Chapter 192: Exhale and raise your eyebrows
However, when Emperor Hongzhi was smiling, a little loss flashed through his eyes, and the corners of his gently raised mouth also felt bitter.
He laughed, just knowing that it was impossible. The increase in grain production by one can be called auspiciousness, but if the increase in production by five or ten times, it would be classified as a fantasy.
If it is possible, unless a miracle happens.
It is precisely because this kind of thing is out of reach that I just longed for, but after looking forward to it, I only smile when I face this reality.
The smile on the corner of Emperor Hongzhi's mouth became even more bitter.
But what I said was that Fang Jifan and the prince were not embarrassed and made great contributions.
Emperor Hongzhi stood, perhaps because of excessive work, his body seemed a little hunched. Then he remembered something, frowned slightly and made a cold voice.
"The factory guards will be dispatched. Within ten days, I will capture all the Beggars' Sects in one go. Be sure to capture the thief's head."
Previously, the court did not dare to act rashly because it was afraid of throwing rats and being afraid of attacks. Once it was attacked, it would cause a big fight. If it was launched, it would be very likely to cause public grievances. Now, this public grievance has disappeared for the time being, so the meeting must be resolutely eliminated.
Xiao Jing and Mou Bin looked at each other, and they suddenly felt very stressed.
But he still had to say respectfully: "Abide by the order."
…………
Ministry of Rites, Daolu Department.
The head of the Daolu Department had already completed all the procedures, and even the Daozi had deleted Li Chaowen's name.
The last procedure should be to issue a document to inform the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain.
If there is no objection to the Tianshi Mansion.
From then on, there will be no Taoist named Li Chaowen in this world.
However, the bolt from the blue suddenly made the head of Wang Ming fall to the ground in an instant. He glanced sideways, squinted his eyes, and looked at the sky with a pale face.
Outside, there were already dark clouds and strong winds.
Obviously, a heavy rain is coming.
Master Wang felt that he was going crazy, and his eyes widened in horror.
It's going to rain.
He suddenly thought of the rain praying in the East Palace.
Countless scenes passed by one in my mind.
His face was bleak, his mouth was white, and his whole body was trembling. Then he thought that just a few days ago, a Taoist from Longquanguan came to the Ministry of Rites and gave him a stack of Ming treasure money.
This treasure note is still in my sleeve.
He held his sleeves hard and said, "This treasure money...
The next moment, he couldn't help but shivered, and then rushed to the public housing of the Ministry of Rites in a hurry.
The Ministry of Rites's official position is not high, but in the Ministry of Rites, he has great power. Not only can he denounce the unreasonable decree given to the Ministry of Rites in the palace, but he also has the power to supervise the various departments of the Ministry of Rites.
The young clerk raised his eyes in confusion, looked at Master Wang panting, frowned slightly, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly. He was about to ask, but he had not spoken yet.
Commander Wang immediately angrily slapped a stack of Ming Dynasty treasure money on the desk for the staff.
"Shameful!" Master Wang cursed righteously.
"The Taoist in Longquan Temple is already so shameful. In order to eliminate dissidents and attack his fellow disciples, the people outside the world sent someone to send money to the official. They wanted to use this to dismiss his junior brother's Taoist ancestry, which was scared!"
As he said that, he couldn't help but look ferocious and gritted his teeth.
"Zhang Chaoxian, a shameless man, is too slouching on me, Wang Ming, who actually thought that with money, he could bribe my official, teach me to be accomplices of the tiger, and do such conscience. Come and see, this is the bribe he sent."
At this time, it seemed that no matter how many people scolded, Wang Ming's tone became vicious.
"My Wang Ming family is a bare-skinned man, and he loves everything. The only thing he doesn't love is wealth. Can silver buy officials in the court? Can silver... be taught to ghosts? He was so confused by his lard that he had already reached the point of being crazy and shameless!"
The young staff member was solemn and looked at the righteous Chief Wang, and couldn't help but admire him.
He cheered up and comforted him with a smile.
"Master Wang, please calm down. If you have any questions, let me tell you in detail from beginning to end."
Commander Wang slapped the desk and blew up, and said coldly.
"I can't tell you in detail, the aura is so great that I am an official. As an official, I follow the principle of a saint. I have always been to keep money thousands of miles away. A Longquan Temple, a 'expert' granted by the imperial court, actually tried to bribe my official. I was so frightened to think about it carefully. This world has been corrupted to such an extent. Look, look, this is a dirty thing, and I am a stolen person. Now I have been caught. I am a shameless and despicable person with him!"
…………
It was heavy rain.
Before Li Chaowen could return to the mountain, news spread that Junior Brother Li was going to be granted the title of real person.
In fact, no matter whether the news is true or false, it doesn’t matter. Now, when it rains, the court will never be stingy with rewards. Longquan Temple is full of honor.
But in this Lu Zu Palace, Zhang Chaoxian spurted out an old blood, and his wrinkled face was completely bloodless, as white as a piece of paper, which was very ugly.
But he was surrounded by many upright junior brothers.
"Senior brother! I can't help it. You do so many evil things in your daily life, making this Longquan Temple messy. The junior brothers dare not speak out. You are arbitrary, but the laws of nature are circulating and retribution is unhappy. We are all practitioners of Taoism. We can tolerate you for a while, but we can't stand it. You said yourself, you have been greedy for so much wealth in our Temple. Don't refuse to admit that you have been practicing the village in Baoding's old house. Where did these silver come from?"
