my brother-in-law is the prince

Chapter 273 Congratulations Your Majesty
Chapter 273: Congratulations Your Majesty
Chen Li's heart skipped a beat when he heard about the great contribution.

He believes that Zhang Anshi will definitely not fool him, but... the great achievements in the history must have great risks.

In the past dynasties, the great achievements were given to the dead, such as Zhang Fu's father Zhang Yu.

But Chen Li was only a little dazed, but still said: "Yes, I'll arrange for him to come."

Zhang Anshi immediately said: "From now on, all plans must be kept extra secret. We only take the Buddha father and Buddha mother. Other than that, it is these backbones."

While talking, Zhang Anshi stroked the copybook and said in a deep voice: "Time is running out, call him immediately."

An hour later, Chen Daowen came.

He looked mediocre, and he seemed very simple and honest. Zhang Anshi talked with him for a while, and it was true that this guy was just as he had imagined, a safe person.

Immediately gave some instructions, Chen Daowen remembered them all.

Although he didn't know why Zhang Anshi arranged and arranged it like this, he didn't ask any questions. It belonged to the mentality that it doesn't matter if I have a brain or not as long as I am diligent enough.

That's all Zhang Anshi explained, and said with a smile: "After an hour, you will set off, and I will arrange the rest of the things for you. Just do as I said, and there will be a little bit of danger if you go here. Later Son, come and have a meal with me, and I wish you the best of luck."

Chen Daowen said excitedly, "Thank you, Lord."

Jinyiwei has rules, all military officers above the general banner are promoted, after reporting the list, Zhang Anshi will check the other party's achievements and qualifications, as well as the person's background and so on.

Once you pass this level, there is another interview.

That is, the person needs to come to see Zhang Anshi. Although the process of meeting is very simple, Zhang Anshi may not say a few words, but just casually ask about his life, or some opinions on Wei Li, or even a few words, Also dismissed.

But even so, this is a big deal for low-level military officers.Almost everyone hoped to leave a good impression in front of Zhang Anshi.

After the meeting, Zhang Anshi will probably issue a promotion order, and he can only take office once the order is issued.

This approach is actually a kind of investigation by Zhang Anshi, to see if there are some people who can get special attention from among the low-level military officers.

After all, seeing is believing.

In addition, this also strengthened the centripetal force of the entire Jinyiwei.

Under normal circumstances, low-level military officers are extremely unfamiliar with such a high-ranking figure like Zhang Anshi.

This form of seeing is enough to impress them, although it may not be just a few words, there will be no gratitude, but at least they know that Wei Guogong is not far away from them.

Power is from top to bottom, but in fact it is also from bottom to top, especially in this Ming Dynasty, how many local parents and officials who came from Jinshi were fooled by those small officials at will after they arrived in the local area?
Each of them has been an official for a few years, but they can't do anything except earn a lot of money. This is actually the reason.

Under normal circumstances, if someone is about to be promoted to an official position with more than a hundred households, or is about to perform a particularly dangerous task, Zhang Anshi not only wants to see him, but also wants to keep him for a meal.

After eating this meal, it almost foretells that this person may be on the way to prosperity, of course, the premise is that this person must be alive.

After Zhang Anshi took office, there was still an unwritten rule in Jinyiwei, that is, subordinates were not allowed to pay their superiors for dinner, but the superiors were allowed to treat their subordinates.

The food for this meal is very simple, just a few dishes, and there is a big bone soup. Chen Daowen ate very cautiously. In fact, he was in a very complicated mood. He knew what he was about to face, but he also had an inexplicable longing for the future. .

Although his uncle is Chen Li, but Chen Li is very cautious in doing things, but he dare not promote his own nephew.

On the one hand, he was afraid that the subordinates would gossip, and on the other hand, he was afraid of arousing Zhang Anshi's resentment.

But now, the opportunity has come.

Zhang Anshi asked several members of his family.

