Wishing You Eternal Happiness Chapter 393: :Shandong Rebellion
The courtiers are not fools. As soon as King You's death caused a stir among the people of the Zhou Dynasty, riots broke out frequently in various places. The emperor was like a furious lion at this time. If he didn't kill him, blood would flow into rivers, which would not be enough to shock the world.
He will use **** methods to tell the government and the public, and tell the vassals everywhere: "The authority of the Heavenly Family cannot be provoked."
This is the magic of the emperor.
At a time when the government and the public are in turmoil!
An urgent document of 800 miles was delivered to the capital. The **** horse galloped down Chang'an Street. The spies holding the document high shouted: "Shandong urgent report, Shandong urgent report..."
As soon as the people heard this voice, they retreated and gave way to Dao'er.
The **** horse drove all the way from Chang'an Street to the palace.
The spy knelt on the ground and said urgently: "Your Majesty, various tribes in Shandong have launched a large-scale rebellion. The leader, Li Qiguang, shouted the banner of being in power and persecuting Zhongliang..."
As soon as the emperor heard the words "The emperor is in power", his whole body was like an angry lion, and his eyes turned red: "Call all the ministers into the palace to discuss matters."
After receiving the news, the ministers did not dare to delay at all and hurriedly entered the palace.
The emperor stood on a high position and looked down at the ministers below: "A large-scale rebellion has occurred in Shandong. What good plan do you have?"
It is a matter of national danger, how dare the ministers hide it——
Xia Yansheng immediately handed over his hand: "Li Qiguang has always regarded himself as a survivor of the Gulu Kingdom. He has been winning people's hearts in Shandong and has gathered a large number of people under his command. The imperial court has sent troops to suppress it twice, but failed to persuade him to surrender. At this time, he launched a rebellion. I'm afraid that In order to use the reputation of His Highness King You to carry out rebellion, the emperor is requested to select available generals as soon as possible and lead troops to suppress the rebellion."
"What Mr. Xia Ge said is that Shandong is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, bordering Hebei, Henan, Anhui, and Jiangsu from the north to the south. It is less than 600 miles away from Beijing. If the rebel Li Qiguang were to occupy Shandong, a network would be formed. When the time comes and the capital is in danger, please ask the emperor to immediately appoint military commanders to lead troops to quell the chaos."
“It is urgent to suppress the chaos and put down the chaos. I ask the emperor to issue an order immediately...”
"..."
The courtiers knelt on the ground and shouted loudly.
The emperor in the high position stared closely at the courtiers who were kneeling on the ground. The redness in his eyes had not dissipated, but was becoming more horrified.
The atmosphere of deathly silence was so overwhelming that the courtiers did not even dare to take a breath.
I don’t know how long it took, but the emperor’s voice sounded neither happy nor angry: “In my opinion, dear friends, who should I send to Shandong to quell the chaos? Only in this way can we be certain, victorious, and certain?”
He bit the last four words lightly and hard, and each one seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
There was silence in the court hall.
No one dared to say more than half a word. Recommending military generals was a trivial matter, but no one present had a clear idea of what the four words "certainty of victory" meant. If you were not careful, you could lose your head.
The situation in Shandong is complicated, and riots often occur. This has caused headaches for the emperors of the Zhou Dynasty.
No matter who goes, I'm afraid they are not sure of winning.
The emperor sneered: "My dear friends, please think clearly. This battle must be won but not defeated. Otherwise, I, the majesty of the Zhou Dynasty, will lose my majesty to the thieves and bandits. This will cost you your head." ”
The criminals committed by the Marquis of Changxing were monstrous, public anger spread all over the world, and riots occurred frequently in various places. If this battle could not show the majesty of the Zhou Dynasty, it would embolden Li Qiguang and the arrogance of the rebel forces in various places.
When the world is in chaos, if the vassal king rebels...
The emperor suddenly closed his eyes.
If the emperor's brother Yin Lixing was still there, how could these thieves dare to bully the Yin family?
Now that the emperor's brother Yin Lixing is dead, it has become an excuse for these bandits to rebel.
