Chapter 16: Xiangyang Gathering Dragons (10)

Zhu Wenyu was taken aback, how could the emperor have such a big deal in his heart about Shaolin Temple? I heard that the emperor was a monk before he sat in the world, why did he still scold the monk of Shaolin Temple for being a bald donkey? Hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you must not do it, it is easy to cause trouble, Your Majesty." This Shaolin Temple is the first major school of martial arts in the Central Plains, and the Wudang faction is the Taishan Beidou in the martial arts, and it is the leader of the martial arts heroes. This time, I went to Shaolin Temple for Master Konoha's business, and Master Mu Yun, the abbot, has said many times that if I want to deal with the Tianyi Alliance, the Shaolin faction will try its best to help me, and it is very important to encircle these stinky monks, which is very important for the stability of the Central Plains martial arts. Besides, no matter how you say that Shaolin Temple is also a place for Bodhisattvas, there is no real evidence to do it to them, and the movement is not small, and it can't be closed if you don't get it. Zhu Wenyu was afraid that the emperor would have any resentment against Shaolin because of some misunderstanding, and even sent troops to suppress the Shaolin Temple and level the Shaolin Mountain, which would really be a big mess in the world, not only the martial arts in the world would give birth to an uproar, Shaolin Temple was originally a holy place for Zen Buddhism, and Wudang Mountain was a famous Taoist mountain, which affected the whole body, and even the two Buddhas and Buddhas in the world would have a big mess.

Not to mention, this Zhu Yuanzhang has never had a good impression of this Shaolin faction, but the cause is extremely complicated, and it has to be said that when Zhu Yuanzhang started more than 20 years ago. As Zhu Yuanzhang said, his strongest opponent Chen Youliang was a lay disciple of the Shaolin faction when he was fighting for the world, and Chen Youliang's master Yuan Zhen was also famous in the rivers and lakes before he became a monk in Shaolin Temple, called "Mixed Yuan Thunderbolt" Cheng Kun, worshiped under the Shaolin monk Kongjian Master at that time, and that Kongjian was naturally Chen Youliang's ancestor. That Cheng Kun was deliberately embarrassed with the Mingjiao to which Zhu Yuanzhang belonged at that time, colluded with the former Yuan Mongolian court, and caused an uproar in the rivers and lakes, so that Mingjiao suffered a lot, one of the four great kings of Mingjiao, "Golden Lion King" Xie Xun was originally the apprentice of Cheng Kun, he was blinded by him, and killed the monk by mistake, and was not allowed to be in the Central Plains martial arts for more than ten years, eliminated the feud between the Central Plains martial arts and the Ming religion, and the Central Plains martial arts helped the Ming Sect army to deal with the Mongolian Tartars together and take the country. As an outstanding figure in the Ming Sect Army, Zhu Yuanzhang has a fresh memory of this turmoil in the rivers and lakes, and later Xie Xun got revenge in the Shaolin Temple, and became a monk in the Shaolin Temple, Zhang Wuji handed over the position of the head of the Ming Sect to Yang Xiao, the left envoy of the light, and retired to the mountains and forests, but Chen Youliang was still gathering forces in the rivers and lakes to pull up the team, becoming Zhu Yuanzhang's biggest opponent, wanting to compete with Zhu Yuanzhang for the world, Zhu Chen and the two led the army to the battle of Poyang Lake, Zhu Yuanzhang won more with less, and Chen Youliang was defeated and died, but that battle also made Zhu Yuanzhang greatly injured, and the blood flowed like a river, Its tragedy made Zhu Yuanzhang frightened, so at this time, the mention of this Shaolin faction reminded him of his sworn enemy Chen Youliang, and he was immediately unhappy. However, after all, Zhu Yuanzhang has been sitting in the world for more than ten years, and he also knows the status of this Shaolin faction in the Central Plains martial arts, even if he is the son of heaven and has the power to seize power in life and death, he can't easily do anything hot to the Shaolin faction, otherwise if it causes a shock in the world, it is his own world and the people of the world who will suffer, so it is just a vent in his mouth.

