Xingjing Imperial City, Jinluan Palace.

"I didn't hear you clearly. ”

Emperor Li Kun's spirit is becoming more and more decadent, and he is no longer heroic as before, and his people are sitting on the dragon chair, which also gives people a sense of twilight, but this Manchu Dynasty has long been accustomed to this.

But now, as the emperor's voice mixed with anger, puzzlement, and surprise sounded, Chao Chinese Wu seemed to see the vigorous emperor five years ago again.

In front of His Majesty's steps, the privy envoy Wang Jing wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said again: "Back to the saint, the entire Lingnan Dao has raised the anti-flag!" When he spoke, his face was full of bitterness, because the observation envoy of the Lingnan Dao was in-law with him, and after this incident, he was considered to have done it as a privy envoy.

Originally, he was not very supportive of the national war, but he enjoyed a lot of credit for the victory of the national war, which caused some criticism, but after all, he couldn't hurt his muscles and bones, and when he got to his position, he wanted to move, it was a thousand difficulties, and he didn't seek merit but no fault, so he also lived in peace, but now the credit has not been enjoyed, the fault has struck, and the ending is doomed.

After hearing this repetition, Li Kun calmed down, sat on the dragon chair, and asked indifferently: "The whole one, who can explain it to me, what does this whole one mean?"

After the questioning, the hall was as quiet as death.

After a few breaths, Li Kun took the initiative to break the silence.

"If you don't speak, will you be able to put down the rebellion?" The seemingly plain words reflected Li Kun's dissatisfaction. This is not to blame him, because he has already felt that the limit is approaching, but fortunately, the country has succeeded in the war, opened up the territory, and the reform of the law has achieved initial results, and the reform of the military system has also seen the dawn, it is when a sufficient foundation has been laid for future generations, but such a big rebellion has emerged!

If we talk about rebellion, it is never-ending.

Even at the height of the dynasty, there were still sporadic rebellions. But that's what I've received today. The bureaucrats of the entire land, from top to bottom, together with a few generals with real power, mingled with the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect. Raise the anti-flag. It's rare in history. But every time it happens, it means a lot.

The entire Dao domain is reversed, how much oppression should it be to be generated?

This kind of thing. It has always happened when the world is in turmoil, representing the troubled times, and now, although Li Kun knows that his life is short, he has achieved many great deeds, and it is the time when he is in high spirits, and the occurrence of this incident is tantamount to pouring cold water on his head! How can he endure it?

More importantly, this matter does not only involve one province, but is likely to erode the entire southeast, which is not something that can be ended in just a few years.

You must know that at the same time as Wang Jing's report, he also handed over the note, and the above news was transmitted to Gyeonggi in the fastest time using supernatural techniques, and then there was a post station running horse, which was sent urgently.

If it weren't for absolute urgency, there would be no need to pass it on like this.

And what he said above is also shocking, because the bureaucracy and the White Lotus Sect merge, the biggest threat of the rogues and thieves has been eliminated.

One of the big reasons for the rebellion was that it could not be defended, and this defense was not a defense, but a garrison and governance.

The place that is attacked often has to lose order, and to strengthen its own power, it is necessary to operate order, and the rebels in ancient times, who can achieve something, some are not good at fighting at all, but they are good at serving the political side, so that there is enough money and food, and there is no shortage of soldiers and armor, so as to rule the world.

Even if some people realize such a problem and have the intention to invite political talents, but in the name of rebellion, no one really helps, and eventually becomes weaker and weaker, and the imperial army soon collapses.

Now that the bureaucrats of Lingnan Province have joined in, the rebels of the White Lotus Sect do not need to invite anyone at all, and directly appointing the original team is enough to maintain the stability of the sphere of influence, continue to engage in production, and provide the necessary supplies for the conquest.

And in such a situation, how easy is it to calm down quickly?

And once it can't be suppressed quickly, the rebellion of this Dao Domain will inevitably affect the surroundings, and even the Dao Domain on the side will have abnormal movements, and it will be difficult to clean up in the end.

"Is it true that I am about to leave, but I want to leave a scourge for the emperor that will not be quelled? ”

This thought flashed through Li Kun's mind, making him more and more annoyed, and he couldn't help but say out loud: "Wasn't the rebel of the White Lotus Sect eliminated a long time ago, how can it be ......" As he spoke, Li Kun himself stopped talking, and he already remembered that it was the Lingnan Dao that said that the White Lotus Sect only had the sins left.

In this way, it is tantamount to a thief shouting to catch a thief.

"Now it seems that Lingnan Dao has been in contact with the White Lotus Sect from top to bottom, and their twists and turns ......" The more Li Kun thought about it, the more he felt depressed, and he felt that this fact was unbelievable.

A good court official is not appropriate, and he doesn't want a good future, but he goes to be a thief and a thief, and it takes more than ten years of hard work to get fame and fortune, and it is too bizarre to throw it away.

