[Introduction: Yao Guangxiao, whose childhood name was Tianxi, whose courtesy name was Si Dao, whose legal name was Daoyan, who was also known as Old Man Fuxu, also known as Old Man Du'an and Lazy Ge Weng. Cheung Chau people. A politician, eminent monk, and writer in the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties, he was the main planner of the Jingnan Campaign.

Yao Guangxiao became a monk in his early years. He is well versed in Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism, and is good at poetry and prose. In 1382, Zhu Yuanzhang selected eminent monks to serve the kings and recite scriptures and recommend blessings to the late Empress Ma.

Yao Guangxiao was selected by recommendation and followed Zhu Di, King of Yan, to Beiping to abbot Daqing Shou Temple. From then on, he often went in and out of Prince Yan's palace, participated in the conspiracy to seize the throne, and became Zhu Di's important adviser. Before Zhu Di's "Jingnan" proclaimed his military status, he had advised Zhu Di on many occasions.

In 1399, on the eve of the revolt in June, they planned to capture Beiping's envoy Zhang Bing and the commander-in-chief Xie Gui. During the Battle of Jingnan, he assisted the Crown Prince of Yan and led ten thousand people to defend Peiping, defeating the imperial court's hundreds of thousands of Northern Expedition troops. After that, Duozan still planned a strategy, which finally enabled Zhu Di to win the throne. After Zhu Di came to the throne, he was first appointed as an official monk, Lu Si Zuo Shanshi, and in 1404, he was awarded the title of Prince Shaoshi.

In his later years, Yao Guangxiao was not only afraid of the dangers of officialdom battles, but also unwilling to give up the pursuit of his lifelong career. Therefore, although he was appointed official, he did not change his identity as a monk. He was mainly responsible for tutoring and reading for the prince and grandson, and presided over the "Yongle Dadian" and "Mingtai". The compilation of books such as "Ancestor Records". In the early Ming Dynasty, when Buddhism was gradually declining, he took on the responsibility of protecting Buddhism and compiled "Dao Yulu", which was anti-Buddhist.

Yao Guangxiao's profound knowledge and cultivation had a great influence on the emperor's grandson, and also played a great role in the completion of the "Yongle Dadian". His major works include "The Collection of Fuxu", "The Collection of Poems of Fuxuzi", "The Collection of Fuxu", etc.

Yao Guangxiao was a native of Cheung Chau, and his family had been practicing medicine for generations. In the eighth year of the Zheng Dynasty, when he was only fourteen years old, Yao Guangxiao became a monk and took the Buddhist name Daoyan.

Later, Yao Guangxiao became a disciple of Taoist priest Xi Yingzhen and learned the art of yin and yang.

In the eighth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered monks who were proficient in Confucianism to take the examination at the Ministry of Rites. Yao Guangxiao was summoned to the capital by Ming Taizu as a monk who was proficient in Confucianism. However, he was not awarded the title of monk official and was only given monk robes.

In 1380, he entered Tianjie Temple and sought a monk's position on the recommendation of Youjueyi Laifu and Youshan Shizong.

In the fifteenth year of Hongwu's reign, Queen Ma died of illness. Taizu of the Ming Dynasty selected eminent monks to accompany the kings and chant sutras and pray for blessings.

At that time, Dao Yan was recommended by Zuoshan Shizong of the Senglu Division, and had a very pleasant talk with the King of Yan Zhu Di, so he asked to follow Zhu Di to Peiping. After Yao Guangxiao arrived in Peiping, he served as the abbot of Qingshou Temple. He often went in and out of Prince Yan's palace and had secret talks with Zhu Di.

In the thirty-first year of Hongwu's reign, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty died. Emperor Jianwen succeeded to the throne and implemented the policy of reducing the vassalage. Zhou Wang Zhu Ji, Xiang Wang Zhu Bai, Dai Wang Zhu Gui, Qi Wang Zhu Zhu, and Min Wang Zhu Lun were convicted one after another and were abolished as vassal states.

Yao Guangxiao secretly advised Zhu Di to raise troops. Zhu Di said: "The people support the imperial court, what should we do?" Yao Guangxiao replied: "I only know the way of heaven and don't care about the people's hearts."

