Chapter 44: Yong'an Emperor Benji (II)
When Rouge Tiger heard this, he couldn't help it, covered his mouth, and laughed softly. The two brocade-clothed officials next to Lu Bing, although their faces were strained, the corners of their mouths were twitching slightly. Yan Hong grinned even more and made a strange appearance.
In the laughter, Zhang Cai actually had a smug expression on his face, and continued to explain.
Let's say that Wang Niu'er caught the traitor, but he believed Zhang Cai's nonsense. Not only did he obediently offer his stepwife's hands, but he also told his neighbors about this strange incident, telling the miracle of his nephew's true destiny in this life. So in the small village, the neighbors talked to each other and talked about it.
That Zhang passed the current hurdle first, and saw that Uncle Wang actually believed it, and the neighbors on the left were paying attention to the onlookers, it seemed that no matter how low-key he was, he couldn't hide it.
He simply didn't do anything, so he struck while the iron was hot, bought some household goods, found a so-called auspicious day of the zodiac, and openly set up an altar in the village.
It is interesting to say, he thinks that according to the teachings of the White Lotus Sect, there is no old mother, Maitreya came to the world, and he should pretend to be a monk. But the monk sleeps with a woman and marries a wife? This is too unreasonable.
Therefore, Zhang Cai thought about it and changed to a plausible Taoist dress.
Next, Zhang Cai gave many wonderful performances, what oil pot stretched out, unharmed; What is the drawing charm to catch ghosts, and the imps appear; What kind of fried ghost in the oil pan, the ghost cries wolf...... Completely frightened a group of honest villagers, really this is the true dragon Tianzi Nether, with great magical powers of Allah.
It is not surprising that although Zhang Cai's methods seem ridiculously inferior today, just 20 years ago, in the rural areas of our country, there were witches and gods who relied on similar methods to deceive people with money.
Even in the 21st century, with a slight change in other similar names, there may not be fewer magic sticks to deceive people and money, but the banner has become "science".
As for the ordinary people in the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, they were simple by nature and had no basic education, so wouldn't it be normal to be deceived?
In addition, that Zhang has only traveled south and north, and he is indeed well-informed. He also has the technique of drawing talismans to cure diseases, and he already knows some medical skills, and he can also be optimistic about some of the general minor disasters and diseases.
It just so happened that the only rich man in the village, Mr. Wang, was infected with a problem, and was poured down by Zhang Cai, who found some herbs, and drew a sword in the house, so that Mr. Wang and his wife stripped naked, painted some strange symbols on their bodies, and jumped in Zhang Cai's chanting.
After such a toss, it is about the psychological effect and fresh stimulation, and the problem of not lifting is cured. It's a big deal. Master Wang is just a rich man who has never entered the county, he believes in Zhang Cai through and through, not only respects him as the emperor, but also gives up his house and makes the Jinluan Palace for Zhang Cai.
Mr. Wang returned to the land, but he was the richest man in the village. So driven by the herd effect, the whole village bowed three times and worshipped, and the mountain shouted long live. That Zhang Cai officially established the country as Tianyou, the emperor named Yong'an, and Yongpingzhuang has since become a country within a country.
When the new emperor ascended the throne, he naturally wanted to reward him lavishly. Even if there is no way to break the soil and feudalism, it is necessary to set up hundreds of officials and ministers, which are not only rewarding meritorious service, but also the cornerstone of the empire.
So, Wang Niuer took care of the queen meritoriously and made him the generalissimo of soldiers and horses; There are two people in the village who know the words, and the left and right prime ministers are sealed.
Others, such as farmers who farm, tenants and long-term workers of the old lady Wang, are also generals, or Shangshu, or 10,000 households, for a time, everyone has to be sealed, and everyone has an official. It is also difficult for Zhang Cai to be well-informed and reward the official names of several dynasties together. Anyway, the dishes on the plate are all vegetables, and these big officials don't need fiefdoms or fiefdoms, and the more the merrier.
That Wang Li naturally became the queen of the main palace, and with her remarrying Wang Niuer's two daughters, Dani and Erni became Princess Dani and Princess Erni.
It's just that this Princess Erni doesn't stop, relying on a tender body to scrape the skin and flesh, a pair of peach blossom eyes that are better than her mother's relatives, and she likes handsome men the most. As soon as she became a princess, she immediately divorced her original five big and three thick horses, and remarried a pretty one. Not long after, the pretty colt died again for no apparent reason.
Everyone was afraid of the emperor's supernatural powers, and the former second concubine who was Hugh considered himself unlucky, and was made up for by the emperor's official title of general Zuo, so he was relieved. As for the dead ghost's successor to the second horse, even his own family members said that it must be that this kid has a shallow life and can't stand the dragon species of golden branches and jade leaves, what else can others say?
Princess Erni is a romantic character. Since her husband died, she let go of her hands and feet, hooked up with this, seduced that, messed up the court, and did everything. Those peasants who had never been out of the village in their lives became generals, Shangshu, Sima, Wanhu, and Shangdafu overnight, and that kind of psychological satisfaction was already bursting. is eating the wild vegetables and multigrain porridge in the bowl, and between the anticipations, he suddenly has the prestige of the pillars of the court. There is also the young one, who is a general during the day, and has the opportunity to press the princess high above him at night to have a good time, and he feels that he is really living a fairy life.
As a result, everyone said that the Heavenly Blessed Imperial Kingdom is really a paradise on earth.
Zhang Cai himself called himself the emperor internally, and became the governor externally. Occasionally, people came to the county, and he came forward to receive them. He does not owe grain or taxes in this pseudo-dynasty, and no one reports it, and the people in the village never leave the village, occasionally go out, and strictly abide by the emperor's decree, and dare not confide half a word, for fear of being struck by the thunder.
