[205] The storm is surging
The old man looked at it a few more times, and suddenly stretched out his hand and whistled, and suddenly a white dove fell from the sky and landed right on his wrist.
"The signs of the decline of the Tang Dynasty have appeared, and the world is about to start to be chaotic. The old man touched the pigeon's back, took out a yellow scarf from his bosom and tied it to the pigeon's leg, then let it go and let it fly high into the air.
......
The capital of Shuzhou in the west, Shu is mountainous and valleys, the terrain is extremely rugged and bumpy, and it has always been a moat in the west of Kyushu.
In a cave in a certain mountain.
A white-haired old woman sat quietly on a clay platform with a long staff in the shape of a crescent moon and a short staff in the shape of a red sun, when suddenly the stone platform began to shatter visibly with the naked eye, and a large number of cracks appeared.
The old woman instantly opened her eyes with joy: "The real dragon is dead! The world is in chaos, I'm waiting for the opportunity of the Divine Sect to come!"
......
Somewhere in the south.
Eighteen women were each holding a musical instrument and playing a moving tune, when suddenly they saw a meteor in the sky, and the eighteen women stopped their movements one after another, and their faces showed strange smiles.
"The Emperor Star has fallen, and the destiny has risen again, why can't I become the new destiny. The young woman with the flute smiled.
"I've been arranging for many years, but now I can start to exert my strength, and at the moment, it still depends on who is willing to be the first shot of the uprising in the world. The plump woman holding the lute said.
"Even if the Tang Dynasty is going to fail, it is still a skinny camel bigger than a horse, who dares to be the first to revolt, it will have to face the hundreds of years of Datang, and this matter will have to arrange a few reckless men to move first to disturb the sight of the imperial court. The tall and thin woman pulling the erhu said.
"The Ten Standing Servants have controlled the imperial court for many years, and some officials from all over the country have long been unable to stand it, and they have not made any small moves in private, otherwise they will expose their conspiracy in advance and expose it to the eyes of the world. The fat woman touching the guzheng said.
"I have to do it!
For a while, there was laughter in the pavilion, although many people were talking about it, but when I listened carefully, I felt that it was just a person talking to myself from beginning to end, which was very strange.
......
The death of the Son of Heaven is a major event that shocked the world, and it cannot be hidden.
Within two days, the news had reached Jiangnan, and when Liu Xian, the assassin of Yangzhou Prefecture, learned the news, the whole person was shocked.
It was too sudden, the Son of Heaven died suddenly, and the new emperor was waiting to succeed to the throne, and this moment was the most restless time for the Tang Dynasty.
Everyone knows that Datang is currently suffering from internal and external troubles, Liu Xian has long had the intention of rebellion, and he has prepared a lot of things in private, such as he asked Liu Zhizhang to dig gold mines in the depths of Meteorite Mountain, just to bring gold to himself as an armament.
With money, you can build weapons and armor, you can recruit troops, you can buy grain and grass, and all this is necessary for rebellion.
But when it comes down to the intention of rebellion, Liu Xian is still very cautious, it is true that he wants to rebel, if he is completely unsure at this moment to jump out and declare to the whole world that he wants to rebel, Liu Xian still does not have the courage.
He can be a follower, but he will never be a leader.
The study of the Assassin's Mansion.
Liu Xian sat on the chair with the teacup, and asked Tong Yan, his advisor next to him: "Mr. Tong, I always feel a little flustered about the death of the Son of Heaven, can you hide the things we did?" ”
"Adults don't need to panic, we have been walking on thin ice in this matter for so many years, and we dare not relax in the slightest, any way is very good to cover up, and there is no possibility of a problem. Tong Yan comforted.
Everyone will feel good when they hear about the rebellion and seizure of the throne, but if you really do it yourself, it will be a different experience.
"As soon as Emperor Yongle died, the ten permanent servants became even more unscrupulous, once the prince ascended the throne, he had to obediently become a puppet in their hands, according to the current situation of the country, there will definitely be people who can't help but jump out to rebel, and then there will be like piercing through the hornet's nest, the world will change instantly, and everyone will start to make a statement. Liu Xian looked at the map of Datang on the table and fell into deep thought.
As the assassin of Yangzhou Prefecture, he is naturally able to get things that ordinary people can't understand, and this military map is one of them.
I saw that the detailed records above described the terrain of the south, and the various passes, bridges, and military camps were clearly displayed on the map.
