129. The Lin'an Rebellion
Two days later, Lin'an City.
"Holy!"
"Holy Lord...!"
"Oh no!"
"Oh no!"
At this time, a eunuch hurriedly came to see Zhao Gou, who was discussing with Tang Siwei and others.
"What's wrong?"
"What's going on?"
Tang Siwei hurriedly asked the eunuch on behalf of Zhao Gou.
"Back to the saint, the prime minister!"
"Outside the city of Lin'an, a group of generals rebelled... Rebellion! ”
The eunuch had a panicked expression on his face.
"The generals have rebelled?"
"Who dares to rebel?"
"Why don't you catch them?"
Tang Siwei immediately asked.
"No... It's not that you can't catch it, it's that you can't catch it! ”
"I can't catch it!"
The eunuch responded.
"Why can't you catch it?"
"Why are they rebelling!"
"You explain it to me!"
Zhao Gou couldn't help it.
"They... They are all ...... escorting Liu Dutong's coffin! ”
The eunuch recounted.
It turned out that the group of generals who escorted Liu Qi's coffin back to Lin'an began to be dissatisfied after hearing the news that Shuo had been imprisoned by Yang Cunzhong.
Then these generals began to mobilize the forbidden army outside Lin'an City, and these forbidden troops were already very dissatisfied with the current situation, and as soon as they were instigated, they naturally began to respond.
So the entire Lin'an City is now full of condemnation.
"You said they all shouted that they wanted me to release Yang Cunzhong and then abdicate to make way for Xian?"
Zhao Gou was also a little incredulous.
"Yes!"
"They all have slogans like this!"
The eunuch responded.
So Zhao Gou immediately came to the city tower with hundreds of officials and began to look outside the city.
At this time, I found that the soldiers outside were densely packed, all waving the weapons in their hands, and shouting, 'Let go of Mrs. Yang!' The slogan of 'abdication and making way for the virtuous'.
When they saw Emperor Zhao Gou coming to the city tower in person, the cries of these soldiers seemed to be louder.
This frightened Zhao Gou almost collapsed on the ground, and even his pants were wet from incontinence.
At this time, Tang Siwei and others on the side immediately helped Zhao Gou up.
"It's... These people are all reversed! ”
"It's the other way around...!"
"It's... How's that good? ”
Zhao Gou panicked all of a sudden.
"Holy!"
"Holy Lord, don't worry!"
"Don't worry!"
"The minister has a plan!"
Tang Siwei seemed to have figured out a way.
"Tang Qing, what can you do?"
"Tell me... Say it! ”
Zhao Gou urged.
"Back to the Holy One!"
"Since these people want you to let Yang Cunzhong go, you can let it go for the time being, and don't you lose it out of sight and out of mind?"
"As for abdicating and giving way, it doesn't hurt if you agree to them for the time being!"
"As for when to abdicate and make way for Xian, won't it take time?"
"This time can be long or short, isn't it all in your hands?"
Tang Sihui suggested.
"Tang Qing, you're right!"
"Yes!"
"That's it, promise them, promise them!"
Of course, Zhao Gou agreed.
So Zhao Gou immediately ordered someone to issue a will, release Yang Cunzhong, and agree to the soldiers' request to abdicate and make way for Xian.
When these soldiers saw that their goal had been achieved, they also began to scatter one after another.
Chang'an City, Jingzhao Prefecture.
"Did you Xixia agree to continue to buy horses with us at the original price?"
Xu Xian met Li Qianyun in the temporary hall.
"Back to Your Majesty!"
"We, Xixia, are willing to continue to sell horses to you at the original price!"
"However, we in the Great Xia Kingdom hope that your Shu Kingdom can open a border trading place and sell your silk, porcelain and other items from the Central Plains to our Great Xia Kingdom!"
"After all, your country should also understand that in the past few years, because of the war between the Jin Kingdom and you, the roads have been blocked, and our Great Xia Kingdom has not conducted the original trade with the Central Plains for a long time!"
