In the first year of the Emperor's reign, on May 28, it is advisable to get married and funeral, and it is forbidden to move the ground.

Putting down the report in his hand, Emperor Yaoqi sighed softly, the world is impermanent, but there is always a law, and sometimes even if you want to change, you can't do it. Rubbing his swollen forehead, Emperor Yaoqi picked up the fold again and looked at it from the beginning.

Emperor Yaoqi's hand was on Zhao Yan, the governor of Shandong, and Emperor Yaoqi's plan to quietly eliminate the rebellion failed completely. It is very clearly remembered on the fold: On May 29, Xu Hongru, the owner of Wenxiangmen, announced a rebellion in Liangjialou between Yuncheng and Juye in Shandong. When Yao gathered 20,000 rebels, the first target of the rebels' attack was Yuncheng.

That night, Yuncheng County ordered Chen Fang and Zhang Fei, the general stationed in Yuncheng County, to lead 2,000 officers and troops to defend Yuncheng, and at dusk, the rebels attacked Yuncheng. The officers and soldiers did not retreat, and the rebels attacked Yuncheng for two hours without breaking the city, and suddenly the morale of the officers and soldiers increased greatly, and the morale of the rebels was hindered.

At this critical time, the rebels in Yuncheng should take advantage of the slack of officials and troops to attack and kill the officers and soldiers stationed at the city gate. After fierce battles and dozens of deep wounds, Yuncheng fought to the death of the total tension. Yuncheng Zhixian jumped down from the head of Yuncheng City and was martyred.

For this recital, Emperor Yaoqi knew that there was a deliberate rendering in it, but it was true that the magistrate of Yuncheng and the total two were killed. At this time, Emperor Yaoqi naturally would not be sent in to verify this matter, as long as he died, he would sacrifice his life for the country.

The rebellion has just begun, and there is a more important counterinsurgency behind it, and at this time there are such courtiers, so it is natural to publicize it. Whether it's true or not, now is not the time to pursue it. There is only one thing to do now, and that is to praise and reward, and set an example for future generations.

After thinking about this matter, Emperor Yaoqi continued to look down, and wrote: "After the loss of Yuncheng, the rebels did not stop and ran directly to Juye, after fierce battles day and night, Juye attacked the city, and Juye was also occupied by the rebels. Chen Linliang, the county governor of Juye, faced the Beijing division and waved his sword to kill himself. Juye General Wu Fangliang, fought to the death and did not retreat, and died in battle. ”

Emperor Yaoqi sighed softly, put down the fold in his hand again, and thought quietly with a calm face. The two county towns were occupied, and the military commanders and magistrates of the two counties were all dead. Emperor Yaoqi believed that these people didn't want to die, but there was no way. Seeing the scale of the rebels, they knew that sooner or later these troops would be exterminated by the imperial court, and surrendering them would not only implicate the clan, but also die even more ugly in the future. But if he dies in battle at this time, he will be loyal to the country, not only will he be able to leave his name in history, but he will also be able to be taken into the future. Such a choice, except for a fool who knows how to do it.

After thinking about it quietly, Emperor Yaoqi frowned slightly, and said to Wang Chengen on the side with a calm face: "Go and find Luo Sigong for me, and then send in the herald to convene the cabinet scholars, the six scholars, and the officials of the various ministries." ”

After Wang Chengen left, Emperor Yaoqi kept banging on the table, quietly contemplating. It was a matter of time before the rebellion was put down, and how to get what he wanted in this rebellion was what Emperor Yaoqi wanted.

After a short time, Luo Sigong walked in, his face was very ugly. Although Luo Sigong and Xu Xianchun did not deal with each other, he still agreed with Xu Xianchun's ability, and he didn't pay too much attention to the matter in Shandong this time. Since Xu Xianchun's secret report last time, Luo Sigong knew that things were probably going to be worse. I just received a secret report from Shandong, that is, Emperor Yaoqi is not looking for him, and Luo Sigong is also going to enter the palace to see Emperor Yaoqi.

Gently lifting up his clothes, Luo Sigong knelt on the ground and said: "The ministers and guards are all commanding Luo Sigong, see Your Majesty!" Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”

Slowly waving his hand, Emperor Yaoqi said indifferently: "Get up!" Aiqing's face is not very good? How is there any bad news? ”

"Your Majesty, something happened in Shandong." Luo Sigong bowed to Emperor Yaoqi, and said in a deep voice: "Jinyi Wei knows that Xu Xianchun is ineffective, but the ministers are ineffective in supervision, please punish Your Majesty!" ”

Shaking his head with a smile, Emperor Yaoqi said in a soft voice: "Get up!" This time, I was a little forced to get in. Xu Aiqing tried her best to do things for me, and I had already said it last time, and there was no merit. ”

Throwing the fold in his hand to Luo Sigong, Emperor Yaoqi said indifferently: "Aiqing, this is the fold of Sun Yanshang, the governor of Shandong, take a look!" After Luo Sigong finished reading, Emperor Yaoqi continued: "I'm very curious, why did the news of Jinyiwei come so slowly this time?" Isn't Xu Aiqing in Shandong? Why didn't you report the news? ”

"Your Majesty, this is the secret fold on Shandong's brocade guard, please take a look at it!" Raising the fold in his hand above his head, Luo Sigong said respectfully.

