The military affairs are consolidated, and the court is quite peaceful, everyone performs their duties, and the Ming Dynasty is governed quite well. After a few years of this, the courtiers found that the emperor was getting more and more wrong.

Didn't Warat lose his armor after the battle of Huailai before? They also left behind the looted gold and silver, after all, they only affected the speed of escape.

These are the blood and sweat of the people of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Qizhen originally said that he would use all this gold and silver for the reconstruction of those places destroyed by Wara.

With Zhu Qizhen's words first, after the reconstruction officially began, the officials asked His Majesty to pay for it.

However, all the twists and turns, all of which have not been heard, have all been left by Zhu Qizhen.

So many times, everyone understands.

This kid wants to be alone!

And all officials know where this money is spent.

In April of the eighteenth year of orthodoxy, he funded the construction of Taoist temples in the imperial palace.

In July, he sent eunuchs south to Ningbo to worship the ancestral hall of King Jingping, and built an ancestral hall in Beijing.

In the nineteenth year of orthodoxy, funds were allocated to renovate Taoist temples in various places, and Taoist priests were rewarded.

In the twentieth year, a large number of Taoist priests were summoned to pay tribute, and he ordered the collection of auspicious ancient books throughout the country.

Money, all spent on it.

When even if someone wrote a book, the words were fierce, telling the emperor not to indulge in the theory of cultivating immortals and attaining the Tao, and then he was imprisoned and sentenced to death by the angry Zhu Qizhen, thanks to the ministers who spoke out against it, they finally picked up a life.

There is also an official named Xu Hui, who was originally just a small Hanlin cultivator, but because he was good at stargazing, he was favored by the orthodox emperor, and he immediately rose step by step, and now he is the left servant of the ministry.

It can be seen that Zhu Qizhen is obsessed with this way.

……

"You mean, the emperor is obsessed with cultivating immortals?" Yan Ling's face showed a strange expression.

"Yes, grandpa, Your Majesty is addicted to these things, and now he has begun to ignore the government and politics, and many things are directly handed over to the master of ceremonies for sealing, you see, this, isn't this the way to bring disaster to the country!"

"Even, even ......" Grim suddenly lowered his voice:

"Even the concubines in the harem said that His Majesty hadn't been with them for a long time recently...... You say, "

He clapped his hands together,

"What a thing! He had all left his father's teachings behind, and he only thought about asking for immortals wholeheartedly. ”

"Every day, I think about being able to call the wind and rain and live forever."

"Grandpa, can that spell be taught?"

Grim asked tentatively. Although Yan Ling never admitted it, he had already acquiesced that the gale was summoned by Yan Ling.

"It's really not good, you just teach him, otherwise if you go on like this, you won't be able to produce a Taoist emperor?"

"You ask directly, can you teach him the method of immortal cultivation, won't you have it?" Yan Ling noticed his grandson's careful thoughts and said with a smile.

"That's not good, that's grandpa's secret, how can you easily teach it to outsiders......" There was a hint of longing in the grim eyes.

Watching his grandson's performance, Yan Ling chuckled:

"Of course there is a way to cultivate immortals."

Before he could be seriously happy, he continued:

"But not what he can get. One of the fates, the mysteries and the mysteries, Your Majesty has no fate, and the mortal emperor is his fate. ”

"There are times in life when you have to have it, and there are times in life when you don't want it."

"Yes." grim lowered his eyes, and in his voice, a little regret could be faintly heard.

……

After twenty years of orthodoxy, the contradiction finally broke out.

The reason is that Xu Huo stargazed and said that there are currently six people in the cabinet (Ma Yu died of illness, Chen Xun, Miao Zhen, and Gao Gu entered the cabinet), which does not fit the number of Beidou, and one more person needs to be added to correspond to the stars in the sky, and the Ming Dynasty can be stable.

So the emperor simply wanted to let him enter the cabinet. Zhu Qizhen also knew that Xu Huo would not be able to enter the cabinet through the normal procedures, so he simply ordered him to enter the cabinet.

The court was excited for a while.

The six branches were also the first iron in the matter, and they directly refuted him, and at this moment, the emperor and the courtiers had a complete falling out, and Zhu Qizhen withheld all the chapters, and no one gave approval.

