Zhou Guo.

Imperial Palace, inside the Qianqing Palace.

Emperor Zhou looked at the Daqian monthly newspaper in his hand, and his face was gloomy.

"Zimo red dust is blowing on his face, and no one is looking at the flowers.

Jinnan Guanli Gui Thousand Trees, all planted after Liu Gong went. ”

Reading and reading.

Zhou Huang clenched the newspaper in his hand, his eyes burst out with monstrous anger, and he squeezed out four words from between his teeth:

"What a poem!"

The next second.

He could no longer restrain the anger in his heart, so he stood up from the dragon chair, tore the newspaper in his hand fiercely, threw it forward, and said angrily:

"Wei Dongzheng! Look at your own nephew, who actually wrote a poem to satirize me and you at the banquet of the Qianguo! ”

Wei Dongzheng stood in place, expressionless and silent.

Emperor Zhou glared at him and said angrily: "Just because of this poem, I have received dozens of pieces today, accusing me of going against the will of the people in the world and insisting on going my own way!"

I also accused me of reusing you ministers who don't even care about your own nephews! You tell me! How do I reply to them! ”

Wei Dongzheng still had a breezy expression, and said with a straight face: "These are just passing clouds, no matter what, they will disperse......

Recruit the Tiger Ben Army and defend the Beijing Division in case of accidents! This is the important thing that His Majesty should take to heart! ”

When Emperor Zhou heard this, he was very angry, his eyes widened, and he said angrily:

"At this time, you still asked me to recruit the Tiger Army, are you going to make me make a mistake again...... cough cough cough cough ......"

As he spoke, he coughed violently again.

Side.

The eunuch was busy presenting the medicinal soup.

"Your Majesty, you dissipate your anger, the imperial doctor said, your wind and cold have not yet healed, and you should not be angry."

Wei Dongzheng looked at Emperor Zhou, who was coughing incessantly in front of him, sighed in his heart, and said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, it is not easy to be an emperor through the ages, since the new policy is implemented, we must move forward, and we must not meet obstacles, so we will give up halfway!"

Emperor Zhou coughed and glared at Wei Dongzheng.

"Ahem, ahem...... ...... year cough cough cough ...... You're not...... cough cough cough ...... That's what I said......"

Wei Dongzheng sighed and said: "When the minister implemented the new policy, he wanted to start step by step, starting from other aspects first, and then moving the field first. ”

If it weren't for Jiang Yue's tabloid, he wouldn't have been in a hurry to implement the apportionment into the mu, and the situation would not be the way it is now.

Hearing this, Emperor Zhou fell into deep thought, coughing while looking at the recitals presented in various places, as if he was making a choice.

Whether to continue with the new policy or to compromise with the scholars.

I don't know how long it took.

Emperor Zhou sighed leisurely and said: "As the second assistant of the cabinet, you already have great power, and you also lead the work and the household two books, it is inevitable that you will be criticized. ”

It is not the norm to receive two books at the same time.

Wei Dongzheng had no objection to this, and arched his hand: "The minister obeys the order." ”

Emperor Zhou raised his eyes to look at him, hesitated, and asked: "Fang Tian is taxed evenly, and the two items of apportionment into the mu, according to you, can it be put aside for a while." ”

Wei Dongzheng did not hesitate at all, and said solemnly: "The sword has been unsheathed, how can it be withdrawn!" ”

Emperor Zhou was entangled: "I'm worried that Xie Qian will use your nephew's poems to make another incident." ”

Wei Dongzheng said with a straight face: "Because of this, the minister implored His Majesty to recruit the Tiger Ben Army!" ”

Emperor Zhou was silent for a while, and hesitated: "Pulling a hair and moving the whole body and recruiting the Tiger Ben Army means that I will never die with them." ”

Wei Dongzheng showed an expression of hatred for iron and steel, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, don't you think that now has reached the most critical moment?" ”

Emperor Zhou glanced at Wei Dongzheng and opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

Right now.

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps outside.

Immediately after, an anxious voice sounded outside the Qianqing Palace.

"Holy Lord! Southwest Urgent! ”

Emperor Zhou and Wei Dongzheng glanced at each other, and they could see surprise in each other's eyes.

