Zhu Yuanzhang visited the Taoist temple, and the female Taoist priest asked for service. The next day, he was killed.
In 1369, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, followed the tradition of returning to his hometown and honoring his ancestors in fine clothes, and returned to his hometown Fengyang Mansion. On this journey back to his hometown and province, Zhu Yuanzhang passed through Chuzhou, and an amazing thing happened.
Chuzhou has a special significance for Zhu Yuanzhang, because this is his earliest base, so he stayed here for a few more days to understand the local people's livelihood.
In the process of communicating with the people, Zhu Yuanzhang learned that there is a temple and a view on Langya Mountain, Tianxiang Temple is full of incense, and Diyang Temple is a door.
Zhu Yuanzhang had doubts in his heart and decided to go to Diyang to view a ** event, but the minister next to him was puzzled and asked why he didn't go to Tianxiang Temple, where incense was flourishing. However, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care about the temple's vigorous incense, but was curious about why no one cared about the Diyang Temple.
After half an hour's journey, in the evening, Zhu Yuanzhang and his party arrived at Diyang Temple. A young Dao aunt opened the door to greet them, and when she saw a few men, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she directly invited them in without even asking.
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang stepped into the gate of the Taoist temple, he was stopped by a female Taoist with an elegant temperament and a graceful posture. She bowed deeply and said softly: "Poor Dao Lingyunzi, I don't know if the donor is here, please forgive me for the rudeness." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly and responded: "Daoist is polite, I'm just curious about the coldness of your Taoist temple. Why is it that the temple next to it is full of incense and people come and go, but you are so deserted here? ”
Ling Yunzi pondered for a moment and replied: "The donor doesn't know anything, the current emperor advocates Buddhism, and the people also believe in Buddhism. In contrast, the monks of Tianxiang Temple like to give fortune telling to people and deceive the people, which is why their temples are so lively.
And our Taoist temple has always kept a low profile and adhered to tranquility. Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in understanding. Ling Yunzi said again: "If the donor is in need, Poor Dao can let ** prepare incense for you." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head with a smile and said, "No need, I just want to enjoy the scenery quietly here." ”
The scale of the buildings in this temple is not large, but the architectural design of each hall is very exquisite. A large number of potted plants are planted in the temple, and the spring sun is shining, which makes it particularly fresh and elegant.
At night, the female Taoist chief personally invited Zhu Yuanzhang and several of them to have a fast meal, and invited them to stay in the Guannei. In the process of eating, Zhu Yuanzhang found that Lingyunzi had changed into a secular dress, and lightly applied powder, which looked very beautiful and moving.
This made Zhu Yuanzhang a little upset, he hurriedly drank a few sips of tea to control his emotions, and found an excuse to go back to his room to rest. Late at night, a bewitching figure quietly slipped into Zhu Yuanzhang's room, and never came out again.
It wasn't until the next morning that Zhu Yuanzhang found out that Lingyunzi was beside him, he was taken aback and asked, "Why are you in my room?" Ling Yunzi smiled and said, "Your Majesty is really a noble person, how forgetful!"
You should remember what happened last night. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment and asked, "You call me Your Majesty, how do you know my identity?" Ling Yunzi replied, "Your Majesty has a gold medal hidden in his clothes. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang had an epiphany, but he heard Ling Yunzi say: "Now that I am Your Majesty's person, can you take me back to the capital and give me the position of a concubine?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked up at her, with a terrifying chill, but Ling Yunzi didn't notice it.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "It's very easy, I went to Beijing this time to visit relatives in Fengyang." You wait here for a few days, and I'll send someone to pick you up when I get back. Ling Yunzi smiled all over her face, chatted with Zhu Yuanzhang for a few more words before leaving, and when she just went out, Zhu Yuanzhang's face sank.
He called one of the guards and roared, "After I leave, you mobilize the officers and soldiers of the guard and kill her immediately!" None of them here, all of them will be put to death! ”
Zhu Yuanzhang returned to his hometown and province, but in fact, he took the opportunity to investigate the ** filthy officials and bandits and robbers in various places. In Diyangguan, Zhu Yuanzhang learned about the evil deeds of this group of Taoist priests who killed people and sold goods and tried to make money, and the people avoided them.
Lingyunzi was fortunate to see Zhu Yuanzhang in the capital, and recognized him at a glance, in order to clear his name, he used a beauty trick. But Zhu Yuanzhang's purpose is not just to kill people and kill people, but to eradicate these bandits and protect the people.
How could Zhu Yuanzhang be so easily deceived? Last night, Ling Yunzi had ** in the meal, but he didn't reveal it immediately, just pretended to be asleep, so as not to startle the snake.
He sent his guards to secretly search for evidence, and it was not until the morning that he received conclusive evidence that he ordered their secret execution.
