"What happened?!"
Lu Yu, who originally wanted to reprimand Lu Qin, became stunned after seeing his son crying. The first thing he thought of was that something had happened to his youngest son.
Lu Yu's son Lu Jue served as the prefect of Mount Tai.
Only if something happened to him would his son lose his temper like this.
Seeing Lu Yu asking, Lu Qin was speechless. He handed the watch in his hand to his father. Lu Yu quickly walked to him and took the letter.
Several ministers in the distance looked at each other, wondering what the father and son were up to.
Lu Yu lowered his head and read. After just one glance, his face became as pale as paper, his whole body trembled, and he lost his grip on the letter and fell directly to the ground.
Lu Yu stretched out his trembling hands to pick up the paper on the ground, but before he could bend down, blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth. He screamed in pain and fell down.
The officials were in a hurry and rushed over to help him up. Lu Qin didn't care about crying and rushed to his father's side, constantly calling his name.
Everyone sent Lu Yu into the inner room. Lu Yu didn't open his eyes at this moment, and someone went to call the imperial doctor.
"Lu Jun! What happened??"
Xunyi was the first to notice something strange and asked quickly.
Lu Qin opened his mouth, but nothing came out.
He didn't know how to tell it.
He Zeng said in his letter: A serious rebellion occurred in Hebei. The rebels attacked the county government and set fire to it. Many wealthy families in Hebei have suffered a lot, and many clans among them have also suffered unreasonable disasters.
The number of rebels was extremely large. According to He Zeng's description: nearly 100,000 people in Hebei participated in the rebellion. They claimed that the temple was unfair and wanted to attack the general and clear the emperor.
Among them were farmers, merchants, rangers, and even foreign soldiers.
The reason for their rebellion was because General Zhenbei was not strict in his military management.
That's what the letter said, but Lu Qin can probably think of why they rebelled.
Hebei was not at peace to begin with, and this time my father delayed the normal work of the Shangshutai in order to ascend to the throne, and forced everyone to recognize his jurisdiction over the Shangshutai on the grounds of the world's commonwealth. However, this delayed a lot of things.
The Shangshutai is the direct management organization. The paralysis of the Shangshutai means that all government orders in the temple will come to a standstill.
Unless local officials make their own decisions, they will not wait for orders from the Chancellor.
There is a big problem with the allocation of materials! !
"There was a rebellion in Hebei, hundreds of thousands of people."
"My people were all slaughtered by traitors"
Lu Qin said a few words and suddenly burst into tears again.
But the ministers did not comfort him at this moment. Cui Zan, the minister, jumped up suddenly. Regardless of everyone's fear, he directly picked up the letter that fell on the ground and began to read it. After just reading for a moment, Cui Zan's eyes turned red and he almost Crushed the letter in his hand.
He turned his head suddenly and looked at Lu Qin.
"Give back the life of my clan!!!"
Cui Zan roared angrily and was about to rush forward, but Xun Yi quickly stopped him.
Cui Zan was still yelling.
Cui Zan's clan also belongs to the Hebei clan, the Boling Cui clan.
The Wei and Jin Dynasties inherited the unique geopolitics of the Han Dynasty. People in the same area would stick together and gather together spontaneously, just like the Hanoi clan all attached to the Sima family. When it came to temples, this geographical division was usually based on the size of a region. It is composed of concepts, such as Kansai people, Kanto people, etc. Of course, there are many more carefully divided.
Lu Yu leads an alliance composed of many clans in Hebei.
But now, these people are suffering.
Cui Zan's clan was also conquered. Although He Zeng didn't say it was massacred, it was also mentioned that it was conquered.
Cui Zan didn't know how serious the loss was, and now he wanted to step forward and strangle Lu Yu and his son to death.
He Zeng said it tactfully, seemingly to protect the dignity of the Chancellor, but Cui Zan knew why the rebellion in Hebei suddenly intensified.
It was this Lu Yu who was eager to climb up the ladder. For his own selfish desires, everything in Shangshutai came to a standstill! !
Then the accident happened indirectly!
Looking at Cui Zan who was very excited, Lu Qin couldn't say a word.
Xunyi kept comforting him, "Cui Gong, calm down! Calm down! This is not Lu Gong's fault! It is not his fault!"
"It's not his fault, then whose fault is it?"
"I told him back then! We can't delay the spring planting! We can't delay the rewards for the border troops!!"
"He insists on acting recklessly! He is hiding in the house and not going out! Why should he hide important documents at home! If he doesn't do it himself, and he doesn't allow others to do it, it will lead to something like this!! Lu Qin!! I will never give up !!”
Cui Zan can no longer maintain his usual image at this moment.
But I didn't blame him for losing his composure at this moment. No matter who it was, they wouldn't be able to help themselves if they heard such a thing.
Something big is going to happen to the Hebei clan now!
At this moment, the ministers did not think about this matter on Master Sima.
