Chapter 53: Fifteen years in a hurry (on the list, thank you)

After all forces made a bet, the situation in the world entered a stage of rapid evolution.

In the fifteenth year of Yonghe, Emperor Dagan died, and the three-year-old crown prince succeeded to the throne and changed the reign of Yong'an. Gao He, Ren Tongming, Liu Guo, and Zhao Yunjin were appointed as the ministers of the regent, and the empress dowager ruled behind the curtain.

Party struggles are getting worse and worse, and chaos is gradually arising in the world.

...

In the first year of Yong'an, the world was drought, and the land was barren for thousands of miles, and the people were completely destroyed. The people "changed their sons to eat, and separated their bodies to cook". The land of Longxing in Guanzhong and the important towns in the capital also showed signs of unstableness.

In August, refugee Chen Yongqing initiated a case in Guanzhong, claiming to be the "King of Dashun", shouting slogans such as "Waiting for the noble and humble, being rich and poor", "Striking the unjust and punishing violent kids", gathering refugees and going to two palaces in a row. Everywhere they go, they kill large households and open warehouses to provide relief to the victims. The number of followers is crowded, and the earthquake in Guanzhong is afraid.

In September, Chen Yongqing won consecutive battles, defeated the imperial army, and once reached the outskirts of Chang'an.

People in Chang'an City were in panic. The Empress Dowager and the Young Emperor cried to worship Taimiao, and issued three self-criticisms in a row. At the same time, they called on all armies in the world to raise troops to support the king. This was the beginning of chaos in the world.

Guanzhong fought for two years and took a lot of money to suppress Chen Yongqing. At this time, Guanzhong was already in ruins and nine out of ten rooms were empty.

The power of the imperial court is declining, and the separatist signs of princes in various places are becoming more and more intense...

...

Wuzhou.

In the second year of Yong'an, Wu Qi was appointed as the Wuzhou General Strategy and Pacification Envoy and transferred to Jianye. This is the highest military chief position in a prefecture, governing the military and civilians.

Wu Qi disobeyed his orders on the grounds that "there are no longer clear, and he is afraid of disasters" and "the virtues are shallow and he cannot bear the great responsibility."

In May, he fought with the state soldiers on the border of Linjiang Prefecture. After a small victory, Wu Qi wrote a letter to apologize. The court took back the previous appointment and changed to a fine of half a year.

Wu Qi "private tribute and recruit soldiers" in Linjiang Prefecture, and "civil and military generals and officials were appointed without authorization", and gradually became full of wings and majesty.

In the third year of Yong'an, he led General Fubo himself, which was the fourth-rank military general of the court. He opened a government office and formally divided the Lin'an Prefecture and became a prince.

Influenced by it, all parts of Wuzhou were ready to move, and the imperial court and governors gradually lost control of Wuzhou.

...

It has been ten years since Yong'an.

Anchang County, in the Chenghuang Temple.

After more than ten years of polishing, the City God Temple has washed away the youthfulness of its first construction, and has a profound sense of historical precipitation, forming a unique charm that surrounds the hall.

The place is still full of incense. Believers and pilgrims are bustling with worship, and cigarettes are surrounded by.

The temple has many wishes and greets believers, and everything is almost the same as before. However, when the pilgrims burn incense, there was an additional prayer scripture.

"......... inherit the will of heaven, serve as the City God... to safeguard the country, consolidate the golden soup... to hold the responsibility of the Mingyang, and to carry out the trade-offs of rewards and punishments."

"The Gods's insight is like watching the fire... the people are beloved..."

This is the scripture produced by Fang Ming and a group of civil officials under his jurisdiction.

Fang Ming knew very well that no matter what kind of God, there was always a set of doctrines. No matter whether it was true or false, as long as it could be justified, someone would believe it. Then it could be promoted and formed a foundation of dominance in faith.

In the past, I was busy spreading my faith and didn't care about this.

