My Brother-in-law is the Prince

  Chapter 186 Triple Happiness

   In fact, the result is completely predictable.

   After all, such relics are unprecedented. The incense money of the temple comes from the recognition of the temple by devout men and women.

  Which temple is more effective, everyone naturally prefers which temple.

  If the temple also has internal scrolls, then the Jiming Temple now definitely belongs to the king of scrolls.

   Therefore, it is entirely conceivable that the incense money of Jiming Temple will be greatly increased in the future.

   As for how far he has been promoted, although Zhu Di is not sure, he can definitely say that this is a huge income.

  Therefore, Zhu Di had to express regret for Zen Master Huigen, but also felt ecstasy in his heart. Such complicated psychology made him feel wronged and desperately suppressed his emotions.

   "Besides that..." Zhang Anshi paused and said again.

  Think this is exciting?

   In fact, the next step is the highlight.

I saw Zhang Anshidao: "I heard that Western countries and Japanese countries... all believe in Buddhism, such as Annan and Siam... and Luzon and other places. I heard that there are many eminent monks there. These eminent monks... also burnt relics. All the temples have built pagodas for this relic, and the local natives all respect it like a **** and are extremely devout."

  Zhu Di stared at Zhang Anshi and said, "Huh? Is that so? Zhang Qing's family also cares about Western affairs like this?"

   "I have to care about it." Zhang Anshi said: "For your majesty, for the business... naturally, I should care more."

After a pause, Zhang Anshi continued: "Western countries believe in Buddhism. This temple is different from Ming Dynasty in Western countries. They have great influence. There are even monks. Those who can cut their hair and become monks are all dignitaries. , the real estate occupied by the temple is far beyond people's imagination...Your Majesty...do you remember the Sanwu extermination of Buddha?"

  Zhu Di suddenly understood something, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

  As soon as he said this, he became interested.

  He only knows a thing or two about the situation in the West, but he is quite familiar with history.

  Before Sanwu exterminated Buddha, a large number of people fled into the temple because of the perennial war.

These people do not need to pay taxes, do not engage in production, and there are almost no strict rules and regulations for monks at that time. Monks can marry wives. Therefore, most of the so-called temples are actually armed and have a lot of wealth. At the same time, princes who own a large amount of land have great influence and can even affect national policies.

  After experiencing the Sanwu extermination of Buddha, the management of monks began to become strict! For example, strict precepts have been formulated, requiring monks not to eat meat, not to drink alcohol, not to marry wives and so on.

  In addition, the number of land owned by the temple and the number of monks are limited, and one cannot become a monk without a certificate issued by the government.

  But even in today's Ming Dynasty, the income of temples is still astonishing.

  Zhang An Shidao: "Many temples in Western countries are actually not much different from those in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. The so-called 480 temples in the Southern Dynasties, how many buildings are in the mist and rain."

   "It can be seen that it was a grand occasion at that time. Some Western countries even directly adopted Buddhism as the state religion, and high-ranking officials and nobles had to shave and practice. The power held by this temple was not under the secular monarch."

  Zhu Di couldn't help but sighed: "If I were their monarch, I'm afraid the Buddha would be destroyed too."

Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "There are also many eminent monks there. The relics of these eminent monks are not worth mentioning compared with the ones made by me. I was just thinking... I will organize a tour exhibition of Western relics first, so that all parts of the West All the common people here should experience what it means to achieve a true cultivation result!"

"This Zen master Huizhen should also be well packaged... No, let's publicize his deeds well. He has Buddha's light when he was born, he can recite sutras at the age of three, and he jumped into the well to save people at the age of five... At the age of ten, he has become an eminent monk. , even Emperor Taizu Gao has heard of his name..."

  Zhu Di frowned again and again.

  Zhang Anshi thought to himself, fortunately Huizhen died, and there was no ashes except for one relic, otherwise it would be risky to tout him.

  The essence of propaganda is that it is absolutely impossible to assign a persona to a living person. This method can only be used on a dead person, because a dead person will not be socialized to death, and will not be prostituted.

