Chapter 609: Hostage
Gonggong He never thought that even if he arrested all the families of those ministers, those ministers still had no way to capture the city. With just a few hundred Royal Forest Army, can it play a fart role? And those ministers who brought troops would rather die in battle themselves than come back alive. So at least the family has a way out!
The Beijing officials in the capital have never wanted to be officials so much, everyone knows that it is good to be an official, you can live a good life as an official, and you can eat and drink spicy food. can marry several concubines, you can be a master, and you don't have to be idle and bullied. But the current Jingguan is the worst job in the whole capital, and every day there will be a Jingguan leading more than a hundred people to other cities, trying to recover those rebellious towns.
And too few officials who go out can come back, basically all of them are dead, but even if they die, it is better than staying in the capital. can only watch his family suffer in Dongchang, and the officials hate Dongchang and that He Gonggong. Was this siege done by Wenchen? However, Gonggong He said that the ministers did not want to do their best for the emperor, so they would not be able to recover the lost city. This made a group of civil officials speechless, and there was no way to refute Grandpa He in public. In the end, the civil officials figured it out, they all died anyway, and their dead family members were free, but they didn't die in vain!
So the officials who went to siege the city every day ended up with death, and before every minister went, there was a dead silence, like the last ritual before death! The living officials will consciously come to see them off, because they know that they are the ones who will die next.
Everyone knew that it was wrong for the emperor to do this, but the families of the officials were all in the hands of Dongchang, even if they knew that it was wrong, no one said anything, but all the officials were suddenly like dumb people, and they went to die one after another. Later, more than half of the officials died, but there was no progress at all in recovering the lost city, as if it was all just a joke, with no result and no ending.
The new emperor leaned on the arms of the beauty, with a drunken face, as for those annoying major events in the court, the new emperor was too lazy to care, too lazy to care. Anyway, with Xiaolinzi to support you, continue to buy drunk by yourself, and continue to live your own life of drunken dreams and death!
The palace of the city is still full of laughter and laughter, the beauty is like a cloud, and it is still a song every night! There are more and more palace maids in the palace, and there are palace maids everywhere, all of whom are beauties. The emperor spoiled all the beauties in the harem, and sometimes ten beauties a day were accompanied. And those beauties often end up miserable, basically after the pampering is over, they let the emperor forget about it.
The most annoying thing is that because there are too many beauties in the harem, many beauties have to sleep together, because there is no palace to live in. And among those beauties, some of them boldly began to run out secretly, because there are fewer and fewer royal forest troops in the palace, and every time they go out to quell the chaos, they have to go more than a hundred, and slowly more than half of the tens of thousands of royal forest troops are also missing. At this moment, the garrison of the palace is slowly relaxed, and those beauties who have not been favored and have always missed their relatives. began to secretly pretend to be a palace maid and eunuch, and began to secretly run out.
Slowly, the beauties in the palace ran and walked, and there were even fewer left. The new emperor is drunk half of the day, and he knows that his beauty has run away, and he doesn't know that the world is going to change, and he doesn't know that his own life is almost over.
Gonggong He already felt the danger, and even more so the human element after the rebellion. Then the next most important thing is to put things out as soon as possible. All the ministers that can be used by the DPRK and China have used it, but it still has no effect. Gonggong He naturally thought of the Qiao family army in the border city, and thought that the Qiao family army could quell the chaos.
Gonggong He's meaning had just been mentioned, but the new emperor was dissatisfied. The new emperor felt that those rebellions were just a minor problem, so why did he use the Qiao family's army? Originally, the Qiao family army stayed in the border city, okay, why did you transfer them to the capital, even if the people in the Western Regions in the border city are now in chaos and are not counted. But they can't let Qiao Jiajun return to Beijing, as long as they return to Beijing, their throne will be in danger.
The new emperor had seen the danger of Qiao Yushu in the Qiao family's army, and felt that this was a love that should never be done, and would rather let the rebels attack the city than raise tigers. Gonggong He felt that the rebellion was a big deal at this time, seeing that the rebels had occupied most of the cities and towns in the country, and those small cities that had not been occupied also set up their own doors, and did not obey the emperor's orders at all. If it drags on like this at this time, the result will be that the capital is no longer the center of the country, but just a city!
And the emperor is no longer the emperor, just a city lord. Gonggong He felt that he had the lesser of two evils, and it was necessary to recall Qiao's army back to Beijing. And Gonggong He thought of a good way, that is, to invite the eldest princess and the lord of Bao into the palace, with these two people in the palace, even if the Qiao family army entered the capital, would they dare to make any changes?
Gonggong He wanted the emperor to hold the eldest princess and the lord of Baojun, and used these two people as a threat to force Qiao Yushu to do his best to settle the sentence. In this way, the emperor can continue to stabilize the throne, and after the rebellion is extinguished, he can marry Qiao Yushu with a cup of poisonous wine. As for the border city, if another minister is sent over, as long as the family members are left in the capital, if those ministers do not defend the city wholeheartedly, they will have to see their family members die. This is the simplest, but most effective.
The new emperor looked at Xiao Linzi and thought about it, but now there is really no good way. And keeping the eldest princess and the lord of Bao by your side is indeed the best life amulet. The new emperor is very aware of Qiao Yushu's affection for Lord Bao, and he also knows how filial Lord Bao is, these two people can completely restrain Qiao Yushu, as long as he returns to the capital, for the sake of his wife, he must listen to himself.
After thinking about it, the new emperor decided with Gonggong He's approach. And it's still as usual, leave the matter to Grandpa He, and let Grandpa He do it himself. Father-in-law He is also helpless, this is now the last way out. Gonggong He didn't want the emperor to know the current situation, and he didn't want the emperor to know that the capital had been isolated, and the city lords of each city had sent a letter of detachment, asking to break away from the rule of the capital. It's just that Gonggong He didn't show it to the emperor, and he didn't want the emperor to worry.
When Qiu Ning and the eldest princess saw Gonggong He who came over, neither of them wanted to deal with this eunuch, and one eunuch ruined the fate of the whole country. Of course, there are reasons for the new emperor, but this eunuch has no good intentions, as a close servant, he does not persuade the emperor to implement benevolent government, and does not persuade the emperor to focus on the people. This is already his dereliction of duty, he only knows how to persuade the emperor to do bad things everywhere, this eunuch is really hateful. (To be continued.) )