Now that there is time, we will naturally make up for it. Generally speaking, it is still advocating that the City God will respond to the destiny of heaven and blessing all people. This is to establish the legitimacy of the divine power and correct the status. Then it is promoted that as long as you are pious in your lifetime, you can achieve your wish and you will have good fortune after death. A little more warning to punish evil and promote good is the entire content of the "City God Sutra".

Now it seems that the effect is pretty good.

Fang Ming looked at the believers praying devoutly below and thoughts arose.

Today, Anchang County has no evil spirits, and the four great masters have opened 10,000 mu of fertile land, and their strength has increased greatly. When the other gentry saw the benefits, they followed up and reclaimed wasteland. For a time, the houses were like fertile land, and more than 10,000 living people were alive.

In addition to natural disasters, refugees came here to be tenants. Today, Anchang County has 6,000 households and about 30,000 people, which can be called a wealthy small county.

The City God’s belief, after more than ten years of experience and subtle influence, has penetrated into the lives of the people. With Fang Ming’s vigorous publicity, it basically lets the people know that the City God is closely related to its food, clothing, housing, transportation, birth, old age, sickness and death, and is closely connected and cannot be deviated. It can be said that the belief has been completely consolidated.

It is reflected in luck, that is, the legal net is spread all over the county, red and the white energy is almost gone. It is more rigorous and vast than the laws of the government.

The county magistrate had been changed for several years, and Fang Ming had been paying attention to his position and did not extend his hand to the government. Both sides were still restrained. In addition, the world was in chaos and the government was not in line with the government. Sometimes the county magistrate was re-elected for several terms, and sometimes he did not have appointments for several years. The provincial government could not control these trivial matters for the time being, so he could only let it go.

Fang Ming calmed down his spirit, but saw that the red energy on his head gathered, accounting for most of the golden seal. The surrounding blue gold color was wrapped, which was the merit of humanity and the merit of heaven.

Fang Ming has been committed to combating evil spirits over the years; in addition, although the reincarnation cost has increased to 100 incense, it has accumulated a lot over the past decade, so it has reached this scale.

The most obvious purpose is that the pure red life energy in the center of the fortune has turned into a golden color at this time. This is the result of the continuous change of humanitarian merits over the past fifteen years.

However, the next progress almost stopped. Fang Ming knew that this was because of the insufficient level of human merit. After all, the green energy was precious and not an ordinary thing. If human merits wanted to change their natal destiny to blue, it would be half the result with twice the result, and it would not be a hundred years. Fang Ming was reluctant to give up directly using the merits of the heavenly merits and could only slowly solve them.

However, even now, Fang Ming's natal is enough to support the beliefs of one or several governments. With the insights over the past fifteen years, as long as the scope of faith is expanded and incense is increased, it can be quickly improved. There is no bottleneck until the fifth-grade god position.

Unfortunately, due to the blockade of Baiyun Temple, Fang Ming deliberately kept his strength and stayed in a low position and has been dormant until now. Although the faith of the City God has spread some in neighboring counties, it is not a grand grandeur. There are few believers and cannot support Fang Ming's promotion.

At this time, a minor official came forward to report: "Lord, Zhou Si is looking for a meeting!"

Fang Ming came to his senses and had collected a lot of talents over the years. Wang Deng was released and served as the village land god. However, Zhou Si has been staying by his side and often participated in confidential work. He was sent to do business before, but it must have been a result.

He said, "Biography!" The clerk took the order out.

Not long after, Zhou Si came in and saw Li first, and then said: "Report to the lord that after many inquiries from subordinates and family, there was no movement in Baiyun Temple. Both real people were in charge of the temple, and even many true disciples took them back, which was a sign of peace."

"What a calm image!" Fang Ming's expression was faint, and there was no sign of joy or anger, but it made Zhou Si feel a little cold sweat.

"I understand, you go down!" Fang Ming pondered after waving his hand and letting Zhou Si retreat.

