The ancestor of the apocalypse is so cool after being reborn!

Chapter 172

Yuan Rongcheng pursed his lips and nodded: "This fast horse rushed in from the north city gate. If I guessed correctly, it should be the rebels or barbarians in the north who made another move."

"The rebels and Beidi are attacking south again?" Li Yuzhu's heart skipped a beat after hearing his words.

The scene of fleeing to the south is still vivid in my mind, how long has it been stable, and war broke out in the north again?

"The specific situation is not clear." Yuan Rongcheng stared at the street where the messenger had disappeared, "Come on, let's go to the palace to find out the specific information."

The group hurried back to the palace.

The servants in the palace are all performing their duties, working in an orderly manner, not like receiving an emergency military situation.

Seeing this situation, for some reason, Yuan Rongcheng was extremely flustered and anxious at the same time.

Needless to say, today's fast horse riding must have brought some bad news.

Li Yuzhu summoned a servant who was sweeping the floor by the side of the road, and asked, "Is grandfather at home?"

This servant was recruited to be in charge of the sanitation of this area, and no one who passed by this place back home could escape his sight.

Hearing Li Yuzhu's words, he shook his head and said, "My lord went out in the morning and hasn't come back yet."

Li Yuzhu breathed out, she waved her hand to let the servants leave, then she turned around and said, "No wonder the house is so orderly, the servants are not in a panic, it turns out that grandfather is not in the house, shall we go to the yamen?"

Yuan Rongcheng said solemnly, "Let's go to the yamen!"

A group of people hurried to the Yamen again.

When asking for an audience outside the Yamen's study, King Qian didn't make it difficult for them, and let them in directly.

The servant girls and guards stayed outside, while Yuan Rongcheng and Li Yuzhu were invited in.

King Qian's face was very ugly, gloomy, staring at Yuan Rongcheng who came in from the outside, without saying a word.

Mr. Zhang, who was sitting next to him, asked, "How did Mr. Yuan San find the Yamen?"

Under the pressure, Yuan Rongcheng had to meet Li first before replying: "I saw a fast horse coming to the Yamen on the street today, so we followed it to have a look, but there is bad news from the north?"

Mr. Zhang looked up at King Qian with a gloomy face, and sighed, "According to the news brought by the messenger, Beidi raided Yuzhou after the autumn harvest, plundered money, food and people, and returned to Gyeonggi."

"Isn't this something that was expected?" Yuan Rongcheng looked at Mr. Zhang.

Beidi is a nomadic people, and they are not good at farming. Now that the autumn harvest is coming, it is expected that they will come to snatch it.

It's just that the officers and soldiers of the imperial court are all rotten to the bone. Even if there are enough soldiers, they are not Beidi's opponents.

With a sullen face, King Qian said with hatred: "Beidi returned to the Gyeonggi area, but Yuzhou, which was looted by them, has become a purgatory on earth. It has experienced three years of disasters. This year, it was hard to harvest a little grain this year, and it was taken by Beidi again." Snatch it clean, tell me, how will the people of Yuzhou live this winter?"

As he spoke, his voice changed, "However, when the Beidi people faded away and the people of Yuzhou were living in dire straits, civil uprisings arose again, and now the whole Yuzhou has been devastated and bandits are everywhere.

The rebels who had been occupying Qingzhou and Yanzhou also took the opportunity to attack Yuzhou. Instead of resisting, the rogues opened the door to welcome the rebels into the city, making it easy for the rebels to occupy the southeast of Yuzhou. "

When Li Yuzhu heard this, seeing King Qian stopped, she turned her head and said to Yuan Rongcheng: "The rebels only occupy the southeast area near Yanzhou. I think your father, Lord Yuan, will send troops to garrison the border area to prevent rebellion. Will the army make another surprise attack?"

Yuan Rongcheng smiled wryly after hearing her words: "The rebels did not occupy the southwestern area of ​​Yuzhou because they were afraid that if they occupied all of Yuzhou, they would become a roadblock for Beidi to go south to rob! The southwestern area of ​​Yuzhou is the southward passage they left for Beidi people. It can also be said to be the road to domination and kingship.”

Because if Beidi wants to go south to plunder, passing this road will be one step closer to becoming king and hegemony.

Li Yuzhu's face turned pale with fright, "Then according to what you said, Jingzhou is very dangerous!"

Mr. Zhang said with a heavy heart: "We are in danger, and we must always beware of Beidi soldiers and rebels' surprise attacks!"

Li Yuzhu was stunned, then she will marry in the future, how will she live this life?
That's what happened, King Qian found out that his granddaughter Li Yuzhu's face was not right, so he quickly asked Yuan Rongcheng to send her back.

"If you are not in good health, you should rest more at home. These things are not something you girls should worry about!"

In the evening, Xia Jing got the news, and the next day, she sent an order to Nghe An's army that the grain purchased in Nghe An could be transported here by sea ship.

Hongmei asked worriedly: "Princess, have you brought all the food here, do you think there is going to be a war?"

Xia Jing waved her hand, "No, I'm called being prepared!"

Lingnan received the news from the front line, and Jiankang received the news a few days earlier than Lingnan.

When the news reached Jiankang, the whole city was in an uproar!

In the court hall, all the ministers couldn't believe it!

Beidi people are so eager to attack Yuzhou to grab food and grass, will they grab Jiankang?

Some people feel that this scene is very similar to being forced to flee the capital!

"In this regard, who do you think is suitable to lead the army to counter the rebellion?"

Hubu Shangshu took a step forward: "Your Majesty, Zhu Chong, the commander-in-chief of the Gyeonggi Battalion, is a very good leader and commander, but"

The new emperor stood up excitedly, "But what? Hurry up and send troops to the front line. Be sure to stop the enemy in Yanzhou, Qingzhou and other places, and don't let them cross to Yangzhou!"

Hubu Shang wrote with embarrassment, "However, except for some troops in the Gyeonggi Battalion, the other local guards are almost abolished. There are no troops, no food, no weapons. What will Zhu Chong use to fight Beidi and the rebels?"

The new emperor was furious: "Damn it! I save money and want to save more military pay. I can't wait to spend every penny in half. The military pay that the imperial court spends every year is a huge expense, but so much money is used to raise rats. Really used in the army is very little!

You people usually keep saying that you are thinking about Dayu and the common people, but what you usually do is fighting for power and profit, fighting against dissidents, how many of you really share my worries? "

The emperor got angry, and the courtiers standing below were so frightened that they knelt down.

Youjin Pushe retorted loudly: "Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to share your worries. It's hard for a smart woman to cook without rice! It's just that local officials don't pay attention to the imperial court, and government orders can't go out of the city. The imperial court can't mobilize them at all!"

The imperial court is weak, how can the subjects of the world be convinced!
Ouch!The courtiers have a headache!
The new emperor snorted coldly: "Since you know the crux of the problem, why don't you draw up a charter to see if you can get rid of these cancers?"

The courtiers below heard this, and everyone gasped at the same time. No one in the court was innocent, and the people in the officialdom were more or less connected. If they were asked to remove these cancerous tumors, no one dared to stand out!

Afraid of retaliation afterwards, you must know that the Dayu Dynasty has been passed down for more than 300 years, and the power of the aristocratic and powerful families is deeply rooted, which is not something that courtiers like them dawdling in their lives should care about.
