The heavens start with letting the bullets fly
Chapter 1258
Chapter 1258
The female officer's glance was very meaningful.
Chen Zhao knew this well.
Didn't he just want to hide his ability and let Chen Zhao die!
Putting it this way, it seems that today's situation was directed by the emperor himself?
In order to test the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, this guy didn't hesitate to stage such a big show on New Year's Eve?
If this is the case, then Zhu Qizhen is really incompetent, ambitious and talented, and a waste!
And he is a ruthless guy!
Of course, these have nothing to do with Chen Zhao, he didn't care about the emperor's senses towards him at all, he rushed out at this moment, and collided fiercely with those dozens of white-clothed figures in an instant.
"The dog officer wants to die!"
The members of the White Lotus Sect rushing forward, did not expect that Chen Zhao, a family member in official uniform, would have the courage to go against the road, and suddenly dozens of hidden weapons roared towards them with a fierce face and fierce wind.
"Vulnerable!"
Chen Zhao sneered, waving his wide sleeves suddenly, and the wind howled suddenly. The sleeves brought up the sound of hunting wind, and waves of majestic and incomparable true energy roared and raged, like an invisible wall of energy, directly hitting the opponent.
A group of White Lotus Sect members suddenly stood still, and even couldn't help but retreat continuously. As for the hidden weapons whizzing away, they lost their strength and fell halfway.
"Not good, the idea is tricky, everyone be careful!"
The leader reacted in an instant, his face changed drastically, and he yelled a reminder against the gust of wind.
Too bad it's too late...
Chen Zhao stepped forward, every step was like an earthquake on the hard floor, he clenched his fists with both hands and waved them again and again, the fierce and domineering punches, like dense raindrops whizzing down, knocked out a dozen or so powerful Bai Lian in an instant. Christians drowned.
In just a split second, more than a dozen members of the White Lotus Sect flew upside down, screaming and spurting blood from their mouths.
The sound of bang bang bang was endless.
But Chen Zhao stood still, with a calm expression on his face, without any feeling of victory.
Because this group of people were enchanted, even if they were seriously injured, they seemed to be able to walk like the wind, and their true energy showed no sign of exhaustion or weakening.
Interesting, this white lotus magic really makes sense.
This kind of evil magic method is much stronger than the formation of ghosts born in well water in the countryside.
"Ahem, cough, cough, Gouguan's punch is so powerful!"
The Bailian cultist in front of him was actually struggling to get up from the ground, coughing up blood while getting up slowly, looking at Chen Zhao with hatred and cold murderous intent in his eyes.
What surprised Chen Zhao was that the zhenqi martial arts of these Bailian disciples were extremely ordinary, at most a little stronger than Wu Xi, but they were limited, but they could all stand up after receiving so many fierce punches from him!
If the Li Chishui brothers encounter them, even if they attack with flying rocks, they may not be able to defeat them!
This lifeless old mother, Maitreya World Honored One, really has supernatural powers.
As soon as Chen Zhao thought of this, the person on the opposite side suddenly shouted: "Vacuum home, lifeless old mother, please descend to the mortal world and grant us the power of the Great Vajra, disease!"
The leader of the White Lotus cultivator squeezed out a strange formula with both hands, shouted with fanaticism, his body twitched and trembled as if electrified, and the surrounding White Lotus cultivators did the same, as if they had collectively violated the peak of the sheep. chilling.
But what surprised Chen Zhao even more was that just after the group of White Lotus believers completed the ritual of praying to the gods, an extremely pure and terrifying energy suddenly branched out into more than a dozen channels, and was instantly swallowed up by more than a dozen fanatical White Lotus believers. The strange energy fluctuations on the believers suddenly surged.
"The lifeless old mother has boundless magic power, and the divine power of Vajra is invincible!"
All of these White Lotus cultivators suddenly burst into breath, their eyes shone brightly, their muscles swelled, and their entire bodies swelled up in an instant. The muscles all over their bodies were knotted like steel, and they rushed towards Chen Zhao with ferocious faces.
"No birth mother, dare to offend this official!"
Although the strength of these white lotus disciples has greatly increased, they still can't enter his mana. He stands still and swings one hand repeatedly, and suddenly the gangsters line up like shields filled with thousands of catties, and hit the people in front of them again. .
bang bang bang...
A dozen or so people suddenly burst into breath, and their strength suddenly increased by a bit. The white lotus disciples wearing white scarves didn't even have time to snort before being blown away by Chen Zhao's invincible true energy.
But after all, there was sorcery, and these guys suffered such a heavy blow, they just rolled on the ground a few times, then jumped up as if nothing had happened, and rushed up again with hideous faces.
It’s indeed a sorcery, it’s really interesting!
But Chen Zhao didn't care at all.
The White Lotus Sect has been passed down for hundreds of years, with the protection of evil gods, it is normal to know a little evil magic.
Since he broke into the palace to kill the emperor, he naturally used his ability to suppress the bottom of the box!
But no matter how weird and evil their sorcery was, they did not dominate the world.
The world of Jianghu is so vast that it seems to belong to Shaolin Wudang. The famous knights are masters like Ye Gucheng, Dugu Yihe, and Ximen Chuixue. The powerful gangs are the Beggar Gang, Fengwei Gang, and Twelve Links. .
Although the White Lotus Sect is well-known, it is insignificant at all because of its disunity.
Speaking of this, it also shows that there should be great restrictions on the magic of inviting the gods, or there should be great after-effects on the body, otherwise, even if the White Lotus Sect did not unify the world, it would have unified the world long ago.
As long as you think through this section, you will know that even if the group of people in front of you are possessed by supernatural powers, they are not made of iron after all.
So Chen Zhao still only waved his sleeves, counterattacked with mighty zhenqi, and then heard the sound of bang bang again.
A scene that surprised Zhu Qizhen and others who had always been frightened appeared. The dozen or so strongest masters of the White Lotus Sect who were so aggressive before were now like sandbags, being blasted away by Chen Zhao again and again.
Chen Zhao's strength is beyond words.The emperor Zhu Qizhen was terrified, Wei Ziyun and other guards were both envious and awed, and the group of lunatics of the Bailian Cultists were like children in front of Chen Zhao, they were completely powerless to fight back.
Not only were they stunned, but even the Bailian disciples who came before were stunned. Chen Zhao's performance was so tough that these always crazy Bailian believers felt a sense of fear.
Only a few female officials around the emperor looked calm and their eyes were calm.
Obviously, with their strength, they are enough to trick the White Lotus Cultists like this.
So in the eyes of the leading female officer, it seemed that Chen Zhao's martial arts were similar to those of the royal priests.
There seemed to be only one Chen Zhao in the court hall.
However, there were more than a dozen people serving secretly in the palace.
In other words, this Chen Zhao has nothing to worry about and cannot affect the overall situation.
In addition, it seems that he is loyal to His Majesty and does not need to be executed.
……
A strange scene appeared. There were nearly a hundred White Lotus believers who came to assassinate them, but they stopped and were easily stopped by one person. The most powerful ones, a dozen of them, invited gods to take over. They were known as the 'Invincible King Kong Divine Power'. Fanatic believers were blown away again and again like sandbags.
What makes people feel even more frightened is that those dozen fanatic believers are really made of steel and iron.He withstood Chen Zhao's continuous violent Mingjin blows, but he was unscathed except for a bit of embarrassment.
Just for this point alone, the White Lotus Sect's technique of inviting gods is quite terrifying!
However, the appearance of the dozen or so most powerful fanatics has been declining at a speed visible to the naked eye, but after a few rounds, wrinkles have appeared on their faces, and their heads have white hair. They were tough, but the terrifying scene that seemed to have passed decades of time in a short period of time caused everyone in the two directions to feel chills in their hearts.
"Ghost!"
