Chapter 320 Fang Jingyu disappears and rebellion breaks out in Hebei
After the meeting of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes.
A robbery and murder order was issued against Li Danqiu.
After Bishamon and Den Ling clan's murder orders were issued last time, they have almost disappeared now.
Now that Qiwang of the Five Surnames has issued a robbery and murder order again, Li Danqiu may be in danger.
But Fang Yuan couldn't care about these.
Because Fang Jingyu is missing.
I went out to play by myself and never came back.
I thought I would come back later, but I still haven’t seen her come back after dinner.
This is the first time that Fang Jingyu has not returned before dinner since she has been living in Fang Mansion.
The most important thing is that there is no news sent back.
"Have someone bring the news to Luo Zheng and help find Fang Jingyu."
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
Fang Jingyu is a very well-behaved child.
She suddenly disappeared without any news. It was probably an accident.
That night, everyone in the Fang Mansion went out to look for Fang Jingyu, but there was no news.
"Master, there is no news from Jingyu all night, could something happen to her?"
Hongxu said with red eyes.
She searched for most of the night last night, and then she stayed up almost the whole night, wondering if she could wait for Fang Jingyu to come back.
But now that the sun has risen, I still haven’t seen Fang Jingyu come back. There has been no news all night, so I’m afraid it’s all bad.
"Calm down, the Chang'an County Government is already looking for you."
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
He was also worried, but he could only wait.
Chang'an County Government already deployed manpower to search last night.
The security team has also been dispatched, searching the whole city for traces of Fang Jingyu.
As for Bafang Group's stores, Fang Yuan gave them Fang Jingyu's portrait, asking them to watch it and notify the Fang Mansion or take it back to the Fang Mansion once they find it.
Give some time, Fang Jingyu should find it.
"I'm still worried. I'll keep looking."
Hongxu thought for a while and went out again.
Fang Yuan wanted to stop her, but after thinking about it, he let her go.
After changing his clothes, Fang Yuan told him that Du Miaoyan had Fang Jingyu and asked someone to notify him, and then went to the morning court.
After the morning meeting, Fang Yuan returned to the household office.
I still thought there would be news about Fang Jingyu after Xiangwu.
But still nothing!
For this reason, Fang Yuan really began to worry about what happened to her.
"Master Fang, there is a government official named Luo Zheng who wants to see you."
At this time, the soldiers guarding the city from Zhuque Gate came to report.
"Thank you."
Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment, then stood up and left.
Within the Zhuque Gate is the scope of the imperial palace.
Ordinary people are not qualified to enter the palace, even yamen servants.
But you can report, but most of the time you have to go out to the Suzaku Gate to meet.
Not long after, Fang Yuan walked out of the Suzaku Gate and saw Luo Zheng.
"My lord!"
Luo Zheng immediately saluted respectfully.
"Is there any news?"
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
"Yesterday afternoon, someone saw Fang Jingyu leaving Chang'an City with others."
"From the description of the listener, Fang Jingyu did not seem to have been abducted, but followed him away voluntarily."
Luo Zhenggong said.
After many searches, he finally got a clue.
But that's limited to this. There is no news about Fang Jingyu after leaving Chang'an City.
"What does the other person look like? Do you have a description?"
Fang Yuan frowned and said in a deep voice.
Fang Jingyu has no friends in Chang'an City, so she shouldn't leave with them.
Although she is young, her childhood experience means that she will not trust others casually and will not be deceived.
"Wearing black clothes and a cloak, his appearance is indistinguishable."
"I asked the soldiers guarding the city, and they said that the man gave him a pass, so he was not searched."
Luo Zhenggong said.
"Could it be him?!"
Fang Yuan was greatly shocked.
For a moment, I thought of a person, Bishamon's military advisor.
Although he was also trapped in Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum that day, the possibility of death was very high.
But with his ability, it is normal for him to come out alive.
I just didn’t expect that he would take Fang Jingyu away.
"Do you have any clues?"
Luo Zheng asked.
If there are clues, he can continue the search.
"It's most likely Bishamon's military advisor."
"Be careful when you search."
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
His first thought was to ask Zheng Guanyin.
But since the last incident, Li Shimin imprisoned Zheng Guanyin.
She is no longer under house arrest, but is being imprisoned in a sky jail. It is not impossible to see her.
"Bishamon Military Advisor?!"
Luo Zheng exclaimed and was shocked.
As a search talent, he had heard of Bishamon Military Advisor.
In Bishamon without a sect leader, the Bishamon military advisor is the leader of Bishamon.
He is a very powerful person, but no one knows what he is like so far.
"You go search first, I want to see someone."
"If I get useful information, I will pass it on to you."
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
He decided to meet Zheng Guanyin through Liu Zheng.
"My subordinates resign."
