The eldest princess is a captive and the abstinent official is seductive

Chapter 31 Rebel Rebellion

From the capital city to Jizhou, even if we drive at full speed and without stopping, it will still take at least three days.

Fortunately, the weather is not too hot at this time. When Xiao Chong was appointed as General Guangzong in Beijing, the officials and clan elders would find a way to wait for Xiao Chong to return, even if they spent a little more money. A way to ensure that the body does not rot.

Xiao Chong, who only wore a filial piety and sent the letter, did not know his identity. He wanted to ask him some information, but found that he had already taken a step ahead.

Government affairs are proceeding step by step.

Yan Chen would call the imperial physician to the palace every night to check his pulse to make sure the dragon's body was fine.

Half a month passed and I felt no physical discomfort.

Yan Chen gradually let go and began to suspect that Yan Qing was deliberately trying to scare him. Maybe he was not poisonous at all.

I went to ask the Queen Mother, but she didn't have any obvious symptoms. Yan Chen became more and more worried.

However, not even a day after I put down my heart, my face was shocked by the sudden news.

"Your Majesty!" An urgent report broke the temporary silence in the palace, and also broke the noise in the morning. "There is a large-scale army rebellion in the southeast area. After investigating the remnants of the previous dynasty, the emperor is requested to send troops to rebel immediately! "

Yan Chen's expression suddenly changed: "What?"

All civil and military officials in the dynasty were shocked: "Remnants of the previous dynasty?"

"Reporting to the emperor, it is true that the remnants of the previous dynasty were led by the rebellious army, a descendant of the most famous general of the previous dynasty, named Feng Tianqi. My subordinates suspected that there should be a master behind him, but this master has never shown up." Human report said, "Feng Tianqi's rebels are very powerful. The two cities of Fengxiang and Feiyu in the southeast have been occupied by them. The rebels are very good at winning over people. After capturing the cities, they are prohibited from burning, killing and looting, and instead treat the common people well." , and even the people took the initiative to provide them with accommodation... Your Majesty, if this continues, the consequences will be disastrous. "

"This...why did the rebels suddenly appear?"

"Feng Tianqi? I've never heard of this name."

"In the past, I only heard that the rebels burned, killed, and looted, causing the people to live in dire straits. This is the first time I heard that the rebels were kind to the people. It is really unbelievable."

"What is unbelievable? The bandits who burned, killed and looted only occupied the city. They were greedy for money and had no morals. They are terrible at recovering people. It proves that they came prepared and planned to fight for a long time."

Yan Chen's face was as dark as water, and he held the armrest of the dragon chair tightly. He listened to the ministers' words without saying a word until the discussion was paused, and then he said coldly: "The rebels should be punished!"

꺶The ministers shouted that our emperor is wise.

Yan Chen turned to look at Wen Jin, "Wen Qing, who do you think should be sent to rebel?"

Wen Jin said: "Although General Xiao has left, several generals under his command have talents that can be used. Taking this opportunity to accumulate military merit, he will be able to better win the followers of the soldiers in the future."

"I think the regent can also lead troops." Another cabinet minister frowned, "If the rebels are very powerful, I wonder if the generals of the Huben Army will be their opponents."

Yan Chen's expression darkened, asking the regent to rebel? Do you think his power is not enough?

"They were brought out by General Xiao 꺶 himself. It's just a mere rebellion. It shouldn't be a problem."

"Having never led an army on the battlefield alone, who knows what a leader is like?"

"Since the rebels are not large in size, if the Huben Army cannot suppress even this small number of rebels, how can they go to the battlefield to defend their country in the future?"

"Xu Jingren is right. The regent went to rebel because he was incompetent. Now it is an opportunity for the generals under General Xiao Jingqi to gain experience."

Wen Jin quietly closed her eyes, listening to the ministers each holding their own opinions, and the result was already determined.

It was impossible for the emperor to let the regent rebel. Even if all the civil and military officials suggested that the regent send troops, it would be useless. In the end, it was decided that the Hu Ben Army would take over the task.

And this result was exactly what Wen Jin expected - or it could be said that it was part of his plan.

Yan Chen glanced at the ministers in the palace, and his voice was quiet and dignified: "What do you think if Xiao Chong is recalled?"

