After transmigrating into the villain's daughter, I lie down and win

Chapter 804 The whole family is a rebel (88)

When rebellions broke out, the retired emperor summoned generals to lead the troops, but all the generals in the court found excuses to refuse. It was General Mo who stepped forward, dragging his old and sick body and taking his children and grandchildren to the battlefield.

In order to quell the rebellion, many of the men of the Mo family died or were disabled, and even General Mo himself lost an arm. Now the war is not over, and the old general is still fighting the rebels on the front line. However, the new emperor forced the only granddaughter of the Mo family to enter the palace to sleep with him. This will inevitably chill the hearts of all the soldiers who fought for the country.

Your Majesty, what you are doing is no different from destroying the Great Wall?

The ministers looked at each other, each one more confused than the other. They felt their heads buzzing and everything in front of them became dark, unable to see anything clearly.

Even the calm and collected Zhou Jin was stunned for a while after he understood Wang Wu's meaning.

After a long time, he finally spoke, but found that his voice was as dry and unpleasant as if he was hoarse. "Please tell His Majesty that I have important matters to see His Majesty."

Wang Wu was unmoved. He looked at him and said, "I wonder how big the important matter that Lord Zhou is talking about is? Lord Zhou, please don't misunderstand. It's not that I don't want to tell you. It's just that Your Majesty is in a good mood. Even I dare not disturb you casually."

Zhou Jin's face darkened and darkened, and he finally said, "It's about Xiao Ji. I got the news that Xiao Ji has led a large army to attack Chang'an."

After that, he looked at Wang Wu and said, "I wonder if this news will allow His Majesty to see me?"

Wang Wu nodded slightly, hiding the corners of his lips that were raised, "Whether to see him or not is up to His Majesty. I will go and ask His Majesty for instructions now."

As soon as Wang Wu left, the other ministers immediately surrounded Zhou Jin.

"Duke Zhou, if it is true..."

"Your Majesty, what should we do?"

"Your Majesty's behavior is becoming more and more absurd. If this continues, the country will no longer exist!"

"The fact that a commoner girl was forced into the palace had already aroused public indignation. If she was really General Mo's granddaughter, once the news got out, it would probably cause a mutiny in the army. By then, let alone the rebels, I'm afraid the Chang'an defenders..."

Needless to say, everyone present felt sad.

The only solution now is to block the news and try not to let it reach the army and the front line, even if doing so can only delay the situation for a few days at most and even if doing so may not help in the end.

Zhou Jin had been listening to the angry words of the crowd in silence, but in his mind he recalled several things that the servant had told him.

When the new emperor issued an edict ordering each family to send young women to the palace to sleep with him, some people thought that this was finally a good time for their family to change their fortunes, and they couldn't wait to send the most beautiful women in the family to the palace.

But some people had already seen through everything, but did not resist. While trying to please the emperor, they also collected helpless women from their families, adopted them as daughters, and allowed them to enter the palace to serve them.

There were also people who had no daughters at home, but they collected beautiful women from the people to be slaves, taught them etiquette and rules, and used them as bridges to communicate with the emperor, fantasizing that if one person succeeded, the whole family would benefit from it.

They talk about benevolence and righteousness all the time, and always talk about the country and the people. However, they never truly regard the people as human beings. Only when they can use them, will they have a noble look and order the people to give up their daughters and send them behind the high and deep palace walls as chess pieces.

Just like at this moment, they all shouted that His Majesty was absurd. His Majesty's actions would chill the hearts of the soldiers who fought bloody battles for the country, would cause mutiny in the army, and would aggravate the crisis facing Chang'an...

Of course, they were not really worried about the country, Chang'an, or the people. They were just afraid of change, afraid that all unknown dangers would destroy their family status, wealth and glory passed down from generation to generation.

Suddenly, everyone's voices stopped.

Zhou Jin moved his ears and heard the almost inaudible footsteps coming from outside. A hint of sarcasm flashed across his face.

Sure enough, it was Wang Wu.

"Sir Zhou, His Majesty has summoned you."

……

There is no wall that is impenetrable. Within two days, the affairs of "Madam Furong" spread throughout Chang'an City.

The emperor may or may not know about this, but he cares nothing about anything except pleasure and revenge. But someone cares.

"The old general is fighting outside, but Your Majesty is humiliating his only granddaughter. Why should we remain loyal to such an unjust king?"

"Well said, we should rebel against such a tyrant!"

"My father and brother are both retired veterans with disabilities, but now they have been conscripted to build a palace for His Majesty. My little niece is only thirteen years old, but she was captured and taken to the palace. Even her body has not been found yet... As a soldier, I should be loyal to my king and my country, but as a son and an uncle, how can I watch my family die in indifference?"

"My little sister is the same!"

"Who doesn't have a father and brother? Who doesn't have a daughter? The emperor is unjust and cruel to the people. Why should we be loyal to him and help him fight against the rebels?"

"Are kings, princes, generals and ministers of different species? Have you all forgotten?"

"Don't forget!"

"I just want revenge for my family!"

"revenge!
"Go to the palace and take revenge!"

Eventually, a mutiny broke out in the army.

However, their numbers were too small, and they were suppressed by the regular army before they could actually launch an attack. However, emotions of anger and hatred spread among the army like a plague.

The emperor is unjust!

They will enforce justice on the behalf of Heaven and punish the tyrant!

On the same night of the mutiny, a major event also occurred in the palace: the emperor was assassinated.

Just the day before, the emperor who had been seriously ill for a long time finally woke up and regained some of his consciousness. When he learned about all the great changes that had taken place in the palace and the various outrageous events after the new emperor ascended the throne, he was so angry that he vomited blood.

Strangely enough, after spitting out the blood, the emperor's health suddenly recovered. Not only could he get out of bed, but he could also walk outside on his own without anyone's help.

Ministers including Zhou Jin were summoned to the palace to meet the retired emperor.

After experiencing the absurdity and bloodshed during the New Emperor's reign, the ministers' tears flowed like rivers when they saw these two saviors again. The scene was even more disgusting than seeing their own mother.

But before they could cry and wail about their grievances and the important events in the court, the new emperor rushed in with his guards.

That day, Zhou Jin and other ministers and palace servants heard the quarrel between the retired emperor and the new emperor.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the retired emperor was having a last gasp and that it was a sign that his end was near. However, the new emperor did not think so and even sent people to imprison the retired emperor.

That night, the emperor was assassinated.

Under the protection of numerous guards and palace servants, the retired emperor was assassinated!
However, the new emperor even issued an edict, saying that someone from the north had been sent to assassinate the retired emperor, so he wanted to send a large army to the north to kill the rebels, capture Xiao Ji alive, and avenge the retired emperor.

Ministers: "..."

The North again?

Xiao Ji again?

All the bad things in the world are done by Xiao Ji?
How can I put it? The retired emperor and the new emperor are truly father and son. When it comes to framing others, they are masters at it.

But, poor General Xiao Ji.

When the king replaces his father, he will be the one to take the blame.