The dozens of Bailian believers were obviously not fanatical enough. Seeing such a horrible scene happening in front of their eyes, they were shocked and stunned. Boom and disperse.
"Bastard bastard, you bastards come back quickly!"
"Run away, Wusheng mother will not let you go!"
"Wait until the dog officer in front of you is dealt with, and then execute you traitors!"
"..."
Without the support of other believers, those people, even if they are possessed by evil gods, are as frustrated as clowns at this moment.
In fact, although the so-called evil method of possession by an inanimate old mother is quite reasonable, it is an evil method after all. Possession by gods consumes one's own blood and vitality.
It can be said that their state of praying to God is supported at the cost of burning their own blood!
The life of God has no limit, but the life of man does.
Human life is limited. No matter how strong he is and how strong his vitality is, his energy, blood and spirit are ultimately limited. Even the most powerful general on the battlefield cannot withstand the continuous consumption of energy and blood for a long time.
Therefore, this kind of evil method is not about inviting gods at all, but using secret methods to temporarily increase your strength by losing longevity, energy, and blood!
Therefore, although the White Lotus Sect has been passed down for hundreds of years, if the unique skill at the bottom of the box is this kind of skill, it also explains why he will never be able to create a greater momentum. It is neither the right way nor the magic method. The invincible state lasts longer.
This method is similar to Gongsun Zan!
Every battle must use the white horse Yi Cong, invincible in the land of Youyan, powerful outside the Great Wall, Yuan Shao was disgraced at the beginning.
But after he exhausted Baima Yicong, he could only sit in a lonely city, waiting to die!
The White Lotus Sect may be invincible against ordinary Jianghu gangs by relying on these secret methods, but when he encounters a gang with deep knowledge and many masters, how many times can he use this secret method?
But now facing Chen Zhao, being hit repeatedly by his incomparable qi, the life force will naturally be consumed faster.
So Chen Zhao didn't like this method.
Besides, he has not used his full strength, but only used some methods of internal energy.Putting it in the rivers and lakes is almost at the level of Chuuxue at the West Gate of Yegu City. The limited attack power has caused the White Lotus Cultists to "resurrection" again and again.
"Don't be complacent, Dog Official. As long as our divine power persists, what can you do to us?"
The dozen or so White Lotus disciples who invited the upper body of the gods obviously didn't notice the amazing changes in themselves, or even if they found out, they didn't care, and sneered with fanaticism on their faces.
"Then continue, let's see how long the blood in your body can last!"
Chen Zhao sneered calmly and continued to wave his sleeves gently, releasing infinite energy. .
Then, the group of White Lotus Cultists were blown to the ground again, but they were unable to get up.
Under the watchful eye of the emperor, guards, female officials, and some officials, eunuchs, maids, and guards who followed, these dozen White Lotus believers looked like 90-[-]-year-old men, with white eyebrows and white hair, faces full of wrinkles, and full strength. Completely exhausted, unable to get up.
"Oh, my hand. Why did my hand become like this?"
"I, I, I, I can't get up!"
"Mother Wusheng, don't abandon us!"
"..."
Suddenly, these dozen White Lotus believers were lying on the ground unable to get up. They also finally discovered something strange about their bodies, and they screamed again and again, their voices old and hoarse, and they were indescribably strange.
"You can't live by doing your own crimes. Even if the old mother of Wusheng really exists, how can you guys just draw the power of God to your body?"
Chen Zhao said these words lightly, with a look of disdain on his face, and returned to the area where Zhu Qizhen was, as if he wasn't the one who showed off his power just now.
For a moment, there were only a dozen or so White Lotus Sect members wailing in the audience.
Zhu Qizhen and other officials all looked horrified and extremely shocked.
Facing Chen Zhao's extremely powerful and domineering strength, everyone was completely shocked and speechless!
They are much clearer than Chen Zhao about how scared the lunatics of the White Lotus Cult are, especially those lunatics of the White Lotus Cult who can invite gods to their bodies. They are even more powerful and invulnerable. Even higher levels won't work.
Even a famous master like Lu Xiaofeng would have no choice but to run away when he meets them!
It is precisely because of this that although the White Lotus Sect has been suppressed by the imperial court and Jianghu, it is still an extremely difficult force to deal with.
But they never expected that the dozen or so White Lotus believers who asked the gods to get on top of them would be treated so badly by Chen Zhao, and now they were directly fucked to the ground and unable to get up.
What made them even more horrified was the astonishing changes that had taken place in the White Lotus believers.
Such a good young and strong man, his body was wrinkled and aging in a short period of time, such a terrifying sight really made them feel scared and unbelievable.
"Your Majesty, let's hurry up and join the Royal Horse Prison and the Royal Guards!"
Chen Zhao came and spoke loudly, his tone was flat, as if no life-and-death struggle had happened at all.
"Okay, okay, hurry up and join the Royal Horse Prison and the Royal Guards!"
With a super master like Chen Zhao by his side, Zhu Qizhen felt at ease for a moment, and instantly regained the demeanor of a generation of emperors. He waved his hand and made a decision directly.
"Your Majesty, what if there are traitors from the White Lotus cult on the other side?"
At this time, Wang An was panicked, and he quickly followed up while reminding in a low voice: "Your Majesty's body of gold can't be in danger!"
"Is there any place in the entire palace that is not dangerous?"
Zhu Qizhen didn't stop, turned his head and glanced at Wang An lightly, and said, "As long as Chen Zhao is here, you and I will be safe, there is no need to be afraid of things!"
Wang An was submissive, but he was very happy in his heart.
Say something in front of the emperor at this time, then when the emperor thinks of this incident in the future, he will definitely remember the people around him. Except for Chen Zhao, Wang An is the only one left.
Because Wang An talked to him!
"Chen Zhao, what happened to those lunatics from the White Lotus Cult just now, why did they suddenly become old?"
After walking for a while, Zhu Qizhen couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked Chen Zhao: "Isn't this incredible?"
"Nothing incredible!"
Chen Zhao smiled softly and replied leisurely: "It's not that fun to pray to the gods. Every time you use your divine power, you need to consume the qi and blood in the body. The more qi and blood are consumed, the life span will be consumed quickly. Later, it will naturally disappear. It’s become like that!”
Zhu Qizhen and a group of people around him couldn't help shivering when they heard the words, but the fear of the Bailian cult in their hearts suddenly decreased a lot.
If you think about it, if there is no sequelae at all in inviting the gods, I am afraid that the White Lotus Cult has already unified the world or the world, how could it be suppressed by the imperial court and the world?
"I see!"
Zhu Qizhen showed relief on his face, and then turned ferocious again, and said in a cold voice: "I didn't expect that the gang of Bailian remnants would have the courage to jump out, this time I will definitely follow the example of Emperor Taizong and completely destroy the White Lotus Sect!! "
After entering the Yumajian camp and the emperor took control of the army, the palace began to return to normal!
There was an army on the move, and there were no fierce assassins who could single-handedly take on an army, so they were naturally killed one by one.
The chaos in the palace barely came to an end until the sky was about to dawn.
The entire palace was in a mess, with fallen corpses and the pungent smell of blood everywhere.Because of the cold weather, these corpses and blood have frozen into ice, which looks even more terrifying and astonishing.
According to rough statistics, there were hundreds of concubines, beauties and court ladies who died in this chaos in the palace. The most heartbreaking thing today is that Xu Wang Zhu Jianchun, who ranked fourth, died in the chaos. Several important officials and dignitaries who participated in the palace banquet also died , can be described as a heavy loss.
Zhu Qizhen was furious and ordered a thorough investigation into the assassins' infiltration into the palace. He believed that soon the palace would be filled with blood and heads again.
As for Chen Zhao, Zhu Qizhen will naturally try to win him over!
