The villain is awe-inspiring [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 84 The Demon Way 2
The second time, Zhu Houxi stretched his neck, but endured it.
The third time was related to Zhu Houxi's harem affairs.
Zhu Houxi's queen is a pretty good woman, and Zhu Houxi respects her very much, but the ultimate dream of a man in the Sixth Court of Sangong is in front of him. Even though Zhu Houxi lived in a monogamous legal society in his previous life, his father is still one of the few in Chinese history. There are emperors who follow monogamy and no concubines, but Zhu Houxi still couldn't resist the temptation to open a harem.
Compared with Zhu Houzhao in history, Zhu Houxi feels that he is still very reserved when it comes to female sex.
Compared with queens who are just ordinary in appearance, those concubines who can enter the palace because of their good looks are obviously more in line with Zhu Houxi's wishes.Even though he remembers to respect the queen, he prefers concubines who are good-looking and well-behaved.
After coming and going, he had less time to go to the queen's bedroom. When the concubine became pregnant, the ministers of the court couldn't sit still anymore, and they all jumped out and said that the kingdom without children in the middle palace was not stable, and the emperor wanted to favor the queen more.
This time, Zhu Houxi couldn't bear it anymore.
Who he favors is his own business, it's a family matter, it's a matter in the house, he was pulled out in a serious way and said at the court meeting, it was accusing him of spoiling his concubine and destroying his wife.He spoiled some concubines too much, but he never killed his wife!Although he is not keen on sleeping with the queen, he still sleeps with the queen at least once a week.
Are these old things stretching their hands too far?
At this point, Zhu Houxi simply followed the old path of Emperor Zhengde, but he always remembered that these ministers were still useful, so he was not so vigorous.But after several times like this, he was completely tired of this group of people in his heart.
This is not at all the same as the emperor's career that Zhu Houxi expected.
The courtiers have already been like this, not to mention that in the past two years, there have been droughts and floods everywhere in Ming Dynasty, almost no harvest in the fields, not to mention the failure to pay taxes, and peasant uprisings broke out one after another in various places.
This greatly discouraged Zhu Houxi's enthusiasm for being a Mingjun.
He has worked so hard, God is not open, is it also his fault?
In fact, in the eyes of the common people and some of the Zhu family's clan, it was Emperor Zhengxi's fault.Because the emperor lost his morality, God sent down the punishment from heaven.
Zhu Houxi wished he could spit and spray these people in the face.
Only they have long mouths, and they can speak!
However, in the past two years, droughts and floods have continued, and the temperature in winter has dropped to the lowest in recent years. Zhu Houxi tried his best to recall the history of the Ming Dynasty he had learned. He vaguely remembered that the world entered the Little Ice Age in the late Ming Dynasty, which greatly affected Ming Dynasty rule.
However, is the period of his reign considered to be the late Ming Dynasty?
Probably not.
No matter how much Zhu Houxi slanders God for convulsions, this disaster must continue to be relieved, and this chaos will continue to be peaceful.Fortunately, at this time, some high-yielding crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes had been brought into Daming by foreign missionaries as ornamental plants, and the imperial court vigorously promoted these crops that had never been valued by farmers to barely maintain the current situation.
As for the rebellion, Shou Wang Zhu Houzhao took the initiative to invite Ying, and Zhu Houxi nodded in agreement.
In fact, he had already arranged for the second hand, as long as Zhu Houzhao dropped the chain, he would go up to meet him, but what he didn't expect was that Zhu Houzhao had a very high talent in marching and fighting.Instead of being able to clean up the mess for him, the people he sent to support him praised Zhu Houzhao after returning.
This made Zhu Houxi, who had always been uneasy after he ascended the throne, a little uncomfortable. He couldn't help but wonder whether Zhu Houzhao was the real dragon emperor, so he could do everything smoothly, but everything went wrong for him?
Zhu Houxi praised Zhu Houzhao's heroism, but there was always a thorn in his heart that no one knew.It was really unbearable to hold back, so he went to Shangshan Temple to talk to Master Ruoshui.
Master Ruoshui pointed out a bright way for him, which is to collect some boys with specific birthdays from the people and let them become monks and practice instead of Zhu Houxi, so as to suppress the national fortune of the Ming Dynasty and eliminate natural disasters.
If it weren't for Zhu Houxi's already considerable trust in Ruoshui real person, once this request was made, Zhu Houxi's rich imagination would have allowed him to diverge his thinking about collecting boys.
At that time, Zhu Houxi did not completely believe in the real Ruoshui. Although he got the boys according to his statement at the beginning, he sent someone to watch those boys when they were sent away from Shangshanguan.He was alive and kicking, and he didn't seem to have experienced any terrible things in the Shangshan Temple.In addition, Master Ruoshui had stamped Zhu Houxi as an expert in the world, and after staring at him twice, he was completely relieved.