Luo Zheng salutes and leaves.
Fang Yuan returned to the palace and went directly to Liu Zhenghui.
Liu Zhenghui was reluctant at first, but after Fang Yuan used his favor, he had to agree.
Not long after, Fang Yuan entered the prison with the help of Liu Zhenghui and saw the imprisoned Zheng Guanyin.
After not seeing each other for many days, Zheng Guanyin looked very haggard and looked a lot thinner.
"Fang Yuan?!"
Zheng Guanyin was full of surprise after seeing Fang Yuan.
After being imprisoned here, no one, including the emperor, came to see her, and she seemed to be forgotten from then on.
At first Zheng Guanyin thought this was not bad, but then it stopped working. She began to feel lonely and haggard.
"I have something to ask you."
"Do you know why Bishamon's military advisor took away Fang Jingyu?"
Fang Yuan went straight to the topic.
Liu Zhenghui only gave him a moment to burn incense.
After burning the incense, Fang Yuan will leave here to avoid being discovered.
"Know."
Zheng Guanyin was stunned for a moment, then smiled proudly.
"Will it hurt Fang Jingyu?"
Fang Yuan frowned and said in a deep voice.
Sure enough, it was Bishamon's military advisor who took it away.
And Zheng Guanyin seems to know something.
"Definitely not."
Zheng Guanyin chuckled.
Looking at Fang Yuan with strange eyes.
Still thinking that Fang Yuan was asking about their whereabouts.
But I never thought that I was actually concerned about whether Fang Jingyu would be injured.
"Can you tell me where Fang Jingyu is?"
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
"No."
Zheng Guanyin bared her teeth and smiled.
The dignity and elegance in her no longer exist.
"Farewell!"
Fang Yuan turned around and left.
He didn't hold out hope that he could find out Zheng Guanyin's whereabouts.
Just know who Fang Jingyu left with and whether there is any danger.
Leave the rest to Luo Zheng, if you can find the best, if you can't find it
"Oh, Fang Yuan, you just left like this?"
Zheng Guanyin was surprised.
I even felt lost.
It’s been a long time since I communicated with someone.
She was a little sad that Fang Yuan left like this.
"How about you tell me Fang Jingyu's whereabouts?"
Fang Yuanyuan didn't go back to the exit.
Zheng Guanyin opened his mouth, but in the end he did not stop Fang Yuan.
It is impossible for her to tell Fang Yuan the whereabouts of Fang Jingyu.
In fact, she was not sure where Fang Jingyu was.
I just knew something like this would happen.
Soon, something big will happen.
After Fang Yuan left the prison, he returned to the Ministry of Finance.
Have someone send the news back to Fang Mansion and Luo Zheng so that they don’t have to worry.
Luo Zheng did not get any useful information from Fang Yuan, so his search was still difficult to carry out.
Several days passed by, but there was no news about Fang Jingyu. Everyone in the Fang Mansion had to give up their determination to continue searching.
On this day, a piece of news came back, shocking the entire city of Chang'an.
Rebellion broke out in Hebei.
The main force of the rebellion is the local people.
Since ancient times, the rebellion of the common people has been the most terrifying thing.
That almost represented the imperial court's fish and meat for the common people, causing the local people to revolt.
Ever since, the whole city of Chang'an seemed to be in an earthquake, and everyone was talking about the rebellion in Hebei.
Fang Yuan was very surprised when he found out. He couldn't believe that under Li Shimin's governance, there would be a rebellion led by common people.
"My husband may not know something, but the hearts of the people of Hebei are not in the court."
After Du Miaoyan learned about Fang Yuan's surprise, she sighed and explained.
"How do you say this?"
Fang Yuan asked curiously.
"When the Tang Dynasty was first established, Kou Jiande was dominant in Hebei."
"It was during the Qin Dynasty that His Majesty personally led a large army to attack and captured Kou Jiande alive."
"Originally, His Majesty promised not to kill Kou Jiande, but the Emperor insisted on killing him and finally killed Kou Jiande."
"However, no one thought that it was because the Supreme Emperor insisted on killing Kou Jiande that he greatly lost the hearts of the people in Hebei, which led to the current situation."
Du Miaoyan sighed and said.
At that time, Kou Jiande had a high reputation in Hebei and loved the people like his own children.
Li Shimin clearly promised not to kill him on behalf of the imperial court, but in the end he went against his promise and killed him anyway.
As a result, the people in Hebei had strong opinions against the imperial court, and would cause turmoil from time to time, and occasionally rebellions might break out.
Some are big and some are small, but they are very detrimental to the stability of the court.
The imperial court had to send troops to quell the chaos every time, but it could not stop the killing with killing like it did to Lingnan.
