Everyone was slightly startled, and then Gong Liangyu said: "Yes."

Immediately, he continued: "I think the abbot must have had some last resort difficulties. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

All the people lowered their heads unnaturally. They all mourned for the head of state in their hearts. This was too disrespectful.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this rebellion should have been caused by the state leader, because he went to Jianghuai to inspect the world's granaries.

It can be said that he is the straw.

What can he do?

Can he hold on under the coercion of the rebels?

Although I don’t know the details, I can probably guess what I went through by thinking with my toes.

If Lu Zhengyuan were here, he would definitely say that rebellion is not my intention, and my heart is for peace.

Isn’t it great to be the head of the Ning Kingdom? Only fools would rebel.

"I heard that he also wrote about my ten deadly sins?"

Xue Qing stood up and said, "Master Lu must have been forced to write with the knife on his neck."

He felt very guilty. It was his idea to check the food requisition office.

I also wanted to find someone to share the burden with, so I jumped into the fire and rushed together. How else could such a thing happen?

"He also became the Minister of Household Affairs in the Southern Dynasty?"

Everyone felt sorry again, the father-in-law's life was really hard.

Guan Ning looked at Xue Qing and said, "You have an opponent now. Let's see if you, the Minister of Household Affairs, do better, or Lu Zhengyuan did better in the Southern Dynasties."

Xue Qing was confused, not knowing what His Majesty meant by this.

But it seems that His Majesty is not too angry.

Fei Tian immediately stood up and said, "May I ask Your Majesty, how should we deal with this rebellion?"

"Your Majesty, please make it clear."

The new Minister of Rites, Meng Hong, stood up.

The questions asked by the two ministers were also waiting for His Majesty's attitude, whether it was civil or military.

If the Ministry of Rites sent the letter to send officials and envoys to negotiate peace, it would be nothing more than inviting peace and persuading surrender to negotiate terms. If the letter came from the Ministry of War, it would be a matter for the Ministry of War and Tiance Mansion.

"Don't worry about it for now."

What's surprising is Guan Ning's answer, "Don't worry about it. What does it mean?"

"Most of the imperial army has not returned from abroad. The Anxi army is still resting and reorganizing. It is a waste of troops and troops to send out to defend the capital, so we don't need to pay attention to it for the time being."

Guan Ning explained it in detail.

Zhao Nanxing said: "Your Majesty, the two states of Jianghuai and Jianghuai are the rich areas of our dynasty, but they are now occupied by rebels. If they are not cleared up in time, it may lead to disaster. Now the imperial court is strictly implementing the examination law, and there are strong voices of resistance. If

If the imperial court can severely punish the rebels, it will definitely deter Xiaoxiao!"

As the former Jiangzhou state pastor, Zhao Nanxing worked hard to bring order to the chaos. Wen Xu was appointed state pastor with his recommendation, but now something like this happened, which made Zhao Nanxing very angry.

Must be severely punished.

"Ignore it for now."

Guan Ning's tone was very calm, and he said: "It's not that easy to rebel. Do you really think that just building a Southern Dynasty will be the Southern Dynasty?"

"The army they have is the original 20,000 Nanfu Army."

After a pause, Guan Ning spoke again: "Pang Qingyun, you don't have to blame yourself. It's my fault that the Nanfu Army rebelled."

An army cannot rebel without a reason. Guan Ning naturally knows the reason. During the war, military supplies are tight and priority must be given to supplying the front line. As the Nanfu army left behind, there is naturally a shortage, and they also want to go to the battlefield, so they feel unbalanced.

At this time, Dong was in the Food Recruitment Department, so he used his authority to find food for the Nanfu Army, and gained support from it. Of course, he himself also became greedy, and then the current situation resulted.

Guan Ning had grasped these situations very early. Even when they plotted a rebellion, Guan Ning had already received the report from the secret guards.

Of course, the secret guards can't find out everything, but they can analyze it based on the information they get. It's just that Guan Ning didn't pay attention, and he was even adding fuel to the fire.

For example, the sudden dismissal of Fang Chi's position as state pastor and the summoning of him to the capital had ulterior motives.

This is a risky move, and Guan Ning feels very confident about it.

The national treasury is empty, and the war has destroyed the family's fortune. It is time to raise money and food.

But how to raise money?

It is definitely not possible to squeeze the common people, nor can they be squeezed out. Guan Ning has never cheated the poor, only the rich.

There is no doubt that the gentry in the Jianghuai area are suitable targets, but you cannot reach out for no reason. You can only use this method. You have rebelled, so what I do is also appropriate.

Isn't this a valid reason?

It is said that when the government forces the people to rebel, they have to rebel.

Now that the emperor wants you to rebel, you have to.

This is a good thing!

It allows him to make a fortune legitimately and establish his authority.

Good things like this are rare.

As for rebelling against Guan Ning, I'm not too worried. He is a rebel who started his career. How can it be that easy? He is not a fool.

Let's wait and see what happens. There's no need to go to war now.

Guan Ning's words reassured them. Thinking about it, there was really no need to panic. It was obvious that these people were forced to fight back. They seemed well prepared, but in fact they were very rough.

What's the use of temporarily recruiting an army during a war?

Xue Qing said: "Your Majesty is not a foolish king, but a wise king. With this, the court can be in an invincible position. Moreover, fighting and building an army does not require money and food. Just maintaining the operation of the court requires a lot of expenses."

,This is not an easy task.”

As the Minister of Household Affairs in Daning, Xue Qing, the chief steward of Daning, has the most say. He feels that these rebels are stupid. The bigger the stalls are, the more expensive they are. It is really stupid to build a court.

"The butler still understands the truth."

Guan Ning smiled and said: "Whether the Southern Dynasty can be sustained depends on how Lu Zhengyuan, the Minister of Household Affairs, does."

I don’t know what the meaning of these words is, and others dare not guess.

Gong Liangyu continued: "But it's not appropriate to ignore or step on it. There must be something, right?"

"so."

"You go and spread the news to Jianghuai that I said before that you can get land and titles by donating money."

"yes."

Gong Liangyu secretly laughed in his heart, this move was really heartbreaking.

"Cheng Jing, you choose two courageous eunuchs to preach the imperial edict to me. You can rebel, but you must first pay the autumn tax. In addition, you must not bully the people. This is my bottom line."

"yes!"

Cheng Jing responded, "It's not difficult to choose two people, but I don't know what His Majesty's will is."

"Okay, let's not mention this matter for the time being. It just so happens that everyone is gathering together for an inner court meeting."

Everyone was speechless. Your Majesty, you have such a big heart.

"Peng Fang, please first tell me how the implementation of the examination method is going, what difficulties you have encountered, and what problems there are."

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the law on passing the examination has been distributed throughout the country. At present... there is a strong voice of resistance, and there are people who have been dismissed from office and committed suicide in some places."

As the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel who was responsible for recommending the method of examination, Peng Fang felt very ashamed. Was there something wrong with his own method? Is there any problem more serious than rebellion?

"Those who are dismissed from office and serve as soldiers will never be hired!"

Guan Ning said coldly: "No one is willing to do the hard work. There is no shortage of people to be officials. The method of passing the examination is to set limits for examinations and to hold people accountable. First, we set requirements for each state and state pastor. We must pass the examination.

As long as the law continues to be implemented, if you don't do it well, don't do it, and of course you can rebel."
