Chapter 430 Refused to worship the Buddha

Chapter 430 Refused to worship the Buddha

On this day, Lu Wang, who had just woken up not long ago, was sitting drowsily in his shoulder chair, heading for the palace.

"Your Highness, please get off the sedan chair."

But as soon as King Lu arrived at the gate of the palace, Jin Yiwei, who was on duty inside, stopped the commander-in-chief, and cupped his hands and said: "According to the regulations, you are not allowed to enter the palace without a favor."

After hearing this, King Lu's face darkened, and then he got out of the sedan chair, but when passing by the commander-in-chief of Jinyiwei, he suddenly kicked the commander-in-chief of Jinyiwei.

The commander-in-chief of Jinyiwei is a veteran of many battles who was transferred from Bianzhen to Jinyiwei, named Wei Bin.

Now under the influence of Zhang Jingxiu's rectification of Jinyiwei, and he has a military medal, he has to be promoted to the commander-in-chief of the internal duty room, and is in charge of the inner court guards in shifts.

And precisely because he was a veteran of hundreds of battles, Wei Bin withstood Lu Wang's kick, only pursed his lips, shook his body slightly, and didn't say much.

"What's the difference between the thing that guards the door of Zhu's house and a dog?"

King Lu himself took a few steps back, but he still sneered, and then went to Queen Mother Li's bedroom with his hands behind his back.

For a while, the maid beside Empress Dowager Li hurriedly opened the curtain and went in to announce the arrival of King Lu, but King Lu stopped her: "Don't worry, Manao, I have something to ask you, how do I ask Queen Mother for you?"

"Your Highness, don't mess around, here are the emperor's people!"

At this time, the female officer next to Queen Mother Li came to remind King Lu.

Only then did King Lu sneer: "Madam misunderstood! Gu was just joking with her. If Gu really wanted her, he would have asked Brother Huang directly for it."

Then, with a disappointed face, Lu Wang came in first and bowed to the outside, saying, "Give me your mother's blessing!"

Empress Dowager Li smiled when she saw King Lu coming, "My son is here!"

Immediately, Empress Dowager Li let King Lu go in, let her sit on the same couch, held him in her arms, rubbed King Lu's crown and asked, "Did you sleep well last night?"

"Thanks to the blessing of the empress, after reading the Buddhist scriptures given by the empress, I sleep well every night."

King Lu replied.

Empress Dowager Li smiled: "That's good, the only thing I'm worried about now is you! After you go out of the palace and live in another place, I can rest assured that you can sleep soundly; in the future, maybe you will have nothing to worry about. "

As soon as King Lu heard this, his expression became gloomy: "I want to spend more time with the queen mother and the emperor's brother."

"How can it be done? The country has a system, and the king of the feudal clan must leave the feudal clan when he is old. If you don't go now, it is already an exception."

"Don't say such stupid things again."

Empress Dowager Li pushed up King Lu and said this.

King Lu gave a "hmm" and got up and said, "Mother, do you know that Buddhist temples all over the world are facing difficulties?"

"What's the problem?"

"Did someone really want your brother to destroy the Buddha?"

Empress Dowager Li asked hurriedly.

"Not at all!"

"Because in the past, the Qingzhang farmland has reduced the temple fields of many Buddhist temples a lot. Now many monks in the world are unable to sustain themselves. Many monks have to return to the vulgar. Many longevity lamps that pray for my Ming Dynasty are not enough oil to light them. !"

King Lu replied.

Empress Dowager Li frowned slightly after hearing this: "Didn't I donate the rent of my own farmland to Buddhist temples all over the world every year? Why aren't they enough?"

"Nowadays, the world is in great order, so there are more masters and Buddhist temples praying for the Ming Dynasty. Naturally, your Zhuangtian, the queen mother, is not enough."

"The main reason is that there are fewer monks. Many Buddhist temples that pray for the country are about to run out of lamp oil and rituals for praying. If there are such a large number of interruptions suddenly, I am afraid that the Bodhisattva will blame them!"

At this point, King Lu said to Empress Dowager Li: "So, what they mean is, can the royal family be exempted from taxes and corvees on all monasteries in the world, so that they can prosper Buddhism and Taoism, and maintain the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty and the people's peace forever?"

"Xu'er, kneel down!"

Empress Dowager Li suddenly frowned and gave orders.

King Lu couldn't help but startled.

Empress Dowager Li became more serious for a while: "Why, don't you even listen to what your mother says?"

King Lu hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to the ground: "My son dare not!"

Only then did Empress Dowager Li look at King Lu, and pointed at him: "You, you, don't you know that your elder brother just let Daming win two big victories in Mobei, plus the previous Dasheng in Ping Burma and conquering Japanese, martial arts Hehe, benefiting the Duke, being kind to Li Shu, can be said to be admired by everyone in the universe, and everyone calls him holy! You still think about letting your mother and queen me interfere with him, do you really think I can keep it forever? What's more, Your aunt has always been dissatisfied with you, especially because you always compare luxury with your imperial brother, and even want to marry like him! If you let her know that it is your idea to let Buddhist temples in the world be exempted from taxation and labor, do you think you can do it? alive?"

"The boy knew it was wrong!"

"The baby has made the mother embarrassing!"

King Lu quickly pursed his lips and said something.

Empress Dowager Li couldn't help feeling distressed when she saw this, and said, "Get up."

"Yes!"

Only then did King Lu stand up.

Empress Dowager Li will still invite him to sit down beside her and say:

"The queen mother also thinks that you will live a better life as the queen of the feudal clan in the future, and take advantage of the big marriage to get more benefits, but that is when you can copy Zhang Juzheng, and use the money copied from Zhang Juzheng's family to make you the queen of the feudal clan to open a shop and start a business." capital!"

"But now, Zhang Juzheng's family has not been copied, and your imperial brother has turned the imperial store into a joint-stock system. The royal family only pays dividends, but the operation is in the hands of the court. If you are rewarded, the courtiers will naturally not do it. Say Affecting the national treasury and damaging the foundation of the country!"

"So, now I can only wrong you a little bit! I have less benefits. I will give you all the farmland that your grandfather and father gave me after a hundred years. This is the only thing I can give you. The rest, Don't even think about it!"

"Your mother and I are only a member of the harem after all. There are many things that I can't talk about. Besides, your brother is already grown up!"

"Yes, my child remembers."

King Lu replied with a look of disappointment.

Empress Dowager Li said again: "Don't blame your brother, he is an emperor who wants to do something, and what he has done is bigger than I imagined!"

"It's really not good for me as a woman to intervene. Over the years, I have also seen that he is not my son alone, he is the monarch of the world, and also your monarch!"

"So, you have to understand that everything in this world belongs to him. What he gives you is yours. If he doesn't give it to you, you can't take it, let alone take it without asking!"

"But not filial to the queen mother!"

"He guards against his mother and me like a thief."

Because Lu Wang was very disappointed, he couldn't help but express his inner opinion.

Empress Dowager Li glanced around in a hurry, and reprimanded in a low voice:

"Don't say that in the future!"

"That's what the emperor is like! The closer you are to the person, the more you have to guard against them. Sometimes even keeping a close eye on them is also a form of protection, to prevent real siblings from killing each other in the future!"

"You were spoiled too much by me since I was a child, so that I really don't know the dignity!"

"Remember, if you want to be loved by the world because you are the emperor's younger brother, then you must love him first. Without the supreme imperial power, you are nothing!"
