Zheng Gang's ears felt warm, and he stretched out his hand to pull Guang Xiu into his arms, and his burning gaze was deeply attracted.
Guang Xiu gently unbuttoned her Luo Yi, revealing her charming curves. Zheng Gang could no longer bear it, and buried his head with a low voice like a hungry wolf.
On the couch, Zheng Gang stared at the curtains, one hand wandering up and down, and whispered: "Yan Shenggong was appointed by the court as a supervisor, responsible for supervising the dredging of the river. This is not a good thing for you. Good news."
Guangxiu reached out and touched Zheng Gang's chest, and said softly: "This is unexpected. Without this appointment, Yanshenggong's Mansion could be used by Bai Lian to inspire people's hearts and strengthen the brothers' clan. But now it seems that Yanshenggong's Mansion may not be Believable."
"what you up to?"
Zheng Gang felt the murderous intention and asked quickly.
Guangxiu smiled peacefully and said: "What can I do as a woman, but the Buddha Mother will never allow Yan Shenggong's Mansion to sabotage this operation."
"Buddha Mother? She came to Yanzhou Mansion?"
Zheng Gang sat up in shock and looked at Guang Xiu uneasily.
Guang Xiu pulled Zheng Gang to lie down and said, "It doesn't matter whether she comes or not. As long as the dredging project opens up the river and construction begins, the people will inevitably suffer. The most severe suffering is when the white lotus blooms. You adults need to help us bloom." Bai Lian, I can give you as much light as you want in the future."
Zheng Gang was secretly shocked.
The White Lotus cultists are active in Yanzhou Prefecture. As long as they don't cause trouble, they can turn a blind eye. However, the White Lotus Cultist Mother is not an ordinary person. She has extremely strong energy. If the court learns that not only has she not actively eradicated the White Lotus Cult, , but it has a relationship with its senior management, which is a dead end.
"White Lotus Buddha Mother cannot stay in Yanzhou!"
Zheng Gang gritted his teeth and warned.
Guangxiu didn't take it seriously and replied easily: "Don't worry, sir, the Buddha Mother is just passing through here this time. She will not stay in Shandong for a long time."
Zheng Gang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that, stood up and said, "I need to see Duke Yan Sheng and urge him not to accept the imperial decree."
Guang Xiu stood by and helped Zheng Gang put on his clothes. Fang said, "If Yan Shenggong takes this job, he will definitely persuade the people to obey the court. This will not be good for Bai Lian's uprising. If you fail to persuade, what will happen next will happen." Leave it to the White Lotus Sect."
"That's Duke Yansheng. The White Lotus Sect can't be so presumptuous!"
Zheng Gang said sternly.
Guangxiu said with a smile: "The White Lotus Sect does not recognize Yanshenggong, it only believes in Maitreya Buddha."
Zheng Gang knew that the White Lotus Sect was lawless and felt powerless to interfere anymore, so he had to sigh and leave. Ever since he jumped into the swamp of the White Lotus Sect, there was no turning back.
Not long after Zheng Gang left, Guangxiu changed his clothes, put on a curtain hat, quietly left the government office through the back door, cautiously walked around a few streets, and when no one was paying attention, he entered an inconspicuous residence.
Mo'er, who was dressed in plain clothes, was drying clothes. When she saw Guangxiu coming, she joked: "Mrs. Zheng is here, Mo'er is being polite."
Guang Xiu rolled her eyes at Mo'er and said, "Sister, do you still need to call you Princess Zhou?"
When Mo'er heard the word "King of Zhou", she couldn't help but feel a little sad, and said: "Don't mention him again. How about it? What news can you find out?"
"Sister, I know you are thinking about Zhu Youxuan. I heard that he has returned to Kaifeng Mansion. If you really care, you might as well go find him after we complete our mission."
Guang Xiu knows Mo'er's thoughts.
