Summoning the world to be one

Chapter 87
Chapter 87: Nanxiang Surprise Report
After the Great War in the Central Plains, the world returned to temporary peace, and all countries were accumulating strength and waiting for the next big war, but there were exceptions, that is, Qin, Han and Chu.

The Qin State occupied Longguan, which made the Han State feel like sitting on pins and needles. In order to regain Longguan, the Han State successively increased its troops in the direction of Longguan, but Qin State was not to be outdone. A strategically important place could not be given up, so troops continued to increase in Longguan. Therefore, a small Longguan contained most of the soldiers and horses of the Qin and Han countries.

However, after the end of the Central Plains War, Chu State mobilized troops and horses to drive southward to drive away the Wu army. On the ground, the Wu army retreated all the way to Liyang, and finally returned to Danyang County, and Wu's raid on Jiujiang ended here.

However, the troubles of Chu state are far from Jiujiang and Wu Jun. In the newly occupied Lu County and Taishan County, the rebels of Lu State rebelled against the rule of Chu State one after another. In order to stabilize Lu, Chu State had to invest most of its troops in Lu County and Mount Tai. In the county, the violent suppression of the survivors of the Lu State finally calmed down the turmoil.

In Wancheng, Deng Sheng in Qianyang Palace was looking at a map of the world, which was drawn by the members of Der Spiegel through a series of commercial activities, mixed with various caravans, and traveled to various places. Deng Sheng was looking for the next target on it.

At this time, Shang Shu ordered Jiang Wan to come in in a hurry, with a very ugly face, and bowed to Deng Sheng, saying: "Your Majesty, something is wrong. The people in Nanxiang City rioted and attacked the county government. The magistrate of Nanxiang cannot suppress it. Please The imperial court sent troops."

"What?" Deng Sheng was shocked, and hastily snatched the letter from Jiang Wan's hand, opened it, and found that the contents were
"Chen Nanxiang county magistrate Zhu Gaoqi reported to the court that on April [-]th in the ninth year of Qianyuan, nearly a thousand mobs from Nanxiang attacked the county government office, killed dozens of county soldiers and injured nearly a hundred people. The minister was unable to suppress it. I implore the court to send Soldiers and horses."

"Boom!" Deng Sheng slapped his palm on the desk and asked, "What is the magistrate of Nanxiang doing? A mob of nearly a thousand people stormed the county government. This is something Deng Liguo has never seen in more than 200 years. Come, call the Zhongshu Ling, Shangshu Ling, and the six Shangshu, and also call Habayashi General Deng Ai."

In less than a stick of incense, everyone was summoned by Deng Sheng and rushed over. Don't hurry up. The servants who came to send the message have already said that Deng Sheng was already furious.

"I will pay my respects to the King!" After everyone arrived, they saluted.

Deng Sheng was not in the mood to greet them, and directly threw the report of the magistrate of Nanxiang in front of them, and said angrily: "Look, you all look, the mob in Nanxiang city is rioting, and the county magistrate and county soldiers are powerless to suppress it. Letters pleading for help have all arrived in front of the widow."

Zhongshu ordered Deng Yong to pick up the slips, and when he opened them, his expression became very ugly. After Deng Yong read them, he circulated them one by one.

After Deng Sheng saw that everyone had finished reading, he said, "I have always thought that I, Da Deng, can't say that the country is rich and the people are strong, but it can also be said that the country is safe and stable. I have also guessed that newly merged places like Yingchuan, Jiangxia, and Nanjun It is inevitable for some people to miss their homeland, but I did not expect that there would be riots in Nanyang, the core of my Great Deng. Is this a joke that I want everyone in the world to see?"

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Now that something has happened, we should first send people to suppress the turmoil, so as not to intensify it." Zhongshu Ling Deng Yong said.

Deng Sheng nodded, thinking that what Deng Yong said made sense, since the incident had already happened, it would be useless to pursue it further, and it was better to suppress the turmoil first.

