Chapter 149 Meeting Hai Rui for the first time! Lao Zhu’s son is perverted!
Originally, it was Lao Zhu after class today.
On the way to the site selection site of the Royal Tiangong Institute with A Biao.
This piece of land is right on the edge of the imperial city, next to the river and backed by mountains. It is an absolute treasure of Feng Shui.
The Royal Tiangong Institute is now the undisputed number one construction project of the Hongwu Dynasty. If you want land, give land, and if you want money, give money.
The emperor even personally ordered the Ministry of Works to complete the first phase of construction of Tiangongyuan within one quarter.
Sitting on the dragon boat, Lao Zhu suddenly thought of a question, that is, how will his twenty-six sons live in the future? After all, Lao Zhu is a good father who attaches great importance to the education of his children.
In Lao Zhu's opinion, under his own education and under the shining of his brilliance, each of these brats will surely become outstanding among men.
At least, that’s what Lao Zhu thinks.
Just as he was thinking about it, Lao Zhu planned to find time to ask his brother Master Ji.
Suddenly, the wind chime rang around my waist.
Since his brother called him, Lao Zhu certainly did not hesitate and answered the call decisively.
When he came in response to the call of the wind chime, when he saw the scene in front of him clearly, especially when he saw Zhu Zaijing, his brows furrowed.
With Lao Zhu’s sophistication, how could he not know what happened?
"Lao Zhu, I'll leave him to you."
Ji Boying patted Lao Zhu on the shoulder.
"Let him sweat."
Glancing at Zhu Zaijing.
This guy is about to be burned by the fire.
Ji Boying couldn't help but think of Zhu Zaijing's title when he was a prince, King Yu, King Yu. Don't be too precise with the title.
At this moment, if Zhu Zaijing does not vent his anger, he will probably explode.
There are two ways to vent your anger.
The first is to rely on these seven Hu Ji.
The second type relies on Lao Zhu.
Of course, the methods of the orchids and the great ancestor are naturally different.
The Orchids relied on pinching, while Lao Zhu relied on beating.
Let Zhu Zaijing bleed some and sweat a little, and naturally the anger in his body will dissipate.
"Yeah."
Lao Zhu nodded with a dark face.
It just so happened that he was carrying a mace.
Because of his recent habit of attending classes, Lao Zhu has become accustomed to always keeping a mace by his side no matter where he is.
Wherever Taizu is, he will always be accompanied by wolf fangs.
Even when they went to court, a mace was placed next to the throne, scaring all the ministers so hard that they didn't dare to breathe.
Holding the mace in his hand, Lao Zhu walked towards Zhu Zaijing.
"Tai, Tai, Taizu!"
"I, I am your eighth generation grandson!"
Zhu Zaijing subconsciously turned around to run away, but Lao Zhu was already chasing him with the mace in his hand.
‘Bang’.
The seven charming orchids beside the dragon were so frightened that they all screamed and ran away.
"You keep an eye here to avoid any accidents."
Ji Boying warned the Jiajing Immortal that Lao Zhu's attack was neither light nor heavy. If he was disabled, it would be another problem.
Seeing Lao Zhu appearing with a mace, the Jiajing Immortal looked very ugly. He was also afraid!
Jiajing was afraid that Taizu would go crazy after a while, so he also gave him a few hammers.
But Master spoke, so I had to obey.
"Ah!"
A scream came from Zhu Zaijing.
Immortal Jiajing looked over subconsciously, and the corners of his eyes twitched when he saw it, it was so cruel!
Continuously.
"Master, can you give me one or two protective weapons for my disciples?"
In the opinion of Jiajing Immortal, it is just a good opportunity to gather some wool, and the master will not give himself nothing.
Protective weapon?
Ji Boying glanced at the Jiajing Immortal.
Think for a moment.
Raising his hand, a palm-sized round iron box of red and khaki appeared in the palm of his hand. There were incomprehensible runes on the surface of the iron box.
"This thing is called "One Qi Baizhang Jue". When you are in trouble, open this box against the wind. With you as the center, no one within a hundred feet dares to approach."
"If the situation becomes uncontrollable, you open this box."
Following the spirit of an immortal, Ji Boying handed the iron box to Jiajing, then turned around and left.
He still has someone to meet.
Hai Rui, Hai Qingtian.
Swish.
Ji Boying's figure disappeared on the spot.
