Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 536: Buddhist Tricks!
Zhu Yunxi was directly stunned by the old Kongtou's buy one get one free promotional package, wondering what the hell was going on with this family, marrying a princess was pushing back and forth, and marrying a daughter to the royal family was quite positive.

What's wrong, their old Kong's family doesn't have enough food?
"This one……"

"Yan Shenggong, you don't know, Gu already has four concubines..."

Conne shook his head indifferently.

"fine!"

"The Emperor's Sangong and Sixth Courtyard are also in line with the etiquette system, so it's not a violation of the rules."

Zhu Yunxi said helplessly.

"The key is that I have a concubine!"

"Although I don't like it very much, it was the emperor's grandfather who married me after all. I still respect him."

Kong Na didn't take it seriously when he heard the words.

"Then I will be reduced to concubine!"

"My daughter of the Concubine family's entry into the palace as a concubine is not an insult to your royal family."

Zhu Yunxi refused without hesitation.

"no!"

"Mu Yao has no fault, Gu will never depose her as the concubine just to marry a woman surnamed Kong!"

"Don't mention this matter again!"

"As for Kong Yanjin and Zhu Mingyue's marriage, that's the deal. If you dare to go back on your word again, I'll throw all of you, old and young, of the Kong family to the Golden Continent to open up wasteland!"

After Zhu Yunxi put down these harsh words, he fled with his people.Unexpectedly, old Kongtou led his men to chase after him all the way to the capital, and insisted on marrying his daughter to him.

Zhu Yunxi was not interested, but Lao Zhu was.

As soon as he heard that Kong's family had been softened, he not only agreed to the eldest grandson to marry his granddaughter, but also wanted to marry the first daughter of the Confucian family into the palace. He finalized the marriage with old Kongtou on the spot, and planned to hold another big wedding for Zhu Yunxi.

All the civil servants were also very excited, and none of them needed Lao Zhu's hints, and the congratulatory memorials flew into the palace like snowflakes.

Their reasons are also very good. Now the emperor's grandson, one principal, two vices, three concubines, plus one unnamed Taoist companion raised outside the palace, there are four people in total.

Among them, except for the daughter of Zhao Mian, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, who is from the line of civil servants, the other three are all daughters of military generals.

From the perspective of probability, there is a high probability that the next heir will come from the lineage of generals.

However, it is different when Yan Shenggong's granddaughter enters the palace. As soon as she enters the door, she is the main concubine, firmly occupying the position of the middle palace.Coupled with Zhao Mianzhi's female support, even in a two-vs-three situation, no matter how you look at it, it is not a loss, and there is still a great chance of winning.

Therefore, Zhu Yunxi hadn't let go yet, and the civil servants, together with Lao Zhu, rushed to give the full set of gifts for the three media and six hires.

As for the marriage between Zhu Mingyue and Kong Yanjin, no one cared.

After all, this is just a princess getting married, no matter how important it is, it is not as important as the emperor's grandson marrying a concubine.

Zhu Yunxi saw the movement in the court hall, and knew that this matter was irreversible.

Because this matter has changed from a marriage of one family to a state and political affairs.

It's just very unfair to Mu Yao, since she entered the palace, she has abided by the rules and has never done anything to be jealous.

Now that she was inexplicably replaced as the concubine, it's hell for her to feel better.

Zhu Yunxi came to Mu Yao's dormitory with a guilty heart, and seeing the flickering lights in her dormitory, and a delicate figure busy doing something under the light, his heart skipped a beat.

Zhu Yunxi walked into Mu Yao's bedroom, gave a "shh" to the gatekeeper eunuch and the maid, and then tiptoed into the room.

Mu Yao was only wearing a tube top, lazily embroidering a little tiger facing the light.I don't know if the embroidery is wrong, or if there is something unsatisfactory, I am frowning under the lamp to check.

At this moment, she saw a red corner of the clothes floating over, her heart tightened immediately, and then she accidentally pricked her finger, which turned the little tiger's forehead red, making the word "king" on the forehead a little more, It has become the word "lord" of benevolence.

