There is a secluded, somewhat isolated house in the palace city, there are no glazed tiles, no vermilion red doors, and no golden Beijing brick paving, the overall style is more like a private house, which looks out of place in this magnificent palace.

It seems to be a cold palace, but the emperor himself only has a few daughters-in-law, where is there a so-called cold palace, this is the residence of the Empress Dowager Lu.

A meditation hall.

Empress Dowager Lu is a traditional Chinese woman, and the characteristics of Chinese women are particularly prominent after Emperor Xingzong Zhu Biaoxutian, Zhu Yunwen became the grandson, she prayed day and night, hoping that her son would have fewer disasters and fewer difficulties, and succeed to the throne smoothly.

And when Zhu Yunwen really became the emperor, she would never look for the so-called sense of existence in the Ming political arena, the whole person seemed to not exist, and she teased Sun every day and copied Buddhist scriptures, which was the whole life of the Lu family.

Until, she never had the chance to see her grandson and son again.

This kind of almost cold-blooded and impersonal life in old age is extremely miserable for a traditional Chinese woman and mother, which indirectly leads to the precipitous aging of Lu's body.

Even in Pingsuri, every three or five days, Zhu Yunwen would always come here to see the Lu family to ask for peace, and sometimes he would accompany him for a meal, but he rarely spoke, and it was difficult for the mother and son to find a common topic.

Nature is the bane of disputes.

And today, Zhu Yunwen came here with a clear goal.

"Erchen is going to demolish Xiayun Temple."

There was no euphemism in the straightforward briefing, and there was not much of a turning attitude.

"Erchen hopes that if the queen mother goes to drop incense, she can tell the host there, let them cooperate with the arrangements of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, don't try to engage in confrontation, the court will not give in, no one is qualified to make the court make concessions, and the final result of the confrontation must be that the temple is razed to the ground."

Lu's hands trembled slightly, she didn't close her eyes and meditate, showing anger for the first time in her life. Tough on her son and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

"Impossible, as long as I'm alive for one day, you can't demolish Xiayun Temple."

Taking a breath, Lu's tone weakened again, and even pleaded a little.

"I don't have a few years to live, can't you wait until I'm dead to do this, they just chant a scripture, they don't hurt the heavens or the world, and they even adopted and raised so many abandoned children, it's a place to do good deeds, why do you have to leave no room for it."

"There are more than 176,000 monks in the whole country, only those who have written papers!"

Zhu Yunwen reported an astronomical figure: "Buddhism's good deeds have never been denied, but this good deed is for the individual and evil for the country." If you let it go and become more and more monks, is it a good thing for the country? Is it a good thing for the world?

You always say that the Buddha does not fight or take it, and the six roots are pure, but is this true for everyone who worships the Buddha?

If the monks of Buddhism are like this, where is there still my Ming Dynasty, my grandfather is a monk, and he can fight the world if he puts down the Buddhist scriptures.

It can be seen that as long as the power in his hand is enough, ambition can swallow the Buddha.

Longxing Temple, you know, this temple alone has more than 1,000 monks, tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, from nothing to expand to this number, it only took more than 20 years, and it is still growing, and in a few decades, scabies will become a tumor.

So many temples in the world are changing, only Longxing Temple and Xiayun Temple are not moving, when the time comes, the world will criticize, and the face of the court will be lost. ”

Lu Shi can't say that Zhu Yunwen can't talk about it, and she never expected to talk about her son from the level of big truth, but she has her own insistence.

"Now that you've made up your mind, you're still here to ask me what I'm doing, go, you do it!"

Looking at Lu's swaying body, Zhu Yunwen's heart subconsciously tightened, and he hurriedly stepped forward to help, but was pushed away.

"Back then, you strictly ordered Wen Kui not to allow him to approach me, for so many years, every child of yours, except for Tingting, I have never had the opportunity to see any grandson, you have been ruthless for so many years, do you still care about the life and death of an old woman.

I was blind, I told your father and grandfather all the good things about you back then, and let you inherit the orthodox position, you should be a concubine, you should be a concubine in this life! ”

"The Queen Mother is right."

Zhu Yunwen didn't even have any anger at all, but said with great approval: "If Concubine Chang hadn't died of guilt back then, of course, what I said to the outside world, what history wrote was that she died of illness, would a woman who was pampered and in her thirties die of illness?"

Isn't it because she is Chang Yuchun's daughter, she was affected by his eldest brother, and she was convicted of treason, she is a woman, and she is defenseless to rebel.