Chen Daowen said: "Except for a few uncles, there are only five people in the family. My father died early, and I have four brothers and sisters. My elder sister is married. I have two younger brothers, one of whom is working in a bank, and the other is in a government school. "

Zhang Anshi smiled amiably and said, "It's about the same as me."

Chen Daowen lowered his head to eat, not knowing how to respond.

Zhang Anshi said: "What do you think about this mission?"

"Although Humble has never done any business, but because he has a brother who works in the bank, he also has some knowledge about business. As long as other people can cooperate, Humble is quite confident, but he is worried..."

Zhang Anshi smiled and said, "Worried that the other party won't take the bait?"

Chen Daowen nodded.

Zhang Anshi said: "Don't worry, since I let you go, then there must be something for me, as long as you don't show your cheating feet, you will definitely take the bait."

Chen Daowen said: "Humble..."

"From now on, you must be proficient, and don't always be humble."

Chen Daowen hurriedly said, "Yes."

Zhang Anshi had almost eaten, got up, wiped his mouth and said, "Let's go."

Chen Daowen stood up, respectfully said: "Be humble."

He has the air of never looking back, and the complicated emotions before have been swept away. The only thing he has to do now is to survive and accomplish what Zhang Anshi told him.

…………

In a Taoist temple,

This Taoist temple is located deep in the mountains and looks extremely inconspicuous.

Someone rushed to this place on a galloping horse, and was picked up immediately, and arrived here after turning around.

The man passed through many palaces, and then came to a cave in the back mountain of the Taoist temple.

In this cave, incense is lingering, it seems that three steps, one post and five steps, one sentry.

There are Taoists along the way.

It's just that these Taoists seem to be carrying weapons.

After entering the cave, I saw an old woman sitting cross-legged on a white lotus-shaped futon, as if resting in meditation.

The man bowed down and said, "I have seen the Buddha's mother."

Mother Buddha looked like an ordinary old woman, but she only raised her eyelids and glanced at this man without saying a word.

But this person also waited patiently, he knew the rules, he would not pay attention to him until the Buddha father came.

It's just that the Buddha mother raised her eyes and took a look, and the nearby Taoists all bowed when they saw this, and quit the huge cave.

"Come with me."

The Buddha's mother stood up, holding Fushen in her hand, as if she had no thoughts and no self, and her voice was extraordinarily cold.

The man nodded, stood up quickly, and followed the Buddha mother into the depths of the cave step by step.

This cave is huge and seems to have undergone special repairs.

The deeper you go, because it is a cave, so if there is a slight sound, the sound will spread.

Along the way, there are mostly magic tools and various golden statues of gods, with angry and ferocious eyes, or pure and peaceful.

The deep voice began to come out.

It seems that someone is chanting.

The scriptures read are jerky and difficult to understand.

But at the same time, there was also a woman's wailing.

The sound of chanting became more and more intense, and the woman's wailing became more and more sad.

The Buddha's mother called out: "Is the Dharma done?"

This sound suddenly interrupted the sound of chanting in the depths of the cave.

Only the woman was left sobbing faintly.

After a long time, the master who recited scriptures came out slowly wearing a Taoist robe like a lotus flower.

He supported the ups and downs, showing a tired look, and seemed a bit exhausted.

The man put on a calm and inactive appearance, and said: "These three women have too many obstacles."

After all, he took a long breath.

The Buddha's mother said: "The big things are important, but you still don't forget how to do it."

The person who was talking to him was obviously a Buddha father, but this Buddha father looked compassionate and sighed: "Hey, I don't want to ruin my cultivation, but these three daughters have too many obstacles. Their parents I have always been pious, and I have repeatedly prayed to this fairy, this fairy has the virtue of loving life, how can I not help them?"

The Buddha father looked decadent, walked a few steps, let the boy beside him support him, and then reluctantly sat down cross-legged on the futon.Opening his eyes, he looked towards Humanity and said, "Is there any news in the middle?"

