Chapter three hundred and twenty second visit

Zhu Di had just lay down and he had not had a good sleep for two consecutive nights. He couldn't stand it until dawn, and under the escort of the three thousand imperial guards, he returned to the bedroom to rest. Just when Zhu Di had just closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard a slight opening from outside the bedroom, and then Zheng He, who was guarding outside, was whispering to someone. Although his voice was light, he could hear it clearly.

"Who is making noise outside? Zheng He! Who are you talking to..." After hearing the sound, Zhu Di could no longer sleep. He threw the pillow out in anger, and then continued to scold: "Where are the guards outside the door! People come! Put Zheng He and the person who talked in prison! Do you dare to disturb me, are you tired of living?"

Zhu Di seemed particularly irritable when he had not had a sleep for two days. At this moment, the words of his fat son came from the direction of the door: "Your Majesty, it is the son minister Gao Chi. Doctor Zishan, the prince's young master, Zuo Shanshi, and the abbot of Qingshou Temple, Zen Master Daoyan, sent his disciples to deliver the memorial. The young master... has already obtained the Buddhist metaphor and will pass away tomorrow night..."

Before Zhu Gaochi finished speaking, he suddenly heard a "thump!" sound from the bedroom, as if a heavy object had fallen to the ground. The prince and Zheng He were frightened and hurriedly walked into the bedroom. Before they could walk out a few steps, Zhu Di, with disheveled hair, stumbled out, ran out of it.

When he just heard that Yao Guangxiao was about to pass away, Zhu Di was anxious to jump off the bed. Unexpectedly, his feet tripped by the mattress, and the emperor fell from the bed. When he landed, his forehead hit the ground, and a big bruised bag fell.

At this time, Zhu Di had no longer cared about the pain. After he came over, he grabbed Zhu Gaochi and said in a daze: "Where is the memorial? Where is the monk who sent the letter? I just saw that the young master was still very good, so why did he leave just by saying that..."

Without Yao Guangxiao, there would be no Jingnan Battle. Although the monk lost his magic and immortal body in recent years, he occasionally had friction with Zhu Di. However, in the heart of Emperor Yongle, he still placed Yao Guangxiao at an extremely high position. Last year, the monk calculated his birthday for himself and said that he still had more than ten years of life. Why is he going to pass away now?

After Zhu Gaochi handed the memorial in his hand to his father, he asked someone to call the young monk waiting outside the bedroom to come, waiting for the emperor to ask about Yao Guangxiao after reading the memorial.

Zhu Di just read two lines of memorials, and his eyes turned red and tears couldn't help but flow down. After barely reading the memorials, he stopped asking the little monk who was already standing at the door. At this moment, the Emperor Yongle said to his prince: "Prepare the Qingshou Temple... bring all the imperial doctors in the palace and pass on my oral instructions. As long as the young master can be saved, he will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold and granted the title of marquis of ten thousand households..."

When he heard that the emperor was about to see Yao Guangxiao like this, Zhu Gaochi and Zheng He looked at each other, the fat prince said, "Your Majesty, you must not enter the palace easily. This is what Emperor Taizu said in person. According to the opinions of his sons, let the imperial physicians go to diagnose the disease first. After the imperial physician's consultation opinions, we will discuss when you will visit the young master."

Since Zhu Di ascended the throne, everything was done according to what Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang said. As long as it was said by Emperor Taizu, he would do everything. But when he heard that Yao Guangxiao was about to pass away, Zhu Di didn't care much anymore. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "The young master is not an ordinary minister. He is both a teacher and a friend to me. I will go to the temple to meet an old friend. Go and prepare, I will go to see this old friend soon..."

One and a half later, the emperor's jade chariot arrived in front of the mountain gate of Qingshou Temple. The monks of all sizes in the temple heard that the emperor was coming in person, and they were waiting at the door to welcome him. After Zhu Di walked down from the jade chariot, he saw that Yao Guangxiao was not among these monks. He hurriedly ordered people to take him to the old monk's Zen room.