"Send it in!"

"Yes!"

The urgent report was sent to Emperor Zhou.

Emperor Zhou hurriedly opened it and looked at it from top to bottom.

As time passed, his face became more and more ugly.

After reading the urgent report, he could no longer restrain the anger in his heart, slapped the urgent report on the table, and scolded:

"These traitors! Dare to rebel! ”

I heard the word "rebellion".

Wei Dongzheng was shocked, looked at Emperor Zhou, and couldn't wait to ask:

"Your Majesty, where is the rebellion?"

Emperor Zhou looked at Wei Dongzheng, his eyes were bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"The few prefectures you selected to try out the new deal have all been reversed!"

Moment.

Wei Dongzheng was like being struck by lightning, stood in place in a daze, and muttered to himself:

"This ...... How is this possible......"

The few prefectures he selected were all far away from Jingshi, and they were not considered rich.

The local gentry were also relatively weak.

For no reason, how can it be reversed?

Just because the imperial court decreed that they should implement a new policy?

It shouldn't be!

A moment later.

Wei Dongzheng, who had regained his composure, looked at Emperor Zhou and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the place chosen by the minister will not easily rebel, there must be something strange in this!" ”

Emperor Zhou glared at him and said angrily: "I don't want to hear you talk about this nonsense now, you just need to tell me!" What to do now! ”

Wei Dongzheng was silent for a while, and replied: "The minister thinks that the current plan should be a quick battle and a quick victory, and the tiger army should be recruited!" Hurry up before winter and exterminate the thieves! ”

Emperor Zhou said angrily: "This also wants the Tiger Army, then it also needs the Tiger Army, the Tiger Army you should be the one fell from the sky!" ”

When Wei Dongzheng heard this, he subconsciously looked at Emperor Zhou.

Immediately, he seemed to realize something, and persuaded: "Your Majesty, the rebellion of the southwestern provinces is a matter of great importance, and the Tiger Ben army should be put down in rebellion first, and then defend the Beijing Division." ”

Zhou Huang said coldly:

"The rebels are only one or two guards, adding up to less than 10,000 people, so this is going to send out the Tiger Army?"

This sentence basically represents Emperor Zhou's decision.

Wei Dongzheng chuckled in his heart, and wanted to persuade again.

Emperor Zhou waved his hand and said: "I have made up my mind, recruit the Tiger Ben Army, and defend the Jing Division!" ”

"The southwestern prefectures, more than 3,000 miles away from the capital division, will not pose a threat to me in a short period of time!"

"What I have to guard against now is a few prefectures around the Jingshi, so as not to cause another accident!"

Wei Dongzheng said anxiously: "Then how should the rebels be handled?" ”

Zhou Huang said: "Send General Annan, and he will command the soldiers of the Southwest Guard, and lead the troops to quell the rebellion!" ”

When Wei Dongzheng heard this, his expression became even more anxious, and he opened his mouth to say something.

Before he could speak, he was interrupted by Emperor Zhou:

"Wei Dongzheng, don't make some nonsense suggestions!"

"I just listened to so many of your suggestions, which caused the court to fall into such turmoil as it is now!"

"It's come to this, it's useless to say anything, you continue to implement your new policy, don't ask about the rest!"

Hear this.

Wei Dongzheng was silent for a long time, and only then did he sigh in his heart and salute a little dejectedly.

"The minister retired."

With that, turn around and leave.

Emperor Zhou looked at his back, his face gloomy.

After a while, Fang withdrew his gaze and looked at the eunuch on the side, intending to give some orders.

As soon as he opened his mouth, before he could say a word, he coughed again.

"Ahem, ahem, ......"

This violent coughing sound echoed in the Qianqing Palace for a long time......

............

Qianguo.

The Imperial Palace, the Palace of Nourishing the Heart.

Dragon chair.

Wu Mingkong had a slender little hand, supporting his head.

starry eyes, looking ahead.

In my mind, the picture of Yin Renju is still repeating.

At that time, I was obviously nervous to death, and my mind was blank.

But looking back now, all the images seem to be engraved in my mind, and I remember them very well.

Even the details.

