In the third year of Jiajing reign of Emperor Shizong of Ming Dynasty.
clear.
The sunlight outside the window fell in together with the shadows of the trees, sparsely, but it did not affect the light.
Feng Zhou sat steadily at his desk, reading a book carefully.
The name of this book is "Nine Yin Manual", which he personally took out from Wenyuan Pavilion in Jinling three years ago. When compiling "Yongle Dadian", director Yao Guangxiao obtained it from the Quanzhen Sect.
It has a history of more than 100 years, so the book is already a little yellowed, and there are moths in some places.
The walls and floor of the room always have a somewhat dirty feel, which is completely different from the study room with clear windows and the fragrance of flowers all year round in the mind of a Confucian scholar.
But Feng Zhou didn't take it seriously, because he had a more real feeling. Life was probably just that realistic, without so much fragrance of books and ink.
Feng Zhou was very satisfied to have such a comfortable environment when he was studying martial arts scriptures seriously.
Only in a room like this could he have ample time to study three peerless martial arts secret books: "Yi Jin Jing", "Wudang Nine Yang Gong", and "Nine Yin Manual" without being disturbed by others.
The "Yi Jin Jing", "Wudang Nine Yang Gong" and "Nine Yin Manual" have the same origin. They were all placed in Wenyuan Pavilion in Jinling, together with "Yongle Dadian", they were cherished and placed there, but no one
Viewing and reading can only happen as time goes by.
He is currently studying the general outline of the "Nine Yin Manual". You must know that the general outline of the "Nine Yin Manual" is written in Sanskrit transliteration. The author Huang Shang used it to prevent the scripture from falling into the wrong hands.
Means. The general outline of the Nine Yin Manual is extremely profound. It can not only turn the illusions encountered by cultivators into magical powers, but also correct the disadvantage of Taoist martial arts that emphasizes femininity.
In fact, based on his deep research on martial arts, it only took him two years to master the martial arts of these three peerless secret books. In the remaining year, he actually spent most of his time studying Sanskrit from three hundred years ago. Only
Only by understanding the Sanskrit written three hundred years ago can we fully understand the general outline of the Nine Yin Sutra, and then allow our body to enter the realm of divine transformation.
He studied so deeply that he had no time to pay attention to the three people who had been standing outside for half an hour.
"General An's concentration on reading strange books is really admirable."
Finally, a young man outside said loudly, interrupting the silence.
Feng Zhou frowned slightly, sighed slowly, and said, "It's very rude to disturb other people's reading."
"It's true that I'm disturbing you." The young man said calmly, but looking at his expression, he didn't seem to feel sorry at all.
Feng Zhou said slowly: "I am not a general, I am Yue Buming. Before I came in, I was only a member of the Imperial Guards."
"After the death of the late emperor, the general, in order to avoid the disaster of death, played a trick to escape from the golden cicada, and lived in seclusion in the Fusi Prison in Nanzhen for three years. If I hadn't checked the case files, I might not have discovered the truth in it.
secret."
"Oh?" Feng Zhou stood up and glanced at the young man outside the cell.
Yes, he was in a cell at the moment.
This cell is the imperial prison of Fusi in Jinyiweinan Town. It is specially used to detain the members of the guard who have committed crimes. It is also the place where family law is enforced within Jinyiwei.
This cell has a solid building and tight guards. It would be extremely difficult for the people locked inside to escape.
However, it is not easy for people inside to attract the attention of the outside world.
Because of this, Feng Zhou lived there for three years, studied these three martial arts secret books thoroughly, and achieved magical skills.
Only then did he look directly at the young man.
Outside the cell, the young man had a handsome face and was wearing a python robe. Although he felt a little skinny, he looked fresh and energetic and could not hide his noble attitude.
There were four people standing behind him, each of them tall and tall, with their temples bulging high and their bodies standing like javelins. They were obviously very skilled.
The five of them stood there, motionless.
"You are young, but you are wearing a python robe and have no restrictions in entering and leaving Nansi's prison. I believe that you are a martial arts scholar in the third year of Jiajing, and was actually appointed as the deputy of Qianhu in Jinyiwei. Today's milk brother, Lu Binglu Wenming."
As soon as he said this, the five people outside the cell couldn't help but look shocked.
The four guards behind the young man were only slightly shocked, and at the same time they felt a sense of respect for their lord: "You are indeed a talented young man. Even the general Jiang Bin who is hiding in the prison in front of you has also heard of the young lord's name!"
The tremor in the young Lu Bing's heart was extraordinary, and a chill rose behind his back.
He is eighteen years old this year and has just been crowned. Yesterday, he was given the name "civilization" by his family elders, and today he was given the word "civilization" by the former general in prison. How could he not be surprised?
Could it be that he is hiding in the imperial edict but has tentacles all over the capital?
Like a spider entrenched in the center of a web?
"A scholar can know the affairs of the world without going out. Although the general is in a prison cell, he knows everything about the capital. Junior Lu Bing admires him deeply."
After a long time, Lu Bing's expression returned to normal, and he looked at Feng Zhou with eyes full of respect and deep fear.
