Zhu Xu looked at the great monk and said: "The master is misinterpreting what I mean. What I said is that the road ahead is difficult. What you said doesn't make sense."

The great monk looked at Zhu Xu, and said solemnly: "If it is difficult, it will not work. If you are persistent, it will be of no benefit to others or yourself, and it will only increase your worries."

Zhu Xu shook his head and said: "Master's words are wrong. Nothing in the world is perfect. If everyone in the world shrinks back because of difficulties and does not make progress in everything, what good is it for us to be born in the world? As a son of man, we should work hard and make Gaotang No worries about food and clothing, glory in the village, as an official, you should actively act, serve the country and the people, and live up to the world... This son believes that the responsibility of being born in the world is greater than everything else, and everything is muddling along, and even seeks God and Buddha in order to avoid it... Apart from wasting food, what benefit do people have for themselves, others, and the country?"

The great monk clasped his hands together, frowned slightly, and remained silent for a while, then suddenly smiled and said: "The benefactor is eloquent, what the poor monk said is something that should not be done, and it is not allowed to be biased. Ordinary people are fine. Being an official will cause great harm. According to Buddhism, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately.

Zhu Xu put his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "What is 'what not to do'? How do you judge 'what to do and what not to do'?"

The great monk raised his hand, looked at Zhu Xu and said, "You can't do what you want, you can do what you want. You can't say anything about the value of a son, so you should know the truth."

Zhu Xu raised his head slightly, and couldn't help laughing and said: "The master regards 'people's hearts' as the most important thing, and I really can't refute them, but people's hearts come first, and after all, we will find out after traveling through mountains and rivers. I'm going to carry on' courage, but there is still a lot of determination not to give up, you should be the monk who met Brother Xinwang, right?"

As soon as Zhu Xu's words fell, Wang Yizhou's face changed suddenly, and he jumped forward. Other guards also rushed over, surrounded the monk, and the weapons in his hands were revealed. on the spot!

The pilgrims around were startled and ran out one after another.

The great monk didn't panic at all, bowed slightly and said, "Huijing has seen His Majesty."

Zhu Xu folded his hands behind his back, examined his gaze, and said, "You just used 'people's hearts' as a question, how did you determine 'people's hearts'? You said what you think of 'people's hearts', but what I want is the world's 'people's hearts'! Even if there is a moment of trouble, the world is full of turmoil, or people's words are terrible, and history books are like knives, I will be willing to do so, and my determination will not change. But you, a monk, with impure six senses and dusty mirrors, do you have any reflections?"

Zhu Xu showed his identity, and the great monk naturally couldn't continue to argue. When it came to this point, he also knew that it would be useless to talk too much, so he bowed there and said: "The poor monk is in the Buddhist gate, and his heart is in love with the world of mortals. In the end, his practice is not enough. Your Majesty Looking down at the world, you can see that the people are like ants, the earth is like fire, water and fire are incompatible, misfortunes and blessings are just around the corner, please think twice."

Zhu Xu nodded and said: "I understood two things a long time ago. First, you can't bicker with literati. Even if he slaps his own mouth, he can do it smoothly, without changing his face. Second, You can't argue with the monks, because they are full of kindness, and they are vain to find the afterlife. As long as they can't be proved, then they are right... You have been talking for a long time just to tell me that I am wrong and I have to listen to you, but Are you really right? Where does your confidence come from?"

The great monk opened his mouth to speak, Zhu Xu waved his hand, and said: "I said, I don't like to argue with you, it's nothing more than an endless loop, arguing is a waste of time and delaying things. I'll give you a chance, go to Shaanxi, and be a companion with King Xin, by the way, ask him, what's going on with these rumors in the capital..."

The great monk's face changed slightly, he raised his hand and said to Zhu Xu: "Your Majesty, King Xin only wants to be a wealthy and idle king, so why do you bother to force him?"

Zhu Xu sneered, and said: "In your opinion, it is I who is persecuting him, but you see the opportunity I gave him? Just like the last time in Shaanxi, he didn't even see me? So decisive, that I want to kill him?"

The great monk couldn't figure out what Zhu Xu was going to do, his brows were slightly calm, and he said: "Yes, the poor monk will leave for Xi'an Mansion today."

Zhu Xu nodded lightly, and said: "Take care of him. Since you don't want to come to the capital, then stay well and don't worry about anything. The rumors in the capital... just pretend you haven't heard it."

The great monk faintly felt that there was something in Zhu Xu's words, but he couldn't figure it out. After a while, he said, "Yes, poor monk, write it down."

Today was an unexpected harvest, Zhu Xu waved his hand and said, "Go, I won't send someone to see you off, follow you, be careful on the way."

The great monk looked unmoved, but he sighed in his heart. The emperor was more difficult to deal with than he expected. He clasped his hands together, bowed and said, "Observe the order."

Zhu Xu ignored him, looked at Zhang Yun and said, "It took a lot of drooling, let's go, let's go and see the tea in the meditation room."

Zhang Yun had a strange look on his face, he quickly restrained himself, and followed Zhu Xu gently.

