The three scholars of the cabinet were summoned by Zhu Houzhao into the leopard room, and the monarch and ministers discussed in the leopard room for two hours before they came out.

After the scholar left the leopard room, a small eunuch hurried to the Hou mansion and was ordered by His Majesty to declare Qin Kan to enter the leopard room.

Qin Kan sat at home and smiled bitterly.

Sure enough, he found him, and he couldn't hide, it seems that Zhu Houzhao and the three scholars in the cabinet have reached an agreement, otherwise it would be impossible to announce him into the leopard room so quickly.

Changing into a python robe and a crown, Qin Kan rode into the city in a carriage and entered the leopard room.

Walk into the leopard room dormitory, there is a sparse shuffling sound inside, Qin Kan's invention of mahjong and deeply attracted Zhu Houzhao, now Zhu Houzhao in addition to feeding tigers and leopards every day and watching juggling, the biggest hobby left is to play mahjong, call three eunuchs to play happily, of course, the premise of "not happy" is that Zhu Houzhao's hand style is very smooth, the number of winning cards is more, otherwise the atmosphere when playing cards is not "happy", but "lightning and thunder".

Qin Kan walked to the door of the dormitory, and the eunuch on duty guarding the door was naturally familiar with Qin Kan, so he smiled at him kindly, bowed slightly and stretched out his hand to invite him in.

Walking into the dormitory, Qin Kan felt a low pressure coming towards him, the hall was very quiet, only the occasional mahjong and the table collided, Zhu Houzhao's dragon robe placket was completely loosened, and he looked at the table with a red face, his eyes spewed a terrifying murderous aura, Zhang Yong, Gu Dayong, and Dai Yi sat together, and Zhu Houzhao's murderous appearance was completely opposite, the three of them were in a cold sweat, their faces were pale, and their hands touching the cards seemed to be trembling slightly, looking like they were forced to become prostitutes.

Qin Kan sighed secretly.

Obviously, Zhu Houzhao is not going well today. The rotten cards are starting to take off.

The attention of the four people in the hall was all on the card table, and they didn't realize that Qin Kan walked in, and Qin Kan didn't squeak, and stood quietly not far away.

"Play the cards! You can't lift your hands when you're old, do you? Zhu Houzhao glared at Zhang Yong viciously.

Although Zhang Yong has now succeeded Liu Jin as the master of ceremonies, but in front of Zhu Houzhao is still a slave of the heavenly family, Zhu Houzhao Zhang Yong trembled with fright, and did not look at what card in his hand, trembling and drawing a card out casually, while playing carefully looked at Zhu Houzhao's face, his eyes were full of horror.

"Eight...... 80,000 ......"

"Huh?" Zhu Houzhao's eyes widened. Eyes with a fierce light. Obviously, this card is not to his liking.

Zhang Yong immediately drew the card back, and said in a trembling voice: "Old slave, old slave made a mistake, it should be ...... Be. Two cylinders? ”

The anger on Zhu Houzhao's face instantly turned into joy: "Touched!" ”

Zhang Yong seemed to be the rest of his life. The stiff shoulders were visibly broken. Half slumped in the chair, then wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

And then...... There was silence in the hall again.

Dai Yi and Gu Da looked at Zhang Yong with a sympathetic gaze.

Long......

"Are you stupid? It's your turn to draw the cards! Zhu Houzhao glared at Zhang Yong impatiently.

"Huh? Again...... Another old slave? Zhang Yong began to sweat again.

"Nonsense. Touching the next home, turning the next home, of course it's you again, are you really stupid or fake stupid? When Qin Kan taught you the rules of playing cards, did you pour mercury in your ears? ”

"Old slave...... The old slave ......" Zhang Yong was about to cry, trembling and touching a card, and continued to play nervously: "Six...... Six-cylinder ...... Can it or can't? ”

"This must be possible, huh!" Zhu Houzhao laughed, pushed down the cards in his hand, and jumped onto the chair and danced with his hands.

Zhang Yong and the three of them breathed a sigh of relief and took out the silver very consciously.

