The sound of firecrackers in the one-year-old except!

When the New Year comes, the whole capital is in an extremely lively atmosphere.

Although there were severe droughts and floods in many places this year, the people were seriously affected, but this did not prevent the people from celebrating the New Year.

What's more, the Duohao family in Beijing, for them, these will not have any effect.

The various yamen seemed to be much deserted.

Even the Suppression Division is now quite cold.

In the sky, snow was falling.

There was a thick layer of snow on the ground.

Beizhen Fusi,

Under the eaves of the courtyard.

The two figures stood opposite each other, and a wisp of white mist drifted from the hot tea on the table.

Yuan Changqing took a sip of tea, looked at Lin Mang who was turning over the barbecue, and couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect you to have this skill." ”

Lin Mang flipped through the barbecue and chuckled: "I just try it occasionally." ”

Yuan Changqing smiled and sighed: "It seems that you and I are alone again this year." ”

Now, most of the people in the Zhenfu Division, except for the personnel on daily duty, have gone home.

Lin Mang glanced up at him and said with a smile: "Lord Yuan, does this want to start a family?" ”

Speaking of which, he suddenly remembered something.

"Lord Yuan......" Lin Mang paused, with a smile on his face, and teased: "Have you ever failed any woman?" ”

The last time I saw Zhang Duqing of Longhu Mountain, I saw his indignant expression, and I knew that there must be a bloody story in it.

Although he is not a gossip person, he should have fun when he has nothing to do.

Yuan Changqing's face froze, he coughed dryly, and said helplessly: "It's all about young people, it's not worth mentioning." ”

"Zhang Duqing, that guy is just too cautious."

Yuan Changqing obviously didn't want to talk more about this topic, so he quickly changed the topic and asked, "What are you going to do about Shaolin?" ”

"Last time, you offended Shaolin too hard, and now Shaolin is silent, this is not like Shaolin's style."

Shaolin used to be extremely domineering.

Shaolin can become the leader of Buddhism, not because of the profundity of Buddhism, but because of its strong force.

The monks of the Shaolin Discipline Hall are also considered to be the most talkative characters in the rivers and lakes.

This time the norm has changed, and the plan is not small.

Lin Mang sneered and said unconcernedly: "I'm still afraid that they won't be able to shrink back." ”

As he was talking, Tang Qi came from outside the courtyard with a hurried expression.

"My lord, Liaodong urgent!"

Lin Mang's brows furrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Say, what's the matter?" ”

Tang Qi looked at Yuan Changqing cautiously, and said in a low voice: "There is news from Nikan Wailan, saying that the savage Jurchen has been active frequently recently, and there are signs of alliance with the Haixi Jurchen, and several Jurchen tribes have been wiped out recently. ”

"I've got a letter from Nikan Wailan, and I want to ask your opinion."

Lin Mang frowned and was silent.

For some reason, he vaguely felt that there was something wrong with this matter.

The savage Jurchens are different from the Jianzhou Sanwei in that they have always maintained a nomadic tradition.

Although these people are backward in technology, their riding and archery skills are quite not weak.

The harsh environment has created their extremely powerful combat power.

Every year in winter, the savage Jurchens would go south to rob, which has become a custom.

But the sudden union of the savage Jurchen and the Haixi Jurchen has to make people think a lot.

Ni and Kan Wailan specially reported this matter, thinking that this matter is not so simple.

Although this guy is timid and afraid, he has a lot of eyes, and he is not really stupid.

Lin Mang pondered for a moment and ordered: "Send a message to General Li of Liaodong and ask him not to pay attention to the movements of Jianzhou recently." ”

"Also, ask him to send troops to assist Nikanwailan."

"Let Nikan Wailan investigate the specific situation of the Savage Girl."

"Yes!" Tang Qi bowed down and quickly turned to leave.

Yuan Changqing put down the teacup, looked at Lin Mang, and asked, "Are you worried that there is something wrong with this matter?" ”

He also knows a thing or two about the situation in Liaodong.

After all, the last time the state was in a big uproar in Beijing.

"I don't know." Lin Mang shook his head and said in a deep voice: "I can't say the specifics." ”

"It's just a gut feeling that there's something wrong with this."