"Your Highness... Your Highness..."

"The concubine greets His Highness, Your Highness..."

Mu Yao didn't care about the injury on her finger, she 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 court etiquette, she saw a big hand stretched out.

"I will help you up alone!"

Before Mu Yao regained her senses, she found that her little hand was tightly grasped by the opponent, and then a huge force was transmitted from her hand, pulling her up from the ground.

"Your Highness..."

"Chen... Concubine, thank you Your Highness..."

Zhu Yunxi sat down on the bed and pulled Mu Yao into his arms.

"I thought you would cry, but I didn't expect you to be so elegant and able to embroider leisurely..."

"Come on, show Gu, what are you embroidering?"

Mu Yao's face turned red with embarrassment when she heard the words, the blush even ran down her cheeks to the base of her ears.

"tiger!"

"The concubine has nothing to do, so she is thinking of embroidering a few little tigers for the children of the future and the children of the other sisters. It can be used whether it is a tiger-headed hat or a gown. "

"You embroidered wrongly. You should embroider dragons in the palace."

"When my concubine was at home, I often embroidered tigers for my younger brother. I have never embroidered dragons, and I can't embroider dragons well..."

"It's okay, I will embroider one for Gu, and Gu will not dislike it."

"Concubine... obey the order..."

The two of them didn't have much contact, and they just chatted for a few words before they were silent.

Mu Yao also knew it 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 see today..."

"Gu is not leaving today."

Mu Yao felt short of breath when she heard this, since she entered the palace, she has never been favored by His Highness.

However, none of her younger sisters had ever done so, only a certain Taoist couple outside the palace was rumored to have had skin-to-skin contact with the emperor's grandson.

"The concubine...the concubine never prepared..."

"No need to prepare!"

"Lonely has been prepared for you!"

As soon as Zhu Yunxi finished speaking, she pushed Mu Yao down on the bed, and then...

Mu Yao had never seen such a battle before, she was panicked and confused for a while.I can only use the last bit of sobriety to remind someone...

"Your Highness!"

"lamp!"

"The lights are on!"

The maids and eunuchs outside the door all wept with joy when they saw their grandson and concubine achieve a positive result.

In the past two years, they have been overwhelmed by Miaozhen Temple outside the palace.

Although Master Miaozhen is also very good-natured and never treats her servants harshly, but the little stones around her are really hateful, she always asks people to come to the palace to carry things, and she has to pick the best of everything.

Wang De, the general manager of the North Palace, is also a man of his own accord. Seeing that real Miaozhen is favored, he sends all good things there, so that the real concubine in their palace is not as good as the nameless concubine.

From today, their Guanju Palace finally stood up!

Zhu Yunxi lay down on the bed panting heavily, but heard a low sob in his ear.

This made him very upset, and he asked with a bit of displeasure.

"what happened?"

"The concubine is just uncomfortable. If it wasn't for the elder sister of the Kong family who wanted to enter the palace, His Highness would feel ashamed. Would it be true that he would never step into the concubine's bedroom for the rest of his life?"

Zhu Yunxi instantly understood when he heard the words, it turned out that he hurt his self-esteem!

"You think too much, Gu never thought of ignoring you, but Gu really wants to wait until you are older."

"But Gu's coming here today is indeed related to the daughter of the Concubine family. I feel sorry for you, so I came here specially to make you feel at ease."

"Don't worry, Gu's harem doesn't have the so-called distinction between front and side. In the future, Gu's selection of heirs will not be based on the heirs or concubines. Guzi will create a set of selection criteria that no one has ever seen before."

"If the concubine daughter of the Kong family is domineering in the palace by virtue of her status, Gu will not spoil her. If she should be abolished, she will be abolished, and she will never be tolerated."

"Um……"

Although Zhu Yunxi explained a lot, Mu Yao still couldn't get rid of the knot in her heart. She always felt that the emperor's grandson came here to take care of her emotions.

