Li Dongyang on the side sighed softly, and said with a solemn look in his eyes: "The Anhua King Zhu Zhixiu has rebelled!"
Li Huan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then his expression showed a bit of a strange look.
To be honest, Li Huan is somewhat familiar with the major events during the Zhengde period. It is strange to say that apart from the clan rebellions during the reigns of Wenzong, Renzong, and Xuanzong in the Ming Dynasty, there really were no clan rebellions during the other generations of emperors. .
However, during the reign of Wuzong Zhu Houzhao, first Anhua King Zhu Chixiu rebelled, and then King Ning rebelled. It can be said that in the Zhengde Period alone, two clans conspired and rebelled, which is also quite rare.
Zhu Zhixiu was granted the title of King Anhua, which was naturally much inferior to that of Prince Ning, who had the title of king.
With the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, it is extremely difficult to rebel. Let alone Anhua King Zhu Zhixiu who is in the border area, even if King Ning in the south of the Yangtze River jumps out to rebel at this time, he will not be able to overturn it. There was a big storm.
The only thing that surprised and puzzled Li Huan was that if he remembered correctly, King Anhua should have rebelled in the fifth year of Zhengde. It was only the fourth year of Zhengde, so why did King Anhua rebel so early?
Just when Li Huan looked puzzled, Li Dongyang looked at him with a somewhat strange and strange look, as if King Anhua's rebellion had something to do with him.
When Li Huan came back to his senses, he naturally noticed the strange look Li Dongyang looked at him immediately.
Not only Li Dongyang, but also the British Duke Zhang Lun looked a little strange. If Li Huan couldn't react, then his reaction was too slow.
With a slight cough, Li Huan said to Zhang Lun and Li Dongyang: "You two, why did King Anhua suddenly rebel?"
At this moment, a burst of footsteps came, and Li Dongyang and Zhang Lun stopped and looked towards the entrance of the hall.
I saw Liu Yu, Wang Yangming, Yang Tinghe and Cheng Guogong Zhu Fu coming together.
Several people walked into the hall in a hurry.
Yang Tinghe subconsciously looked at Li Dongyang and said: "Chief Assistant, Your Majesty is summoning you urgently, but is there anything urgent?"
Li Dongyang glanced at a few people and said slowly: "I have just reported eight hundred miles ago that Anhua King Zhu Zhixiu has rebelled."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, with a look of astonishment on their faces.
It's okay if others rebelled, but as King Anhua was a member of the Ming Dynasty clan, how could he suddenly rebel? Besides, King Anhua was just an ordinary local clan prince. He didn't have many rights, so how could he have the ability? Rebellion.
If the King of Qin, King Jin, and King Ning of the Ming Dynasty rebelled, it would be reasonable to say that King Anhua, who was sealed in the border area, also jumped out to rebel. This would be too surprising.
However, after everyone confirmed that it was King Anhua who rebelled, their originally worried hearts were relieved.
It's not that everyone doesn't pay attention to the clan rebellion, it's actually that everyone present is the central minister of the Ming Dynasty and has a detailed understanding of the Ming Dynasty.
They knew very well that no matter how King Anhua rebelled and what support he had, it was absolutely impossible to cause any trouble. As long as the Ming Dynasty dealt with it properly, the rebellion of King Anhua would be over, and everything would be settled.
"Your Majesty has arrived"
As a sharp voice sounded, Zhu Houzhao walked in with a serious look on his face.
After glancing at the crowd, Zhu Houzhao waved his hand before everyone could greet him, sat down and looked at the crowd and said, "I have summoned you all here because there are urgent matters."
As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao glanced at Li Dongyang and Zhang Lun, and then said: "I think everyone knows by now that the Ningxia border army was bewitched by Anhua King Zhu Chixiu and rebelled."
Stroking his beard, Yang Tinghe bowed to Zhu Houzhao and said: "Your Majesty, do you know why King Anhua rebelled and why the border soldiers in Ningxia Town were bewitched by him?"
This is the key point. After all, everyone in the world knows that rebellion is an act of confiscating families and exterminating clans, especially those who participated in it were the border army soldiers from a town in Ningxia during the Ming Dynasty.
