Chapter 300

The following year, May.

Liu Cheng, Huo Dingwen and Yan Shichun walked into the empress' alchemy room at the same time.

The three said in unison.

"See Your Majesty."

Seeing three people meeting at the same time, Jiang Qingying realized that the matter was not simple.

"what's up?"

Both Liu Cheng and Yan Shichun remained silent, while looking at Huo Dingwen who was standing in the middle.

Huo Dingwen stepped forward and said bluntly.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Guangling Road, Huainan Road, Longyou Road, and Shannan Road are full of rebels, and hundreds of thousands of people have gathered in the pass.

Your Majesty, please give an order to mobilize the army in the north to suppress the rebellion. "

"what?"

Jiang Qingying stood up suddenly, not even caring about the pills in the pill furnace.

"Where do so many rebels come from?"

Huo Dingwen looked at Liu Cheng and Yan Shichun beside him, and indicated that it was time for them to talk.

But Liu Cheng and Yan Shichun just pretended not to see them, they lowered their heads and said nothing.

Seeing this, Huo Dingwen could only continue talking.

"Before the Great Chu, there were disaster-stricken places in various places, but the disaster situation was not so serious.

This year is another severe drought, and refugees are everywhere. These people gathered together with the intention of intimidating the capital. "

Jiang Qingying stared at Huo Dingwen, a little puzzled.

"Since it is a disaster, why not go to the disaster relief?"

"Your Majesty, the treasury has run out of money."

"what?"

Huo Dingwen explained.

"Your Majesty, the conquest of the Three Kingdoms has almost exhausted the treasury.

Years ago, there were successive blizzards in the North, and the people of the Northern Qi Dynasty suffered heavy losses. The imperial court wanted to provide disaster relief.

There is a severe drought in many places in Dachu, and I have to provide disaster relief. The treasury has no money to continue to take out. "

The larger the place, the more people they manage.

The people of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Liang Kingdom, and the Northern Qi Dynasty have all become the people of the Great Chu.

Therefore, no matter where the disaster is, they have to take care of it.

Taxes from all over the country have not yet been collected, but the court has to keep taking money out, no matter how much money it has, it can't stand it.

Hearing this, Jiang Qingying said immediately.

"My internal treasury, I can take out the money in the internal treasury, and you first use it for disaster relief."

Huo Dingwen said hurriedly.

"Your Majesty, now that the refugees are threatening the capital, it is no longer the time to consider disaster relief."

"Why didn't you report this to me earlier?"

Hearing this, Liu Cheng finally spoke.

"Your Majesty, there are too many disaster-affected places, even if you take out the inner library, it's not enough."

On the side, Yan Shichun also spoke.

"Moreover, this time the anti-thieves gathered very fast, as if someone was behind the push."

Saying that, he still didn't forget to take a look at Huo Dingwen.

In fact, both he and Liu Cheng know who is behind the scenes.

The implementation of the New Deal across the country has harmed the interests of many people, especially the powerful Western Zhou clan.

Behind this refugee riot, there is the shadow of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Furthermore, Huo Dingwen's new policy was tried out among officials all over the country, and it received a lot of backlash.

Those officials felt that they were getting less money, so they intensified their efforts to squeeze the people.

Therefore, the trend of corruption has become more serious than before.

It's not that he didn't want to tell the Empress about these things, but that the Empress simply couldn't listen.

Looking back now, today's situation was doomed from the moment Li Yunsheng left the capital.

If Li Yunsheng hadn't left, maybe he wouldn't be where he is now.

Jiang Qingying took a deep breath.

"In that case, let's mobilize the northern army to quell the chaos first."

……

north.

The moment Wang He received the imperial edict, his hands trembled unconsciously.

"Order all the soldiers to immediately prepare to pull out the camp and rush to the capital to suppress the rebellion!"

On the side, the deputy general walked to Wang He and said in a low voice.

"General, should we prepare?"

They didn't have any preparations for food, equipment, etc., how could 10 people pull out of the camp as soon as they said it would.

"Fu Long!"

The lieutenant immediately cupped his fists.

"The end is here!"

"Are you the general or am I the general?"

Hearing this, Fu Long also understood what it meant, and said loudly.

"I would like to obey the general's military order, and immediately prepare to pull out the camp and rush to the capital to suppress the rebellion!"

Wang He nodded in satisfaction.

"Your Majesty is in danger, so you must arrive at the capital as soon as possible.

Those refugees are just a group of rabble, and they are not vulnerable at all. "

"As ordered!"

After finishing speaking, Fu Long quickly exited the tent.

In just half a month, Wang He hurriedly marched to the capital.

Jiang Qingying stood on the top of the city, looking at the hundreds of thousands of refugees in front of him, Jiang Qingying felt a little heartache.

These people are just ordinary people, but they ended up on such a road.

She didn't want to involve hundreds of thousands of people because of a plan to lure King Qin out.

If she had known it would be like this, she would have gone to the state of Jin to ask that guy for help.

As soon as Li Yunsheng left, Da Chu was in a lot of trouble. She didn't know if it was because that guy knew it would happen a long time ago.

After all, she clearly remembered that Li Yunsheng was a prophet when there was a severe drought in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

However, on the first day of the siege by the rebel army, Wang He arrived.

Facing the northern iron cavalry, the rebel army was defeated with one blow, and then defeated.

In just five days, the rebellion was suppressed by Wang Heping.

Shangshu province.

Huo Dingwen couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"General Wang, you really are brave and good at fighting!"

He had just finished expressing his feelings when Wang Li ran in in a panic.

"Something is bad!"

"What made you panic like this?"

"General Wang enters the city!"

"Harmful!" Huo Dingwen didn't take it seriously, "This time she broke the siege of the capital and made a great contribution, so naturally she has to enter the palace to receive the reward."

Wang Li stomped his feet anxiously.

"No, General Wang led his troops into the city!"

"Lead the army?" Huo Dingwen didn't realize the seriousness of the matter at this time, "Is this approved by His Majesty?"

"Of course not!" Wang Li continued, "Wang He led his troops to surround the palace without authorization, saying that he wanted the Qing emperor to side."

"Who is he going to clear?"

Wang Li paused, staring at Huo Dingwen's eyes and said.

"you."

"what?"

"Wang He said that you have cholera, and you have to explain to the people in the world."

Huo Dingwen reacted immediately.

"Wang He wants to rebel?"

Seeing that he finally understood, Wang Li nodded solemnly.

"He is playing the banner of the Qing emperor, but he actually wants to rebel."

"How is this possible? Your Majesty trusts him so much, yet he wants to rebel?"

At this time, Huo Dingwen was completely panicked. He paced on the spot, and then looked in the direction of the palace.

"Follow me into the palace!"

Wang Li grabbed him.

"Now the palace has been besieged. Before you enter the house, you will be torn to pieces by Wang He's men."

"How dare he?!"

Wang Li took his hand and walked out immediately.

"It's not safe here, and Wang He will probably send someone to arrest you soon, find a place to hide first.

You can come out again after the limelight of this incident has passed. "

"No!" Huo Dingwen shook off the Wang official's hand, "Since he wants to clear the king's side, then I will go to see him and clear me. I will see if he has any reason to rebel."