Zhang Anshi went on to say: "I also plan...to gather some monks and write some pamphlets about Huizhen's life, and then...use the Jiming Temple as the backbone to enter the Western Ocean, and build thirty branch temples in the Western Ocean. The son's tour exhibition, creating a great momentum. Your Majesty... I heard..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Anshi lowered his voice: "In Annan, there are people who are dissatisfied with the governor's mansion of my firm, and most of the dissatisfied people are under the protection of many temples in Annan. This temple in the West is equivalent to my gentry in Ming Dynasty. They are all over the world, if they are not in the hands of the merchants, the rule of the Governor's Mansion may be in jeopardy."

"But once... people believe in Jiming Temple, then the rule of the Governor's Mansion will be greatly stabilized. Not only that... the profits of this temple... are astonishing, I said bluntly, the most spiritual temple in Ming Dynasty, the sesame oil I get every year Money, compared with the temples of the Western countries, pales in comparison."

   "It can greatly increase the power of the Governor-General's Mansion, and there will be huge profits. At the same time, I will promote the Dharma of the Ming Dynasty to fight against the Dharma of the West. Where can I find such a good thing?"

  Zhu Di understood at this time, so he said: "After listening to Zhang Qing's words, I think this strategy is very good. Zhang Qing is indeed far-sighted, but... can it be promoted smoothly?"

Zhang Anshidao: "The commercial bank is responsible for contributing, and then summoning a large number of monks to go to the West, with Jiming Temple as the backbone, and the Governor's Mansion to build momentum. The important thing is that we still have this relic. Once this relic is released, For Western temples, it is a blow to dimensionality reduction."

  In fact, it is normal for Zhang Anshi to hear some new words here. Zhu Di was not surprised, but looked at Zhang Anshi with piercing eyes and said, "What is the dimensionality reduction blow?"

"Uh..." Zhang Anshi said: "I'm talking nonsense, it means that the relics are very powerful. The temples in Western countries have always promoted the importance of relics. Relics represent the cultivation of monks. They have been preaching for hundreds of years. Now...but it just happens to be the magical weapon for the massive invasion of Jiming Temple."

Zhu Di suddenly became more interested, and said: "This matter...you have to pay more attention to it. All the sesame oil money from Jiming Temple can be invested in it. Commercial banks can not use the profits of Jiming Temple for three or even five years, but the construction of Western temples is not. It's important, the monks in Jiming Temple... I'm afraid there is not enough manpower, so let's do it...I ordered the Senglu Division to transfer some monks from other temples to Jiming Temple."

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, it's just about the Annan Temple... who should be in charge? First, this person needs to be a monk, and second... this person needs to know how to manage. Besides... it's better to be younger, If the old monk... the road is long and long, I am worried that if I get halfway, I will pass away and have to be pulled back to burn the relics."

  Zhang Anshi still has a conscience. In fact, this person is Yao Guangxiao the best.

   But after all, he is old, so he might not be able to bear such bumps.

  Zhu Di walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, thinking seriously.

   "Yeah, if there is no monk... such a big thing can't be done! Zhang Anshi, do you have someone to choose?"

  Zhang An Shidao: "I... don't know anything about monks, so I ask your Majesty to make up your mind."

  Zhu Di lowered his head again, frowning honestly, and after a long time, he said: "To manage such a big stall, people must be reliable, and they must be monks... If you become a monk halfway, find a minister to be ordained... It doesn't seem appropriate..."

   Suddenly, Zhu Di raised his head: "What do you think about Kong Kong?"

  Zhang Anshi was taken aback, he immediately said: "Your Majesty, no, Kong Kong is not reliable, if he..."

Zhu Di said lightly: "Although this kid is stupid, he has ruled the world after all. His experience is extraordinary. He has learned the lesson of losing his country. If he thinks about it... he will be smarter than before. With his experience and knowledge, he can take care of a few Ten monasteries should not be a difficult task. What's more, he has been ordained as a monk, and he is still young, and his body is strong enough to cope with the situation in the West."

