Seeing Lao Zhu laughing, Wang Pu, who thought that the flattery he had prepared was just right, was overjoyed and retired with a smug smile.
In the queue of nobles below, Lao Zhu’s good brother Xin Guogong Tang He also reacted, clapped his knees and shouted loudly:
"Ah! I remember! At that time, I was still writing a letter to Your Majesty in Haozhou City. Unexpectedly, you came half a day before the letter was sent out. I was still wondering why the letter was still sent when the war was in chaos. So fast!"
"It turns out that you listened to the old god's advice! Thanks to me, Lao Tang, I am still complacent on weekdays, thinking that you only left Huangjue Temple because of my letter!"
Duke Xinguo was the one who witnessed it at that time. Even if he said this, all the ministers and workers would have no reason not to believe it. Lao Zhu directly gave his brother a look of approval, while Zhu Su was even more speechless.
It's hard to tell at ordinary times, but this alcoholic Uncle Tang has a very quick mind!
Firstly, it can cooperate with Lao Zhu to cover up Lao Zhu's nonsense, and secondly, by the way, it can also eliminate the hidden dangers of the Tang family. The rhetoric that he came up with in such a short period of time succeeded in completely removing the incident recorded in the original history books that Lao Zhu "got soup and invited me to Haozhou".
It is not a good thing to have helped an emperor who was in trouble and to be on top of him!
All the ministers and workers whispered, and no one could think of any more advice. Someone secretly asked Wang Pu, and the proud Wang Pu told the story of the man in yellow more and more vividly, and the ministers believed it more and more.
The historian immediately took out his pen and recorded the incident in Qing History: People who are destined to be destined by fate often have visions. Although the founding emperor of this dynasty also had visions of swallowing elixirs and filling the house with red clouds before and during his birth, they were still slightly inferior to the strange stories of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty beheading a white snake.
Well, now, with the incident of the old man in yellow, the emperor of this dynasty has received his destiny, and there is another layer of strong circumstantial evidence!
"Your Majesty is saying that His Highness King Wu's master is this old man?" Ru Taisu still didn't want to believe it. "But His Highness King Wu is still young and has always lived in a deep palace. When will he have free time again..."
"Why not?" Lao Zhu put his hands behind his back, looking incomprehensible. "Five years ago, the fifth child in our family was sick for several days at a time. Don't you know this?"
"But His Highness the Fifth Prince was ill in bed at that time, how could he..." Ru Taisu was confused.
"Why not?" Lao Zhu raised his eyebrows. "Later, Lao Wu told us that he was taught by the old man in yellow in a dream and has since opened up his spiritual wisdom. Otherwise, how could he be in coma for so many days?"
Oops, the dream-granting machine! Not to mention the courtiers, even Zhu Su was frightened. My heart said, Dad, what are you going to say? You can make up such outrageous things, and you are so pretentious. I can't handle such a big deal!
"Your Highness, is this really true?" Ru Taisu asked, dumbfounded.
"Well...it's true." Zhu Su quickly put on a handsome face and put his hands behind his back like Lao Zhu, with an unpredictable look on his face.
There was another uproar. If it was just suspicion at first, now everyone is sure that the old man in yellow must be an immortal. If you are not an immortal, how can you teach your disciples in dreams?
Some discerning ministers had already begun to congratulate, but after a while, congratulations rang out in Fengtian Palace: "Congratulations to His Highness King Wu, congratulations to His Majesty, and congratulations to the Ming Dynasty!"
Lao Zhu only waved his hand, unable to comment, and his face remained calm. Only Zhu Su, who was close, saw the corners of his mouth that were slightly depressed.
"Since it was taught by gods and men, I think it must be unique. I would like to ask Your Highness, what kind of knowledge did you get from the old man? Can you tell me directly?" Ru Taisu asked. With the emperor's protection, it is no longer possible to continue impeachment. Now I have no choice but to continue to make a fuss about His Highness's own knowledge.
If he can continue to study in the palace, then those rebels who want to cling to him will lose their only possible refuge, and the court and His Highness will be more peaceful.
Everyone thought that His Highness was still young, and no one noticed His Majesty's unusual favor and arrogance towards him. Now that His Majesty has personally come forward to give His Highness such a big name, it is even more difficult to retreat. Ru Taisu felt that he was the first person to sound the alarm, a holy martyr. He almost withstood all the pressure from Lao Zhu and continued to be aggressive towards Zhu Su.
Zhu Su's eyes narrowed. This Ru Yushi's hostility towards him was really inexplicable. He grabbed a heel and couldn't wait to launch an impeachment against himself. Previously, I had clearly not offended this old censor with a reputation for integrity.
Now that even the emperor has gone to save himself, he is still biting him? And all he wants is to be allowed back into the main hall?
For me, I never want to step into the hell of the main hall for a second time, but for this old censor, letting me go back to the main hall should not even be considered a punishment.
Even for officials in the imperial court, it was an extremely lucky and honorable thing to send their nephew to the main hall to accompany him as a student and to be a disciple of the great scholar Song Lian.
If this guy wants to go back to the main hall so much, he doesn't just want to make me sick, right?
"Are you doubting Lao Wu's knowledge?" Lao Zhu looked directly at Ru Taisu with his eyes like daggers.
"I don't dare... I just heard that His Highness made some 'speech' to distort the words of our ancestors..."
"I really can't imagine what profound knowledge His Highness will inherit."
"I still believe that even if you have a different person as your teacher, Your Highness should continue to study in the main hall and learn from the saint's subtle words and great principles." Ru Taisu gritted his teeth.
If His Highness could know how to advance and retreat... Thinking of this, the old man looked at Zhu Su with a touch of anger.
Hearing his sarcasm, Zhu Su was about to retort, but found that Lao Zhu actually took a step forward and stood in front of him to protect him tightly.
"Ru Taisu. You are looking for death!" Lao Zhu's eyes flashed with murderous intent. Ru Taisu looked at Lao Wu's eyes filled with resentment, but he saw it very clearly.
He is the emperor, his words follow the law, and his words make the constitution. There is no such thing as the man in yellow. The moment he says there is, then there is. Even if there are no immortals in this world, the moment he said there are immortals, there must be immortals in this world!
How dare you, a mere vegetarian, say something weird to us here?
How dare you harbor resentment against our son?
Immortal, why!
Lao Zhu was about to teach others to capture Ru Taisu, when a person from the court hurriedly came out:
"Ru Taisu! How courageous are you! Is this what you can do as a minister to secretly speculate and talk about the Heavenly Family?"
"You are the censor and the eyes and ears of the imperial court. If you censors block your eyes and ears and rely solely on guesswork, how will the imperial court act?"
"Your Highness is gifted with talent, and there are signs of it already! Needless to say about the "Linjiang Immortal", don't you hear that Fang Xizhi, the most proud disciple of Duke Song, has also become a disciple of His Highness King Wu?"
"Even the eldest son of Wei Guogong, as well as the three direct descendants of Cao Guogong and King Jingjiang, all studied together with His Highness the King of Wu in Huangzhuang."
"Furthermore, Wei Guogong, Cao Guogong and others once praised His Highness King Wu at the banquet for his superior military skills. Wei Guogong is here at this time. If you don't believe it, you can ask him personally! Why do you despise His Highness!"
