Ming Dynasty: 100-year-old Heavenly Master, Zhu Yuanzhang’s biological father

Outside the capital, on the top of a certain mountain.

Zhu Xiongying was dressed in black and covered his face, looking at the official road below.

Behind him were members of the Yulong Gang, all dressed in black and masked, obviously here to rob.

“Gang leader, are we too arrogant to commit robbery on official roads? asked deputy gang leader Liu Xiaoshu

“Arrogant? Zhu Xiongying spread his hands and said,”What a big deal.””

Liu Xiaoshu stopped asking. He knew Zhu Xiongying’s identity. The eldest grandson of the Ming Dynasty wanted to rob him. Why didn’t he follow him?

Zhu Xiongying raised his eyes and looked into the distance. There happened to be a caravan coming over there. It looked like a long queue. , dozens of carriages, and a team of hundreds of people

“Such a large team, from south to north, across the thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty, this is arrogant.”His eyes were cold.

It turned out that the caravan was the smuggling team of Prince Consort Ouyang Lun. They transported tea and salt from the south to the northwest border for sale. They could earn at least three million taels of silver per trip.

“The gang leader, the leader, is called Zhou Bao.” Liu Xiaoshu introduced,”The steward of the Prince Consort’s Mansion is really arrogant. It is said that when ordinary local officials want to investigate him, he will just slap him.”

“Later, keep alive.”Zhu Xiongying waved.

He had to leave these people to the Jinyiwei to dig.

Not long after, the caravan arrived below.

Zhu Shizhen raised his arm and smashed it down. Hundreds of people from the Yulong Gang rushed down with knives.

The caravan. Seeing hundreds of people rushing down, he was shocked. The leader, Zhou Bao, yelled:”Don’t even take pictures, we will arrive in the capital soon. Hold on, I will send someone to the capital to report the news.””

Scout!

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Xiongying raised his hand and struck the Divine Finger of Tianxiaxi, piercing his shoulder.

“ah!”

Zhou Bao let out a shrill scream and rolled off his horse. He got up and shouted:”Do you know who I am? Dare you rob here?”

“Zhou Bao from the Prince Consort’s Mansion, right? Zhu

Xiongying’s voice was as cold as a knife, with disdain,”Do you think you are great?” Don’t talk about you, the consort behind you won’t be able to escape this time.”

Zhou Bao was shocked. He knew that the other party was coming with bad intentions.

“Brothers, kill.”He roared.

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Xiongying instantly appeared in front of him like a ghost, grabbed his neck, and shouted:”Everyone, don’t move.”

There was a little man who wanted to sneak into the jungle nearby and go to the capital to report the news.

The moment he bounced up, Zhu Xiongying raised his hand and pointed. The little man’s chest exploded and he fell heavily. A burst of blood mist sprayed down..

Everyone 340 dared not move.

Liu Xiaoxiao, the deputy gang leader, led the Yulong Gang to tie up everyone here.

“Damn, this robbery is too easy.” he muttered

“Take all the carriages away.” Zhu Xiongying ordered.

Liu Xiaoshu led the Yulong Gang and quickly drove the carriage away.

Zhu Xiongying glanced at Zhou Bao who was struggling, fell down hard, and with a bang, Zhou Bao fainted.

……

Two hours after Zhu Xiongying left with the Yulong Gang, the Jinyiwei commander Mao Xiang came with hundreds of Jinyiwei.

It was when he was at the Jinyiwei Yamen that he found a piece of paper quietly under his desk. The paper described the details of the smuggling process of Prince Consort Ouyang Lun, and indicated that the team involved in the smuggling was at this location.

“Take them all back.”Mao Xiang gave the order.

Zhou Bao didn’t wake up until everyone was imprisoned in Jinyiwei Prison.

Wow!

A basin of cold water was poured on Zhou Bao’s face. Zhou Bao finally woke up and opened his eyes. In an instant, he exclaimed:”Master Mao?”

Then, he looked around and found that he was in a prison.

“Zhou Bao, right? Let me introduce, this is the Jinyiwei Prison. Mao Xiang pointed to the torture instruments on the wall,”If the person who enters my prison does not cooperate, I have more than a hundred ways to make him cooperate.”

Zhou Bao became numb instantly, his face turned pale, and he knelt down. Shivering.

In less than an hour, he confessed everything.

Mao Xiang looked at his confession with shock.

This was a smuggling group spread across the thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty, and no one knew how many officials were involved in it.

His intuition told him that something big was going to happen.

He hurriedly entered the palace with Zhou Bao’s confession

, knelt down to Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, handed over Zhou Bao’s confession, and said. The whole process.

Bang!

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the table angrily:”The prince-in-law’s butler? A smuggling group spread throughout the thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty? We have banned the private sale of tea and salt, but they actually… actually……”

In an instant, murderous intent enveloped the entire hall.

