Zhang Tianshi smiled and pondered what he wanted to say in his stomach.

He knew that Zhu Yuanzhang himself was quite sensitive, even if he praised it, if he said it to the wrong taste, he would inevitably kill his head.

It is said that a monk said that Zhu Yuanzhang was "born a saint and leads for the people", and according to Zhu Yuanzhang's Fengyang accent, he became "born a monk and a thief for the people".

A sycophant was also slapped on the horse's feet, and the end can be imagined.

Taoist priests pay attention to the same dust as the light, and are by no means as brainless as those monks.

So, he rolled his eyes and said respectfully.

"Sincerity or insincerity, whether there is a clear lord or not, this is something verified by God, and the results of the verification must have been seen by you, just like everyone has seen, ask for snow and get snow."

Hearing Zhang Tianshi say this, Zhu Yuanzhang was very proud.

This is also in line with his expectations, the Ming Dynasty was founded for more than 20 years, the country and the people, which are obvious to all, and now the snow is getting snow, which just reflects God's recognition of himself.

So, he nodded and said.

"The Heavenly Master has a point."

Seeing that Zhang Tianshi did not fall into this pit, Zhao Chenglong held on to the question just now.

"Since the hearts of the monarchs and ministers are quite pious, and Your Majesty is also a Ming monarch, why has this snow been postponed for so long, and you haven't answered the last two questions, are the ministers not virtuous, or are you not proficient in Taoism?"

Zhang Tianshi said.

"The three people of Xiaodao do things in strict accordance with the rules of Taoism, and there is no place for overstepping the courtesy, as for whether the courtiers are virtuous or not, Xiaodao is not an official in the imperial court, and has no right to judge."

His words made it clear that he wanted to jump out of the vicious circle of party strife in the imperial court, although it was for the purpose of self-preservation, but it also invisibly exposed Lu Ning.

is not only an official in the imperial court but also has a great relationship with Longhu Mountain, and Lu Ning is the only one.

Zhang Tianshi gave him several options, and now only the topic of whether a courtier is virtuous or not remains.

When the scholar was embarrassed by Zhang Tianshi, his close friends were staring at Lu Ning's reaction all the time.

These people were very clearly aware that Lu Ning's body trembled involuntarily.

Although according to the previous process, the topic has been brought to Lu Ning.

But these people in the upper position thought of Lu Ning several times Jedi reversal, so they all became cautious.

I saw a person coming from the end of the hundred officials, it was a little Hanlin in the compilation of the national history of the Hanlin Academy, and he was also the champion of the previous subject, named Li Deng.

Because his grade was not enough, he did not have an ivory wat board that symbolized his status, so he knelt on the ground and played towards Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has a message that I would like to ask His Royal Highness the Protector King, please grant your permission."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, but still agreed: "Quasi!" ”

Li Deng stood up, respectfully bowed to Lu Ning, and asked.

"His Royal Highness the Protector King, I would like to ask you for advice if I have something to do."

Lu Ning's robe hadn't been changed yet, and when he heard others call him an official, he was stunned for a moment, motioned for him to step back first, and then said to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Now the sons are still dressed in Taoist clothes, and it is inconvenient to discuss the affairs of the court without authorization, so please ask my father to allow the sons to change back into court clothes."

In fact, Lu Ning has always been the protector of the imperial court, but in the past six months, he has been ordered by the prince to go to Longhu Mountain to learn Taoism, and he has to change into Taoist clothes.

Now if you want to exchange it back, you must ask for the consent of the imperial court.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment and said.

"Emperor Zhu Tang went to Longhu Mountain to learn Taoism this time, and he was very pleased to learn something, and I was very pleased to allow him to change his Taoist costume and reinstate his official position."

Lu Ning followed the eunuch down to the palace, and after a while, he changed into the prince's python robe and court clothes, and went to the palace again to worship the emperor.

Li Deng hurriedly stepped forward to salute Lu Ning, and his momentum was invisibly shorter.

Lu Ning generously accepted his salute and asked condescendingly.

"This king is very busy now, Li Hanlin can ask if he has any questions."

Li Deng is a little difficult to ride a tiger now, but he has to ask hard.

"It was only in an instant for other immortals to move mountains and seas, why did the snow prayer just now drag on for ten days? Zhang Tianshi has ruled out many factors just now, may I ask the prince, the reason for this delay, is it that the officials of this dynasty are not virtuous enough? ”

Lu Ning smiled and said.

"I have a vast territory, a large population, and there are not 10,000 large and small officials combined, but also 8,000, whether everyone is virtuous or not, I have a scale in my heart. Why do you need to be said? ”

Li Hanlin felt that he had always copied and written in the Qingshui Yamen of the National History Museum, and he did not need to give gifts to others, nor could anyone give him gifts, and this reputation was worthy of his heart.

So, he asked sharply.

"Lord Wang, you love some clever inventions, but you have forgotten the moral articles of Confucianism. Excuse me, can a virtuous minister do such a thing? ”

At this moment, the eyes of all civil officials are focused on Lu Ning, it turns out that the most unvirtuous courtier in the world is you, see how you can justify!

Just that you colluded with Zhang Tianshi's magic stick to fool the Long Live Lord, and moved a stone to hit your own feet, Lu Ning smiled.

"You say the things I invented are clever and irrelevant?"

Li Deng said with a convincing voice.

"This dynasty is based on Confucianism, and anything that does not conform to the way of the saints is crooked!"

"Are you sure?" Lu Ning seemed to be smiling.

"I'm willing to ......"

Li Deng didn't think about it, said two words, and suddenly found that everyone couldn't help laughing, and obediently covered his mouth.

"I'm sure, you're crooked!"

Lu Ning looked at the winter shoes he was wearing on his feet and asked.

"Do you know where these cold-proof shoes come from?"

Li Deng said triumphantly.

"This is the National Products Division according to the rank and status of the officials, handed over to the Ministry of Household Distribution to us, what does it have to do with you!"
