After rebirth, I tortured the scum and strived to become the empress

Chapter 107 Asking for orders to suppress the rebellion
In Li Chen's view, this natural disaster is simply a god-sent opportunity-what a coincidence that the Buddha's birthday, the late spring, the prince's debauchery, and the rebellion of the disaster victims!

'Is it really my destiny? ’ Li Chen thought.

He just wanted to expose his eldest brother Li Xian's hobby on the Buddha's birthday, but he encountered a cold spring. This is God helping him!

He thought that he was helped by heaven, and looked at the records of the magistrate of Beidi County in front of him. He was very satisfied. These are all the crimes committed by Prince Li Xian. , so that the prince can never get up again!

Why is the late spring cold a natural disaster, but it can be blamed on Li Xian?

Who made it happen at such a coincidence that he was discovered on the day of praying for Buddha's birthday, and that Li Xian was caught doing ridiculous things by Empress Lou on the spot?

Because of this, this natural disaster was not Li Xian's fault, but it became his fault.

Li Chen brushed the folded files in front of him one by one with his hands. These were not only reminders for his elder brother Li Xian, but also his ladder to climb the clouds!It was a stepping stone for him to ascend to the throne of prince as soon as possible.

Although both the royal father and the queen mother expressed their interest in him being the crown prince, if he does not become the crown prince, he cannot take it lightly. The royal father wants him to wait for three to five years, and he can't wait that long!

Even if he becomes the prince in the future, he must be cautious. Isn't his eldest brother a ready-made example?I have been the prince for more than [-] years, and I may still be deposed now!

At this time, Liu Fuyun, the chief official of the Jin Dynasty, said with emotion: "There are 21 counties in the North, and there are thirteen county guards in emergency. Eight county magistrates have died in the civil unrest in the North. This natural disaster, God is really helping Your Highness!" As he said this, he looked at Li Chen and felt that he was favored by God. Otherwise, why would it be such a coincidence.

Li Chen plotted against Li Xian on Buddha's birthday, he, the chief official of the Jin Palace, knew about it, and even participated in it, but he really didn't count the natural disasters!

"It's a pity that we can't know the exact number of casualties of the people affected by the disaster in the Northland. Otherwise, with the specific number, it would be even more shocking!" Liu He regretted.

Li Chen voted bit by bit, even if he tried his best to get people to check, but he still couldn't get the exact number of casualties of the people affected by the disaster in the Northland this year, and the exact number can only be estimated by guesswork.

Because of the real number of casualties, no idiot sheriff would tell the truth in the report.

Because too many victims died, they, as local governors, cannot escape the responsibility. At least one of them failed to provide disaster relief and neglected their duties, so they could not escape.

No official will tell the truth, but according to Li Chen's estimation, in this cold spring, 5 people died of freezing, and although the rebellious people are said to be in the millions, there should not be that many.
He estimated that the number of victims who were desperate to rebel because of the lack of food harvests should be between 20 and 40.

So the number of people in the North who died due to freezing and war was roughly [-] to [-]...

Li Chen is carefully calculating the situation of the disaster in the Northland. He doesn't care how many people died in the disaster in the Northland.

What he cares about is whether he can beat his eldest brother Li Xian at once, which is why he is so dedicated to collecting information about the disaster in the North.

And it was precisely because of his instructions that the chaos in the court this morning happened.

……

After coming down to court, Shen Qingjun went to Beichen Palace to ask Emperor Shaowu, and she planned to ask the soldiers to go to the Northland to put down the rebellion!
The reason? One is that she wants to leave Yujing City and walk around.
Second, take the opportunity to avoid the court that is about to become a vortex for the succession,

The third is that she wants to do her part to do something for the disaster-stricken people in the Northland.

In fact, there was a cold spring in the previous life, and it also happened on the Buddha's birthday. Of course, the incident of Li Xian did not happen in the previous life, and there was no chaos in which you live and I die now.

But if you ask her if she regrets sending Li Chen the letter that exposed Prince Li Xian's background, she definitely doesn't regret it.

Because she knew Li Xian very well. He was a soft-spoken man with a weak mind and a temper that was easily deceived by others. Such a person had the power, and he had the highest power that could kill almost everyone. It was too dangerous.

Originally, Li Xian's character was unworthy of being a king, and under the influence of Ruan Ming, he had ill intentions toward her. He killed Dong Mei in his previous life, and prevented her from leaving the Xiao Mansion in this life. His ill intentions towards her were obvious, so he naturally had to eliminate the threat as soon as possible.

Standing outside Beichen Palace, Shen Qingjun was waiting for Emperor Shaowu's summons. The eunuch had already gone in to report. She was full of confidence in this request.

Some people wonder, if there is such a huge rebellion in the North, can Emperor Shao Wu trust her, a yellow-haired girl, to put down the rebellion?Can she be allowed to take on an important task as a newcomer who has never led a single soldier before?

Of course.

Because no matter how powerful the Northland rebellion is, it will not conceal the most important fact—it is a civilian rebellion, and no aristocratic family is involved.

If Zhang Yuancheng, one of the leaders, hadn't played the slogan "Kill corrupt officials, clean up dirty officials, eat enough!",

And Liu Jinguang, another leader of the disaster victims, shouted "No food, no food, what the hell!"

And these two simple and rude slogans are easy to understand. It seems that they can only be said by mud legs without feet.
When aristocratic families want to rebel, they will not directly say that they want to rebel. At least they will use the fig leaf of "clearing the emperor's side" or "abolition of darkness to establish Ming" to show their honorable side.

If Zhang Yuancheng and Liu Jinguang had not shouted these two slogans, they would not have been defined as "anti-people" and their attack on the county town and the killing of the county magistrate would not have been regarded as "rebellion"!
They can only be defined as "bandits" at most, and the attack on the county seat to kill the county magistrate is just a "riot" by the bandits.

So even though the rebellious people in the Northland had more than 10,000+ people and killed several county magistrates, in the eyes of Emperor Shaowu, the threat was not as great as that uninformed Ruan family who had been wiped out.

Therefore, the rebel army represented by Zhang Yuan, who was defined as a "bandit" in Emperor Shao Wu's heart, of course, can let her, the second generation of power, go to suppress the bandits, just as a practice.

Even if she doesn't know how to lead soldiers, or how to set up a camp, it doesn't matter, because someone will do these things for her, and the Shen family has retainers and staff.

Even if she fails, it won't matter much. Someone will keep her in check, and her father, Liang Guogong Shen Pingnan, can keep it!

There were examples of this in previous lives. In the previous life, the civil unrest in the North was quelled by Han Huazhi, the eldest son of Duke Han.

However, this man was very murderous and regarded the common people as nothing more than grass. He would only kill to stop killings in order to quell the chaos. He killed many people in the north.
To say the least, 8 or [-] people died at his hands. As a result, rebellions in the Northland continued one after another, and in the end, the Wei Dynasty was not completely put down.

Emperor Shao Wu looked at Shen Qingjun, who had been asked by His Highness to go to the north to suppress bandits. He thought for a while and said:
