"coming!"
Empress Liang Zhao's heart moved, and she was fully integrated into the pictures and words. Since the person on the dragon chair was herself, she had a strong sense of involvement. With just a slight change of thought, she seemed to really be sitting on the dragon chair. , and she in the picture became one.
[For a time, the entire court was in an uproar, and whispers continued, as if everyone was shocked by the audacity and lawlessness of Qingzhou Prefect Zhang Qi! 】
[You actually dare to touch the national grain reserves? Don't want to die? 】
[Only you are not surprised by all this. 】
【Bah bang bang! 】
[The eunuch cracked his whip and knocked on the ground three times, interrupting the discussion of the courtiers. 】
[Eunuch: Be quiet! quiet! 】
[You: Zhang Qi, the governor of Qingzhou, acted arrogantly and enriched himself. He deserves to be punished for his crime... Minister of the Ministry of War! 】
[Wu Shangyong, Minister of the Ministry of War: I am here. 】
[You: I order you to mobilize 30,000 troops from the surrounding states and counties and be on standby at any time. If Zhang Qi has any objection, he can kill him on the spot! 】
[Wu Shangyong, Minister of the Ministry of War: I obey the decree. 】
[You: Feng Aiqing. 】
[Supervisory censor Feng Qian: I am here. 】
[You: You know the situation in Qingzhou better. It’s up to you to make another trip and cooperate with officials from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple to capture Zhang Qi and his accomplices for strict investigation! 】
[Remaining officials: I obey the order. 】
[The civil and military officials were in awe of your vigorous and resolute performance, and their eyes changed slightly. 】
"Yes, that's how it should be!"
Empress Liang Zhao looked at this scene and smiled with satisfaction. She felt very happy and extremely enjoyable!
This is the picture in her dream: to rule the country and speak the truth, all civil and military ministers respect and fear her, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, singing and dancing in peace.
But at this moment, a figure walked out of the screen.
[Zhou Zhenwen: Your Majesty, I also want to go with the army. 】
"Um?"
"What kind of son does Zhou Zhenwen want to have?"
Empress Liang Zhao frowned slightly, her heart skipping a beat. She knew this person's strength, so she might have other intentions when she spoke out this time.
[You: Bachelor Zhou, the cabinet is busy with internal affairs, and some government affairs require your assistance. It is better to stay in the capital. 】
[You refused Zhou Zhenwen’s request. 】
"Yes, you should reject him!"
Empress Liang Zhao is appreciative of her behavior!
In the face of instability, it would be safer to leave the capital alone.
In the case of Qingzhou, with thirty thousand troops standing by as a deterrent, there will be no trouble.
Yes, even in this situation, Empress Liang Zhao doesn't think that a mere Qingzhou prefect Zhang Qi can change the world?
There are many soldiers and horses in Qingzhou, but most of them are in various counties, border defense towns, and dangerous passes. The number of soldiers and horses that can be mobilized in Qingzhou City is only 10,000 at most.
There were only 10,000 people, but Wu Shangyong, Minister of War, led 30,000 people to frighten them. How could Zhang Qi dare to hit an egg against a stone?
However, what happens next is far beyond your expectation.
[The next day, as soon as Wu Shangyong, Minister of War, and other ministers left the capital, a figure on horseback with a flag flying into the capital rushed into the capital, running wildly on the street, heading straight to the palace. 】
[Report! 】
【Eight hundred miles urgent! ! 】
[A soldier wearing armor, holding a secret letter in his hand, ran into the Golden Palace. 】
[The expression of Yan Zuo, the left minister of the Ministry of War, changed. Knowing that this matter was of great importance, he quickly said: Your Majesty, this is an urgent document from 800 miles away. I'm afraid something big will happen! 】
[You also know the importance of this matter and ordered: Submit the document! 】
[When you open the secret message document, your expression changes completely. 】
[There is not much content in the document. To sum it up, it is just one sentence: Zhang Qi, the governor of Qingzhou, has launched an army to rebel! All counties and counties in Qingzhou responded one after another. Qingzhou was in chaos! ! 】
"What?"
Empress Liang looked at the contents of the document and felt dizzy. She had no idea that Zhang Qi was so crazy?
