Eight days have passed since the Ningwuguan incident.

The situation became worse and worse. The King of Wu's heart-wrenching "heart talk" was pouring fuel on fire, pouring on the heads of the civil and military officials in the court. Before the first month of the year came out, the atmosphere of the New Year completely passed, as if it was back to the cold winter.

It was already late at night, and the imperial study behind the Tai Chi Hall was still brightly lit. Many powerful court officials were waiting outside the imperial study. The three dukes and nine ministers stood in the imperial study. Sometimes they could hear the angry voice of the emperor Song Ji:

"Song Siming, how could I treat him badly? He has slapped heavy taxes... I have seen the disaster in Jiangnan. I have exempted the annual taxes in Shu. I will let hundreds of thousands of soldiers drink the northwest wind? In such a huge Jiangnan, it is difficult to count the wealth of the country. How many big money is needed for disaster relief? I asked him to raise money. He stubbornly violated the people, and in the end I blamed me for the heavy taxes. Xiaozong, the late emperor, had he ever heard the old King of Wu complain for more than half of the time?..."

Every sentence is true, but it is also incompetent and furious.

If you want to inflict a crime, why not worry about it?

The King of Wu impeached the emperor, the King of Wei, and the King of Yu immediately expressed his opinion, standing on the side of the King of Wu, accusing Song Ji of having problems in his rule after he ascended the throne. After all, it was Song Ji who exposed his intention to reduce the vassal state and touched the interests of the vassal kings. How could he ask for the people and be wholeheartedly for the country?

Most court officials are as clear as a mirror, but it is useless to know. If you tell these things, no vassal king will admit them. Otherwise, the King of Wu would not have had any effort to find out these "four major crimes" to be the name of becoming a master.

Most of the three Dukes and Nine Lords came from prominent families, that is, vested people, whose interests are bound to the imperial power, and the chaos in the world is not in line with the interests of prominent families. Not to mention the change of imperial power, the emperor once the minister changes his emperor, and the aristocratic families supported by him will inevitably be reshuffled. When there is room for maneuver, the five "Xiao Lu, Cui, Li" and other small surnames must have chosen to maintain the current situation and stand on the side of Song Ji.

The Grand Marshal Lu Cheng'an is the helmsman of the Lu family in Jinling. Like Xiao Chuyang, his family is suffering from disaster. Although the King of Wu dared not touch the two major clans of Xiao Lu, the industries that were spread across the Yangtze River in Jiangnan were affected by rebellions and could not be regarded as not seeing them. Moreover, the north is fighting with the Northern Qi Dynasty. As the saying goes, "If you fight against foreign countries, you must first settle the country." If the matter in Jiangnan is not resolved, Da Yue, who has been recuperating for decades, may be really dragged down.

After the emperor scolded the three queens of the eastern part, Lu Chengan took a step forward and said:

"The three kings in the east have had a different intention, and it is empty talk to ask them to apologize. The war in Taiyuan is urgent, and the internal troubles should be quickly quelled."

The three princes and nine ministers all nodded, using the three princes in the eastern region as a threat to make the three princes in the eastern region admit their mistakes. Just think about it, you will know that it is impossible. The three princes stayed in Chang'an to prevent the vassal kings from rebelling. Now the three princes in the eastern region are not rebelling, but to the people's "righteousness" to impeach Song Ji's tyrannical and stupidity. If Song Ji cut off the three princes in the eastern region, it would be untrustful that he was a tyrant.

It is even more impossible to make the Song Jixia's "sincere" and admit his mistakes with the three kings in the east.

Song Ji had overcorrected the "Iron Eagle Fighting Deer", but the general direction was definitely correct, so the matter of reducing the vassal states went wrong. How could he confess the crimes mentioned by the Three Kings and put the shit that had been detrimental for thousands of years on his head.

To quickly calm the storm, the best way is to send troops to put down the rebellion in Jiangnan, then ignore the three kings in the east, and return to deal with them after destroying Northern Qi.

But in this situation, the soldiers and horses of the Protectorate in the western Liaoning must not dare to move around. King Wei and King Yu have expressed their opinions, and it is better not to interfere with it, let alone expect them to quell the rebellion.

More than 200,000 refugees in the Jiangnan Uprising were growing rapidly with the secret support of the King of Wu. Without more than 100,000 elite soldiers, they would definitely not be able to be eliminated. Where can I get these tens of thousands of elite soldiers now?

Song Ji naturally knew that King Wu was putting in trouble. After venting his anger for a moment, he sat back behind the desk and said in a deep voice:

"My dear friends, what are your suggestions?"

The Grand Marshal Guan Hongzhuo thought for a while and bowed:

"The border troops that were originally used to suppress rebellions in Liaoxi could withdraw 50,000 to continue to move south, but it was difficult to exterminate the thieves who rebelled in Jiangnan in time. The King of Chu assisted in defense of the northern border and held more than 200,000 troops in his hand. Although his combat power was not very useful, it should be no problem to wipe out the rebels who were mainly refugees."

