Chapter 372: The frightened bald thief(1/2)
"Abbott, take a look, this devil Wang Xuan is so crazy that he can do such a thing." A monk handed over a message, and the fat monk took it with a calm expression and slowly turned over it.
It seems.
"boom!"
After reading the above content, the fat monk could no longer maintain his usual demeanor. He smashed the text to pieces with a sudden palm, and stood up with a ferocious face, "How dare he, how dare he!"
"This devil will definitely go to the eighteenth level of hell and suffer endless punishment!"
The monk in front of him was shocked. In the past ten years, he had never seen the abbot lose his temper like this. He took two steps back and did not dare to come forward to persuade him.
"Immediately send a message of mercy and send Kong Minbo's family to the West to meet the Buddha. It is extremely clean!"
"Ah!?" The monk was stunned and looked at the abbot in disbelief. He thought he heard wrongly. He also knew that Kong Minbo was one of the 'believers' who had finally developed in Quanzhou and had done a lot of harm.
Why did you suddenly change your strength and want to send them to the West?
"What are you doing standing still? Go quickly!" the abbot shouted, waking up the monk opposite.
"Ah, oh, okay, I'll go right away!"
The abbot breathed a sigh of relief when he saw people leaving. He was really scared to the point of peeing just now.
…
Under Wang Xuan's deliberate control, it was only on the third day that Fuzhou Prefecture began to spread this appeal. Qi Hongliang looked at the appeal and curled his lips. This kind of thing had nothing to do with him, but Governor Li Shantang could not sit still.
.
Under his rule, some members of the royal family rebelled. This was just an eyesore for him. Besides, how could the King of Tang have such strength?
Just as he was getting angry, he heard someone outside the door reporting that Wang Xuan was here.
Don't worry about the message in his hand, his intuition told him that Wang Xuan's coming here must be related to this matter, "Please come in, um, come directly to the study!"
This was not Wang Xuan's first visit to this study, so he didn't notice him. After the two exchanged greetings, Li Shantang asked straight to the point: "Why did Zai Zhi come to my place free? Have you read this letter?"
"The students are here just for this essay." Wang Xuan looked at Li Shantang with a smile, looking mysterious and unpredictable.
Governor Li squinted his eyes and looked Wang Xuan up and down, cursing trouble in his mind. What local officials hate most is trouble that is out of their control. He could tell without asking that Wang Xuan must have done this. Last time
He labeled Wuhumen as a rebel, but he never expected that Wang Xuan would be so courageous and dared to label the majestic prince. This was going to turn the world upside down!
But he knew in his heart that people like Wang Xuan would not do things without aim, and if they were not certain, they would not do such a big thing.
After picking up the tea bowl and taking a sip, Governor Li suppressed his dissatisfaction and looked at Wang Xuan with a calm expression: "Oh, I wonder if Zai Zhi has anything to teach me!"
It was obvious that Li Shantang was really angry. Wang Xuan laughed and cupped his hands, "Master Li, this is really embarrassing for me. I really want to congratulate you on your promotion this time!"
Um?
Who doesn’t want to be promoted, but what does this have to do with it?
Li Shantang took a deep breath and said, "Don't joke about this. The King of Tang rebelled. As a local governor, it's fine if you don't get reprimanded by the imperial court. How is it possible to get promoted?"
"How is it impossible!" Wang Xuan stood up and said solemnly: "Three years ago, a cult monk said that he discovered that the aura of the emperor appeared in the southeast. He pursued it all the way to Quanzhou, Fujian, and found the glow on the palace of the Tang Dynasty prince.
Wan Zhang then went to see the King of Tang, who was bewitched by him and began to arrange things secretly."
"First, I secretly arranged a force like Wuhumen with the intention of slowly developing the power. I didn't want to let it out last year and be found out by the governor, so I could wipe out Wuhumen in one fell swoop. After that, I have been secretly pursuing clues. After all, there are more than 500 people there.
The weapons are beyond what ordinary people can supply, and finally last month the clues were traced to the Tang Palace."
