Chapter 519: Sober
Jingzhao has a purpose: the Shen family raised troops, the crime was actually rebellion, Xining and Lingnan aided the abuse, and the crime was unforgivable, so that the two guards of Jiangnan and Hanoi immediately became the recruiting division, and immediately sent troops to Lingnan Road to quell the chaos!
At the same time, with Yu Hongtu, the general of Jiangnan Wei, as the envoy, and Zhang Ge, the deputy general of Jin Wuwei, as the commander of the camp, a total of 240,000 troops from Jiangnan and Hanoi were gathered and marched towards Lingnan Road.
Sure enough, as the Shen family expected before, the imperial court's rebellion against the Shen family was indeed a rebellion, and the imperial court recognized it at all under the banner of "punishing the Zuo clan and the Qing monarch's side"!
"Dayong, it's all moving!" On the edge of the Qujiang River, Shen Huashan said such a sentence, and Ye Zhengchun, Yu Zhengkai and others were saddened.
Yes, Dayong has moved.
Jiang Bowen rebelled, occupied Northern Xinjiang and Longyou Road, Guan Neiwei and Jiannanwei jointly sent troops, and were dragged on the Longyou battlefield; The Jingzhao Dynasty was turbulent, needless to say; Now, because the Shen family raised troops, Lingnan Wei followed, and Jiangnan Wei and Hanoi Wei were involved in the Lingnan war again.
So far, the seven avenues of Dayong have been affected by the war. Coupled with natural disasters such as the floods in Hanoi Province, Dayong is really crumbling.
In the eyes of Shen Huashan and others, the building will be overwhelmed. People were displaced by the fighting that began everywhere. According to the investigation of Ruliu, there are chaotic people flowing out of Longyou Road every day, and even the nearby Jiannan and Guannei provinces have many more displaced people.
The reason is too simple, the imperial court spent all its money, manpower, and material resources on quelling Jiang Bowen's rebellion. As a result, the maintenance of officials' salaries and the maintenance of the official structure will have to be greatly reduced, but they are still stretched.
Officials can't even guarantee that they will settle down, so how can they have the heart to deal with political affairs? Because of the war, all kinds of communication and exchanges were blocked, business affairs were not complicated, and officials and clans were concerned about collecting wealth and plundering to increase the chances of saving their lives in troubled times. In this case, how can there be no rioters?
The great man of the country is only Rong and ritual. When a country goes to war, it costs a lot of money and goods. It is the people who suffer.
Even in today's Lingnan Dao, Shen Huashan and others don't know how long this kind of peace and prosperity can last. The only thing that can be thankful is. The opening of the Xining trade road has accumulated a lot of wealth for these two roads, and these two roads are rich in goods, and there will be no natural disasters like Hanoi Road.
The imperial court ordered Jiangnan and Hanoi to jointly send troops, although they would not arrive at Lingnan Road immediately, but the Shen family must be prepared.
Although the imperial court has few troops, it is the orthodoxy of the Dayong Dynasty after all. Once there is a war, no one knows what will happen.
After knowing the will of the imperial court, the Shen family. There are also Yuan Huan, Zhu Dunshi and others, all of whom moved.
The Weapons Division, which was placed in the deep mountains of Nanling, once again recruited a large number of craftsmen to speed up the production of crossbow beds and various bows and crossbows;
There are also raw material deposits in Xining Road, Queensland Yang Buyun and Shen Zexue. Every effort is being made to transport these to Lingnan Road as quickly as possible; There are many mineral deposits in Xining Road, and the miners have taken turns in batches, and the mining of mineral deposits has not stopped;
There are also Qianqiu Qianzhuang, Hu Shi'an Hetang and others, all trying to find a way to rely on the protection of Lingnan Wei and the Shen family in this troubled era to ensure that the people are engaged in production as much as possible. As long as the people have food, jobs and income, they can eat enough. It won't be messy.
The Shen family of Lingnan Dao, while making these kinds of preparations, the Zuo family of Jingzhao was angry. Whether it is the Empress Zuo, Zuo Liangzhe or Zuo Yan, they seem to be embarking on a crazy path.
When the Shen family's banner of "punishing the Zuo clan and Qingjun side" reached Jingzhao, Zuo Liangzhe was so shocked that the teacups fell to the ground with a "bang"!
The Shen family turned out to be the opposite, Shen Huashan really became the chaotic minister and thief. Zuo Liangzhe can't believe this!
However, even if he no longer believed it, all these things had happened, and the situation became more and more critical. The Shen family raised troops and had the banner of "Zhuzuo's and Qingjun's side". There were 150,000 troops; Lingnan Wei Yuan Huan rebelled, united with the Shen family, and oppressed the imperial court......
These reports were sent to Zuo Liangzhe. Zuo Liangzhe, the minister of supervision, summoned Wei Yanqing, the general of Jin Wuwei, and Zheng Diheng, the secretary of the military department, and others overnight to discuss countermeasures with the military department.
Wei Yanqing and Zheng Diheng no longer have opinions on Zuo Liangzhe, and in the face of such a major event, they have also put aside their prejudices, hoping to find countermeasures to contain the constantly critical situation in Dayong.
The imperial court has not suppressed Jiang Bowen, the battle situation in Longyou is still deadlocked, and now there are more Shen family troops, which is also a major event that needs to be suppressed by transferring troops, Wei Yanqing and Zheng Diheng are frowning.
Zheng Diheng's staff injury didn't take long to heal, and he had to worry about the military situation. The officials in the military department have similar expressions to Zheng Diheng, and the frequent wars have made them helpless!
Zuo Liangzhe, as the minister of supervision, has only one meaning, the Shen family's rebellion is actually a rebellion, no matter what righteous banner it is, it is a rebellion! For the great crime of rebellion, the imperial court will never tolerate it, and sending troops to suppress it is the only way!
