On July 15th, early in the morning, many Taoists gathered outside Daming Gate, including a few monks with white eyebrows and beards. Since they were not courtiers, the city defense soldiers guarding the gate did not let them in at all.

.

These Taoists and monks gathered together, vaguely showing various factions. If people who practice Taoism and Zen in the world saw this scene, they would probably exclaim, what a big wave of hermit masters.

Normally, these masters rarely show up and only practice in their own caves. Unexpectedly, this time the emperor's ambiguous words caused a wave of revelations among the top figures in the religious world.

Zhang Xianyong, the headmaster of Longhu Mountain who had an ugly appearance last time, was also there. Looking at this grand scene, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. He just passed the news to a few familiar Taoists, but in the end, the whole world was shocked.

You know, a few old monks even came.

Zhang Xianyong glanced at the white-bearded monks who looked like old gods, and his face became even more ugly. If he had known this, he wouldn't have even informed those comrades. If there was anything to discuss, Longhushan would take charge of it.

Just fine.

But if this is the case, Zhu Youxiao will probably have to repair Zhang Xianyong. His plan is obviously beyond the reach of the Longhushan family.

The people present were all old foxes. The situation was unclear at the moment. They themselves would not say much. The whole scene maintained a strange silence, which was better than the discipline of officials during the great court meeting.

Although they have been practicing Qing Dynasty for many years, they have not damaged their brains. Instead, they have become more aware of the world and are good at human relations. Although the words from Zhang Xianyong in Longhu Mountain were simple, the information revealed was unusual.

The emperor wants to carry out religious reform, how exactly should he change it? Why only Taoism was notified? What about Buddhism? Did Zhang Xianyong say something? Or is this another new attempt to promote Taoism and destroy Buddhism? They are full of excitement about this Zhongyuan Ghost Festival

Got doubts.

In the Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Youxiao had just finished his morning exercise and was having breakfast. Liu Ruoyu was beside him, reporting on the situation outside the Ming Dynasty Gate.

"Oh, there are actually a few monks here. Zhang Xianyong's words can be leaked. At such an old age, I don't know how he became the head monk." Zhu Youxiao shook his head and lowered his head to drink porridge.

If Zhang Xianyong heard the emperor's arrangement, he would probably spit out a mouthful of blood. Can this be blamed on him? Wasn't it because he panicked and wanted to find several channels to discuss it, but who would have thought that this news would actually spread.

All over the world.

"Originally, I wanted to give them an opportunity for Taoism to prosper, but I didn't expect that if they don't grasp it well, they won't be able to survive alone." Zhu Youxiao said vaguely while eating breakfast.

"Long live the Lord, how about I drive those great monks away?" Liu Ruoyu saw that the emperor seemed to be a little unkind to those monks, so he quickly stepped forward to help his master solve his problems.

"No need, since I'm here, it's fate. It seems that fate has destined that the bad relationship between Buddhism and Taoism will continue like this." Zhu Youxiao said with a bit of gloating. It doesn't matter if Buddhism comes in. Under the catfish effect, Taoism may return.

Will work harder.

"Bring them all in, just go to..." Zhu Youxiao frowned, he really didn't expect where to meet them.

"Let's go to Taiye Pond!" After thinking about it, he decided to go to Zhongnanhai. It has a beautiful environment and countless natural scenery, which is perfect for meeting these people from this world.

"Yes, I'll go right away, slave." Liu Ruoyu responded.

As time goes by, the sun gradually rises and the sun shines on the earth.

On both sides of the corridor behind the Daming Gate are the central agencies of the Ming Empire, including the six ministries, the Zongren Mansion, the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, the Jinyiwei and other agencies. However, with Zhu Youxiao's reforms, this place soon also

Become unrecognizable.

A group of monks stood at the gate of Daming Dynasty. It was very strange. The clerks who passed by looked at it curiously. They didn't know why there was a group of strange people standing here.

When Liu Ruoyu came out to receive the people, they suddenly realized that it was His Majesty who wanted to receive them. But why did His Majesty meet a group of Taoists and monks? Could it be that His Majesty also wanted to seek the art of immortality?

The old events of Jiajing in the previous dynasty made these people quickly come up with a possibility.

Ignoring these petty officials who were full of random thoughts, Liu Ruoyu led a group of Taoist robes of different colors into the Forbidden City. Along the way, they passed Daming Gate and Chengtian Gate (today's Anmen). Behind Chengtian Gate, some people stopped.

The carriage, this is to carry them to Taiye Pond.

Along the way, these Taoists and monks reacted in different ways. Some looked around with gleaming eyes; some pinched their fingers and muttered words in their mouths; and some crossed their legs with their eyes closed, carefully comprehending, and so on.

"It is worthy of being the center of the world, the place where fortunes converge. The energy of the dragon vein is really strong." A group of people nodded in praise.

