: Nanxiang shocked report

After the Central Plains War, the world returned to temporary peace. All countries were accumulating strength and waiting for the next war, but there were exceptions, namely the Qin and Han Dynasties and the Chu State.

The Qin State occupied Longguan, making the Han State feel uncomfortable. In order to regain Longguan, the Han State increased its troops in the direction of Longguan one after another, but the Qin State was not willing to be outdone. This time, although it failed to conquer Guanzhong, the strategic important place of Longguan could not be given up, so it continued to increase its troops. Therefore, a small Longguan restrained most of the troops of the Qin and Han countries.

After the end of the Battle of the Central Plains, the Chu State mobilized its troops south to drive away the Wu army. The Chu army had strong combat power and went south to recover the areas of Chengde, Hefei, Jundao, Quanjiao and Fuling, which were occupied by the Wu army. The Wu army retreated all the way to Liyang and finally retreated back to Danyang County. The Wu State's raid on Jiujiang ended here.

However, the troubles of Chu State were far more than Jiujiang and Wu army. In the newly occupied Lu County and Taishan County, the unrest of the remnants of Lu State resisted the rule of Chu State one after another. In order to stabilize the territory of Lu, Chu State had to invest most of its troops into Lu County and Taishan County, and suppressed the remnants of Lu State by force, which finally calmed down the unrest.

Deng Sheng in Wancheng, Qianyang Palace was looking at a map of the world. This was drawn by members of Mingjing through a series of commercial activities, mixed into major caravans and heading to various places. Deng Sheng was looking for the next target.

At this time, the Secretary of State, Jiang Wan hurriedly walked in with a very ugly face. He saluted Deng Sheng and said, "King, the big thing is wrong. The people of Nanxiangcheng riots and attacked the county government. The Nanxiang County Magistrate could not suppress it. Please send troops to the court."

"What?" Deng Sheng was shocked and quickly snatched the book in Jiang Wan's hand. When he opened it, he saw that the content was

"I am the magistrate of Nanxiang County, Zhu Gaoqi reported to the court. On April 20, the ninth year of Qianyuan, nearly a thousand mobs in Nanxiang rushed into the county government, killing dozens of county soldiers and injuring nearly a hundred. I am unable to suppress them and beg the court to send troops."

"Bang!" Deng Sheng slapped the head of the desk and asked: "What is the Nanxiang County Magistrate for? A mob of nearly a thousand people attacked the county government. This is something that Deng had never seen in more than two hundred years of establishment. People came to call the Secretary of the Central Committee, the Secretary of the Shang Dynasty, and the Secretary of the Six Ministers to me, and also call the General Deng Ai of Yulin."

In less than a stick of incense, everyone was summoned by Deng Sheng and rushed over. It was no good. The eunuch who came to pass the message said that Deng Sheng was already furious.

"I, please pay homage to the king!" After everyone arrived, they saluted.

Deng Sheng was not in the mood to greet them, and threw the Nanxiang County Magistrate's report to them, and said angrily: "Look, look, you all, the Nanxiang City mob is in chaos, the county magistrate and the county soldiers are unable to suppress it, and the letters asking for help have come to me."

The Secretariat ordered Deng Yong to pick up the book slip and open it. His face suddenly became very ugly. After Deng Yong read it, he circulated it one by one.

After seeing everyone reading it, Deng Sheng said, "I always thought that my country is rich and strong, but it can also be said that the country is too peaceful and stable. I have also guessed that some people miss their homeland in new places like Yingchuan, Jiangxia, and Nanjun, which is inevitable. But I didn't expect that there would be riots in Nanyang, the core area of ​​my great Deng. Is this a joke that everyone in the world wants to see me?"

"Please calm down. Now that things have happened, I'd better send someone to suppress the unrest first, so as not to intensify." The Secretariat ordered Deng Yong to say.

Deng Sheng nodded, thinking that what Deng Yong said made sense. Since the matter had happened, it would be useless to pursue it. Let's suppress the unrest first.

