This incident finally reached the palace in the afternoon and was learned by Li Rang, the number one eunuch in the world today.
However, what reached his ears was a bit different, and it turned out that someone under Qin Xiang was provoking him first.
This matter is not afraid of being exposed, because the subordinates of the eunuch Li Rang are clashing with the courtiers almost every day, trying to find a reason to take action, and it should not be too simple.
After hearing the scolding drama about himself and describing himself as a dead castrated dog with evil intentions and evil intentions, Li Rang's father-in-law was furious.
It is really intolerable that this traitor who has killed a thousand swords can slander himself, a loyal minister of the imperial court and a confidant of His Majesty.
Li Rang was furious and ordered the prince to organize people to build an open-air stage in the city to sing and scold the traitor.
After Qin Xiangguo heard about it, he was not to be outdone. He also set up an open-air stage to criticize the eunuch Li Rang...
The quarrel between the two sides made Qin Xiangguo very angry. He didn't like hearing unpleasant words. Now he was in no mood to target other things, so he just wanted to kill Li Rang.
Outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, Ye Ming smiled as he watched the luck of the person he was paying attention to fluctuate slightly.
Sure enough, this method works, but it's not powerful enough.
It seems that it needs other help.
After Princess Lingbi successfully connected with the prince, she spent a lot of money to make the prince happy.
Seeing that the prince was completely in the eyes of money, Princess Lingbi knew that the time was right and immediately asked:
"How much do you know about the Queen Mother's illness?"
The prince, who had been looking at the treasure in front of him greedily just now, was frightened when he heard this, and denied it repeatedly, saying that he knew nothing.
But since Princess Lingbi asked, she naturally wouldn't let him fool her.
After another round of coercion and inducement, the prince finally revealed the truth tremblingly.
The Queen Mother is not sick, but pregnant!
The queen mother of a country actually became pregnant many years after the death of the late emperor. Such a scandal is rare in history books.
What's even more exaggerated is that the Queen Mother's child is not someone else's, but her own son, the current emperor!
Today's emperor is devoted to women and doesn't care about anything else.
The Queen Mother was also unambitious and spent all day enjoying herself in the harem.
As a result, during a harem banquet, both mother and son got extremely drunk.
A mother who has been widowed for many years, and a son who only has eyes for women, just like that...
Afterwards, the palace kept the matter secret, and all the eunuchs and maids who knew about it were dealt with, except for a few in power.
I thought this matter could be concealed, but unexpectedly the Queen Mother was pregnant.
The Queen Mother herself was also panicked and did not dare to announce it at this time, so she kept it secret.
When I found out later, it had been two months.
The Queen Mother is not in good health and is not young. If she has an abortion, her life will be hurt if she is not careful.
After careful consideration, she decided to conceal the matter and give birth to the child secretly.
Only then did the Queen Mother become ill and no one saw her.
After hearing what the prince said, Princess Lingbi was stunned on the spot as if five thunders had struck her head.
After a long time, he sighed quietly:
“Mountains and rivers are in turmoil, the country is in turmoil, disasters are frequent, refugees are everywhere, and the country will not be able to survive.
Now, even the laws of nature and human relations have collapsed..."
"Princess, you must never tell anyone else about this, otherwise this slave's head will be moved!"
The prince regretted it so much now that he scolded himself ten thousand times in his heart.
Okay, what kind of treasure are you coveting?
That's good. You've leaked such an important thing. If someone knows that it's you who told it, even ten heads won't be enough!
Princess Lingbi, whose faith had almost collapsed in her heart, didn't know how she got back to the mansion. When she returned to the mansion, she just sat there, still not recovering from the news.
Ye Ming's focus is a little different. In his opinion, since the emperor can even be his own mother and possesses the destiny of a country, isn't that...
This is a pretty reasonable suspicion, and the more I think about it, the more likely it is.
This made Ye Ming a little excited.
