The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Shuzi

Chapter 24 In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Orders to Counter Rebellion (Please collect recommended tickets)
"Lou Daliang, the commander-in-chief of the Daming Mansion, sent an urgent report from [-] miles away. In the territory of Daming Mansion, there are unruly people gathering to rebel!"

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Emperor Hongde's voice did not fluctuate, and he looked at the solemn and silent civil and military officials below with no expression on his face, and he could not see the thunder and anger just now.

Hearing Emperor Hongde's words, all the ministers had expressions of disbelief on their faces, and the entire Hall of Supreme Harmony suddenly became like a vegetable market with a bang.

Looking at those dignitaries and civil servants who had already learned the news and had already expected it in their hearts, they all looked the same as those around them. Jia Jing stood behind, only feeling numb in his heart.

This acting with rich voice and emotion, and natural and simple expression, in later generations, it would be unjustifiable not to give a grand slam to an actor!
On the high platform, Emperor Hongde looked at the noisy Hall of Supreme Harmony below, his complexion became more and more ugly.

"Cough cough!"

Seeing this, Qiu Shi'an, the prime minister's eunuch next to him, hurriedly coughed twice.

The more and more excited people below looked up and saw that Emperor Hongde's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, they hurriedly stopped their voices, and each stood holding their breath, staring at the square bricks they added, as if admiring a masterpiece.

From the vegetable market to the morgue, it's just one or two breaths.

Yang Xiuchen, the chief assistant of the cabinet, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Beizhili is under the foot of the emperor. Those unscrupulous people don't want to be loyal to the emperor and the country, and dare to gather people to rebel. They are really people without a king and father. I ask your majesty to send an army." , with the power of thunder, wipe out the rebels!"

"boom!"

Another teacup followed in the footsteps of its predecessors, and was thrown heavily at Yang Xiuchen's feet by Emperor Hongde.

The honorable civil servants in the hall were all taken aback. Yang Xiuchen, as the minister of Emperor Hongde, was promoted by himself as the leader of the civil servants. On weekdays, he was very favored by Emperor Hongde. Protecting everywhere, reluctant to say a serious word, I don't know how many people are secretly jealous, but now they are directly thrown into the glass...

I'm afraid something really big has happened!
Such a thought suddenly flashed in the minds of the civil and military officials present.

"Your Majesty, I'm terrified!"

As the person involved, Yang Xiuchen immediately knelt down heavily after being taken aback, bowing his head and pleading guilty.

"You should be terrified!"

Seeing Yang Xiuchen knelt down, Emperor Hongde didn't let him get up like before, but cursed even more angrily: "You are the chief of the civil service appointed by me, the chief assistant of the cabinet, I have high hopes for you, but you How did you repay me? How did the gang of officials repay me?"

Listening to Emperor Hongde's reprimand on the high platform, Yang Xiuchen's heart trembled.Not only did the tricks of begging for mercy in the past not work, but it attracted more intense reprimands. This is not a good sign.

"I supported them and pulled them out of the mud, but what about them? I personally sent my people to the road of rebellion. Is this how they repay me?"

"The Ma Zheng appointed by the Taizu has been handed down by the dog officials below. The tax amount has been getting heavier every year. It has only been a few years? It has been turned over! I dare not even think about it. Those sons of mine How should the people scold me in their hearts!"

"It's only been a few years? Have everyone forgotten their last name?!"

Emperor Hongde's series of reprimands reduced the air pressure in the Hall of Supreme Harmony to the lowest level. Since he ascended the throne, the officials have never seen Emperor Hongde get so angry.

During his reign, the people under his nose were able to gather a crowd to rebel, which was the first of its kind in the Great Zhou Dynasty. It must be recorded in the annals of history by the official historian and nailed to the pillar of shame for future generations to laugh at.

Every time he thought of this, Emperor Hongde's anger rose involuntarily.

After a long time, Hongde Emperor Yang Chong stopped his scolding, took a deep breath, and calmed down his mood, "Let's all take a look, look at what good things our loyal and good courtiers have done. !"