Stretching out his fingers and sliding on a route, Liu Xian was just immersed in his post-rebellion fantasies, when someone suddenly rushed in directly outside the door, shouting in a panic: "Dad! Dad!"
Liu Xian frowned, looked up, and saw that it was his eldest son Liu Wei.
Liu Xian has always hated the way others babble, so he taught his children to learn to be calm and not to panic no matter what happens, because a decision-maker can only make the best choice when he is calm.
Liu Zhizhang has always done a good job of this, so he is deeply loved by Liu Xian.
"Break in without knocking, what kind of body! Why don't you get out of here quickly, kneel outside, and come in after half a pillar of incense. Liu Xian shouted angrily while holding Yan's father's shelf.
On weekdays, Liu Wei would definitely do it immediately, but at this moment, he seemed to be a different person, and he didn't have the slightest intention of recognizing walking out of the room, but said anxiously: "Dad, when are you still doing this, our Liu family is about to be finished, and now the entire Yangzhou Mansion is spreading that you, the assassin of Yangzhou Mansion, have a private army in the nearby mountains, intending to rebel." ”
"What!?" Liu Xian's eyes widened instantly, but he couldn't hold his shelf anymore, and immediately stood up from his seat.
The news shocked him.
How could it be? How could the news of his rebellion get out?
And the most terrifying thing is that the troops he raised are really hidden in the mountains near Yangzhou Mansion on weekdays, which has always been a secret of Liu Zhizhang.
Now, however, the secret is no longer a secret.
In Liu Wei's gaze, he saw that his father was trembling all over his body, trembling.
He had never seen Liu Xian like this, and he was extremely embarrassed.
Tong Yan was also shocked, this secret is a life and death order, when it is exposed to the eyes of others, it is announced that there is already a sword hanging above the head of the entire Liu family, once this sword falls, the Liu family will definitely be full of beheading, Zhulian Nine Clans.
Rebellion, that's a big crime.
"My lord......" Tong Yan asked in a hoarse voice.
Liu Xian was silent for a long time, and the atmosphere in the room fell silent for a while, cold like winter.
I don't know how long it has been, Liu Xian's mouth was very unwilling to spit out a few words: "Go and mobilize all the troops, from today on, I will assassinate Liu Xian in Yangzhou and rebel!"
......
Liu Xian is not the only one, examples like him happened in the north and south of the river for a while, but all those officials who had the heart of rebellion and had already boldly begun to prepare for the uprising in secret were all exposed in one day and became the target of the public.
Let the eyes of the whole world be fixed on them.
Although there was no reaction from the imperial court, everyone knew that it was just the calm before the storm.
These rebel officials, who do not know who exposed them, have fallen into a dilemma of admitting their mistakes and dying, and the uprising must die.
admit mistakes, and it is naturally impossible for the imperial court to forgive these guys who dare to recruit soldiers privately.
The uprising, once suppressed by the imperial army, naturally does not need to say much about the end.
Under the double choice, all the local officials with a small official rank revolted, and for a time the world's Kyushu was tragically divided by all parties, and the war was faintly about to start.
This has added another layer of suffering to the people who have already suffered from natural and man-made disasters, but it has made many people secretly complain of misery.
A few days later.
A teahouse in Qingyang City.
Qin Yuesheng sat in the corner, eating dessert and drinking tea, while listening to the storyteller talk about the situation today.
After occupying the Twelve Docks, he sat in that place for a few days, and when Du Xiaoqing's four dock masters completely controlled the entire Twelve Docks, he returned to Qingyang City by boat.
When he left the Twelve Docks, he wanted to go to Yangzhou Mansion, but at that time, Liu Xian was already the opposite, and the entire Yangzhou Mansion was controlled by his army like an iron bucket, but he couldn't get in or out, although Qin Yuesheng was not afraid, but he also lost his intention to go back, so he directly changed his destination and returned directly to his hometown.
Although Liu Xian is said to be the assassin of Yangzhou Mansion, his private army does not have the strength to occupy the entire Jiangnan in just a few days, not to mention that he has to spend some effort to surrender the Tang army in Yangzhou Mansion first.
So much so that Qingyang City is still very safe now, and it has not been affected, but it may be after a while.
If Liu Xian does not rebel, once he rebels, he will inevitably sweep through the south of the Yangtze River first, annex the major cities, and annex the armies of these cities to strengthen his own strength, so as to compete with the imperial court.
