Pet official

After dealing with these chores, Ruan Yunqing also became idle.

With the matter of Yunxiu first, Ruan Yunqing took the opportunity to ask Song Bin for an antidote from Lian Zui, Zhao Qing and others.Song Bin was so busy that he couldn't help laughing angrily when he heard this, he really wanted to grab him in his arms and teach him a lesson.

Song Ren was able to give Ruan Yunqing the antidote, it was because he loved him, loved him, and regarded Ruan Yunqing as his lover, he just wished to give him his heart.But what does the life and death of Zhao Qing and the others have to do with him? Could he be so kind and eager to offer the antidote one by one?That is the magic weapon he uses to restrain these eyeliners. If he solves it, how can he rest assured to drive these eyeliners to work for him?

After being tough for a long time, in the end, he couldn't resist Ruan Yunqing's disappointed eyes. Song Bin first detoxified Yunxiu, and then promised again and again that as long as he seized the throne, he would detoxify Zhao Qing and others.It was a critical moment right now, and no mistakes could be made. Without the Hundred Days Red as a restraint, Song Ru was really worried about Zhao Qing and the others.He was already suspicious. In this world, except Ruan Yunqing, Song Ru didn't trust anyone.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month later, the Eagle Army sent out finally sent back the news of Feng Kui, but the news was as shocking as a bolt from the blue.

Feng Kui turned his back on him, he killed Xiao Yucheng, went out of the border, went all the way south, broke through more than a dozen cities, and killed him in the direction of the capital.

Xiao Yucheng died, and Song Ju didn't come to his senses for a long time when he heard the news.

This figure like a God of War has always been a symbol of indestructibility in Dongli's army. He has made great military exploits and is invincible. He has fought countless tough battles with the people of Beimang. support.

Now that this support is gone, Song Ju can hardly imagine what the border will be like at this time.

As if to fulfill Song Bin's conjecture, the border battle reports came back continuously.

In November of the 14th year of Hongyou, Xiao Yucheng died and the whole army mutinied.The 50 troops under his command fell apart overnight. Except for the 20 people who followed Feng Kui's rebellion, the remaining [-] horses turned into more than ten stocks, followed their respective commanders, and established themselves as kings among the border towns.They burned, killed, looted, attacked cities and seized villages, and gradually expanded to the hinterland of the Central Plains, threatening to encroach on the Central Plains.

These people are desperadoes, they were shocked by Xiao Yucheng's prestige in the past, but they can restrain themselves a bit, now Xiao Yucheng's death, coupled with Feng Kui's provocative words, saying that Emperor Hongyou killed the heroes in vain, fearing that their meritorious deeds will be great. To recall them border guards one by one to the capital, and then kill them all, it made these rough men tremble with fear.

Over the years, the imperial court has often deducted military pay, stripped grain and grass, and peeled layers of skin. When they arrived at Yulong Pass, all the grain the soldiers could see was old rice, which was not only rough and unpalatable, but also mixed with most of the sand. After sifting with a fine basket for a while, the remaining rice grains could not even fill the gaps between the teeth.That's all, Feng Kui is the commander in chief of the army, and the food and salaries of 50 soldiers have to go through his hands before being distributed to the soldiers. There is not much left, and if Feng Kuiyan plucks the hair, there will be even less left. After they were sent to the soldiers, they were very little. Sometimes after several days of fighting and fighting a fierce battle, they returned to the camp before they could have a small bowl of rice soup and a piece of coarse flour bread with bran and rice bran in it to feed their hunger. .

If it weren't for Xiao Yucheng's upright spirit, his outstanding military exploits, and admiration, and after collecting enemy funds several times, he would distribute them all to supplement his soldiers, and he would not keep any of it.Their army of 50 could not win the border victory at all, and they were provoked by Feng Kui. I am afraid that they have already turned back countless times.

There has been grievances in the army for a long time, and once it backfires, the consequences can be imagined. When the 50 troops heard that Xiao Yucheng was dead, the whole army mutinied like a flood of gates.Even because of Feng Kui's banner of avenging Xiao Yucheng, even those soldiers who were not ashamed of him as a man all followed him. The crowd was furious, and they pulled up a banner, vowing to enter the capital and cut off the The dog's head of Emperor Hongyou to comfort General Xiao's spirit in heaven.

The rebel army was in full swing, but within half a month they had captured several state capitals, and the guards couldn't resist these evil spirits who had just left the battlefield. This road was like a flood passing through the border without any obstacles, and they had already attacked after entering the customs. The last pass, Huziling.

When Emperor Hongyou heard the news, he was frightened out of his wits. After crossing Huziling and another high mountain to the south, the rebel army entered the hinterland of the Central Plains. , it is only a matter of time before reaching the capital.

There was a quarrel in the court hall, headed by Liu Tong and Shu Shangshu, the main battle and the main peace were divided into two factions, and they quarreled in the golden hall every day.

Shu Shangshu advocated peace, because of years of fighting, the court not only lacks troops, has no generals to send, and even has no reserves of war horses, other food, weapons, salaries, etc. cannot be raised in a short time.Today's corvee taxes are very complicated. Except for some wealthy places, the people in other places are all complaining. The border is already in chaos. The common people will be overwhelmed with heavy taxes and rise up.