These frontier soldiers must have known what the consequences of the rebellion would be, but if these people participated in it, no one would believe it if there was no reason for it.
It is said that the government forced the people to rebel. But when there is a rebellion among the people, it is nine times out of ten that it is because the government forced the people too much. So this time, Anhua King Zhu Zhixiu, who is the prince of the clan, rebelled, and the main force was the soldiers of the border army. It is different. It would be strange if there was no reason for civil rebellion.
Zhu Houzhao handed a secret memorial to the first assistant Li Dongyang with an expressionless face and said: "This is a secret memorial that Yang Yiqing, the governor of the three sides, has urgently issued for eight hundred miles. Please take a look at it."
Just looking at Zhu Houzhao's expression, everyone's hearts sank, maybe there was something hidden in this secret performance.
Li Dongyang took the secret memorial first, opened his eyes and scanned them ten lines, a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes.
Soon the secret memorandum passed through everyone's hands. The hall was quiet, and everyone had a bit of astonishment on their faces.
Li Huan secretly smiled bitterly. Historically, Anhua King Zhu Zhixiu's rebellion was under the banner of siding with the Qing Dynasty and eradicating Liu Jin. The reason why Anhua King Zhu Zhixiu was able to get the support of the Ningxia soldiers to raise the flag to rebel was because he was worshiping the emperor. Given by Liu Jin’s New Deal.
Unexpectedly, Liu Jin went through the previous experience and walked away from the gate of hell, but his behavior became more and more radical.
If Liu Jin's new policy can be truly implemented and is not distorted and misinterpreted by officials below, then it will naturally be a policy that benefits the country and the people.
It's a pity that the New Deal implemented by Liu Jin was good, but the key implementation officials did not implement it according to Liu Jin's requirements.
In Ningxia, Liu Jin sent officials to inspect the acres of guard posts and collect land taxes. As a result, the officials sent to the local areas took the opportunity to make money wantonly. Not only did they strictly investigate the local guard officials, but even the fields under their names had already been guarded. The soldiers who had been embezzled by the officials were also extorted by the officials, and they were inexplicably burdened with the so-called grain tax.
Thanks to these officials, almost 89% of the soldiers in Ningxia Town were directly angered by these officials.
On weekdays, we can barely make ends meet, but now it's better. Liu Jin is implementing the New Deal. Instead of getting any benefits, people like them are being targeted everywhere, which completely drives people like them to a dead end.
In addition, the Anhua King Zhu Zhixiu, who was already quite ambitious, has been dreaming of Jingnan. If there is no chance, Zhu Zhixiu's dream can only be thought of.
However, Liu Jin implemented the New Deal, which directly shook the hearts of tens of thousands of guards and border soldiers in Ningxia Town.
Especially at this time, several civil servants around King Anhua advised Zhu Zhixiu to follow Emperor Wenzong's example and raise troops to quell the disaster. With the help of these civil servants, Zhu Zhixiu soon reached a dead end with those who were forced by Liu Jin. The military generals got together.
On the ninth day of the first lunar month of the fourth year of Zhengde, which was also the day of Li Huan's wedding, Zhu Zhixiu held a banquet in the palace to entertain officials of all sizes in the city and took the opportunity to launch an attack.
During the banquet, Zhu Zhixiu killed Jiang Han, the chief military officer of Ningxia, eunuch Li Zeng, young eunuch Deng Guang and others. He seized the talisman from Jiang Han and ordered the soldiers and horses in Ningxia to formally raise the flag to rebel.
In the main hall, everyone who had read Yang Yiqing's report on the whole story of Zhu Zhixiu's rebellion looked so weird. It was because they did not expect that Zhu Zhixiu's rebellion would be related to Liu Jin.
In particular, Yang Yiqing's secret memorial mentioned that the banner of Zhu Zhixiu's rebellion in Ningxia was to Qingjun side and kill Liu Jin.
Zhu Houzhao sat there and watched the reactions of everyone.
At this moment, Liu Jin, who was following Zhu Houzhao after walking out of him, prostrated himself to the ground with a look of fear on his face and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, I really don't know this."
