Chapter 47: Grief-stricken
With a "bang", a paperweight hit the unlucky eunuch's head, and then fell to the ground and shattered into several pieces, the eunuch rolled his eyes and fell to the ground before he could say a word, and the rest of the eunuchs hurriedly ran up and carried him out.
Shen Keqing on the side was sweating profusely, swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything when the words came to his mouth.
With another "bang", the bookcase was kicked over, and the scrolls, pens, ink, and inkstones placed on it were scattered on the ground, and the ink splashed on Shen Keqing, and he didn't dare to dodge in the slightest.
In front of him, Chen Shubao, the Son of Heaven, was like an angry tiger, walking back and forth in a frenzy, the monarch with a murderous sword in his hand, it was just a matter of one sentence to take people's lives, Shen Keqing did not dare to make the slightest superfluous move at this time, so as not to anger Chen Shubao and lose his life.
The former free son of heaven is now thunderous, waving his arms, his face is pale, his eyes are round, and he is panting.
"Traitor, traitor! I'm going to take these rebels one by one..."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Shubao's body suddenly swayed, and when he saw that he was about to fall to the ground, Shen Keqing and the eunuchs around him rushed forward to support him, and saw Chen Shubao's eyes closed and his lips purple, and the two were frightened.
"Imperial Doctor, quickly send the Imperial Doctor!"
Before the imperial doctor arrived, Chen Shubao woke up slowly, the eyes of the Son of Heaven at this time were red, obviously grief-stricken, Shen Keqing cried in his heart when he saw this: The Son of Heaven is crying in front of him now, which can be described as a serious gaffe, and there will be a knot in the future...
In order not to be hated by the official family in the future, Shen Keqing took the first step and cried: "The official family takes care of the dragon body!" If the official family has three longs and two shorts, who will take care of the country..."
Shen Keqing cried first, and Chen Shubao cried, he had never been so sad, even when the first emperor died, he was not so sad now, after all, it was a mixture of joy and sorrow at that time, and now, only his heart is like a knife.
Only then did the eunuch come to report, saying that the forbidden soldiers and horses who rushed to Waguan Temple fought with the rebels at the Chanling Bridge, because the number of rebels was large, and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and they were blocked in the north of the Chanling Bridge, and the rebels then set fire to the bridge to cut off the traffic between the two sides of the strait.
The forbidden army was not able to approach the Waguan Temple, but that didn't matter, because the concubine's Luan drove had already arrived in the south of the Chanling Bridge, and the forbidden army who rushed to the aid was a step late: Luan was attacked, the soldiers accompanying the forbidden army were killed, the palace maids were humiliated, and the concubine was also taken away by the rebel army, and her life and death were uncertain.
When Chen Shubao heard this bad news, he was stunned on the spot, did not say a word, his eyes were glazed, and then he had a hysterical attack, and then he was so angry that he almost fainted.
Chen Shubao, who had been crying for a while, had a sad face, according to the eunuch's relay, the soldiers of the forbidden army saw the concubine being taken away by the rebels, and when he thought that his stunning concubine fell into the hands of those traitors, she would inevitably be ravaged day and night to the point that she was not human, and he couldn't help but burst into tears.
Why is this happening? Why is this happening?
Chen Shubao really couldn't understand that Wang Shi had now fought Jiangbei and was recovering Huainan Prefecture, Chen Guo had already passed the most difficult time, and he had already ordered the arrears of rewards to be reissued, why did those soldiers still rebel.
Such an ungrateful person, not only launched a rebellion to burn and loot everywhere, but also dared to kidnap his beloved concubine, which is really a punishment!
Thinking of Zhang Lihua's voice and smile, and thinking of Zhang Lihua's current situation, Chen Shubao felt that his heart was dripping blood, it was dusk at this time, and it had been half a day since the rebellion broke out in Nandaying, and his concubine had probably been given by many people....
The raging anger burned in his heart again, Chen Shubao stood up suddenly, and was about to transfer troops, but he felt that the world was spinning, and he almost fainted, Shen Keqing didn't dare to be careless when he saw this, and helped Chen Shubao to sit down.
He relied on the grace of the Son of Heaven to be able to participate in the secret, once Chen Shubao has three long and two short, after the crown prince ascends the throne, several of them are afraid that they will be thrown out by the empress dowager to calm the anger of the public.
Chen Shubao doted on Zhang Lihua, so after learning the bad news, he was so angry that he fainted twice, and Shen Keqing was afraid that a third time would lead to irreparable consequences, so he couldn't help but try his best to persuade him.