"After receiving the news, the King of Tang immediately decided to launch an army to rebel. He sent a message to all parts of Fujian, bribed the commander of the Quanzhou Prefectural Guard Station, and resold ordnance. The evidence was also found by the Lord. He resold 1,000 strong crossbows alone!
"
"After your Excellency found out everything, he personally led the Fuzhou capital and commanded the soldiers and horses in a great battle in Quanzhou Prefecture. Thousands of people were killed and two hundred heads were killed. He also led a large army to surround the palace of the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty king was afraid of the crime and burned the entire palace.
, no one survived!”
"Later, your Excellency searched for evidence of his correspondence with the rebel Wuhumen, including the yellow robe and jade seal, etc."
With every word of Wang Xuan, Li Shantang's expression kept changing. Until Wang Xuan finished speaking, Li Shantang's eyes gleamed, he grabbed the armrest of the chair, stared at Wang Xuan and asked: "Are you sure?"
"Nothing goes wrong. I have completely cut off all contact between the Tang Palace and the outside world. No one is allowed in or out. As soon as the governor arrives, a fire will break out in the Tang Palace!"
"More importantly, many ministers from the DPRK and China have written to His Majesty before, saying that the royal family occupies more and more land, and the burden on the court is getting bigger and bigger. Half of the annual income is used to support the princes in various places, and the court is already overwhelmed.
, this time the whole family of the Tang Dynasty king died completely, and the land and hidden fields recovered by then alone would be tens of thousands of acres. This does not include the sacrifices saved. At least the ministers in the court wanted to see it.
of."
There was a hint of sarcasm on Wang Xuan's lips, and he continued: "Even any of our emperors will not feel sorry for the Tang family. After all, the fifth server has been released!"
"With such a huge amount of income coming from inside and outside, who cares about the life and death of the King of Tang!"
"With such great achievements, I believe it will be just around the corner for Mr. Li to return to the court!"
Li Shantang took a deep breath. The benefits were indeed great, too great for him to ignore. The most important thing was that the mountains were high and the emperor was far away. There was no time to ask the court for instructions on such matters. Otherwise, if he waited for the court's reaction before sending troops, the whole province would be destroyed.
It's going to rot.
Therefore, they, the real frontier officials, have the right to mobilize the army to quell the rebellion. This is not ultra vires. As long as Wang Xuan does it cleanly and efficiently, then it will be a solid case and no one will do it.
Explore the doorway inside.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After all, Wang Xuan has found the reason, Xie teaches the demon monk to bewitch him, it is no wonder that the Tang Dynasty king is tempted!
It's just that he is a bit old after all and is unwilling to take risks. Besides, he also knows in his heart that he is just an excuse to speak out, but in fact he has no way to intervene at all.
After thinking carefully, Li Shantang picked up the tea bowl and gestured towards Wang Xuan, then lowered his head and said nothing!
Wang Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Thank you, Mr. Li. I wish you success, and the student will resign now!"
Wang Xuan understood what Li Shantang meant. This was all for him to do as he pleased, as if he had never been here today. As long as the matter was settled, all the procedures could be made up later. This was not a problem at all. If it was not settled or something went wrong,
, then it has nothing to do with him, Li Shantang.
In Wang Xuan's mind, although Li Shantang's approach was considered mature, it was too conservative. Although it had no impact, at least Wang Xuan felt that the old man was not worried about it. It could be used but not of great use.
Li Shantang didn't say anything, and just watched Wang Xuan walk out of the study. After coming here for a long time, the master came back and reported that Wang Xuan had left the house. Li Shantang then asked: "Go and check carefully, why did Wang Xuan conflict with the King of Tang?"
On!"
He didn't believe that Wang Xuan wanted to kill Tang Wang's family for no reason. After all, he didn't believe that Wang Xuan was interested in Tang Wang's family property. Wang Xuan was right under his nose, and he knew how rich he was.
Yes, King Tang was just a drop in the bucket compared to him, and he would not take him seriously at all.
Not to mention anything else, he knew how much money it would cost just to feed the 5,600 troops of the Fuzhou Guards Station!
He calculated an account for Wang Xuan and found out that it would cost 30 taels of silver to fully equip a soldier alone. In other words, the cost of guarding the army alone would cost 180,000 taels of silver.
