"On the sixth day of the seventh month, Yan Wei completely controlled Beiping.

On the seventh day of the seventh month, Yan rebelled against Song Zhong outside the city of Beiping, and the garrisons of Kaiping and Huailai were lost.

On the ninth day of the seventh month, Jizhou was attacked, and Zunhua and Miyun rebelled.

On July 11, he broke through Juyong Pass and occupied Kaiping and Huailai.

On July 14, Yongping Province rebelled.

On July 17, in order to prevent the Daning garrison from sneaking into Beiping from Songting Pass, Yan set up a counter-plot to cause internal strife in Songting Pass, and the guard general Bu Wan, who sent troops with all his strength, was imprisoned, and Daning was attacked at night. ”

There was silence in the Jinluan Palace, only the trembling young eunuch was reading the battle report from the north, and everyone bowed their heads slightly, not daring to look at the face of the young emperor sitting above.

It's too fast... Everything happened too fast, Fang Xiaoru and the others who knew the inside story in the imperial study in advance were okay, after all, they and the young emperor made the decision to do it first, but the hundred officials of the imperial court didn't know anything about this matter at all, in their opinion, King Yan was still the scoundrel who had just left Jinling and had to pretend to be crazy and stupid in order to protect himself.

How is it that after such a short period of time, a Beiping city has changed hands, and Yan Wei has swept away the entire area around Beiping, with nearly 100,000 troops?

It's ridiculous... Before the decision was made to cut the feudal domain, there were no ministers in the DPRK who thought that there would be such a rebellion, but no one could have predicted that the situation would be so bad and the momentum would be so big!

If there is a problem with the two nine-sided important towns of Datong Xuanfu, plus Liaodong, King Yan will occupy the entire land of Youyan... Do you want to repeat the scene of the southern invasion of the Jin Kingdom during the Song Dynasty?

The battle report was sent to Jinling yesterday evening, and now it's nearly August, who knows what the situation is in the north now?

The atmosphere in the hall is so heavy that it makes it a little hard to breathe... The voice of the eunuch reading the war report also made people a little more irritated, the young emperor should have thought the same way, after hearing that the last army near Beiping that might suppress the rebellion was attacked and broken by King Yan, the gloomy look on his face could no longer be concealed.

Of course, there are more slaps in the face... Judging from Zhu Di's series of circumstances, he has been preparing for this day for a long time, and the soldiers, weapons and armor, grain, grass and horses are very sufficient, but he still lacks one thing, that is, the reason for the rebellion.

In any case, even if it is unreasonable for the imperial court to cut the feudal domain, it is really within the scope of legal principles, and all Zhu Di can do is to accept it, and it is a great rebellion to rebel after all.

Do you need a reason to rebel? Yes, much needed.

In fact, this problem has been bothering Zhu Di and Dao Yan for a long time... In the activity of rebellion, the reason seems to be insignificant, and the more important thing is the strength of the territory and the like, but in fact, although the reason is not a necessity, and none of them can rebel, if you don't want to be spurned by the world, you must have a slogan that can perfunctory the past.

This is especially true for Zhu Di, he is a vassal king, not a poor peasant, the object of rebellion is still an emperor who has been legally recognized, or the next emperor designated by the founding Taizu himself... No matter from which point of view, Zhu Di is at a loss, and not many people can empathize with the fact that the vassal king is oppressed and wants his family to be ruined, so a reason is really necessary, even if he can't deceive the officials in the court and the generals who command the army, he can also deceive the people and himself.

So after Gu Huai joined, the three people in the palace played a perfect edge ball... In fact, the scheming Zhu Yuanzhang realized that his son was very likely to rise up and create his grandson's rebellion, after all, he decided to succeed to the throne of the feudal king, and he also decided to succeed the young Zhu Yunwen.

But the problem is not only in the vassal king, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born to work hard, quickly thought that there may also be traitors in the court, so he also stipulated that the kings can raise troops to serve the king at a critical moment, that is, the so-called "the court has no ministers, and there is evil in it, then the prince trains the troops and leads the troops, and the Son of Heaven secretly edicts the kings to lead the troops to calm the town."

There is a key point in this regulation, that is, the need for a secret edict from the Son of Heaven, but this point is not difficult to solve in the eyes of the three people of Yanwangfu... When Gu Huai put forward this idea, Zhu Di gave full play to his shameless skills, and took out the original rhetoric in the Jinluan Palace and said it again, and what was even more unbelievable was that he actually wrote these things together with Dao Yan, and openly played them to the court and asked for people from the court.

People don't want to be invincible in the world, presumably even if Zhu Yunwen doesn't agree to this recital, they will come up with something like "clothes and ribbons", anyway, they can fool the people.

That piece of music was now on the table in front of Zhu Yunwen, and every time his eyes swept over it, Zhu Yunwen could feel his face crackling.

Zhu Di is inevitably too unlikely.

But the matter has come to this point, it is useless to dwell too much on Zhu Di's style of doing things, the surroundings of Beiping have been eroded, and the counterinsurgency must be quelled, the focus is on how to pacify.

The disadvantage of poor information is reflected here, at the beginning of July, King Yan raised troops, but at the end of July the imperial court can begin to react to this series of things, of course, this is also to blame on the head of the political envoy of Beiping, his duty is to watch King Yan, and at the same time has the right to make decisions on the spot, but who knows that he will die so stupid?

Zhu Yunwen held the handrail on the back of his hand, and the green tendons were highlighted: "Enough." ”

The eunuch retreated in fear, and Zhu Yunwen raised his gaze: "Yan rebelled against the book to the capital, and it is a foregone conclusion that Beiping will change hands, can you have any suggestions?" ”

One after another, eyes focused on Qi Tai, the secretary of the Ministry of War, as the number one person in the Ministry of War, and one of the actual proposers of the plan to cut the domain, it was reasonable that he should speak first at this time.

It happened suddenly, although Qi Tai was appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of War, but a scholar, in the face of this sudden war, the preparation was inevitably a little insufficient, but the colleagues in the same hall and the Son of Heaven looked at him, and he could not hesitate, and he could only stubbornly go out and give up:

"Your Majesty, Yan rebelled against the ambition of the wolf, and rebelled, which is really a great rebellion, Your Majesty should sacrifice to the Heaven and Earth Sect Temple, and write to the kings to cut Yan Rebellion's subordinate status, so as to deter the kings, and at the same time send a large army, the army of the kings... to put down the rebellion together. ”

As soon as these words came out, the civil officials didn't react, and there was an uproar in the queue of the military generals, God, King Yan has rebelled, and the dignified military department Shangshu does not discuss the details of sending troops, but wants to cut the title of King Yan first, what are you thinking?

When will it be the turn of the Ministry of Rites to speak? The plan to send troops is a fluttering sentence of "send troops as soon as possible, and the kings will cooperate"?

This is the favorite minister of the Son of Heaven who joked in the past that "the kings are nothing but chickens and dogs"? !
