Yang Jiumei received the report below and realized the seriousness of the problem. She immediately sent the city defense troops into various parts of the city to maintain social stability, and at the same time ordered the police to investigate the originator of the rumors. After doing this, she sent people to invite Wang Laozhi and
Fang Jinzhi.
Yang Jiumei, Wang Laozhi and Fang Jinzhi exchanged some pleasantries and each took their seats. Yang Jiumei got straight to the point and said: "You must have felt the earthquake not long ago." The two of them looked at each other, and Fang Jinzhi said: "Your Excellency asked us to come.
, presumably to stabilize people’s hearts, right?”
Yang Jiumei frowned slightly and said, "It's not a big deal if there's just an earthquake. Just do disaster relief and appeasement work. But some people are taking advantage of the earthquake to spread rumors and make people panic. This matter must be paid attention to!" Wang Laozhi!
He nodded and said: "No wonder we saw that the city was under martial law when we entered the city. I wonder what rumors are there?" Yang Jiumei said: "They are just exaggerating the harm of natural disasters, and far-fetched some of the policies of King Yan.
Most of the people are ignorant. When they hear such words, they will naturally feel very frightened. I have implemented martial law measures on the entire city, but this method can only cure the symptoms, not the root cause, so I
I hurriedly sent someone to invite you two."
Fang Jinzhi's red lips parted slightly: "We are all subordinates of the leader. If you have orders, please speak out and we will obey them." Yang Jiumei nodded and said, "Thank you!" After a pause, she said, "Since someone is using rumors to tell you,
To incite the people, we have to use another explanation to reassure the people. The Mingjiao's influence among the people is increasing day by day, and has surpassed Buddhism and Taoism, so we ask the Mingjiao to come forward to clarify the rumors."
Fang Jinzhi and Wang Laozhi nodded. Fang Jinzhi said: "This is a matter within our scope." Then he stood up, and Wang Laozhi and Yang Jiumei also stood up. Fang Jinzhi said: "Let's get started." Yang Jiumei
He nodded and said, "Thank you." Fang Jinzhi smiled and said, "You're welcome, sir." He bowed slightly to Yang Jiumei, then turned and left. Wang Laozhi also bowed to Yang Jiumei and followed Fang Jinzhi.
At the same time, in a mansion in Yanjing, two people were discussing the current affairs excitedly. One of the two people was Xiao Yu, the former consort of Liao Dynasty and the husband of Yelu Hongling, and the other was Yan Yunshi.
Duan Yao, the eldest son of the Duan family, the largest noble family in the six states. The two of them were drinking and talking about what was happening. They were both very excited. Xiao Yu said: "God has sent such a huge natural disaster, which shows that destiny is not in his hands at all."
Peng's body! He Yang Peng is just a rebellious official and traitor, so God is angry with him! If man doesn't punish him, God will punish him!" Xiao Yu danced and gnashed his teeth, looking like he wished Yang Peng died immediately.
Duan Yao picked up the jug and filled the wine glass in front of Xiao Yu, and then filled his own wine glass. He put the jug down and said happily: "In this way, the people can finally understand the true nature of Yang Peng.
, he is a rebellious minister, and you will not end well if you follow him! The earthquake is a warning!" He picked up the wine glass and said: "Brother, the time has come for us to achieve great things!" Xiao Yu picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
, slammed the wine glass on the table, and said loudly: "This thief will be killed now!" Duan Yao also drank up the wine, put down the wine glass, and said: "I have sent people to secretly assemble our people, brother.
, you quickly contact the city defense army. We will rise up at midnight three days later using fireworks as a signal to seize Yanjing and achieve a great cause!"
Xiao Yu nodded and said: "That's right!" He glanced at Duan Yao and said: "There is no problem in contacting the city defense army. But there are some things we have to talk about first. After this is done, who will be the master of Yanyun?
"Duan Yao said: "Didn't we already talk about this matter? After it is completed, the lower class will regard brother Xiao as the king of Yanyun, defect to the Liao Kingdom together, and share the wealth! We people will overthrow Yang Peng.
