Wang Shouren didn't mention becoming a Taoist priest again, but his enthusiasm for Longhu Mountain did not diminish at all.

Listening to others and telling others, in a short time, I was able to discuss the truth with Zhang Yuanqing.

Fortunately, there was Li Qing, otherwise, if he didn't get beaten, he would have been blasted down.

Li Qing did not stop Wang Shouren's thirst for knowledge and desire to talk. Since he wanted to learn, let him learn well. It was not a bad thing anyway.

Except for special days, Longhu Mountain does not prohibit meat. Li Qing, the senior disciple of Wudang Mountain, has a great reputation and eats and drinks all day long.

The spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, and the scenery on the mountain is pleasant. Living with these Taoist priests all day long, getting up early, going to bed early, listening to the sermons of the Heavenly Master and Li Qing, is boring but leisurely.

In the mountains, every day was meaningless, but just like that, Zhu Jianshen's mood changed greatly.

He became calm, no longer stubborn or persistent.

Li Qing saw this and couldn't help but feel relieved. The main purpose of his coming to Longhu Mountain was to make Zhu Jianshen think more openly.

People, what they live for is their mentality.

Especially people like Zhu Jianshen. He once had too much and was envied by everyone, but he didn't know that having too much was not a good thing.

It will cause people to fall into great internal friction.

Zhu Jianshen is already in his forties, but he has always been in the game, how can he be a bystander?

It is true that he is smart and capable, but the more so, the deeper he sinks.

Zhu Jianshen did a lot and did it very well. Li Qing didn't want him to worry about it anymore.

Now Li Qing only has one idea, let Zhu Jianshen live and live well. This is his reward for his previous efforts!

Zhu Jianshen's mentality is getting better and better, and his physical condition is recovering quickly. Although he is not as healthy as Li Hong, he has barely recovered the physical functions he should have for his age.

The leisurely life passed quickly, and before I knew it, it was late March and the beginning of summer was about to begin.

At this time, Wang Shouren always remembered that there was another major event in his life to be done.

My fiancée has been waiting for half a year and can’t delay any longer.

"Sir, Xiaosheng is going to Nanchang." Wang Shouren said goodbye.

You should leave quickly... Zhang Yuanqing wished he could leave quickly. This guy was a master of leverage, but he couldn't defeat him. If it wasn't for Li Qing's sake, he would have chased them away.

Unexpectedly, Li Qing said: "In that case, let's go together."

Zhang Yuanqing persuaded him, "You might as well stay a few days longer, Taoist friend Li. I have some spiritual matters that I would like to ask you for advice."

"This..." Li Qing thought for a moment and said, "Let's do this. I'll come again next year, and we can have a good exchange by then."

These days, people are eating, drinking and entertaining, so Li Qing shouldn't be too ruthless.

It's just that Zhu Jianshen can't leave the capital for a long time, and living in the mountains all the time is not a problem. Besides, Zhu Jianshen has calmed down, and there is no need to waste any more time.

Li Qing smiled and said: "You don't know something, fellow Taoist. Xiao Wang is going to get married. This important event in life cannot be delayed. I made a promise to his father, and I ask fellow Taoist Zhang for your forgiveness."

After Zhang Yuanqing heard this, he didn't want to try to persuade her to stay. He bowed and said with a smile, "Then we'll make an appointment. You and I will get together again next year."

"Well, okay." Li Qing returned the greeting, "Goodbye."

"Fellow Daoist Li, walk slowly."

"Sir, can I discuss something with you?" Wang Shouren said as he drove the carriage.

"What's going on?"

"Aren't you a Taoist priest from Wudang Mountain? Well...can you write a letter of recommendation for me..."

"Pa~!"

"Oh... Your Majesty, do you listen to me and finish it?"

Zhu Jianshen snorted coldly: "Stop this idea, I won't let you become a Taoist priest."

"I don't want to be a Taoist priest, so I just keep a name." Wang Shouren said aggrievedly, "While preparing for the provincial examination, I can also learn Taoism by the way. Isn't this okay?"

"no!"

Zhu Jianshen was decisive and indifferent, "How can you do good things with half your heart? You have read so many sages' books but don't want to serve the court. What kind of Taoist priest can you be?"

Mencius said: If you are poor, you can benefit yourself; if you are rich, you can help the world;

Li Qing is also a Taoist priest, but if he stayed on the mountain all day, how could the Ming Dynasty..."

He stopped abruptly, realizing that he had made a mistake.

Wang Shouren became more energetic and said, "Your Majesty, please continue."

"I'll just tell you what you asked me to say? Then wouldn't I be very embarrassed!" Zhu Jianshen snorted coldly: "If you mention being a Taoist priest again, I'll slap you."

"...Your Majesty, what is the relationship between Li Qing and Ming Dynasty?" Wang Shouren asked.

"Don't ask about things on the road!"

"... Let's talk about it. Anyway, I have nothing to do. Let's just chat to relieve boredom."

Zhu Jianshen chuckled and said, "It will relieve your boredom if you are slapped with a big ear scraper."

He knew that he could not defeat Wang Shouren. After all, even Li Qing was no match for him, so he simply used fists to suppress him with force.

Wang Shouren was helpless. He was not facing ruffians, but the Ming Dynasty Emperor. He was unreasonable and he had no way to do anything about it.

In this era when imperial power is supreme, the emperor's words are 'reason'. This has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and Wang Shouren is not immune to this.

The king of heaven and earth is the master of the family, and the king is above the family. How does Wang Shouren argue? All you can do is shut up.

Huh~ I'm finally clean... Zhu Jian breathed a deep sigh of relief.



