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

However, how could he get what they wanted by letting the courtiers lead him by the nose?

"The army needs food and grass to fight, and the people need food and grass to settle down. The queen is a woman in the harem, and you just let her go to the battlefield to fight. Now you still expect her to be able to fight against the enemy and raise food and grass?
Look at what you can do. You have two pieces of skin on your mouth. The queen will help you solve everything you think about as soon as you touch it. So what is the use of the imperial court raising trash like you? "

The more Li Jingfu spoke, the angrier he became, "Since you were born, you only know how to eat, sleep, and play, but you don't know how to do anything else? You rely on my queen for everything, where do you get the face from?"

The courtiers were not angry when the emperor scolded them, they just wanted to watch the emperor jump in anger at them.

The Minister of Hubu stood up at this time and said, "Your Majesty, you can't say that. We are far away in Jiankang. Although we want to help the front line solve the difficulties, we are unable to do so! The treasury is now empty. What do you want me to do to support the front line?"

Li Jingfu laughed angrily at his rogue behavior, "I never knew that ministers who read the books of sages and sages can act rogue!"

"Didn't the saint teach you to serve the country with loyalty, to sacrifice for the country, to dedicate yourself to the people, and to die? But how did you do it?"

"Beidi's troops have not yet reached the city, but you have encouraged the late Emperor Yuan Hui to abandon the city and flee. Abandoning the capital of Longxing for hundreds of years, you moved the capital to Jiankang and lived in a corner."

"Do you think that if you move the capital to Jiankang, you will be safe and you can enjoy your glory and wealth?"

"But who would have thought that things would not go as planned. Even if the imperial court came to Jiankang, they would still be besieged by the rebels in the city. In this case, you may as well show the courage you had when you moved the capital, and work with the officers and soldiers to resist the enemy and protect the city of Jiankang. People! But what did you do in the end?"

"They refused to contribute when they were under siege. When the city was broken, they were all doing their own thing. They only cared about themselves and were selfish. How could they have any sense of being a subject and serving the people as a parent and an official?"

"However, this is not your lower limit. Faced with the intimidation and inducement of the rebels, you chose to retreat and compromise, and submitted money, grain, grass and other materials to the rebels to save your lives!
You are bowing to the evil forces. Where is the integrity and pride of you scholars at this time?Did you break it and feed it to the dog? "

Facing Li Jingfu's bombardment, the ministers standing below were speechless. When facing evil forces, if they don't bow their heads, will they refuse to obey even to the death?
The consequence of refusing to obey is to die. They have studied hard for decades and have not enjoyed a few years of happiness. Who is willing to die!

We can’t blame them, it’s entirely human survival instinct!

Li Jingfu glanced at the faces of the officials below and scolded them: "Things aside, what's more, they appear to be just and upright, but in fact they are corrupt and bring harm to one party. These officials are even more despicable!"

The ministers below heard this without any trace of guilt on their faces. In their view, the imperial court has been suffering from illness for a long time. In the last years of the dynasty, the atmosphere is such that if you do not participate, you will be excluded by everyone and will not integrate into the official circle. You How to survive in officialdom?
Li Jingfu was even more angry when he saw that the ministers were not ashamed, "What do you think of Qingzhou? The food shortage in Qingzhou is irreversible. Since the ministers have no good strategy, all the disciples of the saint who are loyal to the emperor and patriotic will start donating money and materials together from tomorrow. Raise food and grass for the frontline soldiers and the people of Qingzhou!"

The ministers: "."

This life is really unbearable. Why is it so difficult to get along in the court of Yu Dynasty?

They were imprisoned just a few days ago, and the family paid a large amount of back taxes in order to redeem them.

It has only been a few days now, and they are asked to donate money and materials. Are they preparing to catch a pig with wool?

This group of courtiers are the sheep raised by the emperor, and they are born specifically to shear sheep.

When Long Yutian led the army to pursue Cangzhou, he saw thick black smoke rising over Cangzhou City from a distance.

The soldiers all came from poor times. They watched a beautiful city being burned down by fire, and they were heartbroken and bleeding. How much money was burned by this fire?
孽 孽!
Sha Yuliang stared at the thick smoke in the distance and said bitterly: "These traitors deserve to die! They have burned many granaries along the way. They even didn't let go of Cangzhou City. They will definitely arrest the leader of the thieves when they are caught." Return to the capital and be killed by a thousand swords in front of all the people in the capital!"

Long Yutian looked at the thick smoke in the distance, frowned, and ordered: "Everyone is here, move forward quickly, and rush to Cangzhou City to put out the fire and rescue!"

Military orders were passed down by messengers on horseback, and the team sped up.

When the army arrived at Cangzhou City, the city gates were wide open, and the thick smoke inside had reduced a lot, indicating that the fire had burned out, and all that was left were small fires in the corners.

