The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

Chapter 337

Muzhou, Qingxi County.

Fang La, the leader of Mingjiao, did three things after winter.

These three things all arose because of his history reading.

If he wants to do something earth-shattering, he must plan carefully. Although the Mingjiao can be used as the foundation for his rebellion, he also knows that not everyone in the world will believe in the Mingjiao.

An emperor in Zhao Song Dynasty said it well, there is a golden house in the book, and there are thousands of millet in the book, so he wanted to find some ways to be popular in the history books.

When he read about King Chen's rebellion in the Qin Dynasty, he first got the handwriting from the heavenly script in the belly of a fish, saying that he deserved to be king, and everyone around him believed it. , rose up, and the number of people who responded to him was more than tens of thousands.

It is also read that Zhang Jiao, the celestial master of the later Han Dynasty, set up an army and took the title of the heavenly book as a speech. The three brothers claimed the positions of Tiangong, Digong, and Rengong, and almost won the world of the Han Dynasty.

Based on this, Fang La thought hard and came up with a few clever ideas.

One morning just after winter, Fang La took a group of Ming Cultists to Qingshiping in front of Bangyuan Cave to practice soldiers. Passing by a valley, he suddenly raised his head and shouted, "Isn't this the fairy cave?"

Everyone looked up in the direction of his finger, and saw that the mouth of the valley was surrounded by auspicious clouds, and the inside of the valley was full of purple fog. Falling in the clouds and mists, the fog is dyed into a cloud of purple mist and red clouds, which is full of rays of light and thousands of auspicious colors, which is very spectacular.

All the believers clapped their hands and praised, and said in unison: "It's beautiful, I have never seen auspicious clouds here before, and the scenery is so beautiful!"

The Crane King Fang Nineteen saw this and said: "I remembered, there is a cave on the wall of the valley mouth. I heard from the old man in the village that the immortal Lu Dongbin once practiced here. Could it be that a treasure was born in it recently, so you released auspicious clouds and purple caves?" fog?"

Fang La thought to herself, "Why don't I go up and have a look, and have a good time."

After all, he led the way at the front, and followed the crowd behind, climbing vines and vines, finally climbed to the mouth of the valley, and got into the purple auspicious clouds.

Where is the auspicious cloud above, it is like a heavy fog, and it seems to be raining, soaking the clothes wet, and an ancient cave appears on the stone wall under the ancient pine.

Fang La waved a pair of big purple sleeves, knocking off branches and shattering thornbushes. He got in first, and only walked about ten steps away. There was a stone bed in front of him. box.

He immediately said pleasantly: "It must have been given by the immortals. I don't want to open it for now. I will open it in public at the Confucianism Conference tonight. It will be a blessing or a disaster. Let all the brothers know at the same time. It will also show that we are teaching selflessness." .”

At the Jingyi meeting that night, envoys from various villages and villages arrived to teach the capital. Fang La ordered people to take out a yellow silk box and put it in front of the statue of Mingzun. On this day, Zheng Biao, the black-haired tiger king, one of the five great dharma kings, was on duty. After that, I opened the box with my hands clean.

He opened the treasure box and saw that there was nothing else in the box, but a piece of writing written on yellow paper. Its characters were tadpole small seal script, which was extremely difficult to identify. Zheng Biao looked at it for a long time, surprised and delighted, and shouted in a rough voice: "There is a sentence in the heavenly writing, let me read it for you to listen to. It says that Fang La, the one who got the heavenly book, is the descendant of the heavenly king and prince..."

All the leaders and disciples cheered for a while, and since then Fang La's prestige has become higher and everyone respects him.

The second thing is that one morning, Fang Fei took someone to accompany Fang La to Qiyuan. When they were passing Tongxi, Fang Fei suddenly exclaimed: "Look, Holy Father, I saw your figure in the stream wearing a dragon robe." , wearing a crown, ah... the Holy Duke turned out to be the emperor!"

Fang La leaned over to take a look, only to see a square face in the clear stream, a tall figure, dressed as usual, no different from usual.