Although Nurhachi is dead, no one can guarantee that there will be no accidents.

There are no absolutes in this world.

Yuan Changqing groaned: "Maybe you're too worried, right?" ”

He knew that Lin Mang attached great importance to the matter of Liaodong.

It's just that even he wonders why Lin Mang attaches great importance to the Liaodong issue.

However, Liaodong is guarded by Li Chengliang, and with those Jurchens, they can't set off any storms.

"Hopefully."

Lin Mang stretched out his hand and pinched his eyebrows, hoping that he was too worried.

But even if there is an accident, there is still Li Chengliang in Liaodong to guard.

As long as he is there, nothing will happen to Liaodong.

……

Ningxia

Deputy Commander-in-Chief's Office,

In the lobby, a burly man of about sixty years old sat upright on a chair, with a rough face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his eyes were like those of a wild wolf.

This person is the deputy chief soldier of Ningxia, bye!

On one side of the hall sat a veiled woman dressed in white.

"How's it going?"

Bi Bai stared greedily at the woman, his gaze was extremely aggressive, and he said coldly: "I'm curious, what do you White Lotus Sect want to help me like this?" ”

Sitting at the bottom of the hall was the contemporary saint of the White Lotus Sect, Bai Wanying.

Bai Wanying chuckled lightly and said in a charming tone: "As long as the adults can succeed, please allow us in the White Lotus Sect to preach here, that's all." ”

Bibai glanced Bai Wanying up and down, slowly got up, and played with taste: "It's okay to revolt, but it's ......"

"You have to accompany me!"

As soon as the words fell, Bi Bai directly reached out and grabbed Bai Wanying.

The whole person exudes a fierce momentum like a tiger descending from the mountain, and between his gestures, he exudes an amazing evil aura.

Bai Wanying didn't panic at all, but looked at Bibai with interest.

At this moment, a black-robed figure suddenly appeared in front of her.

A hand scribbled lightly in front of Bibai.

The void rippled.

Bibai's face changed slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Lord Commander, when the matter is completed, you can have any kind of beauty you want, why be in such a hurry."

The black-robed man slowly raised his head, revealing an extremely old face, and a miserable green eye stared at Bibai, which was extremely infiltrating.

Suddenly, an extremely terrifying aura erupted, and a layer of ice crystals formed in the room.

Bibai couldn't help but take a step back, his face was instantly full of smiles, and he chuckled: "This official is just joking with the Holy Maiden. ”

"The White Lotus Sect is really strong."

"It was better to do so."

The Black Lotus Holy Envoy said astringently.

Bai Wanying glanced at Bai Bai with a smile and said softly: "Lord Commander, I wish us a successful incident in three days." ”

"Haha!"

Baba laughed out loud and said loudly, "Happy cooperation." ”

Bai Wanying glanced at Bai Bai with a smile and turned to leave.

The Black Lotus Holy Envoy glanced at him and walked out of the hall.

The two of them were on the street in an instant.

The two of them walked in the vast snow, and there were people passing by, but it was as if they couldn't see them.

"Such a fool who is greedy for beauty, I hope I don't ruin my plan."

A trace of disdain flashed in the eyes of the Black Lotus Holy Envoy.

These people in the court, the corpses are vegetarian, and they are all mediocre and incompetent.

Bai Wanying played with taste: "Lord Holy Envoy, don't underestimate him. ”

"How can this person sit all the way from a small person to the position of deputy commander-in-chief."

"Do you really think he was just lustful for beauty?"

The Black Lotus Holy Envoy frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice, "You mean, he just wanted to test our strength?" ”

Bai Wanying smiled, a hint of banter flashed in her foxy eyes, and she said: "After all, they are partners, so naturally they have to find out the strength of the other party." ”

"This guy's ambition is not small."

The Black Lotus Holy Envoy glanced at her and said coldly, "I hope there is nothing wrong with your plan." ”

"If this fails, your position as a saint will not be guaranteed."

As the Holy Envoy of the Black Lotus, her status is even higher than that of Bai Wanying, the Holy Maiden.

The composition of the White Lotus Sect is quite special.

The highest status in the White Lotus Sect is naturally the White Lotus Holy Mother, and then the Seven Lotus Holy Envoy.