"So our Great Xia Kingdom is now in urgent need of your Central Plains silk, porcelain and other objects, I hope you can agree to our Great Xia Kingdom's request!"
Li Qianyun proposed.
"Okay!"
"I've wanted to trade with you Western Xia for a long time!"
"From today onwards, I will send someone to resume trade with you Western Xia on the border!"
After Xu Xian saw Li Qianyun put forward the request he had been looking forward to, he immediately agreed.
After all, since the founding of Xu Xian, he basically did not conduct much trade with any neighboring countries, it was nothing more than that these neighboring countries looked down on their own countries, and even did not recognize their own Ming regime.
Now that Xixia took the initiative to trade with him, Xu Xian certainly couldn't ask for it.
Although the national strength of the Western Xia is not as good as that of the Song and Jin, the Western Xia has the only way to the Western Regions, and can temporarily trade with the Western Xia, and the future development of Xu Xian's Daming can be imagined.
So Xu Xian hurriedly began to issue orders to develop agriculture, plant wheat and silkworms, and supervise the production of porcelain.
While continuing to support the army and suppressing the Song dynasty in the east and center, we began to produce on a large scale in the territory.
On this day, Xu Xian was working with Lu You on how to restore production in the Guanzhong area, when suddenly Yue Zhen came to meet him.
"Enlighten the Holy Lord!"
"Zhao... The mausoleum has already seen the tomb gate!! ”
Yue Zhen reported.
"Zhaoling saw the tomb door?"
"Your Majesty!"
"What does that mean?"
Lu You on the side showed an incredible look.
"Lu Qing, since that's the case!"
"I won't hide it from you!"
"In fact, the money we have been needing to raise the army all along, in addition to what we got from Bianjing City, is obtained by these golden captains!"
"Otherwise, just relying on the legacy of those golden people in Bianjing City, how can we maintain our huge expenditure now?"
Seeing that at this time, Xu Xian couldn't hide Lu You anymore, so he simply told him about setting up a gold school captain.
"But... But Your Majesty! ”
"You are now the one who wants to build your own country, how can you send someone to do such a stealing thing?"
"If this matter spreads, how can the people obey Your Majesty at that time!"
Lu You looked surprised at this time.
"Of course I understand Lu Qing's worries!"
"But our Ming regime has just been established, how can we maintain it without enough money?"
"And didn't Cao Cao also make a living from this back then, so he founded his own Cao Wei regime?"
"So if we can use the treasures left by these emperors as a resource to drive out the Tartars and make the people of the world live in peace, why not?"
"Since there are gains, of course there are also losses, Lu Qing shouldn't not understand this truth, right?"
Xu Xian explained to Lu You.
"That's it!"
"As long as we can drive out the Tartars, liberate the poor people, and return the rivers and mountains of the Central Plains, it makes sense to use these things that were once emperors!"
"But the Zhaoling Tomb you just talked about was once the resting place of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty?"
Lu You asked.
"Yes!"
"It is the Zhaoling of Tang Taizong!"
Xu Xian responded.
"Your Majesty, you... I'm afraid it's not appropriate to move Tang Taizong's Zhaoling, right? ”
"This Tang Taizong is a generation of Ming monarchs who have been handed down for hundreds of years!"
"If this news spreads in the future, what will those people think of you, Your Majesty?"
When Lu You learned that Xu Xian was going to move Tang Taizong's mausoleum, he still expressed his opposition.
"Lu Qing, you should also know that since the eons of time, how many emperors' tombs have been destroyed in one fell swoop, and it is nothing more than the gold and jade hidden in them!"
"And the place where Tang Taizong rests, the record is a place where countless treasures are hidden, and even Huang Chao and Wen Tao have coveted it, but it's a pity that neither of them found the entrance to the tomb!"
"Now that I, Xu Xian, have found it, if I don't move, others will move in the future?"
"And we took the gold and jade for the people of the world, for the sake of resisting gold, not to make a fortune, I believe that Tang Taizong will not blame us!"
Xu Xian continued to explain.
