Wuchang, Hubei Governor's Yamen.
In the study of Fang Guangchen, the governor of Hubei Province in the Great Zhou Dynasty, a large group of people were sitting around Governor Fang, and everyone was sighing. Governor Fang Da sat still, staring at the three edicts spread out from left to right on the desk, his face ashen.
Although it is rare for a minister to receive three edicts from one emperor at the same time, it is not impossible, but Fang Guangchen has now received three edicts from three emperors at the same time!
The middle one is from the imperial court of Zhou Emperor Wu Yingxiong.
Wu Yingxiong told Fang Guangchen in the court mail that he had been in contact with Wu Guogui's messenger. Wu Guogui was leading more than 30,000 elite soldiers who had escaped from the Qilbo battlefield and rushed back to Xi'an day and night. Moreover, Wu Yingqi, Ma Bao, Wu Shicong, Liu Xuanchu and others were missing because they led the cavalry to the rear, and most of them are gone. So Wu Yingxiong felt that he could successfully capture Wu Guogui's 30,000 troops... This was a real win!
In addition, Wu Yingxiong also told Fang Guangchen in the letter that he had sent envoys to Kangxi for peace talks, and was prepared to continue to maintain the alliance with the Qing Dynasty and jointly fight against the Qiang Ming at the cost of ceding the Guanzhong territory.
Finally, Wu Yingxiong also asked Fang Guangchen to take strict precautions against the Ming army in the east! If the Ming army really comes to attack, they must defend Wuchang and Hanyang.
The edict placed on the right is from the court of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. .
Emperor Kangxi told Fang Guangchen in a court message that he had won a great victory in the battle between Qilbo and Naobao Mountain. He had killed the pseudo-Yuan Emperor Burni, and also seized the Sulu ingot spear and the Jiuyou Black Book, which symbolized the Mongolian Khan's throne. Moreover, he also convened the leaders of the Mobei, Monan, Dongdao and Momongo tribes in Kuku and Tun to hold a Kurtai conference to elect the new Mongolian Khan.
Kangxi estimated that he would definitely be chosen, and by then he would be the Great Khan of Mongolia and the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty!
In addition, Kangxi also reminded Fang Guangchen in the edict that the Wu and Zhou brothers were fighting each other and repeatedly betrayed their trust, so they had already lost their hearts!
Kangxi also kindly asked Fang Guangchen to make plans in advance. He also said that as long as Fang Guangchen was willing to return Wuchang City or Hanyang City to the Qing Dynasty when necessary, the Qing Dynasty would not only ignore the past grievances, but also let him continue to be the governor of Hubei. In addition, he would also I will make him a marquis!
Although Kangxi did not say that he would definitely attack Wu Yingxiong, the meaning behind his words was already obvious.
Finally, Kangxi also asked Fang Guangchen to support the Confucian disciples in Wuchang, Hankou, and Hanyang to fight against the pseudo-Confucianism of the Confucian sect...
The edict on the left is the edict sent by Zhu Heji, who had just announced in Nanjing that he had accepted the support of the government and the people and would officially ascend the throne on the first day of July.
In this edict, Zhu Heji, who had already regarded himself as emperor, told Fang Guangchen that he would personally lead an army of 300,000 land and sea troops to attack Wu Zhou! He also asked Fang Guangchen to surrender anyway to ensure the prosperity of his family.
Of course, receiving three edicts at the same time would not make Fang Guangchen's face so ugly... The real reason that made him look livid was that the two edicts issued by Zhu Heji and Kangxi appeared in his mind somehow. In the study room inside the Hubei Governor's Yamen.
Fang Guangchen's Hubei Governor's Office is the most heavily guarded place in the entire Wuchang city. Now, Kangxi and Zhu Heji's agents can come in and out at will, and even go straight into the study room of the mansion... If the person coming in is not a messenger but Assassin, has the head of the other governor been placed in a box and sent to Beijing or Nanjing?
Thinking of this, Fang Guangchen took his eyes away from the three edicts on the desk and turned to the nine nephews and nephews of the Fang family in the room.
Wu Yingxiong trusted Fang Guangchen so much that he not only allowed him to sit in Wuchang with the dignity of a bachelor and govern the most populous and core area of Zhou Dynasty, but also allowed Fang Guangchen's nine nephews to accompany him, and Fang Guangchen's nephews were also in Wuchang, Hanyang, and Hankou. Taking office helped Fang Guangchen firmly control the place.
