The war on Zhao Changqing's side continues.

Recently, Luoyang is also a little not very calm.

It stands to reason that the crown prince is in charge of the country, the queen is in charge of the government, and there are so many capable ministers to help, there should be no big mess in Luoyang.

However, Chudi, with Luoyang as the political center, came out with news of a rebellion.

They raised troops from Fengyang City, Cangyun Dao, one of the nine provinces of the three states, and the turmoil of the rebellion quickly spread to the entire Cangyun Dao.

After hearing the news, the empress who was listening to the government walked out from behind the curtain and reprimanded the ministers: "Your Majesty is leading all the elite divisions of my Great Wei to fight a decisive battle against the Tang State, do you feel that there is nothing going on in the country and you have relaxed your vigilance?

The civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, looking left and right, looking at each other, everyone looked like they wanted to speak and stopped, but no one dared to answer the queen's question.

Murong Hening frowned when he saw this, looked at Yan Song, and asked, "What's the matter? This palace seems to have something unspeakable when it looks like this? You are a close minister by His Majesty's side, so it is up to you to answer and answer, what is the origin of this rebel force." ”

Yan Song came out of the ranks, thought about it again and again, and said: "Back to the queen mother, do you still remember the two highnesses of the sixth prince and the seventh prince back then?"

He Ning's brows instantly furrowed even tighter.

"Are you saying that the rebellion is related to the Sixth Emperor Zhao Changping and the Seventh Emperor Zhao Changyun?"

Yan Song replied: "Queen Qiyu, that's exactly the case. The two of them have gathered about 300,000 troops, and many of them are the remnants of the family power that His Majesty used to step on the rivers and lakes. ”

"Three hundred thousand?"

Murong Hening was shocked and said, "Fellow ministers, is there a solution?"

The Manchu Dynasty was not good at marching and fighting, but all the generals who were good at marching and fighting were taken to the front line by His Majesty the Emperor.

Some of the remaining generals are also dying, who can still take on the big responsibility?

For a moment, everyone fell silent.

Qin Hui stood up at this time and said: "On the day of the incident, Wei Chen had already discussed with the officials of the six ministries to transfer the garrisons from all over the south first, and probably raise 300,000 to use this army to deal with the two rebellious emperors?" Just right? It's just that who should be in charge?"

Although the garrison army is not comparable to the elite army that goes out to fight? But it was more than enough to deal with the 300,000 rebel army temporarily formed by the people.

But this thing? At the end of the day, it's risky!

And the opponents are still two emperors.

Who would dare to take that risk?

At this time, Zhao Hongqing opened his mouth and said: "Father is fighting at the front, don't be distracted, domestic affairs?" If you can't let your father know unless you have to, you don't have anyone? Do you dare to lead troops to quell the rebellion?"

Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Manchu Dynasty? You look at me, I look at you? It's just that no one has stepped forward at such a critical juncture.

Yan Song is still hesitating, if it really doesn't work, just go on it yourself!

Anyway, I've read some military books, and in the face of those shrimp soldiers and crab generals, it shouldn't be a big problem.

At this time, a eunuch outside the palace reported that it was General Ma Hong, the former Lingnan Dao Jiedu, who asked to see him.

Mahon, the lame general.

When Zhao Hongqing heard this, he hurriedly got up from the dragon chair and stood with his mother.

He Ning immediately said, "Please." ”

Although I don't know what this old general is doing at this time, His Majesty has always respected the old man who follows him, so he can't snub this old general and can't chill the hearts of the soldiers in the world.

Ma Hong was full of white hair and limped into the main hall.

came to the front of the hundred officials, and bowed down to the queen and the prince with difficulty: "The last general, Ma Hong, I have seen the queen mother and His Royal Highness the prince, I wish the queen and the prince a thousand years old." ”

He Ning flicked his sleeves and said in a cordial tone: "General Ma, please get up, I don't know what General Ma suddenly came to Chongde Hall today?"

Ma Hong said in a deep voice: "I heard that in the land of Sanzhou and Nine Roads, there is a rebellion against thieves, and the last general is not talented, although he is now lame, but after all, he is also a person who has followed His Majesty and the Prime Minister to fight in the south and the north, under the five tiger generals and the five good generals praised in the army, it is estimated that the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and no one has the ability to lead the troops to fight." The last general is here today, just to go to Chudi to quell the rebellion, and I hope that the queen mother and His Royal Highness the crown prince can be gracious!"

After Murong Hening heard this, he hurriedly said: "The old general's mood can be understood in this palace, but you are now old, and you have an old illness, it is important to stay in Luoyang to recuperate, otherwise Your Majesty will come back from the expedition and learn that the old general still has to work for state affairs, I am afraid that this Manchu Dynasty civil and military will be indispensable to His Majesty's criticism." ”

The implication of the queen's words is that even this lame old general knows that he can stand up in times of crisis, but it is really embarrassing that no one in this Manchu Dynasty can take the initiative to stand up.

Ma Hong hugged his fists and said: "Queen Mother, you know, for a soldier, the best result is the horse leather shroud, and he will die on the battlefield! This is very likely to be the last battle of the old man, I implore the Queen Mother to be gracious, the veteran is just inconvenient for his legs and feet, but he is not old enough to be confused, and he can still lead my Celestial Empire army to fight!"

The queen frowned and said: "Old general, you don't need to say much, the Great Wei can have a general like you, the palace is very proud, but my Wei country has been fighting abroad for many years, I just hope that people like you can live in life, you don't need to say more, let's recuperate in Luoyang!"

She really doesn't want such an old general to return to the battlefield again.

Who knows, this old general, but after hearing the voice, he simply knelt in the hall neatly, and said: "When His Majesty was still the king of Qi, the last general was appointed as a general in the army, large and small, after more than 30 battles, all of them were big battles, not that the last general was proud, but in this Manchu Dynasty, who has experienced a war of no less than 300,000 people?"

As soon as these words came out, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty fell completely silent.

That's right.

Who has experienced the Great War?

Who has seen the scene of the Great War?

Who can command a large army to fight?

Empress He Ning said: "Old general, no matter what you say, this palace can't let you go to the battlefield." ”

Ma Hong knelt and hugged his fists and said: "Queen Mother, the veteran's time is running out, this will be the last chance for the last general to go to the battlefield, if you don't let the last general go, I am afraid that the last general will die unhappily, the last general begs you, if you are not allowed, the last general will have been kneeling in the Chengde Hall until he kneels to death!"

With that, Mahon slammed his head on the ground.

He Ning was speechless for a while, not knowing what to say.

At this time, the crown prince Zhao Hongqing whispered in his mother's ear: "Queen mother, let's retreat from the court first, and then discuss later." ”

He Ning nodded, and then announced his retreat from the dynasty.

Until the people were gone, Mahon still knelt in the main hall and did not look up.
