Who dares to touch my son in the Red Chamber

Emperor Jin Ming went to Jiangnan mainly to inspect the river embankment, but Emperor Jin Ming did not believe what the local officials said. He felt that if he patrolled with great fanfare, he would definitely see what the people below wanted him to see.

He believed that if he said that he wanted to inspect the river embankment now, the people below would definitely let him see a section of the embankment that was quite satisfactory, or a section with occasional flaws that could handle him.

The reason why it is not perfect is that they themselves do not believe that there is such a project, not to mention that the embankment is a project that is repaired every year. If there are no loopholes, why would they ask the Ministry of Households for money?

So, as soon as Situ Zheng woke up, besides his father who was holding him, there was another person who was dressed and looked exactly like his father, standing respectfully.

Situ Zheng, who was in a drowsy sleep, opened his hands subconsciously to block Emperor Jin Ming behind him, then made a biting movement, and shouted: "Hey! Where is the monster pretending to be my father? I can smell it all You are not my father anymore, why don't you show your real body quickly?"

The fake emperor on the opposite side froze, quickly bowed and said: "I have seen His Highness the Seventh Prince, this slave is the emperor's substitute, not a monster."

Emperor Jin Ming behind him and the prince behind him couldn't straighten up their backs from laughing, Situ Zheng naturally realized his mistake, and his little face blushed immediately.

Knowing Situ Zheng's petty temper, Emperor Jin Ming didn't dare to go too far, and hurriedly comforted him: "Xiao Qi, can Emperor Father take you out to play?"

When Situ Zheng heard it, how could he remember anything else, and immediately coaxed Emperor Jin Ming in a doggy way: "Father is the best, and Xiao Qi likes Father the most!"

The prince raised his eyebrows and said: "In the first two days, I don't know who coaxed me to say that the prince's elder brother is the best, and Xiao Qi likes the prince's elder brother the most~" Wei Yin'er deliberately turned two corners.

Situzheng rolled her eyes and said, "I don't know who it is. In order to get me to help, I tried to coax a child without limit, saying that my father has to work and doesn't have time to accompany me."

The prince rubbed his nose and said forcefully: "I didn't lie to you, you have seen that father is indeed busy all the time."

Situ Zheng gritted her teeth and said, "Then why don't you tell me about the fact that you have to study and do business in front of your father and queen, and you don't have time to accompany me?! You are a fraud! You are a big liar!"

Emperor Jin Ming added his knife and said: "Xiao Qi, it's better to be the father? You see, the father took you out to play, and your prince brother still has to stay here, isn't it very useless?"

Situzheng nodded in agreement, pointed at the prince and said, "If you want to, you will deceive children. What's the use?"

The prince was almost dizzy with anger, stepped forward and knocked on Situ Zheng's head and scolded with a smile: "Well, you little white-eyed wolf, I love you for nothing! Besides, what kind of child are you? Don't you have sons? Yet?"

While speaking, imitating Situ Zheng, she stretched out two fingers and said, "Two!"

This is probably lifting a rock and shooting yourself in the foot, right?Situ Zheng was depressed, because he really said this himself, and there was no way to refute it.

The more he thought about it, the more angry Situ Zheng jumped off Emperor Jin Ming's arms, threw himself on the prince, and then robbed him from top to bottom, confiscating a lot of bank notes.

The prince wanted to cry, but Situ Zheng rushed over. He naturally hugged him unpreparedly. He thought it was because he couldn't say it, and he wanted to hit himself twice or bite him to vent his anger. After all, it's not like he didn't do such a wicked thing before. thing.

Fortunately, Situ Zheng can still tell the difference between the inside and the outside, knowing that the prince's brother really loves him, so he won't really die hard, it's just a joke.

But this time, this little thing should be robbed, and what's more, the little thing robbed was so clean that he didn't even leave a silver ticket for the reward.

Facing this kind of robbery, Emperor Jin Ming calmly took a sip of tea and gave him high praise: "My little Qi is really smart, and he also knows that you need a bank ticket to buy things outside!"

The prince wanted to tell his father that the banknotes belonged to him, but he was ignored by the father and son. Jin Mingdi asked: "Xiaoqi, let's see how many banknotes you have taken. Let's figure out if it is enough." Is it well spent?"

Xiao Qi counted the bank notes one by one in front of the prince, and the prince was bleeding when he saw it. It was the half of the family belongings brought by his mother when he went out this time!

For 3 taels of silver, Emperor Jin Ming nodded with satisfaction and said, "This is almost enough, Xiao Qi decides to invite me to play this time?"

Facing the huge sum of money, Situ Zheng patted his chest without hesitation and said: "Father, don't worry, Xiaoqi covers all the expenses. If it is not enough, I will take it from the prince's brother!"

