…

Fang La turned out to be just a helper in the family of Fang Youchang, the owner of the lacquer garden in Qixian Village, Shexian County, and his background was not high.

But Fang La has a bold temperament, likes to make friends, and his family has many talents, so he has a certain status in the rivers and lakes.

One day, Fang La went to the stream to clean his hands, and saw in the water that he was wearing a crown of heaven and a dragon robe, so he told people that he had the blessing of the son of heaven.

This makes people feel that Fang La is very extraordinary, and then they are more willing to make friends with Fang La, that is, the original Manichaean leader Wang Gong Lao Buddha values Fang La very much, and often invites Fang La to listen to his lectures.

Later, Wang Gong Lao Buddha accidentally saw the "Tui Bei Tu" that is said to be the Tang Dynasty during the Zhenguan period, Tang Taizong Li Shimin ordered astronomer Li Chunfeng and Xiangshi Yuan Tiangang to calculate the luck of the Tang Dynasty.

There is a proverb in "Tui Bei Tu": Ten thousand plus a little, the end of winter is respected. Across the Zhejiang water, the traces are in Wuxing!

Ten thousand plus one point is exactly the word "square".

At the end of winter, it is the "wax moon".

Fang La is in the middle of the "push back map".

Therefore, the first two sentences are to say that Fang La is the emperor.

The last two sentences "across the Zhejiang River, showing traces in Wuxing", this is relatively simple, referring to Fang La's sphere of influence, in the Zheshui region, that is, about the Three Kingdoms period of Eastern Wu.

As everyone knows, "Tui Bei Tu" can be called a strange book, and those who can enter "Tui Bei Tu" are all extraordinary, and their creation is naturally extraordinary.

Therefore, Wang Gong Lao Buddha thought that Fang La was a very creative person, so he resolutely passed his position as the head of Manichaeism to Fang La.

Since Fang La became the leader of Manichaeism, he has recruited heroes and heroes everywhere to strengthen Manichaeism, follow the teachings of Manichaeism, and prepare for the uprising.

After years of hard work by Fang La and the Manichaeans, they finally prepared all the matters of the uprising, and they only needed to find an auspicious day of the zodiac.

But at this critical moment, there were two changes!

The first change was that Fang Baihua actually rebelled first!

After hearing the news, Fang La and the Manichaeans were stunned!

They couldn't figure it out, how could Fang Baihua revolt first?!!!

Could it be that Shuibo Liangshan wants to seize the southeast territory?

Fang La hurriedly sent someone to Jiangzhou and asked Fang Baihua, what do you want to do this dead girl?

Without waiting for the people from Fang La's faction to leave, Fang Baihua (actually Jiang Hongfei) sent Dai Zong to Qingxi County, Muzhou, and explained to Fang La that Fang Baihua was ordered by Jiang Hongfei to seize Jiangzhou, but because Zhao Ji Junchen was insatiable to oppress the people of the southeast, the service was heavy, and the people were unbearable, and because Zhu Mian levied Huashigang in Wuzhong, the people were very resentful, everyone was confused, and they all had the intention to revolt and rebel, so Fang Baihua was set up, and Fang Baihua was regarded as a saint, and Fang Baihua was successfully revolted.

"Fang Baihua" emphasized that she did not play the banner of Shuibo Liangshan, but only said that she was the sister of the Holy Father Fang La.

For Fang La and others, this can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune - well, this can also be regarded as their uprising.

But to be honest, Fang La and the others are still a little greasy!

- The first person to revolt has a great bonus to fame, but this achievement did not fall to Fang La's head, which must have had an impact on Fang La's reputation.

But the matter has come to this point, and Fang La and the others really can't say anything.

After all, Jiang Hongfei sent Fang Baihua to lead the Liangshan Army to capture Jiangzhou, but he was actually helping Fang La.

The key point is that the people of Shuibo Liangshan did not revolt in their own name, indicating that they did not want to fight with their Manichaeism.

Therefore, the people who made this big oolong and couldn't complain about Shuibo Liangshan really wanted to complain, and they also complained that Fang La's actions were too ink.

