Chapter 257: Those Things About the White Lotus Sect

: Hao Nanlu ran back to his study excitedly. I took out the treasure ratio, ※

After opening the treasure again, Deng Haonan was no longer confused.

Just from Wanshu's method of recording rare characters, Deng Haonan deduced the meaning of the numerical code on the treasure map.

That's right!

The same five sets of numbers above should represent a Chinese character, because this is a map, and the nodes above obviously refer to the name of the place. And the meaning of those numbers is not any international code in Deng Haonan's imagination, but a simple dictionary search procedure.

belch

That Hao Nan was stunned suddenly, although he knew the meaning and representation of the code, but which book did the designer of the map use but the code master?

Di Haonan's joy came to an abrupt end, looking at the strings of codes, he still had nowhere to start.

In ancient times, there was no dictionary, and it was completely dictated by the master of the school. There are not many other things in the Ming Empire, and before the Qianlong book burning, the literary development of the Ming Dynasty was unprecedentedly powerful, with no less than one million books of all kinds. Which book is the code master of the map?

First of all, Deng Haonan can be sure that this book will not be the Analects everywhere on the street, and although the Analects can be passed down for a long time, the government of different generations will publish different versions of the Analects and commentaries. Therefore, the original map password designers should have taken this into account.

Therefore, this code master must be a book that can be passed on, a book that no one can change the order of versions, or a book that can resist brute force cracking.

Na Haonan synthesized this information and accidentally saw the Yongle Dictionary on the corner of the table.

It should be!

Regardless of the time, place, or person, this Yongle canon fits the clues provided by the treasure. As a traverser, there are not many codebooks to choose from, and the well-known Yongle Dictionary is the first impression of the traverser of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the first codebook consideration.

So, Na Haonan immediately brought the drawings, called Feng Shaoyan together, and went out of the mansion with the personal guards and went straight to the Huangshi Lu Library.

※※

Let's say that after Tan Wanqing was let go by Deng Haonan, she wanted to settle in the White Lotus Sect branch in Beijing. Unexpectedly, Deng Haonan's suppression of the White Lotus Sect in Beijing was quite severe, and several strongholds were destroyed.

Di Haonan let go of Chen Wanqing all because of Yan Siyu's face, but the spies of the Military Intelligence Bureau and the Security Bureau under Deng Haonan did not let Zhen Wanqing go, and then arrested her everywhere.

Chen Wanqing wanted to rescue her two senior brothers, Wei Zhongxian and other sect members who were imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department, but because they had no soldiers and no generals, the spies under Na Haonan followed closely, so Chen Wanqing had to go all the way out of Beijing City and return to the White Lotus Sect General Altar.

The main altar of the White Lotus Sect is not in Phoenix City, and Shen Kefeng did not deceive Deng Haonan, in fact, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, Xu Hongru, was too cautious and deliberately said that the main altar was Phoenix City, but in fact, the real main altar was in the Immortal Ridge of Longnan Mansion.

Xu Hongru claimed to be the Holy Lord, so he naturally had to choose a place blessed by the gods. There are many myths about the Immortal Ridge since ancient times, and the local people believe that there are immortals on the Immortal Ridge, so it is just the plan of Xu Hongru to pretend to be a ghost.

The city under the Immortal Ridge is no longer as low-key as before. Now that Su Li has led 50,000 Chao Gang disciples to join the White Lotus Sect, Xu Hongru's confidence has been full, and the morale of the sect has been unprecedentedly high.

His subordinates, Wu Song, the Giant Wood Banner, Wu Liuqi, the Ruijin Banner, Tie Jin, and Cui Lie, the new deputy sect leader, as well as Yang Guang, Zhu Ayao and others persuaded Xu Hongru to rebel.

The rebellion was certain, but Xu Hongru was suppressed by the imperial army when he rebelled for the first time a few years ago, resulting in the death of his wife and son. Now that he is rebelling again, there is always a shadow in his heart.

However, many people will not calm down at this time, and Xu Hongru is no exception. Although his right-hand men Liu Erhei and Yan Bing were captured by the imperial court, this did not affect his ambitions.

The only worry is his goddaughter, the Holy Maiden.

For Chen Wanqing, Xu Hongru has another kind of thought in addition to the care that she should have as her stepfather.

