Chapter 206 0201 [Conspiracy Scholar]

It is very common for Shandong scholars to join the demon sect, and there are not a few people who even use this to conspire.

In the eighth year of Qingli, there was chaos when there was a king named Maitreya, and the king was just a farmer.

Pushing the time forward again, in the fifth year of Qingli, Kong Zhiwen used the magic tricks to confuse the soldiers into rebellion.When the transshipment envoy received the report, Lu Jujian ordered the arrest.

Kong Zhiwen, who conspired to rebel, was not only an upright Juren, but also a direct disciple of Shi Jie, a great Confucian in Shandong.

In the same year, another scholar rebelled in Puzhou, and Lu Jujian went to arrest him on horseback.

The following year, Shandong scholars Liu Xie, Liu Qi, and Hu Xin were beheaded for treason. These three were also Juren!
The successive incidents of scholar rebellion aroused the great attention of the imperial court, and Fu Bi went to Shandong to investigate in person.

The result of Fu Bi's investigation was that Shandong scholars failed in their careers, so they felt resentful.He has also read history books, and has a rough idea of ​​the rise and fall, so he learned the art of war and martial arts, made friends with murderers and monsters in secret, and thought of taking advantage of the chaos to rebel when encountering natural disasters.He also said, "There are actually many people like this kind, scattered among the people, but they have not been heard."

However, there are so many students who failed the imperial examinations across the country, why did Shandong scholars rebel one after another?
The real reason is hidden in the four characters of "coarse knowledge of the rise and fall". The imperial court's violent expropriation of Shandong made Shandong scholars see the phenomenon of subjugation.This is still in the Qingli year!
Shi Yuangong is such a scholar. He was born in a small landlord's family and passed the examination at the age of 17.When I was 30 years old, I still couldn't pass the Jinshi exam, and my family went bankrupt due to tyranny. Seeing the poor livelihood of the people in Shandong, I had the idea of ​​rebellion.

He first joined Maitreya Sect in Daming Mansion, but the demon sect organization there was destroyed by the government, so Shi Yuangong had to abscond and return to his hometown in Puzhou.

Hearing that there is an Immortal He in Huhe Town, Duke Shi Yuan immediately went to visit his teacher.

Soon, he discovered that He Shenxian was a liar, and a very low-level liar at that.But such a low level has deceived many foolish men and women, and even the rich locals are convinced of it.

Shi Yuangong decided to use it, he was afraid that if he directly played the sign of Maitreya Sect, it would arouse the vigilance of the government.So he only quoted part of the teachings, changed its name to Huohaierjiao, enshrined He Shenxian as the great protector, and established a missionary organization in the countryside.

Taking advantage of Song Huizong's devotion to Taoism and ordering the construction of Taoist temples across the country, he changed the Huohaier Temple to Chilong Temple, and asked He Shenxian to worship Wang Laozhi as his teacher.

Shi Yuangong's original intention was to rebel, but things didn't go according to his script.

He Shenxian is just a farmer, very short-sighted.With more and more believers, and putting on the cloak of Wang Laozhi's disciples, from then on he only thought about making money and enjoying himself, and became more and more defiant.

Huohaierjiao, it's out of control!

"Great Protector, Zhizhou is here, saying that he wants to pay homage to the Red Dragon Temple, and ask True Lord Red Dragon to calculate his future."

"Let him wait."

He Shenxian was wearing a Taoist robe, and it was also a purple Taoist robe.

After meeting Wang Laozhi, he specially sent people to Xingren Mansion to dye this dress. The dye house in Puzhou did not have purple dye at all.

Shi Yuangong said: "My lord, don't neglect Zhizhou, don't make him wait."

He Shenxian actually said: "Although you have read books, you don't know as much as I do. At this time, you can't rush to see him, you have to let him wait."

"It's different," Shi Yuangong persuaded, "this magistrate, when he first arrived in Lei Ze County, he arrested the Qian and Sun families. His temper and methods are so tough. We must take good care of us, and we must not Show off your feet, just pretend to be an ordinary Taoist priest."

He Shenxian smiled and said: "Zhizhou is also a human being. Let alone Zhizhou, if you meet the emperor, you should let the emperor wait. Wang Laozhi from Linpu went to Beijing to meet the emperor, didn't he scare the emperor?"

Shi Yuangong stopped talking, he knew He Shenxian was stupid, but he didn't expect to be so arrogant.

It's not scary to be stupid, it's hopeless to be stupid and crazy.

Being able to respond to all kinds of calls in Huhe Town, I feel that the whole Puzhou is my own, and even dare to deliberately neglect the Zhizhou.

This place can't stay anymore, Shi Yuangong made up his mind to take money and go to the north to have a look.

