Chapter 608: High-Pressure Policy
Now Qiu Ning doesn't sympathize with the Eighth Prince at all, that person simply deserves it, and he has to die for himself. Knowing what is right to do, but going the other way around, such a person is simply hopeless. And because he has caused so much damage and caused the misery of the people, there is nothing to be sorry for.
And those ministers who were forced to suppress the rebellion also really saw that the mandate of heaven could not be violated. Nowadays, whether it is the yamen or the garrison in various places. All of them were surrounded by the common people, and those garrisons actually worked with the common people to directly correct the local corrupt officials on the spot. The officials who went to suppress it were really shocked when they saw the corpses of the officials hanging on the city tower.
When the soldiers who had originally led saw this battle, they were also weak in their hearts. And the towers in various places have been occupied by the rebels. If you want to put an end to the rebellion, you must first take the city. And the siege of the city requires troops, and the garrisons in various places are not subject to the dispatch of the imperial court, so how can they attack the city? And the reason for the strike of those garrisons is even simpler, it is actually because they can't make a sound. and the pressure of the fathers and villagers in the family, saying that helping the faint king will be retribution.
Originally, there was not much silver when he was a soldier, but this time the silver did not sound, and the family put pressure on him, and the emperor was indeed unconscious. Many soldiers' fiancΓ©es were robbed into the palace. The new hatred and old hatred are combined, and no one is willing to die for the faint king. So the garrisons around the towns all went back to their homes and looked for their mothers. The good barracks are basically empty.
If you want to talk about this rebellion, it is the corrupt officials and squires who suffer the most, but the common people who benefit the most. The poll tax that was supposed to be paid no longer had to be paid, and the land occupied by the corrupt officials was taken back to the hands of the people. Originally, because of the emperor's order, all beauties must be sent to the palace first. Now the daughters of each family also marry if they want to. Anyway, it's already the other way around, so I'm no longer afraid of how the faint king will punish him in the end. Besides, the world is in chaos, and it's hard to say who the emperor is?
The Eighth Prince looked at the war reports sent from all over the country, and it couldn't be said to be a war report, it could only be said to be bad news. Why can't it be said to be a war report? Only when there is a war, can it be said that it is a war report, but because there are no soldiers in the siege of the city, they can only look at the city tower in a daze, trying to persuade the rebel king in the city tower, but the result is in vain. Those rebels didn't want to hear anything about the righteousness of the monarch and ministers, and they didn't want the emperor to be subdued. What are you going to do on the expedition king, it's shameful to work for the faint king, and it's directly on the city tower.
The poor ministers can only look at Loucheng in a daze, and they can't do anything. Of course, it is possible to do it, and what can be done is to send the latest news back to the capital. A few more were lost, a few more corrupt officials were killed, and a few more garrisons rebelled. In short, from the beginning to the end, there was not a single good thing, and no good news came back to the capital.
The new emperor angrily threw all those folds to the ground, and the eunuchs and palace maids on the side were silent, this emperor was angry, who dared to touch his brows, didn't want to live?
Gonggong He stood aside, seeing that the new emperor was angry, he hurriedly stepped forward to persuade with concern, and the shrill eunuch's voice was disgusting to hear. But the new emperor got used to it, and felt that this voice was inexplicably reassuring. "Your Majesty, what kind of anger are you born in, these ministers are useless, you can change another batch. If the ministers want to live, they have to do a good job for you. Let's lock up all the ministers' families, and whoever can put this matter to rest, let's let their families out. Wouldn't that be better? β
The new emperor's heart moved, this method is really good, I have said it a long time ago, those ministers are cheap, if you don't smoke or beat them, they won't move, and they won't do things well. Since they died by themselves, don't blame yourself for being ruthless. "What you said Xiao Linzi is that I will make an order, and this matter will be handed over to Dongchang. I believe only you now, Xiaolinzi! β
Gonggong He looked at the emperor's earnest gaze, and his heart softened, "Your Majesty, look at what you said, isn't it what a slave should do for you?" The minion has been with you for so many years, you know the character of the slave best, and the minion is dedicated to you, and will not be for others anymore. β
The new emperor nodded with satisfaction, looking at Gonggong He who was closer than his relatives, "I believe in you, I believe in you the most." β
Gonggong He took a handkerchief and pressed the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Your Majesty, don't worry, since we can take it down in this world, how can it easily fall into the hands of others?" If there is a slave, you put a hundred and twenty hearts, and the slave will guard this country for you, and no one will take it away. β
The new emperor's indulgent face, the bottom of his eyes became darker and darker, and the whole person seemed to have gained a lot of weight, but it was that kind of weak fat. "I can't figure out how those ordinary people can be so bold to rebel, you can tell me, who is behind the scenes, or what the people want, I didn't satisfy them, so they are disobedient."