Li Xian entered the palace to advise, but Zhu Qizhen didn't even see him, and the cabinet discussed it and could only send out the grim.

It's not that he is better than Li Xian, it's purely because he is the son of his teacher, no matter what, the emperor will still meet him.

Sure enough, although his face was not very good-looking, Zhu Qizhen finally met with Yan.

"Your Majesty, I heard that you want to let Xu Shilang enter the cabinet?" Yan Yan first saluted, and then asked.

Zhu Qizhen snorted coldly:

"So what?"

"Xu Shilang was originally just a Hanlin compilation, and then he was promoted to Shilang by your grace, and now he is going to enter the cabinet again, and he has risen so fast, but he has no experience in politics, and the responsibility of the cabinet is to assist His Majesty in handling the major affairs of the world, are you sure he can do it?"

"He knows the art of stargazing, and the heavens will determine the direction of my great ming." Zhu Qizhen said, with a little fanaticism in his tone.

Grim waited for him to say this, and he immediately said:

"Your Majesty, if he really knows how to watch the stars, how can he be just a small Hanlin compilation? There are so many opportunities for success in the world, how did he finally get favor until His Majesty asked the immortals? ”

"Why didn't he be the slightest bit different from ordinary people before, but as soon as Your Majesty asked, he immediately came out?"

"Your Majesty, he's just doing what you like!"

An arrow hit the bull's-eye, which directly made Zhu Qizhen pause.

He was fascinated by the fanaticism of cultivating immortals, and at this time he was finally willing to use his brain to think about all this.

Yes, Xu Huo was born in Yongle for five years, and there were countless major events after that, but this kid didn't catch it once, even if he was engaged in business, if he really knew what stargazing, he should be rich.

took the imperial examination, and it was only in the eighth year of Xuande that he finally won the Jinshi.

Could it be that he is lying to me? Zhu Qizhen's heart was shaken.

Seeing this, he immediately made persistent efforts:

"Your Majesty, the First Emperor wants to seek immortality and summon the world's scholars, but what about the end? Zulong is so powerful, but he has not been able to live forever, and the death of Great Qin II is not without this factor. ”

"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was also addicted to Fangshi witchcraft, which also led to many mediocre things, and even the eldest princess married Fangshi by mistake, and the Han Dynasty was also turbulent."

"Your Majesty, isn't this lesson enough? If immortals really exist, they should also be ethereal in the world, how can they be easily found by mortals and bestowed grace? ”

"What's the matter with the gale?" Zhu Qizhen seemed to listen to it, but suddenly asked coldly:

"I will tell you the truth, this is a jade pendant given by your grandfather to help me survive this catastrophe. Do you still think that there are no immortals? ”

Yan Yan had expected it a long time ago, and he immediately said:

"There have been rumors about the minister's grandfather among the people, and the minister also knows about it."

"Grandfather, whether he has achieved the position of immortal god or not, it is difficult to say, but during his lifetime, he did not have the slightest miracle, and you should also know this."

Zhu Qizhen nodded, indeed, Yan Ling at that time was just an ordinary old man with considerable wisdom.

"Your Majesty, since you respect your grandfather so much, then you should think that even a figure like your grandfather can only achieve a fruitful position after his death."

"If you are alive, you will become an immortal and be an ancestor, the minister has really never heard of it, most of them are pretending to be gods and ghosts, such as Zhang Sloppy during the Taizong period, and the folk reputation is very loud, but in the end, has even one person seen it?"

"Grandfather sheltered the Ming Dynasty with a strong wind and turned the tide of the tide, does what he want to see is that you are desperately pursuing the immortal path and not governing the government?"

"Your Majesty, if you really have the heart to govern the world well, if there are really ghosts and gods, they will see your merits, and you will naturally be rewarded by heaven and earth, instead of being in the company of the monks here and pampering people like Xu Hui."

"They haven't achieved any cultivation on their own, don't you think it's ridiculous that you want to learn immortal arts?"

Hearing this, Zhu Qizhen was silent. After pondering for a long time, he finally seemed to understand something, and said softly:

"Thank you Chen Guogong, I know."

"This period of time is confused."

Grim and deeply bowed.

He only felt that his heart was dripping blood, and he was guilty of deceiving His Majesty!

Because, if someone can really live, they will achieve a great achievement.

That old immortal is in his backyard right now!
