The White Lotus Sect has a long history, it has existed in the Southern Song Dynasty, at first it was a branch of Buddhism, worshipping Amitabha Buddha, and then after the development and reproduction of successive dynasties, its teachings have gradually changed, no matter how noble and pure the slogans they preach, the real purpose is only one, that is...... Rebel.

It seems to be a sect born for rebellion, and since the Southern Song Dynasty, it has been politically denied and affirmed by successive imperial courts, and then denied, and has since become a cult organization,...... Speaking of conscience, I really can't blame it for its hostility to the imperial court, which has been banned and opened by the imperial courts of previous dynasties, opened and banned, and I don't remember how many times, it is a person who will be stimulated into a nervous disorder.

There is no natural thief in the world, and those who have aspirations often have to go through countless failures before they can succeed.

The White Lotus Sect initially rebelled and failed many times, starting a business can be described as difficult, the business can be described as bleak, small fights, repeatedly hitting the wall, just gerging up the rebellion was by the ruler with a big ear scraper to split the head and cover the brain, after countless failures, the sky is pitiful, and finally there is a success.

Unfortunately, the successful White Lotus Sect did not take advantage of it, because it was engaged in partnership trading, in addition to itself, there was also Mingjiao also invested in the shares, the Red Turban Army came into being, the world was in chaos, the rebels were everywhere, and the White Lotus Sect finally tasted the taste of success, so it was not happy to attack the city and plunder the land, kill people and set fire.

It's a pity that happy times are always short-lived, and the White Lotus Sect, who thought that he was about to sit in the Dragon Court, forgot that its partner was not a good man, especially since there was an ugly-looking but ambitious character in it. His name is Zhu Yuanzhang.

What happened later is well known, Zhu Yuanzhang not only kicked the White Lotus Sect off the chairman's position, but even the Mingjiao from which he himself was born was also characterized as a cult organization and banned, and the great achievements made by the two major shareholders for decades were fully accepted by Zhu Yuanzhang, and the whole world was surnamed Zhu from then on, and the White Lotus Sect fell from the altar of victory into the hell of defeat.

Learning from the pain and being indomitable, this is the manifestation of the White Lotus Sect after defeat. It still carried out its great cause of rebellion unrelentingly, and created a rebellion in the Southern Song Dynasty. The rebellion of the Yuan Dynasty was created. Now continue to rebel against the Ming Dynasty, and in the doctrine they propagandize, any emperor in any court is heinous, and no one in this world can be an emperor. Except for themselves.

Thereupon. The Ming Dynasty began on the first day of its founding. There is one more serious trouble in my heart, this damn cult is overgrown like weeds, and this one is pulled out and the other is popping up again. It can't be eliminated no matter how it is removed, and it is deeply hated by the Ming court.

Hearing that the head of the East Factory was killed and injured in Tianjin, Qin Kan's face became solemn.

He didn't forget that his confidant Ding Shun was also sent by him to Tianjin to investigate the White Lotus Sect, and the big stalls in the East Factory that had been through the storm for a long time were all planted, can Ding Shun please him?

Dongchang and Jinyiwei were not harmonious in the past, the main reason in addition to mutual restraint, there is another reason, that is, the overlap of their respective functions, Jinyiwei can check the things, the East Factory can also check, often a thing Jinyiwei just checked, the East Factory will follow, the two check one thing, who first find out who will go to the boss to receive credit, over time it is inevitable to have conflicts.

The same is true for the investigation of the White Lotus Sect, Jinyiwei and Dongchang each sent a large number of people to Tianjin, but this time it was not that Dai Yi intended to get along with Qin Kan, but because of the overlapping of duties, the matter involved rebellion, and the White Lotus Sect was a major problem for the Ming Emperors of the past dynasties, and Dai Yi could not fail to investigate.

"Father-in-law Dai, you said that your big stall head was killed and injured, how were they stabbed?" Qin Kan asked solemnly.

Dai Yi sighed and said: "The White Lotus Sect has made trouble more than once or twice in my Ming Dynasty, and the slave and maid didn't take it too seriously when the fan reported it, and sent a few capable foremen out of Beijing to investigate the case, but as soon as they arrived in Tianjin, they were assassinated in the sedan chair by the White Lotus Sect, and the slave and maid finally felt that this group of White Lotus Sect disciples was not simple, so they sent two big stall heads out of the city, but they didn't check it for a few days in Tianjin, but they were ambushed by the White Lotus Sect in the dark alley, and the two big stall heads were killed and injured......

Qin Kan was silent, at this moment he began to worry about Ding Shun's safety, and wanted to order Ding Shun to return to Beijing halfway, but after thinking about it, he finally held back.

Dai Yi continued: "Master Hou, judging from the sporadic news that came back from Dongchang one after another, the White Lotus Sect in Tianjin is not simple, look at their slogans to incite the people, carefully designed ambushes, accurate and ruthless killing moves, this group of people is not very different from those rabble in the past, if it takes time for them to become a climate in Tianjin, I am afraid it will be difficult to clean up, at that time, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military all blamed our factory for poor guards, Liu Jin's old miscellaneous is waiting to take the pigtails of Hou Ye and the slaves......"

