Linggu Temple is located east of Xuanwu Lake, west of the Xiaoling Mausoleum of Ming Dynasty, and the south slope of Zhongshan. It was built in the 13th year of Tianjian in the Southern Chao Dynasty (514). It was the "Kaishan Temple" built by Emperor Wu of Liang to commemorate the famous monk Zen Master Baozhi. It was originally named Kaishan Temple.

During the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang personally named "Linggu Zen Temple" and named it "the world's No. 1 Zen Forest", which was one of the three major Buddhist temples in the Ming Dynasty.

"Jinling Fan Temple Records" lists it as the Dabaoen Temple and Tianjie Temple as the Dasha Temple.

Zhao Ming, who was still in charge of the army, did not enter Nanjing or return to the vassal state, but moved into Linggu Temple.

This somewhat reflects Zhao Ming's mentality. If he had not been greedy for power, he would have been leading troops back to his country long ago.

Zhao Ming lived in Linggu Temple and acted as if he was not involved in the affairs of Nanjing, which won the favor of many ministers, believing that the King of Han was Guo Ziyi of the current dynasty.

Of course, this is mostly the result of Zhao Ming hiring someone to promote himself.

After Qian Qianyi arrived in Nanjing, he spent a lot of money and summoned officials and gentry in the court and the opposition to gather together almost every day. These people ate and took them, so they naturally had to talk to Zhao Ming.

This cannot deceive people who truly understand politics, but a large number of literati are willing to act as mouthpieces, which makes Zhao Ming almost completely control the public opinion in Nanjing and even Jiangnan.

In recent days, Zhao Ming has not really been away from Zhongshan, and there is no sign to avoid in Mayday.

He did not care about the government on the surface, but in fact, he asked Qian Qianyi to make friends with ministers and deliberately spread the news that he wanted to establish Gui.

Zhang Huangyan’s guess was not wrong. Zhao Ming did have two meanings. One was to threaten Zhu Yihai, hoping that he would be more aware of his circumstances and hand over the power to himself, so that Zhu Yihai could still retain the throne.

After all, Zhao Ming knew that it was not easy for Zhu Yihai to take the throne, and it was also a tear of bitterness.

Therefore, if Zhu Yihai could hand over power, Zhao Ming would still be willing to temporarily put away the card of King Gui.

However, after more than ten years of understanding, Zhao Ming knew that Zhu Yihai had the ambition to revive the Ming Dynasty, and it was also considered a talented and stubborn strategy, and it was impossible for him to be controlled by others.

Therefore, Zhao Ming did not have too much expectations for Zhu Yihai to hand over power, and even if Zhu Yihai wanted to hand over power, Zhao Ming had to think about it carefully.

Zhao Ming welcomed King Gui into Nanjing and asked Qian Qianyi to spread the news. The main purpose was to make Zhu Yihai feel in danger and make mistakes so that he could have reason to decree and enact.

At this time, in the wing room of Linggu Temple, Zhao Ming sat on the tuan pagoda, closing his eyes to rest.

"Your Highness, the news has spread, I'm just waiting for the city to move." Qian Qianyi smiled.

Zhao Ming closed his eyes, breathed and meditated, and then said lightly for a while: "Old Qian, be careful!"

Qian Qianyi was so moved that she burst into tears: "The old minister thanked Your Highness for your concern and wished to die for Your Highness."

Zhao Ming opened his eyes, wondering in his heart, what did he say, but with a word of advice, he moved the old man to this way.

Qian Qianyi is too unconventional and too flattering.

"If this matter is done, the Nanjing cabinet will have a position as a rich old man in the future!" Zhao Ming comforted.

Qian Qianyi was so happy when he heard this. He was almost eighty years old and cried like tears.

Qian Qianyi started a very high point, was born in Tanhua and became a leader of Donglin for a long time. His career should have been smooth sailing and rising to the top, but his officials were actually very bumpy.