After all, Zhu Di said again: "In addition, he is from the Zhu family after all. I am still worried that he is a monk, and dare to rebel? He has been by Master Yao's side all this year, and he should have learned some skills. , instead of staying in Jiming Temple, it is better to go to Annan, if there is any greed, isn't there still Zhu Gaoxu in Xiyang?"

   "You don't have to pretend to be cut off from him. I asked you to let you discuss the matter. Don't you think that if you say a few nice things about him, I will think that you have colluded with that Zhu Yunqi?"

With that said, Zhu Di took his seat, frowned and continued: "When Emperor Taizu Gao was here, the most worrying thing was his descendants. He was born as a commoner, had suffered a lot, and knew the hardships of the world, so he was especially afraid that his descendants would also That's it. At the beginning of Jingnan, it was Zhu Yunzheng who was unrighteous first, but I also have to be unkind, Zhu Yunwen was stupid and lost his country, but after all, he is still the grandson of Emperor Gao, the great ancestor, and he has escaped into Buddhism, why should I be afraid of him?"

"After thinking about it, since he is suitable, let's teach him! He has done a good job, and I will never treat him badly. If he dares to have other thoughts, I can teach him to be wiped out with a snap of my fingers. At that time There is nothing polite to say."

  Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty is benevolent and righteous."

  Renyi is a bird.

  Zhu Di said: "Your idea is very good. This matter must be planned by the firm behind the scenes."

"Since His Majesty chose Kongkong, then I have another story. It is said that there was a prince who opened up his spiritual consciousness since he was a child and devoted himself to Buddha. After that, he became emperor, but he went to practice in the mountains by himself, and he would rather abandon The worldly throne and enjoyment should also be enshrined to the Buddha, accompanied by green lanterns. Your Majesty...do you think this is good?"

  Zhu Di was taken aback for a moment, and then said after a long time: "Is the prince you are talking about Shakyamuni?"

  Zhang Anshi was surprised: "Really? Hey, it looks a bit like it."

  I couldn't help thinking, I don't know if Shakyamuni, the old man, has a fourth uncle?

  Zhu Di said: "I don't know how to toss about it. As long as I see results, after three or five years, if the results are in vain, then all my money will be wasted."

  Zhang Anshi said: "I must do my best."

  Zhu Di nodded: "That's right... Zheng He's treasure fleet is about to return, and their fleet has arrived in Champa. Send someone to send a message on a flying horse... But..."

  Zhu Di took a deep look at Zhang Anshi, and then said: "Deng Jian, who went with Zheng He, claimed to have your instruction to continue sailing west..."

  Zhang An Shidao: "Speaking of it, I seem to have told Deng Jian to do this, but in fact it was just casual talk at the time."

  He said it casually. In fact, this is Zhang Anshi's survival principle. Nothing can be said to be dead. If you want to advance, you can attack, and if you retreat, you can defend.

  If His Majesty is furious because of this, he can immediately say, I'm just kidding, that idiot Deng Jian actually believed it, what's none of my business?

   But if His Majesty is happy, he can say that Deng Jian refused at that time, and I forced him to go.

However, there was no joy or anger on Zhu Di's face, and he just nodded calmly: "This Deng Jian has a bit of courage, but going here is afraid of dangers, so let's think of him as exploring the sea route for the next voyage to the West. Zhang Anshi, You taught him to continue westward, but what intentions do you have?"

  Seeing that Zhu Di was not angry, Zhang Anshi breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately came to the spirit and said: "Treasure hunt."

"Treasure hunting?" Zhu Di obviously didn't expect to get such an answer, he laughed and said: "You boy, I will be rich in the world tomorrow, what kind of treasure can he find in those ships? Even if the ships are filled with gold... It doesn’t have to be so much trouble.”

  Zhang Anshi grinned happily: "There are some treasures that are worth more than gold, but now there is no horoscope. I am a prudent person, so I will forgive you."

