She didn't want to listen to Song Xingzhi anymore.

If she keeps talking, she will be really embarrassed to give advice to Song Xingzhi again.

"Okay, second brother, go and do your business. I'm just a family member. Then you can find those old doctors and see what they say. They have many disciples and should be more experienced. "

Song Xingzhi knew that his little sister was embarrassed, so he stopped talking and nodded with a smile.

But I secretly decided in my heart that no matter what I do in the future, I must first ask my little sister for her opinion.

His little sister is still very smart, at least better than him.

Thinking like this, Song Xingzhi left quickly.

In March, the Li family rebelled, and Li He led his army to surrender to the northern enemy. Together with the northern enemy general He Lianjin, he attacked from left to right and defeated ten cities in a row. The army was stationed under Pingyun County.

In April, there was civil turmoil in Youzhou. Due to the inaction of the local government, the civil riot escalated into civilian thieves. All the rioters gathered together and gradually became more and more powerful. They broke into houses and looted homes, making the people miserable.

In May, there was a sudden drought in the east. The Jiangnan area, which originally had plenty of rain, did not rain for a month. The earth was cracked into wounds by the scorching sun. The farmers finally found some water and were reluctant to drink it. They all fell to the ground. , but could not save the crops that should have been harvested.

In June, the Turks from the west suddenly led a large army to attack Tuyuhun. Tuyuhun was a small tribe close to the Western Regions. Although there were not many people, Tuyuhun had always been loyal to Dayuan and had never been disloyal, even when the Dayuan Dynasty was in turmoil. , and they pay tribute every year, never missing a single star.

When fighting the northern enemy in the north of Dayuan Dynasty, Tuyuhun sent an envoy to ask if he needed help. Although he was rejected in the end, his intentions were commendable.

It can be called the most loyal subordinate country of Dayuan.

But just two months later, when they were attacked by the Turks, Tuyuhun sent people to the capital to ask for help from the emperor, but Emperor Duanming refused.

Emperor Duanming actually didn't want to help Tuyuhun.

In fact, he had to fight against the enemy in the north and deal with the civil unrest in Youzhou at the same time. He really couldn't do both.

In addition, the national treasury is empty. If you want support, you have to spend money. Where can he get so much money now?

Tuyuhun is just a small border country with a population of only a few thousand people. Even if he doesn't help him, what can he do?

The king of Tuyuhun realized that there was no hope. Although he was beaten by the Turkic army and retreated all the way, and the troops came to the city, he still refused to surrender. He committed suicide in his palace. Before his death, he left instructions for the prince to lead his ministers. and the army surrendered to the Turks.

As the king, he cannot surrender, but the princes don't care.

As a result, Tuyuhun was completely swallowed up into Xixia.

At the same time, civil unrest also broke out in Yazhou in the south of the same year.

It is said that because Yazhou is adjacent to the sea in the east, half of them usually rely on the sea to survive, and the other half go to the Jiangnan area to buy food and bring it back for sale. The local people live a rich and prosperous life.

But this year, due to the weakness of Dayuan, the discipline of the border troops was in disarray, and the court could not issue food and salary, many troops there rebelled. After the rebellion, they had no source of money, so they turned their butcher's knives on the people.

The common people worked hard to fish, and most of the boats were often captured by them. It was not uncommon for men to bully men and women. Even if they reported it to the officials, the officials would do it perfunctory because they had knives and troops in their hands. The government officials were no match for them.

But forget it, because this group of people robbed too much, the people were no longer willing to go fishing, so they went ashore to rob, and every time they robbed, all the places they robbed were empty, and they implemented the empty city plan.

The people were so panicked that they sent people to negotiate with their leader, but the other party asked them to pay 50 taels of silver per month if they went out to sea to fish, and 30 taels of silver if they did not go to sea. The goods can also be offset.

Oh my god, where did they get so much money?

In the past, every time I went fishing, even if it was a bumper harvest, I could only sell it for three or four taels of silver at most, or 50 taels a month. That meant I had to go fishing every day, and there was a bumper harvest every day, which was not enough to earn the rent they wanted.

If you don’t fish, you just farm, you need to plant 30 taels?

That is simply a joke!

Who doesn't know that Yazhou is close to the sea, and the land has been soaked into saline-alkali land, which is not suitable for growing food. Otherwise, if they want to eat food, they don't need to rely on merchants to go all the way to Jiangnan to buy it.

But now, the other party actually wants 30 taels. Wouldn't this cost them their lives?

Would you rather be a king, a general, or a minister?

I can't survive because I'm so stupid, I have no choice but to rebel!

As a result, the army in Yazhou forced the people to rebel. When the government saw this, no one took sides. Instead, they took away Jingyin Xiruan in the government overnight and fled.

After this incident spread, it was simply ridiculous.

Pei Qingyan was furious when he got the news.

"Are the people from the Embroidery Department? Are they all dead? There was a civil unrest in the area, and all the people from the government fled. How did they supervise the officials?!"

Wu Que sighed helplessly.

"They are also very aggrieved. Previously, the magistrate Yun showed no signs of trying to escape. His daughter also held a full moon banquet. There were not many people in our yamen staying there, so he invited them all to attend. His daughter's full moon party was held. Who knew that the full moon party was just a cover? They drugged the wine and all our people were drugged and fainted. They took advantage of this and tied them all into the cellar and sealed them up. , and then escaped. It was already the second day when our people woke up. If we want to pursue this place where there is civil turmoil everywhere, where can we go? We can only write a letter and come back to report to your lord. In addition, I have sent people there. , inform General Huang who is stationed near Yazhou to help them quell the chaos among the civilians."

Pei Qingyan's face looked cold.

After all, it was only because of their carelessness that they fell into such a clumsy trick, which led to the situation like this.

He said in a deep voice: "Have you ever reported the matter in Yazhou to His Majesty?"

Wu Que lowered his head slightly, "At the same time that I received the news, a fast horse went directly to the direction of the imperial city. His Majesty Xiangbi must have known about it."

Letting the local magistrate go is the fault of the Embroidery Department for its incompetent supervision.

Pei Qingyan thought for a while, went back to his room, changed his clothes, and said to Wu Que: "I'll leave the affairs of the Secretary to you for the time being. I'll go into the palace."

"Yes."

Wu Que knew what he wanted to do when he entered the palace, but he had no choice but to sigh helplessly.

in the palace.

Emperor Duanming was sitting on the dragon chair, listening to the report from the spies below.

Just listen to the spy say: "The embroidery department of Yazhou has failed to supervise the inspection, and was actually drugged by the prefect. All the people in the government office fled. Now Yazhou is without a master. When the frontier troops rebelled, they Coupled with the civil unrest, the attack all the way to the north is likely to cause a catastrophe. It is reported that they have hijacked tens of thousands of civilian thieves from the initial three thousand, and are now heading towards Dongyang County."