After all, Lingnan is nominally a Toast Rebellion, while Hebei is a common people's rebellion, and it's hard to find charges.
"It turns out there is such a secret."
Fang Yuan sighed.
He doesn't know this history.
So I feel quite sighing.
The Hebei Rebellion, I guess the Emperor is regretting it, right?
As Fang Yuan thought, Li Yuan was indeed regretful.
After the news of the Hebei rebellion came, he regretted it.
I regret that I didn’t listen to Li Shimin and shouldn’t have killed Kou Jiande.
Killing Kou Jiande was temporarily satisfying, but in the follow-up, Hebei was never really able to belong to the Tang Dynasty. This was his heartache.
"Ask the emperor, how do you plan to deal with the Hebei problem?"
Li Yuan sighed.
Let the eunuchs in the palace ask Li Shimin how he is going to deal with it?
Is it appeasement, forceful suppression, or other methods?
At this time, Li Shimin also had a headache, and Li Ke and Li Tai were both there, so he decided to test them.
"Tell me, how should the rebellion in Hebei be resolved?"
Li Shimin said in a deep voice.
"Father, I am my elder brother and Qingque is my younger brother. Let Qingque speak first."
Li Ke was the first to say.
Show the humility of an elder brother.
When Li Shimin saw this, he smiled.
"I'll tell you first." Li Tai glanced at Li Ke and complained in his heart that Li Ke was not well-intentioned: "I thought that the people in Hebei loved Kou Jiande and there has been no change for many years. Maybe our court wants to build a monument to Kou Jiande.
Apologize to the people of Hebei and inspire them with kindness."
After listening, Li Shimin nodded slightly, without making any comments, and looked at Li Ke.
"Father, I think what Qingque said is inappropriate."
"The rebellion in Hebei is no longer a once or twice problem."
"And our court adopts a benevolent attitude to deal with problems every time."
"So much so that the people of Hebei thought that our court's tolerance of them had no bottom line."
"This time, I thought I should use violence to suppress the rebellion and let them know the consequences of the rebellion."
Li Ke said in a deep voice.
The opinion is opposite to Li Tai’s.
"Very good, everyone has their own opinions."
"But my father believed that the Hebei rebellion could not be suppressed with violence, nor could a monument be built in honor of the bandits."
"Send troops to build momentum, but raise them high and put them down gently, giving the people of Hebei an unforgettable memory and a warning."
Li Shimin said in a deep voice.
Li Tai's method is too benevolent and is not advisable on the Hebei issue.
Li Ke's method is too violent and could easily divide Hebei.
The way to learn from the two of them is not violence or benevolence, but it will have miraculous results.
"Father is wise!"
Li Ke and Li Tai flattered each other again and again.
"Father, I would like to invite you to take care of my father's worries."
Li Tai said again.
I want to take this opportunity to perform well.
After all, there is no prince anymore.
He has to perform well to gain more support.
"Qingque, don't go with your figure. Let my brother go for you."
"Father, the sons and ministers ask for tassels to fight for the court, fight for the father, and fight for Qingque."
Li Ke took a step forward and said in a deep voice.
Li Tai's expression changed, and just as he was about to refute, Li Shimin had already spoken.
"Ke'er is thoughtful and knows how to think about his younger brother."
"Okay, I will allow you to lead the troops this time."
Li Shimin was very happy with what Li Ke said.
I know I feel sorry for my younger brother, and I know I don’t take all the credit.
Good brother, this is the son he wants.
"Thank you, Father!"
Li Ke is excited and grateful.
Li Tai on the side rolled his eyes, but could only endure it.
He didn't believe that Li Ke was doing it for him. Li Ke didn't have that heart.
Even if it is for him, it is useless, because ministers only look at the results.
If Li Ke returns with great success this time, he will become the best candidate for the crown prince.
"Everyone, please step aside."
Li Shimin chuckled.
After Li Ke and Li Tai left, Li Yuan's eunuch came over.
After Li Shimin told him the result, the eunuch went back to inform Li Yuan.
Time passes slowly.
Li Shimin's imperial edict was finally issued, and Li Ke was appointed as the marching commander.
The Ministry of War immediately began to mobilize troops and generals to prepare for Li Ke's war.
The Ministry of Revenue also began to prepare food and grass to prepare for Li Ke's war.
This time the food and grass were also prepared by Fang Yuan, and he quickly prepared almost the same amount of food.
When he was about to get off work in the afternoon, Li Ke came to the household department in person.
When this time comes, I must be checking the food and grass.
Tang Jian personally led the household department to greet him.
"I'm looking for Mr. Fang."
After a few polite conversations with Tang Jian, Li Ke explained his intention.
Tang Jian didn't ask any questions and just let everyone do what they were supposed to do.
Fang Yuan, on the other hand, was left to stay with Li Ke.
