The 14th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty is destined to be an extraordinary year. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The death of Zhang Juzheng, the former minister of the imperial court, caused turmoil that lasted for many years, and tens of thousands of ministers and princes were implicated, and countless people were either fame and fortune or their families were ruined.
However, before this hustle and bustle was completely over, Shenzong Zhu Yijun ordered the execution of Feng Bao, the great eunuch of the former death ceremony palm print and the governor of the Dongchang factory, which once again set off a new round of panic.
The fall of the two ministers who took care of their lives successively made the entire Ming Dynasty and the opposition in the Ming Dynasty rumor, and the ministers were all in danger and had to unite to fight against Tianwei.
Even Shenzong Zhu Yijun's biological mother, the Queen Mother, was very dissatisfied with her son because of this and stood on the side of the ministers of the court.
As a result, the self-righteous Shenzong soon tasted the bitter wine he had brewed.
His third onslaught on the abolished prince was taken over by the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces and his mother Queen Mother, and the Wenchen generals used this as the cornerstone to set off an overwhelming counteroffensive.
Shenzong Zhu Yijun was exhausted again and again, and finally couldn't resist the attack of the courtiers and the queen mother, and was completely defeated.
However, Zhu Yijun was not ready to compromise, and he adopted another kind of resistance, which was criticized as almost extreme, to stop the government and tired of government.
Since then, Zhu Yijun has never been in the early court, and has been hanging out in the harem every day and having fun with confidants such as Zheng Guifei.
Even the urgent recitals sent by the ministers were often ignored by him.
However, the world cannot be without an owner for a day, the country cannot be without a monarch for a day, Shenzong Zhu Yijun is tired of politics and quitting the dynasty, and there must be someone to make a decision for him.
This person is Jiang Jingzhong, the new eunuch of Si Li's palm seal, who succeeded Feng Bao as the governor of the East Factory.
Jiang Jingzhong can be literate and martial, and is good at figuring out the mind of the Divine Sect, so he is very loved by Zhu Yijun, not only handed over all the authority of the former minister Feng Bao to him, but also broke the ancestral system and asked Jiang Jingzhong to review and perform on his behalf.
Since then, Shenzong Zhu Yijun has been the nominal king of a country, while Jiang Jingzhong, the governor of Dongchang Factory, is the actual ruler of the government, and he is really above tens of thousands of people under one person.
Jiang Jingzhong is insidious and cunning, far from being comparable to Zhu Yijun of the Divine Sect.
Shenzong had no way to take the queen mother and the Manchu Dynasty, but Jiang Jingzhong was able to take advantage of the opportunity to control the government and do whatever he wanted.
saw that he first installed some henchmen among the courtiers, used these henchmen to provoke discord among the courtiers, and then deliberately released some gossip to make the queen mother suspicious of the ministers and divide the relationship between them.
Gradually, Jiang Jingzhong installed more and more henchmen among the ministers, and the voices that dared to oppose him became smaller and smaller, especially because he was awake and careful and did not arouse the suspicion of the Queen Mother at all.
Slowly, the Manchu civil and military forces who originally dared to die to admonish the Son of Heaven became Jiang Jingzhong's subordinates who bowed down to obey the sound of the worm, the court and the opposition were Jiang Jingzhong's henchmen, and the military generals were Jiang Jingzhong's relatives.
If Jiang Jingzhong is given some more time, if Jiang Jingzhong is not a eunuch, then this big tomorrow will probably fall into his hands sooner or later.
But there are dried fruits and fruits in this world, but there are no such ifs in the nine heavens and ten lands, all over the world, thousands of years of tradition can not be changed in one moment, and Jiang Jingzhong, a eunuch, cannot be a eunuch after all.
Even once Shenzong Zhu Yijun regained his power in charge of the government, all this he has now will disappear, but he still ends up in a different place with his martial arts skills of Feng Bao, the former governor of Dongchang.
In order to prevent this day, Jiang Jingzhong had to do his best to accumulate strength in the days when he was in power, and finally he succeeded.
This court is everywhere his cronies, who does not obey him in this Manchu Dynasty, and how many military expenses in these four directions and ten places are held in his hands.
Jiang Jingzhong is confident, don't say that Shenzong Zhu Yijun, even if Taizu is resurrected, he will not want to get rid of him, just because the Ming Dynasty in this world is inseparable from him Jiang Jingzhong, he tied himself to the life gate of the imperial court, and he was both prosperous and lost.
But Jiang Jingzhong couldn't imagine that one day he would not die in the open and secret battles above the court, not in the tyranny of the Son of Heaven who accompanied the king like a tiger, but died in the rivers and lakes that he had never looked down on......
On that day, a big battle between the Seven Great Sects and the Xuanluo Divine Sect was in full swing, and Dongchang also wanted to take the opportunity to get a piece of the pie, especially with Tianqi, the master of the Tianhuo Gate, secretly ventilating the news.
Jiang Jingzhong was sure to take this opportunity to make such a restless force as the Central Plains Martial Arts suffer heavy losses, but what he never expected was that the operation not only failed in the end, but even took his own life.
As soon as the news of Jiang Jingzhong's death came out, there were still many people who refused to believe that a generation of powerful ministers would fall like this, but as time passed, these people couldn't help but believe it.
So the court was in chaos, and the world was in chaos......
Without Jiang Jingzhong's checks and balances, the partisan struggle above the court suddenly broke out, and the friction between the armies in various places also escalated in an instant.
