Dajin royal family

Chapter 317 Sad at the end of the year
The last court meeting at the end of the year did not pass peacefully, because the battle report came from Qingzhou, You Xiaowei rushed in greedily and was defeated by the thieves, and the thieves now occupy Licheng.

At this point, the entire six counties of Qingzhou were declared to have fallen.

When the emperor finished the news, the ministers in the court were silent.

No one thought that the violent bandits, who had been ignored by them, defeated the imperial army twice, and now they even occupied the entire Qingzhou.

"Yu Aiqing, what do you think?" The emperor turned his gloomy gaze to Yu Shiji.

Yu Shiji trembled all over, slowly walked out of the queue, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I think you should send powerful generals to suppress the bandits, and you must not underestimate them."

The emperor was upset, didn't he know this, he wanted to know if there was an easier way to solve it.

Now that he was ready to attack the nobles in Guanzhong, he was naturally unwilling to use his troops.

"Any recommendation?" asked the emperor.

Yu Shiji said: "The minister recommends the king of Wudu to lead the army to quell the chaos."

Jiang Chengxiao squinted his eyes, he guessed that the emperor would definitely not agree.

But this time the emperor did not immediately dismiss it, but asked other people for their opinions.

Most of the courtiers naturally agreed with Yu Shiji, but Wang Hong, the servant of the household department, expressed a different opinion.

"Your Majesty once said that you can't kill a chicken with a sledgehammer. Is the little banditry in Qingzhou worth the King of Wudu's hand?"

Pei Ju's eyelids moved, and he also stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, what the Lord Wang said is not unreasonable. Qingzhou's defeat was due to the carelessness of Jiang Wei and Xue Yuxiong, not the bravery of the bandits. Previously, Zhang Suguo, the governor of Qi County, had several times Defeating the bandit army shows that this person has the talent to lead the army, His Majesty can order him to suppress the bandits."

Wang Hong and Pei Ju successively stood up against Jiang Chengxiao's leadership, which the emperor did not expect.

"Qingque, what's your opinion?" The emperor asked Jiang Chengxiao.

Jiang Chengxiao walked out of the queue with a calm expression, cupped his hands and said: "Wherever your majesty points, the minister will hit."

The straightforward and rude words made the emperor smile.

"What Wang Aiqing and Pei Aiqing said made sense. Pass the decree and seal Zhang Suguo as Qingzhou recruitment envoy, and ask him to quell the banditry in Qingzhou!"

After making the decree, the emperor paid special attention to Jiang Chengxiao's expression, and found that his expression was still calm, so he couldn't help but nodded secretly.

Qingzhou suffered a disastrous defeat, this time the emperor did not underestimate the bandits, and started to get serious.

After the court meeting was over, Pei Ju specifically called out to Jiang Chengxiao, and the two walked down the majestic palace platform side by side.

"Does Qing Que have doubts?" Pei Ju observed him calmly.

Jiang Chengxiao shook his head, "Pei Gong and the prince have their own ideas when they do things, and I certainly believe it. Besides, my grandfather also told me about these things, so you don't have to take it to heart."

"That's good, that's it, the old man can rest assured." Pei Ju chuckled.

After the court meeting ended, Duguzhen immediately knew the emperor's attitude towards Qingzhou.

"His focus is still on our side." Dugu sighed helplessly.

The emperor was too wary of them. Even if the six counties of Qingzhou fell, he did not say that he would immediately suppress the bandits.

Dou Wei nodded solemnly, and said, "What can we do? The emperor has not moved. Yu Wenshu has also gone to Chang'an now, and the time left for us is getting less and less."

Dugu Zheng said: "It seems that we can't just sit and wait for death, we have to get something out."

"Brother Dugu, what do you mean by that?"

"What do you think about the Wei family?" Dugu asked.

"Wei family?" Dou Wei was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "Brother Dugu means to let the Yu family take action first, so as to weaken the vigilance of the emperor."

"Not only that, I have already sent people to Tupan to spread the news that the emperor killed Prime Minister Tupan."

"This is a good plan, but what if the Wei family disagrees?" Dou Wei worried.

After all, Wei Hong is not a fool, so he can't fail to see such an obvious frame.

Duguzheng said: "We have no choice, and he has no choice either. We are in a relationship where we are both prosperous and we are both prosperous. He will not refuse."

Dou Wei nodded, "Okay, let's do this, I will speed up Li Yuan as soon as possible."

"Not only that, you have to put pressure on Master Hengyang, he can't live for too long." Dugu's eyes turned cold.

