Chapter 473: Xiyan Invasion

(Three more, haha!) Subscribe for pink! )

When Empress Dowager Jiang was taken to Zichen Hall by the chamberlain, Emperor Jingxing was taken aback, he had never seen such a Empress Dowager Jiang.

Empress Dowager Jiang was dressed in a formal court dress, and she was extremely majestic, and the twelve phoenix hairpins were holding pearls the size of pigeon eggs, which looked extravagant and domineering under the reflection of the lights.

Empress Dowager Jiang's makeup, Emperor Jingxing has not seen it before, but the delicate makeup on Empress Dowager Jiang's face and the shallow smile on her lips make her look more than ten years younger!

Emperor Jingxing's impression of the Empress Dowager Jiang has always been a dull yellow complexion, such a happy, so young, such a majestic Empress Dowager Jiang has never been seen by Emperor Jingxing before.

"Bold sinner, don't kneel down when you see the emperor!" Zuo Liangzhe is the best at observing words and feelings, and when he saw the hatred in Emperor Jingxing's eyes, he shouted at the Jiang family.

Jiang Bowen rebelled and committed heinous crimes, even if Jiang is the queen mother, he will be implicated by it, looking at the appearance of Emperor Jingxing, it is necessary to cure Jiang's crimes.

"Sinner? What is the sin of mourning the family? The mourning family is the queen mother of Dayong, and when the emperor sees the mourning family, he has to ask the mourning family for peace. When will it be your turn to speak here, a dog minion? ”

Jiang still smiled, glanced at Zuo Liangzhe with contempt, and then under the traction of the palace maid, Shi Shiran sat down in the Zichen Palace.

It seems that she is still the high-ranking Empress Dowager Jiang, as if she doesn't know Jiang Bowen's rebellion in Longyou Dao at all.

"Zuo Liangzhe, Wei Yanqing, you and the others will step back and wait outside the palace."

Emperor Jingxing suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice. Seeing such a Empress Dowager Jiang, he was a little timid for some reason.

After Zuo Liangzhe and the others withdrew from the Zichen Palace, Emperor Jingxing also instructed Tang Mi to serve tea to the Jiang family, and then went directly to the topic.

"Jiang Bowen rebelled, and he had to be wronged by his mother during this time. When I kill Jiang Bowen, the heads of Jiang Bowen and all the Jiang family will be presented to the Buddha Hall of the Queen Mother to show filial piety. Speaking of which, my short-lived brother will also feel relieved. ”

Emperor Jingxing's words were very calm, and the killing intent in his eyes soared, venting his hatred for Jiang Bowen on the Jiang family.

Jiang Bowen's rebellion was completely unexpected, and he was shocked and frightened. In front of the courtier's door, he couldn't do anything, but seeing the blood of the Jiang family, the mean words couldn't help but erupt.

Jiang's leisurely gesture of tasting tea paused, and the smile on his face also froze for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Why is the emperor so angry? Even if the mourning family's brother doesn't rebel, the emperor's position won't last long! Does the emperor really think that he belongs to the will of heaven? Amusing! If it weren't for the frailty of the mourning family, you would be qualified to sit in this position? This throne should have belonged to the bloodline of the Jiang family! ”

Turns to be mean, Empress Dowager Jiang did not lose to Emperor Jingxing at all, in the past, she ignored everything, today there is such a happy thing, how can she be so fast?

"You're right! You are mediocre, and now that the DPRK and China are traitors, and the people of Dayong are suffering more and more, you are holding a large-scale election with great fanfare? How can you be the king of a country? ”

"The first emperor has not been in the sky for a hundred days, and you have poisoned your brother, and you have used your own flesh and blood as bait. You have no respect and no relatives, what qualifications do you have to be the emperor? ”

"Ever since you ascended the throne, the world has been plagued by calamities. The disaster in Hanoi, the loss of Taichang Temple, and the war in northern Xinjiang, God has long been warning you, accusing you of political mistakes! You don't know it. How can you sit on the throne like this? ”

Empress Dowager Jiang said three paragraphs in a row, calling "you" in her words, without the slightest respect, and did not give Emperor Jingxing a chance to refute at all. After she finished speaking in one breath, she laughed out loud.

