Chapter 152: The Wind Rises (2)
What?!
King Chengyang is reversed?!
Not to mention Xu Jing, Zhao Xiyan was also taken aback, Huo Ran got up: "Is this news true?" It can't be that someone deliberately released the wind to confuse the public! ”
Xu San replied: "This news came from the palace, so it shouldn't be wrong." ”
Xu Jing didn't make a sound, his eyes were heavy.
Zhao Xiyan slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and sighed in a low voice: "The trees want to be quiet, and the wind does not stop." The world is about to be in chaos. Next, life will definitely be even worse. You are in the palace, be extra careful. ”
Xu Jing nodded.
The king of Chengyang is the opposite, which is a great shock to all the vassal kings. Put yourself in their shoes, if the person who was assassinated was him, his father would definitely be against him in Beihai County!
How should the imperial court respond?
Will Emperor Yongming be furious and send troops to suppress the rebellious vassal king?
The last vassal king of the Great Jin Dynasty who conspired ~ rebelled was more than 80 years ago. The end was extremely miserable, and the people involved in the rebellion were killed and bloodied.
How many people will die this time?
The princes of these vassal kings are also in an extremely embarrassing and delicate situation in the palace.
"I will write to my father." Xu Jing said suddenly.
Zhao Xiyan said: "Let's go to the study together, and I will also write back." ”
The two went to the study together, Xu Jing skillfully added water and ink, and Zhao Xiyan picked up the pen, and it was done overnight. Next, Xu Jing wrote a long letter to the King of Beihai. After writing it, he immediately sent it out of Zhao's mansion.
……
The Chengyang Wangmou ~ anti-incident quickly spread to the ears of hundreds of officials.
Early the next morning, it was the pilgrimage meeting.
Emperor Yongming, who never cared about the government, was completely angry this time. The fat body sat up straight, stretched out his hand, and pointed directly at the courtiers: "The king of Chengyang dares to raise an army to plot ~ against him, and all Aiqing said how to deal with it." ”
Su Zhangyuan was the first to open his mouth: "The old minister has the courage to speak." The imperial court was extremely tolerant of the vassal king, and although the king of Chengyang lost his only son and princess, he should never conspire ~ against him. The old minister asked the emperor to immediately issue an order and send troops to suppress the rebellion. ”
The six Shangshu spoke out one after another, and their opinions were surprisingly unanimous, and they immediately sent troops to suppress it.
Feng Chuan, the head of the military generals, is nearly seventy years old this year, his hair and beard are all white, but his eyes are very sharp. stepped forward and arched his hand: "The old minister is willing to lead the troops to quell the chaos." Please give an order immediately! ”
Gao Peng, the loyal and brave marquis, was not to be outdone, and said loudly: "Dingguo Gong is seventy years old this year, and he is dying, but I am afraid that he does not even have the strength to lift a knife and get on the horse." Let's let the minister go! There are 20,000 cavalry under the command of the minister, one man and three horses, and he can send troops at the fastest speed. Please ask the emperor to give the minister two months, and the minister will definitely bring back the head of the king of Chengyang. ”
As for Murong Yao, as the general of the Praetorian Guard, his most important duty is to protect the Son of Heaven from the palace. This kind of sending troops to suppress the vassal king is not his turn.
Wu Anbo was also eager to try. However, as soon as he opened his mouth, he was glanced at by Feng Chuan and Gao Peng with disdain: "Wu Anbo should do his own errand, take Nancheng well, and don't have any more assassinations." ”
"Exactly, if it weren't for the death of the prince of Chengyang, the king of Chengyang would not have raised an army."
Wu Anbo was sprayed with spittle, and his heart was extremely depressed, so he had to shut up.
Emperor Yongming obviously had a balance in his heart, and quickly issued an order: "This time to quell the chaos, the Marquis of Zhongyong will lead the Xiaocai battalion forward." ”
The loyal and brave marquis was overjoyed, and hurriedly surrendered his hand to receive the order: "The minister has the order." ”
Ding Guogong was a little unhappy. Emperor Yongming did not forget to appease the veteran, and opened his mouth to say: "The Duke of Dingguo is old and strong, and he is the pillar of the country. ”
Ding Guogong's face softened slightly.
