Fang Jinzhi stayed in Tianjing New Town for ten days, and finally understood the scale and law of Yang Peng's Tianjing New Town, where is the Prime Minister's Office, there are seven Shangshu, Dali Temple, and the Supervision Yuan, it can be said that it is a small imperial court, that is, when Mingjiao rebelled, there were not so many departments, Mingjiao and Yang Peng were just fooling around, they had no rules, they did it casually, and they came out as soon as they wanted, of course, they were not opponents of the imperial court.

Now Yang Peng and they all have hundreds of thousands of troops, with strong armaments, the Liao State lost the sixteen states of Yanyun, and in Mingjiao, it is absolutely impossible to deal with the Khitans, so Yang Peng and they have not openly rebelled, which shows that they are very stable, and they will not aim their butcher knives at the soldiers and civilians of the Great Song Dynasty. As soon as Fang Jinzhi returned to Youzhou, he found Yang Peng.

Yang Peng nodded thoughtfully, raised his head and asked, "How many people are still in the Ming Sect?" Fang Jinzhi sighed and glanced at the people under him, "The great leaders of my Ming Sect are all here, and the hundreds of people who followed us here are the apologists of the main altar. However, the roots of our Ming Sect in the south are still there, and there are still people who are active in the south. ”

Yang Peng glanced at everyone, "What are your plans?" Everyone glanced at each other and looked at Fang Jinzhi. Fang Jinzhi said: "We want to serve the general as the sect leader and continue to realize our ideals!" Yang Peng was surprised, and said with a smile: "This is too sudden!" After a pause, "Why do you want to make me the leader?" ”

Si Xing said loudly: "What you have done is in line with the purpose of our Ming Sect, and you are so powerful, and you took us in when we were desperate, so we want to serve you as the sect leader!" Fang Jinzhi said: "Today, only the general can realize the ideal of our Mingjiao!" Please put the people of the world first, don't shirk! The people of the Ming Sect clasped their fists together and said: "Please don't shirk the general!" ”

Yang Peng smiled: "I'm afraid I can't be such a saint." I appreciate your kindness, but I can't be your leader! Everyone was disappointed, and Fang Jinzhi hurriedly asked, "Why?" Yang Peng said: "It's very simple, although I agree very much with the set of tenets of the Ming Sect, I don't want to be tied up by this sect. ”

Fang Jinzhi said: "Since you agree with the purpose of my teaching, why are you tied hand and foot? Yang Peng said: "Many things, in many cases, must be in power, and you can't blindly follow a certain doctrine, otherwise you will only harm others and yourself." You have just talked about many reasons for the failure of the teachings, but there is actually a very important reason that you do not realize, and that is that you are too persistent in carrying out the teachings. According to the information I received, you got a large amount of grain, grass and goods after sweeping Jiangnan, and you should have used this to recruit troops and horses to strengthen your equipment, but you basically distributed these grain, grass and goods to the people, right? Everyone nodded, and the priest said angrily: "Isn't this wrong?" ”

Yang Peng said: "Of course not! The people should be rescued, but they can't take out all the resources of the government treasury, which directly led to the lack of food and grass supply and the goods used to reward the officers and soldiers during the later imperial court crusade, which directly led to the backwardness of your equipment, and this affected morale and combat effectiveness, and also indirectly forced those officials and officers and soldiers who defected before! After all, you can't ask everyone to fight for their ideals like you, most of them are still fighting for profit! ”

"Now that you have been defeated, what will happen to you? Lost more! Your dream of saving the people has never been realized, and they have fallen back into the heat of life. So what you did at the beginning was just a small righteousness in the moment and lost the long-term righteousness! It is important to know that great love is ruthless, and many times it is not confined to the present, but to take a long-term view, for the sake of long-term goals, you can make sacrifices in front of you! ”

Everyone frowned, and Minzhong sighed: "What the general said is extremely true! If the Holy Lord could have been as wise as the general at the beginning, why would my Ming Sect have been defeated so much! Yang Peng said: "So I can only live up to your kindness." Min Zhong said with a smile: "General, don't be in a hurry to resign!" In fact, the general's concern is very easy to do, as long as the general can save the world as the ultimate goal, I will give full support to the people of the Ming Sect, and I will never regret it! Fang Jinzhi continued: "Yes, what the general wants to do, we and the other sect members will never dare to have any objections, as long as the general takes the great harmony of the world as the ultimate goal, we will swear to follow it to the death!" ”

Yang Peng pondered for a moment, raised his head, and glanced at everyone, "If you agree to my request, I will be your sect leader!" Xingfang laughed and said: "As long as the general is willing to be our sect leader, don't say one request, even ten hundred requirements will be no problem!" Everyone nodded.

