Little lucky girl from the peasant family: Queen Splendid

Chapter 85
However, Fang Xin waved his hand and raised his voice: "My lord is surrounded by four groups of guards from the mountains, forests, forests, winds and fires, and there are also hidden guards. Don't worry. The key thing now is to contact the former soldiers and let them know that the lord is alive." He He said meaningfully: "The lord was raised in a remote place because of being poisoned. Now he has been dormant for several years, and he has basically recovered. But now the new emperor's tyranny has made the world miserable. The lord is heartbroken and determined to cut his wrists even if he bears a burden. Going against the name, I also want to seek justice for the good people of the world! Everyone, have the confidence to follow me to create a peaceful and prosperous world for the Lord, and create an eternal name for your ancestors and future generations!"

The blood of all the soldiers boiled up, and they all shouted, "I wish to follow the lord, and I will die!"

Even though there were only a dozen or so people, the final sound of death still echoed in the empty surroundings.

Fang Xin laughed loudly, "Okay! So we don't have much time, you follow me into the room to discuss the future in detail!"

Everyone rushed into the house.The boy was guarding outside cautiously.

In the morning of the next day, the door of the small courtyard was quietly opened, and the general, who was wrapped up all over his body, got on his fast horse and went to perform his task.

Fang Xin had been busy all night, but he didn't show any signs of fatigue on his face, and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion energetically.

While Fang Xin was in contact with the old Ministry of the Western Expedition, Prime Minister Fang had already contacted the four great families for the sake of the family foundation and the people of the world, and told them the news that Gong Meiji was alive in the world, and another gossip spread to the civil servants in Beijing In the ears, many civil officials have already wavered at this time, and the wind in Beijing is jittery.

Prime Minister Fang discussed with his staff in the study how to use the fastest method to make these civil servants make up their minds.

As soon as Fang Xin returned to the mansion, a young man rushed to the mansion with tears streaming down his face. As soon as he saw Prime Minister Fang, he knelt on the ground and cried loudly: "Prime Minister, my father has been beheaded by His Majesty at the Meridian Gate!"

The people who came out to visit with Prime Minister Fang were all taken aback.

The son who spoke, the father at home is also regarded as Prime Minister Fang's staff for many years, and he has always gotten along very well.Upon first hearing the bad news, Prime Minister Fang's heart trembled, and he asked hoarsely, "What happened!"

While crying, the young man told the story of the previous court.

It turned out that during this period of time, the new emperor favored the concubines in the harem and no longer went to court early, so the prime minister and the others had time to deploy quietly.

However, after the news of Gong Meiji's survival spread in a small area of ​​the capital, people in the capital were panicked.

Xinhuang is not a fool, although he doesn't know what happened, but also realizes that something is wrong.

He is cruel and ruthless by nature, so he didn't ask at all. This morning, he summoned several ministers into the palace with several memorials, without even giving a reason. The emperor ordered to push to the Meridian Gate and beheaded.

As the young man read out the names of the beheaded people one by one, everyone found that among these people, either those who had always had rifts with the emperor and were hated by the new emperor, or those who had been close to Gong Meiji.But since the new emperor came to the throne, they have also been diligent in handling political affairs, and they are good officials in the hearts of the people.

An aide in his 40s came out and said in a trembling voice, "The emperor is taking this opportunity to eradicate dissidents..."

Fang Xin also gritted his teeth secretly, maybe he still thinks things are simple.

Prime Minister Fang looked up at the sky, pondered for a while, and then said calmly: "Your Majesty's move will chill the hearts of the world's loyal and good people! This move will push the world's civil servants to us, you need to be prepared!"

Everyone glanced at each other, and they all responded positively.

Not to mention that Fang's backyard was full of excitement, but that Liu Bojun immediately limp and fell on the chair when he heard the news at home.

The concubine who was serving beside him was frightened and hurried to help, but Liu Bojun who came back to his senses waved him away impatiently: "Get out!"

The little concubine who was still enjoying pity and favor just now was too frightened to show her anger, and hastily backed out aggrieved.

Liu Bojun looked up at the roof, and suddenly regretted it in his heart. With such a foolish king, can his ambitions, his dream of being immortal, really come true?

He suddenly thought of Gong Meiji, who had been killed by him, and this one sitting on the dragon chair today, that is one heaven and one underground!
If I followed him back then, maybe, maybe...

Thinking of this, Liu Bojun suddenly struggled, and said sharply, "No matter how capable he is in governing the family, he is still the emperor's dog! Such a person is not a good leader! I did nothing wrong. I, Liu Bojun, have world affairs in mind and great ambitions in my heart. , how can such a small difficulty be knocked down, there must be a way to save it! There must be a way!"

He suddenly gained strength, stumbled to his feet, and shouted outside, "Come here, change the court clothes for me, sir, I want to enter the palace to face the saint!"

There must be a chance to save it!As long as the new emperor can listen to his loyal ministers!

While changing his clothes, he was thinking in his mind that he was going not only to persuade the emperor to kill less loyal ministers, but also to reduce taxes. This year's drought in the south has already caused refugees to go north. If there are more exorbitant taxes, it may provoke rebellion among the people. If necessary, the national treasury can be opened for disaster relief, so as to win the hearts of the people!
However, after thinking about it, he thought of the various deceitful actions of the new emperor since he took the throne, and he couldn't help cursing secretly.