What you say is called an upright person who makes the prince so angry that he wants to vomit blood. Is there such a shameless person?Situ Zheng was dissatisfied with the prince's expression, so he added: "I can smell where the prince's brother hides the money!"

Come on, the prince rolled his eyes, pretending that he didn't know these two stinky and shameless unscrupulous robbers.

The emperor explained some details to Situ Zheng. For example, after going out, he can only be called father and not father emperor. Situ Zheng can completely accept these.

Emperor Jin Ming took Situ Zheng to change into a rich man's attire, and left secretly. On the surface, he only brought two guards who could make fists, but Situ Zheng felt that there were many people in the dark. .

No one in the palace noticed that the emperor had changed. The hidden guard who was said to be a stand-in, not to mention the tone of speech and movements, even the handwriting of the memorials were the same.

Situ Zheng looked at Emperor Jin Ming suspiciously and said, "Father, tell the truth, how many times have you sneaked away? This is definitely not the first time that this stand-in is proficient!"

Then he complained: "You went out to play, but you didn't take Xiaoqi with you even once!"

Emperor Jin Ming was inexplicably guilty, and the crown prince also reacted and looked at Emperor Jin Ming and said, "Father, you have never taken your son out of the palace!"

With a light cough, Emperor Jin Ming asked Situ Zheng, "Xiao Qi doesn't want to go out anymore?"

So, Situ Zheng immediately shut up, dragged Jin Mingdi away, and as for the crown prince, he was once again ignored by the father and son, feeling helpless in his heart.

After the father and son left, they boarded a long-awaited carriage in an inconspicuous corner of the palace, and the two young men were driving outside.

It was already dark outside at this time, but Jinling City was still bustling with activity.

In the middle of the night, the carriage arrived at a temple, and probably got the news that there were monks waiting at the gate of the temple.

The monk led the carriage into the temple, and then Emperor Jin Ming took Situ Zheng out of the carriage and followed the monk into a courtyard, but the monk reached the gate of the courtyard, opened the door, said the Buddha's name to the father and son, and after a while , does not enter.

Emperor Jin Ming smiled, and brought Situ Zheng into the gate of the courtyard.

Although this is a monastery, the environment inside is extremely beautiful, with winding corridors, rockery and flowing water in the distance, it is more accurate to say that it is the backyard of a Jiangnan family.

The yard occupies a very large area, but there are only three small thatched cottages, which are very simple, which does not match the landscape of the whole yard, but it is surprisingly harmonious.

In the thatched hut in the middle, with lights on, an old monk was sitting cross-legged, with a rosary in one hand, looked at their father and son with a smile, and said with a smile: "Amitabha, you are here!"

Emperor Jinming saluted and said: "The emperor's uncle is well!" Then he said to Situ Zheng: "Quickly pay respects to the old ancestor!"

Situ Zheng was a little confused, but still bowed obediently and said, "Xiao Qi pays homage to the ancestor!"

The old monk smiled and nodded, "Okay, okay, okay! Good boy, come here and let me see!"

Situ Zheng had a good impression of this kind-hearted old monk, but he still looked at Emperor Jin Ming and ran over after getting a signal.

The old monk, that is, Master Mingdeng, looked at Situ Zheng carefully for a while, and touched the top of Situ Zheng's head with his hands. Situ Zheng felt warm and comfortable all over, and then fell asleep as soon as his eyelids sank.

After a long while, Master Mingdeng said to Emperor Jin Ming: "Your Majesty loves the people diligently, moved God, and bestowed blessing beasts to guard the rivers and mountains. This year, floods should have been brought down to punish people's greed. Now that the disaster has been postponed, I hope Your Majesty will seize the opportunity."

Emperor Jin Ming saluted and said: "Thank you, Emperor Uncle, for your guidance. I will definitely catch the pests and create life for the people."

Master Mingdeng looked at the fat baby in his arms, and said again: "Your Majesty came to Jiangnan this time, and there was a calamity of life and death. He came to resolve the calamity for you."

"However, nothing in the world can disappear out of thin air, and calamity can't be resolved out of thin air. It's just apportionment, from the calamity of life and death to the calamity shared by father and son."

Emperor Jin Ming was shocked, and hurriedly asked: "Uncle Huang, Xiao Qi will be affected by this matter, so is there any time to send him back?"

Ming Deng continued: "Your Majesty, there is no need to panic. Since he is a divine beast sent by God to protect the country, he naturally has the blessing to save the world from danger. As long as you don't leave him, you will naturally meet your way of life, and you will meet noble people in times of crisis."

"What's more, Xiao Qi came here for His Majesty, how did you send him away?"

Emperor Jin Ming asked again: "The emperor's uncle means that Xiao Qi came here on purpose because he knew that I was in trouble?"

Master Mingdeng laughed and said: "Everything has a spirit, this son has a great history, and it is an instinct to predict good and bad in advance."