Zhu Di glared at Zhang Anshi, but he didn't say anything more about it, but said: "Hurry up to arrange the affairs of the temple, and your Neiqianhusuo... also hurry up... I heard Beizhen Fusi said, They have already found some clues."

   "Brows?" Zhang Anshi asked in surprise, "What kind of eyebrows?"

  Zhu Di said: "You are the commander of the envoy, and you are in charge of the Neiqianhu Office. Do you still need me to tell you about these things?"

  Zhang Anshi: "..."

  Zhang Anshi took a deep breath and said: "I will have clues on my side soon, please rest assured, Your Majesty, within a few days, I will uproot the rebellious party in the capital, leaving no one behind."

  …

  Hurrying out of the palace, Zhang Anshi returned to Qixia, only to realize that his brothers were still watching the excitement in Jiming Temple, and did not go down the mountain.

   Immediately summoned Chen Li and Zhu Jinlai.

  Zhang Anshi first looked at Zhu Jin: "Over there in the desert, is there any news?"

  Zhu Jin said: "There has been news in the past two days... A few days ago, there was a clue in that person's letter."

  Zhang Anshi immediately looked at Chen Li: "Where are people... Are you all staring at them?"

  Chen Lidao: "I've already started to watch, the important thing right now is...follow the vines, it's not appropriate to startle the snakes now."

  Zhang Anshi nodded: "So wait a little longer, be patient, be careful, and don't let the other party notice."

"Yes."

  Zhang Anshi said again: "Beizhen Fusi, have you heard any news?"

  Chen Lidao: "It is said that Ji Gang went to Datong in person and arrested many rebels. He is now interrogating."

  Zhang Anshi said disdainfully: "This Ji Gang... is really eager to make contributions!"

  Chen Li hurriedly said: "That's right, he is worthy of being compared with you, Lord Hou? In the humble eyes, Ji Gang is not even worthy of shining shoes for Lord Hou."

  Zhang Anshi suppressed his hand: "You can't do this, he is the commander after all. In terms of it, I am just his assistant officer, just a commander."

  Chen Li was in a hurry: "So what, the brothers of Humble and Neiqianhu only have Lord Hou in their eyes. As for Ji Gang, who is he?"

  Zhang Anshi just smiled: "Okay, don't bother me, you can find some people from Neiqianhusuo. I have forged some good steel here, and made it into armor and weapons. Let them have a try."

   "Ah..." Chen Li was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Jin Yiwei doesn't need to wear armor, why not stick to the model camp first."

   "I mainly want to try it out. Whether the spear is stronger or the shield is stronger, just listen to me, don't be too long-winded."

  Chen Li: "..."

  …

   "Your Majesty, Ji Gang wants to see you."

  Yi Shiha walked in cautiously and reported to Zhu Di.

  Zhu Di hummed, noncommittal.

  Yi Shiha didn't understand Zhu Di's mind for a while, so he stood there, silent.

  After a while, Zhu Di looked up at him: "Call in."

  A moment later, Ji Gang entered the hall, and he bowed down on the ground in fear: "Humble..."

  Zhu Di interrupted him: "What's the matter?"

   Looked impatient.

   Ji Gang became even more panicked.

Zhu Di stared at him and said, "I've heard that you and Deng Wu, the commanding officer, are at odds and quarreling frequently, and this guard is also disturbed by you. Hmph, you are a commanding officer, can't you even control Wei Li?" ?”

  Ji Gang trembled and said: "The sin of ten thousand deaths."

  Zhu Di said lightly: "What's the matter, let's talk."

  Ji Gangdao: "I was in Datong, arrested dozens of rebels, and tortured them..."

He originally wanted to talk about torture, but then he thought about it, because of this, he almost didn't fold himself into it, so he quickly ignored it: "They confessed that not only Xu Wen was involved in the case, but also... the generals of the border town As well as merchants, I feel that this is a serious matter, so I am here to report it."

  Zhu Di's face softened slightly: "Really? Who is involved?"

