Anyang County Shoufu.

In the hall, Yu Anmin was in the main seat directly above, and next to his subordinates, there was also a middle-aged scribe named Jiang Xing, who had some talents and was equivalent to a staff member of the county government.

Yu Anmin has always regarded him as a military advisor, and asked him more about his strategy, and his son Yu Ze was also in the hall, and the three of them seemed to be talking about something.

After taking another sip of tea, Yu Anmin put down the teacup and said, "Sir, after your advice, I have hoarded most of the grain and grass in Anyang in the army, which can be used by the army for several years, but I don't know when it will be used." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Xing smiled slightly and said calmly: "Don't worry, adults, you will need it soon." ”

"Oh?" Yu Anmin was just about to ask, but at this time, a county soldier ran in in a panic, then knelt on one knee and said in a trembling voice: "My lord! Oh no! Liu Yuzhi's law field was robbed, and Gao Yi was also killed by thieves! ”

"What!?" This is not a trivial matter, Yu Anmin stood up at once, and asked sharply: "Where did the thief come from, he is so bold!" ”

"This ...... Those people were all masked in black scarves, and their identities were difficult to identify. But they are well-trained and decisive, and they are by no means the actions of ordinary thieves. The county army replied.

"Trained?" Yu Anmin narrowed his eyes, then slowly sat back, and at the same time subconsciously looked at Jiang Xing.

Seeing this, the latter first waved his hand slightly towards the county army: "You go down first." ”

"Yes." The county army hurriedly retreated.

After he left, he said to Yu Anmin again: "My lord, according to what the sergeant said, these thieves, I guess the adults have already guessed who they are, right?" ”

In this whole Anyang, who else has such ability and courage, without waiting for Yu Anmin to speak, his son Yu Ze also reacted, and immediately said angrily: "It's Xiao Yuan!" ”

"Father! I'll mobilize the county army and arrest Xiao Yuan! ”

"Huh? Childe and slow. Jiang Xing hurriedly stopped him and said, "Now go to Xiao Yuan, we don't have any evidence at all, even if we know in our hearts that it's him, then there is no way to take him, and we can't ask for the guilt." Xiao Yuan is not a fool, since he dares to rob, he has pinched this point. ”

"What about this!" Yu Ze was not convinced.

"Huh? Listen to what the gentleman has to say. Yu Anmin glared at him, and then motioned for Jiang Xing to continue.

The latter continued: "Now, the traitor Wu Yuan has openly gathered people to rebel in the Jinyang area, and his power is getting bigger and bigger, several counties have fallen, it won't be long before the imperial court will issue an order to quell the chaos, and at that time, it will be the time for the adults to make meritorious contributions!" And the Liucheng garrison is not weak, at this time, adults should try their best to win over Xiao Yuan, he is a good chess piece! If you go to him to ask for guilt, first, it won't play any role, and second, it will outweigh the losses. ”

Saying that, he said: "And Liu Yuzhi, just a small matter, what a good way, adults should focus on big things, and don't lose big because of small things." ”

Yu Anmin was quite satisfied with what he said, and after nodding slowly, he also looked at Yu Zedao and said, "Ze'er, did you hear what Mr. said?" Think twice before you act, and take a long-term view. ”

"Yes, child." Yu Ze hurriedly said.

Jiang Xing is right, due to the drought, coupled with the weakening of the empire, Jinyang Wu Yuan, taking advantage of the situation to rebel, he is not a good type, nor is it a peasant uprising, but a blatant rebellion under the guise of rebellion, after the power grows, it is more and more exploited by the local people, slaughtering the city at every turn, and the people are already angry.

Under this kind of internal and external troubles, the cities around Jinyang fell one after another, and the traitor Wu Yuan was like a bamboo all the way, which also aggravated his atrocities.

Imperial Palace, Imperial Palace, Imperial Palace.

In the huge palace, the gold is splendid, and the floor is polished so brightly that it can almost reflect the shadow of people.

Hundreds of officials have already entered the ranks, all wearing official uniforms, standing on the left and right.

At that time, the official uniform was similar to that of the Han Dynasty, very atmospheric, at this moment, it had already passed the time of the early dynasty, and the ministers waited in the hall for a long time, and the Son of Heaven Shang Rui stretched his waist and yawned and walked on the dragon chair.

In this case, all the ministers were no longer surprised, and they all shook their heads secretly, and then knelt on the ground in unison, and shouted in unison: "The ministers participate in Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live——"

"Zhongqing is flat." Shang Rui waved his hand casually, he was wearing a dragon robe, a crown on his head, and twelve strings of jade beads on his forehead, and said absentmindedly: "Traitor Wu Yuan, has it been exterminated?" ”

If it weren't for the fact that the situation in the empire is in danger now, and those old ministers bother him every day, he wouldn't be too lazy to go to court!

Seeing this situation, all the ministers in the palace bent down slightly and stood below, and couldn't help but lower their heads and glance at each other, and then, Prime Minister Dong Hua stood up and arched his hand and said:

"Your Majesty, Lu Bolin has led the army to rebel for several months, but the battle report has been back, the traitor force is getting bigger and bigger, and several counties have fallen, I'm afraid, some can't resist it."

"What!?" Shang Rui's brows suddenly furrowed: "Doesn't he Lu Bolin often boast in front of me, saying that he Lu Jiajun is how, no matter how a little traitor, he can't be exterminated!" ”

"This ...... It's also related to natural disasters, Your Majesty. Dong Hua continued: "Since the beginning of spring, many places have been hit by drought, and the people of many states and counties have begun to pull weeds for food, and displaced people have risen everywhere, and the traitor Wu Yuan has also taken advantage of this opportunity. ”

As he spoke, he added: "At present, many prefectures and counties have written to ask the imperial court to allocate funds for disaster relief, and in the opinion of the ministers, Your Majesty should open the treasury and allocate funds to various places to comfort the people ......of Li."

"What did you say!?" Before he finished speaking, Shang Rui directly interrupted him: "My Golden Jade Hall is not finished yet!" I don't have enough money for myself, where is the money to save those untouchables! ”

"However, if the imperial court does not allocate funds to solve this drought, I don't know how many Li people will starve to death in the wilderness." Dong Hua Road.

Hearing this, Shang Rui sneered directly: "For thousands of years, these seven disasters and eight disasters have happened from time to time, and some people have died, isn't it normal, what can you do, the people of Qianshou are cheap!" ”

He is the Son of Heaven, and he actually said such a thing, and when the ministers heard this, they all looked at each other again, and Prime Minister Dong Hua was wide-eyed, and then his voice increased a little:

"Your Majesty! If no more funds are allocated for disaster relief, the empire will be in danger! The traitor Wu Yuan is categorically indestructible, and he also asks His Majesty to put state affairs first, and the Golden Jade Hall can be temporarily suspended! ”

If Shang Rui wants to stop the Golden Jade Palace, how can he be willing! That is the first palace in the world that he forcibly levied taxes in the world, worked the people and lost money, spent countless gold and silver, and wanted to build the first palace in the world, which was extremely luxurious, and now, it is only halfway through the construction.

He also immediately scolded angrily: "Prime Minister Hugh wants to talk nonsense!" Little traitor, what can you do! Those untouchables, if they die, they will die! ”

Dong Hua was dumbfounded.

But at this time, another minister hurriedly stood up, bent down and saluted: "Your Majesty is angry, the minister has a strategy, and he will be able to solve the traitor Wu Yuan." ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, Shang Rui immediately came to his senses, and hurriedly asked: "What is Aiqing's plan, let's talk quickly." ”

The minister said: "Now, the traitor force has spread to several counties, and the number of rebels is as many as 200,000 people. ”

His advice was directly recognized by Shang Rui, and he couldn't help but nod again and again: "What Aiqing said is very in line with my intentions, so do it!" Deliver the message now! ”

Seeing that the Son of Heaven didn't even think about it, he made a direct decision, Prime Minister Dong Hua moved the corners of his mouth, wanting to say something, but he couldn't speak.

Because this strategy can indeed be the most effective and rapid solution to the rebellion.

But this strategy has also directly led to the rise of armed forces in various places!
