229 The King of the Dead Country29
There was silence in the room, except for the sound of breathing.
They all know that sooner or later there will be such a day, and when this day really comes, they will inevitably hesitate.
Nan Liujing distributed the golden cakes in the food box to everyone, and his tone was relaxed: "Come, eat something sweet to suppress the shock." β
Qi Si came back to his senses, lowered his head and ate the golden cake, and silently calmed his mood by the way.
Zhou Xian Ling swallowed hard a few times before finally swallowing his saliva: "...... Young Master Yao Nan, is this too hasty? β
Nan Liujing put down the food box and walked to the window.
Now it is the turn of summer and autumn, the sound of cicadas is still endless, and the persimmon trees in the courtyard are full of flowers.
"It's a bit rushed, but we can't wait any longer."
The master asked, "Why is that?" β
Nan Liujing's eyes moved slightly, he stretched out his hand, picked up the persimmon flower that fell on the windowsill, put it on his fingertips and swirled it gently: "Wait a little longer, our chances of winning can indeed be a little greater." β
"But chaos has begun in the south, and one more day of waiting means that the people will have to suffer one more day."
If he is not the third prince of Daye, if he plans to set up a new dynasty, then he can wait.
ββWait until Daye exhausts his last strength, and when the world completely becomes a world of great contention, he will raise troops from the troubled times.
But he couldn't.
He has the blood of the Daye royal family and the Yao family flowing in his body at the same time, even if he is not the master of the people, he has long regarded the people of the world and the society of the country as his responsibility.
He could not ignore the suffering of the people south because he could not hear their wails.
All kinds of thoughts surged in Nanliujing's heart, and in the end, he only smiled: "I can afford to wait, and you can afford to wait, but can the people of the world still afford to wait?" β
The crowd was silent at first, then suddenly.
They always habitually look up, thinking about the distant throne, but often forget to look down at the people behind them.
So when they think about the uprising, they think about success or failure, and they think about gains and losses.
Of course, Nanliujing is also thinking about success or failure, gain and loss, but he has never neglected the people.
In the endless space, Yao Rong is also playing with a persimmon flower.
She touched the petals of the persimmon flower and said to the system: [I remember the things I taught, the flowing scenes.] ]
The system said in a deep voice: [You are right. He wants this world, but he doesn't want a devastated world, so he can obviously use the identity of Yao Nan as the founding emperor, but he still chooses to use the identity of Nan Liujing to be the lord of the revival. γ
The cost of changing the dynasty is much higher than changing the emperor.
Minami Liujing didn't mind raising the necessary butcher's knife.
Daye has been inherited for more than 100 years, and it has accumulated disadvantages, and it has long reached the point where it needs to be cleaned up.
But he was reluctant to sacrifice fearlessly.
Yao Rong sighed: [What you said is really standard. ]
The system snorted: [Your compliment is very unstandard. γ
Yao Rongwaner.
When Nan Liujing was free, Yao Rong relayed the system's words to Nan Liujing.
Nan Liujing smiled and said, "Actually, there is another very important reason. β
[What is the reason?] ]
"I prefer the name Nanliujing to Yao Nan."
This name contains the expectations and blessings of his mother for him.
said that he was going to revolt, but the first order under Nanliujing was not to transfer troops, but-
Disaster relief.
He ordered Li Guanqi to send food, herbs, and clothing from all over the country to the disaster-stricken areas in the south, regardless of the cost and at any cost.
The second order is to recruit peace.
He ordered Qu Jianbai to leave immediately and rush from the capital to the south, on the one hand to prevent the imperial officers and soldiers from suppressing the uprising, and on the other hand, to find a way to recruit the leader of the rebel army in the south.
Whether it is money or power, Qu Jianbai can promise according to the situation.
Li Guanqi was responsible for assisting Qu Jianbai in pacifying the people.
After arranging the things in the south, the southern scenery began to focus on the north.
In just a few days, the Ji family's accusations spread throughout the sixteen cities of the Northland-
Guifei poison||Kill the favorite concubine, mutilate the emperor's heir, and cause chaos in the harem.
Ji Yushan's son robbed people's daughters on the street, directly causing more than ten murders, and indirectly causing countless murders.
During the period when Ji Yushan's brother was an official in other places, he disregarded people's lives and annexed hundreds of thousands of acres of land by various means, and countless ordinary people were ruined and killed.
