Chapter 292: The Cave of the Holy Father

"Jiang Aiqing, please speak."

Jiang Wanli hesitated for a moment, but his face was extremely serious: "Your Majesty, the minister's family is unfortunate, out of this scum, Weichen deeply feels that he is not strict in discipline, and bears an inescapable crime. ”

"Jiang Aiqing, you also have a share of bribes."

Jiang Wanli hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister dares to guarantee his life with his family name, and the minister will never do anything that violates the law and discipline, and the minister has no knowledge of Jiang Yundi's case in advance." ”

"Jiang Aiqing, I believe in you." I smiled, "Since you didn't take bribes, then for you, this matter can only be regarded as your family affair at most, and it has nothing to do with the government. ”

Jiang Wanli thanked: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

It seems that the analysis of Yuan Jian and the Dragon Tooth Intelligence Department really has a certain amount of truth, Jiang Wanli really can't help it, and wants to resign to prove his high style, Jiang Wanli in history often angers Jia Yidao, so he can't be in his position for a long time every time, history, after Duzong ascended the throne, Jiang Wanli must not ask for retreat four times, however, there is a lack of talent in the court, where will I let him go into hiding, and Jia Yidao is no longer a powerful minister of the government and the opposition,

As soon as I thought of this, I couldn't help but look at Jia Yidao, and saw that he was still unfazed, as if this matter had nothing to do with him, I thought, "This matter has nothing to do with him." ”

"Qin Mi, Qin Aiqing."

"The minister is here."

"Jiang Yundi's case will be adjudicated according to the upper limit set by the law, and the Ministry of Officials will be ordered to put it on record, and the government at all levels will never hire him, and all the bribes he has received will be recovered."

"Yes, I obey."

"Ladies and gentlemen, please play if you have a book."

"Your Majesty, the minister Ma Tingluan has a book."

"Ma Aiqing, please speak."

"Your Majesty, it has been several months since the original Gongyuan was changed to Lin'an University, and recently, the address of the new Gongyuan has been confirmed, please make a decision on it."

"Oh, where."

"Your Majesty, in the north of Lin'an, about three miles south of Dali Temple."

"Well, quasi, Ma Aiqing, discuss with the Ministry of Industry, and start work after the year."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the ministers obey."

"Ma Aiqing, Ye Aiqing, regarding the work report of the officials stationed abroad this year, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites have all arranged it."

Ye Mengding and Ma Tingluan said in unison: "Your Majesty, it has been arranged. ”

"Okay, ladies and gentlemen, I have one more thing, you should think about it first, most of the officials in our dynasty move every three years, or change departments, or go to local officials, which is not conducive to our officials buying houses locally, so I plan to try to build a batch of houses near the imperial city and rent them to officials who do not have houses, and at the same time, I will also build a number of low-rent houses and rent them to the people of Lin'an who do not have houses, what do you think about this, we will discuss it later."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Xiao Qi, retreat."

Xin'an River is located in the northwest of Zhejiang Province, originating in Anhui Province, entering the territory of Zhejiang Province in the east, passing through Chun'an to Jiande and Lanjiang River, and flowing into the Qiantang River in the northeast.

Jiande Mansion is located at the junction of Liangzhejiang Road and Jiangnan West Road, Xin'an River crosses its border, Jiande Mansion was formerly known as Muzhou, Northern Song Dynasty Xuanhe three years (1121) was renamed Yanzhou after the suppression of the Fangla uprising, Jiande is the state governance, Xianchun at the beginning of the first year, Yanzhou is Jiande Mansion, Jiande is the government, the west of Jiande Mansion is close to the Jiangnan Road in Huizhou, there is a relatively closed small mountain village, called Bangyuan Village, this is an obscure small village, after the Fang La uprising against the Song Dynasty is famous, after the Fang La rebellion was suppressed, here is almost uninhabited, Until the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, Gaozong gradually regained popularity after crossing to the south, for more than a hundred years, the descendants of the Fang family have taken root here, and re-formed the scale, but the descendants of the Fang family acted extremely low-key, and the Southern Song Dynasty court fell into internal and external troubles, and had no time to take care of it, so it gradually forgot about this place,

Bangyuan Village is surrounded by mountains and rivers, the scenery is beautiful, the mountain village is relatively blocked, just like a paradise, quiet and indifferent, except for the Xin'an River waterway, there is only a narrow path connected to the outside world,

In winter, the mountain village is already cold, perhaps because the New Year is approaching, most of the villagers' faces are filled with festive colors, and they also feel a trace of warmth in their hearts.

At this time, in a cave on the back mountain, there are ten people who look like villagers are sitting around a long wooden table, although this is a natural cave, but if you look closely, you will find that this is a hole in a hole, ten people are in the inner hole, and traces of artificial decoration can be seen everywhere in the hole.