Zhu Biao had not seen his father with such murderous intent for a long time, and he quickly said:”Father, this is just Zhou Bao’s confession. Maybe it’s not like that.”

“We have to investigate, get to the bottom of it!

Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down and ordered to Mao Xiang,”You Jin Yiwei will investigate the case immediately. Don’t arrest the consort first, so as not to alert the enemy.” For such a big smuggling operation, there must be others involved.”

“Obey the decree.”The leader Mao Xiangchen ordered

“Also, who is the person who reported the news to you?”A cold light flashed in Zhu Yuanzhang’s eyes,”They must have robbed the silver, find them out too.”

“yes.”Mao Xiang took the order and retreated.

Zhu Yuanzhang’s eyes were cold and thoughtful.

……

Prince Consort’s Mansion.

Ouyang Lun is listening to music. He is waiting for Zhou Bao to come back. Looking at the time, it should be here.

He waited until dusk, but Zhou Bao didn’t come back. However, the people he sent out did come back, saying that they had left the capital for dozens of miles and had not seen Zhou Bao’s team.

“Could something have happened?”He suddenly felt bad.

So, all the servants in their mansion were sent out to inquire about Zhou Bao.

There was no news about Zhou Bao. Princess Anqing came back from the palace. She brought a new set of clothes and handed them to Ouyang Lundao. :”Husband-in-law, in three days, my father will call a court meeting, and we will all participate. This is your new court uniform.””

“good.”Ouyang Lun took the clothes.

At the moment, he was not in the mood to think too much about why it was called such a big meeting.

Princess Anqing naturally knew why. It was because the father wanted to tell the world, announce the identity of the old Celestial Master, and respect him as the Supreme Emperor.

Ouyang Lun dealt with Princess Anqing and found a reason to leave the Prince Consort’s Mansion.

He originally wanted to go to the Marquis of Ji’an, but he stopped halfway.

Now he had finally established his position with the Huaixi Junhou. , if something happened to Zhou Bao and he couldn’t solve it himself, it would definitely affect his status.

What’s more, Zhou Bao might not have been in trouble. Maybe he was delayed for something on the road.

In the end, Ouyang Lun returned to the Prince Consort’s Mansion with nothing. Do it.

He doesn’t know that his every move is being monitored by Jin Yiwei.

……

Korean government.

It’s very lively here, and all the princes of Huaixi are drinking here.

Lu Ben, the Minister of Civil Affairs, was also present. He was from Suzhou and also called himself a Huaixi native.

Li Shanchang invited him to a banquet. Everyone at the banquet was from Huaixi. It was self-explanatory.

Lu Ben was secretly happy. If the Huaixi military princes all supported Zhu Yunwen, there might be another chance.

“Everyone, have you received the news?”Li Shanchang said with a smile,”Three days later, His Majesty called for a meeting and notified me, who was idle at home and didn’t know what the big event was.”

“Yes, the emperor has not held such a large court meeting for a long time.”Lu Ben smiled

“Mr. Lu, you don’t know what’s going on?” Lu Zhongheng asked

“I really don’t know. Lu Ben spread his hands and said,”The prince doesn’t know either.””

This means that he has asked the prince, and it also means that he is unusual. He is the prince’s father-in-law, and he is trusted by the prince.

Many people are secretly disdainful, because Lu Ben’s daughters have been reduced to the prince’s concubines.. (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

“Isn’t it because the prince wants to establish a princess?”Yongchang Hou Lanyu stood up and said.

As soon as he said these words, everyone exclaimed.

Not to mention, it is really possible that it is about establishing a crown princess.

“If so, that’s a good thing.” Yan’an (babe) Hou Tang Shengzong said,”The Crown Princess must choose a virtuous woman from the prince’s family, but she must choose a virtuous woman from the family of us.”

After Lu Ben heard this, his expression changed drastically.[]

If that were the case, he, Luben, would be worthless.

Li Shanchang glanced slowly over and smiled slightly:”If that’s the case, we have to have a rough idea in mind. When the emperor asks, we know how to answer.”

What he meant was, whose daughter should be promoted to the position of crown princess?

For a time, many people were looking forward to it. Who doesn’t want to become a relative of the emperor? What’s more, the princess is the future queen.

After some discussion, they came up with three candidates.

When the time comes, I will report to these three people. The final decision will definitely be made by the emperor and empress.

……

Soon, it was the day of the great court meeting.

The Great Court Meeting was held in the square in front of Fengtian Hall, which could accommodate enough people.

Li Shanchang, who had not been in court for a long time, wore a brand-new official uniform and walked slowly on the royal road. Everyone who passed by saluted him.

Because he is the head of the country and the former prime minister, so his qualifications and achievements are there.