"Several Taoists in Zhongdu, after learning the decree of the Shangxian, acted immediately, carrying gunpowder, and blew up a hall of worship in the imperial mausoleum of Zhongdu, and destroyed many spiritual seats in the hall..."

"Okay!" The Buddha's father said happily: "Tell them, this time they have made great achievements, and in the future they will go to the fairy world and receive wealth and honor for ten lives."

"Yes."

The Buddha said again: "Since you are here, that's even better. When you return to the central capital, you will pass through Nanjing, and then pass on the will of the immortal, and order Taoists from all states and counties to meet together on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Wuzi year. Rise."

"Zhu Ming has no way. God can't bear to see the people of the world being tortured by him. The decree has been issued to me. I, the White Lotus Sect, should punish Zhu Ming. I will teach the Bailian priests in all states and counties to prepare themselves. When Zhu Ming is swept away, Then the world will be peaceful.”

After listening to the Buddha's mother, she frowned slightly, but she still stood quietly by the side without saying a word.

The man said: "Yes."

"You have worked hard." The Buddha father seemed to feel that his body had recovered a little. He got up, looked at the people and said, "I will give you the talisman water to increase your life by ten years. After eating the talisman water, go down the mountain immediately."

Hearing this, the man immediately burst into tears of gratitude, tears streaming down his face, he was so excited that he couldn't control himself, and kowtowed: "Thank you for your blessing, thank you for your blessing."

He seemed to be insane, beating his head so that it was covered in blood.

The Buddha father only smiled, but his eyes did not fall on him.

After the man kowtowed, he walked out on his knees, and then he left excitedly.

At this time, only the Buddha father, the Buddha mother, and a boy who served the Buddha father were left here.

The Buddha's mother said: "Why is there another problem, and you want to make a big event? Zhu Ming still has an army of millions, and Zhu Di is no ordinary person. If you really want to make a big event, although our manpower is all over the world, there are countless people, but we can face officials. Army, how is the opponent?"

The Buddha father smiled and said: "You don't understand this. Originally, the immortal and Zhu Di lived in peace, and they did not interfere with each other. He was his emperor, and I was my immortal. But now, he wants to suppress me. That’s when you have to take action.”

He sat down cross-legged again, and said: "Don't look at our disciples who claim to be in the millions, but besides the hundreds of cronies in this cave, and the backbone of Taoist Bailian from various states and counties, how many of them are really willing to die for us? [-], [-]? What if it’s [-]? What worries me most now is not that the dog-legged Emperor Zhu Di is suppressing my White Lotus Sect, but that they will adopt a gentle strategy!"

"If Huairou only punishes you and me as the chief villain, and doesn't care about the rest, even those Taoists may have their own ghosts, but if someone wavers and sells you, what should we do?"

"Because of this, I taught Liu Daoren to organize people to attack Zhu Ming's ancestral tomb in Zhongdu first. This has two advantages. One is to cut off the dragon veins of the Zhu family first, so that everyone in the world will know that the Zhu family is exhausted. The second is to anger Zhu Di and teach him to kill. His ancestral grave was dug up, and under his rage, he had to arrest our disciples everywhere and kill people to vent his anger..."

Speaking of this, the Buddha said with a smile: "The more he kills, the better, [-], [-]... Even if he kills a million people. But we still have millions of believers, but this killing, The disciples know that they have sinned deeply, and if they fall into the hands of the officers and soldiers, they will surely die without a burial, you see, shouldn’t they be determined to follow us against the light?”

"There are also those backbones in the states and counties. A few days ago, they must have been unstable. Now that Zhu Ming's ancestral tomb has been dug, they dare not think about the future, because they know that the digging of Zhu Ming's ancestral tomb Even if the imperial court issued an order to appease them, they did not dare to trust the imperial court, fearing that they would settle accounts in the future."

