wealthy queen

On the surface, the royal family was appeased. In fact, the emperor and all civil and military officials knew that they had long since left their hearts. Not long after the Ling family army left, the Northeast battlefield was defeated and the people were massacred. As Pei Yuanlie and the others had expected, they rose up one after another, all fighting the emperor's senseless banner. At the same time, the Southwest King couldn't bear it, and finally moved, and started a fierce competition with the Wei family army.

"bump……"

In the imperial study room, it was also heard that the vassal princes rebelled. The emperor summoned all the generals to discuss with the cabinet, including Pei Yuanlie, who had never been an official. When he mentioned sending troops to quell the chaos, no one was willing to take the initiative to lead troops. In anger, he swept through all the files on the table: "What's the use of supporting you? The country is in a critical moment, and no one volunteers to fight."

Trembling fingers pointed at the generals one by one, especially Pei Yuanlie and Shen Dafu.

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

Everyone stood up and bowed unanimously, the emperor was so angry that he couldn't vent his anger. When he sat down again, Huo Yelin took the initiative to say: "King Sanjiang, King Zhao, King Cangyun, King Xiyang, and King Xixiang rebelled at the same time. They are all around [-]. The general is not unwilling to lead the Northwest Army to go there. However, the general received news today that the troops on the border of Xia Kingdom are frequently mobilized. I am afraid that there is a conspiracy. If His Majesty can send other troops to Ding'an City to replace the Northwest The army guards, and the five kings are handed over to the Northwest Army, and the final general promises to kill them one by one."

Dare to speak so confidently, except for the God of War, there are probably not many people to be found. Most of the generals expressed their admiration, but the emperor's face turned ugly. Knowing that there was a change in Xia Guo, how could he mobilize the Northwest Army?External troubles are far more terrifying than internal troubles, especially those from Xia.

"I know Huo Aiqing's intentions, but the Northwest Army cannot move because of Xia Guo's wolfish ambitions."

Knowing that he said this on purpose, the emperor still had to show a gratified expression to praise and appease, Huo Yelin said hypocritically: "What your majesty said is very true, what should we do if the five kings make trouble?"

"Yuan Lie, what do you think?"

The emperor almost vomited a mouthful of old blood, so he simply ignored him, and turned directly to Pei Yuanlie. His purpose of summoning them today was actually just for Pei Yuanlie. The five kings rebelled, and Yang Jiajun and his Dragon and Tiger Camp could handle it , but he only wanted to consume Pei Yuanlie's Iron Armored Guards. Besides, Shen Liang still had the Nether Dark Guards in his hands. for?

"How can I see it? It's not that Uncle doesn't know, I have blood in my body and I can't fight."

It had long been expected that he would definitely look for him, so Pei Yuanzheng talked about the bloody setting sun in a foolish way. No one knew about it except his own people, and his bloody setting sun had been resolved long ago.

"I see that all of your armored guards are very tyrannical. You, the commander, can stay in the central army tent to command, and you don't have to go to the battlefield in person. Besides, you can also follow the old general Wei and take the princess to go. The ghost of the princess Wouldn't the hidden guard also help you? Yuan Lie, you are already in your twenties, so you can't always be an official, right? Isn't it good to take this opportunity to make contributions and enter the court to discuss politics?"

It is rare that the emperor did not get angry like before, but was persuasive and persuasive like his elders. Those who don't know may think that the relationship between the nephew and uncle is so good, but which one is not a smart fox?Although everyone didn't speak, they all expressed in their hearts that the emperor really worked hard for Pei Yuanlie to lead the armored guards into battle.

"What kind of official? I never thought about becoming an official. Uncle, don't force me. Now I am terribly dead. In order to prevent Liangliang from becoming a widow at a young age, I have to live well. If uncle wants the Iron Armored Guard To serve the country, let’s wait another ten years, and when our eldest son turns fifteen, I will pass on the armored guard to him.”

He is fierce, and Pei Yuanlie is more fierce than him. He adopts a soft policy, and Pei Yuanlie doesn't mind talking nonsense with him. In short, as long as the armored guard is in his hands for a day, he will never go out to fight.

"bump!"

"Pei Yuanlie!"

Wait for more than ten years, and at that time it will be unclear whether he is still alive or not.

After all, the emperor couldn't hold it back, and stared at the desk. The words Pei Yuanlie echoed heavily in the imperial study room, but he himself was indifferent, and said with a lazy and hippie smile: "Uncle, you are so funny!" , Yang Shuai is still here, and the 20-strong army of the Yang family has been trained for several years. You don’t have to forget it, why do you always stare at the armored guards? And the generals here, it’s not that they don’t want to lead troops to fight, you alone If you don’t distribute it to them, how do you let them fight?”

What no one dared to say, let Pei Yuanlie clarify everything at once, not to mention far away, aren't Huaiyang Hou father and son strong soldiers?But the emperor didn't give him a single soldier, so how could he lead his troops into battle?There is no way to serve the country, but that's all!

"you……"

What the emperor hated the most was the couple's unrestrained speech, pointing at his hand shaking like a chicken paw going crazy, Yang An who was waiting by the side silently offered him the pills.

"His Majesty!"

Just when the two were waiting for the next confrontation, a young eunuch hurried in, knelt in the center of the hall and said obediently, "Your Majesty, urgent report from Minzhong!"

"Minzhong?"

The emperor, who finally got over his strength, frowned. Minzhong can be said to be the granary of Daqin. Every year, six floors of Daqin’s grain comes from central Fujian. Now the southwest is in chaos, the northeast is in chaos, and all parts of the country are in chaos. Not long ago He just issued the imperial decree and raised [-]% of the taxes in Central Fujian. Could something have happened?