Later, Yao Guangxiao recommended the fortune teller Yuan Gong and the diviner Jin Zhong to Zhu Di, which gradually made Zhu Di determined. Zhu Di secretly wooed officers, colluded with troops, and recruited warriors. Yao Guangxiao, on the other hand, trained soldiers and horses in the back garden of Prince Yan's Mansion, built a crypt surrounded by thick walls, forged weapons, and raised geese and ducks to mask the sound.

In June of the first year of Jianwen, Ni Liang, one of the guards of the Prince of Yan's Palace, reported Zhu Di for treason, and the court ordered the arrest of the officials of the Prince of Yan's Palace. The capital commander Zhang Xin secretly reported the news to Zhu Di, and Zhu Di decided to immediately raise troops and kill Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng in the name of Fengtian Jingnan. Yao Guangxiao assisted the crown prince Zhu Gaochi to stay in Peiping.

In October of the same year, Zhu Di attacked Daning, and Li Jinglong, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Army, took the opportunity to besiege Peiping. Yao Guangxiao commanded the soldiers to guard the city and repelled the attack of the Confederate army. He also used ropes to hang the soldiers out of the city at night, and attacked with Zhu Di's reinforcements from inside and outside, defeating the Confederate army. Li Jinglong and Ping An were defeated one after another.

In the second year of Jianwen, Zhu Di besieged Jinan for three months and was unable to break the city. Yao Guangxiao had someone send a message to Zhu Di, saying: "The soldiers are tired, let's go back to the squadron." Zhu Di then returned to Peiping. Later, the Yan army was defeated again in Dongchang, general Zhang Yu died in battle, and Zhu Di retreated again.

At that time, Zhu Di originally planned to take a short rest, but under Yao Guangxiao's strong advice, he continued to march, defeated Sheng Yong, and broke through Xishui Village. Later, Yao Guangxiao said to Zhu Di: "Don't attack the city. You should quickly capture the capital. The capital is weak and can be conquered." Zhu Di adopted his advice, defeated the southern army in Feishui and Lingbi, and crossed the river to enter the capital. .

In the fourth year of Jianwen's reign, Zhu Di proclaimed himself emperor and became the founder of the Ming Dynasty. Yao Guangxiao was appointed as Zuo Shanshi, the Secretary of Senglu.

After Chengzu ascended the throne, he was granted the title of monk Lu Si Zuo Shanshi.

In the second year of Yongle, Yao Guangxiao paid homage to Dr. Zishan and Prince Shaoshi. He changed his surname to Yao and gave him the name Guangxiao. Every time Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty talked with Yao Guangxiao, he called him Young Master instead of calling him by his first name.

Later, Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty ordered Yao Guangxiao to grow his hair and return to secular life, but Yao Guangxiao refused.

Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty also gave him a mansion and palace maids, but Yao Guangxiao still refused to accept it. He just lived in the temple, wore court clothes when he went to court, and changed back to monk's clothes after leaving the court. When he went to Suhu to provide disaster relief, he went to Cheung Chau and distributed all the gold he received to the people of his clan.

After that, Ming Chengzu traveled between Nanjing and Beijing, and made several expeditions to Mongolia. Yao Guangxiao stayed in Nanjing to assist the prince Zhu Gaochi in supervising the country.

In the fifth year of Yongle, Yao Guangxiao was ordered to teach Zhu Zhanji, the eldest grandson of the emperor.

In the 16th year of Yongle, Yao Guangxiao was seriously ill and could not go to court, so he lived in Qingshou Temple.

Chengzu visited him several times, gave him a golden saliva pot, and asked him what he wanted.

Yao Guangxiao said: "Monk Pu Qia has been in prison for a long time. I hope he can be pardoned." Pu Qia was the chief recording monk of Emperor Jianwen.

When Chengzu entered Nanjing, some people said that Emperor Jianwen disguised himself as a monk and escaped, and Pu Qia knew about it. Others said that Emperor Jianwen was hiding in Pu Qia's home. The emperor imprisoned Pu Qia on the grounds of other affairs, and ordered Hu Hui and others to search for the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen everywhere, but they could not find him. Pu Qia had been imprisoned for more than ten years.

