Chapter 87: Housewarming to Luoyang

The next day, after Zhao Chengzong returned home, he told Zhao Weiming with joy, "When the child went to court today, he informed Renzong of his father's views yesterday, and Renzong was overjoyed." Immediately appointed the child as the prince of King Yi and inherited your title in the future, and praised the child greatly in the court. This matter was originally expected by Zhao Weiming, but he didn't care about it. While talking, the next person came to report, 'Someone has come to visit the old prince!'

I thought that the minister of the DPRK and China would visit again, so I had the intention to refuse it, but as soon as I heard the name of the person who came out, Zhao Weiming immediately dispelled the idea. After getting dressed slightly, I went out to greet him. The people who came were Wang Guiyi, Liu Wuniang, the monk who quit hate, Hong Qi and others. As soon as they met, Liu Wuniang said angrily, "I haven't been able to find you for several days, it turns out that you kid is hiding here and relaxing!" Zhao Weiming was startled, and hurriedly asked, "But I don't know what to ask a few elders to find the kid?" Hearing this, Liu Wuniang asked rhetorically, "The beggar gang should have been more than ten years since it was established that year, right?!" Zhao Weiming roughly calculated, isn't it! Since the establishment of the beggar gang, it has indeed been ten years. But I didn't know what Liu Wuniang meant by this question, so she replied, "It's indeed been ten years!

Liu Wuniang nodded, but turned her head to look at Wang Guiyi next to her. Seeing this, Wang Guiyi said, "Since the establishment of the Beggar Gang, the beggar gang has punished the stubborn for the rivers and lakes several times and stabilized the general of the Wulin Building, but the date of the establishment of the Beggar Gang was too simple, with the intention of your ancestor and the Shaolin Fang Zheng master, I want you to lead the Beggar Gang to do a grand celebration on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of its establishment!" The monk said to the Buddha, "This move is an opportunity to show my decent strength and deter Xiaoxiao!"

Soon, after the date was agreed, Wang Guiyi and the others left in a hurry after a few more words of advice to Zhao Weiming. After seeing a few people go away, Zhao Weiming's brows immediately furrowed. When Zhao Chengzong saw it, he asked, 'Why is my father worried?' 'It is not for anything else, but it is really my beggar gang that although the helm of Lanzhou occupies a wide area, there are many private houses among them, and it is inconvenient to live with the residents on weekdays; 'It's not difficult to solve at this time, there is a great place for the child to go, I wonder if you would like to put the celebration here?' 'Where is it?' Zhao Weiming's eyes lit up.

"The horse camp outside Luoyang City!" Zhao Chengzong replied and said slowly, "This is the birthplace of Emperor Taizu, and there is also his father's ancestral property here; Because he had heard that since Li Yuanhao abdicated the current Western Xia Kingdom, the new ruler of the country who succeeded to the throne was too indulgent to his subordinates, and his subordinate generals had the desire to invite merit, which led to repeated wars on the border between the two countries, which seemed to have become the biggest threat to the Song Dynasty today.

Now I heard that the helmsman of the beggar gang can go here, the place is spacious, and it can defend the country, naturally it is very good. So, while arranging for Hong Qi to go and gather the brothers in the gang and prepare to set up the venue, he asked Zhao Chengzong to report to Renzong immediately. After everything was arranged, Zhao Weiming, who wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, heard the next person come to report, "Old prince, there is a Taoist named Lin Mufeng outside the door who asks to see you!"

When he was young, Lin Mufeng, who was about to hold a thing, was brought in. Seeing Lin Mufeng, Zhao Weiming hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "What is so important?" Lin Mufeng opened the object in his hand and handed it to Zhao Weiming, "But where the Jianghu sect is a sect, there must be a token of the head of the family; In view of this, your ancestor specially entrusted me with a jade staff that you honored him many years ago as a token of the head of your beggar gang. After speaking, after seeing Zhao Weiming put away the jade staff, Lin Mufeng immediately said that there was something wrong and hurriedly left the palace marshal's mansion.

Located outside Luoyang City, the Jiama camp. Since the Tang Dynasty, it has been used as an important military place to defend the capital. After the establishment of the Song Dynasty, as the birthplace of Taizu, it was naturally more favored by the imperial court. Not only did the camp increase, but the number of villages where families could be housed, until it stretched hundreds of miles. On weekdays, millions of garrisons and their families shuttle between villages, towns, and streets, and the bustling scene of the bazaar is in no way inferior to the prosperity of Luoyang City, the capital of the city. What a deformed and bustling rural city!

However, after the Song Dynasty moved its capital to Bianliang, due to the subsequent relocation of the garrison and their families, 'the white clouds and dogs, the vicissitudes of time'; after several decades, the glitz and glitz of the 'Jiama Camp' were reduced to a barren land infested by foxes and rabbits, except for a few sparse households. But in recent days, however, there seems to have been a change here, when a group of charlatans dressed as beggars have not only renovated a large piece of land and erected an open hood around it, but also piled up an earthen platform about several feet high in the center of the open canopy. At this time, the commander who was busy in the crowd was Hong Qi, who had been ordered by the division to come to prepare for the celebration of the 10th anniversary of the founding of the Beggar Gang a few days later.

At this moment, he glanced at the work achievements of the past few days, and then counted the days, but he couldn't help frowning when he didn't see the master coming. Just as he was thinking about it, someone had gently patted him on the shoulder, 'Qi'er, you're tired!' and the master's voice came from his ears. turned his head and saw that it was Zhao Weiming. I saw that his outfit was still the same, but there was an extra jade staff in his hand. 'Master, ..... are you?' Hong Qi asked, pointing to the jade staff. "But all the rivers and lakes sects, there must be a token of the head of the sect, and the token of our beggar gang is this staff!" Zhao Weiming smiled.

Seeing that Hong Qi was quite interested in the jade scepter, Zhao Weiming inspected the venue with Hong Qi and introduced the origin of the jade scepter to him in detail. After a round of inspection, Zhao Weiming, who was quite satisfied with Hong Qi's preparation work, was so happy that he taught Hong Qi the stick method that he had realized recently. Speaking of the origin of the stick method, Zhao Weiming told Hong Qi: This stick method has a total of 36 styles, because it was taken from the scene of watching Li Hongsleeve, Zhao Jingniang and wild dogs frolicking and fighting on Xiaguang Island that day, so it is called 'dog stick method'. As he spoke, several figures dressed as monks and Taoists approached. When he learned that these people were Lingxu Dao Master and Master Fang Zheng specially sent in advance to help the beggars prepare for the celebration, Zhao Weiming's master and apprentice hurriedly welcomed them into the temporarily built helmsman room to rest.
