Shen Yun, the official of the Imperial City Division, heard the words of "torture in Kaifeng Mansion", and his face changed slightly. Kaifeng Mansion Yin Nai is Cai Jing's henchman, and he sent the children to prison in Kaifeng Mansion to ask, under Sanmu, why can't you ask for it? Although the party struggle in this dynasty is fierce, it is only limited to scholars and doctors, and even on the party monument that pushes the party struggle to the extreme, there are only more than 300 people with names and surnames. But according to what Cai Jing said, the exposé case involved more than 2,000 people at once, which is unprecedented and large-scale.

He was about to open his mouth to question, but Cai Jing said again: "The most important thing at the moment is to choose a general to take command of the southern expedition." Wang Yan, the commander of the armies in Hejian, has been in the army for a long time, has a heavy and strategic, and coordinates the generals to resist the Liao army in the river, which is quite praised by Tong Daren, and he is a general. In the opinion of the old minister, this person is a suitable person. ”

After Cai Jing finished recommending him, he stood calmly, as if this move was completely out of public intentions, but occasionally his eyes moved slightly, but he looked at Shen Yun, the official of the Imperial City Division. In just a few months, Wang Yan was quickly promoted to the commander of the Hejian armies due to the Hebei Change, controlling nearly 50,000 forbidden troops, and fighting Yang Yanqing and Liu Yanqing in Hebei. The promotion of subordinates so quickly has already made Shen Yun feel a little inappropriate, and now Cai Jing proposed to let Wang Yan go out of the southern expedition camp, which is a big problem for Shen Yun.

"The prince has only commanded an army of 150,000 people, and after pacifying the southeast, he will not be willing to be under me. However, as soon as the words of opposition came out, there was no impermeable wall in the world, and the treacherous tricks of the old thief Cai in the middle of the miscellaneous family, and the military power in the river that was finally won would definitely be separated from the Imperial City Division. Shen Yun pondered again and again, but never groaned. Just now, I wanted to question the inappropriateness of handing over thousands of lifts to Kaifeng Mansion for torture, and I couldn't take care of it.

Prime Minister Cai nominated and recommended, and other important ministers were not willing to object. The privy envoy Wang Fu has always been the only one who looks to him. Governor Zhao Zhifu's face was like water, but he was secretly frightened because His Majesty wanted to investigate the case. He was worried that he or the prince would eventually be involved, and his lips moved slightly, but he never said a word. Li Bangyan had a slight sneer on the corner of his mouth, secretly thinking that Gongxiang Cai had sent all the anger of the excavation of the ancestral tomb on the heads of this group of Confucian students. Some time ago, these people had to make inches of progress, playing with fire and immolating themselves, and they took the blame on themselves. These two people didn't take the matter of the Southern Recruitment to heart at all, after all, the matter advocated by Cai Gongxiang was harmless, so it was best not to get in the way.

After stroking his forehead and thinking about it again, he agreed to Cai Jing's proposal, and ordered Wang Yan to be appointed as the Xuanfu envoy of Jiang, Huai, Jing, Zhejiang and other roads, and the southeast battalion was deployed. He was ordered to select 10,000 elite soldiers from Hejian, transfer 70,000 forbidden troops to the Xijing camp, 50,000 forbidden troops to the Beijing Division, and 10,000 forbidden troops stationed on Hubei Road, and recruit 20,000 archers, Liangjiazi, and Fan soldiers who volunteered to join the expedition in Hebei and Jingshi Zuojinzhou County, and formed the Southern Expedition Battalion, totaling 150,000 troops, and set out as soon as possible. The Hejian armies were returned to Hebei to make Liu Yanqing restrained. At the same time, the remaining forbidden troops and Xiang troops in the southeastern prefectures and counties were ordered to concentrate on Jinling, and Jinling must be defended, so as not to increase the momentum after the thieves conquered the old capital in the south of the Yangtze River.

In the city of Hangzhou, there are Mingjiao people coming and going everywhere, and this uprising that almost swept the south of the Yangtze River in a few days went so smoothly that the old brothers of Mingjiao all felt a little high-spirited. Not far away, the fires in Caifu and Hangzhou Fabrication Bureau have almost been extinguished, and there is still smoke. Although most of the shops on the street were looted by looting scoundrels during the siege, and the occasional beggar who passed by took away the door panels, the dwellings of ordinary people were not harassed much. In the morning, I got the news that there were several newly arrived ships moored at the wharf outside the Wulin Gate, that is, Xiao Yanping, the envoy appointed by the Holy Sect, and several big merchants had already negotiated, and the Holy Sect guaranteed the safety of the goods, and soon, the goods from all over the world and even overseas would return to the Hangzhou market.

At this moment, a group of leaders in the Ming Sect walked out of the Yamen. The congregants of the uprising are graded according to the color of the silk scarf on their heads, and the lowest congregants are tied with red scarves on their heads, and the above are orange, yellow, blue, purple, and white in order, and white is only used by the sect leader Fang La. The upper and lower levels are clear at a glance. And most of these people have purple silk scarves tied on their heads, or at least blue scarves.