However, while Fang La and the others were a little tired in their hearts, they also saw clearly that the situation of the uprising was really good, and the people in Shuibo Liangshan did not want to revolt, so they were forced to revolt.

It was at this time that a second incident happened.

This incident is that Fang La's original employer, Fang Youchang's family, sued Fang La.

Fang You's common Fang La is idle all day long, and he doesn't have to work hard, making friends with those scoundrels, and also dealing with Manichaeism, a secret organization that was designated as a demon cult by the Zhao and Song courts, and the key Fang La always said that he was destined to be the emperor.

Fools can see that Fang La is preparing to rebel.

And the rebellion will punish the nine clans.

Fang Youchang's family and Fang La have not yet come out of the five suits, if Fang La rebels, their family will definitely be implicated.

So, Fang Youchang asked his second son Fang Xiong to report to Chen Guang, the magistrate of Qingxi County, that Fang La was going to rebel.

Qingxi County is such a big place, and Manichaeism is deeply rooted here.

Soon, Fang Youchang's family's actions were learned by Fang La.

At this point, Fang La had no other way than to revolt immediately.

So, Fang La gathered the congregation, killed Fang Youchang's family, and led the people to revolt in Qixian Village, Shexian County, with the call to crusade against Zhu Mian, and saw that the officials and their minions were all killed.

The people were suffering from the plundering and extortion of the officials, and they responded everywhere.

In the next few days, Fang La also gathered tens of thousands, and the followers were like clouds......

……

The Xiang Army and the Forbidden Army were the main armies of the Zhao and Song dynasties.

In addition to these two types of armies, the Zhao and Song dynasties also had a kind of township army.

- Although the Zhao and Song dynasties always wanted the township army to be on par with the government soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, after all, it was only half a peasant and half a soldier, and the overall combat power was still zero, which was useless, so it could not be recorded in the regular army.

The forbidden army is not much to say, it is the absolute regular army of the Zhao and Song dynasties, except for the western and northern border towns, most of them are stationed in the Gyeonggi area to guard Tokyo Bianliang City.

Here in the southeast, there are not a few forbidden armies at all, and the most here is actually the box army.

The Xiang army is the defender army of the prefectures and counties, which is equivalent to the local army.

The tradition of the Zhao and Song dynasties has always been to eliminate the old and weak soldiers in the forbidden army and the soldiers with low combat effectiveness into the box army.

Therefore, the Xiang army has no combat power at all, and is mainly used to supply all kinds of miscellaneous labor, such as repairing the Yellow River, such as transporting supplies, and so on.

Another tradition of the Zhao and Song dynasties was to recruit hungry people, homeless people, and criminals to serve as soldiers.

For soldiers, the Zhao and Song Dynasty courts also had to tattoo characters on their faces and the backs of their hands.

The same inscriptions were written by criminals, government craftsmen, and slaves.

It can be seen from this that being a soldier can actually be regarded as a kind of shame, which is equivalent to excluding soldiers from the citizen class.

This also makes the soldiers have no heart to protect their homes and defend the country.

It is worth mentioning that starting from Zhao Kuangyin, the successive emperors of the Zhao and Song dynasties were afraid of rebellion by martial artists.

Therefore, the Zhao and Song dynasties have always been strict against too many generals and troops.

For this reason, the Zhao and Song Dynasty courts divided the affairs of the capital and the road, and the power was evenly matched and the enemy was not controlled.

This has created a situation in which the generals and officers are in their own camps, and it has also led to the fact that the soldiers do not know the generals and the generals do not know the soldiers.

Coupled with layers of corruption, the grain plaque is decaying.

In addition, it has been almost 200 years since there has been a major war in the southeast, and Chengping has been too long.

So much so that the army of the southeast will not fight at all.

Therefore, hearing the news of Fang La's uprising, Chen Guang of Qingxi County and the officials and gentry of Qingxi County were frightened and panicked!

- They knew very well that it was simply unrealistic for such a rapidly growing uprising to be suppressed by the few soldiers in the vicinity.

Chen Guang and other officials and gentry in Qingxi County panicked, huddled in the city all day long, and asked the higher-level government for help one after another.

But Zhang Huiyan, the governor of Muzhou, also had nothing to do, so he could only send Zhang Yuan, a prisoner in Zhexi, to Beijing for help......