At this time, Fang Nineteen rushed to the side and said, "Sure enough, Shenggong is already wearing a royal robe and a crown!"

Fang La smiled, stopped talking, and looked left and right at the stream, and straightened the old clothes, as if she was really wearing a dragon robe.

Fang Nineteen shouted as he ran, "The Sheng Gong is the emperor now, the Sheng Gong is the emperor now!"

In a few days, everyone in Qingxi knew about it, and later it was called "Linxi Guying, seeing that his crown and clothes are like a king".

The third thing is that before a lecture on scriptures, Old Buddha Wang, who has retired as the left envoy of Guangming, suddenly came, stroked his long silver beard and said to the believers: "At midnight yesterday, I watched the sky at night and saw a star in the sky. It falls on the Wannian Building in Zitongyuan. Zitongyuan is the holy place where the emperor and the emperor are born. The Wannian Building has a royal lineage. I think there must be a reason for this. You might as well go to the Wannian Building to find out what happened .”

There is actually a saying in this Wannian Building. During the Yonghui period of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, a strange woman named Chen Shuozhen came out of Muzhou. ", led the people to rebel with the Liujia 48 Party in Fuchuanshan, Qingxi County, Muzhou.

Later, although Chen Shuozhen failed, the matter had a great impact, especially in the Muzhou area. From then on, it was spread that Tianziji, the nine locks of the Shimen, the emperor came and went, Wannian Tower, Xumi Mountain, Capped Boat Mountain, and the main peak resting on the tip of the boat. legend.

Wannian Building is located in Zitongyuan, Chen Shuozhen's hometown. It has been in disrepair for a long time and has become a wild stage.

All the people present were surprised by what Wang Laofo said, so they took a break from the scriptures and went to Zitongyuan Wannian Tower to see. After they got to the Wannian Tower, they held their breath and looked around. Pointing to the beam, he said: "There seems to be a scorched mark of lightning on the beam, who can go up and have a look?"

Everyone looked up and saw that the beam was more than three or four feet away from the ground, about three feet thick, it was hard for a grown man to hug it, and it was carved with the pattern of a dragon soaring over a sea of ​​clouds, and there was a scorched mark on it, as if struck by lightning.

Chen Fan said from the sidelines: "Wait for me to go up and have a look!" Before he could finish his sentence, he climbed up to the girder of Dragon Soaring Clouds like an ape, after a while of groping, thick dust fell down, and suddenly shouted: "Sure enough, there are objects! "

Everyone was waiting with their necks up, and said in unison: "Take it down and have a look!"

Chen Fan hung upside down like an ape, and handed down the dusty yellow satin-wrapped rectangular object in his hand.

Fang Nineteen held it firmly with both hands, opened the package and looked, it turned out to be an old "Ming Zun's Vow Sutra", and saw a picture of a talisman on the title page of the yellow watch: a single tree with a roof like an umbrella, A raging fire was burning, and tens of thousands of people gathered, only one tall and outstanding, holding a torch.

On the second page, there are four neatly written poems:
The treasure cover and the wood are rotten, and the grass and trees burn away in autumn.

All the gods come out of Shenggong during the La Festival, and all the people come out first!
After Fang Nineteen recited it, he handed it to Wang Gong and Laofo respectfully.

Old Buddha Wang took a look, overjoyed, and said loudly: "This is a talisman! Fang Dangdai Song Dynasty, Shenggong is really the son of heaven!"

At this time, some of the teaching leaders present were puzzled, so Fang Fei explained the meaning of the poem, which foreshadowed that the single tree of the Song Dynasty was rotten and would be burned. This talisman picture and the poem just match. "

Old Buddha Wang said solemnly: "Since the leader has obtained the talisman, we should support the leader as the king. From now on, all my Mingjiao believers will respect Shenggong as the emperor. What do you think?"

Fang La was about to resign with a humble face at the moment, but everyone bowed down and saluted together, shouting in unison: "I have seen the Emperor Shenggong!"

