Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 517 From now on, there will be no more celestial masters in this world

The main hall of the chief secretary's yamen.

Seeing that Zhang Tianshi is not upside down, at this moment he still wants to avoid the important and take the light, not wanting to lose face, but also not wanting to lose face too much.

Zhu Zhen sneered when he heard the words: "Isn't this king enough to give you face? Now most of the people involved in the "Regardless of the Account Book" case have been arrested, and only the bosses you are working with have not been caught! Isn't this the biggest reward for you?" face?"

"Your Highness's care, the poor will naturally be impressed by the five." Zhang Maocheng smiled and said: "It's just that His Highness may be young, and I don't know why the kings have given preferential treatment to the 'South Zhangbei Kong' since ancient times. It is because of the preferential treatment for our two families. It is to treat Confucianism and Taoism preferentially, so that the world can return to its heart and help the court educate the people!"

"So, helping us keep our face is not only for ourselves, but also for the long-term stability of the court." Zhang Maocheng put on a face while talking.The pride that has been passed down for thousands of years made him temporarily forget his fear, and he resumed the way of a celestial master:
"Bei Shengren and Nan Tianshi are the face of the imperial court, how can they slap their own face, Your Highness, don't you think so?"

"It's a fart." King Chu's answer made his expression freeze.

"How can Your Highness talk like that?" Zhang Maocheng said helplessly, "You represent the imperial court, the emperor."

"Then this king will replace your father today and take away the bird position of this celestial master!" Zhu Zhen said with a sneer:

"Heavenly master, heavenly master, is there a teacher in heaven? My father is only the son of heaven, but you dare to call yourself a heavenly master. Could it be that my old man still wants to call you master?"

"This..." Seeing that the sixth child was going to tear down the most important signboard of his family, Zhang Maocheng lost his defense.He said anxiously: "My position as a celestial master has been passed on for more than [-] years. How can it be possible that His Highness can abolish it just by abolishing it?"

"That's right, I can abolish it if I abolish it!" Zhu Zhen looked at Zhang Maocheng coldly, and said in a deep voice: "From today onwards, you are banning the word 'Heavenly Master' together, but anyone who violates it will be treated as an arrogance." Discussion!"

As he said that, he looked at Zhang Maocheng provocatively and said, "If you don't believe me, you call yourself a celestial master now, let's see if this king will put you in a cage and throw you on the street for a month?"

"Why wouldn't I dare?" Zhang Maocheng was so excited that his face turned blue.

"Then you should say it." Zhu Zhen pressed on step by step.

"I don't..." Considering the three bloody heads and the river of blood flowing outside the Zhangjiang Gate, Zhang Maocheng finally hesitated.

"Hahaha, it turns out that Zhenren Zhang is also aware of current affairs." Zhu Zhen laughed out loud, and his laughter was full of sarcasm.

"The poor will complain to the emperor. Your highness is so ignorant of the general situation and disregarding the overall situation, I don't believe that the emperor will not be angry." Zhang Maocheng could only resort to the last resort - to find the parents.

"You still have the face to look for my father? My father named you a 'big real person', but he didn't give you a 'celestial master', because he didn't want to have a celestial master in the world! But you pretended to be stupid and lied behind your back. Continue to overreach!" Zhu Zhen sneered and said:

"Do you think the imperial court doesn't know? Before, you just opened your eyes and closed your eyes. Now that you don't eat or drink a toast, don't blame the imperial court for opening both eyes!"

"This..." Zhang Maocheng was at a loss for words for a moment.

Zhu Zhen continued to raise his voice and said:

"And since you want to fight against this king, then I don't need to be polite to you!"

"Come here, pass on the king's decree, make the "Whether the Account Book" public, and seize all the Taoist temples, manors, fields, and all the hidden fields listed in the "Whether the Account Book"! Arrest all the Taoist priests, family members, and believers in Zhengyi! , and all the hidden accounts on "Regardless Account Book"!"

"Observe the order!" Hu Quan and others responded loudly.

"Wait!" Zhang Maocheng hurriedly called out, and Hu Quan, who was going down to deliver the decree, turned his head and said loudly to Zhu Zhen, "Your Highness, are you really coming?"

"Joke, this king has killed tens of thousands of people!" Zhu Zhen looked at Zhang Maocheng with a look of caring for the mentally handicapped, and said, "Why do you idiots who marry close relatives still think I'm joking?"