~

Early April, the beginning of summer.

The three came to Nanchang.

Li Qing gave Wang Shouren the task of driving the carriage, but he didn't know the way to Wang Shouren's father-in-law's house.

In fact, Wang Shouren didn't know the way. He had never been here before, so he had to look for the largest landmark building in Nanchang first.

——Prince Ning’s Mansion.

His father said that from Prince Ning's Mansion, walk north along the main road for about twenty miles, turn left, and walk another seven or eight miles until you reach his prospective father-in-law's house...

This is easy to find out. Many people in Nanchang know Prince Ning’s Mansion.

Wang Shouren asked someone to inquire, and rushed to Prince Ning's Mansion without haste...

The climate in Nanchang is very strange. It’s just the beginning of summer and it’s extremely hot.

Li Qing was fine, but Zhu Jianshen didn't have any vitality around him. He felt like he was in a sauna, with beads of sweat on his nose.

"Huh~ I can't, Li Qing, go get some ice to cool down. This carriage is like a steamer. I'm almost steamed." Zhu Jianshen wiped his sweat and panted.

Li Qing rolled his eyes helplessly, "You're not familiar with this place. Where can I get ice for you? I'll just pass by."

"Be patient, I'll pass." Zhu Jianshen was so weak that he was afraid of cold and heat. He almost stuck out his tongue. He whispered: "You have lived for so long and you have never been to Nanchang?"

Li Qing smiled bitterly and said: "I have been here before, but that was a long time ago. The last time I came, Prince Ning was still Zhu Quan."

"I don't care, hurry up and get me ice cubes, I can't stand it anymore." Zhu Jianshen became angry.

"..." Li Qing shouted outside: "Xiaoyun, ask someone if there is a high-end brothel nearby."

"Sir, I'm not that kind of person!"

"Li Qing, I'm not going to a brothel!"

They both spoke at the same time.

Li Qing was speechless: "I mean, go to the brothel and buy some ice cubes at a high price."

"Sir, you can find out for yourself," Wang Shouren stopped the carriage and said, "We will arrive at Prince Ning's Mansion soon. It is not far from my father-in-law's house. If it reaches his ears, the impact will not be good."

Li Qing: "..."

Zhu Jianshen was as hot as a dead pig. He groaned and refused to move. Wang Shouren wanted to lose face again, so Li Qing had no choice but to take action himself.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he got off the carriage, he saw a large group of people coming towards him.

At first, he thought he had met a married woman, but soon he realized who he had met.

The sedan carried by sixteen people, except for Prince Ning, I am afraid there is no one else here.

Li Qing turned around and opened the curtain, and said with a smile: "Prince Ning is here, why don't you borrow some from him?"

Zhu Jianshen pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "Forget it, I don't want to reveal my identity, otherwise I will be in trouble again, just go and buy some."

"You don't want to expose your identity, but you want me to run errands. You are really good at it..." Li Qing muttered and said angrily: "Okay, just wait."

While talking, Prince Ning also approached.

The streets here are not as wide as those in the capital city, but they are barely enough. Wang Shouren drove the carriage to the side to make way for the other party.

Originally, the servants accompanying Prince Ning were able to pass by just squeezing, but either because of their arrogance or for the sake of Prince Ning's safety, they suddenly wanted Wang Shouren to turn around and go back.

It was just a main road, and it was a hot summer day. Wang Shouren didn't want to go back. Besides, the emperor was already smoking hot.

He stepped forward, ready to make peace, but before he could reason, he was slapped in the face by two loud mouths.

Li Qing didn't expect the other party to be so domineering, and he just took action without letting anyone say anything, and his face darkened on the spot.

He stepped forward to pull Wang Shouren back, turned back and shouted to Zhu Jianshen in the carriage: "Come out and take care of your family. If you don't, I will take care of them."

Zhu Jianshen heard Li Qing's sullen anger and walked out of the carriage listlessly. He glanced at the other driver and said wiltingly: "Let your prince come out and speak."

"presumptuous!"

Before Prince Ning was angry, the servants in Prince Ning's mansion were already angry.

Zhu Jianshen looked helpless, took a breath and said, "Zhu Dianpei, come out."

If you want to talk about Zhu Dianpei, he is still the same generation as Zhu Zhanji. After all, Zhu Jianshen should be called Prince Ning, but that is a polite word when he is happy. If he is not happy, who do you think he is?

Obviously, Zhu Jianshen was unhappy.

He, the Supreme Emperor, was almost turned into a hot dog, but the little Prince Ning was extremely comfortable.

After Zhu Jianshen ascended the throne, vassal princes from all over the country came to the capital to congratulate him, including King Ning Zhu Dianpei.

Zhu Jianshen thought that as soon as the other party showed up, everything would be settled.

The other party did show up, but it was not Prince Ning, but a young man who looked about twelve or thirteen years old, about the same age as Li Hao.

The young man opened his mouth and cursed: "You bastard, you can call my grandpa by his first name?"

Zhu Jianshen was so hot that he was already in a depressed mood. Now that he was scolded and scolded by this child, he exploded on the spot. ΟиЪ.ōΓG

"Damn it, do you know who I am?"

"Your mother, your mother..." A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and a boy who is used to being a bully, how could he be frightened by Zhu Jianshen? Zhu Jianshen cursed him, and he returned the favor ten times.

That's it, and he still doesn't understand his hatred, but he still wants his servants to beat him.

In Nanchang, Prince Taning's Mansion is the king's law!

"Li, Li Qing, catch this naughty kid here," Zhu Jianshen was trembling with anger, gritting his teeth and said, "I'm going to beat his ass to pieces...!"
