Chapter 34: Junfa

Qi Xuansu and Qin Lingge sat high above the nine heavens, looking at the emperor's aura, the conclusion they came to was naturally very accurate.

As expected, three months later, Emperor Yongli passed away, the crown prince succeeded to the throne, and changed the reign of Longwu, which people call him Emperor Longwu.

Just shortly after Emperor Longwu ascended the throne, the White Lotus Sect in Jiangnan rebelled.

In just three months, it swept across Jiangnan. Except for Jinling Prefecture, all Jiangzhou was lost; except for Jiangling Prefecture, all Huzhou was lost; except for Shangqing Prefecture, all Wuzhou was lost.

The world has been suffering for a long time. Not only is Qi Xuansu and Qin Lingge waiting for the old emperor to die, but the others are also attracted by the opportunity when the new king ascended the throne and the court is unstable.

I won’t talk about the ability of the young emperor for now. In the end, he was young and energetic. Not only was he not afraid, he wanted to command the commander to quell the White Lotus Rebellion. The court officials naturally could not agree, but Emperor Longwu had already decided, and in the end the empress dowager persuaded the young emperor back.

Qi Xuansu was very accurate, and the young emperor was still a little thoughtful. He also knew that the situation in the court was unstable. If the emperor personally led the army and won a great victory, it would be a way to break the situation. It would not only establish his authority, but also discover a group of loyal teams in the process.

Of course, if you lose, you will naturally not be able to do anything.

At this moment, the party dispute between Yin Zhengxin and Li Zhixing broke out again.

When the old emperor was alive, he favored Yin Zhengxin, and Li Zhixing had no choice. Now that the new king ascended the throne, he might not necessarily continue the old emperor's policies. This is reasonable. The father and son belong to the father and son, and the son look down on his father, is very common among emperors of all ages, otherwise it would be said that the emperor will be the emperor and the ministers will be the same.

Li Zhixing informed Yin Zhengxin that he had planned ill-behavior and was secretly raising 3,000 dead soldiers. Yin Zhengxin reported that Li Zhixing colluded with the Qin family in Liaodong, secretly hoarded food, grass, and armor, bribed officials, and intended to rebel.

Li Zhixing also instructed people to report Yin Zhengxin and the White Lotus Sect, and even found out the old stories of the eight major sects back then.

This caused Emperor Longwu's rebellious scale. The court was having a headache about the White Lotus Sect. Some officials of the court colluded with the White Lotus Sect? It was better to believe that it was not trusted that it was not, Emperor Longwu immediately sent Qingluanwei to capture Yin Zhengxin.

Li Zhixing obviously won this court struggle.

If it was another minister, he would have to surrender. But Yin Zhengxin was not an ordinary minister. He was a minister who had worked hard in Yanzhou for 20 years. He was a minister who was a great wise teacher of the Taiping Cult.

The Qingluan Guards came to the Governor's Office and issued an imperial edict, asking Yin Zhengxin to kneel down to accept it.

Qingluanwei originally thought that this time was no different from the past. Once these majestic high-ranking generals were deprived of their skin, they would lose all their energy and even look ugly, as if they were stupid, some were incontinent, some were incontinent, and some were quarrels.

But they found that Yin Zhengxin was different. Not to mention kneeling down to receive the imperial edict, they didn't get up at all. They were still sitting in the court, just casually asking the followers beside them to bring the imperial edict over.

Before Qingluan Guard could react, the entourage had already snatched the imperial edict and sent it to Yin Zhengxin.

Yin Zhengxin didn't even look at it, but just tear the imperial edict in half lightly.

The Qingluan Guards were stunned and had never seen such a brave person.

The leader was already a little panicked, but he still asked Yin Zhengxin loudly whether he wanted to rebel.

Yin Zhengxin smiled and said: When others say that you intend to rebel, you'd better have the ability to rebel.

After the words came, the ghost coaches of the Taiping Sect rushed out and took down all the Qingluan Guards who had just become extremely majestic.

Over the years, the officialdom in Yanzhou has been permeated with holes, and many people have long converted to Taiping Cult.

As for those who refused to surrender, they were naturally taken down.

This year is another year of Jiazi.

Yin Zhengxin took off his official robe, put on the clothes of a great wise man, wrapped himself in yellow turbans, held a "nine-section scepter" in his hand, and laughed to the sky and went out.

It was already late at this time, and there were already people standing outside, all holding torches, illuminating the entire governor's office.

Everyone looked at the great wise and good teachers.

Yin Zhengxin raised the "Nine-section Staff" and whispered: "The sky is dead."

"The sky is dead!" Everyone responded in unison.

"Huang Tian should stand."

"Huang Tian should stand!"

"The year is in Jiazi."

"The year is in Jiazi!"

"The world is very good."

"The world is very good!"

Taiping Cult is backward.

In just three days, Qizhou, Yanzhou, Jinzhou, Qinzhou, Zhongzhou, and Luzhou responded one after another.

Killing officials, occupying cities, crossing states and counties, within ten days, the world responded and the capital was shaken.

For a time, the White Lotus Sect was in the south and the Taiping Sect was in the north. The two families echoed each other, and it turned out to be a turmoil in the world.

Yin Zhengxin was not afraid of implicating his father-in-law, because the White Lotus Sect had already conquered Wuzhou, and only the Shangqing Mansion was left to rely on Yunjinshan to support him. It was half of his own territory. Even if the court wanted to kill the nine clans, he did not have the ability.

The young Emperor Longwu never expected that his imperial edict would have caused a huge mistake. Even if the Taiping Cult wants to suppress it, he has to wait until the situation in Jiangnan has stabilized. Now it has suddenly become a chaos between the north and the south, and even there are believers of the Taiping Cult in the capital, which is the way to die.

