Chapter thirteen: Ming's political outlet

"Do you want to return to secular life?"

In Tianjie Temple, Master Zongyuan once again saw his youngest disciple, whose dharma name was Daoming.

"Yes, the master's kindness in raising his disciple will never be forgotten in this life."

Chen Yunfu knelt straight, looked at Zong Yuan and kowtowed three times sincerely.

Also here is a monk in black like Yao Guangxiao.

Yao Guangxiao didn't say anything, and the expression on his face didn't change at all, as if everything had been expected.

In fact, Yao Guangxiao had already understood it since that day when we said goodbye at Qianqingmen.

My junior brother Daoming is not just a child, he is very smart.

"Everyone has his own ambitions and cannot be forced to do so. Since you are determined to return to secular life, I will allow you to do so."

"Thank you, mentor."

Zong Yuan sighed and then stood up, stroking Chen Yunfu's stubbled head with his hand, and said: "You have never had a name. Today, I will give you a name as my teacher. You have great ambitions and great ambitions." Cheng Wanli’s ambition is named Yun, with the character Jun as the abbreviation for a female and the character Fu for a male, let’s call him Yun Fu.”

Chen Yunfu blinked. He never expected such a coincidence. He thought he wanted to change his name.

Master Zongyuan has given me life-saving grace and nurturing grace. He can be called a reborn parent. If he really wants to change his name, it is only natural and he cannot have any objections.

I just didn't expect that everything in the world is written by coincidence. After many changes, Zong Yuan still named himself Chen Yunfu.

"Disciple, I thank my mentor for giving me my name."

Chen Yunfu kowtowed again and then stood up. He no longer performed Buddhist rituals but bowed and said: "My disciple has returned to secular life. I will never forget the teachings of my teacher in my life. I will definitely remember that monks have compassion and be a good person for the country in the future." People who are useful to the people.”

"That's good." Zong Yuan nodded with great comfort, and then asked verbally: "Then you have returned to secular life. I'm afraid you won't be able to live in the palace anymore. Do you have any financial problems?"

"Your Majesty gave me some."

Chen Yunfu cupped his hands in the direction of the palace and said, "I will reward you with a house."

The emperor gave Chen Yunfu a house?

Yao Guangxiao finally moved in a rare move, with a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

Who is Zhu Yuanzhang? To put it mildly, he is a bit stingy.

When the kings returned to Beijing from a funeral, they said that the frontier fortress was bitterly cold, but Zhu Yuanzhang only gave a few princes guarding the border a hundred coins of treasure and a little silk.

It can be said that he is very stingy.

Now, Chen Yunfu was actually given a house in Jinling City, where every inch of land is precious?

What kind of holy family is this motherfucker?

Queen Ma!

It can only be because of Queen Ma!

Chen Yunfu recited sutras for Queen Ma in the Jingxin Hall for half a year, and Zhu Yuanzhang gave the former a house in return.

This is Aiwujiwu.

"That's good, then I can rest assured as a teacher."

Zong Yuan didn't think as much as Yao Guangxiao. Knowing that Chen Yunfu had a place to live, he just left after a few words of warning, leaving Chen Yunfu and Yao Guangxiao alone.

"Congratulations, junior brother."

Yao Guangxiao laughed, clasped his hands in front of his chest and sang Amitabha: "Junior brother can enter the Sacred Heart at a young age, and his future will be limitless. This poor monk feels sincerely happy for junior brother, how good it is."

"Senior brother, you are serious." Chen Yunfu just pretended that he did not understand, and pretended to be confused and said: "Your Majesty taught me to study more so that I can be useful to the country."

Yao Guangxiao's eyes were very deep and he said: "Junior brother, although you are young, you are smart and sharp. Senior brother is very worried that you will go astray."

A simple translation of this sentence is: ‘The world outside the temple is very deep, and you are still young and cannot grasp it’.

There was a smile on Chen Yunfu's lips.

What's going on, are you planning to change your name to Yao Changjiang?

“Senior brother’s advice must be kept in mind.”

Yao Guangxiao also knew that what he said was enough for Chen Yunfu to listen, so he said no more at the moment. He was about to turn around and leave, but then he stopped and said something sideways.

"I'm going to meet someone tonight, poor monk. Do you want to go with me?"

"Who do you want to see, senior brother?"

When he said this, Chen Yunfu already had a guess in his mind, but he still asked.

"You'll know it when you see it."

"good."

After watching Yao Guangxiao leave, Chen Yunfu returned to his room and started packing his luggage. He didn't have many things in Tianjie Temple. Although he had lived there for many years, he really didn't have many personal belongings.

As a monk, he doesn't store gold or silver. At most, he only has some wooden handicrafts and some Buddhist ritual implements.

It's all easy to clean up.

When Chen Yunfu stepped out, he met his junior nephew Qingchi.

Whether it was before or after time travel, Chen Yunfu and Qingchi had a pretty good relationship, and they had built up a relationship over six or seven years.

"Uncle Master."

Seeing Chen Yunfu coming out, Qingchi took a step forward with a hint of reluctance in his tone: "Are you going to return to secular life?"

"Yes, I have returned to secular life." Chen Yunfu smiled at Qingchi: "So you don't need to call me uncle from now on, just call me Yunfu."

Qingchi said: "Why must uncle Shi return to secular life? Isn't it bad in the temple?"

"Of course it's good inside the temple." Chen Yunfu looked around and said with emotion: "Our Tianjie Temple is the holy land of Buddhism in the world, and it is also a rare piece of pure land under the sky. Here, you don't have to worry about eating or drinking, and you only need to chant sutras every day.

By worshiping the Buddha, you can transcend things and not suffer from the suffering of the mortal world. It can be said to be the best place in the world."

"Then why does Uncle Master still want to return to secular life?"

"Because there should not be only one pure land in the world, Tianjie Temple."

Chen Yunfu smiled and said: "We stay in this temple and act as experts outside the world. How can we know how much suffering there is in the world? Only by avoiding the world and practicing falsehood and rescuing suffering can we become a true Bodhisattva."

Qingchi, you are also literate in reading. Do you know that just by being literate, you have surpassed tens of millions of sentient beings in the world? Don't waste yourself on the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng. If you step out, you can also save suffering."

After half a year in the palace, Chen Yunfu didn't feel anything else, except for one thing.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty is at its peak!

There is a saying in later generations: Wherever the wind blows, pigs can reach the sky.

This is what the Ming Dynasty is today.

It is the best opportunity to display your ambitions in life.

Because the country is so poor and has nothing but illiteracy!

Zeng Tai, the Minister of Household Affairs of the Ming Dynasty, was just a mere scholar half a year ago!

Chen Yunfu didn't know how he could know a young scholar with Zhu Yuanzhang's identity, but the reality was so mysterious and magical. Zeng Taisu's reputation as a virtuous person reached Jinling, and word of it reached Zhu Yuanzhang's ears.

Zhu Yuanzhang summoned Zeng Tai to answer questions, then turned around and issued an edict.

Zeng Tai suddenly changed his identity and directly became the Minister of Household Affairs of the second grade, and became the Minister of Finance of the Ming Dynasty!

It's simply outrageous.

The most competitive person, Guo Huan, the left minister of the household department, failed to improve.

Zeng Tai was an important reason for Chen Yunfu to make up his mind to pursue progress.

In today's context, it is not easy to get ahead.

He kept the spirit of Empress Ma for half a year, which had a special impression on Zhu Yuanzhang.

If you don't take the initiative to grasp this, then you will really have wasted more than ten years of experience in your previous life.
