Chapter 537: The Trick of the Buddha Gate!
Zhu Yunxi was directly stunned by Lao Kongtou's buy-one-get-one-free promotional combination, thinking that what the hell is going on in this family, marrying a princess and pushing three obstacles, and marrying a daughter to the royal family is quite positive.
What's the matter, their old Kong family doesn't have enough food to eat?
"This ......"
"Yan Shenggong, don't you know, Gu already has four concubines......
Conne shook his head indifferently.
"It's fine!"
"The emperor's three palaces and six courtyards are also in line with the etiquette system, and they are not bad rules."
Zhu Yunxi said helplessly.
"The point is that I have a concubine!"
"Although I don't like it very much, after all, it was the emperor's grandfather who married me, and I still respect others."
When Conne heard this, he didn't take it seriously.
"Then be demoted to a side concubine!"
"My Kong family's concubine entered the palace as a concubine, and it is not an insult to your royal family."
Zhu Yunxi refused without hesitation.
"No way!"
"Mu Yao is not at fault, Lone will never depose her as a concubine in order to marry a girl surnamed Kong!"
"Don't mention this again!"
"As for the marriage between Kong Yanjin and Zhu Mingyue, it is so decided, if you dare to repent, I will throw all the old and young of your Kong family to the Golden Continent to open up the wasteland!"
Zhu Yunxi put down this cruel sentence and fled with people. Unexpectedly, Lao Kongtou directly chased after him with someone and chased him all the way to the capital, so he had to marry his daughter to him.
Zhu Yunxi is not interested, but Lao Zhu is interested.
As soon as he heard that the Kong family had softened, he not only agreed to marry his granddaughter, but also wanted to marry the daughter of Confucius into the palace, and finalized the marriage with the old Kong Tou on the spot, planning to hold another big wedding for Zhu Yunxi.
All the civil officials were also very excited, and none of them needed Lao Zhu's hints, and the congratulatory music flew into the palace like snowflakes.
Their reasons are also very sufficient, and now the emperor's grandson has two and three concubines, plus a Taoist couple who is raised outside the palace and has no name or division, there are four people in total.
Among them, except for the daughter of Zhao Mian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who is a civil official, the other three are all the daughters of military generals and nobles.
In terms of probability, the next heir is likely to come from the military general's lineage.
However, it is different when the granddaughter of Yansheng Gong enters the palace, as soon as she enters the door, she is the main concubine, and she firmly occupies the position of the middle palace. Coupled with the assistance of Zhao Mian's daughter, it is a scene of two enemies and three, no matter how you look at it, you will not lose, and there is a great chance of victory.
Therefore, Zhu Yunxi's side has not let go, and the civil officials have teamed up with Lao Zhu to expedite the full set of gifts for the three media and six hires.
As for the marriage between Zhu Mingyue and Kong Yanjin, no one cares anymore.
After all, this is just a princess marrying, no matter how important it is, it can't compare to the princess's grandson marrying a concubine.
Zhu Yunxi saw the movement in the court, and also knew that this matter was irreparable.
Because this matter has changed from a marriage of one family and one surname to a state and political matter.
It's just that it's very unfair to Mu Yao, she has been strict with the rules since she entered the palace, and she has never done anything jealous.
Now that she has been inexplicably replaced as the concubine, she feels good in her heart.
Zhu Yunxi came to Mu Yao's dormitory with a guilty heart, and when he saw the lights in her dormitory flickering, and a delicate figure busy under the lamp, his heart moved.
Zhu Yunxi walked into Mu Yao's bedroom, "booed" at the eunuch and the palace maid guarding the door, and then tiptoed into the room.
Mu Yao was only wearing a bandeau and was lazily embroidering a little tiger in front of the light. I don't know if it's a mistake in embroidery, or if there's something unsatisfactory, I'm frowning under the lamp to check.
At this moment, she saw a touch of red clothes floating over, and her heart immediately tightened, and then she accidentally punctured her finger, and blushed the forehead of the little tiger, making the word "king" on his forehead a little more, and it became the word "lord" of the benevolent lord.
"Temple...... Your Highness ......"
"The concubine visits His Highness, His Highness ......"