The entire Ming Dynasty is like a huge pastry, and Jiang Jingzhong is the lid blocking this pastry, and now the lid has been removed, and the pastry is exposed to the eyes of the whole world.
Everyone wants to be the new master of this pastry, and everyone wants to take a bite of this pastry.
The world is full of smoke, and those who should have put out the smoke are all focused on how to eat pastries.
As a result, the flames of war became more and more intense, and the flames that rose to the sky not only woke up the fierce beasts lurking on the land of Kyushu, but also attracted the coveting of alien jackals.
Oda Nobunaga, the most powerful man in Fuso and known as the hegemon of the world, took advantage of the civil strife in the Ming Dynasty to send his army to invade Goryeo, but captured most of the country in ten days.
Later, he was greedy and used Goryeo as a springboard in a vain attempt to invade the border of the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time, Oda Nobunaga also sent large ships to transport troops to the coastal area of Ludong to burn and loot.
In addition to Fusang abroad, in addition to the Tatar State in the north, Turpan in the west, and the Jurchen tribes in the east are also ready to move on the border, although the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are numerous, but they have not repaired their armaments for many years, and Qi Jiguang, the pillar of the country, was transferred to Guangdong by Jiang Jingzhong's design, and the whole line was in an emergency for a while.
Stepping up the military situation and asking for help, the secret report drifted to Shuntianfu like snowflakes.
Even if Zhu Yijun of the Divine Sect was mediocre, he had to withdraw from the harem fat powder and sit on the Jinluan Hall again.
However, looking at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, they were only flatterers, and none of the Qing ministers such as Zhang Juzheng, who was the chief of the Qing Dynasty in the past, even the civil and military generals who dared to argue with him back then, did not know where Jiang Jingzhong fell.
After ignoring the government for a few years, and sitting on the throne again, he felt that he was suddenly at a loss for what to do, and he was about to accept the orders of several generals to go on the expedition, but now the war is raging, and the generals who were pointed out either suddenly said that they were ill, or they did not dare to accept the order on the spot.
It was easy to find a few newborn calves who were not afraid of tigers and dared to go to the front line to fight, and hastily bowed to the general and let him lead the troops to the battle, but soon the news of defeat and flight came back.
At this time, Shenzong Zhu Yijun finally remembered a name - Qi Jiguang, drafted a holy decree overnight, ordered people to be sent to Guangdong for 800 miles, and summoned Qi Jiguang, the governor of Guangdong, to return to Beijing to serve as a ......
Xuanshan Peak Fengyun Hall
The traces of the tiger squatting artillery bombardment that day had already been swept away, and the damaged bluestone had also been replaced with new ones, completely restoring the grandeur of the past, and there was no scorched earth.
In the Fengyun Hall, the thirty-six rudder masters of the Xuanluo Divine Sect gathered here, and on the upper throne in the hall, Xiao Yao was holding his forehead with his hands and closing his eyes in contemplation.
Risheng Xie Jingtao stood beside him, his expression was slightly anxious, but it was more of an exuberance, and there was also a faint joy between the eyebrows of the thirty-six helmsmen who knelt down in the same hall.
On that day, Xiao Yao was finally pushed to the position of the leader of the Xuanluo Divine Sect, with the strong support of the Sun and Moon Twin Saints and the various sects of the Central Plains, the Xuanluo Divine Sect was quickly rectified and renewed.
Those scum of the rivers and lakes collected by Wu Ming, the immovable king of the underworld, were all expelled from the religion, and those who made big mistakes were even abolished martial arts, and even those who were entangled in evil were executed in public to set an example.
After this change, the number of people in the Xuanluo Divine Sect has shrunk to forty percent of its peak, but the Xuanluo Divine Sect, which has gained the birth of the heart, has been unprecedentedly united in the hearts of the people although it has fallen in momentum.
One by one, talented people were excavated by Xie Jingtao and Xu Qingxuan to fill important positions in the church.
In Xiao Yao's opinion, whether it is the Sun Saint Xie Jingtao or the Moon Saint Xu Qingxuan, or even the Mahu Luojia Cang, each of them is a great talent in the world, and each of them has extraordinary abilities, so that any of them are more competent than him as the sect leader, and for a while, he was greatly impressed by the vision of Emperor Xuan back then.
It's just that he privately tried to give up the position of sect leader three times and twice, but instead of getting rid of this hot potato, it attracted endless preaching from these three people, and over time, he didn't dare to mention this matter again.
However, this time the Xuanluo Divine Sect was divided into thirty-six rudders, and the dignitaries from all over the Xuanshan Mountain gathered in Fengyun Hall, and the Sun Saint Xie Jingtao, the Moon Saint Xu Qingxuan, and Mohu Luojia Cang all attended, which was really unprecedented, and if others saw such a scene, they would be shocked, and even guess whether the pattern of the Central Plains martial arts was about to change.
However, Xiao Yao knew that the decision he was going to make this time was not only related to the pattern of the Central Plains martial arts, but even to the general trend of the entire world.
The Mohu Luojia next to him was reckless, seeing that Xiao Yao closed his eyes and pondered for a long time without opening his mouth, he seemed to be a little anxious, and urged: "Stink..." As soon as he said a word, he was glared at by the Sun Sage Xie Jingtao, and he was also familiar with Xiao Yao on weekdays, and there was no city government that always called Xiao Yao 'stinky boy', but what is the scene at this time, if it is really called out 'stinky boy', then where is the majesty of Xiao Yao's sect leader.
Hurriedly giggled and made a strange sound to vague the previous word "stinky", and saluted: "Sect Master, now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity since the establishment of my sect......