After a few hours, Yao Guangxiao seemed to have become a monk. His originally gray eyebrows had turned white, and his face was densely filled with wrinkles. The two broken killing patterns on his face looked even more obvious. Unexpectedly, the old monk would have such a change in a short time, which made Zhu Di, who was still holding a hint of luck, completely fall to the bottom of the valley...

"Your Majesty has arrived, why don't those little monks say anything?" Yao Guangxiao saw the emperor walking into his meditation room, and hurriedly got up and saluted Zhu Di.

"Young Master, rest well, I will sit down." After pressing Yao Guangxiao back to the bed, Zhu Di pulled a cushion back and sat down. Then he smiled at the old monk barely and said, "I really scared me after reading the memorial from the Young Master to me. But don't care too much about it. Abbot Pu Yuan of Shaoqing Temple in Wutai Mountain said that he was about to pass away. As a result, isn't he still alive now? He also saw the Buddha's etiquette with his own eyes, probably because the Buddha regretted it..."

Speaking of this, Zhu Di was amused by his jokes and laughed in front of Yao Guangxiao. With a smile, two lines of clear tears remained from the corner of his eyes. The emperor took advantage of the old monk's attention and turned around and wiped the tears with his sleeve.

"It's a pity that the monk is not Pu Yuan. Yao Guangxiao is a altar master. He knows that even if the Daluo Jinxian descends to the earth, he will not be able to return to heaven. I'm afraid that his Majesty will be disappointed..." Yao Guangxiao smiled at the emperor and continued, "The monk can't get through Ming Yezi. If you Buddha regret it this time, then the monk will obey His Majesty's words, return to the secular and official, and take care of this great river and country for His Majesty..."

Zhu Di nodded and said, "Okay. If you are safe and sound after tomorrow night, you will be reborn as an official. At that time, I will give you a good marriage, and you will also enjoy the joy of family."

"A word is determined..." Yao Guangxiao nodded with a smile. After pausing for a moment, he continued, "But once the monk really leaves with the Buddha tomorrow night, please don't be sad. This is the result of the monk's cultivation. Perhaps the monk can still transcend the cycle of reincarnation and devote himself to practicing the Dharma in front of the Buddha."

Just as Zhu Di was about to continue speaking, the voice of his fat son suddenly sounded outside the Zen room: "Your Majesty, there is a great master of the alchemist, Guangren, a great master of the alchemist, who is asking for a meeting with the volcano. Should you say goodbye to the young master after he finished speaking, or would you invite two great masters in now?"

When Volcano protected another vassal king, his master Guangren also helped him. However, once and forth, Zhu Di has now been on the throne of the emperor. The alchemist dared not do anything to control the country's destiny, and it was nothing to see him. But now Zhu Di is going to send Yao Guangxiao on his last journey. Suddenly, when he sees these two great masters, outsiders, will think that the world is in a bad state...

Seeing Zhu Di hesitating, Zhu Gaochi at the door said again: "Didn't Your Majesty move the entire Imperial Hospital? It just so happened that the Imperial Doctors were asked to take the pulse of the young master. Your Majesty was not convenient to wait here, so they had an explanation after consultation."

"Okay, let the imperial physicians come in and take the pulse of the young master one by one. If I have issued an order, as long as I can save the young master, I will reward ten thousand taels of gold and be granted the title of ten thousand house marquis." After Guangren finished speaking, he had already waited for dozens of imperial physicians outside the door of the Zen room to come in one by one to treat the old monk.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhu Di comforted Yao Guangxiao for a few words and then retreated from the Zen room. At this time, two people with white and red hair were already waiting here. "The alchemist Guangren (Volcano) has seen His Majesty the Emperor, I wish His Majesty good health." After the two great masters owed Zhu Di, they were treated to the emperor.

After nodding at the two great masters, Zhu Di said, "The two great masters are here to wait for me, right? They are also here to send the young master's last journey?"

After a smile, Guangren said, "Junior Brother Guangxiao left as soon as possible, and we both were not prepared. At the beginning, Guangren and Guangxiao were both the same disciples. Although he has changed to Buddhism, I will definitely give it to him for the last time. In addition to sending Guangxiao to Guangxiao, there is another thing to go to the palace to meet His Majesty. Unexpectedly, you have arrived at Qingshou Temple, Your Majesty... "