Confirming the feasibility of substituting for practice will inevitably lead to some unnecessary rumors, and Jin Yiwei's search for a suitable boy is considered a secret.
Well, compared to the previous two years of disasters in the summer and unsettled winters, this year there was only a severe drought in a certain place, plus the rebellion of King Anhua, it is already a rare and good year... right?
Zhu Houxi, who didn't know when his requirements were getting lower and lower, sighed secretly. He looked at His Highness Zhu Houzhao, and really felt that the emperor was not so easy to do, and he could only grit his teeth and persist if he didn't want to be a faint king.
However, seeing Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Houxi remembered what the real Ruoshui said seven days ago.Thinking of the Empress Dowager Zhang in the harem and his own reputation, he couldn't help but hesitate.
The boys who took Zhu Houxi's place to become a monk and practiced changed from batch to batch. It seemed that there were some effects, but it was not enough.Master Ruoshui hesitated again and again, and told Zhu Houxi that he needed a person with real fate to become a monk to replace him. The effect of that person's monkhood was better than that of all the boys combined, because he was afraid that the emperor would not bear it.
At first Zhu Houxi thought he was the eldest son of the emperor, and he was very reluctant. Later, after the explanation of Ruoshui Zhenren, he realized that he was referring to Zhu Houzhao, the king of longevity.
Zhu Houxi thought about it, too, Zhu Houzhao is the Emperor Zhengde who is firmly established in history books, if he hadn't been born, Zhu Houzhao would also be the emperor's order.In terms of the preciousness of fate, Zhu Houzhao may not be inferior to him.
It's just that Zhu Houzhao is his only biological younger brother, who is granted the title of Shouwang by the imperial court, capable of both civil and military affairs, and most importantly, Queen Mother Zhang is still alive and well.Zhu Houzhao is not a clan that the royal family can abandon and fiddle with at will. One of the major events of this generation of emperors to become monks and practice, if it is not handled properly, the emperor excludes dissidents and persecutes his younger brothers.If Empress Dowager Zhang made a fuss and suppressed the word filial piety, he would be devastated.
Zhu Houxi only felt a severe headache, but this did not prevent Zhu Houxi from praising Zhu Houzhao's performance during this period, various rewards and graces, and severely fucked the character of a good brother.
Zhu Houzhao thanked him calmly, with a respectful yet friendly tone.
Zhu Houxi took a deep look at Zhu Houzhao, and ordered his younger brother to become a monk on his behalf, which is not kind, but if his younger brother understands the righteousness and takes the initiative to become a monk, it is not his business.Thinking of this, Zhu Houxi continued: "Azhao, Master Ruoshui received an oracle to ask you to go to Shangshan Temple after returning to the capital. Don't forget it tomorrow."
Zhu Houzhao's peach-blossom eyes, which were slightly raised at the end of his eyes, flashed a trace of disgust and repulsion, and he had no cover for his dislike of the so-called national teacher, Daoist Ruoshui, and said, "Brother Emperor, what kind of oracle can such a monster say!"
Zhu Houzhao's temper is actually good, but if he really dislikes someone, he can't even put on a good face.The last person who was so rejected by Zhu Houzhao was an eunuch, and the young Zhu Houzhao almost beat him to death.Adhering to the spirit of humanitarianism, Zhu Houxi advised Zhu Houzhao not to be too violent, but when he knew that the eunuch's surname was Liu Mingjin...
Sure enough, he had to be killed to reassure him.
Because of Zhu Houzhao's attitude towards Liu Jin, Zhu Houxi stared at Zhu Houzhao for a long time, suspecting that Zhu Houzhao was time-traveled or reborn.But after observing for a while, I found that he was a child through and through, with no trace of time travel or rebirth, but he was extremely smart.
It may be that Liu Jin in this life is not as dedicated to coaxing Zhu Houzhao as he was in the previous life, and it turned out to be a clue.
Zhu Houxi back then quickly found a reason for Zhu Houzhao's behavior.
Now, hearing Zhu Houzhao's rejection of Ruoshui Zhenren, Zhu Houxi was refreshed, and immediately warned Zhu Houzhao with a serious face that Ruoshui Zhenren is an outsider, and his attitude is not advisable.To question the real person Ruoshui is to question the person who appointed the real person Ruoshui as the national teacher. Even if he dotes on his younger brother, Zhu Houzhao can't be so presumptuous.
Zhu Houzhao lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice, "My brother knows his mistake."
He said he knew his mistake, but Zhu Houzhao's expression didn't seem like he knew his mistake.