Mu Yao didn't care about the injuries on her fingers, rolled off the bed in a panic, and knelt on the ground respectfully.
However, just as she was about to pay her respects in strict accordance with the court etiquette, she saw a big hand stretched out.
"Alone help you up!"
Before Mu Yao came back to her senses, she found that her little hand was tightly grasped by the other party, and then a huge force passed from her hand, pulling it up from the ground.
"Your Highness......"
"Minister...... Concubine Xie His Royal Highness ......"
Zhu Yunxi sat on the bed with his butt and pulled Mu Yao into his arms with a casual pull.
"I thought you would cry, but I didn't expect you to be so elegant and leisurely embroidery......"
"Come, show Lonely, what are you embroidering?"
Mu Yao's face flushed with shyness when she heard this, and the flush even went down her cheeks to the root of her ears.
"Tiger!"
The concubines were idle, and they thought about embroidering a few little tigers for the children of the future and the children of the other sisters. When the time comes, it can be used whether it is to make a tiger head hat or a gown. ”
"You embroidered wrong, you should embroider a dragon in the palace."
"When the concubine was at home, she often embroidered tigers for her younger brother, but she never embroidered a dragon, and she couldn't embroider a dragon ......"
"It's okay, embroider one for Lone, Lone doesn't dislike it."
"Concubine...... Compliance ......"
The two really didn't have much contact, just chatted a few words and then became cold.
Mu Yao also knew that this was wrong, but she really didn't know what to say to Zhu Yunxi.
"Your Highness, it's getting late, which sister are you going to today......
"Lone is not leaving today."
Mu Yao only felt a shortness of breath when she heard this, since she entered the palace, she had never been favored by His Royal Highness.
However, there are several other sisters, only a Taoist couple outside the palace, and it is rumored that he has a skin-to-skin relationship with the emperor's grandson.
"Concubine...... The concubine did not prepare ......"
"No need to prepare!"
"Lone has been ready for you a long time ago!"
As soon as Zhu Yunxi's voice fell, he pushed Mu Yao down on the bed, and then ......
Mu Yao had never seen this battle, and she panicked for a while, and her heart was in turmoil. can only use the last bit of sobriety to remind someone......
"Your Highness!"
"Lights!"
"The lights are not off!"
The palace maids and eunuchs outside the door cried with joy when they saw that their concubines had achieved positive results.
In the past two years, they have been overwhelmed by the Miaozhen view outside the palace.
Although Miao Zhenren is also a very good character, she has never been harsh to her subordinates, but the small stones around her are really hateful, and she always orders people to come to the palace to carry things, and she has to pick the best for everything.
Wang De, the head of the Bisheng North Palace, is also a thing that sees the wind and rudder, seeing that Miao Zhen is really favored, and all good things are sent over there, so that the real princess in their palace is not as good as the nameless and undivided one.
From today onwards, they finally stood up in the Ju Palace!
Zhu Yunxi lay on the bed and gasped for breath, but heard a low sobbing in his ears.
This made him very unhappy, and asked a little unhappily.
"What's wrong?"
"The concubine is just uncomfortable, if it weren't for the sister of the Kong family to enter the palace, His Royal Highness would feel ashamed, would he not have stepped into the concubine's dormitory for the rest of his life?"
Zhu Yunxi understood in an instant when he heard this, it turned out that he hurt his self-esteem!
"You think too much, Lone never wanted to snub you, but Lone really wants to wait for you to be older."
"But Lone came over today, and it is indeed related to the daughter of the Kong family, and I feel sorry for you, so I specially came here to make you feel at ease."
"You can rest assured, there is no so-called positive and side distinction in Lone's harem, Lone will choose the heir in the future, and it is not about the heir and concubine, Lone will create a set of unprecedented selection criteria."
"If the concubine of the Kong family relies on her identity and flies in the palace, Lone will not get used to her. It will be scrapped and will not be tolerated. ”
"Hmmm......"
Although Zhu Yunxi explained a lot, the knots in Mu Yao's heart still couldn't be solved, and she always felt that the imperial grandson came to take care of her emotions.
