Chapter 27 Chaos in Beijing

It was not until dawn that Zhao Zhe woke up from a series of nightmares. In the dream, he was chased and killed by countless monsters and people who could not see his appearance and made him wet clothes. After he woke up for a while, he was in a trance. It was not until he found that he was in the bedroom, and the loyal Huang Yue had been serving the marquis all the time, which made his heart a little calm.

"Your Majesty is awake!" The person beside him was taking care of the emperor. Now when he woke up, he quickly said. Then, a doctor came over and took the pulse for the emperor before saying, "Your Majesty has only been working hard for days to have such a fainting disease. As long as your majesty is clear and thinks less, the dragon body can recover.

In fact, even the imperial doctor himself doesn't believe this, because he already knows what a bad moment the situation in the capital has come. Presumably, the emperor's situation will only be worse after learning the news. However, as a imperial doctor, he still had to speak like this, and then he retreated and left this place to Huang Yue, the emperor's closest affinity.

When the emperor asked the imperial doctor to take his pulse, he had already seen Huang Yue's worried face, and then asked, "Huang Yue, how's it going?" He could see that it was not early today, and obviously he had been sleeping for a long time.

"Your Majesty..." Huang Yue didn't want to say anything, and he didn't want to see the emperor's situation worse.

"Ty!" But the emperor did not appreciate this and immediately said in a harsher voice, and his eyes were not so gentle.

"Yes!" After swallowing his saliva, Huang Yue said, "Now the situation in Beijing is very chaotic. Since this morning, I don't know who has spread the news of the destruction of food, which has led many people appearing on the streets in panic. They also forcibly entered some grain shops and robbed all the remaining grain.

The emperor's face turned white. He thought that the situation would not be optimistic, but he didn't expect it to turn into this: "In this way, the current situation is almost the same as the experience of those rebellious ministers half a year ago." This reminded him of the big play directed by himself. Unexpectedly, the retribution came so quickly that it returned to him in a blink of an eye.

"It's almost..." Huang Yue hesitated and said, "Obviously, the people have been very troubled by the food shortage because of the previous situation, so as soon as the news came out today, they immediately moved."

The emperor clenched his fist and then said, "Didn't I give a strict order yesterday not to allow those informed officials to leak this information? How did those people get the information?

"This old slave can't figure it out." Although there was already speculation in his heart, Huang Yue still didn't say anything, because he could see that the emperor's situation was very bad, and maybe this would make him more serious. Then, he guessed, "It must be some people with ulterior motives to seek benefits from this matter."

The emperor was silent for a moment and sighed deeply: "It seems that I still can't make all the ministers submit, otherwise how could such a situation happen? But what I don't understand is that there are two guards in my Daliang City, the patrol camp and the Beijing camp. How can those people make such a noise?

Huang Yue felt bitter, and what he feared most was that the emperor asked this question. But now that he has asked, he can only answer truthfully: "Beijing camp does not dare to go too much to those people who only hold farm tools and sticks, and they do not have the upper hand in terms of numbers. As for the patrol camp..." After a pause, he observed the emperor's expression and found that he was still calm, he continued: "Most of these people are from the capital, and this food shortage is also related to their families, so most of them have also joined the camp of the people in chaos!"

"What!" The emperor's face turned a little white in a blink of an eye: "The patrol camp I used to maintain the stability of the capital actually... actually mixed up with those chaotic people?"

Huang Yue was silent. He knew that this would inevitably stimulate the emperor, but the truth was the truth, and he did not dare to lie to the emperor. The emperor gasped for a long time before muttering, "Is it possible that the foundation inherited from my ancestors in the Song Dynasty will be lost in my hands?" Speaking of this, it was obviously emotional that made it difficult for him to breathe, so he coughed loudly.

This scared Huang Yue and other servants around him. They immediately came forward and helped the emperor sit up and patted his back to cheer him up. Half a day later, the emperor's cough stopped, but his face was even worse, and he was frustrated.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, you must deal with the current situation calmly. Now I can't live without you!" Huang Yue said to the emperor almost in a pleading voice.

Although the emperor stopped coughing, his breath was still very short and speechless for a moment. After a long time, the situation was a little better. He said in a hoarse voice, "Don't worry, I won't die!" It took me so many years to regain the throne, and I will never close my eyes when it has not been consolidated. No matter how many difficulties I encounter, I can overcome the past. I want to show those thieves with different intentions that I am not so easy to deal with!"

