After talking about summoning the leaders of various Mongolian tribes to Ningxia next year to discuss the division of grasslands, Yun Xi completely put the matter down.

Arutai, Guili Chi and Tuhuan left Lanzhou as fast as they could as quickly as they could on fire, and Yun Xi was relieved to take Miaojin and Yunzhi across the river to play around Baita Mountain. Baita Mountain is also a relatively famous scenic spot in Lanzhou, and it is natural to have a visit when you come to Lanzhou.

After playing Baita Mountain, Yunxi left Lanzhou and set off to return east. At this time, it was only a little more than a month away from the lunar month, although it was not particularly anxious, but the time was not particularly relaxed, Yun Xi rushed to Xi'an by railroad, and explained to Lan Zhen in Xi'an, and played in the city for a few days, and then took the boat to continue to return.

Six or seven hundred miles to the east from Xi'an is Tongguan, after Tongguan to the boundary of Henan Province, and then continue to travel, just pass through Shaanzhou, Mianchi, Luoyang, Yanshi and other places. However, Yun Xi did not stop at these places and continued to the east.

On November 18, Yunxi came to Kaifeng City. This place Yunxi had to stop for a few days. Kaifeng is the fief of Zhu Hu, the king of Zhou, when he went to the northwest because of the military emergency, he did not stay, and now it is not good to return and not stay for a few days. Moreover, Kaifeng and Xi'an in general, is also a city with a long history, even now there are many landscapes in the city, such as the Iron Tower, Xiangguo Temple, Bao Gong Temple, Yanqing Temple, Yuwangtai, Fan Tower, etc., are worth seeing. Of course, Yi Yunxi will stay in Kaifeng for a few days.

Of course, Zhu Hu was prepared for Yun Xi's stay in Kaifeng, and inquired a few days in advance when Yun Xi would pass, and put on his own pro-dynasty clothes early in the morning of the 18th, and his sons also put on county court clothes and waited at the dock.

Yun Xi got off the boat, had a few words of greeting with Zhu Hu and Zhu You, the prince of Zhou, and talked for a while when he arrived at the palace, and then went to the courtyard where Zhu Hu arranged for him to live temporarily.

At this time, Miaojin was arranging for his subordinates to settle the house, and when he saw Yunxi walking in, he hurriedly saluted and said, "The concubine has seen her husband." ”

"The servant has seen Your Majesty." The palace ladies also saluted.

"Get up." Yun Xi walked up to Miaojin and asked with a smile, "Are they all settled?" ”

"Husband, the residence of the concubine and the husband, the residence of the fourth sister has been settled, and the residence of the people is also being settled, it is nothing more than one less person living in this room and one more person living in that room." Miaojin replied.

After a few words between the husband and wife, Miaojin hesitated for a moment and said, "Husband, the concubine feels that when she came to Kaifeng this time, His Royal Highness King Zhou's arrangement was a little unusual. ”

"What's wrong?"

"Husband, the concubine thinks His Royal Highness King Zhou is too enthusiastic." Miao Jin frowned and said: "His Royal Highness King Su of Ganzhou has not made such an arrangement, and the concubine has also been to the original Yan Wangfu and the Daiwang Mansion in the capital when she was outside the palace, but she has never entertained the family like this. ”

"Husband, if you are courteous to others, you must ask for something. It's just that His Royal Highness King Zhou will have something to ask for his husband? ”

"The husband also noticed that the fifth uncle's hospitality today was a little too courteous. But it's nothing," Yun Xi sat down and said, "Fifth Uncle has always been cautious and will not make any unwarranted requests, and you don't have to knock on the side when you talk with your fifth aunt and younger siblings." ”

Miaojin nodded, didn't say anything about it, and mentioned another thing: "Husband, the acting princess is the second sister of the concubine, but the acting king was crowned to the Gurbantunggut Basin, and after the royal palace moved to Beswan Bali City in the next few years, it is more distant from Beshi Bali City to the capital, and it is more difficult for the concubine to see her second sister, so I ask my husband to allow the acting princess to enter Beijing this year and reunite with the concubine." ”

Of course the husband allowed it. Xiao Lu, tell Chen Ji about this and let him draw up his will. Little Lu? Yun Xi screamed and didn't hear the answer, turned his head to look behind him, and shouted again.

Miao Jin also raised his head to look behind Yun Xi, and saw Lu Yizheng, who was called Xiao Lu, standing at the door talking with a man who looked like a soldier, and also took a few documents from the man's hand.

After the man handed the paperwork to Lu Yi, he stepped back, Lu Yi turned his head and saw Yun Xi looking at him, paused for a moment, and then said, "Your Majesty, this is the memorabilia sent today." ”

"At this time, I will send the music fold, but what's the big deal?" Yoon-hee asked. Under normal circumstances, because he is on patrol, the recitals that are delivered to him every day have a fixed time, and they will not be sent at this time.

"Your Majesty, there are three major events. First, there is a White Lotus Sect in Zhending Mansion to make trouble! ”

"There is a White Lotus Sect in Zhending Mansion to make trouble!" Yun Xi and Miao Jin exclaimed at the same time. Yun Xi also immediately took the fold from his hand.

"Cui Chengfa, a farmer in Ningjin County, Zhending Prefecture, is actually the owner of the White Lotus Sect, and I heard that His Majesty mobilized a large army to go to the northwest to fight with Samarkand, and spread rumors among the people, saying that Samarkand believes in the White Lotus Sect, which is their reinforcement, and spread rumors that the Ming Dynasty will be defeated, bewitching the people, and trying to rebel."

