"How is that possible! They are all Holy Religious Emissaries and are invulnerable! How can it hurt? ”

"That's right! And put his hands into the oil pot before, why can Your Majesty, the army of the imperial court, and so can we? ”

"And that ghost slayer, what the hell is going on?"

The people of the rebels below were talking, and they all had puzzled expressions on their faces! For the White Lotus Sect's methods, they finally stopped believing in it!

"Are people from the Propaganda Department here?" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, they're all here!" Wu Jue stood beside Zhao Chen and said.

"Let them go in among the people and talk to them about it!" Zhao Chen said.

Wu Jue nodded, and at that moment Wu Jue instructed those propaganda officials to enter the people and explain to the people the principles of sticking their hands into the oil pot without injury, killing ghosts, invulnerability, etc.! These are some commonly used deception techniques in the rivers and lakes, but at this time, the consultation is unusually backward, and the people do not understand the truth at all, so they will be deceived!

Although Zhao Chen's voice was loud just now, the number of rebels was too much, and only a small part of them could really hear Zhao Chen's words clearly! Now that hundreds of propaganda officials have entered the rebel army, they can explain to everyone!

In the ninth month of the lunar calendar, the weather is unusually cool, and because of this, 100,000 people will not feel uncomfortable here!

After two hours, it was not until noon that more than 100,000 people below understood the principle of those deceptions, and there was an uproar among the people of the righteous army again!

"It turns out that we were deceived by the White Lotus Sect! Everything they said was false, but I am afraid that the White Lotus Shengshi is also completely false! ”

"What kind of childless mother, I'm afraid it's also fake! What a vacuum hometown, it's a complete lie to us! ”

"Your Majesty spares your life! The grass people and others were also deceived by the cult, I didn't know they were so treacherous! ”

"Your Majesty spares your life! The grass people would never dare to do such a thing again! ”

"Your Majesty, forgive us!"

More than 100,000 people of the righteous army fell to their knees again, begging Zhao Chen! In the end, almost all the righteous soldiers fell to their knees and looked at Zhao Chen with pleading eyes!

"You are all the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and you are all the people of me! This time, because of the bewitchment of the White Lotus Sect, you rebelled, and many people died here last night! These are the sins of the White Lotus Sect! Zhao Chen said.

"Yes! These are the sins of the White Lotus Sect! ”

"The cult really deserves death!"

"Your Majesty, these have nothing to do with us!"

"The cult is treacherous, this is what happened this time! I have decided to forgive your sins! Zhao Chen said!

"Ahh That's great! ”

"Your Majesty is merciful!"

"Long live Your Majesty!"

At the moment, countless rebels and ordinary people kowtowed to Zhao Chen! Some people in the back didn't hear Zhao Chen's words clearly, but when they saw the scene in front and heard the complicated words of the righteous soldiers and people in front, they already knew what was going on, and they also knelt down and kowtowed to Zhao Chen!

"Not only do I want to forgive you for your crimes, but I have also decided to implement a rent reduction order in the Sichuan and Shu areas!" Zhao Chen said again.

"Rent reduction order? What is that? The rebels below all had surprised expressions on their faces!

"From now on, the land rent in Sichuan and Shu shall not exceed 30%! The land in the landlord's house must not be idle! If it is idle, it will be officially owned immediately! Zhao Chen said.

"Oh my God! There is such a policy! Doesn't it mean that you will only have to pay 30% of the rent in the future? ”

"This is really the emperor's grace!"

"We were bewitched by the White Lotus Cult and committed chaos, Your Majesty not only did not blame the past, but even implemented a rent reduction order!"

The rebels below were first in disbelief, then ecstatic in their hearts! Over the years, although Hanzhong, Guanshan, and Northwest China have already implemented rent reduction orders, and although the official gentry class in Sichuan and Shu have known about the rent reduction order, most of the ordinary people don't know about it! I was so excited to hear the news this time!

However, many of the elders, altar owners, and incense owners in the righteous army were from official gentry, and they were disheartened for a while when they heard Zhao Chen personally say that he would implement the "rent reduction order"! The reason why they participated in the White Lotus Sect was precisely to prevent the implementation of the rent reduction order! Not only that, but they have also been hiding the news of the rent reduction order from ordinary people! Now they want to oppose it, but in today's situation, they can't oppose it at all! If any of them stood up against them, they feared that the people below would be the first to tear them apart! Moreover, they are traitors, Zhao Chen is already a great kindness to them in the past, and now they dare to oppose Zhao Chen's policy, which is obviously ignorant of elevation, I am afraid that the surrounding officers and soldiers will kill them immediately!

"It seems that this rent reduction order can be implemented in all parts of Sichuan and Shu! After the rent reduction order was implemented, it was only the greedy gentry who suffered! The peasants' enthusiasm for growing grain has increased, they have surplus money in their hands, there is more material circulation, the tax revenue of the imperial court is naturally more, and I also have more money to form an army! Moreover, the Propaganda Department can also really enter Sichuan and Shu, and from now on, Sichuan, Hanzhong, Guanshan, and Northwest China will be like a piece of iron, firmly hugging together, following closely by my side, and realizing my dream...... It is also to realize the dream of the nation and let the nation rise! Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhao Chen was also extremely excited in his heart, he clenched his fists tightly, and really wanted to look up to the sky and roar!

******

In the afternoon of the same day, 150,000 rebels began to return to Mianyang!

They were slow when they came, but now they are going back to their homes, and they are very fast!