After receiving the recital handed over by Wang Chengen, Emperor Yaoqi slowly opened it and looked at it slowly. After reading this secret book, Emperor Yaoqi finally knew why Xu Xianchun had no news. It is very clear on the secret fold that Xu Xianchun took a ragtag army composed of officials and soldiers and Jinyi guards to arrest him, and the leader of this rebellion, Xu Hongru, the master of Wenxiangmen, was arrested. However, this line of entry seemed to have disappeared, and there was no trace of it when it left Yuncheng, and there was no news of this line of entry until Yuncheng was breached.

Sighing softly, Emperor Yaoqi said helplessly: "Xu Aiqing is probably more fierce this time, this matter will be kept secret first, and then we will talk about it after the rebellion is quelled." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty! Obey the order. Bowing to Emperor Yaoqi, Luo Sigong said in a deep voice.

Nodding with satisfaction, Emperor Yaoqi likes Luo Sigong even more now, and is loyal to himself, no matter what he says or what he asks him to do, he will do it regardless of the reason or discount. For such subordinates, Emperor Yaoqi naturally likes it very much, and the most important thing is that Luo Sigong is capable. The entire brocade guard is in his hands, like an arm and a finger, very secure, which is also the most important reason why Emperor Yaoqi values Luo Sigong.

"Your Majesty, the big entrants have already come, do you want to let them in?" Waving his hand to signal the little eunuch to leave, Wang Chengen came to Emperor Yaoqi's side and whispered.

Nodding slightly, Emperor Yaoqi smiled and said, "Luo Aiqing, you go!" You don't have to blame yourself too much about Shandong's affairs, it's not your responsibility! ”

"Yes, thank you for your grace, and I will take my leave!" Bowing to Emperor Yaoqi, Luo Sigong said gratefully.

When Luo Sigong left, Emperor Yaoqi said to Wang Chengen on the side: "Let them in!" ”

It didn't take long for all the ministers waiting outside to walk in, and when all the ministers stood up, Emperor Yaoqi handed over the performance of Sun Yan to Wang Chengen, and said indifferently: "Read! ”

Wang Chengen took the fold, read it slowly, and when he heard the content of the fold, all the people below were stunned. This letter is 800 miles urgent, directly submitted to the hands of Emperor Yaoqi, without any entry, at this time I heard that Shandong actually entered the rebellion, and even to the point of attacking the city and killing officials.

After reading the recital, the hall fell silent, and for a moment all the people looked at each other.

Looking at the entry below, Emperor Yaoqi coughed lightly and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, Aiqing, the matter has come to this, what is the best plan?" ”

The ministers present glanced at each other, and they understood in their hearts that there was still any way to come at this time, but to send troops to suppress them. It's just that the imperial court needs to set a main tone, whether to exterminate or appease. Every time an army is sent to quell a rebellion, this is an important issue. As long as this problem is solved, then the next step is to send in.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Xu Hongru is using the flow of the cult to bewitch him, which is really a heinous crime, and he should be punished properly. This thief openly rebelled, and he should be killed, and he asked His Majesty to send troops to suppress and quell the rebellion. Just when everyone was pondering the idea of Emperor Yaoqi, a minister stood up, and it was Xiong Wencan, the new secretary of the military department.

Looking at Xiong Wencan, who had a righteous face, the ministers in the hall looked at each other differently, some were contempt, some were admired, and some were regretful. Everyone knew that it was a certain thing to be sent to counterinsurgency, so they didn't stand up, but they didn't expect that a moment of negligence actually allowed Xiong Wencan to take advantage of the loophole.

Emperor Yaoqi looked at the ministers below, and he didn't know whether to laugh or be angry, these things just couldn't change this aggressive problem. Emperor Yaoqi also knew that Xiong Wencan was talking nonsense, but he couldn't treat it as nonsense, so he had to ask in a deep voice: "What do you think Aiqing?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister feels that what Xiong Dajin said is very reasonable, and these wrongdoers must be strictly punished. Xiong Dajin once fought against the Japanese and knew the military affairs, and was the first to advocate sending troops to suppress the entry, and the minister strongly advocated Xiong Dajin to serve as the supervisor and preside over the counterinsurgency. Hearing Emperor Yaoqi's question, there was immediately an entry station that came out, and this entry was Wu Liangsi, the head of the household department.

The people in the hall looked at each other again, even if Xiong Wencan was a little clever, he would directly recommend him to quell the rebellion! Some people seem to feel that something is wrong with the limelight, and they have made up their minds that they will not say a word about this matter.

Emperor Yaoqi groaned slightly, glanced at Xiong Wencan, and nodded slowly, Emperor Yaoqi fully trusted Xiong Wencan's ability. Looking at Liu Yijing to the side, Emperor Yaoqi asked in a deep voice: "Liu Aiqing, what do you think of this matter?" ”

Seeing Emperor Yaoqi ask himself, Liu Yijing knew that he should speak, and after a deep sigh, he said slowly: "Sending troops to suppress the rebellion is understandable, and it is only natural to choose a superintendent." Xiong Dajin was selected in terms of qualifications, wheel control, and ability, and the minister felt that Xiong Dajin was suitable. ”

Xiong Wencan, who was standing on the side, was already stunned, hating himself in his heart, he really shouldn't play this little clever. Now the yellow mud is off the crotch, it's not but!
