Chapter 20: The Heart Is Like a Mirror
After entering the side hall of Taihe Palace, Zhu Jianshen turned around suddenly: "You tell me the truth, there is really an earthquake in Mount Tai?" ”
This question cannot be ignored, what is Tarzan? It was the place where the virtuous emperor enshrined Zen, and it was the place where the emperor prayed to heaven for his benevolence.
Ordinary emperors don't dare to say that they want to go to Mount Tai to seal Zen, because they don't have this qualification, and people who think they are qualified but actually have no qualifications, want to go to Mount Tai to seal Zen, and they will also be stopped by the ministers of the court.
Tarzan had an accident, which is a great event.
Liang Liyong knelt down with a plop: "Your Majesty, the minister does not dare to deceive Your Majesty, as soon as this news arrives at the Qin Heavenly Prison, the minister immediately watches the stars at night, and does not dare to slack off in the slightest." When he went to court today, the minister was already waiting outside the palace gate, just to report the situation to His Majesty. ”
Zhu Jianshen was a little flustered: "What is God's will?" ”
Liang Liyong: "I'm afraid it has something to do with the prince of the East Palace, last night I watched the stars and found that there were two Taiwei stars, one of which was small and dim, and the other big one was radiant." ”
Is it really such a coincidence? I just wanted to abolish the crown prince, and soon there will be a warning from heaven? Zhu Jianshen felt extremely suspicious, and in the dark, he always felt that there was a force behind him.
"Go down first! Let Li Zi come over. The former sentence is said to Liang Liyong, but the latter sentence is said to Liang Fang.
After a while, Li Zixing, who was sweating profusely, appeared in front of Zhu Jianshen, and he thought that something was wrong with the emperor who had eaten the elixir he refined, and he was panicked.
After seeing the emperor sitting on the chair casually, the heart that had been hanging all the way was officially put down.
After he finished asking for peace, he asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, what is the matter with the ministers?" ”
Zhu Jianshen said calmly: "Don't you know the Five Thunder Method, communicate with God, ask God's will, this prince, whether it is abolished or not." ”
Li Zixing hesitated for a moment and said, "The minister has to prepare the magic weapon." ”
Zhu Jianshen nodded and agreed.
The so-called magic weapons are nothing more than some props that can make some noises, and the Five Thunder Methods can't really trigger the Nine Heavens Xuan Thunder from the sky, and it's completely something that the emperor came up with.
It took an hour to prepare Li Zixing, who opened the altar and kept circling around the altar, his body trembling slightly, and there were words in his mouth.
If you listen carefully, you can hear what Li Zixing said: "God bless, don't be exposed, God bless, don't be exposed." ”
After chattering for a while, Li Zixing's body suddenly shook, and dozens of lightning bolts intertwined into a power grid suddenly appeared in the air. But the lightning was not blue, it was red.
The huge sound shook the Taihe Hall for a while, and it took a long time before the shaking disappeared without a trace.
Li Zixing had already changed his face, only the whites of his eyes remained, and his face was also iron-blue, as if there was a murderous aura in him.
"Who called me?" Li Zisheng opened his mouth, and his voice was like a bell, and Zhu Jianshen felt that Li Zisheng's voice was everywhere in his ears.
Liang Fang hurriedly said: "God forgive me, Your Majesty wants to ask if the crown prince should be replaced." ”
If Zhu Jianshen came to speak, he would definitely not be so rude, but Liang Fang knew the depth of Li Zixing, so naturally he would not be so polite at all.
The so-called thunder and lightning are nothing more than fireworks. As for the reason why the main hall shook, it was because Li Zixing's henchmen buried gunpowder not far from the Taihe Palace.
And the reason why Li Zixing's voice is so loud is not because of the arrival of a god. In fact, Li Zixing didn't speak at all, he just moved his mouth. The sound that resounded through the hall was simply made by Li Zixing's apprentice with a simple horn.
"Gongchang, Guyuan, Lan, He, Tao, and Min all had earthquakes. Zunhua County was shocked and collapsed. Lianzhou and Wuzhou were shocked for 16 days. It is all caused by the wrath of heaven, the prince is benevolent, but His Majesty wants to abolish the prince, although heaven and earth are not benevolent, but they can't bear to see all the people trapped in fire and water. Li Zi Province continued to babble.
When Zhu Jianshen heard this, he said to Liang Fang beside him: "You go down first, I have something to tell the gods." ”
Liang Fang had no choice but to leave, he didn't know what the emperor was going to say to the god Li Zixing pretending to be, but he had an ominous premonition, that is, the emperor didn't seem to believe in himself very much.
After Liang Fang left, Zhu Jianshen shook his head and smiled bitterly at the god of heaven pretending to be Li Zixing: "What the god said, I don't know, I feel that my body is getting worse day by day over the years, the prince is young, and the courtiers are incompetent. If one day I can't do it, I'm afraid that the Ming dynasty will be in the limelight.
I have been a faint king all my life, but I don't want my son to become the king of the country!
Youzhu was tormented by suffering when he was young, Zhen'er couldn't tolerate him, and I deliberately didn't protect him, just to let him grow up as soon as possible.
There is also a Zhang Ru by his side, at least he can help him a little.