The military soldiers in the palace are ordinary military households, serving the people in daily life and in wartime. The quality of the soldiers is different from that of the Guanzhong Army and the Xiliang Army. The soldiers and horses in Dayue are basically the same, and are used to maintain public order in various places.

However, although the combat effectiveness of the King of Chu's army is not as good as the border troops, it is still changing a group of people to go to the border every two years to experience it. No matter how bad it is, it is better than the refugees who are wielding a hoe. As long as you are willing to go, it should be no big problem to eliminate the rebellion.

Song Ji tapped the table with his fingers and thought for a while.

At this time, Song Ji didn't want to use the troops of the vassal kings, for fear that the King of Chu would also make trouble. However, the problem would be even more serious when the Jiangnan area was delayed for too long, and we have to see what the King of Chu was.

"Okay, I will send an order to the King of Chu and ask him to join his army immediately to go to Jiangnan to quell the rebellion."

"promise."

The three dukes and nine ministers all bowed and made a decision, and then bowed out of the imperial study room...

The next afternoon.

In Fenglingdu Town, pedestrians and merchants were shoulder to shoulder, but the big archway that was at the gate of hell was a little depressed, and there were no archways who were drilling for the archway.

Xu Buling rode the Fengfeng horse and walked through the small square with Ning Qingye, he turned his head and glanced, and said:

"Qingye, have you passed the gates of hell?"

Ning Qingye rode a white wind-chasing horse, wearing a veil on his head, and his waist and back were as straight as ever, but he looked insane.

Last night, Xu Buling took advantage of him and gave up on himself, so he pulled off his bellyband and let Xu Buling see him enough. His original intention was to anger Xu Buling, but he ended up making him angry half to death.

It would be fine. Xu Buling hugged her while rubbing her ears, and said he wanted to marry her. Ning Qingye was confused about the relationship problem. He was hurt by his father's irresponsible situation when he was young. How could he have any ideas? He didn't sleep well last night and he didn't say anything after getting up in the morning.

Hearing Xu Buling's inquiry, Ning Qingye didn't want to answer, so he drove his horse to speed up and walked in front, and said calmly:

"You are not allowed to tell Manzhi and the others about yesterday. I will ask Master later. If Master agrees, I will settle the score with you."

Xu Buling rode a horse, led another horse, and quickly walked to the front:

"What if the master doesn't agree?"

Not agreeing...

Ning Qingye's body stiffened a little, and he wanted to say, "How could Master not agree?", but he felt something was wrong, and finally snorted coldly:

"If you don't agree, you are flirting with me, I will definitely break my grace with you. If you touch me again, I will not care about my kindness."

Xu Buling smiled and said, "Okay, it's a matter of determination. Don't say that I'm not responsible at that time."

"you……"

Ning Qingye clenched his fists, did not respond, and quickly arrived at the ferry in Fenglingdu Town.

Located on the ferry in the Yellow River Bay, the boats were endless. The towers of Prince Su's mansion were parked in it, and the pedals were placed on the shore. From time to time, maids and messengers ran up and down.

It was already dark, and the lights were on both floors of the building. You could see the deck full of branches, Chuchu and Yufu gathered together, holding a telescope and scanning the banks of the Yellow River.

On the first floor of the boat building, Ning Yuhe's room window, Zhongli Jiujiu actually sat with Ning Yuhe on both sides of the window, holding his arms and facing each other, not knowing what he was talking about, but from that expression, he must be ridiculing each other.

Xu Buling knew the two eldest daughter-in-law best. Just looking at the expression, he knew that Yuhe was saying:

"You dead woman, you deserve it to be with Ling'er."

Jiujiu said: "You said you are a master and give me everything to your apprentice, and you have to press me. What do you think you are trying to do? What should Xu Buling gets addicted..."

Xu Buling looked at him from afar, feeling a little funny. Perhaps seeing him coming back with Qingye, the two mortal enemies stopped quarreling and disappeared from the window.

On the second floor of the building, Aunt Lu stood at the window like Hufushi. I don’t know how long she had been looking at him. After seeing him, Wen Run’s cheeks were full of surprises, and hurried back to the house and pulled Xiang’er out. Xiang’er was probably sleeping in beauty, and she was wearing a green mask on her face. After a glance at the window, she hurriedly hid back, probably because she had washed her face and dressed up.

Xu Buling showed a smile from the bottom of his heart on his face, and he breathed a light sigh and quickly walked to the edge of the building.

Ning Qingye was a little distracted and didn't pay attention to so many small details on the boat. After turning over and dismounting, he led his big white horse to the deck.

Xu Buling thought Qingye would go back to the room without saying a word, but never thought that Ning Qingye took a few steps and saw Manzhi and the others running over happily. The first sentence was:

"Manzhi, I picked up a wind-chasing horse in Taiyuan. How do you see?"

Full of swearing!

Chuchu and Yufu both saw the mighty white chasing horse, and their eyes lit up. However, Chuchu had a white camel that he was longing for, and Yufu didn't know how to ride a horse, so she didn't envy her too much.
Chapter completed!