"If you don't teach them fear, they won't be devoted to you." The Buddha said: "Under fear, they are willing to donate more money and do more... But, the only thing I worry about is What's more, although Zhu Di was dug up his ancestral grave, although he was furious at this time, he will wake up in a few days, and it is not a good thing for him to wake up. This is why he called the world and taught everyone to prepare for trouble."

"This matter will definitely be reported to the imperial court. Once there are rebels in all states and counties, think about it. At this time, can Zhu Di still sit still? This is not just a question of digging graves, it is about losing the country. When the time comes, the officers and soldiers of the world must try their best to suppress the bandits."

"What's the benefit of all the officials and troops in the world suppressing my White Lotus Sect?" The Buddha's mother frowned, with a look of worry in her eyes.

The Buddha smiled and said: "This is of great benefit. In the past dynasties, there have only been more and more thieves, because once the army is dispatched, the army will not distinguish right from wrong, and will inevitably commit crimes everywhere. Wherever they pass, not a blade of grass will grow. We will secretly order the members of the White Lotus Sect everywhere to falsely accuse people of being members of the White Lotus Sect. At that time, I don’t know how many ordinary people will die. The more people die, the more refugees will be. The world will be in chaos. If the people can’t survive, they will believe you even more my words!"

"My White Lotus Sect can not only take advantage of this to attract many disciples, but also take advantage of the fact that the officers and soldiers are exhausted to suppress thieves, gather people and attack government offices and county offices. This world...isn't it like it was at the end of the Yuan Dynasty?" , Is the fire starting a prairie fire?"

After listening to the Buddha's mother, she thought about it.

There was joy on the Buddha's face: "You might say, I can be the emperor, and you can be the queen."

The Buddha's mother said: "We are already immortals, what are we doing as emperor and empress?"

But the Buddha laughed and said, "Have you been fooling others for a long time, and you also fooled yourself?"

The Buddha's mother said: "Stop clearing the demonic barriers for those women. If this continues, your body may not be able to take it anymore."

The Buddha father said lightly: "If I don't do anything, their parents will have to cry every day. I am teaching them to feel at ease."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand, glanced at him and smiled, looked at the boy beside him and said, "Do you think what you said just now is good?"

The boy said, "Okay."

"What a good boy." Buddha father patted his head: "I will give you a pill, after you eat it, you can ascend to heaven."

After finishing speaking, he took out a red pill from his sleeve.

The boy said with some hesitation: "I...I..."

But still take it.

The Buddha father said with a pleasant expression: "Hurry up, eat it, you will be the same as your parents and your sisters."

Under the smiling eyes of the Buddha, the boy finally ate the red pill.

Not long after, his face turned purple, and he clutched his neck, as if he couldn't breathe.

But the Buddha's father didn't look at him anymore, and only told the Buddha's mother: "Take care of it, don't let the filth contaminate the cave. I'll go and see if their demonic obstacles have been cleared."

Saying that, Father Buddha went to the deepest part of the cave without looking back.

The boy began to vomit desperately, first he vomited the food in his stomach, and then he vomited blood.

He grabbed Buddha's mother in embarrassment, and said in his mouth: "It hurts, I hurt... vomit..."

The Buddha mother only looked at him coldly: "It will be fine in a while, what a pity, you are only new here for seven days."

The boy then clutched his stomach, rolled in the filth, and finally... kicked his legs and stopped moving.

…………

The entire capital city was under a tense atmosphere for more than a month.

Several state princes were divided into Beiping, Sichuan, Guanzhong and other places.

In the Mansion of the Governor of the Five Armies, only Marquis Wu An sits in charge.

The so-called good news and bad news came frequently.

The good news is, how many thieves will be taken today from the White Lotus Sect.

The bad news is that more members of the White Lotus Sect have appeared, and there are even signs of raiding the government.

Jin Yiwei has already begun to investigate everywhere, but the effect is not obvious.

Fortunately, with Dongchang in front of the thunderstorm, everyone acted more cautiously. Although there were many attacks, there were not many casualties.