Why do people sit at home and disaster comes from heaven?
Liu Jin never thought that just because he implemented the New Deal, Anhua King Zhu Zhixiu rebelled, and he died unjustly.
His policies were completely beneficial to the country and the people, but why did they turn into repressing the tyranny of the soldiers in the border towns when they reached the local level?
Zhu Houzhao just glanced at Liu Jin indifferently and ignored Liu Jin. Instead, he said to the crowd: "Gentlemen, let's talk about it. Anhua King Zhu Chixiu has conspired to rebel. How should the court respond?"
Everyone, look at me, and I look at you, and soon Li Dongyang stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, according to the report from Yang Yiqing, the governor of the three sides, King Anhua rebelled, and the number of soldiers he brought with him was actually not that many. In one town in Ningxia, tens of thousands of troops were stationed in the area, but the number of people who actually rebelled with King Anhua was no more than 10,000."
As he spoke, a stern look flashed in Li Dongyang's eyes and he said: "You can ask Yang Yiqing, the governor of the three sides, to personally dispatch troops from the three sides to put down Zhu Chixiu's rebellion."
Liu Yu, Yang Tinghe and others nodded after hearing this.
Anhua King Zhu Zhixiu got the support of some soldiers from the border towns in his rebellion, which seemed dangerous, but actually it wasn't that scary after thinking about it.
If the government forces the people to rebel, then it means that the rebels are very likely to sweep across the place in a short period of time, pulling in tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses.
However, Zhu Zhixiu did not get the support of the people. He only tried to win over some of the military officers who had been persecuted by the New Deal and whose interests had been harmed. He seemed to be a big threat, but in fact, he was not seen as a serious problem by everyone present.
Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly. Just looking at Zhu Houzhao's expression, it can be seen that Zhu Houzhao was actually very confident and was not too panicked.
With a quick glance, Zhu Houzhao looked at Li Huan.
Even Li Huan's expression was quite solemn. Upon seeing this, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but curiously asked Li Huan, "Li Huanqing's family, do you have any different opinions?"
Li Huan, who was deep in thought, was suddenly called upon by the emperor and came to his senses. At the same time, Yang Tinghe, Li Dongyang and others also looked at Li Huan one after another.
Under the gaze of everyone, Li Huan said with a bit of solemnity: "Returning to your majesty, I am just thinking that there is nothing wrong with the proposal of the chief assistant. With the ability of Yang Yiqing, the governor of the three sides, as long as he mobilizes in time, With soldiers and horses, it is not difficult to put down Zhu Zhixiu's rebellion."
Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly and said, "Li Qing, why do you look so solemn? Are you still worried?"
Li Dongyang stroked his beard and looked at Li Huan and said: "Captain Li, this matter is of great importance. If you really have any worries, just speak up."
Although everyone does not regard Zhu Zhixiu's rebellion as a serious problem, it is still a clan rebellion, so naturally we must be cautious.
Now looking at Li Huan's reaction, Li Dongyang, who was originally confident that he could easily put down Zhu Zhixiu's rebellion, felt inexplicably unsure.
If it is true that Zhu Zhixiu's rebellion cannot be put down in a short period of time, not to mention the harm it will bring to the Ming Dynasty if the rebellion lasts, even he, the chief minister of the cabinet, will probably leave a disgraceful mark in the history books. Pen.
After all, the history books will not only record the clan rebellion during the reign of Emperor Zhu Houzhao, but also his chief minister will also leave a bad name.
Li Huan took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Everyone, I was just wondering if there was any other help behind Zhu Zhixiu's rebellion?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and Liu Yu subconsciously said: "Mr. Li, do you mean to say that someone is supporting Zhu Zhixiu's rebellion behind his back?"
The expressions of everyone present changed slightly.
Even Zhu Houzhao, who was sitting there, looked ugly.
If there were really officials involved, the meaning would be completely different.
After all, it was just the clan colluding with local persecuted frontier troops to rebel, and the nature was not too serious. But if it is true as Li Huan said, there is someone or a force behind Zhu Zhixiu's rebellion. If you support it, its nature will be much worse.
