Chapter 315 The world is already in chaos (3)
People's will is a very strange thing, most of the common people are obedient and do not dare to give birth to a rebellious heart. But when the superiors do something that breaks through their bottom line, they will frantically resist, even if they don't want their lives, they will overthrow this disgusting superior.
Just when Emperor Fengning was furious because of the mob, the people of Xuezhou rebelled. And it wasn't the people who rebelled, it was the local officials who rebelled together with the people.
It was only then that everyone remembered that the Zhao family had been relegated to other prefectures and counties by Emperor Fengning long ago, and the governor of Xuezhou was the direct son of the main line of the Zhao family, no wonder he couldn't bear to turn against him.
Xuezhou carried the banner on the Qing emperor's side, Dongzhou, Xizhou and other major states and counties responded one after another, the imperial army was retreating steadily, and Jiang Luo, who had been absurd all day long, couldn't sit still anymore, and even sent a few cronies there, but they were all rejected. The rebels were defeated, and finally less than half of the territory of Daye fell into the hands of the rebels.
The courtiers were helpless, Jiang Luo complained again and again, and only then regretted that he had demoted the only few officials in the court who could fight to the border, and now there is no one available.
"Your Majesty," said the little eunuch who has been serving Jiang Luo, "I actually have a good candidate to recommend, but I am afraid that His Majesty will be dissatisfied when he hears this person's name."
"Who?" Jiang Luo is now in a hurry to seek medical treatment. Hearing the idea of the little eunuch next to him, he asked quickly, "These useless things are full of tongues on weekdays. When it comes to critical times, a very useful one nothing."
"Cheng'an Hou Rong Junpo."
"He?" Jiang Luo frowned, "He is a literati, can he go to the battlefield?"
"Although he is not good at it, his wife was born in a family of generals," said the eunuch, "Rong Xia has always been favored by your majesty's grandfather's family, and is also the Marquis of the Daye Dynasty. At this critical moment, even if he doesn't want to stand up, I also have to shed my blood for the great cause."
"Taking a step back, if he accidentally dies on the battlefield, it will be a big deal on your mind. It's a win-win thing."
"What you said makes sense," Jiang Luo suddenly realized. He wanted Cheng Anhou to die, but he couldn't catch him. Now he died on the battlefield, sacrificing his life for the country. Who else can say anything?
"You're right, come and draw up a decree."
"By the way, Rong Xia and Ban Hua lead troops out of the city, and the place where the Ban family lives is heavily guarded, and they cannot be allowed to leave the city."
"yes."
Before this decree was issued, Rong Xia had someone transfer the Ban family members out of the capital, and the "Ban family members" who stayed in the city didn't go out much, so no one doubted their identities. When the infantry yamen guarded the courtyard where the Ban family lived, "Ban Huai" and "Ban Heng" opened half the door and yelled and cursed for a long time, letting people see the Ban family's ignorant temper.
While the "Ban family" was under control, Emperor Fengning's imperial decree was sent to Cheng'anhou Mansion.
As expected by Emperor Fengning, after hearing that the Ban family was well protected, Cheng Anhou and his wife changed their faces, and finally implemented the ceremony honestly. Two hundred thousand" expeditionary force left the city.
Emperor Feng Ning hated Rong Xia, so when Rong Xia left the city, he didn't even make a fuss about seeing Rong Xia off, and just sent an unremarkable official to see him off and dealt with it.
His move chilled more courtiers, including some officials who originally followed him.
After leaving the boundary of the capital, the expeditionary army traveled all the way south without daring to delay.
On the way, soldiers disturbed the people and even damaged the crops. Rong Xia ordered the soldiers to be punished, but they were still not convinced. In the end, they found that they were no match for Rong Xia in archery, and Banhua, a woman in marksmanship, and finally became honest.
