The longevity of the heavens begins with Mingyu Gong

Chapter 101

After Song Xing finished speaking, it was like a hurricane blowing through the apricot forest, causing countless unbelievable exclamations and curses in an instant.

The low-level disciples who didn't know the truth yelled at Song Xing, and the elders who knew the truth looked at Song Xing in surprise, wondering how he knew this big secret.

As for Qiao Feng, after being stunned, he was furious: "Song Yinzhang, I respect your character, why are you so nonchalant?"

Qiao Feng grew up in Song Dynasty since he was a child, and all the education he received made him identify with Song Dynasty from the bottom of his heart. When he became an adult, he joined the Beggar Gang and fought bloody battles against Xixia, and he was even more proud of being a citizen of Song Dynasty.

Hearing that Song Xing had slandered him as a Khitan, he was shocked and angry.

Looking at the furious Qiao Feng, Song Xing said calmly: "Eight years ago, you overcame the three difficulties that Wang Jiantong set for you, and made seven great contributions to the Beggars' Gang. You, in the hundreds of years of the Beggar Sect, there has never been a second Sect Leader, and it is as difficult as yours to get."

"Since you took over as the head of the Beggars' Gang from Wang Jiantong, the Beggars' Gang has flourished, and its prestige has come close to Shaolin, the largest sect in martial arts today. Whether it is prestige, martial arts, or personal virtue, you are the most impeccable leader of the Beggars' Gang since its establishment. But even so, with just a few words and a letter from a woman, these people will turn against you, why?"

Qiao Feng was stunned for a moment, at this moment Elder Xu said loudly: "That's right, that's why I'm here today. We turned against you not because of personal grievances, but because of you, Qiao Feng. Humans, but Khitan Hulu!"

Next, as in the original plot, monk Zhiguang and several people appeared on the stage, slowly telling the story of the Yanmenguan massacre that year, and uncovering a shocking martial arts tragedy.

After Qiao Feng heard it, his face turned pale, and he said angrily: "No, no! You are talking nonsense and fabricating such a nonsense to frame me. I am a dignified Han, how can I be a Khitan Hulu? I...I..."

Suddenly, he separated his arms and grabbed Zhiguang in front of him, grabbing his chest with his left hand.

Shan Zheng and Elder Xu shouted at the same time: "No!" They stepped forward to grab someone.

Qiao Feng was extremely fast, with Zhiguang's body, he dodged in a flash.

Elder Xu shouted: "Qiao Feng, Master Zhiguang is admired by everyone in the world, you must not harm his life."

Qiao Feng's blood surged, and he said loudly: "Master Zhiguang is a man I have always admired. If you want to get rid of my position as leader, that's fine. I'll give it up to others. Why did you make up such words to slander me?" I?"

Although he said he didn't believe it, the hoarse voice already revealed his inner struggle at the moment. If someone else said these words, Qiao Feng would fight him desperately, but these words came from Master Zhiguang.

Zhiguang made a great wish back then, traveled across the oceans and wilds overseas, collected bark of different species, and cured countless people infected with miasma in Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi.

As a result of this, he suffered two serious illnesses and lost all his martial arts, but it is not uncommon to benefit the common people, and he is someone Qiao Feng truly admires.

After all, Qiao Feng is not an ordinary person. After the initial irritability and anger, he quickly calmed down, loosened Zhiguang's acupoints, and said: "What is the truth, I can't listen to your one-sided words. Qiao will definitely find out what the truth is. .”

Elder Xu deliberately planned what happened today, in order to overthrow Qiao Feng in one fell swoop, he immediately showed the letter that Xuanci wrote to Wang Jiantong, and as expected, he was deceived by Zhiguang, who destroyed Xuanci's signature and made things happen again. It became confusing.

After Song Xing helped Qiao Feng get rid of the suspicion of killing Ma Dayuan, he watched the development of the situation without saying a word.