"But fortunately, there are people who mistakenly entered the White Lotus Sect and are loyal to the monarch and Mingyi, and they reported it to the county government before the rebels started. The county government immediately reported the matter to the government office, the political envoy department, and the inspection envoy department. Because it is reported that the White Lotus Sect is very widely connected, the ministers did not dare to act rashly, and after gathering seven guard posts, they went to Zhending Mansion to clear up, and captured seven leaders of the White Lotus rebels in the nine counties of Zhending Mansion and Baoding Prefecture, killed 11 people, killed 798 ordinary rebel bandits, captured 124 people, and found out several gentry who were involved in the White Lotus Sect. It was written.

"Could it be that after the White Lotus disciples Tian Jiucheng and Wang Jingangnu in Shaanxi rebelled, the rest of the troops ran to Hebei?" Yun Xi said after reading the recital.

However, since the possible rebellion has been extinguished, this matter is not too important, Yun Xi instructed: "Order the political envoy department and the inspection envoy department to seriously investigate and deal with it, and the White Lotus Sect will definitely be captured; The political envoy Ru Yu made meritorious service in suppressing the rebels of the White Lotus Sect, gave him a loose rank, recorded his merits once, and was evaluated first; The rest of the meritorious ministers were rewarded by the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Justice. The prefects of Zhending and Baoding and the prefects of each county ......"

"Why can't this White Lotus Sect be completely eradicated." Miao Jin complained: "Since the early years of Hongwu, the imperial court has banned the White Lotus Sect, and it has also suppressed the White Lotus Sect's rebellion several times, but it is still endless. ”

"There are too many ignorant people and women in the countryside, and the White Lotus Sect is good at demagoguery of the world, and there are all kinds of disguises, every time they are exterminated, as long as one person escapes, they can make a comeback, and it is not easy to eradicate it." Don't say that in this era, even in later generations, counseling is so developed, there are still people who are deceived into cults. It's just that the leaders of the cult at that time knew that it was impossible to overthrow the government, so they focused their efforts on cheating money.

This is also the reason why the husband quietly changed the religious regulations set by the emperor's grandfather back then. The people in the countryside are so ignorant that they have to have a belief, and the emperor's grandfather has too many restrictions on decent Buddhism, and he does not allow them to go to the countryside to preach in his spare time, so he gives the cult a chance. It is to encourage the spread of decent Buddhism in the countryside, compress the living space of cults, and stabilize the Ming Dynasty. Yun Xi said again.

Miaojin nodded again, and was about to say something, when she suddenly heard someone say: "Brother Huang, sister-in-law, what are you talking about?" ”

"It's nothing, there is a rebellion of the White Lotus Sect in Hebei, but it has been suppressed. Officials in Hebei are interrogating. Yun Xi replied.

"The White Lotus Sect can't be destroyed, if my sister encounters it, I will definitely eradicate them."

……

……

Shandong, Binzhou.

"Big brother, there is already a quasi-letter. Cui Chengfa was killed by the Ming army, and his wife committed suicide; The incense lords of eight counties, including Zhaozhou and Yuanshi, also died. A few minions were caught, but they didn't know who the person above them was, and they couldn't confess anything. ”

"The incense people below have suffered heavy casualties, but fortunately, the people we sent over are safe and sound, and they are trying to run back." Li Er, who was tall and strong, said to Peng Ju, the altar master of the Shandong White Lotus Sect.

"I said it wouldn't work out." Peng Ju turned his head, his expression was very unsightly, and he slammed his fist on the table: "The place where the Ming Kingdom fought with Samarkand is far away in the Western Regions, more than 10,000 miles away from the Central Plains, even if the Ming Kingdom loses the battle in the Western Regions, it will not affect the rule in the Central Plains." They have to listen, they have to prepare for an uprising, now it's good, although only nine counties have been damaged, but these nine counties are the nine counties with the most influence in Hebei, Hebei's forces have lost more than half, if other people are implicated, the loss will be even greater! Cui Chengfa and they are innocent of death, I just pity the incense people who died in vain. ”

"Big brother, doesn't everyone think that Ming Guo has mobilized so many soldiers and horses, and do you think that if Ming Guo loses this battle, it will have a great impact? None of them had personally led troops to fight, and they had no idea how far away the Western Regions were. Li Ergan said with a smile. In fact, he also supported Cui Chengfa and others in the uprising at that time, but it was only because the chief altar owner on the Shandong side was Peng Ju, and Peng Ju resolutely disagreed, so he had the idea of starting an incident in Shandong, but he also sent some of his own men to Hebei to support.

"So don't practice martial arts in ordinary times, and don't just read the Four Books and Five Classics to learn literature! Are the Four Books and the Five Classics useful? Of course it works, but it's only useful for those who are willing to be officials, what do we rebels do when they read that! If you have time, read more military books, and there are also people who fought in the late Yuan Dynasty in our church, so please ask them more! Peng Ju said again. Li Er could only listen.

After Peng Ju finished his lesson, he asked, "How can the people we sent over come back?" ”

"Big brother, the people we sent over all went to Gaoyi County, and now Ningjin County in the east is completely blocked by the Ming army, and no one is allowed to pass by, so they can only go around from the south. Because our Binzhou is close to the Daqing River, in order to facilitate them, they plan to go around to the Daimyo's Mansion and come back by boat. ”

"No, the whole of Hebei is now strictly investigated, and you can't get on the ship in the Daimyo's Mansion. Let them go to the south, go to Kaifeng Mansion to take a boat to Xuzhou, and then go north from Xuzhou to come back. It's all about safety. Peng Ju said.

"Yes, big brother, I'll send someone to inform them right away."