   "This..." Ji Gang said: "The minister is still investigating, and I think there will be clues soon."

   "Then who did they collude with again? Oala or Tatar?"

   Ji Gang: "..."

  Zhu Di snorted: "You only caught a few thieves, and you came to me to ask for credit?"

   "The minister is dead." Ji Gang kowtowed, and then he raised his head: "I think... may be involved... King Ning..."

  After Zhu Di heard this, his pupils shrank suddenly.

   "Zhu Quan?" Zhu Di stood up, hands behind his back, pacing back and forth.

  Ji Gangdao: "There are many signs that... the military officer involved may be related to Duoyan Sanwei stationed in Bianzhen... and... among them...many of them are active in Daning. This Daning is the domain of His Royal Highness King Ning..."

  Zhu Di frowned, he seemed to smell something.

   He may not be too wary of other people.

  But Ning Wang Zhu Quan is different.

  At the time when Zhu Di was in trouble, one of the main military horses came from his Yanwang Guard, and the other army horse was Zhu Quan's Duoyan Sanwei and Ningwang Guard.

   It can be said that Zhu Quan has more troops than Zhu Di.

  When he 'borrowed soldiers' from Zhu Quan, Zhu Di assured Zhu Quan that he would really enter Nanjing City in the future, and after that, the two brothers would share the wealth and the world equally.

  Obviously, Zhu Di is a liar, Lao Tzu Jing is in trouble, why should I take turns being emperor with you?

After Zhu Dijing was difficult to succeed, Zhu Di immediately began to pretend to be confused, saying that he had never said those words, and because Zhu Quan's fief was in the important border town of Daning, and Zhu Quan was a quite capable person, he said that he was a civil servant. Martial arts are not too much, the military and civil affairs of Daning are handled extremely well, and they are very popular.

  So Zhu Di changed Zhu Quan to Nanchang again.

  If you talk about other people, Zhu Di doesn’t have to care. Even Zhu Yunqi is just a waste in front of Zhu Di. The king Zhu Gui of that generation is even more insignificant. Zhu Di dared to rush up and beat him to death alone.

   But Zhu Quan is different.

  Among all the sons of Emperor Taizu Gao, only Zhu Quan is not inferior to Zhu Di.

  Zhu Di suddenly looked back, took a deep look at Ji Gang, and spit out two words: "Investigate thoroughly!"

  Ji Gang raised his head slightly and said: "The thorough investigation His Majesty said..."

  Zhu Di said lightly: "Why, are you afraid?"

   "No, I dare not." Ji Gang hurriedly lowered his head and said, "I just... hope that His Majesty will make it clear that if His Highness King Ning is really involved, is it possible..."

   "Yes!" Zhu Di said decisively 5: "Investigate thoroughly, no matter who is involved!"

  Ji Gang said: "I understand."

   Ji Gang seemed to have taken a reassurance, and finally resigned calmly.

  Zhu Di became worried about gains and losses, he frowned deeply in worry, then suddenly raised his head and glanced at Yi Shiha, and said: "I expected that I would have today with the Seventeenth brother... hey..."

  Yi Shiha said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, don't worry, we will find out when Jin Yiwei checks."

Zhu Di sighed, and said: "You don't understand, this seventeenth brother is a dragon and a phoenix among the people, not to mention...Duoyan Sanwei, and many heroes who have followed me in Jingnan, but they all remember his kindness. Besides, he is also considered a Jing Nan's number one hero, if the matter I am worried about involves him, the matter will not be simple."

  Yi Shiha said: "Your Majesty, why not call His Highness King Ning to the capital first..."

  Zhu Di nodded: "You are right, at this time, we can't let him stay in Nanchang, call the capital!"

"Down the call, just say that I miss Seventeenth Brother very much, and hope that he can come to the capital for a reunion. Remember, etiquette must be thoughtful. If he says he is sick and can't come, don't force it. Send an imperial envoy... no, send the Minister of Rites to go. .”

