Ming Dynasty: A hundred-year-old immortal cultivator, Zhu Yuanzhang’s biological father

Chapter 30: Teach your great-grandson that everyone has unlimited potential!

Zhu Yuanzhang was said to have lost his temper.

It was Zhu Biao who persuaded him.

It’s not that he knows nothing about Taoism. In fact, on the contrary, he knows it better than Zhu Biao!

A few years ago, when he first came to power, in order to gain Taoist support and consolidate his throne, he made a special trip to Longhu Mountain and wrote in his own hand a huge stone tablet that said, "Forever in charge of Taoist affairs in the world."

And that stone tablet,

In the 21st century, it still exists.

As long as people go to Longhu Mountain, they can see this stone tablet.

Zhu Yuanzhang understood Taoism.

I also watched Taoism with my own eyes from its rise to its decline.

Before the Anti-Yuan Dynasty, Taoism was crowded with people.

When he went there a few years ago, the talent was withering.

There are many tourists.

But there are very few Taoist priests in the mountains.

After sorting out these things, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was originally like an angry lion, became calm.

Zhu Yuanzhang spat out his breath: "Then, Biao'er, what do you think we should do?"

Zhu Biao cupped his hands and said, "Yang Jianzheng was given a generous burial. His family, young and old, were protected by the imperial court and received [pensions] from them."

"We declare to the outside world that Supervisor Yang died of a normal cause!"

The words fell.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly.

Zhu Biao noticed it and immediately said: "Father, do you still feel something is wrong?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "A good person died in Tianyun Temple by such a coincidence? No, we still want to check this Taoist temple."

Zhu Biao thought for a while and said, "Father, it's better to do this."

"The Immortal is about to take up the post of Chief Supervisor of Qintian Supervisor, and Deputy Supervisor Lu Ben originally thought that it would be his turn when Yang Supervisor Zheng abdicates. Now that the position will be snatched away by the Immortal, he must be dissatisfied."

"With his temperament, he will definitely take action against the immortal. How about we... wait and see what happens? Let's see what he will find out about the immortal."

"Let the Deputy Superintendent of Qintian Prison Zheng Luben explore the way. If we find out that something is wrong with the Immortal, we will also start a thorough investigation of Tianyun Temple. If he doesn't find anything, we don't need to take any action."

Lu Ben is Lu's father, and ethically speaking, he is Zhu Biao's father-in-law.

It is really disgusting that he designed Lu Ben in this way.

But this is the Di family, and you need to learn the art of controlling people when you are in the Di family.

Sometimes even relatives can be designed. This is why later generations said that "the most ruthless emperor's family".

In fact, Zhu Biao respected Lu Ben at first and was very filial, but Zhu Yuanzhang only thought that the Zhu family were his relatives, so he taught Zhu Biao how to govern people over the years, and taught Zhu Biao that he only thought that the Zhu family was his family.

Zhu Yuanzhang was thoughtful when he heard this.

Soon, the frown began to loosen.

He had long been dissatisfied with Lu Ben. Lu Ben had no ideas and was arrogant because his father was the Crown Princess. He was a person who relied on connections. He had wanted to take action for a long time.

But if you do it, it's easy for people to gossip.

It was okay for other things to be gossiped about, and Zhu Yuanzhang was not afraid, but after all, Lu Ben was Zhu Biao's father-in-law and his own in-laws.

It has something to do with filial piety.

The Ming Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety.

So Zhu Yuanzhang didn't do anything to him. He just removed him from his original post and arranged for him to be a sinecure and work as a deputy supervisor in Qintian Prison.

There weren't many things that the imperial court needed to do with the Qin Tian Jian, and whenever he did, he would always go to the Superintendent, and there was no need for him as the Deputy Superintendent. He was a real idler.

"Zhong, I'll do as you say."

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and continued: "Biao'er will be responsible for burying Supervisor Yang generously. Do it well and let all the officials see that you are the successor of the subordinates who are considerate."

Zhu Biao cupped his hands: "Father, I understand."

After saying that, he saw Zhu Yuanzhang walking outside as fast as the wind. "Father, where are you going?"

"We haven't finished discussing the disaster yet."

Zhu Biao couldn't help but ask.

Zhu Yuanzhang fluttered his sleeves and walked away without looking back. He said impatiently: "Someone has died. I'm sorry, let's go out for a walk and get some fresh air."
.
….…….….….….
Yingtianfu, Zhuque Street.

People were coming and going on the street, and Zhu Changye also came here with Zhu Xiongying who had just arrived.

Yang Ruchang's death did not make Zhu Changye feel much at ease.

At his age, he has seen too much death.

Everyone he knew in Zhujia Village was dead, and he had also returned from a trip to Guimen Pass. He had cultivated his character over the past few decades, and now the City God often encountered life and death errands...
The combination of many experiences made death, in Zhu Changye's eyes, just a common thing like eating and drinking, without causing any disturbance.

It was time for lunch when we took Zhu Xiongying out.

There was food in Tianyun Temple, and he had everything he wanted to eat, but today he wanted to eat something outside.

In front of a noodle stall, Zhu Xiongying quickly stepped forward, wiped the bench, and said with a smile: "Master, sit down."

Zhu Changye laughed: "You kid, you are serious."

Master and apprentice sat down.

Ordered two bowls of dandan noodles.

While waiting for the noodles, a beggar saw the two of them dressed in unusual clothes and came over.

"Master, please give me something to eat."

The beggar stretched his bowl towards Zhu Changye.

Seeing this, Zhu Xiongying hurriedly said: "I'll come, I'll give it to you!"

He took out a few pennies from his arms, threw them into the bowl, and then shouted to the beggar to leave quickly.

The beggar thanked him several times and staggered away on crutches.

After the beggar left, Zhu Xiongying breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhu Changye looked at it, his eyes flickered, and he said calmly: "Xiongying, do you think he is dirty?"

"Yeah, he smells so bad..." Zhu Xiongying said subconsciously, but after coming back to his senses, he quickly waved his hands and said: "No, no, no, Master, I don't have it."

Zhu Changye laughed: "You kid, what do you have to say to your teacher?"

"Besides, immortal cultivators have always been careful not to hide things. If you dislike something, you dislike it. There is no need to lie to gain a good impression as a teacher."

Hearing this, Zhu Xiongying took a deep breath and said seriously: "Master... I actually think he is dirty. I have never smelled such a stinky smell on him. It is stinkier than the toilet in the imperial palace. "

Zhu Changye sighed: "Yes, it does stink."

"You were born in the imperial palace and have lived in fine clothes since you were a child. You are not used to this smell, but Master... you often smelled it back then. Even your grandfather was a beggar for a while."

"Xiongying, you can dislike him for being stinky, but you must never look down on him. Do you understand?"

"Everyone has unlimited potential in their body. Everyone is equal. It's just that some people have discovered it and some people have not, which creates class gaps."

Zhu Xiongying nodded: "Master, I understand!"

He respects the Master and is grateful to the Master.

Because the master not only saved him, but also saved his grandma, and he is also a cultivator of immortality.

Listen to Master and you will never go wrong.

Zhu Xiongying looked at the beggar again.

The beggar was buying some more buns with the few pennies he had begged for. Zhu Xiongying looked at him, grinning from ear to ear because he got the buns, without the slightest dislike.

As Master said, the compulsion is to look at him as an equal.

It is said that it is forced because he has been pampered since he was a child, which made him develop the instinct to dislike these people. He is working hard to overcome it.

Maybe he couldn't overcome it now, but as long as he persisted, he believed he could overcome this dislike.

Become what Master said, be able to look at anyone with equal eyes, even a beggar.
