Zhu Yuanzhang, who commanded the wind and rain, lived a long and arduous life.

"Oh?"

Zhu Changye raised an eyebrow and smiled faintly, "It's quite thoughtful that there are still such generous pilgrims these days."

at the moment.

The Ming Dynasty is still suffering from disasters. Although it started raining the day before yesterday, the rain will not be effective immediately and will take time to produce results.

The disciples of Tianyun Temple bowed and accepted the order, then slowly departed.

"The City God has appeared? The City God has been in that place for decades, when has he ever appeared? There used to be few worshippers, but recently there has been money to expand Tianyun Temple. What else could it be but someone backing it up? And those who provide funding usually value a good reputation and need the recipient to disclose their identity, but Tianyun Temple has not! The person behind it must be someone of low status."

Zhou Dexing took a deep breath and continued, "Tell me about the matter I asked you to instruct the Taoist priests of Tianyun Temple. Did you instruct them?"

Similar rumors circulated everywhere, and as time went by, people were gradually persuaded.

it is good.

In the past few days, Zhu Xiong Ying has only stayed at Tianyun Temple for a short time, usually only a few hours each time before leaving.

"Afraid of your senior brother?"

Zhu Xiong Ying spoke again.

Zhu Xiong Ying laughed and said, "Grandpa, isn't this what Master called me? He told me to come back early."

It allows one to truly know the world without leaving home.

"After worshipping the City God, the worshipper left some gold as an offering and then left."

"And another thing, Yao Yao doesn't have any money, boohoo, Grandpa, please give Yao Yao some money to buy some delicious food so that I can give it to my senior brother, okay?"

Zhu Changye could understand this, after all, he had heard from Zhu Xiong Ying that the Empress Dowager had woken up, and he needed to spend more time with Empress Ma.

Zhou Dexing smacked his lips, patted Zhou Ji's shoulder, and said with satisfaction, "You did a great job! The two of us are absolutely impeccable!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Changye laughed and said, "Yaoyao, why are you hiding so far away?"

Zhou Dexing's lips twitched, and he suddenly slapped Zhou Ji on the head.

These days lasted for a long time until Grandpa took him away and things got better.

When Zhu Yuanzhang first ascended the throne, he was very eager to find the golden seal in order to consolidate and secure his position. He wanted to use it to tell the world that he was the one destined for the throne.

Zhu Xiong Ying rolled her eyes: "Grandpa, I already said it's definitely true, why would I lie to you?"

Everything will be alright as long as Father comes back.

"Yaoyao, would you like this candy?"

The little one took the candy from Zhu Changye's hand and immediately tore open the packaging: "Great-Grandpa, this candy is so big, do you want some? Yao Yao will break it open for you."

I then noticed that compared to when he went out this morning, Da Sun was wearing a string of gold bracelets.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ji froze on the spot.

Zhou Ji finally understood and exclaimed with wide eyes, "Father, you're so smart!"

“….”

But now that we've secured our positions, whether or not we have this golden seal is irrelevant.

Jiang Huan, the deputy commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard in charge of this matter, was kneeling on one knee and shook his head, saying, "Your Majesty, not yet."

good….

He always showed boundless tolerance, even towards his own great-granddaughter.

.

…….….….….….

the other side.

"this…."

Although the Taoist priests at Tianyun Temple were refined and otherworldly, Zhou Ji believed that even if they were refined and otherworldly, they would still keep a piece of gold with them, or at the very least, find a place to display it, rather than sell it.

Keep walking forward.

Zhou Ji composed himself and nodded, saying, "I have hinted to that Taoist priest many times that this gold is an ancestral treasure. Our family prospered because of the gold. Now, as the last descendant, I am terminally ill and can only send the gold back to the gods."

One day, she happened to pass by her neighbor's house and overheard him teaching his child, saying that she was a curse that caused the death of her parents, and that if she continued to play with her, her family would also be cursed to death.

After delivering the Imperial Seal, Zhou Ji returned to his residence.

Loyalty is not only for women, but also, in this era, for the monarch and for one's family!

Zhu Yao started to act coquettishly.

The abbot always has a magical ability to know things that others do not know.

"Even if they can't hear it, as long as the momentum is built up, the Embroidered Uniform Guard will bring back news to the old man."

Zhu Changye laughed and said, "It's too sweet, Grandpa can't eat it."

Zhu Changye said with a smile.

"Oh? The Tianyun Temple has a private collection of the Imperial Seal of the State?"

This famous saying is used to describe someone as intelligent, and it's an exaggeration, but he and the other disciples of Tianyun Temple believed that their abbot deserved such an honor.

Jiang Huan thought for a moment and said seriously, "This matter is too flawless overall. I believe that someone is plotting behind the scenes, and they are extremely clear about the methods and procedures of my Embroidered Uniform Guard!"

Zhu Changye closed his eyes.

Zhu Changye changed the subject.

Since that incident, Zhu Yao has been traumatized.

But ever since her father died, the neighborhood kids have stopped playing with her.

Zhu Changye smiled and said, "Okay, no problem."

His presence signifies that he is the emperor destined by heaven.

Zhu Changye understood.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

When ordinary people are struggling, the overall environment is unfavorable, and the framework is weak, it will also affect those at the top.

Those children all listen to their parents.

Thus, Zhu Xiong Ying came to have this string of gold bracelets, and everyone in Tianyun Temple had a gold bracelet.

Such situations were already commonplace at the nearby Tianyun Temple.

Zhou Ji hurriedly said, "Father, I'll find someone to spread rumors! I work in the palace and know that the old man values ​​these folk rumors the most, so he'll definitely hear about them."

