Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 133 There are many people and can talk

In this era, every moment, someone is killing, and every moment, someone is dying.

The so-called prosperous and chaotic times are nothing more than more people dying and fewer people dying.

On the boundless grassland, countless well-equipped, well-trained, and professional soldiers took advantage of the night and raised their butcher knives.

Finally, at this moment, Daming quietly showed his fangs to his enemies.

Although, for the time being, it is only for those weak prey.

The night covered countless bloodshed and killings, no matter what happened, the sun would rise from the east as always.

When the first ray of dawn shone on the Forbidden City, the heavy palace gate was pushed open again as promised.

It has been three days since the last regular court.

During these three days, the imperial court was surprisingly calm, and everything was as usual.

It seemed that everything that happened in Changshang was just a normal government affairs that could no longer be normal.

However, no one knows what kind of storm will be brewing in the dark.

In the Wenhua Hall, the morning court was held as usual.

"Your Majesty, there are 14 ministers including Li Ying, the censor of Shanxi Dao, Zhong Yuying, Lin Guangyuan, the censor of Shanxi Dao, and [-] people, including Chen Mao, Marquis of Ningyang, Jin Lian, Shangshu of the Ministry of punishment, and Cao Jixiang, the eunuch of the department. .”

"Firstly, the imperial court ordered Ningyang Marquis Chen Mao to be the chief military officer, and Jin Lian, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, to oversee military affairs. The department appointed the eunuch Cao Jixiang as the supervisor of the army, and led the army to Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places to put down the rebellion."

"The three of them recruited the rebels without the imperial order, this is one of them."

"After the appeasement, the three of them didn't distinguish between the real and the fake, they were greedy for meritorious deeds, and they rebelled again. It was a disaster for one side, and it has not been settled so far. This is the second."

"The civil upheavals in the districts, the relocation of the year, and the waste of the court's material resources are in vain. These are the third."

"Your Majesty, please discuss the crimes and punish them. All of them will not be released. Therefore, the ministers are bold enough to report to the court. Your Majesty, please forgive the crime."

In the early dynasty, more than a dozen censor officials stood in the hall. The leaders held the memorabilia in their hands, said sincerely, and bowed to the ground, saying.

Zhu Qiyu was a little surprised. Regarding Cao Jixiang's impeachment, he had already prepared that these censors would launch an attack in the morning.

After all, they have stayed in China for so many times, and it is already very good that these censors have been able to endure until now.

But he really didn't expect that the gang of censors would involve Chen Mao and Jin Lian.

Speaking of it, this is actually not Chen Mao and Jin Lian's fault, but his.

In other words, it belonged to his unlucky elder brother.

As a veteran in the battlefield, Chen Mao was flexible in using his troops. In the Jiangsu-Zhejiang rebellion, he and Jin Lian jointly led the army to suppress the rebellion. In fact, he had the right to make decisions on the fly.

After all, it takes time to prepare for the large army to be dispatched, but the chaos in Jiangsu and Zhejiang has already broken out, so the local governments first mobilized troops to quell the rebellion.

It should be said that at this time, the local government and army are relatively strong.

When Chen Mao led his army to Jianning, Deng Maoqi, the leader of the rebellion, had already died of a stray arrow in his body, and the rebels were also demoralized.

Therefore, after discussing with Jin Lian, Chen Mao considered that the leader of the bandit was dead and most of the remaining rebels were civilians, so he decided not to massacre wantonly, and instead focused on appeasement.

After all, although this rebellion was called a rebellion, it was actually a large-scale civil uprising. In the final analysis, it was because the people were overly oppressed by the local government and followed the rebels.

Since the leader of the thief is dead, there is no great threat to the court, so it is better to appease him.

There is nothing wrong with this, but in this way, it will take more time.

After all, strangling the rebels and beating and persuading them at the same time, the energy and time it takes are not the same.

It took more than half a year to go back and forth like this.

At first, they were almost all appeased, only a small number of thieves were still running around, and it seemed that in two or three months, they would be completely calmed down.

As a result, something like Tumubao happened, so the court urgently recalled Chen Mao and his army.