Of course, basically all weapons and armor are produced by Wang Xuan himself, so the consumption is definitely not that high.
Besides, these are all one-time consumption, and the real bulk is the food supply and Xiangyin!
This statement has caused quite a stir in various places. For a time, true and false news of the matter were flying all over the sky. Many families began to send troops to Quanzhou Prefecture. This matter must be clearly understood. At the same time, in front of the gate of Tingzhou Prefecture
News of the great war also began to slowly spread among the top brass.
However, the first people from nearby areas to arrive at Quanzhou Mansion suddenly discovered that the area around Prince Tang's Mansion had been secretly circled. People could enter without any problem, but everyone who came out was secretly taken away!
At the same time, the chief officials in the palace and other important officials have disappeared. They are neither alive nor dead. It is obvious that they were all captured by the people surrounding the Tang Palace!
In fact, this was an injustice to Wang Xuan. At least the death of Zuo Changshi Kong Minbo's family had nothing to do with Wang Xuan.
But when Tian Boguang received the news and came to Kong Minbo's family, his family was all killed. They were all killed with one knife. There was no chance to resist, and not even a dog was spared.
Faced with this situation, besides sending a message to Wang Xuan and Feige, Tian Boguang could only arrange for someone to collect the bodies for them. After all, it was better not to cause trouble before the king of Tang solved the problem.
The people who did it were undoubtedly those bald thieves, but now Tian Boguang had nothing to do.
…
Putian Shaomu Temple, in the Zen room in the backyard, the fat monk looked at Ci Hui who walked in and asked in a deep voice: "Is the matter done?"
"Don't worry, Abbot. It's done. I'll take it upon myself to send Kong Minbo and his family to the Western Paradise. I didn't even spare a dog."
"Huh!" He breathed out softly, and the fat monk relaxed, "Kong Minbo has become so good, and he can be considered a good person. It is their honor that his family can enter the Western Paradise. I am merciful, and they must be
The whole family is also happy.”
"Amitabha, you are so good!" Ci Hui recited the Buddha's name, and then asked in a low voice: "But, why don't you protect this person quietly? After all, he is also a talent?"
"You can't keep it!" The fat abbot shook his head, "The devil Wang Xuan is so vicious and cunning that he suddenly issued a message calling for the rebellion of the Tang Dynasty throughout Fujian. This matter must not have any connection with our Shaomusi Temple!"
"Why is this?" Ci Hui asked with a frown.
"Do you know Master Daoyan?"
"Disciple knows that this is a distinguished monk from my Buddhist sect!" Cihui said with admiration when mentioning Monk Daoyan.
"Success is due to Daoyan, and failure is due to Daoyan!" The abbot sighed, "It is precisely because Master Daoyan mainly planned the Battle of Jingnan!"
This monk Daoyan is the famous black minister Yao Guangxiao in history. He was the main planner of Zhu Di's battle. It can be said that without Yao Guangxiao, there would be no Ming Dynasty emperor!
Yao Guangxiao (1335-1418), whose childhood name was Tianxi, whose legal name was Daoyan, whose courtesy name was Sidao, and also whose courtesy name was Duan, whose nickname was Du'an old man, and who escaped from Xuzi. He was a native of Changzhou (now Suzhou, Jiangsu). A statesman and Buddhist scholar of the Ming Dynasty.
, writer, main planner of the Jingnan Campaign, and the most famous prime minister in black in Chinese history.
In the third year after Zhu Di's death, Yao Guangxiao stayed in Peiping and suggested that Zhu Di advance with light cavalry and take Nanjing, allowing Zhu Di to successfully seize Nanjing and ascend the throne as emperor. It was unique in history that he could use only one piece of Yan land to fight against the entire army of the country and win in the end.
After Chengzu succeeded to the throne, Yao Guangxiao served as Zuo Shanshi, the Secretary of Senglu, and added the prince's young master, known as the "prime minister in black". He was responsible for the relocation of the capital and planned the layout of today's Beijing city. Later, after Jie Jin failed to compile the book, he served as