Although the dragon energy has spirit and can protect its master on its own, it is very beneficial to find the hidden dragon in advance, even if it cannot take action, it can be arranged first. Fang Ming has been inquiring from many parties and paying special attention to the news about Baiyun Temple.

Unfortunately, since more than ten years ago, Baiyun Temple has shrunk its strength and looks like it is escaping from the world.

"Well, I've been inquiring from many sources, but I've found nothing. At least, I know that Qianlong comes from Wu Nan."

"There are five prefectures in Wu Nan, among which the three prefectures of Linjiang, Wenchang and Xin'an are formed into horns, with a dangerous position and relatively wealthy. The other two prefectures are located in remote areas, sparsely populated, and there are mountain and off-road people who are in chaos, so they are not in a climate. They should not be the place where Qianlong was born."

"Only when Qianlong is launched in Linjiang, Wenchang and Xin'an, can Qianlong take root and be full of wings. This is also in line with the general trend of Qianlong. After all, Wu Qi and I are here to be the pioneers of the king."

"Baiyun Temple is hidden tightly. Eighty-mostly, I sent a secret agent to come out for activities. The situation is unfavorable, and the gecko may be cut off, so it is a good decision."

"But it won't be hidden for long. In just a few years, those who can quickly secede a mansion must be Qianlong!"

When Fang Ming thought of Baiyun Temple, he sneered.

He recruited soldiers and also received a lot of talents. Among them, there was Bai Yunguan's secret weapon. Unfortunately, under his supernatural powers, he could see it at a glance.

Fang Ming did not have an attack and secretly monitored it. He would not have known anything, but not at all leaked out. He just waited to release some fake news when necessary and tricked Baiyunguan.

Thinking of this, a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of Fang Ming's mouth.

I stood up and walked to a lotus pond. There was a pavilion in the center. It was built very large. The lotus flowers in the pond were in full bloom, with a pleasant fragrance, and there were also bursts of orchestral sounds of silk and bamboo.

As soon as he arrived, a beautiful woman came out. She was beautiful and had picturesque eyebrows and eyes, and her hair was soft and boneless. She said, "The master is here, I am rehearsing singing and dancing!" The voice was crisp and glutinous, making people indulge in it.

"In this way, I'm about to look at it!" Fang Ming said with a smile, squinted his eyes, leisurely and calm.

"Please move!" The beauty welcomed Fang Ming into the pavilion and ordered him. Soon he set up a seat and arranged fine wine and side dishes, all of which were exquisite and elegant, which showed his intention.

Fang Ming smiled and sat up. The beauty stepped forward to serve with her diligently, picked up food and wine, and sent orders to start singing and dancing.

More than a dozen dancers were all in their youth, wearing barefoots and wearing tulle, dancing to the music.

The dance posture is light and agile, the body is as light as a swallow, the beautiful eyes are flowing, the long sleeves are relaxed, like the butterflies flying among the flowers, and like the round dew on the tips of lotus leaves. The indescribable charm makes people intoxicated.

Singing and dancing, with bright lights and wine, Fang Ming laughed loudly, looked very cheerful, half-held the beauty, drank the wine in his glass...

This woman is named Manyun, and she is Fang Ming's newly acquired concubine.

In ancient times, it was indeed no benefit for the lord to not marry a wife for a long time, and there were rumors.

Fang Ming had never particularly liked it, so he took a few beautiful concubines to stop the population from being a little bit relieved.

Anyway, he is a god and has a noble status, so even if he takes a few concubines, it is reasonable.

It has to be said that in ancient times, the master could even deal with the concubines at will, even if he was beaten to death, the government would not care. Therefore, he was extremely attentive to serve, and the other party did not dare to disobey the requests, so he allowed him to enjoy the blessings of ancient times.

Of course, marrying these concubines is to calm the hearts of subordinates, and to relieve loneliness. The most important thing is to make an illusion, making Bai Yunguan think that Fang Ming is addicted to wine and sex and ignores political affairs.

Anyway, no matter what, Fang Ming will not suffer any loss.