"Hehe, little monkey, what I like is the way you say whatever you want, unlike those ministers, who obviously have countless calculations in their hearts, but their mouths are full of flattery to you, you have to carefully ponder what they think in their hearts, but what you say is what, without scruples, this is the truth. Little monkey, you're right, the Shaolin faction can't be suppressed, on the contrary, it must be well encircled, unless those bald donkeys blatantly oppose the imperial court, otherwise they can be caresmed, and they will make a big mess casually. Okay, little monkey, listening to you say this, there are the Shaolin faction, the beggar gang, and the Tang Sect all supporting you, it seems that I can't choose anyone else if I don't send you as the leader to deal with the Tianyi League. Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

"Hey, hey." Zhu Wenyu said a little embarrassedly: "Isn't this the credit of your old man's golden signboard?" If I weren't a Chincha-sama and held a broken gold medal, how would they take me seriously? And those magistrates, when they saw the flattering one of the gold medals, they said something unpleasant, Your Majesty, if I take the opportunity to make a fortune, I can make a lot of money, and I won't spend the gold you gave me almost as much as I wanted. Your Majesty, I'm afraid you have to give some more, otherwise you won't be able to open the pot at home, hehe. ”

"In front of me, you dare to say that I gave me a gold medal? Little monkey, you're not a little bold. But I don't seem to see you when you're timid, hehe. You've spent more than a hundred taels of gold? You're good enough to spend. Where's your money? Also spent? Don't be poor and crazy and take the gold medal I gave you as a crime, that's a crime of killing your head. Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

"Yulu?" Zhu Wenyu was a little confused: "What is it?" ”

"Your first-class guards and the thousands of Jinyi guards are hundreds of taels of silver a year."

"Hey, hey, hey." Zhu Wenyu touched his head embarrassedly, and said: "Uncle Emperor, I'm really a little embarrassed, the little monkey has never been an official, and I don't know where I got this money, I have long forgotten about it, besides, I didn't do anything, and I was a little embarrassed to take your old man's silver." ”

"Hahahaha." Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly: "You little monkey, you are also a monkey when you become an official." Do you say you're embarrassed to take it? I'm embarrassed to take the silver, I just want the gold, I think it's real, haha. He turned his face to the chanter standing next to him and said: "Gao Chan, go, go to the household department to bring out the silver for our little Zhu lord, and take another hundred taels of gold, which is considered my reward, little monkey, don't be complacent first, save some flowers, this time it is my reward for your travel this year, and I will do a good job in the future, and I will reward you heavily for destroying that bullshit cub." ”

"Thank you, Uncle Longen." According to the Son of Heaven, the courtiers should prostrate on the ground, perform three bows, shout long live, thank the lord for his grace, and then get up and bend down to serve. But Zhu Wenyu, this kid, smiled and symbolically arched his hand and made a gesture to get up straight, the big eunuch of Emperor Hongwu stood aside, pretending not to see it like no one else, like this kind of disgrace in front of the monarch is a big crime for other ministers, but for the Zhu Wenyu in front of him, it is too common, he can't count it, anyway, the emperor is favored, he doesn't take him seriously at all, if he is reminded of it, it is easy to spoil the emperor's interest and provoke the emperor to blame, who would be so stupid to blame himself?

Zhu Yuanzhang asked about the official reputation and achievements of officials in various places along the way, Zhu Wenyu knew that he and many of these local officials were only in a hurry, and he was a messenger, and he flattered a lot, and many things could only be seen on the surface, and he did not understand the inside story, and at this time, maybe his own words would greatly affect the future of an official, so he also said very vaguely, and did not comment much, but especially praised Sun Changxu and Danling County in Sichuan, and said that they were capable and resolute. He is a rare and capable officer. said that he didn't bother the local officials when he didn't have to come all the way, but just quietly crossed the border, and Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help nodding when he heard it.

"Little monkey, according to the report of Ouyang Hongfei, the chief soldier of Xiangyang, you transferred troops in the name of Qincha to suppress the grass robbers in Julong Mountain in Xiangyang, this matter was done well, and I am a military and political subordinate of the Ming Dynasty, so that these grass robbers have been stubborn for many years, harming the people, and they can be regarded as appeasement for me. You don't have to hand over the gold medal when you go back to Beijing this time, just take it, don't be crazy and send it to the pawnshop, hehe, when you go out, you will look at the local situation for me, and find out that there are corrupt and illegal things, and you can find out that although you handle it heavily, you can't be arrogant to these eight princes. But don't wronged a good person. Zhu Yuanzhang smiled again.
