First Prince of Ming Dynasty Chapter 588

  Chapter 588 Tianshi Mansion

  As long as this kind of people are clear-headed and have a little self-knowledge, most of them will not have any ambitious plans. Preserving wealth and enjoying happiness is the greatest pursuit. Judging from the current situation, only Daming can let him live this kind of life.

   Nahachu may still have ambitions, but this son is probably fed up with the bitterness, coldness and poverty in Liaodong. Zhu Biao gave him a garden tour and allowed him to have fun in Beijing, just to deepen his yearning for prosperity and wealth.

Zhu Biao patted him lightly on the shoulder and said softly: "It's good to know, your father is old, and this world is not what it used to be. Kaiyuan Kaiyuan, heh, he can't even hold back Li Chenggui from Korea, so why talk about it?" Kaiyuan?"

  Chahan's expression kept changing, and he was struggling and confused. He didn't know what to do now. He wanted to surrender. The capital was prosperous and magnificent, and the garden was beautiful, but his father's long-standing majesty still weighed on him.

   What's more, he knows that the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty in front of him is not enough to be trusted. The promise of the superior will only be kept when you are useful. Once the father and son hand over the military power, they are really just fish on the plate, with no guarantee at all.

Even though he yearns for wealth and honor, he is also afraid of dying from a sudden illness. Chahan's struggle is naturally seen by Zhu Biao, but he is not in a hurry to promise anything. On the contrary, it is easy to do bad things, and it is best to wait for him to figure it out.

  There is not much room for them to choose. Even if there is a risk, Daming is still their best choice. This is obvious. There is hope for surrendering early, but it will be a surrender under the pressure of the army if it is late.

  Zhu Biao flicked his sleeves and walked back to the superior position: "You go back first, and come to see Ben Gong after you think it over."

   Chahan breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly got up from the chair and bowed down, and then left under the guidance of Fugui. I am afraid that he will have trouble sleeping and eating these few days.

  Zhu Biao instructed Fuduo who was serving a new cup of tea: "Go to the inner city to pick some valuables and send them to the garden."

   "No."

  If you are strict with your mouth, you should be soft with your hands. This method is very old-fashioned, but its practicality is always as effective as ever, because human nature has always been like this.

"Come out."

A person walked out from behind a mountain and river screen on the side of the hall. It was Jiang Yu who was sent by Zhu Biao to walk around Fengyang a few days ago. later.

   "His Royal Highness, I see that this person is easy to handle, do you want the brothers to make some suggestions?"

   "Don't be too troublesome, you don't need to worry about Chahan's affairs, just keep an eye on Liaodong."

"Yes, on the way back to Beijing, I received a secret letter from the Liaodong spies. The leaders of the Jurchen Wudiha Huerka are willing to work for my Ming Dynasty. Once Naha makes any moves, he will report as quickly as possible. .”

  Zhu Biao nodded and said: "Try to win over, but you must not trust too much. After all, they are just barbarians and foreigners gathered for profit."

   "Wei Chen understands that he will never listen to his one-sided words. The secret agents of the pro-military captain's mansion have not been recalled because of this. Only by comparing and verifying the intelligence of the two parties will it be clear."

  Zhu Biao showed satisfaction, and immediately offered a seat and tea, Jiang Yu also thanked him with a sigh of relief, and accepted it. Being with a king is like a tiger, and it is true.

  Zhu Biao lifted his teacup and took a sip before asking, "You must be aware of what happened in Beijing, but you've heard something along the way."

  Jiang Yu Zhengse replied: "The gentry and scholars in the state capital gathered together to discuss politics arbitrarily, and there were complaints against the emperor and all the officials, and even..."

  Zhu Biao continued with a chuckle: "I even have resentment towards my palace. As a prince, he can't escape just because of the emperor's reprimand. Not pleading for the people is not the image of a wise king."

Zhu Biao waved his hand to appease Jiang Yu, who was about to stand up and plead guilty: "It's not surprising, I have expected it long ago, even my father and the emperor dare to talk nonsense, let alone talk about my palace, an article recruiting talents It's not enough to suppress Shihlin's dissatisfaction.”

Although Zhu Biao didn't inquire about the affairs of the court these days, rumors and gossip can still reach his ears. After all, nearly a hundred people in Beijing have resigned from office, and the resignation memorials of local state officials are also flooded. Jingzhong came.

As time went on, the storm became bigger and bigger, including the imperial court and the scholarly literary world. The dissatisfaction with the emperor's severe punishments against officials for many years was aroused at one time. Pass.

  The Ming Dynasty was too upright to establish the country and the country was too stable. Since the founding of the country, the country's fortune has been unstoppable like a rainbow, and it is precisely because of this that many remaining problems have been covered up.