Fang La had no choice but to let out a long sigh, raised his hands up and put them down again: "Since God's will is so, I have no choice but to accept it, and I will live up to your high expectations. I swear to live and die with you in the same wealth and honor!"

Wannian upstairs cheered and thundered for a while.

The news that Sheng Gong Fang La got the talisman in the Wannian Building of Zitongyuan was spread to ten, ten to hundreds, hundreds to thousands, and thousands to thousands. The fire started a prairie fire, and it burned more and more!
In the second year of Xuanhe in the Great Song Dynasty, in mid-November, the main altar of Mingjiao in Bangyuandong held a grand enthronement ceremony for the head leader Fang La.

At this moment, the religious capitals that have established branch altars from various prefectures are coming. Among them, Liangjian Road and Jiangnan Dongxi Road are the most numerous.

All leaders wear white robes with flames embroidered on their chests. White symbolizes purity of heart, flames symbolize light, and advocating light is the teaching of Mingjiao.

The enthronement ceremony is held in the temple in the cave. On the white marble platform in the west of the temple stands a pure gold statue of Ming Zun. On the right side of the statue is the head teacher Fang La, and next to the godmother Shao Yuxian.

There are twelve rows of guards on the left and right in front of the hall, ten people in each row, all holding red net shield knives, black halberds, and five-color banners, each with a name, and everything is in accordance with the emperor's ritual guards.

The crowd surrounded Fang La and ascended the throne, and became the emperor of the Holy Duke. At this moment, Fang La was wearing a flat sky crown, a crimson yarn python robe, embroidered oolong claws on the python robe, and worry-free shoes. There are four pairs of Tuanlong fans standing behind their backs, and the crowd is divided into civil and military divisions.

There is a jade seal on the dragon case, which is called the jade seal. In fact, it is neither gold nor jade, but is carved from red sandalwood. Everything is crude and crude.

Fang La established the Shaw family as the empress of the main palace, the eldest son Fang Shu as the crown prince, the second son Fang Hao as the king of Wu, Wang Gong and old Buddha as the commander-in-chief of the national defense army to lead the military and internal and external affairs, Chen Kuutong as the grand master, and Fang Fei as the prime minister. Fang Liu and Bao Daoyi are ministers, Fang Qifo is the marshal of soldiers and horses, Fang Baihua is the leader of the female army, and the rest are Chen Fan, Fang Jie, Deng Yuanjue, Li Tianrun, Shi Bao, Pang Wanchun, Fang Shijiu, Zheng Biao, and Tong Gu. , Wang Yin, Zhou Jingbao, Fang Tianding, Xu Fang, Xia Houcheng, Zhang Hu, Tong Gu, Lu Jie, Huang Xianshan, Hua Yanqi, Yao Jinzhou, Lu Liang, Tang Duo, Yuan Jun, Xu Yi, etc. The general and the rest of the civil servants have titles.

After the reward was over, everyone danced to thank you, Fang La waved his hand, "No, no!" All the officials immediately returned to the second class to serve.

Fang La announced the abolition of the reign title of Xuanhe of the Great Song Dynasty, and changed the Yuan to "Yongle".

Then he said: "I want to save the people from the sea of ​​suffering, so I have set a goal long ago, to kill all corrupt officials, overthrow the Song Dynasty, and build a Yongle Dynasty where the law is equal. Brothers, however, don't be restrained by the great etiquette of the monarch and his ministers, it will destroy the friendship of Mingjiao."

Thanks everyone.

Since then, Fang La has become the emperor of Shenggong, with more people and horses, and more people doing things. For a while, he was diligent in government affairs, raising food and grass, cooking salt and smelting iron, and practicing people and horses. The officials and gentry in the village were terrified and fled away.

However, on this day, Wang Gong and the old Buddha came out to advise: "Now that the Holy Duke is enthroned, the place is shaking, and soon there will be officers and soldiers coming down to arrest them. The most urgent task of the Holy Duke is to gather all the people to swear, make blood for an alliance, and work together to seize Qingxi first. After winning Mu and Shezhou, as the basis, it will be easy to take the two Zhejiang provinces."