The Warriors Battalion dispatched one to Zhongdu.

And the command of the local guard in Fengyang, the central capital, and thousands of households, all investigated and dealt with, and the eunuchs inside were also screened again.

Under this chilling atmosphere, rumors are everywhere.

Fortunately, after Zhu Di was furious, he still maintained the last trace of calmness.

Although a lot of people were arrested and the rosters were sent to Zhu Di one by one, Zhu Di still didn't choose to commit. He only took a deep breath, picked up the ink pen, and put it down again.

Yishiha seems to be extra careful these days.

At this time, Zhu Di sighed and said: "Zhao Wenyuan Pavilion and the ministers of various ministries, let's discuss it again. The three thousand ninety-four thousand white lotus remnants captured... how to deal with it."

Yi Shiha said: "The servant obeys the order."

Zhu Di said, "What do they think?"

Yi Shiha thought for a while and said: "Only Wei Guogong... said he hoped to be pardoned, and the rest..."

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows and said, "What about the rest?"

"They all said they wanted the death penalty to serve as an example to others."

Zhu Di frowned and said, "Really? What's your opinion?"

Yi Shiha dared to say with trepidation: "This servant also thinks that the death penalty should be imposed."

Zhu Di said, "Why?"

Yi Shiha was very careful and said: "My servant is actually the same as Wei Guogong in my heart. I know that killing them all will not solve the problem. There are as many religious people in the world as a cow's hair. Can they be killed cleanly? But the big guys dare not say pardon , because the White Lotus Sect is too presumptuous, to actually dare... to dare to presumptuously in the imperial mausoleum of Zhongdu, it is really audacious. Everyone is worried that if a pardon is proposed at this time, His Majesty will be angered, and even..."

Zhu Di understood that at this time, it was no longer a matter of how to solve the problem, it involved a big issue of right and wrong.

You can't say, Your Majesty, it doesn't matter if the ancestral grave is dug up, Your Majesty, let me see.

Who knows if Zhu Di will give you a set meal to punish the three clans.

Zhu Di said, "Why did Zhang An Shi propose a pardon?"

Yi Shiha said without even thinking about it: "Because Duke Wei is bold, besides that, His Majesty also trusts him, not to mention... he is still the prince's wife and younger brother. In His Majesty's heart, no matter what Duke Wei says or does , there will never be other intentions."

"The Sophon is suspicious of his neighbor?" Zhu Di asked back.

Yi Shiha said: "Yes."

Zhu Di sighed faintly, and said: "These days, I can't sleep all the time, and I feel sorry for my ancestors, hey... I'm not worthy."

As Zhu Di spoke, he sighed heavily again, his eyes a little red: "Emperor Taizu Gao has a knowledge under the spring, I can't even protect my own ancestors, teach them how to rest in peace, hey..."

He shook his head with a face full of self-blame.

Yi Shiha looked at Zhu Di, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty, I just heard that... there are many nursery rhymes in the capital..."

Zhu Di raised his eyes and said, "What nursery rhyme?"

"What are you talking about, on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Wuzi year, the White Lotus Sect will meet to revolt, and the world will move."

After hearing this, Zhu Di opened his eyes slightly, and a trace of murderous intent flashed across them...

His face became grim again.

Zhu Di has always had a bad temper, which may have been inherited from Emperor Taizu Gao.

As the emperor, he has already suppressed his temper very much. Even after digging his ancestors' graves, he still maintains a semblance of reason after being extremely angry.

But now, he couldn't hold back anymore.

He is like a tiger, being teased again and again until the tiger insists on showing its fangs.

Zhu Di said: "It seems that they want to follow the way of Taiping."

Yishiha said: "It's just a nursery rhyme..."

"No." Zhu Di shook his head and said, "This is not as simple as a nursery rhyme..."

Yi Shiha said with a bit of worry: "Your Majesty..."

