The southeast shape wins, the three Wu metropolises, and Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
On the bank of the West Lake, in the Lingyin Temple of Feilaifeng, a middle-aged man respectfully saluted a pillar of incense to the Buddha statue.
If you weren't familiar with it, you wouldn't have imagined that this extraordinarily pious member in front of the Buddha would be Fang La, the contemporary leader of Manichaeism in eastern Zhejiang.
He was originally just a helper, that is, in the past few years, the Manichaean sweater business has made a small amount of money, so that he can buy a field and a house on the edge of the West Lake, and also live in the body to nourish his qi, from a black poor laborer, to a white and fat rentier.
Since ancient times, those who have rebelled through religion have generally been like this, and at the beginning they were able to share the weal and woe with the believers, and after a little success, they had to pursue personal enjoyment.
After paying homage to the incense, Fang La prayed silently for a few more words, and then, accompanied by the monk of Zhike, slowly walked out of the Daxiong Treasure Hall.
At this moment, I saw a little novice running recklessly and planting himself on top of him.
"Daoji, Daoji, you little novice is not honest!" The chubby monk grabbed the little novice, saw that his mouth was shiny, twisted his ears vigorously, and scolded him sharply.
The little novice grinned, but he didn't cry out for pain, but just said, "Good Iron Ox, Good Iron Ox!" ”
The acquaintance was inexplicable, but Fang La smiled, knowing that he was laughing at the acquaintance monk, like an Indian iron cow in front of Lingyin Temple, standing blocking the door, with his nostrils facing the sky. This little novice has a bit of meaning, Fang La persuaded the acquaintance, and was about to talk to the little novice, but when he saw him running away as soon as he slipped away, he didn't thank him: "You have what you are busy with, I have what I am busy with, everyone is busy with their own work, and in the end they are all busy in vain!" ”
There seems to be a deep meaning in these words.
Fang La's concentration was thought for a while, and he was about to ask the acquaintance who the little novice was, but he saw that in front of the temple gate, the two companions were desperately snorting at him.
He knew that there was something wrong in the sect, so he said goodbye to the acquaintance, led the two companions out of the temple, and walked where there was no one, and one of the companions said in a low voice: "There is news from the sect that Chen Junshi has fallen into the hands of Zhou Quan and has ascended to the Great Bright Country." ”
Fang La's heart was cold, and his eyebrows moved!
Chen Hoop Bucket is quite wise, it was after he met Fang La, he tried his best to agitate, and also put forward a strategy for raising troops in the future, so Fang La would be disgusted. To a certain extent, Fang Lanai was the head of Manichaeism in eastern Zhejiang, while Chen Hoop was the mastermind of Manichaeism.
"Don't go back to Zhuangzi, take a boat to the city!" Fang La's mind turned and ordered.
Although Fang La believed that he would not betray him, out of prudence, he decided to abandon Zhuangzi, where he had lived for more than a year, and move to the populous city of Hangzhou, where it was easier to conceal his whereabouts.
If others want to hide, they are hiding in the poor countryside, but Fang La feels that it is better to hide in the city than in the wilderness, he has long been worried that something will happen, so he has also prepared an identity for himself in Hangzhou City.
"Order all the leaders to come to the Qinghefang Guo Yuanwaifu in the city, without Chen Junshi, we can't count the previous things!" He ordered again.
Previously, the Manichaean plan was all drawn up by Chen Hoop, and it was difficult for Fang La, the sect leader, to be self-contained. When the news of Chen Hoop's death first came, Fang La's heart was extremely sad, but at this moment, he had a faint sense of relief.
Manichaean leaders from all over eastern Zhejiang soon gathered in the city of Hangzhou from various counties. At this time, it was the end of the year, and everyone was originally ready to live happily and happily, but the news of Chen Hoop's death caused the entire Manichaean leadership to fall into chaos.
There was a big quarrel.
Some wanted to do something immediately, and some suggested that everyone hide in the countryside to avoid the limelight, and the two sides almost fought each other.
After all, rebellion is not a dinner party, it is a bloodshed, and the development of Manichaeism in recent years has made their rebellion more complicated.
After arguing for a long time, they realized that Fang La, who was the Holy Father, had not spoken out.
Xiao Shenggong was behind Fang La, he wanted to find Zhou Quan's bad luck and avenge Chen Hoop's bucket. But he knew that his father had other plans.
Chen hoop bucket is not there, some things, should be cleaned up.
"Don't make any noise, listen to the teachings of the Holy Father!" Just when everyone was arguing, someone finally remembered Fang La, the sect leader.
Fang La's gaze swept over everyone, and he stood up: "Sect brothers, you have forgotten one thing...... Chen Junshi can't die in vain! ”
As soon as these words came out, some of the people nodded again and again, and some were ashamed.
Before, they were all arguing about how to deal with themselves and others, but no one thought of Chen Hoop Bucket.
"Therefore, I am ready to send people to the north to assassinate Zhou Quan when he has not left the capital division!" Fang La's voice turned sharp: "This person has repeatedly mistaken the major affairs of my Holy Sect, and it is not enough to calm his anger if he does not get rid of it!" ”
"But now that he is in a high position, apart from him, will the court allow me to wait?" Someone shouted.
"If I don't get rid of him, the court will let me wait? Before you go to Hangzhou Mansion and say, you are the ministry of the Holy Church of Light, you see, they will not tolerate you! ”
"Yes, if this person is not removed, he will be the great enemy of the Holy Sect in the future!"
