Chapter 201: Xiao Liang's Civil Strife (3)
The news of Dong Jingzhen's rebellion 'rebellion' reached Jiangling, and Xiao Mo was overjoyed when he heard it, and immediately summoned Cen Wenwen:
"Text! Have you seen the emergency paperwork? ”
"Your Majesty, the minister has just gotten the news, congratulations Your Majesty, everything is in your hands!" Xiao Mo heard Cen Wenwen's sycophancy, and his heart was even more happy:
"Text! Isn't it time for us to take the next step!? Cen Wenwen nodded. Xiao Mo immediately found Zhang Xiu, Yang Daosheng and others who stayed in Jiangling and cried:
"National misfortune! Out of this traitor. Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know if you have any good solutions to this crisis? "The people present heard the news of Dong Jingzhen's rebellion, and their reactions were different, Yang Daosheng first said:
"Your Majesty, the minister has just received the news that Li Tang's Xiazhou Assassin Xu Shao is recruiting troops and horses in Xiazhou and training troops on a large scale, and he has received Li Yuan's holy decree, saying that Dong Jingzhen has formed an alliance with Li Tang, and wants to cooperate with the outside and subvert our dynasty." Yang Daosheng's defense is the closest to Li Tang, so his news is the most accurate and reliable. In addition, Dong Jingzhen borrowed the matter of the whole army before, withheld their salaries, and said in the court that they used the old and weak to replace the young and strong, and ate empty quotas, and their faces were torn, and now many people want him to die. Xiao Mo stared at the reactions of the people present, and sneered in his heart: "Hmph! Get rid of Dong Jingzhen first, and then get rid of you, this Liang Guoxia will be up to me when the time comes. He looked at it coldly and found that there was only one person who did not speak—Zhang Xiu, the king of Qi.
"Why doesn't King Qi speak!" Among the princes and kings, Xiao Mian is most afraid of Zhang Xiu, his mind is the most meticulous among everyone, and he is Dong Jingzhen's old department, occupying Lingnan, if he does not let go and unite with Dong Jingzhen, the battle situation is still unknown? Zhang Xiu heard Xiao Mo ask himself, and other people also looked at him, and he felt a lot of pressure in his heart.
"King Qi shouldn't be Gu Dong Jingzhen's kindness back then! King Qi, you must know that you are now Xiao Liang's courtier, don't forget your duty as a courtier, and who gave you the title of King of Qi. Moreover, if Dong Jingzhen raised an army to rebel because of his 'private' grudge with me, I could pardon him for his capital crime and only remove him from his title, but now he is colluding with Li Tang to take the 'life' of all of us, so such a traitor cannot stay. Hearing Xiao Miao's heart-wrenching words, Zhang Xiu's heart struggled - back then, he was Dong Jingzhen's subordinate, and it was Dong Jingzhen who led him to raise troops against Sui, and now he has become the king of Qi, and he has listed the territory and sealed the territory, it can be said that if there is no Dong Jingzhen, there will be no Zhang Xiu today. However, regardless of whether Dong Jingzhen colluded with Li Tang or not, his rebellion against Xiao Liang had already happened, and if he didn't express his position, his net worth and life would definitely be lost.
"Please make the decision of the Holy Cadres, and the ministers will receive the order!"
"Good! King Qi really understands the righteousness, I am very happy, and I know that King Qi is outstanding in martial arts, and the commander of this campaign against the thief Dong Jingzhen is King Lao Qi, and several other princes assist, I don't know if other princes have objections? Of course, the other people were willing to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and said yes to Xiao Mo together. After Zhang Xiu left Xiao Miao's hall, he only felt that there was a dark cloud coming towards him in the sky.
Changsha City, since Dong Jingzhen issued a rebellion 'rebellion' announcement, people in Changsha City immediately panicked, and a large number of Changsha residents ran out of the four Changsha city 'gates':
"Run, everybody! The King of Jin rebelled. ”
"The thieves have entered the city, and we are going to suffer." Dong Jingzhen heard the report of the guards of the city 'gate' and was furious:
"'Bastard'! This king has been guarding Changsha for so many years, and he can't imagine that if he reverses this faint king, this king will immediately become a thief. It really doesn't make sense. "The guard muttered in his heart: 'You yourself only know that you are expropriating and expropriating, which is like the Holy One, who ordered a reduction in taxes as soon as he ascended the throne, and said that he would return to the peasants with a halt. Of course, everyone doesn't want to fight anymore, they want to farm. I thought so in my heart, but my mouth did not dare to say this:
"'Bastard'! It's all a bunch of ungrateful things, giving this king a decree to hang the 'gate' of the city at once, and if anyone wants to go out of the 'gate' of the city, let his body go out. ”
"What? Lord, isn't this it? ”
"What is this? Don't hurry up yet! "The guards had to give orders, and when the soldiers heard the order, they had no choice but to close the city gates, and as soon as the people saw that they were going to close the city gates, they rushed to the city gates one by one, and the soldiers tried their best to block them, and slashed and stabbed the people with their swords and guns. Many of the soldiers are Changsha natives, even if they are not Changsha natives, they have families in Changsha, and their eyes are full of tears in the screams of the people. What Dong Jingzhen didn't know was that it was precisely because he did this that he was one step closer to death.