Emperor Jin Ming's heart was turbulent, sour and sour, he couldn't tell what it was like.

Master Mingdeng sent Situ Zheng back to Emperor Jin Ming's arms, and then said with a smile: "Amitabha, congratulations to the emperor for meeting a filial son. In fact, this is also the reward of the emperor's sincere love. Only sincerity can be exchanged for sincerity."

Then, Master Mingdeng said again: "I'm afraid this is the last meeting between the old monk and the emperor, please take care of your majesty!"

Emperor Jin Ming shrank his pupils, and hurriedly asked: "Why did the emperor's uncle say that?"

Master Mingdeng laughed and said: "This time, I have entrusted the blessings of His Majesty and His Highness the Seventh Highness. I have just realized it. After sending Your Majesty away, I will go to seclusion. After I come out, I will travel around the world."

Emperor Jin Ming felt very helpless for these practitioners, who would always talk in a cloud of nonsensical words, just like what he said, just enlightened, what have you enlightened?

Master Mingdeng explained: "That day, the reason why I left as soon as the emperor was able to monopolize the court is because I was afraid of being polluted by the intrigues of the court and the government, and it would be difficult to achieve a positive result in the end."

"However, for many years, this old monk has been cultivating hard, but he has not made any progress. Three years ago, with the help of the vermilion fruit bestowed by the emperor, he has stabilized his cultivation and has not regressed."

"Seeing the deep affection between His Majesty and his son today, I realized my lack of character. I thought that the royal family's affection is weak. In fact, as long as there is sincerity, it is the same everywhere."

Emperor Jin Ming could understand the meaning of this sentence, but he really couldn't figure it out. This is something that everyone knows, so there is no need for an epiphany.

Master Mingdeng looked at Emperor Jin Ming's expression, shook his head and sighed: "Idiots in a troubled world, with impure six senses, naturally cannot transcend the world of mortals, how can they understand?"

Emperor Jin Ming thought to himself: You are my uncle, otherwise I will have to teach you to speak human language!

Then, Master Mingdeng laughed again, and said, "Old man, you're making a fuss again. Your Majesty is the lord of heaven, the son of heaven who works hard for all people. Naturally, he can't have any roots of wisdom. Otherwise, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"

I couldn't continue talking about this, and Master Mingdeng also said: "It's getting late, Your Majesty should settle down, the people in the world are waiting for Your Majesty, don't disappoint God's will."

Emperor Jinming stood up, handed a box that looked like jade but not jade, and wood but not wood to Master Mingdeng, and said: "Then I will take my leave first. Here are five vermilion fruits. I wish the emperor's great uncle to realize the Dao as soon as possible and achieve a positive result."

Sure enough, upon hearing Emperor Jin Ming's blessing, Master Mingdeng was overjoyed from the bottom of his heart. You must know that this was a blessing uttered by the emperor himself, and he was protected by heaven.

Then, when Master Mingdeng took the box, he suddenly realized something.

After Jin Mingdi left, Master Mingdeng pulled the rope by the wall, and soon, the monk who had sent Jin Mingdi and the others walked in.

Master Mingdeng said: "Zhixian, as a teacher, I had an epiphany today, and I will go to retreat soon. There are five vermilion fruits in the box. You can take one, and the remaining four will be picked up by its owner tomorrow. For a girl around three years old, I remember handing the box to her and telling her that I will meet a destined person in the near future.”

Seeing that Master Mingdeng closed his eyes and stopped talking, Monk Zhixian hurriedly bowed and said, "Zhixian will obey the teacher's order!" After speaking, he backed away and left the thatched hut.

As soon as Monk Zhixian exited, the door of the thatched cottage closed automatically.Zhixian bowed to the thatched house again, then turned around and left the yard.

The next morning, Situ Zheng was woken up by the sound of talking, and he heard Emperor Jin Ming say: "Lin Ziang, I heard that you are very distinctive as the governor of the two rivers. From time to time, you send people to each house to beat the autumn wind So much so that not only the people in Jiangsu, Anhui, and Jiangxi provinces under your jurisdiction change color when they see you, even the people here are not spared."

Lin Ziang said with a smile: "Isn't this minister trying to save you some money? You see, in the past two years, did I ask for a return of money regardless of the treasury?"

Emperor Jin Ming scolded with a smile: "You kid also has the nerve to say this, look at my imperial case, how many of them are from you?!"

Obviously, the person who spoke was very familiar with Emperor Jin Ming, and he was very trusted by Emperor Jin Ming.

Lin Ziang also pretended to be indignant and said: "Your Majesty, tell me, who has participated in the petition, and I will live in his house this year with the golden bowl you gave me, why don't you empty out his storehouse? The minister will never leave the gate of his house!"