Therefore, in the five and a half months since the founding of the People's Republic of China, there has been no rumor of leaving the country.
It's just that not long ago, there was a White Lotus Elder Li Zixin who came here to look for Zhang Cai. At the beginning, Zhang Cai only thought that Elder Li personally came to clean up the portal and clean up the traitors, and he was frightened that the first Buddha was born and the second Buddha ascended to heaven.
When you want to start the soldiers and horses in the country to resist, with these few strong men in Yongpingzhuang, they really compete with the White Lotus Sect that kills and protects the sect, that is to hit the stone with an egg! Not to mention the several elders of the White Lotus Sect, each of them has unique skills, which are not comparable to ordinary croppers.
Who knew that when Elder Li met and talked about it, it turned out to be different. Elder Li only informed him that the White Lotus Sect had settled down on the Mongolian border, gathered 100,000 people, and was very prosperous. Since Zhang Cai had already laid a foundation in Yongpingzhuang, he forgave him for the sin of not leaving the team, and was entrusted with the important task of being the incense master of the Jingxi branch of the White Lotus Sect, and this rudder was a secret rudder, and there was no need to teach in public.
Elder Li also said that there would be a major event in Shandong in the near future, and that someone would come to him and ask him to help him with all his might. He also left 3,000 taels of silver, and ordered him to hold this silver tael and buy rice and grain from the Jingshi, without mistake.
After saying that, Elder Li left by himself. Before leaving, he also left a sentence: "As long as you serve faithfully and wait for my Holy Sect to achieve great things, if you want to be the emperor of a small country in Hebei, it will be easy!" ”
This Yongping Zhuang Zhuang is small and thin, even the rich man Wang doesn't have much money, although he has the heart to repay, but he can't afford to donate. Therefore, Emperor Zhang Cai's life is not very rich, and he has to hesitate to eat meat occasionally.
This windfall fell from the sky, and the whole family was happy. Zhang Cai's ambition has also come up, but if it is really God's eyes, he is expected to sit in Jinluan.
Princess Nadani is honest and has nothing to say; Princess Erni said that she should have a reward for this princess, and asked her cheap father for a reward of one hundred taels of silver, and went to Beijing to buy rice and grain, and said that she would find a big family to donate money for her father.
Zhang Cai got the silver from the White Lotus Sect, his heart was full of joy, and he was already dizzy. When he heard Princess Erni's words, he felt reasonable. I expected that my cheap daughter looked lovely and coquettish enough, so it must be no problem to hook up with one or two rich people in the capital.
As for the rich people in the capital, are they all as easy to fool as the king of Yongping Zhuang? What's there. Does the rich man of Jingshi have one more eye? As long as you go to the village and see your supernatural powers, are you afraid that he will bow if he doesn't bow his head?
If he has reinforcements in the capital division, when he does great things in the future, he will have more help, not to mention that in terms of wealth alone, the rich man of the capital division is much richer than the rich man himself, and the silver can be fooled more......
Lu Bing, who had been expressionless all the time, heard this, and slapped the table and said:
"Big deal? Shandong? What's the big deal? If you don't recruit it from the truth, don't you see the coffin and don't cry? Do you have to try my Jinyiwei's eighteen methods before I confess? ”
When Zhang Cai was in the White Lotus Sect, he had already heard of the horror of Jinyiwei's eighteen punishments, and he was so frightened that he was urinating, "Back to the old man, I really don't know the little one." Elder Li doesn't trust me very much, how can he be willing to tell me all the big things? The boss is a good idea, the old man is a good idea. ”
Lu Bing said again: "Oh? Then let me ask you, what kind of magic powers do you use to bewitch the villagers, and what's going on? ”
As soon as these words came out, even Sun Yuerong's eyes lit up.
Although she has been in the green forest for a long time, she is not familiar with the various methods of the White Lotus Sect. The bandit and the white lotus have no dealings with each other, and they don't know much about each other's methods. I only know that the other party has great powers, but I don't know how to do it.
Now when I heard that the mortal fetus in the flesh could actually put my hands into the boiling oil without injury, and what kind of ghost hunting and ghost bombing were there, I suddenly came to my senses.
Zhang Cai is also a god, and his temper has not changed, and he said proudly at the moment:
"Back to the old man, this magic spell is not fake. The small one does have a technique, but this technique is a heaven-sent secret method, which can only be used to eliminate disasters and misfortunes and benefit one party, and cannot be used to fight with mortals and kill the enemy. Otherwise, with your old 100 official schools, you may not be able to help me. If you don't believe me, untie my ropes, and I'll do it on the spot. ”
Yan Hong couldn't hold back at this time, and sneered: "Is your method amazing?" The art of fools is worthless. Lu Shibo, don't ask this magic stick, the little nephew will show you later! ”
When Lu Bing heard this, his eyes lit up.
Jin Yiwei has arrested a lot of White Lotus Sect members over the years, but most of them are the lowest-level disciples. These believers only believe in this legendary secret method of magic as a god in their hearts, but they do not know the inside story of it. When tortured, even if he was beaten half to death, he only insisted that it was indeed the masters above who would have magical powers. And the disciples of the level of the incense lord have killed a lot before, and basically have never caught them alive, so they don't know anything.
Lu Bing didn't believe in the nonsense of the White Lotus Church's spells at all, if he really had a spell, would he be defeated by the officers and soldiers of the imperial court every time? But how exactly it fooled the people, we don't know anything.
Hearing Yan Hong's tone, it seemed that he was clear about the details, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed. Looking at Zhang Cai, who was tied, he couldn't ask anything, so he waved his hand lightly and ordered the prisoner to be taken down, just waiting for Yan Hong's practice