But Liu Tong took the lead in the battle, not because he didn't know the people's hunger, but even if he wanted to make peace, Feng Kui might not get what they wanted.At this time, Feng Kui knew best in his heart that he had no choice but to go back to the end. Emperor Hongyou would never tolerate him. Once he flinched, he would surely die. As a hero in troubled times, he may be able to win half of the country in the future, divide the country and become independent, and become the founding monarch of the country.

And the fact is just as Liu Tong expected, when Feng Kui was arguing endlessly in the court, Feng Kui had already led his troops to attack Huziling. You can retreat and defend, if you continue to secretly collude with Beimang, then Dongli's country will really fall into a dead end.

Emperor Hongyou finally came to his senses. He drank Shu Shangshu back and asked Liu Tong to quickly send troops to resist. Feng Kui must not let Feng Kui attack Huziling.

Liu Tong smiled wryly, spread out his palms, and said to the emperor: "The court has been fighting Beimang for nearly eight years, and there are already no soldiers to send, and no generals to go out. The emperor is really embarrassing for the old minister."

"How could it be?" Someone among the civil servants said, "Isn't there still 20 troops from the Northwest Military Camp? Just send them out to fight against the enemy."

Shu Shangshu couldn't help sneering, "The Northwest Army Camp is stationed in the outskirts of Beijing. It is only used to defend the capital. It is the last line of defense for the capital. If the Northwest Army Camp is transferred away, the capital will be opened wide. Who will guard the safety of the capital? Who will guard the safety of Long Live?"

"It's better to go to the imperial conquest." An official with three beards said: "The rebel army is really a mob. As long as Wanzai takes the soldiers from the Northwest Army Camp to Huziling, it will surely deter the three armies and make the rebel army flee without fighting! "

The crowd argued again, and in the end, most of the people supported the imperial conquest. Originally, the allocation power of the northwest military camp was in the hands of the emperor. They were the emperor's life-saving personal guards. Naturally, they should firmly hold the military power in their own hands. Soldiers change defenses year after year, but the coach is only assigned before the battle.At this time, it is a good idea for the royal conquest to not only show the majesty of the emperor, but also shock the powerful enemy.

It's a pity that they think too highly of their emperor.

Emperor Hongyou was as timid as a mouse, not to mention holding a knife, even if he saw someone holding a knife, he would tremble into a ball with fright.Where is he willing to go? When he heard this, he slapped the table angrily, "I have to go personally for everything, so what's the use of you people?"

The emperor was furious, and the war was imminent, all the ministers had nothing to worry about, the golden hall was silent, and fell into a dead silence for a while.

Hongdi couldn't help cursing, these people can talk one by one in their free time, they boast so much that they are capable, they are omnipotent, and when it's time to be serious, they all pretend to be dumb.

All the officials were more and more afraid to speak, the matter was so important that they would not get any good results if they said it or not. At this time, it was safest to just keep their heads down and keep silent.

Just at the moment of stalemate, a person in the hall suddenly said loudly: "Let the lonely father go and wipe out the rebels, so as to relieve the urgent need!"

Song Ren stepped forward, wanting to fight for the emperor himself.The ministers couldn't help but be tongue-tied, all sighing that the prince is crazy?

That is the army led by Xiao Yucheng, not to mention how brave and skilled they have been in fighting Beimang for so many years, with one enemy against a hundred, just relying on the superiority in numbers alone, the imperial court is also far behind a cut.

Feng Kui led 30 troops. He attacked all the way south, and there were many refugees along the way. The bandits went to attach themselves. There is.And Chaozhongman is full of calculations, plus the northwest military camp, there are only more than 70 people, not to mention anything else, just one against three, there is no chance of winning this battle.Emperor Hongyou is the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven will get twice the result with half the effort. Just relying on his majesty to bluff people, he can be worth hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, while Song Ren is just a prince. , this chance of winning must be greatly reduced, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there will be no return.

Liu Tong wanted to stop him, but now this is the only way to do it. If Song Ren won't go, who can take care of this bad guy?In the past, he was willing to help Song Bin capture Feng Kui in order to help Song Bin seize military power.Now that the military power is in hand, Song Ju's life has become precarious.Today is already different from the past, and the old plan has become completely different. When Song Ren was making plans, he never thought that Feng Kui would be so bold and cunning that he would kill Xiao Yucheng, stirring up the whole army to mutiny. become so tricky.

When soldiers approach the city, there is only one battle.

Song Bin was dressed in a black python robe, his phoenix eyes were drooping, and his eyes were as calm as water. He did not speak impassionedly to the officials. Just like in the past, he was tall and graceful, with a detached and indifferent look all over his body. Meaning, the demeanor is domineering, standing quietly above the court hall is already enough to make people submit.

Emperor Hongyou almost jumped up with joy after hearing Song Ren's words, and he praised repeatedly: "Good! The prince is so benevolent and filial, I am very relieved."

He hurriedly asked Liu Tong to deliver the decree, the household department raised food and grass, and the military department dispatched soldiers. Half a month later, Song Bi sent troops to suppress the rebellion.
