There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 301 Rebellion
After Xia Houjing left, there was no change in the capital.

If there was any change, it would be calmer than before.

It was so calm that there was not even the slightest wave, and it was so calm that even those ministers had nothing to say when they went to court.

This kind of calm is different from the peace of the mountains and rivers before, and it always reveals a little inexplicable weirdness, which makes people involuntarily breathless.

At night, the ministers faded away one by one, and some people whispered in the crowd.

"Hey, do you feel that our emperor has suddenly become different?"

"Is there any difference, Your Majesty? It's just that your voice has improved, and your voice has changed back?"

"But..." A speech officer and censor stroked his goatee.

"I still feel that the emperor's eyes are different from before. A few days ago, the emperor was not so indifferent, but today, the emperor's eyes are still as scary as before!"

As soon as this remark came out, the surrounding ministers all laughed.

"Hey, Lord Yushi, I think you must be confused. There are a lot of memorials in Jiangnan recently. Can the emperor not be upset?"

"It is said that there are anti-poems in those memorials, tsk tsk tsk... These literati are really bold."

Because of the secrecy of this matter, most of the ministers in the DPRK and China did not get any information. Now that this is said, everyone just keeps silent after thinking about it, and will not say more.

The ministers thought about it and found it boring, so they shook their heads and left in twos and threes.

……

Time passed day by day, on the third day, there was no movement in Jiangnan, and on the fifth day, there was still no movement in Jiangnan.

But on the seventh day...

Before dawn, eight hundred li urgently sent them one by one to the capital, bypassing the cabinet and directly sending them to the royal case of the emperor in the imperial study.

But Xia Houjue was not in a hurry, pretending that he didn't know about it in advance.

That day he went to the royal courtyard in the suburbs to accompany the queen, and he didn't see the urgent report on the imperial study room until he came back the next day.

He frowned 'immediately' and asked why he wasn't sent directly to another hospital.

Li Dequan tremblingly made up a basket of reasons, and finally escaped the fate of being sent to the Department of Punishment to be punished.

When it comes to urgent reports, these contents are almost all preset by Xia Houjue in advance. The river embankment burst and the victims were drowned.

The common people's wives and children were scattered and their families were destroyed, and they all wanted to go to the capital to seek an explanation from the emperor with their hoes.

All of this was predicted by Xia Houjue in advance.

At this moment, holding the emergency report in his hand, he sneered: "It's just a levee burst in a deserted river mouth. It neither flooded the fertile land nor flooded the people, nor did the people's wives and children disperse. They made up a reason It’s not even made up like some.”

Xia Houjue tore up the urgent report in his hand, thought for a while and decided to continue to invite Jun into the urn, "Aren't those people going to Beijing to find an explanation? Let them come."

Literati don't know how to fight and kill themselves, but they will incite others to fight and kill for them.

These ordinary people disguised as disaster victims are all poor people they found from nowhere, either spent money, or threatened their families. In short, they are a group of fake disaster victims.

Of course, there are indeed decent ordinary people who were persecuted by unscrupulous officials, causing their wives and children to break up and their families to be destroyed. They will naturally join the team in front of them when they are incited.

In this way, from the south of the Yangtze River to the capital, the team grew stronger and stronger.

……

"Our people have already started to act." Dong Xianglan said triumphantly to Concubine Xian.

Concubine Xian was a little worried, she stared at her belly: "What if my baby is not a boy?"

Dong Xianglan thought for a while, then rolled her eyes: "So what if it's not a boy? Isn't the empress soon to give birth? One of you two must be a boy, right? When the time comes, we will kill the biological mother and bring the child over to raise him." Come on, isn't it the same?"

"So what can a little child know, won't he be the closest to you in the future?"

Concubine Xian thought for a while, and indeed, two pregnant women can't both be daughters, one of them must be a boy after all, right?
Then, these two children belong to her, and when things are done, the child ascends the throne, the Meng family assists the government, and she can be the empress dowager safely in this palace. This is really... tsk tsk tsk.

Concubine Xian never dared to think of such a day before.

"When the time comes, don't kill the queen, keep it for me. I want her to be my rough servant girl, and I want her to taste what it's like to bow her knees in front of me."

"No problem!" The two looked at each other and smiled, speechless.

……

If it is about fighting in front of the station, the scholars are probably helpless, but if it is about demagoguery, the scholars of the Meng family are really well-deserved experts.

On the way from Jiangnan to the capital, they mobilized all those who knew and didn't know to parade their grievances together, brainwashed everyone together, and joined the crusade team together.

When they finally entered Beijing, the leading commoners seemed to lose their minds. When they saw people wearing official uniforms and hats on the street, they would step up and beat them up, and they would be killed if they were not careful.

And what they pursue: "Do justice for the heavens, depose the imperial power, depose the dog officials, and let the people be in charge."

When Tang Wanning first heard this slogan, she subconsciously thought of the words peasant uprising and MLM brainwashing.

Finally, after listening to all the incidents, she came to a conclusion.

"This is an incident of brainwashing the common people, causing them to lose their reason and stand, and stand desperately against the imperial court."

"What a ruthless move, as expected of a scholar. These people are men and women, old and young. They can't use real swords and guns at all, but their destructive power is really amazing. In the past three days, there have been several murders. gone."

They couldn't be beaten, couldn't be scolded, and couldn't be persuaded. It was really a big trouble for these tens of thousands of people to flock to the capital together.

"It's really better to have tens of thousands of soldiers and fight a vigorous battle. What is this now?"

Xia Houjue smiled coldly; "This is where they are most vicious, but Wanwan doesn't have to worry, everything is up to me."

……

When things in the capital became more and more troublesome, Dong Xianglan in the palace finally took action. She first used poison to control all the imperial guards guarding the key points, and then led people to put all the concubines in the harem under house arrest.

At that time, Xia Houjue was still accompanying the queen in the other courtyard in the capital. Xia Houjue 'did' know everything the next day after she finished all this.

However, at this time, the entire palace was already controlled by Dong Xianglan.

"Hahaha... Your Majesty, there is a move called inside and outside. You should never have to go with some queen at this time!"

"If you don't go, I won't be able to get it, and you are still the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty. Unfortunately, you just can't forget that woman in your heart."