The army sent several captains to lead the troops into the city.

Stepping into this city that was burned to ashes, as far as the eye could see, the houses were burned down and the streets were littered with corpses. Judging from the tragic situation, it could be seen that the people were running around in panic before they died, but in the end they did not escape the demon.

"Sha Yuliang!"

"Here!" Sha Yuliang ran to Long Yutian and greeted him.

Long Yutian ordered with a serious face: "You lead your soldiers to put out the fire! Sima Yi, Ding Dazhuang, Zhu Wei!"

Sima Yi, Ding Dazhuang, and Zhu Wei responded loudly and trotted to the front of the team.

Long Yutian ordered: "The three of you will lead the soldiers under your command to clean up the corpses, gather them together, burn them and bury them! If the wounded are found, they must be treated in time!"

He concealed his heavy heart. Although he knew that the people had little hope of surviving such a massacre, he still issued this order.

But in the end, he was disappointed and no one in the city survived.

After clearing Cangzhou City, the team continued to move eastward and first arrived at Li Dingguo's headquarters in Kenli. There were many rebels standing or sitting on the beach.

When these rebels saw them coming with flintlock guns, they hurriedly raised their hands, fearing that if they raised them too late, the guns in the hands of the imperial soldiers would fire.

"General Li, it seems that the leader of the thief has escaped with his cronies." Niu Debao pointed at the small black dot left on the sea.

Li Dingguo glanced at the surrendering crowd, then looked at the ship with only small black dots on the sea. He was so angry that he shook the sword in his hand and cursed: "Damn it, he is a cat, he can't be killed! "

Let him escape again!

When Long Yutian arrived with his troops, he heard that the leader of the thieves had escaped, and immediately asked people to register the prisoners, and by the way, he screened to see if there were any important rebel generals hiding in the crowd.

Li Dingguo walked up to him and said guiltily: "Warlord, I'm sorry. When I led the army to arrive, the leader of the thieves had already gone to sea in a boat. He couldn't catch up without a boat. If I had known this, I would have asked him to bring him. The fleet has brought the ship here. Now that the thief has escaped, what should we do?"

"I knew it was hard to buy anything in the world. They should have escaped if they escaped. I can only report the truth to the empress and the emperor." Long Yutian finally sighed.

As he said that, he turned and looked at the prisoners in the open space. At least they had captured so many rebels, which was an explanation to the court.

Since then, the rebels who had been causing trouble in Dayu's territory for several years were finally put down.

A part of the army was left at the garrison posts along the coast, and the rest of the troops escorted the prisoners back to the capital.

Yes, that's right, back to the capital.

Whether it was the soldiers and horses sent by Jiankang Li Jingfu or the soldiers and horses sent by Xia Jing, except for those who stayed at the guard post, all returned to the capital.

This time Xiao Qi, the former governor of Jizhou who cooperated with the imperial troops to put down the rebellion, was also on his way back to Beijing.

The current governor of Jizhou has been replaced by Xia Jing's close associate. As for why the governor of Youzhou has not been replaced, it is because Youzhou has a special geographical location and is an important pass to the north and northeast of Dayu. Unless Feng Yanrong himself committed a monstrous crime. A big crime, otherwise Xia Jing would not easily touch Youzhou.But this does not mean that Youzhou cannot move, it just cannot act rashly.

As the leader of the army, Long Yutian's first victory in countering the rebellion was the key to this victory, and he defeated Ning Bo.Since then, the former bandit has become the uncle of the Yu Dynasty. If he makes meritorious service in the future, I believe his title will be further improved.

Although Feng Tu returned to the capital with Li Chengmu in the meantime, his contribution to the counter-insurgency process cannot be questioned. He was promoted from a staff general to the commander-in-chief of the Gyeonggi camp and was responsible for the security of the Gyeonggi area.

Sha Yuliang's contribution in quelling the rebellion this time was not small. He was promoted from the original right deputy general to the staff general, from the third rank. This was a position that he could not even imagine when he was stationed at the border.

Precisely because of his experience in border guarding, after receiving the reward this time, he had to rush to the Qingzhou Coastal Guard Station to take charge of the garrison affairs of several guard stations.

Sima Yi, Ding Dazhuang and Zhu Wei were all promoted from their original positions to become fourth-rank deputy generals or third-rank generals.

The rewards were drawn up and sent to Jiankang at high speed, so that Li Jingfu could formally issue an order to confer officers and titles on these generals.

The rewards for the other people who countered the rebellion were also recorded in their respective books, so they will not be mentioned for the time being.

As for the prisoners who were escorted back, Dayu was in full swing building roads and railways, and building residential settlement areas outside the city. These prisoners were transferred to these places to give full play to their due light and heat, and contribute to Dayu's construction.