Because these seven people were the protectors of Our Lady of the White Lotus when she was still a saint.

With the Holy Maiden becoming the sect leader, the status of the seven people naturally rose and they were promoted to holy envoys.

This is also a common practice within the White Lotus Sect.

Therefore, the protector of the White Lotus Sect is actually the protector of the Holy Maiden, but few people from the outside world know about this.

The position of the Holy Maiden in the White Lotus Sect was also fought for by many Holy Maiden candidates, and they went through many battles.

During this time, they also recruit henchmen who are loyal to them.

After becoming a saint, those followers become Dharma protectors.

is similar to the method of raising Gu, whether it is a saint or a protector.

However, the Dharma protectors of this generation of saints are almost dead, and most of them were killed by Lin Mang.

Bai Wanying said softly: "Inform the disciples in the sect to sneak into the city, and after the incident is over, they will attack and kill the Ming officials in the city, kill the general soldiers, and seize the military power." ”

"Also, we must get rid of the spies of Dongchang and Jinyiwei."

"We have to buy enough time for the court to react."

The Black Lotus Holy Envoy bowed slightly, and his figure gradually disappeared until he completely disappeared into the wind and snow.

"Huh!"

Bai Wanying suddenly laughed, looked at the sky, and muttered, "Lin Mang, I wonder if you will come?" ”

"I've got a net for you!"

Bai Wanying chuckled and stepped barefoot in the wind and snow.

Her eyes were full of hatred, exuding an extremely cold aura.

At the beginning, she could be described as nine deaths.

The people around looked at the departing figure, and their hearts were in a trance, and the whole person seemed to be immersed in it.

……

In the General Army's Palace,

Bibai stood in place, quietly looking at the wind and snow outside the house, and his face had long since lost the previous greedy color.

In the back hall, a young man with a tiger's back and a full stomach stepped out and said respectfully: "Father, do you really believe them? ”

"The people of the White Lotus Sect are the best at demagoguery, and when they came to us this time, they were afraid that they wanted to take advantage of us."

"Of course I know." Bibai didn't care, "I also need their strength." ”

Bibai said coldly: "These Han people look down on us from the bottom of their bones. ”

"Now I still have military power, but once I become a leader, I will inevitably be suppressed."

"If this happens, we can completely occupy the land of Ningxia."

"Even if you fail, you can retreat to Mongolia."

The glint of ambition in Bibai's eyes burned like a fire.

Although he is a general, he fights all the way and must take the lead in every battle, but because he is not Han, he can only serve as the deputy chief soldier in the end.

Why?

Since the court is unfair, then he will fight for justice for himself.

The appearance of the White Lotus Sect was just an advance of his plan.

Bibai said in a deep voice: "Secretly gather our henchmen tonight, take the city in three days, once something happens, we must take the lead in attacking the total military mansion, and then send troops to occupy the entire Ningxia." ”

Cheng En saw that his father had made up his mind, so he stopped persuading.

It's just that he feels that cooperating with the White Lotus Sect is still too risky.

……

Beizhen Fusi,

Lin Mang was dealing with official business, and Tang Qi suddenly broke into the room with an eager face.

In the past, he would have knocked on the door, but this time he didn't care.

"Your Excellency!"

Tang Qi took a deep breath and said quickly: "I just received an urgent report from the Flying Eagle of Ningxia Jinyiwei that Ningxia Bibai raised troops to rebel!" ”

"Bibai has led the Mongol tribes southward, and now it occupies most of Ningxia's territory."

As he spoke, Tang Qi presented a secret report.

In fact, long before, Lin Mang had sent people to Ningxia to collect evidence about the crime.

These people are from Beizhen Fusi, and they are not under the jurisdiction of Ningxia Jinyiwei.

And the White Lotus Sect didn't know about the existence of these people, which was why the news could be sent.

Lin Mang's brows furrowed slightly, and he took the secret report and hurriedly glanced at it.

"White Lotus Sect!"

According to the secret letter, the White Lotus Sect was involved in this rebellion.

He didn't expect this to be so much in advance.

Now that the White Lotus Sect is involved, I think the local Jinyi Wei and Dongchang spies should have been almost eliminated.

