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

Chapter 314 Commandment, Mingjiao, Liangshan
The weather is getting cooler, autumn is slowly passing, and early winter has arrived.

Prince Qin's mansion prepared Zhao Tun's marriage in an orderly manner. Although it was a concubine, the woman had an imperial title. In terms of status, although she was not as good as a princess, she was no different from the official wife of an ordinary official.

In this dynasty, there were no equal wives, but the concubine of the royal family in this dynasty could be appointed by imperial order, and they were called inner wives.

The imperial orders are divided into internal and external ones, the inner imperial orders refer specifically to the royal family, and the outer imperial orders refer to the official wives or mothers of the ministers.

Probably the concubine of the prince can be named a county king.

The Junjun is the order of the fourth rank!

The official wife or mother of a minister of the fourth rank is the imperial edict, that is, the county lord or the county magistrate.

The status of both is the same.

The first to fifth ranks are called imperial orders, the sixth to ninth ranks are granted imperial orders, and the main wife follows the husband's rank, so there is a saying in the world that "the imperial order lady".

The Song Dynasty followed the Tang system, the first-rank wife of the country, the third-rank and above county wife, the fourth-rank county lord, the fifth-rank county lord, the sixth-rank Ruren, and the seventh-rank concubine.

And to seal his mother, the word "Taiwan" is added before.

After the Emperor Daojun ascended to the throne, he added some titles, Shuren, Gongren and so on.

In addition to being a symbol of identity and status, Gaoming's wife has a royal salary, is a member of the clan, and is recognized by the clan and the world.

Concubine Ji does not belong to the clan, and in many cases it is difficult to even leave her name.

Taking the third prince Zhao Kai as an example, it is recorded that he had one wife and four concubines, all of whom were enfeoffed as county lords, namely: Qiu Ye, Shi Jianu, Shi Jixiang, and Liu Sanfu.

There were more than a dozen other concubines, but those concubines were submerged in the long river of history, not even their names were left, they were not naturalized, and they were not recognized by the royal family.

However, not all concubine concubines of princes will have Mrs. Gaoming appearing.

For example, the fifth prince Su Wang Zhao Shu, apart from his main wife, has dozens of concubines and concubines, and none of them has a royal title.

Another example is the sixth prince Jing Wang Zhao Qi, whose mother is the famous concubine Xiao Qiao. After he opened the mansion, there was a princess named Tian Jingzhu, among dozens of concubines, concubines, only one was appointed as the county lord , named Ma Wudie.

Mostly, the prince who can give orders to the concubine is either favored or in power.

Zhao Tang originally wanted to ask for a higher price, but the Emperor Daojun might not give it to him, but after thinking about it for a long time, he felt that there was no need to worry about it.

It was already afternoon, and he was reading the letter in the study, which was sent by Dai Zong.

Tokyo is not too far from Jeju, and Dai Zong's letters have been very dense recently.

Probably Song Jiang had the intention of recruiting security, and he turned a blind eye to the small actions of many leaders below.

Dai Zong's letter mentioned before that Song Jiang had private talks with the leaders one by one. When he found him, he asked if there were any relatives and friends who were officials in the Tokyo court.

This time Dai Zong's letter said two things, one is that Tian Hu sent people to Liangshan for a ride.

The other one is Jiangnan Mingjiao. Two people visited recently, both of whom are highly skilled in martial arts.

One is called Fang Nineteen, the White-clothed Crane King, and the other is called Du Hongmian, a Du'er Sanren.

Both of them are skilled in martial arts. Although Fang Shijiu is young, Mu Hong, Suo Chao and others are no match for him. In the end, he fought Lin Chong evenly.

Seeing this, Zhao Tun couldn't help frowning slightly...

That day when the water was moored to the shore, Fang Nineteen sat at the table in the wine shop, smiling and looking at the people on the ground.

He didn't use a heavy hand, he just stretched his muscles and bones, but these spies from Liangshan had never been beaten, and they fell to the ground at this moment.