When Huang Yue saw that the emperor said this, there was an abnormal flush on his face, so he was even more worried and wanted to persuade him to lie down and rest first. But the emperor's words were not over. He stared at Huang Yue: "Now the situation is so serious that it is impossible for me to solve all the problems alone. You ask someone to summon Lv Xiang and other three princes and nine ministers into the palace. I want to discuss with them how to deal with this current problem!"

"...Yes, the old slave will ask someone to announce that several adults will come to the palace later." Although he didn't want the emperor to work harder, he finally acted according to the emperor's will.

"In addition, the person who spreads this news must also find out, and you can't let him go free. You can also give Xu Jinghong a decree. As long as their national security department can find out this matter, I can deal with the food matter generously this time!" The emperor then made another decree.

"Your Majesty..." Huang Yue opened his mouth to persuade, but then nodded: "The old slave is going to do it. Your Majesty, you'd better sleep for a while and refresh yourself."

After ordering two important things, the emperor's mind finally couldn't stand it any longer. He lay down and fell asleep again. When Huang Yue walked out of the bedroom, his expression was very complicated. He had great doubts about Xu Jinghong, but he knew that the emperor had great trust in this person. If he said it rashly, he was afraid it would hit the emperor's mood and affect his body. So in the end, he resisted not saying his guess.

And even if he had doubts, Huang Yue still acted completely according to the emperor's will, not only to Lv Zhonghe and other important ministers of the dynasty, but also Xu Jinghong. This is exactly why Huang Yue can be so trusted by Zhao Zhe. He has never disobeyed the emperor's will because of his attitude and dares not overdo it at all: "I hope I'm wrong. Xu Jinghong won't do such a rebellious thing!"

In fact, the situation in the capital is more serious than what Huang Yue said. Many people rushed to the streets and clashed with people in the Beijing camp who wanted to suppress them. But the people in the Beijing camp did not dare to really kill the people who were either bare-handed or only holding farm tools and sticks, because this would cause greater turmoil. Therefore, the current situation is that tens of thousands of people in Beijing can't stop these emerging people, thus making all roads in the capital chaotic and traffic completely paralyzed.

At the same time, some people with poor character in the past also seized this reason and began to take people to attack shops and private houses. First, the grain shop was broken by them, but there was only a little grain, which naturally could not satisfy them. Then under the leadership of these people, they began to attack other shops.

Fortunately, because the situation in the capital has been a little tense during this period of time, some people who understand have hidden valuable goods elsewhere, so that the losses of these stores are not too great. But the pavement of these shops was completely finished and smashed by these irritable people.

Then, these reprioters targeted 100 people's houses, especially the richer people in Beijing. Many people with a certain amount of money suffered. Not only did they rob all their money and goods, but they were also injured, and some were even killed alive or trampled by crowding.

This day, for the whole Daliang City, there is only one word to describe, that is chaos. And only a few government offices and official residences can keep calm in such chaos. Obviously, these people also knew what would happen to attack the government and officials, so they did not touch the red line.

But this is enough to embarrass the court, especially those who want to suppress this chaos. The palace people who must come out of the palace to send the imperial edict everywhere, experienced a lot of fighting before they were killed from a team of rioters, and then sent the imperial edict to a government office and mansion, and handed over to several adults. In the hands of things.

In fact, these adults have known the situation outside for a long time. After all, they are not like the emperor in a completely isolated palace, and even hear the voices of the people outside in their respective houses. Now the emperor asked them to enter the palace to discuss, which made many people difficult. They really don't have the courage to break through such a mess, but it is difficult to disobey the holy will. They have to take more guards and then take the most ordinary carriage to the palace.

At the same time, in the Guoan Division, the situation is different from other places. As Huang Yue guessed, this incident was all planned by Xu Jinghong. Originally, he still planned not to take action in person. After all, this kind of spreading of information is easy to be traced out, and such a big thing as the food being burned can't be covered up after all. He can wait for two days, and then the situation will become like this.

But what happened last night finally made Xu Jinghong make this risky decision. Because Huang Yue's sudden appearance made him realize that the other party obviously knew something. And whether the other party knows that he has a disrespect or doubts about food, it is extremely dangerous for Xu Jinghong.

Of course, it is also possible that the other party came to find their undercover Tian Dahu, but Xu Jinghong obviously did not dare to take this risk. Because once you make a mistake in your own judgment, it will be a mortal situation. In that case, let's just fight. So just last night, Xu Jinghong sent his cronies to spread the news.