Because here, Master Sima is already dead.
And they have a huge information asymmetry with Hebei, or Youzhou. Without fully knowing everything, what they see in a single area is different.
This is what the ancients often said: a ridge when viewed from the side and a peak from the side.
Xun Yi was very happy at the moment.
He is happy because his family is not in Hebei. Although he has many relatives in Hebei, the current situation is very beneficial to him!
Lu Yu had already established a firm foothold and successfully owned the chancellery, but as soon as the matter of forcing the people to rebel appeared, he would be doomed. The Hebei clan group would not let him go, even if it was not Lu Yu. It didn't matter if it was directly caused. As the leader of the Hebei Group, Lu Yu caused such turmoil in Hebei and he ruined it.
Lu Yu was finished, and the Lu family was ruined.
From the giant they were back then, they instantly became a small family of just a few people, no, a small family.
Even small families were regarded as enemies by the officials in Hebei.
Counting his daughter and grandson, there are only seven people.
At least within a hundred years, they will basically be unable to hold their heads up.
Xun Yi quickly looked around, "Take Mr. Cui down quickly!"
The Chancellor's desk at this moment was really in chaos.
When the officials heard the news, the first thing they thought of was the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
The rebellion that also first broke out in Hebei was a nightmare for many wealthy families. A group of untouchables wearing yellow scarves broke into one county after another, massacred officials, and burned the forts of one aristocratic family after another, sweeping the world.
There are also many wealthy people from Hebei who are shouting at this moment, some even fainted with excitement.
There was chaos in the Chancery, but Xun Yi hurriedly said: "Everyone! Don't be anxious!"
"Let us inform the Queen Mother about this first, and worry about the ministers to put down the rebellion as soon as possible. We must not allow another rebellion."
"Report!!!"
At this moment, a small official rushed into the house in a hurry and shouted: "Yanzhou comes to the table!"
The Chancellor's desk suddenly fell silent. Xun Yi rushed forward and snatched the letter. Could it be that the rebellion was not just in Hebei? ?
When Xun Yi saw Deng Ai's letter, his eyes darkened.
Deng Ai's letter was more detailed than He Zeng's. He informed the temple that many rebellions had taken place in and around Yanzhou. Because of the actions of Shangshutai, rebels were everywhere!
He asked the temple to establish a general as soon as possible, summon the Chinese army, and call for levies in four towns to quell the rebellions in various places, so that the Yellow Turban incident would not happen again.
Several counties in Yanzhou were also hit, but fortunately those clans did not suffer too serious a blow. Although they were attacked, it was not as serious as the direct annihilation of the clans like in Hebei.
Xunyi couldn't sit still immediately.
"Quick, quick, prepare the carriage!! Head to the palace!!"
When the officials rushed to the palace in a hurry, Queen Mother Guo was listening to Cao Mao's anecdotes.
Cao Mao has already taken Sima Ku to Sima Shi's mansion.
Of course, he also confirmed the fact that Master Sima was dead.
Cao Mao could finally let go of his hands and feet, and no longer had to be as restrained as before. The threat to him from the temple ministers was far less than that of Sima Shi.
Of course, in terms of destructive power, they are much more powerful than Sima Division.
And Cao Mao currently doesn't have a good way to subdue his ministers.
After the death of Master Sima, Cao Mao even had a great ambition.
He wants to go to court.
This visit to the court does not mean that Cao Mao wants to formally govern the court, but that he wants to sit in the upper position and listen to the officials' governance of the world.
But even such a humble request is difficult to achieve.
Even Wang Xiang disagreed with Cao Mao's idea and believed that Cao Mao should focus on his studies at the moment and should not be distracted by these things.
In response, Cao Mao could only sneer.
It's not that they are afraid of worrying about their studies, they see themselves as troubles. The ministers are competing for power, but no one takes the initiative to get close to them and want to support them. Why is this?
Because all the ministers knew in their hearts that the emperor's interests were different from theirs.
They even conflict in many places.
They can cooperate with the Queen Mother Guo who has no conflict of interest, but they cannot help the emperor who has a conflict. Therefore, although they will not intimidate themselves like Sima Shi, their days in the future will definitely not be easy.
In addition, Cao Mao cannot completely say that these ministers are not a threat, but there is no threat at the moment.
When the power of the ministers reaches a certain level, there will usually be many side effects. A typical side effect is that the monarch is easily soluble in water.
After all, there are many rivers near Luoyang. Even if you don't go out, you have to wash up in the palace, right?
Cao Mao still had to be careful not to fall out with these people at will, at least not until he had mastered certain "swimming skills."
Cao Mao sat next to the Queen Mother and told interesting stories from various places, which made Queen Mother Guo laugh repeatedly.
Mr. Guo stood not far away, looking at the emperor, and felt inexplicably that the emperor was competing with him for work.
At this moment, the ministers had gathered outside the Zhaoyang Palace.
"Queen Mother!!!"