The fact that Qiao Feng is a Khitan is an indelible fact, and this is also the trigger for Qiao Feng's sad withdrawal from the Beggars' Gang in the original plot.

But in Song Xing's view, although the status of the Khitan is extremely unfavorable to Qiao Feng, it is not fatal. The Beggar Clan is not completely unacceptable to Qiao Feng. The identity of the Khitan people.

In the original plot, Qiao Feng sadly left the stage. Apart from the fact that the disciples of the beggar gang could not accept the news for a while, it was more because of the fact that Qiao Feng himself could not accept the fact that he was a Khitan. In addition, Quan Guanqing, Elder Xu and others coveted the position of the leader of the gang, adding fuel to the flames. the result of.

In the real history of the Song Dynasty, although the beggar gang hates the Khitan people at the moment, the one who really fights the most is actually Xixia.

During the reigns of Taizong and Zhenzong, the military conflicts between Song and Liao were the most intense and frequent. The two sides fought countless big and small battles.

When the two sides had nothing to do with each other, the two sides signed the Chanyuan Alliance, Song and Liao were about brotherly countries, and they did not invade each other, maintaining a peaceful situation that lasted for a hundred years.

After Song Zhezong came to power, he started the new law, introduced Shenzong's achievements in opening up the territory, restarted the Battle of Hehuang, and took over Qingtang.

Zhezong is committed to attacking Xixia. In order to avoid being attacked on both sides, he continues to maintain peace with the Liao Kingdom. So far, there has been no large-scale war between Song and Liao for nearly a hundred years.

Xingzilin was the turning point of Qiao Feng's fate. His identity as a Khitan was certainly the main reason, but more of it was mixed with the power struggle between the Beggar Clan's Dirty Clothes Sect and the Clean Clothes Sect.

The Beggar Gang originated in the late Tang Dynasty. Warlord disputes caused many farmers to leave the land and become beggars.

In the early Northern Song Dynasty, the economy was prosperous, and the whole society was relatively rich, and a huge beggar class could be supported. At this time, the beggar gang gradually stabilized in the form of a gang.

The initial beggar gang members are almost all beggars with nothing, and after the gang grows, a stricter system is needed to control the loose gang power.

Of course, this is not something illiterate beggars can design, so beggar gangs began to accept some other social class forces, intellectuals, small landlords, and petty bourgeoisie, and arranged important positions in the gang because of their economic conditions and social resources.

These newly joined classes, after being unable to enter the elite class and become the power of the imperial government, need the protection and blessing of the gang, and are willing to bring their family fortune to join the beggar gang.

The dominance of the new class in the beggar gang naturally caused the old power groups to be attacked and suppressed, so two different forces gradually emerged within the gang.

The Dirty Clothes Sect, which is composed of the poorest disciples at the bottom, and the Clean Clothes Sect, which has a higher social status, show their affiliation by wearing clothes, and the two factions have fought openly and secretly in the gang many times.

Qiao Feng, who was born in a farming family, was a disciple of the Dirty Clothes Sect before he became the leader of the sect. He even liked to drink with the disciples of the lower class, and he was very prestigious among the lower class members.

This is Qiao Feng's strength, but also his biggest weakness.

He is forthright and fair. Although he has a high prestige, he has never deliberately cultivated his own loyalists.

Many senior officials of the Clean Clothes Sect of the Dirty Clothes Sect admired him sincerely, but when it came to their own interests, and when they learned of Qiao Feng's Khitan identity, most of them chose to abandon Qiao Feng.

Qiao Feng is open-minded, close to the bottom of the Stained Clothes Sect, and fair in dealing with things. Disciples of the Stained Clothes Sect who have made meritorious service will also be promoted to high-level positions, which further arouses the dissatisfaction of the top of the Clean Clothes Sect.

