There is a secluded house in the palace city that is a bit isolated from the world. There are no glazed tiles, no red lacquered doors, and no golden brick paving. The overall style is more like a private house, which looks out of place in this magnificent palace.

It seems like a cold palace, but the emperor only has a few wives. There is no such thing as the so-called cold palace. This is the residence of Empress Dowager Lu.

A meditation hall.

Empress Dowager Lu is a traditional Chinese woman. The characteristics of Chinese women were particularly prominent after Emperor Xingzong Zhu Biao died. Zhu Yunwen became the grandson, so she prayed day and night, hoping that her son would succeed to the throne with few disasters and difficulties.

When Zhu Yunwen became emperor, she would never look for the so-called sense of existence in the Ming Dynasty political arena. She seemed to no longer exist. She was engaging in grandchildren and copying Buddhist scriptures every day, which was the entire life of Lu.

Until, she never had the chance to see her grandson and son again.

This almost cold-blooded and ruthless old age life was extremely miserable for a traditional Chinese woman and her mother, and indirectly led to the beginning of cliff-like aging of Lu's body.

Even in Suli, every three or five days, Zhu Yunwen would always come here to see Mr. Lu to pay tribute, and sometimes he would have a meal with him, but he rarely talked. It was difficult for the mother and son to find common topics. One talked about the purity of the six senses, while the other had too deep obsessions.

Naturally, it is the root of dispute.

Today, Zhu Yunwen came here with a clear goal.

"My son wants to demolish Xiayun Temple."

The straightforward announcement was not tactful or too much of a turnaround attitude.

"If my son wants my mother to go to the incense, she can say to the host there and let them cooperate with the arrangements of the officials of the Ministry of Rites and not want to engage in confrontation. The court will not make concessions. No one is qualified to make concessions. The final result of the confrontation must be that the He Temple is razed to the ground."

Lu's hands trembled slightly, she stopped closing her eyes and silently, showing anger for the first time in her life. She said tactfully at her son and the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

"Impossible, as long as I'm still alive for one day, you can't demolish Xiayun Temple."

After taking a breath, Lu's tone became weaker again, and even begged.

"I haven't had a few years of life. Can't you wait until I die before doing this? They just recite a scripture, not to be ignorant of the world, and even adopted and raised so many abandoned children. It is a place for good deeds. Why do you have to leave no room for anything?"

"There are more than 176,000 monks in the country with only documents!"

Zhu Yunwen reported an astronomical number: "My deeds in Buddhism have never denied it, but this kind of good deed is for individuals and is evil to the country. If you let it go, more and more monks will be good for the country? Is it a good thing for the world?

You always say that the Buddha does not fight or fight, and the six senses are pure, but is this the case for everyone who worships the Buddha?

If all Buddhist monks were like this, there would be no other place in the Ming Dynasty. My grandfather was just a monk, and he could conquer the world even if he put down the Buddhist scriptures.

It can be seen that as long as the power in the hand is sufficient, the ambition can be used to swallow the Buddha.

You know Longxing Temple. There are more than a thousand monks and tens of thousands of acres of fertile land in this temple alone. It only took more than twenty years to expand from nothing to this number, and it is still growing. In a few decades, scabies will become tumors.

There are so many temples in the world that are being renovated, but only Longxing Temple and Xiayun Temple will not move. At that time, the world will criticize you and the court will lose all its face. No matter what considerations are based on, it will not be possible to demolish it."

Mrs. Lu couldn't say that Zhu Yunwen, and she never expected to talk about her son from a major perspective, but she had her own persistence.

"Since you have made up your mind, come and ask me what to do, go, go and do it!"

Looking at the shaking body of Lu, Zhu Yunwen subconsciously felt a tightening heart. He hurriedly stepped forward to support him, but was pushed away.

"At that time, you ordered Wenkui to not allow him to approach me. For so many years, every child of you, except for Tingting, has never had the chance to see any grandson again. You have been cruel for so many years, but still care about the life and death of an old woman.

