Gao Wu: Traveling through the heavens in dreams, a professional rebel!

Chapter 8: Twelve cities were captured in one day. The empress was shocked and furious, and all the ministers were terrified.

Afterwards, in the solemn court, the information collected by the spies was made public.

Of course, it was not Prime Minister Zhao Hui who revealed it, but one of his subordinates who obeyed his orders.

There are some rules that must be followed.

Even if everyone knows who the instigator is, they still need to pretend to be important in public.

After putting on the fig leaf, at least you can force an explanation.

As soon as the information came out, the entire hall seemed to be struck by a thunderbolt and the atmosphere suddenly heated up.

At this moment, the ministers were in an uproar, and the sound of discussion was as turbulent as boiling water.

Everyone's face was filled with shock, suspicion or sudden enlightenment.

The sudden change made the already turbulent situation in the court even more complicated.

Those who can sneak into the palace to attend the court meeting are basically smart people. In an instant, they can see the truth as clearly as seeing through fire.

The next moment, officials of different ranks came out one after another and made impassioned speeches with righteous words.

"Zhenyuan Hou Lin Yaozu has acted perversely, committed treason, disobeyed the emperor's orders, and attempted rebellion. He deserves death."

"Your Majesty, Lin Yaozu's rebellious intentions are obvious. I request that all nine generations of his clan be executed!"

"What the Imperial Censor said is very true. I second your opinion!"

"..."

Be they civil servants or military generals, the attitudes of the many officials in the hall were surprisingly consistent.

They all wanted to take this opportunity to put Lin Yaozu to death.

As for the reason, it is also very simple.

The former, due to the conflict between civil and military officials, did not want the reckless man to continue to get away with it, and was also influenced by Prime Minister Zhao Hui.

The latter is because most of the current military generals come from generations of noble families.

They didn't want Lin Yaozu, a peasant who had climbed up from a small soldier, to be able to sit on the throne of a general and ride on their necks.

How can you have the chance to move up if you don’t get rid of your boss and make room for him?
If we have to blame someone, we can only blame these generals for wanting to improve too much.

Seeing this, Prime Minister Zhao Hui's mouth curled up and a look of pride appeared on his face, as if victory was just around the corner.

Above, the empress had a blank expression on her face, but in her heart she secretly sentenced several of them to death.

Although she also wanted to get rid of Lin Yaozu, she did not like watching the court reach a consensus.

at the same time.

Lin Yaozu, who rode his horse into the court of the Great Jin Dynasty, is leading the mighty 500,000-strong Zhenyuan Army and returning like a raging wave.

The fighting spirit is like a rainbow and unstoppable.

"Boom boom boom~"

The sound of the horses' hooves was like the horn of death.

Two or three days later.

Just as the court had finished its decision, a new round of imperial edicts and imperial envoys were about to set out.

Lin Yaozu and the 500,000 Zhenyuan Army have crossed the grasslands and mountains, and plunged into the territory of the Dafeng Dynasty like a sharp blade piercing the heart.

Target——Beijing!
During this period, when they encountered a city on the road, various officials would either flee in fear or open the gates and surrender.

Even in prosperous places, the fighting force they possessed was no more than a few thousand yamen runners.

Compared with the 500,000 elite troops, there is absolutely no possibility of comparison.

Besides, for those yamen runners, a few taels of silver a month was just a means of making a living, and it was not worth risking their lives for it.

What's more, even if they really fight hard, it will be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, and it will only be courting death.

In the blink of an eye, they set out at dawn. In the evening, Lin Yaozu led 500,000 Zhenyuan troops and captured twelve cities in a row.

Every time the army arrived, the common people would hear the news and bring food and drink to welcome the royal army.

The reputation accumulated by Lin Yaozu's predecessor over the years allowed him to win the hearts of the people without any effort.

At the same time, in the imperial capital of the Dafeng Dynasty, in the court.

"Report... Report... Report... Zhenyuan Marquis Lin Yaozu has raised the slogan of clearing the court and eliminating treacherous officials, and has led an army of 500,000 to the south..."

"It's urgent... It's urgent... Lin Yaozu has taken three cities in a row... He is heading towards Kyoto..."

"Blood news...blood news...Zhenyuan Hou rebelled...and Jiayu City has been breached..."

"Report...Zhenyuan Jun broke through Tianhai Pass..."

"..."

One messenger after another, like a relay race, never stopped, and never stopped riding, galloping from the distant borders thousands of miles away, delivering shocking news one after another.

At this moment, whether it was the aloof Empress Dafeng, the strategizing Prime Minister Zhao Hui, or even every civil and military official present.

Everyone was dumbfounded and fell into unprecedented astonishment.

"What! Rebellion...! Marquis Zhenyuan actually rebelled!"

"What a damn bastard! How dare he...he...he raise such a banner of rebellion? It's outrageous! It's simply lawless!"

"The game is over! Lin Yaozu and the 500,000-strong Zhenyuan Army! Who can stand up to him? He is the evil star who dared to trample on the court of the Great Jin Dynasty and even kill the Jin Emperor!"

"..."

Faced with such shocking news, everyone was dumbfounded.

After a few breaths, Empress Dafeng fell into an unspeakable rage.

"Asshole! This damned traitor! He has totally wasted my trust!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill all nine clans! No! We must kill all ten clans to serve as a warning to others!"

Obviously, Lin Yaozu's act of resistance deeply angered the empress.

In her eyes, all under heaven belongs to the king, and all the people in the world are the king's subjects.

If the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die.

Even if the original intention was to deal with Zhenyuan Hou Lin Yaozu and kill him.

The other party should not resist, but should just die obediently.

On the other side, Prime Minister Zhao Hui’s face was extremely pale and his whole body was trembling slightly.

A hostile or even hateful opponent is the one who understands you best.

Compared with others, he understood Lin Yaozu's abilities better.

If he really decided to rebel, no one in the world, or even any army, could stop him.

The other officials were also in turmoil. While they openly agreed with the empress and scolded Lin Yaozu, they secretly had other ideas.

With the merits of following the dragon, will there be a chance to go further?
After a moment, Queen Dafeng shouted with a chill in her voice.

"Okay! Stop talking nonsense! Tell me how to deal with this traitor Lin Yaozu!"

Upon hearing this, the ministers immediately erupted into a more heated discussion.

A general stepped forward and spoke.

"Your Majesty, I believe that an imperial decree should be issued to denounce Lin Yaozu's treasonous behavior and to send 200,000 imperial guards to defend the capital."

"Order the armies on all sides to encircle and suppress this rebellious group from all directions and completely wipe it out!"

In addition, there were also righteous suggestions from civil officials.

"Your Majesty is a true dragon and phoenix. As long as you stand up and denounce the traitor Lin Yaozu, the rebellious Zhenyuan Army will naturally lay down their weapons and surrender."

"..."

Other outrageous suggestions, such as mobilizing the forces of nobles and aristocratic families to resist and using the people as human walls, also popped up one after another.

In short, most of the court officials felt in their hearts that they could not defeat Lin Yaozu and the 500,000-strong Zhenyuan Army in a head-on battle.

The only way to control someone is to attack their heart, or to use despicable means, or to exploit sympathy and kindness.