Especially as the emperor, Zhu Houzhao seemed to be thinking of the incident where he almost died last year, and a stern look flashed in his eyes.
"Li Qing, tell me, who is behind Zhu Zhixiu's rebellion?"
You can tell Zhu Houzhao's mood at this moment just by looking at Zhu Houzhao's tense body, leaning forward slightly, and a chilling air filling the air.
Li Huan coughed slightly when he saw this, shook his head slightly and said: "Your Majesty has misunderstood what I meant. What I am worried about is whether King Anhua has colluded with the Tatars."
As soon as Li Huan said this, Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe, Wang Yangming, Zhang Lun, Zhu Fu and others secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
You must know that they were quite frightened just now.
A few days ago, Li Huan personally took charge of the execution, but the number of people killed was so high that it seemed that half of the capital was filled with the smell of blood that day.
How long had passed but Li Huan actually suspected that someone or a force was behind King Anhua's rebellion. If the emperor really believed it, who knows what kind of uproar would be caused.
I'm afraid that by then, even they will be in panic all day long.
But now that Li Huan mentioned the Tatars, everyone felt a little more relieved, and at the same time they all looked awe-inspiring.
They had indeed only thought about King Anhua Zhu Zhixiu before, but they had ignored whether King Anhua had anyone to help him.
Even if there is no one above the court or in the local area to help King Anhua, don't forget that the place where King Anhua is located is the border town of Ningxia.
And Ningxia border towns are adjacent to the grasslands. It is not impossible to say that King Anhua colluded with the Tatars.
It is even said that this possibility is very high.
They have not forgotten that Li Huancai led the army to sweep away the two Tatar tribes years ago. Because of the weather, the Tatars were unable to send out large armies in the cold winter. However, everyone knew that once the weather got warmer, the Tatars would
Revenge may come at any time.
Then it is only natural that the Tatars and King Anhua collude with each other.
Zhu Houzhao's tense body relaxed slightly, but his expression was still solemn, at least much more solemn than before. He looked at Li Huan and said, "Li Qing is not worried about this possibility."
It is true that King Anhua alone cannot make any waves, but if the Tatars are added to the mix, it will be a big trouble.
The Tatars were the powerful enemies of the Ming Dynasty. Ever since the battle of Tumubao, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty did not dare to underestimate the foreigners on the grasslands.
"Li Qing, do you think the Tatars really colluded with King Anhua?"
Being stared at by the emperor, Li Huan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Your Majesty, I don't know. I just assumed the worst possibility. As for whether King Anhua colluded with the Tatars, I'm afraid it's not
Only King Anhua and the top rebels knew about it."
As he spoke, Li Huan straightened his expression and said with a bit of solemnity: "But no matter what, we have to guard against this. It would be fine if King Anhua did not collude with the Tatars. What if the other party really does
If we collude with the Tatars, we may be in big trouble in the border town."
No need for Li Huan to say, everyone present also realized this.
If Li Huan had not mentioned the threat of the Tatars, in accordance with the countermeasures proposed by Li Dongyang, he ordered Yang Yiqing, the governor of the three sides, to mobilize elite troops from the three sides to put down Zhu Chixiu's rebellion.
In that case, the elite troops from the three sides would be transferred away to quell Zhu Zhixiu's rebellion, and the defensive strength of the border towns would inevitably be greatly emptied.
At this time, if the Tatars invade in large numbers, I am afraid that the defenses on the three sides will be broken at once, and the Tatar army will cross the Great Wall and move southward like a torrent.
Wang Yangming said solemnly: "The elite soldiers on the three sides must not move lightly, otherwise once the Tatars take the opportunity to invade, it will be too late to regret it!"
Li Dongyang frowned and said: "But King Anhua's rebellion must be put down in the shortest time. Otherwise, if it cannot be put down, the Ming Dynasty will definitely be in turmoil."
The meaning hidden in Li Dongyang's words is unclear to everyone. Now it's just King Anhua who has jumped out to rebel. If the court can't even pacify King Anhua, who knows if there are any other clans in those places.
The ambitious people took the opportunity to jump out.
