Daming: Father, I am no longer a teacher

Chapter 28 When people sit at home, disaster comes from heaven

Which of the officials who can sit in Zhongshu Province is not an old fox who has practiced for a thousand years?
Although they didn't dare to inquire about news from the palace easily, they also knew about the emperor's suppression of Longhushan.

What was the status of Longhu Mountain in the previous dynasty?The Patriarch of the Zhang family is the leader of the Taoist sect, a great master, a celestial master, and the leader of Taoism.

The Chinese aristocratic family has been passed down to this day, and the only one who can stabilize the Zhang family is probably the Kong family in Qufu.

However, the Zhang family had an old relationship with the emperor, and was also dismounted by the emperor when the Ming dynasty opened.

Li Shanchang said these words to remind these people present not to misunderstand the meaning of the emperor.

What the emperor suppressed was not monks, not Longhu Mountain, but the remnants of the previous dynasty...

Just like the Zhang family in Longhushan enjoyed all the wealth and honor in the previous dynasty, the Confucius family in Qufu was also highly respected during the Mongol rule, and even Yan Shenggong became an official in the court.

If the emperor wants to clean up Zhang Normal, what about the Kong family?
The old fox present understood.

At this time, although the Ming Dynasty had established itself, the war in the north was far from over.

The right minister of Zhongshu Province, General Xu Da's army is still attacking Shandong.Although the Patriarch of the Kong family is also a fool, he obviously does not have a clear view of the overall situation of the world.

Before the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Normal had made it clear that the chariots and horses supported the emperor, but even so, he ran over and burned the first stick of incense, and was punished by Lao Zhu just like that.

In the previous dynasty, Lao Zhang was at most a Taoist priest who was conferred in charge of Taoism in the world, and besides the title, that Duke Yansheng was the Minister of Rites in the previous dynasty. , has fantasies about Bei Yuanzang.

It's no wonder the emperor doesn't deal with this kind of person.

Even if he is a descendant of Confucius, the emperor is destined not to do anything to him, but humiliation will definitely be indispensable.

Everyone thought carefully, terrified.

If it wasn't for Li Shanchang's reminder, they really misunderstood the meaning of the emperor.

"Thank you, Prime Minister Zuo, for reminding me!"

"The left minister's words, the old man Mao Sai suddenly understood!"

All the officials got up one after another and thanked Li Shanchang. Li Shanchang squinted and accepted everyone's praise.

"The old man said this not to show off how well I can figure out the holy will, but to remind everyone that many of our Ming officials were officials in the previous dynasty. If there are some things that should be given up, they should be given up. Don't follow the example of Qufu!"

Everyone's heart trembled, thank you again, and accepted Li Shanchang's favor.

Li Shanchang liked this feeling of being surrounded by stars, and the imperial decree that was passed back to him in his hand was very meaningful.

"But then again, a person's origin is very important, just like some people, no matter how powerful they are, they will never be the most trusted person of His Majesty...!"

He didn't say who it was, but everyone in the room seemed to know who he was talking about, so these old foxes lowered their eyebrows and did not answer.

An unknown official surnamed Liu in the middle of the court was confronted again by the left minister Li Shanchang.

Both of them are the emperor's confidantes, they can't afford to mess with them.

Especially Li Shanchang, the left prime minister in front of him, he is good at everything, and he is also a good man of governance. The only shortcoming is that he is too small-minded and can't tolerate others.

Seeing that they didn't speak, Li Shanchang didn't care, so he read the content of the imperial decree again.

"Monks, Taoists, fasting and sacrificial offerings, mixed with men and women, eat and drink freely, and those who violate it will be strictly punished by the Secretary."

Emperor Hongwu's butcher knife fell on monks and Taoists faster than expected. Li Shanchang reckoned that Zhang Tianshi, who burned his head incense, probably didn't even return to Longhu Mountain, and the knife that cut at Buddhism and Taoism had already come down.

