Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 2 Yao Guangxiao

Just who is this monk Daoyan can make Chen Yunfu lose his mind in astonishment just by hearing his name.

It was because Yao Guangxiao was indeed a strange person in the early Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Laosi was the number one hero in the rebellion, a master of dragon slaying techniques, chief editor of Yongle Canon, and retired as a prince after his success.

After his death, he was still posthumously named Gongjing, and entered the Daming Ancestral Temple as a civil servant. He was the No. 1 of the Ming Dynasty.

There is no need to introduce too much about Yao Guangxiao. Even people who are relatively unfamiliar with Ming history will be more or less familiar with this name. Who made this black-clothed monk already tied to Emperor Yongle.

Such a master actually came to Tianjie Temple?

Chen Yunfu really couldn't think of any connection between Yao Guangxiao and Tianjie Temple. Although he knew Ming history, it was not as good as knowing the detailed life history of every celebrity before they made a fortune and did great things.

The only thing we know is that Yao Guangxiao is Zhu Laosi's chief aide.

"He's not staying in Beijing to advise Mr. Zhu, what to do in Nanjing."

These days Beijing should be called Shuntianfu Beiping City, Chen Yunfu is a latecomer, so he naturally thinks so.

With doubts, Chen Yunfu followed Qingchi through the corridors and courtyards and moved towards the Vajra Palace.

The Tianjie Temple is so huge that it has exceeded people's understanding of ordinary temples.

If the two walked from the backyard to the front yard, the Zhongshan Pavilion they had to pass in the middle had more than [-] houses with two corridors in the east and west and a huge fruit tree garden.

Relying on the memory in his mind, Chen Yunfu knew what the so-called Zhongshan Pavilion was.

It was the 'Diplomatic Embassy District' at this time in the Ming Dynasty.

There are signs outside each house in the Zhongshan Pavilion, and the signs are the names of different countries.

The mighty Ming Dynasty was dominated by dragons and tigers, and there was an endless stream of envoys from foreign vassal states every year. After these people came to Nanjing, they would be led by the officials of the Ministry of Rites to the Tianjie Temple to learn the etiquette and some basic Chinese during court meetings. During this period, they will be forced to live in the Tianjie Temple.

Zhu Yuanzhang's temper is not good, and he can't talk about tolerance to foreign barbarians. When he was still in the separatist regime of King Wu, he slaughtered 10,000+ people from all over the world during the period of attacking Fujian and Guangdong. It is no worse than Kublai Khan Let more.

The reputation of killing is prosperous, and the power shakes the west and east.

While passing the Zhongshan Pavilion, Chen Yunfu saw a familiar country name.

Timur Khanate.

It seems that at this time, the lame wolf is also muttering to Lao Zhu.

Walking through the embassy area, you will arrive at the core hall area of ​​Tianjie Temple. The Vajra Hall sits here, and it is magnificent. At this moment, there are already countless monks gathered. Chen Yunfu can see that there are quite a few people walking around outside the hall. People in the palace.

There are eunuchs in the imperial department, and there are also imperial troops from the pro-army Duwei's mansion.

The former is the eunuch, and the latter is the predecessor of Jin Yiwei.

The pro-army Duwei's Mansion is in charge of the Forbidden Army in the palace, and there is also a Yiluan Division in charge of the emperor's patrols. The combination of the two became Jinyiwei.

Lao Zhu has a special liking for Tianjie Temple, and basically visits the temple once a month, so there is simply a security team here to be responsible for the reception.

Therefore, Tianjie Temple is not only like a traditional temple, but also has some official atmosphere of the yamen.

Who made the small hall with a corridor next to the Vajra Hall hang a plaque of the Senglusi.

The Senglu Department belongs to the Ministry of Rites and is in charge of the temples all over the world. It is responsible for the approval, issuance and management of monks' monk discs.

It is a veritable institution directly under the central ministries and commissions.

There are many famous paintings and poem plaques hanging outside the Vajra Palace. What Chen Yunfu saw when he entered the door was a poem "Residing in Tianjie Temple" by Gao Qi, the editor of the former Hanlin national history.

