Chapter 331: Reaction
Above the court, the first to react from the shock is still Xiao Fengshan, the mainstay of the new dynasty.
He turned his head to look at the messenger, "Who do you say is the leader?" β
The messenger was stunned by this gaze, and stammered, "Su Su Zongzhe." β
Only then did the courtiers react, and someone immediately scolded: "Bold, above the court, there is still nonsense!" Su Lao. Su Zongzhe has been dead for several years, this is a well-known thing in the world, how can he rebel now! β
"Yes, Su Xiang was forced to death by Qin Wei, this is known to the world, the first emperor once sent condolences, is it possible that adults can still come back from the dead?"
"Where is your news? How can it be so ridiculous! β
The crowd was raging, and under the power of power, the messenger only dared to lie on the ground, and did not dare to move.
At this time, it was Xiao Fengshan, who was serious before, softened his tone and said softly: "Don't be alarmed, you just sent the message, and it is not your responsibility to make a mistake." You give the letterbox to the original image. β
The messenger froze, looked at Xiao Fengshan with gratitude and admiration, and handed the letter box with both hands.
Xiao Fengshan subconsciously opened it, and only halfway through the dismantling did he react in the surprised eyes around him, he remained silent, opened it and glanced at the letterbox, and then said: "Your Majesty, there is no problem in the letterbox, you can check it." β
Dong Liang hurriedly ran down, holding the letter in both hands and handed it to Dongfang Ming.
Dongfang Ming pressed the slight displeasure in his heart, took out the letterhead, swept it away, was silent for a moment, and motioned to Dong Liang to pass the letterhead to Xiao Fengshan.
Then he glanced at the hall and said, "The news is from the Yunmeng Prefecture Governor's Mansion, and it should be true." Tsk, it's worthy of a generation of famous faces, this is really hidden deep enough! Deceived everyone in the world! β
Speaking of the back, his tone was a little gritted with teeth, "There is a huge Yunmeng Prefecture, and when he raises the flag, it will be passed on, is this still the world of my Great Xia?" Yes! β
Under such anger, the ministers all bowed their heads silently and studied the patterns of the floor tiles they stepped on.
Xiao Fengshan took the initiative to speak: "Your Majesty, local rebellions, the imperial court has its own policy, whether it is Su Zongzhe, or the king of Jiaodong County, or an ordinary person who cuts the land and claims the king, as long as he opposes the imperial court, he is a thief, and he should be abandoned by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and all the people in the world." The first priority at the moment is to arrange for the counterinsurgency. β
He motioned to the young emperor with his eyes, you are going crazy and angry in front of the ministers at this time, it will not help you to lose your job, hurry up and fool the past, let's have a small meeting in a while!
Dongfang Ming also received such information, reacted, and nodded slowly pretending to be calm, "This is reasonable, you Aiqing, is there a good plan?" β
A group of people began to talk about each other.
But at this time, most of what was said in the court was nonsense that didn't have any fart but didn't make mistakes.
For example, the court's reward to the king of Jiaodong County and the Su family was removed, and the world was ordered to make it clear that he was a thief;
Another example is the seizure of all his properties in Zhongjing, and the arrest of all his relatives and friends;
Another example is to send a messenger, with the royal prestige, to reprimand him in person, and to influence him with the royal Taoism, which will definitely make him ashamed and hide his face, and feel that he has failed the emperor's grace, so that he can surrender without a fight.
Dongfang Ming pretended to listen patiently, and then he couldn't listen anymore, and announced the dissolution of the dynasty at the right time, and then the central members automatically stayed, and the military department Shangshu, the new Hubu Shangshu, and the two military generals and generals were also called to the scene of the small court meeting.
In the Qianyuan Palace, Dongfang Ming ordered the seat, and then looked at everyone, "You are all the mainstays of the court, and now the situation is critical, let's talk about any good strategies." β
This statement that the situation is critical is not a lie.
For example, today's beacon smoke is everywhere, and the anti-thieves occupy the mountains as kings, attack the city and plunder the land, which has made the court anxious.
Now the land of Surabaya and Yunmeng is all rebellious, and all of them are one person, making the king of Jiaodong the number one rebel force in the world.
There are thirteen states in the world, and there are ten states in the north in the usual sense, and there are three states in the south, Surabaya, Yunmeng, and Guangling, and now the king of Jiaodong County has won two of them.
If you add a Guangling Prefecture, it can really be said to be a river to a certain extent, and half of the country will be governed.
For the imperial court, it was simply a house leak that happened to rain overnight.
It is almost conceivable that when this news comes out, I don't know how many speculators will immediately set off for Yunmeng Prefecture or Surabaya Prefecture.
The military department Shangshu said: "Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, it is better to follow the strategy of the first emperor, immediately assemble a large army, and use the momentum of thunder to pacify Surabaya and Yunmeng Prefecture, and then bring this might, the confidence and morale of the soldiers are at their peak, and the rest of the rebels, big and small, will not be a problem." β
A central minister also nodded in agreement, "Su Wei's protΓ©gΓ©s are all over the world, and the king of Jiaodong County also has the status of a prince, once he can't be eliminated immediately, he will become a big trouble." β
"Definitely!" A military general said: "The king of Jiaodong County is now sitting on the land of two states, the soldiers are full of food, the power is huge, a rash battle, if you lose, the consequences are unimaginable, and once you hold each other, the military strength is empty, and the rest of the traitors are difficult to control, and the situation is even worse." The fundamental strategy of the first emperor was to fight a war with absolute certainty, and then gradually encroach on the power of the rebels. According to the minister's opinion, it is better to select elite soldiers, first take advantage of the weak strength of the rebels in the rest of the places, pacify the states one by one, and then bring the unified and stable north to start a war with the king of Jiaodong County. β
"That's right!" Another military general also said seriously: "The imperial court only needs to Chen Bing on the border of the two states to prevent them from going north to Beijing, and defending the city, so that it can contain most of them with a small number of troops, and then, calmly sweep the north, and then take the power of the eleven states to attack the two states. What's more, at that time, the people of the world will be determined, and they may or may not collapse without a fight. β
"What the two generals said is reasonable, since the world is full of smoke, it is impossible for the two states of Surabaya and Yunmeng to be completely peaceful, it will take time for them to clear the state, and there are still many problems in this process, let them go to internal friction, and the court can calmly decide!"