From then on, only one large Taoist temple and Buddhist temple will be left in each prefecture and county, and all monks and Taoist priests will be gathered together for unified management.

And it is strictly forbidden for them to "miscellaneously go out and mix with the people".Simply put, everything is closed, don't go out and harm the common people...

This knife cuts off the roots of the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism, and indirectly equals the management of the monks and Taoists in the world.

Li Shanchang seemed to have seen the despair of those monks and Taoists when they heard this order.

Because this is actually no different from imprisonment.

However, the emperor also made an opening in addition to this order, allowing the direct descendants of Longhushan to act cheaply, and specifically mentioning that Yingtian Mansion is not restricted by this prohibition for the time being.

Among these details, these old foxes could figure out the emperor's intentions a little bit.

The emperor chopped off Longhushan's brothers and feet with a single knife, but pretended to give them a pair of crutches.

"It is said that the child left by Zhang Normal was actually exiled by him. That poor child has become a victim of this struggle! The capital is deep, I hope this little celestial master can survive?"

Li Shanchang said to himself, this idea flashed in his mind, and then disappeared in a flash.

And Zhang Yi, the person he cared about, was still in the Taoist temple day after day, waiting for news from Huang Mu.

Huang Mu is nowhere to be found, and Longhu Mountain seems to have lost contact with Qingxin Temple.

The location of Qingxin Temple was originally remote, and Zhang Yi didn't stay at home, so he didn't know the ups and downs of the outside world.

A few days later, he waited for the emperor's reward.

The current emperor gave him twelve 镒 silver, a non-painful title, and simple repairs to Taoist temples.

From then on, the palace seemed to have forgotten his existence, did not receive him, and did not take any action.

In this way, more than a month passed.

Zhang Yi's life is very ordinary. When he gets up early every day, he will seriously practice a piece of Tai Chi that he learned in his previous life to move his muscles and bones.

It is not easy to survive in this world. A seven-year-old child has not fully grown his bones, and he cannot do strenuous exercise, so Tai Chi is the best way.

After practicing boxing, Zhang Yi would fiddle with alchemy in the room. Although he claimed that it was alchemy, he actually fiddled with his life-saving things.

It's just that Huang's father and son promised him not to accept the materials, and they didn't even come.

In normal life, Zhang Yi would inevitably complain that the father and son were a little disloyal, especially Huang Mu, who took the smallpox vaccine production method and left, but there was no news at all.

This incident made Zhang Yi feel that the Huang family and his son were unreliable. In desperation, he had to find another way to collect materials.

It's just that it's not easy. Like him, Deng Zhongxiu who lives with him is not familiar with the place in the capital.
When Zhang Yi was thinking about whether he should go out with Deng Zhongxiu to find the materials he needed,
At this time, outside, someone knocked on the door suddenly.

"Is the little real person from Longhu Mountain here?"

Although the Qingxin Taoist Temple was rewarded by the emperor, but the palace did not give plaques, and the second did not publicize it to the outside world. There is almost no incense in the Taoist temple!
It is actually a very strange thing that someone came to this Taoist temple.

Deng Zhongxiu opened the door and greeted the visitor together with Zhang Yi.

The other party entered the door, it was a servant who looked like a servant.

He looked around with disgust on his face, and then said to Zhang Yi:

"You are the proton from Longhu Mountain, come with me, my wife has something to ask you for!"

"Don't know what?"

Before Zhang Yi could answer, Deng Zhongxiu stopped in front of Zhang Yi and asked.

"I am a member of the Changfu. I am ordered by my wife to let you do something for my young master!"

A word from the servant made Zhang Yi look weird, Chang Mansion, is it the Chang Mansion he knows?
Before he could answer, Deng Zhongxiu had already refused for Zhang Yi:

"Big brother, my junior brother is still young..."

Before he finished speaking, the servant had already punched him! Deng Zhongxiu was immediately knocked down to the ground.
