Chapter 172 The front line is urgent
Yuan Rongcheng pursed his lips and nodded: "This fast horse rushed in from the north city gate, if I guessed correctly, it should be the rebels or outsiders in the north who have made another move." ”
"The rebels and Beidi are attacking south again?" Li Yuzhu listened to his words and chuckled in her heart.
The scene of fleeing to the south is still vivid, how long has it been stable, and there is another war in the north?
"The specifics are not clear." Yuan Rongcheng stared at the street where there was no trace of the messenger, "Let's go, let's go to the palace to inquire about the specific news." ”
The group hurried back to the palace.
The servants of the royal palace all performed their duties and worked in an orderly manner, not as in the case of an urgent military situation.
Seeing this situation, I don't know why, Yuan Rongcheng was very flustered and anxious at the same time.
Needless to say, the fast horse ride must have brought some bad news today.
Li Yuzhu summoned the slave who swept the floor on the side of the road and asked, "Is grandfather at home?" ”
The slave who had been recruited was in charge of the sanitation of the area, and no one who passed by on his way back to his home could escape his sight.
He listened to Li Yuzhu's words, shook his head and said, "The prince went out in the morning and hasn't come back yet." ”
Li Yuzhu exhaled, she waved her hand to let the slave leave, and then she turned around and said: "No wonder the house is so orderly, the slave is not panicked, it turns out that my grandfather is not in the house, shall we go to the yamen to find it?" ”
Yuan Rongcheng's face was solemn, "Let's go, go to the Yamen!" ”
The group hurried to the yamen again.
When they asked to see them outside the Yamen study, King Qian did not embarrass them, and directly let them in.
The maid guards stayed outside, and Yuan Rongcheng and Li Yuzhu were invited in.
King Qian's face was very ugly, his face was gloomy, staring at Yuan Rongcheng who came in from the outside, without saying a word.
Mr. Zhang, who was sitting next to him, asked, "How did Yuan Sangongzi find the yamen?" ”
Yuan Rongcheng was under pressure, and he bowed first, and then replied: "Today, I saw a fast horse coming to Yamen on the street, so we followed over to take a look, but there was bad news from the north?" ”
Mr. Zhang looked up at King Qian, who had a gloomy face, and sighed, "According to the news brought by the messenger, Beidi raided Yuzhou after the autumn harvest, plundered the money, grain and population, and returned to Gyeonggi. ”
"Isn't that something to be expected?" Yuan Rongcheng looked at Mr. Zhang.
Beidi are nomads, they are not good at farming, and now that the autumn harvest is over, it is not surprising that they come to rob.
It's just that now the officers and soldiers of the imperial court are rotten to the bone, even if there are enough soldiers, they are not Beidi's opponents.
King Qian had a gloomy face, and said hatefully: "Beidi is retreating to the Gyeonggi area, but Yuzhou, which was ransacked by them, has become a purgatory on earth, and has experienced three years of disasters. ”
As he spoke, his voice changed, "However, when the Beidi people have faded away and the people of Yuzhou are living in dire straits, it has provoked a civil uprising, and now the entire Yuzhou has been devastated and full of wanderers."
The rebels who had been occupying Qingzhou and Yanzhou also took the opportunity to attack Yuzhou, and instead of resisting, the rogues opened the door to welcome the rebels into the city, making it easy for the rebels to occupy the southeast of Yuzhou. ”
When Li Yuzhu heard this, she saw that King Qian had stopped, so she turned her head to Yuan Rongcheng and said, "The rebels only occupy the southeast region near Yanzhou, so I think your father Lord Yuan should send troops to garrison the border area to prevent the rebels from attacking again, right?" ”
Yuan Rongcheng listened to her words and smiled bitterly: "The rebels unfairly occupy the southwest region of Yuzhou, because they are afraid that if they occupy Yuzhou completely, they will become a roadblock for Beidi to rob in the south!" The southwest region of Yuzhou is the road they left to the north to go south, and it can also be said to be the road to hegemony. ”
Because if Beidi wants to plunder in the south, he will be one step closer to becoming the king and hegemonic through this road.
Li Yuzhu's frightened face turned white, "Then according to what you said, Jingzhou is very dangerous!" ”
Mr. Zhang opened his mouth with a heavy heart: "In danger, you must always beware of the surprise attack of Beidi soldiers and rebels!" ”
Li Yuzhu was stunned, so how will she live this life if she marries in the future?
That's what happened, King Qian found that his granddaughter Li Yuzhu's face was wrong, and hurriedly asked Yuan Rongcheng to send her back.
"If you are not in good health, rest and rest at home, and don't put too much pressure on yourself."
In the evening, Xia Jing got the news, and the next day she ordered Yi'an's army to arrange for sea ships to transport the grain purchased in Yi'an.
Hongmei asked worriedly: "Princess, do you think that war is about to be fought when all the grain is here?" ”
Xia Jing waved her hand, "No, I'm called prepared!" ”
Lingnan received the news from the front, and Jiankang received the news earlier than Lingnan.
When the news reached Jiankang, the whole city was in an uproar!
In the court, the ministers felt even more incredulous!
The Beidi people couldn't wait to attack Yuzhou to grab grain and grass, and they rushed to grab Jiankang?
Some people feel that this scene is similar to being forced to flee the capital at the beginning!
"In this regard, who do you think is suitable to lead the troops to quell the rebellion?"
Hube Shangshu stepped forward: "Your Majesty, Zhu Chong, the chief soldier of the Gyeonggi battalion, is a good commander of the troops, but"
The new emperor stood up excitedly, "But what, hurry up and send troops to the front line, be sure to block the enemy in Yanzhou, Qingzhou and other places, and don't let them cross to Yangzhou!" ”
Hubu Shangshu had a difficult face, "However, except for some troops in the Gyeonggi battalion, other local guards are equivalent to being abandoned, no troops, no food and grass, no ordnance, what will Zhu Chong do to fight with Beidi and the rebels?" ”
The new emperor was furious: "Damn! I want to save more military salaries, I can't wait to spend a penny in half, the annual military salary spent by the imperial court is a large amount of expenditure, so much money has raised rats, but it is very little really used for the army!
You people usually keep saying that you are thinking about Dayu and thinking about the people, but what you usually do is to fight for power and profit, and the party is the same as the other, how many people are really worried about me? ”
The emperor was furious, and the courtiers standing below were so frightened that they fell to their knees.
The right golden servant retorted loudly: "Your Majesty, I don't want to share your worries, it's really difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice!" It's that the local officials don't take the imperial court seriously, the government decree can't go out of the city, and the local officials are even more self-respecting, and the imperial court can't mobilize them at all! ”
The court is weak, and now it convinces the subjects of the world!
Ouch! Courtiers have a headache!
The new emperor snorted coldly: "Since you know the crux of the matter, why don't you draw up a charter and see if you can pull out these tumors?" ”
When the courtiers below heard this, everyone gasped at the same time, no one in the court is innocent, and the people in the officialdom have some connections, let them pull out these tumors, no one dares to come out!
Afraid of retaliation afterwards, you must know that the Dayu Dynasty has been inherited for more than 300 years, and the power of other families is deep-rooted, but it is not their business that these courtiers should take care of.
