Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 199
"The carts are rattling, the horses are Xiaoxiao, and the pedestrians have bows and arrows at their waists. The mother and wife see each other off, and the dust does not see the Xianyang Bridge..."

On the bumpy official road, a group of chariots and horses walked slowly, as if traveling in mountains and rivers.Walking on the banks of the great river.There were nearly a hundred of this group of guards alone, and most of them were dressed in fresh clothes and wore long knives at their waists. They could be identified as guards of wealthy families at a glance.There are also seven or eight carriages, almost filling the official road.Pedestrians on the official road knew at a glance that the nobleman in this car was not easy to mess with, so they avoided it one after another if they were far away.Fortunately, this noble man is considered benevolent, he only cares about his own affairs, and does not disturb the common people.

"Amitabha, Your Highness's "Song of Soldiers and Chariots" is rather ancient, but it's a pity that it doesn't suit the occasion."

On the carriage in the middle, the driver in black heard the poems chanted by the people in the carriage, and said sideways to the inside of the carriage.Pedestrians couldn't help but look sideways when they heard him chanting the Buddha's name, but they saw the shiny head.It turned out to be a monk.It's just that it is really rare for a monk to be a coachman, so some people couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

"It's okay if it's not the right occasion, but it's hard to get out of Beijing. After seeing this beautiful river and mountain, I wanted to recite a few poems to express my feelings. When I lifted the curtain, I saw Brother Chang with a bow and arrow on his waist. For a moment, I only thought of this poem."

The monk acting as the driver on the shaft of the chariot is undoubtedly Yao Guangxiao, and the so-called nobleman in the chariot is undoubtedly Zhu Su.He recited a poem casually and used the wrong allusion. Naturally, it was because Zhu Su only had so much ink in the first place.Thanks to his thick skin, he didn't blush when Yao Guangxiao pointed it out bluntly, and just found a reason to fool him.

"You monk is so ignorant, it's rare for His Highness to sing a poem for me, but you still come to rap."

"I think this poem is not bad. It's both 'chariots' and 'bows and arrows'. It's a hundred times better than those sour poems."

"His Royal Highness's poetic talent is very famous in Yingtian! Those sisters in Fuleyuan are nympho who recite the phrase "Xiao Kan what what cloud" every day. Don't listen to this monk, Your Highness, continue to serve us Lao Chang finished this poem, so that those sisters can also talk about us and go crazy!"

A military officer wearing a blue robe and wearing a bow and arrow came to Zhu Su's car, first scolded Yao Guangxiao, and then said loudly to Zhu Su who lifted the curtain of the car.This person has a rough face and a bold tone, which doesn't match the expensive robes on his body, but he is one of the rare dukes in the Ming Dynasty.It is Chang Yuchun's eldest son, Chang Mao who is now the Duke of Zheng.

Zhu Biao's wife is Chang Yuchun's daughter and Chang Mao's younger sister.Chang Mao is naturally also a natural prince.Earlier, Lao Zhu asked Zhu Biao to send people to guard Zhu Su's left and right, in order to show the members of the court that the two brothers were close to each other.

Zhu Su originally thought that Zhu Biao would at most send a team of prince guards to go to Suzhou together, but he did not expect that Zhu Biao actually persuaded the majestic Zheng Guogong Chang Mao to lead hundreds of people trained by Chang Yuchun himself. The elite soldiers acted as Zhu Su's cheap guards.

Maybe it was because he had heard a lot of good things from his own sister, or maybe it was Zhu Biao's special entrustment, but Zhu Su Changmao, who had a bad reputation among the nobles because of killing Zhu Xian, was very enthusiastic about him.Zhu Su sincerely and apprehensively called him the Duke of the State, but he said he was obedient to his identity, and the two of them directly referred to them as brothers, starting from Lao Zhu's generation.Although Chang Mao occupies a high position, he has no heart like an ordinary rough man, and he can't even sit in a carriage, so he just rides a horse to guard Zhu Su's surroundings. Zhu Su is moved and treats him sincerely .

