Datang: Dad, I really didn't want to rebel!

Chapter 102 That's Your Fault
Chapter 132 That's Your Fault
Yangzhou, the governor's mansion.

Jiang Yan, the governor, was lying on his side on the soft couch, with a look of joy on his eyebrows that could not be concealed.

A few days ago, because Du Chuke maliciously belittled Li Chengqian, king of Guizhou, Li Shimin finally took off his black hat and was demoted as the county magistrate of Qianhua.

The position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry was replaced by Li Daliang, the former minister of the Ministry of Industry, and the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry was vacant.

The minister of the Ministry of Industry is the fourth rank, one rank lower than the governor of Zhongzhou, but the treatment between local officials and central officials is different.

Since ancient times, in order to highlight the status of central officials, all central officials are automatically promoted to a higher level after they go to the local area.

Therefore, even if the minister of the Ministry of Industry is one level lower than him, the governor of Zhongzhou, it is a rare opportunity for Jiang Yan.

Because if you can be appointed as the minister of the Ministry of Industry, it means that you are eligible to enter the court to participate in the court meeting.

The court is the core of the power of the Tang Dynasty, and all imperial edicts that benefit the country and the people are issued from there.

Therefore, a fifth-rank official in the court is even more rare than a local third-rank official!

Moreover, it is by no means easy to transfer from a local official to Chang'an City.

This opportunity was obtained by Li Tai's hard work.

Du Chuke was one of Li Tai's important supporters. With his sudden dismissal, Li Tai lost a right-hand man, so he had to stop losses in time.

In the end, he won the position of minister of the Ministry of Industry.

As for why it was given to Jiang Yan, it was because...he really didn't have many people who could use it.

Many people in the court are from the lineage of King Wei, but they were promoted too quickly, and it would be inappropriate to be promoted again.

In the end, he could only focus on local officials who supported him.

After choosing and choosing, Jiang Yan was decided.

Because Jiang Yan has been the governor of Yangzhou for several years, and he has managed Yangzhou very well. It is absolutely impossible for him to develop a lower state into a central state if he has no ability.

Therefore, there was no objection to choosing Jiang Yan, because his qualifications were there.

"Ah, beautiful!"

Thinking that he would be able to work in Beijing soon, Jiang Yan felt that the world was becoming better.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

At this moment, there was a dull drum sound outside.

Jiang Yan put away his messy thoughts, and his expression became serious, "What's going on?"

A guard ran in in embarrassment, crying, "Lord Inspector, something is wrong, outside... suddenly thousands of bandits came outside to attack the city!"

"Thousands of bandits?" Jiang Yan was shocked, "Where are there so many?"

"It seems that the bandits from several places have come. There are too many people, and the brothers can't bear it!" The guard shouted.

Jiang Yan's face turned pale, and he said immediately: "Send a team of people to escort the people to leave through the back door, and the rest, go to the city gate with me to fight against the enemy!"

"No, my lord." The guard wept sadly, "The general has sent someone to check the back door, and there are also robbers."

Pfft!
Jiang Yan's body softened and he slumped on the soft couch.

But after a while, his face regained his determination, "Quickly, transfer all the guards in Yangzhou to the head of the city, and we must not let the bandits break through Yangzhou. In addition, immediately send people to Jinzhou and Liangzhou to find rescuers." !"

After all, Jiang Yan had experienced strong winds and waves, so he quickly adjusted his mood, and then quickly began to deploy troops and deploy strategies for defending the city.

The whole of Yangzhou became busy in an instant, and the shouts of soldiers could be heard throughout the city.

...

At the head of Yangzhou City, there are many people, but if you look closely, you will find that the faces of the guards are pale and full of tension.

To be honest, although there are many bandits outside the city of Yangzhou, they have not invaded Yangzhou for many years.

Because Yangzhou's geographical location is not bad, it is in a triangle with Jinzhou and Liangzhou. If something happens to one side, the defenders of the other two states can immediately support it.

It is because of this that we dare not have bandits and robbers come to Yangzhou to make trouble, at most they will rob some small villages.

Therefore, Yangzhou has been at ease for many years. It is precisely because of this that today there are so many bandits attacking suddenly, which makes people so frightened.

Looking at the guards who couldn't even hold their weapons steadily, Jiang Yan sighed inwardly.

In recent years, Yangzhou has been booming, but it is also too stable, which makes the guards and the people lose their fighting spirit.

This battle is difficult!

Jiang Yan smiled wryly, then turned his eyes to the distance.

Under the city wall, there was a dense mass of darkness, and it was estimated that there were 5000 to [-] people.

And look at their fierce eyes, and compare them with the people behind me.

It is completely one day and one place, how should we fight this battle?

"My lord, what should we do?" Shi Shifu, the governor's chief, said in a trembling voice.

Jiang Yan's face was gloomy, and then he turned his attention to those bandits, "Who is the speaker?"

Hearing his words, a burly man came out from the crowd, looked up at him, and laughed wantonly: "Jiang Jiang, do you still remember me?"

Jiang Yan stared at him, his eyes froze, and he said in amazement: "You...you are Chen Yu?"

"That's right, Governor Jiang. Back then, I was going to Chang'an to rush for the exam. You didn't agree, and you said I was out of my mind. Today, I will make you pay for your words!"

As the big man spoke, his face became more ferocious.

Hearing this, Jiang Yan was even more bitter.

This Chen Yu was originally a village tribute, that is, someone who did not study in the central government school or the local government school.

Chen Yu is a butcher, you heard me right, a butcher who kills pigs.

A few years ago, a fellow from the same village, Gong Gong, passed the imperial examination and became a county magistrate, which made Chen Yu envious.

So Chen Yu used the money from killing pigs to find a master and ask him to teach him to read and write.

After studying for two years, Chen Yu didn't know where the courage came from. He felt that he could do it, so he ran to the Governor's Mansion, intending to apply for the scientific examination in Chang'an.

As you can imagine, he didn't even pass the state exam, let alone go to Chang'an to take the scientific exam.

Chen Yu, who was dismissed in this way, felt that he was full of money and wanted to serve the country but had no chance, so his enthusiasm turned into resentment, and then he began to retaliate against the society.

After studying for several years, and with the refreshment of being a butcher, Chen Yu soon became the boss of the neighborhood.

At the same time, he gathered all the nearby bandit forces together, and then told the bosses a bold idea.

That's why not take down Yangzhou and become a hero on one side?
At first the bosses didn't agree, what a joke, the bandits went to attack the city, this is not looking for annihilation.

but…

Chen Yu's two years of reading books are not in vain, he may not have the strength of scientific research, but it is more than enough to fool these bandit leaders whose heads are no bigger than walnuts.

Under Chen Yu's MLM-like propaganda, these bandit leaders fell, and as soon as they clapped their hands, they led their brothers and prepared to take Yangzhou.

This is why the bandits gathered in Yangzhou!
"Chen Yu!" Jiang Yan stared at him, "Your own strength is not enough, even if I recommend you to go to Chang'an, you don't have the strength to take the scientific examination!"

"I do not care!"

Chen Yu shook his hand vigorously, gritted his teeth and looked at him, "It's your fault if you don't let me go, anyway, this matter is endless!"

"... "

Jiang Yan felt very tired chatting with such an unreasonable person.

"Okay, hit it!"

The failure of the negotiation means that the war has begun.

Amidst Chen Yu's wanton laughter, thousands of bandits rushed towards the city of Yangzhou...
