Inside the East Palace.

"Fang Banyu, are you a protégé of the great Confucian Song Lian?"

Zhu Xiongying picked up a soup cup and gently blew the hot air, which should be built by filling the lake in Tianfu Palace, the humidity is too heavy in winter, and it is damp, Zhu Xiongying often stews a few cups of sour radish and duck soup to suppress the moisture.

Fang Xiaoru nodded yes, but his eyes were staring at Zhu Xiongying with a spoon, skillfully picking out the duck kidney from the old soup and swallowing it in one bite.

"Well, I'm with you...... Hmm, do you want soup? ”

"This duck kidney is a great tonic, and it is extremely healthy."

Fang Xiaoru waved his hands and swallowed saliva strangely.

After drinking the duck soup, Zhu Xiongying wiped his hands and looked at Fang Xiaoru seriously: "Companion, do you have words to teach me?" ”

Fang Xiaoru pursed his lips, his eyes flickered, but he had words to say to Zhu Xiongying, but ...... Looking around, there were a few small chamberlains on the left, and it was extremely inconvenient to speak.

"If you don't keep it secret, you will lose your minister."

He kindly reminded.

Zhu Xiongying grinned.

Good you Fang Xiaoru, looking at your thick eyebrows and big eyes, I can't think of it......

"My palace attendants, especially the personal attendants, are all from the good families of Zhou and Li, and they are credible and reliable people selected from the filial piety guards, besides, they also have the spies of Jinyiwei, if anyone dares to flow out half a word of the words between you and me, tomorrow their corpses will sink in the lake to feed the fish, and if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly......"

Fang Xiaoru's eyes froze when he heard this, and he exhaled slightly.

"I have heard that the wise and the foolish often show weakness, and the emperor and grandson are wise men, so they should be able to understand my words."

Fang Xiaoru paced a step and said, "I have come thousands of miles away, and there will be Eli for my country?" ”

Zhu Xiongying grinned again.

"Why is it for the benefit of our country? My emperor is also, the country is home, and home is the country. ”

Zhu Xiongying replied.

Fang Xiaoru took a deep breath again: "The country of ten thousand times, the one who kills its monarch will be the home of a thousand times." ”

Zhu Xiongying nodded.

Fang Xiaoru was suddenly shocked.

"This ...... How is this possible......"

He began to pace in a bit of despair, and said in a trembling voice, "This, this can't be. ”

Zhu Xiongying sighed helplessly.

"Wood is not wood, trees are not trees, there are woodcutters with axes to cut wages, wood also? Trees too? ”

I, Zhu Xiongying, have a hard life.

Not to mention the frail since childhood, every day in this palace, there are indispensable guns and arrows.

Before crossing over, Zhu Xiongying always felt that the battles in the inner palace were all the words of novelists.

I found out when I came......

The reality is even harsher than that.

Daming Palace has not been so stable.

This is actually related to the distribution of several major forces under the emperor's grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang, which is intricate and intertwined, taking the Red Turban Army as an example, it is actually divided into the Western Red Turban Army and the Southern Red Turban Army, which is the descendant of Han Shantong.

The other line is the Huaixi Township Party, most of these red scarves have been educated by Peng Yingyu and believe in Mingjiao, which is mixed with Guo Zixing's subordinates, Tianwan and Han's generals.

After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, in some areas where power was tilted, the contradictions and conflicts between the literati group and the martial arts group were very intense.

At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Sect and Maitreya Sect were established as leftist cults, and the Zhedong Wen Party made a lot of contributions.

Of course, it was also the imperial grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang who took advantage of the trend.

However, many people in the martial arts group of the Ming Dynasty are inextricably linked with the secret organizations of Mingjiao and Maitreya.

The emperor's grandfather, Zhu Yuanzhang, repeatedly slaughtered, repeatedly suppressed the civilian clique, and often punished the martial clique, which directly led to the strong breeding of dissatisfaction among the civilian clique, which in turn led to the remnants of the Ming Sect and the Maitreya Sect among the people, and even in the base camps of some civilian cliques, they became more and more prosperous.

For example, Wenzhou, the hometown of Liu Bowen, is sincere......

Liu Bowen knows astronomy and geography, but secret religion in eastern Zhejiang and other places has become popular, and the coincidence is really too much of a coincidence.

The struggle in the court inevitably affected the harem.

Zhu Xiongying discovered very early that his stepmother, Concubine Lu, was strange to herself, not so good, but not so bad, and the strangest thing was that she was often surrounded by some inexplicable forces and inserted some small chamberlains.

These little chamberlains, castrated since childhood, and sent to the palace, grew up with Zhu Xiongying.

The guards who piggyback and protect Zhu Xiongying often have some unfamiliar faces, and even their father Zhu Biao can't influence them......