After all, the Ming Dynasty had the precedent of Emperor Wenzong successfully appeasement. Since Emperor Wenzong was able to successfully appease the emperor, there is no guarantee that no one in the clan would want to imitate Emperor Wenzong.
Don't underestimate the greed of people. That is the supreme position in the world. With successful examples, it would not be surprising even if a few princes really pop up to rebel.
Didn’t you see that not many years after King Anhua’s rebellion, King Ning jumped out and rebelled? Isn’t it because of the lack of people’s hearts and spying on the supreme position?
While speaking, Li Dongyang looked at Li Huan and said, "Director Li, do you have any solutions?"
Despite Li Huan's solemn expression, from the beginning to now, Li Huan has always behaved in a calm and unhurried manner, as if he had anticipated this situation and was not worried at all.
After hearing Li Dongyang's question, even Zhu Houzhao looked at Li Huan, with a hint of hope in his eyes.
Li Huan had never done anything he was unsure of, and Li Huan had never let him down, so Zhu Houzhao looked at Li Huan at this moment.
Li Huan saw everyone's expressions in his eyes, showed a smile at the corner of his mouth, bowed to Zhu Houzhao and said: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten that last year I was ordered to go to Shaanxi to inspect the relief of the victims, and I asked your Majesty for orders to go to Shaanxi
Recruit young men and women on the spot to serve in the capital camp..."
Before Li Huan finished speaking, Zhu Houzhao, who was sitting there, his eyes suddenly lit up, his face filled with a bit of surprise, he stood up and said: "I understand, Li Qing, you mean that I was left in Shaanxi by you."
The 50,000-strong army in training?"
Not only Zhu Houzhao, but also everyone in the cabinet, Zhu Fu, and Zhang Lun also reacted after being stunned.
How could they not know that Li Huan caused such a big commotion in Shaanxi?
Especially when Li Huan returned to Beijing, he brought back 50,000 soldiers and horses from Shaanxi. Although those 50,000 soldiers and horses were not elite soldiers, they were all young and strong. As long as they were trained rigorously, they would definitely be a fighting force.
At that time, they also heard that Li Huan had recruited 100,000 troops in Shaanxi, but only 50,000 were left in Shaanxi. In fact, all the civil and military officials in the court knew about this.
After all, the roster of the 50,000-strong army was in the Beijing camp, and the imperial court had to allocate military pay every year.
It's just that the Beijing Camp has always been stationed in the capital, so everyone subconsciously forgot that there were still 50,000 soldiers and horses in Shaanxi under the jurisdiction of the Beijing Camp.
If Li Huan hadn't mentioned it, they would have never imagined that the imperial court would have such a large army at its disposal in the three areas.
Thinking of the existence of this army, the chief assistant Li Dongyang and everyone else who had a sad face secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhu Houzhao laughed loudly and said: "Okay, okay, Li Qing stationed his troops in Shaanxi. Now that I think about it, it was a wonderful move."
A full 50,000 soldiers and horses who have been training for more than half a year can not only mobilize part of the troops to put down the rebellion of King Anhua at this time, but can also support Yang Yiqing, the governor of the three sides, and strengthen the defense forces of the three sides.
It's fine if the Tatars don't come. Even if there is a real army attacking the border, with such a force to help, the court at least does not have to worry that the three sides will be easily defeated by the Tatars.
Zhu Houzhao's expression straightened up, and he looked at Li Huan with a stern look and said, "Li Qing comes forward to listen to the order!"
Li Huan looked solemn when he heard this, strode forward, bowed to Zhu Houzhao, and said in a deep voice: "I am here!"
Zhu Houzhao looked at Li Huan, his eyes full of trust, and said slowly: "Li Qing, I will appoint you as a mighty general, governor of the world's troops, and responsible for pacifying the rebellion of King Anhua."
Li Huan couldn't help being stunned. He felt that the title Zhu Houzhao gave him as a mighty general was a bit familiar. He subconsciously raised his head and looked at Zhu Houzhao.
Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe, Wang Yangming, Zhu Fu, Zhang Lun and others on the side were all stunned at this moment, looking at Zhu Houzhao stupidly, obviously confused by Zhu Houzhao's operation.