Yang Peng said: "Although the purpose of Mingjiao is good, it is necessary to prohibit the people from using the name of Mingjiao to confuse the public, and at the same time, the teachings of Mingjiao must obey the law, not against the law." ......" Everyone looked at each other, and Yuan Jue said angrily: "Do you want us to abide by the royal law of the imperial court?" This is ridiculous! ”

"It's not the royal law of the imperial court, but the law of mine here." Li Tiandao: "There is no problem with this. The others nodded. Another point is that doctrine cannot oppose loyalty, and the loyalty I am talking about here is loyalty to my Huaxia clan, and righteousness does not need me to explain. The crowd nodded, "That's fine. ”

Yang Peng pondered: "In that case, then I will agree to your request and be your sect leader!" Everyone was overjoyed, stood up one after another, and bowed: "Meet the sect master!" Yang Peng smiled and said, "Let's all get up." The crowd stood up. Yang Peng looked at Xingfang, "Xingfang," Xingfang immediately stepped forward, clenched his fists and asked, "What does the sect leader command?" ”

Yang Peng said: "I appoint you as the King of the Ming Sect, and I am responsible for supervising all the activities of the sect, and if anyone dares to violate the canons, report it immediately." "Yes!" Yang Peng glanced at everyone and asked with a smile, "I still don't know what your identities are in the sect?" ”

Everyone smiled, and Fang Jinzhi said: "The subordinate is a saint in the sect, and her duty is to ......" Speaking of this, she suddenly paused, and there was a moving red tide on her delicate face. Yang Peng became curious, "What is the duty?" Fang Jinzhi saw Yang Peng, the sect leader, asking, so he had to answer: "The duty is to be an example for women, and at the same time, at the same time, ,...... at the same time" Xing Fang said angrily: "What's so difficult to say, isn't it just to give birth to children for the sect leader?" Yang Peng smiled, "That's the case!" Well, what about the others? ”

Min Zhong said: "My subordinates are the bright left envoys of this sect, and they are responsible for teaching affairs. Xingfang said: "I was originally an apologist, but now I am the Dharma King. Others also introduced themselves. Yuan Jue is the chief priest in the church and is responsible for various memorial activities in the church. Li Tian is the commander of the unified army, and he is the highest position in the sect responsible for the campaign, and the Wan Chun brothers and sisters and Tianyou are the commanders of the unified army, and they are also the positions in the sect responsible for the campaign, which is one level lower than Li Tian's position.

Yang Peng said: "After all, I am different from Jiangnan here, I hope you will obey the arrangement." Everyone clasped their fists together and said, "Obey the orders of the sect leader." Yang Peng said: "Minzhong continues to be in charge of teaching affairs, and I will talk to you about religion." "Yes." "I'll put you in the armies. Military law is strict in the army, and I don't want to hear about your disobedience to military law, otherwise I won't be able to save you! The crowd agreed in unison.

Turning his gaze to the body of the Holy Maiden Fang Jinzhi, she had a headache, and she didn't know how to arrange her, so she suddenly felt her heart move, and said, "Miss Fang is in charge of teaching affairs with Minzhong. "Yes." "Okay, that's it for now." Fang Jinzhi said: "There is something that must be reported to the sect leader. "Oh? What's up? "The sect leader may not know that Wang Laozhi under the sect leader is actually the right envoy of the light of my Ming Sect."

