329. The court panicked
On July 20, Zhao Hui, who had been locked up in the palace for more than half a year, actually obtained the permission of Zhao Guan's family and moved to Yanwang's Mansion to "live for a while".
"How did you convince your father?" Zhao Mengqi asked curiously.
Zhao Hui, who had regained her freedom, was full of joy, and when she heard this question, she couldn't help but show a trace of grief on her face when she thought of her life in "captivity".
"Fourth brother, you are really ruthless, it's been so long, and you don't want to think of a way to save me, if I hadn't seized the opportunity myself, I would definitely have been trapped and died inside......
Save!?
Good fellow, you really use the palace as a prison, and don't look at how many people are desperately trying to get into it......
Zhao Mengqi could only deliberately ignore Zhao Hui's resentment and touched his nose, "Aren't I busy?"
"Heh, if you change the matter of the mother, you will definitely be interested." Zhao Wei glanced at the eccentric brother, and became miserable again.
"Woo... I'm really miserable, I lost my mother early, and now my father has a green brother, and he doesn't spoil me as much as before, and the only brother is still so partial...... Woo, no one hurts and no one loves, what's the point of my life......
This stunt of crying, making trouble and hanging himself is used, and most ordinary men can't resist it, but it's hard to say when it comes to Zhao Mengqi.
"If you become a demon again, I will immediately have someone send you back to the palace."
As soon as these words came out, the clouds immediately stopped raining, and Zhao Hui seemed to change her face, and there was no trace of sadness, but she was full of sneers.
"Don't don't, fourth brother, you are not partial, you are not partial, the best person in this world for Bao Niang is the fourth brother, and being able to be a sister to the fourth brother is a blessing that Yu Niang has cultivated for ten lifetimes......
Zhao Mengqi couldn't help but roll his eyes, and was really speechless at his fairy, ghostly and cheeky sister.
"Tell me, how the hell did you get out?"
successfully survived the crisis of being sent back to the palace, Zhao Wei stopped making trouble, and smiled, "I was able to come out this time, thanks to Tang An'an."
"Tang An'an?" Zhao Mengqi was a little inexplicable.
Zhao Hui continued, "Yes, my father has recently become obsessed with this vixen, so I deliberately went to him if I had nothing to do...... Hehe, my father naturally didn't want me, the daughter, to see the ugly things between him and Tang An'an, so as soon as I said I wanted to come out, he agreed to it."
This girl is really ghostly, and she actually uses this method to pinch her father.
Although it is very common to be the emperor's indulgence, it is still ridiculous to have a relationship with a maid, not to mention being directly summoned into the inner palace.
You must know that Zhao Ji and Master Li were so good at you, and I didn't dare to take people into the palace.
Not to mention that this matter will cause an uproar in the world when it spreads outside, and the crowd will be surging, even if it is known by his daughter, Zhao Yun's old face can't be hung up.
But with Zhao Hui's status, there is no place in the harem where she can't go, she always has to "harass" her father, and others are not easy to stop, even if she can stop it for a while, she can't stop it for a lifetime.
Lao Zhao thought that Zhao Hui didn't know, and he didn't expect that she actually did it on purpose, so he simply let her out of the palace with a weak heart.
Zhao Mengqi was not interested in Lao Zhao's private life, but he faintly felt that something was wrong, so he frowned and asked, "How did you know about this?" Can you still be sure it's Tang An'an?"
This kind of thing, of course, is extremely confidential, and the palace must have issued a gag order, although it may not really be able to be sealed.
"It was I who met Old Man Lin a few days ago, and he accidentally leaked his mouth." Zhao Wei blinked.
Old man Lin? How could he possibly say that he leaked his mouth!?
Zhao Mengqi turned in his mind, and he understood a little.
Nowadays, in order not to cause misunderstanding between father and son, Zhao Mengqi rarely goes to inquire about the affairs of the inner palace.
Anyway, if there is really something harmful to him, Old Man Lin will definitely pass on the word to him, but Lao Zhao's private affairs, it is not easy to talk about it.
However, Old Man Lin may not approve of the old man's actions, or he may have noticed that there was a problem inside, so he deliberately leaked it to Zhao Hui.
"Your golden cicada's method of shedding its shell, shouldn't it have been taught by Lin Lao?"
