Chapter 431: Rebellion Without Rushing
Chapter 431: Rebellion Without Rushing
The state of Chu was plagued by disasters last year, and many peasant households in various places could not survive, and they embarked on the road of robbers who burned, killed, and looted.
Although robbers who rob food may be exterminated and beheaded to death in the future, at least they will not die immediately. If they are not robbers, they will starve to death immediately.
That's why, when I set off from Yongzhou City to the capital, I encountered so many dens of robbers and thieves along the way.
But being a bandit is not a top player.
Being caught is nothing more than beheading.
What is a top player?
Rebel!
The sky is dead, and Huang Tian should stand!
The calamity that came down from heaven must be because the emperor lost his virtue.
One after another disasters are instigated by someone with a heart. Isn't this a signal for a change of dynasty? !
As a result, many people listened to the rumors, turned from bandits to rebels, rose up, captured a piece of land, and established themselves as kings!
This kind of thing was not new last year.
However, they turned against each other, and the Nine Clans were miserable.
Moreover, these rebels were also suppressed by the Chu army with thunder.
Otherwise, it would not be necessary to drain the treasury of the state of Chu just by releasing funds for disaster relief, but to deal with rebellions one after another while doing disaster relief.
Xu Qing couldn't remember which rebellion was the largest, but he remembered the most outrageous one, which should be a village in the south of Chu State.
Several villagers formed an alliance with blood, and the leader said that he had received the guidance of heaven, and proclaimed himself emperor in the village. The first thing he did after becoming emperor was to build a Great Hall with a length of 50 feet and a width of 50 feet. Finally renovate a thatched house.
Then choose a concubine in the village to fill the harem.
In the end, he was wiped out by a head catcher and two fast catchers...
The Universiade Dynasty lasted five days from the founding of the country to its subjugation.
The scene was once embarrassing...
Originally, the nine clans were punished for the crime of treason, but because of their outrageously small scale, only a few leaders were killed, and some of the remaining people were convicted of mobilizing a crowd to make trouble.
It was precisely this kind of thing that happened a lot last year, so Xu Qing was not surprised at all when Xiao Ye said that there was a rebellion.
It can be spread to the capital, it seems that the scale of the rebellion is not small.
However, from Xu Qing's point of view, this rebellion is not wise, and this group of people are obviously not in a hurry to rebel now.
The environment for the rebellion in Chu State last year was so good, and it can be said that there was a lot of response if they wanted to do something.
Now that the calamity has receded, a thousand wastes are waiting for prosperity, and the people everywhere have settled down.
Choose to rebel at this time?
What are they drawing?
Is this the limitation of the peasant class that I learned in my previous life?
The news is always slow?
Royal Study Room
The Emperor Chu handed the memorial to King Xian: "Brother Emperor, the scale of this rebellion is really not small. The Fengzhou is mountainous, and the Zhao Kingdom's mission passed by, so it is not easy to take a detour. If there is a mistake, Xu Qing That kid's hard work these days will be in vain."
"The Zhao Kingdom mission?" Xian Wang said: "Order the household department to prepare the money and food needed for the three shadow guards and the feather guards to set off, and call that kid over."
Emperor Chu nodded, looked at Eunuch Wei and said, "Wei Zhong, go and call the Minister of the Household Department into the palace."
The Hubu Shangshu came very quickly, and the money dispatch needed to suppress the rebellion in Fengzhou naturally needed him as the Hubu Shangshu, so he was waiting outside the palace early.
The Emperor of Chu looked at the Minister of the Household Department and said, "Zheng Aiqing, how long will it take to prepare food and grass?"
The Minister of the Household Department cupped his hands and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, it will not take a day to prepare everything. Start preparations now, and the army will start tomorrow."
Emperor Chu nodded: "Okay, this matter cannot be sloppy, and Zheng Aiqing will arrange it personally, so I can rest assured."
The Minister of the Household Department cupped his hands and said: "I obey the order."
Andingbo Mansion
Su Qian and Xu Qing walked hand in hand in the back garden. It rained a lot a few days ago, and the soil in the back garden is still a little wet.
Nowadays, a hundred flowers bloom in the garden, and the fish in the pond swim more happily.
Su Qian turned her head to look at Xu Qing and said, "Husband, Bing'er Little Sister's only way is blocked by rebels, will it be okay?"
Xu Qing thought for a while, looked at Su Qian and said, "Is there anything wrong? Is the lady asking Bing'er or the rebel?"
Xu Qing felt that the plain hand she was holding began to pull back and said honestly: "Don't worry, my lady, those rebels will not last long. Now that the rebellion environment in Chu State is not good, they choose to rebel now, and the marching time will be counted at most. It should be wiped out by the court in less than half a month."
"The rebels who only thought of rebellion at this time are either stupid, or they were instigated and used by others. However, no matter what the reason is, their days will not last long, and they will not be successful."
Su Qian nodded after listening and said: "Is that so? I still don't feel at ease. Although Bing'er Little Sister is very skilled in martial arts, there are not many accompanying guards. Can you send someone over to check?"
Xu Qing nodded and said: "Don't worry, lady, I understand."
At this moment, Xuan'er, a little girl, ran over and said, "My lord, that father-in-law is here again, and he is outside, asking my aunt to come over."
Xu Qing nodded and said, "I see."
After finishing speaking, Xu Qing patted Su Qian's hand: "Go and take a look for my husband, my wife is waiting at home."
Su Qian nodded and said, "Husband, go early and come back early."
Royal Study Room
When Xu Qing walked to the imperial study room, the Emperor Chu was sitting on the imperial table and immersed himself in writing the memorial, writing non-stop with the ink brush.
King Xian sat on the side with his legs crossed, drinking tea leisurely, closing his eyes from time to time, and savoring it carefully.
It seems to want to say: this day, comfortable!
Xu Qing walked into the imperial study room, bowed and said: "I see..."
The Xian Wang waved his hand: "It's fine, it's fine, there are no outsiders, so there is no need for politeness."
Emperor Chu wanted to raise his head to say something, but King Xian glanced at him and said, "Hurry up, or you won't be able to finish approving today's memorials. There will be so many tomorrows." Haven't you watched "Song of Tomorrow"?"
As he spoke, King Xian picked up a piece of pastry on the plate at hand, put it in his mouth and ate it.
The emperor of Chu lowered his head again, and the virtuous king looked at Xu Qing and said: "Xu Qing, the imperial court has an important task for you this time, you can't refuse."
Xu Qing: "What are the consequences if I refuse?"
King Xian thought for a while and said, "Why don't you go back and look up the "Laws of the Great Chu" and what is the crime of disobedience?"
Xu Qing: "..."
King Xian stood up and patted Xu Qing on the shoulder after eating the pastries, and said, "Don't worry, it's not a difficult task, it's just suppressing the bandits, a mob can't make a difference, you take the shadow guards to the king and then transfer the imperial army, at most half a Moon will crush the rebellion."
Xu Qing wondered: "Then there's no need for me to go? Isn't there a group of generals? I don't know the art of war and can't fight. Wouldn't it be a waste of help if I went?"
King Xian looked at him: "Leave the fighting to the Shadow Guards and the Imperial Army, and you don't need to fight."
Xu Qing: "Then what are you going to do?"
The virtuous king said: "Go and meet the person you want to see."
Xu Qing blinked: "What is the prince talking about?"
The virtuous king: "We know each other."
Chu Huang raised his head and looked at his brother Huang, then at Xu Qing, with doubts in his eyes, what are they talking about?
Is there something you are hiding from yourself?
How come it's tacit understanding? !