Thinking of this, Zhu Xiongying felt that his head was big, it was hard to be the emperor, the prince was hard, and it was also hard to be the emperor's eldest grandson.

So every day he had to ask himself, am I healthy enough today?

Did my regimen today make me live longer?

Am I robust today?

Zhu Xiongying suspected that Zhu Xiongying's eight-year-old hiccup in this original time and space was a victim of the power struggle.

Can you not pretend to be stupid, I'll burp if I can't do it!

Hearing Zhu Xiongying's words, Fang Xiaoru's eyes opened again.

He took a deep breath.

was about to speak, but Zhu Xiongying stretched his waist greatly.

"Okay, I've talked too much today, and I've spent a lot of energy."

"I'm going to soak my feet and get ready for sleep, I have to sleep for five hours a day, otherwise I'll be dizzy, please go to bed."

With a wave of his sleeves, Zhu Xiongying left directly.

Leaving Fang Xiaoru frowning lightly, he solemnly saluted Zhu Xiongying's back.

……

Here, Zhu Tan cried out.

"Damn, why is he longer than me, farther than me, why!"

Zhu Tan, the king of Lu, is extremely favored, and the fief is also a relatively wealthy Lu land, all of which is inseparable from the favor of his biological mother Ning Concubine Guo, who is extremely favored, making Zhu Tan also arrogant and arrogant.

One of the chamberlains followed him to no avail, and his eyes rolled to the other chamberlain.

He leaned down, his eyes rolled, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, I know that there is an immortal chief who is good at refining elixirs, and is good at the techniques in the room, and has many mystical techniques, why doesn't Your Highness ask the immortal chief to give ideas for His Highness?" ”

The attendant on the opposite side also smiled flatteringly: "Yes, yes, that immortal chief will also have all kinds of immortal arts, like sprinkling beans into soldiers, turning talismans into fire, divine soldiers descending from the sky, etc., His Royal Highness is in a bad mood, it is better to visit the immortal chief, see the immortal chief's mysterious immortal arts, and the mood will naturally get better." ”

Zhu Tan pouted and frowned, the chamberlain hurriedly wiped his snot off, and he asked in an urn voice, "Is this immortal really so magical?" ”

The chamberlain sighed: "That's it, this immortal chief, but the Nine Heavens Quanzhen Immortal Master, the dignitaries and nobles of the former Yuan, they all treat him as a guest and treat him as a courtesy, he, he, is especially good at this, refining all kinds of elixirs, and keeping the ...... that His Highness likes."

Zhu Tan's eyes lit up, he wiped his nose, and his depressed mood was offset at once.

Children are like this, one second the mood is sunny, and the next second there is a rainbow.

In the land of China, because the former Yuan believed in Buddhism, Buddhism was very prosperous in various places, and Genghis Khan canonized the Quanzhen Immortal Master Qiu, which made Taoism also popular among the people.

It seems that Mingjiao, Maitreya Sect, etc., has a shadow in the Southern Song Dynasty and the former Yuan Dynasty, and because of the prosperity of the former Yuan Dynasty religions, it has long been deeply rooted in the people and has a far-reaching influence......

After all, even today's saint Zhu Yuanzhang, when he can't survive, he also takes refuge in the temple and becomes a monk to have something to eat, these monks and Taoist temples are very powerful, they don't need to pay taxes, there are many tenants, not only do not pay taxes on money and grain, but also do not need to serve forced labor, and the monks also made the initial usury.

Many pawnshops, usury, grain shops, are opened by believers under the monk's command, the temple's own usury is called longevity loan, also known as longevity interest, nine out of thirteen, the interest is varied, and what kind of donkey rolling, many secret religions are left, in the name of exploiting the poor, and the people in the government and the temple work together.

It's hard to make money.

After the matter was completed, the official lord's money was returned, and the money earned was divided with the temple.

Even if the Ming Dynasty inherited Yuan Zuo, he had to pinch his nose and admit the rent released by the monk during the Yuan Dynasty in the previous dynasty, after all, the monk was not illegal.

From the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, to the Song Dynasty to the peak, and then to the Yuan Dynasty monks and Taoists to a higher level, to the current Emperor Ming Hongwu years, many monks and Taoists have developed into a large landlord class, and each other is connected with each other, faintly become a very large force that can affect the rule, many Buddha head status respect, each temple host is a disciple, a call under the local Baiying.

Take the fiefdom of King Zhu Tan of Lu, Lu Di, as an example.

Although there have been many wars, Buddhism and Taoism are mixed with the White Lotus Society, and you have already had me, and I have you.

The impact is far-reaching, terrifying.

In Zhu Xiongying's time and space, Zhu Tan, the king of Lu, died young because of excessive swallowing of gold and stones, and he was said to be famine.

It was not so much that he was addicted to the golden stone pill, but that those Taoists controlled him with the pill.

Whether there are other intentions among them is not enough for outsiders......