After knowing that the Shen family had raised troops, Zuo Liangzhe immediately convicted the Shen family of rebellion. Now, summoning Wei Yanqing and other officials to come is to let them carry it out. How to set up the Solicitation Division, who to use as the solicitor, the supply of grain and grass, the suppression of the text, and so on, are naturally the affairs of Zheng Diheng and other officials.
Zheng Diheng knew that at this time, the emperor was in a coma, the Zuo family was in charge of the country, and the Shen family would never recognize the banner of "punishing the Zuo family and the Qing monarch's side". The imperial court could only send troops to suppress it, and there was no other choice.
If the emperor can wake up, maybe he can appease the Shen family, now ...... Zheng Diheng had no choice.
"It is not difficult to set up the recruitment department, the key is to carry the weight of grain and grass. The household department must allocate enough money and silver to come down. Zheng Diheng immediately said.
Of course, there is no problem in sending troops to suppress it, and the strength of troops and recruiting envoys can be determined immediately. The key is to supply the grain and grass of the Recruitment Division, etc., and the military department has no big way, how much force can the household department use?
Zheng Diheng's words made Zuo Liangzhe dumbfounded. Yes, the weight of grain and grass, this is the big problem! The imperial court was already struggling to deal with the Longyou war, and if the logistical support for Guan Neiwei and Jiannanwei could be sufficient, the situation would not remain deadlocked.
Now, the Lingnan war situation has started again, and the recruiting department has sent troops, and it has to supply a large amount of grain and grass baggage, and the imperial court really doesn't have so much money! Taxes are increased every year, but there is no surplus every year, and Zuo Liangzhe doesn't know where the money of the Dayong Imperial Court is used!
Now the way Zuo Liangzhe can think of to quickly increase the wealth of the court is to increase taxes!
"Now is the time of the autumn harvest, and the people of Dayong have surplus grain in their hands, and they will increase taxes to solve the urgent needs of the moment. The household department immediately ordered that the decree document be posted......"
But before he finished speaking, a message that shocked the officials present came out from the Zichen Palace.
Zuo Liangzhe's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe the words he heard, while Wei Yanqing and Zheng Diheng were overjoyed.
"The issue of increasing taxes is very relevant. According to this official, let's take it easy. Zheng Diheng immediately said this, and glanced at Zuo Liangzhe, which meant something indescribable.
The news that came out of the Zichen Hall was that Emperor Jingxing had woken up! The imperial doctor of the Shang Pharmacy confirmed that Emperor Jingxing woke up this time, not to return to the light, but to improve his condition!
Now Emperor Jingxing is still very weak, but he has indeed woken up!
Zuo Liangzhe's shock and Zheng Diheng's joy were all because Emperor Jingxing woke up!
Zuo Liangzhe knew that Emperor Jingxing was poisoned, and that kind of poison would not kill people immediately, but it would make people sleep and weak all the time. He didn't give the antidote Emperor Jingxing at all, how could he get better?
And the imperial doctor of Shang Pharmacy, what's going on? Isn't it that Imperial Doctor Liu of the Shang Pharmacy has been taking care of the emperor? The emperor woke up suddenly, why didn't he have any news beforehand?
Zuo Liangzhe was puzzled, and even the queen Zuo in the palace was very stunned when she heard the news. Zichen Palace, after she cleaned it, it was basically her person, why did Emperor Jingxing suddenly improve, and no one reported it?
The queen rushed to the Zichen Hall as soon as possible, only to see that Imperial Physician Liu also had a puzzled look, and Emperor Jingxing was leaning against the dragon bed with his eyes open.
"The concubine asked the emperor for peace. The emperor can wake up, and the concubines are so happy that they don't know what to say, it's really good, it's great......"
Zuo Shi held the handkerchief, printed with tears falling from his face, his face was crying with joy, but his heart was terrified.
Emperor Jingxing woke up, and inside and outside the imperial city, it was back in his hands. Then the Zuo family supervised the country, as well as the death of the two concubines Shu and De, and the separation of the courtiers. If Emperor Jingxing is a careful study, then what will be waiting for the Zuo family?
"I ...... Unharmed. What about Tang Mi? Emperor Jingxing felt as if he had slept for a long time. I finally opened my eyes, but I found that I had a hard time talking.
What's going on? Emperor Jingxing looked around, but found that the palace maids in the Zichen Hall were all fresh faces. Even Tang Mi, the head of the chamberlain who had always been waiting for him, was gone.
Tang Mi ...... I had an accident and died. That's why the concubine promoted Zhang Neishou as the leader. ”
Zuo printed the corners of his eyes again, and the tears fell even more.
When Zuo Liangzhe, Wei Yanqing and other officials entered the Zichen Palace, what they saw was the picture of the emperor waking up and the queen crying. Emperor Jingxing, who was awake, they hadn't seen him for many days.
"Weichen greets the emperor, may the emperor be healthy, the emperor can wake up, and the ministers are grateful to the heavens......"
Wei Yanqing, a military general, couldn't help the excitement in his heart and said so. Although Emperor Jingxing is not a good emperor, the country cannot be without a monarch for a day, and it is much better for the emperor to be awake than to be in a coma.
At least, Zuo Liangzhe can no longer control the government with one hand.
Thinking of this, Wei Yanqing glanced at Zuo Liangzhe, and the ridicule and gloating in his eyes were not hidden at all, which was equivalent to telling Zuo Liangzhe directly: The emperor has woken up, see how you die!
Zuo Liangzhe knelt, as frightened as Empress Zuo. The emperor woke up, how could the emperor wake up at this time?