At that time, he was covered with osmanthus fragrant fat powder, which smelled very good......

The eyes are beautiful......

Lip...... It's soft......

Thinking about it.

The little empress couldn't help but recall the feeling at that time.

Subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

Behind.

Seeing this, Lin Wan'er pursed her lips and said in her heart: Didn't you just kiss it, there is... Well, it's been a few days since I was saved.

remembered what the little empress had instructed before, and reminded her when she was distracted.

Lin Wan'er called softly: "Your Majesty ......"

"Huh?"

The little empress turned her head a little dazedly, looked at Lin Wan'er, and saw her eyes before she came back to her senses.

Turn your head and continue to read the cantata.

The first piece of music was sent by the Ministry of Rites.

It's the same as the previous times.

persuade the little empress that she is not young, she must start the draft early, and give birth to an heir while she is young, so that the country can be stable.

The little empress pursed her lips, she didn't even bother to annotate, she directly spent a fork on it and threw it aside.

The next recital was still presented by the Ministry of Rites.

This time, I asked about the big day of Prime Minister Fang Xiu and Li Yingyue, the eldest princess of Zhou, when is the right time.

The Ministry of Rites listed several auspicious days and handed them over to the little empress to choose.

Of course.

Normally, the marriage of a courtier should not be interrogated by the emperor.

It's just that the marriage between Fang Xiu and Li Yingyue is the marriage of the empress, so some specific details have to be decided by the little empress.

For example, this wedding date.

The little empress looked at this piece and felt that something was blocked in her chest, and she couldn't spit it out, she couldn't swallow it, and it was very uncomfortable.

There was silence for a while.

She gritted her teeth and chose the latest of the auspicious days, which she had to wait until after the beginning of spring.

After annotation.

She threw the piece aside in a fit of rage, forcing herself not to think about it, and to pick up the next one.

This piece of music is no longer presented by the Ministry of Rites, but by Yongzhou.

There's a lot of content.

In short, it is next to several prefectures of Yongzhou that belong to the Zhou State...... Rebellion!

The rebellion here is naturally the rebellion of Emperor Zhou, but the name is on the side of the Qing monarch.

The requirements put forward are also very simple, just two.

First, ask the cabinet deputy Wei Dongzheng.

Second, it promised not to implement the New Deal again.

This kind of thing on the side of Qing Jun is not uncommon in this world.

Generally speaking, it was initiated by the feudal officials of the secession side, or the vassal king.

It was the first time I had heard of it like Zhou Guo, which was initiated by a small guard commander.

But.

From the current point of view, this time the "Qingjun side" is really not a small fight.

In just a few days, three or four guards responded, and more than 20,000 soldiers participated!

In addition, although several guards around the area did not respond to the Qingjun side, they did not send troops to fight, indicating that they were still in a wait-and-see state.

Winter is coming soon.

Emperor Zhou wanted to quell the rebellion, but it is estimated that it will not be able to solve it for a while, at least it will have to be delayed until the beginning of spring next year.

At that point, nothing will necessarily happen.

"He's not wrong......"

"Less than half a year after Emperor Zhou implemented the new policy, he had already fallen into turmoil, and even attracted the border soldiers to ...... the 'Qingjun side'"

"If I implement the new policy, I am afraid that in less than half a year, I will drown in the lake......"

Thinking so, the little empress suddenly felt a little panicked in her heart.

I stood up and wanted to go out for a walk.

Seeing this, Lin Wan'er hurriedly picked up a big piece and chased after her.

"Your Majesty, it's cold outside, you put the big coat on ......"

The little empress waved her hand and said, "I just want to be calm and calm. ”

Lin Wan'er took the big sword and followed the little empress out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and she didn't know whether to do it or not.

I hesitate.

The big drummer in his hand was suddenly snatched away.

"Who dares to ......"

Lin Wan'er opened her eyes wide, turned her head to look, and saw the person clearly, and her voice stopped abruptly.

"Fang Xiang ......"

Fang Xiu nodded, took Da Yu over, stepped forward, draped it on the little empress's body, took her in his arms, and said softly:

"Your Majesty is not resting in the Heart Cultivation Palace, what are you doing when you come out......"