Then, he remembered how strange the music handed over by Lingnan Dao in the past few years was, not to mention, those officials seemed to have changed their temperament, unwilling to be promoted, and sat down.

"I see, I see, this is not willing to be promoted, it is clear that he has long been intent to peck a hole in my country for them to live in!"

Speaking of this, Li Kun's eyes swept over the ministers, and said in a deep voice: "This matter is not trivial, the charges of the Lingnan Provincial officials should be dealt with aggravated, and no one should be spared, in addition, the top priority is to quell the rebellion, the other party sent a four-way army, which is clearly a provocation, and it is necessary to immediately mobilize the elite soldiers of the northern Xinjiang to go over and extinguish them all!"

Speaking of this, he gritted his teeth and said: "I don't believe it, how fierce the Rouluo people are, they are not the opponents of my Darui officers and soldiers, how can he succeed in such a hidden person of the White Lotus Sect, and even divided the four-way army and played the banner of the Northern Expedition......" Speaking of which, Li Kun couldn't help but sneer.

"陛xià. ”

At this time, someone below spoke up, and Xu Yingyi, one of the rulers, came out and said: "Please also ask Your Majesty to take pity on the people, the White Lotus Sect rebelled, and the entire officialdom of Lingnan Dao moved with it, which is an unreasonable thing, there must be many hidden secrets inside, and the four-way army is really my Darui soldiers, how can I kill each other." ”

This Xu Yingyi succeeded Zhang Lian into the political hall, representing the interests of the traditional family of Darui, Lingnan Road a long time ago, it was a desolate place on the frontier, but after the change of several dynasties, when the war in the north, a large number of scholars moved south, enriched it, and gradually built a southern family.

Although Lingnan is south of Jiangnan Road, it is also a part of the southern family, and most of its members are in the local area, and the officials and gongcao are even more unknown.

With such a situation, how could Xu Yingyi allow Li Kun to convict the Lingnan bureaucrats, he would inevitably come up to block it, but in terms of explanation, he had to have a set of arguments.

But Li Kun is not back then, and with a frown, he understands Xu Yingyi's plan.

However, without waiting for Li Kun to speak again, the privy deputy envoy Geng Chi also came out and said: "Please also ask Your Majesty to Mingjian, the northern Xinjiang is at the beginning of peace, and the armies still have to deter the grassland departments, and sometimes there are moves to the north to sweep up. ”

This was quite tactful, but Li Kun also heard the meaning of the words-

The elite soldiers of Northern Xinjiang experienced a big victory, but it was difficult to mobilize, one was to deter Northern Xinjiang, and the other was for the sake of the distribution of military merits, and secondly, a large part of the soldiers and horses of the four roads were actually officers and soldiers of the imperial court, who were reversed by the White Lotus Sect and sent troops over, which was suspected of cannibalism.

But if you understand it, where can you be happy?

"At this critical moment, there is a danger in the country, and no one can worry about me!" He looked at the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, but remembered a person who was not here.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that when you send an envoy over, you can figure things out first, and then you can say that if you can fight without blood, you will undoubtedly preserve the vitality of the south. At this time, Cai Que also came forward to speak.

He is also a ruler in the political hall, from the imperial history.

The Imperial Historical Observatory is not a simple central institution, but also has branches at the local level, such as Li Qi, the imperial history of Jiannan, who had contact with Qiu Yan, and his people have recently become the backbone of the New Party.

In this Lingnan rebellion, the bureaucrats of the imperial history system were also involved, and there were even those close to Cai Que, and he did not want the emperor to surrender too early.

Li Kun took a deep breath and said, "Since you Aiqing intends to do this, then let people go over and ask clearly, but you can't help but make preparations and transfer the soldiers of several military towns along the river to support you." ”

When the ministers saw the emperor nodding their heads, they knew that a compromise had been reached, so they didn't say much.

Just before the dispersal of the court, the emperor seemed to have no intention of saying: "By the way, a few days ago, I said that I would summon Master Qiu back to Beijing, how did this matter go?

This question made the minds of the officials present change sharply, and then a few sentences were correct.

………………

At the same time, Qiu Yan, who was remembered by Li Kun, was looking at the battle report in his hand, listening to Liu Hong and Yang Huang's replies, and nodded slightly.

"The Lingnan rebellion did not surprise me, but they sent a four-way army, one of which pointed directly to Jiannan, but I didn't expect it, the official's affairs in Jiannan are about to end, but such a thing has emerged, I can't help but ask, since this is the case, I might as well go south again." ”

Having said this, he looked up at the generals in front of him and said: "The 5,000 soldiers trained before can be transferred back, and this official has decided to use Lingnan to return to Guanzhong, and he will use this power to control the military struggle again." (To be continued......)