But now, there is such a big omission in the place that should be firmly controlled by the Fang family's nephews!
This thing... looks a bit unusual no matter how you look at it!
Fang Guangchen's eyes lightly swept over the faces of his nine nephews, and each of them felt a little scared when he saw them. But no one dared to say a word. The room was so quiet that you could hear people's rapid breathing.
Suddenly, Fang Guangchen's nephew Fang Xueying said: "Uncle, Confucianism and Confucianism have developed like crazy in Wuchang City in the past two years. Their open schools and secret halls are everywhere, and there will be a fight every now and then... ...There are even many people in the Wuchang army who have learned Confucianism!"
Fang Guangchen's son Fang Xueshi also said bitterly: "That's right, although these two groups call themselves Confucianism, what they do is completely disgraceful!
Over at the Hankou commercial port, the Confucian people carried sticks and swaggered around all day long, and they even collected "education money" from the merchants in Hankou. They actually needed money for this education!
And the Confucian sect is not much better. These people carry swords and run rampant in Hankou every day, killing people at every turn! From time to time, they would get into fights with the Confucian disciples. When they got into fights, they would throw grenades and hammers at people, which made the businessmen in Hankou afraid of them!
Although they don't charge any 'education money', they will force businessmen's children to go to the schools they run to read some messy books..."
Fang Guangchen's son Fang Xueqian said: "Sir, this incident must be caused by them... These two groups of people are called Confucians, but they are actually rebels. The arrests of Wuchang Prefecture and Hankou Prefecture are both Anti-canonical scriptures were found in the halls of two Confucian sects!"
Fang Guangchen's nephew, Fang Xuefan, the prefect of Hankou, also gritted his teeth and said: "Uncle, you don't know, those pseudo-Confucians actually said that this anti-Confucianism is one of the Four Books and Six Classics, and it was also handed down from the sages... .This is really treasonous!”
"Anti-Jing" is a good thing!
After being taken away by Zhu Heji's Confucian sect, it was immediately used to train the disciples... Now is the era of "two contending families" in Confucian sects. Since it is "two families contending", then Confucianism has the "Anti-Jing", and Confucianism must also have it.
Moreover, this "Anti-Jing" was passed down from Confucianism under the leadership of Shenggong, so some Confucian disciples thought it was the "unique knowledge" of the sages... Back then, hundreds of schools of thought were contending, so why could Confucianism laugh at it? To the end?
It’s definitely not possible to rely on knowledge from the Four Books and Five Classics! If it works, why can't even Buddhism be dealt with?
Therefore, there must have been a sutra of struggle such as "Anti-Jing" back then.
Moreover, it is said that Confucius was nine feet tall and extremely powerful. He was the best in the world at shooting and killing people. He also had seventy-two heroes and three thousand warriors under his command... This style was obviously different from the sour Confucians of later generations!
Therefore, this "Anti-Jing" has been passed down as one of the "Four Books and Six Classics", and there are also rumors about "Confucian secret hall" and "Confucian sword bearer".
Later, Confucianism and Confucianism were both said to be "the birth of dark Confucianism"!
In short, Confucianism and Confucianism have finally reached an agreement on the issue of "rebellion", and they have both packaged themselves as some kind of "secret hall" and "sword bearer"...
On the Hubei side, because there is a lack of "Zhou Confucians" to resist Confucianism and Confucianism, and Wu Yingxiong has been swinging between the Ming and Qing dynasties, the two Confucian sects have invested "heavy troops" in Hubei, both trying to conquer the other side. Squeeze out!
After Fang Guangchen heard his nephew talk about this matter, he became very angry. He is a serious Confucian scholar and has never heard of "dark Confucianism" or "anti-Confucianism". When taking the imperial examination, there is no test on rebellion! Why is there such a rebellious thing happening now?
And after Fang Guangchen's research, everything in "Anti-Jing" looks like the stuff of the White Lotus Sect! If it weren't for the endorsements of Zhu Heji, Kangxi, and the Holy Duke Kong Yuqi, he would have suspected that this group of people were White Lotus followers.
When he was thinking about whether to send troops to suppress it, there was a sudden knock on the door, and then one of his masters shouted: "Mr. Ge, Mr. Ge, something big has happened. Confucianism has rebelled! Confucianism has rebelled." Rebellion..."