"How can a person like you be the king of a country? The elder brother of the mourning family is in accordance with the time of heaven, and he is the one who is destined to return! You will not be imprisoned on this throne! ”

Jiang spoke again, and his contempt for Emperor Jingxing was clear.

I am so happy today, she dressed up and came here, just to say such a thing, to be able to count down the emperor, and she was happy before she died.

Jiang Bowen rebelled, and she knew that she would not escape death. What is there to fear from dying? But what she can't see the most is the lowly Empress Dowager Rong and Emperor Jingxing!

is a sinner in the court, and he can be on an equal footing with her, what kind of heavenly reason is this? Fortunately, the sky has eyes, and Emperor Jingxing is mediocre and incompetent, so it should be time for his mother's brother to seize the world.

Even if she dies now, she feels happy.

"You...... What a guts! What a guts! Emperor Jingxing was full of anger and hatred, no one had ever dared to accept such words in front of him.

It's just that the majestic Empress Dowager Jiang said something that no one else had ever said! Originally, he also wanted to use Empress Dowager Jiang to carry out a counter-plot, but now it seems that it is completely unnecessary.

Since she is killing herself, let her go and see her short-lived son!

"Tang Mi, instruct the chamberlain to send the Queen Mother back to the palace and serve the Queen Mother well!"

Emperor Jingxing glanced at Empress Dowager Jiang, and he was no longer interested in talking to her. His command, Tang Mi and the attendants also knew what it meant.

Not long after, a cry came from Cining Palace, and Empress Dowager Jiang collapsed. No matter what the reason for her collapse was, the harem concubines and courtiers had nothing to say.

Jiang Bowen rebelled, what could happen to the Empress Dowager Jiang except for death?

Such a sensitive matter silenced the ministers of the DPRK and China. The officials of the Ministry of Rites didn't even know whether to hold a funeral, and in the end, the Empress Dowager Rong said that "the crime is not as good as the imperial family", and the sacrificial tent of the Empress Dowager Jiang was erected.

Of course, there are only three or two palace maids who cry for the soul. Queen Zuo only said that the fetus was heavy, and she had never even left the Kunning Palace Gate; Concubine De and Concubine Xian also excused themselves from this matter under the pretext of being pregnant; The other concubines, who have just arrived, naturally act according to the wind.

In this way, the queen of the main palace of Emperor Changtai died sadly and alone.

How can the courtiers judge a sinner and the queen mother? The most important thing for them now is to deal with Jiang Bowen's rebellion.

Jiang Bowen himself led 120,000 soldiers and horses, since he raised the anti-flag and proclaimed himself the king of Longyou, he quickly formed a scale in the area of Longyou Road, not only the people of Longyou Road returned to their hearts, but even the officials of Longyou Road went to him.

The observation of Longyou Dao made Ding Wenhan a sincere person and loyal to the Dayong court. He resolutely refused to throw himself at Jiang Bowen, scolded Jiang Bowen for being a traitor and a thief, and God would punish him, and led the soldiers of the Observation House to fight against Jiang Bowen, but he was captured and died!

Not long after Jiang Bowen became king, the bad news that Ding Wenhan was dead and hundreds of officials had taken refuge with Jiang Bowen came out, which directly made Emperor Jingxing and the courtiers break out in a cold sweat.

Jiang Bowen's rebellion swept up the wind in Longyou Road. Time is pressing, it is too late to set up a recruitment division, and the matter is urgent, under the suggestion of Wei Yanqing, Emperor Jingxing directly took Guan Neiwei as the recruitment department, and Yan Luzheng, the general of Guan Neiwei, as the envoy, and immediately went to Longyou Road to quell the chaos!

