Immortality starts from eating melons in the cold palace

Chapter 52 The prince leads the troops and has great achievements.

News of corruption in Shaanxi.

In less than half an hour, it spread throughout the capital.

Shaanxi is originally a poor place with frequent disasters.

The conversion of rice into medicine was implemented three years ago. Although there were not many rice fields in Shaanxi, local officials and large households did not miss this opportunity.

Using the excuse of converting rice into medicine, they suppressed dissidents, made money wantonly, and annexed land.

From the governor down to the squire.

Everyone ate heartily.

Shaanxi was originally a powder keg.

This exorbitant taxation, regardless of appearance, directly ignited this powder keg.

Three hundred thousand rebels defeated Xi'an Prefecture.

The whole land of Shaanxi was on fire.

Hou Yu, the governor of Shaanxi, even had his head cut off by the rebels and hung on the city gate of Xi'an.

[You witnessed the Shaanxi Civil War, absorbed the power of time, and got +120 witness points! 】

Li Changsheng looked at the added witness points and was silent for a while.

The causes sown in the past are the fruits reaped today.

The Shaanxi civil uprising had already been decided when Emperor Jingming decided to turn rice into medicine.

The emperor said that one hundred thousand hectares of rice would be converted into medicine.

When we get down there, where can one hundred thousand hectares be stopped?

With less than three to five million hectares, where can we satisfy the appetites of these gourmets?

……

Jin Palace.

At three o'clock in the morning, the lights were still bright.

In the study, King Jin and his staff were all in high spirits and not sleepy at all.

Discussing the civil uprising in Shaanxi.

King Jin said excitedly to everyone.

"Everyone, this civil uprising in Shaanxi is an excellent opportunity for me to gain military power."

"Your Highness is right. In the competition between you and the Crown Prince, you have the upper hand in all other aspects."

"Only in military affairs, he is not as good as the prince."

"If His Highness can suppress the civil uprising in Shaanxi, he will be on an equal footing with the Crown Prince in military affairs."

The staff present were talking all over the place and giving King Jin advice.

In the past three years, the battle for the right to inherit the throne has become increasingly fierce.

King Jin has the upper hand in other aspects.

Only in terms of military affairs, the prince regained Fengxue Pass and put down the rebellion of Prime Minister Yang, which gave him great advantages.

If the King of Jin can command the troops during the civil uprising in Shaanxi, he will have no shortcomings when facing the prince.

"Your Highness, Master Tao is here to visit."

The confidant butler reported in the ear of King Jin.

"Please come in, Master Tao... No... I will go see Master Tao in person."

King Jin hurried to see Tao Zhenren.

Although it is not known that Tao Zhenren was a confidant of Emperor Jingming, perhaps Tao Zhenren's late night visit was with Emperor Jingming's will.

After meeting Tao Zhenren, Tao Zhenren said straight to the point.

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, you should not seek to unite the troops during this civil uprising in Shaanxi."

"why?"

King Jin was stunned for a moment and frowned.

This is completely different from his plan.

Tao Zhenren waved his fly whisk and spoke eloquently.

"Your Highness, is the prince strong in military affairs?"

"powerful!"

King Jin thought about it and uttered a word with an unhappy expression.

Although he was unwilling in his heart, he had to admit that the prince was extremely strong in military matters.

Looking at the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, they are among the top three in terms of commanding troops.

"The prince is extremely strong in military affairs, but he is a little too strong."

Master Tao smiled slightly.

King Jin reacted immediately.

"Master Tao, what do you mean by this?"

"The prince is very good at military affairs, how can your majesty feel at ease?"

"This time, if the prince is asked to lead the troops to quell the civil unrest in Shaanxi, I'm afraid he will..."

"His merits surpass those of the master!"

Tao Zhenren's heart-breaking words refreshed King Jin's spirits and began to make plans.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was great potential for this matter.

Once the father is made afraid of the prince's power, the prince will be doomed.

King Jin took a deep breath and bowed his hands to Zhenren Tao.

"Thank you, Master Tao, for your guidance."

……

The next day.

Great court meeting.

Emperor Jingming rarely went to court.

At the court meeting, Emperor Jingming discussed the civil uprising in Shaanxi with hundreds of civil and military officials.

"Your Majesty, the prince is like a god in his military skills. With the prince as commander and 200,000 elite soldiers, he will surely be able to quell the civil uprising."

The Minister of War took a step forward and reported to Emperor Jingming.

Immediately afterwards, more than fifty officials came out one after another to echo.

"I second the proposal!"

"I second the proposal!"

"I second the proposal!"

……

The voices of support resounded throughout the Jinluan Palace.

The expressions of the prince and the princeling officials all changed drastically.