I heard that the Maitreya religion in Qizhou has developed well, and even opened a branch altar in Yunzhou, and even the horse army in Yunzhou has Maitreya followers.Perhaps, the leader of the Maitreya Sect in Qizhou is a master who can do great things, and I can assist him to seize the world.

Ju Ming waited for a quarter of an hour outside Chilong Temple.

Bai Sheng and Zhang Tong got tired of waiting, and looked left and right according to their weapons.

Deng Chun and Li Bao remained calm, they kept this mission in mind, and only regarded the monsters in the Red Dragon Temple as dead people.What's the rush with the dead?
Zhu Ming not only observed the Taoist priest who was in charge of welcoming guests, but also observed his own entourage.

He was a little disappointed by Bai Sheng and Zhang Tong. He was impatient for such a small scene. How can he do big things in the future?
Deng Chun and Li Bao can be cultivated, have a calm personality and have the potential to become generals.

Especially Li Bao, who usually looks very impatient, but can calm down at critical moments.

"The Great Protector is here!" A demon shouted loudly.

Ju Ming looked forward and suddenly felt that it was extremely funny.

He Shenxian just came out of the Taoist temple, not a few steps away, and he was still wearing a guard of honor.Those guards of honor obviously learned from the government, holding placards, holding umbrellas, and beating gongs, as if they were on tour like a county magistrate.

Shi Yuangong followed behind He Shenxian, and when he saw Zhu Ming coming with archers, and each of them had weapons in their hands, he felt panic and uneasiness.

Seeing how young Ju Ming was again, I was extremely envious and jealous.

Why did I study hard in a poor window, not only failed to pass the Jinshi exam, but was also forced to ruin my family by the government.But Ju Ming is a majestic Zhizhou at a young age?

He Shenxian deliberately put on airs to keep Zhu Ming waiting for a long time, and even played a guard of honor to show his prestige.At this moment when he walked in front of Zhu Ming, he suddenly showed a look of horror, and pretended to be a ghost: "Strange, strange, is it really the reincarnation of senior brother?"

Zhu Ming followed the other person's words and asked, "What brother is reincarnated?"

He Shenxian said: "There is a true red dragon in the sky, who incarnates hundreds of millions of gods. The Buddha is the incarnation of the true red dragon, the Jade Emperor is also the incarnation of the true red dragon, and the fire boy is also the incarnation of the true red dragon. Zhizhou has heard Overfire kid?"

Zhu Ming said: "Of course I have heard that the Taizu of this dynasty was born as Xianghaier, and Huohaier was specially assisted by Emperor Taizu in winning the country."

In order to show his own destiny, Zhao Kuangyin made up many mythical stories, such as Xianghaier, Dingguang Buddha, Huolun Xiaoer, shutting his mouth and opening his bow, etc.

He Shenxian said: "I was originally a disciple of the Chilong Zhenjun, and I was reincarnated to help the world. Now when I see Zhizhou, I am [-]% similar to my senior brother. Zhizhou must be the reincarnation of my senior brother. It is too expensive. It's priceless!"

Zhu Ming asked: "Before I was reincarnated, what kind of god was it?"

He Shenxian said: "Senior brother learned Taoism under the seat of Chilong Zhenjun, and incarnated as Nabei Zhendi, in charge of the life and death of people in the world."

Emperor Beizhen, one of the emperors of the Four Heavenly Palaces in the Song Dynasty, is very likely to be the prototype of Emperor Zhenwu.

Compared with Lin Lingsu, this Taoist priest is nothing but rubbish, and his bragging is a mess.

Zhu Ming couldn't be bothered to talk nonsense anymore, and asked, "I am both your senior brother and the prefect of Puzhou, why did you make me wait so long?"

He Shenxian was stunned for a moment, it shouldn't be this kind of reaction, Zhizhou should ask about things in the sky, so he could only bow his head and apologize: "I didn't know it was senior brother who came."

Zhu Ming shouted angrily: "Now you know, call out everyone in Chilongguan, so that you can welcome this emperor in! If there is no one left, you have to come out to welcome them all, otherwise how can you be worthy of my status as Beizhen Emperor?"

He Shenxian was a little confused by the scolding, and said to the left and right disciples: "Call out all the brothers and sisters in the temple."

Shi Yuangong felt more and more that the situation was not right, subconsciously crouched and retreated, looking for an opportunity to escape quickly.

"Stop," Zhu Ming pointed at Shi Yuangong, "Who is that guy? Come and pay respects to my emperor!"

Shi Yuangong stepped forward bravely: "Emperor Beizhen is here, best of luck, disciple Shi Mao is polite."

Zhu Ming looked at the people around He Shenxian again, all of them were quite strong, probably the thieves he recruited.

