Take charge of Ascension

Chapter 338 Zhuge and Liu Xiao

The capital of Shu Kingdom, Shuyang City, in the Imperial Palace Jinluan Hall, the emperor of Shu Kingdom, as well as ministers of civil and military affairs, gathered together, and it was time for the court meeting.

In the Golden Luan Hall, sitting high above the dragon chair is Zhuge Kongfang, the current emperor of Shu Kingdom, a mighty middle-aged man.

Zhuge Kongfang, who can be regarded as a generation of heroes, has always aimed at Zhuge Kongming, the founding emperor of the Shu Kingdom, and wanted to make the world peaceful and open up territories.

Beside Zhuge Kongfang's dragon chair, stood an old eunuch. After Zhuge Kongfang took a seat on the dragon chair, the old eunuch immediately shouted: "Play early if there is something to do, and retreat to the court if there is nothing to do."

"Report to Your Majesty, I have the original performance."

The old eunuch's words had just finished, and a figure who looked like a fierce Zhang Fei came out from the team of civil and military ministers below, bowed deeply to the top, and said loudly.

Zhuge Kongfang said solemnly: "Quick play!"

The old eunuch stepped down immediately.He took a memorial from the man who looked like Zhang Fei, and presented it to Zhuge Kongfang. When he saw it, his expression was gloomy.

With a sound of "pa", he slapped the memorial on the armrest of the dragon chair, and Zhuge Kongfang was furious: "How can this be reasonable? These unruly people are making chaos everywhere. Are they really bad for the imperial court's swordsmen?"

Zhuge Kongfang got angry for no reason, many of the civil and military people below were confused, and they didn't know what had caused the emperor to be so furious.

Seeing the puzzlement of the civil and military crowd, Zhuge Kongfang handed the memorial to the old eunuch at the side and said, "Read it out loud so that everyone can listen and see what these troublesome people have done."

Zhuge Kongfang's loud roar, like thunder, exploded in the Golden Luan Hall, making the hearts of all civil and military ministers tremble and the pressure was great.

The old eunuch was in a high position, with a proud expression, he glanced at a group of respectful civil and military ministers below, and read out the contents of the memorial one by one.

Soon, Zhuge Kongfang adjusted his mood. He had seen too many such things. Shu is such a big country, how can something happen every day, and rebellions like this happen from time to time.

If the rebellion had not been provoked by Taipingdao, Zhuge Kongfang would not have cared about it at all. It was because of the incident involving Taipingdao that he was furious.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Zhuge Kongfang's expression returned to normal, and he said calmly: "My dear friends, please tell me what to do."

A figure like Zhang Fei stood up, took a step forward, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, the people of Taiping Dao are so rampant. They clearly want to rebel. They must not be tolerated anymore. I suggest that we send troops immediately to suppress the rebellion. At the same time, for Taiping Dao, we can no longer tolerate it, we must crack down severely."

It has been nearly a thousand years since the Taiping Dao developed in the Kingdom of Shu. It is impossible for the imperial court not to have discovered it. However, the Taiping Dao has always been relatively low-key, so it did not arouse the fury of the Shu Kingdom court and pursue it.

In fact, in the court of Shu Kingdom, many ministers saw the scourge of Taipingdao, and many ministers wrote letters, but none of them received the support of the Emperor of Shu Kingdom.

Taipingdao is not without strength within the imperial court. Although the penetration is relatively weak, it is no problem to help Taipingdao say a few words in a less severe situation.

This time, it was different. Taiping Dao dared to attack Guangyang County, which was clearly a sign of rebellion. In the Golden Luan Palace, apart from the fierce Zhang Fei, there were also many other civil and military personnel who stood up and firmly supported the dispatch of troops. .

On the mainland, the Kingdom of Shu is a powerful country. Even if it fights against the countries Wei and Wu, which have always been hostile, it has never been at a disadvantage.

Today, Zhuge Kongfang dared to stroke a tiger's beard in a mere way of peace. How could Zhuge Kongfang tolerate it?

"Okay, then send troops to quell the rebellion."

Zhuge Kongfang said loudly.

When the old eunuch read out the content of the memorial, a young official standing at the back of the team of civil and military ministers changed slightly, showing worry.

When the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee were excited and clamored to send troops to quell the rebellion and even wipe out the Taiping Dao, the expressions of the young officials changed. If you observe carefully, you can clearly see it.

Fortunately, the young official lowered his head slightly, and other people did not see the change in his expression, otherwise, they would definitely be suspicious.

The young officials hesitated for a while, whether they should come out and say a few words for the Taiping Dao, but seeing that no one in the hall did so, they restrained themselves.

Until Zhuge Kongfang made it clear that he would send troops to quell the rebellion, the young officials finally gave up completely and calmly became a bystander.

……

The imperial court of the Kingdom of Shu had already sent troops to Guangyang County to quell the rebellion. It was only ten days later that the news spread to Guangyang County, and Taiping Dao heard about it.

Based on the distance from Shuyang City to Guangyang County, within ten days, the news can reach, and it can already be seen that Taipingdao has great magical powers.

Although the news arrived, it was not spread. It was circulated among the high-level people in Taipingdao, also in order to avoid causing panic in the city.

More importantly, the senior officials of Taipingdao were afraid that after the news spread, the people in the city would be overwhelmed, and they might conspire to welcome the imperial army.

In the Kingdom of Shu, after all, the imperial court is orthodox and occupies the status of righteousness. Taipingdao is equivalent to a cult organization, but it is a relatively powerful cult organization.

Between good and evil, it is self-evident which side the residents of the city will choose.

Moreover, when Guangyang County was conquered at the beginning, the soldiers and horses of Taipingdao and a group of refugees caused panic in the city.

Because the power of Taipingdao was strong, there was an army to suppress it. Later, under Zhao Ji's strict governance, the army was greatly restrained, so there were no troubles.

Liu Xiao knew very well that the hearts of the people in Guangyang County were against each other, and they were not in Taiping Road, but in the imperial court. Therefore, when they heard that the imperial army had been dispatched, one could imagine the anxiety in their hearts.

On the same day, Huo An offended Zhang Jiao and was thrown into the dust. Liu Xiao succeeded Huo An and ascended to the commander-in-chief position. The pride in his heart was beyond words.

For a long time, Liu Xiao and Huo An have been rivals. In Guangyang County, Huo An has been fighting for power and profit, and Huo An has always suppressed Liu Xiao. It is extremely difficult for him to cultivate a few confidants.

Huo An was unlucky, and when it was his turn, Liu Xiao was naturally overjoyed, but who would have thought that this kind of refreshment and complacency would not last long, and the imperial court's crusade soldiers would be ushered in.

No matter how unlucky he felt, since he was already in this position, the imperial court's anti-insurgency army had to deal with it.

"Damn it, I'm going to fight. If I can make it this time, I will be able to secure my position as Marshal. If not, I'll be beaten back to my original shape."

Standing in front of the window of his study, looking at the drowsy sky outside, Liu Xiao felt both heavy and fighting spirit, and gritted his teeth.