On the first day of the Lunar New Year's Day in the fourth year of Mingshun, Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty bestowed on Chen Zhao the title of Loyal and Brave Uncle.
After the decree spread throughout the capital, the civil and military officials of the entire court were shocked, but could only marvel.
Since ancient times, there is no higher merit than rescuing people. Chen Zhao is not only a young Jinshi, but also has the merit of rescuing people. To win a loyal and brave lord, he can be regarded as a reward for his life.So no one questioned it.
Thinking back to the incident of seizing the gate, Sun Tang did nothing and was named Huai Ning Bo because he pretended to be the one to seize the gate. This treatment was much higher than that of Chen Zhao.
In the next two days, Chen Zhao was "busy" as usual, and the law and order in the capital was very good for a while, but of course the people staying at home for the New Year couldn't feel it.
However, the court and the harem began to set off bloody storms. After several days of investigation, Zhu Qizhen finally started to attack some guys in the court and harem who might have an affair with the White Lotus Sect.
For a moment, the court was shaken, and the harem was even more panicked, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn and solemn.
A series of orders to search the houses came out from the palace and were sent directly to the yamen of Wucheng Bingmasi and Shuntian Mansion. Chen Zhao personally led a group of cheerful yamen servants to ransack the homes of several officials.
Needless to mention the chaos, howling and despair during the period, a family of officials who were once high and high suddenly became ruined, and a pampered lady was suddenly held on the street and sold directly. Needless to say how miserable it is.
For a moment, Chen Zhao was on the sidelines, and bought a total of eight official ladies between the ages of eight and fifteen. As for the maids, he also bought a lot of maids at low prices.
certainly.After buying them home, he left them alone and left Xu Ting to take care of them.
Although Xu Ting has little experience in the world, she was able to return in time, which shows that her house fighting skills are still good. After a little observation, Chen Zhao found that she was almost as good as Sister Feng he met in the world of red chambers, so he completely let go.
On the fourth day after the shocking incident at the Danian Palace Banquet, an urgent battle report suddenly came from Henan, and the White Lotus Sect rebelled...
Obviously, facing the sudden rebellion launched by the White Lotus Sect, Zhu Qizhen had already known it well!
So when he suddenly encountered the assassination in the Forbidden Palace, he didn't lose his mind.
Not only Zhu Qizhen knew it well, but all the old foxes in the court knew it well, and they were obviously mentally prepared for the White Lotus Rebellion.
Naturally, Zhu Qizhen couldn't do without a fit of rage, and a group of courtiers had to yell at him, and then the counter-insurgency affairs were arranged in an orderly manner, and even a fool could see the tricks in it.
Some soldiers of the Beijing camp were ordered to prepare for departure immediately, and at the same time the surrounding garrisons will be dispatched for a verdict.
Chen Zhao has no interest in these things, because they have nothing to do with him.
Although Zhu Qizhen knew that he was a super strong general, it was impossible for him to join the army due to various scruples.
What's more, in this era, unless you love military affairs and have been operating as a soldier from the beginning, joining the army as a literati is simply a humiliation to the literati.
However, there are not a few people who want to take the train to counter the rebellion.
The Huai Ning Bo Sun Mandarin, the Huairou Bo Chen Huai, and the Ning Yuan Bo Ren Li all sent their children to fight against the rebels in order to advance.
Of course, when the imperial court's counter-insurgency army was dispatched immediately, relevant officials also began to be appointed.
After all, there was a local rebellion, but there was almost no news from the local officials. A crime of failure to defend the land could not escape.
Therefore, after discussing with everyone in the cabinet, Zhu Qizhen planned to conduct a major official exchange in Henan and Shandong.
This is called grasping with both hands, both hands must be hard!
Among them, Liu Jian, the editor of the Hanlin Academy and a concubine, was appointed as the magistrate of Zhangqiu in Quancheng Prefecture, and his official rank was Congwupin.
After Liu Jian received the appointment, he was surprised at first, and then admired Chen Zhao's foresight.
People can discover big moves from the clues of the court's every move, and they can really be one step ahead in the same year.
In fact, the rebellion in Henan Province has been planned for a long time. Local officials have either been bought by the White Lotus Sect, or have been evaded by local tyrants.
According to the plan of the White Lotus Sect, they launched an attack in the Forbidden Palace. It would be best if they could kill the emperor.
In this way, they have a greater chance of winning when they launch a rebellion in Henan.
It has to be said that the White Lotus Sect in Henan has more stable power, greater ambition, and stronger action capabilities.
I don’t know how high it is compared to a pile of scattered sand in other places.
According to the information reported by Yuan Bin from Jinyiwei Dutang, Zhu Qizhen already knew that although the White Lotus Rebellion had just started, they had already become a phenomenon, and their numbers were inflated like balloons.
Because they not only colluded with the wealthy gentry, but also united with the farmers of Hebei, Shandong and Henan who had gone bankrupt due to Ma Zheng, formed a cavalry army, attacked officers and soldiers in the field everywhere, and achieved many victories.
But Zhu Qizhen saw another hidden worry, that is, there were many martial arts masters among the rebels. They acted as charging arrows for the rebels and killed local officials one after another, so that the rebels, who did not have many weapons at hand, were defeated. The main reason for capturing nearly ten counties in a row.
The masters of martial arts use it to their advantage, and the deterrent effect produced is no worse than that of the army.
After receiving the news, Zhu Qizhen immediately aroused great vigilance. The rebel army was easy to deal with, but it was really difficult to deal with these powerful martial artists.
Especially those guys with high martial arts skills can even ignore the protection of the city wall, which will be a great hidden danger to the city wall defense of prefectures and counties in Henan.
What Zhu Qizhen is most worried about is that the White Lotus Cultists hidden in various places will unite with the rebel army. With the madman-like destructive power of the White Lotus Cultists, after the Henan rebellion is put down, the hinterland of the Central Plains will be ruined. ?
And Henan is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, so it would be really bad if the disorderly army flees, maybe the entire Central Plains land will fall into turmoil, and the foundation of the Ming Dynasty will really be in danger of being shaken.
The Tang Sai'er riot decades ago, although it was extinguished in just over a month, it still caused a strong destructive force, and even Liu Zhong, the deputy commander in chief, was attacked and killed.
Zhu Qizhen is not willing to repeat the same mistakes.
Zhu Qizhen has suffered enough since the change of Tumubao, so at his stage, he attaches great importance to the reputation behind him, and he doesn't want to do some actions that will make people laugh at him.
Therefore, the civil unrest in Henan must be taken down in one fell swoop, and the rebellious army cannot be given a little respite!
Otherwise, when the scope of the civil unrest spreads and the more masters of the rivers and lakes join in, it will be even more difficult to deal with it.
Thinking that the generals who lead the army in countering the rebellion will face the endless stream of assassins from the rivers and lakes, Zhu Qizhen feels dizzy for a while. Once the leading generals are not selected well, it is not to quell the rebellion, but to give experience to the rebellious army .
With so many unfavorable conditions, the generals sent to quell the rebellion not only have strong military command capabilities, but also must pass the test of their own force. There are indeed many generals who have gone to the DPRK and China, but to quell a civil rebellion requires If you hold back your big move, what will people in the world think of him as an emperor?
During the national war, he was extremely reckless, but to quell the civil strife, he sent a pillar general?
Isn't this stupid and embarrassing?
If you think about it this way, it seems that only that guy is suitable.
It's just that he is really too young!
Even if the children of the Duke of England and the Duke of Cheng's family lead the army at such a young age, I'm afraid they won't be able to command the army!
Well, wait, let him, as a loyal and brave prince, hold Shangfang's sword, go out on tour according to the order, and punish the gangsters in the rivers and lakes!
Thinking of this, Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but feel happy.
Time flies and time flies, and four years have passed in a blink of an eye.
Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, who was fatuous and incompetent and twice emperor, died. Prince Zhu Jianshen succeeded to the throne and changed the Yuan Dynasty to Chenghua. Although Zhu Jianshen was young, he was wise and tolerant. In the early years of his reign, he restored the title of emperor Zhu Qiyu and redressed Yu Qian's grievances. Appointing wise ministers such as Shang Lu and others to govern the country can be said to have the demeanor of a king.
As soon as he took office, he paid attention to promoting talents. He summoned Liu Jian, who was the envoy of Nanzhili at that time, and Li Dongyang, who was also a magistrate of Hangzhou, into the capital to serve as the Young Master of Zhan's Mansion. When the prince grew up, he would speak to the East Palace. official.
At the Yangtze River Wharf in Jinling City, Liu Jianzheng, in his 20s, is full of heroism and looks like a gentleman, with a deep sense of elegance all over his body.
At this time, he was standing in the flower hall in the backyard of the Yamen, watching with reluctance the servants at home, loading boxes and boxes of belongings and transporting them away.
"My husband is deeply favored by Long. We are going to work in Beijing this time, but you must be careful, do things wholeheartedly, and don't get caught up in party disputes. Everything is respected for the country. I must be my husband's backing!"
Mrs. Wang looked at Liu Jian with a smile, admiration on her face.
My husband is really a great fortune, he sought to be released when the first emperor was in his old age, and then he could enter the capital when the new emperor ascended the throne, showing his grand plans, it is really great.
"Madam is really my good helper." Liu Jian sighed slightly, and then said proudly: "Although today's son has just ascended the throne, the Mingjun has already shown signs. Just restore the title of Daizong and redress the injustice of Shaobao, and win the hearts of the world. Serving for such a sage king is sure to be rewarding, and our grand plans are unfolding right in front of our eyes."
Having said that, he sighed again: "Speaking of which, Li Dongyang and I are quite proud of each other, but compared with Brother Ziheng, we are still far behind!"
He is now in the capital as the Shao Zhanshi of the Zhanshi Mansion with the official position of Inspector Qianshi of Nanzhili. Like Li Dongyang, he is from the fourth rank.
But his best friend Chen Zhaofeng Ziheng had already returned to the Ministry of Punishment at this time and became the left servant of the Ministry of Punishment.
You know, Chen Zhaoke was only 20 years old, and he was already a high official in the court. He was on the same court as Shangshu in the Ministry of Punishment, and he was like a small mountain.
The reason was that when he inspected Henan, he assisted the army in killing the rebels one by one, which made the army's counterinsurgency extremely smooth.
So at this point, although Chen Zhao is young, he is sure of his work, knows how to advance and retreat, and is generous in his conduct. Regardless of the civil servant system or the military commander system, Chen Zhao has considerable influence. What is even more terrifying is that amazing With martial arts, one person can defeat thousands of troops. Whether it is protecting the sky or calming down the war, he has made great contributions.
Therefore, although he is only 20 years old, his status in the court is not ordinary.
Few people can match the young talents throughout the ages!
While Liu Jian sighed with his wife, he took his wife Wang, his four-year-old eldest son Liu Lai, and his two-year-old second son Liu Dong to the dock in a carriage and boarded the ship back to Beijing.
Since they were sensible, it was the first time for the two children to board such a spacious and beautiful official ship. They couldn't help cheering and running around. marvel.It was only hard work for the maidservant, who chased after the two brothers and couldn't stop yelling, one mouthful and one little ancestor shouting very loudly.
Soon, the two brothers were sweating and very tired. They were immediately sent to the cabin by a group of maids and women to freshen up. After changing into fresh clothes, they came over and gathered next to their parents to listen to their father's talk about the capital. 's story.
Liu Jian looked at the two sons, and said with a smile: "For the father, you are a good friend on the same list. He is a great person. He got married the year before last, and the child is almost two years old. He is about the same age as Dong'er. You will definitely become good friends." of……"
And in a small tavern not far from Jinling Wharf, two handsome young men were having a drink, watching the scene of Liu's family getting on the boat at the wharf, but they smiled in unison.
"Brother Huai'an, that is Liu Jian and Liu Xixian, who are on the same list as my elder brother. He is currently the inspector of Nanzhili. This time, he will be an official of the East Palace in Beijing. It must be of great use!" Young people up to the age of 20, with keen eyesight, heroic vigor, and very flexible eyes, looked at Liu Jian who was like a jade tree facing the wind on the pier and asked.
"Brother Chishui, your eldest brother is Lin Shilang. It is said that he is a close friend with this Liu Qianshi. Don't you know each other?"
The man named Huai'an looked heroic and extraordinary, as if he were a general on the battlefield, but he had the demeanor of a scholar and asked with a smile.
"Brother Huai'an, it's true that Brother Feng and I are sworn brothers, but we met in our early teens. In the past few years, I have been practicing martial arts on Xiandu Mountain and have been exchanging letters. Naturally, I have never met Mr. Liu. Besides, , he is an official and I am a citizen, so I am not qualified to know him!"
Brother Chishui looked helpless.
"Hehe, that's how it is, that's how it is." Brother Huai'an smiled lightly, his eyes moved and he teased: "Speaking of which, Brother Chishui is a native of the capital, and things on the street are clear. With profound skills in your body, you can develop great ambitions!"
"Hey, brother Huai'an was joking, joking!"
Brother Chishui had a humble mouth and a very indifferent expression on his face. He shook his head and said with a smile: "When I was in the capital, I was just a little beggar who was bullied by a few beggars. I'm nothing more than a bone in the wilderness now."
Brother Chishui is Chen Zhao's sworn brother, Li Chishui, a rookie from Xiandu School.
After he met Chen Zhao and Xu Ting, he joined the Xiandu School by chance to learn art by chance, and by chance, he assisted Qiu Moyan with Xu Ting, helped Zhou Huaian kill Cao Shaoqin and Dongchang masters, and saved Yang Yuxuan's descendants, so he and Zhou in front of him Huai'an, it's a fateful friendship.
After that incident, he returned to Xiandu Mountain to continue his studies, and now four years have passed, and he has long since lost his old beggar spirit, and has become a heroic young hero, who is quite famous in Jiangnan martial arts .
This time I received a letter from my elder brother Chen Zhao, saying that since he has completed martial arts, he will return to Beijing to help him with things and create a new situation together.
So all the way to the north in fresh clothes and angry horses, passing by Jinling this day, happened to meet Zhou Huai'an, his former lifelong friend, so they sat down and had a drink together in this small tavern.
After the two chatted, Li Chishui couldn't help being both surprised and delighted: "It turns out that Brother Huai'an is going to Beijing too!"
"Yes, the first emperor passed away, and now he ascends the throne. As soon as he takes the throne, he will show the image of a Mingjun, restore the honor of Emperor Jingtai, and redress the grievances of Shaobao. The bones of Yang Yuxuan and Master Yang also need to be buried again. Now, Zhou will have to go to the capital to do some work, both public and private."
Zhou Huaian smiled lightly and said lightly.
It turns out that five years ago, Zhou Huaian contacted the righteous men in the Jianghu, rescued Yang Yuxuan's flesh and blood, beheaded Cao Shaoqin and his party at the Longmen Inn, and took Yang Yuxuan's flesh and blood to the outside of the Great Wall.
Although he was a righteous man in the world, and many bigwigs in the court secretly wrote letters of appreciation to him, but after all, he killed the emperor's servant, and if the emperor didn't nod, he was a criminal.
Now that the Yingzong has passed away and the new emperor has come to power, he has granted a general amnesty to the whole world. Naturally, his heroic deeds were praised by the court.
On the one hand, he came to Beijing to rebury the master Yang Yuxuan, and on the other hand, he sought to revive and give Qiu Moyan a royal decree.