Yang Peng was very surprised, and then came to his senses and said with a smile: "I understand, the reason why you fled to Yanyun is only because I am afraid that he played a big role in it!" Fang Jinzhi said: "Sect Leader Mingjian, it's true. The Right Envoy of Light kept sending messages describing what he had seen and heard here, and we were all very surprised, because what the Sect Master was doing here was really very similar to the purpose of my Ming Sect. Therefore, the Holy Lord began to unite with the general, but unfortunately before this plan was implemented, we were completely defeated! Later, we fled to an island in the open sea, and soon after received a message from Wang Laozhi, so we set off for Yanyun. ”

Yang Peng nodded, and it wasn't until this moment that he figured out the ins and outs of the whole thing. To Minzhong: "At present, the main responsibilities of the Ming Sect are two, one is to sort out and re-plan the broken Ming Sect organization in Jiangnan, and this matter will be handed over to you as the Bright Left Envoy." "Yes. The subordinates immediately went to Jiangnan. Then Yang Peng said to Fang Jinzhi: "As for the Holy Maiden of the Ming Sect, you and Wang Laozhi will be in charge of the construction of the Loyal Soul Hall for the time being." "Subordinates obey the Sect Master's decree!"

Yang Peng's mouth of the Loyal Soul Palace, is Yang Peng to Wang Laozhi a task, Yang Peng intends to follow the Tang Dynasty's Lingyan Pavilion to build a huge religious place for the worship of heroes and fallen soldiers, this is the Loyal Soul Palace, the location is in the suburbs of Yanjing City.

Yang Peng returned to the mansion, still thinking about Mingjiao in his mind. The reason why he agreed to become the leader of the Ming Sect was naturally not a whim, but something considered, because he needed a religious system to enrich the spiritual world of the common people and at the same time resist the erosion of foreign religions. Mingjiao is more suitable than other religions that have been infiltrated by Confucianism.

Yang Peng walked to the lake in the backyard, at this time, in the dead of night, Yang Peng stood on the edge of the lake facing a pool of clear water, and muttered: "Lao Tzu has become the leader of the Ming Sect!" ”

Yang Peng soaked in hot water, and Jiang Li, who was dressed in armor, knelt behind Yang Peng's back and massaged Yang Peng's shoulders. Yang Peng asked; "Have you ever heard of Mingjiao?" Jiang Li nodded while massaging Yang Peng's shoulders, "I've heard of it." Those who listen to the teachings help each other, and when the family is in trouble, the congregation will help together. ”

Yang Peng asked in surprise: "Are you a native of Yanyun and have also heard of Mingjiao?" Jiang Li nodded, "Yanyun also has a Ming Sect!" Yang Peng was very surprised, he originally thought that Mingjiao was in Zhejiang, but he didn't expect that even Yanyun would have it, so there must be Mingjiao disciples in the Central Plains. Yang Peng couldn't help but feel that it was really a wise choice to make this Ming Sect Master.

Yang Peng retracted his thoughts and said to Jiang Li; "Okay, don't press it." Jiang Li's eyes showed a charming color, and she immediately stood up, quickly took off her cloak and underwear, and dived into the water naked. Seeing this, Yang Peng was stunned for a moment, and then smiled. Jiang Li swam into Yang Peng's arms and took the initiative to offer a fragrant kiss. Yang Peng hugged Jiang Li and kissed her bitterly, and then swam to the middle of the pool with her slippery, soft and fiery delicate body. The two hugged each other, Jiang Li was wet and extremely attractive, and her beautiful eyes were rippling with boundless love.

Turning his gaze to the capital of the Great Liao Kingdom, Yelu Yu came to the palace and met with the Empress Dowager Xiao, and then asked, "I don't know what the Empress Dowager summoned Weichen to order?" "Yelu Yujian's current identity is that he is left behind in Jingdao in the country of Liao, with a high position and great honor, and he is the object of envy and jealousy of his compatriots. Why did Yelu Yujian get such a different treatment?