The moment Jiajing Immortal received this box of "One Qi Bai Zhang Jue", he was instantly excited!
‘Immortal weapon!’
‘This is an immortal weapon!’
Immortal Jiajing could even imagine how radiant it would be when his Taoist robes fluttered in the wind and started this "a hundred-foot-long breath" moment.
‘No one dares to come close within a hundred feet.’
‘It’s so powerful and terrifying!’
Take a deep breath.
Immortal Jiajing looked at the round iron box carefully.
‘It looks ordinary on the outside, but it seems that this is the legendary return to nature.’
‘The path of immortality is ethereal, and the great road has no edge. The more mysterious things are, the more simple and unpretentious they are.’
Staring at the runes on the iron box, Jiajing Immortal memorized their appearance one by one and imprinted them on Zhihong's mind.
‘These runes must be the magic spells that activate the magic weapon.’
‘If this emperor can study and practice it and integrate it into his heart, he will definitely benefit greatly.’
Immortal Jiajing stared at such a small iron box, studying it in fascination.
As for Zhu Zaijing, who is currently dominated by Lao Zhu's mace and is trapped in fear and despair, he is no longer within the concern of the Jiajing Immortal.
Xiu Xian and his biological son.
Which is more important?
Jiajing: Do you still need to ask this? Whenever this emperor frowns, it is disrespectful to the Xuanqing Jiaohua Tianzun!
…………………………
Hainan, Qiongshan.
It was quiet at night, with only a few insects chirping occasionally.
In a simple dilapidated old house, an old man with gray hair was sitting alone under the old locust tree in the courtyard, using needle and thread to mend the holes in his clothes.
The most upright official and the most upright minister of the Ming Dynasty were hailed by the people as Hai Rui and Hai Gangfeng of Hai Qing Tian.
Hai Rui's life was wonderful, but also miserable.
You can definitely write a miserable life.
As of the fifth year of Longqing, Haigangfeng has married three wives, taken one concubine, and given birth to two sons.
And in the forty-fifth year of Jiajing, that was the year when Hai Rui carried a coffin and wrote the "Public Security Book", scolded the Jiajing gods until they were all bruised, and was finally imprisoned and almost hanged.
His two sons died one after another.
As for his three wives, the first two were divorced due to conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
The third Wang family died suddenly in the second year of Longqing. What was so strange that it became a mystery to later generations was that just eleven days after Wang's death, Hai Rui's concubine Han also committed suicide at home.
Died.
Nowadays, Haigang Peak can be described as lonely and widowed.
One person plus an old servant live in this leaky old house.
"Hai Rui."
The wind blew, and a voice sounded calmly in this dilapidated house.
The words fell.
Hai Rui raised his head subconsciously, and what caught his eye was a man in strange clothes, and he couldn't help but feel doubts in his eyes.
Who is this person?
Where did it come from?
Why are you here?
"Your Excellency is..."
"You don't have to worry about who I am."
"I just ask you one question."
Ji Boying calmly stared at the gray-haired old man in front of him, Hai Qingtian, who had a high reputation among the people of the Ming Dynasty.
When Hai Rui came to Yingtian to take office, the people of Yingtian created a spectacle of empty streets to see Hai Qingtian.
There are even old farmers who have walked hundreds of miles from other places just to take a look at Hai Qingtian’s true face.
No matter how future generations evaluate Hai Rui, whether they praise or smear him.
In Ji Boying's view, if Haigangfeng can do this and become a person who is respected by the people of the world and a person who makes the people of the world feel at ease, then he is a truly good official.
At this moment, Hai Rui didn't look at all flustered when facing this unknown person.
His intuition told him that the person coming was an unusual person and he did not mean any harm.
After all, I am very poor, so the robber who robbed me must have some mental problems.
Putting down his hands to mend his clothes, Hai Rui stood up, bowed and saluted.
"Your Excellency, please speak."
Ji Boying stared at Haigang Peak.
This Hai Qingtian studied under Gu Kejiu, a well-known spiritual scholar. He regarded Wang Yangming as the most holy teacher. He practiced the unity of knowledge and action to the extreme. He had an upright character and was strict and upright. He asked for orders for the people and treated the powerful.
He has always struck hard without mercy.
Back then, even if it was the land under the name of Xu Jiexu, who had saved his life, he would retreat at any time without giving any face. When he cursed the Jiajing Immortal, he just carried it on the coffin. The main focus was just one person.
Not afraid of death.