With a cold expression on his face, Zhu Di went back to sitting down in front of the imperial case, and brought up the vermilion pen, which was hanging on the list below.

Drops of red ink began to trickle down.

Zhu Di's hands trembled slightly.

He is used to using force to solve problems.

Since he chose to use force, right now... the thousands of congregants who have been arrested are traitors.

It's just...to kill so many people personally, how many people will be implicated in it...?
At this moment, a eunuch suddenly stepped in and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Zhu Di looked up.

The eunuch said: "Nanzhen Fusi...Nanzhen Fusi... got entangled with people and horses. In addition, the Model Battalion was also dispatched."

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows and said, "Why?"

"Grand Wei reported that the thief has been captured, and he wants to take this criminal...back to the capital. In order to prevent it from being blocked by their accomplices, the Neiqianhusuo and the Model Camp came out in full force."

As soon as this statement comes out...

The vermilion pen fell onto the imperial case with a snap.

Zhu Di's face was stiff.

Yishiha was also shocked.

Yishi asked anxiously: "Caught a thief, what do you mean? Didn't there be any noise before that? What kind of thief did you catch?"

The eunuch said: "Actually...actually, the servants don't know much about it, they just say... who the Buddha father and mother are... There are also many backbones of the White Lotus Sect."

Yi Shiha listened, his eyes lit up suddenly, and he immediately said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty...the world is peaceful."

Saying that, Yi Shiha immediately bowed down and kowtowed to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di was still shocked on his face, he looked unbelievable, and said in surprise: "The thief...really caught? How could it be... so fast... Not to say, these two people are very cunning and have been hiding, even the backbones below Taoist Bailian, do you also think they are dragons who see their heads but see their tails?"

Yi Shiha was still kneeling, but his voice seemed a little relaxed: "Your Majesty summoned Duke Wei to inquire carefully. Your Majesty, Duke Wei has always acted with purpose and will never make mistakes."

Zhu Di nodded, and immediately said: "Call him. Call him quickly, this guy... always... his mother's gods and ghosts..."

The little eunuch was about to run away...

Zhu Di suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute."

The little eunuch stopped quickly, turned around, and before he had time to kneel down, Zhu Di said, "No, we can't delay his business. It's not easy to go back and forth from Qixia to here. If he delays his arrangements and makes some mistakes, that would be terrible." .Come here... I'll go, I'll go and see for myself."

However, Yi Shiha seemed uneasy, and persuaded: "Your Majesty...the wind outside is tight now, I'm afraid it may be dangerous."

Zhu Di said: "The so-called congregation is nothing more than a few more people, but most of them are mobs. They can hide. If they really dare to show their heads, even a million people are not enough for me to kill."

Seeing that Yishiha was still worried, he paused for a moment, and then Zhu Di said again: "Ask some more guards to tail you, and all the ministers will accompany you."

Yi Shiha thought for a while, nodded, and then said: "Yes, the servant obeys the order."

Soon, the entire palace was in chaos.Immediately afterwards, thousands of warrior battalions and Habayashi guards were drawn out to clear the way.Zhu Di led a hundred guards and Pegasus out from Daming Gate.

I heard that the bandit leader of the White Lotus Sect was captured.

Hu Guang and Yang Rong of Wenyuan Pavilion were very surprised.

In fact, they are already very worried about the current situation.

It's like a powder keg, a bit of it burns.

Along the way, the two also rode on horseback. On the horse, Hu Guang couldn't help muttering: "The world is so big, the bandit leader of the White Lotus Sect is such a character that he can see his head and tail, how could he be able to find out his whereabouts in just over a month? It’s really hard to believe.”

Yang Rong also felt weird, and said: "Let's not worry about it, we will know everything when we meet Zhang Anshi."

Hu Guang nodded: "If we can really catch the bandit leader, that would be great, and the world will be blessed."

…………

I had a good night's sleep and felt much more comfortable. Thank you for your understanding.