The great monk looked at Zhu Xu's back and sighed deeply.He didn't want to be troublesome at first, but he just couldn't help it, but it turned out that as the rumors from the outside world said, the current emperor is headstrong, doesn't listen to other people's words, has no breasts, and wastes words in vain.

"That's all." He sighed again in his heart, turned and went to his wing, ready to pack his things.

At this time, Zhu Xu had already arrived at a wing room that was scented with sandalwood. Just as he sat down, Cao Huachun outside the door blocked Xiao Yongning and Zhang Shu, and said, "Princess, Second Miss, you all have the wing room here."

Just as Yongning was about to speak, Zhang Shu pulled her and said, "Princess, go, I have something to say to you..."

"I want to be with Uncle Huang..." Xiao Yongning was dragged away by Zhang Shu before he finished speaking.

Chapter 873

The door of the meditation room was closed, and only Zhu Xu and Zhang Yun sat opposite each other.

Zhu Xu picked up the teapot, poured a cup for Zhang Yun, then poured a cup for himself, held it up to his nose and smelled it, then shook his head and said, "White Pagoda Temple is so full of incense, the pilgrims are actually using this old tea... ..."

Zhang Yun's pretty face was a little tight, and she was sitting opposite Zhu Xu, breathing carefully.

Zhu Xu took a sip, looked up at her expression, and said with a broken smile, "Why, are you so afraid of being alone with me?"

There was a slight smile on Zhang Yun's face, and he said softly: "Your Majesty, this is not in line with etiquette."

"That's a bad excuse." Zhu Xu smiled and put down his teacup.The situation between him and Zhang Yun is a bit strange, it's not like a relationship, let alone a blind date, because of his status and status, he can't bend down, and he feels a little businesslike.

Zhang Yun's heart was pounding, he didn't know how to answer, and his hands under the table were tightly twisted together.

Zhu Xu sensed the strange atmosphere, coughed, and said, "You don't have anything to say, do you want to ask?"

Zhang Yun's ears started to heat up, he lowered his head slightly, and said, "Everything is up to the emperor."

"I can't talk like this..."

Zhu Xu pinched his chin and said, "What do you think about what happened outside?"

Zhang Yun is flustered now, reluctantly thinking for a while, and said: "The daughter of the people thinks that the emperor is right."

"Tell me." Zhu Xu picked up the teacup, but immediately the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. It felt like he was facing the court officials who came to present in the imperial study.

Zhang Yun pursed her lips and said: "Although the daughter of the people doesn't know what the emperor is going to do, but the king of Xin is the emperor's elder brother after all, and he should be kind."

"Benevolence?" Zhu Xu let out a laugh, and said, "This entire Daming, that is, you say I am benevolent, and I don't know how many people in the world call me 'mean and ungrateful', 'naturally cold', even brothers and sisters. I don’t care about feelings, and it’s even worse that those grown-ups dare not tell me, you may not have heard of it..."

Zhang Yun looked at Zhu Xu, and said softly: "I haven't read many books, but I also know that throughout the ages, all holy emperors have had mixed reputations, knowing that they can't do it. The emperor disregarded his reputation for the sake of the world. , is already the appearance of the sage.”

Zhu Xu looked at Zhang Yun. Although her personal feelings were unavoidable in these words, Zhu Xu did feel comfortable listening to them—because the flattery he heard was so pitiful that his adults were either cautious or cautious. Either keep it at a respectful distance, few people dare to flatter.

Zhu Xu was very satisfied with Zhang Yun in his heart. It was better to have an understanding person by his side than a submissive vase facing each other every day in the harem.

Picking up the teacup again, Zhu Xu smiled and said, "Okay, let's skip this topic, the other one, um, why don't you ask me for mercy?"

Zhang Yun's pretty face was slightly startled, she looked at Zhu Xu and said, "Dare to ask the emperor, what kind of favor do you want?"

"Shangguan's house." Zhu Xu looked at her.

Zhang Yun blinked, then pursed his lips, looked straight at Zhu Xu, and said softly, "Because the daughter of the people believes that the emperor will not intentionally embarrass the officials."

Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes, this Zhang Yun gave him a really unusual feeling, this trust alone was not something outsiders could give him.

Her pretty face is like water, her bright eyes are like waves, and there is a hint of seductive charm in her purity.

Zhu Xu stretched out his hand, raised her chin, looked directly at her, and said, "Why do you believe me?"

Zhang Yun's delicate body trembled, her pretty face was flushed, she pursed her lips tightly, and said in a trembling voice: "I don't know... um..."

Zhang Yun didn't speak, Zhu Xu stuck out his head fiercely and kissed her.

Zhang Yun's eyes were wide open, her delicate body was trembling violently, her heart was beating like thunder, and her pretty face was blushing.

Half an hour later, a group of people walked out of the Baita Temple.

Zhu Xu walked in front, Zhang Jun, Zhang Shu, Xiao Yongning followed behind, followed by Cao Huachun, Wang Yizhou and others.

Xiao Yongning walked between the two sisters Zhang Shu and Zhang Yun, looked up at Zhang Yun while walking, and finally couldn't help saying after a long time: "Auntie, why is your face so red, are you sick?"