Hai Rui's name has directly become a lifeline for the powerful.
So in the third year of Longqing, when Hai Rui was ordered to governor Yingtian, the powerful people in South Zhili fled. A large number of corrupt officials simply resigned. When the powerful people heard that Hai Gangfeng was coming, they all painted red paint
The doors were all painted black, and Quan Huan was supervising the weaving in Jiangnan. When he saw Hai Rui coming, he didn't even dare to sit in the luxurious carriage.
Of course, it is precisely because of this character.
Hai Qingtian was ostracized in the officialdom and had never been an official in the capital in his entire life. This was very similar to Wang Yangming.
But there is one difference. Wang Yangming is just feared, not unsuitable. After all, Mr. Yangming possesses the necessary qualities of an outstanding chief assistant: scheming.
But Hai Gangfeng is different. In essence, Hai Rui is not suitable to enter the center of power.
Too rigid and easy to break.
It is not good for the country and not good for oneself.
Hai Qingtian is more suitable to be an executive in the local area, a sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of the powerful.
"If you are given the power to purge the merchants and nobles along the coast, can you do it, serve the country impartially, plead for the people, and bring peace to the world?"
Hearing this, Hai Qingtian looked startled at first.
Then take a deep breath.
"I am a minister of the Ming Dynasty. I have been favored by the country in this life, and it is my duty to repay the country with my death."
"I want to get rid of the powerful and powerful people in the world and the common people as soon as possible!"
Ji Boying raised his hand slightly and patted Hai Rui's shoulder.
"In that case, pack your bags."
‘Luggage?’
Hai Rui was stunned.
"From today onwards, Governor You, all the areas along the five coasts of the Ming Dynasty are under your jurisdiction."
"You have only one purpose in taking office this time, which is to crack down on the powerful and evil businessmen, and restore peace to the world."
There are two capitals and thirteen provinces in the Ming Dynasty. Except for North Zhili where the emperor's army is located, those close to the sea include Shandong, South Zhili, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong.
Good guy, Hai Qingtian became the governor of the five borders at once. The largest local governor since the founding of the Ming Dynasty was born.
Even Hai Qingtian was confused after hearing this.
It wasn't that he was surprised by the high official position. In Hai Rui's opinion, all officials, big and small, were the same. They all followed the same path to get into office. They just had to be reckless and energetic.
The main reason is that Hai Rui wanted to ask more clearly, whether this is true or not.
I have been promoted so many times, but I have never been promoted like this.
An inexplicable visitor, with a touch of lip service, becomes the Governor of the Five Sides?
"I know what your concerns are."
Ji Boying finished speaking.
Swish.
Beside him, a figure appeared.
It was the Jiajing Immortal who was studying the iron box intently.
Pat.
It should be due to Haigangfeng's character that he was frightened and stepped back, his pupils shrinking sharply.
Although he is not a Beijing official, he has also met the Jiajing Immortal.
With a plop, he fell to his knees.
"The late emperor...!"
The eyes turned red instantly, and tears started to flow.
This is really not an act.
In the forty-fifth year of Jiajing's reign, Hai Qingtian was imprisoned by Jiajing and was about to be hanged. He only saved his life because of Xu Jie's efforts. When he heard the news of the death of Jiajing Immortal, Hai Qingtian burst into mourning and cried even for several seconds.
I was so sad that I vomited during dinner.
Immortal Jiajing, who was devoted both physically and mentally to the study of magical weapons, was stunned. He didn't even recognize Mr. Hai Rui, who was mourning for him in front of him.
After all, in the thirty-first year of Jiajing, Hai Qingtian was still struggling to learn.
"Now, do you still have concerns?"
Ji Boying looked at Hai Rui.
"One thing I want to tell you in advance is that when you take office this time, Gao Gong will be your direct superior. I hope you can work well with him and get things done together."
On the dispute between Gao Gong and Hai Rui.
In the first year of Longqing, Xu Jie was impeached by the imperial censor. Hai Rui wrote a letter to speak out for Xu Jie. By the way, Gao Gong was used as a negative teaching material and scolded, which made Mr. Gao very angry.
In fact, Hai Rui has no intention of taking sides. He always discusses matters based on the facts, and of course, only what he can see.
In the third year of Longqing's reign, after Gao Gong borrowed Hai Rui's knife to cut off Xu Jie's blood, he found an excuse to transfer Hai Rui's official position and threw him into the idle pile. Hai Rui was a hard worker and received a free salary. It is better to leave hometown and return home.