Everyone was talking in unison, and gradually Zhou Quan's faction had the upper hand. This faction is mostly connected by Chen Hoop Bucket from south to north, and they are also the most determined faction.
Seeing this situation, Fang La said again: "That is the case, I have drawn up a list, this time I went north, the stakes are very important, in order to prevent the leakage, you can't call ordinary sect members, and you can't use the Jingshi believers, so you have to have to be here." ”
Only then did everyone quiet down, and Fang La began to roll call, one after another, and most of the people who were called did not hesitate to respond.
If you have the heart, you will find that what Fang La ordered is those who are clamoring to avenge Chen Hoop and immediately kill officials and rebel.
In their opinion, killing Zhou Quan would not be tolerated by the imperial court, and Manichaeism would inevitably take action.
"As for how to carry out the assassination, Zhou Quan is cunning and must act with a camera, I will allocate 10,000 yuan of special funds to these brothers for you to find opportunities in Beijing, or to buy official errands, or to plot against his guards, everything is premised on the safety of your brothers, you must take care of yourself, don't be helpless Zhou Quan, but mistake yourself!"
10,000!
In the past few years, the life of Manichaeism has been better, at least these middle and upper class people have accumulated some belongings, but 10,000 yuan, for most of them, they have never seen it.
Therefore, the people's spirits were even more high.
The next thing is to decide the time to go north, everyone thinks that now that they are leaving, the New Year is approaching, so more than 20 people leave home and go north, it is easy to arouse suspicion, so the best time is to pretend to be a business traveler after the fifteenth day of the first month of the next year, and then set off to the north.
So everyone decided to set off together after the Lantern Festival, and strive to arrive in Beijing in about half a month. At that time, even if Zhou Quan left Beijing, they had to prepare in Beijing for Zhou Quan's return.
Everyone dispersed, and Fang La was the only one who left Chen Shiv.
This Chen Fourteen, who is the "Fourteenth Uncle" in the mouth of the Little Shenggong Fangshu, was originally in charge of affairs in Beijing, but later had to withdraw because of the conflict with Zhou Quan.
"Fourteen, you have been in Beijing for a long time, although the military advisor is gone, some lines in the north cannot be broken, and tens of thousands of sect members rely on this to provide food and clothing, so I intend to send you north, first to Bianjing, and then to Rongcheng, what do you think?"
"The younger brother has no opinion, it's just that I have met with Zhou Quan's subordinates, and I am afraid that they will recognize him."
Hearing him say this, Fang La smiled slightly, pondered for a while, and asked in a low voice, "Do you think now is the time to start an incident?" ”
"At this time, when it is not the right time to do something, when the military advisor is there, he often says that we must continue to forbear. Now the government is corrupted day by day, the Zhu thief is in the south of the Yangtze River, the Yang thief is in Shandong, and the child thief is in the northwest, all of which have disturbed the people's lives. As long as it is together with the war in Liao, once the conscription and military service are levied, the people in these three places will inevitably raise their minds. At that time, we can raise troops again, not only to command the heroes, but also to avoid the edge of the court...... Although the military advisor has now ascended to the immortal, we should still adhere to his strategy! ”
Fang La had long noticed that Chen Shishi was one of the people who did not approve of the immediate action just now.
Hearing that he responded like this, Fang La nodded: "It's just that you have also seen it, and the call for immediate action is very high, if it weren't for me temporarily assassinating Zhou Quan as a delaying tactic, I'm afraid that they would force me to give an order on the spot." ”
Among the high-level Manichaeism, there have always been two factions, slow and radical, and only Chen Hoop can suppress the two factions, even Fang La's speech is not as useful as his. Now that Chen Hoop Bucket is dead, and the radicals can no longer suppress it, Fang La showed a helpless look, which made Chen Shishi can't help but say angrily: "This group of guys is really not enough to achieve, and there are more than enough failures!" ”
"If they are so disregardful, sooner or later they will harm the Holy Sect, and the Holy Sect will naturally take action to establish a great bright kingdom in the world, but they must wait for the time to be ripe. When Emperor Wenjia failed, he was mistaken by these reckless people, and he was not prepared to act in a hurry. Our defeat and death are small things, but the destruction of the Holy Religion is a big matter, fourteen, you say, we should deal with these people like this! ”
When Chen Shishi heard this, he was shocked to realize that Fang La had left him to deal with those radicals in the sect!
It's not a good thing for one's own family to deal with one's own family, and after the news spreads, I'm afraid that the entire Holy Sect will immediately fall apart.
"I will do what the Father commands!" Holding his breath for a long time, Chen Shishi said.
"You entered the Beijing Division in advance, and in my name, I will visit Zhou Quan once." Fang La said slowly: "I want to set up a Zhedong Chamber of Commerce, and if I want to buy a ship, I must find the boat yard in Zhou Quan's hands and buy the best sea ship today!" ”
Chen Shishi only felt that his eyes were about to burst out.
This is dealing with Zhou Quan head-on, where is to let him buy a boat, but let him sell people!
After all these years, the backbone of the radical faction in the sect who went north to assassinate Zhou Quan, Fang La was ready to sell them all to Zhou Quan!
As soon as he was about to speak out against it, his heart sank again.
Although he has always been Fang La's confidant, since Fang La let him know about such things, if he didn't comply, Fang La would definitely not let him leave alive.
Looking at this Holy Father in the sect again, Chen Shishi only felt that the popularity in front of him was as heavy as the sea, and it was unfathomable. One word came to his mind: Hero! (To be continued.) )
