Father can be an enemy to the country

After the banquet, the guests left, and Zhu Zhen personally helped the drunk fourth brother to the room to rest.

He helped him to the bed and when he was about to get up, Zhu Di grabbed Lao Liu's neck, which he couldn't wrap his hands around.

"It hurts." Lao Liu grinned: "Fourth brother, you are not drunk."

"What's this little wine?" Zhu Di smiled and said, "I just want to enjoy the care of my two royal highnesses."

"Are you satisfied?" Lao Liu smiled bitterly.

"Not very satisfied." Zhu Di said angrily: "It's a shame that I have been saying good things to you all day long in front of my sister-in-law. It's better for you to come to Nanchang to hide your love in the golden house. Besides, there are still two of them."

"Fourth brother, don't talk nonsense." Lao Liu said with wide eyes: "Liu Li is here for my senior brother, who is still in mourning. As for Run'er, he is accompanying Liu Li, what does it have to do with me? ?”

"Huan Run'er, you are so disgusting!" Zhu Di curled his lips and said, "I see how flattering Wang Bi is to you, I wish I could send my daughter to you as a child bride."

"Really? I don't believe it. Don't smear someone's innocence." Lao Liu laughed and said, "Wang Bi asked me to beat him. Fourth brother, you are thinking too much."

"I don't care. Anyway, I've already told your fourth sister-in-law that you can't let your fourth brother lose face." Zhu Di glared at the sixth brother. Knowing that this younger brother has feelings for him second only to his elder brother, he can take advantage of it.

"This kind of thing is not something I can do even if I think about it. You didn't even notice that Miao Qing ignored me." Lao Liu said depressedly.

"You are too impatient. How could you keep chatting up someone in front of her sister and brother-in-law?" Zhu Di taught the sixth brother like a veteran: "You have to ask her alone later to go shopping. Ah, enjoy the flowers, do you think she can come out?"

"Really or not?" Lao Liu's heart was pounding. He could take Liu Li out. They were childhood sweethearts, and Liu Xiang was guarded against thieves all day long. But I never expected to be able to ask Miss Xu Er out alone.

Strolling along the Qinhuai River with Tifa, damn, just thinking about it makes me so excited!

"It all depends on human effort. How will you know if you don't try." Zhu Di laughed.

He was anxious just now, fearing that his sister-in-law would fall behind, so he spoke arbitrarily.

In fact, he had no idea whether Miaoqing could agree to it, and he probably wouldn't agree to it. But he had to keep Lao Liu's appetite, otherwise the day lily would be cold by the time the boy returned to Beijing.

King Zhu Di of Yan was a vigorous and resolute person.

The day after coming to Changchang, he sent troops to various places to arrest officials, subordinates and big households who were involved in "Regardless of the Accounts".

Not only current officials, but also those who served as officials in the counties involved four years after Hongwu, even if they have resigned or moved elsewhere, will be arrested, and the whole family will go on the road together.

For a time, the official roads of all prefectures and counties in Jiangxi were filled with teams escorting prisoners.

The prison in Nanchang City has long been out of capacity.

King Yan also ordered a large temporary camp to be built to hold prisoners who were sent one after another in the open air... In fact, in this world, it is still quite cold at night. But they will be executed in a few days, so there is no need to worry about freezing.

Zhu Zhen looked at the open-air camp that was quickly overcrowded, but secretly cried out that it was a pity.

The overall quality of these people is not low. It would be a waste to kill them in vain. It would be better to exile Tamluo instead...

Alas, it's a pity that the old man didn't listen to him at all in his rage. In Boss Zhu's opinion, being exiled overseas means being out of his own hands, which would be too advantageous for these thieves.

And because of his senior brother, Zhu Zhen didn't insist on interceding for them, so he could only do it next time.

In this way, it was late February. February 19th was the day when Liu Lian turned seven.

Manqi is also called Qiqi. According to the traditional custom, sacrifices are held every seven days after a person's death, which is called "doing seven".

The most important of them are the 'Tou Qi' and 'Man Qi', which start from one end to the other. It is said that the deceased will not know that he is dead until seven days after death, so during the first seven o'clock, he will return to his home and mourn.