Those propaganda officials are still deep among the people at this moment, and they have blamed all the disasters on the White Lotus Sect this time! Including last night, many people trampled to death, all because of the White Lotus Sect's bewitchment!

More than 100,000 people regretted it, and they kept accusing the White Lotus Sect, needless to say!

In the early morning of September 23, more than 100,000 people returned to Mianyang! Some of them are Mianyang people, some are Guangyuan people, and those Guangyuan people continue to return to Guangyuan!

Wu Jue's army regained Mianyang without much effort!

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhao Chen, Wu Jue and others came to the main altar of the White Lotus Sect, but after arriving here, they only found that it was empty, and there was no one left! Zhao Chen shook his head, knowing that it would be difficult to completely eliminate the upper echelons of the White Lotus Sect!

On September 26, Zhao Chen and Wu Jie led the army to recover Guangyuan! And here they did not meet any resistance either!

On the first day of October, they came to the bottom of the Sword Gate!

When they arrived here, they found that the Sword Gate Pass was also empty, and there were no officers and soldiers here!

"This Wang Song is really damn bad! I handed over the Sword Gate Pass to him to guard, and he actually handed over the Sword Gate Pass to the White Lotus Sect! This sword gate is closed, up and down, I'm afraid it's all White Lotus Sect disciples! Wu Jue gritted his teeth and said.

"Forget it, Wang Song is dead! I'm afraid that the remnants of the White Lotus Sect have all been hidden now, and it is impossible to find them in a short period of time! Zhao Chen said.

"In the future, I will always pay attention to the White Lotus Sect and not let the remnants of the White Lotus Sect live in Sichuan and Shu!" Wu Jue said.

"Sichuan and Shu have been in turmoil since the seventh day of July, and it is time for them to calm down! Those forces in Sichuan and Shu who resisted us should have died in the cult uprising! It's time to gather the army and restore calm everywhere! In addition, I will notify the Zhongshu Province and the Propaganda Department to let them enter Sichuan! In the next six months, Sichuan and Shu will vigorously implement the rent reduction order, and the Propaganda Department will also carry out similar propaganda work to Hanzhong and Guanshan! We still have a lot to do! Zhao Chen said.

"Yes!" Wu Jie nodded.

The two of them discussed major matters at the gate of Jianmen Pass, not to mention it!

******

At this moment, in a small hill north of Guangyuan, there is an unusually remote village here, and there are hundreds of people in the village!

It's just that unlike ordinary people, the people here all practice martial arts, and many of them are strong in martial arts!

Many of them are from the rivers and lakes at first glance, different from ordinary villagers!

It's dusk, the sun is setting, and the remnant sun is like blood!

A woman dressed in white stands on a boulder outside the village, looking into the distance! She was about thirty years old, with a beautiful face and a sword at her waist!

Not long after, a beautiful young man came below, but if you look closely, it is a woman! She also came to the boulder, saluted the middle-aged woman, and said, "Master, everyone has arrived!" Uncle Zhong and Senior Brother Yang have returned! Many of the elders of the church have returned! ”

The middle-aged woman nodded and said, "Let's go see them!" ”

Soon the middle-aged woman and the woman in men's clothes got down from it and returned to the village, and in a courtyard, they saw Zhong Xiang, Yang Mo and others who had fled back, and Elder Liu and others were also here!

Zhong Xiang and Yang Mo had ashamed faces, and both of them lowered their heads!

"Let's go in and sit down and talk!" The middle-aged woman is naturally the queen of demons, she spoke.

Everyone nodded and entered the next room!

After entering it, everyone sat down, and the demon queen looked at Zhong Xiang and said, "Senior Brother Zhong, you led more than 100,000 righteous troops, but the whole army was wiped out, what crime should you be guilty of?" ”

"Sect Master! This is not a crime of war! Our more than 100,000 rebels have no organization, no training, no weapons, many of them are old men in their sixties and seventies, and children are seven or eight years old. Zhong Xiang said.

"So, you don't think you're guilty in the slightest?" The men's woman is Song Qingyao, Song Qingyao snorted coldly and said.

"Naturally, I am guilty! I shouldn't have rushed it! We can actually occupy Mianyang and Guangyuan and defend both sides of Shu Road! Then train the army, and then fight to the death with the court! In fact, it is wrong for us to launch an uprising in Sichuan and Shu! Zhong Xiang said.

"Oh? I don't know what's wrong? "The Demon Queen said.

"The Sichuan and Shu areas are rich, and the people are comfortable, so naturally they will not rebel against the imperial court! Since ancient times, those who rebelled against the imperial court were untouchables like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang who couldn't survive! Those untouchables have no food or drink, they can't live, they can only rebel! If you rebel, you will be killed, and if you don't rebel, you will starve to death immediately! If we in the White Lotus Sect want to make trouble, we can only use these untouchables who can't survive! Zhong Xiang said.

The Demon Queen froze there, and nodded after a moment.

"Actually, Sect Master, although we have lost now, we still have a chance!" After a while, Zhong Xiang said again.

"What chance?" The Demon Queen.

"Now the little emperor of Xuanwu is in Sichuan and Shu! If we can kill this little emperor, Sichuan and Shu will definitely be in chaos, then this is our chance! We can convince the court officials of Sichuan and Shu, and persuade Wu Jue and others to naturally let Sichuan and Shu belong to our Holy Sect! Zhong Xiang said.

"Kill the little emperor?" The demon queen was stunned!

"Not bad! Use all the power of our Holy Sect and gather all the masters to kill the little emperor Xuanwu in one fell swoop! A fierce light flashed in Zhong Xiang's eyes, and he said.
