Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 859
Then the rebels, under the command of the King of Fuzhou, raised 20 troops, and soon they would march north to attack the capital, and kill Shen Leihou and You Guifei on behalf of the king.

Finally, the rebels said that if Emperor Chen could wake up immediately, order the beheading of Shen Leihou, immediately terminate the policy of refined salt, kill Concubine You, and canonize King Jinling as the crown prince, they would decide to stop the army...

After the ministers circulated the memorandum, the whole court became a pot of porridge.

Some denounced the five southeastern states.

I also blame Zhu Xiuyuan for his refined salt.

Naturally, there are also those who denounce Concubine You.

Huang Chen had a headache.

After shouting at the ministers, he asked how to deal with it.

The civil servants, headed by Li Zhong, believed that peace should be maintained, and the proposals put forward by King Fuzhou should be properly considered, such as killing the god Leihou and conferring King Jinling as the prince.

As for the military attaches, because among the military attaches in the court, Zhu Xiuyuan has the highest title, so he is the head of the military attaches.

Zhu Xiuyuan naturally advocated leading the army south to quell the rebellion.

To Zhu Xiuyuan's surprise, Han Qingshan also agreed to send troops to quell the rebellion. Seeing that these two big shots advocated sending troops, the other military attachés also advocated sending troops.

However, Zhu Xiuyuan and Han Qingshan both wanted to go south, so they had a slight disagreement.

...Finally, Emperor Chen got angry and ordered the ministers to shut up. The quarrel between the ministers gave him a headache.

Then Emperor Chen ordered Zhu Xiuyuan to lead his [-] Shenlei army south to quell the rebellion on the grounds that "the southeastern rebels were attacking Shen Leihou", and ordered Zhu Xiuyuan to move out of camp within three days without any mistakes.

In addition, he ordered Linhai King in Hangzhou and the garrison assistants in the surrounding states and counties of the five southeastern states to provide grain and grass to the household department.

Chen Huang didn't allow all the ministers to object, and after finishing speaking, he waved his sleeves and left the hall.

The matter was thus settled.

Downwards.

Prime Minister's Office.

"Sir, your Majesty, your Majesty ordered the Ministry of Revenue to provide food and grass. What do you think?" In the study, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue asked, bowing his waist.

"Just follow the rules!" Li Zhong didn't even think about it.

The Minister of Revenue was stunned. He thought Li Zhong wanted him to do something about the supply of grain and grass, but he got such a reply.

"Yes..." Reluctantly, the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance withdrew, but it was not clear what he was thinking.

Jinling Palace.

When the King of Jinling heard the news that the five southeastern states had raised troops, he shouted three times with joy.

And quickly called his younger brother King Kuaiji and counselor Chen Dongyi to discuss the matter together.

Finally, they came to a conclusion: Shen Leihou's 20 Shen Lei Army went to the southeast and faced their [-] elite soldiers, and they would definitely lose!

Although the Divine Thunder Army is brave and their new weapons are quite powerful, they seem to be only useful when defending a city...

They had not seen the Divine Thunder Army engage in siege battles or encounters, so they expected that the Divine Thunder Army would definitely fail if they tried to siege the city.

They have 20 elite soldiers!

The excited King Jinling asked them about the preparations for the construction of the new square.

After learning that everything was going well and progressing at a rapid pace, King Jinling felt like a spring breeze.

It seems that in the near future, he will sit on the coveted crown prince throne, not only capture the God of Thunder Marquis Zhu Xiuyuan, but also defeat Zhu Xiuyuan in the business affairs...

Tsk tsk, the future looks promising!
While the King of Jinling believed that the Divine Thunder Army would be defeated, the ordinary people in the city generally believed that the Divine Thunder Army would be victorious and destroy the rebels with overwhelming force.

The opinions of the civil and military officials in the imperial court varied, but most of them hoped that the Shen Leihou would return in defeat, or that it would be best to die outside...

After Zhu Xiuyuan went to court, he went directly to the Divine Thunder Army camp ten miles outside the city to tell them the news of the expedition within three days.For this reason, Lin Bochang and the others were extremely excited.

They have been waiting for such a good opportunity for a long time.

"Don't underestimate the enemy! Leave it to Bo Chang to arrange the expedition. After all, they are known as 20 elite soldiers. No matter what, we must give them some face! Remember, the scene must be bigger and the rebels must be given enough respect. !”

In the Chinese army's tent, Zhu Xiuyuan said to them with a smile.

"Don't worry, Lord Marquis, all your subordinates know, hehe..."

Zhu Xiuyuan was about to give some more instructions when a eunuch entered the camp and said that Emperor Chen and Concubine You were going to Dong Yulou to escape the summer heat and asked him to go back and make arrangements.

Zhu Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, thinking that after such a big thing happened, Concubine You must have something to say to him.

So he patted Lin Bochang on the shoulder, Zhu Xiuyuan left the camp and returned to the city, clearing Dong Yulou and Wuyi Square.

Zhu Xiuyuan was very familiar with this process.

An hour later.

Still the same bathroom.

Zhu Xiuyuan hid behind the brocade tent and waited for Concubine You to arrive.

Soon people arrived, and this time Concubine You directly ordered all the maids to go out. Xiao Cui did not stay. After the door was closed, Concubine You summoned Zhu Xiuyuan to go out.

"Why don't you change your clothes?"

Zhu Xiuyuan felt a little strange, because even Xiaocui had gone out, but she was fully dressed.

However, when Concubine You heard this sentence, it had a different meaning.

She stared, pretending to be angry, but there was a smile on her brows, "What's the matter, isn't Ben Gong dressed neatly? Is Ai Qing so impatient to see Ben Gong?"

Zhu Xiuyuan was stunned and immediately reacted.

He quickly apologized and said, "I don't dare. I'm just curious that the empress didn't keep Xiao Cui."

"Xiao Cui?" Concubine You Gui looked at him for a moment, wondering, "Xiao Cui, what are you talking about, aren't you just Xiao Cui? I will serve Bengong to change clothes later, don't forget!"

Zhu Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, then his breathing became tight and he stared at her with eyes wide open.

This Concubine You... is really good at playing.

"Pfft!"

Concubine You couldn't hold back her laughter when she saw how his eyes were straight.

"However, before that, Aiqing needs to answer a question from me. If I am not satisfied, Aiqing, you are not Xiaocui!" She smiled brightly.

"what is the problem?"

"How confident are you that Aiqing will lead the troops south to quell the rebellion this time? This matter is not only related to Aiqing, but also to my status in the palace, as well as the prince, so we must not be careless!"

Concubine You looked a little solemn.

"Please rest assured, my dear concubine, I am 20% sure about this expedition. Today's Divine Thunder Army is no longer what it used to be. Even though they claim to have [-] elite soldiers, in front of the Divine Thunder Army, they are all just chickens and dogs!"

Regarding this, Zhu Xiuyuan has absolute confidence.

The new weapons used by the Divine Thunder Army, such as the Thunder Thunder, already belong to the category of thermal weapons.The rebels in the five southeastern states could only use cold weapons such as swords and guns.

As we all know, when hot weapons and cold weapons meet on the battlefield, the hot weapons will definitely be more powerful, a crushing gesture.

Furthermore, Zhu Xiuyuan's "military management philosophy" is to build the Divine Thunder Army into an all-powerful elite force.

When mounted, they are cavalry, and when dismounted, they are infantry. They can operate new weapons and are also proficient in using cold weapons in combat...