Lao Zhu just didn't want to leave the problem to his son, so he took advantage of this time to attack, and let the pustules and sores left over from the troubled times of the Yuan Dynasty burst out all at once. Taking advantage of the time when Huaixi nobles are overwhelming the world.

   "By the way, is there any movement in Yanshenggong Mansion?"

"Yanshenggong's mansion is safe and prosperous, and none of the direct descendants speak out. I heard that hundreds of scholars went to ask Yanshenggong to come out of the mountain to give advice, but they were invited back by the servants of Yanshenggong's mansion before they entered the door. .”

Zhu Biao was not surprised by this at all. People in the world can't stop their mouths, but the mouths of one family can be controlled very well. The Kong family's ability to protect themselves is the best in the world. How can you not see that Daming is not like Qian Yuan generally urgently needs the support of the Kong family.

  The former Yan Sheng Gong Kong Kejian was old, weak and sick, and was forced by Emperor Zhu to sit in Beijing to accompany him.

  Now Yanshenggong Kong Xi is weak in academics, and his uncle is in charge of all affairs in Yanshenggong's mansion. With the power left behind, he indulges in wine and **** all day long, and often hosts banquets for guests, talking and laughing freely.

Jiang Yu glanced carefully at His Highness the Crown Prince, and then said: "Yan Sheng'an is peaceful, but Tianshi's Mansion is quite active, performing Taoism, throwing amulets to save suffering, and has a close relationship with the local gentry. It is heard that recently There are many anomalies."

Zhu Biao couldn't help laughing, Yan Shenggong didn't dare to make a fuss, but the Longhushan Tianshi Mansion was in full swing, probably because he was dissatisfied with the imperial court's suppression of monks and Taoism, and he didn't dare to speak out on weekdays, but now he took advantage of the chaos to show off own fame.

In Zhu Biao's eyes, Yansheng Kong's family is similar to Tianshi Zhang's family, both relying on their ancestors' old roots, Zhang's family is stronger than Kong's family, but it is not good, annexing fields and oppressing tenants, defrauding money invitations in the name of ghosts and gods There are many famous things to do.

  Religion can't escape these things. There are real people who are pure-hearted and ascetic, but there are more fake real people in Taoist robes. Real people may not be able to save the world, but fake real people can easily deceive one side.

   It's just that the Tianshi Mansion is not easy to start with, because in the sixth year of Longfeng, the Tianshi Zhang Normal of Longhushan once sent an envoy to write a note, presenting the amulet of "God will return" to Zhu Yuanzhang, the king of Wu.

The Taoist talisman is still kept in the inner pocket, and Zhu Biao has played with it casually, but he didn't feel the power of the destiny, but it did play a certain role at that time. The soldiers are still very prestigious.

This is the credit of love, so after the founding of the country, Zhu Yuanzhang awarded Zhang Tianshi the title of Zhengyi leader and Zhengyi heir to protect the country, explain the ancestors, uphold Taoism, and Hongde. The leader of Taoism in the south of the Yangtze River became the leader of all Taoism in the world.

  Of course, such a reward is also for strengthening the righteousness and eliminating the evil. The so-called evil is not only all kinds of obscene and evil gods found in all states and counties, but also those thieves who plan to incite believers to rebel, as well as the Quanzhen Sect.

The establishment of Quanzhen Sect was based on the Jin Dynasty. During the period of Jin Shizong and Jin Zhangzong, Liu Chuxuan and Qiu Chuji, the on-duty teachers of Quanzhen Sect, were specially summoned to preach for them. Approved, so he became a great teacher, close to Jin Shusong.

By the time of the rise of Mongolia, Quanzhen Sect became a very popular religion, and its influence in the Central Plains was very large. In order to disintegrate the Jin Kingdom from the inside, Mongolia and the Southern Song Dynasty wanted to win Quanzhen Sect over. In the end, Qiu Chuji chose Mongolia.

Quanzhen Sect was highly recognized by Genghis Khan. Genghis Khan exempted Qiu Chuji and his disciples from all duties and taxes, and ordered him to lead all Buddhists and Taoists in the Central Plains. However, after Mongolia conquered the Southern Song Dynasty, Quanzhen Sect lost its use value. The Dao Assembly suppressed the Quanzhen Sect.

After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the "Daming Xuanjiao Licheng Zhaijiao Ritual" promulgated directly stipulated that Quanzhen Sect should not participate in any political affairs, and could only focus on self-cultivation, and restricted its missionary activities. Quanzhen Sect fell into a state of disunity.

  So the prosperity of Longhushan Tianshifu is also supported by Lao Zhu, but using Tianshijiao to suppress other sects will not affect Lao Zhu's suppression of the entire religious system.

This is why Longhushan Tianshi Mansion is dissatisfied, why it chooses to show its presence at this time, those visions have not been revealed yet, is it auspicious or a bad omen, because Tianshi Mansion is waiting for the emperor to win over and appease .
