The Mysterious Ming Dynasty: The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom

"This young brat dares to defy the world and commit such a rebellious and chaotic act. Isn't he afraid of causing chaos and suffering to the people?"

This is no mere source of trouble, but a demon king of chaos.

Heaven is truly blind.

My glorious Ming Dynasty is about to be destroyed by this man!

The treacherous minister has already revealed himself; are you all still going to stand idly by?

Qian Qianyi's face was covered in tears, and every word he uttered was filled with anguish.

At the Duke of Wei's residence, Xu Yunjue took the main seat, while his younger brother Xu Wenjue, Marquis of Lingbi Tang Guozuo, Marquis of Linhuai Li Hongji, Earl of Xincheng Zhao Zhilong, Earl of Chengyi Liu Kongzhao, and Earl of Xinjian Wang Yetai watched from the sidelines.

The group exchanged glances discreetly.

Xu Yunjue quickly interrupted, "So, according to Mr. Qian's wishes?"

Qian Qianyi waved his hand dismissively, "Naturally, we should gather heroes from all over the land to launch a righteous attack!"

"Good, well said. We absolutely cannot tolerate this traitor causing trouble." Xu Wenjue clapped his hands and laughed. "Let's leave this matter to Mr. Qian."

What do you all think?

"Indeed, I'm sure Mr. Qian will handle it perfectly."

"I'll make that bastard pay."

"Get him!"

"Very well." Qian Qianyi cupped his hands in greeting. "With the strong support of the young master and all the marquises, how could we possibly fail?"

After several rounds of drinks, Qian Qianyi finally left, tipsy.

Xu Wenjue watched him leave and couldn't help but sneer, "Does he think he can get things done just by sitting at home and saying a few nice words? Even if he's the leader of the Fushe Society and the top poet, he wouldn't be so absurd."

Liu Kongzhao, the Earl of Chengyi, did not take it seriously.

"Is it possible that this is what he actually thinks?"

"They've only achieved their titles by flattering each other, and they really think it's all their own merit."

This was the kind of character of the scholar-officials of the Ming Dynasty.

They talk a good game but never put it into practice, even in spiritual cultivation.

Only her clever tongue could utter such eloquence.

There are an extraordinary number of talented people in Jiangnan, even more than in history, yet none of them possess the talent to be remembered for eternity.

There's only one reason: they're all fake.

Not only did they flatter each other, but they also all had the bad habit of having romantic affairs, as if being romantic meant being entangled with prostitutes.

The collapse of the traditional social order and the flourishing of diverse schools of thought were inevitable occurrences during this era, which was at a crucial turning point in history.

Xu Yunjue pointed at the map.

"The Marquis of Chengyi, the restoration of the social order is yours."

Xinchengbo contacted the Chen family of Haining and asked them to muddy the waters.

After a face-to-face meeting with the Lin family of Fujian and Guangdong, the astrologer pointed out the way forward for us, and the worship of the Heavenly Princess of Universal Salvation could begin.

Marquis of Lingbi and Marquis of Linhuai, the Lu family on Luzon Island, reach an agreement as soon as possible. We must continue our migration to Tanggu, passing through Sumatra and Cangmingzong, and ask them to open the road.

Does anyone still have questions?

Xu Yunjue looked around.

Earl of Chengyi, Liu Kongzhao, cupped his hands and said, "Young Master, the Fushe Society has sent a letter. The missionaries are willing to pay ten million taels of silver to rename the True Record of the Catholic Church as the Bible and print it."

Xu Yunjue sneered.

"No. What ability do they have that they dare to claim to be saints? What magical power do they have that they dare to claim to be scriptures? They are really pushing their luck."

Temples dedicated to Puji Tianfei were erected in various places. Puji had practiced medicine for many years, all for this day, waiting for the world to change so that she could become the Heavenly Empress.

From the goddess of Meizhou to the wise and intelligent woman, the wise and intelligent concubine, the righteous and responsive heavenly concubine who protects the country, and then to the heavenly concubine who protects the country and blesses the people with wondrous spirituality and responsiveness, and who is universally benevolent and saves all people during the Jiajing reign.

We've come this far step by step.

She was only one step away from becoming the supreme deity of the Heavenly Empress of Universal Salvation.

We will never fail.

The path of the Heavenly Princess of Universal Salvation is progressing very steadily, which is the common aspiration of the entire South.

The sea is truly ruthless.

Without the protection of the Heavenly Consort, all power and wealth would be nothing but a mirage.

The divine position of the Heavenly Consort is precisely to match Heaven with virtue, demonstrating her merits in saving the world.