As Qingyang City, which is not too far from Yangzhou Capital, its future situation can be imagined.
"Ladies and gentlemen, in just three days, a total of 36 people in Kyushu rebelled, and the scene was unprecedented in a thousand years, and it can be said that everyone is experiencing the biggest change in Kyushu in a thousand years. The storyteller took a piece of startling wood and slapped it the table, which immediately resounded throughout the lobby and attracted everyone's attention.
I saw that this person had black hair and shiny black hair, and his demeanor was full of energy, and at a glance, he knew that he was not an ordinary person.
"Thirty-six? Is there so many, then tell me about this biggest rebellion in the past thousand years, is it possible that the world will change hands? A big man with a scabbard on his back asked.
In fact, in this kind of crowded occasion, it is very dangerous to openly discuss this kind of thing, but this person is obviously a chivalrous man in the rivers and lakes, and in the eyes of these people in the rivers and lakes, the degree of jealousy of the court is far less than that of ordinary people.
Hearing this person's inquiry, the storyteller smiled: "Who can say this accurately, I am not a fortune teller, if you want to know the current situation in Kyushu, I can say a word or two." ”
"Tell me about it. The big man threw a cloth bag directly on the storyteller's table, only to hear the jingle clanging, but the bag was full of copper coins.
"This hero is refreshing. The storyteller stretched out his hand to accept it: "Among the thirty-six people, one is our Yangzhou Mansion's Liu Xian's assassination history, this person is very hidden, and he has not been seen by others over the years, if it weren't for the fact that the news was leaked somehow this time, I'm afraid this person would not have been exposed so early." ”
Qin Yuesheng stuffed a rose cake into his mouth, Liu Xian wanted to rebel, but he already knew about it, which was not unusual.
"Then what is Liu Xian's strength? Can he stand firm in Jiangnan? Dahan asked.
"Needless to say, Liu Jianshi's years of preparation will not be a problem, as long as he subdues those soldiers in Yangzhou Mansion, it will not be a problem to support 100,000 soldiers. The storyteller shook his fan: "Although there are two officers and soldiers in Jiangnan who also rebelled, but in terms of climate, it is far less huge than Liu Tingshi, and it is estimated that within this year, Liu Tingshi will become the first overlord in Jiangnan." ”
A man in a cloth robe suddenly asked, "Can Liu Tingshi really survive that time? The imperial court didn't send troops to fight him?"
The storyteller smiled faintly: "If only one person rebels, the imperial court will naturally treat him well, and it will not be a problem to pinch him to death, but you must know that now thirty-six people are rebelling at the same time, and the pressure on Chang'an is great, and the imperial court will do something to anyone, and the remaining thirty-five people will immediately begin to annex the land of the Tang Dynasty, strengthen themselves and march towards Chang'an at the same time, no matter how strong the Tang Dynasty is, but after being divided, it is impossible to deal with so many troops at the same time." ”
Qin Yuesheng nodded, for the thirty-six officials who rebelled, the first target of the first elimination must be the imperial court, and when the Tang Dynasty is destroyed, they will start the battle for the king with peace of mind and decide the final winner.
As long as Datang exists for one day, these people will always have a common enemy.
Unlike ordinary people, Qin Yuesheng has thought about something at a deeper level, that is, there are powerful internal force warriors in this world, such as his current strength, which is enough to defeat an army by himself, and no matter how weak the Tang Dynasty is, it must also have a top powerhouse.
In Qin Yuesheng's limited cognition, he knew that the eunuch of the Seven Star Prison was the prince of the Tang Imperial Family, and he was also a top powerhouse in the Ten Levels of Internal Force Realm.
If such a strong person is sent to assassinate directly, I am afraid that even if Liu Xian and these officials have millions of soldiers, they will not be able to have any impact on shaking the foundation of the Tang Dynasty.
What they can think of, those people in Chang'an will naturally not be unexpected.
Many days have passed, and these thirty-six people are still alive and well, and they have not been affected by any assassination at all.
There is only one possibility for this kind of thing, that is, there are also powerful internal warriors secretly protecting these thirty-six people, so that Chang'an cannot eradicate these rebel officials without blood.
"This turmoil in Kyushu is by no means simple, and it is estimated that many martial arts sects are secretly involved behind the scenes. Qin Yuesheng said secretly.