Yin Zhengxin also hated Li Zhixing very much. At the first time, he naturally expanded his army. He expanded his army with 8000 ghost commanders as the foundation, and then expanded his army into 80,000. At the second time, he attacked Qizhou.

So Qizhou fell and Li Zhixing fled to Liaodong by boat.

Faced with such a situation, the court had to invite Liaodong to enter the pass to quell the rebellion.

However, Liaodong still held its troops, as if it were an oriole behind.

There was no choice but to offer a larger price: asking the King of Liao to come to Beijing as prime minister and preside over the government. Not only allowed the founding of the government to govern the affairs, but also allowed the King of Liao to carry a guard of more than a thousand people. This is almost the same as the swords and shoes that were used to go to the hall.

After careful consideration, the King of Liao decided to go to the capital and brought a full 3,000 guards, two thousand people stationed outside the city, and the remaining thousand people followed him into the capital.

In fact, it is easy to kill a Liao king. The key is what to do after killing it. There are so many Liaodong cavalry, can they be killed? Who will pacify the Taiping Sect and the White Lotus Sect?

Although the prince is already a superb, the emperor still granted the title of King Liao as Taibao, Shangzhu Kingdom, and was specially promoted to the Guanglu Dafu.

Li Zhixing stayed outside the Liaodong Pass. Wu Niang asked Li Zhixing how to use the Qin family to conquer the world, and now he can see a little bit of his flaws.

At this moment, someone came to watch the battle, and his status was very high, even the chief sect and the emperor also showed it.

The visitors were the Dao Sect’s true priest Cheng Taiyuan, the Confucian scholar.

However, the two did not go to the Grand Master and the Emperor, but watched the chess from afar.

Seeing that Yin Zhengxin had captured Qizhou, Cheng Taiyuan couldn't help but say, "It's amazing, where did this young master learn these Taiping sect's methods?"

Qingwei Zhenren said with some advice: "It was probably taught by Master."

"Great Master?" Cheng Taiyuan was skeptical.

Zhenren Qingwei said: "Of course it is not the great master, but the former master."

Cheng Taiyuan did not ask in depth, but instead said: "From our Confucian school's perspective, it is contrary to the way of loyalty and filial piety."

Zhenren Qingwei said: "Our Taoist school does not talk about loyalty and filial piety."

Cheng Taiyuan raised his eyebrows: "Unfaithful and unfilial?"

Zhenren Qingwei said: "Loyalty is loyalty, filial piety is filial piety. There is loyalty, filial piety, but no loyalty and filial piety."

"In the past, loyalty was to perform their duties, and the loyalty of the ministers to the king was actually two-way. The king regarded the ministers as brothers and feet, and the ministers regarded the king as loyal; the king regarded the ministers as grass, and the ministers regarded the king as enemies. No one owe anyone."

"But since the unification of the world, the meaning of 'loyalty' has changed. From the two-way responsibility between the monarch and the minister to the single obligation of the minister to the monarch, it has become the monarch that the minister must die. In fact, if you think about it carefully, this principle will not stand. No one should ask, why? If you let me die, I will die. Would you rather have a sect?"

"So Confucianism invented the theory of unity between the country and the country. At home, he is a filial son, and outside, he is a loyal minister, and he is a loyal minister, and outside, he is a Confucian scholar, and outside, he is a law in the internal world. Therefore, the saying "loyalty and filial piety" was created."

"In the past, loyalty was loyalty, filial piety. Gradually, loyalty was filial piety, filial piety was loyalty. The king was no longer the king, but the king's father, the minister was no longer the minister, but the minister. The king and his subject became father and son, and the king became the father of everyone. Loyalty to the king was filial to his father, and changed his concepts. The king and father came from this. Therefore, the holy dynasty and filial piety ruled the world, which essentially advocated absolute loyalty to the king, but the king did not have to bear any responsibility."

"My father gave birth to me, it is appropriate to be filial to my father. The king did not give birth to the world but let the world offer it to the world. How could such a father be? Why? Don't you say that the king will bring peace to the world? If there is no support from the world, will the king alone be able to bring peace?"

"The Taoist opposes this irresponsible monarchy, so it does not advocate 'loyalty and filial piety'. Loyalty means loyalty, filial piety is filial piety, and there is nothing 'loyalty is filial piety'."

"To this day, there are still many legacies of this kind of thoughts inside the Taoist sect. They regard the great master as their father, and regard the Jinque as their mother, and call it "Golden Mother" privately. They try their best to add another parent to their heads. To put it bluntly, it is the cause of the thoughts of the king and the father, which violates equality. This is something that must be vigilant."

After Qingwei Zhenren finished speaking, Cheng Taiyuan's face was no longer very good-looking, and he said, "It's no wonder that everyone says that Qingwei Zhenren is a rebellion of the Li family and is sincere and does not deceive me."

The emperor also glanced at Qingwei Zhenren with a expressionless face.

At this moment, Wu Niang whispered a few words to Xiao Yin, and Xiao Yin shouted: "The Great Master's words are wrong."

Cheng Taiyuan looked at Xiao Yin.

Xiao Yin was not afraid at all, and even made a face.

The chief sect said, "Xiao Yin, what's wrong with the Great Priest's words?"

Xiao Yin shouted: "Xuan Sheng was once called the rebellion of the Li family. Has Xuan Sheng also distorted the saint's righteousness?"

This made the chat to death, and even the emperor dared not openly deny Xuan Sheng.

The chief smirked: "Xiao Yin, what you said makes sense. Then, how should you evaluate the words of Qingwei Zhenren?"

Xiao Yin's eyes rolled and said, "There is the legacy of Xuansheng."