"Aren't you afraid of stirring up a civil uprising?!" Zhang Maocheng was stern.

"Haha, this king likes to suppress rebellion!" Zhu Zhen laughed loudly and said, "I have the army of Jiangxi Dusi in my hand, and the forbidden army brought by the fourth brother. These elite soldiers and strong generals who are eager for military exploits must hope that you can say to do it!"

As he spoke, he stood up, pointed at Zhang Maocheng and sneered loudly: "And you, Zhang Maocheng, will become a sinner of Zhengyi through the ages. Because of this rebellion you started, Zhengyi will be reduced to a cult like Bailian Society! From then on There is no such thing as 'south Zhang Bei Kong' anymore. Zhengyi's eternal foundation will be destroyed in one day!"

"..." Zhang Maocheng collapsed on the chair after being hit by Lao Liu's verbal attacks.He knew very well that the sixth child was threatening him, but the thousands of heads falling to the ground today made him afraid to gamble.

~~
Seeing Zhang Maocheng's distressed appearance, Zhu Zhen knew that he had won the bet.

In fact, Zhang Tianshi's guess was right, Zhu Zhen really couldn't attack Zhengyi too harshly.Because the old thief didn't allow him to kill Zhengzheng...

Xu Shi's experience from commoner to emperor is too bizarre, Xu Shi's general environment is such that Boss Zhu is not an ordinary superstition.I always feel that it's not God's will in the dark, how can I become the emperor when I am a cowherd?
So even though he doesn't like the existence of celestial masters in the world, he still doesn't want to force the way of celestial masters with a long history and miraculous gods to a dead end.

Moreover, Tianshidao has made great achievements in Boss Zhu's fortune.

In the sixth year of Longfeng, Boss Zhu already had the idea of ​​proclaiming himself emperor.In order to increase his own weight, at Liu Bowen's suggestion, he issued an imperial list to recruit Zhang Tianshi to meet him.

At that time, the celestial master Zhang Normal also had a unique insight, and immediately offered Zhu Yuanzhang the amulet of "Fortune will return" to endorse Boss Zhu's rebellious cause.

At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang's strength was not considered the strongest among the princes, and his foundation was also very shallow. It was undoubtedly a great help to get the support of Zhengyi, especially Zhang Tianshi's approval.It distinguished Zhu Yuanzhang from other military leaders of the "Grass Head King in Troubled Times" and gradually developed into a cohesive political group.

In the end, it formed a dimensionality reduction blow to other princes, and had the last laugh.

And after seizing the world, faced with devastation, a thousand wastes waiting to be rebuilt, and the people urgently needing to recuperate, the political philosophy of being quiet and inaction, purifying people's hearts, is more in line with Zhu Yuanzhang's needs.

Therefore, in the first year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang awarded Zhang Tianshi the title of "Zhengyi Sijia, Protecting the Country, Explaining the Ancestor, Tongcheng, Advocating Tao and Hongde Dazheng Dazheng", and ordered him to "forever take charge of Taoism in the world".

This marks that Zhang Tianshi has leapt from the leader of Jiangnan Taoism to the leader and spiritual leader of all Taoism in the world.This is a height that Zhengdao has never reached in any dynasty.

Boss Zhu really hoped that they would continue to do their best to promote themselves and consolidate the legitimacy of the Zhu Ming Dynasty.Although it seems that they have let the emperor down.

But Zhengyi leads Taoism in the world, and Taoism is an important spiritual pillar for the people of Ming Dynasty.If this knocks them to the ground with a stick, it will definitely cause a long and strong backlash.

In a short period of time, there is a danger of believers rioting.In the long run, it will give various cults more opportunities to fill the faith vacuum vacated by Zhengyi, and it is likely that troubles are still to come.

To put it bluntly, whether it is Zhang Tianshi in Jiangxi or Confucius in Shandong, they are all tools for his old Zhu family to reduce the cost of ruling.

As long as the damage caused by this tool is less than the benefit it brings, it is best to hold your nose and use it.This is why Zhang Tianshi is confident.

But the more this happened, the more Zhu Zhen wanted to break his confidence.Make him believe that he will really kill them.Otherwise, how could these bull noses be obedient?
Deterrence is successfully established when the other party dare not ignore his threats.
