My Brother-in-law is the Prince

  Chapter 273 Congratulations to Your Majesty

  Chapter 273: Congratulations to Your Majesty

  When Chen Li heard about the great contribution, his heart skipped a beat.

  He believed that Zhang Anshi would definitely not fool him, but... great credit has always been made, and there must be great risks.

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

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

  Zhang Anshi immediately said: "From now on, all plans must be kept extremely confidential. We only take the Buddha father and Buddha mother, and other than that, these are the 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 looks mediocre, and he looks very simple and honest. Zhang Anshi talked with him for a while, and it is true that this guy is just like his impression, 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, and 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 to say, 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.

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

   After all, seeing is believing.

   In addition to this, 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 reference 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 not only top-down, but also bottom-up, especially in Daming, 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?

  One by one has been an official for a few years, and apart from earning a lot of money, they can't do anything, which is actually the reason.

  In general, 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.

  Eating this meal 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 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, 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 bowed his head to eat, not knowing how to respond.

  Zhang Anshidao: "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 my use. As long as you don't show your feet, you will definitely be hooked."

  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 spirit 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 in the mountains, and it looks very inconspicuous.

  Someone flew here in a hurry, 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 karst cave, incense is lingering, as if 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 she was meditating and resting.

  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, glanced at this man, and said nothing.

  This man also waited patiently. He knew the rules, and he would not pay attention to him until the Buddha father came.

   But the Buddha mother raised her eyes and took a look. Seeing this, the nearby Taoists saluted and quit the huge cave.

   "Follow me."

  The Buddha Mother stood up, holding Fushen in her hand, as if she had no thoughts or 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 it seems that it has been specially repaired.

  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 scriptures.

  The scriptures recited are jerky and difficult to understand.

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

  The voice of chanting became more and more intensive, and the woman's wailing became more and more sad.

  The Buddha Mother called out: "Is the Dharma done?"

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

   Only the woman was left sobbing faintly.

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

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

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

   After finishing speaking, he took a long breath.

  Buddhist 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 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 said happily, "Tell them that they have made great achievements this time, 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 hearing this, the Buddha mother 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 he had recovered a little. He got up, looked at the people and said, "I will give you amulet water to increase your lifespan by ten years. After eating the amulet water, go down the mountain immediately."

  Hearing this, the man immediately showed 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, knocking his head until it was covered in blood.

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

   After kowtowing, the man 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 remained 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? 10,000, 20,000? What if it’s 100,000? 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 culprit, 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 them to vent his anger..."

Speaking of this, the Buddha said with a smile: "The more he kills, the better, 10,000, 100,000...even if he kills a million people. But we still have millions of believers, but this killing is in vain. Everyone knows 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 work harder... But the only thing I worry about is Yes, although Zhu Di's ancestral grave has been dug up, even though he is furious at this moment, 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 on the world to teach 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 it on fire?"

  Buddha listened, thoughtful.

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

  Buddha mother said: "We are already immortals, what are we doing as the emperor and queen?"

  Father Buddha laughed and said, "Have you been fooling others for a long time, and you fooled yourself too?"

  Buddha mother said: "You should stop clearing the demonic obstacles for those women. If you continue like this, your body may not be able to bear it."

  Father Buddha said lightly: "If I don't make a move, their parents will wash their faces with tears 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 just said is good?"

  The boy said, "Okay."

   "What a good boy." Buddha father touched 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.

  Father Buddha said kindly: "Eat quickly, you will be the same as your parents and your sisters after eating."

  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.

  The Buddha’s father didn’t look at him anymore, and only told the Buddha’s mother: “Treat 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..."

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

  The boy clutched his stomach and 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 princes of the state were divided into Beiping, Sichuan, Guanzhong and other places.

  In the Mansion of the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies, only Marquis Wu An sits in command.

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

  The good news is that today we took some thieves 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 hunt around, but the effect is not obvious.

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

  Warrior Battalion dispatched one to Zhongdu.

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

  In 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.

  Yi Shiha 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 3,942 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 that they wanted the death penalty to serve as an example to others.”

  Zhu Di frowned and said, "Really? What do you think?"

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

  Zhu Di said: "Why?"

Yi Shiha said very carefully: "My maidservant is actually the same as Wei Guogong in his heart. He knows 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 dare to... dare to presumptuously in the Imperial Tomb of the Central Capital, it is really audacious. Everyone is worried that if you propose a pardon at this time, you will offend His Majesty, and even..."

  Zhu Di understood that at this time, it was no longer a matter of how to solve the problem. This 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 send you a set meal of Zhu San Clan.

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

Yi Shiha said without thinking, "Because Wei Guogong 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 Wei Guogong says or does, There will always be no other intentions."

   "Sophisticated son doubts 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 am not worthy."

  Zhu Di said, sighed heavily again, his eyes were a little red: "Taizu Gaodi Emperor Quanxia knows that I can't even protect my own ancestors, teach them how to rest in peace, hey..."

  He shook his head with self-blame on his face.

  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 is it said? 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 there was a trace of killing intent in them...

  His face became hideous again.

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

  Being the emperor, he has suppressed his temper very much. Even after digging his ancestors' graves, he still maintained 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 peace."

  Yi Shiha 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 returned to sit down in front of the imperial case, and brought up the Zhubi, which was hanging on the list below.

   Drops of red ink began to drip down.

   Zhu Di's hands trembled slightly.

  He is used to using force to solve problems.

  Since the choice is to use force, then right now... these thousands of congregants who have been arrested are traitors.

  It's just... personally hooking up so many people, so how many people will be implicated in it?

  At this moment, a **** suddenly stepped in and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

  Zhu Di raised his head.

  The **** said: "Nanzhen Fusi...Nanzhen Fusi... got entangled with people and horses. Besides, the model battalion was also dispatched."

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

   "Gong Wei reported that he had captured the thief, and wanted 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 all went out."

  As soon as this remark came out...

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

  Zhu Di's face was stiff.

  Yi Shiha was also shocked.

  Yi Shiha anxiously said: "I caught a thief, what does that mean? Didn't there be no noise before that? What kind of thief did you catch?"

  The **** said: "Actually...in fact, the servants don't know much about it. They only say... who the Buddha father and mother are... and there are many backbones of the White Lotus Sect."

  Yi Shiha listened, his eyes lit up suddenly, and 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, he looked unbelievable, and said in surprise: "The thief...really caught? How could it be... so fast... It's not that these two people are very cunning and have been hiding, even the backbone of the Bailian Taoist below , 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 gods and ghosts..."

  The little **** is about to run away...

   Zhu Di suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute."

The little **** 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 on... I'll go, I'll go and see for myself."

  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 is not enough for me to kill."

   Seeing that Yi Shiha was still worried, he paused for a moment, and then Zhu Di said again: "Ask some more guards to follow you, and the ministers of the church will also 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: "Leave it alone, you will know everything when you 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 slept well and felt much more comfortable. Thank you for your understanding.
