"Prince, there's news about the matter you asked me to send people to keep an eye on.”
One day, Zhou Zong asked to meet Zhu Biao, which made Zhu Biao extremely excited.
"How is it?"
"In the Jiangshan Temple at the southeast slope of Mount Zhijin outside Yingtian City, a monk who wandered here came. His only disciple, Dao Yan, was fated to be called Yao Guangxiao.”
"Very good, prepare a horse for this prince. Go and get Lan Yu to bring 500 elite soldiers from the Wolf Breaking Army to surround Jiang Shan Temple. Don't hurt Yao Guangxiao.”
Zhu Biao threw a silver badge at Zhou Zong. It was the only token that could mobilize the Wolf Breaking Army.
"Yes."
Zhou Zong hurriedly caught the badge and rode back to the military camp.
Although he didn't know who Yao Guangxiao was, the prince had already asked him to keep an eye on Mount Zhijin for a whole year. This person was probably very important.
If Zhu Biao knew what Zhou Zong was thinking, he would definitely shout.
Nonsense!
In history, when Zhu Di was in power, other than Zhu Di himself, who was the most dazzling person in the entire Ming Dynasty?
Yao Guangxiao!
Yao Guangxiao, the sickly tiger!
It could be said that without Yao Guangxiao and Zhu Di, the Jingkang Rebellion would not have succeeded.
He was also known as the black-robed prime minister. Although he was a monk, he was indeed standing at the peak of power.
Moreover, he was the one who presided over the planning and relocation of Beiping. It could be said that he was the founder of Beiping.
Not only that, he was also the highest editor of the Yongle Grand Ceremony and the Ming Taizu Record.
From this, it could be seen that this person was really capable.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been personally sent to the Taizu Temple by the Ming Emperor as a civil official.
Not to mention the Ming Dynasty, even in the past dynasties, there were not many people who could enjoy such glory.
It could be said that Zhu Di's success was definitely inseparable from Yao Guangxiao's advice behind the scenes.
Zhu Biao definitely wouldn't let such a person go. Of course, he had to keep him in his hands.
If he really couldn't control it, he could only kill it.
Yao Guangxiao was too dangerous. It was no exaggeration to say that he alone was equivalent to a hundred thousand soldiers.
Also, Yao Guangxiao's master, Ji Shan, was also an amazing person. It was said that his Eight Trigrams Art was extremely profound.
Zhu Biao only knew that Zhu Di found Yao Guangxiao at Mount Zhijin. As for where exactly, and when did Yao Guangxiao go?
Zhu Biao knew nothing.
He could only ask Zhou Zong to send people to keep an eye on him day and night.
After a whole year, Yao Guangxiao finally arrived.
Zhu Biao was still a little excited.
According to folk legends, Jiangshan Temple was a temple built by Emperor Wu of Liang during the Southern Dynasty to worship Zen Master Baozhi.
It occupied a huge area, and there were nearly 500 palaces of various sizes. The decorations inside were even more magnificent.
Zhu Biao changed his clothes and brought some of his soldiers with Lan Yu to Jiangshan Temple.
About 300 steps away from the temple, Zhu Biao ordered 500 elite soldiers to surround Jiangshan Temple. Zhu Biao took Lan Yu and walked towards Jiangshan Temple.
Now that the sun was about to set, the temple gate was naturally closed.
Zhu Biao stopped Lan Yu, who was about to step forward, and the two of them went forward to knock on the mountain gate.
Knock knock!
Knock knock!
Zhu Biao knocked twice, and a bald monk opened the door.
The bald monk looked to be in his thirties. He did not look like a solemn statue in Buddhism at all. Instead, he was as ugly as he could be.
Zhu Biao knew that this was the famous Yao Guangxiao.
"Prince, please come in. Master has been waiting for you for a long time.”
Hearing this, Zhu Biao brought Lan Yu and walked forward.
