On this day, King Lu, who had just woken up not long ago, was sitting drowsy on his shoulder and coming to the palace.

"Your Highness, please get off the sedan chair."

But as soon as King Lu arrived at the palace gate, the Jinyi guard in the inner room stopped the commander-in-chief and said: "According to the system, you can't enter the palace without a grace." ”

King Lu sank his face after hearing this, and then he still got off the sedan chair, but when he passed by the commander-in-chief of the brocade guard, he suddenly kicked the commander-in-chief of the brocade guard.

The commander-in-chief of this Jinyi Guard is a veteran of a hundred battles who was promoted from the border town to the Jinyi Guard, named Wei Bin.

Now under the influence of Zhang Jingxiu's rectification of the Jinyi Guard, plus he has a military merit medal on his body, he has to be promoted to the commander-in-chief of the internal duty room, and he is responsible for the inner court guards in shifts.

And because he was a veteran of a hundred battles, Wei Bin withstood King Lu's kick, only pursed his mouth, shook his body slightly, and didn't say much.

"What is the difference between the things that give me the door of the Zhu family and a dog?"

King Lu himself took a few steps back, but he still sneered, and then went to the Empress Dowager Li's bedroom with his hands behind his back.

For a while, when the palace maid next to Empress Dowager Li saw King Lu coming, she hurriedly opened the curtain and went in to report, but King Lu stopped her: "Don't worry, Onyx, Lone has something to ask you, how did Lone ask the Queen Mother for you?" ”

"Your Highness, don't mess around, here are all the emperor's people!"

At this time, the female official beside the Empress Dowager Li came over and reminded King Lu.

King Lu smiled at this time: "Madam misunderstood! Lone was just joking with her, if Lone really wanted her, he would have asked the royal brother directly. ”

Then, King Lu came in first with a disappointed face and bowed his hands outside: "The child asks the queen mother for peace!" ”

When Empress Dowager Li saw King Lu coming, she immediately smiled: "My son is here!" ”

Immediately, Empress Dowager Li let King Lu walk in, and let her sit on the same bed with her, and held him in her arms, rubbing the crown of King Lu and asking, "Did you sleep well last night?" ”

"Thanks to the blessing of the queen mother, after reading the Buddhist scriptures given by the queen mother, I slept well every night."

King Lu replied.

Empress Dowager Li smiled: "That's good, the only thing I'm not worried about now is you!" After I left the palace and lived in another place, I was relieved to be able to sleep peacefully; In the future, maybe it won't be difficult for you to become a vassal. ”

When King Lu heard this, his expression was a little gloomy: "The child wants to spend more days with the queen mother and the royal brother." ”

"How can it be done, the country has a system, and the vassal king must become a vassal when he reaches his age, and you haven't gone now, it's already an exception."

"Don't say anything stupid like that again."

Empress Dowager Li pushed King Lu and said so.

King Lu said "um", then got up and said, "Does the queen mother know that the Buddhist temples in the world are in trouble now?" ”

"What's so difficult?"

"Did someone really want your imperial brother to destroy the Buddha?"

Empress Dowager Li asked hurriedly.

"Not really!"

"It is because of the acres of Qingzhang fields in the past, so that the temple fields of many Buddhist temples have decreased a lot, and now many monks in the world are unable to continue, many monks have to return to the vulgar, and many of the immortal lamps that pray for my Ming Dynasty are not enough to light the lamp oil!"

King Lu replied.

Empress Dowager Li frowned slightly after hearing this: "Didn't I donate all the rent of my own farmland to the Buddhist temples in the world every year, why are they not enough?" ”

"Nowadays, the world is under great rule, so there are more master Buddhist temples praying for the blessing of the Ming Dynasty, and your Zhuangtian is naturally not enough."

"The main thing is that there are fewer monks, and many Buddhist temples that pray for the blessing of the community are about to cut off the lamp oil and rituals for blessings, and suddenly such a large number of interruptions, I am afraid that the Bodhisattva will blame!"

When King Lu said this, he said to Empress Dowager Li: "So, what they mean is that can the royal family exempt all the temples in the world from taxes and servitude, so that they can prosper Buddhism and maintain the peace of the Ming Dynasty forever?" ”

"Bow, you kneel!"

Empress Dowager Li suddenly twisted her eyebrows and ordered.

King Lu couldn't help but be stunned.

Empress Dowager Li was even more serious for a while: "Why, even you don't listen to the Queen Mother?" ”

King Lu knelt down and kowtowed to the ground: "My son doesn't dare!" ”

Empress Dowager Li looked at King Lu and pointed at him: "You, you, don't you know that your brother just let the Ming Dynasty win two big victories in Mobei, plus the previous Ping-Burma and the Dasheng of the Expedition to the Japanese, the martial arts are promising, and the Lihui Gongqing, En and Li Shu, it can be said that the unai Xianfu is not called holy!" You still want to let your mother and me interfere with him, do you really think that I can keep it forever? What's more, your mother-in-law has always been dissatisfied with you, especially when you are always more luxurious than your royal brother, and even want to get married like him! If you let her know that it is your idea to let the Buddhist temples in the world be exempt from taxes and forced labor, do you think you can live? ”

"The child knows it's wrong!"

"The child has embarrassed the queen mother!"

King Lu hurriedly pursed his lips and said.

Seeing this, Empress Dowager Li couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and said, "Get up." ”

"Yes!"

Only then did King Lu stand up.

Empress Dowager Li summoned him to sit down beside her, and said:

"The queen mother also wants you to live a better life in the future, and take advantage of the big wedding to get more benefits, but that is when you can copy Zhang Juzheng, and use the money copied by Zhang Juzheng's family as the capital for you to open a shop and do business after the domain!"

"But now, Zhang Juzheng's house has not been copied, and your royal brother has turned the imperial store into a joint-stock system, the royal family only dividends, but the business is in the hands of the imperial court, if it is rewarded to you, the courtiers will naturally not do it, saying that it will affect the national treasury and damage the foundation of the society!"

"So, now I can only wronged you! Lesser benefits. It's just that after a hundred years, I will give you all the farmland that your grandfather and father gave me, this is the only thing I can give you, and you don't have to think about the rest! ”

"After all, your mother and I are just people in the harem, and there are many things that cannot be said, not to mention, your imperial brother is already old!"

"Yes, the kid remembers."

King Lu couldn't hide his disappointment and replied.

Empress Dowager Li said again: "Don't complain about your imperial brother, he is an emperor who wants to do a career, and he has done more than I imagined!" ”

"It's really not good for me to interfere with a woman's family anymore, and over the years, I can also see that he is not my son alone, he is the monarch of the world, and he is also your monarch!"

"So, you have to understand that everything in this world is his, what he gives you is yours, if he doesn't give it to you, you can't ask for it, let alone take it without telling you!"

"But it's not filial enough to the queen mother!"

"He guards against his mother and me like a thief."

King Lu was very disappointed, so he still couldn't help but say his inner thoughts.

Empress Dowager Li hurriedly glanced around a few times, and whispered:

"Don't say that in the future!"

"That's how the Son of Heaven is! The closer the person, the more they have to be guarded, and even sometimes they keep an eye on it, which is also a kind of protection, to avoid real fratricide in the future! ”

"You have also been pampered by me since I was a child, so that you really don't know how to be humble!"

"You remember, if you want to be loved by the world because you are the emperor's brother, then you must first love him, without the supreme imperial power, you are nothing!"