This made her very frustrated, feeling that she could only be favored by a little bit of guilt from the emperor's grandson.

Therefore, after struggling again and again, she dared to ask an exaggerated question.

"Chenqie...Chenqie just wants to know if His Highness has liked...liked Chenqie..."

After Mu Yao finished speaking, she was so nervous that she even forgot to breathe, she was afraid 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 emperor's grandson and concubine, shouldn't ask such childish questions.

But she is a woman after all, and if she is a woman, she will inevitably be jealous.

Furthermore, this matter is indeed unfair to her, especially the edict drawn up by the ritual officer to depose the grandson concubine, why has she been childless for many years in the palace...

Can this be her fault? Isn't it because the grandson of the emperor didn't come?
However, what made Mu Yao nervous was that Zhu Yunxi fell into silence for a long time as if he didn't hear these words.

Just when Mu Yao's heart was ashamed, and she was planning to live the rest of her life, she suddenly felt an itchy ear, and heard the emperor's grandson whispering in her ear.

"Gu will come back tomorrow!"

"Uh……"

When Zhu Yunxi opened up the second battlefield, Zhu Mingyue and Kong Yanjin's wedding was also quickly completed.

According to the ritual system of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Mingyue built the princess's mansion, but she didn't live in the princess's mansion. Instead, she moved to the Kong family and lived according to the standards of the daughter-in-law of the Kong family.

Although the Confucian family has many rules, she is still happy to be with the one she loves.

Coupled with her status as the emperor's grandson's sister and the future princess-to-be, her husband's family did not dare to underestimate her. Many etiquette rules can be avoided if they can be avoided, and life is not difficult.

The next thing is Zhu Yunxi's concubine acceptance ceremony. All the officials in the court are busy and nervous, only Zhu Yunxi wanders around indifferently.

Go to Guihua City for a while, and deploy military operations against Beiyuan.

I will go to the experimental field in a while and guide the planting of corn and sweet potatoes.

Occasionally, I will take a horse-drawn carriage and walk along the Gyeonggi Highway to see the lives of the people along the way.

The reason why Zhu Yunxi was so busy was not only to avoid a wedding that he didn't like, but also to avoid those uncles and aunts.

Because he took advantage of the court's busy concubine affairs, he made a final decision on one thing, that is, the eight-year-old son of the vassal king will be admitted to the Beijing Central Royal Academy.

If it's just his uncles who are making trouble, he's not afraid, the key is those princesses, who run into the palace all day crying, saying that the children are too young to adapt and so on.

Therefore, Zhu Yunxi simply took advantage of the excuse to escape.

However, Zhu Di's reaction was completely beyond his expectation. In his opinion, even if Zhu Di didn't clearly object, he would reluctantly obey.

Unexpectedly, instead of saying a strange word, Zhu Di was the first to send his three sons to the capital.

This made Zhu Yunxi very confused. Could it be that his fourth uncle has changed his sex and no longer thinks about rebelling against him 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 knowing clearly that the output of the smelter run by Zhu Di was not public, there was almost no evidence of any reversal.

"Your Highness, the daily output of the smelter in Caofeidian District should be around [-] catties, but I don't know why it is always less than [-] catties in the monthly summary."

"Because this smelter is under the responsibility of the King of Yan, I dare not delve into it too much. I can only compare it by entering and exiting the warehouse."

After Zhu Yunxi listened to the report of his spies, he looked at Xu Liuzi again.

"Tell me if you have discovered anything recently."

"Your Highness, those who went to the humble job school found that the number of blacksmiths in Beiping City is wrong, and some of them should have been hidden."

"But the humble people wandered around the city for several days, and they didn't find any hidden blacksmithing places..."

"However, one thing can be made 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 after hearing this.

"You go and arrange it. After a while, let's go to Beiping for a walk. I don't believe it anymore. I can't catch Fourth Uncle's little tail!"

Xu Liuzi persuaded on the spot when he heard the words.

