Chapter 372: White Lotus Sect
The beautiful sunlight shone through the window fence, adding a touch of warmth to the cold cell, and Madu sat on the bed and put his hair in a bun, and it was really troublesome to keep such long hair to deal with.
"Brother Du'er eats a chicken leg!" Chang Mao sat on the handle and reached into the fence, and the shiny chicken leg in his hand looked very attractive.
"Get out! I'm afraid that the chicken leg is poisonous and will be killed by you! ”
Chang Mao smiled and said: "You are my eldest brother, we are a family, how could I poison you!" ”
"You also said no, you are the most active in burning Yongjiahou Mansion, and you have to take revenge on you, Lao Tzu is dying of laughter at home."
"What's there, how can there be, my father is in a hurry, so he asked Wei Guogong to go to the palace to intercede with you in the first room, and the parents of the students in the academy also went."
Ma Du patted the bed and said angrily: "Where is it to intercede for me, to intercede for their sons and nephews, besides, I just burned Zhu Liangzu's courtyard, it's a big deal to pay him a little money, and burning his mansion is none of my business." The emperor is wise and wise, shrewd and capable, with a deep view of fire and a careful heart, he is a rare saint of heaven, and he will give me justice. ”
Chang Mao said strangely: "Why do you pat the emperor's ass in vain, don't you always say that the emperor is slamming the door?" ”
A voice came out of the cell door, "Because he knows I'm coming!" Lao Zhu swaggered into the cell with his hands behind his back.
Ma Du and Chang Mao hurriedly knelt on the ground, and Lao Zhu said to Chang Mao with a black face: "The leather monkeys of other families are all punished at home, just you wander around the world alone, hurry home and find Chang Boren to receive fifty military sticks!" ”
"Weichen Xie Wu Huang Longen!" In front of Lao Zhu, Chang Mao is obviously not so poor, he has to be grateful for the military stick, or Longen, the feudal dynasty really has no human rights.
Seeing Chang Mao slipping away along the wall, Ma Du showed a hint of schadenfreude, Lao Zhu's eyes were very sharp, he caught it, he took his finger to look at the wooden fence, "Why do you also want to have the taste of military sticks?" ”
"Nope! No! Ma Du waved his hand again and again, "Wechen has already eaten a military stick on the grassland, and he doesn't want to suffer anymore." ”
It's rare that Lao Zhu didn't get angry, he found a stool and sat down, stretched out his hand to open the food box that Chang Mao took, "Since you don't want to eat military sticks, you can stay in prison for a few more days, anyway, someone will bring you food, the dishes are not bad, better than my food." As he spoke, he tore a chicken leg and ate it slowly in his hand.
Ma Du said with a bitter face: "Weichen doesn't want to live here, it's boring!" ”
"You burned Zhu Liangzu's Zhuangzi, killed Zhu Liangzu's son and burned his mansion, and the second child who was almost killed was plotted, how can you tell me to spare you, how can I explain to the ministers."
Ma Du sneered in his heart, with your old Zhu's own way, you still need to explain to the courtiers, it would be good if you didn't kill them.
"The emperor really wronged Weichen, except for burning Zhu Liangzu's Zhuangzi, other things really can't be counted on Weichen's head. There were other people who killed Zhu Xian and those who plotted against the King of Qin. As for the burning of Zhu Liangzu's mansion, you can ask the students of the academy. ”
Lao Zhu smiled and said: "Well, their parents have come to tell me the truth, but when you left the palace, you told outsiders that you took their children badly, and you are determined to do this black pot!" ”
I rub! If it weren't for Lao Zhu in front of him, Ma Du really wanted to jump and scold his mother, since he ruined his reputation outside, don't blame me for going back to the academy to clean up your bear children.
Lao Zhu bit the chicken leg bone, pouted and sucked the bone marrow inside, and then threw the bone away, "Who killed Zhu Xian and plotted against the second child?" ”
Ma Du hurriedly took out the short arrow and the small wooden card under the bed and handed them to Lao Zhu, "This arrow is the one that plotted against the King of Qin, and it is the same as killing Zhu Xian, but it is not quenched, and it is estimated that the person did not expect to meet the King of Qin, so he shot the arrow in a hurry." ”
Lao Zhu took the short arrow and gave it to Yuan Sheng behind him after only one glance, and then took the wooden card and looked at it, it was an ordinary mahogany card, no more than two inches long, more than an inch wide, and there was a hollow blooming lotus pattern on it.
This is the mark of the famous White Lotus Sect in Chinese history, that is, the White Lotus Sect that once swept half of the Mengyuan Dynasty.
In fact, the White Lotus Sect also taught people to be good from the beginning, its teachings were simple and popular, and it quickly developed and grew, but it also bred ambitions, and after several rebellions, these two labels were difficult to take off. Only a few times it has been recognized by the imperial court, and most of the time it has been banned and suppressed by those in power.
But the White Lotus Sect knows how to adapt immediately, and when it is recognized by the imperial court, it will develop and grow rapidly, and when it is forbidden, it will change its name and go underground. By the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the White Lotus Sect was no longer a simple branch of Buddhism, but an organization that integrated the teachings of Maitreya, Manichaeism, Taoism and the White Lotus Sect, and the internal branches were also very complex.
Influenced by later film and television dramas, Ma Du was very curious about this and asked Mu Ying, but Mu Ying didn't seem to know about it, she only knew the proverb that King Ming was born, and this proverb was widely circulated, and even two goods like Zhang Wuliu knew it.
Lao Zhu was once called the King of Wu, and it stands to reason that he should establish "Da Wu" with his own Jueyi as the country name, but he took "Da Ming" as the country name, and the biggest reason may be to pick up this ready-made cheap, aren't they all waiting for the birth of King Ming, I Lao Zhu is this King of Ming.
The reason why Ma Du recognized the mark at a glance was that when he asked Ma Dajia for advice, Ma Dajia had shown him similar waist cards, and they were two, but the material was different, one was jade and one was copper, Lao Zhu and Guo Zixing's.
They have all been rewarded by the Han and Song Dynasty courts, and it is not surprising that there is such a thing, Ma Du thinks that it should be an accessory like a fish bag, maybe King Xiao Ming really gave Lao Zhu a title such as the Protector Dharma King. Ma Dajia only told him that it was taboo, and he should not ask others in the future, let alone mention it in front of Lao Zhu.
Of course, this is a taboo for Lao Zhu, everyone worked hard to fight the world together, and in the end, you Zhu Chongba picked peaches, and killed the old leader, which is a big stain on him.
Lao Zhu naturally didn't eat dry rice, so he immediately splashed the dirty water back and helped himself wash himself by the way, so there was the phrase "Disaster is the first chaos, and the blessing is in the palace".
The first chaos at the end of the Yuan Dynasty was actually Fang Guozhen, but unfortunately he didn't make much noise. Of course, this "first chaos" alludes to Han Lin'er and Liu Futong, the White Lotus cultists, who are the group of people who plague the Central Plains and make the common people suffer; Dianxing naturally refers to himself, and it is very clear that Lao Zhu is the one who will release the Mandate of Heaven for the benefit of the world.
Lao Zhu picked peaches, hurt the leader and poured dirty water, how could the "old comrades-in-arms" not hate him, it was strange that Zhu Xiaoer didn't let go of the arrow!