, not for glory and wealth, but to save the people from fire and water, for the sake of Confucian righteousness, we don’t care about anything else.”
Xiao Yu smiled and said: "Young Master Duan is so righteous, Xiao admires him!" After a pause, he slapped the table, stood up, and said loudly, "That's it! I'll go get ready! Three days later, see
Fireworks are good, let’s start a fight together!”
In the next few days, reports from various places were sent to Yang Jiumei. The situation in each place was different. The areas south and east of the eyes suffered relatively small losses, while the losses in Shunzhou and Tanzhou north of Yanjing were relatively small.
But it is extremely serious. According to current statistics, several thousand people have died. This is not the most serious situation. The most serious situation is in the mountainous areas along the Gubei Pavilion. The terrain has been completely changed due to the earthquake.
The mountains actually sank into the ground, and the 10,000 Yanyun troops originally stationed at Gubei Pavilion suffered heavy losses. At least 3,000 people were killed, and the rest had retreated to Tanzhou.
Yang Jiumei immediately wrote a detailed disaster report and ordered the horse to be sent to Tianjing New City. At the same time, more troops were sent to Tanzhou to prevent unexpected events.
It was late at night, and the entire Yanjing City fell silent, but there was a bit of uneasiness in the silence.
In several large courtyards in the city, hundreds of thousands of people gathered. They were dressed in various colors, holding messy weapons in their hands, and their eyes showed excitement. The leader of the group was the eldest son of the Duan family.
Duan Yao and his father Duan Wenrui.
Duan Wenrui looked at the sky, swallowed nervously, and asked Duan Yao: "Yao'er, is it time?" Duan Yao couldn't help but swallowed, shook his head and said: "Not yet, I haven't struck the third watch yet.
.”
Duan Wenrui said nervously: "As a father, I am really worried as a father. I don't know, I don't know if it will succeed?" Duan Yao was also very nervous and said irritably: "Father, don't worry, we have been planning for so long.
There is no reason for failure! Even if only a few of our noble clans rebelled, they could capture Yanjing City, not to mention that Xiao Yu now leads the city defense army to revolt! This time the rebellion is sure to happen, absolutely foolproof! When Yanjing City is captured, Yanyun Sixteen
The states will definitely respond one after another. When we cede territory and become kings and surrender to the Liao Kingdom, the matter will be settled, and our name will go down in history!" Duan Yao became more and more excited as he spoke, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and the fear in his heart gradually disappeared.
After hearing what his son said, Duan Wenrui's originally uneasy heart calmed down.
Not long after, the sound of the watch finally came from the street outside. Everyone couldn't help but become nervous. After listening carefully, Duan Yao said: "Here, it's the third watch." He turned to look at his subordinates and found that they were nearby.
Thousands of people were staggering around sparsely. Some were dozing off against the trees with their spears in their arms, while others were sitting on the ground chatting. Duan Yao suddenly became so angry that he shouted: "Stand still!"
When everyone suddenly heard Duan Yao's roar, they were startled and hurriedly stood up. This time, they finally looked like an army.
Duan Yao said excitedly: "The time has come, everyone is ready to take action! Everyone will be rewarded with a big reward after everything is done!" When everyone heard that there was a big reward, their eyes radiated with green light. Duan Yao turned to the old housekeeper beside him and said: "Hello!"
Signal!" The old housekeeper responded, hurriedly ran to a large firework placed not far away, put the torch over and lit the fuse, and then ran away.
But as soon as he took two steps away, the firework that was originally stuck on the ground actually fell down, and it fell towards everyone. When everyone suddenly saw this situation, they were all shocked and scattered in shock.
Running away, in the midst of this commotion, the fireworks made a loud roar and flew into the middle of the crowd, and then exploded into a large ball of red sparks. Screams came one after another, and the scene was as chaotic as a pot exploding.
"Quiet! Quiet! Stand still! Stand still!..." Duan Yao shouted at the top of his lungs. The scene gradually calmed down, but those injured by the fireworks were still covering their cheeks and even their buttocks and shouting.