There is also Li Rang who is greedy for even the little eunuch's monthly payment. According to Wang Gonggong, this man's greed is probably unparalleled by few people in the world.
And Ye Ming has already harvested a high-grade corpse aura from Wang Gonggong.
If Qin Xiangguo is added...
Done!
The New Year's Eve dinner was served, and Zhao Yuwan cooked it by herself.
After an afternoon of meditation, Princess Lingbi finally recovered almost, but there was no smile on her face anymore.
A group of people sat together to enjoy the New Year's Eve dinner. Except for Ye Ming, Mai Sui and his daughter, who acted carelessly and drank when they should eat, everyone else was absent-minded.
Princess Lingbi has too many things to worry about and too many things to do.
Zhao Yuwan is worried about the state of Princess Xinbi. She really regards this as her sister.
Lei Ling was wondering what the old devil was planning to do.
Others, such as Zhu Maojiao, Liu Yunniang, and the guard captain, are not qualified to sit at this table, and they all eat in another room.
They were chatting happily.
In particular, Zhu Maojiao talked about his "glorious past" very proudly, making Liu Yunniang and the guard captain laugh.
Piggyfoot thought that these two people were recognizing his "glorious past", and he was very happy and proud.
Just like that, New Year's Eve passed just like that.
...
The wind and frost in the heaven and earth are gone, and the weather in the universe is harmonious.
The calendar adds new years, and spring fills the old mountains and rivers.
The plum blossoms and willows are beautiful and graceful, and the pine trees are very old.
Tu Su became drunk and laughed happily in the white cloud nest.
The first day of the Lunar New Year symbolizes the arrival of the new year.
There is always a new atmosphere in the new year. No, the capital city ushered in a new atmosphere early this morning.
Dozens of cavalrymen, riding eight hundred miles, entered the city from all over the city in just half an hour, delivering the news as soon as possible.
General Dong Lushan of Chenzhou rebelled!
Unsurprisingly, this general, who now controls the strongest military power in the Xu Kingdom, rebelled.
When the emergency news reached the capital, Dong Lushan's army had completely captured the entire Chenzhou.
Duke Shou Guo, who guarded Shoushui City, died for his country and was killed by the rebels. His head was hung on the flagpole and displayed among the rebels.
Of course, Duke Shou died fighting for his country, which is just a glorification.
In fact, he wanted to escape, but he didn't act in time, he had too many family members, and a lot of finances that he couldn't let go of. As a result, his retreat was delayed and he was trapped in Shoushui City.
The spineless Duke Shou directly chose to surrender to save his life. Unexpectedly, the rebels did not follow the rules and cut down the sacrificial flag for him.
As soon as Duke Shou died, the other defenders of Chenzhou, who had no power to resist, fled and surrendered, and Chenzhou was surrendered.
Dong Lushan's army, which successfully took over Chenzhou, continued to attack without stopping.
Under the leadership of Lu Qingxu, the number one general in the world today, he invaded Xinzhou and conquered several counties. Now he has reached the last barrier of Xinzhou, the Government Wen Mansion.
Li Yong, the magistrate of Zhengwen Mansion, had already prepared 50,000 troops and horses in advance to defend the city to stop the rebels.
The rebels were temporarily blocked, but the situation was extremely critical.
Once the government and Wen government are breached, the capital will be next!
Upon hearing the news, the people in the city were in an uproar and cheered!
Yes, the people are applauding!
Because Dong Lushan raised troops, he was famous for his division.
What they are calling is not in the name of rebellion, but in the name of "clearing the emperor's side".
A list of traitors was also compiled.
Among these people were Li Rang, the eunuch, Yu Xian, the official minister, and a lot of officials and nobles who were deeply hated by the people.
Dong Lushan had been planning this for many years. As the rebellion began, a large number of people came out of the capital to publicize the goodness of General Dong to the people, saying how devoted he was to serving the country, how he was suppressed by the traitors in the court, and how he was persecuted. etc.
