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

Zhu Yuanzhang weighed the pros and cons in his mind and still felt very interested in knowing what the future would hold.

Learning from history can help us understand the rise and fall of nations. Now that there is a way to directly peek into the future, he can at least avoid bad choices.

For example, this damn Emperor Xuanzong Zhu Yunwen, Old Zhu is still frightened of him.

The King of Xiang and his family went to die. Although he appeared to be eating rice dumplings happily, he was deeply saddened.

Now knowing the stupid things Zhu Yunwen had done, Zhu Yuanzhang, for the sake of the crown prince, did not humanely destroy this guy, and also ensured that he would never have the chance to touch power again.

Liu Xian didn't care what the emperor was thinking, he only cared about achieving his goal, nodded with satisfaction, and then put forward his own request:

"Your Majesty is wise. I am about to overcome the heavenly tribulation, but before that, there is a human tribulation that needs to be overcome first."

Human robbery?

They understood that Liu Xian wanted the emperor to help deal with the so-called "human disaster", but Liu Xian did not say what the human disaster was.

Everyone was puzzled. Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have thought of something. After pondering for a while, he told everyone to leave.

"Wait, the Crown Prince and... Prince Yan, please stay."

Before the people who obeyed the order to leave had taken a few steps, Zhu Yuanzhang hesitantly added another sentence.

Just this sentence set off a huge wave in the hearts of these nobles!

The emperor asked them to leave, obviously not wanting them to know the subsequent conversation between Liu Xian and the emperor, but he asked the prince and the King of Yan to stay.

The crown prince is the rightful heir, so there is nothing wrong with him staying, but the prince of Yan also stayed, which made others wonder what the emperor was thinking.

A fight between dragons and tigers is about to begin. Who will win and who will lose? Some princes have already begun to think about whether they should place a bet and try to see if they can get the credit for following the dragon.

After everyone left, Zhu Yuanzhang ignored his two sons, as if he simply treated them as decorations, and looked directly at Liu Xian:

"The human calamity you mentioned refers to the Dao Alliance. They are taking too many actions."

In recent years, with the spread of Liuxian's faith, the Taoist Alliance has not been outdone and has been using some means every now and then, which can't kill people but at least make them disgusting.

For example, it is claimed that Liu Xian was a disciple of a Taoist god, and that he came down to the mortal world to practice under the guidance of the god.

Quite a few people actually believed it, and some even expanded upon it, adding a lot of plot points.

Other things like damaging the reputation of Liuxian Temple and secretly snatching believers are not uncommon.

Liu Xian said with a half-smile:

"Your Majesty, why do you ask when you already know the answer? The power of the Daoists is not small when they stick together. Aren't there many ministers in your court who are under the command of the Daoists?"

Taoist beliefs have been rooted for thousands of years and their foundation is extremely vast. Even if Ling Xiao uses two approaches at the same time, it would be impossible to empty it out in a short period of time.

There are also some intangible things that cannot be compared with the newly established Liuxian Temple.

Now that she has reached a critical moment, any threat must be eliminated in advance. She must ensure that she has the best "time", "place" and "people".

Zhu Yuanzhang choked and said directly:

"I can take action, but there must be a limit. I can't pay too much."

He gave his bottom line, and the method was very simple, which was to use force to pressure people. From today on, he would send troops to close down all the famous Taoist sects, and no one was allowed to enter but not leave.

But the time limit only lasts until Liu Xian's tribulation is over, and only the door is sealed, and other emperors will not do it.

Ling Xiao also understood that the emperor was blatantly putting equal exchange on the table.

You get what you pay for, and the emperor was only willing to pay this much in exchange for Liu Xian's "prophecy".

In the eyes of Zhu Biao and Zhu Di, who were wallflowers on the side, the emperor, who was supposed to be majestic, and the immortal who was supposed to be aloof and indifferent to the world, were as stingy as merchants in the mortal world when it came to doing business.