Shi Sheng, Zheng Demon King, Lu Qi'er and other altar masters from all over the world have just listened to the Holy Father's edict. These people have been serving in the sect for a long time, and finally waited for the day when they came out, and they were talking about it lively, the Holy Sect swept the southeast state capital this time, and it seemed that it was the trend of dividing the river and ruling the world, and even dominating the world, only a natural god like Sect Leader Fang could do it. Sect Leader Fang is going to hold an enthronement ceremony in the near future, establish a national system, three provinces and six departments, and provincial prefectures and counties, all of which are indispensable.

Deng Yuanjue, who was wearing a purple turban, had a worried face. The Holy Sect received the support of the Yan Gang, the Cao Gang, and some wealthy businessmen in the southeast, and took advantage of the government's surprise to sweep through more than a dozen prefectures and counties within a few days, which was exceptionally smooth. Now that the imperial court has come to its senses, the forbidden troops in Jiangxi, Hunan, Hubei, Fujian, and Guangnan are all taking precautions in places where the Mingjiao uprising has not reached, and many prefectures and counties have also closed their city gates during the day. At this time, the forbidden army near Jiangnan Road kept converging towards Jinling. However, the sect leader Fang La didn't know who he had listened to, and he actually planned to send a large army to attack Jinling after the enthronement ceremony in Hangzhou.

Although the Holy Church has taken over the Yamen of the state capital, the household registration is unknown, the taxes are not known, the grain and grass are not known, and the old brothers in the Yazhong only adhere to the strict law, and worship Mingzun at seven o'clock in the day and night, and there are even more ill-intentioned people who only agitate the congregation every day to persuade ordinary people to donate their family property to join the church.

After the incident, Sect Leader Fang tried his best to restrain the people from harassing the people, and also beheaded several black sheep to set an example. However, the grudge between the grassroots cultists and the government is too deep, and if they catch it, they will cut off their limbs and dismember them at every turn, dig out their lungs and dig out their hearts, and even boil them with anointing oil and shoot arrows indiscriminately. The Wu Yu brothers, who originally served Mingzun, were almost beaten to death by the other altar sect members who took advantage of the chaos to pour in, and the left protector Zhang Huaisu also slapped the table with the right protector Fang with a fat red face for this reason, which was also useless. Not only did it frighten the officials and officials in the southeast to flee one after another, but it also frightened many gentry, wealthy businessmen, and even ordinary people, and aggravated their misunderstanding of the Holy Religion.

The original cultural relics in the southeast area were prosperous, and Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism all have deep roots here. At present, the Mingjiao uprising, scholars from all over the country have avoided it. Many villages that did not want to convert to Mingzun actually served the local squires and raised people as leaders, and began to practice village courage and form villages to protect themselves. In the long run, the great situation that the Holy Sect has accumulated over the past decades and has accumulated is only afraid that it will be in vain.

Deng Yuanjue was pondering, and suddenly someone patted him on the shoulder. Looking back, it was the old brother for many years, Shi Sheng, the altar master of the Sect of Leshantan. He is almost an old brother who joined the church in the same year as Fang La, and he runs on the river boat all the year round, but he has a straightforward temperament.

Shi Sheng complained in a low voice: "Lao Zheng, you said that the Confucian student only wrote a revealing post, neither worshipping Mingzun, but also making no achievements in the Holy Sect, how could Sect Master Fang attach so much importance to him, and solemnly announced that he would be the former military advisor of the Holy Sect." Many of the old brothers in the sect have risked their homes and heads for many years, and they have worked hard and made great achievements, and they cannot share their official positions. The sect leader didn't give benefits to outsiders! ”

Deng Yuanjue secretly thought that this iron man who kills people without blinking an eye will also be blinded by fame and fortune. He smiled slightly and said, "I'm afraid that the sect leader doesn't value him, this holy oracle came to Bianjing, urging him to go to Huangquan Road." ”

Shi Sheng seemed to have an understanding, but still hesitated: "He and I have no grievances, why ......?"

Deng Yuanjue said: "It is said that this surnamed Zhao has some prestige in Hebei, and this revelation has earned a great reputation, as long as the faint king beheads him, he will lose a lot of people's hearts." ”

Shi Sheng nodded, then suddenly realized, and sighed in a low voice: "I see, such a bad thing is not done by heroes and heroes. ”

Deng Yuanjue smiled when he heard this: "Just to pass on my holy religion, with the eight-character mantra of 'purity, light, strength, and wisdom', the souls of the world will be forever free from darkness." Many brothers in the church would rather abandon their wives and children, and their livers and brains will be ruined. In order to achieve great things, what is it to sacrifice a small Confucian student. Besides, these Confucian scholars opened their mouths and closed their mouths to say that the people in the Holy Sect are demons, where are I waiting for heroes and heroes. ”

Shi Sheng was stunned for a moment and then smiled, nodded, and recognized Deng Yuanjue's statement, and frowned again, "What if the faint monarch doesn't kill him?" Isn't the leader miscalculated? ”

Deng Yuanjue smiled dumbly and said: "Even if the faint monarch is not calculated, the military advisor is only one point, it is sealed today, and it will be exempted tomorrow, and the Holy Sect has nothing to lose." "This trick is too obvious to kill people with a knife. If the one in Bianjing is really mediocre to this point, then he can really consider conquering Jinling and going north to dominate the world.

In fact, Deng Yuanjue hoped in his heart that Sect Master Fang would absorb some talents from outside the sect to be used by the Holy Sect, and it would be a matter of serving the Sect, and it was not a question of whether to worship Mingzun or not.