Immortal Jiajing also reacted at this moment and coughed twice.
"Everything follows the instructions of the Immortal Master."
"You should encourage me."
One word.
Hai Qingtian, unable to cry, bowed his head and bowed.
"My lord, I sincerely abide by the late emperor's orders!"
When Hai Qingtian finished kowtowing and raised his head again, the two people in front of him had disappeared.
……………………
Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.
When Ji Boying came back with the Jiajing Immortal, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.
This is a bit too harsh.
After all, I am of your Zhu family’s blood, so I really don’t show any kindness at all.
I saw poor Longqing Emperor Zhu Zaijing curled up on the ground with blood all over his head. Lao Zhu was holding a mace in one hand and kicking him one after another.
The fire has almost vented.
Most of the people are useless.
"Didn't I ask you to stare?"
Ji Boying glanced at the Jiajing Immortal beside him.
This is your biological son!
Immortal Jiajing smiled awkwardly and shrank his neck. He had just been concentrating on the study of magical weapons, so he could not care about his son.
"Brother, you are back."
Lao Zhu was probably tired from the fight, so he caught a glimpse of Ji Boying appearing from the corner of his eye, and then he stopped moving and walked towards Ji Boying with a smile.
"Yeah."
Ji Boying nodded.
"Did you hit too much?"
Zhu Zaijing, who was lying on the ground, was twitching and even convulsed.
"If you don't fight, you won't be successful. After fighting this time, you won't dare to do it again."
Lao Zhu doesn’t care much about Zhu Zaijing’s situation.
By the way, I glanced at Jiajing.
"I can't be a father, so I, the great ancestor, have to step in."
Immortal Jiajing immediately nodded and bowed, probably he had never been so flattering in his life.
"What Taizu said is that if you work for Taizu, Taizu will work hard, and Taizu will be mighty."
Ji Boying frowned.
"Zhu Houcong, please stay in this time and space for half a day to ensure that Zhu Zaijing is safe before going back."
All six of Longqing's cabinets were old men from the Jiajing Dynasty.
Zhu Houcong's old face can be painted freely in Longqing time and space without worrying about anything happening.
"I will obey my teacher's orders!"
After saying this, Ji Boying and Lao Zhu disappeared on the spot.
………………………
Hongwu time and space, Zuixian Tower.
The chirping of cicadas in midsummer is endless.
When Ji Boying and Lao Zhu came back, they were surprised to find that A Biao was waiting at the door of the elegant room at the top of the pavilion. It seemed that he had been waiting for some time.
"Biao'er, why are you here?"
Lao Zhu said in surprise. In Lao Zhu's impression, A Biao should have already gone to inspect the site of Tiangongyuan.
"Back to my father, I saw my father's silver bell ringing and leaving. It must have been summoned by the immortal master. You and the immortal master must be at Zuixian Pavilion when you return, so you came here in advance to wait."
"Didn't my father say before that he wanted to ask the immortal master about the future situation of the emperor's younger brothers?"
"My son also wants to know."
Ji Boying glanced at A Biao and smiled at the top student.
"Come in and sit down."
The three of them entered and sat down at the tea table by the window. The summer heat wave blew in from the window.
‘It’s a pity that we can only realize food. It would be great if we could realize air conditioning.’
‘No way, there’s no electricity these days.’
My mind wandered for a few seconds.
Then, Ji Boying clicked on the table, and three cups of tea appeared.
"Lao Zhu, do you want to know what your son's future will be like?"
"Well, brother, please speak frankly."
Lao Zhu nodded.
As a father, it is human nature to care about the future of your sons.
During this period of time, Lao Zhu's eyes have been on his eldest son Zhu Biao and his fourth son Zhu Di, but he has forgotten all the other sons.
In Lao Zhu's view, he is so wise and powerful, his eldest son Abiao is also a saint king, and his fourth son is not bad at all. His sons, such as his second son Zhu Ping and third son Zhu Xi, are not bad at all.
Where to go.
"Are you sure?"
"Brother, we are sure!"
A moment of silence.
Ji Boying acted like a magician and had an extra bottle of quick-acting Jiuxin Pills in his hand.
Prepare the medicine first.
"Just watch."
As soon as the words fell, the surrounding scene suddenly changed.
"First of all, it's your second son, King Qin Zhu Xiang."
