In the next few days, Bai Yutian simply stopped going to court and dealt with political affairs directly in the imperial study room, and passed down the decree. After Tailin's internal affairs were reorganized, the imperial commander personally went on an expedition and personally cheered for the old general Jing Zhao.
When this news came out, the officials were even more panicked. The emperor was preparing to go on a personal expedition. How could they continue to oppose it?
Even when Bai Yutian stayed in the Imperial Study Room, there was an endless stream of books that he started reading every day, almost filling up the Imperial Study Room.
"Your Majesty, the three prefectures in Jiangbei are in financial crisis, the food harvest is poor, and many places are being ravaged by robbers."
"In addition, Panzhou's army went out to mutiny. It was said that there was a problem with the army's food and salary. The prefect Bai Chong was unable to suppress it and asked the court for assistance." Yuncheng's face was solemn.
There is no doubt that all this was done by Gu Taizhong in order to force Bai Yutian to submit.
The severity this time is greater than the last time when hundreds of officials complained about illness. After all, Gu Taizhong just wanted to vent his anger before. Even if hundreds of officials complained about illness, it was just because the court had difficulty in dealing with the situation.
However, this time, it was related to Gu Taizhong's fundamental interests, and he began to use all his energy to completely confront Bai Yutian.
"You bastard, the enemy is ahead, and you are still engaging in internal fighting. If no one is available right now, I would have to kill all these people." Bai Yutian was angry, exuding powerful majesty.
Yuncheng, Qiao Che and others were all shocked.
Apart from these memorials, the civil and military officials had nothing else to do every day. They just cried outside and begged His Majesty to negotiate peace with Shanu under the banner of petitioning for the people.
These civil and military officials nominally asked for orders for the people, and their speeches were even more righteous. If Bai Yutian punished them forcefully, they would probably alienate the kings and ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty and alienate the people. This is a scene that Bai Yutian does not want to see.
As time goes by, anyone with a discerning eye can feel that the situation in Tailin is getting more and more serious, and it seems that a storm is about to break out in Tailin.
"Reporting to your majesty, rumors have been circulating in Tailin City recently, saying that your majesty is arbitrary and will ruin the great Zhou Dynasty." Yuncheng said helplessly, and at the same time, his heart was full of resentment.
Of course he knew in his heart that Bai Yutian was doing it for the great Zhou Dynasty and the common people, but not everyone could understand what Bai Yutian was thinking.
The people who spread these rumors are all the people at the bottom of Tailin City, including farmers, businessmen, and workers, and most of them are members of the Gu family.
After all, the Gu family has been hovering here for hundreds of years, and its roots have penetrated into all strata. Such rumors can quickly spread throughout Tailin City.
"Don't pay attention to the rumors. I am rescuing disasters and suppressing bandits. Justice is in the heart of the people." Bai Yutian waved his hand and said.
At this time, Bai Yutian looked at Chen Hong and Cao Shan, "I have a hunch that the palace may not be too peaceful recently. You two will prepare the imperial army and guards and strictly guard your posts."
Hearing what Bai Yutian said, Chen Hong and Cao Shan's expressions changed. Isn't even the palace safe?
Yun Cheng frowned, thoughtfully, "Your Majesty is worried that Gu Taizhong will mutiny."
Mutiny! This word instantly shocked everyone in the palace, and their faces immediately became serious.
The war is coming, and this news is not good news.
"There is a 90% chance that there will be a mutiny, but Gu Taizhong may not take action himself." Bai Yutian said calmly, with his hands behind his back.
He slowly took a few steps forward and then said: "I have not gone to court these days just to force them to initiate a mutiny. I hope they will not miss this good opportunity!"
Chen Hong and others looked at each other and realized that they could not understand Bai Yutian anymore. They felt that Bai Yutian was really inscrutable and had everything under control.
Just when several people were about to leave, they suddenly saw Eunuch Lin running over in a panic, with a look of anxiety on his face, "Your Majesty, it's not good. The ministers are clamoring outside the palace to see you. They say that things in the various states have become out of control.
It’s reached a point where your Majesty is requested to come forward to rectify it.”
"Drive them away!" Bai Yutian said impatiently. Bai Yutian didn't want to see these ministers from the Gu family camp now.
"Your Majesty, they said they won't leave until they see you." Eunuch Lin said cautiously, looking at Bai Yutian's face.
Bai Yutian sneered, "Chen Hong, Cao Shan, you two drove all these ministers out and said I was unwell and disappeared."
These people wanted to see him, but Bai Yutian didn't do what they wanted.
The two nodded and left the hall. After a while, a group of imperial guards and a group of royal guards arrived in front of the palace gate.
In front of them, a group of ministers were stopped by the Imperial Guards, and they were already making a big fuss.
"Master Chen, Master Cao, your majesty is acting arbitrarily. At this moment, various problems are coming one after another in the Great Zhou Dynasty. May I ask what does your majesty mean by staying behind closed doors?" An old minister cried with tears streaming down his face.
"You are impudent and dare to slander His Majesty." Cao Shan had a hot temper and wanted to kill the veteran minister immediately, but Chen Hong stopped him.
This group of people claim to be asking for help from the people and are nominally teachers of justice. What they are saying now is just so-called "loyal advice that offends the ears." They have no reason to kill these people at all.
Otherwise, the next day, Dazhou will be in chaos.
"Master Zhao, Your Majesty is not feeling well and it is not suitable to see people now. Please leave." Chen Hong said to these people.
"Haha, I wonder if it's because His Majesty is feeling unwell, or because the two adults said that His Majesty is feeling unwell?" someone mocked.
It also means physical discomfort, but the two meanings are very different. The former means that Bai Yutian is really sick, while the latter means that the two of them controlled Bai Yutian and held His Majesty hostage. They can be punished as treason and are punishable by death.
Of course, Chen Hong and Cao Shan did not dare to accept this big hat. Chen Hong snorted and said: "Please respect yourselves. Your Majesty is just unwell at the moment, so he does not see you. If you slander me and Mr. Cao,
, when Your Majesty recovers, the first thing to do is to punish you."
Chen Hong used Bai Yutian to suppress these people, which immediately silenced many people.
"What if I want to see His Majesty?" At this time, a loud voice came.
I saw a tall and thin man and a short and fat man coming on horseback. They looked very similar. Behind them, there were a large number of guards. They were Bai Yushi and Bai Yumao.
Bai Yushi and Bai Yumao are members of the royal family. Logically speaking, Chen Hong and Cao Shan have no right to stop them. However, they have the imperial mandate and cannot let anyone in. Therefore, they can only clasp their fists to the two of them and say: "I'm sorry to obey, Your Majesty.
I am not allowed to see anyone today, and I hope that the prince will not embarrass me."
"How outrageous. As a relative of the emperor, how can you and others stop me? Why don't you go in and report it quickly?" Bai Yushi and Bai Yumao looked at each other and said loudly.
At this moment, Bai Yutian was not present, but facing the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army and the chief guard, the two men had great confidence and shouted loudly.