This was the case with the Jiangxi and Huguang rebellions at the beginning.

Lin Mang pulled his cloak and said in a deep voice: "Recall all the Jinyi guards who are on vacation, tell Yan Jue, and let him take people to take the first step and go to Ningxia." ”

"Be sure to find out the situation in Ningxia."

"I'll go to the palace!"

Lin Mang hurried all the way to the palace.

……

Outside the dormitory,

The two eunuchs stretched out their hands to stop Lin Mang.

"Lord Lin, Your Majesty is taking a lunch break, please wait outside the palace."

These two are not ordinary eunuchs, but masters who belong to the East Factory.

Lin Mang glanced at the two of them and said in a deep voice: "Please inform Your Majesty that this official has something important to ask to see." ”

The two of them were unmoved, and one sneered: "Lord Lin, let's go back." ”

"Your Majesty is taking a lunch break, and no one can disturb you."

It stands to reason that Jinyiwei has a good relationship with Jinyiwei and Jinyiwei, even if His Majesty is taking a lunch break, they should also pass it on to the eunuchs in the palace, but who makes Dongchang have a bad relationship with Jinyiwei.

At this moment, the two of them had the intention of deliberately delaying.

A hint of banter flashed in one person's eyes, and he teased: "Lord Lin, either you want to go back, or just wait here slowly." ”

Lin Mang's expression suddenly turned cold.

In an instant, he reached out, like a dragon out of the sea and took off, mighty.

Lin Mang grabbed a eunuch by the neck, lifted him up, and smashed it into the ground.

"Peng!"

The hard stone slab shattered in an instant.

This sudden scene stunned everyone.

The soldiers all around surrounded him, looking wary.

It's taboo to do it in the palace.

If it weren't for the fact that the person who did it was the Jinyi Guard's envoy, the surrounding soldiers would have already swarmed up at this moment.

Soon, the door of the palace opened, and an old eunuch walked out and said in a cold voice: "Who dares to make trouble outside the palace?" ”

Seeing that it was Lin Mang, the old eunuch arched his hand and said, "I've seen Lord Lin." ”

Lin Mang arched his hand and said: "Please also ask your father-in-law to tell Your Majesty that I have something to do." ”

The old eunuch pondered for a moment, then arched his hand and said, "Please wait a moment, Lord Lin." ”

Soon, the old eunuch walked out again, bowed slightly, and said, "Lord Lin, please." ”

Lin Mang walked quickly into the hall and arched his hand: "See Your Majesty." ”

Behind the table, Zhu Yijun asked with a smile: "You are in such a hurry to enter the palace, what's the matter?" ”

"Your Majesty." Lin Mang said in a deep voice: "The minister has just received a message from Jinyi Wei Feiying that Ningxia Bibai raised troops to rebel. ”

"Now it has joined forces with the Mongol army and swept over most of the territory."

The smile on Zhu Yijun's face disappeared in an instant, and turned gloomy.

"These rebels and thieves!"

Zhu Yijun's expression was gloomy.

Not long ago, Jiangxi and Huguang rebelled, and now there is a Ningxia rebellion, isn't everyone so dissatisfied with him being the emperor?

"Peng!" Zhu Yijun dropped his pen angrily and said coldly: "Summoning hundreds of officials into the court and discussing matters!" ”

As an emperor, one of the most inadmissible things is rebellion.

……

When Lin Mang returned to Beizhen Fusi, Yuan Changqing was already waiting in the hospital.

"Lord Yuan!"

Yuan Changqing's face was solemn and asked, "What does Your Majesty say?" ”

Lin Mang shook his head and said, "Your Majesty has summoned a hundred officials to discuss the matter, and the specific situation is not yet clear. ”

In the affairs of the court, as a brocade guard, he is not qualified to meddle.

Yuan Changqing was silent.

Ningxia is different from Huguang Jiangxi, this place is located on the border, the geographical location is special, once Ningxia is lost, the Mongolian army can use this as a springboard, a big move south.

This year, in particular, there have been major droughts, serious floods, and the state treasury has been tightened.

If there is a resumption of war, taxes will inevitably be raised, which is tantamount to adding insult to injury for the people.
