  Chapter 72 Ji

  Bao guessed right in the 30th year of Yongle.

  Something happened in the capital...

  After Tianlong Temple was destroyed, Emperor Yongle began to take action against the temples and Taoist temples in the capital.

  Jinyiwei, Dongchang.

  Like vultures that have been hungry for a long time, they rushed into Taoist temples, large and small, all over the capital.

  No matter how good a monk is.

  Taoist priests as well.

  All were arrested.

  The huge sky prison was crowded with these monks and Taoist priests, and even some charlatans and magicians could not escape the clutches of Jin Yiwei and Dongchang.

  And this...

  is just the beginning.

  In October of the twenty-eighth year of Yongle.

  Emperor Yongle ordered.

  The Great Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Buddha and abandoned the Tao.

  Within the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Taoist temples were not allowed to appear.

  Once discovered, they will be killed without mercy.

  Even private people are not allowed to set up incense rankings and statues without the permission of the court.

  Once discovered, they will be thrown into prison immediately.

  The Great Zhou Dynasty finally launched the policy of exterminating religion and exterminating Buddhism.

  And this will also be the first step in officially declaring war between Da Zhou and the world of cultivators!
  When Ji Bao heard this national order.

  Dragging my bad body to Dali Temple.

  Submitted the matter of offering incense to Eunuch Buqiu... hoping to get permission from the court.

  Dali Temple has no right to decide.

  Especially this involves not fighting for fairness.

  Report it immediately.

  Soon after, an order came from the palace: Yes!
  One word, and Ji Bao breathed a sigh of relief.

  Xue Yuan didn't understand. With the reputation of Eunuch Bu Zheng, and the fact that His Majesty has such a good relationship with Eunuch Bu Zheng... Even if he doesn't report it, nothing will happen, right?
  Why is my father-in-law so anxious? He has to declare it that day.

  Ji Bao explained:
  "In the whole world, is it the land of the king? On the shore of the land, is it the ministers of the king.

  His Majesty ordered the whole country to slaughter Buddhas and destroy Taoism, to ban incense and to stop religion...

  Our Ji family worships Master Chen, so we can really hide it. Living in the imperial court? Can you hide it from the Jin Yiwei?

  The allusion of "walls with ears" is only a few years old. Don't forget it.

  Now Master Chen is still here... Our Ji family has Master Chen's relationship, and Yun'er is now the general of the Zhou Dynasty. .

  Guarding the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty has contributed to the imperial court.

  Your Majesty may be lenient.

  But even so, if we really ignore the imperial decree, the day when our Ji family will die is not far away...

  On which day we will be destroyed by your Majesty, Who can know?

  If you want to live under the emperor's feet, you need to understand the way of choosing and choosing, you also need to have this vision, and you need to let go of certain gestures.

  And...

  our Ji family should not cause trouble for Mr. Chen..."

  The Ji family nodded up and down. .

  Ji Bao just gave up and asked them to leave.

  Looking at the huge Ji family, Ji Bao sighed softly in his heart.

  Over the years, the Ji family has been too successful.

  It goes so well that some people no longer have a sense of crisis. They just feel that the world's affairs cannot fall on them, so they can hang on high.

  Yes...

  after all, his son is a general and deserves the attention of the court.

  The family business has a restaurant, and because of the existence of Laofen liquor, the Ji family has a steady source of wealth.

  And now...he is still there.

  Mr. Chen's good impression of the Ji family is not weak either.

  These naturally became the Ji family's pillars of support.

  But what if I leave?

  Is there anyone in the Ji family who can still keep their true intentions? Do you understand Mr. Chen’s nature of neither fighting nor grabbing?

  Can you make the right choice at the critical moment?
  To be alone?

  Relying on his own son Ji Yun? ?
  He is nothing more than a reckless man.

  It's difficult...

  to rely on his own two grandsons...

  Ji Yi followed Ji Yun in Linzi City, and his character is not yet known.

  As for the eldest grandson Ji Yan...

  Ji Bao shook his head.

  That child is not a stable person either.

  The only one who has the most hope is his eldest daughter-in-law Cen Suzhi.

  But she is just a woman after all.

  Sometimes, there are things that she can't change.

  "I hope this body can last for a few more years..."

  he murmured.