Originally, according to the rules of the White Lotus Sect, Chen Wanqing was the wife of the next generation of saintess soldiers, and Xu Hongru had always thought so. But since Xu Hongru's rebellion in Shandong was suppressed a few years ago, his wife and son died in battle, so that his future successor was suddenly gone. This hit Xu Hongru hard. He wants to be the emperor, but if he doesn't have a son, then what should he do? What else is the use of the emperor? So, Xu Hongru moved the idea of renewing the house and marrying a wife.

And as Chen Wanqing gradually grew up, she was slim and beautiful like a flower, and after Xu Hongru lost the control of his wife, he started to think crookedly and wanted to marry his goddaughter Dan Madame.

For Xu Hongru, he wants to be the emperor, and the emperor naturally can't do without the queen and the harem. And he is the leader of the White Lotus Sect, according to the holy will, as a holy woman, it is for the sect leader Dan to be Mrs., every qiē is logical. The only obstacle is that Chen Wanqing is his goddaughter, which is known throughout the White Lotus Sect, and he originally planned to marry Zhu Wanqing to his son. This is also to blame Xu Hongru for being too arrogant at the beginning, thinking that the rebellion would definitely overthrow the rule of the Ming Dynasty, which resulted in the tragic death of his wife and son and became the leader of the single sect.

Now he is thinking about how to dissolve the father-daughter relationship between him and Chen Wanqing, and then he can follow the White Lotus Sect... Bathing muscles, it is logical to marry Wanqing but teach Mrs. Xin six ※

This qiē has been planned for a long time, but unfortunately it has not been able to seize the opportunity.

And although Chen Wanqing also heard some rumors, she didn't dare to imagine that this would be true at all. But there are still a lot of rumors, Zhu Wanqing left the main altar and followed Liu Erhei and Yan Bing to rescue Wei Zhongxian, and more or less wanted to avoid the embarrassment of being in the main altar.

A few days later, Chen Wanqing returned to the main altar, and the main altar had changed so much that she was surprised. Along the way, the bannermen and horses have begun to prepare the weapons and food and grass needed for the rebellion. Of course, what she saw more was preparing for the enthronement ceremony.

That's right!

Xu Hongru was instigated by his subordinates. It was decided to sacrifice to the sky and ascend the throne as the emperor first, and then the division became famous, and then sent troops to defeat the Ming Dynasty.

It looks like it has a clear eye, but the bad thing is that Fu Wanqing learned from the mouth of her cronies and brothers in the sect that Xu Hongru was ready to set her up but the queen.

This Chen Wanqing was already angry about his father-in-law's ** matter, and this time she suffered a great grievance in Beijing, plus her two senior brothers are now locked up in the prison of the Criminal Department and will die at any time, as soon as she thinks of this, her heart is extremely angry, so she went to the general altar and questioned Xu Hongru in person.

This time he fell into Xu Hongru's arms, and he was embarrassed to speak, after all, it was already a shame to marry his goddaughter when he was old. Now Chen Wanqing ran to the helm and made a big fuss. Let Xu Hongru not get off the stage in public.

Xu Hongru naturally wouldn't admit that he wanted to marry his goddaughter as a wife. At least until the relationship between the father and daughter is dissolved, he will not admit it to death.

In front of everyone, Xu Hongru arrested a few rumor-mongers on the spot and killed them to vent his anger. She was brainless, and she really believed Xu Hongru's words. "Wanqing misheard the villain's words and misunderstood her father-in-law, please punish your father-in-law!"

Chen Wanqing knelt down and begged for punishment, Xu Hongru gave Wu Song a look at the giant wooden flag next to him, Wu Song understood, and came out and said: "Zhu Wanqing, as a saint and a big rudder, has violated the canons. Meantime. As the goddaughter of the sect leader, Chen Wanqing maliciously framed the sect leader, which is a great disrespect. Moreover, Su Wanqing left the main altar without permission this time. As a result, the right envoy Liu Erhei and Houtu Qi took charge of the banner, so that Yan Bing and his subordinates failed to rescue Wei Zhongxian, and even caused Liu Erhei and his brothers to be caught by the imperial court eagle, which caused the religion to fall into a strict unfavorable state, and it was even more severe for the great cause of the religion. If you don't kill, it's not enough to calm the mouths of millions of sect members, please ask the Holy Judgment of the Sect Master! ”

As soon as the words fell, the hall suddenly gasped, and they all looked at Xu Hongru and Chen Wanqing.

Su Li and the others looked at Zhen Wanqing kneeling in the middle of the hall, although they couldn't see her face clearly, but with the observation of Su Li and the others' countless connoisseurs, just looking at her starry eyes and graceful figure, they knew that she was a stunner in the world.