Duan Yao looked at the scene in front of him, his face was livid, and he shouted: "What is it called?" The cry of pain at the scene suddenly became much quieter. Duan Yao said: "Everyone who is injured should go down and apply medicine, so don't embarrass yourself here!" An injured guy
He said loudly: "I won't go down, I will follow the young master in the uprising!" The other injured people also shouted the same. These guys were not injured, and they didn't want to miss the opportunity to rob the treasury and make a fortune because of a minor injury.
When Duan Yao saw everyone saying this, he was naturally very happy. He nodded in approval and said: "They are all good. I really did not misjudge the person!" Then he turned to look at the old housekeeper, his face darkened, and he shouted angrily: "
What happened?" The old housekeeper looked annoyed and muttered: "You villain, you don't even know it, it fell down on its own."
Duan Wenrui walked to Duan Yao and whispered: "I'm afraid it's unlucky to have something like this happen from the beginning, so why not..."
Duan Yao said: "Father, don't worry, this is just a small accident. We have made preparations in all aspects. We are sure of victory, how can we give up halfway!" Duan Wenrui felt that his son was right, so he said nothing more.
Duan Yao shouted to the old housekeeper: "Why don't you bring another firework over here!"
The old housekeeper hurriedly responded and ran down. After a while, he came back with another firework and stuck it on the grass. In order to prevent what happened just now, Duan Yao went to check it himself. After confirming that it was correct, he retreated to
On the side, he said to the old housekeeper: "Send the signal quickly, it's been delayed a lot of time!"
The old housekeeper responded quickly and took a torch to light the fuse. This time, everyone learned from the previous lesson. When they saw the fuse ignited, they all took a step back subconsciously, with nervous expressions on their faces. This time it didn't happen.
Unexpectedly, the fireworks flew into the night sky with a whoosh, and then a gorgeous red flower exploded in the night sky. When everything was silent, this firework was particularly eye-catching.
Duan Yao pulled out his sword, raised it high towards the gate, and shouted: "Action!" A thousand people immediately shouted, rushed out of the gate, and rushed straight towards the palace of King Yan.
Duan Yao and others had previously formulated a detailed action plan. According to the plan, once the signal was sent, the troops of his Duan family would rush straight to the palace of King Yan. In addition, the troops of the Sun family and the Zhao family would attack the government office, while Xiao Yu would lead the uprising.
The city defense army completely annihilated the rest of the city defense army and controlled the four gates. The Sun family and Zhao family here are also famous noble families in the Sixteenth State of Yanyun. They are slightly inferior to the Duan family and can be said to be ranked second.
The three Shilin families, the Sun family and the Zhao family have been plotting rebellion with the Duan family recently. In fact, these three families are not the only ones participating in the rebellion, many Shilin families have participated.
However, the power in the hands of these Shilin families is allocated to the three largest families, Duan, Sun, and Zhao.
The total number of troops put into action by these Shilin families exceeds 3,000. Don't misunderstand and think that these more than 3,000 people are all scholars. In fact, the so-called 'rebel army' that was put together temporarily by these 3,000 people, except for Duan Yao and a few other leaders
In order to overthrow Yang Peng's rule, these Shilin families organized all these servants.
Just when Duan Yao sent out the signal, Xiao Yu was leading thousands of city defense troops who had been bribed by him to gather in the school grounds of a military camp and wait. Suddenly seeing the signal, Xiao Yu immediately became excited and turned to face the man standing behind him.
The majestic general wearing armor and cape said: "Xiao Feng, take action!" Xiao Feng, a former fierce general of the Liaoning Kingdom, is now the commander of the Yanjing City Defense Army and is responsible for the security of Yanjing. In the entire Yanyun system,
Only Yanjing, Tianjing New City and Jingzhao Prefecture have specialized city defense armies. Their command positions are very high, second only to the legion commanders of the main legions. Unexpectedly, Xiao Feng, the commander of the Bianliang City Defense Army, would be bribed by Xiao Yu
.