"Your Majesty, I dare not agree with what your lord has said!" Just as Deng Sheng was about to send troops to suppress it, Fan Zhongyan, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, said.

"What's Fan Qing's opinion?" Deng Sheng asked puzzled.

Fan Zhongyan cupped his hands and said: "Back to the king, Nanxiang City has always been an important town in Nanyang. Since the founding of the Great Deng, there has been no war in Nanxiang, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Especially since the king ascended the throne, the business has flourished and countless people have benefited Why did the people riot suddenly occur at this time? I think that the court should not just send troops to suppress it, but should send people to Nanxiang to investigate clearly the ins and outs of the incident, so that the turmoil can be completely quelled."

Deng Sheng calmed down, thought carefully about Fan Zhongyan's words, and awakened the dreamer with a single word, yes, why did the people in Nanxiang suddenly riot? Countless people have benefited. It stands to reason that even if the people are not grateful to themselves, they will not make trouble. It seems that there must be a huge hidden secret.

"What do you think?" Deng Sheng asked the crowd, wanting to know their opinions.

"I think what Fan Shangshu said is true, and I seconded it!" Cui Hao was ordered to be the first to come out and seconded Fan Zhongyan's words.

Next, everyone present agreed with Fan Zhongyan.

Since the opinions were unanimous, Deng Sheng ordered: "In this case, I ordered Fan Zhongyan, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, to go to Nanxiang to investigate, and I must find out the ins and outs of the matter. In addition, I ordered Deng Ai, General Yulin, to lead three thousand The Habayashi Army will go together, and if the mob continues to riot, they will be suppressed directly." Investigation is one thing, but when the mob riots, it should be suppressed. It is already a matter of storming the county government, killing and injuring county soldiers. If you violate the law of the country, you must not be forgiven lightly.

"I take orders!" Fan Zhongyan and Deng Ai responded.

"Also, the magistrate of Nanxiang County must not be able to get rid of the responsibility for this civil uprising. He ordered people to escort him to Wancheng, and I will interrogate him in person." After Fan Zhongyan and Deng Ai took the order to leave, Deng Sheng thought of Nanxiang County again. Orders have always been used by officials to force the people to rebel. This time the riots were so loud, and it probably had something to do with the Nanxiang county magistrate. Maybe it was his usual actions that led to the riots this time?If it was really him, Deng Sheng wished to tear him into pieces.

After arranging everything, Deng Sheng let everyone leave, and he went to Kunning Palace.

In the Kunning Palace, Queen Cai Yan was teaching Deng Hao to study. It was very strange to say that, Cai Yan found that since Deng Sheng sent someone to pick Deng Hao to teach him last time, Deng Hao seemed to be enlightened overnight. Usually, after returning, no matter what I teach him, he will learn it quickly, so many people in the palace now say that Deng Hao is a child prodigy, which makes Cai Yan very happy.

Deng Sheng walked in from the door, and the maids saluted him one after another, but Deng Sheng, who was in a bad mood, ignored him.

Seeing Deng Sheng's preoccupation, Cai Yan asked the maid to take Deng Hao out to play, while she walked behind Deng Sheng, put two jade hands on Deng Sheng's head, pressed it gently, and asked: "What's wrong with the king? Why do you look so preoccupied?"

Deng Sheng took a deep breath and said, "It's nothing, it's just that there are some troubles in the court, which can't be solved for a while." Deng Sheng usually doesn't talk about the affairs of the court, because he doesn't want her to accompany him Worry, the second reason is to prevent the harem from interfering in politics.

Cai Yan saw that Deng Sheng didn't want to say anything, so he stopped asking, but smiled slightly, and said: "The court affairs, the courtiers and concubines don't understand, but the king must pay attention to his body, don't be too tired. Your lords are here."

Deng Sheng didn't speak, just closed his eyes, nodded silently, and then quietly enjoyed Cai Yan's pressure.