  Looking towards the west of the city:
  "Master Chen is in seclusion, and I don't know when he will be able to come out. I should still have a chance to see Master Chen, right?"

  "I hope..."

  ...

  the 29th year of Yongle.

  The Great Zhou eradication of religion...the killing of gods and Taoism has been going on for some time.

  From the beginning it was just near the capital.

  Eventually it spread to all parts of the country.

  The government and the public were uneasy, and the people were filled with resentment.

  And this series of national policies.

  It finally caused a backlash. The Yellow Turban Sect has existed for a long time, even longer than the White Lotus Sect.

  In these countless years, they have had their own fanatical believers in all states of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

  Now that the imperial court wants to destroy their sect, it is equivalent to ending their fight for incense.

  How could they endure it?
  then.

  Starting from the land of Yuzhou,
  the Yellow Turban Sect raised the banner of rebellion.

  They shouted: Cang Tian is dead, Huang Tian should stand...

  and occupied the land of Yuzhou in the fastest time.

  at the same time!

  Flowers bloom everywhere in the world.

  In less than a month, he defeated Kyushu!
  The world is shocked!

  It was only then that Emperor Yongle discovered that the sect in the Great Zhou Dynasty had reached such a terrifying level.

  But...

  Emperor Yongle was not afraid.

  He ordered Huo Cunlin to lead an army to attack the Yellow Turban Sect.

  Dazhou set off a civil war that should not have happened...

  No one knows why Emperor Yongle insisted on launching a war to exterminate the religion.

  Zhang Weizheng united with hundreds of officials to request Emperor Yongle to take back his life.

  But Emperor Yongle turned a blind eye... At the same time, he dismissed Zhang Weizheng from his position as prime minister and ordered him to retire and return to his hometown.

  When Zhang Weizheng left, it was obvious that he seemed to have aged more than ten years for a moment.

  He doesn't understand.

  Your Majesty, who has always been wise, why has he changed so much now?
  Of course...

  no one can explain it to him.

  ...

  thirty years of Yongle.

  The crusade against the Yellow Turban Sect has lasted for a year.

  But Dazhou didn't have much of an advantage.

  The Yellow Turbans are weird.

  Especially the believers who used talismans, as if they were not afraid of life and death, caused huge losses to Yu Dazhou.

  The war has reached a stalemate!

  …

  March of the 30th year of Yongle.

  Jin Yiwei captured a Taoist priest deep in the mountains.

  The Taoist priest presented a jade slip.

  No one knew what was inside this jade slip...

  but Emperor Yongle was overjoyed.

  He used the resources of the Great Zhou Dynasty, as well as the commander of the Jinyi Guards, the governor of Dongchang and several other acquired experts, to unite with the Taoist priest and cooperate with a huge amount of resources.

  In a short period of time, he successfully entered the ranks of first-class masters.

  June of the 30th year of Yongle.

  Emperor Yongle went to court.

  It can be clearly discovered that Emperor Yongle at this moment has swept away all the fatigue from the past.

  My physical condition has returned to that of ten years ago.

  All the officials were shocked.

  I don’t know how your Majesty did it.

  You know, the imperial doctor said that Emperor Yongle could not hold on much longer.

  Now it seems that this will not be a problem in a few decades.

  At the same time...

  rumors began to appear in the capital.

  Now His Majesty may have found the art of immortality...

  but the news disappeared not long after it appeared.

  I heard that the Jinyi Weidong Factory was dispatched that day and arrested many people.

  So...

  no one dared to discuss this matter anymore.

  ...

  in the west courtyard of the city.

  The front of the court was still spotless.

  Chen Luo has been in seclusion for two years, but people from the Ji family have always come to pay their respects every day.

  Although I can't enter the house.

  But the door in front of the court was kept spotless.

  In the past two years, Chen Luo has gained quite a lot...

  In the twenty-ninth year of Yongle, he had already entered the second level of Qi training.

  Not only that.

  The Tai Chi Heart Sutra has evolved into a thorough mind method for cultivating immortality.

  It is different from the current way of incense.

  This is a pure method of cultivating the mind of immortality...

  cultivation of the mind.

  Slim.

  More self-cultivation.

  Chen Luo's unique cultivation method finally slowly unfolded and was displayed at his feet...

  Of course.

  There are greater gains.

  The first month of the 30th year of Yongle.

  He was watching the snow in the courtyard and felt something...