Gonggong He's eyes darkened, "Your Majesty, you think too much, these ordinary people are also like ministers, we have to manage them strictly, so that they can be obedient and obedient in paying taxes and silver." People are greedy and selfish, and if they want them to hand over the money honestly, they are naturally unwilling, and they will naturally start a rebellion. But if we are softened because of this, we will not even think about the common people handing over a penny of silver in the future. So when you should be ruthless, you must be ruthless, your majesty, don't be soft-hearted because of this, that will be in the hearts of those rebels. β
The new emperor closed his eyes tiredly, only feeling that he was so tired from sitting on the throne, he thought that he was working hard when he was a prince, but when he became the emperor, he would be able to do whatever he wanted, do whatever he wanted, and eat whatever he wanted. But I didn't expect it to be like this in the end, I was tired like an emperor, the ministers were disobedient, the people were disobedient, and it was endless, which was really exhausting. Thinking about it, the new emperor fell asleep, and Gonggong He ordered the eunuchs to bring blankets and personally guard the emperor's side, and the palace people who went to the study all retreated quietly.
Gonggong He sat on the side with a gentle face, looking at the emperor on the dragon bed, his young face was already full of exhaustion. Father-in-law He's palms couldn't help but tighten, all of them were disobedient ministers, all of them were ordinary people who were not interested. If they are honest, how can their emperor work so hard? No, we can't let those ministers continue to be easy, we must let them do a good job for the emperor.
And the rebellions everywhere must be quelled, and the emperor needs to rest. Gonggong He suddenly walked to the dragon bed, and then lay down on the dragon bed generously and slept with the emperor. This kind of picture looks particularly weird, but it is really like this.
Chapter 609 Xiangyin
Qiu Ning read Qiao Yushu's letter excitedly, and her heart was full of joy, no wonder she felt that there was something wrong with the rebellion in various places. It seems that someone had planned it a long time ago, and it turned out to be true. I didn't think wrong, but what I didn't expect was that the person behind it turned out to be Yushu. Qiu Ning is now completely relieved, if Yu Shu can do things this far, what to do next, he just needs to wait attentively. It's just that Qiu Ning doesn't understand, did Yushu return to the capital in the end? He wants to fight for the throne of the capital, but he wants to guard the border city!
Qiu Ning was a little puzzled, but she still happily showed Yushu's letter to the eldest princess. After reading the letter, the eldest princess felt joy and sadness in her heart. Although I know that this is a matter of time or time, I know that this world is going to be replaced. But now that she really saw it with her own eyes, the eldest princess was still quite sad in her heart. But seeing her daughter's happy appearance, the eldest princess felt that she was too selfish. The daughter and son-in-law relied on their own strength, but they did not use some subordinate means like the new emperor, and the most hateful thing was that the father was poisoned to death by the new emperor.
And if someone can avenge his father, he should be happy. And he is his son-in-law, and he is also his own relative, and he is also a relative of his father! The eldest princess figured it out, and the smile on her face deepened. "Yushu is really a far-sighted child, look at this rebellion, and all towns across the country have broken out. And if these rebellions want to be quelled, in addition to Yushu coming forward, others can only suppress them by force.
But this force is inseparable from the soldiers, and now that the emperor doesn't even make a military sound, does he still want the soldiers to listen to him? It's just that my mother doesn't know how to understand, is the treasury in deficit to this share? I can't even send out the silver, and no matter who takes over the world in the future, I'm afraid it will be a mess! β
To say that the eldest princess's worries are indeed not wrong, how messy it is now, how troublesome it will be to clean it up in the future. It's like a home, you mess up the house, no matter who takes over the position of the head of the house, the first thing to do is to tidy up the house. It still has to be laborious, so the eldest princess feels worried, will her son-in-law be able to cope with it when the time comes? Especially now that there is no silver hair, how can I hold on?