Zhu Houxi sighed forcefully, waved his hand, let Zhu Hou take the photo, and don't forget to see the real Ruoshui at Shangshan Temple tomorrow.
Zhu Houzhao kept a stern face, and he totally rejected the emperor's order, but it was not worth asking him to resist the order.He gritted his teeth secretly, and said in his heart: He wants to see what kind of tricks that demon can play. It just so happens that he came back from suppressing the rebellion this time and got a good sword that can slay demons.He took that sword and went to Shangshan Temple to uncover the ghostly mask of Ruo Shui Yaodao!
Yes, under the premise that the real person Ruoshui won over the emperor, and then the entire royal family, and the dignitaries in the capital, almost everyone believed in the identity of the real person Ruoshui as an extraterrestrial expert, and admired him very much. Only Zhu Houzhao, he always felt that Ruoshui There is a problem with a real person, it is a demon.
For this reason, he also invited many great monks to visit Shangshan Temple in the name of mutual printing.However, what made Zhu Houzhao helpless and resentful was that not only did those eminent monks fail to see the eccentricity of Master Ruoshui, they also admired Master Ruoshui when they left Shangshan Temple, and on the contrary helped Master Ruoshui to build a reputation in the practice world.
This makes people very angry.
In such a situation, if it were someone else, they might think that their instinctive rejection of the real Ruoshui was a kind of prejudice.After all, those who have met the real Ruoshui, whether they are ordinary people or eminent monks, say that he has real skills and is an expert.
Zhu Houzhao is stubborn, he just thinks there is something wrong with the real Ruoshui, even if he can't produce evidence, he just knows.
The lack of evidence also made Zhu Houzhao suffocated.
Obviously he made meritorious service and was rewarded, but because of going to Shangshan Temple, Zhu Houzhao didn't even have a smile on his face, so when he left the Qianqing Palace, he met Taikang Princess Zhu Xiurong who was standing at the door with a smile on his face. At that moment, Zhu Houzhao forced a smile on his face.
Rubbing his sister's hair, Zhu Houzhao went to the harem with Zhu Xiurong, and sat in the palace of Empress Dowager Zhang for a while, habitually filtering out the express hints from a woman in Empress Dowager Zhang's family, Zhu Houzhao hurriedly left his sister and ran away .
Empress Dowager Zhang suddenly looked helpless. She pointed at Zhu Houzhao's back and said to her little daughter, "Look at your second brother's attitude. How many years will the Ai family have to wait to see him get married and have children? Women are not scourges. Does he have this attitude?"
"That's not true." Zhu Xiurong, who was ruthlessly abandoned by his elder brother, immediately stood on the same front with Queen Mother Zhang, sharing the same hatred, "Second brother really, he really doesn't understand style."
"Alas..." Empress Dowager Zhang frowned, and murmured: "Although the Ai family doesn't want Ah Zhao to be like the emperor and make so many concubines, they can't even marry wives."
Zhu Houzhao, who was worried about major life events, escaped from the harem in a hurry, and planned not to step into the harem for the next month, and never let his mother seize the opportunity to talk about him.
After returning to Shouwang Mansion, Zhu Houzhao handed over the matter of packing up the rewards and storing them in the treasury, while he picked out the sword he got during the counter-rebellion this time, and wiped it carefully.
The cold light of the sword reflected Zhu Houzhao's lips with a sneer.
Yaodao, let's see if he doesn't peel off his hypocrisy tomorrow!
***
With high fighting spirit in his heart, Zhu Houzhao got up from the bed just after the fourth watch of the second day.After a casual breakfast, he changed into the vermilion python robe, put on the sword that was said to be able to slay demons and demons, and rode on his beloved horse to go to Shangshan Mountain.When he arrived at the Zhumen of Shangshan Temple with his retinue, it was only four o'clock at midnight, and his genius was dim.
He doesn't care what the state of the Shangshan Temple is at this time. Shouldn't practitioners get up early to do morning classes?
Zhu Houzhao touched the sword hanging on his waist, snorted, and motioned for his subordinates to call the door.
However, before the servant's hand touched the door knocker, the vermilion gate of Shangshanguan opened from the inside with a creak. A handsome young man in a blue Taoist robe smiled at Zhu Houzhao and the two servants outside, and said loudly: "His Royal Highness King Shou has arrived, the temple master has been waiting for you for more than half an hour."
Zhu Houzhao: "..."
Bah, demon way!
Zhu Houzhao nodded perfunctorily at the blue-robed Taoist priest, and strode into the Shangshan Temple.The subordinates behind him wanted to follow, but were blocked by the blue-robed Taoist priest.I don't know how he moved, but his arm that didn't look very strong was thrown across the door, and the servants brought by Zhu Houzhao were all big and round, but they couldn't shake them.