Xiao Feng nodded, raised his right hand, and waved forward, and the five thousand city defense troops immediately moved towards the outside of the military camp...
Thrilling shouts suddenly rang out from all over the city, and many people who had fallen asleep were violently awakened. When they heard the noise coming from outside, they couldn't help but be suspicious, and rushed to the windows and behind the doors to look outside.
Duan Yao led more than a thousand of his men to open the gate of King Yan's palace and swarmed in. He saw all the servants, maids and guards in the palace fleeing to the backyard. Duan Yao did not expect that things would go so smoothly. People from King Yan's side
All of them actually fled without fighting. They were overjoyed in their excitement. They felt that they were truly an unparalleled hero, a peerless hero. Even the ancestors of the Tang Dynasty, Song Dynasty, and Li Mu Baiqi were greatly inferior to themselves.
Duan Yao shouted loudly: "Brothers, don't let them run away! Chase after me!" More than a thousand people shouted in unison and poured into the backyard in a chaotic manner.
A large group of people rushed into the backyard, but not a single person was seen. Everyone in the palace had disappeared. These mobs no longer pursued the enemy, but scattered and ran into various buildings and courtyards to loot.
When the previous things came, you were busy holding vases, rolling calligraphy and paintings, and were very busy. These guys have been slaves in the houses of scholars for a long time, and they are all very knowledgeable people. They know that these calligraphy and painting vases are all valuable when they are taken out.
Very valuable. When Duan Yao saw that his men were only focused on looting, he was very angry and ordered everyone to gather immediately to continue searching for the enemy. But at this moment, the money was already so attractive, who would listen to his orders?
Just when the chaos was overwhelming, a loud noise suddenly came from outside the palace, like a thunderbolt from the blue. The 'rebels' who were looting everywhere in the palace were all startled, and Duan Yao shouted: "What's going on?
?" said a person next to him; "Wait for my subordinates to go out and take a look!" The man said and ran towards the front door.
After a while, everyone saw him stumbling back and running back, with a look of extreme fear on his face, as if he had seen a ghost. He ran to Duan Yao, his feet went weak and he knelt down, stammering and tremblingly: "
No, no, no, sir, we, we, we are, are, being, surrounded by Yan Yun’s army!”
Duan Yao was shocked and shouted: "This is impossible! Xiao Feng led the army to destroy the city defense army, how could there be an army to surround us?" "Qian, it's absolutely true!" At this moment, there was a sudden voice outside the palace.
A shout was like a tsunami. The hearts of the "rebels" jumped, and then the shouts came one after another. The momentum was like a rainbow and thrilling. The "rebels" were horrified, like ants on a hot pot, terrified.
Don't know what to do.
Suddenly, the thrilling shouts stopped, and a majestic man's voice came from a distance: "Listen to the rebels inside, you have been surrounded. If you want to survive, quickly put down your weapons and surrender, otherwise the army will
If you attack, you will be destroyed!"
These 'rebels' were just temporary pieces put together by domestic slaves and long-term workers. They had no fighting will to speak of. As soon as they heard the shouts outside, they had the idea of surrendering, but there was no one to take the lead, so they were still hesitating for a moment.
Duan Yao said to everyone: "Don't be afraid, everyone, they are bluffing! Huh, there is nothing wrong with my calculation. We are sure of victory. This city defense army must be just a patrol passing by! Each of us can spit
Drown them!" When everyone heard this, their original fear suddenly disappeared and they all laughed.
Duan Yao raised his sword and said loudly: "Brothers, let's go out together and kill them all!" Everyone shouted: "Kill all the Yanyun dog thieves, kill all the Yanyun dog thieves...!" Duan Yao was very excited.
, he ran towards the gate first, followed closely by the 'rebels', who kept shouting.
A large group of people poured into the front yard, and then poured into the gate. Suddenly, hundreds of city defense army officers and soldiers were lined up in formation, ready. The 'rebels' who were at the front were shocked.
