Chapter 342 The Great Drought in the Central Plains

After reporting the news, Yu Wenhua and Zhengse said: "Now that Yuwen Chengdu has been suspended, when do you think we should start something?"

"Eldest Prince, I think this matter should be done sooner rather than later, and it is best to start within a day or two." Seeing that everyone else was still pondering and had no intention of expressing their opinions for the time being, Li Qing arched his hand and spoke first to make suggestions.

The day before yesterday, after he put forward a proposal on how to solve Yuwen Chengdu, Yu Wenhua attached great importance to him, and really relied on him as a confidant.

"Yuwen Chengdu is only temporarily dismissed now, and the faint monarch neither imprisoned him nor transferred him to exile, it can be seen that the faint monarch also has a trace of suspicion in his heart, I am worried that after a long time, the faint monarch will re-enable Yuwen Chengdu after reminiscing."

"Isn't that a bit too hasty?"

Yu Wenhua frowned a little, feeling that the time was a little too anxious, and said: "We still have a lot of things that we are not ready for, such as how to deploy the army after the incident, how to command, etc., we haven't planned these yet, should we wait a few more days?"

"I also think it's better to start early, so as to save you a lot of dreams at night and increase changes. Although the faint king is brutal, he is also a very smart person, and there are many treacherous and slippery guys around him, and after a long time, things may change again. ”

Yuwen Zhiji shook his head and said, "As for what the eldest brother just said, I don't think there is any need to worry too much. Chen Ling has also been loyal to the eldest brother, the generals in the Praetorian Guard who are still loyal to the faint monarch, only Yuwen Chengdu, Yuwen Xie and Dugu Sheng, now Yuwen Chengdu has been dismissed, Dugu Sheng's subordinates also have our people, and they can overturn him at any time, and the remaining Yuwen Xie is also an incompetent mediocre general, and he can't stop us at all! ”

Yuwen Zhihe paused slightly, thought about it, and continued: "We are now in the general trend, there is no need to worry about anything, the day after tomorrow is a day off, I advocate that today and tomorrow we should hurry up and prepare, and we will start the night after tomorrow."

"I'm also in favor of doing it the day after tomorrow!"

Yuan Li also said that he was one of the black hands who promoted Yu Wenhua and the rebellion, but he just wanted Yu Wenhua and the rebellion as soon as possible, but he didn't want Yu Wenhua and Zhen to succeed.

Their Henan Yuan clan had already taken refuge in Li Yuan, and he was the same. He instigated Yu Wenhua and mutiny to rebel, which was to carry out an order of the family, he just wanted Yu Wenhua to deal a blow to Yang Guang's majesty, so that the Great Sui court would completely collapse and disintegrate, and even he wanted Yu Wenhua and his back to have the reputation of killing the king.

Therefore, for him, as long as Yang Guang can be solved, Yu Wenhua's mutiny is as early as possible, and it doesn't matter whether the preparation is sufficient or not.

"I'm for it too!" Sima De said.

"Then do it the night after tomorrow!" Seeing that the three of them all spoke out in favor, Yu Wenhua didn't insist on his idea anymore, "Let's make a plan of action now." ”

Half an hour later, Yu Wenzhi and others left one after another, and only Yu Wenhua and Li Qing were left in the study.

Yu Wenhua looked out the window, sighed a little for a while, and said: "Time is still a little rushed, my imperial crown, my dragon robe, all are not ready yet!"

Li Qing looked at Yu Wenhua, and said with some hesitation: "Eldest son, my subordinates have a reminder, I don't know whether to say it or not."

"You say!"

"After the mutiny, I think it is not appropriate for the eldest prince to ascend the throne immediately, and the eldest prince should first appoint a royal family as the new emperor, which may be better."

"Why?"

Yu Wenhua's face suddenly became a little gloomy, "My father's last wish is for me to rebuild the Northern Zhou Dynasty, if I can't ascend the throne as emperor, then what should I do with so much effort!" ”

Yu Wenhua looked at Li Qing coldly, and was extremely unhappy in his heart, the reason why he wanted to mutiny and rebel was to be the emperor, but now Li Qing said that he could not ascend the throne, and he had to support the royal family as the emperor, didn't he let himself make wedding dresses for others?

Li Qing smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, the eldest prince is not against your accession to the throne, but I feel that the time is not ripe at the beginning, and it is not the best time for the eldest prince to ascend the throne as the emperor."

"Those Praetorian Guard soldiers just want to go home, not to rebel with you, and their subordinates are worried that once you rush to the throne, they may not listen to the command, or even fall apart."

"Of course, the eldest prince will eventually ascend the throne, but it will be delayed for a while, and then the eldest prince will kill the Yang family, leaving only one to be established as a puppet emperor, and then the eldest prince will appoint himself as the regent, and when the time is ripe, then let this emperor suddenly die of illness, and then there will be no royal inheritance, everyone can only support the regent to ascend the throne, and the eldest prince will be able to ascend the throne as a natural step."

Li Qing said slowly, analyzing in detail. Yu Wenhua's face softened, he pondered for a while, and finally nodded, if he became the regent first, and then ascended the throne as the emperor when the time came, such a plan is not unacceptable!

……

Spring, this is a bright and moving season, but this spring is obviously not, and has even become a nightmare for the people of the Central Plains.

Since last winter, the entire Central Plains region has experienced a catastrophe of drought in winter and spring, the rivers have dried up, the land has cracked, all the wheat crops planted have dried up and died, the people's families have already eaten up the grain stockpile, and they can no longer afford to replant and plant, and almost all the people are facing a desperate situation.

In the face of drought, millions of people in the Central Plains were desperate and powerless, and they embarked on the road of survival and escape.

There are four main ways in which the victims of the disaster will flee.

The first to bear the brunt is the direction of Luoyang, the eastern capital, after all, it is the capital of the Great Sui, rich and prosperous, and there is a Luokoucang with millions of stones of grain, and fleeing to Luoyang has become the preferred target for most of the victims.

The second direction is the direction of Jiangdu, which is also the traditional direction of the Central Plains disaster victims to flee. There is enough water in the Jianghuai region to stay away from the drought, and before the drought, water became the biggest temptation for the victims.

And the Son of Heaven is still in Jiangdu, although the people will no longer be loyal to the Son of Heaven, but in the face of the catastrophe, the Son of Heaven has become the biggest support in the minds of the victims.

Taiyuan is also a direction, although the number of people is relatively not very large, but Taiyuan Li Yuan is known as a virtuous person, and the people under his rule live and work in peace and contentment, so Taiyuan has also become the hope of some of the victims.

Of course, Dongnae County is also a direction, after all, over the years, the wealth of Dongnae County has been famous all over the world, so Dongnae County has also become the hope of the victims.

In particular, the victims of the Central Plains within the jurisdiction of the Allied Army, all of them fled to Donglai County, and there were not many victims outside the scope of their jurisdiction, after all, there were several counties that were also affected by the disaster in the middle, and those victims were not too sure that they would be able to escape to Donglai County smoothly.