The junior brothers had already understood Zhang Chaoxian's situation at this moment, so they naturally would not be polite to him. Everyone attacked him with a righteous spirit.
"You stole Widow Zhang. I know this. Widow Zhang has no choice but to rely on. The man in the family is dead. You see that you have an opportunity. There are some days to run there every few days."
"How can we practitioners allow such bad sheep? You have also made a few of your nephews in Taoism and eat delicious food and drink spicy food in the sight. Do you think others don't know? I heard them secretly calling you uncle with my own ears."
"Shameless!"
"Pooh!"
For a moment, there were sprays and countless scandals, some were not. Everyone talked, as if they were possessed by the True Lord of Morality, all of which were full of disdain for Zhang Chaoxian.
"We must report to our master and drive this black sheep out of the wall."
"I also heard that he wanted to buy a tunnel and record it, which would hurt our junior brother Chaowen!"
"Things that are worse than dogs!"
Zhang Chaoxian couldn't argue, but felt very upset. He covered his chest and watched his junior brothers surround him. He knew that if he refuted, he would be afraid that he would fight with his fists and feet. The prestige he had accumulated in the past has now been wiped out, so he was shocked and angry, and blood was spewing out like a canopy.
"puff……"
Blood spilled all over the floor and also on his body, soaking his Taoist robe. He looked extremely embarrassed, but no one sympathized with him. He was apart from slaughtering and insulting.
"Senior brother, the life is over."
"You shouldn't stay in our Longquan Temple with dirty tricks."
Zhang Chaoxian could only cover his chest and tremble, but at this moment, a little Taoist priest hurried up the mountain and came to Lu Zu Palace.
"Uncle Chaowen is going up the mountain."
When they heard that junior brother Chaowen was back, the Taoists were overjoyed and did not hold an umbrella. Instead, they rushed to the mountain gate in the rain. The group was like a dripping chicken, but no one cared.
A sedan chair came slowly, and the sedan chair fell. Before Li Chaowen could come out of the sedan chair, a little Taoist priest in the rain opened an oil umbrella and stood in front of the sedan chair, but he had already become a chicken with a soy sauce.
Li Chaowen got out of the sedan chair and took a few steps slowly. The little Taoist priest followed him with an umbrella. Although the rain was heavy, it did not fall on Li Chaowen at all.
The Taoist priests saluted Li Chaowen in a mess in the rain: "I have met my senior brother (brother)......"
Li Chaowen snorted coldly with his hands behind his back, and the corners of his eyes did not fall on them, because he knew that from this moment on, his life had been completely different.
You don’t have to be polite to these senior brothers, junior brothers, and junior nephews.
He looked into the Taoist temple, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said to everyone lightly: "Oh, thank you for your hard work."
The tone is light and lazy.
"Senior Brother..." A Taoist came forward and said with a compliment.
"Please ask your senior brother to climb the mountain. Master is still in peace, but I think I will meet my senior brother soon. And... Zhang Chaoxian, who is worse than dogs, has caused trouble to our Longquan Temple for many years. Now, the matter is exposed, and it still needs to be dealt with by the senior brother... I want to be hungry, in the dining hall..."
Li Chaowen's hand was slowly stretched out, pressed down, and said calmly.
"Okay, I'm not hungry."
In the blink of an eye, the person who usually calls himself a path now calls himself me.
But everyone did not feel any sense of incongruity. At this time, the senior brother Chaowen (brother) had a special majesty, just like Zhang Chaoxian at the time, with admiration and respect in his eyes.
Everyone laughed: "Xiaodao admires it very much..."
"Don't say these flattering words." After Li Chaowen put his hand back on his waist, his voice now became lighter than before. He was slow and gentle, not because he was weak, but because... From now on, even if he was only as big as a mosquito when he spoke, everyone except his master had to listen with his ears.
Because...he...is a man who once called the wind and rain...
He sighed deeply in his heart. It's really different from the past. He curled his lips gently and said to everyone with a smile.
"I am not Zhang Chaoxian, and I don't like to listen to these flattery words. We practitioners should be more indifferent and not secular."
Every word he said was accompanied by the sound of rain, but the brothers and sisters tried their best to hear his words clearly.
After he finished speaking, everyone cheered: "Yes, senior brother (brother) is noble and honest, is indifferent to fame and fortune, saves the people, and is in a profound way. It is better to be a minor path. I admire you, admire..."
Li Chaowen had no expression on his face, and he looked up and spoke indifferently.
"Go up the mountain."
But at this moment.
The sound of horse hooves sounded.
The fast horse was fast, and the Taoists looked at the sound of the horse's hooves.
The person who came was Deng Jian in front of Fang Jifan.
Deng Jian was ordered to convey his young master's order. He was panting, wearing a straw raincoat, and ran on his horse. He arrived outside the mountain gate and turned over and dismounted: "Who is Dao Ren Li? I am ordered by Xin Jianbo, come..."
Xinjianbo...
As soon as he heard the word Xin Jianbo, he was just holding his hands behind his back. Li Chaowen, who was extremely dignified, actually knelt at Deng Jian's feet.
Chapter completed!
