"No!" The first person to object was not Gao Xun, but Yu Wenjing who was gathered here. "Today there is a banquet in the middle of the court. We are all thinking that His Majesty and Zhou Ronghui are breaking up today, but the Queen has not yet given birth.
"
Zhou Rong would not take action against Yuan You until the child was born. Yuan You died before the child was born. A country cannot live without a king for a day. Where could Zhou Rong find a legitimate heir to take the throne?
With Zhou Rong's ability, it is not impossible to forcibly change the dynasty, but they in Beizhen have a reputation for getting sick immediately.
Zhou Rong may not be afraid, but he would not choose such a stupid and costly method, otherwise there would be no need to wait until today.
"What are you afraid of?" He Bazhuang instinctively retorted to Yu Wenjing, "They are getting along well today. We took action first. It would take several days for the news to reach the court. The queen was not far away from giving birth. Could it be that Zhou Rong
So you want to give up the throne and send troops to us first? Are you not afraid of being counterattacked by His Majesty who is desperate?"
"Ha." Yu Wen sneered, "Do you think that if Zhou Guang dies, Zhou Rong will have no one to use? Beizhen is really launching a riot. I will use my head as a guarantee. He will send troops to suppress it in an honest and upright manner!
As for Your Majesty, he is already a dying man in his eyes. He doesn't care if he lives a few more days.
Once he pacifies Beizhen and lets His Majesty die suddenly, the entire Northern Dynasty will easily fall into his hands!"
Zhou Rong naturally valued Beizhen more than Yuan You.
Killing Yuan You is still a big worry for Beizhen.
To destroy Bei Town, Yuan You still took care of it at will!
Which one is lighter and which one is more important is clear at a glance.
Otherwise, why would they have endured Dong Qi for more than half a year?
"Wait a minute." Gao Xun said, "There is no news from the Dong Mansion. We have sent troops to surround Huaishuo Town for half a day. Dong Qi has dispatched troops and generals to prepare for war, but there is no trace of Jun's daughter."
"She still hates us? Can she be better than Zhou Rong?" He Bachuan vowed, "She will definitely take Zhou Rong's life!"
If it were him, he wouldn't be able to just watch Zhou Rong, the instigator, take over the imperial court. If he wanted to kill Zhou Rong then, it would be as difficult as climbing to heaven!
Gao Xun always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what exactly was wrong.
Jun Ci must hate Zhou Rong the most. Does she want to capture Beizhen first, sit back and watch Zhou Rong become bigger, and then compete with Zhou Rong at the top?
This is impossible!
Once Zhou Rong killed Yuan You and supported the puppet emperor of the Zhou family, it would only take a few days for the emperor to abdicate. Once Zhou Rong proclaimed himself emperor, under what pretext did Jun Ci kill Zhou Rong?
I'm afraid that before she can capture Beizhen, Zhou Rong can justifiably command Beizhen!
If you take action against them first, Jun Ci will undoubtedly be seeking death unwisely.
Obviously these are reasonable inferences, but Gao Xun's inner worries still linger.
None of them thought that Jun Ci would not return to the court, and that Yuan You, an emperor who was not looked down upon by them, could kill Zhou Rong.
The Palace of Supreme Harmony in the Northern Dynasties was a place for banquets with officials. At this moment, the lights were bright, the silk and bamboo were singing, and the orioles were singing and the swallows were dancing.
Except for a few arrogant people, every minister was on guard. They concealed their inner uneasiness and imagined how to deal with a sudden change in the palace. For a while, there were few people to change cups.
Halfway through the banquet, a guard hurried over: "Report——"
A powerful shout made the civil and military ministers present straighten their backs for the first time, feeling a sense of relief that had finally come.
"Your Majesty, the whole city is in rebellion."
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole place fell silent, and immediately everyone showed a look of surprise.
They were waiting for a good show, not the one they expected.
"What?" Yuan You slapped the table and stood up. Because he stood hastily, his breathing was messed up and his body swayed.
He steadied himself, grabbed the folded book that was handed over to him, and after reading it roughly at a glance, he ordered someone to pass it on to Zhou Rong, who would then pass it on.
After walking around for a while and returning to Yuan You's desk, almost everyone knew what had happened.
He Lianyue rebelled!
No one is unfamiliar with the Helian family in Tongwan City, but these people always find it a bit strange to say that the Helian family is plotting rebellion.
But the reasons for the Helian family's rebellion are hard to fault. Tongwan City has not received supplies from the imperial court for three consecutive years, and there has been no harvest for two consecutive years. The people are miserable and have already begun to change their sons for food.
Zhou Rong's eyes flashed. Since the beginning of last year, the Helian family had repeatedly reported the disaster situation in Wancheng and asked the imperial court for disaster relief, but he had personally suppressed it.
The Helian clan is a brave army and cannot be strengthened. Naturally, he has no intention of forcing people to rebel. He is just holding back the military supplies of Tongwan City in order to prevent Tongwan City from becoming a success.
Before the end of the year, Helian made several attempts in succession, but he suppressed them all.
In his estimation, the Helian family should be able to survive this year. He waited for his grandson to be born, and then with a wave of his hand as a benefactor, he gave Tongwan City enough food and grass, so he didn't have to worry about being bribed.
Helen's.
Unexpectedly, at this juncture, the Helian clan would dispatch a large army to Chang'an because they had no food in Tongwan City.
The courtiers were all confused. They thought about the mutiny in the palace first, and thought about Beizhen being unable to bear it and taking a preemptive strike. They never expected that the silent mutiny in Tongwan City would happen first.
The mutiny has become a fact, so naturally it cannot be ignored, especially Zhou Rong. At this juncture, he cannot allow any deviation.
The DPRK and China launched a fierce crusade on how to quell the mutiny. Some people advocated mobilizing surrounding garrison troops to respond first, which was strongly opposed by the Zhou family.
A single move can affect the whole body, and this war will last for who knows how long. The Helian clan is also a battle-hardened general, and ordinary armies are simply invincible.
Zhou Rong did not want to move the surrounding armies because he would inevitably launch a palace coup within a month. He did not want to take advantage of the chaos without troops stationed in these areas, which would greatly delay his progress in dealing with Beizhen.
Similarly, Zhou Rong did not want to send his people all the way to quell the chaos at this time. His people, whether inside or outside the capital, must be placed in the most critical position at this crucial time.
In the end, after a long argument, someone suggested that we let the Central Guards go to quell the chaos.
Zhou Rong looked at Yuan You, who was leaning on a chair with a tired face and his eyes closed as if he hadn't heard what they were saying, and actually agreed.
"Aye, Jun Ci is nowhere to be found. We will send out the Central Guard Army at this time. If he falls into her hands again." Zhou Chengwen felt that something was wrong.
"If we don't send the Central Guard Army, who will we send?" Zhou Rong asked.
Zhou Chengwen choked, he didn't know who to send.
If they want to cause trouble, naturally they can't move their people easily. Except for their people and some people in important places, they can't move. The rest are not without people, but people can't compete with the Helian clan, for fear of causing more trouble.
.
"It's better for the Central Guards to go, so as not to stay and cause trouble." Zhou Rong said, "As for running towards Jun Ci, if they have the intention, they will only stay towards Jun Ci."
He couldn't just massacre an army of 20,000 people for no reason before the overall situation was stable.
After thinking about it, regardless of whether or not Jun Ci is plotting, it would be more beneficial to drive out the Central Guards first!
