Zhu Yi murmured: "Grandfather Taizu had foreseen today long ago, no wonder Grandfather Emperor wanted to become a monk. Before he became a monk, he said that the Zhu family's world is not a blessing but a curse..."
"..."
Xu Qing immediately retorted, not pleased: "Did Zhu Qian become a monk to dispel karma? If your Grandfather Taizu had not been ambitious, the Zhu family lineage would have ended long ago!"
"Don't get too comfortable and hypocritical!"
"As for your grandfather..." Xu Qing recalled Zhu Qian hiding in Gujue Temple, spending his days eating vegetarian and reciting Buddhist scriptures, praying for Buddha's protection, and said bluntly: "He's just afraid of death!"
When Zhu Qian was still Emperor, he once asked about the Zhu family's divine retribution at Gujue Temple's Chen Liu'Er.
At that time, Chen Liu'Er, a great mage of the nation, pointed Zhu Qian to a non-solution: abandoning everything to become a monk to dissolve karmic obstacles and prolong life.