This made her very frustrated, and she felt that she could only rely on a little guilt from the imperial grandson to be favored.
Therefore, after much entanglement, she had the courage to ask an excessive question.
"Concubine...... The concubine only wants to know if His Royal Highness has ever been happy...... I like the concubine ......"
After Mu Yao said this, she was so nervous that she even forgot to breathe, for fear of hearing Zhu Yunxi's answer, and she was very much looking forward to Zhu Yunxi's answer.
It stands to reason that she, the imperial grandson and concubine, should not ask such a naïve question.
But she is a woman after all, and if she is a woman, she will inevitably be jealous.
Moreover, this matter is really unfair to her, especially the edict drawn up by the ceremonial official to depose the princess, who has been in the palace for many years without children......
Can she be blamed for this, isn't that the emperor's grandson not coming?
However, what made Mu Yao nervous was that Zhu Yunxi fell into silence for a long time as if he hadn't heard these words.
Just when Mu Yao's heart was like ashes, and she was planning to live a chaotic life in the second half of her life, she suddenly felt an itch in her ears, and heard the imperial grandson whispering in her ear.
"Lonely will come back tomorrow!"
"Uh......"
When Zhu Yunxi opened up the second battlefield, the wedding of Zhu Mingyue and Kong Yanjin was also held quickly.
According to the Daming etiquette system, Zhu Mingyue built the county lord's mansion, but did not live in the county lord's mansion, but moved to the Kong family and lived according to the standard of the Kong family's daughter-in-law.
Although the Kong family has many rules, she is still willing to be with her beloved.
Coupled with her imperial grandson's sister, the identity of the future princess-to-be, her in-laws dare not underestimate it, many etiquette rules can be exempted, and life is not difficult.
Next is Zhu Yunxi's concubine ceremony, and the officials in the entire court are nervously busy, only Zhu Yunxi is wandering around indifferently.
After a while, I will go around the city of Guihua and deploy a military operation against the Northern Yuan.
After a while, I will go to the experimental field and guide the cultivation of corn and sweet potatoes.
Occasionally, I would take a horse-drawn carriage along the Gyeonggi Highway to see the lives of the people along the way.
The reason why Zhu Yunxi is so busy is not only to avoid a wedding he doesn't like, but also to avoid that uncle and aunt.
Because he took advantage of the fact that the court was busy with the matter of accepting concubines, he finalized one thing in full swing, that is, the son of the vassal king who turned eight years old entered the royal academy in Beijing to study.
If he is not afraid of just his uncles making trouble, the key is that those princesses, who run to the palace all day long and cry, saying that the children are too young to adapt and so on.
Therefore, Zhu Yunxi simply ran away through Yuko.
However, Zhu Di's reaction was completely unexpected, and in his opinion, even if Zhu Di did not know what to oppose, he would reluctantly disobey him.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Di not only did not say a strange word, but was the first to send his three sons to the capital.
This made Zhu Yunxi very confused, could it be that the fourth uncle of his family had changed his personality and no longer thought about rebelling and becoming the emperor?
For this reason, Zhu Yunxi sent several groups of people to Beiping to investigate Zhu Di's actions inside and out.
However, to his surprise, apart from the clear knowledge that the smelter opened by Zhu Di did not produce any output, almost no traces were found.
"Your Highness, the daily output of the smelter in Caofeidian District should be about 30,000 catties, but I don't know why it is always less than 100,000 catties when it is summarized every month."
"Because this smelter is under the responsibility of King Yan, he doesn't dare to investigate too much, so he can only compare it through the warehouse."
Zhu Yunxi listened to the report of his secret agents and looked at Xu Liuzi again.
"Tell me if you've made any discoveries lately."
"Your Highness, the people who have sent from the lowly faction have found that the number of blacksmiths in Beiping City is wrong, and some of them should be hidden."
"But the lowly men went around the city for several days, and found no hidden place for the iron......
"But one thing can be clear, that is, King Yan has been secretly building weapons, but the specific location cannot be confirmed at this stage."
Zhu Yunxi thought for a while when he heard this.
"You go and arrange it, let's go to Beiping for a while to go around, I won't believe it, I can't catch the little tail of the fourth uncle!"
