Civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty, begging me to ascend the throne

Chapter 223 Rebellion
Unfortunately, by the time Jiang Yi received the letter from his sister who had traveled all the way, the court was already in dire straits, and the memorials were flying towards Chongguang Hall like a fountain.

Among the various memorials, there are governors from various places, relatives from the royal family, and even the old general Cheng who was stationed at the border, Jiang Yi's uncle, personally wrote the memorial, said hello, and also specifically asked about this in the memorial. thing.

This made Jiang Yi extremely angry. It turned out that the rumors had spread to the southern region. Maybe the southern barbarians would laugh at him, the newly appointed emperor of Great Xia!

The dignity of the court has been ruined because of the rumors of these busybodies!

Ha, Jiang Yi thought of the mocking letter sent by King Wen again.

Maybe his eldest brother has been secretly waiting for this day, right?

Jiang Yi sneered, his whole heart filled with resentment and hatred.

It turns out that when my father was still alive, he always favored King Wen in everything he did. This made the eldest brother so domineering and unable to see the current situation clearly.

Now he was really angry. He cut off his vassal status and demoted him to a commoner. King Wen could not do anything about him.

But this dark thought only took root in Jiang Yi's heart for a while, and was washed away by the tenderness and compassion in his heart.
Just because of the assassination of King Cheng, Jiang Yi had a straight face for more than ten days in a row, and he didn't have a good look on anyone.

Only when I saw my little princess who had just turned three months old did I feel a little tenderness and joy in my heart.

The name of the princess, Jing'an, reflects Jiang Yi's expectations for the country and her daughter.

And this Princess Jing'an is now Jiang Yi's only heir.

Princess Jing'an's biological mother was of low status, just the daughter of a seventh-grade guard, but she had a beautiful appearance and was quite popular with Jiang Yi.

Now that she has given birth to Princess Jing'an, she is even more noble than her daughter. She is canonized as Concubine Duan. In Jiang Yi's empty harem, her status is second only to the queen.

Now Jiang Yi is holding the letter from his distant sister in one hand and looking at Xiao Jing'an crawling around on the dragon chair. His heart, which was originally full of government and military affairs, is now filled with tenderness, and his mood is a little happier.

I wish I could hum a little song to make my daughter happy.

Jiang Yi hugged Jing An to the child, pinched her little face with a familiarity, and when the little daughter was about to cry, he put her on the dragon chair with a smile and watched her curiously climb on the throne. Crawling back and forth, the original crying stopped.

At this time, Chong'an walked respectfully from the door to Jiang Yi's side, his voice small and trembling uncontrollably.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, what's wrong... the British Duke has turned against you!"

Chong'an's voice was not loud, and he did not dare to publicize the affairs of the court here.

After all, there are many people around here, including the young princess and her wet nurse.

"what?"

When Jiang Yi heard the news, he almost couldn't hold the letter in his hand and fell down on his seat. The childlike Princess Jing'an wanted to climb on her father's body.

Jiang Yi waved his hand, and Princess Jing'an's wet nurse who was waiting on the side quickly picked up Princess Jing'an and hurriedly left the back hall.

Only then did Jiang Yi have the heart to listen to Chong'an's detailed account. He retreated from the attendants on his left and right, and then slowly spoke.

"What's going on? Are you saying that British Duke Zhang Ben intends to rebel?? Speak clearly..."

When Jiang Yi heard the news, he was confused and his whole body stiffened.

The British Duke Zhang Ben was older and was a distinguished nobleman who was very popular in front of the late emperor. His ability and loyalty were originally ranked high in Jiang Yi's heart.

Jiang Yi's first reaction was that he was a rebel.

But this fact is indeed not his turn to doubt, because Chongan's next words are the real shock.

"Yes...not only the British Duke but also...the Qingguo Duke Zhu Qi. It is said that the princes in the vassal area can't sit still..." "How could it be? The King of Han and the King of Qin both specially issued decrees to reward and appease... …”

Jiang Yi couldn't continue talking.

What else could his group of brothers be for, other than the cold dragon chair he sat on?

Just when Jiang Yi's whole body was as cold as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and he felt that he had been betrayed by everyone, Chong'an had not finished what he said.

"Your Majesty, then...the rebels have led their troops to approach Kyoto...and are now heading straight towards the palace..."

As he spoke, Chong'an trembled all over, and fell to his knees with sorrow in his eyes. His whole body lay on the ground like a puddle of mud, trembling. Now Chong'an really understands what the unpredictable power of a king means. It’s called God’s will and cannot be speculated on.

Who would have known that His Highness would have such turmoil less than a year after he ascended the throne?

Although Jiang Yi was also very panicked, his eyes looked at Chong'an with confusion, but also with a bit of sharpness.

"What are you afraid of? With General Li here, the rebels will never be able to enter Kyoto!"

Jiang Yi clenched his fists with both hands and cheered himself up. He finally felt a little energetic.

"Can……"

Chong'an subconsciously answered, but immediately fell silent, not daring to say anything more.

"But what?"

Jiang Yi looked at him coldly, his eyes as cold as frost-covered iron, full of pressure and force that made the person unable to breathe.

Chong'an rested his head on the ground, trembling, and did not dare to say anything.

Jiang Yi kicked him with [-]% of the force, but it was enough to make Chongan tremble.

"But... this servant is short-sighted. Please forgive me for asking Your Majesty..."

Chong'an hesitated and said.

"I don't blame you, please tell me quickly..."

Jiang Yi responded impatiently. He couldn't wait to hear the plot of those rebellious ministers and traitors, and even wanted to know whether King Wen had a hand in it.

"I heard that those rebels came under the name of Qingjun..."

"Qing Jun's side?" Jiang Yi turned his eyes and seemed to realize something.

Here, Chong'an continued speaking tremblingly, "Yes, they said... they said they wanted to kill Mr. Li to protect the Qingming of the country and your majesty..."

Jiang Yi understood, and at that moment he understood everything. These were the plans and concerns of those people.

But he couldn't help but confirm: "Which Mr. Li is it?"

Chong'an glanced at His Majesty, who was all aloof, like a furtive glance, and his voice became even softer, like a newborn cat.

"Yes...it's Mr. Li Yancheng. Mr. Li Yancheng, the commander of the Beijing Camp."

Jiang Yi finally understood that the nobles holding the army had probably been dissatisfied with him for a long time, and now they wanted to cut off his wings.

They... just want him to be a 'saint king' who can rule the world with his hands.

Haha~
