Holding an ordinary script, pretending to be a god in various worlds

Queen Ma recovered from her illness.

With the connivance and acquiescence of a certain emperor, everyone who should know the news knew it, and even the "unspeakable" parts of it spread throughout the city.

After the court session, Duke Hanguo Li Shanchang took Duke Xinguo Tang He to his home to talk.

The two men sat opposite each other. The servant brought them tea. Before Li Shanchang could swallow a sip of tea, he heard a long sigh, which made him lose interest in sipping the tea.

Tang He frowned and said: "What was revealed during the morning court session today is an ominous sign."

The conversation was so confusing that Li Shanchang casually adjusted his beard, smiled knowingly, and deliberately said in a roundabout way:

"Oh, what is the matter that Duke Xin is referring to? I see that the country is peaceful and the people are safe now. Lan Yu and Mu Ying just conquered Dali, and the Duan family surrendered. The Ming Dynasty is stable. How can there be any ominous signs?"

"It is a great omen for a country to have a demon who is favored by the king!"

Bang! Tang He was so excited that he didn't care about the words and directly used the word "monster". He smashed his palm down, making a huge sound of the table being smashed, which frightened the servants who were serving him and made them tremble.

"Why are you so excited?"

Li Shanchang waved his hand and asked everyone to leave. His next words were even more straightforward:

"It's just that our emperor worshipped a monster and gave him a high position and generous salary despite the great disapproval of the world. There is no such thing in history books."

"This, how can this be the same!"

Tang He was so anxious that his veins popped out. To him, Zhu Yuanzhang was not only a loyal emperor, but also a close friend.

From ancient times to the present, no matter how wise and powerful the emperors who were obsessed with cultivating immortals were, this would always be an indelible stain in the eyes of historians!

"How is it different?" Li Shanchang raised his voice slightly, and his speech became more and more rapid like a string of cannonballs:

"As long as it does not interfere with state affairs and your majesty maintains his authority, what's wrong with merely conferring an immortal title on a snake demon who claims to be repaying a favor, for the sake of the world, the people, you and me!"

Yes, Li Shanchang did not make a big deal out of this matter, not to mention that this "Liu Xian" had not done any evil things such as building a Taoist temple, refining elixirs with gold and stone, and spreading rumors.

Even if it was done, it would not affect the Ming Dynasty. It would be just a trivial matter.

After this conversation, Li Shanchang saw Tang He's stunned expression, turned the precious teacup in his hand, and softened his tone:

"Besides, this Liu Xian did save the Queen. Given how much His Majesty values ​​the Queen, it goes without saying that he will not allow anyone to criticize this person."

As he spoke, as if thinking of something funny, Li Shanchang couldn't hide his smile:

"During the morning court session today, the Imperial Censor spoke out in opposition. What is your Majesty's response?"

This time, Tang He couldn't help but laugh.

Facing the opposition from the court officials, Zhu Yuanzhang started to curse the man and even used his local accent to attack the man's ancestors for three generations...

At that time, there were countless conversations about "Liu Xian" in the city of Nanjing. Some people believed it to be true, while others refused to believe it and shouted that the world was about to perish and evil spirits were everywhere.

Of course, in response to such remarks that shook the country's foundation, the Jinyiwei, which was just established this year, expressed its gratitude to the old iron for helping us to boost performance.

The most common attitude among the ministers was one of half-belief and half-doubt. After all, they had even prepared mourning clothes, white cloth, and ginger slices, and they watched Queen Ma really get better.

The most popular story among the people is about the queen being repaid with gratitude by the snake demon she had saved in the past.

For the spectators, this kind of story that combines fantasy, cause and effect, and royal family is the most popular.

The city was in turmoil, but Zhu Yuanzhang ignored it and instead asked people to add fuel to the fire, hoping to lure out the imaginary "hermit master".

Look! The emperor is being deceived by the monster and might even harm the people of the world!

At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang summoned Mao Xiang, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and gave him instructions to go to various famous mountains and rivers, ancient sites of immortals, famous Taoist sects, and Buddhist temples to "invite" people.

Mao Xiang could only nod his head, and pointed out a small problem very considerately:

"Your Majesty, inviting so many monks and Taoists is a big deal, it must have a reputation."

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it and slapped his head and said:

"Just say that I want to rebuild the genealogy of Taoist gods and immortals, as well as the ranking of Buddhist bodhisattvas and arhats, and also hold a Buddhist and Taoist conference."

"Your Majesty is wise," Mao Xiang's face was filled with surprise, and he flattered her:

"This name is really great. I think even if we don't invite them, once the news gets out, those monks and Taoists will rush here."

Although it may seem like nothing, Taoists respect certain gods as their ancestor, and monks and nuns in temples also worship certain Bodhisattvas and Arhats as the main deities.

Compiling the genealogy of gods and immortals and ranking the Bodhisattvas and Arhats is related to their vital interests.

Do you think your ancestor was a great god or a jinx?

With this two-pronged approach, just as Zhu Yuanzhang expected, Taoist and Buddhist temples from all over the world gradually gathered in Kyoto, ready to take action.

Countless pairs of eyes were focused on "Liu Xian" and his disciple Bai Su Su.

"Liu Xian" was hibernating, and Bai Suzhen lived deep in the palace. As there was nothing special, everything was peaceful for a while.

Finally, someone couldn't help but take action to test it out.
