I became an exiled convict after we got married

Chapter 76
The royal family of the descendant family, which was once prosperous and prosperous in the past, was murdered.

When Beijing was shrouded in silence, King Guangling faked his death, Princess Guangling and his son fled back to the south of the Yangtze River, and the news that the Guangling Palace wanted to rebel finally spread in Beijing.

After Princess Kangning returned to Guangling Palace, she almost had another miscarriage due to the unstable fetal image, so she had to stay in bed to recuperate.Princess Guangling and Xiao Zheng fell ill due to spirit guarding, and she couldn't even see anyone when she was lying in bed, so she ordered people to enter the palace to report to the emperor and queen mother in a panic.

The emperor was unwell but insisted on returning to Beijing, just to deal with the Wang family and vent his anger.

After dealing with the relevant matters, he was vented in one breath, and he was in a coma for a day and a night, and even the grand court meeting was cancelled.

The affairs of the Guangling Palace were handled by the Queen Mother herself.

Just when the Queen Mother issued the order to seal off the checkpoints, the urgent military report from eight hundred miles came.

The king of Guangling rebelled with the governor of Youzhou. The banner was that the emperor had no virtue, was mean and ungrateful, and killed him violently. Righteousness, ruthless to the two empresses, turning a blind eye to the drought and locust plagues in Qingzhou, he is not a wise king, and should be crusaded by the people of the world.

This time King Guangling came aggressively, and to the astonishment of all the officials, Qingzhou also reversed.

No one in Kyoto has ever heard of the drought and locust plague in Qingzhou.

When Emperor Jian'an woke up again, he was faced with such a messy situation. Hearing that King Guangling had faked his death, he had seen through the trick he had set up. Emperor Jian'an, who had just woken up, was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted again. past.

Emperor Jian'an was not yet in his fifties, he was in the middle of his prime, and he usually looked healthy, but this time he fell ill suddenly, and his whole body's energy suddenly languished.

The rebellion of King Guangling was fierce, and Xiao Feng, who had almost died in Qingzhou, returned to Beijing.

Wan Jinlan didn't know the situation in Qingzhou until the next day when her grandfather called her to the study to meet the secret guards sent to Yangzhou.

Qingzhou had a bad year last year, and the harvest was not good. This summer, there were droughts and locust plagues. The grain harvest was bleak to the naked eye. But for some reason, the news of the local drought and locust plagues did not reach Kyoto.

King Qi still saw the refugees who escaped from Qingzhou, Xuzhou and other places when he was monitoring the saltworks in Lianghuai, all of them were yellow and thin, like frightened birds.

After Xiao Feng's investigation, he found out that the governor of Qingzhou was in the critical period of promotion assessment, and he wanted to conceal the local people's livelihood. The loan sharks force people to borrow money and then sell themselves as slaves. The servants in the family of the governor of Qingzhou have reached [-] people.

Wan Jinlan was dumbfounded after hearing this, it was simply shocking.

"Isn't the governor of Qingzhou stupid? How can paper cover the fire? Even if he succeeds in hiding the truth and gets promoted, the new governor will also find out the truth in the past. He will still be punished, right?"

The problems that Wan Jinlan could think of, the Lord Zhen Guo and the old man could naturally think of them too.

"In my opinion, he first concealed the disaster, not for the purpose of assessing his promotion." The old man said solemnly, "He should have been the king of Guangling early in the morning. Not only that, but he would also inform the people that he had already appealed to the court for help. But he ignored the people of Qingzhou and let them fend for themselves."

The dark guard admired him, "What the old man said is that His Royal Highness Qi Wang made an in-depth investigation and found that the facts are exactly what you said. When the subordinates left His Royal Highness Qi, the price of food in Qingzhou had risen to ten times what it used to be. It is very difficult for the people of Qingzhou to escape from Qingzhou and go south. There are soldiers guarding the cities at each pass. If they go north to Youzhou, there is no obstacle. Youzhou will properly resettle the victims. The governor of Youzhou said that the emperor abandoned the people of Qingzhou , I despise them as a burden that only consumes food, but King Guangling does not, and King Guangling will make decisions for them, allowing them to live a stable and prosperous life."

