When it was dark, there were more than a dozen fast horses, galloping towards the Zhengding Mansion City, and when they arrived outside the east gate, the suspension bridge had been pulled up on the city gate, and they could not enter the city. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Second son, let's go into the city again tomorrow! Go to the Big Buddha Temple in the east for a night to learn about the situation in Zhengding Mansion, and then go into the city to find out the news! The old man surnamed Zhang said beside him.

Song Xiaobao looked up at the tall black city wall, sighed helplessly, and said, "Okay! Uncle Zhang, let's go to the Big Buddha Temple tonight to rest! I had thought of going to the city first to check on the city's movements, but now it seems that I have to wait for tomorrow! With that, he turned around and led people to the Big Buddha Temple.

The Big Buddha Temple is also known as Longxing Temple, it is the first big temple in Zhengding Mansion at that time, it is famous for the thousand-handed Guanyin of more than seven zhang high and the Great Compassion Pavilion of more than ten zhang high, but what few people know is that it is also a branch altar of Maitreya Sect in Hebei, there are hundreds of Maitreya disciples in it, and the abbot Yilong Master also entered the Maitreya Sect early, and is now a deputy hall master of the Maitreya Sect.

When the monk who heard the door guard report that Song Xiaobao had arrived, Yilong did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly walked outside the mountain gate to greet him.

"Wow! It turned out that the second son of Song had arrived, and his subordinates were really disappointed! Yilong said with a grin.

Song Xiaobao smiled, jumped off the horse, dragged one with a limp left leg while walking, and stepped forward to salute Yilong. He attacked Lin Yi's mansion day and night, and was injured by a bomb thrown by Lin Yi, although he was killed, but his left leg was disabled. The two of them chattered for a few words, and the Yilong monk introduced several incense masters around him to Song Xiaobao, introduced them one by one, and hugged Song Xiaobao to the temple, until he walked to the abbot and sat down.

The little monk in the temple offered tea, Song Xiaobao took a few sips, and asked thoughtfully: "Master Yilong, how are the people in Zhengding Mansion living now, and are they still so bitter?" ”

Yilong's face showed a look of resentment, put the teacup in his hand on the table, gritted his teeth and said: "Amitabha, when it comes to the atrocities of the Great Zhou court, it is really difficult to write. In the past ten years, the prefect appointed by the imperial court to Zhengding is not as good as one, and after coming, he only knows about corruption and bribery, thinking about Fa'er's land grabs, and taking money to honor his boss. The lives of the common people are not as good as day by day. Everyone regards the government as a wolf, daring to be angry but not daring to speak. Nowadays, there are a lot of people who have joined our religion, and many villages are whole villages, and the people of the whole village have joined. Second son, we only need to stand up now, raise our arms and exhale, and we can immediately ignite a raging fire and wipe out all these corrupt officials in Zhengding Mansion! ”

Song Xiaobao showed a satisfied look on his face, and said with a smile: "This is the emperor of the Great Zhou who does not cherish his own people, and has given us a great opportunity!" But no wonder we dug into his corners and openly opposed him. That's right! Are you ready for all the things of this uprising? ”

A dragon bowed and said, "Amitabha! Second son, but rest assured, everything is ready. Now we have the heroes of Qinglong Mountain as foreign aid, the Big Buddha Temple, Tianning Temple, as well as Jingang, Qishi, Dongzhen Villages, and have created a large number of weapons. ”

Song Xiaobao smiled and said, "I'm relieved!" After thinking about it, he asked: "Now in Zhengding Mansion, who is the prefect?" And who is in charge of the military power of the Ti Zhi Division? ”

Yilong smiled: "It's a young prefect named Lin Yi, and the milk smell hasn't dried yet?" The military power of the Tihari Division is also in his hands for the time being! ”

"What? It turned out to be him! Song Xiaobao's hand shook, a cup of tea fell to the ground, his eyes rolled wildly, and the expression on his face was mixed.

Yilong looked at Song Xiaobao and asked in surprise, "What!" The second son knows him? ”

Song Xiaobao's face was extremely resentful, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Not only do you know each other, but you are also very familiar?" After thinking about it, he asked again: "After this Lin Yi came to Zhengding Mansion, what did he do?" ”

Yilong smiled: "He has no hair on his mouth, he is young and vigorous, he is a little reckless in doing things, and he is a little whimsical!" As soon as he came, he invited the well-known gentry in Zhengding Mansion to drink tea, saying that he was going to reduce rent and interest, but the gentry did not give him face and left together. Later, he had a conflict with Zhou Dechang, the prince of Anping County, and somehow, Zhou Dechang became crazy and took his subordinates to demolish his court. He was so embarrassed that he actually sent someone to arrest Zhou Dechang, send him to prison, and raid Zhou Dechang's home! Speaking of this, he shook his head and said with a disdainful face: "Although his intentions are good, but Zhou Dechang has a Danshu iron coupon to protect him, and he is the son-in-law of the British duke in the capital, and there are many old princes and old marquis in the court on his side, how can it be easy to deal with." Hey! I don't think we need to arrest him and kill him, but I'm afraid that the dog emperor will send someone to kill him? ”

Song Xiaobao stood up, slammed the fist of his right hand on the table beside him, gritted his teeth and said: "This person is at enmity with me, but I can't ask the Dog Emperor to kill him, but I have to smash him with a knife!" Speaking of this, he reached out and touched his left leg, with a hideous look in his eyes.