"It's a pity!"

Yang Guang stared at the four convex parts of Chen Wanqing, and couldn't stop smashing his mouth.

"I don't know what the punishment of women in the White Lotus Sect is?" Zhu Ayao smiled softly in Yang Guang's ear and said, "If only it were in bed!" ”

cough

Su Li coughed lightly, glared at the two of them, and motioned for them to silence and see how Xu Hongru dealt with it.

Chen Wanqing glared at Wu Song fiercely, this guy usually instigated her stepfather, and I heard that he came up with the idea of encouraging his stepfather to marry her as his wife.

At this time, Ruijin Qi held the flag and said angrily: "Wu Song, you are so bold! Chen Wanqing is the goddaughter of the sect leader, even if there is anything wrong with Chen Wanqing, you obviously want to kill her by doing this! What is your heart? ”

Wu Song snorted coldly: "I'm for the good of the sect leader!" At present, the sect leader is about to start an incident, and in the future, the sect leader will be in the ninety-five position, and this son of heaven will be guilty of the same crime as the common people. Now that the goddaughter of the sect leader has violated the canon, if she is not severely punished, how can she establish her prestige in front of the sect? If the people under him are like Chen Wanqing who is pampered and has no rules, who will listen to the sect leader in the future? It's strange that she's the goddaughter of the sect leader, and the crime is added to the first degree, otherwise you can see that everyone knows each other on the Internet! ”

"Wu Song, you are bold!"

Xu Hongru roared at Wu Song for a long time. As a result, Wu Song was not afraid at all, Xu Hongru said calmly: "The subordinates are also for the good of the sect leader!" If there is something offensive about your subordinates, please also ask the master Haihan! ”

Chen Wanqing knew that Wu Song deliberately framed her, but she couldn't refute a word. looked at Xu Hongru and saw that Xu Hongru was very embarrassed, so he said: "Father-in-law doesn't have to be embarrassed, the responsibility of a qiē is Wanqing to bear it!" I just ask my father-in-law to quickly send someone to the capital to rescue Liu and Yan, the two senior brothers! ”

As he spoke, Chen Wanqing stood up and was about to draw his sword and carve himself. The Flame Banner made Cui Lie hurriedly step forward and take down his sword.

"Wait! Listen to me! ”

Cui Lie said: "Although the Holy Maiden has committed an unforgivable sin, she is the goddaughter of the sect leader after all.

The subordinates dare to intercede and ask the master to open up! ”

Wu Song immediately retorted, and the two fought with each other, and then Tie Jin also joined in, and several people argued for a while, until Xu Hongru's Tie Qing face stopped drinking them.

I saw Xu Hongru say with a dark face: "Since Brother Cui is pleading, then the sect leader will open the net!" ”

"Sect Master, no!" Wu Song knelt down and begged: "Tan Wanqing relies on her identity as the goddaughter of the sect leader, and she does not obey the canons, if she is not severely punished this time, I am afraid that she will not obey the sect members!" ”

"Enough!" Xu Hongru said angrily: "Do you have to force this sect leader to kill your goddaughter? ”

"The subordinates don't dare! But "

"No but!" Xu Hongru finally decided: ... Okay! The sect leader announced that he would sever the relationship between her father and daughter from now on, and if she violated the rules again in the future, she would not be pardoned! ”

Chen Wanqing trembled violently when she heard this, and it was only then that she understood that these people were just acting, and the purpose was to create excuses and steps for Xu Hongru, so that he could naturally cut off the father-daughter relationship with her.

"Teach the Tip of the Sage!"

With the shouts of everyone, Yan Wan Qing was stunned, and looked at Xu Hongru in a daze for a while, and Xu Hongru, who had been watching, was furious.

"The saint is tired, help her back to her room to rest!"

Several female disciples hurriedly came up and helped Chen Wanqing out of the hall.

Everyone present knew in their hearts that Xu Hongru had finally found an opportunity and solved the problem very decently, which really opened their eyes. Especially Su Li and others, at first they really thought it was a rumor, but now it seems that what they said is true.

Then, Xu Hongru discussed with them the details of the enthronement ceremony and the army, and then dispersed.

※※

After Su Li, Yang Guang, and Zhu Ayao left the main hall, they all went to Su Li's room to discuss things.

"What a double play!" Yang Guang couldn't stop sighing and said, "The acting is really amazing!" ”

Zhu Ayao couldn't stop nodding.