"The rain is over the head of the imperial city, and the fragrance is condensed in the Buddhist world. The spring breastbirds in the orchard, and the doves singing in the flower hall at noon. All the shoes are gathered with the bell, and the thousands of lights are streamed into the mirror. Zen dwellings allow the traces of travel, and you don't feel that you will stay for a long time."

It can be said that after seeing it now, to sum up, Tianjie Temple is named the first temple in the world. This Buddhist teaching has not been seen much, but it is very official, poetic, and elegant.

After entering the Vajra Hall, Chen Yunfu immediately saw the master of his own body, Master Zong Yuan who gave him the name Daoming.

By the way, I also saw a different kind of monk who was the only one among the hundreds of eminent monks in the hall, who was out of place in black robes.

No need to ask.

This person should be Yao Guangxiao, the so-called prime minister in black in later generations.

The dharma name is Daoyan.

Well, the same generation as Chen Yunfu.

Thinking of this seniority relationship, Chen Yunfu was overjoyed.

This is senior brother, so how close you are, you'd better be able to recognize him as a good big brother.

With this thick leg in his arms, he will be able to live the Yongle Dynasty smoothly.

Qing Chi greeted Zong Yuan with a ceremony.

"Master, everything is here."

Zong Yuan nodded, and when he waved his hand, a little novice rang the bell. The sound of the bell was grand and heavy, which played the role of controlling the field and calming the mind. Chen Yunfu also temporarily suppressed all the messy thoughts in his heart, stood in the queue, and found his own place Be quiet.

In the entire hall, only Zong Yuan's voice remained.

"Daoyan has traveled the world for [-] years, and he has mastered the three teachings. Now he returns from his tour, and he still hopes to expand my Buddhism."

While talking, Zong Yuan folded his hands together and gave Yao Guangxiao a shallow salute.

The latter did not dare to be respectful, and bowed in return, saying that the elder's words were serious.

After the salute, he saluted all the monks in the hall again.

Chen Yunfu also followed the big guy to return the salute, but he looked at Yao Guangxiao curiously.

He bared his teeth for a while.

This Yao Guangxiao doesn't look like a good person.

Isn't it, a hairless head with double triangular eyes, like a tiger, if not for a monk's robe, with a ring on his forehead, he would look more like a fierce underworld gold medalist.

And between the eyes, occasionally there is a fierce air.

Chen Yunfu reckoned that in this world, Yao Guangxiao has been able to travel around the world for 17 years, and he probably played tricks of both Buddha and fire.

In other words, the hands are probably stained with a lot of blood and hideous.

is a cruel man.

While Chen Yunfu was secretly looking at Yao Guangxiao, the latter also keenly noticed Chen Yunfu's gaze, but he didn't respond, and continued to recite Buddhist scriptures and Zen principles with great concentration, making all the hundreds of monks in the hall listen fascinated.

This is a real skill.

The recitation lasted for nearly an hour before it ended, and then everyone in the hall woke up from a dream, and bowed to Dao Yan one after another, saying that they had benefited a lot.

Even Master Zong Yuan was amazed.

Daoyan's lectures can be said to be penetrating, and he has been taught. '

Yao Guangxiao didn't dare to take it lightly, and when he bowed to him, he looked sideways at Chen Yunfu's direction and smiled slightly.

"Elder, who is that little friend?"

Zong Yuan looked at it and laughed.

"This is the young disciple of the old monk, whose dharma name is Daoming."

"The name of the law?"

Chen Yunfu is from the Taoist generation, his full name is Daoming, isn't it just a single name and a Ming character?

This is Zhu Yuanzhang's preference, otherwise, how could he bestow this word under the taboo.

There was a smile on the corner of Yao Guangxiao's mouth, and he was aware of it clearly during the process of reciting the Dharma just now.

This little junior brother named Daoming sized him up and down thirty times.

This also attracted Yao Guangxiao's attention and interest.

"Elder, this little monk seems to have a predestined relationship with Junior Brother Daoming. I don't know during the temporary stay."

Zong Yuan understood immediately, nodded and said with a smile.

"Then how about wronging Daoyan and temporarily staying with Daoming?"

As the two chatted, they found Yao Guangxiao a place to live, but Chen Yunfu blinked.

What's the matter, I have become roommates with Yao Guangxiao?
Really doze off and come to the pillow!
