Muzhou, Qingxi County.

Fang La, the leader of the Ming Sect, did three things after the winter.

All three of these events were caused by his reading of history.

If you want to do something earth-shattering, you must plan carefully, although Mingjiao can be the foundation for his troubles, but he also knows that not everyone in the world will believe in Mingjiao.

There was an emperor in the Zhao Song Dynasty who said it well, there was a golden house in the book, and there were thousands of Zhongsu in the book, so he wanted to find some ways to be popular from the history books.

He read that King Chen of the Qin Dynasty raised troops, and he first got the handwriting of the Book of Heaven from the belly of the fish, saying that he should be the king, and everyone around him believed it, and then there was a god who called King Chen Sheng at night, and then he pulled the flag to rebel, and rose up, and there were tens of thousands of people who responded to him.

I also read that Zhang Jiao, the heavenly master of the Later Han Dynasty, raised troops, and took the book of heaven as an excuse, and the three brothers assumed the positions of the prince of heaven, the prince of the earth, and the prince of people, and almost won the world of the Han Dynasty.

Fang La pondered and meditated on this, and came up with a few clever plans.

One morning after the winter, Fang La took a group of Mingjiao disciples to the Qingshiping in front of the Gangyuan Cave to conduct military exercises, passing by a valley mouth, he suddenly raised his head and shouted in a deep voice: "Isn't this the Immortal Cave Mansion?" ”

Everyone looked up in the direction of his finger, only to see the valley mouth auspicious clouds, the bones inside the purple mist released, the valley mouth was covered by more than a dozen ancient pines, like a canopy, the sun sprinkled down from the pine branches and leaves, fell in the clouds, dyed the fog into a purple mist clouds, the end is the glow of the ten thousand ways, the color of the thousands, very spectacular.

All the disciples clapped their hands and praised, and said in unison: "It's beautiful, I've never seen auspicious clouds here in previous years, such a beautiful scenery!" ”

Seeing this, Fang Nineteen, the Crane King next to him, said: "I remember, there is a cave on the wall of this valley mouth, I heard the old man in the village say that the immortal Lu Dongbin used to practice here, isn't it that there is a treasure born in it recently, so it releases auspicious clouds and purple mist?" ”

Fang Lawu pondered: "Why don't I go up and have a look, and also taste the blessing of the eyes." ”

After that, he led the way in front, followed everyone behind, climbed vines and attached trees, and finally climbed the valley mouth and got into the purple auspicious clouds.

Where are the auspicious clouds above, it is simply a heavy fog, and it seems that it is a light rain, soaking the clothes wet, and an ancient hole appears in the stone wall below the ancient pine.

Fang La's big purple sleeves waved, flying the branches, shattering the thorn bushes, and when he got into it first, he walked about ten steps away, and a stone bed appeared in front of him, and a wooden box wrapped in yellow silk was placed on the stone bed.

He was immediately pleasantly surprised: "This must be given by the immortals, let's not open it first, wait for tonight's Jingyi Conference, open it in public, is it a curse or a blessing, let all the brothers know at the same time, and it also seems that we are teaching selflessly." ”

That night, the Jingyi Conference, the messengers of each village and the village taught the capital to arrive, Fang La ordered people to take out the yellow silk box for the statue of Mingzun, this day is one of the five Dharma kings of the black-haired tiger king Zheng Biao on duty, first burn incense and pray, silently bow has been completed, personally clean hands to open the box.

Open the treasure box to see, there is nothing else in the box, it is a yellow paper book, its words are tadpole small seal text, extremely difficult to identify, Zheng Biao looked at it for a long time, surprised and delighted, and shouted in a rough voice: "There is a sentence written on this day, waiting for me to read and listen to everyone, it is written that Fang La, the person who got the book of heaven, is the prince of heaven came to the world.......

The leaders and disciples of the sect cheered and thundered for a while, and since then, Fang La's prestige has been higher, and everyone respects it.

The second thing is that early one morning, Fang Fei took people to accompany Fang La to the lacquer garden, and when crossing Tongxi, Fang Fei suddenly exclaimed: "Holy Father, look, I saw your figure in the stream wearing a dragon robe and a crown, ah...... The Holy Father turned out to be the Emperor! ”

Fang La leaned over to take a look, only to see a square face in the clear stream, tall, dressed like the old self, no different from usual.

