Chapter 299: Qingjun's side

The following year, in May.

Liu Cheng, Huo Dingwen and Yan Shichun walked into the empress's alchemy room at the same time.

The three of them said in unison.

"See Your Majesty."

Seeing the three of them at the same time, Jiang Qingying realized that things were not simple.

"What's the matter?"

Liu Cheng and Yan Shichun were silent, and at the same time looked at Huo Dingwen who was standing in the middle.

Huo Dingwen took a step forward and said bluntly.

"Your Majesty, Guangling Road, Huainan Road, Longyou Road, and Shannan Road are full of thieves, and hundreds of thousands of people have gathered in the pass.

Please give your Majesty's order to mobilize the army of the North to quell the rebellion. ”

"What?"

Jiang Qingying got up suddenly, and couldn't even care about the pills in the Dan furnace.

"Where did you get so many thieves?"

Huo Dingwen looked at Liu Cheng and Yan Shichun beside him, and signaled that it was time for them to speak.

But Liu Cheng and Yan Shichun just didn't see it, and the two of them lowered their heads and didn't say a word.

Seeing this, Huo Dingwen could only continue.

"Before Dachu, there were places that were affected by disasters, but the disaster was not so serious.

This year is another major drought, and there are people living in all directions, and these people have gathered together in an attempt to coerce the Jingshi. ”

Jiang Qingying stared at Huo Dingwen, a little puzzled.

"If it's a disaster, why don't you go for relief?"

"Your Majesty, the treasury has run out of money."

"What?"

Huo Dingwen explained.

"Your Majesty, the conquest of the Three Kingdoms has almost exhausted the treasury.

A few years ago, there were successive heavy snowfalls in the north, and the people of the Northern Qi Dynasty suffered heavy losses, and the imperial court wanted disaster relief.

I also need relief from the great drought in many places, and the treasury has no money to continue to take out. ”

When the place is bigger, the more people they manage.

Originally, the people of the Western Zhou, Liang, and Northern Qi have all become the people of Great Chu.

Therefore, wherever the disaster is affected, they will take care of it.

The taxes in various places have not yet been collected, but the court has to keep taking money out, even if there is more money, it can't withstand it.

Hearing this, Jiang Qingying immediately said.

"My inner treasury, I can take out the money in the inner treasury, and you can use it for disaster relief first."

Huo Dingwen hurriedly said.

"Your Majesty, now that the displaced people are coercing Jingshi, it's no longer time to think about disaster relief."

"Why didn't you report this earlier?"

Hearing this, Liu Cheng finally spoke.

"Your Majesty, there are too many affected places, even if you take out the inner library, it will not be enough."

On the side, Yan Shichun also spoke.

"Moreover, this time the anti-thieves gathered very quickly, as if someone was pushing behind it."

As he spoke, he didn't forget to glance at Huo Dingwen.

In fact, who is behind it, he and Liu Cheng know it in their hearts.

The implementation of the new policy throughout the country has harmed the interests of many people, especially the powerful Western Zhou gatekeepers.

This time, there is a shadow of the Western Zhou Dynasty behind the riots of the displaced people.

Moreover, Huo Dingwen's new policy was tried out among officials across the country, and it received a great backlash.

Those officials felt that they had made less money, so they intensified their oppression of the people.

Therefore, the wind of corruption is more serious than before.

It's not that he doesn't want to tell the empress about these things, but the empress doesn't listen to them at all.

Now that he is looking back, today's situation has been doomed from the moment Li Yunsheng left the Beijing Division.

If Li Yunsheng didn't leave, maybe it wouldn't have reached the point where he is now.

Jiang Qingying took a deep breath.

"In that case, let's mobilize the northern army to quell the chaos first."

……

Northland.

The moment Wang He received the holy decree, his hands trembled unconsciously.

"Order all the soldiers to immediately prepare to pull out the camp and rush to the Beijing Division to quell the rebellion!"

On the side, the deputy general walked up to Wang He and whispered.

"General, are we going to prepare?"

They did not prepare any food, grass, equipment, etc., and where 100,000 people could say that they would pull out the camp.

"Fu Long!"

The lieutenant immediately clenched his fists.

"The last general!"

"Are you a general or am I a general?"

As soon as he heard this, Fu Long also understood what he meant, and said loudly.

"Obey the general's military orders, immediately prepare to pull out the camp, and rush to the Beijing division to quell the rebellion!"

Wang He nodded with satisfaction.

"Your Majesty is in danger, so you must arrive in Beijing as soon as possible.

Those outcasts are nothing more than a rabble, and they are not vulnerable at all. ”

"Yes!"

After speaking, Fu Long quickly withdrew from the big tent.

In just half a month, Wang He hurriedly marched to the land of Beijing.

Jiang Qingying stood on top of the city, looking at the hundreds of thousands of troops composed of homeless people in front of him, Jiang Qingying only felt a little heartache.

These people are just ordinary people, but they have embarked on such a road.

She didn't want to involve hundreds of thousands of people because of a plot to lure the King of Qin out.

If she had known that this would be the case, she would have gone to the Jin Kingdom to ask for help from that guy.

As soon as Li Yunsheng left, Da Chu was in a lot of disasters, and she didn't know if this guy had known that this would be the case for a long time.

After all, she clearly remembered that Li Yunsheng was an unpredictable prophet during the great drought in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

However, on the first day of the siege of the rebel army, Wang He arrived.

In the face of the northern iron cavalry, the rebel army was crushed with a single blow, and then collapsed.

In just five days, the rebellion was put down by Wang He.

Shangshu Province.

Huo Dingwen couldn't help but sigh.

"General Wang, he is really brave and good at fighting!"

As soon as he finished sighing, the king ran in in a panic.

"It's a big deal!"

"What made you panic like this?"

"General Wang enters the city!"

"Harm!" Huo Dingwen didn't care, "This time she relieved the siege of the Beijing Division, and she made a great achievement, so she naturally wanted to enter the palace to accept the reward." ”

The king was so anxious that he stamped his feet.

"No, General Wang led the army into the city!"

"Leading the army?" At this time, Huo Dingwen did not realize the seriousness of the matter, "This is allowed by His Majesty?" ”

"Of course not!" Wang Yi continued, "Wang He led troops to surround the palace without authorization, saying that he wanted to clear the king's side. ”

"Who is he going to clear?"

Wang Yi paused, stared at Huo Dingwen's eyes and said.

"You."

"What?"

"Wang He said that you have cholera in the world, and you have to give an explanation to the people in the world."

Huo Dingwen reacted immediately.

"Wang He wants to rebel?"

Seeing that he finally understood, the king nodded solemnly.

"He is under the banner of Qingjun's side, but he actually wants to rebel."

"How is this possible, His Majesty trusts him so much, he actually wants to rebel?"

At this time, Huo Dingwen was completely panicked, he paced in place, and then looked in the direction of the palace.

"Come with me into the palace!"

The king grabbed him.

"Now that the palace has been surrounded, before you enter the house, you will be dismembered by Wang He's men."

"How dare he?!"

The king took him by the hand and immediately went out.

"It's not safe here, it won't be long before Wang He estimates that he will send someone to arrest you, find a place to hide first."

When the limelight is over, you come out again. ”

"No!" Huo Dingwen shook off the hand of the king, "Since he wants to clear the king's side, then I will go to see him, clear me, I see if he has any reason to rebel." ”