But this kid has a good temperament, but he is not the most suitable person, and today he proposed to abolish the prince in the court, just to see the opinions of the courtiers, and in the future, he will leave some available people for Youjiao. ”
Li Zixing broke out in a cold sweat all over his body, he knew that the emperor would say such heartfelt things to the god he pretended to be, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense to the emperor if he was killed!
However, the matter has come to this point, and he has no other choice but to hold on.
However, his body was trembling, but he was seen by Zhu Jianshen: "Can the gods hear what I am saying?" ”
"Your Majesty is hardworking, the prince will know sooner or later." When he said this, the voice of the apprentice in Li Zi Province trembled a little.
This was not only heard by Li Zixing, but also by his apprentices.
Suddenly, Li Zixing's body weakened and he collapsed to the ground, as if he had collapsed.
Zhu Jianshen looked down and saw that Li Zi Province had fainted, and he hurriedly called outside: "Liang Fang, send someone to send Master Li back." ”
Zhu Jianshen, who said what was in his heart, was a lot more relaxed, he was the emperor, and he could do whatever he wanted, so many people thought that it would be easy to be an emperor.
But the suffering of being an emperor is known only to him.
The folds that the cabinet could not approve would eventually be sent to him, the king of a country, on his desk, and he had spent countless hours cultivating immortals every day, and he had no time or energy to deal with those folds.
But he is the emperor, he can't steal this laziness.
His body knows that although he takes the elixir every day, his body is not as good as day by day, and his energy is not as good as day by day, and he knows that he is no longer as good as before.
The only thing that makes him happy is that the prince is still competitive, not only has he not been worried about it for so many years, but sometimes he can help him deal with a lot of things.
The reason why the smoke bomb to abolish the prince was to block Wan Zhen'er's mouth, and to see how many loyal people there were in the huge court.
To tell the truth, today's court discussion made the most lazy emperor in the history of the Ming Dynasty feel extremely disappointed, only one cabinet scholar Liu Jue spoke for the prince, and only one of the six Shangshu Zhang Peng, who was not afraid of death, spoke for the prince.
Disappointed, he was also a little lucky, glad that there were people like Li Dongyang and Liu Jian who stayed with the prince.
The earthquake in Tarzan just gave him the best excuse.
Now God has issued a warning, whoever dares to say that he wants to abolish the crown prince is against God, and it is not for him, the emperor, to dominate.
He didn't know that all of this was done by Zhang Ru behind his back.
Whether it was Liang Liyong, the Qintianjian Prison, or Li Zi Province, or even what his apprentices said when Li Zi Province pretended to be a god, it was all taught by Zhang Confucianism. Now, there has been no earthquake in Tai'an, and it is only because Zhang Ru is half threatening and half-tempting to keep Zhu Youzhang's position as the crown prince, so that these people are on his side.
Fortunately, Zhu Jianshen didn't know about this, if he knew, he was afraid that he would be angry to death.
It wasn't until noon that the emperor left the side hall of the Taihe Palace, and the kid who hid in the dark and didn't dare to come out had a chance to escape the scene.
However, as soon as he escaped from the wolf's den, he entered another tiger's den.
This tiger's den is the brocade-clothed Weidong Sifang Xiaoqi who threatened his master to pretend to be a god, the little king of Yama who was only nineteen years old but grew up with the prince - Zhang Ru!
Li Zixing went home with his front foot, and Zhang Ru arrived at his house with his back foot, and Li Zixing, who pretended to be unconscious, had no choice but to get up to receive him.
As soon as Zhang Ru entered the door, he didn't even drink tea, so he asked straight to the point: "What did Your Majesty say?" ”
Li Zi Province wanted to hide it, so he sneered: "Your Majesty just asked if the Tai'an earthquake was a warning from God, and didn't say anything else. ”
Zhang Ruqi looked at Li Zixing with his eyes, and said without yin or yang: "Is this true? ”
Li Zixing secretly wiped the sweat from his palms: "Don't dare to hide it." ”
Zhang Ru nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, I'm sure you won't have anything to hide." However, if I ask something from other people, Master Li should not blame Zhang for being ruthless. ”
"You..." Li Zixing was a little angry, but his anger didn't come out, and he couldn't help but see Zhang Ru playing with his favorite little grandson's personal jade pendant in his hand, and his anger completely turned into a decadence.
In desperation, he honestly said what he heard from the emperor's mouth, and told Zhang Ru that in addition to him, there was another apprentice who also knew about it.
Zhang Ru didn't say anything anymore, just sat at Li Zixing's house and waited for the insider to come back, and waited until three o'clock in the afternoon, the best murder incident, that Li Zixing's apprentice was twisted in front of Zhang Ru by two masters of the East Division.
This kid is also a smart person, knowing that he heard something he shouldn't have heard, he packed up his soft and prepared to leave, but he happened to be caught by the master of the East Division.
"Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives, but the villain didn't hear anything!" The boy, who looked to be in his early twenties, pleaded and pleaded.
Zhang Ru glanced at it and said coldly: "His money, you have divided it, I don't want to see him again." ”
This order made Li Zixing feel cold to the bone, he didn't expect a boy who was only nineteen years old to be so ruthless. He didn't dare to beg for mercy, and watched as the Jinyi guard knocked his beloved disciple unconscious and took him out of the mansion.