Without the repression of the army, a small half of the recruited rebels, under the bewitching of the exiles, surrendered and rebelled again, disturbing the place again.

So having said that, this is actually not Chen Mao's fault.

He is familiar with military affairs, and as long as he is given another two months, he will be able to wipe out all these thieves and ensure that the recruited rebels will not surrender and rebel.

It was just like this that these censors caught the conversation.

However, sitting on the throne, Zhu Qiyu frowned.

He didn't think about this matter, after all, Chen Mao came back early, and at that time, the rebellion was basically put down.

And the military report that those thieves who had been recruited surrendered and rebelled was passed to the capital only the day before yesterday.

After the military newspaper arrived in Beijing, in the past two days, some people did publish books impeaching Chen Mao and Jin Lian, but there were not too many, and there were only five or six books in total.

Because of the involvement of Cao Jixiang, he also kept him out.

But he didn't expect that these censors would unite the two sides and impeach them together.

Glancing at Li Ying, the censor of Shanxi Dao who is the leader, Zhu Qiyu lowered his eyes.

Is this also Queen Mother Sun's scheme?
Is it to protect Cao Jixiang?
However, based on the influence of Queen Mother Sun in the foreign court, how could it be possible to dispatch more than a dozen censors at once.

His eyes passed over Li Ying and fell on the few people behind him.

If he remembered correctly, these few people were mentioned by Cheng Jing to him, the few censors that Cheng Jing had gone to inform.

How did they get involved?

Turning his head to glance at Cheng Jing, seeing him carefully shaking his head, indicating that he didn't know the inside story, Zhu Qiyu was even more puzzled.

After thinking about it, he said.

"Ningyanghou, Jin Shangshu, Li Ying and other fourteen censors impeached you two and three charges. How do you explain?"

The first one to stand up was Chen Mao, and the old Hou Ye said with a dark face as always.

"Report to the emperor, I was ordered by the emperor to hunt down the thieves, and I was awarded the commander-in-chief. According to the system, I have the right to make decisions on the fly. The rebellion in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is actually a civil uprising. The leader of the thieves is dead. If you slaughter rashly, it will hurt the peace of heaven. Therefore, old minister I think there is nothing wrong with recruiting."

"As for surrendering and then rebelling, it is the mismanagement of local officials, not the fault of appeasement."

"There is also the so-called postponement of the year, which wastes the court's material resources, which is even more nonsense."

"The people in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places are complicated, and the anti-military forces are scattered all over the country. They have taken down more than [-] counties and counties, and their arrogance is overwhelming. How can it be resolved overnight?"

Chen Mao came from the Emperor Taizong's reign when he was in the heyday of the honorary family, but he was not used to the stinking problems of civil servants, so he just opened his mouth without being polite.

It's almost like saying that you guys don't understand military affairs, so you know how to be blind.

But these censors are naturally not easy to bully. The civil servants have been able to overwhelm their relatives over the years, and their lip service is indispensable.

At that moment, a censor stood up and said with a sneer.

"Your Majesty pushed it cleanly. The imperial court sent a large army to quell the rebellion. It was to kill the thieves. Otherwise, if the common people would follow suit, wouldn't it be a war everywhere?"

After finishing speaking, another censor jumped out and said.

"Even if you want to appease, you should first approach him with prestige, and then treat him with virtue. How can you appease him at the beginning? What's more, since Lord Hou insists on appeasement, you should handle it yourself. If you want to push everything to the local officials. What is the use of the army?"

Then, the third censor stood up and said.

"Local officials are acting as herders for the people on behalf of the emperor, and they are not thieves. Since Lord Hou wants to appease them, he naturally wants to ensure that these people will not make trouble again."

Finally, the fourth censor made a concluding speech, saying.

"Although we are not as proficient as Lord Hou in military affairs, we also know that the army will go out and spend a lot of money. We should settle down quickly. Lord Hou's year is not peaceful, and the imperial treasury is so wasteful. Is it possible that a sentence of complicated public sentiments can be pushed away?" Are you clean?"

Ke Dao Fengxian, nothing else.

The only thing is that there are many people and they can talk!