"It's really strange. There are secret rumors that the Zhu Ming royal family has been in decline. Why has it reversed its decline now and seems to be rising up and spreading its power over the world?" Another man looked around with an expression.

Quite confused.

Another person's face showed horror, "The imperial palace is the most obscene and dangerous place in the world. Even if there is luck to suppress it, it can't hide the gloomy atmosphere. How can it be like the thunder of nine days sweeping across, full of light, masculine and holy atmosphere? What on earth is it?"

Who has done something that is clearly dirty here?"

"That's it. Looking at the three main halls from a distance, the auspicious air is auspicious and the qi is like the stamen of a flower. It is a prosperous scene that is about to bloom. It is completely different from the previous chaotic times when demons appeared in the world and wreaked havoc on the world." A man with a gray beard, dragging his hair.

The elder monk was also full of surprise and looked in the direction of the three main halls in disbelief.

"I really want to see the panoramic view on Meishan Mountain!" Another person sighed. The current inspection is just a blind man touching the elephant, and the view is not true. If you can go to Meishan Mountain to enjoy the panoramic view, you will be able to see more.

thing.

However, this is unlikely. Without a good relationship, how could the emperor let them go?

At the end of the Wanli period, the mountain gates of all avenues were closed, and the temples were closed, in order not to involve the Ming Dynasty court. These masters all practiced the law, and they had seen from various clues that the Ming Dynasty was in decline and was seriously ill.

The texture has become terminally ill.

The change of dynasties is the last thing these outsiders want to be involved in. The cause and effect are too great and there are too many variables. If you are not careful, you will be in catastrophe and the mountain gate will be destroyed.

Therefore, when the dynasty prospered, they were willing to go out to serve. At the end of the dynasty, they also tacitly guarded the gates of the mountain. This was a practice that had been established for thousands of years.

It's just that today's words of change made these people a little bit unable to sit still. The emperor in the final period is also an emperor. His every word, every move, and every move can have an amazing impact. Since he wants to see people all over the world

If Taoist disciples don’t go, they don’t know what kind of disaster will happen.

Especially in the last days of this dynasty, when fortunes were changing, they had to be even more cautious. Therefore, they did not want to put down their Qingxiu, and they all gathered in the capital on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month.

But now when they arrived at the residence of the Zhu Ming royal family, they saw a completely different scene, which made them extremely shocked and worried about this visit.

Except for the emperor, no one else can cause such a shocking result. He can single-handedly reverse the fate of Zhu Ming. Even the stars in the sky can only do this. Of course, there is actually another possibility. In the emperor's case,

There is a capable person beside him, and with his help, Zhu Ming's luck is good.

However, judging from various rumors in the capital, this possibility is too small, and the luck of the Forbidden City also proves this phenomenon.

With anxiety in their hearts, this large group of people came to Taiye Pond and got off at Yingtai. In the center of the peninsula, there was a bright yellow figure, which must be the emperor.

"The poor monk (poor monk) comes to see my emperor, long live my emperor." When they met, their attitude became more respectful, and they felt more awe than before.

Different from how other people see the emperor, in the eyes of these truly skilled practitioners, Zhu Youxiao's current state has simply blinded their eyes. The sight of the nine dragons surrounding him and the five qi rising towards the Yuan Dynasty is simply too dense.

None of them look like the king of the last days. His aura is as profound as the famous founding kings recorded in the classics passed down through the ages.

Could it be that he was another emperor like Taizong of the Tang Dynasty? They compared them with the founders of the Tang Dynasty recorded in the classics, but they were horrified to find that no matter in which aspect, there was no country that was inferior to him today.

This discovery simply made them tremble with excitement. They knew that they had caught up with a good time. If they grasped it well, their lineage would definitely prosper.

"Damn it, if I had known this, I wouldn't have spread the news all over the world." However, in this case, there was a Taoist whose mouth twitched and a look of regret in his eyes. It was he who spread the news delivered by Zhang Xianyong to the entire religious world.

"Everyone is equal." Seeing these people being so respectful, Zhu Youxiao also nodded with satisfaction. It seems that his prestige is still very high. With one order, they all came, and there was no need to establish prestige by himself. Of course.

, he didn’t know that these people could see so many things in just such a moment of kneeling and worshiping.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." These worldly experts stood up one after another and applied for respect. They did not have the indifferent and lofty mentality they had when they first came to the capital.

Afterwards, the serving maids came to check the water, snacks and futon cases. Everyone in the palace knew that His Majesty did not like eunuchs to serve around him. Therefore, except for the old people who had followed him in Ciqing Palace, there were no new eunuchs who could come to the Dharma's eye.

, surrounded by some palace maids.

Soon, with the busy work of the palace maids wearing flowers and butterflies, the venue was arranged. The people present, including the few monks, were only about twenty people. The pavilion on Yingtai was more than enough to accommodate them. At this time, they

Each person has a futon and a table in front of him, sitting cross-legged.