Qin Kan nodded and said: "What Father-in-law Dai said is very true, in the past, the factory guard was not in harmony, just because there was a deep grudge between the overseer of the East Factory and the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Ben Hou and Father-in-law Dai are their own family, of course, they are intimate, then, the relationship between Dongchang and Jinyiwei should also be intimate, what does Grandpa Dai think?" ”

Dai Yi nodded again and again with a smile on his face: "Hou Ye said that the slave and maid are in the heart, today the slave and maid came to find Hou Ye, isn't it just for this matter, Hou Ye, the slave and maid think, the factory guard will be a real family in the future, we are all eagle dogs under His Majesty, and the eagle dogs are in the same breath with each other, can they fight for power and profit?" ”

Qin Kan said with a smile: "In this way, we might as well take the investigation of the Tianjin White Lotus Sect as a new beginning for the factory guards, all the information and clues about this case, as well as the deployment of manpower, the mutual cooperation of actions, etc., the East Factory and the Jinyi Guard can completely communicate with each other, and with one heart and one mind, we will not worry that the White Lotus Sect will not be exterminated." ”

Dai Yi nodded again and again and said with a smile: "What Master Hou said is exactly the truth, and the slave and maid also mean this, the factory guards join forces, their profits are cut off, and the two strands of rope are twisted into one, no matter how powerful the White Lotus Sect is, it can't escape the pursuit of the factory guards." ”

Qin Kan smiled happily: "Father-in-law Dai understands the righteousness and takes into account the overall situation, he is simply the pillar of the celebrant supervisor,...... You really don't plan to stab Liu Jin to death? Think again......"

****************************************************************

That night, two fast horses galloped out of Beijing at the same time and galloped towards Tianjin.

Immediately, the two knights were subordinate to Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and each of them carried a secret letter from the commander of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and the two leaders in charge of the largest spy agency of the Ming Dynasty issued an order with the same content to their subordinates: Factory and Guard work together to suppress the White Lotus.

…………

…………

The ministers who gathered Chengtianmen still did not want to disperse, they were waiting, waiting for the emperor's resistance, and then they rushed up again, like wolves devouring tigers, they would end up or dismiss or exile or court staff, no matter what the outcome, it was a rich asset for their political future, they could be promoted again after dismissal, and they could be recalled after exile, under the guise of justice, they even dared to kill people and set fires, why were they afraid of violating Tianyan? In the eyes of this group of civil officials, Tianyan is used to offend.

To the surprise of all the ministers, a little eunuch hurriedly ran out of the middle palace, and after running to Chengtian Gate to catch his breath, in front of all the ministers, the little eunuch slowly unfolded a roll of yellow silk and read out Zhu Houzhao's edict in a subdued tone.

After reading it, the little eunuch didn't raise his eyelids, turned around and went back to the palace.

The ministers were surprised, looked at each other, and found each other's faces sad and lost.

His Majesty's ...... How can you really sin against yourself? You're resisting! Resist! If you don't resist us, where does the pleasure come from?

An edict of guilt was made in all directions, although at a glance it was not written by His Majesty, but must have been drafted by a certain eunuch who wrote on behalf of His Majesty, but after all, it was issued in the name of His Majesty. The edict is different from other edicts, after the edict is issued in the middle palace, it must be issued to the general political envoy to all towns in the world, so that the people know the remorse of His Majesty the Emperor of the Dao Dao.

The ministers were very disappointed, such a faceless thing The young emperor actually endured it? I can't bear it if I'm you......

The ministers who gathered in Chengtianmen were only bent on making a name for themselves, but they ended up punching the cotton, which made everyone feel very unwilling.

No way! More than 30 lives, a small edict for oneself is just a matter of it? …… It's not over!

After a brief silence, the ministers dispersed in twos and threes, and an even greater storm was brewing.

****************************************************************

Five days later, the Queen Mother had her birthday.

Zhu Houzhao had already decreed that on the day of the birthday, all the nobles and civil and military officials above the fourth rank in Beijing would enter the Cining Palace to congratulate the old empress dowager on her birthday.

Early in the morning, before dawn, the deacon and eunuch commanded the little eunuch to push the waterwheel, from the noon gate all the way to the Qianqing Palace and then to the Cining Palace, sprinkling water all the way to clean, and then the scarlet carpet was spread from the noon gate to the Cining Palace, and the long carpet stretched for several miles.

The palace is full of lights, and the huge "Shou" character in various fonts can be seen everywhere in the palace, and the eunuchs and palace maids put on new clothes, piled up smiles on their faces, and are full of joy.

At the end of the day, the palace gate was opened, and the hundreds of officials waiting outside the Chengtian Gate followed the loud roll call of the eunuchs, and the nobles and ministers lined up according to their ranks and entered the palace.

Qin Kan is also in the crowd of people who enter the palace to worship his birthday, he is a hereditary Marquis of Shanyin, naturally belongs to a member of the nobles, and the ranking is quite high, in the honors of Beijing, the British Gong Zhang Mao led the noble team, followed by the princes of the country, and then the marquis headed by Qin Kan, in terms of qualifications, Qin Kan is naturally not comparable to those old marquis who have been handed down from generation to generation, but if you talk about the emperor's favor, Qin Kan is a well-deserved first, all the marquis are extraordinary people, and they have politely ranked Qin Kan in the first person at the marquis level.