There is a horizontal plaque hanging on the cave wall in the front, on which is the three big characters of "Shenggong Cave", below the horizontal plaque is a half-person-high statue, this statue is dressed in a royal robe, a bead, a book in one hand, eyes level, very majestic, from an ink blot next to the statue, this statue is known as the "Holy Father" of Fang La,

The person on the front of the long table is about forty years old, with a long beard, gentle and elegant, quite a fairy charm, looks a little similar to the statue, and there is a young man in his twenties sitting opposite it, this person is handsome, but his eyes are cloudy, giving people a very uncomfortable feeling, the four people on the left side of the long table have different shapes, there are elegant scribes, there are also hair shawls with heads, and the four people on the right are all dressed as villagers,

The young man first said, "Father, the eight elders have arrived, let's begin." ”

The ten people in this cave are all the upper echelons of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, the long-bearded person in the middle is named Fang Chenqian, the third leader of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, known as the third master in the alliance, and also the descendants of Fang La, the young man opposite is his only son Fang He, and the remaining eight people are the eight elders of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, the four elders on the right are all from the Fang clan, two of them belong to Fang Chenqian's elders, they are the second elder Fang Heping, the third elder Fang Heshan, and the other two are Fang Chenqian's clan brothers, among the eight elders, Fang Chenxiao and Fang Chenqi, who are ranked fifth and sixth, The four people on the right are elders with foreign surnames, according to the order of the seats, they are the great elder "Divine Spear Invincible" Wang Shangyuan, the four elders "Red Face Rulai" Kong Ming Toutuo, the seven elders "Wind Splitting Knife" Shi Meteor, and the eight elders "Lianzhu Divine Shooting" Pang Zeyao, these four people are also the descendants of the eight heavenly kings under the Fang La tent back then.

"Well, guys, let's get started." Fang Chenqian, the third leader, first took everyone to worship the statue of Fang La, and then said, "Today, the situation is gradually clear, the Mongols are bound to go south, with the power of the Song Dynasty is absolutely invincible, the troubled times are coming, this is the time when our alliance rises again, as the three masters of the alliance, I decided that from now on, the alliance will begin to prepare for the establishment of a military system, secret training, this matter is headed by the great elder, in addition, in order to repeat the mistakes of the ancestors, in the development of its own strength, the alliance also needs to make friends with external forces, jointly destroy the Song Dynasty." ”

"Wait, Third Master."

Fang Chenqian saw that someone interrupted his words, and his face turned cold and said, "Fifth Elder, do you have any objections?" ”

The fifth elder Fang Chenxiao also did not show weakness and said: "The third master, this is a major event in my alliance, I think it is not too late to wait for the boss to come back and make a decision." ”

"Boss." Fang Chenqian suddenly smiled and said, "Fifth Elder, has the boss been in charge of the affairs of the alliance in the past few years?" ”

"This, it doesn't seem to be, but the eldest will return to the clan during the Chinese New Year this year."

The second elder Fang Heping said: "Fifth Elder, we all agree with the third master's decision, since the boss doesn't care about things, the third master should be in charge of the affairs in this alliance, and the third master is wise and martial, and he is the one who really does great things, the old man believes that the third master will definitely lead us to eliminate the Zhao family." ”

Fang Chenqian said: "The second uncle has won the award, to be honest, the boss's talent is a rare encounter in our family for a hundred years, but since Fang Huan died in Sichuan, the boss is disheartened, sad and no longer willing to take care of the affairs of the alliance, although Chen Qian is not talented, but never forget the hatred of the ancestors, now the troubled times are coming, the alliance has gone through a hundred years, the vitality is gradually recovering, how can this great opportunity be lost casually, although the boss is both civil and military, but the surname is too compassionate, a few years ago, I proposed to take advantage of the Mongolian army to move into Sichuan, but the boss is unbearable to live in the misery as the reason, to refuse, You all know this, so Chen Qian is willing to pick up this burden, otherwise he will miss this opportunity, and the revenge of the ancestors will not know how long it will take to get it. ”

Fang Chenqian's words always put the righteousness of the Heavenly Dao Alliance first, except for Fang Chenxiao and Eighth Elder Pang Zeyao, the other six people all agreed: "The third master is wise and knows the righteousness, with the third master here, how can this alliance not prosper." ”

Fang Chenxiao didn't know how to refute for a while, and seeing that most of the elders supported Fang Chenqian, he could only be silent,

The purpose of the Heavenly Dao Alliance is very direct, that is, to avenge the ancestor Fang La and eliminate the Zhao family, as the three masters said, the boss has ignored the affairs of the alliance for several years, and he is indeed too benevolent, not the kind of person who does not achieve the goal and does not care about the means, Fang Chenxiao also admitted that if he wants to plot a rebellion, benevolence is not advisable, Fang Chenxiao can't control his way, he sighed secretly, and continued to listen,

"Great Elder, you are an all-round scholar and martial artist, this matter will be handed over to you."

"Third master, rest assured." This great elder Wang Shangyuan is the descendant of Wang Yin, the head of the Eight Heavenly Kings back then, who is good at using steel guns and proficient in the art of war, so he is the first choice for leading soldiers, and more importantly, because he is an active supporter of Fang Chenqian.

"Red-faced Rulai" Kong Ming Toutuo then asked: "Third Master, you just said that you want to make friends with external forces, I don't know what your intentions are. ”

Fang Chenqian said: "Fourth Elder, when the ancestors were in trouble, the surrounding area was peaceful, so the Zhao family children could gather their strength to deal with the ancestors all the time, if we had allies to help, we could drag down the power of the Song Dynasty, then we could reduce our pressure." ”

"Well, which one can be an ally?" Kong Ming asked, "The three major martial arts families, or other martial arts factions." ”

"Neither." Fang Chenqian thought about it, glanced at Fang He on the other side, and seemed to have made up his mind, "Everyone, since you are not outsiders, today, I will tell you a great happy event. ”

"Well, third master, how can you be happy." They asked,