(End of this chapter)
The female officer's glance was very meaningful.
Chen Zhao knew this well.
Didn't he just want to hide his ability and let Chen Zhao die!
Putting it this way, it seems that today's situation was directed by the emperor himself?
In order to test the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, this guy didn't hesitate to stage such a big show on New Year's Eve?
If this is the case, then Zhu Qizhen is really incompetent, ambitious and talented, and a waste!
And he is a ruthless guy!
Of course, these have nothing to do with Chen Zhao, he didn't care about the emperor's senses towards him at all, he rushed out at this moment, and collided fiercely with those dozens of white-clothed figures in an instant.
"The dog officer wants to die!"
The members of the White Lotus Sect rushing forward, did not expect that Chen Zhao, a family member in official uniform, would have the courage to go against the road, and suddenly dozens of hidden weapons roared towards them with a fierce face and fierce wind.
"Vulnerable!"
Chen Zhao sneered, waving his wide sleeves suddenly, and the wind howled suddenly. The sleeves brought up the sound of hunting wind, and waves of majestic and incomparable true energy roared and raged, like an invisible wall of energy, directly hitting the opponent.
A group of White Lotus Sect members suddenly stood still, and even couldn't help but retreat continuously. As for the hidden weapons whizzing away, they lost their strength and fell halfway.
"Not good, the idea is tricky, everyone be careful!"
The leader reacted in an instant, his face changed drastically, and he yelled a reminder against the gust of wind.
Too bad it's too late...
Chen Zhao stepped forward, every step was like an earthquake on the hard floor, he clenched his fists with both hands and waved them again and again, the fierce and domineering punches, like dense raindrops whizzing down, knocked out a dozen or so powerful Bai Lian in an instant. Christians drowned.
In just a split second, more than a dozen members of the White Lotus Sect flew upside down, screaming and spurting blood from their mouths.
The sound of bang bang bang was endless.
But Chen Zhao stood still, with a calm expression on his face, without any feeling of victory.
Because this group of people were enchanted, even if they were seriously injured, they seemed to be able to walk like the wind, and their true energy showed no sign of exhaustion or weakening.
Interesting, this white lotus magic really makes sense.
This kind of evil magic method is much stronger than the formation of ghosts born in well water in the countryside.
"Ahem, cough, cough, Gouguan's punch is so powerful!"
The Bailian cultist in front of him was actually struggling to get up from the ground, coughing up blood while getting up slowly, looking at Chen Zhao with hatred and cold murderous intent in his eyes.
What surprised Chen Zhao was that the zhenqi martial arts of these Bailian disciples were extremely ordinary, at most a little stronger than Wu Xi, but they were limited, but they could all stand up after receiving so many fierce punches from him!
If the Li Chishui brothers encounter them, even if they attack with flying rocks, they may not be able to defeat them!
This lifeless old mother, Maitreya World Honored One, really has supernatural powers.
As soon as Chen Zhao thought of this, the person on the opposite side suddenly shouted: "Vacuum home, lifeless old mother, please descend to the mortal world and grant us the power of the Great Vajra, disease!"
The leader of the White Lotus cultivator squeezed out a strange formula with both hands, shouted with fanaticism, his body twitched and trembled as if electrified, and the surrounding White Lotus cultivators did the same, as if they had collectively violated the peak of the sheep. chilling.
But what surprised Chen Zhao even more was that just after the group of White Lotus believers completed the ritual of praying to the gods, an extremely pure and terrifying energy suddenly branched out into more than a dozen channels, and was instantly swallowed up by more than a dozen fanatical White Lotus believers. The strange energy fluctuations on the believers suddenly surged.
"The lifeless old mother has boundless magic power, and the divine power of Vajra is invincible!"
All of these White Lotus cultivators suddenly burst into breath, their eyes shone brightly, their muscles swelled, and their entire bodies swelled up in an instant. The muscles all over their bodies were knotted like steel, and they rushed towards Chen Zhao with ferocious faces.
"No birth mother, dare to offend this official!"
Although the strength of these white lotus disciples has greatly increased, they still can't enter his mana. He stands still and swings one hand repeatedly, and suddenly the gangsters line up like shields filled with thousands of catties, and hit the people in front of them again. .
bang bang bang...
A dozen or so people suddenly burst into breath, and their strength suddenly increased by a bit. The white lotus disciples wearing white scarves didn't even have time to snort before being blown away by Chen Zhao's invincible true energy.
But after all, there was sorcery, and these guys suffered such a heavy blow, they just rolled on the ground a few times, then jumped up as if nothing had happened, and rushed up again with hideous faces.
It’s indeed a sorcery, it’s really interesting!
But Chen Zhao didn't care at all.
The White Lotus Sect has been passed down for hundreds of years, with the protection of evil gods, it is normal to know a little evil magic.
Since he broke into the palace to kill the emperor, he naturally used his ability to suppress the bottom of the box!
But no matter how weird and evil their sorcery was, they did not dominate the world.
The world of Jianghu is so vast that it seems to belong to Shaolin Wudang. The famous knights are masters like Ye Gucheng, Dugu Yihe, and Ximen Chuixue. The powerful gangs are the Beggar Gang, Fengwei Gang, and Twelve Links. .
Although the White Lotus Sect is well-known, it is insignificant at all because of its disunity.
Speaking of this, it also shows that there should be great restrictions on the magic of inviting the gods, or there should be great after-effects on the body, otherwise, even if the White Lotus Sect did not unify the world, it would have unified the world long ago.
As long as you think through this section, you will know that even if the group of people in front of you are possessed by supernatural powers, they are not made of iron after all.
So Chen Zhao still only waved his sleeves, counterattacked with mighty zhenqi, and then heard the sound of bang bang again.
A scene that surprised Zhu Qizhen and others who had always been frightened appeared. The dozen or so strongest masters of the White Lotus Sect who were so aggressive before were now like sandbags, being blasted away by Chen Zhao again and again.
Chen Zhao's strength is beyond words.The emperor Zhu Qizhen was terrified, Wei Ziyun and other guards were both envious and awed, and the group of lunatics of the Bailian Cultists were like children in front of Chen Zhao, they were completely powerless to fight back.
Not only were they stunned, but even the Bailian disciples who came before were stunned. Chen Zhao's performance was so tough that these always crazy Bailian believers felt a sense of fear.
Only a few female officials around the emperor looked calm and their eyes were calm.
Obviously, with their strength, they are enough to trick the White Lotus Cultists like this.
So in the eyes of the leading female officer, it seemed that Chen Zhao's martial arts were similar to those of the royal priests.
There seemed to be only one Chen Zhao in the court hall.
However, there were more than a dozen people serving secretly in the palace.
In other words, this Chen Zhao has nothing to worry about and cannot affect the overall situation.
In addition, it seems that he is loyal to His Majesty and does not need to be executed.
……
A strange scene appeared. There were nearly a hundred White Lotus believers who came to assassinate them, but they stopped and were easily stopped by one person. The most powerful ones, a dozen of them, invited gods to take over. They were known as the 'Invincible King Kong Divine Power'. Fanatic believers were blown away again and again like sandbags.
What makes people feel even more frightened is that those dozen fanatic believers are really made of steel and iron.He withstood Chen Zhao's continuous violent Mingjin blows, but he was unscathed except for a bit of embarrassment.
Just for this point alone, the White Lotus Sect's technique of inviting gods is quite terrifying!
However, the appearance of the dozen or so most powerful fanatics has been declining at a speed visible to the naked eye, but after a few rounds, wrinkles have appeared on their faces, and their heads have white hair. They were tough, but the terrifying scene that seemed to have passed decades of time in a short period of time caused everyone in the two directions to feel chills in their hearts.
"Ghost!"