Yilong asked in surprise: "What is the deep hatred between the second prince and him?" ”

Uncle Zhang explained: "The second son and he knew each other when they were in the capital. This guy kidnapped the second son's concubine, and later took something called Tianlei, which injured the second son's left leg, causing him to be disabled for life. ”

Yilong suddenly said: "I see! After thinking about it, he stood up and said impassionedly: "The enmity of the second prince is the enmity of our sect members, in a few days, we will raise the banner of rebellion, capture the city, arrest the dog official, light him in the sky lantern, put him in the oil pot, smash him with a knife, and feed the dog!" ”

Song Xiaobao smiled again on his face, sat back in the chair, and said to Yilong: "Ten days later, it will be an auspicious day of the zodiac, and we will revolt on which day!" In the past few days, you have sent people to create a false image of the appearance of Maitreya Buddha in the Great Buddha Temple, and bewitched the Maitreya believers in the mansion, telling them that Maitreya has been born, and only by overthrowing the brutal Great Zhou Dynasty can everyone live a good life and usher in a world of great harmony. ”

Yilong and his subordinates nodded yes. Song Xiaobao thought for a while, and then said: "You immediately send a notice, tell the backbone of our mansion to sell the family's farmland, drag the family and the family, and rush to Qishi Village and Dongzhen Village to assemble, and when the auspicious day arrives, we will swear an alliance and raise troops together." ”

"Yes! Second son! Everyone responded in unison, their faces were a little excited, and some of them were eager to try.

Bianjing City, which is thousands of miles away, is also shrouded in a dark curtain. In the Zhengxing Dart Bureau, Zhang Wukui was holding a piece of letter paper in his hand, looking down carefully, with a dignified expression. At this time, his second brother Wang Meng walked in, bowed down and asked, "Big brother, what is the matter with you coming to me?" Why are so many dart masters packing their bags? ”

Zhang Wukui stuffed the letter in his hand and said slowly: "The third brother of Fang Cai Feige passed the book and sent us an urgent letter, saying that they had found out the whereabouts of the gang of bandits who attacked our convoy back then, and now these bandits are hiding on Qinglong Mountain, doing the business of robbing houses and houses. ”

"What are we waiting for? Eldest brother? Take your brethren out at once! With the assistance of Lord Lin of Zhengding Mansion, we will definitely be able to annihilate this gang of bandits in one fell swoop and avenge the dead brothers. Wang Meng said eagerly.

Zhang Wukui smiled and said, "What you said is right, I can't wait for a moment." However, we still have to make this matter clear to General Huyan, you should go to General Huyan's mansion immediately, tell him about it, and let him know. ”

"Aren't you going?" Wang Meng asked curiously.

Zhang Wukui said with a smile: "I want to go too, but the third brother sent a total of two letters this time, and this other secret letter was asked by Lord Lin to be forwarded to the emperor, I have to go to Lord Wang Bo's mansion in person, hand over this secret letter to him, and then he will forward it to the emperor." Speaking of this, he took out a letter from his sleeve, and on the cover was written a big urgent word, which was very eye-catching.

In the palace pill room, Chai Yuan sat cross-legged, concentrating on reciting the Tao Te Ching, and there was a furnace of gold pill in front of him.

"Your Majesty, Lord Wang Bo asked to see a dart master named Zhang Wukui!" A little eunuch came in and said.

"I know! Go down! Chai Yuan said, a pair of eyelids never lifted. After reciting the Tao Te Ching in his mouth, he got up and walked to the study outside to sit down.

"Your Majesty, Lin Yi from Zhengding Mansion has an urgent letter, please take a look at the emperor." Wang Bo respectfully handed over a letter in his hand.

Chai Yuan took it and looked at it, his face suddenly showed joy, and he patted his thigh and said: "This Lin Yi is so bold, he caught the county prince of Anping and got such a large sum of silver for me, this time it's good!" The salaries of the soldiers in the northwest have been settled! ”

Wang Bo frowned and said: "It's just that this time he poked a big hornet's nest, if any of the old princes and old marquis in the court heard the news and made a fuss, it would be difficult to do!" ”

Chai Yuan thought for a while and said: "Tell him, as long as he can help settle which group of heroes and nobles in the court, which Zhou Dechang will be at his disposal, but if he can't appease any group of heroes and nobles, I will have to push him out and be a scapegoat!" ”

Wang Bo said with a smile: "This Lin Yi boasted in the letter that he had a way, and he didn't know if it was true or not, so which minister drew up a holy decree according to the emperor's will." And tomorrow, Zhang Wukui and the others will set off to Zhengding Mansion to help Governor Lin fight bandits, so he will take them by the way! ”

"What's going on with this Zhang Wukui and Ma Chao, Lin Yi said in the letter that he wanted to promote Ma Chao to the post of Zhengding Mansion, and said that they were originally the commanders of the border camp?" Chai Yuan asked.

Wang Bo bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Wukui, Ma Chao, and another one named Wang Meng, are sworn brothers, several of them were originally the subordinates of General Huyan, followed General Huyan to fight in the border pass for many years, and was promoted to the position of battalion commander because of merit, and later negotiated peace with the Khitan, they were eliminated, because there was no way out, they and a group of brothers under him, co-founded the Zhengxing Dart Bureau, in fact, they were originally the generals of my Great Zhou. ”

Chai Yuan nodded and sighed: "These people are all people who have made great contributions to protect my Great Zhou Jiangshan Sheji, but they have fallen to the people, I am sorry for them, and immediately passed the decree to seal Ma Chao as the jurisdiction of Zhengding Mansion, Zhang Wukui and Wang Meng, and after they have made great contributions this time, they will be rewarded for their meritorious deeds!" ”

"Yes! Your Majesty! Wang Bo bowed and retreated.
