The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 145 Hidden dangers of Maitreya Religion

Early the next morning, Mu Xu came to pay his respects to his grandmother, and Concubine Zhang immediately talked about Nazheng.I just heard her say, "Although we have made an agreement with Lin Yatou's father, our family still has to follow the Six Rites. Now that we are fully prepared, it will only take two months, so there is no delay."

"I found someone to check the date. It's not bad on the [-]th day of the second month. I will accept the levy on that day and send the dowry first. On the [-]th day of the second month, I will invite the Concubine Nan'an and the four Quanfu wives. Please visit the door."

As soon as Mu Xu heard the cumbersome ceremony, his scalp became numb, and he said quickly, "It's all arranged by the grandmother. If there is a place where the grandson needs to run errands, just ask."

"Forget it, you young people don't like to hear this, and grandma won't tell you anymore, you just wait to get a wife." Concubine Zhang saw that his eyes were empty, so she shook her head and sent him away.

When Mu Xu came out of his grandmother's place, he thought about asking Xue Baochai for an imperial doctor. He wanted to post a post, but then he remembered the Lengxiang pill and the prescription in his hand.After thinking about it, I decided to go for it myself.

He came to Tai Hospital, and after finding Zheng Yuan's sentence, he didn't waste much time, and directly explained the matter.Courtyard Zheng readily agreed, saying that he would go to Xue's mansion in person tomorrow.Then he carefully looked at the prescription of Leng Xiangwan.After watching for a while, his brows frowned.

Mu Xu's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "But is there something wrong with this prescription?"

Zheng Yuanpian didn't answer first, instead he closed his eyes and thought for a while before he said, "According to the crown prince, that girl has heat poison in her womb, so this prescription is a little out of date."

"how do I say this?"

Zheng Yuanpan explained, "This recipe is just a sham. Those petals are edible, so frost and snow are rare in four seasons. So people who don't know will think that this recipe is extremely ingenious, like overseas. Immortal Fang."

"But when it comes to the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, all these things added up are not as good as the blind cork used in brewing. I thought about it carefully, those flowers and grasses, on the contrary, are like those used by concubines in the two Jin Dynasties to increase body fragrance. secret recipe."

Mu Xu didn't know much about it, so he went straight to the point, "If that person takes it for a long time, will there be any hindrance?"

"If normal people take it, it's fine, but people suffering from heat poisoning take too much, it may affect their life expectancy, because those heat poisons are all pressed in the body, once it breaks out, it will be difficult to cure." Zheng Yuan judged Mu Xu looked anxious, and comforted,

"But you don't have to worry, my son. As long as the girl has not taken it for more than ten years, there is still a remedy. First pull out the heat poison in her body, and then use the method of food tonic, it can also be cured."

Hearing this, Mu Xu breathed a sigh of relief, because Xue Baochai had only used Lengxiang pills for four or five years, so he bowed his hand to the court judge Zheng, "Then leave it all to Mr. Zheng."

"Where is the son, the doctor is the parent's heart, this is what the old man should do." Zheng Yuan did not dare to take credit for it.

Mu Xu greeted him again, and then he came out of the Imperial Hospital. As soon as he walked to the door, he saw Zhao Le approaching him. When he saw Mu Xu, he immediately beamed with joy, "My lord, I finally found you. Hurry up!" , the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty are still waiting for you."

"But what's the urgency?"

Zhao Le took Mu Xu to Longshou Palace while explaining to him, "It was not reported yesterday by the Embroidery Guards about the Maitreya Sect. After the Supreme Emperor knew about it, he attached great importance to it. It was announced early this morning. Feng Tongzhi went to the palace to inquire, and finally found out that the prince was the first to discover this matter, so he ordered his servants to come, and the prince Xuan went to question."

Mu Xu followed him to the side hall of the Dragon Head Palace. As soon as he entered, he saw the Supreme Emperor lying on the couch, Tu Zhen sitting in front of him talking, and Feng Ziying standing respectfully in the center of the side hall.

"I have seen the Supreme Emperor, Your Majesty." Mu Xu bowed first.

"Cough, cough, free from courtesy." The Supreme Emperor said weakly.

After Mu Xu got up, he was shocked when he saw the appearance of the Supreme Emperor.But after not seeing him for a year, the Supreme Emperor's appearance changed, making him almost unrecognizable.A year ago, the Supreme Emperor's hair was only gray, and his body looked healthy.But now his head is full of silver hair, his skin is sagging, and there are age spots everywhere.Seeing his appearance, Mu Xu couldn't help but asked with concern, "Grandfather, are you alright?"