Think it is ridiculous!
The courtiers knelt on the ground, not even daring to raise their eyes. They were timid and started shaking on the spot.
The emperor suddenly laughed angrily: "What? Are you all acting like mutes? I remember that at the beginning, the prince killed several officials and gentry who did not want to assist in the war in the north, but only wanted to escape. You all can't wait. The people jumped out and talked about how King You supported his troops and respected himself, and wanted to send King You to the capital to question his crimes..."
But now that King You is dead, there is no one available in the court? !
When King You was mentioned, the courtiers were dripping with cold sweat in the hot weather, and their heavy clothes were soaked with sweat.
The silent atmosphere completely angered the high-ranking emperor. He shouted: "The Ministry of War, where is Mr. Xu, the Minister of War? The Ministry of War is in charge of war affairs in various places. Do you also want to be mute?"
Master Xu, the newly appointed Minister of the Ministry of War, immediately walked out of the crowd and knelt down on the ground with a plop.
The emperor clearly saw it, and there was a wet red patch on the back of his bright red official uniform: "Who do you think is worthy of this responsibility?"
Master Xu's body began to tremble, and even though he was kneeling on the ground, he could still feel the king falling on him, his eyes full of murderous intent, and he wanted to cry without tears: "Old, old minister, recommend, recommend, Ning Yuan Hou led his troops to Shandong to quell the chaos."
The words "certainty of victory" have already shown that the emperor attaches great importance to this battle.
If you recommend some young generals, they will definitely not be able to take on important responsibilities. Only veterans with great achievements in battle, who have experience and prestige, will have a better chance of winning.
Of course, he did not want to offend Marquis Ning Yuan.
The death of King You is inextricably linked to Marquis Ningyuan.
But the emperor only demoted Imperial Concubine Lu to the second rank of Lan Fei, and Weining Marquis Mansion only demoted to the second rank of Ningyuan Marquis Mansion. It can be seen that the emperor still wants to use Ningyuan Marquis Mansion.
However, among the distinguished veteran generals in Beijing, there are excluded some who are too old to go to war, and those who have meritorious deeds such as Zhen Guohou whose ancestors have served the dragon and cannot afford to offend.
Only the demoted Marquis Ningyuan is the best candidate.
There is no turning back~IndoMTL.com~Master Xu secretly gritted his teeth: "The Marquis of Changxing is a direct descendant of the Marquis of Ningyuan, and the two families are related by marriage. King You died unjustly. Although Marquis Changxing's crime is unpardonable, Marquis Weining also has Although the emperor punished Marquis Ning Yuan for his indulgence, it was still difficult to quell the people's anger and it was difficult to silence everyone in Youyou. Therefore, he sent Marquis Ning Yuan to lead troops to suppress the rebellion. This was the opportunity for Marquis Ning Yuan to make a difference."
The emperor listened with uncertain eyes.
Master Xu was frightened and continued: "Marquis Ningyuan has made great achievements in battle. Three years ago, the Di people invaded the northern border. Although it was King You and his son who turned the tide, it was also Marquis Ningyuan who rushed to help. I want to come to Marquis Ningyuan. His prestige will surely deter the rebels, suppress the rebellion in Shandong, and make great achievements for the imperial court."
Every word makes sense.
All the courtiers below lowered their heads and did not dare to stand up.
Ning Yuanhou, who was named, had a black eye and almost fainted on the spot.
Li Qiguang regards himself as a remnant of Gulu and has been entrenched in Shandong for generations. It can be said that it is deeply rooted and intertwined. A strong dragon cannot overwhelm the local snakes. Once he leads his troops, he will face not only the rebels under Li Qiguang, but also various people. Plant open spears and hidden arrows.
In the history of the Zhou Dynasty, many generals were buried in Shandong.
He is not sure of victory either.
————————Digression——————
Shandong has a mixed population of 54 ethnic groups. In the history of the Ming Dynasty, Shandong was quite chaotic. Liangshan in "Water Margin" is in Shandong. This setting is basically consistent with history, but this novel is an imaginary history. So please don’t take history for granted~