Xu Yunjue waved his hand and continued, "Si Chen uses the 'Gongyang Commentary on the Spring and Autumn Annals,' 'The Book of Peace and National Rejuvenation,' 'The Song of the Origin of the Way to Save the World,' and the art of the wooden ox and flowing horse to bewitch people with these heretical doctrines."

The common people are ignorant and foolish, and are harmed by petty gains.

Are we not good enough?

Ask Lin to produce the "Taishang Laojun's Explanation of the Miraculous Efficacy of the Heavenly Consort Saving from Suffering".

We want to make sure everyone in all the southern prefectures and counties has a copy.

Wang Yetai, the newly appointed Earl, opened his mouth as if to speak.

You're not even as good as them; at least they actually brought it out.

You guys are something else, you can't even spare this little bit of effort.

They kept trying to get the Lin family to contribute money and effort, and even donate their family's entire fortune.

But how could the Lin family not be tempted by the divine tablet of the Heavenly Consort Puji?

Then he thought again, how could he, as a Confucian scholar and a member of a family with a long tradition of studying the classics, betray his own origins? How could he allow the legacy of his ancestors to be ruined in his hands?

Ugh, I'm so damn damn bad.

She was almost bewitched by Si Chen as well.

How could Si Chen be so wicked?

Wang Yetai, the Earl of Xinjian, stood up angrily, "Well said!"

"I completely agree!"

"good!"

Everyone felt full of energy. Apart from Fujian and Guangdong, which belonged to the Lin family, the Tianfei Temples in other prefectures and counties were naturally under their control.

This is a wealth that will last for generations to come.

The Lin family has stood strong through multiple dynastic changes.

Catholicism was thus spectacularly abandoned by them.

The nobles dispersed as soon as they left.

Liu Kongzhao, known as the Earl of Chengyi, sought out Hou Fangyu and Fang Yizhi, two prominent figures from the Fushe Society.

Hou Fangyu and Fang Yizhi were the four young masters of the Fushe Society.

Hou Fangyu was the mastermind behind the flooding of the Yuyuan rebels in Shandong.

Liu Kongzhao, originally from a collateral branch of the family, drowned his uncle's entire family and imprisoned and starved his own grandmother to death in order to seize the title. In the third year of the Tianqi reign, the Donglin faction jointly elected him to inherit the title.

The two sides have long been in contact, and their relationship is quite close.

Hou Fangyu asked, "Lord, what exactly are the young master's plans?"

Marquis Chengyi Liu Kongzhao said, "Young Master means that Zuo Liangyu has been stationed in Wuchang for a long time, and it's time to make a move."

Zuo Liangyu was a general trained by Hou Xun, the father of Hou Fangyu, a famous member of the Fushe Society, and Fang Yizhi was also a guest of honor.

The two men exchanged a glance. "Zuo Liangyu wields military power to strengthen himself. I fear that we two are of little influence and lack the strength to act."

Liu Kongzhao stood up and laughed, "Really? If that's the case, then we'll have to cut off his food supply. At least a dog knows not to bare its teeth at its master."

Do you know what great things Si Chen did in the north that enraged the young master so much?

"When the Duke comes to punish you, don't blame me for not warning you."

After saying this, Liu Kongzhao turned and left.

Hou Fangyu saw him off to the door, saying, "My lord, please allow me to reconsider."

Fang Yizhi quickly asked, "How is it?"

"Don't rush." ​​Hou Fangyu sent someone to bring news from the north.

After reading it, the two were somewhat moved, but then slowly shook their heads.

"No wonder Si Chen dared to act so recklessly."

But then, the Duke suddenly dumped all the affairs into the hands of the Young Duke.

The young master will surely make a move next.

But these things, one after another, are all acts of benevolence towards the world. Is this something that Si Chen can do?

He's not qualified.

This isn't just spanking us; it's slapping the Duke in the face!

Fang Yizhi pressed further, "What should we do?"

"Zuo Liangyu's military supervisor was Huang Shu. Contact him and get him to do some work."

"That's right, if we can't defeat Li Zicheng, can't we at least defeat Zhang Xianzhong?"

"We need to go with great fanfare."

"You first contact Shi Kefa, the Minister of War in Nanjing. I will contact Qian Qianyi, Qian Longxi, and Qian Xiangda of the Qian family. The Qian family has many branches, and we can't do anything without their support."

"There is also Wen Zhenheng of the Wen family of Changzhou, and Chen Mingxia of the Chen family of Haining."

"That's enough. I refuse to believe that a mere peasant can turn the world upside down."

The two devised a strategy and set off immediately to contact prominent figures in Jiangnan, with the Fushe Society at its core, as these people loved networking.

He called upon his friends and fellow disciples, as well as relatives and old friends.

Qian Qianyi, with his family name and status as a leader of the Jiangnan poetry circle, was once again thrust into the limelight.