Seeing his true feelings, the Supreme Emperor replied with a smile of relief in his eyes, "It's just that the fate has arrived, Xu'er doesn't have to worry. Let me tell you how you found out about Maitreya's teaching of demons."

"Yes, Weichen knows everything. Speaking of which, it has something to do with one of my girls." Mu Xu then told Yinglian's background first.

"Shameless!" Hearing what Jia Yucun had done, Tu Zhen was furious.

"Cough, it's all right. He's just a small person, so why get so angry, you turn around and make an order, just deal with him, first listen to Xu'er to say that the business is important." The Supreme Emperor waved his hand to signal Tu Zhen not to be angry.

Seeing that Tu Zhen calmed down, Mu Xu continued, "I found that girl's mother, and learned from her mother that her father followed a pair of scarlet monks and lame Taoist monks to become a monk shortly after she was abducted. Yes. I didn’t pay much attention at first, but ordered someone to search for the whereabouts of these two people. Unexpectedly, after this investigation, the problem was discovered.”

"It's just because these two people have appeared in many places. If it's just that, it's fine. But I found that sometimes they were together one day before, but they appeared hundreds of miles away the next day."

Speaking of this, he smiled wryly and said, "I'm ashamed to say that I was really deceived at the beginning. I wondered in my heart, could there really be gods in this world? Until yesterday I received the news that they appeared in the capital, and I thought about it. Under the circumstances, I still decided to verify it myself. The two majesties already know about the following things."

After listening to Mu Xu's narration, the Supreme Emperor was silent for a long time before exhorting Tu Zhen, "Since the establishment of the Maitreya Sect, it has taken rebellion as its mission. Moreover, these monsters are good at deceiving people's hearts, and those common people are ignorant. They were instigated. So don’t be careless, immediately issue a decree to let the local government pay attention to this matter, once these monsters are found, there is no need to show mercy, and they will be executed on the spot. Anyone who dares to cover up will be guilty of the same crime.”

"Yes, grandson understands." Tu Zhen nodded seriously.

Having said so many words, the Supreme Emperor was a little tired, so he waved his hand to signal them to back down.

Mu Xu and Feng Ziying followed Tu Zhen out of the Dragon Head Palace, and Tu Zhen said to Mu Xu, "Cousin, what do you think about the Maitreya Sect?"

Mu Xu replied, "I think it's best to do both."

"Appreciate further details."

"Your Majesty first issued an order according to the Supreme Emperor's will, and then ordered the embroidered clothes guards to investigate secretly among the people."

"Well, this is a way. But I always feel that doing this is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack." Tu Zhen sighed.

Mu Xu thought it was reasonable, he thought for a moment, and suddenly had some clues, "If your Majesty thinks you want to rebel, what is the most important thing?"

"Of course it's human." Tu Zhen blurted out.

Mu Xu smiled and shook his head, "Whether this is true or not, in my opinion, the most important word is money. And Da Chu, where is the richest?"

Tu Zhen suddenly realized, "Jiangnan!"

"That's right, it's Jiangnan. The most important reason is that the imperial court is not strictly controlling Jiangnan. When I went to Yangzhou for business last time, I found out that the gentry and businessmen in Jiangnan are a bit vicious towards the imperial court. So, if I am one of those If Maitreya teaches demons, he will definitely develop followers in the south of the Yangtze River."

"Okay, Feng Tongzhi, after I order you to go back, I will immediately send the embroidered clothes guards to conduct a close investigation in the Jiangnan area without any mistakes." Tu Zhen immediately ordered Feng Ziying.

After Feng Ziying received the decree, Tu Zhen thought about the situation in Jiangnan that Mu Xu had mentioned, and said worriedly, "Jiangnan is a place where the imperial court pays a lot of taxes. How could it become like this?"

Mu Xu explained to him, "Jiangnan has always been rich. Local officials and troops have been stationed there for a long time, so they will inevitably be corrupted by rich people. In addition, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Those people don't take the court laws seriously. gone."

"What should I do? Those civil and military officials really deserve to die. They never told me about these things."

"There is no good way to do this at the moment. We can only mobilize more officials from the south of the Yangtze River, and we can't let them stay in one place for too long." It takes a long time for the order to reach the place, and no matter how good the method is, it will not cure the symptoms.