Fang Qifo also said: "Since the great leader received the mandate of heaven, all directions have responded. It is in line with the will of heaven and the will of the people. It is the time to order the heroes of the world to crusade against the Great Song Dynasty and establish a foundation for all generations."

Fang La nodded and said yes.

At the end of November in the second year of Xuanhe, the Jianjiang River was like flowing emerald jade, and the trees on the mountain were like heaps of gold. A round of cold sun shone on the mountains and rivers, and the wind blew yellow leaves from east to west.

Inside the Fangjia lacquer garden, there is an earthen altar facing north and south. There are 28 banners around the altar. The word "Yongle".

On both sides of the big flag, stand two small red tooth flags.

On the left head flag it is written: Go east to capture Zhu Shi.

The flag on the right reads: Go north to get Kaifeng.

The apricot-yellow banner of Yongle in front of the altar fluttered in the wind, and when the wind blew, it trembled wildly. Sheng Gong Fang La stepped up to the altar and stood under the banner of the gate.

Fang La faced everyone with a serious face and said: "The current imperial court is licentious and immoral, powerful officials are arbitrarily domineering, officials ask for bribes, crimes are forgiven by affection, palaces are built, temples are built, flower gang stone labor is promoted, and miscellaneous taxes are levied year by year. With the increase, the common people are exhausted to produce food, weave silk, and the trees and tea leaves on the mountain, all of which are not enough! We have to starve to death on the roadside and freeze to death in the snow, can such a life go on?"

The people under the altar raised their arms and shouted: "No! No! No!"

Fang La said again: "The Liao and Xia Yidi invaded and plundered every year. Instead of resisting, the imperial court knelt down to the Yidi and begged for peace. Every year, they paid tribute to Daliao with 100 million taels of silver, hundreds of thousands of silks, and tea. It is the fat of the people, the anointment of the people, what use is there for such an imperial court?"

"It's useless! It's useless! It's useless!" The audience shouted again.

Fang La said again: "Tigers and wolves live in temples, and cruel officials injure locals. Where will the common people not suffer? When we raise the banner of rebellion, the people of all directions will rise up. As long as we first take down the counties in the south of the Yangtze River, recharge our energy, and then raise our troops to fight Crossing the Yangtze River and heading directly to Tokyo, when the time comes, I will pay lightly and pay poorly, so that the people can recuperate..."

There was another burst of shouting from the audience.

After the swearing-in, Fang La ordered the disciples to kill the white horse and the green ox, and drip the blood into the basin.

Then he first drew blood on his lips, and swore an oath: Today there is Fang La, the Ming religion, and he will uphold the righteousness with all his brothers, vow to destroy the Song Dynasty, kill all corrupt officials, and save the people in an emergency. Under the arrow, an oath was made, and Ming Zun testified. "

Fang La drew out his sword and raised it towards the sky. Hundreds of courtiers under Wang Gong and Old Buddha all raised their swords. More than 1000 Mingjiao leaders inside and outside the lacquer garden also raised their swords, guns, swords and halberds, swearing like a tiger roaring and a dragon chant: "Kill!" ! Kill! Kill!"

Afterwards, these Mingjiao leaders took blood oaths one by one. Needless to say, after the oaths were made, Fang La asked people to take out wine, water and beef, and rewarded everyone. They cheered together, but it was like a thousand-year-old dragon breaking away from the golden chain, and thousands of miles of Qiantang gushed out. The wolf is coming.

The next day, Fang La focused on the head of the 52nd Mingjiao, and handed down two teaching scriptures written by himself, "Sunlight Advocacy" and "Moonlight Advocacy".

The 52 head teachers are: Suzhou Shisheng, Xiuning County Ji Gongchui, Wuyuan County Shen Zhi, Jixi County Diao Ren, Qian County Ouyang Yuanbin, Jinhua County Wu Ruoyun, Yongkang County Liang Baiming, Wuyi County Liu Tieta, etc. .

After three days like this, with flags flying and drums and music playing, the army set off from Bangyuan and headed straight for Qingxi County.