Zhu Gui also lay on the ground, feeling that his fascia had been torn off his legs, and he couldn't lift them up. He had heard of Mingjiao, and it was popular in Jiangnan, and it seemed to be powerful, but he had never seen it in Shandong.

And Fang Nineteen, who claimed to be the Crane King in White, was so skilled in martial arts that he didn't even use a knife. His family members were all knocked down, and he didn't even make a move.

Zhu Gui has been in charge of Liangshan's information all year round, and he has a sharp eye and a deep understanding of people. At this moment, he hurriedly said: "It turns out that the Crane King is here, so I will take the Crane King across the water and go up to Liangshan to meet the big boss."

Fang Shijiu said: "You wait and recover your muscles and bones first, I will wait for another person."

Zhu Gui said yes, and saw that Fang Nineteen in white didn't speak anymore, and sat on a stool with his eyes closed to rest his mind.

Ding Xingwang, a member of the Fang family in Qucun Village, Qingxi County, Muzhou, accounts for more than half of the village's population.

Fang Nineteen is the youngest male in this generation, ranking nineteenth.

Fang Shisan, the purple-clothed youth who rescued him back then, was his cousin, Fang La, who is now the leader of the Ming Cult, and everyone in the sect respectfully calls him Sheng Gong.

The Mingjiao existed in the south of the Yangtze River for not a year or a half. The Shaojiazhuang in Qingxi County that Fang Lakou mentioned at that time was the main altar of the Mingjiao at that time.

Shao Fangqing, the owner of Shaojiazhuang, was the previous leader of Mingjiao.

It's just that Shao Fangqing's gentle temperament made the Mingjiao in the Central Plains happy to live in a corner at that time, and did not think about expanding outwards, so Persia and Uyghur were only regarded as seeds, and no one was sent to help.

Shao Fangqing had an only daughter named Shao Yuxian, who married Fang La as his wife. Shao Fangqing practiced the sky to become crazy, the skin on her body was torn apart, the eyeballs and skin fell off and she died.

After that, Wang Laofo, the left envoy of Guangming, should take over as the leader.

However, Old Buddha Wang had no intention of this position, so he joined the crowd to recommend Fang La as the leader of Mingjiao.

Fang La didn't have a master. Shao Fangqing taught some martial arts when he was alive, and all others were self-taught from the classics in the sect after taking over as the leader.

The number one master of Mingjiao in the Central Plains is actually not Fang La, but Wang Gong Laofo.

Old Buddha Wang accepted Fang Qi as his disciple. Fang Qi was Fang La's cousin.

Seven births and seven deaths are the scriptures. The Buddha said that those who are the first fruit of the Hinayana have to go back and forth to heaven and earth, and undergo seven degrees of life and death before they can prove the fruit of Arhatship.

So Fang Qi is also called Fang Qi Buddha.

Fang Qi inherited the seat of Wang Gong and the old Buddha, and is the bright left envoy for this session.

Fang Nineteen was taken to Shaojiazhuang by Fang La that day and stayed there, but he neither worshiped Shao Fangqing as his teacher, nor did he worship Wang Gong Laofo.

Instead, he met a foreign hero in Shaojiazhuang. This foreign hero had a very strange name called Chen Kuutong.

This person is Shao Fangqing's close friend, his martial arts skills are extremely high, even Shao Fangqing dare not say that he will win, and his words are probably between brothers.

Fang Nineteen worshiped Chen Kuutong as his teacher, and Chen Kuutong used knives, so he learned knives and only practiced one knives, and did not touch other weapons.

He has been studying martial arts for more than ten years, wandering all over the south of the Yangtze River, and never failed, so he got the nickname of He Ming Jiu Xiao Xiao.

Fang La revitalized Mingjiao, and seeing his high martial arts skills, he gave him the seat of Dharma King. Because of his nickname, he was called White-clothed Crane King.

This time when Fang Nineteen came to Liangshan, he was sent by Fang La to contact Liangshan heroes, intending to lobby for a flag of righteousness.

Although Liang Shan had long occupied this place as king, and had gone out to fight with the officers and soldiers in the water, he never really raised the flag of rebellion and talked about changing the dynasty.