The dozens of Bailian believers were obviously not fanatical enough. Seeing such a horrible scene happening in front of their eyes, they were shocked and stunned. Boom and disperse.
"Bastard bastard, you bastards come back quickly!"
"Run away, Wusheng mother will not let you go!"
"Wait until the dog officer in front of you is dealt with, and then execute you traitors!"
"..."
Without the support of other believers, those people, even if they are possessed by evil gods, are as frustrated as clowns at this moment.
In fact, although the so-called evil method of possession by an inanimate old mother is quite reasonable, it is an evil method after all. Possession by gods consumes one's own blood and vitality.
It can be said that their state of praying to God is supported at the cost of burning their own blood!
The life of God has no limit, but the life of man does.
Human life is limited. No matter how strong he is and how strong his vitality is, his energy, blood and spirit are ultimately limited. Even the most powerful general on the battlefield cannot withstand the continuous consumption of energy and blood for a long time.
Therefore, this kind of evil method is not about inviting gods at all, but using secret methods to temporarily increase your strength by losing longevity, energy, and blood!
Therefore, although the White Lotus Sect has been passed down for hundreds of years, if the unique skill at the bottom of the box is this kind of skill, it also explains why he will never be able to create a greater momentum. It is neither the right way nor the magic method. The invincible state lasts longer.
This method is similar to Gongsun Zan!
Every battle must use the white horse Yi Cong, invincible in the land of Youyan, powerful outside the Great Wall, Yuan Shao was disgraced at the beginning.
But after he exhausted Baima Yicong, he could only sit in a lonely city, waiting to die!
The White Lotus Sect may be invincible against ordinary Jianghu gangs by relying on these secret methods, but when he encounters a gang with deep knowledge and many masters, how many times can he use this secret method?
But now facing Chen Zhao, being hit repeatedly by his incomparable qi, the life force will naturally be consumed faster.
So Chen Zhao didn't like this method.
Besides, he has not used his full strength, but only used some methods of internal energy.Putting it in the rivers and lakes is almost at the level of Chuuxue at the West Gate of Yegu City. The limited attack power has caused the White Lotus Cultists to "resurrection" again and again.
"Don't be complacent, Dog Official. As long as our divine power persists, what can you do to us?"
The dozen or so White Lotus disciples who invited the upper body of the gods obviously didn't notice the amazing changes in themselves, or even if they found out, they didn't care, and sneered with fanaticism on their faces.
"Then continue, let's see how long the blood in your body can last!"
Chen Zhao sneered calmly and continued to wave his sleeves gently, releasing infinite energy. .
Then, the group of White Lotus Cultists were blown to the ground again, but they were unable to get up.
Under the watchful eye of the emperor, guards, female officials, and some officials, eunuchs, maids, and guards who followed, these dozen White Lotus believers looked like 90-[-]-year-old men, with white eyebrows and white hair, faces full of wrinkles, and full strength. Completely exhausted, unable to get up.
"Oh, my hand. Why did my hand become like this?"
"I, I, I, I can't get up!"
"Mother Wusheng, don't abandon us!"
"..."
Suddenly, these dozen White Lotus believers were lying on the ground unable to get up. They also finally discovered something strange about their bodies, and they screamed again and again, their voices old and hoarse, and they were indescribably strange.
"You can't live by doing your own crimes. Even if the old mother of Wusheng really exists, how can you guys just draw the power of God to your body?"
Chen Zhao said these words lightly, with a look of disdain on his face, and returned to the area where Zhu Qizhen was, as if he wasn't the one who showed off his power just now.
For a moment, there were only a dozen or so White Lotus Sect members wailing in the audience.
Zhu Qizhen and other officials all looked horrified and extremely shocked.
Facing Chen Zhao's extremely powerful and domineering strength, everyone was completely shocked and speechless!
They are much clearer than Chen Zhao about how scared the lunatics of the White Lotus Cult are, especially those lunatics of the White Lotus Cult who can invite gods to their bodies. They are even more powerful and invulnerable. Even higher levels won't work.
Even a famous master like Lu Xiaofeng would have no choice but to run away when he meets them!
It is precisely because of this that although the White Lotus Sect has been suppressed by the imperial court and Jianghu, it is still an extremely difficult force to deal with.
But they never expected that the dozen or so White Lotus believers who asked the gods to get on top of them would be treated so badly by Chen Zhao, and now they were directly fucked to the ground and unable to get up.
What made them even more horrified was the astonishing changes that had taken place in the White Lotus believers.
Such a good young and strong man, his body was wrinkled and aging in a short period of time, such a terrifying sight really made them feel scared and unbelievable.
"Your Majesty, let's hurry up and join the Royal Horse Prison and the Royal Guards!"
Chen Zhao came and spoke loudly, his tone was flat, as if no life-and-death struggle had happened at all.
"Okay, okay, hurry up and join the Royal Horse Prison and the Royal Guards!"
With a super master like Chen Zhao by his side, Zhu Qizhen felt at ease for a moment, and instantly regained the demeanor of a generation of emperors. He waved his hand and made a decision directly.
"Your Majesty, what if there are traitors from the White Lotus cult on the other side?"
At this time, Wang An was panicked, and he quickly followed up while reminding in a low voice: "Your Majesty's body of gold can't be in danger!"
"Is there any place in the entire palace that is not dangerous?"
Zhu Qizhen didn't stop, turned his head and glanced at Wang An lightly, and said, "As long as Chen Zhao is here, you and I will be safe, there is no need to be afraid of things!"
Wang An was submissive, but he was very happy in his heart.
Say something in front of the emperor at this time, then when the emperor thinks of this incident in the future, he will definitely remember the people around him. Except for Chen Zhao, Wang An is the only one left.
Because Wang An talked to him!
"Chen Zhao, what happened to those lunatics from the White Lotus Cult just now, why did they suddenly become old?"
After walking for a while, Zhu Qizhen couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked Chen Zhao: "Isn't this incredible?"
"Nothing incredible!"
Chen Zhao smiled softly and replied leisurely: "It's not that fun to pray to the gods. Every time you use your divine power, you need to consume the qi and blood in the body. The more qi and blood are consumed, the life span will be consumed quickly. Later, it will naturally disappear. It’s become like that!”
Zhu Qizhen and a group of people around him couldn't help shivering when they heard the words, but the fear of the Bailian cult in their hearts suddenly decreased a lot.
If you think about it, if there is no sequelae at all in inviting the gods, I am afraid that the White Lotus Cult has already unified the world or the world, how could it be suppressed by the imperial court and the world?
"I see!"
Zhu Qizhen showed relief on his face, and then turned ferocious again, and said in a cold voice: "I didn't expect that the gang of Bailian remnants would have the courage to jump out, this time I will definitely follow the example of Emperor Taizong and completely destroy the White Lotus Sect!! "
After entering the Yumajian camp and the emperor took control of the army, the palace began to return to normal!
There was an army on the move, and there were no fierce assassins who could single-handedly take on an army, so they were naturally killed one by one.
The chaos in the palace barely came to an end until the sky was about to dawn.
The entire palace was in a mess, with fallen corpses and the pungent smell of blood everywhere.Because of the cold weather, these corpses and blood have frozen into ice, which looks even more terrifying and astonishing.
According to rough statistics, there were hundreds of concubines, beauties and court ladies who died in this chaos in the palace. The most heartbreaking thing today is that Xu Wang Zhu Jianchun, who ranked fourth, died in the chaos. Several important officials and dignitaries who participated in the palace banquet also died , can be described as a heavy loss.
Zhu Qizhen was furious and ordered a thorough investigation into the assassins' infiltration into the palace. He believed that soon the palace would be filled with blood and heads again.
As for Chen Zhao, Zhu Qizhen will naturally try to win him over!
