Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 552: Witch Gu brings disaster in Nightmare Town. Xiao Qiang plots against Zheng Bo Duan
Seeing the emperor's questioning, Li Shulin began to recite a poem: "Two of my fifty-year-old ministers will return to their homeland this year. If they return to their hometown, it will really be like a young man who left home and returned home. His local pronunciation has not changed and his hair on his temples has faded. Children who don't recognize each other smile and ask questions. From where.'

Besides, Wei Chen's grandfather was very unpopular in Annan, and the few old confidants had long since died.There is no point in Wei Chen going back. "

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Go back, go back and take a look, build the tombs of your ancestors, burn paper money, and offer sacrifices."

I will promote you to the right minister of the Ministry of Industry, so that you can return to your hometown with honor. "

Li Shulin heard this and kowtowed quickly to thank him.

Zhu Qiyu added: "But you have to do some work for me by the way. I am building an ocean-going navy, and I need you to build several main warships for me in Annan.

Xu Youzhen will provide you with the best teak wood when the time comes. I want you to build the strongest warship, and at the same time, install the most advanced artillery on the ship.

I want a massive naval battle.

I won't let your work go in vain. As long as the powerful ocean-going navy is built and the naval battle is won, I will promote you to Minister of the Ministry of Industry and give your son Yin Guan. "

Hearing this, Li Shulin's eyes lit up.The position of minister of the Ministry of Industry is extremely tempting, and being able to serve as an official for his son is even more desirable.

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "There is another task. I want to collect all the firearms from all countries in the world and conduct research.

Regardless of whether it is advanced or backward, I want to keep track of the progress of firearms development in each country at all times.

On the basis of studying the firearms of all countries in the world, Ming Dynasty must ensure that we have what others have, and we have what others do not have. "

This is a difficult task, but Li Shulin, who comes from a family of firearms and has been immersed in it for decades, took on this challenge with great confidence.

After talking about business, Zhu Qiyu took out his wine collection and drank it while chatting, focusing on Li Shulin's explanation of Annan's customs and customs.

The monarch and his ministers talked happily and dispersed at noon.

In the city of Beijing, inside the Waidong Factory, Shu Liangzheng, Liu Jing, Lu Gao, and Lu Zhong gathered together to plan secretly.

Now Shu Liang has moved his official business to the Waidong Factory.

To the east of the Royal Horse Prison is the east wall of the imperial city.Outside the wall is the Waidong Factory.

Shu Liang is permanently stationed here to facilitate information exchange.As for the interior of the imperial city, the internal officials and supervisors are responsible for monitoring it.

Since Shu Liang had a good relationship with Liu Jing, Lu Gao and others, their communication was relatively casual.

Lu Gao was the first to report the investigation results of Jinyiwei: "Gongdu, according to the report from Jinyiwei Liu Xiang, monk Zhao Caixing of Wanning Temple and others are plotting a rebellion. After that, the general will send out capable school captains to conduct a secret investigation, and the matter has become clear.

Most of the monks in the temples in the capital were dissatisfied with the Holy Emperor and privately threatened to change the dynasty and support the restoration of Emperor Gongrang.

The internal envoy Xiao Bao was originally a young eunuch under the name of the traitor Xing'an. Because he was working in the Nanjing Weaving Bureau, he luckily escaped the purge and had just returned to Beijing recently.

This Xiao Bao was instructed by the nobles in the palace to instigate the monks and demons, and practiced the method of suppressing witchcraft and poison. He carved the names and horoscopes of the Holy Emperor and the Crown Prince on the paulownia wood dolls, and buried them under the willow tree in the backyard of Wanning Temple. He cursed them all the time. . "

Shu Liang was dumbfounded, and after a while he confirmed: "You mean, this is the same witchcraft disaster as in the last years of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty?"

Lu Gao replied: "The results of the final investigation are indeed true."

Shu Liang asked: "Who is the person who instigated Xiao Bao behind the scenes?"

Lu Gao pointed to the sky: "Then we need to send Xiao Bao to prison. Only after interrogation can the truth be revealed."

Shu Liang looked at Liu Jing and Lu Zhong, both of whom nodded firmly.

Seeing that things were getting serious, Shu Liang dismissed everyone and secretly rushed to Prince Qi's Mansion.

After Zhu Qiyu drank the wine, he was taking a sweet nap when Shu Liang came eagerly.

Pulled out of bed, Zhu Qiyu came to Qingyun Pavilion reluctantly.Shuliang poured beans out of a bamboo tube, and explained the cause and effect in detail.Zhu Qiyu was stunned for a while, and then asked: "Since it is those monks who want to cause chaos and support the restoration of Emperor Gong, then why did Zhao Caixing, a monk from Wanning Temple, proclaim himself emperor and play house?"

Shu Liang replied: "Because Xiao Bao believes that the emperor's doll is buried underground in the backyard of Wanning Temple, and the ordinary curse of chanting sutras is too slow to take effect. Someone needs to suppress the emperor's anger first, and then the monks chant sutras and curse. , to achieve immediate results.

The method that Xiao Bao thought of to suppress the emperor's aura was to let the monk Zhao Caixing, who happened to be a descendant of Song Taizu, proclaim himself emperor and gather dozens of scoundrels to worship him, so as to gather the emperor's aura and fight against the emperor's aura on the puppet.It is then supplemented by the Fan Monk Demonic Technique, which acts on the witchcraft puppets and achieves a miraculous effect of getting twice the result with half the effort. "

Zhu Qiyu stood up, walked to the window, and looked at Kunming Lake in the distance. After a while, he praised: "These people really know how to play."

Shu Liang asked for instructions: "Sir, what should we do next?"

"What else can I do? Just destroy the Buddha. I can't wait to do it."

Shu Liang opened his mouth wide and was speechless for a long time.

Zhu Qiyu asked again: "What did Xiao Bao say?"

"I would like to report to the Emperor that the internal officer Ruan Boshan was familiar with Xiao Bao and accidentally overheard his plan, and then reported it secretly to the slave.

As for the person in charge, Ruan Boxhan vaguely heard Xiao Bao mentioning respectfully to the emperor many times.

What will happen in the end can only be determined after reviewing Xiao Bao. "

Zhu Qiyu ordered Shu Liang to wait on the second floor, while he sat by the window on the third floor, looking at the lake and mountains, for half an hour.Then he summoned Shu Liang to his side and gave him secret instructions.

After sending Shu Liang away, Zhu Qiyu returned to Qingliang Hall.The girls immediately came forward and surrounded him: "What's wrong, husband? Shu Liang feels like his butt is on fire. He insists on dragging you out of bed. Is there something serious?"

Zhu Qiyu sighed: "Hey, the elbows and armpits are transformed, the disaster is caused by the Xiaoqiang, the nightmare suppresses the magic method, and the disaster caused by witchcraft."

After hearing Zhu Qiyu's detailed explanation, the faces of several little women changed, and murderous intent emerged one by one.

Nightmare Town, witchcraft, and even the two-year-old Prince Qi were not spared. This had already touched the bottom line of the beloved concubines.

Zhu Qiyu himself scratched his head: "You don't need to panic, I will give them a plan. Just now that I have an excuse, I can carry out the plan to destroy the Buddha."

As for the Buddhist monks in the capital and Shanxi, there is no chance of running away this time. "

Lin Xiangyu asked: "What will Emperor Gongrang do?"

Zhu Qiyu replied: "Let's learn from Zheng Burke and Duan Yuyan. This time the Chonghua Palace is closed and the emperor Gongrang will be placed under complete house arrest.

The next time he finds trouble, he will be deposed as a prince and moved to Nanjing to watch over Taizu.

Next time, it will be a brocade quilt.Of course, it was said to the outside world that he had inherited Renmiao's brain disease and died suddenly and young.

In this way, there are no hidden dangers in legal terms, and your son can happily become the emperor.

We don't learn from Taizong, but Jianwen's shadow hangs over our heads like a ghost all day long, lingering endlessly.

After the death of Emperor Gongrang, two years later, Concubine Xuanmiao died of depression, which meant that everything was over.

As long as these things are completed before the prince turns 12 years old.

A prince must be at least 15 years old before he can exercise the power of prince, and ministers will move closer to him in batches.

Even if Zhu Jianshen is talented and intelligent, it would be better if he is 12 years old and can start gathering forces to set up countermeasures.

When he was about thirteen or fourteen years old, he asked to abdicate.

When the time comes, I won’t work for another ten years or so. I’ll let Brother Fang take over as this terrible bad emperor. "