The blue-robed Taoist smiled kindly, and said: "The Taoist school is a pure place, the temple master only invited His Royal Highness Shou Wang to enter, everyone should wait here."
"This……"
The subordinates frowned and subconsciously looked at Zhu Houzhao.
His Royal Highness Shouwang's rejection of Ruoshui Zhenren is well known throughout the court, and they, Shouwang's subordinates, naturally know it too.No matter how much they feared Ruoshui, they couldn't and dared not show it in front of His Royal Highness Shou Wang.
Zhu Houzhao's fingers stroked the tassel of the long sword on his waist with a little force, and he was not afraid of going deep into the tiger's den alone, and said, "You guys wait outside."
"Yes, my subordinates obey."
The subordinates breathed a sigh of relief without any trace, and waited respectfully outside the Taoist temple.
The blue-robed Taoist smiled again, and closed the Zhumen door with his backhand.
"His Royal Highness, this way please."
The Taoist priest in ancient pine shape smiled and led Zhu Houzhao to the main hall. During the whole process, the sword that is said to be able to slay demons did not respond.It's not that this sword is a fake, in fact, it is indeed a superior sword, capable of identifying monsters and beheading ghosts.
It's just that the people who enlightened the ancient trees and flowers in the Taoist temple used the methods of the immortal family, so that after the transformation of these plants and trees, they passed the stage of concentrating the demonic energy and fading the demonic nature, and directly entered the realm of spiritual things.As long as their state of mind and cultivation keep up, within a hundred years, these little demons enlightened by the immortal king will be able to become immortals, which can be described as an unprecedented great fortune.
Therefore, when the ancient pine transformed Taoist priest saw this sword, he didn't feel any discomfort at all, he just nodded secretly, it was indeed a good sword.
In front of the Sanqing Hall, Taoist priest Gusong bowed his head and said, "Report to the temple master, His Royal Highness King Shou has arrived."
Zhu Houzhao lifted his chin lightly, and stood with his head held high outside the Hall of Sanqing, but his palm fell on the hilt of the sword without knowing when, and he raised his voice, "Ruoshui real person, since this king has arrived, you still haven't come out..." meet.
Before Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, the figure walking out of the Sanqing Palace was startled by Zhu Houzhao's words behind him, making him stare wide-eyed and standing there in a daze.
Taoist Priest Gu Song bowed slightly, and slowly retreated to the outside of the main hall.
The Taoist priest who walked out of the hall slowly had an extremely prosperous face, with sword eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and there was no flaw in it.The mountain wind is bitter, agitating the broad sleeves of the Taoist priests, hunting and dancing, as if they are about to ascend to the immortals in the next moment.
However, at this moment, he was standing firmly on the steps in front of the Sanqing Hall, looking down at Zhu Houzhao.He raised the corners of his lips, and the familiar warm smile gradually blurred in the bottom of his eyes, and said in a gentle voice: "Poverty, welcome His Royal Highness Shou Wang."
Zhu Houzhao looked at Xiao Mingcheng in a daze, and said subconsciously: "You..." Immediately, he was shocked, and Zhu Houzhao's ears turned red when he realized that he had lost his composure.He pursed his lips hard, adjusted his expression to seriousness, and said in a deep voice, "You are not the real Ruoshui!"
Zhu Houzhao, who tried his best to be serious, frowned and said, "Where is Master Ruoshui? Why don't you come out to see me."
Xiao Mingcheng smiled leisurely, he stepped down the stairs, and said in a slow voice: "Ruoshui Daoist had already emerged a day ago. Before he emerged, he knew that time was not long, so he asked the poor to come out of the mountain."
He stood still in front of Zhu Houzhao, looked at Zhu Houzhao who had the same eyebrows and eyes as the previous lives, and looked at his expression to know that he had no memory of the previous lives.Xiao Mingcheng was full of smiles, and there was a sense of intimacy in his tone that made people blush, which was the way Minzhi could never bear to speak, and he said softly: "Mingcheng the poor, I have seen... King Shou... Your Highness. "
Zhu Houzhao stood stiffly on the spot, Xiao Mingcheng's voice was like a small hook, hooking his apex one after another, making his apex tremble slightly.When he realized his gaffe, Xiao Mingcheng was already standing in front of him, and his smiling phoenix eyes looked straight into his eyes.
Zhu Houzhao was stunned, and the uncontrollable heat on his face was like a prairie fire, which instantly made his whole body red.He forcibly resisted the urge to take three steps back, avoiding Xiao Mingcheng's gaze, and said with difficulty: "Ah, oh, Mingcheng, real Mingcheng."