A somewhat distorted memorial was thrown by Emperor Hongde on the floor of the main hall. Yang Xiuchen, the chief minister of the cabinet, hurried forward and picked up the memorial. air conditioner.

The situation is far worse than imagined.

Under the leadership of the prefect Mei Wenxian, the Daming Mansion once raised the tax on horses to twice the standard set by the Taizu, plus the loss of horses reported by the farmers, and the eliminated horses, etc...

The whole of Northern Zhili, under the compulsory apportionment of horse raising tasks by the imperial court, was complained by the extra tax paid by the inaugural officials, and turned against Yingtian.

Now it is because they can't survive that they are revolting!

What made it even more difficult for Yang Xiuchen to accept was that Mei Wenxian was recommended by himself!
"Just yesterday, the Daming Mansion was rebelled by rebels. In less than three hours, the Daming Mansion fell. Thousands of rebels looted the Daming Mansion and left.

Let all the nobles discuss this matter! "

Seeing that the ministers were passing on the memorabilia too slowly, on the high platform, Emperor Hongde directly announced the content of the memorandum to the civil and military ministers who were still waiting in line.

"what?"

"The Daming Mansion fell?"

"..."

In the confusion, Zhenguo Bull Niu Jizong immediately stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the top priority now is that the imperial court must immediately order the soldiers of all the prefectures in Beizhili to be on alert to prevent rebels from invading; , Destroy the rebels!"

"Zhen Guo Gong's words are reasonable," Emperor Hongde nodded, satisfied that the honorable generals did not continue to choose to entangle with the civil servants when they faced things.

Otherwise, if he continued to quarrel with the prefect of the daimyo or the mistake of recommending the paper figurine at the beginning, it would be really difficult for Emperor Hongde to say anything for a while.This group of nobles seems to be somewhat modest!

"Then according to the official statement of the town, how should the troops be dispatched and how should the rebels be eliminated?"

Hearing this, Niu Jizong immediately played loudly: "Your Majesty, I recommend Jia Jing to lead troops to suppress the rebellion!"

"Jia Jing?" Emperor Hongde pondered in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, Jia Jing has been in Liaodong for three years. He has gone through countless battles, big and small, without defeat. He is the best candidate to lead the army to suppress the rebellion!" Seeing Emperor Hongde hesitated, Niu Jizong continued.

Zhong Shoucai, Minister of the Ministry of War, immediately stood up and retorted loudly: "Your Majesty, what Lord Zhen Guo said is wrong! Jia Jing is a doctor of the Yu Heng Division of the Ministry of Industry, and a civil servant. How can he command the army to suppress the rebellion? According to Zhou Zu system……"

Just as Zhong Shou was talking, there was a sudden shout from the door: "The Supreme Emperor has a decree..."

There was a sound of footsteps at the door, and as the two doors of the Hall of Supreme Harmony were pushed open by the guards on duty, a tall figure with gray hair walked in. It was Dai Quan, the eunuch in charge of the Dragon Head Palace.

Seeing this person, Hongde Emperor Yang Chong's eyes moved, but his expression remained calm.

"The Supreme Emperor has a decree: Jia Jing, a doctor of Siyou's Ministry of Industry, once served as a thousand households in the Zhenbei Army. He is brave and good at fighting, and he will conquer the enemy. He is specially appointed as a general to suppress the bandits, and leads the troops of the Zhenwei Battalion. He will immediately go to the Daming Mansion to suppress the rebellion. Make no mistake!"

In the crowd, when Jia Jing heard this, she stood up and came out, saluted and replied: "Minister Jia Jing, take the order!"

After finishing speaking, he got up and respectfully took the imperial edict soldier talisman from Dai Quan's hand.

"In addition, the Supreme Emperor has something to tell our family to bring to Yang Shoufu: the promotion of civil and military officials is not a child's play. If military generals can also do the work of civil servants, then why do we need so many civil servants?!"

In a word, Yang Xiuchen, who had just got up not long ago, knelt down again, stuck his head on the ground, and dared not speak.