Not long after, more than 20 people came out of the gymnasium.

Zhu Ming asked, "Is everyone here?"

He Shenxian said, "We've all come to see our senior brother."

The iron mace was hung on the horse, and Zhu Ming only had a sword around his waist.

He pulled out the sword and said: "This sword was given by the immortal in a dream. I didn't know the name of the immortal before, but it turned out to be True Lord Chilong."

Seeing the sword unsheathed, He Shenxian was a little frightened, shrank his neck and said, "It really was given by Master."

Zhu Ming stepped forward: "Let me see if this celestial weapon is sharp."

"Dingranfeng..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Ming had already slashed out with a sword, and He Shenxian fell down clutching his neck.

A few strong men nearby ran away in panic, and Zhu Ming chased after him with his sword in hand.

Bai Sheng, Deng Chun, Li Bao, and Zhang Tong shouted in unison: "The way to kill the demon!"

The archers and Baojia soldiers behind them didn't realize it for a while, and they really thought that Zhizhou came to worship the gods.Seeing the four leaders all rushing forward, after being a little dazed, they subconsciously followed suit.

Shi Yuangong was too close, he didn't dare to run away, he knelt down in panic and begged for mercy: "Forgive me, I want to take my crime and do meritorious service, I want to take my sin and do meritorious service!"

Bai Sheng wanted to hack this person to death, but when he heard that he wanted to make meritorious service, he kicked him over and said, "Tie him up!"

Zhu Ming's original plan was to surround the Taoist temple at night and wipe out the demons inside.

Unexpectedly, a rich local family took the initiative to invite, and the leader of the demon way was so stupid that he really called everyone together, making the whole arrest process feel like a child's play.

It's easy to serve in one pot.

14 people were killed on the spot and 37 people were captured alive.

"The prefect Rongzhi, I am a scholar, I want to take the blame and make meritorious service!" Shi Yuangong was still shouting.

Zhu Ming ordered: "Enter the Taoist temple first, and search to see if there are any remaining crimes. If you find demon books and goods, report them immediately."

Shi Yuangong continued to shout: "The wealth is not in the Taoist temple, that guy has his wife and children hiding elsewhere."

"Come on, as long as you confess honestly, you will be spared." Zhu Ming laughed.

If you don't die, you will be sent to the army!

Shi Yuangong gritted his teeth, intending to seek wealth in danger: "Please retreat to the left and right, the eunuch, I have something important to report."

Zhu Ming asked Bai Sheng and others to search with archers, leaving only Shi Yuangong by his side: "If you fart, let it go."

Shi Yuangong said: "The prefect can know that the destiny is permanent, and the country is countless? Today, there are foolish monarchs and treacherous officials, and the people in the four directions are miserable. The time of the Great Song Dynasty is numbered. There are countless heroes dormant on the two routes of Beijing and East. Just wait for the Ming Lord to ascend to the heights, and everyone will follow him. The prefect is a young talent, why should he sacrifice his life for that stupid king? You may as well wait for the opportunity, find the Ming Lord and assist him, and you will definitely be the founding honor of the country!"

Zhu Ming was amused: "You scholar, reading makes your brain stupid, right?"

Shi Yuangong said: "The prefect was successful at a young age, and he didn't know the sufferings of the people. But I have traveled all over Jingdong and Hebei. Where is it not that thieves are rampant and demon sects are everywhere? It is only a natural disaster and man-made disaster. Heroes will rise together and present to the group of heroes The momentum! Although the prefect is honorable, he made plans early on."

"Since you are a scholar, you must have read history books," Zhu Ming asked. "In the past dynasties, who relied on the demon religion to win the world? There are millions of yellow scarves, and they will be destroyed overnight."

Shi Yuangong said: "Although the demon sect cannot conquer the world, it can disrupt the world. Only when the world is in chaos can we wait for an opportunity to revolt. It will not be too late to ban the demon sect after the Ming Lord cleans up the universe."

"That's all?" Zhu Ming asked.

Shi Yuangong said: "The eunuch doesn't have to start a fight right away. He has to wait for the generation of Chen Wu and Huang Wang to appear. There must be a master of the Ming Dynasty who will come from behind. The eunuch can choose the master of the Ming Dynasty to assist him!"

Ju Ming asked: "Why can't I be the master of enlightenment and have to help others?"

Shi Yuangong was dumbfounded at first, then he was overjoyed and knelt down: "I pay homage to Minggong!"

Zhu Ming looked down on this kind of stuff, and scolded: "Stop talking nonsense, you really think I'm a rebellious minister? Now I'll give you an errand to identify the Taoist priests of Huang Tingguan as demons!"

Shi Yuangong hurriedly said: "The eunuch is aware of the details, Huang Tingguan should be the lair of demons."