Dao Yan revealed a troubled expression.
"Prince, Master said to let you enter alone.”
"You monk, you're so bold!"
When Lan Yu heard that, how could she not? He immediately drew his sword.
This monk looked so loathsome that Lan Yu didn't believe him.
If anything happened to the prince here, he would not be able to bear the responsibility.
"Lan Yu, wait here."
Zhu Biao wasn't angry. He just turned around and instructed Lan Yu.
"Yes."
Although Lan Yu was still very unconvinced, he did not dare to disobey Zhu Biao's words.
After retreating to the side, he glared fiercely at the ugly monk Dao Yan.
"Prince, please."
Dao Yan ignored Lan Yu and respectfully brought Zhu Biao inside.
After walking in the temple for a while, Zhu Biao was brought into the main hall by Dao Yan and met the sage-like Abbot Ji Shan.
Zhu Biao also sat on the main seat that they had given up.
Monk Dao Yan served the fragrant tea and stood behind Monk Ji Shan.
"May I ask why the prince came to visit our temple so late at night?”
Ji Shan stroked his beard and looked at Zhu Biao with bright eyes.
"I heard that Master Jishan has the ability to see through the heavens and earth, so I came to visit today.”
Zhu Biao smiled and picked up his teacup.
"I wonder if Grandmaster can see my destiny?”
"The prince is naturally noble."
"Humph."
Zhu Biao snorted and slammed the teacup on the table.
"Then I wonder if Master Jishan is willing to let your beloved disciple serve this prince?”
"Prince, you must be joking. My disciple has an ugly face and no talent.”
Hearing Ji Shan's words, Zhu Biao was so angry that he laughed.
"I'm afraid it's not that I can't, but that I'm unwilling! In your eyes, I am destined to die early.”
Hearing Zhu Biao's words, Ji Shan wasn't annoyed. He just smiled.
"The prince must be joking. The prince is naturally blessed.”
"Since ancient times, none of the wise crown princes of the founding kings have had a good ending, right?”
Fusu, the eldest son of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, was finally sentenced to death by Hu Hai's false edict.
Liu Ying, the Crown Prince of Liu Bang, the Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, ascended the throne and became Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty.
In the end, because his personality was too kind. After seeing Madam Qi being turned into a human pig by her mother, she was disheartened and died very early.
Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of Jin, unified the three kingdoms. He could be said to be an incredible figure. However, his crown prince, Sima Zhong, was directly killed by the Rebellion of the Eight Princes. It could be said that he was better off dead than alive.
Emperor Wen's crown prince, Yang Yong, was ordered to die.
Prince Jian of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan was killed by Li Shimin.
The eldest son of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Dezhao, was forced to commit suicide.
Yuan Shizu Kublai Khan's Crown Prince Jinjin died young.
"Since ancient times, there has never been a crown prince of a founding king who could achieve great things. So, Master Ji Shan, you think that I, Zhu Biao, will be like them, right?”
"The prince is indeed smart."
Ji Shan smiled bitterly. He actually couldn't predict Zhu Biao's fate at all. He had only made a judgment based on the curse of 'the founding prince's life was short.'
"Did Master Jishan read my father's fortune?”
Zhu Biao continued to ask.
"I dare not say."
When Ji Shan heard this, the bitter smile on his face became even stronger.
He calculated that Zhu Yuanzhang's fate was extremely precious. He was probably the next ruler of the world.
It was just that this person's killing nature was too heavy, and he would probably cause endless killing sins.
Moreover, it was because he had been a wandering monk before, so it was impossible for him to believe in Buddhism.
Everything that Zhu Yuanzhang had obtained today was entirely on his own.
He had been a refugee, a monk, and even a beggar. He had relied on himself to get to where he was today.
If such a person were to become the emperor, he would not believe in any Confucian Sage, Buddha, or Dao Immortal.
He would probably suppress the Buddhist Sect and even the Dao Sect.