The war horses captured this time were evenly distributed among Bingzhou, Jizhou and Qingzhou to strengthen the defense forces along the border of these states.

As for why Youzhou in the northeast corner did not allocate war horses, the main reason is that the last sneak attack on the grassland brought back many sheep, cattle and horses and stayed in Youzhou, so the war horses captured this time will not be allocated to them.

When the courtiers in the court heard that Qingzhou had been recovered and that the public security stations along the way had sent people to garrison them, they all recommended officials to Li Jingfu to serve in Qingzhou.

Li Jingfu asked them to give a discount if they had good recommendations.

The memorials Li Jingfu received the next day were basically for recommending officials.

He returned to the imperial study, pushed the pile of memorials aside, and complained to Anu: "The queen still had the foresight to know that these officials who were eating corpses would act like this, so she first wrote down some qualified officials. You go Check out what’s going on with these officials!”

With that said, he gave these lists to Anu.

Anu took the list and looked at it for a moment, then asked: "If I go to investigate these officials, Your Majesty, you will have no one to serve you. How about I leave this task to Eunuch Daiyi?"

"Dai Yi?"

If Anu didn't remind him, Li Jingfu would almost forget that there was such a great eunuch.

Speaking of which, Dai Yi, the great eunuch, was an old man who had served three generations of emperors. He was once the personal eunuch of Emperor Yuan Hui. When Emperor Ming Xi succeeded to the throne, he served for a period of time.

Later, Li Jingfu succeeded to the throne. Although he still kept him in the palace, he rarely called him to serve in the palace, and he gradually forgot about this person.

It is said that the eunuch who served the emperors of the three dynasties must have his own merits, so it would be appropriate to leave this matter to him.

Thinking of this, Li Jingfu nodded and said: "You can handle this matter. As long as he works hard, I have no objection to it."

"No, I will make arrangements now."

After hearing the explanation, Dai Yi felt relieved. The emperor finally remembered him. To be honest, he was not young anymore. He could leave the palace to take care of his old age. However, he had the power to live in his hands. I’m really not used to the life of ordinary people.

Especially when there are no eunuchs and maids who used to fawn over him, it seems that life is too dull and boring now that there is no one to follow him.

Eunuchs who have lived in the palace for decades are different in their work. Within three days, the emperor got the investigation results of the officials on the list.

"According to the evaluation of officials, these officials have good evaluations. If this is the case, then let's follow the decree above."

The emperor's decree was quickly sent back to the capital.

The generals who received the awards were very happy, especially the main generals. Being awarded the title of marquis was their ultimate dream as a military general and the highest honor that affirmed them.

What's more, those bandits and interrogators who were recruited to safety.

Therefore, all the soldiers in the Gyeonggi camp were full of gratitude to the emperor and empress.

There is a feeling of being valued by others, and even more so, I would like to die for my confidant.

At the celebration banquet, Xia Jing looked at the extremely excited Long Yutian and the crying Long Yutian. In fact, she was filled with emotions in her heart.

Rather than saying that she has made them successful, it is better to say that each other has made each other successful. Without them, brothers who have gone through life and death, she and Xiao Wu would not have been able to establish themselves in the court so quickly.

Why did Long Yutian cry in public regardless of his image? He was actually crying with joy.

Think of him as a gangster, if he hadn't met the talented Xia Jing, he might still be hiding in the ravines of Lingnan, trying to get by and spend the rest of his life.

Now, just because he dared to take that first step, he followed Xia Jing out of the mountains and became the emperor's uncle. How big of an opportunity could he have such a good result?
Xia Jing asked everyone to calm down, "Are you satisfied with this reward?"

"Empress." Long Yutian's excitement subsided a little now, and he noticed the surrounding situation.

"Okay, next, before it snows, all the pass guard posts must be well prepared to prepare for the Beidi people to raid along the Great Wall." Xia Jing raised her hand to signal him to stop talking.

Long Yutian nodded: "General, I have taken note of it. I will train seriously next, strive to straighten out the affairs here, and then rush to the border with my troops."

"The soldiers recruited by Jiankang must be trained for a period of time so that they at least understand discipline. Don't make some jokes again!" Xia Jing reminded.

Some of the new soldiers recruited by Jiankang were sacrificed during the counter-insurgency, and the rest were all experienced in life and death, and the bloody fighting of men was revealed.

As long as given time, I believe this will become an elite division again.

What Dayu lacked was elite divisions, divisions capable of fighting.

Speaking of the sacrificed soldiers, Xia Jing thought of another thing, which was the arrangements and subsidies for the disabled soldiers in the aftermath, as well as a series of subsidies and preferential policies for the sacrificed soldiers afterwards.