She died, you straightened it out, my son, I got your light, became a sister-in-law, and became a grandson, at that time, why didn't you say that Chang's death was wronged, and grandpa was ruthless.

You should abdicate and let go of the virtuous, your father is not only a side concubine for you, you are humble, and you don't show the virtuous of a good daughter-in-law in front of your grandfather, I have been a concubine all my life, isn't this it.

Emperor, heh, do you really think I'm rare to be this emperor, fart!

Lao Tzu has a family and a courtyard, and has children and daughters, it's really fucking rare to be this bullshit emperor! ”

Is this nonsense, the emperor?

Shuangxi thought that Zhu Yunwen was confused, and hurriedly stepped forward to stroke his back: "The Queen Mother is angry, Your Majesty has also been working on state affairs recently, this is uneasy, the affairs of the country and the dynasty are innumerable, and Your Majesty is really not easy." ”

"Yes, he is the emperor, and he has the final say in this world."

Lu Shi sneered a few times, she knew, she had known a few years ago, this strange Zhu Yunwen had never been her son.

It's too deep, and when he didn't sit on the seat of Fengtian Temple, he didn't show the world his true face at all.

"I can't deserve his home, isn't he going to demolish Xiayun Temple, is he going to kill someone, let him go."

Throwing these words down, Lu Shi turned around and left, walking simply and decisively.

Her body knows best, as long as she is alive before the demolition of Xiayun Temple, this matter will become a stain on Zhu Yunwen for the rest of her life.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Shuangxi felt that Zhu Yunwen's body was trembling, and he was so frightened that he called several times.

"I'm fine."

Taking a deep breath, Zhu Yunwen lifted the hem of his robe, knelt down in the direction where Lu Shi left, slammed it three times, got up, and blood oozed from his cracked forehead.

"The edict Longxing Temple and Xiayun Temple, within seven days, must dismiss all monks, destroy all documents, and do not retain more than 20 people, one more, destroy the Buddha and burn the temple, and preside over the beheading."

The pace of national progress will never stop for anyone, and the wheel of history will not stop rolling because of a stone.

"The Son of Heaven is not a country, the country is the Son of Heaven, and the will of the Son of Heaven has never been the will of the state, only the will of the country is the will of the Son of Heaven."

It is for the interests of the country, and the will of the country wants to demolish these two temples, so in the face of the will of the country, Zhu Yunwen cannot be a filial son, and his behavior must be governed by the will of the state.

Of course, he can of course be the Son of Heaven that is the country, and the order is changed every day.

The First Five-Year Plan can also be overturned, throwing the country's credibility into the dust.

Zhu Yunwen didn't have a choice, or rather, he had already made a choice before he came to the Queen Mother.

The emperor decided to uproot Longxing Temple and Xiayun Temple with an indisputable tough attitude, and the work of the cabinet was much simpler.

The inventory team of the local military guard station directly broke into the two temples with knives and began to measure the acres of land and wealth.

In the six pure temples, not to mention the incense money and merit silver, the wealth accumulated over the years alone is tens of thousands of taels, which may not be anything to the current Ming Dynasty, but it is the money accumulated by escaping the country's taxes.

A thousand miles of embankment was destroyed in an anthill.

Anything that may shake the country's roots, no matter how small, is in nature tantamount to endangering national security!

The country has no taxes, and the finances collapse.

Then the country perished, and under the chaos, the tax evaders also died, because there were no eggs under the nest.

It is normal for tax evaders to see their own interests, but the tax-collectors do not pay attention to them, and that is called danger.

The presiding officers of Longxing Temple and Xiayun Temple were still relatively tough at first, they refused to accept such a rough treatment, and the former even took out the Danshu iron coupon left by Taizu when he returned to Fengyang Ancestral Land to worship to prove his sacred and inviolable status, but the command of the leading troops made the kowtow and kowtow, and he got up and drew his sword.

"A group of bald people, they still dare to pull the banner of Taizu and be domineering, and the crime of disobedience will be added to the first degree, kill!"

The Danshu iron coupon was invited into Nanjing and enshrined under the portrait of the ancestor of the Fengxian Palace, which is not the first Danshu iron coupon that the imperial court has recovered in recent years.

From the beginning of Zongxun's great fortune to the corruption case of the local tax department reported by the Quanzhou Shipping Division, over the years, how many Danshu iron coupons with the function of "gold medal for avoiding death" have been withdrawn.

"Before the law of the country, there could be no Danshu iron coupons, and there will never be one in the future."