When Ma Dayuan was alive, his personality was upright, gentle and humble, and he was able to mediate between the two factions. Once Ma Dayuan died, Elder Xu, Elder Chen, Quan Guanqing and other leaders of the Clean Clothes Sect prepared to take the opportunity to attack.

At this time, a suicide note about Qiao Feng's life experience left by the former gang leader Wang Jiantong just gave an excellent opportunity to bring down Qiao Feng.

Wang Jiantong, the leader of the Clean Clothes Sect of the previous generation, chose Qiao Feng as the successor, not necessarily because he was willing. At the beginning, Wang Jiantong might not want the leader of the Beggar Sect to pass on to Qiao Feng, so he set difficult and complicated conditions for him.

Although it made it more difficult for Qiao Feng to obtain the position of gang leader, the downside was that every time Qiao Feng solved a problem, his authority and reputation in the gang would increase.

After all the tasks were completed by Qiao Feng, Wang Jiantong knew that passing the position of Clan Leader to anyone other than Qiao Feng would cause extreme dissatisfaction among the Clan members and cause an imbalance of power. Control, out of worry, not expectation, made Wang Jiantong decide to let Qiao Feng get the leadership position.

Elder Xu, the elder of the Clean Clothes Sect, was already dissatisfied with Qiao Feng's leadership of the Beggar Gang, but he dared not confront him openly. Qiao Feng had a very high reputation in the gang, and a large number of dirty clothes disciples at the bottom of the Beggar Gang regarded Qiao Feng as gods.

Once the Clean Clothes Sect and Qiao Feng's forces clashed, they would definitely suffer losses, but once the truth of Qiao Feng's identity as a Khitan was revealed, the situation would be different.

If they knew that their gang leader was actually a Khitan, then the two internal factions could fight against each other, first depose or even kill Qiao Feng, and then cleanse the entire high-level forces of the Dirty Clothes Sect, and then the Clean Clothes Sect would be able to control the power center of the Beggars Sect.

Qiao Feng left Luoyang to investigate Jiangnan, which was a heaven-sent opportunity for the Jingyi faction's coup. Fuyu Jiangnan is the sphere of influence of Jingyi's top management, so when Qiao Feng arrived at the apricot forest where the spring breeze was blowing, there was already an undercurrent.

The Clean Clothes Sect used the suspicion of Ma Dayuan's death as evidence to accuse Qiao Feng of protecting the Murong family, until Elder Xu Quan Guanqing showed the last letter of Gang Leader Wang, which changed the situation and forced the elders of the Stained Clothes Sect to stand by them.

The Beggar Gang is the largest sect in the world, and a Khitan man is the leader of the gang, which is a disgrace to the entire gang and should have been kept secret.

Elder Xu guessed that he wanted to expand the results of bringing down Qiao Feng and shame the entire Stained Clothes faction, so he found Zhao Qiansun, Zhiguang and others who participated in the robbery and murder of Qiao Feng's parents back then, and invited Shan Zheng, a powerful man from Shandong, as a witness , Determined to make the news that the gang leader is a Hu.

His purpose is not only to depose Qiao Feng, but also to make the Dirty Clothes Sect shameless to compete for the next leader, and the Beggar Gang will completely fall into the hands of the Clean Clothes Sect.

Combined with the plot before and after Tianlong and the information obtained by the six doors, Song Xing quickly deduced the cause and effect of the matter in all sevens and eighties.

The matter has developed to the present, although Song Xing's strong intervention has cleared Qiao Feng's suspicion of killing Ma Dayuan, but overall it is still proceeding according to the plan of the Clean Clothes Sect.

Bai Shijing's killing of Ma Dayuan was an accident, but Qiao Feng's identity as a Khitan was revealed, and the top beggar gang members basically started to side with Elder Xu. Although many lower-level beggar gang disciples still supported Qiao Feng, they did not have the right to speak and could not make the final decision. .

So Song Xing has been waiting for a variable, and this variable was actually sent to Song Xing by Elder Xu himself.