Without Xiangyin, would those soldiers continue to listen to their son-in-law? The eldest princess thought about it, and finally couldn't help but pull her daughter and said. "Bao'er, you said that there is no ringing silver in the army, will those soldiers always listen to the orders of their son-in-law? It's okay for a month and two months, but after three months, I'm afraid that I won't even be able to provide food and drink for the soldiers, and I'm afraid it will be really troublesome at that time. This world still needs a strong army to rectify, so Yushu's Qiao family army must not be chaotic, and there can be no changes. β
Qiu Ning also thinks that what her mother said is reasonable, but how can there be so much silver now? "The new emperor refused to release Xiangyin, he already wanted to set up the Yushu and want the Qiao family army to be disbanded. The new emperor actually ignored the crisis in the border city, and thought about taking the power yesterday, which is really a short-sighted villain. Now that there is no sound of the Silver Feather Book, I am afraid that it is very difficult in the army, and the environment in the border city is already bad, and I don't know what is going on now. Mother, I'm really worried! β
The eldest princess wrinkled her eyebrows, "You're right, if you don't want to send some silver to your son-in-law, at least let your son-in-law get through this difficulty!" β
The eldest princess has been around for so many years, and she also has some family background, but she is not as rich as those corrupt officials. Now for the sake of her daughter and son-in-law, she took out all her family resources, and the eldest princess didn't even frown, in the eyes of the eldest princess, isn't this how it should be? Everything belongs to his daughter, so what's wrong with taking it out in advance to help her daughter and son-in-law?
"Mother, my daughter doesn't want anything from you, my daughter wants to take out as much of Weiyi's silver as possible, so that she can help her!" After operating Weiyi for so many years, Qiu Ning has not earned money, and now that it is the most critical time, Qiu Ning is naturally willing to use his savings for many years. It is not an outsider who helps, but his husband and the father of the child in his womb.
The eldest princess knew that her daughter didn't want to trouble herself, so she smiled slightly, "Bao'er, my mother is not helping you, my mother is just thinking about the people of this world." Now things are not even, the world is chaotic, and the people will not have a good life. If the mother takes out the money to help a group of sons-in-law, she is also helping the people of the world, and the people have a peaceful life, and the mother will feel stable in her heart, so why not? You girl just thinks too much, my mother's money is not left to you! β
Qiu Ning actually knew in her heart that her mother was just comforting herself when she said such things, but Qiu Ning could only accept it, because from Yu Shu's letter, Qiu Ning could see that Yu Shu was also quite difficult in the border city. Imagine what an army of more than 100,000 will face when it suddenly runs out of money, food and grass? "Mother, then Qiu Ning will thank you on behalf of Yushu. When the world is at peace, I'll give you back the money. β
The eldest princess really can't take this daughter, "You girl just want to share with her mother, and your mother's silver is for your grandson in the belly, but it has nothing to do with the two of you." β
The mother and daughter gathered the silver together, and ordered someone to secretly get the silver ticket that night. Qiu Ning hoped that the silver ticket he sent could solve Yushu's temporary urgency. Those who have been to the border city know how hard the soldiers in the border city are, and Qiu Ning knows that he is now suffering in the imperial tomb, but he has no less to eat and drink hard. If you are not careful in the border city, you don't even have to eat, so many people have nothing to eat, and you are afraid to think about it.
Qiao Yushu didn't expect that when he received Qiu Ning's reply, he also received a silver ticket of one million taels, including Qiu Ning's, the eldest princess's, and Mrs. Qiao's. Qiao Yushu didn't think much about it, and immediately ordered people to go to purchase grain and grass with silver tickets, and now the surrounding towns of the border city have not been affected, and the food in each city is still relatively sufficient at this time. Now buy a large amount of food, which can supply the soldiers for several months.
Qiao Yushu has always known that the person who cares about himself the most in this world, and the one who knows himself best is Qiu Ning. Every time when he is at his worst, Qiu Ning will always help himself, no matter what it is, he will make his heart moved, and at the same time, he will blame himself for why he can't do something for Qiu Ning?
In fact, there is indeed a crisis in the army because of the interruption of the imperial court, but Qiao Yuminshu has also had some income for so many years, and he can barely hold on, but it can't last long, and now with this million taels of silver, he has more confidence, and the border city will become his rear. The food here will always be supplied to Qiao's army, and he can save his heart. (To be continued.) )