"Your Highness, this is absolutely unacceptable. The land of Yan is dangerous. Once King Yan turns his back on you, Your Highness will be in danger..."

"Furthermore, the matter of King Yan is nothing to worry about. Even if he builds weapons secretly, he still cannot compete with His Highness' Xingwuwei."

"Comparatively speaking, the current affairs in the capital deserve more attention from His Highness."

"Oh?"

"what's up?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, there are many monks gathered in the capital, and they preach to everyone that His Majesty the Emperor is the reincarnation of the Buddha, and they will return to the Buddha's kingdom after completing their practice in the human world."

"Besides, they also went around asking for alms, saying that they would build a Tathagata Temple outside the capital, and build a Buddha statue after His Majesty's appearance."

"Many feudal lords have donated money and goods, and the nobles of the capital have also donated generously..."

Zhu Yunxi had a headache when he heard this, and he was even more depressed than hearing Yan Wang Zhu Di's secret tricks.

Although he seems to treat Buddhism and Taoism equally, in all fairness he has not leveled the bowl of water.

Whether it's Zhang Sloppy, a cheap master in Wudang Mountain, or Xu Miaojin, a Taoist companion, they all made him get closer to the Taoist sect.

Therefore, the same is to curb Buddhism and Taoism, and the efforts to curb Buddhism are far stronger than Taoism.

But the matter that the Buddhist sect has brought up now is quite disgusting. They use the name of the old emperor to do things. Whoever dares to object will question the identity of the old emperor Buddha's reincarnation.

"How does the emperor think about this matter?"

Xu Liuzi shook his head upon hearing this.

"I asked Mr. Hu about it, and Mr. Hu said that His Majesty just smiled and didn't say yes or no."

Zhu Yunxi had another headache when he heard the words, he was most afraid of such ambiguities.

If Lao Zhu made it clear that he was not a Buddha, then the matter would be easy to deal with. Just drive those monks away on the spot, and then demolish the unbuilt monastery.

But if Lao Zhu took it seriously and really regarded himself as the incarnation of Buddha, then he couldn't do this. Even if he pinched his nose, he still had to recognize this grandfather Buddha.

"Prepare the car!"

"Take Gu to see this Tathagata Temple!"

"promise!"

Zhu Yunxi soon came to Tathagata Temple, looking at the magnificent buildings in the Temple, he frowned displeased.

"Yo ho, even the cement is used, which dog thing sold them?"

Since Zhu Yunxi produced cement in Daming, this thing has been under his strict control, and very little cement can flow into the people.

However, what surprised him was that many of the buildings in Tathagata Temple were made of concrete.

No wonder I only heard the news, and there was such a big commotion here.

If the traditional construction method is followed, I am afraid that even the foundation is not done at this time.

"Reporting to the emperor's grandson, it is said that the Buddha's golden body was also poured with cement."

"Huh!"

"It's quite avant-garde, and they are not afraid of cracking?"

After Zhu Yunxi finished jokingly saying this, he stepped into the inner hall of Tathagata Temple.

At this time, the main hall was already filled with scaffolding, from the bottom to more than ten meters away.

Zhu Yunxi looked along the scaffolding, and saw that the head of the Buddha's golden body had been repaired, and it really looked like Old Zhu.

"It seems that Buddhism is going to play a big game, and I don't know if the other side can catch it!"

"Returning to the emperor's grandson, it is said that the Taoist sect is not idle. They built the Zhenwu Emperor Temple in Wudang Mountain, and announced that your majesty is the reincarnation of Zhenwu Emperor."

"puff……"

Zhu Yunxie was immediately amused by the pair of crouching dragons and phoenix chicks. If they dared to love these two groups, they caught the emperor's grandfather and squeezed him alone.

I just don't know if Grandpa Huang can play two roles, one side is the Buddha in the west, and the other is the Zhenwu Emperor in the east.

"First find out how the cement flowed out, and then check the list of donations, and how much each person donated..."

"Gu always feels that this matter will not be so simple, and the Buddhist sect must have a backhand!"