"I understand, don't worry."

Yuhang County, Qiantang County.

Chen Qiujin met Sima Fa who had been tracked down by the inner guard for many days.

"Chairman, I almost lost sight of you." Sima Fa was crying with tears all over his face. If he didn't have the loyal guards around him to protect him along the way, he really wouldn't be able to come back.

"Mr. has been wronged, please get up quickly."

Chen Qiujin is a middle-aged man in his forties, with broad shoulders and a loyal appearance.

"Sir, I already know everything. This matter has nothing to do with Xiao Tong." Chen Qiujin said fiercely.

Sima Fa said: "Chairman, what should we do now, the imperial court already knows about us, if things go on like this, we will be discovered by the imperial court."

Chen Qiujin comforted: "Sir, you don't have to worry. I've already taken care of this matter. Don't worry, sir."

After the words fell, Chen Qiujin turned to his followers and said, "Come on, Mr. Waiter, go down and rest."

As Sima Fa was taken away, Chen Qiujin's face gradually darkened.

"My lord, a lot of strange faces have come to the pier recently. The county magistrate of Qiantang County detained our two boats to inspect the goods. I'm afraid the visitors are not friendly." Shen Xing said.

Chen Qiujin nodded, "If my prediction is correct, it should be the emperor's eagle dog that came here."

"The son of the magistrate of Qiantang might be able to study under Mr. Zhao," Shen Xing reminded.

The corner of Chen Qiujin's mouth twitched, "I will leave this matter to you."

The magistrate of Qiantang County is named Zhang Chang. Recently, he suddenly received a secret order from the emperor, asking him to cooperate with the internal guards to investigate the rebels in Yuhang County.

This made Zhang Chang both happy and a little scared.

The happy thing is that if you do well this time, you may be appreciated by the emperor and be promoted.The fear is that these traitors are hiding in Yuhang County, whether the court will think that he has the crime of not being investigated.

Just returned to the mansion today, Zhang Chang didn't see his youngest son, he felt a little strange, the youngest son would definitely come to greet him at this time in the past.

"Where's your son?"

"Back to the master, the young master has not returned from Mr. Zhao's residence." The attendant replied.

Zhang Chang suddenly became angry, "Nonsense, I have come back at this time in the past, even if I didn't come back, the book boy has to come back and deliver a letter to tell the old man."

While following Wei Nuo Nuo, suddenly the concierge trotted over and delivered a letter in his hand.

"Master, someone asked the villain to hand this to you just now, saying that you will understand after reading the letter."

Zhang Chang frowned, took the letter and opened it, but the contents inside made him sweat profusely.

After reading it, he quickly put away the letter and asked the concierge, "What else did that man say?"

The concierge thought for a while and said, "The man said, tomorrow is at this time."

Zhang Chang nodded, and immediately asked the two of them not to go out and talk nonsense.

That night, the magistrate of Qiantang County seized several large ships belonging to Nanchenhui and left smoothly.

On a big boat, Chen Qiujin stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the dark pier, wondering what he was thinking.

"My lord, let's go next." Shen Xing stood behind Chen Qiujin.

"Huaiji!" Chen Qiujin's mouth twitched, "The situation is rising, how could I be missing."

Yuzhang County, Yuzhang County.

With his hands behind his back, Xiao Tong looked up at the setting sun.

"Master, everything is ready." Cen Zhenben cupped his hands and said.

Xiao Tong nodded, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Mr. Cen, do you know that I already feel that the sun is about to set."

"A new sun will rise again." Cen Zhenben looked at Xiao Tong confidently.

"You are right, a new sun will rise again."

Xiao Tong closed his eyes slightly, his face was still blown by the breeze, at this moment he looked very energetic.

Anle County, Miyun City.

"Brother, Lie Tai of the Xi Clan promised to lend us manpower and horses." The bearded man said to Lu Mingyue.

"How much does Lie Tai give?" Lu Mingyue gnawed on the chicken leg and asked.

"5000 people, [-] horses."

"You're really stingy." Lu Mingyue snarled, and stood up, "But it's enough, with these, it's enough for me to make a comeback."

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Does Lie Tai have any requests?"

Lu Hu thought for a while, and said: "He said that we are not allowed to make plans for the three counties outside the Guan, that is his territory. And let us not stop the refugees from fleeing to the three counties outside the Guan."

"That's it?"

Lu Mingyue waved his hand, "I promise him."

The three counties outside the Guan were so poor that they wouldn't even go if they asked him to.
