every ten days.

Too hospital for once.”

"Nonsense!"

Zhu Biao raised his eyebrows and said with some annoyance: "I am in my prime years. Previously, I was just grieving too much and my blood attacked my heart. Why can I neglect political affairs because of my occasional illness? My father will never do it next time."

Order."

"I am so brave that I would not dare to lie to Your Highness."

Baoxiang quickly proved his innocence and said: "This matter is undoubtedly true."

"I will go find my father right now to see if it is true."

Zhu Biao didn't believe himself and walked away. Na Baoxiang stamped his feet anxiously, glanced at the sutra hall where Chen Yunfu was, and hurriedly turned around to follow Zhu Biao.

Not long after the two people left, the sound of the scriptures suddenly stopped, and Chen Yunfu opened the door and walked out.

What the two of them said in the yard just now reached Chen Yunfu's ears, word for word.

Even Chen Yunfu himself did not expect that his casual and bold words would actually push Zhu Yuanzhang to issue a restraint order to Zhu Biao!

Even the regular experience has been sorted out.

I don't know if it's good or bad.

If Zhu Laosi knew about it, would he be so angry that he would kill himself?

"who cares."

Chen Yunfu muttered, "Who would choose Zhu Di if he could hold Zhu Yuanzhang's thigh?"

It would not necessarily be a good thing if Zhu Biao could live a few more years.

Besides, considering the deep mother-son love between Zhu Biao and Empress Ma, I have now chanted sutras for Empress Ma for the rest of my life, which can be said to have left a good impression on Zhu Biao.

The two legs of the emperor and the prince are not much more comfortable to hold than the lame prince Zhu Laosi.

Unless history is irreversible.

"Let's take a step and see."