"Ah, how are you, fourth brother
What do you know?" Zhao Wei was a little surprised, and then grinned, "Actually, it's not what he taught, he just told me not to go to my father casually, otherwise my father will be very shameless if I see something I shouldn't see......
Isn't that enough?
Do you still expect the old woman to do a huge cunning guy and directly instigate you to do bad things?
Zhao Mengqi raised his eyebrows, "What else do you know, it's about Tang An'an, tell me in detail."
"Oh... It seems that Yan Guifei introduced people into the palace, I guess she may think that she is old and decrepit, so she asked the fox spirit to help her fix her favor, she left Tang An'an in her Ciyuan Palace, where her father spent the night every day, and her own Funing Palace did not return, let alone go to other concubines......
Zhao Hui said in pieces, but Zhao Mengqi thought about it.
It seems that the Zhang family and Concubine Yan should have joined forces, probably trying to make Lao Zhao change his mind and establish Zhao Lu as the prince in the future.
I said why the Zhang family was so calm, it turned out that he just didn't plan to deal with himself head-on, but dug the foot of the wall in a roundabout way.
This kind of gloomy and steady method is indeed in line with the style of the century-old family.
However, even if their plan succeeds and they use beauty or something to turn Lao Zhao into an old fool, then they have to wait for Xiao Zhao Lu to grow up to be seven or eight years old and healthy, before he can be appointed as the heir, after all, the infant mortality rate at this time is too terrifying.
However, at that time, his foundation has been solidified, and who will inherit this throne may not be able to rely on Lao Zhao......
Thinking like this, Zhao Mengqi gradually stopped taking this matter to heart.
First, he really doesn't like this kind of chattering palace fight, and second, he thinks that in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy is just a joke.
As long as he follows his plan now and develops in a down-to-earth manner, no one will be able to shake his position in the future.
This idea may be correct, but the edge he showed has already cut the flesh of many people, how can he grow up with peace of mind.
Not to mention anything else, Wen Tianxiang's three-month training for this batch of jinshi is about to end, which also means that the big knife of the Department of Integrity is about to be wielded, watching the noose gradually fall to the neck, many corrupt officials naturally do not hesitate to take risks!
Two days later, an emergency report came from Fujian Road.
There was a peasant rebellion in Ninghua County, Tingzhou, the county seat was breached, the magistrate was killed, and many people were coerced to join the rebels, claiming that there were 10,000 soldiers!
After receiving the news, the Lin'an government and the opposition did not react much, from Prime Minister Dong Huai to the small people in the market, they didn't seem to take it too seriously.
As the saying goes, where there is oppression, there is resistance.
When the land annexation was too serious, many landless peasants could not survive, so they naturally had no choice but to rebel.
Regardless of the dynasty, even if a strict policy is enacted to prevent land annexation, as the privileged class grows, land annexation will inevitably occur, which will lead to drastic changes in the dynasty.
The annexation of the Song Dynasty was like a wild horse, which had not been controlled since the founding of the country, so peasant uprisings became commonplace.
However, the Song Dynasty also had a developed handicraft industry and commerce, which to a certain extent left a way for the landless peasants to make a living, and also provided relatively stable financial support to the imperial court, so that the imperial court had sufficient ability to suppress or recruit security.
To put it simply, the level of stability maintenance in the Song Dynasty was very strong, so the peasant uprisings in the Song Dynasty were basically local, and they didn't last too long, but the number of times was really many.
For example, four years ago, tenant farmers in Deqing County, Xiuzhou, opposed landlords to collect rents with big buckets and demanded "lower buckets", which later developed into an armed uprising, with tens of thousands of people participating, but it was suppressed not long after.
Fujian Road and Jiangxi Road have one thing in common, that is, there are a lot of people studying and becoming officials, so there are more bureaucratic landlords than in other places, and the exploitation of the peasants is even more cruel.
In particular, Ganzhou in Jiangxi and Tingzhou in Fujian have always been high-incidence areas of peasant uprisings.
The biggest one that happened before was the first year of Shaoding in the fourth year of Zhao Yun's accession to the throne.
