After the reorganization of the entire Beijing Division's army, only 100,000 troops were retained, which was Zhu Youxiao's third new army, the Imperial Forest Army. After the Imperial Forest Army became an army, Zhu Youxiao has been thinking about a suitable candidate for the position of Admiral of the Imperial Forest Army.

Xiong Tingbi is now the governor of the Jingshi Governor's Mansion, the commander of the Longteng Army is now Man Gui, and the commander of the Royal Forest Army is still uncertain, and Xiong Tingbi is still concurrently serving for the time being.

Zhu Youxiao is now thinking about whether to let Lu Xiangsheng become the commander of the Imperial Forest Army? The problem now is that Lu Xiangsheng is too young, although he became a jinshi in the second year of the Apocalypse, he is only twenty-six years old, and Zhu Youxiao is worried that he will not be able to convince the public.

"I'm going to promote Lu Xiangsheng to be the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, what do you think?" Zhu Youxiao asked Xiong Tingbi.

"Lu Xiangsheng? The minister didn't know much about this man. Xiong Tingbi replied honestly.

"Lu Xiangsheng, the word Jiandou, a native of Yixing County, Changzhou Prefecture, Nanzhili, a jinshi in the second year of the Apocalypse, the current head of the household department, has force, is a rare general, the only thing I am worried about is that he is too young to convince the public." Zhu Youxiao said.

"Since Lu Xiangsheng is well versed in the way of generals, and it is appointed by His Majesty, the Royal Forest Army will definitely support it." Xiong Tingbi said.

"Spread the decree and promote Lu Xiangsheng to the position of Admiral of the Imperial Forest Army." Zhu Youxiao decided not to hesitate anymore, he believed that Lu Xiangsheng would definitely be competent. Lu Xiangsheng is not a pedantic person, and he did not resist switching from literature to martial arts.

……

The completion of the military reorganization of the Beijing Governor's Mansion made Zhu Youxiao have the confidence to carry out his next plan with confidence. Just when dealing with the matter of the Beijing army, Zhang Tianshi entered Beijing. Since Zhang Hui and Quan Yuan disappeared in Daming, Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Tianshi have never met again.

Regarding the whereabouts of Zhang Hui and Quan Yuan, Zhang Tianshi doesn't know, and he won't ask, he now has a feeling of precariousness, "The king does not lose his country, and the minister does not lose his body." Zhang Tianshi knows Zhu Youxiao's biggest secret and the biggest scandal, according to common sense, in this era, such a person cannot survive, but he survived, and Zhu Youxiao didn't seem to have any intention of moving him.

But Zhang Tianshi understood one thing, that is, before he received Zhu Youxiao's instructions, all he could do now was to retreat in Longhu Mountain every day. This time, it was Zhang Tianshi who received Zhang Yan's edict, and Zhang Yan asked him to personally help her do a Taoist ritual. In the Ming Dynasty, the royal family was still very much Taoist.

Zhang Yan has not been born since her first child was stillborn. Although Zhang Yan is only twenty-one years old now, she may still be studying in this grade in the future, but this era is different, most of the children of twenty-one-year-old girls can play soy sauce. "Nothing to come out" has always been Zhang Yan's heart disease, especially now that the harem concubines are pregnant one after another, Zhang Yan's pressure is getting bigger and bigger. "Nothing to come out" is one of the seven, just because of this folk can divorce a wife, the queen can be abolished in the royal family, and it will not attract opposition from the court and even the people.

"Baozhu, in fact, you are still young, so you don't need to be in such a hurry." Zhu Youxiao comforted. Until now, Zhu Youxiao knew that Zhang Yan was under pressure because of childlessness.

"The concubine is twenty years old this year, and the concubine is the queen and the emperor's wife, and it is really worthy of the ancestors of the heavenly family to have nothing to do." Zhang Yan said guiltily.

"I already have a son and a daughter, and Concubine Chun and Concubine Ding are also pregnant, and my Zhu Youxiao lineage can be regarded as a successor, you don't need so much pressure, no matter what, you will always be my queen." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.

"Your Majesty......" Zhang Yan was moved and didn't know what to say.

"After Zhang Tianshi finishes praying for you, you can find the imperial doctor to see if there is anything wrong with your body, it is better to ask the doctor about this matter than to ask God." Zhu Youxiao said.

"The concubine knows, and tomorrow the concubine will let the female medical officer enter the palace." Zhang Yan nodded and said.

……

After Zhang Tianshi prayed for Zhang Yan, Zhu Youxiao ordered him to go to the Qianqing Palace to see him.

"Master Zhang, what I promised you will definitely be fulfilled, and I will decree you to be named a national teacher now." Zhu Youxiao said.

"Your Majesty, the minister is afraid, and he really deserves it." Zhang Tianshi said respectfully.

"This is what you deserve, you will be rewarded for your merits, and you will be punished for your mistakes. But I also want to tell you that the position of national teacher is only a fictitious position, and has no real power, and he does not participate in the government affairs, let alone interfere in the government affairs, and it will not be hereditary, and the virtuous will live in it. Zhu Youxiao said coldly.

"Your Majesty's Order, Thank You Your Majesty!" Zhang Tianshi said.

"Taoism was born and raised, and it has been in China longer than Buddhism, but in the end it is not as good as Buddhism from abroad, have you thought carefully about the reasons for this?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"Please also make it clear to Your Majesty." Zhang Tianshi said respectfully.

"Taoism pays attention to crossing oneself, Buddhism pays attention to crossing people, there are many Buddhist disciples, Taoism is far inferior, and Taoism is too profound, not as popular as Buddhism. Of course, I may not be right, but I believe there is some truth to it. Zhu Youxiao thought about it and said.

"What Your Majesty said is very true." Zhang Tianshi said respectfully.

"I intend to make Taoism the number one sect in the empire......" Before Zhu Youxiao's words were finished, Zhang Tianshi couldn't help but tremble when he heard this.

Zhu Youxiao glanced at it, and then said: "I will invite the various schools of Taoism in the empire to the banquet in Beijing, let the Taoism form an alliance, and seven directors will be elected in the alliance to lead the entire alliance, and the leader of the alliance will be the national teacher, and the remaining six will be the heavenly masters. At the same time, the Daolu Division will be abolished. ”

"No." Zhang Tianshi said excitedly.

"I have two more requirements, and I must do them." Zhu Youxiao said.

"Your Majesty, please." Zhang Tianshi said.

"First, I asked the Taoist Union to write some easy-to-understand teachings that would be easy to disseminate. You can refer to other sects, you can look at those sects that are very popular, that is, you have to believe in me, you must believe in me, believe that I can go to heaven and have eternal life, if you don't believe me, you will go to hell, and you will not be able to live forever. Let's see what Taoism says. Zhu Youxiao said with hatred that iron is not made of steel.

"The minister understands, and the minister will start preparing for this matter immediately." Zhang Tianshi nodded and said.

"The second point is that I have abolished the degree, and the Taoist priests will inevitably increase, and I require that all Taoist land must be taxed according to the mu." Zhu Youxiao said.

"No, the Zhengyi Sect will pay taxes per mu from today onwards, and will never owe the court a cent of taxes." Zhang Tianshi said with an oath.