Fang Nineteen came here not alone, but with Du Hongmian, a Sanren from Du'e, but Du Hongmian had to go to Tokyo beforehand, and he was supposed to arrive today, so he came to the wine shop earlier to wait.

After a while, everyone on the ground gradually got up, Zhu Gui hurriedly ordered to prepare wine and water for the table, but Fang Nineteen only wanted a pot of weak tea.

Zhu Gui said embarrassingly: "Isn't the Crane King afraid of the sweat medicine in the wine?"

Fang Nineteen shook his head and smiled, "I never drink alcohol."

Zhu Gui was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, this is strange, there is no hero in the world who does not drink, this Mingjiao Crane King looks young, could it be that he is a vegetarian?

Although he doesn't know much about Mingjiao, he has heard about it, and it seems to be related to some Buddha statue, so he can't help but guess at this moment.

Fang Nineteen drank tea, and waited until the sun passed due south, when there was a sound of horseshoes outside, it was Du Hongmian who had arrived.

I saw Du Hongmian dressed in a red dress, with red silk wrapped around his head, with a pair of knives stabbed obliquely behind his back, looking like a dazzling fire, about [-] years old, with willow eyebrows and almond eyes, with a heroic appearance.

The two greeted each other for a while, Zhu Gui took it to the water's edge, then took out a magpie bow, put on a sounding arrow, and shot towards the top of the opposite reeds.

Then a famous young man rowed out a fast boat from the reeds, and jumped on it before Zhu Gui landed.

He is familiar with water, natural and steady, he was proud of himself and just wanted to turn around to talk, but unexpectedly two steel knives were already resting on his neck.

Du Hongmian said coldly: "Master Zhu, the master boarded the boat before the guests were invited, but how does Liangshan treat guests?"

Zhu Gui suddenly smiled wryly in his heart, thinking that the south of the Yangtze River is also a land of water, and in terms of lake water, it is only more than this Jeju, not less than Jeju, both of them must be familiar with water, but it is careless to show off.

He hastily confessed his crime, and ordered Xiao Luo to row away quickly, and the boat moved forward quickly.

After reporting on the mountain, Song Jiang naturally experienced far more than Zhu Gui, knowing that the Jiangnan Mingjiao is a first-class power at this moment, so he summoned all the heroes on the mountain to meet at the Zhongyi Hall.

Sitting in the hall, Fang Nineteen secretly looked at Song Jiang, seeing his dark face and short body, he thought that he was not good for his appearance, and then looked at Lin Chong and Wu Yong on both sides, and there was one with handsome features, white face and long beard, like a gentleman in a school. Another leopard head ring eyes, heroic.

Song Jiang frowned after reading Fang La's letter. Fang La said in the letter that the faint king Zhao Ji was arrogant, extravagant, greedy and innocent. The heroes should join forces to kill corrupt officials, overthrow the faint king, and establish a new dynasty.

Song Jiang felt a little disgusted in his heart, so he threw the letter to Wu Yong without saying a word.

Wu Yong knew that there was a Ming Zun religion in the south, and he wanted to know some details for a long time. After reading the letter, he said: "I also ask King Crane to explain the teachings of your religion."

Fang Nineteen smiled when he heard the words, and he was caressing on the way here. He couldn't speak obscurely to these Liangshan people, but he said, "The holy religion was born in the light, and it is to chase darkness. Here, there is no difference between men and women, they are all brothers and sisters, the poor help each other with money, the weak help each other with education, and everyone who goes in and out, regardless of whether they know each other or not, will teach the whole family."

After Song Jiang heard this, he couldn't help sneering in his heart. It sounded tempting, but these things may last for a short time, but they will never last long. Using such things to confuse him, he found the wrong person.

Wu Yongdao: "I have heard about the flower and stone outline in the south of the Yangtze River, and a small court said it. May I ask why the Crane King is?"