"King, I dare not agree with this statement by Lord Zhongshu Ling!" Just when Deng Sheng planned to send troops to suppress him, the Minister of Justice Fan Zhongyan said.

"What do you think about Fan Qing?" Deng Sheng asked in confusion.

Fan Zhongyan bowed and said, "Go back to the king, Nanxiangcheng has always been an important town in Nanyang. Since the founding of the Great Deng Kingdom, there has been no war in Nanxiang. People live and work in peace and contentment, especially since the king ascended the throne, Daxing business has led to the benefits of countless people. Why did the people riots suddenly occur at this time? I think the court should not just send troops to suppress it, but should send people to Nanxiang to investigate the ins and outs of the matter so that the turmoil can be completely quelled."

Deng Sheng calmed down and thought seriously about Fan Zhongyan's words. His words woke up the dreamer. Yes, why did the people in Nanxiang suddenly riot? Since he ascended the throne, he asked himself that he had never done anything that harmed the country and the people. Moreover, through a series of policies, countless people have benefited. Logically, even if the people are not grateful to them, they will not cause trouble. It seems that there must be huge hidden information.

"What do you think?" Deng Sheng asked everyone, wanting to know their opinions.

"I think what Secretary Fan said is very true, so I will discuss it!" The disciple ordered Cui Hao to come out and discuss Fan Zhongyan's words first.

Next, everyone present agreed with Fan Zhongyan.

Since the consensus was true, Deng Sheng ordered: "Since that's the case, he ordered Fan Zhongyan, the Minister of Justice, to go to Nanxiang to investigate. He must check the whole story of the matter clearly. In addition, he ordered General Deng Ai, the Yulin general, to lead three thousand Yulin troops to go with him. If the mob continues to cause trouble, he will directly suppress it." Investigation is one thing, but if the mob is in chaos, it must be suppressed. To attack the county government, kill, and injured county soldiers, this is already a violation of national laws and must not be spared easily.

"I accept the order!" Fan Zhongyan and Deng Ai responded.

"Also, the Nanxiang County Magistrate must be unable to escape the relationship during this people's riot. He ordered people to escort him to Wancheng, and I would like to interrogate him personally." After Fan Zhongyan and Deng Ai took the order and left, Deng Sheng remembered the Nanxiang County Magistrate. He has always been forced to rebel by officials. This riot was so powerful that it was related to the Nanxiang County Magistrate. Maybe it was his usual actions that led to this riot? If it were him, Deng Sheng would like to tear him to pieces.

After everything was arranged, Deng Sheng asked everyone to leave, and he went to Kunning Palace.

In Kunning Palace, Queen Cai Yan was teaching Deng Hao to learn, which was strange. Cai Yan found that since Deng Sheng sent someone to take Deng Hao to teach him last time, Deng Hao seemed to have become enlightened overnight. After returning, no matter what he taught him, he learned it quickly. As a result, many people in the palace now say that Deng Hao is a prodigy, which made Cai Yan very happy.

Deng Sheng walked in from outside the door, and the maids saluted him one after another, but Deng Sheng ignored it in a bad mood.

Seeing Deng Sheng's worries, Cai Yan asked the maid to take Deng Hao out for fun. She walked behind Deng Sheng, pressed her two jade hands on Deng Sheng's head, gently pressed them, and asked, "What's wrong with the king? Why are you worried?"

Deng Sheng took a deep breath and said, "It's nothing, it's just that there are some troubles in the court that cannot be solved for the time being." Deng Sheng usually doesn't tell Cai Yan about the matter in the court. First, he doesn't want her to worry with him, and second, he is to avoid the harem's interference in politics.

Seeing that Deng Sheng didn't want to say it, Cai Yan stopped asking questions, but smiled slightly and said, "I don't understand the affairs in the court, but the king must pay attention to his health and not be overworked. There are all the great masters in the court."