Since the death of Zhou Wang Zhu Ju, the Zhou Palace existed in name only. Although Emperor Jianwen later released Zhu Youhuan back to Kaifeng, he took back the three guards of Zhou Wang and only allowed him to enjoy the treatment of Zhou Wang without any real power. In addition, the chief official of Kaifeng was Qitai and Jingqing, both important ministers of the imperial court, did not care about the downtrodden second generation "King of Zhou" Zhu Youxuan.
Zhu Youyi's life was not comfortable, and the drastic changes in his life would definitely make Zhu Youyi miss his old days and people even more.
Guang Xiu looked at Mo'er. Although she tried her best to hide her thoughts, the two of them had been together for so long, so how could she hide them so thoroughly.
Mo'er smiled lightly and replied: "A down-and-out prince cannot give me the life I want. But there will be a big storm in Shandong right now."
"Yes, where is the Buddha Mother?"
Guang Xiu didn't bother with Zhu Youxuan any more, so he asked, looking towards the room inside.
Mo'er shook her head slightly and said with some worry: "I said I would arrive in Rencheng yesterday, but I haven't come yet. Could it be..."
Guang Xiu waved his hand and said, "That's the Buddha's mother, there won't be any accidents."
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Listening to the rhythmic voice, Guangxiu said quickly: "It's one of our own."
The door opened, and a woman in her forties stood at the door. She had a strong figure and an appearance like an ordinary woman. There was nothing outstanding about her, but her eyes were extremely soft and friendly.
The woman held a baby girl in her arms, and two maids stood behind her.
"Buddha Mother."
After taking him to the hospital, Guang Xiu and Mo'er quickly saluted.
Mother Buddha kindly asked the two of them to stand up, looked down at the sleeping baby girl in the swaddling clothes, and asked, "How is the situation here at the prefect's Yamen?"
Guangxiu quickly informed the Buddha's mother of the information, and then said: "Prefect Zheng has gone to Qufu. I believe that Kong Ne will not accept the appointment from the court to supervise the work."
"Your confidence is unreliable. Although Kong Ne is Yan Shenggong, this title was granted by the Ming court after all. Kong Ne may not be able to resist the imperial court's orders if he wants to."
Mother Buddha instantly figured out the connection and sighed: "Although the new emperor did not use killing methods, he is not easy to deal with."
This time the imperial court mobilized people's power, but it spent a lot of money. Instead of letting the people do corvee for free, they paid a certain wage.
If the people benefit from it, they may not follow the White Lotus Sect to cause trouble.
However, how can the White Lotus Sect develop without causing trouble?
For the great cause of White Lotus and for the coming of Maitreya, Shandong must be in chaos.
“If Kongne obeys the court, then aren’t we subject to others?”
Guangxiu asked worriedly.
The teaching power of the Confucian family and its prestige among the people cannot be underestimated. Although the White Lotus Sect has some foundations, the Confucian family has a stronger foundation in Qilu. If they guide the people, the White Lotus cultists will definitely not be able to operate smoothly.
The baby girl in Mother Buddha's arms suddenly cried loudly.
The Mother Buddha couldn't help but hum a tune and slowly rocked the baby girl until the baby girl's cries faded, then she said: "If Yan Shenggong refused the imperial appointment and resisted the imperial court to save the people of Shandong from suffering, he was not tolerated by the imperial court. , was executed by secret order. How will the people of Shandong view the imperial court?"
Guang Xiu and Mo'er looked at the Buddha Mother in surprise. This method was a bit harsh.
After all, Duke Yansheng is Duke Yan. If he dies to protect the people against the imperial court, the imperial court's prestige in the hearts of the people will be greatly reduced, and the people will even stand on the opposite side of the imperial court!
This is an excellent opportunity for the White Lotus Sect.
However, once the killing of Duke Yan is revealed, the White Lotus Sect will surely lose its foundation and will no longer have a foothold in Shandong!
Mo'er said worriedly: "Buddha Mother, this matter is extremely risky and the gains and losses are difficult to calculate. We need to consider it carefully."