First of all, farmers in Ganzhou
Chen Sangun and Zhang Mowang held an uprising, based on Songzi Mountain, and built more than 60 villages at the junction of Jiangxi, Fujian, and Guangdong, which attracted the response of nearby farmers.
More than a year later, there was a smuggler named Yan Mengbiao in Tingzhou, who also led the army to conquer Ninghua, Qingliu, Jiangle, Liancheng, Shanghang and other cities, and then went north to conquer Jianning, Taining, and Shaowu Army, and developed to Quanzhou and Xinghua Army along the coast, almost occupying most of the Fujian Road, and even the defenders of Tingzhou City responded to the mutiny.
This trend of burning the prairie even spread to the two Zhejiang Road, Shaoding four years Quzhou people Wang Xu, Lai Er led the people to revolt, breaking through Changshan, Kaihua and other counties, the momentum is not small.
I have to say that the scale of this uprising is still very scary, in the face of such a situation, Zhao Yun in February of the third year of Shaoding, had to reinstate Chen Wei as a direct bachelor of Baozhang Pavilion, Zhinan Jianzhou, and also promoted Tingzhou, Shao Wujun and Fujian Road soldiers and horses, and took measures to arrest thieves.
At the same time, the imperial court also dispatched Wang Zuzhong, a famous general in Huaixi, to lead 3,500 elite soldiers into Fujian for reinforcements.
Chen Wei is still very talented in military affairs, took a little time to prepare, and in July of that year, he personally sent troops to Shaxian, Shunchang, Jiangle, Qingliu, Ninghua and other places to supervise the arrest of thieves, the army was invincible, and it only took half a year for the rebellion in Tingzhou to be quelled.
Then he continued to pursue the rebellion in Quzhou, and sent the Huaixi general Li Dasheng to raise 700 troops, and by surprise, he broke through the traitor camp by night.
Subsequently, he took over the task of counterinsurgency in Jiangxi, and it took less than a year to put down all of them.
It is worth mentioning that Song Ci, who was famous for forensic medicine in later generations, was actually very powerful in military affairs, and he also participated in this series of counterinsurgency operations, and often led an army alone, with extraordinary achievements.
In this world, there are always some cattle people who can not only cross borders, but also do better than some professions.
In general, peasant uprisings in the Song Dynasty were frequent, but it was difficult to do much harm to the Zhao and Song dynasties.
Often, once someone rebelled, the imperial court performed tricks, and most uprisings were broken up at the beginning.
Of course, Zhao'an is not a hundred tried-and-done, and sometimes it will make the rebellion bigger, just like this time in Shaodingnian, which lasted for thousands of miles and lasted for several years.
But the imperial court was forced to be in a hurry, as long as a reliable official was selected and three or five thousand elites were drawn from the front line, it would be easily suppressed.
Therefore, the imperial court did not attach importance to the rebellion in Ninghua County, but only issued an edict to Zhang Yanran, the governor of Tingzhou, so that he could be appeased and calm down the incident as soon as possible.
After Zhao Mengqi heard about this, he didn't pay much attention to it, but just teased carefully, "Fortunately, I left you in the shogunate and transferred your father away, otherwise you might have to suffer."
Originally, the governor of Tingzhou was Zhou Mi's father Zhou Jin, but Zhao Mengqi transferred him to Changzhou in order to keep Zhou Mi, and then Zhang Yanran took over.
If it weren't for this, Zhou Mi and his father would indeed be in Tingzhou at this time.
Therefore, Zhou Mi did feel lucky, "His Royal Highness knows about it, and Weichen Sansheng is lucky."
Everyone thought it was just a disease of ringworm, but only seven days later, the edict was estimated to be still on the road, and another 100,000 urgent military information came from Fujian Road, which shattered the eyes of the Manchu civil and military forces.
Shanghang, Liancheng, Wuping, Qingliu counties, and even Changting County, where Tingzhou Prefecture is located, were all broken by the rebels, and Zhizhou Zhang Yanran and other officials were captured and disappeared!
In addition, the miners in the northwest of Quanzhou, Nanjianzhou, Shaowujun and other places rioted and occupied most of the mining areas, and there were also signs of rebellion in the counties under Jianning Prefecture.
That is to say, in addition to Fuzhou, the entire Fujian Road is full of flames!
At this time, the court began to panic a little.