The seventh day is the day when the soul of the deceased returns to the underworld. This sacrifice was also particularly grand.

In addition to the sacrifices and paper figures and horses being of the highest standard, the family also invites Taoist monks to chant sutras and hold a monastery to send the deceased on his last journey. Only when there is a beginning and an end will the merits be complete.

Liu Lian was the eldest son of Uncle Chengyi and a high-ranking official of the third rank, and he died in the line of duty. Under the instruction of the two highnesses, his seventh-year-old funeral was held with great grandeur. Not only will the whole city be filled with silk, but Master Zhang will also come to preside over the ceremony in person, which can be described as a great honor.

~~

What the two highnesses didn't expect was that Zhang Tianshi knew that they were in Nanchang, but he didn't come to see them in advance.

It wasn't until the eighteenth day that the Heavenly Master's Dharma Driver arrived belatedly at the foot of Nanchang City.

The common people didn't care about this, they abandoned their work one after another and rushed outside the city to welcome Zhang Tianshi...

Surrounded by thousands of people, seven or forty-nine handsome Taoist priests wearing black crowns, apricot-yellow crane cloaks, peach wood swords on their backs, and whisks in their hands were the forerunners. Behind them were thirty-six flag-bearing Taoist priests, holding various Dharma flags high, guiding a thirty-six-carry sedan to come slowly.

Behind the sedan, on a carriage drawn by white horses, stood a large flag with a banner and four large seal characters written on it——

‘Leader Zhengyi’!

Zhang Tianshi sat high on the throne in the sedan chair, with four Taoist boys and four little Taoist nuns standing behind him, each holding a fly whisk, feather fan, sword, spittoon and other objects...

As soon as they saw the true appearance of the Heavenly Master, people were so crazy that they looked at the dust and worshiped like fallen rice fields. They bowed to the ground and shouted "Immeasurable Heavenly Master!"

The roar of the mountain and the tsunami reached the city gate tower, causing the eardrums of the two princes above to hurt.

"Zhang Tianshi, you have such a big arrogance and high prestige." Zhu Zhen covered his ears and said loudly: "It's really better to see once than to hear a hundred times."

"Yes, he is much more majestic than our two empty princes." Zhu Di also sneered: "Damn it, you dare to openly violate the ban and ride in such a big sedan to swagger through the city? Those who don't know think that this Nanchang city's surname is not Zhang. Where’s Zhu.”

"Not just Nanchang City, I think almost all of Jiangxi has the surname Zhang. I heard that many people from nearby counties came here a few days in advance to join in the fun." Zhu Zhen said in a deep voice:

"Do you know why thousands of people came to greet Zhang Tianshi today?"

"It's time to wait for the savior." The fourth child curled his lips, obviously understanding. "I hope Zhang Tianshi can subdue us two monsters."

"Haha, that's right. They won't admit defeat before Zhang Tianshi bows his head." Zhu Zhen smiled and nodded, looking down at the Tianshi guard of honor slowly passing through the city gate at his feet. "The prestige of Zheng Yiyi must be destroyed, let's start by dealing with Zhang Tianshi."

Zhang Tianshi, who was sitting on the sedan chair, seemed to be aware of it and raised his head to look at the city gate tower. He happened to meet King Chu's eyes.

I saw that he was in his early thirties, with a slender face, three long strands of beard, and paired with that Taoist robe, he really looked like an immortal Taoist.

Judging from appearance alone, he is much better than the two foolish, big, black and thick princes. In addition, the two of them were not wearing dragon robes, only ordinary round collars, and they looked like two silly sons of landlords.

Therefore, Zhang Tianshi didn't care, so he looked away and continued to move forward.

"Damn it, you didn't take us seriously. I'll deal with him later." Zhu Di said angrily.

"Fourth brother, let's calm down first. At least we can settle the accounts with him after we finish the ritual tomorrow." Zhu Zhen persuaded him.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, let him have another day of prestige tomorrow." Unknowingly, the fourth child has become very accustomed to listening to the sixth child. But he also had his own opinions:

"Simply, let's leave the day for the incision tomorrow, and treat it as a farewell to your senior brother."

"Okay, listen to fourth brother." Zhu Zhen followed the good advice.
