retaliate

Chapter 1197 One stone stirs up a thousand waves
"Zhao's rebellion?"

The scroll in Nian Xu's hand fell to the ground, and the wind blew, the pages flipped quickly, and finally the cover.

——Zhao Zi's family training.

"Yes!"

Nian Ru, the head of the Department of Lovers, said: "Chang'an flew a report that the Zhao family in Lu County conspired to rebel. During the ancestor worship ceremony, they wanted to take down Yang Xuan, the governor of Northern Xinjiang, but they failed and were arrested."

Nian Xu covered his forehead, "That's Mrs. Zhao!"

"Yes." Nian Ru couldn't laugh by nature, and was regarded as ominous and a loner, but because of this, he gained Nian Xu's attention and took charge of the lover department.

"The Zhao family rebelled, and the ceremony was broken."

Nian Xu was heartbroken.

"Your Majesty, Chang'an had a war of words with Beijiang, and Beijiang won a big victory." Nian Ru said.

"I didn't think of some verbal fight." Nian Xu said: "The fact that the saint's family rebelled is a sign of the limelight and a sign. The Tang Dynasty is going to be chaotic."

Nian Ru nodded, "Chang'an calls Yang Xuan a traitor, and Yang Xuan in Northern Xinjiang blatantly claims that Li Mi is a foolish ruler. On the southern border, Shi Zhongtang may have bad intentions."

"Let the chief executives come." Nian Xu got up and stepped on the Zhao Zi's family instruction.

In the past, Nian Xu would be furious if anyone dared to step on the sage's book, but today he walked out without hesitation after stepping on it himself.

The wind blew, the cover of the book was blown, the first page was trembling, and it was written...

——Heaven and Earth ethics.

……

"Zhao Zi rebelled?"

"The old man Zhao Zita passed away for more than a thousand years, it was the Zhao family who conspired against him!"

The ministers were also stunned by the news.

After a long time, Han Bi suddenly slapped his forehead, "The Tang Dynasty is going to be in chaos."

After Sun Shiyin retired, Han Bi became the only surviving boss of the New Deal, struggling to support the court.

It is rare for Peng Jing to agree with him. "The descendants of the saints have all rebelled, which shows that the internal contradictions of the Tang Dynasty are hard to return. The northern border is huge and covetous. The southern border Shizhong Tang is a foreign race, and the foreign people do not know loyalty. I see that sooner or later they will stand on their own."

Nian Xu nodded, "That's what I'm worried about. There is an incompatibility between the northern border and Chang'an, and I think sooner or later there will be a big fight. Once the two sides fight, Shi Zhongtang will sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight..."

Han Bi said: "He will follow the trend to expand."

"The most affluent place in the surrounding area is my Great Zhou!" Peng Jing looked ugly, "The civil strife in the Tang Dynasty is going to affect my Great Zhou!"

Fang Chong said: "Your Majesty, you should send troops to defend."

Nian Xu shook his head, "Sending troops at this moment is to give Shi Zhongtang an excuse."

"If you don't understand, don't pretend to understand!" Han Bi looked at Fang Chong and said with a sneer, "Even if Shi Zhongtang wanted to do something, it would have to be at a time when Chang'an and Beijiang were at war. Either the Chang'an army went north, or the North Jiang Dajun goes south. Apart from this, if he dares to attack our Da Zhou aggressively, it will be treason!"

Fang Chong sneered, "So what about rebellion? Now Yang Xuan in northern Xinjiang is almost self-reliant, no, he is self-reliant. Southern Xinjiang follows suit, and Chang'an dares to suppress it? Li Mi has no such ability!"

After he finished speaking, he suddenly found that everyone was in a daze.

Nian Xu said quietly: "Yes! It seems that Li Mi has become an empty shelf!"

Han Bi said: "The Jiedushi system is absurd! To rule one side with ministers, in charge of civil affairs and military affairs. Taxes are collected for one's own use. Isn't this self-reliance?"

"The annexation of land in the Tang Dynasty became more and more intense after Li Yuan ascended the throne. With less land, the military system of the government was corrupted. Once the military system of the government was broken, the military system could only be recruited. What did Li Bi say at that time..."

Peng Jing thought for a while, "The taxes from the frontier have to go to Chang'an, and they have to be sent from Chang'an to the frontier. The round trip is costly and troublesome. So he ordered the Jiedushi to use it for his own use. As a result, the Jiedushi became the uncrowned king. The chaos of the Tang Dynasty began with land annexation and Li Bi's indulgence of the frontier."

"This is also Da Zhou's opportunity!" Han Bi's eyes sparkled, "Once Chang'an and Beijiang fight, Your Majesty, I suggest that Da Zhou should show weakness."

"Oh!" Nian Xu smiled, "Han Qing just talk."

Seeing the emperor's kindness to Han Bi, Fang Chong's eyes flashed with gloom.

