Chapter 620 The Emperor's Wrath
Qiaoyun went to the Eldest Princess and his wife to discuss it. In fact, there was no need to think about the result, the Eldest Princess naturally agreed.Now they have been targeted by the imperial court. To be honest, there are too many dangers outside, but they are not as safe as in Anqing City.

With the situation like this, Qiaoyun had no choice but to stay in Anqing.So, according to Mrs. Gao's words, the next day, I took people with me and moved to the house in the east of the city.Here, as Mrs. Gao said, the two courtyards next to each other have been opened up. In this way, the place is relatively large, and Qiaoyun's staff can live there.

Qiaoyun arranged for the eldest princess and his wife to live in a slightly smaller courtyard to the east, while Qinglei, his wife, Lin Bokang and Xiao Shitou lived with Qiaoyun in the courtyard to the west.The guards arranged a lot of people on both sides, so that they were not afraid of anything.

Of course, the yard here is big enough and there is enough space, but there are not enough people to serve. Mrs. Gao was thoughtful and sent a lot of maids and women over to serve the eldest princess and the others.In this way, everything was arranged properly, and everyone lived in peace.

At the same time, Gao Yu also sent people to send letters to various places, summoning the leaders of the rebels from all walks of life in the world to come to Anqing for a meeting to discuss the crusade against Daliao.Now that Qiaoyun has lived in Anqing with peace of mind, it is natural for Gao Yu to use the banner of Qiaoyun to justify his name. He used the name of the former Princess Zhao to gather all kinds of volunteers, and he dared not fail to come to those people.

Anqing is actively defending against the next wave of attacks by the imperial court, and at the same time contacting the rebels from all over the country to come to the alliance. At this time, in the capital, the emperor has already learned about Anqing's situation.When the emperor heard that the [-] troops besieged and suppressed Anqing were wiped out, he was so angry that he almost died.

"Bastard, what the hell is going on here? The [-] army was easily defeated by a group of mobs? What do I want you trash to do? You can't even beat a group of reckless people, and the [-] army was wiped out in one fell swoop. This is still Daliao The iron cavalry? Where are all the elite teachers of Daliao?"

The emperor shouted and coughed angrily, he was stabbed by Qiao Yun, although he didn't hurt his heart, it hurt his lungs.Afterwards, although the imperial doctor took care of him meticulously, but one after another of all kinds of unfavorable news prevented him from recuperating well, and he still fell to the root of the disease, and he would cough non-stop when he got angry and anxious.

Facing the emperor's anger, none of the following officials dared to say a word.What can I say?Where is Daliao still the iron cavalry that traveled all over the world?Now those warriors on the prairie, all of them have been raised for a long time, and they can't ride a horse or hold a weapon. How can such an army fight?

However, these words cannot really be said to the emperor, otherwise the emperor would not be even more annoyed?So all the courtiers were cautious, and no one would take the risk of speaking.For a while, apart from the coughing of the emperor, there was no other movement in the hall.

The emperor coughed for a long time before recovering, and then got angry, "A bunch of trash, I have raised a bunch of trash like you, useless things, what else can you do with them? Go, mobilize troops and horses for me, call a hundred thousand troops , go to Anqing, we must wipe out Anqing, and bring that girl Huang Qiaoyun back."

Now mentioning Qiaoyun again, the emperor really gritted his teeth in hatred.He never imagined that a powerless little orphan would end up with a serious problem in his heart.This woman is really too powerful, she can easily escape from his control, and she can even attract a group of volunteers to guard her loyally.If we don't get rid of her now, Daliao will be destroyed by her hands when she is full-fledged.

Especially the news just received that Anqing is sending people to various places to contact the rebels.If that woman is really allowed to unite the rebels from all over the south of the Yangtze River, I'm afraid it will be a big force.At that time, it will be even more difficult for the court to exterminate these people.

"Go quickly, pass on my will, dispatch troops and generals, we must wipe out the rebellious party in Anqing, kill that girl, and don't let that girl become popular." The emperor was very anxious, and the current situation made him feel a little uneasy .

The ministers at the bottom finally couldn't hold back anymore, and someone said at that time, "Your Majesty, we have dispatched nearly 30 troops to pacify Nanshao before. However, the troops are all stationed on the western border at this moment, and the strength of the DPRK and China is not counted." There are too many, and it is really not easy to deploy troops." It was the Minister of the Ministry of War who spoke.

Daliao has not been very peaceful since last year. In order to use troops against Nanshao, it can be said that the people and financial resources in the south of the Yangtze River have been exhausted.Finally, under the leadership of Chu Kangsheng, Nanshao was pacified. However, a secret decree from the emperor brought Chu Kangsheng back to the capital, and the situation in Nanshao fell into a stalemate again.Up to now, the army stationed on the border of Nanshao is often harassed, and they are also facing situations such as insufficient food and grass, which is already a dilemma.

Just after the Minister of the Ministry of War finished speaking, the Minister of the Ministry of Households also spoke, "Your Majesty, the treasury is short of money, and the grain stocks in various places have dropped sharply. The soldiers and horses have not mobilized the food and grass. Now the court may not be able to afford another large-scale mobilization of troops. ah."

Daliao didn't pay much attention to farming, but the nobles occupied good fields one after another and raced horses to graze.Over the past ten years, an unknown number of fertile fields have been destroyed, so that the grain output has been greatly reduced, and the people are in dire straits.The tax and food collected by the Ministry of Households are decreasing every year. Coupled with the profligacy of the nobles of the Daliao Dynasty, they are already unable to make ends meet.

In the past, Chu Ruifeng went to sea every year, brought back a large amount of profits, and handed over a large part of the national treasury, barely maintaining the filling of the national treasury.However, last year when Chu Ruifeng went to sea and did not return, the national treasury lost this sum of money. To be honest, it was really stretched and difficult to maintain.If you want to transfer troops now, you really can't afford the money.

When the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household said this, the emperor was even more angry, "Waste, they are all waste, what can you do? I don't care about that. If the troops are not enough, they will be recruited, and if the food and wages are not enough, they will be taxed. Mobilize [-] troops to encircle and suppress Anqing. I absolutely can't wait for that girl to be full-fledged to attack the capital, no matter what method you use, you must complete it for me."

The emperor was so angry that he coughed again and again, and finally stopped again. The emperor couldn't bear it anymore, so he waved his hands and retreated. "Remember, I only give you half a month. If the time is up and you can't mobilize [-] soldiers and horses, and you can't prepare food and salaries, then you two will wait for the dismissal and go to the grassland to graze."

The emperor put down these threatening words, then flung his sleeves and left, leaving a group of ministers looking at each other, no one could do anything.Hubu Shangshu couldn't help shaking his head, meeting such an emperor, this official, it's really better not to be an official.

"What should we do? Your Majesty has issued a strict order. If our Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs cannot complete it, we will really lose our position." When everyone left the palace, the Minister of the Ministry of War could not help but sigh. "Oh, this official, it seems that he has really done it."