Until then, Chengzu agreed to Yao Guangxiao's request and immediately ordered his release. Yao Guangxiao kowtowed in thanks.

Soon, Yao Guangxiao died of illness at the age of eighty-four.

Two days after Chengzu abolished the court, Yao Guangxiao was buried with the rites of a monk. He was posthumously awarded the title of Civil Minister of Xuanli, Tejin Ronglu Dafu, Shangzhuguo, and Rongguogong. He was given the posthumous title of Gongjing and was buried in Fangshan. In the northeast of the county, he personally wrote a Shinto inscription for him and granted his adopted son Yao Ji the official position of Shangbao Shaoqing.

In the 22nd year of Yongle, Zhu Di, who respected Yao Guangxiao very much, died in Yumuchuan during the northern expedition. Prince Zhu Gaochi succeeded him as Renzong.

Yao Guangxiao once assisted the crown prince Zhu Gaochi to stay in Peiping during the "Battle of Jingnan". Later, he served as the crown prince's young teacher and assisted the crown prince Zhu Gaochi to stay in Nanjing to supervise the country. Zhu Gaochi also had great respect for Yao Guangxiao.

Zhu Gaochi succeeded to the throne and commended Yao Guangxiao again. March 20th of the first year of Hongxi was the seventh anniversary of Yao Guangxiao's death. Zhu Gaochi wrote a memorial in person and sent his heir Yao Ji to pay tribute. He praised Yao Guangxiao for his meritorious service to the court and that Emperor Zhu Di "coordinated with each other to overcome great difficulties and achieve great success." ", and also said, "My emperor, Emperor Taizongwen, used the great sage's virtues to obey the heavens and respond to people, and then settled the country, prospered the sea, and built peace. It was all thanks to the concerted efforts of your ministers to assist in the great cause." So he supported "It is a common rule in ancient and modern times" that "when alive, one will share his wealth and honor, and when one dies, he will be worshiped and enjoyed by him." Yao Guangxiao was additionally given the title "Lord Junior Master Sanguan, and his posthumous title remains the same as before", and he was specially ordered to marry Yao Guangxiao to the temple of Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty.

Being worthy of enjoying the temple court should be Yao Guangxiao's greatest honor as Zhu Di's adviser.

Looking at Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, in the list of those who were entitled to enjoy the imperial temple in the two dynasties of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there are 16 meritorious officials from King Xu Da of Zhongshan to the following, all of whom were military ministers who went through life and death.

Among civil servants, the only one who ranks second among the meritorious officials is Yao Guangxiao.

This shows Yao Guangxiao's special status in the early Ming Dynasty!

There was a wonderful incident about the falling tiles. When Chengzu was raising troops, a storm suddenly came and the eaves and tiles of the palace were blown to the ground.

The wind blowing down tiles was considered an ominous sign at that time, so Chengzu couldn't help but change his mind. Yao Guangxiao said: "This is a good omen! Since ancient times, when flying dragons are in the sky, wind and rain must follow them.

The blue tiles of the palace fell to the ground, which indicates that His Highness will use the emperor's yellow tiles. "

This shows Yao Guangxiao's ability to adapt to changes.

Zhu Di once commented on the prime minister in black:

Guangxiao's equipment is magnificent and his temperament is indifferent.

He first learned the Buddhist name and Taoist scriptures, devoted himself to the inner scriptures, and obtained its profound secrets. He exerted his enthusiasm, broadness and smoothness, and became mature. He greatly promoted the style of the sect. He bypassed Confucianism and penetrated all the schools of thought. Therefore, his articles are strict and his poems have high rhythm. Simple, all transcendent. Even though famous people are convinced of his abilities, they always fall short.

Guangxiao Dequan has always acted in the spirit of the gods, his merits have been preserved in the country, and he has benefited future generations. If such a person allows him to live in the grass and fields at the right time to assist in the fortune of the king, then he will be able to spread his voice and light throughout the universe and his fame will be immortalized on bamboo and silk. .