In frontier places like Youzhou, the folk customs are inherently strong, and they are far away from the capital. The awe of the imperial court is far less than that of the states and counties in the center of the Great Wei Dynasty. The people of Qingzhou were affected by the disaster and oppressed, but the imperial court ignored them. Know their grievances.

After the old man finished understanding the matter, he asked Wan Jinlan, "What do you think of the governor of Qingzhou?"

After thinking for a moment, Wan Jinlan said: "My granddaughter's guess is a little different from my grandfather's. The governor of Qingzhou may not have belonged to King Guangling at the beginning, but he couldn't hold it anymore, or he was caught by the people of King Guangling. So he wantonly amassed money in Qingzhou and surrendered to King Guangling with filial piety. In a short time, King Guangling will die in order to calm the anger of the people in Qingzhou and the people in the world."

Duke Zhen and the old man smiled after hearing this.

Wan Jinlan blushed a little, she didn't know where she made a mistake to make people laugh, she obviously thought what she said was reasonable.

"If you are the king of Guangling, the governor of Qingzhou made a mistake." The old man smoothed his beard with a smile on his face.

"What's wrong? What's wrong with gaining the reputation of loving the people like a son for the people's eyes? King Guangling can still take the opportunity to take Qingzhou under his command and become the real master of Qingzhou." Wan Jinlan was really puzzled.

The Duke of Zhenguo said softly, "If the King of Guangling killed the governor of Qingzhou, wouldn't he clearly tell the people of Qingzhou that it was a lie for Wei to abandon them, and that the governor of Qingzhou slandered the royal family and killed them like that in order to make money? And King Guangling's Reputation will also be questioned. Furthermore, if the people who served him ended up like this, what would the rest of King Guangling think? People's hearts are fluctuating, which is not good for the army."

Wan Jinlan was startled, "But the governor of Qingzhou..."

She paused at this point, she was a bystander, maybe she thought she saw the so-called truth of the Qingzhou incident clearly, but the people in the situation were indeed the ones who were tricked by the governor of Qingzhou into applauding.Those who stopped them from going south were the officers and soldiers of the imperial court. They went north to Youzhou, and they were accepted. The governor of Youzhou also kept saying that the imperial court abandoned them as burdens.

For giving food to the people who are on the verge of desperation, will the people who don't know the truth feel grateful and believe what they think is the truth?

Seeing her expression change, the old man said lovingly: "Okay, don't think about it anymore, we don't know the whole picture, so it's useless to talk about it."

"Is there any news about Uncle Yongchang's mansion?"

The secret guard didn't dare to hide anything, and said bluntly: "Go back to the lord, everyone in Yongchang Bo's mansion was sent to Youzhou by the Guangling King by water."

The old man sighed, "In a few days, you can submit the indictment again."

Lord Zhen Guo agreed.

It's inappropriate to file a criminal complaint now, and the court didn't react. They knew the news so early, didn't they collude with the rebels?

Wan Jinlan sighed, wondering how sad her mother would be.

After Wan Jinlan left, Lord Zhen looked at his elderly father, "Why did father call Jinlan to the study today and test her?"

The old man stroked his beard, "The situation is changing rapidly, and Jin Lan may have a bright future in the future."

Duke Zhen thought for a moment and said, "Father must have thought too much."

Even if His Majesty's health is not as good as before, King An is gone, King Duan is rejected by His Majesty, King Rui is gone, and the remaining princes are either sick or young, but there is still the eldest son of the emperor, King Shun. Not to King Qi who is the emperor's uncle.

Did my father think too much?

The old man stood up with a smile, "Don't think too much, let's go and see."

The old man remembered the order given to Jin Lan by the old abbot when he took his granddaughter to Huayan Temple.

Over the years, he had gradually forgotten it, but recently, the situation in Beijing changed suddenly, and he suddenly remembered it again.

Of course, no matter what the situation is, the stability of the government is the most important thing.
