Riots broke out in Jeongju, Jinju, Yiju, and Jingju on the same day. What was different from the usual in this riot was that after occupying the state capitals, they killed officials and robbed the wealthy gentry, and then took out some of the looted food and other goods to relieve the victims. Soon, the rebel forces of this uprising were rapidly expanded.

Zhou Fei got the news and felt that it was not quite right, so he sent his henchmen to lead troops to quell the rebellion, and at the same time sent the news back to Beijing in an expedited manner of 800 miles.

Yan Wushuang also felt that something was wrong when he received the news, and said with a calm face: "If it wasn't agreed in advance, it would be impossible to rebel on the same day. "This riot in four places is obviously organized and planned.

Meng Nian heard the meaning of Yan Wushuang's words: "Your Majesty, the person at the head knows how to distribute the stolen grain, cloth and other items to the victims to buy the hearts of the people, and the matter is more complicated than we thought. "This rebellion is very different from the usual.

Yan Wushuang fell into deep thought, and after a long time, he said to Meng Nian with an ugly expression: "Zhou Fei said in the excerpt that these rebels have a lot of knives and guns and other weapons in their hands, and these weapons are no worse than those in the army. If my guess is correct, this rebellion should have been planned by Han Yuxi. "The reason why the peasant uprising was suppressed so quickly is, firstly, that there is no plan to act on will, and secondly, there is no good weapon. In this case, how to beat the regular army.

Meng Nian thought about it, and immediately had fire in his eyes, and said: "It's really despicable to instigate the people to rebel." ”

Yan Wushuang really didn't expect Han Yuxi to come out like this before: "It's a very good idea to use the rebels to consume our military strength." "With Yunqing's temperament, he would not do such a thing, this idea is 100% Han Yuxi's idea.

In this regard, Yan Wushuang felt that there was nothing to blame, there was no right or wrong in many things, only victory and defeat. If it were him, he would definitely not give up such an opportunity.

Meng Nian's face changed, and he said, "Your Majesty, if this is the case, then Shandong will not be peaceful." ”

If Yuxi heard this, he would definitely scoff, even if there was no her, Hebei and Shandong would never be peaceful. Just before Ye Jiuyang's uprising, there were rebellions in two other places in Hebei, but the scale was relatively small.

Yan Wushuang nodded: "Since Han Yuxi is fighting to consume the strength of our army, Shandong will definitely not be peaceful." ”

Meng Nian said: "Your Majesty, we can't let Han Yuxi's plan succeed. ”

Yan Wushuang didn't answer this, even if he knew Han Yuxi's intentions, he was powerless to stop it: "I will ask Zhou Fei and Lou Qingyun to pay close attention to the movements in the northwest and not give them a chance to support the rebels." "If they don't get food, grass and weapons, this group of rebels won't last long.

Meng Nian hummed and said, "Your Majesty, we still have to inform the world of what Han Yuxi has done." Let the world know how despicable Han Yuxi is. "This woman did everything to achieve her goals. Compared to Yan Wushuang, Yuxi is already very mild.

Yan Wushuang said: "Doing these things in private, Yun Qing and Han Yuxi will definitely deny it. Evidence must be found, and then justifiably crusade against Yunqing and Han Yuxi. ”

Meng Nian said: "This is easy to do, I'll let people check it." If you do it, you will definitely be able to find evidence. "This matter is not secret, even if Han Yuxi wants to hide it, he can't hide it.

Yan Wushuang nodded.

After the day was over, Yan Wushuang went to Zhanghua Palace. Because it was late, Yuchen had already gone to bed.

Looking at Yan Wushuang, who was tired again, Yuchen was very distressed, but he didn't say anything superfluous, it was useless to say.

Hearing Yuchen instruct someone to make him supper, Yan Wushuang said, "Don't bother, bring it if you have something to eat." "Even if something is simple, it takes half an hour to make it.

After a while, Mama Gui brought a bowl of rock sugar bird's nest porridge. This was originally Yuchen's supper, but Yuchen didn't eat it.

After drinking the bird's nest, Yan Wushuang lay on the bed and was massaged by Yuchen. After a while, Yan Wushuang said, "I remember that you used to say that Han Yuxi was very kind, and even ants were reluctant to step on it. ”

Yuchen shook his hand, and then said with a sigh: "Yes." When she was a child, she saw ants walking around, saying that these ants were also life. She can't deprive these ants of their lives. "This is not made up by Yuchen, but it really happened. After Yuxi was reborn, he was in awe of life, and even ants did not dare to step on it.

Yan Wushuang sneered and said, "Power, it can really make a person completely change." ”

Yuchen felt that something was not quite right when he heard this, and asked, "Your Majesty, is something wrong?"

