Chapter 619: Side Effects of the Rites
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and said.
"The ancient immortals, moving mountains and seas were all in one thought, and the main reason why I personally fasted and bathed and begged for snow was delayed for ten days was actually you, a hypocrite who had been abandoned from the beginning!"
Zhao Ming originally wanted to use this excuse to stumble on Lu Ning, but who would have thought of this stumbling block, and he actually stumbled under his feet when he turned around.
Frightened, he hurriedly kowtowed, and his face was bloody.
"Your Majesty spares your life, Your Majesty spares your life!"
At this time, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were all in the ground, and asked His Majesty to quickly execute this hypocrite with a honey-bellied sword, so as to correct the atmosphere of the court.
Zhao Ming looked at the prince with pleading eyes again, and the prince secretly scolded a useless waste in his heart, but on the cusp of this, he couldn't intercede with this person.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhao Chenglong, the scholar who was the first to propose just now.
"Zhao Aiqing, you found out the flaw that Qiu Xue discovered just now, and now that the culprit has also been found, how do you say it should be judged?"
Zhao Chenglong sighed, just now he was instructed by someone to take the opportunity to attack Lu Ning, who knew that he would throw the pot back instead.
It can be seen that time is also fate, and now the time and place are not on their side.
In this case, this matter really can't be investigated deeply, otherwise, I am afraid that I will also suffer.
So, he said solemnly: "That Zhao Ming knew that the law was broken, and the crime was increased by one degree, so he should naturally be severely punished!"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
"How should I be punished according to the law?"
"According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, if you have a meritorious name go to that kind of place to fool around, you will have a thirty cane, and you will naturally get rid of your fame and never be hired! And this Zhao Ming has been abandoned in chaos and let his son live in that kind of place, it is really human-faced and beastly, please punish your majesty severely!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was not thinking about the Da Ming Law itself, but about losing face in front of the Heavenly Master just now, and it was a great shame for the Heavenly Master to see that his subordinates were all a group of unvirtuous ministers.
He sneered and said.
"Is such a bastard thing that has lost its humanity so cheap?"
Zhao Chenglong's face was full of embarrassment: "Please let Your Majesty make it clear!"
Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and said.
"Zhao Ming's crime has angered the heavens, delayed the opportunity for snowfall, and laid a hidden danger for the snow disaster in the coming year, how poisonous is the wolf's ambition! Spread the decree, sixty rods, and remove the fame, cut off the official position and enter the music register, and Liu Yujiao as a husband and wife, take care of their orphans and widows!"
Hearing this punishment, Zhao Ming was completely dumbfounded, thinking that it would be a big deal to be dismissed from his post for the people, and his children and grandchildren could continue to be officials in the imperial examination in the future.
Who knew that if he was directly included in the lowliest music book, he and his descendants would not be able to farm, do business, join the army, or take the imperial examination in the future, and there would be no other way to live except for making a drama or making a big teapot.
He stared at Liu Yujiao viciously and said.
"***, if you don't expose me, I can still take care of your mother and son a little, now you are satisfied, let's live that kind of lowly and shameful life together!"
Liu Yujiao said softly.
"Didn't you say back then, whether rich or poor, you would never abandon me? Now that you have fulfilled your promise, what is there to resent?"
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to listen to the two rivals anymore, so he waved his hand and asked the samurai to take them down.
After this matter was resolved, no one dared to deduct the basin for Lu Ning again, and all of them died down.
Zhu Yuanzhang talked about the reward for meritorious deeds and asked Lu Ning what he wanted.
Lu Ning said.
"One is that the father is wise and created a prosperous era of Hongwu, and the other is that Zhang Tianshi has great powers and tells the heavens the meaning of his father, and the sons and daughters are completely in accordance with the holy decree, what credit do you want? Besides, the son is already a prince, and it is his duty to share the worries of his father, and he does not dare to receive any more rewards."
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know what to reward him, and when he heard him say this, he nodded and said.
"In the past six months, you have also worked hard, go back to the palace to rest first, as for Senior Brother Zhang Tian, I will reward you well."
Lu Ning said goodbye to Zhu Yuanzhang and returned
The princesses who accompanied the palace were all in the palace.
Not long after, Zhang Tianshi passed through the house to bid farewell to him and told him before leaving.
His Majesty was quite satisfied with this snow ceremony, and promised that in the future, the royal ceremony would be handed over to Longhu Mountain.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang withdrew the power of Longhu Mountain to issue degrees.
The Taoist priest's degree is his "identity card" in the Taoist register, with this, he can participate in Taoist rituals, and he can also be exempted from military service and conscription.
This power has always been in the hands of the Taoist ancestral court Longhu Mountain, and with this Zhang Tianshi, he can call on Taoist priests all over the world.
This is a very terrifying force, and Zhu Yuanzhang has always been quite afraid of it.
Therefore, while giving Longhushan a great honor, he also returned the power to issue Taoist priests to the imperial court.
Lu Ning didn't say anything about this, just thanked his senior brother for his preaching. promised to take his family to Longhu Mountain to worship Sanqing soon. Farewell to both sides.
Zhang Tianshi got on an exclusive big boat and went up the river.
In the boat, he asked his soulless sister, "Sister, do you like Lu Ning?"
The Taoist priests of the Zhengyi faction of Longhu Mountain are different from the Taoist priests of the Quanzhen faction, and men and women can marry, which is the so-called "Huoju Taoist priest".
Zhang Qianqian's face flushed, but she admitted it.
"Brother, please!"
Zhang Yuchu sighed and said.
"Although he is a dragon and phoenix among people, he is very sensitive, and he is jealous of the people around the prince, I am afraid that His Majesty will also be jealous of the marriage between my Dragon and Tiger Mountain and the king of protection, and he may not agree, maybe it will also harm my Taoist foundation."
Zhang Qianqian was silent, her face was very sad.
Seeing his deep-rooted sister, Zhang Yuchu was helpless, and suddenly regretted asking his sister to contact this "scourge".
"Once Dragon Tiger Mountain and Lu Ning marry, they will form a force that threatens the royal family, and they will eventually be suppressed by the imperial power, I hope time can make my sister enlightened."