Guan Neiwei Yan Law brought 120,000 soldiers and horses, and confronted Long Youwei, and it is not known who wins and who loses. The outcome is not known for the time being, but this time to quell the chaos, it is necessary to use a large number of military supplies and baggage, and a large amount of grain, grass and money. However, the household department and the military department have no money!

Previously, in order to supply Northern Xinjiang and Longyou Province, the national treasury reserves had been used, and a part of the money was allocated during the large-scale selection. Earlier, the Ministry of Industry applied for money to control the water, and the household department was embarrassed. Now that the Guannei Wei is in turmoil, the money and food are like flowing water.

This time, if the treasury is used again, the reserves of the treasury will become less and less.

"A bunch of useless courtiers! You will only receive it! Jiangnan Province, Lingnan Province, and Jiannan Province were leveled and taxes were levied to cope with the current urgency. ”

As soon as Emperor Jingxing's words were spoken, Qiu Shengnian, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, hurriedly made a statement: "Your Majesty! Gangnam Province and Hanoi Province have been raining heavily for several days, and Si Tiantai also gave a clear hexagram, I am afraid that there will be a big flood! Gangnam Province is really not suitable for additional taxes! ”

Will there be major floods in Gangnam Province and Hanoi Province? But isn't Hanoi just a great drought? How could it be a great flood?

Emperor Jingxing couldn't react for a while, and when he didn't realize it, this dynasty was already full of devastation!

"Then Gangnam Province is temporarily exempt! In short, the most important thing now is to quell Jiang Bowen's rebellion! ”

Emperor Jingxing felt that his head was too big. Political affairs such as quelling the chaos are handled by the Shangshu of the Military Department and General Jin Wuwei, but these matters must be approved by him.

In the Xuanzheng Palace, only the angry voice of Emperor Jingxing remained, and the courtiers were silent. Zuo Liangzhe, who usually likes to come out, couldn't lower his head anymore.

Si Tianjian Xu Fengzhang stood among the courtiers, struggling in his heart, not knowing whether to truthfully tell the celestial phenomena he had observed.

According to his observations, there is a broken army in the west of Dayong, and it is a sign that there will be a war. In the west, that is where Xiyan is located, and it is also where Dayong Xining Road is located.

He was worried, did this astrological sign indicate that Xiyan would invade? However, Honglu Temple and the military department have not yet had any information, and when this limelight is on fire, should he tell the emperor another bad news?

At this moment, Xu Shenxing, the squire of the Ministry of War, came out to speak: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of War has recently received a secret report that the army of Xiyan is assembled, and I am afraid that there will be a ...... change."

Xu Shenxing's words were worried that Xiyan would invade. As soon as he said this, the faces of Emperor Jingxing and the courtiers turned green. The disasters of Dayong are really one after another, the invasion of Western Yan? This is a big deal, Xu Shenxing is not mistaken, right?

"The ministers measured the stars at night and saw that there was a broken army in the west, which is indeed a sign of war."

Before Emperor Jingxing and the courtiers came to their senses, Si Tianjian Xu Fengzhang added such a sentence, which was equivalent to confirming Xu Shenxing's information.

What the? Breaking the Army? So, a Western Yan invasion is entirely possible? Where did Dayong offend the heavens, Jiang Bowen's rebellion has not been pacified, and Xiyan invaded, so what should Dayong do?

"Report! Xining Road 800 miles to expedite the military report! West Yan Invasion! West Yan Invasion! ”

Just when the emperor and ministers were silent, such a report came from outside the Xuanzheng Palace. Urgent military information, there is no way for those who come to report, and the military information is reported layer by layer, and it goes straight to the Xuanzheng Palace!

West Yan Invasion! It's really here! After nearly twenty years of peace between Dayong and Xiyan, they are fighting again! rs