The Buddha Mother nodded and said: "It does require careful planning, but no matter what, no one can stop White Lotus from spreading all over Shandong."
Guangxiu took a deep look at the Buddha Mother and knew that this person seemed to be charitable, but in fact was ruthless. Since she proposed to kill Yan Shenggong, it was very likely that Kun Ne would not survive this year.
The White Lotus Sect goes straight to the goal and never cares about the cruelty of the means. Everything that is dirty, dirty, and bloody will be redeemed by Maitreya's Buddha's light.
"Buddha Mother, let's see how Yanshenggong Mansion decides."
Mo'er said softly.
Guangxiu also advised him from the side, then looked at the Buddha's mother's arms and asked, "Who is this baby?"
With a gentle smile on her face, Mother Buddha said: "This baby girl is extraordinary. She is a seedling I found in Putai County. When she was born, the sunset was thousands of miles away, and the golden light suddenly appeared."
"Are you related to Buddha? What's your name?"
Mo'er looked at the baby girl and asked happily.
Mother Buddha said softly: "Tang Sai'er, this is her name."
"Tang Sai'er? Sai Bodhisattva?"
Guangxiu reached out and touched the baby girl's face and asked.
The Buddha's mother took Guangxiu's hand away and said: "Tang Sai'er will be my direct disciple. In the future, the real Buddha will appear in this world, and it is very likely that she will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who is here. Ah, I'm crying again. This must be because I'm hungry, Mo'er. , go find a wet nurse..."
Mo'er agreed and left the courtyard.
When Guang Xiu saw Mo'er leaving, he followed the Buddha's mother silently.
Sure enough, the Buddha's mother handed the baby girl to the maid, and then said to Guangxiu: "Some things should not be revealed too much to avoid accidents. When the court dreds the river, there will be corrupt officials who prey on the people. This is to accumulate public resentment. , an excellent opportunity to develop Bailian. At present, the Ming Dynasty is powerful, and Henan Bailian has suffered another heavy blow, which makes everyone panic and cannot cause chaos in Shandong in a short time."
"So we need to accumulate strength, let the court mobilize the people first, and let things ferment until they are out of control and the people's hearts turn, and then we will rise up. During this period, if Yan Shenggong is an enemy of Bai Lian, then send him to hell. . At this time, the most important thing is kindness."
Guang Xiu nodded heavily and said, "I understand, but how long do we need to hibernate?"
The Buddha thought for a moment and said: "Wait for instructions. I won't be able to stay here for long. I need to rush to Shaanxi immediately to meet with the King of Heaven. He seems to be preparing to make big moves. If things can be coordinated, it may not be impossible to achieve great things."
"King of Heaven?"
Guangxiu's expression changed slightly.
The reputation of the Heavenly King can be described as "a household name" among the White Lotus believers.
In the 30th year of Hongwu's reign, Wang Jingangnu, Tian Jiucheng and Gao Fuxing from Mian County, Shaanxi launched the White Lotus Uprising. Wang Jingangnu was called the "King of Heaven", Tian Jiucheng was called the "Emperor of the Han and Ming Dynasties", and Gao Fuxing was called "Maitreya Buddha".
This group of people was very powerful. They defeated the Ming army at Yangping Pass and captured Lueyang, Shaanxi, Huixian, Wenxian, Gansu and other places. They occupied dangerous strategic points in Sichuan and Shaanxi and were quite powerful.
Later, the Ming court sent Changxing Hou Geng Bingwen to attack. Tian Jiucheng and Gao Fuxing died in the battle, but the "King of Heaven" Wang Jingangnu was still alive and led the rest of the people to persist in the struggle and resist the Ming court.
Fast forward three years, and Wang Jingangnu's White Lotus power has not only not been weakened, but has become stronger. If we can unite with this White Lotus sect and advance from east to west, then most of the mountains and rivers in the north will fall into the hands of White Lotus!
