Chapter 150 Dao Yan
Zhu Biao smiled after hearing this, the Kaiping Palace is naturally not short of money, not to mention that this is preparing a dowry for the princess, I am afraid that Chang Yuchun would like to empty out his own family, and let Chang Luohua marry into the East Palace in a glorious manner.
Liu Jin continued: "I heard that the most famous craftsmen in the south of the Yangtze River were specially made to make some objects, which are extremely precious."
Zhu Biao nodded, but he didn't think much of it. He didn't have the energy to care about such trivial matters, but he still asked, "What's going on in the harem?"
Liu Jin returned: "The Empress has already rewarded the Kaiping Palace three times, and sent a lot of things. The Princess Kaiping also entered the palace to thank her, and the other concubines also sent gifts to add to the box."
Zhu Biao talked to Liu Jin again and then went back to sleep. He spent a lot of energy today, and he has to meet Yao Guangxiao tomorrow.
Early the next morning, Zhu Biao got up and walked around a few times, and then went directly to the temple where the monks were received after finishing his breakfast.
A group of people arrived at the place in a mighty manner. The door was already full of eminent monks and great virtues who came to welcome His Highness the Prince.
It may be because he knows that Zhu Yuanzhang, an old colleague, does not accept this kind of trick. If he does not kowtow to his son, he may not be able to use this good head in the future.
After they saluted, Zhu Biao politely helped up the old monk at the front: "It's been hard work for all the eminent monks coming from afar, let's talk about it inside."
The old monk looked kindly, got up slowly and replied: "Although we are outsiders, we are also citizens of the Ming Dynasty. We should serve the imperial court. Your Highness is welcome."
Zhu Biao led them into the house and started a friendly conversation. I have to say that these monks gave Zhu Biao a good feeling, and they didn't fight with him. They were completely obedient to orders.
However, it is not difficult to understand that the Yuan Dynasty's attitude towards religion was inclusive and open. Whether the people under its rule believed in Buddhism, Taoism or Christianity, they would not control it if it did not affect its rule.
After all, belief is a difficult thing to deal with, but Mongolian high-level people believe in shamanism and Tibetan Buddhism, which is a big blow to Buddhism in the Central Plains. After all, Buddhism in the Central Plains has too many precepts, which are not suitable for Mongolians on horseback.
So they finally hoped that Mongolia would be repulsed, and it was their old colleagues who did it. They were expecting Buddhism to return to the orthodox position of the Central Plains religion, but they did not expect to usher in a series of blows.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang was a monk, he didn’t live well in the temple, so he didn’t have much affection for Buddhism. The monks had already seen this situation, so they obediently obeyed the emperor’s orders.
Religion, if they don’t get the support of the highest rulers of the empire, then they don’t want to develop. If they can meet fanatics like Emperor Wu of Liang Xiao Yan again, the prosperity of Buddhism is just around the corner.
The old monks talked with Zhu Biao for more than half an hour. Looking at His Royal Highness, whose eyes were calm and calm, the old monks sighed in their hearts, and they were another hard-hearted superior.
Zhu Biao saw that it was almost done, so he didn't want to waste any more time. He had no opinion on religion, and its existence had certain meaning, especially for the low-level people, whose life was extremely difficult. Rely on them, then they are no different from the walking dead.
Of course, suppression is inevitable, but the effect will not be too great. Those small cults are hard to eliminate completely, let alone Buddhism and Taoism, two religions that are deeply rooted in China.
To put it bluntly, it is not a bad thing for a Buddhist to be big. He has a complete system, which means that the court can supervise him in general. As the saying goes, a monk can't run away from the temple.
When it comes to Taishang Daluo, Tianxian, Ziji, Longevity, Zhizhao, Lingtong, Sanyuan Zheng, Ying Yuxu, Director of Wulei Dazhen, Xuandujing, Emperor Wanshou, and Emperor Jiajing, Taoism regains the upper hand.
To be honest, Zhu Biao felt inexplicably that the cultivation of immortals in Jiajing had achieved some results. Since Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, the two emperors with excellent health, the seven consecutive emperors of Ming Dynasty died at the age of 30 or 40, and their average life expectancy was only 35. At the age of fifty-nine, the Jiajing family took pills every day and lived to fifty-nine.
Zhu Biao glanced at the monk at the back. He looked in his early thirties, but he was already the youngest among this group of monks.
Zhu Biao picked up his teacup and glanced at the officials of the Ministry of Rites standing beside him, and saw that he stood up and greeted all the eminent monks, and those monks were also human beings, so he naturally knew that His Highness did not want to talk to them anymore.
Only the middle-aged monk at the end did not move. The officials of the Ministry of Rites glanced at Zhu Biao, saw that he did not express anything, and followed him out.
Zhu Biao stood up and walked to the monk, and then he had the opportunity to treat the monk Daoyan well. He saw that the eyes of this man were triangular, and his body was a little thin like a sick tiger, but there was a monk's unique compassion on his body breath.
Seeing Zhu Biao get up and walk in front of him, the monk also got up and bowed deeply with his hands clasped together, and said: "My little monk Daoyan sees His Royal Highness the Prince."
Zhu Biao didn't respond either. He walked back to his superior position and sat down, looked at Dao Yancai who kept bowing and said, "I heard that you possess the art of chaos. I don't know if it's true."
Dao Yan trembled when he heard this, and returned: "The little monk learned the yin and yang art from the Taoist Xi Yingzhen, but he is just a little Daoer, so there is no art for troubled times."
Zhu Biao looked at him and said: "It is useful for me to come to you. Are you willing to work for me?"
Dao Yan groaned in his heart, he never revealed his ability, how could he be targeted by the crown prince, now it is very difficult to escape.
Dao Yan knelt on the ground and said: "The little monk is from outside the country, and His Highness is the prince of the country. There are many outstanding people under his command, so why do you need the little monk to serve you?"
Zhu Biao smiled and said: "I intend to intervene in the political situation of Goryeo, and I plan to let you go to sit in the town. It just so happens that the power of Goryeo is in the hands of a monk. I think you should get in touch with each other better."
Dao Yan no longer shirked, bowed his head and said: "How can the little monk He De be entrusted with such a heavy responsibility by His Royal Highness, how dare you not follow suit!"
Zhu Biao nodded, he knew that Yao Guangxiao was a smart man, and now that Zhu Biao had told him his plan, if he still dared to shirk it, he would die.
Daoyan also has no choice. How can he, a young monk, refuse the power of the crown prince. If he offends the prince, no one in the world can keep him except the emperor, but how can the emperor lose the face of the prince.
Under the situation of unification of the world, Zhu Biao longs for talents, but he will never visit the cottage like Liu Bei and sincerely beg for talents. Zhu Biao is the prince of the world, and it is natural for the people under his rule to serve the king. How can there be any conditions? Speak, unless you want to rebel!
Zhu Biao looked at Dao Yan and said: "If you do well, I will never be stingy with glory and wealth. Although you are an outsider, you don't want to waste your talent and learning when you think about it."