Yan Wushuang hummed and said, "The rebellion in Hebei has killed thousands of people. ”

Yuchen asked, "Does the emperor mean that this rebellion in Hebei was planned by Yuxi?" Seeing Yan Wushuang nodding, Yuchen said, "She is no longer the person I remember." "Today's Han Yuxi is like two people when he was a child.

Yan Wushuang said: "It is estimated that Yunqing will lead troops into the capital in the next year." When he said this, Yan Wushuang's expression was very calm. For him, it doesn't matter if the capital can keep it, and it doesn't matter if it can't be kept.

Yuchen's heart trembled, and said, "Your Majesty, isn't there anything you can do?" Seeing that Yan Wushuang didn't say anything, Yuchen said softly: "Your Majesty, when Yunqing and Han Yuxi sit firmly in the country, they will definitely send troops to attack Liaodong." "Once Liaodong is breached, their mother and son will be in danger of their lives.

Yan Wushuang said with a smile: "What's wrong?"

Yuchen snorted and said, "I'm afraid." After a pause, Yuchen lowered his eyes: "I have suffered a crime in my life, but I have also enjoyed happiness, and there is nothing to regret." It's just that Ah Chi and Ah Bao are still young, and their lives haven't started yet. ”

Yan Wushuang was a little surprised, he didn't expect Han Yuchen to be so frank with him. Laughing, Yan Wushuang said: "Don't worry, even if Liaodong can't hold it in the future, I will keep Ah Bao and Ah Chi." ”

Yuchen said softly: "I believe in the emperor." "If you don't believe it, you have to believe it, because she has no other way.

Yan Wushuang closed his eyes and didn't speak again.

After serving Yan Wushuang to sleep, Yuchen got out of bed: "Prepare water, I want to bathe." ”

Massaging Yan Wushuang was not an easy task, she was sweating just now.

Mama Gui said: "The water has been prepared, and the mother can go to bathe now." "Every time Yuchen massages Yan Wushuang, he has to take a bath, this is already a habit.

Waving her hand to let Shi Xiang and the others go out, Mama Gui squatted down and asked while rubbing Yuchen's back: "Niangniang, did the emperor mention Han Yuxi to you again?"

Yuchen sighed and said, "The emperor said that the rebellion in Hebei was planned by Yuxi. The purpose is to consume the military strength of the imperial court, and attacking the capital in the future will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort. ”

Mama Gui said: "Han Yuxi really does everything, and he can think of such a shady way to achieve his goal. ”

"It's okay to be damaged, it's useful. After speaking, Yuchen said with some melancholy: "The winner is Hou and the loser is Kou, when Yunqing and Han Yuxi win the world, these things will naturally be erased." "History books are written for the victors.

Mama Gui's face changed, but she quickly calmed down: "Niangniang, Yunqing and Han Yuxi think about this world, but it's not so easy. ”

Yuchen shook his head and said, "The emperor said that at most, the year after tomorrow, Yunqing will lead troops into the capital. Looking at the emperor's attitude, he was not sure to hold the capital. "Not only is it that he is not sure to defend it, Yan Wushuang has no intention of defending the capital at all.

Seeing that Mama Gui's face was not good-looking, Yuchen said: "The emperor said that even if Liaodong can't hold it in the future, he will protect Ah Bao and Ah Chi." ”

Mama Gui frowned and asked, "What about you, Niangniang?"

Yuchen said: "I naturally want to advance and retreat with the emperor. "Yan Wushuang is born, she is born, if Yan Wushuang has a case, she will naturally follow.

There was no one else in the clean room, and Mama Gui didn't have any scruples: "Niangniang, how can you rest assured that the third prince and the eldest prince are left?"

"I believe in the Emperor. Seeing that Mama Gui was going to say more, Yuchen said: "Mama, don't say it again, I have made up my mind." "Selfishness or cowardice, she really doesn't want to live that kind of precarious life.

These words quickly reached Meng Nian's ears. Because Yuchen remarried, Meng Nian didn't look down on Yuchen before, thinking that she was greedy for life and afraid of death. But now, he has a different opinion of Han Yuchen.

Yan Wushuang knew this, and then saw Meng Nian's change of opinion towards Han Yuchen, and said with a smile: "Anyone can say beautiful words." ”

Meng Nian was stunned for a moment, and then said, "The emperor doesn't believe in the concubine?" If he believed it, he wouldn't say such a thing.

Yan Wushuang really didn't believe in Han Yuchen, if she really had the courage to die a long time ago, how could she still live until now. However, he didn't look down on Yuchen because of this, the ants still steal life, let alone people!

