Chapter 129: End-time Instructions
'The sect leader is only busy working in the rivers and lakes!, but he doesn't know ......' When he saw the inquiry, Yin Tianzheng answered, and then began to speak. In the twenty-five years from Wuzong to the first year of Emperor Shun, a total of eight emperors were changed in the Great Yuan Dynasty. During this period, the Mongol royal families were fighting each other over each other due to the struggle for the throne, so that all the military and political power fell into the hands of powerful princes and ministers. Corresponding to the political instability and the increasing decay of the imperial court, corruption is rife at all levels of government below, and there are even more tricks for officials to accumulate wealth!
It is rumored that the subordinate first visit said that he wanted to spend money in vain, and he said that he would spend money on festivals, and he would say birthday money on his birthday, and he would ask for regular money for his affairs, and he would ask for money for favors, and he would say that he would pay money for official affairs. Not only did it set up a variety of taxes, but it also ordered the people not to own iron tools to prevent disobedience, and even a kitchen knife had to be shared by several families.
In the face of this heavy tax, which cannot be completed at all, it can barely cope in a good year. In the first year of the Yuan Dynasty, the heavy rain in Gyeonggi caused more than 400,000 hungry people, and in the following year, Jiangsu and Zhejiang were hit by disasters, and the number of hungry people was as high as 590,000! In the third year of the Yuan Dynasty, there was another disaster, and 400,000 people were hungry. In the fourth year of Zhengzheng, the Yellow River fought three times in a row...... As a result, starvation is carried and people are starved! Today's imperial court not only turns a blind eye to this, but at the same time in order to cope with the huge shortfall, and at the same time, it .....
'Report to the Sect Master, Dharma King, the Five Lakes Gang's filial piety money has been delivered, and please send someone to help collect it. As he spoke, one of the disciples walked in with a cart. 'The Five Lakes Gang seems to be doing a great deal of money, and they have sent so much money!' Yang Dingtian blurted out after opening the sack on the car and seeing that it was full of banknotes. 'The sect leader didn't know...... Tang Sui, who was in charge of receiving it, only stepped forward and glanced at the banknotes on the car, and immediately ordered someone to unload them and throw them aside.
'How can you dispose of these many banknotes so casually?!' Seeing this, Yang Dingtian couldn't help but reprimand. Seeing this, Tang Sui hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Although these banknotes can still be exchanged for the same amount of gold and silver in the early years, they are the currency of the market! Tang Sui said in one breath.
'Ahh After a short episode, and then back to those famous posts, Yang Dingtian said: "Although these people are against the imperial court for a reason, they are not a sect of the rivers and lakes after all; just as the so-called people of the rivers and lakes are only in charge of the affairs of the rivers and lakes! Therefore, we should try to deal with these people as little as possible in the future." ''Obey the bishop's instructions!'' Seeing this, Yin Tianzheng answered, and then retreated with everyone.
When I returned to my accommodation, I thought I would get a good night's sleep. It is also strange to say that after tossing and turning for most of the night, it is not until the sun is about to dawn that there is a trace of sleepiness. Seeing that he couldn't sleep, just when Yang Dingtian, who was in a hurry, was about to turn over and get up, he vaguely saw Zhao Weiming, who was smiling, actually walked in.
'Ancestor, forgive me for being rude, please take a seat. Yang Dingtian hurriedly turned over and got out of bed and saluted. 'Good, good, good, your own family don't need to be polite. Zhao Weiming, who was smiling even more, hugged Yang Dingtian and greeted. 'Every time I wanted to see it before, it was rare to see the smiling face of the patriarch, how could he ?...... today' After a pleasantry, Yang Dingtian couldn't help but secretly doubt.
With a thought in mind, he immediately inquired, "Patriarch Immortal has arrived here, I don't know what instructions you have for your disciple?" 'You are currently going smoothly, and your cultivation has surpassed Wang Zhi!' I can't praise you yet, how can I reprimand you?' Although Zhao Weiming's tone seemed to have a strange meaning, his face became more and more kind. Looking at his situation, Yang Dingtian, who was quite flattered, couldn't help but be even more suspicious.
After talking for a while, seeing that Zhao Weiming still refused to confide in his intentions, Yang Dingtian, who was in a hurry, had no choice but to ask, "I know that your old man has never left Liugong Island easily, and there must be something wrong with coming here today!" But there are orders, and I also ask the patriarch to make it clear for his disciples!'' You kid is good everywhere, but only this temperament is a little anxious. After Zhao Weiming reprimanded in response, he changed to the kind of leisurely appearance that had long been commonplace.
