Chapter 668: Jingzhou Riot

The main hall is a little depressed, and the atmosphere is a little dignified.

As soon as the spies came in, Li Shimin asked, "What's going on with the Jingzhou riots?" ”

"Shengshang, there is a great drought in Jingzhou, and the crops are not growing well, or even almost not long, and as the drought lasts longer and longer, it has caused a locust plague, where the locusts have passed, the crops are all eaten and there is no left, the people have no food, and life is difficult, Li Hedong, the king of Chu, took the opportunity to recruit those famine people as a tribe, and raised a ...... in Jingzhou."

The spy said this, and in every word he said, there was shocking news.

After listening to this, everyone's faces were very ugly.

They mistakenly blamed Li Chunfeng, Tang Jingzhou, there was really a drought, and this drought also caused a locust plague, and what shocked everyone even more was the rebellion of Li Hedong, the king of Chu.

Everything, Li Hedong is playing ghosts, the reason why the news of the drought in Jingzhou did not come is that he blocked the news, he is forcing the people to live without a dependent, in that case, as long as he uses food, he can recruit troops.

In this era, there are too many people who serve as soldiers in order to be able to eat well.

After the spy finished speaking, Li Chunfeng stood up: "Holy Lord, the minister is not wrong, my Tang Dynasty does have a great drought, if it had been discovered earlier, it would not have caused the current consequences." ”

Li Shimin's expression was solemn, with a killing intent in his eyes, and the ministers bowed their heads and were silent, they were all the people who scolded Li Chunfeng at the beginning, and now that this kind of thing happens, they are also responsible.

However, this situation did not last long, and soon, the eldest grandson Wuji stood up: "Holy Lord, it is imperative that you send troops as soon as possible to destroy the rebellion of the King of Chu." ”

Li Shimin has not been the emperor for a long time, and many vassal kings are ready to move, but they have not moved, but the king of Chu took advantage of this opportunity to move, which shocked everyone, does he have such self-confidence, confident that after the rebellion, he will definitely be able to succeed?

In the eyes of everyone, many vassal kings have lost the best opportunity to rebel, and jumping out now is tantamount to death.

But as far as they knew, Li Hedong, the king of Chu, was a very smart person, if he wasn't absolutely sure, he shouldn't do this, right?

Li Hedong is Li Yuan's younger brother and Li Shimin's uncle, but now he wants to rebel.

After the words of the eldest grandson Wuji were finished, many people in the court also stood up.

"Holy Lord, the King of Chu is really a great rebellion, he must be destroyed, and let the vassal king know that the court is majestic and cannot be violated."

"That's it, please ask the Holy Lord to decide."

“…………”

Everyone is talking, but Li Shimin is thinking about whether the suppression of the king of Chu will cause a bigger problem, the vassal king is not easy to move, if the king of Chu is moved, will the other vassal kings take action?

But if the king of Chu is not moved, and the king of Chu is allowed to rebel like this, the majesty of the Son of Heaven will no longer exist, and at that time, the emperor himself will exist in name only, so what is the meaning?

When the other vassal kings saw this, they were afraid that they would not take themselves seriously.

In the past, he didn't do anything to Li Luo, it was because he had just become the emperor, the time was not ripe, and he didn't really jump back, but now that the king of Chu has jumped back, he has more or less stabilized the regime, and it is really unreasonable not to do it.

After a few thoughts, Li Shimin nodded: "What you Aiqing said is very true, the king of Chu rebelled, and he should be beheaded according to the law, you Aiqing, who is willing to lead the troops and suppress the king of Chu?" ”

Li Shimin asked, and Cheng Yanjin stood up directly: "Holy Lord, the last general is willing to go." ”

However, Cheng Biting King Kong stood up, and Gao Shilian also stood up: "Holy Lord, the soldiers and horses recruited by the Tang Dynasty have been trained for almost half a year, why not let them suppress the King of Chu, so that we can see how strong the soldiers and horses trained by the Marquis of Qin are." ”

After Gao Shilian stood up, Hou Junji immediately frowned, his Beacon Army had indeed trained for several months, but it was still much worse than Dacheng, if it was lost in a battle, it would be extremely unfavorable to him.

"Holy Lord, the minister has no objection to suppressing the King of Chu, but our soldiers and horses have only been trained for a few months, so I am afraid that it will be difficult to take on this important task."

Hou Junji still understands the situation of his soldiers, and after he said this, Su Dingfang, who had been a little hesitant before, also stood up: "Shengshang, the minister also feels that it is a little inappropriate to use recruited soldiers and horses at this time, they have not experienced a big war, in case of loss, the gains outweigh the losses, it is better to let the ministers train them for a few more months." ”

Hou Junji and Su Dingfang both objected a little to Gao Shilian's proposal, but Qin Tian stood in front and didn't say a word.

Li Shimin glanced at Qin Tian and asked, "Qin Aiqing, what do you think?" ”

"Shengshang, the minister thinks that there is no problem, the soldiers are only trained in the military camp, never know the cruelty of war, do not know the cruelty of war, and solve the problem that they will never be strong, but the minister is willing to use this opportunity to baptize them, however, the minister thinks that in order to quell the rebellion, the problem of the people of Jingzhou must be solved first, such as lack of food, such as locust plague and drought, please give an order to the saint to transfer the whole country's grain to Jingzhou for disaster relief."

After Qin Tian finished speaking, Hou Junji and Su Dingfang were red-faced, and they had a feeling of being slapped in the face, as if their realm was far from Qin Tian.

And just after Qin Tian finished speaking, the two of them immediately stood up: "Holy Lord, we don't have any problems either. ”

Seeing this situation, Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, after the three Aiqing go down, make preparations as soon as possible, and go straight to Jingzhou, what Qin Aiqing said just now also makes sense, pass the order down, and order all parts of the country to transport grain to Jingzhou for disaster relief." ”

The early dynasty retreated, Cheng Yanjin was a little stupid, because everyone seemed to ignore him, obviously he was the first to stand up and express his willingness to suppress the rebellion of the king of Chu, but everyone seemed to have forgotten him.

When he left the palace, the weather was very hot, Cheng Yanjin looked up and saw Qin Tian in front, so he chased after him directly.

"You kid, aren't you stupid?"

Qin Tian was stunned for a moment, and said puzzledly: "Why did Lu Guogong say this?" ”

"That Gao Shilian let you go, obviously to make you suffer, and even framed you, you even agreed to go, look at Hou Junji and Su Dingfang, how smart the two of them are, but in the end they were brought in by you."

Cheng Yanjin was a little resentful in his heart, he felt that if Qin Tian hadn't agreed to come down, the matter of leading the troops would definitely be his, and if he could pacify the rebels, he Cheng Yanjin would have to make meritorious service again.

In the future history books, it must be another strong stroke.

After Qin Tian heard Cheng Biting Jin's words, he smiled bitterly and said: "Lu Guogong, I really think that the Mad Demon Army should train in actual combat and accept the baptism of blood, otherwise it will be training in the military camp like this, and if they really go to the grassland to fight against the Turks, they are afraid that they are not strong enough, there is really nothing to frame and not frame, really!" ”
