Zhu Bai said: "Each temple should record the status of all the ordination monks in the temple over the years and report it to the imperial court. The imperial court will compile and publish the list of monks across the country and send it to the temple. In the future, traveling monks will come with ordination certificates.
The temple will know as soon as they check the roster. If it is not on the roster, it is fake. If it does not match the description in the ultimatum or the roster, it is also fake. If a real monk does evil, the punishment will be doubled and will not be tolerated."
Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard and murmured to himself: "Not bad. This is indeed possible."
Officials can investigate boldly.
It can basically prevent people from pretending to be monks and do bad things, and it can also catch out those drunkard monks who are hiding in the temple.
Don't wrongly accuse a monk, and don't spare a bad person.
Zhu Bai gritted his teeth and said, "My father ordered people to surround the temple early this morning. The monks wandering outside must have stayed up all night. Monks who don't go around the temple chanting Buddha's prayers and eating fast are definitely not good people. The most important thing now is,
Let the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division close their doors and arrest people!"
These fake monks actually deceived the prince, who else wouldn’t dare to deceive him?!
It's so courageous.
Zhu Yuanzhang said to Erhu: "Did you hear that? Go and do it quickly."
Zhu Bai said: "Father, the Holy Ming, since we want to arrest people in the whole city, it is better to let the Nancheng Army Commander perform meritorious service. Although Qian Du's incompetence in command is really hateful, but it is excusable. Don't say that he is a low-ranking person.
Officer, even if I meet those monks, don’t I have to consider whether I can arrest them?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's lion-like eyes stared at Zhu Bai.
Zhu Bai chuckled: "After all, my father has a lot of face."
Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath and said: "You little bastard, please calm down. Not everyone can be saved."
Zhu Bai saluted: "I know it. I am just relying on my father's love and willfulness. My father is wise and powerful, and naturally he understands the affairs of the court better than I."
Zhu Yuanzhang had a lump in his throat.
You could say that this kid is ignorant, but he always pokes at his old father's weaknesses, and the methods he comes up with are really good.
You could say he's sensible, but he wants to get involved in everything. He just rolls around and makes trouble when he doesn't get what he wants. He's just a naughty kid.
Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at Liu Bowen and asked Zhu Bai: "Well, you won't be guaranteed this time."
Zhu Bai spread his hands and said, "I wish you would execute him so that you don't have to learn all those messy things from him."
Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes: "Kill him, and of course someone will teach you."
Zhu Bai sighed: "Actually, I can't see the benefit of Mr. Liu instructing the monk to expend so much effort to do these things. It must be that the monk is dragging people into the water randomly in order to get away with it. I can see that,
You can definitely tell that he is as wise and wise as my father. Moreover, Mr. Liu is an important minister of the country and the teacher of the emperor. If my father can even spare the people from the Army and Horses Division, he will naturally not kill him easily."
In fact, if you have to say that this matter is good for Liu Bowen, it is correct.
For example, Lao Zhu was reminded not to rely too much on monks, and it was time to regulate and rectify monks.
For example, let Zhu Yuanzhang stop the kings from joining the vassal state.
So it is entirely possible that Liu Bowen was behind it.
But he wanted to protect Liu Bowen, and his interests were consistent with Liu Bowen in some aspects, so he had no choice but to make peace with him.
Zhu Yuanzhang was silent.
Indeed, except for the last random words of the monk, there is no other evidence to prove that it is related to Liu Bowen.
If we kill Liu Bowen based on this, it is inevitable that someone will come out and say that I am using the topic to kill the loyal officials who have remonstrated.
Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth and said to Liu Bowen: "Get up. I don't think you are afraid. I guess I have long predicted that I can't kill you." There was a hint of anger in his tone.
Liu Bowen kowtowed, stood up and said: "The emperor wants to kill Wei Chen. It's just a matter of words. The reason why Wei Chen is not panicked is because he knows that the emperor is a wise and good emperor. Wei Chen's two apprentices are both first-class and loyal."
A person who has the best of both worlds.”
Zhu Yuanzhang felt very comfortable being flattered, and his mood suddenly improved, and he said to Erhu: "I ordered the city gate to be closed, and the five-city army and horse department to arrest the monks who were not in the temple. After questioning, if there is any counterfeit, they will be sent to the Ministry of Punishment for punishment according to the law. Temporarily put it aside
The people from the Nancheng Army and Horses Division released him and told them that this time it was the prince who interceded for him and asked them to accept their guilt and perform meritorious service."
Damn it, I was obviously talking about favors just now, Lao Zhu, what do you mean by counting favors on Zhu Biao?!
You don't have to be so shameless to win over Zhu Biao!
Zhu Bai pursed his lips and took a deep breath.
Forget it, forget it, the human heart is of no use to me anyway, it doesn't matter.
Zhu Yuanzhang thought that if he was so obviously partial, Zhu Bai would definitely make trouble, and then he would pretend to appease him.
The main reason is that he has been too good to Zhu Bai recently and is afraid that Zhu Biao will be unhappy, so he has to be partial.
As a result, Zhu Bai did not respond...
He raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhu Bai.
Zhu Bai suddenly realized that he was too generous if he didn't resist, and they would doubt him, so he immediately said: "Father, my son was frightened yesterday, and I don't have a few hundred taels to comfort him. I won't be able to go to the Army and Horse Department in the future.
"
You'd better get out of here. Otherwise, it will cost you hundreds of taels of silver just to open your mouth. The emperor's family cannot afford to be so fussy.
After Zhu Yuanzhang finished cursing in his heart, he pretended not to hear Zhu Bai's words and said to the others: "Okay, this matter is over. Just go ahead and do what you are supposed to do."
Zhu Bai was too busy and left.
However, Liu Bowen did not move. He saluted Zhu Yuanzhang again and said, "Aren't you curious about who responded to the monk's words?"
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned: "What's there to know? A fake monk."
In fact, the authenticity of the monk is no longer important.
He said that the monk was fake, that is, he was fake.
Liu Bowen knelt down and said, "I speak out boldly and ask for atonement from the emperor."
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted: "Don't you usually just say what you want? You still want my permission today? It's really strange."
Liu Bowen said: "If the emperor does not atone for his sins, I dare not say anything. This matter is too important."
Zhu Yuanzhang: "Say, I won't kill you a second time today."
Liu Bowen: "Actually, on that day, I paid a visit to all the princes. Except for His Royal Highness, King Yan's head was shrouded in purple air, giving him the appearance of an emperor."
These two things obviously have nothing to do with each other.
But put together, they are enough to arouse Lao Zhu's suspicion and have fatal lethality.
If Zhu Di has an imperial spirit and the desire to rise from king to "emperor", then he will be a huge threat to Zhu Biao.
He believed that even though Zhu Yuanzhang wanted a bowl of water to be balanced, he would still abandon other children without hesitation when encountering something that would harm the imperial power.
In fact, he didn't know who agreed with the monk in the end. The reason why he said this was that among the princes Zhu Yuanzhang planned to send to conquer the vassal this year, Zhu Di was the greatest threat.
Because Zhu Di has no constraints from his mother's family, he has the resourcefulness and will, and now he has Xu Da's support, which makes him even more powerful.