Everyone still remembers the mysterious person who came to meet Yelu Yujian in the previous article, in fact, that mysterious person is the messenger of the Empress Dowager Xiao, and Yelu Yujian has already secretly communicated with the Empress Dowager Xiao. The reason why the army of the Liao State suddenly appeared on the land of Zhongjing was all due to the credit of Yelu Yujian's predecessors. Yelu Yu used his power and identity, took advantage of the opportunity of field hunting, led the army through the passes, and appeared in Zhongjing without blood, at that time it was the civil strife in Liao, so Ye Yu picked up the cheap, and Liaozhong Jingdao came down at his fingertips. Yelu Yu saw that he had made great contributions, so the emperor of the Liao State complied with the previous agreement and appointed him as the post of Zhongjing Dao, which was very dependent.

Empress Dowager Xiao said: "I heard that you have dealt with Yang Peng? Jeremiah said, "Yes." However, at that time, the minister didn't know his identity, and thought that he was Kim Yong-san, a big grain merchant from Goryeo! Empress Dowager Xiao asked, "What kind of person do you think he is?" Yelu Yu thought for a moment, "Unfathomable! ”

Empress Dowager Xiao frowned, "Can he threaten my Liao Kingdom?" "It's not a secret, I think that only this person can threaten my Great Liao Empire today!" Empress Dowager Xiao pondered: "If I say this, I must get rid of him first!" ”

Yelu Yu said: "Actually, there is no need to rush. Although Yang Peng is a powerful person, after all, he is only a courtier of the Song Dynasty, and the sixteen states of Yanyun are a little bigger, how much can he do? Now that my 550,000-strong army is pressing on his borders, he can't move! The minister thought that he could use the Song court to deal with him, and now that the Song court was in charge, we could bribe those traitors to let them go to the emperor to accuse Yang Peng of the crime of rebellion, and then the court would inevitably issue an edict to order Yang Peng to enter Beijing. ”

"What if Yang Peng doesn't enter Beijing?" Yelu Yu smiled and said, "That's fine." In that case, wouldn't it confirm Yang Peng's crime of rebellion? Under the instigation of those traitorous ministers, the emperor will inevitably raise an army to fight. And our Great Liao Empire can reap the benefits of fishermen at this time. ”

Empress Dowager Xiao laughed, "Okay, good! It's a brilliant plan! After a pause, he looked at Yelu Yujian, "Since this plan is your offer, are you willing to go to Song Tokyo?" I also happened to ask you to ask Song Ting for New Year's coins and tax money! Yelu Yu bowed and said: "Your Majesty has an order, how dare the minister refuse?" The minister will live up to his mission! ”

The gaze turned back to Yanjing. Yang Peng had just gone to inspect the progress of the Loyal Soul Hall outside the city, and when he returned to the mansion, before he could sit down, a guard came to report that Ye Hong wanted to see him. Yang Peng ordered the guards to invite him in.

Ye Hong walked in quickly, bowed to Yang Peng, who was drinking tea, and then said angrily: "City Lord, I have no choice but to come and beg you!" ”

Yang Peng put down the tea bowl and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?" "It's not those Confucian students! As soon as the schools in various places were put into operation, many Confucian scholars came to make trouble with the tablet of Confucius, saying that we were deviant and scolding me Ye Hong was a shame in the literary world! It's okay to scold me, but it makes students everywhere unable to study! I've communicated with those Confucian scholars countless times, but those bastards are like stones in a pit, smelly and hard! Ye Hong was originally a scholar of Sven, but now he is so irritable, it can be seen that he is extremely angry.

Yang Peng thought for a moment, frowned and asked, "Didn't the magistrate care?" "They're! Say that this is just a quarrel between readers, they can't control it! Outrageous! Yang Peng thought about it and said with a smile: "This is easy to do." Then he shouted outside; Come! Jiang Li, who was guarding the door, immediately rushed in, clenched her fists and asked, "What does the lord command?" ”

"Immediately send someone to call me Qian Letian, Zuo Mou, and Kou Yan." Jiang Li responded and ran down.