, stopped one after another, but the people behind were still rushing forward, and as a result, they were pushed towards the Yanyun line outside the gate. The 'rebels' in front saw the murderous city defense army getting closer and closer,
But they couldn't help themselves, they couldn't help but become very agitated and angry, and started shouting and cursing one after another.
The officer in Yanyun's army raised his right hand and waved forward. The crossbowman who had been ready to launch immediately fired the arrow. There was only a loud sound of "swish" and "swish", and the 'rebellion army' was immediately shot over.
Ten people. Then the sergeants with long spears came out and stabbed the "rebels". There were loud screams and blood flying. The "rebels" fell down like wheat being harvested. In the blink of an eye, corpses were scattered all over the ground.
The 'rebels' were so frightened that they trampled on each other and rushed back to the palace.
Duan Yao had just recovered from the shock, his face was pale and he said in horror: "This, what is going on? Why, why are there so many city defense troops?"
At this moment, a huge noise suddenly came from the gate. Everyone was already there, and then someone stumbled over to report: "No, it's not good! The city defense army, the city defense army has come in!" Duan Yao was shocked, and before he could wait for him, Duan Yao was shocked.
As they were talking, someone shouted loudly: "Run away! Let's run to the back!" For a moment, everyone was scrambling and running towards the backyard. However, just as they entered the backyard, they suddenly heard huge and orderly footsteps coming from the direction of the back door.
As soon as there was a sound, hundreds of city defense soldiers, holding torches in one hand and swords in the other, surged in.
The 'rebels' were so frightened that they turned around subconsciously, only to see the city defense troops coming in from the front yard approaching. Thousands of city defense troops surrounded the 'rebels' at the lake in the backyard, and the 'rebels' spread their wings.
Unable to escape, everyone was extremely frightened and had no idea what to do.
A Yanyun officer shouted loudly: "Put down your weapons!" Then all the soldiers shouted in unison; "Put down your weapons!!" The sound was like rolling thunder. The 'rebellion army' was already frightened, but at this time, the Yanyun army shouted
Fan shouted loudly and were frightened out of their wits. They all threw away their weapons and knelt down to beg for mercy. However, Mr. Duan Yao stood alone among the crowd. He was the only one standing. He was very conspicuous. His face
He had an expression of extreme horror and disbelief at the same time. He still couldn't accept this fact until now. He probably still thought that the scene in front of him was an unreal nightmare.
A Yanyun officer ran over, grabbed his collar with one hand, dragged him out, threw him to the ground, and cursed: "You idiot, you dare to rebel, you are so fucking impatient!"
Duan Yao finally came to his senses, raised his head and glared at the officer, and cursed viciously: "Don't be complacent. When our people come over, you will die!"
Several officers laughed loudly, and the laughter was full of mockery. Duan Yao was furious and shouted: "What are you laughing at?" The officers laughed even harder, as if they thought Duan Yao was an idiot.
Duan Yao was so angry that he even wanted to explode, but when he thought of the situation at this time, his anger disappeared in an instant.
An officer said jokingly: "You will see your people later." Then he said to an officer next to him: "Take them down and imprison them until Lord Yelu handles them!" The officer promised and
He waved his hand to summon the sergeants and took Duan Yao and all the 'rebels' under him into custody.
Duan Yao was locked in a small room alone, restless, and kept longing for the Sun family, Zhao family, and Xiao Feng's soldiers and horses came to kill all Yan Yun's troops and rescue him. Time passed quickly at this time.
, Duan Yao only felt doubly tortured. Finally, there was the sound of clumsy footsteps outside. Duan Yao's heart moved, and he hurried to the window and looked outside. He was shocked to see dozens of people walking into this place under the escort of the city defense army.
In this courtyard, there were actually prominent figures from the Sun family, Zhao family and other families. Duan Yao was horrified to the extreme. He could no longer understand the situation in front of him. He had always longed to save his Sun family, Zhao family and others.
The 'Rebel Army' is just like the Duan family, it's all over!
What happened after all? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
