Chapter 248 Is there a rebellion?

"County magistrate, county magistrate, the matter is done. Those people are going to rush to the county government office."

At this time, the Qinghe County Magistrate was discussing with a few people below what should be done next, how to make this matter get out of hand, and how to escape unscathed.

If the people could see this scene, they could see that the man who was caught in the prison was here, discussing with the Qinghe County Magistrate and others.

"Wait a minute, you should know what to do when you go out." Qinghe County Magistrate said, don't let it affect him, he is a good magistrate, but the 'innocent' ones are all ordered by Xie Ji.

"I know." Naturally, I want to tell the people some unknown 'truths' outside.

Then affirm this warning from God.

The Qinghe County Magistrate has already reported this matter and said, I am a small county magistrate and cannot control this situation. Please send people to control it quickly. These people are so numerous that his county government office has been breached.

Then he and some officials from the county government hurriedly left the county government office to avoid being affected by the angry people.

"Mob rebellion." Xie Ji looked at the information handed over by the Qinghe County Magistrate. It looked like a mob rebellion.

I don’t know who is fanning the flames and adding fuel to the fire.

"Have you found out who did it?"

"Going back to the Prime Minister, I saw several corpses near the place where the stone was found. They must have been silenced."

"There is no need to check anymore. You go and find a huge stone, and then..."

Xie Ji muttered a few words to the secret guard. There was no need to investigate this matter anymore. Wait until tomorrow to see how many people jump out.

Xiao Yu also got the news.

"You go and gather the scholars in Qinghe County and do your best to expose this rumor."

"Shang Shu, this is a good time. If the rebellion in Qinghe, along with other counties, finally threatens Chang'an and forces the emperor to get rid of Xie Ji, wouldn't it be a success? Once the treacherous ministers are eliminated, the world will naturally be peaceful."

Get rid of Xie Ji, but the consequences of this are something the court cannot afford now. By then the vitality will be severely damaged. Even if Xie Ji is removed, the people's livelihood will also have withered.

This is what he doesn't want to see. To be honest, although Prime Minister Xie Ji is incompetent, he really didn't cause chaos in the world.

Isn't this his original ambition to cultivate one's character, manage one's family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world?

But this world of chaos is not what he wants to see.

"Xie Ji can be eliminated, but there is no need to sacrifice the lives of the people in Qinghe and the lives of all living creatures in the world." Xiao Yu asked them to try their best to save the rumor this time. He is also a selfish person.

He didn't care much about the life and death of those people, but the people's rebellion was a decline for the imperial court. When the time came to solve it, it would either be solved by force or Xie Ji was eradicated. But after Xie Ji was eradicated, those local officials who took the lead,

There will inevitably be a struggle for power, and when the time comes power will be transferred from the central government to the local governments.

As local power grows, the dynasty will inevitably decline.

What can he get from it?

It’s not like he can become the next Xie Ji. In that case, why let those people benefit?

On the morning of the second day, everyone stood in Xuantai Hall, waiting for the emperor's arrival.

Xie Ji came here early this morning, and saw that these people looked a little strange. They usually greeted him respectfully, but today, some people did look a little awkward.

Xie Ji knew in his heart that he would be dead if he saw the rebellion.

The emperor walked in at this time, and everyone greeted him respectfully, and then entered the formal discussion.

"Your Majesty, after the discovery of the stone 'The First Emperor died and the earth was divided', the Qin Dynasty died in the second generation. Once the solar and lunar eclipses occur, treacherous ministers will surely harm the country. After floods and famines, the dynasty will inevitably decline. A stone fell from the Qinghe River and I wrote this.'

If treacherous ministers are in power, the world will perish. This must be a warning from God. Please pay attention to it, Your Majesty."

At this time, one person brought it up first, and the emperor's expression became very bad, and he wanted to take down the person in front of him.

"Very good, any more?"

The emperor smiled and said, everyone didn't know what the emperor meant. Whether the emperor wanted to eradicate Xie Ji or continue to indulge him.

"This man's heart is to be punished. Your Majesty is a wise king, how could there be a warning from heaven? To slander your Majesty in this way, to maliciously create panic, incite people to rebel, and to persecute the Holy One, is the so-called crime of treason. I sincerely request your Majesty

, behead this man to extinguish the injustice in the world." Xiao Yu was angry at him. If the country in the prosperous age really rebelled, the consequences would be really unimaginable.

"The writing in this stone is not directed at Your Majesty, but because traitors are in power. As long as the traitors are eliminated, the rebellion will naturally be eliminated."

"According to what you said, the real person is a traitor? Can the rebellion be stopped by getting rid of the original person?" Xie Ji asked back.