He scolded the new emperor for not being a good emperor, and scolded himself for lack of foresight. Now he was dragged into this quagmire and couldn't get out!
Even if he enters the palace to exhort him, the chance of success is only [-]%. It is impossible to say that even his own life will be buried in it.

However, he didn't dare not to go, what he wanted to stay in the world was fame for centuries, not infamy through the ages!

Unfortunately, it backfired.

He had just packed up and entered the palace, and the carriage was still at the entrance of the palace, when he heard someone galloping all the way in the inner city, and shouted, "Hurry up for [-] miles! Hurry up for [-] miles! Those who stop will die, and those who go against it will die." Those who die!"

Liu Bojun, together with the maid and eunuch, hastily avoided and let the postman pass by, leaving a dusty place behind.

At this time, everyone in the palace was already restless, and when they heard that Babaili was in a hurry, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, with shock and panic on each other's faces.

Liu Bojun also became anxious, could it be that there are rebels somewhere?
He quickened his pace, quickly entered the arch, and walked towards the Golden Luan Hall.

As a result, before arriving at the place, some young eunuchs heard the news and discussed privately, "I heard that there was an urgent report from Babaili. It was a flood in the south after several days of drought. The fields were completely wiped out. Most of the farmers People became refugees and beggars, countless people starved to death and were flooded!"

Liu Bojun felt his hands and feet go weak, and when he arrived at the main hall, he heard Sima Quan furious, and asked the post envoy, "Why did you come to report at this time? How could such an important national matter be ignored!"

The guard ran around for several days, exhausted several strong horses, didn't even drink his saliva, his face and mouth were covered with white blisters, he was out of shape.

He suddenly heard the emperor's scolding, and he explained in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, the place that must pass from south to north was robbed by refugees and bandits. The little one was rushing all the way, and six strong horses died of exhaustion, so he was able to move." The memorial is here!"

In other words, he did his best.

"You bastard! You're delaying such an important matter! Come on, push it out!" Sima Quan became even more annoyed after hearing the explanation.
Liu Bojun rushed over, knelt down on the golden floor of the hall with a thump, and shouted repeatedly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, absolutely not! The two countries will not be able to send troops to war. Besides, this post envoy reports urgently from eight hundred miles away." There is no delay, Your Majesty is merciful!"

He knew that the emperor was venting his anger. It would not matter if he killed a person on weekdays, but this was a courier who traveled thousands of miles to deliver letters. He killed him in a fit of anger. If it spread, everyone would be even more angry with the new emperor!
Sima Quan didn't listen, and opened his eyes angrily, pointing at Liu Bojun, "Do you dare to intercede? Then you will die in his place!"

Liu Bojun opened his mouth to speak, but he still didn't dare to stalk his neck in front of the furious emperor.

Therefore, the post envoy who hadn't caught his breath was also pushed out and beheaded.

The blood on the ground of the Meridian Gate was not yet dry, but another layer was added.

Xu Shi killed someone, and the emperor's anger subsided a little, so he squinted his eyes and looked at Liu Bojun, "Liu Aiqing, now that the land in the south is completely harvested, there are countless casualties, how do you think this matter will be resolved!"

What the emperors of all dynasties feared most was drought and floods, which meant that farmers could not fill their stomachs, and then embarked on the road of rebellion.Sima Quan is just vicious and greedy, not stupid.

He knew that this matter could no longer be ignored and must be dealt with immediately.

Liu Bojun had made a plan before he came, and immediately knelt on the ground, arching his buttocks like a pig, and said in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, the only way to do it now is to open the national treasury for disaster relief as soon as possible! And send imperial envoys to the south, one to prevent Officials in the south are greedy for ink, and the other is to show the emperor's grace!"

Sima Quan frowned. Once the treasury was opened, the amount of food that was donated was not a small amount.Although the grain tax was raised last year, but this year he spent a lot of money on construction and construction of the imperial mausoleum.

"Your Majesty, at such a critical time, you can't hesitate!" Liu Bojun pleaded from the inside: "Refugees are not terrible, what is terrible is that they are bewitched by people with good intentions, and then rise up!"

"Presumptuous!" This sentence hit Si Jiaquan's hidden pain, and he sternly reprimanded him.

Liu Bojun only raised his forehead heavily, but he didn't dare to say a word.

Sima Quan's face was unpredictable, and he finally made up his mind: "Order to open the national treasury, and I will use the national food to relieve the disaster!"

Immediately, someone ordered to act, Liu Bojun also breathed a sigh of relief, no matter how bad Sima Quan's reputation is, but with the opening of a storehouse for disaster relief, Mingjun's image can finally be restored.

However, before he breathed a sigh of relief, the person who went to open the treasury just now came back crying, shouting: "Your Majesty is not good, it is not good, the food in the treasury is gone..."

Gone!This life-saving national food is gone...the only chance to save is gone...

The world will turn against it!
Liu Bojun fell to the ground with a "plop", his eyes glazed over.It's over, it's over!
