Early in the morning of December 25, 426 of the Great Jin Dynasty, the early dynasty in the Taiyuan Hall of the Imperial Palace of Canglong City had just begun, Liu Heng, the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, sat on the emperor's throne and yawned, looking at the hundreds of high-ranking officials of the Great Jin Dynasty on both sides of the main hall, while the Empress Dowager Zhou sat behind Liu Heng and separated it with a curtain.

A eunuch standing in front of Liu Heng shouted in a voice like a male duck: "Something to play - nothing to retreat from-"

Dou Yan, the chief lieutenant of the military department, suddenly came out and said loudly: "Empress Dowager Qi, Emperor, there is a shocking news from Qianzhou, the Taishou and guerrilla general Liu Ji of Qianzhou Jue'an County, who has started a war against Gaochang State in the Western Regions without authorization, and now has captured the two vassal states of Gaochang State, Zhuqi State and Suju State, and the minister thinks that Liu Ji's contempt for the imperial court must be severely punished, otherwise officials from all over the country will follow Liu Ji's example, then our Great Jin will be chaotic!" ”

Immediately afterwards, Yang Zhong, the chief lieutenant of the Ministry of Officials, also came out and said: "The minister seconded the proposal, Liu Ji, the Taishou of Qianzhou Ju'an County and the guerrilla general, is simply bold, you must know that Gaochang is one of the four great powers in the Western Regions, not only has millions of troops itself, but also can mobilize millions of soldiers and horses from dozens of subject countries, Liu Ji privately sent troops to the Western Regions, which is equivalent to provoking a strong enemy for our Great Jin!" ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!" "The minister seconded the proposal!" ……

After Dou Yan, the captain of the military department, and Yang Zhong, the chief lieutenant of the Ministry of Officials, finished speaking, dozens of ministers came out one after another, all hoping that the imperial court would severely punish Liu Ji.

Liu Heng, the son of the Great Jin Dynasty, did not sleep well last night, he received a secret report from Liu Chong, the governor of Qianzhou yesterday, and the top of this secret report detailed the causes and consequences of Liu Ji's invasion of the Western Regions after defeating a Khitan army, and attached Liu Ji's capture of Zhuqi and Xuju.

Liu Heng read this secret report, and his mood could not be calmed down for a long time, as an ambitious emperor, Liu Heng hoped that he could become a great Jin Dynasty to expand his territory, but now he is not in charge of the government, and the power in his hands is very limited, let alone expanding the territory for the Great Jin Dynasty, even the court of the Great Jin Dynasty, Liu Heng can't control it.

And the Taishou of Jue'an County, who was only two years older than himself, had already led his troops to the Western Regions to recover his homeland, which made Liu Heng surprised at the same time, and couldn't help but feel a little envious in his heart, last night, Liu Heng took the secret report of Liu Chong, the governor of Qianzhou, and read it many times, but he didn't sleep well.

Hearing that dozens of court ministers such as Dou Yan, the captain of the Ministry of War, and Yang Zhong, the captain of the Ministry of Officials, participated in Liu Ji's book on the grounds that Liu Ji had started a war against the Western Regions, Liu Heng's face suddenly changed, and he wanted to open his mouth to refute these ministers, you must know that more than a hundred years ago, what wished his country and Suju country, but they were all subject countries of the Great Jin Dynasty, Liu Ji's move was to recover his homeland, and if the court did not reward him, how could he still be punished?

However, Liu Heng opened his mouth, thinking that he had no right to participate in political affairs at all, and it was just an ornament in the court, and the political affairs of the Great Jin Dynasty were currently decided by the six Taiwei and Mrs. Zhou, Liu Heng immediately clenched his fists and did not speak.

