Chapter 536 Let Them Go To Death
However, on the second day after the bandits were quickly wiped out and Yue Yuanzheng's clansmen were also killed, more news spread from all directions——

"King Rong was imprisoned in the palace by the emperor, and his life and death are unknown!"

"The Yue family was loyal to the country and wanted to support the orthodoxy, but the emperor became jealous and killed them all!"

……

Slowly, the taste of the news changed.

"The emperor is cruel, not a wise king!"

"He murdered Zhongliang, the former Prince Jianye was killed by him! Now he even refuses to let the Prince Jianye's only bloodline, King Rong!"

"By the way, the Zhenxi Wang family was killed by him!"

……

Shouts like this were endless, and the tragic stories about the poor King Rong, the loyal and patriotic Yue clan, and the Zhenxi Wang family were quickly improved and strengthened, and spread to other places quickly.

Immediately afterwards, small groups of people rose up from all over the country, all under the banner of rescuing King Rong and helping orthodoxy.

"Kill, kill, kill! Catch them all and kill them!"

When the emperor heard the news, he was so angry that he yelled and danced in Qianqing Palace, issued dozens of imperial decrees in one day, and dispatched troops to suppress bandits everywhere.

"Your Majesty, no!" The Minister of the Ministry of War knelt down anxiously and yelled, "It seems that there is a commotion outside, but it is actually not a big deal. You just need to send an imperial edict to the local officials, telling them to suppress the bandits. It's a trivial matter. , why use the troops around the capital?"

"If the magistrates are useful, why did the rumor spread like this? And those bandits, they are really hateful! I don't want to kill them like that now, it would be too cheap for them! I want to capture them alive, cut them into pieces, Execute Ling Chi to frighten the world!" The emperor roared.

"But your majesty, suppressing bandits everywhere like this will consume a lot of manpower, money and food. This is a great disadvantage to the country!" The Minister of the Ministry of War continued to persuade.

"Are you the emperor or I am the emperor?" The emperor roared unbearably.

The Minister of the Ministry of War hurriedly fell to the ground.

The emperor flicked his sleeves. "This world is my world! Over the years, I have worked diligently and cared for the people, led the people to recuperate, and filled the treasury. Isn't the money and food in the treasury not enough to wipe out so many Xiaoxiao? The iron hoof crushes their ridiculous desires, and tells them to take a good look at what is the end of going against the country!"

He has been stimulated to the point of madness, and now his mind is full of thoughts on how to suppress those gangsters as soon as possible, and put out the rumors that are spreading everywhere.He wants a quick victory, so sending out the most elite fighters at hand is the best way.

Minister of the Ministry of War knew that persuasion was useless, so he could only follow his orders.

As a result, the soldiers and horses hoarded around the capital quickly dispersed to all parts of the country.

"He's just crazy!"

When Li Er returned home, he inevitably cursed again.

"Nowadays, the defense force around the capital has been reduced by [-]%, and the food and grass in various places have been consuming a lot. But the emperor has no plans to stop. He is going to send everyone out to leave such a city. Is the empty city allowed to be attacked?"

Su Ran frowned as she looked at the map circled by him with cinnabar.

"No matter how angry the emperor is, he won't lose his mind completely, and he won't release all the people." She said softly.

"I know, I just said that casually." Li Er waved his hand, "It's just that [-]% of the manpower has been released now, and he has no intention of stopping. The situation is already very urgent! He clearly hasn't discovered the problem yet! "

"Then you go to the book and tell him the problem!" Su Ran said.

"What's the use of my book? He doesn't even read it!" Speaking of this, Li Er became even more angry.

Su Ran couldn't help pursing her lips.

Speaking of which, those people were really cautious.On the one hand, under the banner of helping King Rong and supporting orthodoxy, on the other hand, they are still promoting the loyalty and grievances of Yue Yuanzheng's family, and on the other hand, they also involve the matter of the former Zhenxi Palace.The emperor was already suspicious, but now that he heard these stories, he must feel that Li Er also had contacts with the rebels.Even if Li Er produced evidence to prove that he was doing right and upright, the emperor would not appoint him again.Therefore, even though it was the time when the imperial court was short of manpower, he was at home unemployed, unable to do any serious work.

Liu Qiqiao, she is indeed a woman!

"Okay, this is just the beginning. According to the current situation, the more he desperately wants to solve the battle quickly, the more sparks will be sparked outside. The emperor is not stupid, he slowly You will know that he was just fooled." Now, she can only persuade him like this.