β¦β¦
All of the above is appalling enough.
But what makes people most angry is what Ji Yushan did.
colluded with Di Rong and betrayed the military situation, resulting in the defeat of General Yao in the Battle of Tang Pass, and the annihilation of the 30,000 elite army!
Long before Daye founded the country, the people of the north were deeply affected by Di Rong and were often plundered by Di Rong. Their ancestors, even themselves, have been separated by a sea of blood against Dijon.
As a result, Ji Yushan not only colluded with Di Rong, but also killed their guardian saint of the North, General Yao!?
What's even more hateful is that after killing General Yao, Ji Yushan not only received no punishment, but also completely controlled the government and was powerful!
In the teahouse, the white-haired old man slammed the table, his voice sad and indignant: "Is there justice in this world, is there still the royal law, and is there still heavenly justice!" β
The strong man with a beard with tears in his eyes: "It is well said in the book, those who break the formation and kill the enemy should be punished, and those who commit rebellion will be crowned marquis and worship the prime minister...... Isn't this the current situation of the imperial court! β
The young girl's eyes were bright, and her words were full of hope: "In the script, the general led the people to kill the corrupt officials. Can we wait for someone like a general. β
"Well, that's just a script."
"That's right, only scripts and operas can have grievances and revenge."
"But-" The depression of the others did not make the girl feel lost, "We used to have Old General Yao, and now we also have Young Master Yao Nan." β
The bearded strong man suddenly remembered something: "Speaking of Yao Nan's little boy, have you heard of a rumor?" β
"What rumors?"
The bearded man lowered his voice: "I heard that Yao Nan's little son is a descendant of the Yao family." β
"What!"
"Seriously!?"
The bearded man almost swore to the sky: "This can still be fake, the grandson-in-law of the distant cousin of my second uncle's third aunt is on an errand in Yongning Cheng County, and this news is what he told me!" β
"That's great! If Yao Nan's little son is really a descendant of the Yao family, then he will definitely find a way to kill Ji Yushan and avenge the old general Yao! β
I don't know who made such a feeling.
When the people around them heard this, their faces changed with fright, but when the fear dissipated, a flame called anger rose.
Why did the Ji family do bad things, and they still enjoyed all the glory and wealth.
Why did the Yao family shed blood and tears for the north, but after their death, they became infamous.
Why do they work hard and live diligently, but they can't even guarantee food and clothing?
Those corrupt officials suck their flesh and blood, and at the same time laugh at them for being filthy pariahs!
Are they born lowly?
"Of course not."
"Yao Nan's little son said: The people are the foundation of the society. A dynasty can lose its king, it can lose its courtiers and generals, but it must have its people. β
"The real filth is those who have sucked our flesh and blood and still look down on us at all!"
The flame of rebellion that was planted a year ago has finally taken root at this moment after day after day of nourishment-
"How good it would be if the little boy Yao Nan could lead us to kill corrupt officials and put an end to the military disaster like the general in the book......"
When such a voice sounded in countless corners of Yongning City.
When such a voice spread to Chang'an County, it reached the ears of Qi Mingxu and Jiang Ding.
When such a sound resounded throughout the sky of the Northland.
Qi Si clasped his hands into fists: "My subordinates are fortunate not to be dishonored." β
Nan Liujing took down the sword of the Son of Heaven placed on the sword rack and placed it in front of him: "Release all the evidence of the crimes of the military department Shangshu and Ji Yushan, and tell the world for meββ"
"In the name of the descendants of the Yao family, I ask the imperial court to rehabilitate the Yao family, kill the secretary of the military department, and ask the Ji family for the crime."
"As the Son of Heaven, Emperor Yongqing is guilty of connivance in the matter of the Yao family. At the moment, he committed his own edict, abdicated and made way for the virtuous, in order to thank the world. β
Qi Si asked, "What if the court doesn't allow it?" β
Nan Liujing pulled out the sword of the Son of Heaven, and pointed the tip of the sword directly at Kyoto: "If the imperial court does not allow it, I will raise 50,000 troops from the north, arrive at the imperial capital, put the sword on the neck of the Manchu minister, and ask them again, is it permissible this time?" β
Nanliujing's words, along with the conclusive evidence of the crime, spread throughout the north and into Kyoto.
The people of the Northland were in an uproar.