Qin Kan couldn't stand it anymore, and stood not far away and sighed faintly.

Everyone turned their heads at the same time, and Zhang Yong and the three of them saw Qin Kan's gaze as if the old peasants from Shaanxi and Gansu were looking forward to the Red Army, which was called a red sun rising in the east......

"Ha, Qin Kan, you're finally here, why are you sighing?" Zhu Houzhao won and was in a good mood.

Qin Kan sighed: "The ministers are pitiful Zhang Yong's three fathers-in-law, the ancestors of these three must have dug up many people's ancestral graves in their previous lives, and if they don't do good, they don't accumulate virtue before they end up sitting at the same table with Your Majesty......"

Zhang Yong's gaze suddenly seemed to be like Boya meeting Ziji, he glanced at Zhu Houzhao carefully, and muttered in a low voice: "This is really possible......"

Zhu Houzhao said dissatisfiedly: "What's the matter, isn't it good to play cards with me?" ”

Turning his head to glare at Zhang Yong and the others, Zhu Houzhao said viciously with a vicious face: "Say! Is playing cards with me like a spring breeze? ”

"Yes, yes......" The three of them nodded hurriedly.

Qin Kan sighed: "How good it is for Your Majesty to directly copy the knife and rob them, it is simple and effective, and it is a waste of time to play cards......"

Zhang Yong and the others continued to nod, obviously they would rather be robbed by Zhu Houzhao than play cards with him.

Zhu Houzhao, who got off the table, obviously had a much better temper, pointed at Zhang Yong and the three of them and scolded with a smile: "Get out of here, I have something to say to Qin Kan." ”

Zhang Yong and the three of them were like being amnestied, and they hurriedly bowed down and retired.

…………

…………

Only Zhu Houzhao and Qin Kan were left in the hall, and Zhu Houzhao's face gradually became a little gloomy.

"I received a report from the Bazhou Army today, Xu Tai's soldiers have been defeated!"

Qin Kan pursed his lips and said: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and if we lose this time, let's send elite soldiers and good generals to quell the rebellion." ”

Zhu Houzhao sneered: "Since I ascended the throne, the war has always been defeated, this is not a common thing in soldiers, I really don't know what kind of waste my court has raised, that Xu Tai patted his chest in front of me before the expedition and swore that he would put down the rebellion in Bazhou, and also confidently set up a military order, as a result, more than 20,000 soldiers of the 90,000 Beijing battalion were killed, and he was killed by the thieves, and he himself fled, I want to see what face he has to see me after returning to Beijing!" ”

"Your Majesty, the important thing now is not to be angry, but to calm down and sum up the lessons, carefully examine the true strength of the anti-thief, and order the military department to mobilize elite soldiers, and the household department to prepare grain and grass, in order to fight the anti-thief again, the monarch and the minister are of the same heart, and the soldiers use their lives, why worry about the anti-thief?"

Zhu Houzhao said deflatedly: "It's easy for you to say, look at the ministers in the court today, how can there be a trace of 'monarchs and ministers are of the same heart'." In this world, apart from you and Zhang Yong, who really has the same heart as me? What else did the Manchu civil and military have in their hearts besides being promoted and getting rich? It's just that they don't have the same heart as me, what I want to do, they don't care about right or wrong, black and white, they all swear to oppose it, what is the anti-thief in Bazhou? If the ministers agree to the expedition of the emperor, I will sweep away the Bazhou within three days! ”

"This ...... Your Majesty, you're too confident, aren't you? ”

“…… Ten days! ”

“…………”

Qin Kan could only choose to be silent, this guy is getting more and more excessive, every time he saw him before, a strong faint monarch smell came to his face, but now it is good. There is also a sense of arrogance in the taste of the faint king...... Every year at the beginning of the spring festival, the temple is sacrificed. Didn't he feel the ancestral tablets of all generations trembling slightly with anger?

