Chapter forty-seven grief
With a "bang", a paperweight hit the forehead of the unlucky eunuch, and then fell to the ground and broke into pieces. The eunuch turned his eyes and fell to the ground without saying a word. The other eunuchs quickly ran up and carried him out.
Chen Keqing, who was standing beside him, was sweating heavily and swallowed with difficulty. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it when he was at his mouth.
With another "bang", the book case was kicked over, and the scrolls, pens, inkstones on it were scattered on the ground, and the ink was splashed on Chen Keqing, and he did not dare to dodge at all.
In front of him, the emperor Chen Shubao walked back and forth like an angry tiger, irritating and restlessly. The monarch holding a murderous sword in his hand was just a matter of one sentence. Chen Keqing did not dare to do anything unnecessary at this time, so as not to anger Chen Shubao and lose his life.
The former Emperor Xiaoyao is now furious, waving his arms, his face turned pale, his eyes wide open, and he was panting.
"Rebel thief, rebel thief! I want to bring these rebel thiefs one by one..."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Shubao suddenly swayed and was about to fall to the ground. Chen Keqing and the eunuchs beside him rushed forward and at least supported him. Seeing Chen Shubao's eyes closed and his lips turned purple, the two were so scared that they were scattered.
"Imperial Doctor, please send me the Imperial Doctor!"
Before the imperial doctor arrived, Chen Shubao woke up slowly. At this time, the emperor's eyes were red, and he was obviously heartbroken. Seeing this, Chen Keqing complained: The emperor is crying in front of him now, which is a serious loss of composure, and he will have a knot in the future...
In order not to be hated by the officials in the future, Chen Keqing took the lead and cried loudly: "The official family takes care of the dragon body! If the official family has three strengths and two weaknesses, who will take care of the country and the country..."
Chen Keqing cried first, and Chen Shubao started crying. He had never been so sad before. Even when the late emperor passed away, he was not as sad as he was now. After all, there was a mixture of sadness and joy at that time, but now, his heart was just like a knife.
Just now, eunuchs came to report that the imperial guards who rushed to Waguan Temple fought with the rioters at Chanling Bridge. Because the number of traitors was large, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties and were blocked from the north of Chanling Bridge. The rioters then set fire to the bridge to isolate the traffic between the two sides.
The imperial guards could not get close to Waguan Temple, but that didn't matter anymore, because the imperial concubine's imperial guard had arrived at the south of Chanling Bridge, and the imperial guards who were rushing to help came one step late: the imperial guards were attacked, and the imperial guards were killed in battle, the palace maids were brutally humiliated, and the imperial concubine was also kidnapped by the rioters, and their lives and deaths were unknown.
When Chen Shubao heard the bad news, he was stunned on the spot. He didn't say a word, his eyes were dull, and then he became hysterical, and then his anger almost fainted.
Chen Shubao, who had cried for a while, looked full of sorrow. According to the eunuch, the imperial guards saw the imperial concubine being kidnapped by the soldiers with their own eyes. When he thought that his stunning beloved concubine would fall into the hands of those traitors, he would inevitably be ravaged day and night and could not help but burst into tears.
Why is this happening? Why is this happening?
Chen Shubao really couldn't understand why the king's army had now fought across Jiangbei and was recapturing Huainan prefectures and counties. Chen had already passed the most difficult time, and he had ordered the reissue of the rewards for the arrears, so why did the soldiers rebel?
Such an ungrateful person not only launched a rebellion and burned, killed, looted, but also dared to abduct his beloved concubine. This clan really killed him!
When he thought of Zhang Lihua's voice, appearance, and appearance, and when he thought of Zhang Lihua's current situation, Chen Shubao felt that his heart was bleeding. It was dusk at this time, and it had been half a day since the rebellion broke out in Nandaying. His imperial concubine might have been given to him by many people...
The angry arose in his heart again. Chen Shubao stood up suddenly and was about to dispatch troops, but he felt dizzy and almost fainted. Seeing this, Chen Keqing did not dare to be careless and helped Chen Shubao sit down.
He was able to learn from the emperor's grace. Once Chen Shubao had a good fortune, after the prince ascended the throne, his honorable ministers would probably be thrown out by the Empress Dowager to calm the public's anger.
Chen Shubao pampered Zhang Lihua, so after learning the bad news, he became anxious and fainted twice. Chen Keqing was afraid that another third time would lead to irreversible consequences, so he couldn't help but try his best to persuade him.