There was a glimmer of enlightenment in Zhu Di's eyes. Anyone can be moved by interests. The key lies in whether the interests are big enough.

After several rounds of arguments, the conditions were finally met to a level that satisfied Ling Xiao.

Liu Xian nodded without hesitation and said, "Deal."

The most tense part ended and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed.

"Your Majesty, when are you going to use these two chances? I will soon be able to transcend the tribulation."

The meaning is very clear. If we don't do it soon, this demon fairy will be busy transcending tribulation and will have no time to fulfill the agreement.

"Not far, not far, just at the morning court three days later." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and took a sip of tea, smacking his lips.

Now even Ling Xiao was a little curious. There were no less than three or four hundred officials participating in the morning court of the orthodox dynasty. How could Zhu Yuanzhang dare to listen to the prophecies of future generations in front of so many people?

There is no need to worry about some "ugly things" being exposed and causing people to laugh at them.

No way, no way, does he think that his dynasty will last for thousands of years? Otherwise, why would he be so confident?

The two people with the surname Zhu behind Zhu Yuanzhang were also horrified. What was their father going to do? Was he going to tear off the Zhu family’s face?

Zhu Di was even more worried, because the subsequent emperors would all be his descendants.

If there were some, um, not so wise emperor, wouldn't he be implicated as well?

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the expressions of the few people, squinted his eyes and snorted:

"There are countless dynasties that have perished in history books, and the Ming Dynasty is no exception. Now that we know about the future, it can serve as a warning. Maybe we can discover some problems early and let the Ming Dynasty continue for a while longer."

Oh, so you want to cross the river by feeling the way with your “children and grandchildren”, learn from each other’s strengths and make up for each other’s weaknesses. That’s a very bold idea.

Ling Xiao gave him a thumbs up, and then decided to select two of the most bizarre emperors to open their ancestors' eyes.

…………

Zhu Di returned to the palace with a heavy heart and ran into his own princess, Xu.

Princess Xu did not enter the palace during the Dragon Boat Festival this time because their eldest son was ill. She was worried about him so she asked for leave from the palace and stayed at home to take care of him.

Seeing the anxious look on her face, Zhu Di understood that Princess Xu knew about Liu Xian's prophecy.

He was afraid that the princess would worry if she only knew half of the story, so he told her the whole story from beginning to end, and then said:

"You don't have to worry. Father...he didn't do anything to me. I even stayed with the conversation with Liu Xian like the Crown Prince."

Princess Xu looked at her husband's excitement and sighed in her heart.

She knew that her husband was a man of great talent, but in the past he had never thought of doing so because of the Crown Prince, partly out of brotherly love and partly out of the Emperor's favor.

Everything is different now. This is destiny. Later historical books record that Prince of Yan Zhu Di led an army to rebel against the unjust monarch and eventually succeeded. He even made great achievements and created a prosperous era.

The husband has made up his mind to give it a try.

Princess Xu thought, what's wrong with that? Don't I dare to accompany him?

During the Tang Dynasty, Empress Changsun dared to accompany her husband to risk the world's condemnation. She had admired Empress Changsun's virtues in the past, and this time she wanted to emulate her.

With this thought in mind, Princess Xu felt at ease, and even made a suggestion - to show her goodwill to Liu Xian.

Zhu Di thought about it and felt that the idea was good. First of all, if he was not Liu Xian, he might still be one of the kings, but now it is different.

Secondly, Liuxian Temple shelters women and has considerable power, but is secretly rejected by court officials, so it can be won over.

Zhu Di looked at his wife with relief:

"As expected of a female scholar, you have extraordinary wisdom and strategies." Princess Xu did not take credit for it. Instead, she pinched Zhu Di and blamed him for teasing others.

Zhu Di pretended to be angry, but when he saw that Princess Xu was really going to hit someone, he quickly changed the subject:

"That's a good idea. My daughters are about the same age now, so let's send them to serve in the Willow Fairy Temple."

Princess Xu naturally agreed.