Biting the tip of his tongue forcefully, Zhu Houzhao lifted his foot and walked forward to the left, walking past Xiao Mingcheng pretending to be calm.With his hands behind his back, he walked seven steps before standing still, and when he turned around to look at Xiao Mingcheng, he had already recovered his usual calmness...probably.
"This king is ordered by the emperor to meet the real person Ruoshui and receive the oracle." When the word "oracle" was mentioned, Zhu Houzhao sneered. Express your disgust and contempt.
Of course, this sentiment was not aimed at the new Reverend Mingcheng, although in other people's eyes, Reverend Mingcheng and Reverend Ruoshui are the same, and his mocking Reverend Ruoshui means despising Reverend Mingcheng.
"It's just a little gain, so why talk about oracle." Xiao Mingcheng said slowly, "Please trouble Your Highness to take a trip, but it's a poor man."
"No, it has nothing to do with you." Zhu Houzhao immediately retorted, and then explained calmly: "Your Majesty has an order, no matter what, I have to make a trip. It is a good harvest to see you. Cough, this king It means that you also seem to know what you got from the oracle, and this king is not in vain."
Xiao Mingcheng laughed lightly, as if he couldn't hear the embarrassment in Zhu Houzhao's tone, and said in a polite and honest manner: "Your Highness said so."
Zhu Houzhao's eyebrows trembled slightly. He never felt that there was anything strange about the title "His Royal Highness". He had been called like this since he was a child.But when these two words were uttered from the mouth of this real Mingcheng, the way of chanting the words was full of tenderness, which made the temperature on his face that had been so hard to drop rise up.
Zhu Houzhao has never encountered such a thing, he is obviously a monk, he is obviously a man... Although this man is terribly good-looking, it can be said that he is the most beautiful person Zhu Houzhao has ever seen in his life, even if he meets those who try to seduce him A woman's heart can be as calm as water, and she can't make any waves, but in front of this real Mingcheng, he is like a fool who just fell in love.
So, all these years, he has never been interested in sexual affairs between men and women, is it because he prefers men?
Zhu Houzhao was shocked, but he didn't feel much repulsion in his heart, instead he accepted it as a matter of course.
It's just that the object he is eyeing is not easy to handle.
Zhu Houzhao pursed his lips and looked at Xiao Mingcheng. Although Taoist priests of some sects couldn't help marrying, this real Mingcheng looked like a fairy, standing here, like a fairy dust, and his demeanor alone was far better than that real person Ruoshui .
Such a real person really doesn't seem to be greedy for the existence of the world of mortals.
It's just that it's a bit reconciled to let go of the only existence that makes his heart beat without trying.
Messy thoughts were swirling in his mind, even though his burning ears kept betraying Zhu Houzhao's true mood, his expression was tense and serious.He was very businesslike and said: "Ruoshui Master is the national teacher of the Ming Dynasty, and has always been trusted by His Majesty. You must inform His Majesty about Ruoshui's immortality and your succession to the Taoist temple." After a pause, Zhu Houzhao asked with concern, " Do you have the letterhead sent to you by Master Ruoshui?"
Of course not, Xiao Mingcheng, who personally butchered that nephew, didn't have any nonsense.
But Xiao Mingcheng nodded very calmly and said, "Of course there are."
"It's better to hit the sun than to choose the day. The real person should go to the palace with the king first." This kind of thing can't be delayed, especially Zhu Houzhao knows how much his royal brother admires the real person Ruoshui.However, with the letter of the real Ruoshui, coupled with the fact that there are real masters standing in front of him, no matter how you look at it, he is much better than the real Ruoshui.As long as the emperor's brother is not crazy, it is inevitable to take advantage of the trend to confer the title of Master Mingcheng as the national teacher.
With him still around, no matter what he said, he would not let Brother Huang take the anger of Daoist Ming Cheng.
Zhu Houzhao secretly made up his mind.
The author has something to say: #818Spicy King of Shou who unconsciously numb his claws#
Zhu Houzhao: This, this, where is the demon way?
Xiao Mingcheng: Hang up~^_^

Zhu Houzhao's temper is actually good, but if he really dislikes someone, he can't even put on a good face.The last person who was so rejected by Zhu Houzhao was an eunuch, and the young Zhu Houzhao almost beat him to death.Adhering to the spirit of humanitarianism, Zhu Houxi advised Zhu Houzhao not to be too violent, but when he knew that the eunuch's surname was Liu Mingjin...
Sure enough, he had to be killed to reassure him.
Because of Zhu Houzhao's attitude towards Liu Jin, Zhu Houxi stared at Zhu Houzhao for a long time, suspecting that Zhu Houzhao was time-traveled or reborn.But after observing for a while, I found that he was a child through and through, with no trace of time travel or rebirth, but he was extremely smart.