On the first day of the Lunar New Year's Day in the fourth year of Mingshun, Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty bestowed on Chen Zhao the title of Loyal and Brave Uncle.
After the decree spread throughout the capital, the civil and military officials of the entire court were shocked, but could only marvel.
Since ancient times, there is no higher merit than rescuing people. Chen Zhao is not only a young Jinshi, but also has the merit of rescuing people. To win a loyal and brave lord, he can be regarded as a reward for his life.So no one questioned it.
Thinking back to the incident of seizing the gate, Sun Tang did nothing and was named Huai Ning Bo because he pretended to be the one to seize the gate. This treatment was much higher than that of Chen Zhao.
In the next two days, Chen Zhao was "busy" as usual, and the law and order in the capital was very good for a while, but of course the people staying at home for the New Year couldn't feel it.
However, the court and the harem began to set off bloody storms. After several days of investigation, Zhu Qizhen finally started to attack some guys in the court and harem who might have an affair with the White Lotus Sect.
For a moment, the court was shaken, and the harem was even more panicked, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn and solemn.
A series of orders to search the houses came out from the palace and were sent directly to the yamen of Wucheng Bingmasi and Shuntian Mansion. Chen Zhao personally led a group of cheerful yamen servants to ransack the homes of several officials.
Needless to mention the chaos, howling and despair during the period, a family of officials who were once high and high suddenly became ruined, and a pampered lady was suddenly held on the street and sold directly. Needless to say how miserable it is.
For a moment, Chen Zhao was on the sidelines, and bought a total of eight official ladies between the ages of eight and fifteen. As for the maids, he also bought a lot of maids at low prices.
certainly.After buying them home, he left them alone and left Xu Ting to take care of them.
Although Xu Ting has little experience in the world, she was able to return in time, which shows that her house fighting skills are still good. After a little observation, Chen Zhao found that she was almost as good as Sister Feng he met in the world of red chambers, so he completely let go.
On the fourth day after the shocking incident at the Danian Palace Banquet, an urgent battle report suddenly came from Henan, and the White Lotus Sect rebelled...
Obviously, facing the sudden rebellion launched by the White Lotus Sect, Zhu Qizhen had already known it well!
So when he suddenly encountered the assassination in the Forbidden Palace, he didn't lose his mind.
Not only Zhu Qizhen knew it well, but all the old foxes in the court knew it well, and they were obviously mentally prepared for the White Lotus Rebellion.
Naturally, Zhu Qizhen couldn't do without a fit of rage, and a group of courtiers had to yell at him, and then the counter-insurgency affairs were arranged in an orderly manner, and even a fool could see the tricks in it.
Some soldiers of the Beijing camp were ordered to prepare for departure immediately, and at the same time the surrounding garrisons will be dispatched for a verdict.
Chen Zhao has no interest in these things, because they have nothing to do with him.
Although Zhu Qizhen knew that he was a super strong general, it was impossible for him to join the army due to various scruples.
What's more, in this era, unless you love military affairs and have been operating as a soldier from the beginning, joining the army as a literati is simply a humiliation to the literati.
However, there are not a few people who want to take the train to counter the rebellion.
The Huai Ning Bo Sun Mandarin, the Huairou Bo Chen Huai, and the Ning Yuan Bo Ren Li all sent their children to fight against the rebels in order to advance.
Of course, when the imperial court's counter-insurgency army was dispatched immediately, relevant officials also began to be appointed.
After all, there was a local rebellion, but there was almost no news from the local officials. A crime of failure to defend the land could not escape.
Therefore, after discussing with everyone in the cabinet, Zhu Qizhen planned to conduct a major official exchange in Henan and Shandong.
This is called grasping with both hands, both hands must be hard!
Among them, Liu Jian, the editor of the Hanlin Academy and a concubine, was appointed as the magistrate of Zhangqiu in Quancheng Prefecture, and his official rank was Congwupin.
After Liu Jian received the appointment, he was surprised at first, and then admired Chen Zhao's foresight.
People can discover big moves from the clues of the court's every move, and they can really be one step ahead in the same year.
In fact, the rebellion in Henan Province has been planned for a long time. Local officials have either been bought by the White Lotus Sect, or have been evaded by local tyrants.
According to the plan of the White Lotus Sect, they launched an attack in the Forbidden Palace. It would be best if they could kill the emperor.
In this way, they have a greater chance of winning when they launch a rebellion in Henan.
It has to be said that the White Lotus Sect in Henan has more stable power, greater ambition, and stronger action capabilities.
I don’t know how high it is compared to a pile of scattered sand in other places.
According to the information reported by Yuan Bin from Jinyiwei Dutang, Zhu Qizhen already knew that although the White Lotus Rebellion had just started, they had already become a phenomenon, and their numbers were inflated like balloons.
Because they not only colluded with the wealthy gentry, but also united with the farmers of Hebei, Shandong and Henan who had gone bankrupt due to Ma Zheng, formed a cavalry army, attacked officers and soldiers in the field everywhere, and achieved many victories.
But Zhu Qizhen saw another hidden worry, that is, there were many martial arts masters among the rebels. They acted as charging arrows for the rebels and killed local officials one after another, so that the rebels, who did not have many weapons at hand, were defeated. The main reason for capturing nearly ten counties in a row.
The masters of martial arts use it to their advantage, and the deterrent effect produced is no worse than that of the army.
After receiving the news, Zhu Qizhen immediately aroused great vigilance. The rebel army was easy to deal with, but it was really difficult to deal with these powerful martial artists.
Especially those guys with high martial arts skills can even ignore the protection of the city wall, which will be a great hidden danger to the city wall defense of prefectures and counties in Henan.
What Zhu Qizhen is most worried about is that the White Lotus Cultists hidden in various places will unite with the rebel army. With the madman-like destructive power of the White Lotus Cultists, after the Henan rebellion is put down, the hinterland of the Central Plains will be ruined. ?
And Henan is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, so it would be really bad if the disorderly army flees, maybe the entire Central Plains land will fall into turmoil, and the foundation of the Ming Dynasty will really be in danger of being shaken.
The Tang Sai'er riot decades ago, although it was extinguished in just over a month, it still caused a strong destructive force, and even Liu Zhong, the deputy commander in chief, was attacked and killed.
Zhu Qizhen is not willing to repeat the same mistakes.
Zhu Qizhen has suffered enough since the change of Tumubao, so at his stage, he attaches great importance to the reputation behind him, and he doesn't want to do some actions that will make people laugh at him.
Therefore, the civil unrest in Henan must be taken down in one fell swoop, and the rebellious army cannot be given a little respite!
Otherwise, when the scope of the civil unrest spreads and the more masters of the rivers and lakes join in, it will be even more difficult to deal with it.
Thinking that the generals who lead the army in countering the rebellion will face the endless stream of assassins from the rivers and lakes, Zhu Qizhen feels dizzy for a while. Once the leading generals are not selected well, it is not to quell the rebellion, but to give experience to the rebellious army .
With so many unfavorable conditions, the generals sent to quell the rebellion not only have strong military command capabilities, but also must pass the test of their own force. There are indeed many generals who have gone to the DPRK and China, but to quell a civil rebellion requires If you hold back your big move, what will people in the world think of him as an emperor?
During the national war, he was extremely reckless, but to quell the civil strife, he sent a pillar general?
Isn't this stupid and embarrassing?
If you think about it this way, it seems that only that guy is suitable.
It's just that he is really too young!
Even if the children of the Duke of England and the Duke of Cheng's family lead the army at such a young age, I'm afraid they won't be able to command the army!
Well, wait, let him, as a loyal and brave prince, hold Shangfang's sword, go out on tour according to the order, and punish the gangsters in the rivers and lakes!
Thinking of this, Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but feel happy.
Time flies and time flies, and four years have passed in a blink of an eye.
Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, who was fatuous and incompetent and twice emperor, died. Prince Zhu Jianshen succeeded to the throne and changed the Yuan Dynasty to Chenghua. Although Zhu Jianshen was young, he was wise and tolerant. In the early years of his reign, he restored the title of emperor Zhu Qiyu and redressed Yu Qian's grievances. Appointing wise ministers such as Shang Lu and others to govern the country can be said to have the demeanor of a king.
As soon as he took office, he paid attention to promoting talents. He summoned Liu Jian, who was the envoy of Nanzhili at that time, and Li Dongyang, who was also a magistrate of Hangzhou, into the capital to serve as the Young Master of Zhan's Mansion. When the prince grew up, he would speak to the East Palace. official.
At the Yangtze River Wharf in Jinling City, Liu Jianzheng, in his 20s, is full of heroism and looks like a gentleman, with a deep sense of elegance all over his body.
At this time, he was standing in the flower hall in the backyard of the Yamen, watching with reluctance the servants at home, loading boxes and boxes of belongings and transporting them away.
"My husband is deeply favored by Long. We are going to work in Beijing this time, but you must be careful, do things wholeheartedly, and don't get caught up in party disputes. Everything is respected for the country. I must be my husband's backing!"
Mrs. Wang looked at Liu Jian with a smile, admiration on her face.
My husband is really a great fortune, he sought to be released when the first emperor was in his old age, and then he could enter the capital when the new emperor ascended the throne, showing his grand plans, it is really great.
"Madam is really my good helper." Liu Jian sighed slightly, and then said proudly: "Although today's son has just ascended the throne, the Mingjun has already shown signs. Just restore the title of Daizong and redress the injustice of Shaobao, and win the hearts of the world. Serving for such a sage king is sure to be rewarding, and our grand plans are unfolding right in front of our eyes."
Having said that, he sighed again: "Speaking of which, Li Dongyang and I are quite proud of each other, but compared with Brother Ziheng, we are still far behind!"
He is now in the capital as the Shao Zhanshi of the Zhanshi Mansion with the official position of Inspector Qianshi of Nanzhili. Like Li Dongyang, he is from the fourth rank.
But his best friend Chen Zhaofeng Ziheng had already returned to the Ministry of Punishment at this time and became the left servant of the Ministry of Punishment.
You know, Chen Zhaoke was only 20 years old, and he was already a high official in the court. He was on the same court as Shangshu in the Ministry of Punishment, and he was like a small mountain.
The reason was that when he inspected Henan, he assisted the army in killing the rebels one by one, which made the army's counterinsurgency extremely smooth.
So at this point, although Chen Zhao is young, he is sure of his work, knows how to advance and retreat, and is generous in his conduct. Regardless of the civil servant system or the military commander system, Chen Zhao has considerable influence. What is even more terrifying is that amazing With martial arts, one person can defeat thousands of troops. Whether it is protecting the sky or calming down the war, he has made great contributions.
Therefore, although he is only 20 years old, his status in the court is not ordinary.
Few people can match the young talents throughout the ages!
While Liu Jian sighed with his wife, he took his wife Wang, his four-year-old eldest son Liu Lai, and his two-year-old second son Liu Dong to the dock in a carriage and boarded the ship back to Beijing.
Since they were sensible, it was the first time for the two children to board such a spacious and beautiful official ship. They couldn't help cheering and running around. marvel.It was only hard work for the maidservant, who chased after the two brothers and couldn't stop yelling, one mouthful and one little ancestor shouting very loudly.
Soon, the two brothers were sweating and very tired. They were immediately sent to the cabin by a group of maids and women to freshen up. After changing into fresh clothes, they came over and gathered next to their parents to listen to their father's talk about the capital. 's story.
Liu Jian looked at the two sons, and said with a smile: "For the father, you are a good friend on the same list. He is a great person. He got married the year before last, and the child is almost two years old. He is about the same age as Dong'er. You will definitely become good friends." of……"
And in a small tavern not far from Jinling Wharf, two handsome young men were having a drink, watching the scene of Liu's family getting on the boat at the wharf, but they smiled in unison.
"Brother Huai'an, that is Liu Jian and Liu Xixian, who are on the same list as my elder brother. He is currently the inspector of Nanzhili. This time, he will be an official of the East Palace in Beijing. It must be of great use!" Young people up to the age of 20, with keen eyesight, heroic vigor, and very flexible eyes, looked at Liu Jian who was like a jade tree facing the wind on the pier and asked.
"Brother Chishui, your eldest brother is Lin Shilang. It is said that he is a close friend with this Liu Qianshi. Don't you know each other?"
The man named Huai'an looked heroic and extraordinary, as if he were a general on the battlefield, but he had the demeanor of a scholar and asked with a smile.
"Brother Huai'an, it's true that Brother Feng and I are sworn brothers, but we met in our early teens. In the past few years, I have been practicing martial arts on Xiandu Mountain and have been exchanging letters. Naturally, I have never met Mr. Liu. Besides, , he is an official and I am a citizen, so I am not qualified to know him!"
Brother Chishui looked helpless.
"Hehe, that's how it is, that's how it is." Brother Huai'an smiled lightly, his eyes moved and he teased: "Speaking of which, Brother Chishui is a native of the capital, and things on the street are clear. With profound skills in your body, you can develop great ambitions!"
"Hey, brother Huai'an was joking, joking!"
Brother Chishui had a humble mouth and a very indifferent expression on his face. He shook his head and said with a smile: "When I was in the capital, I was just a little beggar who was bullied by a few beggars. I'm nothing more than a bone in the wilderness now."
Brother Chishui is Chen Zhao's sworn brother, Li Chishui, a rookie from Xiandu School.
After he met Chen Zhao and Xu Ting, he joined the Xiandu School by chance to learn art by chance, and by chance, he assisted Qiu Moyan with Xu Ting, helped Zhou Huaian kill Cao Shaoqin and Dongchang masters, and saved Yang Yuxuan's descendants, so he and Zhou in front of him Huai'an, it's a fateful friendship.
After that incident, he returned to Xiandu Mountain to continue his studies, and now four years have passed, and he has long since lost his old beggar spirit, and has become a heroic young hero, who is quite famous in Jiangnan martial arts .
This time I received a letter from my elder brother Chen Zhao, saying that since he has completed martial arts, he will return to Beijing to help him with things and create a new situation together.
So all the way to the north in fresh clothes and angry horses, passing by Jinling this day, happened to meet Zhou Huai'an, his former lifelong friend, so they sat down and had a drink together in this small tavern.
After the two chatted, Li Chishui couldn't help being both surprised and delighted: "It turns out that Brother Huai'an is going to Beijing too!"
"Yes, the first emperor passed away, and now he ascends the throne. As soon as he takes the throne, he will show the image of a Mingjun, restore the honor of Emperor Jingtai, and redress the grievances of Shaobao. The bones of Yang Yuxuan and Master Yang also need to be buried again. Now, Zhou will have to go to the capital to do some work, both public and private."
Zhou Huaian smiled lightly and said lightly.
It turns out that five years ago, Zhou Huaian contacted the righteous men in the Jianghu, rescued Yang Yuxuan's flesh and blood, beheaded Cao Shaoqin and his party at the Longmen Inn, and took Yang Yuxuan's flesh and blood to the outside of the Great Wall.
Although he was a righteous man in the world, and many bigwigs in the court secretly wrote letters of appreciation to him, but after all, he killed the emperor's servant, and if the emperor didn't nod, he was a criminal.
Now that the Yingzong has passed away and the new emperor has come to power, he has granted a general amnesty to the whole world. Naturally, his heroic deeds were praised by the court.
On the one hand, he came to Beijing to rebury the master Yang Yuxuan, and on the other hand, he sought to revive and give Qiu Moyan a royal decree.