I was blind. I told your father and grandpa all the good things you said to you and let you inherit the orthodox position. You should be a concubine son, and you should be a concubine son for the rest of your life!”

"My mother is right."

Zhu Yunwen was not even angry at all, but said with great approval: "If the Yuan Concubine Chang had not died of guilt, of course, what is said to the outside world are all about death. Will a woman who is more than 30 years old in her prime and thirty years old die of illness?

Isn't it because she was Chang Yuchun's daughter, and was implicated by his elder brother and was guilty of treason. She was a woman, and she was unarmed and could she use to rebel?

She died, you were promoted to the right, and I benefited from you, became the legitimate son and the grandson. At that time, why didn’t you say that the Chang family was wronged and grandfather was cruel?

You should abdicate and give in to the wise, but your father is not just a concubine. You should be humble and show the virtue of a good daughter-in-law in front of your grandfather. I will be a concubine son all my life, so that's all my life.

Emperor, haha, do you really think I really want to be this emperor? No!

I have a family, a courtyard, a child and a daughter. I really want to be this shit emperor!”

Is the emperor talking nonsense?

Shuangxi thought Zhu Yunwen was confused, so he quickly stepped forward to caress his back: "The Empress Dowager calmed down. Your Majesty has been working hard for state affairs recently. It is hard to rest. The affairs of the state are full of troubles, and it is really not easy for Your Majesty to do it."

"Yes, he is the emperor, he has the final say in the world."

Mrs. Lu sneered a few times. She knew that she had known this strange Zhu Yunwen had never been her son.

I hid too deeply. When I didn't sit in the Fengtian Palace, I never showed my true face to the world.

"I can't take it as his home. Didn't he want to destroy Xiayun Temple? Do you want to kill someone? Let him go."

After throwing this sentence, Lü turned around and left, leaving simply and decisively.

I know my own body best. As long as she was alive before Xiayun Temple was demolished, this matter would become a stain on Zhu Yunwen's lifelong life.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Shuangxi felt Zhu Yunwen's body trembling, and she was so scared that she called out several times.

"I'm fine."

Taking a deep breath, Zhu Yunwen lifted the robe and knelt down in the direction where Lu Shi left. He smashed three heavy punches, got up, and blood beads oozing out of the cracked forehead.

"I ordered Longxing Temple and Xiayun Temple to disperse all monks within seven days and destroy all documents. Do not keep more than twenty people. One more person will be destroyed. The Buddha and burn the temple, and the presidency will ask for the beheading."

The country's pace of progress will never stop for anyone, nor will the wheel of history stop rolling because of a stone.

"The emperor is not a country, the country is the emperor, and the will of the emperor has never been the will of the country. Only the will of the country is the will of the emperor."

It is for the benefit of the country that the will of the country must demolish these two temples. Therefore, in the face of the will of the country, Zhu Yunwen cannot be a filial son, and his behavior must be dominated by the will of the country.

Of course, he can certainly have the emperor, that is, the country, and the orders will be changed every day.

The first five-year plan can also be overturned and thrown into the dust of the country's credibility.

Zhu Yunwen had no choice, or he had already made a choice before he came to find the Empress Dowager.

The emperor decided to use an indescribable tough attitude to remove Longxing Temple and Xiayun Temple, and the work of the cabinet was much simpler.

The local military garrison inspection team broke into the two temples with a knife and began to measure the land and wealth.

In the temple with the six pure roots, there are not talk about incense money or merit silver. The wealth accumulated over the years is tens of thousands of taels. This figure may not be anything to the current Ming Dynasty, but it is a real money saved by escaping the country's taxes.

A thousand-mile dike was destroyed in an ant hole.

Anything that may shake the country's roots, no matter how small it is, its nature is equivalent to endangering national security!

The country has no taxes and finances collapse.

Then the country was destroyed, and in the chaos, tax evasion also died, which means that there was no end to the nest under the collapse of the nest.

