My heart trembled, Surabaya County! Surabaya Pavilion? ! Liu Bang? ! ! ! I couldn't help but feel frightened.
If Liu Bang causes trouble, it may be much more difficult to deal with than Xiang Yu!
Seeing Ge Yue's panic, I didn't know what was going on, but suddenly an unknown fire arose in my heart, and I shouted in a deep voice: "How unbecoming is it to panic! Report in detail!"
Ge Yue's body trembled, he forced himself to adjust his emotions, and reported: "Your Majesty, I have just received an express report from Sishui County. When the officials who were inspecting the land were measuring the land in Sishui Pavilion, they were suddenly besieged by the head of Sishui Pavilion, killing four people. Officials and a censor died on the spot!"
I frowned. Although five officials died, it was still nothing compared to Liu Bang's rebellion. I felt a little at ease.
But when I looked at Ge Yue, he was also a man who had experienced strong winds and waves. If only five people had died, he wouldn't be like this.
"anything else?"
Ge Yue's voice trembled a little, and he said solemnly: "Your Majesty is wise. When the warehouse officials who were traveling with him saw the riot in the head of Guizhou, they immediately left secretly and reported it to the county lieutenant Li Zhong. Seeing that the situation was urgent, Li Zhong led the soldiers directly without reporting the county magistrate. Rush to Surabaya Pavilion."
"Subsequently...there was a conflict between the county soldiers and the heads of Guizhou. Li Zhong ordered...ordered to kill all the heads of Guizhou who resisted arrest on the spot...the casualties were about...about 200 people. That night, Li Zhong disappeared...so far. could not find it."
Hearing this, veins popped up on my forehead. I swept the memorial on the table to the ground, making a crackling sound, and shouted angrily: "Trash! Trash! Go! Go!! Find this Li Zhong for me and put him there." He was cut into pieces!"
I stood up suddenly, pulled out the Lu Lu sword behind me, and slashed at the low table with the sword.
Ge Yue was trembling all over, lowering his head and not daring to say a word. Lan'er next to me turned pale with fright. She had never seen me like this before.
It wasn't until I chopped down the table frames in the hall that the whole place was in a mess, and the peace in the hall slowly returned.
After calming down, I had to think about how to deal with this matter.
You know, how much energy I spent to slowly calm down the people of the world. Now, I am afraid that remote places have heard about the massacre of people before they know what I have done. Good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles!
It happened at this juncture, and it happened at Surabaya Pavilion! This Li Zhong is really a fool! It is possible that all my efforts will be in vain because of him.
I forced myself to calm down. The most urgent thing at the moment was to calm down the matter as soon as possible, and then slowly investigate whether there was anyone with ulterior motives behind it. Li Zhong disappeared after killing someone. This matter may not be that simple.
"Go and call Li Si, Feng Quji and Bai Tu." I said solemnly.
Just as Qi Wan was about to go out, she saw Xing Zhong walking over in a hurry, cupping his hands and saying, "Your Majesty, there are rebels in Surabaya County!"
One wave is not over, another wave is rising!
Xing Zhong continued: "I came to report that since the massacre of the people in Sishui Pavilion, a rebellion has formed in just three days. Now the rebels have captured Pei County, with tens of thousands of people."
I asked the most important question: "Who is the leader of the rebels?"
"Liu Bang!"
Hearing the answer I least wanted to hear, I rubbed my temples: "Where's the watch list I gave you?! There's no Liu Bang in it?!"
Xingzhong replied: "Your Majesty, Liu Bang is on the list. The Surabaya Clean Room has been monitoring it, but I didn't expect that this man suddenly came down and became the leader of the rebels. I have neglected my duty, and I beg your Majesty to convict him!"
"Going down the mountain?" I asked doubtfully.
"Liu Bang has been hiding in Mangdang Mountain since he secretly released his soldiers last year and turned into a bandit."
…
"Why don't you report such an important matter to me?"
"This... there are many people on the list. I thought this person was nothing special, so I did not report the details to His Majesty."
Big brother? Liu Bang is nothing special? The only reason to blame is that you don’t know the history of future generations! It's terrible to be uneducated...
At this point I was powerless to complain. I also blame myself. I was immersed in the matters of amending laws and promoting agriculture a few days ago. I was confused by the short-lived scene of stability and did not pay too much attention to the rebels in the late Qin Dynasty.
Then I waved my hand and told them to wait aside until the two prime ministers arrived.
Not long after, the three of them came hand in hand. After listening to Xing Zhong and Ge Yue's retelling, the three of them were also shocked.
"Now that things have happened, I have three things for you to do."
I looked at Bai Tu: "You immediately order Zhang Han to rush from Yunzhong County to Sishui County, appoint Zhang Han as the general, and order the left guard Qi Liang to lead 30,000 troops from Guanzhong to Sishui County, meet Zhang Han and hand over the seal Commander Han."
Bai Tu hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, although Zhang Han is now a captain, he has been at the border for a long time and has no experience in commanding a large army. I am worried..."
I narrowed my eyes: "I have made a decision!"
The land inventory is against me, and I even want to comment on the appointment of generals. I'm afraid this person will not be retained!
Bai Tu reluctantly accepted the order.
"Prime Minister Feng, you order Sishui County Governor Ji Zhuang to clear the country and defend with all his strength. He cannot take the initiative to fight the rebels. When Zhang Han arrives, he will listen to Zhang Han's orders. You will take care of the army's logistics supply."
"Prime Minister Li, you ordered Meng Yi to set off with the army and carefully investigate the cause of the rebellion after the rebellion was put down. Li Zhong disappeared after massacring the people, so there must be someone behind it. In addition, you sent people to announce the world as quickly as possible and give oral instructions The levy has been reduced from half to half to 31.”
Li Si was a little worried after hearing this. The empire's tax sources were land rent, oral taxes and miscellaneous taxes. Most of the land was in the hands of the nobles, and they received limited taxes and not many miscellaneous taxes. They mainly relied on oral taxes to collect taxes. You have to pay taxes as long as you live. Directly reduced from one half to one third...
However, Li Si never refutes my decision, and he also knows that this method is a last resort to stabilize the people's sentiments. Seeing that my attitude today didn't seem like I wanted to listen to their suggestions, I accepted the order and said yes.
After a few people retreated, Ji Zhuang's detailed report was also presented.
Looking at the familiar names, Xiao He, Fan Kuai, Cao Shen..., I no longer have the worry and anger I felt just now.
Being able to compete with these heroes who have left their names in history, even if Da Qin is really overthrown by these people, they will die without regrets.
Moreover, I won't let them gain momentum so easily. My advantage is that I know each of their experiences and can analyze their personality and behavior.
I stood up and walked out of the Sihai Palace, looked at the Xianyang Palace in front of me, and couldn't help but recite the "Song of the Great Wind" with great ambition: "The strong wind is blowing, the clouds are flying, the powerful warriors are returning to their hometown, and the warriors are guarding the four directions!"
A heroic spirit burst out as I finished speaking: 'For the ill-fated Fusu, and for myself who came to this world inexplicably, let us see who will win in this world! '