"Needless to say, immediately, send troops to attack the southern camp and arrest that group of rebels!"
"But the official family, didn't it have been agreed before, first stick to the Qinhuai River, and gather the Jingkou and quarrying garrisons to return...."
Shen Keqing couldn't go on halfway through his words, because Chen Shubao was staring at him viciously, like a man-eating beast staring maliciously, and at that moment, Shen Keqing only felt a chill on his back.
"Quick, send troops immediately!"
。。。。。。
In front of the Taiji Palace, civil and military officials gathered in the west hall, discussing the rebellion that broke out in Nandaying, among these people, there are Shang Shu Ling Jiang Zong, who is close to the Son of Heaven, and there are also Shang Shu servants who are not treated by the Son of Heaven on weekdays.
The white-haired Mr. Jiang, full of wealth, often accompanies the Son of Heaven to banquets, and Kong Fan and others are criticized as guests of play, but as a Taiwanese assistant, he never advises the Son of Heaven to focus on state affairs.
Shang Shubao shot Yuan Xian, who was upright and upright, for the matter of Chen Yin, the king of Wuxing (abolished prince), was rejected by Chen Shubao, but the Son of Heaven also knew that Yuan Xian was dedicated to the country, so he let him participate in the secret.
Less than an hour ago, Chen Shubao convened all the ministers to discuss how to quell the rebellion in Nandaying, and according to the news he kept receiving, he made a decision, that is, to stick to it and wait for help.
There are all kinds of indications that the rebels who participated in the mutiny seem to have colluded with each other for a long time, otherwise there would not have been such a large scale, and there is a mastermind behind the scenes, but no human and material evidence has been found, and it is impossible to find out who it is.
The main force of the Wang Division is fighting in Huainan, and the Jiankang garrison is relatively weak, and the other party took this opportunity to instigate some soldiers in Jiankang City to rebel, which is a gap, and it is unknown whether the other party has a backhand, so the court should be cautious in dealing with the rebellion.
The forbidden army guarding Taicheng could not attack easily, lest it fall into the plan of diverting the tiger from the mountain, and the soldiers and horses to quell the rebellion had to be transferred from Jingkou and quarrying.
The officers and troops in the city only need to hold the north bank of the Qinhuai River and stop attacking easily, so that the rebellious troops can be pressed south of the Qinhuai River, and when the reinforcements arrive, the rebellion will inevitably disappear.
This strategy was agreed to by Chen Shubao, but when the news of Zhang Guifei's murder came, the Son of Heaven was furious, and then ordered to send troops to attack Nan Daying, a risky move, but no one dared to oppose it.
The Son of Heaven favored Zhang Guifei, Zhang Guifei was victimized by the traitor, and it was natural for the Son of Heaven to send troops to attack in grief.
It's just that in this way, everyone always feels that something is wrong, but Taicheng is heavily guarded, even if some forbidden troops are dispatched to attack, it should be no problem, and there are other soldiers and horses stationed in Health City and nearby, and it is no problem to defend Taicheng.
The ministers are now worried about the Son of Heaven, once the Son of Heaven is grief-stricken, it will be really not good.
Now that Chen Guogang has a tendency to improve, the ministers are praying that there will be no extraneous branches, the rebellion in Nandaying is a disease of scabies, and the safety of the Son of Heaven is a huge hidden danger that endangers the society of the country.
The ministers discussed a lot in the west hall of the Taiji Palace, and the east hall of the Taiji Hall was also quite lively, and the overcrowded West Hall was the same, there were also many people in the East Hall, but the people in the hall were different from the West Hall, all of them were the kings of the clan and their sons.
Chen Shuying, the king of Yuzhang, led the forbidden army to stand, with a saber in his hand, intentionally or unintentionally inspecting the people in the hall, he was ordered by the Son of Heaven to gather the children of the clan to wait in the east hall of the Taiji Palace, and at the same time, he was responsible for monitoring the other party.
The first emperor died, leaving more than 40 sons, the eldest son (crown prince) Chen Shubao ascended the throne and succeeded to the throne, the second son Chen Shuling had died in Xiyang, Huangzhou many years ago, and the fourth son Chen Shujian was also captured by the Zhou army not long after, so the third ranked Chen Shuying became the head of the clan.
Now, he looked at the forty or so younger brothers, both young and old, plus his sons, and several cousins and their sons, and wondered if there was one of these people who was behind the rebellion or an accomplice.
The Son of Heaven has an order, if there is someone in the clan who is ready to move, he can cut it first and then play.