It can be seen from this that Yao Guangxiao's contribution to Zhu Di's high position is indispensable, and it can also be seen from this that Yao Guangxiao's power is comparable to Zhuge Kongming, Liu Bowen, etc.

This is a scribe with extremely strong political ability.

There are many peerless talents in history, but human lifespan is short. If those astonishing talents were no longer limited by their lifespan, I am afraid history would be a different story.

Now, Qin Yu's civilization is about to face such a scene.

Qin Yu nodded slightly, and with a sudden awareness, five more figures appeared on the Tianque Palace.

The gate to the underworld opened in mid-air.

Two figures slowly walked out of it, exuding boundless aura.

One of them is Bai Wuchang, Xie Bian, with a smile on his face, tall and thin body, pale complexion, and a long tongue. The official hat on his head has the four words "make money at first sight" written on it.

The second one is black and impermanent, fan Wushe, with a fierce face, a wide body and a fat body, a small black face, and the four words "The world is peaceful" written on his official hat.

Both ghosts are at the eighth level of the extraordinary and have considerable strength.

There is also a Buddha light all over the sky, holding a Zen staff, wearing a cassock, and hanging Buddha beads.

Full of holy aura, there is a sharp contrast with the two ghosts of black and white.

Another man wearing black monk robes slowly walked from outside Tianque Hall.

"The poor monk Jin Chanzi, whose Buddhist name is Xuanzang, pays homage to Your Majesty!"

"Hei Wuchang Fan Wushe!"

"Bai Wuchang thanks Bian!"

"Greetings to Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, Yao Guangxiao, pays homage to your Majesty!"

Five figures bowed respectfully to Qin Yu.

Qin Yu nodded slightly and said, "Everyone, get up."

"Black and white are impermanent. They enter the Yin Division and become third-grade Yin commanders, each commanding millions of Yin soldiers."

"Master Xuanzang entered the Heavenly Court and established the Dharma Division as the head of the Dharma Division."

"Yao Guangxiao entered the royal court and became a first-class prime minister, in charge of important affairs of the royal court."

Qin Yu allocated a few people in a few words.

"Thank you for your grace!"

After a while, several people performed their duties and went to report.

.........

.........

.........

In the blink of an eye, Tianyu civilization passed forty years.

Great changes.

From the original six states of Wuzhou, Shenmu State, Muzhou, Zhongzhou, Jingzhou, Shazhou.

Now it has become the addition of Chengzhou, Yuanzhou, Guzhou, Mingzhou, Yanzhou, Huzhou, Jizhou, Longzhou, Dongzhou, Pingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Yuzhou, Mingzhou and Qinzhou , Fengzhou.

The entire land of twenty-two states!

The total area reaches 56 million square kilometers!

Under the joint governance of Yu Qian, Zhuge Liang, Yao Guangxiao, Xu Yi and others, the population reached 2.6 billion! !

All laws in the world are singing together!

Witchcraft, Taoism, cultivation, martial arts, Shinto, technology!

All reached a terrifying point.

It can be said to be a prosperous time when a hundred flowers bloom!

Nowadays, Qin Yu has three people under his command, even the twelfth-level extraordinary warrior.

The first is Ying Xuan, the second is Xu Youping, and the third is Jiang Ziya, the master of the gods.

The current emperor of the Great Qin Royal Court is Qin Yu’s eldest son, Qin Zhen.

He was the second generation monarch of the Qin Dynasty.

The year name is Yunting.

Over the years, Qin Zhen has led his team, and now one-third of the world of the Great Qin Royal Court was conquered by his efforts.

Merit is ironclad proof, and this throne is also very secure.

The main reason is also because Qin Yu has not married again in these years, so he only has two sons.

The second son also had no interest in the throne, so no one competed with Qin Zhen for this throne.

Qin Yu was too lazy to sit down. Even if he sat down, he didn't care about anything, so he might as well let his son sit down.

Secondly, the gods now govern the world, and Qin Yu leads the gods in the world and is the lord of all realms.

There is no need to worry about the instability of the royal court or the rebellion of his son.

Everything is done because the fist in the hand is big enough, so there is nothing to fear.