It may be that Liu Jin in this life is not as dedicated to coaxing Zhu Houzhao as he was in the previous life, and it turned out to be a clue.
Zhu Houxi back then quickly found a reason for Zhu Houzhao's behavior.
Now, hearing Zhu Houzhao's rejection of Ruoshui Zhenren, Zhu Houxi was refreshed, and immediately warned Zhu Houzhao with a serious face that Ruoshui Zhenren is an outsider, and his attitude is not advisable.To question the real person Ruoshui is to question the person who appointed the real person Ruoshui as the national teacher. Even if he dotes on his younger brother, Zhu Houzhao can't be so presumptuous.
Zhu Houzhao lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice, "My brother knows his mistake."
He said he knew his mistake, but Zhu Houzhao's expression didn't seem like he knew his mistake.
Zhu Houxi sighed forcefully, waved his hand, let Zhu Hou take the photo, and don't forget to see the real Ruoshui at Shangshan Temple tomorrow.
Zhu Houzhao kept a stern face, and he totally rejected the emperor's order, but it was not worth asking him to resist the order.He gritted his teeth secretly, and said in his heart: He wants to see what kind of tricks that demon can play. It just so happens that he came back from suppressing the rebellion this time and got a good sword that can slay demons.He took that sword and went to Shangshan Temple to uncover the ghostly mask of Ruo Shui Yaodao!
Yes, under the premise that the real person Ruoshui won over the emperor, and then the entire royal family, and the dignitaries in the capital, almost everyone believed in the identity of the real person Ruoshui as an extraterrestrial expert, and admired him very much. Only Zhu Houzhao, he always felt that Ruoshui There is a problem with a real person, it is a demon.
For this reason, he also invited many great monks to visit Shangshan Temple in the name of mutual printing.However, what made Zhu Houzhao helpless and resentful was that not only did those eminent monks fail to see the eccentricity of Master Ruoshui, they also admired Master Ruoshui when they left Shangshan Temple, and on the contrary helped Master Ruoshui to build a reputation in the practice world.
This makes people very angry.
In such a situation, if it were someone else, they might think that their instinctive rejection of the real Ruoshui was a kind of prejudice.After all, those who have met the real Ruoshui, whether they are ordinary people or eminent monks, say that he has real skills and is an expert.
Zhu Houzhao is stubborn, he just thinks there is something wrong with the real Ruoshui, even if he can't produce evidence, he just knows.
The lack of evidence also made Zhu Houzhao suffocated.
Obviously he made meritorious service and was rewarded, but because of going to Shangshan Temple, Zhu Houzhao didn't even have a smile on his face, so when he left the Qianqing Palace, he met Taikang Princess Zhu Xiurong who was standing at the door with a smile on his face. At that moment, Zhu Houzhao forced a smile on his face.
Rubbing his sister's hair, Zhu Houzhao went to the harem with Zhu Xiurong, and sat in the palace of Empress Dowager Zhang for a while, habitually filtering out the express hints from a woman in Empress Dowager Zhang's family, Zhu Houzhao hurriedly left his sister and ran away .
Empress Dowager Zhang suddenly looked helpless. She pointed at Zhu Houzhao's back and said to her little daughter, "Look at your second brother's attitude. How many years will the Ai family have to wait to see him get married and have children? Women are not scourges. Does he have this attitude?"
"That's not true." Zhu Xiurong, who was ruthlessly abandoned by his elder brother, immediately stood on the same front with Queen Mother Zhang, sharing the same hatred, "Second brother really, he really doesn't understand style."
"Alas..." Empress Dowager Zhang frowned, and murmured: "Although the Ai family doesn't want Ah Zhao to be like the emperor and make so many concubines, they can't even marry wives."
Zhu Houzhao, who was worried about major life events, escaped from the harem in a hurry, and planned not to step into the harem for the next month, and never let his mother seize the opportunity to talk about him.
After returning to Shouwang Mansion, Zhu Houzhao handed over the matter of packing up the rewards and storing them in the treasury, while he picked out the sword he got during the counter-rebellion this time, and wiped it carefully.
The cold light of the sword reflected Zhu Houzhao's lips with a sneer.
Yaodao, let's see if he doesn't peel off his hypocrisy tomorrow!
***
With high fighting spirit in his heart, Zhu Houzhao got up from the bed just after the fourth watch of the second day.After a casual breakfast, he changed into the vermilion python robe, put on the sword that was said to be able to slay demons and demons, and rode on his beloved horse to go to Shangshan Mountain.When he arrived at the Zhumen of Shangshan Temple with his retinue, it was only four o'clock at midnight, and his genius was dim.
He doesn't care what the state of the Shangshan Temple is at this time. Shouldn't practitioners get up early to do morning classes?