"pass!"

"Yes!"

Thinking of this, the emperor's heart became even heavier. Not long after the little eunuch left, he led a middle-aged man in. Judging by his clothes, he should be from the Minzhong government office.

"See your majesty, long live my emperor, long live!"

The man probably had never seen such a scene before, and he was a little trembling. The emperor was not in the mood to see him trembling, and said a little eagerly: "What's the matter in Fujian to report? Why don't you submit a report?"

In general, local affairs are reported by officials, and few people are sent here.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, a peasant uprising broke out in central Fujian not long ago, and the prefect has been imprisoned by the rioting peasants, unable to write notes, so he can only take out his seal and send a young man to the imperial city to report in person."

"what?"

The emperor growled in disbelief, how could this happen?

"Tell me carefully, what is going on?"

Peasant uprisings are different from vassal princes' rebellion, and they have a huge impact. If one is not careful, it may develop into a nationwide uprising. What's more, the prefect of central Fujian has been imprisoned. It must have been very serious. I ignored the emperor's shock. Xie Ge Lao Shen asked loudly.

"Yes Yes……"

The man looked at his official robe, and said with a trembling voice: "The peasant uprising happened half a month ago, when the emperor issued an imperial decree to increase taxes. At first, it was just some merchants and landlords who were dissatisfied. After killing the landlords who wanted to exploit them, the farmers responded one after another. In less than three days, the rebel army composed of farmers reached [-] people. The locals, for some reason, also joined the uprising, they captured the magistrate and put him in the dungeon, and the little one escaped with all his might."

As soon as he left the range of Minzhong, he bought a fast horse with the remaining money and went straight to the imperial city. He didn't know what happened to Minzhong now.

"Damn troublemaker!"

The emperor slapped Long An viciously: "Yuan Lie, I sent you to lead the armored guards to quell the chaos, and you must break them up..."

"I reject!"

No one thought that the emperor would give the order directly, but Pei Yuanlie was unambiguous, his tall body slowly stood up, and at some point, the usual idleness disappeared, replaced by a seriousness that everyone was unfamiliar with, and he saw His exquisite phoenix eyes pointed directly at the emperor, and his thin lips twitched: "Didn't the emperor hear that? The reason for everything is that you raised the tax again. The original tax has already exceeded the burden of the people. You have to raise it again. It means that there is no way for them to survive, can you blame them for revolting in order to survive?"

He hadn't even heard about the taxation issue. Looking at the way Xie Ge frowned, he was afraid that he would make decisions without going through the cabinet. Since he poked the basket out by himself, why should he clean it for him? butt?If he could, he would like to praise Minzhong for doing a good job, such a fatuous emperor, who would he turn against if he didn't?

"you you you……"

Obviously did not expect Pei Yuanlie to speak like this, the emperor was trembling with anger, the officials present, including Yang Tiancheng, all had the impulsiveness to praise Pei Yuanlie, this time it was indeed the emperor who went too far up.

"Whoever the emperor likes to send, my armored guards will not kill the people of Daqin!"

In the end, he made another wild statement, and Pei Yuanlie didn't care whether the emperor would blame him or not, and walked away angrily.

It is true that the emperor should not have done this matter, and the ministers of civil and military affairs all said it in their hearts, but the peasant uprising had already broken out, and what should be suppressed still had to be suppressed. In the end, this heavy responsibility fell on the head of Longhuying, because Yang Tiancheng, the coach of the Yang family army, was in charge of it. After careful evaluation, he took the initiative to ask for war to quell the rebellion of the Five Kings one step in advance. Apart from the Yang family army, the only thing the emperor could mobilize was the Dragon and Tiger Camp. It was absolutely impossible for the Imperial City Army and Yulin Army to leave half a step away.

"The emperor has indeed made a fuss too much, my lord, why don't we withdraw as well."

In Prince Qingping's Mansion, Shen Liang spent a lot of words to appease his prince. When Mrs. Shen Dafu, Jing Xiran and others came, Shen Liang suddenly proposed.

"It's okay, the world is in chaos now, and the people are struggling to survive. It doesn't make much sense for us to stay. Let's go to Xia Kingdom first and then plan."

Hearing this, Pei Yuanlie turned to look at him, and reached out to hold his hand. After all, they still came this far.

"Ah."

Nodding to meet his gaze, clasping his fingers with his backhand.

"Xiaoqi, you go back to Xia Kingdom immediately, let Tianji and others who are already on standby at the border to mobilize the army wantonly, make the illusion that they want to invade Qin, if necessary, you can also perform a double reed with the Northwest Army, Xiang Qing, Xiran, you are preparing to evacuate according to the arrangement we agreed earlier, Shen Da's second son, you are also ready to go out at any time."

Now that it has been decided, there is no reason to procrastinate. Pei Yuanzheng quickly arranged, and everyone nodded at the same time. Xiang Qing frowned and said, "What about you?"

"We still have one last thing to do, rest assured, we will evacuate with you."

It was not Pei Yuanlie who answered him, but Shen Liang. He had already arranged it, and now he only owed Dongfeng.

"Well, let's go back and arrange it first."

Looking back and forth at the couple, Xiang Qing didn't ask what they were going to do in the end, they would naturally speak up if they needed it, and the evacuation was imminent, they had to be sure that nothing would go wrong, there was still a lot of preparation to be done, after all they were all procrastinating With a mouth at home.