Because the Minister of War and other officials who submitted the report were members of the Jin Dynasty Party.

The King of Jin and his party actually elected His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to command the army. What's the conspiracy?
  Something is wrong!
  Something is wrong!
  Anyone with some experience in officialdom would notice something strange in the court today.

On the dragon throne, Emperor Jingming's face looked horribly ugly.

It almost seemed like the water could be squeezed out.

There was a volcano about to erupt in his chest.

If it weren't for the wrong situation, I'm afraid he would get angry directly.

In the past few years, he had sat back and watched the Jin king form a party.

Just to lift up the King of Jin and put down the Prince.

Today the King of Jin gave him such a move, forcing him to choose the prince as his commander-in-chief.

This is completely contrary to Emperor Jingming's thoughts.

His original intention was to have the King of Jin command the troops and weaken the prince's influence in the army.

Emperor Jingming's eyes flickered, and he quickly understood King Jin's plan.

I want the prince to be as powerful as the master!

"Humph--"

"My two good sons!"

"No one has to worry about it!"

King Jin did not want to contribute.

All civil and military officials strongly recommended the prince.

Emperor Jingming could not insist on his own way and force King Jin to command the army.

I can only hold my nose and regard the prince as handsome.

"Prince, you are the general who conquers the west, commanding 200,000 troops, and quickly put down the civil uprising in Shaanxi."

"My son, I obey!"

……

The storm in Jinluan Palace has come to an end for now.

But the storm outside Jinluan Palace has just begun.

East Palace.

Today is the first time that Zhang Wenzheng has participated in the rally as an aide to the prince.

Everyone was discussing what happened in the Jinluan Palace today.

"Wenzheng, what do you think?" the prince asked.

The prince still attaches great importance to Zhang Wenzheng, the first great talent in this dynasty to win six yuan in a row.

Zhang Wenzheng said in a deep voice.

"I believe that His Highness should not accept the appointment as General of the Expedition to the West."

"Why?"

"Your Highness, you have done a great job!"

"This is a trap set by King Jin for you, Your Highness."

"Your Highness, your efforts to quell the civil uprising in Shaanxi will definitely dissatisfy His Majesty."

"If we do not put down the civil uprising in Shaanxi, we will definitely lose military morale."

"Therefore, whether you win or not win on the battlefield, Your Highness, you lose."

"Wen Zheng, you have a great talent, you hit the nail on the head and penetrate deep into the heart!"

The prince looked at Zhang Wenzheng with increasing satisfaction.

Zhang Wenzheng is indeed a great talent.

"Wen Zheng, you are right."

"But this world belongs to my Zhu family."

"Now that the world is in chaos, everyone can shirk responsibility, but I, a descendant of the Zhu family, cannot shirk responsibility."

"The King of Jin only knows how to fight for power and gain, and doesn't care about the world, but he can't do it alone!"

The prince's heartfelt words moved everyone.

Knowing that something cannot be done but doing it is a warrior!
  "Your Highness is righteous!"

"Please give me a helping hand."

The prince bowed his hands to everyone.

……

a few days later.

Zhang Wenzheng came to Li Changsheng for a drink.

"shocking!"

"Shocking!"

Zhang Wenzheng was filled with sorrow and indignation, which was beyond words and all showed on his face.

"What's wrong?" Li Changsheng asked.

"The prince led the troops to quell the civil uprising in Shaanxi and ordered me to join the army."

"I helped the prince investigate the situation in Shaanxi. The situation in Shaanxi can simply be described as sensational."

"The rich have endless fields, but the poor have no place to stand!"

"Shaanxi is already poor, and 80% of the fertile land is in the hands of wealthy households."

"This is still the data reported to the court. The real situation is probably even worse."

"All the fertile farmland in Shaanxi has gone into the hands of the big families. Ordinary people must either work as slaves for the big families, or they can only become bandits."

"With this situation, how can Shaanxi not be in chaos?"

Zhang Wenzheng shook his head repeatedly.

The more data he looked at, the more he felt.

Dazhou, I'm sick!
  heavy sick!

A good doctor is needed to treat Da Zhou.

[You have witnessed the land annexation in Shaanxi, drawing on the power of time, witness points +20! 】

Li Changsheng was stunned for a moment when he saw the reminder of the witness point.

Is this also possible?

Hearing the court's intelligence data from Zhang Wenzheng's mouth can also increase witness points.

Suddenly, Li Changsheng realized that he was stupid.

There was an excellent option for increasing witness points that he hadn't thought of before.

Intelligence agency!

If you have your own intelligence agency, you can continuously get news from all over the Zhou Dynasty.

Even if it is heard, the witness point is at least this level of witness.

But a little can make a lot, and the sand can make a tower!