  Yi Shiha knew very well that Zhu Quan's weight was unusual, so he asked, "Where's King Ning's family?"

Zhu Di shook his head: "That's unnecessary. Let them stay in Nanchang. I let the Seventeenth Brother come to the capital just as a precaution, not to blame him. I think at the beginning, if it wasn't for the soldiers who came from him Ma, how can I succeed?"

   "I think back then, I promised him in the name of Emperor Taizu Gao to divide the world equally, and I was really ashamed to say it... If he had different intentions, it would be reasonable. If I were him, I'm afraid it would be against his mother."

  Yi Shiha didn't want to express too many opinions on such words, so he just nodded.

  …

  On the other end, Ji Gang hastily returned to Jinyiwei.

  He immediately returned to his office. At this time, he no longer felt the depression he had before, and summoned the military officials from the Fusi of Nanbei Town to come to him. After sitting down firmly, he said: "There is a big case today, and everyone listens to the order."

  It's just... the expressions of the guards are different, and they are not as cautious and respectful as before.

  Especially Deng Wu, sitting with his legs crossed, still holding the teacup, smiling like a half-smile.

  The corner of Ji Gang's mouth curled into a slight sneer.

   Then, he suddenly pulled out the long knife at his waist.

  The Xiuchun knife in his hand slashed across the silver light.

   With the saber at the front, it slashed fiercely at Deng Wu's hand holding the teacup.

  Uh... ah...

  Deng Wu let out a mournful roar.

  Although Ji Gang used the back of the knife, when he slashed with such force, his wrist seemed to be snapped, and the teacup in his hand fell immediately.

  Deng Wu was in pain, and he fell on all fours.

  Everyone was stunned.

  Ji Gang walked towards Deng Wu step by step with a cold face, and then raised his leg and stepped on Deng Wu's face on the ground. The strength of his foot became stronger and stronger, as if he was going to crush Deng Wu's head in the next moment.

  Ji Gang's eyes were dark and cold, and he said slowly: "Deng Tongzhi, the governor is talking here, and you still have the time to drink tea?"

  Deng Wu was caught off guard, startled and angry in his heart, and couldn't help cursing: "Ji Gang, what are you going to do?"

   "It's just to teach you the rules, that's all." Ji Gang gave him a disdainful glance, then glanced at everyone, and then said slowly: "From today on, if anyone does this again, Deng Wu will end up."

  Deng Wu was so painful that he was about to pass out, but he still refused to admit defeat and said: "Ji Gang, you are the commander, but I am also a colleague, don't think..."

"What do you think? I thought you were an acquaintance, and the governor would look at you high? What are you, do you deserve it?" As he spoke, Ji Gang glanced at the people in the hall again, with a contemptuous smile on his face: "You If you are not satisfied, you can go to sue, you can also go to court, it is not your turn to be domineering here, Deng Wu."

   After saying that, he raised his leg, and then stepped on it hard.

  Deng Wu let out a loud roar, but this foot stepped on his chest and abdomen, and he felt his body throbbing, as if his ribs were about to break.

  Ji Gang ignored him again, turned around, pressed the hilt of the Xiuchun Knife retracted from his waist, and said coldly: "From now on, everyone obeys orders!"

   "Here." Everyone suddenly agreed.

  …

   Qixia.

  Chen Li hurriedly found Zhang Anshi, and said anxiously: "Master Hou, Lord Hou..."

  Zhang Anshi was facing him with his back, but he was holding a long knife in his hand at this time. He was playing with the long knife, looking like he couldn't put it down, he slashed hard in the void, and then turned his head and said: "What's the matter?"

   "You can do it now..." Chen Lidao: "It has been found out..."

"yes?"

  Zhang Anshi's eyes lit up a little, and he immediately cheered up and said, "It really is that person?"

  Chen Li said without hesitation, "There is absolutely nothing wrong."

  Zhang Anshi nodded, and said decisively: "Call the troops immediately, and I will lead the team to fetch people myself."

"Yes."