"Your Majesty, you must not do this!"

"General Xiao has great filial piety. If he is called back at this time, he will not only suffer criticism, but also make the people of the world think that Yong is unavailable. Wouldn't the rebels become more arrogant and domineering, increasing their arrogance?"

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

The ministers all knelt down: "Your Majesty, please think again!"

"The ministers have thought carefully about it, but I am confused." Yan Chen said in a gentle tone, "Wen Aiqing, Xu Aiqing, Li Aiqing, and Wang Aiqing, please go to the Imperial Study Room to discuss this matter in detail after the court."

The few young princes in the palace never spoke. They looked at Wen Jin, who had been entrusted with important tasks by the emperor, with deep eyes and meaningful expressions.

It is said that Wen Jin and Xiao Chong were the emperor's civil and military confidants, a powerful minister and a military general, the emperor's right-hand man, and these two right-hand men were also secretly quarreling with each other.

I wonder how true or false this guess is?

There have indeed been a lot of things happening in Korea recently, one after another, leaving people with no time to react. In addition, I don’t know whose handiwork it was?

Arriving at the imperial study, Yan Chen asked several cabinet ministers for their opinions as usual. After everyone else made their statements, Yan Chen looked at Wen Jin and said, "What do you think, Qing Wen?"

"General Xiao can command an army of 200,000 tigers and soldiers. He is not the leader alone. The most important thing is that he can know people and make good use of them. Just like the emperor, he has absolute trust in his loyal and capable subordinates." Wen Jin said slowly and calmly, "After General Xiao left, he divided the power of the Huben Army into three parts. Each general was responsible for the training of 50,000 Huben troops. They each obeyed the emperor's orders. In time, the emperor can Make a drill plan and let them compete with each other to see which general brings out more powerful soldiers."

Yan Chen nodded slowly.

"But the rebels arrived by chance, and the rebellion cannot be delayed. There is no time for so many people to practice, and it is impossible for all the generals to rebel at the same time. We can only let them compete with each other to see who has the better leader. If you are better, leading the troops to rebel in this way can also convince people and make the emperor feel at ease. "

After all, this is an opportunity to perform meritorious service and prevent civil strife. In addition to being promoted and rewarded, his prestige in the army will also be deepened.

The leader of a general never relies on his words, but what he spells out with his sword, only what he earns on the battlefield is a solid achievement.

Yan Chen felt that what he said was feasible, and asked several other people for their opinions, and got unanimous approval: "What Wen people said is very good, and for the time being, that's all it can do."

After all, generals are aloof and arrogant, and they usually don't obey anyone. Those generals were all brought out by Xiao Chong껚, and they must be a bit arrogant. Whoever they send will cause dissatisfaction with the other three.

Besides, you can't choose one general rashly. What if you choose the wrong person and lose to the rebels?

"Who can be responsible for this matter?"

Wen Jin pondered for a moment: "You can leave it to Prince Duan."

"Prince Duan?" Yan Chen's expression changed slightly, "Why?"

He originally planned to let Wen Jin take full responsibility for this matter, but unexpectedly he actually proposed to let King Duan take over the job.

Wen Jin's tone was calm: "King Duan has nothing to do when he is free. It is his duty to relieve the emperor's worries and work."

Why?

Naturally, because King Duan Yanchen's eyes are thorny and flesh-piercing... OK, this young emperor does have a lot of people to guard against. In the final analysis, it is because of his willfulness and suspicion, and these are all gone. The late emperor.

In addition to the covetous King Yan Cang, the powerful regent Yan Cang, and the eldest princess Yan Qing whose rebellious behavior completely ignored the emperor, there are also several brothers who are also on his guard.

If you think about it carefully, this emperor is very tired, and there are not many people he can trust in the court.

Yan Chen thought for a moment and understood what Wen Jin meant, and a deep luster flashed across his eyes: "In this case, I will leave this matter to Prince Duan."

If King Duan can choose a suitable general and successfully rebel, then all the credit will belong to Hu Ben's army. If the selected general fails to rebel, then King Duan will bear the responsibility together with them.

No matter how you calculate it, you won’t suffer any loss.