At this time, Fang Nineteen next to him hurriedly said, "The Holy Father is indeed wearing the imperial robe and the crown on his head!" ”

Fang La smiled, then stopped speaking, and looked left and right at the stream, and straightened out the old clothes, as if he was really wearing a dragon robe.

Fang Nineteen shouted as he ran: "The Holy Father is the Emperor, the Holy Father is the Emperor!" ”

Within a few days, everyone in Qingxi knew about it, and later it was called "Linxi Gu Ying, and he saw that his crown was like a king".

The third thing, before a lecture on the scriptures, Wang Lao Buddha, who had retired as the left envoy of light, suddenly arrived, holding a silver and white long beard and said to the believers: "Yesterday in the middle of the night, I watched the sky at night, and saw a star in the sky falling on the Wannian Tower of Zitongyuan, Zitongyuan is the holy land of the Son of Heaven and the emperor, and the Wannian Building has a royal vein. ”

In fact, there is a saying in this Wannian Building, in the Yonghui period of Tang Gaozong, there was a strange woman in Muzhou, named Chen Shuozhen, who claimed to be the Nine Heavens Xuannu in the sky, and Taishang Laojun accepted apprentices, so he called himself "Emperor Wenjia", and led the people to rebel with the Liujia Forty-eight Party in the Covered Boat Mountain in Qingxi County, Muzhou.

Later, although Chen Shuozhen failed, this matter had a great impact, especially in the Muzhou area, and since then there has been a legend of the Son of Heaven, the nine locks of the stone gate, the emperor has come and gone, the Wannian Building, Mount Meru, the Covered Boat Mountain, and the legend of the main peak of the ship.

Wannian Building is in Chen Shuozhen's hometown Zitongyuan, which has fallen into disrepair and has become a wild stage.

Everyone present was surprised to hear what Wang Lao Buddha said, so they took a break from the scriptures and went to Zitongyuan Wannian Building to see, and after staying on the Wannian Building, they all held their breath and looked around, at this time, Wang Gong Lao Buddha pointed to the beam and said: "There seems to be a thunder scorch mark on this beam, which one goes up to see?" “

Everyone looked up, the beam was more than three or four feet from the ground, about three feet thick, it was difficult for an adult to hug, and the pattern of the dragon and the sea of clouds was finely carved, and there was a scorched mark on it, like thunder.

Chen Fan said on the side: "Wait for me to go up and take a look!" Before he finished speaking, he climbed up to the beam of the dragon and the sea of clouds like an ape, and after a while, the thick dust fell, and suddenly shouted: "Sure enough, there is an object!" ”

Everyone was waiting with their necks tilted up, and they said in unison, "Take it down and take a look!" “

Chen Fan hung upside down as an ape and handed down the rectangular object covered with dusty yellow satin in his hand.

Fang Jiu took his hands firmly, opened the package and saw that it was an old copy of the "Ming Zun Sutra", only to see a talisman drawing on the title page of the yellow table: a canopy-like umbrella-roofed house was burning with a raging fire, and tens of millions of people were surging, but one person was tall and outstanding, holding a torch.

On the second page, four lines of poetry are neatly written:

The wood of the treasure cover has decayed, and the grass and trees are burning in autumn.

The hundred gods of the wax sacrifice came out of the Holy Father, and the Yuan Yuan was the first of all the people!

After Fang 19 recited, he respectfully handed it to the old Buddha Wang Gong.

Wang Gong Lao Buddha took a look, was overjoyed, and said loudly: "This is a talisman!" Fang is the current Song Dynasty, the Holy Father is really the Son of Heaven! “

At this time, some of the leaders present were puzzled, and Fang Fei explained the meaning of this poem on the side, which was an omen that the Song Dynasty had decayed and was going to be burned, and the Emperor of Zhao and Song Dynasty would be exiled everywhere like a lost dog, and the Holy Father should be the leader of everyone. ”

Wang Gong Lao Buddha said: "Since the sect leader has obtained the heavenly book talisman, we should support the sect leader as the king, from now on, all my Ming sect members will respect the holy prince as the emperor, what do you think?" ”

Fang La's face was humble at this moment and he was about to excuse himself, but everyone leaned over and saluted together, shouting in unison: "I have seen the Holy Emperor!" ”

Fang La had no choice but to let out a long sigh, raised and put down his hands: "Since the will of heaven is like this, I have no choice but to accept it, I will live up to your high expectations, and swear to share the wealth and prosperity with you, and live and die together!" ”

There was a thunderous cheer upstairs for a while.

