Chapter 81 The minister agrees with the words of the eight sage kings
As the prime minister, Yuan Bo led the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. At this time, he had to stand up and speak.
He knew that for such a big event, if he, the prime minister of the auxiliary country, did not stand up, it would be too unreasonable.
In addition to the prime minister Yuan Bo, Zhou Xian, the king of the Eight Sages, also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the Yanzhou mob gathered hundreds of thousands of people to revolt and capture the land of the three prefectures. "
"And the local government sent an urgent letter from eight hundred miles away. Obviously, the local government's military equipment is not enough to suppress the mob, otherwise it would not ask the court for help."
"Therefore, the imperial court should immediately mobilize the army to Yanzhou to quell the chaos, so as to prevent the rebels from taking over,"
Zhou Xian, the king of the Eight Sages, said with a solemn expression.
"Your Majesty, this minister agrees with the words of the Eight Sages."
"Now that there is a severe drought in Yanzhou, if the rebels are allowed to continue to abuse, the entire Yanzhou may be in danger."
"The court must immediately mobilize the army to suppress it."
"Furthermore, at the same time, the four northern states will be fully opened for disaster relief, and the ministers of the DPRK and China will be dispatched to supervise them in person."
Fang Xuanling also stood up and admonished.
From Fang Xuanling's point of view, the Yanzhou mob gathered hundreds of thousands of people to rebel, and they simply couldn't survive.
There was a severe drought in the four continents in the north, the households were empty before, and the imperial court was ineffective in disaster relief. The people had no way out, so they had to rise up.
If he could survive, who would do this kind of beheading business of looting the family and exterminating the family.
Therefore, if the people are not relieved, the suppression by the army alone cannot be suppressed.
Unless all the people of the four northern states are slaughtered.
Otherwise, one group will be suppressed, and then another group will raise the flag to rebel.
Just like that spark, it cannot be extinguished without fundamentally solving the problem.
Baiguan's eyes flickered for Fang Xuanling's advice.
If they remembered correctly, the matter of the four houses in the northwest, the Taishi was right in the courtroom.
As a result, Grand Master Wen Zhong took [-] Shenwuwei to the land of the four prefectures in the northwest, and he never returned.
Following Fang Xuanling's opening, officials from the Imperial Party's faction, such as the Mighty Marquis and the Minister of War, spoke out one after another.
Zhou Chen on the dragon chair listened to the advice of these officials, but his face did not change much.
After these officials finished speaking, Zhou Chen glanced at Baiguan and said, "As for the matter of Yanzhou, when the messenger wakes up, ask for the specific situation and then discuss it."
"However, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Personnel, all three of you must be prepared to dispatch troops for disaster relief."
"The Ministry of Household has to come up with a detailed disaster relief plan, how much silver tael is needed, and the disaster situation of each state capital is different, and how much disaster relief silver each needs to be detailed and specific."
"The Ministry of War is the most important thing. Since ancient times, military affairs have been the most important thing for the country. I don't want to see the tragedy of the four prefectures in the northwest repeat itself. We must make a detailed expedition plan."
"The Ministry of Officials must select capable and clean officials, and discuss disaster relief plans with the Ministry of Household Affairs."
"As for the other three departments to fully cooperate and assist, there must be no mistake."
Zhou Chen looked at the six ministers and said sternly.
No matter what happened to the incident in the four prefectures of the Northwest?Now that there is a mob rebellion in Yanzhou, it is impossible for Zhou Chen to remain indifferent.
Wait for the results of the four prefectures in the northwest first, and put aside the matter of Yanzhou.
In this case, Yanzhou will only become the next land of the four northwestern provinces.
As the Eight Sage King Zhou Xian said, if these mob rebellions are not quelled in time, the entire Yanzhou will be in danger.
This is not what Zhou Chen wants to see.
Therefore, Zhou Chen asked the Ministry of Household, Ministry of War, and Ministry of Personnel to make preparations in advance, and then decided on the next thing after learning the specific situation from the messenger.
After Fang Xuanling, the Minister of War and other five ministers heard Zhou Chen's words, they all bowed and said, "I will obey the order."
Obviously, they already understood what Zhou Chen meant.
Although Zhou Chen said that he would wait for the messenger to wake up and ask about the specific situation before negotiating.
But the current series of arrangements have already revealed the decision in his heart.
After Zhou Chen finished speaking to the six ministers, he looked at the Prime Minister Yuan Bo again; "Prime Minister, you and Cao Zhengchun will go to the Taishi Mansion on behalf of me and the imperial court later."
"It is said that Taishi died in Xi'an for the country, and the [-] gods and military guards were also wiped out."
"I will send someone to welcome the body of the Grand Master."
Zhou Chen said in a low tone.
Taishi Wen Zhong died in battle, and [-] gods and military guards were wiped out. For Da Zhou, it was not as simple as losing a court official and [-] soldiers and horses.
Its significance and political impact are immeasurable.
If it wasn't for Zhou Chen's golden finger, he could sign in famous officials and generals, then the death of Taishi Wen Zhong would really make Da Zhou's sky fall in half.
"Old minister obeys the order." Prime Minister Yuan Bo bowed expressionlessly.
"Then do this first, and retreat!"
With Yanzhou's [-]-mile rush, Zhou Chen was no longer in the mood to ask Baiguan about the news of the four northwestern palaces in this courtroom.
When the news of the factory guard came, everything would be known naturally.
……
With the end of the early dynasty, the death of Taishi Wen Zhong caused a complete uproar among the civil and military officials.
Before, because he was in the court, even if Baiguan was shocked, he would not dare to show it too much.
But now, after retreating from the court and walking out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, several hundred officials gathered to discuss this matter.
The news that Taishi Wen Zhongzhan died in the four northwestern provinces is so explosive, so explosive that Baiguan is still unbelievable.
Taishi Wen Zhong, the elder of the three dynasties, erected the Pillar of Optimus for half the sky.
Such a meritorious veteran actually died in battle.
You said the news was shocking or not.
After walking out of the palace, all the officials hurriedly left with solemn expressions.
Because they all know the significance of Tai Shi Wen Zhong to Da Zhou.
Now that Taishi Wen Zhong is dead, once the news spreads, there will definitely be some turbulence.
They all wanted to rush back immediately, take a good rest, and think about what kind of court situation they would face next.
There are also some officials who did not go home, but walked in the direction of the Taishi Mansion.
Taishi Wen Zhong, as a veteran of the three dynasties, had been in the court for many years, and now he died in battle. Some officials who usually come and go have to go to the Taishi mansion at this time to offer condolences.
This includes the mighty Marquis, the Minister of War and others.
Outside the palace gate, Prime Minister Yuan Bo and Cao Zhengchun also walked in the direction of the Taishi Mansion together.
As the supervisor of the East Factory, Cao Zhengchun, Zhou Chen's most trusted eunuch, represented Zhou Chen as the emperor without any problem going to the Taishi Mansion.
And the prime minister Yuan Bo is also the elder of the two dynasties. Now the only remaining minister in the court who is an important assistant to the state, and the prime minister who is the head of all officials, it is enough to replace the court and go to the Taishi's mansion to save face.
This is what Zhou Chen thought.
It should be fine if these two people take his place and go to the Grand Master's Mansion with Chaotang to deliver the news.
