Chapter 194 The Competition Between Monarchs and Subjects
Chapter 194 Competition between king and minister
Naturally, she did not fall into the river. Not long after she fell off the cliff, she flew out the flying claws she had prepared, embedded them in the stone, quickly controlled her body, and used the flying claws to fly around.
After rising and falling, we reached the bottom of the cliff.
She carried some medicine packs with her to keep away snakes, insects, rats and ants, and with her sharp ears and eyesight, she avoided the beasts, left the mountains, and followed the river around several villages before finding a fishing village. She borrowed the help of fishermen to leave along the river
go.
She walked very gracefully. Even if Wu Zheng and others knew that everything was planned by her, they were still worried about an accident. They led the Central Guards to search the bottom of the cliff for three days, but they did not find any bones.
The blood stains made me feel at ease.
He insisted that King Pule was once again blaming the Central Guards for stealing food and wages, and launched a sneak attack on Jun Ci.
He Lianyue testified that King Pule did indeed knock Jun Ci off the cliff in full view of the public, leaving King Pule speechless.
The incident was so big that the Central Guards took King Pule to Tongwan City. The cause and consequences were reported by He Lianyue in person, and they were rushed over 800 miles to the capital.
Coincidentally, Zhou Rong was not in the capital at this time and had returned to Jinyang for the eldest son's affairs.
Yuan You had been recovering for several days, and his body and bones had healed up. This time he had a great victory. When he received the news from Pule County, he was not polite at the moment and personally ordered Yuan She to be dismissed from his post and ordered him to return to Beijing for punishment.
Fan Chu, the magistrate of Yanlu County, took over the position of governor of Lingzhou. Yuan You approved it and quickly dispatched people to take over the position of governor of Xiazhou. By the time Zhou Rong came back, it was already too late.
Yuan You's series of arrangements made Zhou Rong very angry. When he returned to the mansion, he complained of illness. As soon as he complained of illness, everyone around him seemed to be in chaos. Many changes happened in and outside the palace one after another, which caught Yuan You off guard and made him tired.
To cope.
Yuan You didn't want to bow his head. If he could grit his teeth and push through, wouldn't he be able to suppress Zhou Rong's arrogance?
At this moment, it was revealed that Guan Long's rebel army was sweeping in, but Yuan You was still struggling to support him. Guan Long had many rebels and bandits under Zhou Rong's adopted brother Zhou Rong, but Zhou Rong never annihilated them, and his intentions were disgusting.
As long as the stationed military guards relax a little, these rebels and bandits will rush in like wild beasts that smell blood.
For a time, the war in Guanlong was raging, and letters asking for help flew like snowflakes. Yuan You was so angry that his face was livid, but there was nothing he could do.
Jun Ci went all the way south and happened to pass by Guanlong, where he encountered burning, killing and looting. However, there was order in the chaos and someone was controlling the chaos. Because of her sensitive identity, she could not show up easily, so she came to help if she could help without being exposed.
, only to find that this is just a drop in the bucket.
As a result, she had to slow down and use the contact token that Ying Wuchen gave her to find Ying Wuchen's person, only to learn the whole story from this person's mouth.
Outside the teahouse where we met with this man, we happened to see horse bandits running rampant. They not only robbed women from good families, but also attacked men from ordinary families extremely ruthlessly. Jun Ci couldn't stand it anymore and took action.
After expelling the group of horse bandits, she quickly evacuated to the next town without stopping for a moment. In this town was Lin's business. She quickly wrote a letter containing what she saw and heard along the way.
.
If Yuan You and Zhou Rong were to fight like this, the one who would be harmed would definitely be Yuan You. He was the king, and he was responsible for the suffering of the people and the loss of life.
In order for Yuan You to bow his head to Zhou Rong, he must have a certain degree of restraint and cannot be left to Zhou Rong's control.
After thinking for a while, she gave Yuan You a piece of advice. In addition, in the Guanlong area, she also withdrew some money from the Lin family and bought people to stand up. With these vulnerable people, they begged the Zhou family to garrison.
.
Maybe one, two, or even ten or dozens will be expelled, but if hundreds or thousands of people gather to kneel and beg, they will not dare to actually draw their swords against them.
This matter is also life-threatening. The Zhou garrison can not send out troops at will to refuse the people's pleas without the emperor's order. If it is pressed, they may kill a few leaders to threaten them. These emperors and Ci have communicated with these people in advance.
People make it clear.
"Xiao Lang, we are willing." These people heard this without any hesitation.
If they can no longer find a way out, won't they also die in the hands of those bandits who dehumanize their humanity? Even their wife, children, and mother-in-law will not be able to save their lives.
These tall-looking men with faces covered in dust and blood, eyes red and bright-looking, had their backs straightened and were ready to die.
Jun Ci lowered his eyes: "If we want to succeed, we must make the villagers and elders comrade with you."
It does not mean that all of them should be prepared to sacrifice, but they should not be deterred by the death of one or two people, otherwise the sacrifice of the person who sacrificed will be in vain.
The entire Guanlong border was in war due to Zhou's deliberate indulgence or direct instigation of the rebel bandits. Jun Ci could not quell it by herself, and her current identity could not be exposed.
She could only watch helplessly as these people gathered in front of Zhou Quan, Zhou Rong's sworn brother, who guarded the entire Guanlong and held great power in Guanlong.
As she expected, Zhou Quan did not send troops, citing the lack of imperial orders as an excuse, and put all the blame on Yuan You.
The people who gathered in the crowd did not want to leave, and were expelled at first. Later, probably because they felt that they had provoked the official authority, the military guards began to attack, which did not kill them, but they also beat the person who screamed the loudest.
Half disabled.
Jun Ci, who was standing in the corner, held back several times before rushing out.
She couldn't rush out. She saved these people, but she couldn't save more people. The consequence of her forcing herself to step forward would be to make the situation even more chaotic.
In places beyond the reach of the government, looting and massacres continued. Jun Ci had people spread nursery rhymes, to the effect that asking Zhou Quan for protection would surely move Zhou Quan and send troops to quell the chaos.
The effect is obvious, more and more people who cannot bear the oppression are coming.
Sure enough, Zhou Quan sent people to kill several people who asked for help in front of thousands of people, in order to scare them away and make them disperse.
But these people came with determination from the beginning. They were well prepared for Zhou Quan's killing. The people who came later had basically seen the more brutal horse bandits killing people. They did not want to retreat, even if they died, they would die at Zhou Quan's side.
Mansion gate.
There were two rebel armies in Guanlong that gave Zhou Quan a headache, but they have not yet been eliminated. Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, many people joined the rebel army one after another. The rebel army began to fight against the horse bandits in order to win over people's hearts. It continued to grow, and also
Also anxious.
Three letters were sent to the capital in a row, all telling Zhou Rong that he could no longer hold on any longer.
This competition between the monarch and his powerful ministers has caused countless people to lose their souls in the flames of war.
Yuan You also received a letter from Jun Ci, which was delivered to Kyoto by Mrs. Lin and handed over to Jun You, who brought it to Yuan You personally.
What he saw in his heart made him close his eyes in pain.