The dignitaries and dignitaries in Kyoto seemed to be suddenly seriously ill, not only blinded to see the evidence of the crime, but also dumbfounded and unable to say anything, only staring at the palace and Ji Mansion in a daze, waiting for Emperor Yongqing and Ji Yushan to react.
Palace.
After Emperor Yongqing saw the evidence of the crimes of the Ministry of War and Ji Yushan, the whole person was so excited that he was almost crazy.
"Collaborating with Di Rong and betraying the military intelligence is a big crime of the Nine Clans!"
"Someone, call me Liang Guangyu, I want him to immediately lead troops to surround Ji Mansion and exterminate Ji Yushan."
"And the poisonous woman of the concubine, for the sake of her having children for me, I will give her a decent way to die."
The chief attendant knelt at the bottom of the main hall, listening to Emperor Yongqing's increasingly excited words, his scalp was numb, and he had to interrupt: "Your Majesty, that person named Yao Nan, in addition to announcing these incriminating evidence, is also ...... A number of requests were also made. β
Emperor Yongqing looked at the chief attendant with dissatisfaction: "What request?" β
The chief chamberlain stiffened his head and spoke.
Emperor Yongqing was furious: "I am the Son of Heaven, and he dares to ask me to issue an edict of guilt!" I also asked me to abdicate and make way for Xian! Oh, this so-called virtuous can't be himself! Wishful thinking, wolf ambition, I know that the Yao family is all people harboring evil intentions, and they still refuse to stop after so many years! β
As soon as the chief attendant wanted to persuade Emperor Yongqing to calm his anger, he saw a small chamberlain crawling into the hall: "Your Majesty, please see Taifu Ji outside." β
Emperor Yongqing took a few deep breaths to calm his anger and sneered: "Ji Yushan entered the palace at this time, he didn't come to kneel down to beg for mercy. β
The little chamberlain was just about to speak, and Ji Yushan, who was wearing a first-class official uniform, had already strode into the hall, his hair was meticulously tied, and there was a half-kneeling posture of begging for mercy and bowing down to be small.
"Ji Yushan, you dare to trespass into the main hall!" Emperor Yongqing pointed at Ji Yushan and shouted.
Ji Yushan's expression was cold.
When he saw the incriminating evidence, he didn't think about maintaining a semblance of calm with Emperor Yongqing, a fool.
"Your Majesty really wants to make a move against the Ji family at this juncture? You and I are both defeated, and the Yao family child can just take advantage of the fisherman. β
Emperor Yongqing's expression froze, and his reason finally returned slightly.
Yes, why didn't he dare to do anything to the Ji family in the past ten years.
Doesn't he have the evidence of the Ji family's guilt in his hands?
He didn't dare to make a move against the Ji family, the root cause was because the Ji family was too powerful, and he was worried that rashly making a move on the Ji family would make the Ji family dog jump over the wall and break the net with him.
Seeing that Emperor Yongqing had regained his senses, Ji Yushan smiled disdainfully in his heart: "Your Majesty, what the Ji family wants is nothing more than for the sixth prince to become the crown prince and inherit the throne in the future." You have been fighting with the Ji family for so long, and now you have the evidence that I colluded with Di Rong, why rush to raise the butcher knife against the Ji family immediately. β
"Open your eyes and see clearly, the biggest threat to you now is not the Ji family, it is the Yao family child named Yao Nan!"
"He is the greatest enemy that threatens your throne!"
Emperor Yongqing's complexion changed drastically.
He can be the emperor for so many years, and he is not a fool, knowing that Ji Yushan wants to stabilize him temporarily.
But I have to say that Ji Yushan's words still have some truth.
Ji Yushan continued: "The military department and the household department are all my people. When marching and fighting, it is indispensable to have food, grass, soldiers, horses, and weapons. Your Majesty should think about it. β
"I am now standing in front of Your Majesty without a single soldier, and it is easy for Your Majesty to kill me. But without me, can Your Majesty stop that Yao family child? β
Emperor Yongqing was silent for a moment, and his tone softened: "What do you want to do." β
Ji Yushan sighed lightly and said that he wanted to use the military department and the household department to change the Ji family's livelihood.
Emperor Yongqing frowned: "Now everyone in the world knows that you colluded with Di Rong......"