After Sun Shi resigned from office due to the death of his son, the conservative faction took over the court, but the reformist faction left a Han Bi to scare them off.

Others are just fine, Han Bi's fighting power is unusually strong, often one-to-three can not lose the wind, and he can even counterattack.

This kind of spray power is beyond human reach, so Peng Jing and others hinted many times, and even found Han Bi's excuse to impeach him, but Nian Xu always defended it.

Han Bi said: "Shi Zhongtang is a foreigner, and he has no loyalty to Datang..."

Fang Chong sneered, "Shi Zhongtang is the adoptive son of the Liang family, and he was baptized for the third time in Chang'an Palace. Regardless of shame or not, this is a very cordial relationship."

"A foreign race is a foreign race. Within three generations, even if you dig out your heart and soul, they still regard you as an enemy in your bones." Han Bi said disdainfully: "I have led the army for many years, and I understand the thoughts of this generation. , dare to argue with Han about this matter?"

Fang Chong was furious, and Nian Xu coughed dryly when he saw this, "Tell me something."

Peng Jing looked on coldly, knowing that the emperor was still pulling sideways.

Although Han Bi was very powerful, he could not support himself in the end. Without the emperor's support, he would have been kicked out of the court long ago.

Han Bi said: "Once the chaos breaks out, Shi Zhongtang will definitely have a different mind. In this way, Da Zhou should show weakness, not just weakness, I think, but also let Shi Zhongtang rest assured."

"How?" Nian Xu asked.

"Sell ironware to Nanjiang!" Han Bi said.

"Ridiculous!" Peng Jing shouted, "That's an enemy!"

Peng Jing said: "Who can guarantee that Shi Zhongtang will not use these weapons made of iron for our Great Zhou?"

"I can't guarantee it, but I know that this is the only chance for the Great Zhou!" Han Bi remained calm with one enemy and two, "Once there is civil strife in the Tang Dynasty, the only ones who can change the dynasty are the northern and southern borders.

Northern Xinjiang is restrained by the Northern Liao Dynasty, and Chang'an forces suppress it, which is difficult.

Shi Zhongtang in southern Xinjiang is a foreign race, so it is difficult to obtain the support of aristocratic families and local tyrants.

So, it's going to be a dogfight.Just think about the scuffle in the Central Plains after the fall of the Chen Kingdom. After the scuffle, the outstanding Tang Dynasty ran rampant in the world with those powerful troops.

This time the civil strife in the Tang Dynasty, the old man thought it would still be like this.The only chance for Great Zhou is to seize the southern border before deciding the outcome.With southern Xinjiang in hand, the internal government is cultivating virtue, and the army is waiting for the day, watching the situation in the Central Plains, waiting for the opportunity to move..."

Nian Xu's eyes became brighter, "Han Qing means that Da Zhou should take advantage of the chaos?"

"Yes!" Han Bi said: "Instigate Shi Zhongtang to cause rebellion, instigate him to lead the army directly to Chang'an, leaving an empty southern border, which is within easy reach!"

"This idea..." Nian Xu was moved.

"Your Majesty, once you are noticed, it will be a situation where the army will overwhelm the border in an instant!" Peng Jing glanced at Han Bi, "Shi Zhongtang has always been eyeing my Great Zhou, and his subordinates even roared to seize Bianjing. I thought , the plan for now is immovable like a mountain!"

Fang Chong said: "Sir, second!"

"Minister, second!"

"Sir, seconded!"

The courtiers came out of the class one by one, holding wat boards in their hands, with awe-inspiring justice.

Han Bi was furious, "This is a state matter, you wait for one or the other, what about your face?"

No one spoke.

Nian Xu waved his hand feebly, "Let's go!"

Back in the harem, Xie Yingong asked someone to bring tea and served him personally, "Why does Your Majesty fight with those courtiers? Just relax, no matter what they have to respect you!"

Nian Xu said angrily: "Han Bi's plan is not dangerous. If it comes to fruition, Da Zhou may not be able to rule the world. I hate that Peng Jing and others are either one or the other. When I look at those ministers, I can't help it!"

Xie Yingong dared not take up this topic.

Nian Xu said quietly: "If the ancestors saw me like this today, I don't know if they would regret what they said to share the world with the scholar-bureaucrats."

Xie Yingong looked around and said softly: "Your Majesty, be careful with your words."

When these words spread, those important ministers will be divorced.

Once the important officials are renounced, the best way for the emperor is to abdicate and become the Supreme Emperor.

Otherwise, there will be a cloudy wind blowing up in the court, and it may even sweep up the mountains and rivers.

"By the way." Nian Xu changed the subject, "Is it time for the envoy to Chang'an to arrive?"

"His Majesty ordered them to arrive as soon as possible. According to the schedule, they should arrive."

Nian Xu said: "I haven't seen Ziyue for a long time, and I really think about it very much."