Even the descendants of the royal family had to salute him.

He was also secretly curious that even the princess and her consort were present at today’s court meeting.

At this time, a white-robed Taoist priest walked by without saluting him. He looked up and was surprised:”Master Tian?”

The person who walked by was Zhu Shizhen. He glanced at him and said,”Are you Li Shanchang?”

Li Shanchang Being called by his first name for the first time, he smiled coldly:”That’s me, are you here to attend the imperial meeting?”

“The emperor insists that Pindao come, which is annoying to death.”Zhu Shizhen’s tone was irritable.

“Heavenly Master, although you are older, you cannot be rude to the Emperor. Li Shanchang put on the air of a duke and said,”You don’t have a title. Why don’t you wear court clothes when you go to court?””

“If you have a title, can you not wear it? Zhu Shizhen asked with a smile

“The princes of the Six Kingdoms can enter the court wearing casual clothes, but how can they not wear court clothes when there is such a scene in the court?”Li Shanchang said coldly.

He even patted his own official uniform.

“Tsk tsk, you look down on the poor Taoist who is serving you this time. If the poor Taoist wants to wear it, he must wear a dragon robe.”Zhu Shizhen laughed loudly.

“You…you are presumptuous.”Li Shanchang shouted angrily.

However, he just shouted angrily and didn’t dare to do anything serious. He also knew that the old Heavenly Master was a powerful person, but on this occasion, as the leader of the six kingdoms, he wanted to be high. One person, putting on the airs of a prince

“Li Shanchang, you, the prince of the country, are really nothing in the eyes of Pindao.”Zhu Shizhen was disdainful.

He strode away, leaving Li Shanchang who was so angry that he wanted to jump.

……

There were people standing in front of Fengtian Hall.

However, everyone’s position is strictly regulated, and many officials cannot make progress in their lifetime.

Of course, those standing at the front were the princes and the princes.

As the leader of the six kingdoms, Li Shanchang is at the front.

Directly in front of him was Zhu Yuanzhang sitting on the throne.

After some pilgrimage rituals.

On the golden dragon chair, Zhu Yuanzhang sat as straight as a pine tree, his face looking gloomy and mysterious under the illumination of the palace lantern. He spoke slowly, and the news he announced was as shocking as a bolt from the blue.

“Heavenly Master is my biological father.”His voice was deep and majestic.

As soon as these words came out, the civil and military officials in the court instantly fell into deathly silence, leaving only Zhu Yuanzhang’s voice echoing in the air. The ministers’ eyes widened, as if they wanted to swallow his words. They He couldn’t believe his ears, let alone accept such news.

Li Shanchang’s face instantly turned pale, and the jade tablet in his hand trembled slightly. His eyes widened, but he couldn’t make any sound. Their brows were furrowed, and the muscles on their faces were twitching. Their eyes widened, as if questioning the authenticity of the news, and their hands gripped the Yuhu tightly, their knuckles turning white from the force. His mouth opened wide, as if he could stuff an egg into it.

The whole place fell into dead silence, and only Zhu Yuanzhang’s voice continued to echo in the air. The ministers’ eyes were wide, and their faces were full of shock. Doubtful.

After Zhu Yuanzhang roughly explained the process, he raised his hand towards eunuch Wang

Jinghong and started to declare:

“A person’s closest relatives should not be close to his father and son.

Therefore, the father has the world, and it is passed down to the son; The day before yesterday, there was great chaos in the world, wars and revolutions, and the suffering of all the people.

My relatives were strengthened and sharpened, and I personally led the soldiers in case of danger, quelled the riots, established the princes, suppressed the troops and calmed the people, and the world was peaceful.

This is the lesson of my father.

The kings, generals, ministers, and officials all respect me as emperor, but my father has no title.

Today, I honor my father as the Supreme Emperor.

”

After his words fell, the old master in dragon robes walked out of the back hall.

The ministers were stunned.

Zhu Shizhen came to the ministers and stood still.

Zhu Yuanzhang on the throne stood up and said in a deep voice:” Dear friends, come with us to pay homage to the Supreme Emperor.”

He bowed.

The ministers below wanted to kneel down, and they all knelt down.

“See the Supreme Emperor, long live the Supreme Emperor, long live the Supreme Emperor”

“See the Supreme Emperor, long live the Supreme Emperor, long live the Supreme Emperor”

“See the Supreme Emperor, long live the Supreme Emperor.

Zhu Shizhen’s gaze slowly swept across.

Zhu Yuanzhang’s voice continued:”From now on, the Supreme Emperor’s decrees are like imperial decrees.””

The ministers bowed again.

Zhu Shizhen smiled and glanced at Li Shanchang, who was standing in the front.

Li Shanchang was numb, his body could not stop shaking, and he almost fell down.
