"How dare you rebel!”The Apocalypse Emperor aimed at a sparrow on the tree and fired a shot, but he missed. The sparrow screamed and flew away. He was so angry that he threw his gun and said angrily.
"Immediately gather the civil and military officials to Taihe Palace for a court meeting!”
In the Imperial Palace, the civil and military officials who received the news rushed into Taihe Palace. Everyone looked very nervous. Xu Hongru's rebellion had long been a sign. Dongchang County Magistrate Xu Danian had also learned of this through spies and sent out bailiffs to arrest many of the leaders. Xu Hongru had no choice but to raise the flag and lead his followers to conquer several counties. He also established a dynasty in a village called Liangjialou and proclaimed himself Emperor Fu Lie. His name was Dacheng Xingsheng and his arrogance was very arrogant.
Yang Zhaoji, the commander of Lunan, sent the guards to suppress them, but they were all defeated. The Jinyiwei quickly reported to Wei Zhongxian, who suppressed the intelligence for two days until Yang Zhaoji's request for help rushed to the capital. He could not hide it anymore, so he reported it to the Tianqi Emperor.
"The unruly people are rebelling. I think that we should send people who are used to fighting to lead the troops to attack!”Yang Lian, the censor of the left capital, came forward to report.
"Who do you think we should send?”The Tianqi Emperor asked with an ashen expression.
"Why don't we transfer Wang Zaijin from the front line of Liaodong to Lu to quell the rebellion…" As soon as Yang Lian finished speaking, Wei Zhongxian sneered again and again."According to Wenru's (Yang Lian's name) brilliant idea, mobilize the elites of Liaodong so that the Jian Krupp can break into the city and advance directly to the capital area?”
" I, I didn't mean that…" Yang Lian waved his hand repeatedly. Seeing Eunuch Wei's rude words, Mu Sichang was instantly filled with anger." Now, there are tens of thousands of barbarians from the East Military Hall, all of whom are elites. Why don't we send the East Military Hall to quell the rebellion?"”
"The barbarians of the East Chamber are used to deal with those treacherous and evil people who are disloyal to the country. The rebels don't need the elites of the East Chamber!”Wei Zhongxian smiled coldly and said," Your Majesty, this old servant has a humble opinion. Xu Guangqi has been training troops in the Jingzhao Prefecture for half a year. I wonder if we can take this opportunity to send a new army to march straight in and wipe out the bandits. It's also a good opportunity to train the soldiers. What do you think, Your Majesty?"”
Xu Guangqi's face turned red, but he didn't dare to say anything.
"Lord Xu is training troops in the capital prefecture. I know a thing or two about this.”The Tianqi Emperor stood up with his hands behind his back and his brows furrowed." What do you think, dear ministers?”
The Donglin Party, the Chu Party, the Qi Party, and the eunuchs 'party were all silent.
Xu Guangqi had always been on good terms with the Western Missionaries and rarely got involved in the court's factional disputes, so the various sects would not take the risk to support him.
Wei Zhongxian smiled cunningly. He had long planned this. Xu Guangqi was training in the capital, but it had been half a year without any results. Coincidentally, this year was the year of the capital inspection (the Ming Dynasty inspected all officials once every three years and decided on promotion and dismissal according to their merits). Xu Guangqi just happened to return to the capital to report on his work. Unfortunately, he encountered Xu Hongru's rebellion again...
The new army that he had trained had less than three thousand men. They had no armor or weapons at all, and firearms were even rarer. They would probably starve to death before they could reach Dongchang, let alone go into battle to kill the enemy.
Seeing that the civil and military officials were silent, the Tianqi Emperor flew into a rage. He grabbed a porcelain bowl and smashed it on the ground." The imperial court has nurtured scholars for more than a hundred years. Today, they are all cowardly and cowardly. What use do we have for you?!"”
"Your Majesty, please calm down!" The civil and military officials were also shocked. They hurriedly knelt down and shouted in unison.
"Calm down, calm down. Xu Hong Ru is about to attack the capital. How can I calm down!”The Tianqi Emperor was furious. He kicked over the fruit platter on the red steps." Someone come, messenger king!”
"Sure enough, nothing good happens!" Zhu Youjian had to admire his intuition. His eyelids twitched.
It was too accurate!
"Your Majesty!" Not long after, Prince Xin Zhu Youjian hurried up Taihe Hall and knelt down to the Tianqi Emperor.
"Forget it, forget it. Imperial Brother, Lu Nan rebelled against Xu Hong Ru a few days ago, and now we need to mobilize troops to suppress him. What do you think?”
Zhu Youjian's gaze swept across the civil and military officials. When the Donglin faction saw him, they all turned their faces to the side, indicating that they did not want to be associated with him.
" This bunch of poor scholars…" Zhu Youjian looked down on these " gentlemen " and finally looked at Xu Guangqi.
Why is Mr. Xu here? Furthermore, her face was flushed red and she looked ashamed? Oh, right, Xu Guangqi was training in the capital city and mentioned it a few days ago.
Looking at this situation…
"This minister's younger brother is recommending that the Young Zhan Minister and Southern Henan Province's Imperial Censor Xu Guangqi lead the new army to suppress them!”
The Tianqi Emperor's expression softened slightly as he shook his head." Your brother doesn't know this. The new Jingzhao army is just established and lacks weapons and food…Hmm?”
He suddenly remembered the spear he used in the imperial garden. Wasn't it his brother's latest masterpiece?
"Your Majesty is wise. The firearms and ammunition that Lord Xu's new army needs, my brother's War Bureau can provide.”Zhu Youjian cleared his throat." This Prince can also follow the army and assist from the side.”
"Could it be that Your Highness Prince Xin wants to imitate Prince Ning and have an army?”Gu Dazhang immediately heard the meaning of this and stepped forward with a board in his hand, reprimanding loudly.
Zhu Youjian smiled coldly. This bunch of officials were like mad dogs, biting whoever they caught without distinguishing right from wrong.
"Since Lord Gu suspects that this king has second thoughts, why don't you be responsible for raising the weapons and military supplies for the new army?”Zhu Youjian asked.
"Your Highness, your words are absurd. It is my duty to supervise the princes, speak up for justice, and not allow crafty sycophants to cause trouble. As for raising military supplies, it is the responsibility of the Ministry of War and Lord Xu.”
Before he could finish speaking, Gu Dazhang's face had already been slapped twice. The crisp sound echoed throughout the entire hall!