"Brother Chang, I did not write this poem." Hearing what Chang Mao said, Zhu Su could only explain. "This poem was written by the sage of the Tang Dynasty, Du Fu and Du Gongbu. It talks about the tragic situation of the people displaced during the war."

"Now my Ming Dynasty is thriving and prosperous, with a lot of waste waiting to be done, but it doesn't fit the tragic situation in the poem. That's why Monk Yao said that I recited this poem inappropriately. He was also afraid that I would use allusions indiscriminately and be laughed at."

"Poems from the Tang Dynasty?" Chang Mao didn't think he was disobedient. "It doesn't matter when he wrote the poem, it comes from your Highness, we always take it as your Highness's."

"It's just a pity that the one surnamed Du sang it first. I think there's no way to sing it like the song Xiao Kansha or something. Otherwise, today we will be able to enjoy the glory of His Highness, and in the mouths of those sisters It’s also good to talk about it a few times!”

Seeing that he was still thinking about his sister in Fuleyuan, Zhu Su couldn't help being amused.Don't answer this topic anymore, just turn your head and look into the distance.I saw that the round sun in the sky was already crimson, and the red clouds were all over the sky reflected on the rolling Yangtze River.Di Meng turned his horse's head and came to the side of the car and said, "Your Highness, it's getting late."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to enter the city today. Please show me where to camp, Your Highness."

"Oh?" Zhu Su raised his eyebrows.According to the original itinerary, there was no need for camping in the wild. It was all because I was greedy for the beautiful scenery on the road just now, which made the team follow a detour.Thinking about it like this brought a bit of self-blame on my face: "It's because I didn't think carefully just now. The brothers who killed me and Brother Chang lived in the wilderness together..."

"Brother Chang is an old man, and we should rely on you when we go out. Tell me, where should we stay tonight?"

Chang Mao was delighted to see that Zhu Su valued it so much.He had always endured hardships with his father Chang Yuchun, how could he be so particular about sleeping in the open when he went out?Hearing this, he laughed boldly and said: "Your Highness, you don't have to blame yourself. They will also live in the military camp when they enter the city. The simple military camp is similar to sleeping in the wilderness. It is better to find a place to camp by yourself, and you can get some wild fun. "

"I remember that there is a temple on the mountain ahead, and there is a source of water. If we don't camp outside the temple, your Highness, you can find a room in that temple to deal with it for the night, which is better than crowding together with the rough men in the army. Make do with it. How is it?"

His arrangement couldn't be more appropriate, and he took extra care of Zhu Su, so why would Zhu Su refuse?Dang even nodded in agreement.So while it was still dark, a group of chariots and horses headed towards the temple Chang Mao had mentioned.

By the time we got to the gate of the temple, it was getting dark.This temple is not very big, it looks quite dilapidated, and it is different from Bifeng Temple, which is rich in temples at first glance.Moreover, there are only two monks in the temple, one abbot and one young novice monk.The abbot in the temple was informed in advance by the explorer who had gone ahead, and the abbot waited for Zhu Su's arrival by the side of the road.

"Old man, I accidentally entered the city at the wrong time, so I'm bothering you." Seeing that the old man had kind eyes and kind eyes, and it was a treasured place to stay, Zhu Su also said kindly.

"The nobleman is here, and the monastery is full of splendor! There is no need to bother!" The old abbot clasped his hands together, seeing that Zhu Su also brought a monk Yao Guangxiao with him, he thought that this young nobleman was also a Buddhist, and even more so It looks like a treasure.

A large number of people built a fire outside the temple and Zhu Su led Di Meng and Chang Mao and others into the temple.Seeing that the old abbot was only carrying a young novice, Zhu Su couldn't help but wondered: "Old man, are you the only two of you, the old and the young, to take care of this Nuoda temple?"

"You are old now, don't you work hard?"

"Thank you for your mercy. In the Northern Yuan Dynasty when the lands were raging, except for the poor life of the old monk, the rest of the temple monks either starved to death or suffered from military chaos. It is a blessing that the old monk can still be ordered to serve the Buddha. "

"Besides, I still have this little apprentice, and a wandering monk who lives here to help with some mundane chores from time to time, but it's not too hard."