Fang Nineteen thought for a while and said: "Since Chongning, the foolish emperor ordered the treacherous eunuch Tong Guan to set up manufacturing bureaus in Suzhou and Hangzhou, drive thousands of folk craftsmen of all colors in the southeast, search for countless materials, and make ivory, rhino horn, jade, Gold and silver, carvings, weaving and embroidery, etc., were transported to the imperial city of Tokyo for the squandering pleasure of the foolish king."

"Three years later, the Yingfeng Bureau was added, and the courtier Zhu Yu of Suzhou was in charge of collecting rare and rare items of flowers, stones, bamboos and trees. If there are any stones and trees for appreciation in the common people's homes, they will be taken by force, even if they are at the bottom of the river. In other words, they broke into people's houses at random, and those who had them were regarded as belongings before the imperial court. They did not care about tearing down the houses, tearing down the walls and destroying the bridges. For transportation to Tokyo, every ten ships form a gang, which is Huashi Gang."

"As a result, the treacherous Zhu Xi has won the favor of the faint emperor, and his power is rising day by day. He secretly has the power to promote, demote, and even kill officials in the south of the Yangtze River. And all the state capitals and municipal bureaus in the southeast have their own agencies. The emperor, whose location is called the Southeast Little Court."

Wu Yong nodded when he heard the words, and suddenly asked: "May I ask King Crane, where is the main altar of Mingjiao?"

Fang Nineteen remained calm, the other party was obviously inquiring about the truth, but he couldn't help but say it, just like Liangshan in front of him, who in the world doesn't know the location?
He said: "The main altar of the holy religion is located in the Bangyuan Valley beside the Jianshui River. The Bangyuan Valley is more than [-] miles wide and deep. It is composed of three mountains. The mountains are stacked, the water is fast, and the terrain is dangerous. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack."

Wu Yong thought about it when he heard this, while Song Jiang looked at Du Hongmian and said, "How many female generals do you have in Mingjiao?"

Du Hongmian calmly said: "Leader Song, my Mingjiao emphasizes that there is no difference between men and women, regardless of men and women, as long as they have the ability, they can be generals, it doesn't matter how much."

Song Jiang shook his head and said, "It's only a matter of how many women are capable, and there's a lot to talk about as a general."

Du Hongmian saw that Song Jiang didn't care much about Fang La's letter before, so he was very angry. Now he heard that Song Jiang seemed to have a prejudice against women, and he was even more annoyed. If you compete with Liangshan heroes, I'm afraid you won't give up too much!"

Fang Nineteen frowned beside him and said, "Why did Du San come to talk like that!"

Wu Yong shook his feather fan, his expression changed, the Ming Cult had many powerful people, he was afraid of making enemies based on it, so he hurriedly said: "What your lord said in the letter is a big deal, let's talk together, we should have a detailed plan..."

Song Jiang heard that he was afraid that Wu Yong would make a mistake, but if his words were wrong and leaked, it would be hard to recover, and it would definitely affect the plan of recruiting security. , dare not invade the state and occupy the mansion, dare not harass the people, what your lord said cannot be allowed for the time being, you should think carefully before making a decision."

Hearing what he said decisively, Du Hongmian actually leaned towards the court, and couldn't help sneering: "The leader of the Song Dynasty's words are wrong. , And talk about doing justice for the sky? The little girl has heard that there are countless heroes on Liangshan Mountain, why don't you dare to do such a big thing?"

Song Jiang was not annoyed, he looked at her and said, "Du Sanren said just now that he would compete with me, a hero from Liangshan, but he didn't give in too much?"

Du Hongmian said indifferently: "Captain Song heard correctly, the little girl is willing to learn the methods of Liangshan heroes!"

Fang Nineteen couldn't stop him at this moment, he couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart, he said earlier that someone else would come, but Sheng Gong sent this woman, knowing that she has a violent temper and is afraid of bad things.

But at this moment, he has seen that Song Jiang has no intention of joining forces, and after thinking about it for a while, he thinks it's better to take advantage of this to get excited and see if things turn around.

So he said with a smile: "I would also like to meet the heroes of Liangshan for a while!"