Endless anticipation.

Given his current status, to put it bluntly, even if the golden seal is real, he can claim it's fake, and even if he forges a fake one, he can claim it's real.

"Actually, my senior brother doesn't like these overly sweet things, so I just left them here."

Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed.

The disciples of Tianyun Temple gave a wry smile and returned to their original positions.

"Huh? Dad, what are you doing?"

The disciples of Tianyun Temple bowed and replied, "Reporting to the Abbot, they have already left."

"Huh? Ah!" Zhu Yuanzhang exclaimed twice.

Who dares to question it? Who dares to refute it?

Hu Huaiyong was his predecessor who dared to question and refute!

That person will surely follow in Hu Huaiyong's footsteps.

The Imperial Seal of the State…

This thing is indeed precious, but its symbolic meaning outweighs its practical significance.

Still don't know what you did wrong?!

Zhou Dexing's fiery temper flared up again, but he quickly took a deep breath to calm himself down.

She hadn't acted coquettishly in a long time—months? Or years? But when facing her great-grandfather, she always instinctively wanted to act coquettishly, and this time, she actually did it.

After a short while, his eyes lit up: "Go find some people from the underworld and have them spread the word."

The disciples of Tianyun Temple asked directly.

Jiang Huan accepted the order and slowly took his leave.

The final decision was to dissolve it.

When her father was alive, she played very well with the neighbor's children. They would often get together to steal fruit to eat or play in the water.

Anyway, gold doesn't change weight no matter how much it's melted. Melting it and turning it into other things can bring good fortune to your descendants, which is much better than leaving it lying around.

If we give it to Chongba, Tianyun Temple will be placed in a strange position. Is it true, as the rumors say, that Tianyun Temple received funding from the Yuan court, which is why it had the money to expand and acquire the Imperial Seal?

But if they don't give it to Chongba, it's not good to keep it around. It's something that emperors use, but it's too hot for Taoists to handle, and the same goes for Zhu Changye.

The little guy was hiding in the corner, peeking out his two little eyes to secretly observe him.

"Wow, great-grandfather! That was given to Yao Yao by my senior brother!"

The disciple of Tianyun Temple smiled helplessly, then took out a beautifully packaged candy from his pocket and placed it on the table next to him.

"What about others?"

Zhu Yao responded in a childish voice.

Zhou Ji grinned and said with heartache, "Give it to Tianyun Temple as a tribute."

Zhu Changye nodded: "Indeed, this piece of gold... well, it certainly has an extraordinary origin."

After a long pause, he sneered, "Interesting. Plotting behind the scenes, plotting against our father, you've got some nerve!"

right now,

My thoughts wander to distant horizons.

In fact, Zhou Dexing believed in ghosts and gods, but in this particular case, he believed in ghosts and gods only when he drew a very good fortune stick, and he did not believe in ghosts and gods when he drew a very bad fortune stick.

"I understand. Let me take a look."

Zhou Ji was in so much pain that he kept wiping away tears.

Clearly, Tianyun Temple is not included in this list.

“A few days ago, when I helped Master Liu find his horse, he wanted to give me gold and silver, but I refused. Seeing that Master Liu was so insistent on giving gifts, I simply accepted a piece of candy as a return gift.”

"Huh? Why is there a candy here?"

"With your pig brain, it's no wonder you only hold a nominal position in the palace. Humph! If it weren't for our family's connections, and you had an ordinary background, you'd probably be destined to be a farmer for the rest of your life."

Now the disciples of Tianyun Temple understood: their junior sister was watching them because she saw the abbot's eyes were closed and feared he might harm him.

"Where did the rumors start? Have you caught the source?"

"Have it!"

Zhu Changye asked.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't take this matter to heart, not even the Imperial Seal of the State.

Zhu Changye stood with his hands behind his back, shaking his head helplessly as he walked: "People always like to scheming and plotting."

When the Yuan dynasty conquered Dadu (Beijing), he ordered people to search for this imperial seal for a long time, but they could not find it. Some people said it was lost by the Yuan people, while others said it was taken away. There were many different theories.

Zhu Yao's eyes sparkled with anticipation: "I want to~ But Grandpa, do you want some? If you do, Yao Yao won't take it from you."

"You said it yourself, the Embroidered Uniform Guard will relay the message back to the old man. So, will they arrest the instigator?"

23.95.41.67

Know the world without leaving home.

“If it were ordinary gold, it wouldn’t be a problem, and there would be no need to alarm you. But this gold… is not ordinary.”

"And the one I drew was... the worst possible lot."

"Master has also crafted something for you, but I don't know if you'll like it. If you don't, just tell me and I'll take it back to Master."

I still have to listen to my father's arrangements.

"It's changed...it's a different slip of paper."

The disciples of Tianyun Temple thought that when the abbot opened his eyes again, he would know what the gold looked like; that was for sure.

“These Jianghu people have always loved freedom and most of them are homeless. They can leave Yingtian Prefecture without any worries. Let them spread the word. Once they have spread the word and left Yingtian Prefecture, even the Embroidered Uniform Guard will not be able to find their trace.”

Zhou Dexing's eyelids twitched, then he solemnly said, "Don't worry about petty gains. What does it matter if it's a bad omen? Ghosts and gods are the most unreliable things."

Zhou Ji nodded: "Father, I understand, I'll go right away!"

.

….…….….….….

Time passed slowly.

He's getting old, so he's prone to making wild guesses and overthinking.

"What, you want to be the next Lü Ben?"

A few days ago, Zhu Changye figured out where this thing came from, but he didn't know how to deal with it.
