Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

This also happens to be in line with the characteristics of literati. Even if they don't understand the matter, they can still make up a convincing story.

But this group of literati can only be considered moderate. In comparison, some other literati's practices are much more radical.

These people gathered in groups at the local government office, united to submit a letter to the people, forcing officials to report to the court.

Many of the books were written with blood as ink and were submitted by respected elders, which almost scared the officials to death.

Even the capital city was not spared. A large number of scholars and literati gathered together and blocked the gate of the imperial palace.

Upon receiving the news, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately rushed to the gatehouse of the imperial palace with all the civil and military officials.

At this moment, the smile on Zhu Yuanzhang's lips was harder to suppress than a Gatling gun, but when he saw the crowds of scholars under the gatehouse.

He had to suppress the corners of his mouth with great difficulty and show an expression of grief and indignation.

"I also know what happened in Qufu. I feel as much sorrow as you do for what happened to the Duke of Yansheng's Mansion."

"The Yanshenggong Mansion has been passed down for thousands of years, yet now it has been massacred and even exterminated by those traitors of the White Lotus Sect. Such evil deeds are intolerable to heaven!"

"If we don't kill these evil thieves, how can we restore order to the world? This time, I will completely wipe out the White Lotus Sect."

Having said that, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.

"Convey my decree and order Lan Yu to go directly to Shandong and search for any trace of the White Lotus rebels along the way. Don't let a single one go."

"Also, all garrisons in Shandong must obey orders and fully cooperate with Lan Yu in suppressing the rebels. However, anyone who disobeys orders will be executed without mercy!"

After hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, the scholars and literati below the gate tower finally calmed down a little.

Afterwards, no one knew who took the lead, but all the scholars and literati knelt in front of the door and shouted "Long live the Ming Dynasty".

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang not only solved the problem of gathering literati, but also won the hearts of a wave of scholars.

The result was that the curve of his mouth corners became even bigger, and he almost couldn't suppress it. In his heart, he praised Wei Wu to the sky.

And those scholars and literati all dispersed satisfied because they received Zhu Yuanzhang's promise.

Lan Yu is a very famous person, and his past achievements are enough to satisfy these people.

It’s a pity that they didn’t know that Zhu Yuanzhang’s purpose of sending Lan Yu to Shandong was not to suppress the White Lotus Sect.

After all, the six big families in Shandong still need the White Lotus Sect to deal with them, so that the prince can implement the land-based tax system.

The reason why Lan Yu was sent there was just to provide better cooperation so that the White Lotus Sect could successfully deal with the six major families.

In the game of cat and mouse, when both sides are in the same camp, it is just a show performed for others.

At that time, the White Lotus Sect only needs to give some false clues, and then Lan Yu will take it seriously and rush over with his army.

During the time when he failed, the White Lotus Sect could at least eliminate two aristocratic families. This method only needs to be used twice.

After all six great families were wiped out, Lan Yu led his troops to kill all the believers for the third time. Perfect!

Of course, Lan Yu, as the main general, must be held accountable for the several failures that led to the destruction of the six major families.

But it would be okay for Lan Yu to take the blame, because he is a die-hard princeling.

As long as the prince is not dead, Lan Yu will not die. Now he takes the blame and helps the prince to settle the issue of the land tax.

I will naturally remember his kindness in the future. When the prince ascends the throne, benefits will be waiting for you!

After returning from the gate tower, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately sent someone to call Lan Yu to Fengxian Hall.

"Lan Yu, do you know what you are going to do when you go to Shandong this time?"

When Lan Yu heard Zhu Yuanzhang's question, he immediately knelt on one knee.

"Your Majesty, Lan Yu understands and will help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince remove obstacles and ensure the smooth implementation of the land tax system."

"As long as the six great families are not destroyed, the White Lotus Sect will not be destroyed. The day the six great families are exterminated will be the day the White Lotus Sect rebels surrender!"

Hearing Lan Yu's answer, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction, obviously he had been reminded.

"We have already arranged for the Imperial Guard to go to the White Lotus Sect. Marquis Changle will make arrangements to transfer the control power."

"Once you arrive in Shandong, the Imperial Guard will naturally contact you. You will then make your own arrangements on how to proceed."

"I won't say anything else to you. Just work hard. When the prince ascends the throne, he will need the assistance of you, the prince's party!"

After hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, Lan Yu felt very complicated!

He really wanted to eat the cake in the picture, and he was also willing from the bottom of his heart to see the prince ascend the throne.

It’s just that the emperor directly called them the Prince’s Party as soon as he opened his mouth. Although it was true, it was too scary to say it openly.

Forming a clique for personal gain is a big taboo in the court, let alone under the emperor's nose.

Fortunately, the crown prince of the Hongwu Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty was different from that of other dynasties. Even if he really formed a party, he did not have to worry about being suspected by the emperor.

It should be said that the emperor would like to have as many prince's followers as possible, and the more capable the followers are, the happier the emperor will be.

After listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's instructions, Lan Yu immediately left the palace and prepared to go to Shandong.

On the other side, Wei Wu had already brought all the White Lotus Sect members back to Rencheng.

However, after returning, he did not let these believers go home, but asked everyone to gather in the hall.

Originally, the believers wanted to go home and rest, so they lived and ate on the boat in Qufu during this period.

It can be said that they can't eat or sleep well. It's a rare opportunity for them to come home and have a good rest.

But Wei Wu just said one sentence, which made them stop missing home and stay very enthusiastically.

Although these people are believers, Wei Wu knows very well that for human beings, it is not enough to be bound by faith alone.

Except for fanatical believers, other believers need to be given tangible benefits in addition to faith.

Therefore, in addition to faith, we must also add benefits and the miracles that Wei Wu once demonstrated.

These three things are tied together, and even if there are some sober believers among them, they will still be willing to be controlled by him.

So, when the believers gathered in the hall, Wei Wu only said one sentence.

"This time, we have eliminated the cancer of the Kong family and saved countless people in Qufu. This is a great act of kindness with immeasurable merit."

"So I have decided to give the ill-gotten gains seized from the Kong family to those of you who have done good deeds. This is the reward for kindness and justice!"

Many of the believers present had participated in the looting operation and naturally knew that a large amount of wealth would be harvested this time.

But they didn't expect that the Lord God would be willing to reward them with these riches.

In excitement, they all knelt on the ground and shouted "Long live the messenger of God" to Wei Wu.

At this time, Wei Wu spoke again.

"However, even though the cancer has been eradicated, there are still millions of people living in dire straits. This pains me deeply!!"