"A scholar can know the affairs of the world without going out. This is because he comes from a big family and the power of the family is intertwined, so he has an understanding of the general trend of the world. But I am just a criminal in Jinyiwei who spends the rest of his life hiding in a prison cell, not a general who leads an army.
"
Feng Zhou said calmly.
"Haha, since this junior has already come here, he has already determined the identity of the general. Why should the general hide it? You are indeed Yue Buming, a member of the Jinyiwei Baihu family, but Yue Buming is also the commander-in-chief of the border army, the admiral of Dongchang and the Jinyiwei.
General Jiang Bin." Lu Bing said slowly.
"oh?"
Feng Zhou glanced at Lu Bing, shook his head and said: "I am in prison now, but you are in control of the power. The Jinyiwei Qianhu in charge of Nansi, the emperor's milk brother, you can say whatever you want, I have nothing to say.
"
"So, the general can live here with peace of mind. He is happy here and no longer misses Shu?" Lu Bing's face gradually became serious.
"You are right. There is trouble from the outside world. Although the emperor and the civil servants are on the same side, they are in the same camp when facing me. If I go out, I will be wanted by the world. Only here, I am the safest. Therefore.
Why should I go out?"
Feng Zhou spoke in a relaxed tone, as if he really was the empress of the Shu Han Dynasty and settled in Luoyang, but unknowingly, he already regarded himself as the general Jiang Bin.
"The general admitted his identity, but you are full of evil and sinful. The people of the world want to burn your flesh and blood, but you are hiding in Nansi prison. Isn't it a shame for the world?" Lu Bing said lightly.
"Haha, back then I won the battle of Yingzhou with the late emperor, killed more than 30,000 Tatars, beheaded the young prince, and was granted the title of general of the four foreign armies. This stabilized the late emperor's position and suppressed the civil servants. Therefore, the civil servants hated me to the bone.
, After the death of the late emperor, if I had raised troops and marched to the capital, there would be nothing like the right and wrong between the emperor and Yang Tinghe, but I did not resist and just hid here. Do you know why?"
Feng Zhou sat on the chair, his demeanor suddenly changed drastically, like a general sitting in a commanding tent. His awe-inspiring power made Lu Bing and the four guards behind him couldn't help but take a step back.
"The general is so majestic!"
Lu Bing swallowed a mouthful of saliva and spoke with difficulty. At this moment, he felt extremely heavy pressure in his heart.
"hehe."
Feng Zhou smiled faintly and did not continue to speak. He looked at Lu Bing quietly with a pair of tiger eyes, as if waiting for his answer.
He believed that Lu Bing would be able to answer his question with his skills and IQ as he would become San Gong Jia San Gu in the future.
"The general didn't want to lead his troops to Beijing because he didn't want to be like Dong Zhuo, let alone live in ruins; but he didn't want to sit still and wait for death, so he found a substitute and hid here himself. But why didn't the general fly far away and enter the world? When the time comes,
The sky is high and the sea is vast, who can find you?"
"Hahaha! Lu Bing, Lu Bing! I have lived in the imperial prison for three years just for today!" Feng Zhou stood up with a loud smile and walked to the prison door.
Even though he was separated by two layers of arm-thick steel fence, Lu Bing still felt chilly.
He knew the strength of the person opposite him.
It is said that in the battle of Yingzhou, the late emperor Zhengde personally supervised the battle. General Jiang Bin led a small number of elite cavalry to protect themselves with bows and arrows, and attacked with light cavalry, disrupting the enemy's formation. Then the late emperor ordered the army to advance, killing 30,000 enemy troops in one battle, and capturing the Tatars alive.
The Tatar commander, the young prince, surrendered the rest of the Tatar soldiers.
This battle not only completely defeated the powerful enemy in the north, but also completely stabilized the late emperor Zhengde's position in the court, making the civil servants unable to confront the imperial power.
It's a pity that Zhengde was too playful and fell into the water during the southern tour and fell ill, and died soon after. Jiang Bin was also regarded as a sycophant by the government and the public, and was captured and killed.
However, Lu Bing, who had just taken charge of Nanzhen Fusi, discovered the secret while sorting out the archives. He discovered that the general Jiang Bin who was killed was actually the Jinyiwei Baihu Yue Buming.
And that Jin Yiwei Baihu Yue Buming was imprisoned in Nansi Prison three years ago for violating military discipline and has been incarcerated ever since.
But when Lu Bing came to this imperial prison, he discovered that this imperial prison seemed to have him as its core. Even the chief officer in charge of the imperial prison also obeyed him.
Originally, the prison environment was "inaccessible to water and fire, and the prison was full of epidemics and malaria." However, the general's single cell was clean, well-lit, and his daily life was comfortable and comfortable.
Where is this jail? It's clearly a vacation!
How can others be allowed to snore and sleep in the so-called couch? Naturally, Lu Bing did not want the territory he was in charge of to become a plaything in the hands of others. At the same time, considering the safety of the emperor and the stability of the court, he had to deal with this person no matter what.
When he came here this time, there were only five of them outside the cell door, but outside the prison, there were twenty-eight stars of Jin Yiwei, each equipped with strong bows and crossbows, holding embroidered spring knives, and were waiting in full formation.
But when he walked to the door of the cell, he realized that the former general Jiang Bin opposite him was definitely not an easy person to deal with...