Xu Liuzi persuaded on the spot when he heard this.
"Your Highness, this move must not be, Yan Di is dangerous, once King Yan has a rebellion, His Royal Highness will be in danger......"
"Besides, King Yan's affairs are not worth talking about, even if he secretly builds weapons, he can't compete with His Highness's Xingwuwei."
"Relatively speaking, the current affairs in the capital are more worthy of His Highness's attention."
"Oh?"
"What's the matter?"
"Returning to His Royal Highness, now there are many monks gathered in the capital, and they preach that His Majesty the Emperor is the reincarnation of the Buddha, and he will return to the Buddha country after the completion of his cultivation period in the world."
"In addition, they also went around and said that they would build a Rulai Zen temple outside the capital, and build a Buddha statue in the appearance of His Majesty."
"Now there are many vassal kings who have donated money and materials, and the nobles of the capital have also donated generously......
Zhu Yunxi suddenly had a headache when he heard this, and he was more depressed than hearing that Zhu Di, the king of Yan, was secretly making small movements.
Although he seems to be the same in taxing Buddhism, it is fair to say that he does not treat a bowl of water evenly.
Whether it is the cheap master of Wudang Mountain Zhang Sloppy, or the Taoist couple Xu Miaojin, they all make him a little closer to the Daomen.
Therefore, it is also to curb Buddhism, and the intensity of curbing Buddhism is far stronger than Taoism.
But now Buddhism is quite disgusting, they are doing things in the name of the old emperor, who dares to oppose it, who is questioning the identity of the reincarnation of the old emperor Buddha.
"What does Grandpa Huang think about this?"
Xu Liuzi shook his head when he heard this.
"I asked the Tiger Master about it, and the Tiger Master said that His Majesty just smiled, and he didn't say good or bad."
Zhu Yunxi had a headache again when he heard this, he was most afraid of this kind of ambiguity.
If Lao Zhu made it clear that he was not a Buddha, then this matter would be easy to do, and the monks would be driven away on the spot, and then the unbuilt monastery could be demolished.
But if Lao Zhu is serious and really thinks of himself as the incarnation of the Buddha, then he can't do this, he has to recognize this Buddha grandfather even if he pinched his nose.
"Prepare the car!"
"Take Gu to see this Rulai Zen Temple!"
"No!"
Zhu Yunxi soon came to the Rulai Zen Temple, and looked at the magnificent buildings in the Zen Temple, and he frowned unhappily.
"Yo ho, even cement is used, which dog thing sold to them?"
Since Zhu Yunxi made cement in Daming, this thing has been under his strict control, and very little cement can flow into the people.
However, to his surprise, many of the buildings in the temple were made of cement.
No wonder I just heard the news, and there was such a big movement here.
If you follow the traditional construction method, I am afraid that you will not even have a foundation at this time.
"Returning to the emperor's grandson, it is said that the golden body of the Buddha was also poured with cement."
"Wow!"
"It's quite avant-garde, and they're not afraid of cracking?"
After Zhu Yunxi said this jokingly, he stepped into the inner hall of the Rulai Zen Temple.
At this time, the hall was already full of scaffolding, which had been erected from the bottom to more than ten meters.
Zhu Yunxi looked along the scaffolding, and saw that the head of the Buddha's golden body had been repaired, and there was really a shadow of Lao Zhu.
"It looks like the Buddha Gate is going to play a big game, and I don't know if the door can catch it!"
"Back to the emperor's grandson, it is said that the Daomen side is not idle, they built the temple of the Zhenwu Emperor in Wudang Mountain, and preached that His Majesty is the reincarnation of the Zhenwu Emperor."
"Poof......
Zhu Yunxi was amused by this pair of sleeping dragons and phoenixes, and if they dared to love these two groups, they caught the emperor's grandfather alone.
It's just that I don't know if the imperial grandfather can play two roles by himself, one side in front of the Buddha in the West, and the other in front of the Emperor Zhenwu in the East.
"First check how this cement flowed out, and then check the list of donors, and how much each person donated......"
"Mr. Lone thinks that this matter will not be so simple, Buddhism must have a backhand!"