The news of the Holy Father's Fang La's talisman in Zitongyuan Wannian Building spread ten, ten hundreds, hundreds, thousands, thousands, not ten days, believe in Mingjiao, respect the Holy Father's people actually reached tens of thousands, it is really like a fire burning the plain, the more it burns, the more prosperous!

In the second year of Xuanhe of the Great Song Dynasty, in mid-November, he helped the head altar of the Ming Sect and held the enthronement ceremony of the head of the sect, Fang La, the head of the sect.

At this moment, the leaders of the sects that have established sub-altars in various states have come, among which the two gradual roads and the east and west roads in the south of the Yangtze River are the most numerous, and these four roads have suffered the most from the disturbance of flowers and stones, and the disaster of corrupt officials is the most serious, and the development of Mingjiao is also the smoothest.

All the heads of the sect wear white robes embroidered with flames on their chests, white symbolizes purity of heart, and the flame symbolizes light, and advocating light is the tenets of Mingjiao.

The enthronement ceremony was held in the temple in the cave, and on the white marble platform on the west side of the temple stood a statue of Ming Zun cast in pure gold, and on the right side of the statue sat the head priest Fang La, and next to it sat the godmother Shao Yuxian.

There are twelve lines of guards on the left and right in front of the palace, ten people in each line, all holding Zhu Luo shield knife, black halberd, five-color flag, each with a name, everything according to the honor guard of the Son of Heaven.

Everyone gathered around Fang La to ascend to the throne and set up as the Holy Emperor, only to see Fang La wearing a flat crown at the moment, wearing a silk python robe, embroidered oolong probe claws on the python robe, and the feet were worry-free, sitting behind the dragon book case, there were four pairs of dragon fans, standing behind them, and everyone was standing in two shifts.

There is a jade seal on the dragon case, called the jade seal, in fact, it is not gold or jade, but it is carved from rosewood, and all the grass is very simple.

Fang Lali Shao is the queen of the main palace, the eldest son Fang Shu is the prince, the second son Fang Hao is the king of Wu, the old Buddha of Wang Gong is the general leader of the army to protect the country, the general leader of the army inside and outside the government, Chen hoop bucket is the prince, Fang Fei is the prime minister, Fang Liu, Bao Daoyi is the Shangshu, Fang Qifo is the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses, Fang Baihua is the leader of the female army, and the rest Chen Fan, Fang Jie, Deng Yuanjue, Li Tianyan, Shi Bao, Pang Wanchun, Fang Nineteen, Zheng Biao, Tong Gu, Wang Yin, Zhou Jingbao, Fang Tianding, Xu Fang, Xiahou Cheng, Zhang Hu, Tong Gu, Lu Jie, Huang Xianshan, Hua Yanqi, Yao Jinzhou, Lu Liang, Tang Duo, Yuan Jun, Xu Yi and other twenty or thirty people were all named generals, and the rest of the civil officials and ministers all had titles.

The reward has ended, everyone danced and thanked him, Fang La waved his hand, "Excuse me, excuse me!" Then all the officers were put into two shifts.

Fang La announced the abolition of the Xuanhe era of the Great Song Dynasty, changed the Yuan to "Yongle", the national name of the Holy Dynasty, and called the Holy Emperor.

Then he said: "I am bent on saving the people from the sea of suffering, so I have long set up a purpose, to kill all the corrupt officials, overthrow the Great Song Dynasty, and build a Yongle Holy Dynasty that is equal to the law. ”

Everyone thanked and thanked them.

Since then, Fang La has become the Holy Emperor Emperor, there are more people and horses, and there are more people in charge, and he is diligent in government affairs for a while, raising grain and preparing grass, boiling salt and smelting iron, practicing people and horses, and making it orderly inside and out, and the officials and gentry of the surrounding hundred and ten miles are frightened and flee.