Li Er snorted coldly. "Be afraid, be afraid. By the time he reacts, it will be too late!"

As a result, it was a prophecy.

The rebels everywhere were wiped out in one place, and then another one popped up, like a gopher, knocked out one and then came out again, the emperor became more and more frustrated, so naturally he would continue to send people out .Before he knew it, half of the defenders outside the capital had been sent out by him!
And at this time, Chun Wei finally arrived.

Even though the flames of war were raging outside, the capital was still as calm as before, and many royal family members and nobles were still singing and dancing, so the three-yearly Spring Festival naturally couldn't be absent.

When it came to the opening day of Chunwei, Brother Quan entered the venue full of confidence, and returned home pale after taking the exam for five days.

Huang Shi and Luo Huan hurried up to meet him, and saw him smiling at them with a determined face: "No problem."

On the day when the list was released, people from Zhenxi Palace rushed to see the list, and found that Brother Quan's name was ranked No. 60 and No. [-] on the second list.

It's not a great ranking, but it's not bad either.

In other words, he really hit it!

Their Su family has finally graduated as Jinshi!

After knowing the ranking, Su Ran immediately asked someone to set off a large string of firecrackers at the gate of the palace, and scattered three baskets of copper coins.Huang's mother-in-law and Luo Huan's daughter-in-law were so happy that they wiped away their tears.

After Princess Jingyi heard the news, she even sent someone to send a congratulatory gift.Soon other families in the capital also knew about it, and naturally everyone sent servants to send congratulatory gifts to rejoice.All brothers and their yards are filled with presents.

"It's been a long time, and it's a big happy event at home. We have to take care of it!" Su Ran discussed with Li Er, "By the way, congratulate Brother An for getting an official."

"Okay." Li Er nodded, and Su Ran went to make arrangements.

However, just the night before the banquet, Su Ran was sleeping when she suddenly noticed a slight noise around her.

She had been sleeping lightly these days, so when she heard the voice, she immediately opened her eyes and saw that Li Er had sat up.

"What's wrong?" She asked him hurriedly.

Li Er raised his finger and pointed outside. "problem occurs."

"Something happened, something happened!"

Soon, torches were lit on the street outside, and people kept running back and forth, shouting: "The two well-equipped troops came from the Beijing, Nanjing and North Roads, and the soldiers from the Beijing, Nanjing, and North Roads were defeated. , has already been defeated! Now the rebel army has reached the gate of the city, and there are at least 5 people!"

The news was sent to the palace immediately.

"Bastard!" The emperor was so angry that he overturned the previous cases. "Such a large group of people suddenly appeared around the capital, and the defenders from all over the place didn't notice it? What are they doing?"

"This... Your Majesty, this is not the time to talk about this. Right now, these two teams have already reached the gate of the palace. They are powerful and equipped with excellent equipment. It is not a problem to fight three against one. Since the troops on Beijing-Nanjing North Road We can't stand it anymore, and the defenses on the Beijing, Tokyo and West roads are relatively weak, and most of our troops are now scattered all over the country. It will take time to call people back. But when they come back, I'm afraid the city gates will be early. It's already..." Minister of the Ministry of War almost cried to death on the ground.

How many times has he persuaded the emperor not to act impulsively, and at least keep most of the troops around the capital to prevent accidents.As a result, the emperor didn't listen, and now it's all right, the capital is in danger!
"You have the nerve to say so! Every year, the Ministry of Households allocates so much food and grass to the Ministry of War. Is this how you feed this group of waste? Now that things have come to this point, it's all your fault!" the emperor scolded angrily.

The Minister of the Ministry of War shouted injustice, but he could only admit his mistake: "Yes, it's all the fault of this humble minister. It's just the emperor, how should this matter be resolved now?"

"How to solve it, how to solve it, how do I know? I have never fought in battle!" The emperor paced back and forth angrily.

After walking for a while, he suddenly stopped.

"By the way, aren't they going to rescue King Rong? Then you take King Rong out to show them, and ask these rebels to see if King Rong is dead or not! And Li Yuanpu, tell him to go with him, call Those people should take a good look to see if I have treated them badly!"

The Minister of War was astonished.

The reason why the rebels are so clamorous is just to find a plausible excuse for their actions.But now, they have all killed outside the capital, which means that they will definitely enter the capital, and no one can stop them.

And now the emperor told them to send King Rong and King Zhenxi to the city gate, clearly to send them to die!