Zhu Houzhao touched the sword hanging on his waist, snorted, and motioned for his subordinates to call the door.
However, before the servant's hand touched the door knocker, the vermilion gate of Shangshanguan opened from the inside with a creak. A handsome young man in a blue Taoist robe smiled at Zhu Houzhao and the two servants outside, and said loudly: "His Royal Highness King Shou has arrived, the temple master has been waiting for you for more than half an hour."
Zhu Houzhao: "..."
Bah, demon way!
Zhu Houzhao nodded perfunctorily at the blue-robed Taoist priest, and strode into the Shangshan Temple.The subordinates behind him wanted to follow, but were blocked by the blue-robed Taoist priest.I don't know how he moved, but his arm that didn't look very strong was thrown across the door, and the servants brought by Zhu Houzhao were all big and round, but they couldn't shake them.
The blue-robed Taoist smiled kindly, and said: "The Taoist school is a pure place, the temple master only invited His Royal Highness Shou Wang to enter, everyone should wait here."
"This……"
The subordinates frowned and subconsciously looked at Zhu Houzhao.
His Royal Highness Shouwang's rejection of Ruoshui Zhenren is well known throughout the court, and they, Shouwang's subordinates, naturally know it too.No matter how much they feared Ruoshui, they couldn't and dared not show it in front of His Royal Highness Shou Wang.
Zhu Houzhao's fingers stroked the tassel of the long sword on his waist with a little force, and he was not afraid of going deep into the tiger's den alone, and said, "You guys wait outside."
"Yes, my subordinates obey."
The subordinates breathed a sigh of relief without any trace, and waited respectfully outside the Taoist temple.
The blue-robed Taoist smiled again, and closed the Zhumen door with his backhand.
"His Royal Highness, this way please."
The Taoist priest in ancient pine shape smiled and led Zhu Houzhao to the main hall. During the whole process, the sword that is said to be able to slay demons did not respond.It's not that this sword is a fake, in fact, it is indeed a superior sword, capable of identifying monsters and beheading ghosts.
It's just that the people who enlightened the ancient trees and flowers in the Taoist temple used the methods of the immortal family, so that after the transformation of these plants and trees, they passed the stage of concentrating the demonic energy and fading the demonic nature, and directly entered the realm of spiritual things.As long as their state of mind and cultivation keep up, within a hundred years, these little demons enlightened by the immortal king will be able to become immortals, which can be described as an unprecedented great fortune.
Therefore, when the ancient pine transformed Taoist priest saw this sword, he didn't feel any discomfort at all, he just nodded secretly, it was indeed a good sword.
In front of the Sanqing Hall, Taoist priest Gusong bowed his head and said, "Report to the temple master, His Royal Highness King Shou has arrived."
Zhu Houzhao lifted his chin lightly, and stood with his head held high outside the Hall of Sanqing, but his palm fell on the hilt of the sword without knowing when, and he raised his voice, "Ruoshui real person, since this king has arrived, you still haven't come out..." meet.
Before Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, the figure walking out of the Sanqing Palace was startled by Zhu Houzhao's words behind him, making him stare wide-eyed and standing there in a daze.
Taoist Priest Gu Song bowed slightly, and slowly retreated to the outside of the main hall.
The Taoist priest who walked out of the hall slowly had an extremely prosperous face, with sword eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and there was no flaw in it.The mountain wind is bitter, agitating the broad sleeves of the Taoist priests, hunting and dancing, as if they are about to ascend to the immortals in the next moment.
However, at this moment, he was standing firmly on the steps in front of the Sanqing Hall, looking down at Zhu Houzhao.He raised the corners of his lips, and the familiar warm smile gradually blurred in the bottom of his eyes, and said in a gentle voice: "Poverty, welcome His Royal Highness Shou Wang."
Zhu Houzhao looked at Xiao Mingcheng in a daze, and said subconsciously: "You..." Immediately, he was shocked, and Zhu Houzhao's ears turned red when he realized that he had lost his composure.He pursed his lips hard, adjusted his expression to seriousness, and said in a deep voice, "You are not the real Ruoshui!"
Zhu Houzhao, who tried his best to be serious, frowned and said, "Where is Master Ruoshui? Why don't you come out to see me."
Xiao Mingcheng smiled leisurely, he stepped down the stairs, and said in a slow voice: "Ruoshui Daoist had already emerged a day ago. Before he emerged, he knew that time was not long, so he asked the poor to come out of the mountain."
