Chapter 24 In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the decree to suppress the rebellion,
"Lou Daliang, the general of Daming Prefecture, sent a 800-mile rush report. There were unruly people in Daming Prefecture gathering people to rebel!"
In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Emperor Hongde's voice was fluctuating without any fluctuation. He looked at the solemn and silent civil and military officials below with expressionless expression, and could not see the thunder and anger just now.
Hearing Emperor Hongde's words, the ministers' faces were filled with incredible expressions. The entire Hall of Supreme Harmony suddenly turned like a vegetable market.
Looking at the nobles and civil servants who had already heard the news, they had already expected it, and they all looked exactly like the people around them. Jia Jing stood behind and felt numb.
This acting is full of passion and a natural and simple expression. In later generations, it is unreasonable not to give it to a Grand Slam!
On the high platform, Emperor Hongde looked at the noisy Hall of Supreme Harmony below, his face getting ugly.
"Ahem!"
Seeing this, the Prime Minister and eunuch Qiu Shian, who was next to him, quickly coughed twice.
The more people talked, the more excited they looked up and saw Emperor Hongde's face as dark as the bottom of the pot. They quickly stopped and stood with their breath, staring at the square bricks they added, as if they were enjoying a peerless masterpiece.
From the vegetable market to the morgue, it’s only a breath or two.
Yang Xiuchen, the chief assistant of the cabinet, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Northern Zhili is at the foot of the emperor. Those unlucky people do not want to be loyal to the king and the country, and dare to gather people to rebel. They are really people without kings and fathers. I ask Your Majesty to send a large army to use the power of thunder to eliminate the rebels!"
"Bang!"
Another tea cup followed the footsteps of his ancestors and was heavily thrown by Emperor Hongde at Yang Xiuchen's feet.
The noble civil servants in the hall were shocked. As the virtuous minister of Emperor Hongde, Yang Xiuchen personally promoted the civil servant leader. He was very pleased by Emperor Hongde on weekdays. He was protected everywhere by Emperor Hongde and could not bear to say a word. I don’t know how many people were secretly jealous, but now they were thrown into the cup...
I'm afraid something really happened!
Such an idea suddenly flashed through the civil and military officials present.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid!"
As the person involved, Yang Xiuchen was startled and immediately knelt down and apologized.
"You should be frightened!"
Seeing Yang Xiuchen kneeling down, Emperor Hongde did not let him stand up as before. Instead, he cursed even more angrily: "You are the civil servant leader and the chief minister of the cabinet that I have appointed. I have high hopes for you, but how did you repay me? How did those officials repay me?"
Listening to Emperor Hongde’s reprimand on the high platform, Yang Xiuchen felt a trembling heart. The tricks that begged for mercy in the past not only did not work, but instead attracted more intense reprimands, which was not a good signal.
"I support them and pull them out of the mud, but what about them? I personally send my people on the path of rebellion. Is this how they repay me?"
"The Ma Zheng, which Taizu appointed, came to the hands of the group of dog officials below. The tax amount is getting heavier every year. It's only a few years now. It's been a lot of time! I don't dare to think about how my people should scold me in their hearts!"
"It's only been a few years? Have you all forgotten your surname?!"
Emperor Hongde's series of scoldings made the pressure in the Taihe Hall drop to the lowest level. Since he ascended the throne, the ministers have never seen Emperor Hongde feel so angry.
During his reign, the people under his nose were able to gather people to rebel, which was a precedent for the Great Zhou Dynasty. They must be recorded in history by historians and nailed to the pillar of shame for future generations to make fun of.
Every time I think of this, Emperor Hongde's anger will involuntarily rise.
After a long time, Emperor Hongde Yang Chong stopped his scolding, took a deep breath, calmed down his mood, "Look at it, look at what good things our loyal and dedicated ministers have done!"
A memorial that was slightly deformed was thrown on the ground of the hall by Emperor Hongde. The cabinet chief Yang Xiuchen hurried forward and picked up the memorial. After a few glances, he couldn't help but take a breath of air conditioning.
The situation is far worse than expected.
Under the leadership of the prefect Mei Wenxian, the horse tax of Daming Mansion once rose to twice the standard stipulated by Taizu, plus the losses of horses reported by farmers, as well as the eliminated horses, etc.
The entire Northern Zhili, under the forced horse raising task of the imperial court, was complained about by the additional tax amount paid by the officials, and the sky was filled with complaints.
Now he is even more rebellious because he can't survive!
What made Yang Xiuchen even more unacceptable was that Mei Wenxian recommended him to the past!
"Just yesterday, a group of thieves in Daming Mansion gathered to rebel. In just under three hours, the thieves had fallen. Thousands of thieves robbed the Daming Mansion and left.
All your families will discuss this matter!"
Seeing that the ministers were too slow to read the memorials, Emperor Hongde directly announced the contents of the memorials to the civil and military ministers who were still waiting in line.
"What?"
"Daming Mansion fell?"
“…”
In the chaos, the king of Zhenguo Jizong immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the most urgent task is now. The court must immediately order the soldiers of the Northern Zhili governments to be on guard and beware of the invasion of the rebels; at the same time, Shenjing must immediately send large troops and use thunder means to eliminate the rebels!"
"The Duke of Zhenguo is reasonable," Emperor Hongde nodded, satisfied that the nobles and military generals did not continue to choose to entangle with civil servants when facing problems.
Otherwise, if we continue to reconcile the mistakes of the Daming Prefect or the recommendation of the paper man, Emperor Hongde will not be able to say anything for a while. These nobles still look a bit conscientious!
"According to the Duke of Zhenguo, how should we send troops and eliminate the rebels?"
Upon hearing this, Niu Jizong immediately responded loudly: "Your Majesty, I recommend Jia Jing to lead his troops to quell the rebellion!"
"Jia Jing?" Emperor Hongde pondered in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, Jia Jing has experienced countless big and small battles in Liaodong for three years, and has no defeat. He is the best candidate to lead troops to suppress the rebellion now!" Seeing that Emperor Hongde hesitated, Niu Jizong continued.
Zhong Shoucai, the Minister of War, immediately stood up and retorted loudly: "Your Majesty, what the Duke of Zhenguo said is inappropriate! Jia Jing is a doctor in the Ministry of Works Yuheng and a civil servant. How can he lead troops to quell the rebellion? According to the Great Zhou ancestor's system..."
Zhong Shoucai was just talking when a clear shout suddenly came from the door: "The Supreme Emperor has an order..."
There was a sound of footsteps at the door. As the two doors of the Supreme Hall were pushed open by the imperial guards on duty, a tall figure with gray hair walked in. It was the eunuch of the Dragon Shou Palace - Dai Quan.
Seeing this person, Emperor Hongde Yang Chong's eyes moved, but his face remained silent.
"The Supreme Emperor has an order: Jia Jing, the doctor of the Ministry of Works, was once the thousand households of Zhenbei Army. He was brave and good at fighting. He would defeat the enemy. He was specially appointed as the general of the thief to suppress the troops and led the Zhenwei camp. He immediately went to Daming Prefecture to suppress the rebellion. No mistakes should be made!"
In the crowd, Jia Jing heard this and took off the line, bowed and replied, "My minister Jia Jing, receive the order!"
After saying that, he stood up and respectfully took the imperial edict from Dai Quan.
"In addition, the Supreme Emperor has something to ask our family to bring to Shoufu Yang: The promotion of civil and military officials is not a joke. If military generals can do civil servants' work, what do those civil servants do?!"
In one sentence, Yang Xiuchen, who had just stood up, knelt down again, his head on the ground, and he dared not speak.
