The dim light of the fire lit up the streets, flickering and darkening, reflecting the hideous faces of the people, and the blood and screams irritated the already fragile hearts of the refugees.

"The white lotus is born, and all the people turn over!"

"All living beings in the world are suffering, only the white lotus blooms!"

Under the instigation of the White Lotus cultists, groups of people crowded, smashed, looted, burned, raped, and plundered, and plagued several towns in Hedong.

Although the situation is chaotic, the crowd is moving in an orderly manner, which is naturally secretly instructed by someone.

The leader of the sect, who was surrounded by several disciples and wore robes, was controlling the situation through the words of the congregation.

Not far in front of the so-called White Lotus Sect Master, a few men smirked, kicked open the door of a house, divided the male owner by three times and divided five by two, and hugged the rather beautiful hostess to do that reluctantly thing on the spot.

In the nearby disaster relief warehouse, some emaciated Taoist priests were kicked to the ground and fainted, and these people frantically grabbed the blood-stained white rice.

The sect leader's thinking is very clear, and if he wants people to believe in his White Lotus Sect, he must first make everyone unable to live.

The Taoist priests from the capital brought a large amount of food, and they opened porridge sheds to help the refugees free of charge.

If this continues, the refugees will have hope of survival, and few people will be willing to follow him for their lives.

To achieve great things, this natural disaster is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and these Taoist priests are undoubtedly their biggest stumbling block.

Wearing Taoist robes, carrying food and medicinal herbs, they saved countless people.

The best believers who should have belonged to the White Lotus Sect were snatched away by them like this, and the sect leader in white robes couldn't bear it anymore, so he had to act in advance.

Someone sneaked out of the yard and wanted to escape, but was caught and beaten by several people, lying in the corner of the wall with air in and out, and it seemed that it was not good.

A bloody aura came from afar, and the sect leader frowned, he himself didn't like the smell of blood.

This night in Pingyang County, Hedong Province, was a hellish night, and countless peasants who were originally honest and honest turned into murderous demons under the coercion of their followers.

A great popular uprising, centered on Pingyang, spread rapidly in Hedong, and for a time there were White Lotus cultists everywhere, and bloody killings everywhere.

The white-robed sect leader slowly raised his head and showed his face from his robe.

His face was wrapped in a strange and strange wooden mask, looking like a demon soul crawling up from the underworld.

He opened his hand gently, and the people around him all showed extremely reverent expressions, respectfully waiting for the sect leader's lecture.

"After tonight, recruit soldiers and horses, snatch the weapons in the county, and we will go to rescue Jinyang!"

"The White Lotus came to the world, rescued the people, and rescued Jinyang!" Immediately some of the congregants shouted hysterically.

"This is definitely premeditated, it is estimated that it has been prepared for several years, or even more than ten years, and the officials in Hedong have the responsibility to do so!"

In the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Wei Yunse said angrily, Jiang Chu was a little disgusted, at this time, how could Enxiang still shirk his responsibility.

Even if it is the fault of the Hedong officials, now is not the time to investigate and punish, but to find a way to quell the rebellion.

"Enxiang, Hedong is not far from Gyeonggi, we must find a way to hold down this group of displaced people, otherwise it will cause disaster to Kaifeng Mansion, and the consequences will be unimaginable." Liu Qin said worriedly.

Jiang Chu glanced at him, and the two of them looked at each other and nodded, both understanding each other's thoughts.

Wei Yunse nodded and muttered, "What do you have in mind?" ”

What he is good at is fighting with the mud, fighting officialdom, and looting money for Emperor Gengyuan, these are the three unique skills that he relies on to stand tall, as for pacifying the chaos and governing the country, it is not Wei Yunse's strength.

This time, at a critical time, he decisively abandoned Yao Baobao and cooperated with Chen Shou, which is the embodiment of Wei Yunse's wisdom. Originally, in the stalemate between the three parties, he had no military power, but he keenly grasped the fatal advantage of his own control of the city gate, that is, the lifeline of both sides.

Under the trade-off, stumbling over Chen Shou, he didn't benefit much, so he couldn't be a Taoist priest by himself, and he would give Emperor Gengyuan alchemy. But after destroying Yao Baobao and the huge benefits he could share, Wei Yunse decisively chose to sell Yao Baobao, and Chen Shou entered the palace that night to quell the rebellion.

Jiang Chucai sighed and said, "Originally, there was an accident in Hedong, and letting the forbidden army go out can wipe out the thieves in one fell swoop." But today's forbidden army... Alas, don't mention it. According to the lower officials, the only way is to give an order, let Hedong be strong, recruit soldiers and horses on his own, garrison the place, and work together to strangle the homeless. ”

Liu Qin frowned and said, "It's not proper, I'm afraid that when the time comes, Hedong Haoqiang's tail will not fall off, and he will become a feudal town... There is a general uniform for the expedition to the west, which is already a big problem for our henchmen, and if a group of Hedong Domain towns come again, wouldn't it be difficult to sleep and eat. ”

"Wen Mian, what do you have in mind?" Wei Yunse was persuaded by his words, and also knew that Jiang Chu was born in the Jiang family in Hedong and was a local noble family. If the opening of the recruitment of troops is opened, the heroes of Hedong, who have accumulated a lot of wealth, can quickly form a strong army with no weak combat power. When the time comes... I'm afraid that the world is really going to be in chaos.

Liu Qin cleared his throat, clenched his fists slightly, and said, "Enxiang, today's Yingzhou, Hedong, borders Mongolia. It is better to spend some money and borrow Mongolian soldiers to quell the rebellion. I once went to Mongolia, and the Mongols had war horses, but they were short of iron weapons, and if they were given some scimitars, they would kneel down in thanksgiving. ”

Wei Yunse's brows furrowed even tighter, even if he didn't understand military affairs, he felt that what these two people said was inappropriate.

"If the Mongols don't leave, won't we become sinners for the ages?"

Liu Qin pinched his beard and said with a smile: "Why should you worry about it, the Anshi Rebellion, Datang is not borrowing troops to quell the rebellion." In the end, he still withdrew, but it was just a little more money. The Mongols come in, we can solve it with money, if we let the heroes of Xiliang or Hedong rise, we will die without a place to be buried! ”

Liu Qin was complacent and thought he had a clever plan, but the officials below all looked at him with the eyes of fools.

"If it's not my race, its heart will be different, and this move is inappropriate..."Jiang Chucai said slowly, not hiding his disdain for this poisonous plan.

Liu Qin's background is not as good as Jiang Chucai, although he has a similar official position, he doesn't dare to argue with him, he just looks at Wei Yunse with a smile, waiting for him to make an idea.

Wei Yunse hesitated, hesitated, and sighed: "Let me think about it for another night, and let's discuss it again in the council hall tomorrow." ”

The officials present were all a little surprised, Hedong was already in dire straits, and Wei Xiang was so calm.

"Remember, don't let Your Majesty know." Wei Yunse added.

"I'm afraid that Chen Shou will go to tell the truth, and Your Majesty won't be able to hide it."

Wei Yunse said in a deep voice: "There's no need to worry about this, I'll talk to Chen Shou." ”