He stood still in front of Zhu Houzhao, looked at Zhu Houzhao who had the same eyebrows and eyes as the previous lives, and looked at his expression to know that he had no memory of the previous lives.Xiao Mingcheng was full of smiles, and there was a sense of intimacy in his tone that made people blush, which was the way Minzhi could never bear to speak, and he said softly: "Mingcheng the poor, I have seen... King Shou... Your Highness. "
Zhu Houzhao stood stiffly on the spot, Xiao Mingcheng's voice was like a small hook, hooking his apex one after another, making his apex tremble slightly.When he realized his gaffe, Xiao Mingcheng was already standing in front of him, and his smiling phoenix eyes looked straight into his eyes.
Zhu Houzhao was stunned, and the uncontrollable heat on his face was like a prairie fire, which instantly made his whole body red.He forcibly resisted the urge to take three steps back, avoiding Xiao Mingcheng's gaze, and said with difficulty: "Ah, oh, Mingcheng, real Mingcheng."
Biting the tip of his tongue forcefully, Zhu Houzhao lifted his foot and walked forward to the left, walking past Xiao Mingcheng pretending to be calm.With his hands behind his back, he walked seven steps before standing still, and when he turned around to look at Xiao Mingcheng, he had already recovered his usual calmness...probably.
"This king is ordered by the emperor to meet the real person Ruoshui and receive the oracle." When the word "oracle" was mentioned, Zhu Houzhao sneered. Express your disgust and contempt.
Of course, this sentiment was not aimed at the new Reverend Mingcheng, although in other people's eyes, Reverend Mingcheng and Reverend Ruoshui are the same, and his mocking Reverend Ruoshui means despising Reverend Mingcheng.
"It's just a little gain, so why talk about oracle." Xiao Mingcheng said slowly, "Please trouble Your Highness to take a trip, but it's a poor man."
"No, it has nothing to do with you." Zhu Houzhao immediately retorted, and then explained calmly: "Your Majesty has an order, no matter what, I have to make a trip. It is a good harvest to see you. Cough, this king It means that you also seem to know what you got from the oracle, and this king is not in vain."
Xiao Mingcheng laughed lightly, as if he couldn't hear the embarrassment in Zhu Houzhao's tone, and said in a polite and honest manner: "Your Highness said so."
Zhu Houzhao's eyebrows trembled slightly. He never felt that there was anything strange about the title "His Royal Highness". He had been called like this since he was a child.But when these two words were uttered from the mouth of this real Mingcheng, the way of chanting the words was full of tenderness, which made the temperature on his face that had been so hard to drop rise up.
Zhu Houzhao has never encountered such a thing, he is obviously a monk, he is obviously a man... Although this man is terribly good-looking, it can be said that he is the most beautiful person Zhu Houzhao has ever seen in his life, even if he meets those who try to seduce him A woman's heart can be as calm as water, and she can't make any waves, but in front of this real Mingcheng, he is like a fool who just fell in love.
So, all these years, he has never been interested in sexual affairs between men and women, is it because he prefers men?
Zhu Houzhao was shocked, but he didn't feel much repulsion in his heart, instead he accepted it as a matter of course.
It's just that the object he is eyeing is not easy to handle.
Zhu Houzhao pursed his lips and looked at Xiao Mingcheng. Although Taoist priests of some sects couldn't help marrying, this real Mingcheng looked like a fairy, standing here, like a fairy dust, and his demeanor alone was far better than that real person Ruoshui .
Such a real person really doesn't seem to be greedy for the existence of the world of mortals.
It's just that it's a bit reconciled to let go of the only existence that makes his heart beat without trying.
Messy thoughts were swirling in his mind, even though his burning ears kept betraying Zhu Houzhao's true mood, his expression was tense and serious.He was very businesslike and said: "Ruoshui Master is the national teacher of the Ming Dynasty, and has always been trusted by His Majesty. You must inform His Majesty about Ruoshui's immortality and your succession to the Taoist temple." After a pause, Zhu Houzhao asked with concern, " Do you have the letterhead sent to you by Master Ruoshui?"
Of course not, Xiao Mingcheng, who personally butchered that nephew, didn't have any nonsense.
But Xiao Mingcheng nodded very calmly and said, "Of course there are."
"It's better to hit the sun than to choose the day. The real person should go to the palace with the king first." This kind of thing can't be delayed, especially Zhu Houzhao knows how much his royal brother admires the real person Ruoshui.However, with the letter of the real Ruoshui, coupled with the fact that there are real masters standing in front of him, no matter how you look at it, he is much better than the real Ruoshui.As long as the emperor's brother is not crazy, it is inevitable to take advantage of the trend to confer the title of Master Mingcheng as the national teacher.
With him still around, no matter what he said, he would not let Brother Huang take the anger of Daoist Ming Cheng.
Zhu Houzhao secretly made up his mind.
The author has something to say: #818Spicy King of Shou who unconsciously numb his claws#
Zhu Houzhao: This, this, where is the demon way?
Xiao Mingcheng: Hang up~^_^