'Ancestor, can your old man tell his disciple what he meant now?' Seeing that he had returned to normal, Yang Dingtian hurriedly asked. "It doesn't hurt to tell you...... 'Seeing Yang Dingtian's eagerness, Zhao Weiming responded, but slowly counted the various tyrannies of the Yuan Dynasty. 'Ancestor, we are a sect of rivers and lakes, why do you care about those bad things in the court?' After some explanation, Yang Dingtian immediately asked.
"What a bastard boy, have you forgotten your origin?" Zhao Weiming scolded angrily, and then briefly told Yang Dingtian's background and Yue Fei's life deeds. 'Ancestor, I never dare to deny that I am the descendant of Prince Yue! But Prince Yue has been dead for so long, and I have now become the head of a faction of rivers and lakes;
"You can still remember that you are loyal and good, and then you will ......" Hearing this, Zhao Weiming said in a deep voice after a happy face, "Now the Yuan Dynasty is cruel and unkind, so that the heavens are angry and people are resentful; and you are Marshal Yue, plus the current prestige of the Ming Sect; I think that as long as I raise my arms and shout, I will be able to summon righteous people from all directions; overthrow the tyranny of the Yuan Dynasty, ...... but the ancestor, after all, I am already a person in the rivers and lakes, and the Ming Sect is just a sect of the rivers and lakes, why do you have to pay attention to those bad things in the imperial court?" Seeing that the more he spoke, the more he spoke, Yang Dingtian, who was in a hurry, blurted out.
'This ......' Hearing this, Zhao Weiming was slightly stunned and said, "Not to mention that Marshal Yue worries about the country and the people, and cares about the people, since it is the Zoroastrianism that your predecessor of Mingjiao believed, and its teachings also have the intention of leading evil to good, and persuading the king, how can you stay out of the matter?" After finishing speaking, Zhao Weiming immediately stared at Yangdingtian's face and looked at it.
'Although the patriarch is reasonable, I don't read much, and it is extremely difficult to manage a Jianghu sect! I think that I will never be able to do this great thing in the world!' 'So ......' Zhao Weiming, who was unexpected, couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.
'Truly, calamity, truly..... Zhao Weiming, I'm afraid you're going to miscalculate this time, right?' Just when the relatively silent room fell into a long silence, someone suddenly heard a strange laugh and someone said. "Tieguan Daoist, let's go!" listened attentively, and without waiting for Yang Dingtian to speak, Zhao Weiming immediately let out an angry shout and flew out of the house. Just watched Zhao Weiming leave the house, and soon there was a loud sound of wind and thunder in the distance. Although the two of them had already exchanged hands, because the instructions were not yet clear, Yang Dingtian, who felt that going would only get in the way, had to wait for the time being.
'Sure enough, as the master said, this Iron Crown Daoist is indeed worthy of being an opponent who can be compared with the ancestor!' While waiting, he heard the sound of wind and thunder, and it seemed that the situation was on the same footing. "Dingtian, have you thought about it?" But as soon as his mind arose, he saw that Zhao Weiming had walked in unscathed. "The disciple is stupid! What should I do? I also ask the ancestor to make it clear!" Zhao Weiming, who was calm and relaxed, had no intention of standing still, and Yang Dingtian nodded in response.
......Seeing this, Zhao Weiming smiled with satisfaction, but just as he was about to step forward to speak, he suddenly heard a strange sound. After identifying the source of the voice, Zhao Weiming immediately shouted and rushed out. "Patriarch, patriarch, you haven't explained it to your disciples!" After rushing out, he saw that the stars were lingering and the four fields were lonely; except for the faint sentence 'Do what is in front of you, you will know in the future!', but where is there a trace of Zhao Weiming?
"What should the disciple do?" Ancestor, Ancestor!' After identifying that it was Zhao Weiming's voice, Yang Dingtian couldn't help but shout repeatedly. But after shouting for a long time, not only did there be no response, but out of nowhere, a heavy fog suddenly rose, which made the surrounding scenery more and more confusing.
Seeing that the surroundings were completely shrouded in fog, Yang Dingtian was about to use his eyes to take a closer look, but suddenly heard a burst of cheers in his ears: "Husband, are you awake?", "Brother, are you awake?" and "Sect Master, you are finally awake!". Listening to the voice was very familiar, Yang Dingtian opened his eyes and took a look, but saw that in addition to the surprised and inexplicable Yin Tianzheng, Yang Xiao and others and Zhou Yuchan, wasn't he still lying on the bed?
"Husband, how are you?" Seeing that everyone was exhausted and haggard, before Yang Dingtian could open his mouth to ask, he saw that Zhou Yuchan had begun to whimper. 'I'm fine, I just slept for a while!' Seeing this, Yang Dingtian blurted out after being startled. "Just slept for a while, then you've made us miserable this sleep...... Zhao Yuchan replied, and after seeing that Yang Dingtian had indeed recovered to its original state, she began to speak.