Ye Hong sat on the chair and said angrily: "These Confucian students are obviously borrowing questions to play!" Because the lord did not select officials as in the traditional way, these Confucian scholars could not get into the ranks, so they wanted to express their dissatisfaction and force the lord to back down! ”

Yang Peng smiled coldly. After a while, Qian Letian, Zuo Mou, and Kou Yan hurriedly came to the hall, clasped their fists and bowed: "I've seen the lord!" Yang Peng bowed slightly. Ye Hong stood up, clenched his fists and said, "Three adults." The three of them turned around and saluted back, "Lord Xu." ”

Yang Peng said to Ye Hong: "Say what you just said again." Ye Hong said the matter again. Qian Letian, Zuo Mou, and Kou Yan frowned, and Kou Yan said angrily: "They obviously want to blackmail the lord!" Qian Lotian frowned and said, "It's not that simple!" This reflects that the education reform we have implemented has touched the interests of the old readers, so they will take advantage of the topic! ”

Yang Peng stood up and walked to the bottom of the hall, "Any reform will touch the interests of some people, but we can't stop reforming because of this." It's like eating, you can't choke on it! The four of them said together: "The lord is wise! Yang Peng asked, "How do you think this matter should be handled?" ”

Zuo Mou said with a smile: "Actually, it's simple, you just need to add a law to prohibit anyone from gathering to make trouble, otherwise you will be punished!" Then order the local government to implement this decree. Ye Hong frowned and said: "Since ancient times, doctors have not been punished, and since Taizu founded the country, he has raised the status of literati to an unprecedented level. This decree is simple to implement, but I am afraid that it will cause a greater backlash! ”

Yang Peng said categorically: "Then let them make trouble!" This matter has to be solved after all! Why don't you take this opportunity to solve it completely! Confucianism, hum, as long as you taste the bitterness, you will learn the truth of being a human being! The four nodded. Yang Peng said to Qian Letian, Zuo Mou, and Kou Yan: "You go back immediately, promulgate this decree, and tell the officials in various places that it must be strictly implemented!" "Yes!"

Soon, the government of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun began to arrest those Confucian students who gathered people to make trouble in the school. At first, some Confucian scholars rebelled angrily, shouting 'morality collapses, culture is dead', and shouting nonsense such as 'not punishing doctors'. However, Confucianism's resistance was of no use at all, and the local government strictly implemented Yang Peng's order and arrested all the Confucian students who made trouble, and the prison cells were overcrowded for a while. When the people saw such a scene, some sighed with emotion, some gloated, and the status of Confucianism in the minds of the people dropped a lot in an instant.

However, after all, Confucianism's troubles were not a big deal, and they were released one after another not long after they were closed. The Confucian scholars didn't dare to make trouble anymore, but they connected in private, and even wrote a 'weeping blood letter' signed by hundreds of Confucian students, and a Confucian student surnamed Li secretly ran to Tokyo to sue the emperor in his arms.

A beautiful figure rushed into the left-behind mansion, she was ice and jade, her skin was better than snow, and her beauty was superb, it was Li Yanming, the commander of the direct legion. This beautiful girl, with a red dress, is like an incomparably bright red flower, and she is so eye-catching wherever she goes.

Li Yanming hurriedly rushed into the hall and looked around. At this time, Yang Peng happened to come in from behind and saw Li Yanming. Li Yanming also saw Yang Peng, and hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted: "My subordinates meet the general!" ”

Yang Peng smiled: "No need to be polite. Is there anything wrong with you? "Subordinate, subordinate wants to find the ninth sister." "She just went out, she should have gone to the barracks." Li Yanming hurriedly bowed: "Then the subordinate will retire!" "I'm leaving." Wait a minute. ”

Li Yanming stopped, turned around, clenched his fists and asked, "What is the general's order?" Yang Peng walked in front of Li Yanming, and a sweet fragrance like an orchid musk surged into his nose, Yang Peng couldn't help but take a deep breath and secretly praised. Stretched out his hand and picked up Li Yanming's cloak, and a hole more than three inches long was torn on the big red cloak, "Your cloak is broken." ”

Li Yanming hurriedly said: "I think it was hung by a branch just now." Yang Peng said jokingly: "People who don't know are afraid that they still think that I am mean to my subordinates!" Putting down her cloak, she turned and walked back, "Follow me." Li Yanming was stunned, hesitated, and followed. The two of them came out of the lobby one after the other, walked through the arch into the backyard, and then walked along the shore of the lake until they walked into the courtyard where Yang Peng lived.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