This man is the Minister of Household Affairs. He is really brave and calculating. However, he finally found out that the person who was secretly causing trouble was the elegant and non-existent Wen Wenwen.

If the secret guard hadn't discovered that he was the one spreading the rumor behind his back, he would have been deceived by his appearance.

This was written in classical Chinese, so perhaps the instigator was Li Shu.

Xie Ji looked at him, but he didn't say a word, with a smile on his lips that never faded.

"Of course." The Minister of Hube said, his tone was not very good, but he was sure that as long as Xie Ji was eradicated, the rebellion would naturally cease.

"Your Majesty, the Qinghe County Magistrate reported all the affairs of Qinghe County. He said that the mob had destroyed the county government. If he hadn't been lucky, he would have been beaten to death by the mob. Please send heavy troops here.

Suppress those mobs. Those mobs shouted, "Eradicate the treacherous officials and restore the clean government." I reported the matter in detail, and the Prime Minister suppressed the matter. So, Prime Minister, what do you mean by this?

Your Majesty also understands."

The left minister of the household department continued to speak. He said these words so loudly that all the ministers in the court could hear them clearly. His tone was clear and logical.

Mob? Xie Ji chuckled in his heart for a while, you must have lured those mobs out.

If there was no one to take the lead, how could the people be like this and only demand that he be eradicated? If only he was eradicated, the world would be peaceful?

I think by then, the world will be even less peaceful.

"The Qinghe County Magistrate was able to avoid the attacks of those 'mobs'. I think it is very suspicious."

Xie Ji said to the emperor, if the Qinghe County Magistrate was really good, he should have picked up the stone as soon as he found it and controlled the people who knew about the stone. The less these people knew, the worse they would be.

Okay, this won't happen anymore.

What's more, because a stone can cause rebellion, these people are really free. They don't think about tomorrow's meal or how to make a fortune, but they are actually interested in stones.

If you think about this clearly, you can easily come to the conclusion that those people were instigated by someone with ulterior motives. Otherwise, how could they leave the land at home uncultivated and come specifically to attack him.

"Your Majesty, I thought that the general in heaven was warning me, so I must pay attention to it. Please punish the treacherous minister and restore peace to the world." However, what Xie Ji said would not stop the people in the court from attacking Xie Ji.

No matter how much you, Xie Ji, talk nonsense, you still have to get rid of what should be eliminated.

"The treacherous officials are in power, and if they are not eliminated, the safety of the world will inevitably be affected. If the treacherous officials are not eliminated, the rebellion will continue, and all the people will be plunged into water and fire."

At this time, the entire court had already stood up to one-tenth of Shitian's warning.

The remaining group of people are waiting and watching, but this time they can't just take sides.

Because if Xie Ji is not eliminated this time, then the person who was eliminated will be the person who said those words just now. This Xie Ji holds a grudge.

"Qinghe rebellion, there is also a trend of rebellion in several surrounding counties. Please make a decisive decision, eradicate the traitors as soon as possible, and solve the rebellion as soon as possible." At this time, the left minister of household affairs said again, making the situation even closer.

"I believe that solving the rebellion is the first priority. Rather than arguing like this in the court, I also ask your Majesty to send a general to suppress it and ask the surrounding counties to immediately send troops to deal with the mob in Qinghe County." Meng Tao rarely said

Express your opinions in the morning.

He was completely kept in the dark about this matter. When he looked at the left minister of household affairs, he actually didn't report such an important matter to him about the chaos in Qinghe.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to bring troops to solve the rebellion. Just eradicate the traitors."

A censor said that the censor is an official who specializes in making bad ideas and impeaching officials. Moreover, even if the impeachment is wrong, he does not have to bear any responsibility.

The emperor suddenly appointed more than ten or twenty censors, who were specially used to supervise all officials in the court.

These censors have a very free and comfortable official position. Not only do they have a relatively high status, they don't have to deal with anything. They are just here to scold people. They are so-called professional trolls.

But after a while, many people said that as long as the traitors were eradicated, the rebellion would be automatically solved.

The emperor suddenly asked Xie Ji: "Prime Minister, what do you think of this matter?"

The emperor just ordered people to write down all the officials who said they were warnings from heaven, so that they can be dealt with in one fell swoop.

Those officials didn't know that the emperor had recorded the names of these people specifically.

"The Qinghe rebellion is just a misunderstanding. As for the stone, it's all nonsense."

Xie Ji smiled and said to the emperor. After hearing these words, the officials below immediately looked at each other.

Nonsense? Isn’t it a rebellion?

Is there a rebellion?