Only Su Li was very calm and said lightly: "It's nothing!" There is no need to make a fuss about the marriage of a righteous father and a daughter, there are many things in the people. It's just that Xu Hongru is the leader of the dignified White Lotus Sect, so he has to take care of his face. ”

"That's right!" Yang Guang nodded, not caring about this abundance, asking about other things.

"Right now, we have voted for the White Lotus Sect, and seeing that Xu Hongru's posture is about to become the emperor, what kind of official can the eldest brother do?" Zhu Ayao said with a smile: "Xu Hongru but the emperor, of course the eldest brother, the deputy sect leader, will be the prince at the age of nine thousand!" ”

"Go, go!" Yang Guang chirped: "Nine thousand years old is an eunuch official, and the eldest brother is almost the same as being the king of the eight sages!" ”

Su Li waved his hand and said, "Those are all false!" Only if you can overthrow the Ming Dynasty! At present, we have to firmly hold the military power, and we don't expect to get them, at least the 50,000 brothers we brought will be caught, this is our capital! ”

"Big brother, don't worry!" Zhu Ayao said very complacently: "Our brothers have been in a relationship for many years, how can it be that Xu Hongru and them can poach it?" ”

Yang Guang suddenly asked, "Big brother, can you see Xu Hongru succeed?" At present, before sending troops to rescue, I want to be the emperor, and before I am the emperor, I am thinking about my own daughter! ”

"That's it!" Zhu Ayao echoed: "A few years ago, Xu Hongru asked the government to exterminate him once, what kind of arrow is it?" ”

"A lesson from the past!"

Yang Guang replied to Zhu Ayao very helplessly, secretly begging this guy not to read books, how to be a general in the future?

"Yes, yes! What a lesson from the past! ”

Su Li nodded and said, "This Xu Hongru still has some skills!" Being able to install a Wei Zhongxian in the imperial court and lurk for more than ten years shows that he is scheming. The first incident was a bit hasty, although it was defeated, but it was enough to gather more than 100,000 people, which is not simple! ”

Yang Guang pouted and said, "Who is Wei Zhongxian, we just listened to Xu Hongru and their own blowing!" When he failed to rebel, he didn't see Wei Zhongxian to help him! ”

"That's it!" Zhu Ayao said: "It seems that Wei Zhongxian also participated in the extermination of the Eastern White Lotus Sect! ”

Su Li smiled: "Wei Zhongxian had just gained the emperor's trust at that time, how could a eunuch know the strength of the imperial court?" If it weren't for Wei Zhongxian's secret involvement, do you think Xu Hongru would have been able to run out? ”

The two nodded, also feeling very reasonable.

Su Li said again: "But then again, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, Wei Zhongxian has become a eunuch, his heart has changed greatly, and it is naturally better to follow the emperor than to follow Xu Hongru." Therefore, after gaining power, Wei Zhongxian may not be of the same mind as Xu Hongru! ”

Yang Guang nodded and said, "What the eldest brother said is true!" I heard from a couple of drunk congregants. There is indeed a hookup between Xu Hongru and Wei Zhongxian, it seems to be related to some Ming dragon vein, Zheng He's treasure and the like! ”

Su Li smiled faintly and said, "The Great Ming Dragon Vein, Zheng He's treasure, this is obviously related to Xu Hongru's rebellion. Since he wants to be the emperor, he naturally wants to overthrow the Ming Dynasty, so these disciples will obviously think that whoever digs the dragon vein of the Ming Dynasty is the true son of heaven! This is a very exciting thing for the army, Xu Hongru is so calculating! As for Zheng He's treasure, it's simpler, since you want to rebel, you have no money, no weapons, no food, and you still have a fart fight? ”

Yang Guang and Zhu Ayao said happily: "Big brother's words, the brothers suddenly opened up!" ”

The latter said: "No wonder Xu Hongru wants to send someone to the capital to come out of Wei Zhongxian, it should be for the dragon vein and treasure matter!" ”

"Xu Hongru shouldn't be in the way!" Su Li analyzed: "Otherwise, he wouldn't go to an old eunuch who was imprisoned!" ”

Yang Guang said: "Since he is not in the way, then he does not have much money for the rebellion, no wonder Xu Hongru was still a little hesitant about the rebellion at the beginning!" That's how it should be! ”

Zhu Ayao said: "Fortunately, the eldest brother didn't give all the five million taels of silver to Xu Hongru. As long as we have silver in our hands, once Xu Hongru rebels, he will have to look at our faces in terms of military spending! ”D
