Dao fruit.

Snapped!

Li Kun smashed the memorial in his hand to the ground, and then stood up, as if this was the only way to calm down the anger in his chest.

"Good! Good! Good! What a Hu Bin, you don't even need to hand over my [-] army, and you go to follow the thief yourself. You are really loyal. He is a brave uncle, and he is really good. I... I... …I……"

Li Kun was furious, but as he spoke, a smear of blood suddenly appeared on his haggard and pale face, followed by an unsteady foot, he collapsed on the dragon chair all of a sudden!

"His Majesty!"

"emperor!"

This time, the officials of His Majesty's ranks were shocked, and they shouted hurriedly. If it was not restricted by the etiquette system, they would all rush to help.

"It's okay, it's okay..." Li Kun was stunned for two or three breaths on the dragon chair. He only felt his eyes darkened, his limbs felt weak, and he felt heart palpitations. He knew that he couldn't continue for the time being, so he just waved his hands.

On the side, Eunuch Wei was very anxious, and when he turned his eyes, he urged the next court, and the officials knew how to advance and retreat. Although the state affairs were critical, the emperor was inconvenient, so he couldn't hold on, not to mention the political affairs hall and the privy secretary. Dian** Fiction Academy was able to make a decision, so it naturally took advantage of the situation to retreat.

However, after the fall of the court, the discussion in the court and the performance of the emperor immediately spread, and there was even an undercurrent in the city, thinking that half of the country was about to fall into turmoil.

However, because the channel of news dissemination is still under control, the people have not been affected too much, but in the large and small yamen in the capital, there are officials and subordinates talking in private.

"The disaster in the north was finally quelled, and it was about to enter a peaceful and prosperous age, but the south suddenly reversed. No wonder the emperor was angry."

"Isn't it? But, what do you think is the matter with the officials in Lingnan? They got mixed up with a demon sect like the White Lotus Sect. This sect is secretive, but it's not the righteous way, and it fits with it. What can it do? Isn't that Are you self-destructing your future?"

"If so many officials hadn't surrendered, how could it have affected half of the country with the methods of the White Lotus Sect?"

"At this moment, the two regions in the south have been completely corrupted, and the camp along the river has been destroyed. Even the nobles like Hu Bin have rebelled from the bandits. It is estimated that the transfer of the northern army to the south is imminent. When the grassland is pacified As soon as the elite army arrives, a clown like the White Lotus Sect will probably be beaten back to its original form."

"But it's not necessarily true. This matter is too weird. I heard someone say that it was the practice of the demons of the White Lotus Sect that made the officials of the court surrender. Otherwise, it would be too weird. Even people like Hu Bin would betray the court. His whole family But they are all in the capital. The whole family is only in the middle of the emperor's thoughts, there must be a reason, and the camp along the river is not as elite as the northern army. But it was defeated so badly in Chengdu, and even the commander's camp was raided , it can be seen that in the White Lotus Sect, there are also people who know how to fight."

"That's right. And you are not on the front line. I don't know some trivial things. I heard my brother say it a while ago. It is said that the Northern Army now has a lot of arrogant soldiers, and several major envoys are fighting each other seriously, and even..."

"Don't talk about this, let's not talk about these things, because those people above will not tell the emperor."

"Speaking of your majesty, I heard that the emperor's old illness had relapsed and fainted in court today. I don't know if it's true or not. Brother Zhang, you are also coming to court today, can you tell us about it?"

"It's a crime to talk about officials behind their backs. If I say it, you all have to keep it secret. In fact, this is a rumor. Although the officials said that they were not in good health at the time, it was obvious at a glance, but they did not faint."

"Well, it's not easy for the officials. This will calm the troubles in the north, let alone suppress the momentum of those people and marsh people, open up the territory and expand the country, and promote the prestige of our country. After doing such a thing, leave a name..."

"Forbidden words, can these words be taken out and said casually?"

……

Dialogues like this appeared everywhere in the imperial court in the capital, accompanied by changes in people's hearts.

However, even though the momentum of the White Lotus Sect seems to be the same for a while, and the country in the south is affected, not many people think that this sect can succeed. In the eyes of the officials and people in the capital, this is nothing more than a relatively large-scale rebellion. It will last for a long time, but it will eventually be wiped out by the court.

But, after all, someone still has to worry.

After the dynasty disbanded, not long after, several ministers were invited to the imperial study in the palace to discuss countermeasures with the emperor.

"I know, you should have passed each other's breath, and you should have a countermeasure. Tell me and let me listen." Li Kun sat on the chair, his face was still a little pale, and the half-drunk medicine soup was placed on the table. , looked at the several ministers in front of him, and spoke softly, looking weak.

"Your Majesty, please take care of the dragon body."

Seeing this scene, several important officials hurriedly persuaded him.

