Chapter 16 The Great Rebellion in Southern Xinjiang

Lin Muzi received a message from the eunuch, and prepared a meal early to wait for the arrival of Jun Wuchen and the others.

Jun Wuchen and his son talked again in the imperial study, and when they were about to go to the Jiaofang Palace, a eunuch hurriedly ran in, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something is wrong!" ”

Jun Wuchen looked at the appearance of the eunuch and frowned, "What's the big deal, what do you look like in a hurry!" ”

The eunuch knelt down, and his face was still as anxious as before, "Emperor Qiqi, the ambassador of southern Xinjiang to Xinjiang has come to report that the Baili Dynasty has invaded the villages and towns of southern Xinjiang, and southern Xinjiang has been in turmoil. The eunuch paused for a moment, and then continued: "It is reported that sixteen cities and towns in southern Xinjiang have been lost, and more than 100,000 people have been killed or wounded. ”

Jun Wuchen listened to the eunuch's words and was stunned for a long time, "What did you say?" Sixteen cities and towns in southern Xinjiang were lost, and more than 100,000 people were killed or wounded, so what is the purpose of the ambassador in Xinjiang, and what is the purpose of the army stationed in Xinjiang! Jun Wuchen said and swept all the few things left on the ground at hand, and suddenly the entire imperial study was quiet. After a long while, Jun Wuchen slowly spoke, "Spread the news that the ministers will meet and discuss the chaos in southern Xinjiang." ”

The eunuch received the order and hurried out, not daring to stay for a moment, for fear that Jun Wuchen would get angry again and harm his life, and for a while, only Jun Wuchen and Jun Qingcheng father and son were left in the imperial study.

"Qingcheng, what do you think about this?" Jun Wuchen looked at his son standing beside him, and suddenly wanted to hear his thoughts.

Jun Qingcheng was also stunned for a moment when he heard the news, but he quickly figured out what Jun Wuchen meant: "The emperor's grandfather has only been immortal for a year, and his father has only succeeded to the throne for a year. It has been thirty-one years since our dynasty and the Baili Dynasty were at peace, and the emperor should have thought of this day when it was agreed that the two countries would separate one side, but he probably didn't expect it to be so soon! Jun Qingcheng said and glanced at Jun Wuchen, for fear that he said something wrong, after seeing the encouragement in Jun Wuchen's eyes, he said the next words at once, "According to common sense, the Baili Dynasty will not do such a meaningless thing, but there are still signs of this matter, in the early years, when the emperor's grandfather was still there, your father and the emperor also went to Southern Xinjiang once, and that time was the ghost of the Baili Dynasty, and it should have only temporarily stifled the sprouts." Then when your father succeeded to the throne, the Baili Dynasty did not send anyone to come, but took advantage of the time when your father ordered the whole country to recuperate and recuperate, and caused turmoil in southern Xinjiang. ”

Jun Wuchen nodded slightly after listening to Jun Qingcheng's words, "Yes, your father and I have an unstable foundation, coupled with the previous events in Southern Xinjiang, the Baili Dynasty just sees that there is no one in my Jun Dynasty." At the beginning, the first emperor insisted that only one person was needed in the harem, and it was enough for me to succeed him, but he never expected that the Baili Dynasty would be in trouble so soon! Jun Wuchen's face couldn't see joy or anger, "Qingcheng, you're older, you'll be here to listen later, if you don't understand anything, just bring it up, it's time for you to take your own responsibility." After Jun Wuchen finished speaking, he half-lay back on the dragon chair, closed his eyes, and covered the tiredness in his eyes.

"Yes, Father. The sons will definitely study hard and strive to share their father's worries as soon as possible. Jun Qingcheng didn't speak after speaking, just quietly waited for the minister's arrival.

In less than three incense sticks, the ministers were already in the imperial study, and all the officials led by Prime Minister Lin Cheng had received a notice of the turmoil in southern Xinjiang, and they had already discussed it slowly below before Jun Wuchen could speak. When Jun Wuchen felt that they were discussing almost before he was born, he interrupted, "Everyone, I believe you have already heard about the affairs of Southern Xinjiang, and you have been discussing it for so long just now, so let's talk about your thoughts!" ”

Prime Minister Lin Cheng glanced at everyone, and then stood up and briefly summarized the results of the discussion: "Your Majesty, the ministers and others have all unified one opinion after discussion, that is, fighting." The first emperor reigned for thirty years, the country was rich and the people were safe, the treasury was sufficient, and you have also pursued a policy of rest and recuperation since you succeeded to the throne. In the end, the terrain of southern Xinjiang is peculiar, it is the territory of our DPRK, and we also take advantage of the march and war. Therefore, this battle has to be fought, and it has to be won. ”

Jun Wuchen gently knocked on the bookcase, and the sound of "Tuk Tuk Tuk" was like knocking on the hearts of the ministers, and just when the ministers couldn't stand it anymore, Jun Wuchen spoke slowly but majestically, "You think very comprehensively, and it's very good, this battle must also be fought, and those who offend my Jun dynasty will be removed." Jun Wuchen suddenly stood up as he spoke, and his voice raised three degrees, "But everyone, Aiqing, you think so comprehensively, have you ever thought about who should go on the expedition?" Most of the generals who can lead troops to fight in our dynasty are already old, and most of the juniors are too young, have no combat experience and have not learned enough tactics, and the army has no generals, so how should this battle be fought! ”

Jun Wuchen's words made the imperial study quiet for a long time, and going out without a general is equivalent to losing without fighting, even if other conditions are good, it is in vain to have a good time and place.

"What, there's nothing to say? What is the Tao that can be analyzed just now? Jun Wuchen's anger suddenly came up: "Isn't there a suitable general for my huge dynasty to go on the expedition?" ”

"Your Majesty, Your Minister...... He was willing to lead troops to southern Xinjiang to suppress the war. Lin Chu stood up from among the courtiers and asked for battle.

Prime Minister Lin Cheng watched his only son stand up, and he couldn't tell what it felt, at the beginning, the world of the Jun Dynasty was also fought by him step by step with the first emperor, and he waited until the world settled down before he was idle to be a prime minister, but after thirty years, his son was going to follow his old path again, he really didn't want to!

"Your Majesty, when my father followed the first emperor to build the country, although the minister was not born when he fought in the East and the West, the minister grew up listening to these things since he was a child. I also hope that the emperor will allow the ministers to lead troops to the battle. Lin Chu didn't wait for Jun Wuchen and Prime Minister Lin Cheng to speak, and then said to himself, "If you can't protect your home and country, then the minister, the courtier, and the son are not qualified at all, and I ask the emperor for permission." Lin Chu's voice was full of perseverance.

Jun Wuchen looked at Prime Minister Lin Cheng's expression of wanting to speak and stopped, and also thought of Lin Muzi, who was still waiting for him in the Jiaofang Palace, and the knot in his eyebrows tightened, "General Lin, I know what you think, but Lin Xiang is old, only you are the only son, have you considered the feelings of the second elder and the queen in the family?" ”

Prime Minister Lin didn't know the previous conversation between Jun Qingcheng and Jun Wuchen, and he didn't expect Jun Wuchen to consider so many things, so he stood up tremblingly, and his voice was full of choked words, "Your Majesty, although the old minister is reluctant to let this only son go to the battle, but he is the only suitable person when he was a child, so let him go, this is the responsibility of being a courtier." The Chenlin clan can shed blood for the Jun dynasty, just a war, how can there be no generals! It is also hoped that the emperor will agree to General Lin's request. Prime Minister Lin Cheng was already choked up after saying this, and relied on the support of other officials behind him to stand firmly.