Seeing the resolute attitude of the imperial court, the two major monasteries did not have the courage to 'I don't go to hell, who will go to hell', and honestly accepted the order, dismissed the monks, returned the land, and no longer dared to talk about their so-called political background.

But the decline of Xiayun Temple, or Zhu Yunwen's attitude, still stimulated the Lu family, who was depressed in his heart, which directly led to a serious illness and depression on the couch.

At this moment, the imperial doctors in the palace were completely panicked.

The little eunuch in charge of the living notes of the Imperial Front Division deleted the paragraph where Zhu Yunwen looked for the Lu family a few days ago, and Xie Jin also entered the palace overnight to ask for a meeting and talked about this paragraph.

"How do you write history books?"

Living notes can be changed, eunuchs are not historians, they have a fart principle, but what about historians.

As the editor-in-chief of literary works, Xie Jin is now a master of the six gods.

History books are narrative techniques, and they cannot have a subjective attitude, and they are not like the cabinet making a report, analyzing the pros and cons, and writing according to the truth.

If it's more serious, it's a life.

"Write as it is."

Zhu Yunwen copied out the original living note, threw it on the ground, and had a cold face: "I'm not afraid of being scolded by future generations, I can't hear how I love to scold anyway, besides, there are still fewer people scolding me behind my back over the years."

Wu Xun scolded first, Wu Xun scolded his relatives, and then the landlords, officials, and even the merchants were also scolding.

In this world, except for the common people and soldiers, there is no one who does not scold me behind my back, I have a hard backbone and a thick face, so I am not afraid of them poking. ”

Xie Jin picked up the living note, and his hands trembled.

The emperor is crazy, and he dares to say anything.

"Taizu respected Queen Gao back then, saying that he wanted to build the country with filial piety, so he treated and supported the officials of Ding Wei, believing that people could not stand without filial piety, and all good and filial piety came first.

It seems that as long as a person is filial, everything he does is right, on the contrary, if he is not filial, everything he does is wrong.

I am not filial, then what I will do in the future will be wrong, since this is the case, then I will simply go all the way to the dark, and I will be wrong. ”

The big deal is to scold a faint king for the ages, and the big deal is to be scolded into ashes, Zhu Yunwen is angry, and the big deal is to 'faint' to the end.

"You immediately go to the Hanlin Academy to write an article signed by me, and submit it to the General Administration Department for polishing and send it to the Qiushi newspaper, to the effect that in the future, the time of Ding Wei will be changed from 100 days to 30 days, and if you want to be a filial son, you can resign, and go home to be a filial son, and if your parents are sick in the high hall, you can ask for leave to take care of them, but if you don't return to work for more than 30 days, the imperial court will no longer retain your position, and if you want to be an official, take the exam again!"

Xie Jin was completely panicked, the emperor was going to break the jar.

In the past, a policy of all-in-one food payment had long made the traditionalist officials hate it to the core, and now it is doing this way, which will not be scolded for a hundred years.

He was only a few decades old, but he was famous for a hundred years after his death.

"Your Majesty thinks twice."

Xie Jin persuaded with a bitter face: "Your Majesty's merits, covering the ages, have been a generation of Ming Monarch Holy Lord, why bother adding unfilial piety to yourself at this time, Taizu ancestral system, can't touch it." ”

"Don't you keep saying that loyalty and filial piety can't be both!"

Zhu Yunwen said in a cold voice: "Either be loyal to the country or be filial to the high hall, I have already made a choice, and next, it's time for you to choose." ”

After that, he turned around and left, leaving Xie Jin alone with a wry smile.

Now that this matter has been settled, the cabinet is not very worried, what is most afraid is that the queen mother is really accidentally calamity, and the emperor may really go all the way to the dark.

The reputation stinks anyway, so people won't care about stinking a little more.

And an emperor who lets himself go, how many moths will he make in the future?

However, because of such an incident, the cabinet saw the emperor's determination.

The First Five-Year Plan must be completed, and nothing or anyone can stand in the way of the country.

This frightened the Cabinet and the provincial envoys, because they received a letter from the Cabinet that was unprecedented in terms of tone and wording.

"As of November 30, the 10th year of Jianwen, the task indicators assigned by the cabinet to the provinces must be completed, and I hope that the provincial political envoys will have a high sense of political responsibility, and at the same time, the cabinet does not want to see any reports on difficulties and resistance, and I hope you will encourage yourself."

It's a knife on the neck!