"Now it's not about this time, if this kind of thing happens, if I don't care about it, I won't be safe even if I take care of myself." Li Kun shook his head, his eyes fell on Xu Yingyi's face, "However, things have come to this point, there is no longer any Let it be tolerated in the slightest, don't use any excuses to prevaricate, if you want to talk, talk about how to put down chaos and rebellion."

Rebellion refers to the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect, and rebellion refers to the rebellion of Lingnan and many officials and generals.

Judging from this sentence, the emperor wants to divide the matter into two sides, but he must wait until it really calms down before he can start. What he has to do now is to deal with the crisis.

"Yes."

Several ministers exchanged a look, and then Wang Jing came forward. As a privy envoy, his narration already showed the attitude of the chief executives.

"The ministers all feel that the two most elite troops from the north must be mobilized to fight against the rebellious army..."

After that, Wang Jing briefly described the countermeasures they discussed. One of the key points is to define the rebellion. The purpose of this characterization is actually to show merit.

The army of this era has almost no faith at all. They are all soldiers and eat food. This is also the reason why the rebellion in the south was able to absorb soldiers from several major military towns.

Let the northern army come over, if you want to use their combat power, and let the generals and soldiers work hard, you must give them benefits. For the soldiers, this benefit is military merit.

However, in terms of credit, this rebellion cannot be compared with the expansion of the territory. The army that was transferred must be unwilling, and it is necessary to improve the status of the matter through the characterization of the court to make the credit even greater. , in order to balance the minds of the mobilized troops——

This is not to say that the troops that are mobilized casually will not try their best, and it is no problem in normal times, but now that the fruits of the national war have not been harvested, who would be willing to put down the risk-free credit at hand and do risky things?

If it was relatively peaceful, people would still be robbed of the chaos. A little credit, radiated through layers, was reported to the court, and it became a great achievement, and it would even be recorded as the emperor's merit, leaving a record of martial arts.

But in the eyes of an emperor like Li Kun who expanded his territory, putting down the rebellion was not only a merit, but a discredit to him. Of course, he didn't want to make a big splash, let alone improve his personality.

Therefore, the proposals of several ministers fell into his eyes, but made the emperor very unhappy: "The rebellion of the monsters is such a big deal that it will make the generals not pay enough attention? However, you can say these things, which proves that this is true." The White Lotus Sect's comers are not good, if you don't take it seriously, I'm afraid there will be repetitions, and you really need to let the elite pay attention, so..."

When Li Kun said this, he had made a decision.

"I've decided to go on the expedition myself!"

………………

On the other side, the army of the White Lotus Sect has already expanded.

After the original [-] people were recruited into the imperial army of nearly [-], the number increased dramatically.

However, the temporarily recruited army is not a direct descendant, and generally speaking, it is not ideal in terms of loyalty. Even if the White Lotus Sect has a way to restrain the troops, it will not be able to form combat power in a short period of time.

However, this team is of some help to maintain the law and order in the area occupied by the White Lotus Sect. Zhao Hong, the general of the White Lotus Sect, has already begun to divide the troops into several cities, and rearrange them after they are disrupted. While maintaining law and order, weaken the original organizational system and affiliation.

After finishing all this, Zhao Hong remembered something and asked, "How is Hu Bin?"

Then a cold voice replied: "It's still in the process of indoctrination, his will is quite firm, he has used ten distracting charms, and he still hasn't completely confused him, he can still distinguish between illusion and reality, and the ability to judge and analyze It has not been completely reversed, and it can still recognize people. It is estimated that it will take a few more to distort the senses of the person."

Zhao Hong nodded and said: "Of course, Hu Bin is very capable. If I hadn't taken a risk this time, I might not have been able to catch him. For him, spending a few charms is considered a It's normal, don't feel sorry, let the people below do it freely."

"Yes."

At this time, Zhao Hong looked at the roster in front of him, and said with a smile: "After we gain a firm foothold here, we can plan to continue going north, but no matter what, most of the south is in our pockets." Once Hu Bin is gone, Jiangnan Dao and Lingnan Dao will no longer have an army comparable to our White Lotus Sect!"

After the words fell, he raised his hand to make a gesture of grabbing something in his hand.

"The south is already in our hands!"

………………

"Bachelor, after climbing over the mountain ahead, you will be at the edge of the river."

At the same time, a seemingly inconspicuous team was slowly approaching Dajiang.

This team has a large number of people, and there is a division of labor. It can be regarded as a large number of people wherever it is placed. The reason why it is still described as "small" is because it is compared to another army along the river. However, compared with the "Northern Expedition" army of the White Lotus Sect, this army of only 5000 people is really lackluster.

However, no one could have imagined that this [-]-horse army, which had no formal establishment in the Da Rui Army, would leave a mark in history. (To be continued..)