In such a short period of time, they started a rebellion?
"Qingzhou Incident?"
"Is this the Qingzhou Incident?"
Empress Liang looked at the simulated scene with mixed feelings in her heart.
She thought that after knowing the future direction and planning in advance, she could prevent the famine in Qingzhou, save the innocent people of Qingzhou, and punish corrupt officials!
But he didn't expect that it would be self-defeating, causing the Qingzhou prefect to jump over the wall and directly rebel?
"How did that happen?"
"Isn't this reaction too fast?"
“How could something like rebellion get support from various counties so quickly?”
"Even if Zhang Qi has a deep foundation in Qingzhou, it is impossible for him to control every county?"
"Rebellion is a fool's errand. He embezzled the grain reserves in the country's granary, so he had to rebel, but the county guards, lieutenants, and magistrates all died?"
"strangeness!"
"Too strange!"
Empress Liang Zhao kept mumbling to herself, her heart filled with doubts and confusion.
It’s not a time of chaos now?
Heroes from all over the country have risen together, waiting to divide the wilderness?
At this moment, although it is not a prosperous age, people everywhere can afford to eat and wear clothes. I have never increased taxes or harshly criticized the people. Under such circumstances, how can the rebellion get the support of so many people?
Empress Liang Zhao really couldn't figure it out and frowned, but the scene in front of her eyes was still changing...
[Yan Zuo, the left minister of the Ministry of War, saw that you looked wrong and asked quickly: Your Majesty, something happened in Qingzhou? 】
[When the civil and military officials heard this, they also turned their attention to you, waiting for your answer. 】
[You knew that this matter could not be kept secret for long, so you nodded immediately: Qingzhou rebelled. 】
[As soon as these words came out, there was a brief silence in the entire Jinluan Palace, and all the civil and military officials were frightened by the news! 】
[None of them expected that Qingzhou would actually rebel? 】
[This Zhang Qi really dares to rebel? 】
[Yan Zuo, the left minister of the Ministry of War; Your Majesty, Zhang Qi, the governor of Qingzhou, has rebelled. This matter is of great importance. Please order your Majesty to have Yanzhou and Xuzhou immediately send troops to conquer and kill the rebels! 】
[You are a little at a loss and just want to agree. 】
[Zhou Zhenwen strode out, holding the court board in hand, and said loudly: This must not be done! 】
[Zhou Zhenwen’s voice was loud and loud, like a thunder, shocking everyone present! 】
[You: Why not? 】
[Zhou Zhenwen: Your Majesty, Yanzhou and Xuzhou are important border defense areas. They have shouldered the important task of fighting against the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Jie, Di, Qiang and other foreign tribes since ancient times. The hasty deployment of troops at this moment will inevitably lead to insufficient border defenders. In the event of a foreign invasion, the result will be The external troubles must be greater than the internal ones! 】
[This is a plan to drive away tigers and devour wolves. The result will definitely be that the tigers are more in danger than the wolves. Please think twice, Your Majesty! 】
[As soon as these words came out, many courtiers nodded and raised their boards, agreeing with Zhou Zhenwen's words. 】
[Of course, there are also objections. 】
[Yan Zuo, the left minister of the Ministry of War: Your Majesty, what Academician Zhou said is too alarmist! Yanzhou and Xuzhou have sufficient soldiers and generals. In addition to border troops and horses, there are tens of thousands of garrison troops in various places. There are also two vassal kings guarding them. There are also many soldiers and horses in the vassal state. Even if there is an invasion of foreign tribes, the two The vassal king's soldiers and horses are enough to resist it! 】
[Zhou Zhenwen: It is precisely because the two vassal kings are here that the soldiers and horses of Yanzhou and Xuzhou cannot move! 】
[As soon as these words came out, the expressions of many ministers changed suddenly. They all understood the meaning of Zhou Zhenwen's words. 】
[Doesn’t this mean that the two vassal kings have disobedient intentions and may take advantage of the situation to rebel together? 】
[The left minister of the Ministry of War, Yan Zuo, also changed his expression and did not dare to continue talking. 】
[Things involving the vassal king are not something that a foreign minister like him dares to talk about casually. 】
[He is not Zhou Zhenwen, he dares to say anything! 】