When the people heard this, their favorable impression of General Dong, whom they had never met, doubled. Combined with the people General Dong wanted to eliminate, they felt that General Dong must be a good man who cared about the country and the people.
The only strange thing is that for some reason, a certain unspoken Prime Minister that everyone hates is not on the list.
Although I don’t know why, as long as General Dong wants to deal with those damn traitorous officials, it’s a good thing!
In addition, Duke Shou died, and his eldest son died a few months ago.
Several other sons were also killed by the rebels.
Now all that is left is a son who has learned countless things in the capital.
Originally, it was not his turn to inherit the position of Duke, but now, due to the "unfortunate disaster", the young Duke accepted the position of Duke "extremely reluctantly" and was heartbroken.
Hearing that the young Duke was heartbroken because of the death of his father and brother, he was extremely sad. On the same day, he made an appointment with more than 20 princes, princes and grandsons who were close to him in the capital to go to the "Hongting Tower" to relieve his mood.
Different from these young masters, their fathers, those who were officials in the court, were all horrified, extremely frightened by Dong Lushan's rebellion.
Of course, most of it is fake.
Regarding Dong Lushan's rebellion, it can be said that everyone knew that he would rebel sooner or later. There were a large number of officials secretly colluding with him, but now they are just pretending.
It was said that a million troops would be mobilized to destroy Dong Lushan, but when it came to the details, everyone was dumbfounded. Everyone was passing the blame to each other, saying that they had difficulties.
If someone rebels and the ministers are not anxious, then the emperor should be anxious, right?
No, the emperor is not in a hurry, our emperor is having fun with a group of concubines!
Aren't there courtiers to resolve rebellions or something like that?
If they can't even solve a rebellion, then what else do they have to do?
Except for a few ministers who do not play a decisive role, they are concerned about the country and the people. Others are indifferent.
It doesn't matter if the emperor changes anyway, as long as the new emperor needs people, they will not lose their status.
Therefore, the ministers were not in a hurry, and neither was the emperor.
So who's in a hurry?
The answer is, the eunuch is in a hurry!
Yes, General Dong rebelled, and the eunuchs were most anxious.
Because there are more than twenty eunuchs in the list of "Qingjun side" compiled by General Dong.
It can be said that all the core members of Li Rang and others are included.
Another point is that others will allow the emperor to change, but as eunuchs with vested interests, they are ten thousand unwilling to change the emperor.
Therefore, when the courtiers were unable to do their job and were trying to blame each other, it was the eunuch Li Rang who mobilized the troops from surrounding counties in Xinzhou and Puzhou and began to rush to support the Wen government.
Do you think these reinforcements can help?
Is that too naive?
The officials on the Prime Minister's side began to exert their efforts. Every time the reinforcements passed through a place, they had to give a note to the local chief official before they could pass.
If you want to enter the city to replenish food and grass, you need the prefect or county magistrate to open the city gate.
But since the beginning of Dong Lushan's rebellion, Qin Xiangguo, who has been fanatically staring at the supreme throne of the Ninth Five-Year Plan with no one in the court, how can he let the reinforcements ruin his affairs?
What about Dong Lushan's rebellion? In fact, he, Prime Minister Qin, was behind all of this.
Dong Lushan had recognized Qin Xiangguo, who was not yet the prime minister at the time, as his adoptive father ten years ago.
Over the years, my adopted son has been doing things for me!
Thinking that years of planning would succeed, Prime Minister Qin couldn't help but get excited.
But he still endured it in the end. Now he just waits for his loyal adopted son to lead the army to the outside of the capital, and then he can directly open the city gate and realize his long-cherished wish!
By the way, I heard that my adopted grandson has the reputation of being the best general in the world and can be reused.
When you rule the world, you can attack the Liang people in the north and expand your territory!
At this moment, Prime Minister Qin has even thought about the future foundation of his empire!