The Donglin Party members defeated Wei Zhongxian. Qian Qianyi thought he could become a cabinet bachelor, but was dismissed and investigated by Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru. He left the officialdom for more than ten years. Later, Hongguang ascended the throne and became a minister of the Ministry of Rites.

Qian Qianyi, who was unwilling to join the cabinet and gain great power, made a mess and destroyed the Hongguang Dynasty, but he did not join the cabinet and finally became the prime minister.

Zhao Ming's promise made Qian Qianyi burst into tears.

At this time, the door of the Zen room suddenly opened, and Wang Shuang reported: "King, the eunuch in the palace came to announce the edict!"

When Zhao Ming heard the sound, he was stunned and turned his head to ask Qian Qianyi, "Old Qian, are you sure Wu Shi will enter the palace with Fang Fengnian?"

Qian Qianyi hurriedly stopped and wiped his face, "Master, I can be sure!"

Zhao Ming couldn't help frowning. Since Zhu Yihai received the news, with his personality, he would never be willing to hand over power, and he would definitely take action.

"Let the messenger come in!" Zhao Ming said in a deep voice: "Say this King Ranji is in the bed!"

Wang Shuang bowed out, Qian Qianyi hurriedly hid behind the screen, while Zhao Ming walked in the middle, ran into the inner room, took off his outer robe and lay on the bed.

Soon, footsteps sounded outside, and a eunuch with a pale face and a kind-hearted expression was taken in.

This eunuch is Zhu Yihai's confidant. Zhao Ming has seen him several times. When he saw Zhao Ming lying on the bed, his face showed an unexpected look, he couldn't help but say in surprise: "Your Highness, is this?"

Zhao Ming reluctantly supported himself and smiled miserably, "I was caught in the cold wind! What's the matter with Eunuch Guo coming?"

"According to the order of Your Majesty, I will come and summon Your Highness to the palace to discuss politics." Eunuch Guo said.

When Zhao Ming heard the words, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. After a while, he said: "I would like to report back to Your Majesty, I am exhausted and inconvenient to discuss matters. Your Majesty is determined by your Majesty, and there is no need to ask me!"

Eunuch Guo has also seen the world. A man like the King of Han is like an iron tower. He can be sick if he says he is sick, let alone Zhao Ming doesn’t look like he is sick.

However, Zhao Ming is the King of Han. He said that he was sick and Eunuch Guo could not expose it in person.

"Your Highness is fighting on the battlefield, strong and healthy, like a tiger. Why did you return to Nanjing but suddenly get sick?" Eunuch Guo could only question a little.

Zhao Ming said, "It is because I am idle that I am not careful to get sick. Please tell Your Majesty that I cannot enter the palace!"

Eunuch Guo looked embarrassed, but he could not drag the King of Han up. He was silent for a moment and could only bow, "Since that's the case, please ask Your Highness to take good care of his illness!"

After saying that, Eunuch Guo stopped stopping and left in a hurry.

As soon as Zhao Ming and others left, they sat up from the bed, and their whole face immediately became extremely gloomy.

At this time, Qian Qianyi had already come out again and called softly: "Your Highness?"

Zhao Ming took back his senses and said in anger: "The Emperor wants to kill me!"

Zhao Ming thought Zhu Yihai would attack Qian Qianyi and King Gui, but he didn't expect that he wanted to kill him directly and capture the thief directly to capture the king first.

Qian Qianyi said: "Your Highness should have such an enlightenment."

Zhao Ming looked up at Qian Qianyi, and then sneered on his face, "It's good. Gu's most worried is that Zhu Yihai will ride a chariot like Cao Mao. In this case, Gu really doesn't know how to end it."

"If this is the case, it will indeed damage Your Highness's reputation. However, the powerful generals under Your Highness are like clouds and the counselors are like rain. Isn't there no Jia Chong?" Qian Qianyi said.

Zhao Ming shook his head, "I don't want to be Sima!" Then he said in a deep voice: "I guess Zhu Yihai has sent someone to find King Gui. Mr. Qian immediately asked someone to welcome King Gui to Linggu Temple and release the news that King Gui and King Gui meet at Linggu Temple!"
