Song Xin was imprisoned, causing an uproar in the government and the opposition in Shangjing.

Then, at the instigation of well-intentioned people, the influential ministers in the court jointly wrote a letter to redress Song Xin's grievances, and in addition to the banker's alliance family, the city began to denounce the banker and spontaneously boycott the banker's goods.

King Chu Wei was very passive, and he didn't dare to go to court, because as soon as he appeared, his ears were filled with the voice of grievances for Song Xin, and picking up the excerpt was the content of redress for Song Xin, which made him upset, and asked Yao Linci, this time Yao Linci was also dumbfounded, because Song Xin asked Song Xin to put him in prison, King Chu Wei didn't ask him, in fact, he hid, and now King Chu Wei asked him what to do?

He said that he couldn't do anything about it, and let Song Xin restore the name to compensate, the dealer didn't do it, the meritorious man was wronged, the government and the opposition were happy, and when things came to this point, he had no choice.

King Chu Wei was dumbfounded, things were like this, it was he who made concessions to the dealer, but he didn't expect such a situation to occur, and some of them were out of control.

The matter is getting bigger and bigger, and some of the orphans who sacrificed their lives for the country are also coaxing, and they have not yet received pensions, and they demand that they be paid as soon as possible, because the price of food has dropped several times, and they can no longer live.

The price of daily necessities and the price of grain, Yao Linci said to King Chu Wei that there must be a court to come forward to stabilize the price, and it was indeed implemented during the war, and no one dared to manipulate the price of grain at that time, and King Chu Wei would ruthlessly raid his house and kill people, but the rebels were far away, and large households like the Zhuang family who felt that they had suffered a lot of losses began to want to make up for the losses.

King Chu Wei began to turn a blind eye, so conniving, other families began to follow suit, and the price of daily necessities and food increased several times in a few days, and ordinary people could not afford to buy them.

What's more, the orphans of those who died in the war were snatched as slaves, which aroused public outrage, and riots began to appear in Shangjing.

King Chu Wei has not expressed his position, and the matter fermented, and the more troublesome it became, it finally got out of control.

The families of those who died in the war united to rescue the robbed slaves, from the failure of negotiations, to the release of conflicts, and finally many people died, angry people began to smash and burn those big families, and then the conflict escalated again, civilians also participated, and began to attack those big families, Shangjing for a time fireworks and fireworks, shouting and killing were endless, and those garrisons who stayed in Shangjing to maintain law and order, to find out what happened, no matter how the commander roared, all refused to shoot and press.

Because they were so chilled, they died in battle, and they couldn't get the court's pension, but their wives and children became slaves of large families.

Within a few days, tens of thousands of people fled, and then there was a wave of refugees, and a large number of people left Shangjing with their children and daughters, some to the west and some to the south.

I didn't care too much about guarding the city gate at first, but the tide of refugees became more and more intense, and I couldn't stop it, so I panicked and hurriedly reported it.

When King Chu Wei received the letter, he sat down on his chair and sighed with his head to the sky.

That's hundreds of thousands of people who died in battle, he can get a pension, and if he can't get a pension and doesn't stop the atrocities of the big families, it has already contributed to the point where the people are detached from morality, but he doesn't dare to offend those big families, and this matter can't be solved.

In the blink of an eye, at the beginning of April, the land south of the Yangtze River has been covered with green.

The eldest prince finally captured Xiaoliang Mountain, but he also paid a great price, with nearly 10,000 casualties, but was finally driven across the Jingyang River by more than 200,000 rebels.

As soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, he received an urgent report from King Chu Wei that there was a riot in the capital, and asked him to lead his troops back to suppress it, and the eldest prince lamented, how could his father let the riot get out of control.

He didn't know that it was all done by his father.

He walked on the front foot, and Chai Shao led people across the river with the back foot, and then killed him to a place less than a hundred miles away from the capital, the eldest prince was helpless, and returned to prepare for a decisive battle with Chai Shao, but Chai Shao avoided the war, no matter how you insulted you, you ignored you.

After a few days of stalemate, King Chu Wei was in a hurry, and the eldest prince had to return to Beijing with his troops, but as soon as he left, Chai Shao followed, followed him all the way to the north gate, and made a siege posture, and King Chu Wei had to let the eldest prince repel the rebels first.

But the eldest prince brought people out, Chai Shao avoided the battle and sent the garrison to fight, Chai Shao sent people to rush up, and it was eaten by the garrison in the blink of an eye, and more was destroyed.

The eldest prince also wanted to use the garrison as bait to lure Chai Shao into battle, but Chai Shao was too cunning, so he was not fooled, and made the eldest prince's angry seven orifices smoke, so he firmly stuck him to the north city gate.

Miao Baichuan's rebellion was surprisingly smooth, and he triumphed all the way, and he didn't stop until the southeast mountainous area, because the terrain there was too complicated, and it was the territory that Lian Wu had been operating for many years, so he couldn't easily get involved without investigating clearly.

When Miao Baichuan hit here, not only did he not lose his troops, but also received the surrendered rebels all the way, and after reorganization, it has expanded to 250,000 or 60,000 horses.

Miao Baichuan was already four or five thousand miles away from the capital at this moment, and King Chu Wei wanted him to lead his troops back to the capital to quell the chaos, but he couldn't reach it.

The chaos in Shangjing has been out of control, all large and small families have been attacked, the Zhuang family, the Qian family, the Jin family and the Wei family have suffered the most heavy losses, the shops have been robbed, smashed and burned more than half, and the place where the Zhuang family has stored grain has been looted, if it is not for the timely rescue, I am afraid that it will be burned to the ground, and the other three families will not be much better.

There are also some big families with a bad reputation and many evildoers, and many homes have been looted, although they robbed the orphans who died in the war as slaves, and the people's anger was too great.

King Chu Wei tried to mobilize the 10,000 people in the secret place several times to quell the rebellion, but was dissuaded by Yao Linci.

The most fatal reason, as soon as these 10,000 people move, what should we do if the chaotic people take the opportunity to attack the royal city?

King Chu Wei was dumbfounded.

In addition to those big families in Shangjing, many civilians have fled Shangjing, and the northern city is basically empty, and most of the troublemakers are the families, relatives and friends of those who died in battle, because they all have some backgrounds, and there are those who are unwilling.

Hundreds of thousands of people died in the war, and even more people were involved, and with the instigation of people with intentions, the matter became bigger and bigger.

At this moment, Zhang Xian was no longer in Shangjing, and he returned to the fortress.

Except for the secret place, the rest of the fortress has returned to normal, the forbidden place has not been opened, or as before, Liu Yong Chen Gongwei finished arranging the garrison, and began to be busy training and expanding the army, Luo Fei Zhu Jian led 20,000 people to guard Dongguan.

The Dongcheng business district is as always, but Chen Gongwei issued an announcement to reduce the rent tax on the first floor, because the merchants who were affected by the Donglucheng auction got the news and began to divert here, some of them moved their headquarters directly, and some of them opened branches here.

The Dongcheng business district is gradually returning to prosperity.

Even the bazaar on the river beach outside the city began to be occupied, and the competition was fierce, because these merchants had seen Zhang Xian's loose control of commerce in Donglu City, and the protection measures were good, and the shipment flow was also large, so as long as it was under Zhang Xian's jurisdiction, the merchants were willing to come...