The dispatch of troops was unanimously supported by the courtiers.
The official documents of the military department allocated war horses and weapons, the household department allocated money, food and military salaries, and the Ministry of Industry quickly prepared siege equipment and baggage. The Ministry of Rites writes the inscription. Even the officials were busy.
Once the king of Chengyang is destroyed, the feudal territory will be returned to the imperial court, and another official will have to be sent to appease the people, which must be prepared in advance.
As for the Criminal Department, it has also stepped up its investigation of the case. The death of the prince of Chengyang provoked the king of Chengyang to rebel. The assassination of the prince of Beihai has not yet been explained! If the King of Beihai also rebels, the court will be in chaos.
Five days later, the imperial army was dispatched.
The Marquis of Zhongyong led a battalion of 20,000 horsemen and ordered troops on the spacious and boundless school field. 20,000 elite soldiers of the Great Jin Dynasty, all dressed in armor, holding spears and sharp weapons, mighty and majestic, shouting and screaming to the sky.
Emperor Yongming didn't know what his intentions were, so he asked the prince to come to see this scene in person. Several princes of the feudal kingdoms were also summoned.
The frail and timid prince of Pengcheng stood in the sun for half an hour, his face was pale, his body was shaking, and he almost fainted.
The rest of the princes of the vassal kingdoms did not look good.
Only Xu Jing, who had no heart or lungs, watched it with relish, and smiled with the prince in a low voice: "Cousin, I have long heard that the Marquis of Zhongyong is powerful." Looking at it today, the Marquis of Zhongyong is really majestic! ”
The prince was in a complicated mood and replied in a low voice: "Under the command of the Marquis of Zhongyong, they are all cavalry. The imperial court raised the salary of one cavalryman, which was enough to support ten ordinary soldiers. ”
In order to raise such an elite cavalry, the Great Jin consumes millions of silver taels every year. 20,000 cavalry is already the limit, and I can't afford to raise more.
Xu Jing had a deep understanding, nodded and whispered: "When I was in Beihai, the two hundred soldiers around me had war horses and armor. It costs tens of thousands of taels of silver every year! Raising soldiers is a matter of money. ”
"In this way, the king of Chengyang is raising soldiers privately, and his manpower is limited. The 20,000 cavalry will surely be able to quickly put down the rebellion. ”
The prince snorted and glanced at Xu Jing.
The words came to his lips and he swallowed them back.
The Marquis of Zhongyong finally led his troops and set off.
Tens of thousands of horses kicked forward, and the ground of the school field kept shaking. Xu Jing stood on a high place and looked at it from afar, and was also shocked.
As soon as I turned my head, I saw a familiar nasty face, with a provocative cold light in my eyes.
Xu Jing sneered in his heart, and walked over slowly: "The Marquis of Zhongyong led the troops to quell the chaos, is Captain Murong particularly envious?" ”
Murong Shen said lightly: "The last general is on an errand in the palace, and he has the heavy responsibility of protecting the emperor, so it is not appropriate to leave without permission." Otherwise, the last general would have automatically asked Ying to quell the chaos. As a vassal king, he didn't think about the favor of the court, and dared to raise an army to make a rebellion, which was self-defeating. ”
Xu Jing also agreed, nodded and said, "That's right." This King of Chengyang, like a grasshopper after autumn, can't jump for a few days. ”
The prince was a little surprised when he saw Xu Jing and Murong Shen talking, and came over with a smile: "Cousin, you and Captain Murong are in love." ”
Xu Jing grinned: "Captain Murong once went to Beihai to deliver a decree, and Captain Murong and I hit it off at first sight. ”
Murong Shen was so disgusted that he couldn't do it.
The prince looked at it curiously, and Murong Shen had to squeeze out a smile: "Yes, the last general admires the prince very much." ”
……
It's the end of the month.,Ask for a monthly pass~~(@^_^@)~.