"No need to say anything, immediately send troops to the Nandaying and capture the group of traitors!"
"But the official family has not agreed to defend the north of Qinhuai River, summon Jingkou, and return to Caishi..."
Chen Keqing couldn't continue to say it halfway, because Chen Shubao was staring at him fiercely, staring at him maliciously like a man-eating beast. At that moment, Chen Keqing felt a chill on his back.
"Hurry up, send troops now!"
......
In front of Tai Chi Hall, civil and military officials gathered in the West Hall, discussing the rebellion that broke out in the Nandaying. Among these people are Shangshu Ling, General Jiang, who is close to the emperor, and Yuan Xian, the Shangshu Pushe, who is not favored by the emperor on weekdays.
Mr. Jiang, with white hair, was full of knowledge and often accompanied the emperor to banquets. He was criticized as a guest of interest with Kong Fan and others. As a Taiwanese assistant, he never advised the emperor to put national affairs first.
The Minister of Shangshu Pushe Yuan Xian was a righteous man. He was rejected by Chen Shubao for the sake of King Wuxing (deposed crown prince). However, the emperor also knew that Yuan Xian was devoted to serving the country, so he asked him to participate in the confidentiality.
Less than an hour ago, Chen Shubao summoned all the ministers to discuss how to quell the rebellion of Nandaying. Based on the news that he received, he made a decision, which was to stick to the waiting for assistance.
All signs show that the riots involved in the mutiny seem to have been in contact with each other, otherwise they would not have been such a large scale. I think there is a mastermind behind the scenes, but no evidence was found, so it is impossible to find out who it was.
The main force of the King's Army was fighting in Huainan, and Jiankang's garrison was relatively weak. The other party took this opportunity to instigate some soldiers in Jiankang City to rebel, which was just a gap. It is unknown whether the other party has a backup plan, so the court should be cautious in dealing with the rebellion.
The imperial guards guard Taicheng and cannot attack easily, so as not to be trapped in the plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain. The troops that quenched the rebellion must be transferred from Jingkou to quarry.
The city's official army only needs to defend the north bank of the Qinhuai River and do not attack easily, and can suppress the riots south of the Qinhuai River. When reinforcements arrive and attack inside and outside, the rebellion will inevitably disappear.
This strategy has been agreed by Chen Shubao. However, when the news of Concubine Zhang's murder came, the emperor was furious and then ordered another army to attack Nandaying. This move was very risky, but no one dared to object.
The emperor favored Concubine Zhang, and Concubine Zhang was harmed by the rebels. It was natural for the emperor to send troops to attack in grief. At this time, who dared to oppose sending troops would probably lose his life on the spot.
But this happens, everyone always feels something is wrong. However, Taicheng is under strict security, and even if some imperial guards are drawn to attack, it should be fine. Besides, there are other troops stationed in Health City and nearby areas, so it is fine to guard Taicheng.
What the ministers are worried about now is the emperor. If the emperor is so sad that he has a bad situation, it will be really bad.
Now Chen Guogang is in a trend of improvement, and the ministers pray that they should not cause trouble. The rebellion in Nandaying is a disease of scabies, and the safety of the emperor is a huge hidden danger that endangers the country.
The ministers were talking about it in the west hall of Tai Chi Hall, and the east hall of Tai Chi Hall was also quite lively. Like the crowded Xi Hall, there were also many people in the east hall, but the people in the hall were different from the Xi Hall, all of which were royal family kings and their sons.
King Chen Shuying of Yuzhang led the imperial guards to stand, pressing his sword in his hand, and inspecting the people in the hall intentionally or unintentionally. He was ordered by the emperor to gather the children of the royal family to wait in the east hall of Taiji Hall, and at the same time, he was responsible for monitoring the other party.
The late emperor passed away and left more than 40 sons. The eldest son (the crown prince) Chen Shubao ascended the throne and ascended the throne. The second son Chen Shuling died many years ago in Xiyang, Huangzhou. The fourth son Chen Shujian was also captured by the Zhou army not long after, so Chen Shuying, who ranked third, became the leader of the royal family.
Now, looking at more than forty younger brothers, their sons, and a few cousins and their sons, he couldn't help but wonder whether there were any masterminds or accomplices behind the rebellion among these people.