It is normal for tax evasioners to see that their own interests can only be seen, but tax collectors do not pay attention to it, which is dangerous.

The hosts of Longxing Temple and Xiayun Temple were quite tough at first, and they refused to accept such rough treatment. The former even took out the iron certificates of alchemy left by Taizu when he returned to Fengyang ancestral land to sacrifice to prove his sacred and inviolable status. However, the commander of the army should kowtow and kowtow, and he still drew his sword when he stood up.

"A group of bald men dare to pull the banner of Taizu and dominate the world. They will be punished with great rebellion and be killed!"

The iron voucher of the alchemy book was invited to Nanjing and worshipped under the portrait of Taizu of Fengxian Hall. This is not the first iron voucher of the alchemy book that the court has successively recovered in recent years.

From Zong Xun's great fortune in the national crisis to the corruption case reported by Quanzhou Maritime Transportation Department, many iron pledges with the function of "Gold Medal of Immunity for Death" have been taken back in recent years.

"Before the national law, there will be no alchemy certificates, and there will never be any in the future."

Seeing the court's firm attitude, the two major temples did not have the courage to "If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?" They honestly accepted the orders, dispersed the monks, returned the land, and never dared to talk about their so-called political background again.

But the decline of Xiayun Temple, or Zhu Yunwen's attitude, still stimulated the Lü family. The latter's tone was accumulated in his heart, which directly caused serious illness and was in a state of trauma.

At this moment, the imperial physicians in the palace were completely panicked.

The little eunuch in charge of daily life in the Imperial Front Office deleted and modified the part that Zhu Yunwen had looked for Lu a few days ago. Xie Jin also went to the palace overnight to ask for a meeting and talked about this part.

"How to write historical books?"

Daily notes can be changed. Eunuchs are not historians. They have a nonsense principle, but what should the historians do?

As the editor-in-chief of literary works, Xie Jin is now in a state of nobility.

Historical books are narrative techniques and cannot have a subjective attitude. They do not analyze the pros and cons of the articles like the cabinet that makes a report and write them accordingly. Anyone can see that it is the emperor who disobeys the Queen Mother's wishes, which leads to the latter's anger and heartbreak and cannot get sick.

If it is more serious, it will be a life.

"Write it according to the truth."

Zhu Yunwen copied out the original daily notes and threw them on the ground, with a cold face: "I am not afraid of being scolded by future generations. No matter how much I like, I can't hear it anyway. Besides, are there too few people scolding me behind my back in recent years?

Wu Xun cursed first, Wu Xun cursed the clan after scolding, then the landlords cursed, officials cursed, and even merchants cursed.

In this world, except for the common people and the soldiers, there are no ones who don’t scold me behind my back. I have a hard backbone and a thick-skinned face, so I am not afraid of them slapping them.”

Xie Jin picked up the daily life note and his hands were shaking.

The emperor is crazy and dares to say anything.

"Taizu respected Empress Gao back then and said that he should establish the country with filial piety. Therefore, he treated and supported Ding You well, believing that no one could stand filial piety, and filial piety was the first priority for all virtues.

It seems that as long as a person is filial, everything he does is right. On the contrary, if a person is unfilial, everything he does is wrong.

I am unfilial, so everything I do in the future will be wrong. Since that is the case, I will just go all the way to the dark side and make mistakes just as wrong.”

At worst, you can just curse the tyrant monarch for the ages, or at worst you can be scolded ashes. Zhu Yunwen was so angry that he could be "dirty" to the end.

"You go to the Hanlin Academy to write an article signed by me, and then hand it over to the Tongzheng Department for polishing it and then send it to the Qiushi newspaper. The general idea is that the time for Dingyou is changed from a hundred days to thirty days in the future. Anyone who wants to be a filial son can resign and go home to take care of his filial son. Those who are sick in the high hall can ask for leave to take care of him, but those who are not reinstated for more than thirty days will no longer retain their position. If you want to be an official, you will take a retake of the exam!"