Meng Nian frowned.

Yan Wushuang was reluctant to continue this topic, and said: "I just got the news that this riot in Hebei was planned by an organization called Ye Jiuyang. ”

Meng Nian felt that the name Ye Jiuyun was somewhat familiar.

Yan Wushuang: "Ye Jiuyun is the leader of the displaced people outside Linzhou City. These people were rescued by Han Yuxi, and they must have died for her. Such a person will keep him in a woeful way, and you will have people go and get rid of him. ”

"I'll give the order later. After a pause, Meng Nian said: "Your Majesty, since Ye Jiuyun's details have been ascertained, should we publicize this matter?" ”

Yan Wushuang said: "It's not enough to just preach. I am going to prepare an official letter to send to the northwest. ”

"Official letter?" Meng Nian was a little puzzled.

Yan Wushuang smiled: "The falcon is not to preach that Yunqing and Han Yuxi are the heroes of the world, I will let the world see the true face of this couple." "In order to win the world, Han Yuxi can't use any means. But you still want to have a good reputation for doing such a thing, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world.

In one night, the rebellion in Hebei was planned by King Ming and Princess Ming, and the news spread throughout the capital. When the ordinary people heard the news, they could say two sentences at most, but after those literati and writers heard this, they crusaded against Yunqing and Han Yuxi one after another.

Zhong Shantong got the news and frowned. If this is true, then this is too much.

Tie Kui didn't have any thoughts about this: "If the imperial court provides disaster relief, Yuxi can't encourage them to rebel." "Speaking of which, it was the incompetence of the imperial court that gave Yuxi a chance.

Zhong Shantong said: "I heard that tens of thousands of people have been killed and injured in this rebellion in Hebei, and I don't know if it's true or not." ”

When Tie Kui said this, he knew that Zhong Shantong was also affected by the rumors outside: "The people can't survive, and sooner or later they will rebel." However, the scale of the rebellion of ordinary people was not so large, and the imperial court could quickly suppress it. ”

Zhong Shantong was stunned, and said after half a sound: "What does the lord mean, the rebellion in Hebei was really planned by Princess Ming?"

Tie Kui shook his head and said, "It can only be said that this rebellion has something to do with Yuxi." Seeing Zhong Shantong's puzzled face, Tie Kui said: "I got a message before I came back that the counterinsurgency army had lost more than 10,000 people. If there are no people in the rebels who are good at using soldiers, they will not be able to do it. ”

Zhong Shantong has always believed in Tie Kui, since he said so, it should not be wrong. Zhong Shantong asked, "Don't you think that Princess Ming is not doing much?"

Tie Kui glanced at Zhong Shantong and said, "As I said just now, even if Yuxi is not involved, Hebei and Shandong will not be peaceful. "Yuxi intervened, but it only made the situation more chaotic. However, since Yuxi and Yan Wushuang are enemies, there is nothing wrong with doing so.

"It's none of our business. After saying this, Tie Kui changed the topic: "Old Zhong, I want to send Ah Zhan to the northwest." "Ah Zhan is the son born to the Xiao family, except for their husband and wife, only Zhong Shantong knows.

Zhong Shantong was a little surprised: "Send it to the northwest, master, are you going to hand over the third young master to Princess Ming?"

Tie Kui nodded and said, "Now that the situation is getting more and more serious, I don't know what the future will be." In fact, after Ah Zhan was born, he wanted to send it to the northwest, but the child was too young for fear of accidents. Now that the child is older, he is not worried about this.

Zhong Shantong shook his head: "Master, has Yan Wushuang discovered something?" It should be impossible, they have been extremely cautious all these years.

Tie Kui shook his head and said, "No." Sending Ah Zhan to the northwest is also a precaution. "He has to leave roots for the Ning family.

"No, there won't be any in case, sir, you will definitely live a long life. "I've survived so many years, and I'll be able to get through it in two more years. If there is an accident at this time, then God really has no eyes.

Tie Kui smiled bitterly: "I have so many innocent people's blood on my hands, how can I live a hundred years." ”

Zhong Shantong immediately said: "Master, this is not your original intention, you are also acting according to orders. He knew that the old man had been uneasy because of the affairs of those homeless people.

Sighing, Tie Kui said, "Even if you follow orders, these people are dead at my hands. ”

Zhong Shantong said: "Master, even if you don't obey the order, these people won't be able to live." "Tie Kui doesn't obey the holy decree and does not do any good except to put himself in it, Yan Wushuang will still appoint others to kill these outcasts.

Tie Kui did not feel less guilty because of Zhong Shantong's words. Yan Wushuang is the mastermind, and he is the accomplice.