"After Xu Tai's defeat, the scholars of the Xuan Cabinet entered the leopard room to discuss the suppression of the rebellion, and the scholars of Li Dongyang gave me a wake-up call......" Zhu Houzhao looked at Qin Kan and said quietly: "Qin Kan." I'm afraid that the rebellion in Bazhou will have to be up to you. Li Dongyang told me. Tang Zihe, the female anti-thief leader of the Bazhou rebellion, turned out to be a remnant of the White Lotus Sect in Tianjin, who fought with you in Tianjin, and later became a fish that slipped through the net and ran away. From this point of view, you are her nemesis, if you can defeat her once, you can defeat her a second time, and besides, you have patrolled Liaodong, you have the experience of leading troops to set up formations, and I have been the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty several times, only you are the most suitable candidate for counterinsurgency......"

Qin Kan smiled bitterly, he really guessed that the score was not bad.

Tang Zihe's stunning face appeared in his mind for no reason, Qin Kan tried his best to suppress the trace of love and hate in his heart, and arched his hand towards Zhu Houzhao and said, "The minister is willing to share his worries for His Majesty." ”

Zhu Houzhao said happily: "I know that you will not refuse, so let's do it, I will transfer another 100,000 soldiers from the Beijing camp to you, you will lead the position of the general officer of the counterinsurgency, Miao Kui came back from Xuanfu last month to take charge of the imperial horse supervisor, and recently I have been grinding I want to fight, I will send him to supervise military affairs, the king is headed by you, Miao Kui is the deputy, I will instruct Miao Kui, if you two disagree, take your intentions, how about it?" ”

Qin Kan shook his head: "Your Majesty, Bazhou has become a climate, and it is quite difficult to quell the rebellion, and what is even more difficult is that it is difficult for the people to gather after the counterinsurgency, whether it is a civil war or a foreign war, it is the people who are really suffering, so in addition to leading the troops to suppress the chaos, the minister also wants to ask His Majesty for a few decrees......

Zhu Houzhao said curiously: "What decree? ”

"Your Majesty, the reason why the anti-thieves in Bazhou have become a climate in just two months is that in addition to the anti-thief leader Tang Zihe's cunning and resourcefulness, there is a more important reason......"

Qin Kan looked at Zhu Houzhao fixedly, and sighed: "Your Majesty, the ministers are bold, the Bazhou government oppresses the people too much, the Jinyiwei under the command of the minister collects the news of Bazhou these days, and the piles and piles are all the people who are forced by the government to ruin their families, especially the horse administration of Bazhou, the local government stipulates that each family pays five adult strong horses to the imperial court every year, otherwise they will be imprisoned, five adult strong horses, how can ordinary people afford to raise them?" The people of Bazhou were forced to this point, and there was no way to live, and the rebels Tang Zihe and Zhang Mao ascended to the heights, and hundreds of people rebelled against them, resulting in the rapid expansion of the number of rebels from 5,000 to 70,000 in just two months...... Under His Majesty, the harsh government is fiercer than the tiger, and the people of Bazhou are forced to rebel by the government! ”

Zhu Houzhao looked stunned, his face turned blue and red, he was silent for a long time, slapped the table with hatred, and said angrily: "Liu Jin, Liang Hong!" It's all because they are doing nonsense outside that they have ruined my reputation, when did I say that I wanted the people of Bazhou to hand over so many horses? Yang Yiqing once implemented horse politics on the three sides and made it prosperous, but he only decided that each household would only pay two adult strong horses, not to mention that these two horses were directly against the conscription, and a good scripture was all read crookedly by the dog officials in Bazhou! ”

Qin Kan sighed: "Xing, the people are suffering, dying, the people are suffering!" The minister is willing to go out to quell the rebellion for His Majesty, but the minister wants to ask His Majesty to make a holy decree to temporarily exempt Ma Zheng from Bazhou, not only Ma Zheng, but all the heavy taxes to be paid to the government are exempted...... Your Majesty, let Bazhou recuperate for a few years, the people of Bazhou can no longer afford to toss, otherwise this time the rebellion will be quelled, and it will not be possible to protect when Bazhou will rebel next time. ”