……

The mansion given by Zhao Ji to Wang Hao is located on the north bank of the Bianhe River in the west of Bianliang City, which is the most famous mansion area in Bianliang City, with elegant environment and beautiful scenery.

Moreover, Zhao Ji clearly ordered that the decoration of Wang Huang's new house, the addition of appliances and the expenses required for holding the housewarming ceremony were all provided by Kaifeng Mansion.

When Wang Hao finished decorating the mansion, Zhao Ji personally inscribed the plaque of "Virtuous Governance" for the main entrance of Wang Hao's mansion.

In addition, in the other nine pavilions and halls, Zhao Ji also wrote plaques for Wang Huang.

On the day of Wang Hao's housewarming, Zhao Ji also ordered the palace band to play music for Wang Hao's move, and the convoy marched forward mightily, and the people in Bianliang City, Tokyo, watched it on the road, causing a sensation.

It can be seen from this that Zhao Ji has high expectations for Wang Hao.

Once Wang Huang attained Taoism, he held a feast at home for many days in a row, feasting guests and friends.

On this day, Wang Hao held a banquet at home again, and invited his friend Lang Mei, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, to perform the ceremony, and four or five beautiful singers waited beside them.

Just when they were drinking and drinking, someone came to report that Zhang Yuan, who was in prison, had something important to see.

Wang Hao didn't want to see him.

But Mei Zhili said: "The lower officials heard that there has been a riot of people in the southeast recently, and Zhang Tidian is afraid that there is something urgent to do, so it is better for Wang Xianggong to see him at first sight." ”

In this way, Wang Hao ordered someone to bring Zhang Yuan in.

After Zhang Yuan came in, he immediately reported in a panic: "Wang Xianggong, the big thing is not good, the brothers and sisters of Fang La and Fang Baihua from Qingxi in Muzhou gathered to rebel, and now Jiangzhou has fallen into the hands of thieves, and Muzhou is also in danger, I ask Wang Xianggong to send an army to save me from the southeast!" ”

Seeing Zhang Yuan's panicked appearance, Wang Hao was very angry and reprimanded: "The mob makes trouble, which year does it not happen once or twice, you make a fuss, as an official, you should not be alarmed when you are in danger......

Reprimanded Zhang Yuan sharply, Wang Hao turned his head and raised his glass to Mei with a smile and said, "How about my singers?" They are all offered by Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which are Yangzhou thin horses, and if Shengruo takes a fancy to them, he will pick one to go. ”

Mei Zhili didn't appreciate it, and said with displeasure: "Xianggong is the prime minister, when he is worried with the world, today Fang La, Fang Baihua brothers and sisters are poisoning Wu Di, the sores are not peaceful, and it is not a time for singing and dancing!" ”

After that, Mei Zhili put down the wine glass and got up to say goodbye to Wang Hao!

Wang Hao looked at Mei Zhili's back and said coldly: "I don't know how to lift!" ”

At this time, the chamberlain Zhang Di suddenly came to announce that Wang Huang entered the palace to face the saint.

Wang Hao didn't dare to slack off, and immediately got up and went into the palace to see Zhao Ji.

Seeing that Wang Hao was coming, Zhao Ji asked straight to the point: "Why is it that the imperial court has doubled the collection of flowers and fruits in Fujian today?" ”

It turned out that Dazai Yu Shen said to Zhao Ji: "Official, the imperial court has collected a lot of flowers and fruits from Fujian, which has become a disturbance to the people, and it must be reduced." ”

The so-called flowers and fruits in Fujian mainly refer to the lychees of Fujian.

Zhao Ji asked with a puzzled face: "The flowers and fruits in Fujian disturb the people, what is the explanation of this?" ”

Yu Shen explained: "In the second year of Xiangfu, the imperial court paid 60,000 dried lychees, and 83,000 more in the last year. Fresh lychees, 100,000 in Chongning for four years, increased by 100,000 and 600 last year, all doubled. When the land is disturbed, the people are also disturbed. ”

Zhao Ji thought to himself, what does the imperial court want so many lychees for? Let Zhang Di pass on Wang Huang and let Wang Huang come over to explain.

