Chapter Eleven The Emperor

In the Xiliang General's Mansion, Li Wei and his son sat opposite each other.

The black hair on Li Wei's temples turned a lot whiter again. The blow that a white-haired person gave a black-haired person was not a one-time job, but a long-term torture.

I could have fought through wars before, but now I have pacified the northwest and have more free days, making him even more sad.

Unlike Li Wei's haggard and old age, Li Xin was a little angry. He frowned and said, "The White Lotus Sect bandits in Hedong have caused trouble. So many days have passed, and it has harmed more than a dozen counties. The court has reacted so slowly."

Li Wei was not very interested in this, but just asked according to the words: "The situation in Hedong is complicated, and there are many powerful people everywhere, and he has always liked to manage his own affairs."

Li Xin disagreed and even felt indifferent to his father's indifferent attitude, a little incredible, "Dad, Hedong is based on Yingzhou, Yingzhou and Mongolia. He once fought with the Mongolians, but he was lucky enough to win. They were extremely warlike, and they were skillful in bowing and horses, and were not afraid of death. If the chaos in Hedong lasted for too long, I would be afraid that the Mongols would go south from Yingzhou and lose Hedong. The Central Plains would be smooth all the way, and the Mongolian cavalry could drive straight into the Central Plains."

He analyzed it very well. If Chen Shou had definitely given him a thumbs-up, but Li Wei still looked like he was not concerned about his own affairs.

"The ancestors of the Li family all guarded Xiliang. As for Hedong, our father and son were not in their position and did not do their own affairs."

Li Xin was stunned for a moment, "Dad, national affairs should not be abolished by the public for personal gain. My son begs his father to write to the court and request to send troops to quell the rebellion. My father is old and should not be allowed to go on an expedition. My son only needs to bring 10,000 troops, which is enough to pacify the Hedong sect's riots within two months."

"Hmph, I'm abolishing the public because of my own private life, so I'm abolishing the public because of my own private life!" Li Wei slapped the table and left with a squirm.

In the empty yard, Li Xin was silent. He looked up at the dizzy sky, his eyes were still firm.

Chen Shou was unsure of what the chaos in Hedong would turn into.

He urgently needed the news sent back by Zhang Zhengyuan, but there was no news for a long time.

The White Lotus Sect hated Zhang Zhengyuan to the core and regarded it as the first stumbling block on the road to rebellion. In fact, Zhang Zhengyuan is now in Hedong and is protecting most of the people from the disaster of the White Lotus Sect.

Yanqing Temple is a branch of Taoist orthodox religion, while the White Lotus religion belongs to the branch of Buddhism, which can be regarded as a disguised dispute over Buddhism and Taoism.

Chen Shou was sitting at home and was anxious. He was not Wei Yunse, so he could arrange troops to quell the rebellion.

After all, I am just a regular attendant of a cavalry. Although I have been granted a title, I only guarantee my glory and wealth, and I cannot issue any political orders.

While he was worried, the maid outside said, "Master, Lord Huang is here."

"Let him in."

Huang Zhen entered the room and smiled and said, "Brother Zhongyong, your yard is too safe. Ordinary people broke in and didn't find you yet, and they were already dizzy."

Chen Shou said angrily: "I don't have the heart to joke with you. Have you heard about Hedong?"

When Huang Zhen talked about this, he was a little angry and complained: "It was just a sect bandits who caused trouble. They only needed a government order and passed it to Xiliang. They could be calmed down every day. I don't know what the Secretary of the Central Secretariat is doing, and I ignore it for a long time. Wouldn't it be a sitting-and-seeker to build momentum?"

Chen Shou smiled bitterly and said, "Don't you know what's going on? But I know clearly that our Wei Prime Minister was hesitating whether to invite the Mongols to go south or let the Hedong tyrants recruit troops on their own."

Huang Zhenteng stood up, his eyebrows flew into his temples, and he shook his fingers and said, "If this is the case, the world will be in chaos!"

After yelling angrily, he slowly calmed down and said in a deep voice: "I understand, do you know why he did this trick?"

Chen Shou said in confusion: "Why?"

"Hmph, Wei Yunse has been in charge of the government for many years. His power comes from Kaifeng Prefecture, but his money comes from Hedong. Countless powerful supporters helped him to obtain money, making His Majesty happy. Wei Yunse also reciprocates and vigorously promotes the children of Wardong. His subordinates are all Hedong people in charge, and it is not surprising to take the opportunity to persuade him to take this stupid move. After all, they still bully His Majesty the old, the prince is cowardly, and there is no one in the court!"

The people of Hedong want to make the situation bigger, and they do have their reasons. They are all local tyrants, but they may have become some vassal states.

Those places are all big cities and towns, and they can break up the soil and become king by occupying one.

In a place like Jinyang City, there were countless elite soldiers and generals under Taizu's command at that time, and led his troops to attack Jinyang three times without falling, which shows how solid the city is.

Chen Shou became increasingly determined to his thoughts, "We must let the Xiliang soldiers quell the rebellion, otherwise there will be chaos in the world."

The Central Plains dynasty has always been unified, but don’t think there is no danger of division.

Today, the Southern Tang and Northern Qi have lasted for almost a hundred years, and huge gaps and differences have appeared in many places.

If there are really a division between heroes and no heroes appear, they may really become small countries.

Even if someone can clear the Liuhe River, it will be a protracted catastrophe. I don’t know how many people will...

There is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles, and the white bones are exposed in the wild...

It sounds scary.

Moreover, I have no hard power at all. If the rules are broken now, I will not be able to compete with those powerful people. If it really comes that day, the first thing I am unlucky will be myself.

Huang Zhen nodded frequently. From the beginning, he felt that only the Xiliang soldiers could quickly suppress the rebellion and minimize the losses of the court.

Chen Shou hesitated and said, "I am from Xiliang. If I rashly ask Your Majesty to issue an order to order Xiliang troops to advance eastward, I will be afraid of causing unnecessary suspicion."

The soldiers and horses of Xiliang entered the pass, which was so sensitive that people could think of Dong Zhuolai at first.

This ruthless man ruined the Han royal family and couldn't help but be unaware of it.

Huang Zhen rolled his eyes and clasped his fists and said, "Sir, if I can make me face the saint, I should make a generous statement, analyze the pros and cons, and work hard to promote the emperor's order."

Chen Shou was waiting for this sentence, nodding and said, "Okay, then I will take you to meet the saint immediately and tell His Majesty about Hedong to know."

If you can see the emperor, it is a good opportunity given by God, and the probability of promotion will be greatly increased.

Huang Zhen has been working as a minister for more than ten years, and his butt has not moved, so he can't wait. He came to join Chen Shou because Chen Shou could let him see the emperor.

Today's Daqi is very subtle. An old emperor makes many things more unpredictable. It is not impossible for the old emperor to be happy and replace Wei Yunse.

The final division of the Daqi royal family was all tied to this old emperor, and his own suppression of his son would lead to the fact that no matter which prince came to power, he would be controlled by the ministers behind him after his death.