There are many discussions and different opinions, and at this time, it is necessary to make a final decision.
Usually, such people are prime ministers, but this time, everyone looked at Vice Minister Xiao Fengshan.
Xiao Fengshan opened his mouth and said: "The two generals are both people who know the soldiers, and I agree with their judgment. The rebellion of the king of Jiaodong is an absolute big trouble, but if we rashly gather heavy troops to start a war with it now, although there is a blow and it will be crushed, the benefit of the world is cold, but once the war is unfavorable, even if it falls into a stalemate, the consequences are unimaginable. β
He paused, "Now that the situation in the court is basically stable, we should immediately send capable soldiers to sweep away the surrounding rebels and accumulate the strength of the imperial court." After stabilizing the situation in Zhongzhou and the surrounding states, he will fight a decisive battle with the king of Jiaodong County. At the same time, when immediately dispatched troops and horses on the border of Surabaya Prefecture and Yunmeng Prefecture, display heavy troops to prevent them from going north and east. If you send an envoy to reward him again, His Majesty and the center can also cooperate to make a show to slow down his pace and paralyze his carelessness. β
He exhaled lightly, "So, for today's plan, it is to decide on the candidates to send troops to suppress the bandits." β
Dongfang Ming was stunned, I haven't agreed to this policy yet, why did you make up your mind?
But he didn't care about talking to his uncle at the moment, and nodded: "Uncle is reasonable, you Aiqing, do you have a recommendation?" β
Everyone, every word you and I say, they all want to share this credit.
Since ancient times, military exploits are the most rare, and they have no heart to fight the Northern Liang Iron Cavalry, but they have the heart to fight a bunch of anti-thieves who are disheveled and uneven in military appearance to earn military merits and eat military salaries.
Not only do they have, but they are also huge.
Seeing that the ministers who were still able to work together to conspire for the overall situation were arguing again at this time, Dongfang Ming was bored for a while, "Okay! Rong Zhen pondered this matter, and after you recommended Aiqing, you will also quickly deliver a fold after you go back, so let's be here today! β
Everyone got up to say goodbye, but Xiao Fengshan stayed as a matter of course.
"Your Majesty, let the British Duke go!"
When only the two of their uncles and nephews were left in the hall, Xiao Fengshan said directly.
"English duke?" Dongfang Ming was a little surprised.
Xiao Fengshan nodded, and said calmly: "The military power in the hands of the British Duke has always been a hidden danger, and we can't rashly deprive it of the current situation, just take this opportunity to let him lead the troops to the battle, and take advantage of the situation to reduce some of them first." β
Dongfang Ming hesitated, "Wouldn't this be inappropriate?" β
"He has just led the troops to quell the rebellion, he has rich experience, and His Majesty has just fulfilled his promise and canonized the king of Linjiang County, will he disobey His Majesty's will at this time? If he agrees, his faction in Beijing will have no backbone, at least there will be no way to expand its power, and the ministers will be able to deal with it calmly. If he does not agree, he will just take advantage of the situation to hand over his modest soldiers and horses to His Majesty's henchmen and seize his military power. β
Dongfang Ming opened his mouth and said, "I just think I'm in a hurry?" β
He looked at Dongfang Ming, "Your Majesty, do you think that after experiencing the entanglement between you and the first emperor, the British Duke will really be simple enough to believe that you want to pass the throne to his grandson?" He has his plans, there will be a fight between you and him, and you don't want you to lose in the end, right? β
Dongfang Ming immediately stopped hesitating, "Okay, just follow what Uncle said." β
But at this time, the pair of monarchs and ministers did not know what was going on outside.
I don't know that the plan they thought was perfect was destined to be unrealized.
The British Princess, the British Duke is furious again.
In the market, there is countless news every day.
Among them, the fastest spreading, in addition to the story, is often filled with some necessary elements: power, fragrance, ethics, life and death.
If a story encompasses almost all of the elements and doesn't need any extra boost, it can be immediately passed on by word of mouth and quickly become known.
Although in such a process, it is inevitable that there will be some distortions, such as the two of them fighting fiercely in front of Emperor Chongning's coffin in the end, or the new emperor directly pulling the concubines of the first emperor to hold an uncovered meeting in the mourning hall, but in the end, everything will not deviate.
And these words inevitably reached the ears of the British public.
When the British public heard this, he dropped the cup on the spot, because of this scandal, it was indeed possible in his cognition;
What's more, because under such circumstances, Xiao Fengshan and the emperor actually chose to splash dirty water on their daughter!
What? It doesn't have to be who put out the news?
Except for Xiao Fengshan and the emperor's choice that paper can't contain the fire, who else can there be? When you are a harem, is a thatched house on the street, can anyone go there?
Thinking of this, he lifted his broadsword and angrily slashed at the scarecrow, and in the debris flying in the sky, the British wheezed like an enraged tiger.
"Shaft! Insult me too much! β
The second chapter is in the afternoon.