And at dawn today, the whole city knew this amazing news. The people, who were already frightened, naturally panicked, and then some people instigated and reminded them, and the people went to the streets in a muddle, and finally turned into today's storm (river crab) chaos.

Because this was originally planned by Xu Jinghong, they would naturally not panic about the chaos outside. The only worry is how the court will deal with the current situation, so at this time, everyone is discussing this matter by Xu Jinghong's side.

"The team is positive. I'm afraid that the current situation may not be achieved even if the imperial court exerts all its full pressure. After all, the people's momentum has risen." Xiong Geng said excitedly, "How did those families end at the beginning? Isn't it because of this? Now with Zhao Zhe, the situation should not be much different, right?

"Yes, at this point, the court should be helpless. Although they still control the army, they absolutely dare not be cruel to the people. Because of this, things will really be completely irreversible, and the people will become mobully, and it will be them who will eventually be hit. The old dog also nodded.

Sun Zaiyuan also nodded: "The only thing to worry about is whether the court has doubted the lord. Once they find that the matter is irreparable and want to vent and send troops against our national security department, I'm afraid that the lord will be a little passive. Because Xu Jinghong had made up his mind to make a big deal, he did not let Sun Zaiyuan hide and let him escape from King Jing's mansion last night and stay with himself. After all, with him, there is one more wise man in his own side.

"Yes, I'm also worried about this layer. I am still a court official now. If the emperor orders me to enter the palace and then ambushed me there and arrested me, how should I deal with it? Xu Jinghong also said uneasily.

"Actually, the court can't control the situation at this time. Why should we take him seriously?" Xiong Geng said disapprovingly, "Can they send more people to attack our country's Ansi?" Even if they can really send some people here, I'm afraid it won't pose much threat to us.

"That's not what I said." Sun Zaiyuan shook his head: "After all, the lord is still a minister. If he is opposed to the court at this time, what will the world think of him? He can't stand in front of the world in the future. Some things, at least can't be done in front of everyone, will only lose people's hearts.

"Ah?" Xiong Geng touched his head and laughed, "I'm a rough person. You don't understand this as much as Mr. Sun. So in your opinion, how should we prepare?

"First, if the court really announces that the lord enters the palace, the lord can never go, which is the fundamental point. Second, if the court does not take action in this regard, we will continue to move. We will not embarrass the court or help them suppress the people, but should win over more people, such as those who patrol the city camp.

Xu Jinghong nodded: "This is indeed the safest way, but it's obviously not enough."

"Yes, so that we can only get some benefits from it, and we can't get more benefits." Sun Zaiyuan pondered for a moment and said, "So the next point is the key is to find foreign aid."

"Foreign aid? What else can we help?" The old dog is a little confused.

"Army in Southwest and Northern Xinjiang!" Sun Zaiyuan's answer stunned everyone. You should know that these people are the most elite troops in the court and have always been loyal to the emperor. Now it's really strange that he wants to pull these people into foreign aid.

Sun Zaiyuan saw everyone's puzzlement and quickly gave his reason: "In fact, no one has found a fact that whether it was when the family was in power or after today's emperor regained power, these two armies were just used chess pieces. They have no use except to guard the border and fight against foreign enemies. If the court wants to use them, it will give some benefits, otherwise they will not pay attention to them. And there are all kinds of unhappiness that have happened in those years. I think those border soldiers have long been dissatisfied with the court.

"Now, they are just waiting for an opportunity, an excuse to persuade themselves to gamble. As long as the lord, the person who has fought a life-and-death battle with foreign enemies with them and has won a series of victories, their hearts will be moved!"

Xu Jinghong was silent for a moment, and then continued, "And I also have an identity that can make them listen to me - I am the god of the Song army at the beginning, the descendant of Feng Liekong who was killed! Although the personnel are not there, all kinds of deeds about him must have been widely recited in the army. Only this one point will definitely make them move.

"Yes, this is also a favorable condition!" Sun Zaiyuan also nodded quickly.

Just as everyone felt that the victory was in hand, and soon after the dynasty was changed, a soldier guarding outside reported loudly: "Six adults, there are father-in-law in the palace to read the order."

After hearing this, everyone was stunned. The originally lively scene was quiet, and everyone looked at Xu Jinghong. They don't know what the person who came here is to convey his will. Is it to let Xu Jinghong enter the palace, or something else? This will be the key to deciding their next action!