Hearing this, Wang Hao hurriedly sorted out and explained the purchase and distribution of lychees by the imperial court, and finally said: "The imperial court collects flowers and fruits in Fujian, and the people in Fujian have money to earn, which is for the benefit of the people, how can it disturb the people?" This is a trivial matter of the peaceful and prosperous era, why should the officials bother to study deeply? ”

Wang Hao glanced at Yu Shen again, and said lightly: "There are many major national affairs, Dazai only cares about the flowers and fruits in Fujian, and does not think about sharing the worries of the officials, what does it mean?" ”

Yu Shen was picked up by Cai Jing and was Cai Jing's right-hand man in governance, Cai Jing experienced many ups and downs in the Zhao and Song courts, and Yu Shen followed Cai Jing many times up and down.

Because Cai Jing did not support the plan of Lianjin to destroy Liao and recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, Zhao Ji thought that Cai Jing was old, so he forced Cai Jing to take over from Cai Jing and let Wang Huang, who strongly supported this plan, take over from Cai Jing.

And Yu Shen is just an excessive prime minister.

Who doesn't know that the reason why Zhao Ji still kept Yu Shen and promoted Yu Shen to Dazai was just to let Yu Shen cooperate with Wang Hao to transfer all the power of Cai Jing to Wang Hao?

Yu Shen felt the aggressiveness of the young and vigorous Wang Hao, and Wang Hao could go online to collect lychees, and criticize him as a Dazai, Zhao Ji didn't care about Wang Hao, then it would definitely be difficult for him to act in the court in the future, and Cai Jing's power was almost all transferred to Wang Hao, Yu Shen felt that he still took the initiative to give up the position of Dazai and leave the court This place of right and wrong is good.

Therefore, the next day, Yu Shen took the initiative to say to Zhao Ji: "Official, the old minister is over seventy, too old, ask the official family to approve the old minister." ”

Zhao Ji thought for a while and said, "Aiqing is very concerned about the southeast, so you will go to the southeast to take up a post." ”

The next day, the imperial court officially issued an edict, Yu Shen with the title of young master, Zhenjiang Jiedu envoy out of Fuzhou, and at the same time, the imperial court also issued an edict to appoint Wang Hao as Shaobao, Dazai and his servant.

Wang Hao officially became the prime minister of the Zhao and Song dynasties, and his power leaned towards the government and the opposition, just like Cai Jing in the past.

Some people may be puzzled, since Wang Hao knows about the rebellion in the southeast, why is he still so careless?

In fact, inattentiveness is just an illusion.

Wang Hao's purpose was to suppress the rebellion in the southeast, and he didn't want this matter to affect the plan of Lianjin to destroy Liao and recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, which was about to be implemented.

You must know that Wang Hao has been preparing for this plan for more than half a year, and now the army going north has been assembled in the Daimyo's Mansion, just waiting for Zhao Ji's order, the army will go north.

The key is that the recovery of the sixteen states of Yanyun is a dream that the Zhao and Song dynasties have had for nearly two hundred years, and Zhao Ji, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, even ordered: to recover the king of Yanyun!!

Wang Hao wanted to rely on this incomparable achievement to prove that he was even more outstanding than his predecessor Cai Jing, and that he was the best prime minister in the history of the Zhao and Song dynasties.

In addition, as Wang Hao said to Zhang Yuan, when did the Zhao and Song Dynasty not have any rebellions? Why all the fuss?

In other words, Wang Hao did not expect that the rebellion in the southeast would have such an unprecedented momentum.

Therefore, Wang Hao suppressed the rebellion in the southeast.

But—

Although Wang Hao suppressed this matter, it does not mean that Wang Hao does not care about this matter.

In fact, on the contrary, Wang Hao had already strictly ordered Chen Jianli, the envoy of the Liangzhejiang Road, to dispatch troops to suppress the rebellion of Fang La and Fang Baihua.

After Chen Jian received Wang Hao's order, he immediately sent Cai Zun and Yan Tan, the capital eunuchs of the army and horses, to lead 5,000 elite forbidden troops to Qingxi, preparing to first attack the base camp of the Layi army below, and then go north to recover Jiangzhou......