"Princess misses Your Majesty as well." Xie Yingong couldn't help laughing when he thought of Princess Nanyang.

The atmosphere gradually warmed up, and Nian Xu suddenly covered his forehead, "My headache is about to split."

The emperor fell ill.

The doctor said it was a headache and very difficult to cure.

"Hurry up and pick up Nanyang!"

The foreheads of emperors and confinement women are covered with veils.

"Yes!"

……

"Nian Xu fell ill."

The news quickly reached Shi Zhongtang's ears.

"He vaguely revealed that he wanted to recall Sun Shi again, which aroused dissatisfaction with Peng Jing and others."

He Zun said: "Nan Zhou seems to be in chaos for a while."

Shi Zhongtang said: "It's better if it's in chaos."

"Yes! It would be better if the whole world is in chaos."

Shi Zhongtang said: "Let them make trouble."

"Yes!"

Following this order, the Southern Border Army crossed the border, continuously raided the villages of Nanzhou Village, and even went to the border city to show off their might.

At the head of the city of Jusong County, the county magistrate Yang Lue looked at the hundreds of cavalry from southern Xinjiang who were showing off their might, and asked in confusion: "What is Shi Zhongtang doing?"

He Cong said: "Is this to attack the Southern Zhou Dynasty?"

Yang Lue thought for a while, then shook his head, "If you want to attack the Southern Zhou Dynasty, you should take it by surprise and catch it unprepared, instead of flaunting your power. This is more like a... gesture."

But who is Shi Zhongtang doing this gesture for?
Yang slightly couldn't think of it.

Hundreds of cavalry rushed to the city to yell and curse, starting from Nian's ancestors and continuing to Nianxu's family.

"It's so fucking outrageous." Yang Lue's face turned livid.

"It's too much." He Cong held back a smile.

After the cavalry left, Yang Lue ordered people to report to Bianjing, asking for money and food by the way, but not for reinforcements.

"Mingfu, call for reinforcements!"

Someone is puzzled.

Yang Lue said solemnly: "It's not easy, Your Majesty!"

Yang Mingfu is loyal!
Good things about Yang Mingfu started to spread down there, but Yang Mingfu was thinking about the northern border.

"The Zhao family in northern Xinjiang conspired against each other, and they were so insane that they dared to plot against the Duke!"

Yang Lue looked at the news and burst into anger, "Put to death!"

He Cong said, "It's good that the Duke is safe."

"The Duke took down the Zhao family and made the local people responsible for offering sacrifices to Zhao Zi." Yang Lue said, "The Zhao family has been gone for thousands of years. But what the old man is thinking about is... Zhao family, why did you rebel?"

He Cong said: "Rebellious ministers and thieves, this is full of ambition."

"Why is he so ambitious?"

"..."

Everyone was startled.

Yang Lue said: "The emperor is so stupid that he treats the country as a plaything. Powerful ministers are in power, and traitors are rampant. The people are miserable, and the refugees are everywhere. The government soldiers are corrupt, the branches are strong and the stems are weak..."

He Cong said, "Is this a sense of opportunity?"

"I dare say, it's not just that Mrs. Zhao sensed an opportunity, it's just that Mrs. Zhao was the first to act." Yang Lue said, "This country is in turmoil!"

……

The rebellion of the Zhao family in Lu County was wiped out by Qin Guogong's backhand, which seemed inconspicuous.

The news spread all over the world, and the undercurrent surged.

"The country is in turmoil, but he is in the palace listening to what the courtiers below are talking about to make a prosperous life."

On the top of Yanshan Mountain, the master of Jianyun Temple who had just left the customs, Miaosheng Daoist Changsheng, dressed in Taoist robes, glanced at the news.

Jian Yun, who had just returned from inspecting the farm, said: "The Zhao family rebelled, those literati who regard Zhao Zi as a god are very confused."

"The world is in chaos, this is the opportunity I've been waiting for!"

Chang Sheng said: "How about you go to inspect it?"

Jian Yun said: "Millions are being trained everywhere, and weapons are also being accumulated."

"Very good." Chang Sheng said: "The old man will enter the palace now to see how the emperor's body is. In addition, the medicine is ready, and the old man will bring some."

"Be careful!" Jian Yun said.

"Relax!" Chang Sheng said indifferently: "When I enter the palace, no one dares to search."

Someone from the palace the day before yesterday said that the emperor had summoned him, and that Chang Sheng would enter the palace as soon as he left the customs today, which shows his loyalty!

At the same time that Master Miaosheng went down the mountain with the medicine, envoys from the Southern Zhou Dynasty also entered Chang'an City.

"We have brought new protons!"

Nian Ziyue looked at the new proton and asked, "Father, what does this mean?"

The envoy looked at this woman who had been to Chang'an for many years with deep emotion, "Your Majesty ordered me to come to Chang'an, pick up the princess, and go home!"
