Chapter 229: The vassal king rebelled
Early the next morning, Xiao Taohong helped Qiu Jue fix the crown of her hair with a sad face.
Qiu Jue couldn't help but feel funny when she saw Xiao Pink's appearance: "What's wrong with you red fox?" Haven't you always been happy? Besides eating or eating, is it who robbed you of what you eat? ”
Xiao Taohong still didn't speak, but silently helped Qiu Jue continue to arrange her hair in a bun.
Qiu Jue turned to look at Xiao Taohong: "You little girl is still losing her temper, hurry up and tell me what's wrong?" ”
"Humph! Miss, you don't care about me at all, but I grew up with you, the lark pierced my acupoint, and only helped me untie it this morning, do you know how uncomfortable I am? Little Peach said crookedly.
Qiu Jue smiled and said, "Haha, if the lark doesn't seal your acupoint, who knows what earth-shattering words you will say." ”
After hearing this, Xiao Taohong said, "I didn't say anything, huh?" Isn't the emperor's brother only the second son? ”
Qiu Jue immediately said seriously: "If you still dare to say it, if you say it, I will make you a real dumb person." ”
Little Peach immediately closed her mouth after hearing this, just shook her head, and her eyes were also pleading.
Qiu Jue smiled and said, "Okay, you should be cautious in your words and deeds in the future, otherwise you will be killed." ”
Xiao Taohong nodded, and then said, "Miss, just thinking about the lark stabbing my acupoint just now, I forgot to tell you, those vassal kings are reversed." ”
Qiu Jue immediately stood up after hearing this: "What? They really rebelled. ”
"yes, I don't know what's going on, and all of a sudden they sent troops to attack." Little Pink said.
"What's going on now?" Qiu Jue asked.
Little Peach shook her head: "I don't know." ”
After hearing this, Qiu Jue immediately stood up and walked outside, Qiu Chan, the blackbird and the lark had been waiting in the hall for a long time.
"What's going on now?" Qiu Jue looked at Qiu Chan and the others.
Qiu Chan said: "They were divided into five routes to attack from four directions, east, west, south and north, and the southern offensive was the most intense. ”
"Isn't there a second son?" Qiu Jue looked at the blackbird.
The blackbird shook his head: "The second son is on the east side, and they set off from Lin'an." ”
"What about the west side?" Qiu Jue continued to ask.
The lark stood up and said, "The western side is the weakest because of the proximity to the land of ice and snow, and the heavy snow in the past few days. ”
After Qiu Jue heard the lark's words, he looked at the blackbird: "Is there any news from Tanglin now?" ”
The blackbird shook his head: "It seems that Tanglin doesn't know what happened in the Celestial Empire yet, but this matter will definitely spread soon." ”
Qiu Jue was silent for a moment when he heard this, if Tanglin attacked from the southern and western waters now, I am afraid that Mo Yu might not be able to resist them.
However, even if the temperature in the south is higher, winter is winter after all, and the wiser ones will not choose to start a war in winter.
Now that it's here, it's time to deal with it head-on.
Xiao Taohong was puzzled: "Miss, these big vassal kings don't seem to be from the Mo clan, right?" Do they still want to be emperors? ”
Qiu Jue nodded: "These great vassal kings are indeed not from the Mo clan, but the generals who fought with the Emperor Taishang at the beginning, so they were crowned kings, who knew that the Emperor Taishang was so merciful to leave them." ”
"They don't have the right to usurp the throne now, do they have the certainty of victory?" Little Pink asked.
Qiu Chan snorted coldly: "Hmph! They have their own troops, and it is only a matter of time before they rebel, but it is not wise to send troops now. ”
"Now that they've attacked, they'll have to face the enemy head-on." Skylark said.
Qiu Jue looked at the blackbird: "What's going on with the regent?" ”
"The time is still very tight, I'm afraid it will take another month to be able to come out." The blackbird replied.
Qiu Jue shook his head: "It's too late, let's go to the regent now." ”
As he spoke, Moshi had already arrived in the hall.
"This is going to the regent? Don't you tell me? Inkstone walked in and said.
After everyone saw this, they knelt down and saluted: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live." ”
Moshi raised his hand: "Get up." ”
"Has the Queen Mother heard the news too?" Moshi looked at Qiu Jue.
Qiu Jue said to Xiao Taohong, "Go to those refreshments." ”
Moshi sat down and looked at Qiu Jue.
Qiu Jue nodded: "How can there be no news about such a big thing?" It's just that what is the situation now? What's going on with Gongziyu? ”
Mo Shi shook his head: "It's not clear, but I believe in Mo Yu's ability, but it's not easy to do it in the south and east." ”
"So we're going to go to the Lord Regent and see what we can do to get rid of the enemy?" As soon as Qiu Jue finished speaking, the voice of Pugong Gong came from outside.
"The Lord Regent asks to see you." Dangong shouted loudly.
Moshi immediately said, "Pass! ”
After the regent came in, he wanted to salute, but Qiu Jue immediately said: "Excuse me, regent, now that the war is tight, what is your best plan?" ”
The regent said: "I am afraid that there is another hidden reason for the sudden rebellion of several major feudal kings!" ”
"What do you mean by that?" Moshi asked.