But said that on this day, Wang Gong Lao Buddha gave advice: "Now that the Holy Father has ascended the throne, the place is shaking, and soon there will be officers and soldiers coming down to arrest him. ”

Fang Qifo also said: "Since the Great Sect Master received the mandate of heaven, the Quartet has responded, the will of heaven and the people's will, it is the time to order the heroes of the world to crusade against the Great Song Dynasty and establish the foundation of the world." ”

Fang La nodded yes when he heard this.

At the end of November of the second year of Xuanhe, the water of the gradual river is like the jade flowing down, the trees on the mountain are like piles of gold, a round of cold sun shines on the rivers and mountains, the wind blows the yellow leaves to the west, and the mountains and pines are directly cloudy.

In the Fangjia lacquer garden, at this moment there is an earthen altar built in the north facing south, the altar is surrounded by 28 Suzhou flags, there are the sun and moon dragon and phoenix flags in the middle to lead the Quartet, a pole of apricot yellow flag is erected in front of the altar, the red flame is bordered, and the flag is written with the word "Yongle".

On both sides of the flag, two small red tooth flags are erected.

On the left banner reads: Go east to catch Zhu Mian.

The first flag on the right reads: Go north to take Kaifeng.

The Yongle apricot yellow banner in front of the altar is waving in the wind, the wind blows, fluttering and trembling, the Holy Father Fang Laden the altar, standing under the banner of the door, Wang Gong Lao Buddha and the ministers stand in two compartments.

Fang La said with a serious face in the face of everyone: "Today's court is absurd and unreasonable, the powerful ministers are good at prestige, the officials are bribe-stricken, the crime is exempted, the palace is repaired, the temple is built, the flower gang stone service is greatly promoted, the excesses and miscellaneous taxes are increasing year by year, the people are tired of food, weaving silk silk, and the trees and tea on the mountains, all of which are not enough!" I had to starve to death on the side of the road and freeze to death in the snow, can such a life go on again? ”

The people under the altar raised their arms and shouted: "Can't! No! No! “

Fang La said again: "Liao and Xia Yidi invaded every year, the imperial court not only did not resist, but bent to Yidi to sue for peace, and every year to pay tribute to Daliao 1 million taels of silver, hundreds of thousands of silk horses, as well as tea and other things, all of which are people's fat and people's ointment, such a court, what use do you want him?" ”

"It's useless! Useless! Useless! There was another chanting from the audience.

Fang La said again: "The tiger and wolf live in the temple, and the cool officials brutalize the place, where is the common people not suffering?" As long as we first take the counties south of the Yangtze River, recuperate and recuperate, and then raise troops to fight across the Yangtze River and take Tokyo directly, then I will lightly punish the people and let the people recuperate......"

The audience chanted for a while.

After the oath was completed, Fang La ordered the disciples to kill the white horse, slaughter the green ox, and drip the blood in the basin.

Then he first put blood on his lips and swore that he would die, and he would take the oath of destroying the Song Dynasty, killing all the corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and saving the people from the urgency of hanging upside down. ”

Fang La took out his sword and raised it to the sky, Wang Gong Lao Buddha and hundreds of courtiers raised their swords, and more than 1,000 Ming Sect leaders inside and outside the lacquer garden also raised their swords, guns, swords, and halberds, and swore like a tiger roaring and a dragon: "Kill!" Kill! Kill! ”

Then these Mingjiao leaders, in turn, blood oath, needless to say, after the oath is completed, Fang La asked people to take out the wine buffalo meat, reward everyone, and cheer together, but it is like a 10,000-year-old trapped dragon breaking free of the golden chain, and a thousand miles of money pond surging evil wolves.

The next day, Fang La, with the head of the 52nd Road of Mingjiao, was the main leader, and passed down the two scriptures "Sunlight Advocate" and "Moonlight Advocate" compiled by himself.

The leaders of these fifty-two great sects are: Shisheng of Suzhou, Ji Gongchui of Xiuning County, Shen Zhi of Wuyuan County, Diao Ren of Jixi County, Ouyang Yuanbin of Qianxian County, Wu Ruoyun of Jinhua County, Liang Baiming of Yongkang County, Liu Tieta of Wuyi County, and so on.

After three days, the flags were unfurled, the drums were noisy, and the army set off from the source of the gang and went straight to Qingxi County.