Ji Yushan's tone was resolute: "When I kill that Yao family child, I will refuse to thank the world." β
Emperor Yongqing didn't believe Ji Yushan's words, and said tentatively: "I can not move you for the time being, but how should I explain to the whole world." β
Ji Yushan said lightly: "Before the minister entered the palace, the military department Shangshu had committed suicide in fear of crime. β
Outside the palace, a carriage of the Ji family was parked.
Ji Yushan's eldest son sat in the carriage, anxiously waiting for Ji Yushan.
Seeing that Ji Yushan came out safely, Ji Yushan's eldest son immediately stepped forward: "Dad, it's okay if you're fine, you ......"
Ji Yushan stopped him: "Go back and say." β
When he returned to Ji's Mansion and entered the heavily guarded study, Ji Yushan's eldest son asked urgently, "Dad, how is the situation?" β
Ji Yushan lowered his eyes: "Emperor Yongqing agreed." β
Ji Yushan's eldest son's face turned pale: "Do we really want to be arrested?" β
"Tied up?" Ji Yushan repeated the word, his tone was cold, "So far, is there still a way out for our Ji family." If the six princes do not ascend the throne, there is no other possibility waiting for our Ji family except to be beheaded by the whole family. β
He forced the military department to obey||poisoned himself, and hurriedly entered the palace to persuade Emperor Yongqing, just to delay time.
When he gets rid of the Yao family's child, Emperor Yongqing will die due to an "accident".
At that time, he will fully support the six princes to ascend the throne, and then fake his death to escape.
The next day, at the court meeting, the Manchu Dynasty first heard the news of the death of the military department Shangshu, and then saw Ji Yushan come out of the ranks: "The rebels in the south have accepted the imperial court's recruitment, and the army sent to suppress the rebels can immediately rush to the north to suppress the little boy named Yao Nan." β
Emperor Yongqing said: "I agreed." β
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were secretly frightened.
Ji Yushan committed the capital crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason.
They all thought that Emperor Yongqing was going to take advantage of this great opportunity to wipe out the Ji family, who knew that Emperor Yongqing and Ji Yushan had temporarily shaken hands and made peace!?
Liang Guangyu stood in the queue of generals, and sighed in his heart: Sure enough, they were all guessed by the three princes.
guessed that the reaction of Emperor Yongqing and Ji Yushan was not Nanliujing, but Yao Rong.
It is precisely because of Yao Rong's guess that Nanliujing will make this series of layouts.
On the second day of the imperial court's dispatch of troops, Nanliujing had already received the news.
At noon that day, he changed into armor, stood at the head of Yongning City, and said to the countless people below: "The grievances of the Yao family, you should have heard of them. β
"You should all know about the Ji family's crimes."
"I asked the court to rehabilitate the Yao family, and asked the court to deal with the guilty ministers, but the court did not allow it, and sent 30,000 troops to quell the rebellion, what do you think?"
Countless ordinary people looked up at the young general on the city wall against the light, and the crowd was excited.
"What Yao Nan Xiaogongzi said to do, we will follow you to do something!"
"Little boy Yao Nan, you just have to command!"
Nan Liujing lowered his eyes and pulled out the sword of the Son of Heaven.
The cold and sharp sword body reflects the majestic edge in the sunlight.
"If the court doesn't give it justice, I'll take it myself; Those who collaborate with the enemy and treason, the court does not follow the law, and I will personally kill them. β
"The court said that I was a rebel, so I would immediately raise troops into Beijing and kill the traitorous ministers as they wished!"
Yongning City Zhou County ordered to respond on the spot.
The next day, Qi Mingxu led 20,000 soldiers and horses in Chang'an County and swore to follow Nanliujing to the death.
The six cities of Wuwu and Wuqing opened their gates to welcome the king.
The other five cities surrendered.
The remaining three cities were held by the city and refused to surrender.
Of the three castles that refused to surrender, two stood on the road to Kyoto.
One of them is called Gancheng, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
In addition, the Gancheng County Order is the Ji family, and they will definitely defend the city.
"If they don't take the initiative to get out of the way, then we will open the way." Jiang Ding moved his fingers and said with a cruel smile, "Those siege equipment I developed are finally useful." β
"The mantis arm is just a car." Qi Mingxu clenched his fists and asked for battle, "Your Highness, let your subordinates come down." β
Nan Liujing smiled slightly, raised his hand, and was full of spirit: "Then I am here, waiting for the triumph of the two brothers." βοΌοΌοΌ