Behind the curtain, the Empress Dowager Zhou, seeing that dozens of ministers came out to demand severe punishment of Liu Ji, the Empress Dowager Zhou's brows couldn't help frowning, "The Taishou of Qianzhou Ju'an County and the guerrilla general Liu Ji are good at starting the war, and they should indeed be severely punished, the problem is that now that Liu Ji has laid down the country of Zhuqi and the country of Suju, Gao Changguo will definitely not give up and punish Liu Ji, so who will resist Gao Changguo's army?" And that Liu Ji's command heard that there are already hundreds of thousands of troops, what if Liu Ji is forced to rebel? ”

Dou Yan, the captain of the Ministry of War, Yang Zhong, the captain of the Ministry of Rites, Wang Zhihuan, the captain of the Ministry of Rites, Zhao Boran, the captain of the Criminal Department, Sun Mingtao, the captain of the Ministry of Industry, and Zheng Kai, the captain of the household department, exchanged glances with each other, and then Dou Yan, the captain of the Ministry of War, said respectfully: "Queen Mother, if Liu Ji dares to rebel, the minister is willing to lead the forbidden army to go to Qianzhou in person, as for Gaochangguo, we can send envoys to explain to Gaochang people, and return Zhu Qiguo and Suju country to Gaochang unconditionally, and we can also make some appropriate compensation, presumably Gaochangguo will not be too much." ”

Before, several of the thirteen top families of the Great Jin Dynasty sent people to win over Liu Ji, but unfortunately Liu Ji did not enter the oil and salt, since he could not get on the same boat, then the important ministers of the thirteenth family naturally would not have any more kindness to Liu Ji, so dozens of ministers jointly participated in Liu Ji's book.

And there are several important ministers of the thirteenth family, who already have a peep at the army under Liu Ji and the entire Ji'an County, if the imperial court can punish Liu Ji, then they will use their own means to fight for the army under Liu Ji and the entire Ji'an County.

After listening to the words of Dou Yan, the chief lieutenant of the military department, Liu Heng, the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, finally couldn't help it, "Captain Dou, I think it should still be safe, the example of Zhang Mingqi in Suzhou has already made our Great Jin a little anxious!" ”

Liu Heng's words suddenly made the faces of many ministers below show embarrassment.

Suzhou is located in the southeast of the Great Jin Dynasty, under the jurisdiction of nine counties and a state capital Lijiang City, Zhang Mingqi was originally a county magistrate in Suzhou, and is the son of a local Haoqiang family.

Because Suzhou suffered a once-in-a-century flood this year, there are many people in Suzhou, and it has correspondingly become a paradise for rogues.

Zhang Mingqi as a county order, in response to the call of the imperial court, in his own county, organized a local army belonging to the county government, Zhang Mingqi himself is strong in martial arts, there are several fierce generals under his command, under the leadership of Zhang Mingqi, his army first swept away the rogue in the county, and then successively defeated a number of invading rogues, Zhang Mingqi also sent troops to nearby counties many times, to help these counties, to exterminate the local rogues.

In Zhang Mingqi's battle against the Liukou, after each battle, he selected the young and strong men captured by the Liukou and added them to his own army, so that the army in Zhang Mingqi's hands was like a snowball, and the strength swelled rapidly, reaching more than 40,000 people in a short period of time.

At this time, Zhang Mingqi's army suddenly fell into the eyes of some important ministers of the Thirteenth Family, so some important ministers who wanted to take this army of more than 40,000 people into their pockets deducted Zhang Mingqi for fornication, and after preparing to punish Zhang Mingqi, he arranged for the children of his family to take over the army of more than 40,000 people.

As a result, he didn't expect it to be self-defeating, that Zhang Mingqi learned that the imperial court was going to destroy him on the charge of fornicating with the rogues, so he did not hesitate to rebel, and immediately launched an attack on the surrounding counties, and Lian Ke Lianjie, some rogues in Suzhou, learned that Zhang Mingqi had rebelled against the court, and they took refuge under Zhang Mingqi.

Now the army under Zhang Mingqi has expanded to hundreds of thousands, and most of Suzhou has fallen into Zhang Mingqi's hands.