The regent said, "At present, the food reserves of the Celestial Empire are insufficient, and the situation of the vassal kings is not optimistic, so it is impossible for them not to think about these things. ”
"However, at the moment, I am in a hurry to attack, and there must be someone among them, but this person is hiding in the shadows, and I am afraid it will be difficult to find out!" Said the regent.
Qiu Jue nodded: "What the regent said makes sense, the emperor is a big deal, and he will go to the Jinluan Palace to ask the civil and military officials for a good way to retreat from the enemy, it is not suitable in the harem." ”
After hearing this, Moshi looked at the regent, then stood up and said: "What the Queen Mother said is very true, Uncle Wang, let's go to the Jinluan Palace together, Duke Pu will notify him and let the civil and military officials go to the court immediately." ”
As soon as the next dynasty encountered the rebellion of the vassal king, the civil and military officials were very anxious, so they contacted the officials to prepare to enter the palace, and at this time, Pu Gonggong led everyone to inform the officials.
They quickly went to the Jinluan Palace, and when they saw that Moshi was already sitting on the throne, they all kowtowed and saluted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”
Mo Shi raised his hand: "Flat." ”
After the ministers got up, Moshi asked: "The vassal kings suddenly rebelled, I don't know what good plan you Aiqing can have?" ”
Prime Minister Zuo said: "Your Majesty, there must be something strange about the sudden rise of the vassal kings at the moment, so I don't send envoys to negotiate with him." ”
"Your Majesty, since the vassal kings already have the intention of rebellion, and no further negotiations will be fruitless, it is better to send troops to exterminate them, so that we will have no worries about fighting Tanglin." The right prime minister spoke.
Many people echoed the right prime minister: "Yes, yes, now that they have started a war, there is no point in negotiating." ”
A military general stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers are willing to fight." ”
Mo Shi looked at the general: "General Chen has been fighting for many years and has rich experience, so it was okay to go to war, but now the grain and grass are a problem, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold on!" ”
"Emperor Qiqi, the ministers are willing to go to the king of the Western Domain to negotiate, although their ancestors have entered the soil, but the descendants of the king of the Western domain are also very wise."
"Is Lord Liu sure?" Moshi asked.
The regent looked at Lord Liu, and then said, "Lord Liu is a rare eloquent, it should be no big problem to go this time, and Weichen will also send a few top masters to protect Lord Liu." ”
Mo Shi nodded: "In this case, it is also very difficult to attack in the west now, just take this opportunity to persuade them, Lord Liu is waiting for good news." ”
After Lord Liu knelt down: "The minister must live up to the emperor's grace!" ”
Moshi nodded: "If this matter is done, I will be rewarded." ”
After Lord Liu stood up, he left to prepare his things.
And the south can only resist temporarily but cannot take the initiative to attack, and Mo Yu's side is now resisting with all its might, and can only wait for news.
All the ministers stood there without a word.
Moshi looked at Duke Pu: "Go and bring the food to the main hall, and let the adults cushion their stomachs." ”
After hearing this, everyone clasped their fists and saluted: "Thank the emperor." ”
On the other hand, Qiu Jue is not idle, and is still trying to figure out how to resist this crisis.
"Blackbird, Qiuchan, pack your luggage and go out with the palace." Qiu Jue shouted loudly after wandering around a few times.
Blackbird and Qiuchan were puzzled: "Miss, where are you going?" ”
"Let's go to the south, maybe we can put the fighting down there, and there will be no problem on the east side." Qiu Jue said.
Soon they had finished packing up, and quietly left the palace through the small gate, and they rode on fast horses and galloped all the way, and after five days and five sleepless nights, they finally reached the south.
But because of overwork, Qiu Jue fell ill and had a fever, and after resting in the inn for a day, they were about to go to the mansion of the king of the Southern Domain, but they were stopped by a person, who was none other than Luo Sheng.
The blackbird was very surprised when he saw Luo Sheng coming: "Luo Sheng, why are you here?" ”
Luo Sheng said with a smile: "Although this is a rich land, it is fundamentally impossible to achieve the situation of common prosperity by not allowing the people to live and work in peace and contentment, and the gap between the rich and the poor is too large. ”
"But now that the war has started, I'm afraid that the people have no intention of planting crops." Qiu Chan said.
Luo Sheng shook his head: "That's not the case, I got the news that the king of the Southern Domain got a letter, which said that the emperor wanted to withdraw the domain, and he had to do something to them, so there would be this situation." ”
"I see, it seems that we came out right this time." After Qiu Jue woke up, he heard the other party's conversation, so he walked out and whispered.
"See the Queen Mother!" Luo Sheng saluted.
Qiu Jue raised his hand: "No need to be polite, what you just said is the truth?" ”
"Absolutely." Luo Sheng said firmly.
After hearing this, Qiu Jue said, "Then you may arrange for me to meet with the little prince?" ”
Luo Sheng nodded: "No problem, I was drinking and chatting with the little prince a few days ago." ”
After hearing this, Qiu Jue smiled and said: "I didn't expect your popularity to be good, even the little prince of Nan is also friendly with you, it's really amazing!" ”
"The Queen Mother forgives her sins, Luo Sheng shouldn't get too close to the little prince of Nan." Luo Sheng immediately knelt down and said.
Qiu Jue shook his head: "Get up, this palace doesn't blame you, it's good for you to handle interpersonal relationships like this, if you succeed this time, this palace will be rewarded." ”
