Chapter 124: I can do it too

Within a month, the Jinzhou rebels took five cities in a row, and the world was shaken.

There even appeared a situation where the main official of the city proactively opened the door to welcome the thieves, which made the colleagues in the world's scholar-officialdom curse. With a lifetime of cursing skills, they sprayed those officials who proactively surrendered. The cursing was so ugly that even the basic decency of a reader was not wanted.

Cursing is secondary, expressing a stance and severing ties with the surrender faction is the truth.

The Jinzhou rebels are imposing like a rainbow, breaking through like bamboo, the imperial court seems to have no one to block, no general to guard, the impact caused by this matter, especially the psychological impact on the world, is immeasurable.

Oh!

It turns out that the seemingly huge Great Gan Dynasty is so weak. The seemingly indestructible world, the Jinzhou rebels tried it slightly, and the defense system cast by the imperial court with heavy money collapsed.

The Great Gan's army is rotten, does it mean the opportunity has come.

The world has never lacked ambitious people, because of the inherent impression, the strength of Great Gan is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the old Emperor's means of playing with power are chilling, ambitious people all behave extremely obediently, the imperial court wants whatever it wants, and they don't have half a thought of resistance.

Now, the Jinzhou rebels have made such a fuss, all kinds of ambitious people are moving, and they have produced the same thought in unison: I can do it too!

Taking advantage of the imperial court's inability to take care of it, it looks like it's time to recruit troops and buy horses, and prepare early.

According to reliable news, the old Emperor only has the strength of the fourth rank, and his lifespan is limited. Moreover, the old Emperor is increasingly suspicious of the Crown Prince. The Emperor and the Crown Prince are not in harmony, the Emperor and the ministers are not in harmony, the Emperor trusts the treacherous minister Jiang Tu, is obsessed with Taoism and seeking longevity, spends huge wealth, and makes the world's people complain.

Heavenly time!

This is the heavenly time!

As for the geographical advantage and the hearts of the people, they are all possessed.

The more the ambitious people think, the more excited they become, this world seems to be within reach, just waiting for the time to come, waving their arms and shouting, there must be followers.

This pot of water in Great Gan is about to boil.

The Great Master of the Marquis mansion, dragging his crippled leg, came to the Imperial Palace, waiting outside the Taiji Palace, waiting for the summons.

The rotten things in the mansion haven't been cleaned up yet, that's what the second room should worry about, the first room just needs to add a fire from time to time.

After several years, the Great Master received the Emperor's summons again, which really surprised him. Thinking about it deeply, it was also reasonable.

He still remembers the last time he came to the Grand Void Palace; his leg was not yet lame, and he was still a First-Rank Marquis holding heavy troops and real power. At that time, the Hou Fu was truly flourishing like flowers and oil-fried flames. With his leg becoming lame, his resignation from office, and his laying down of armor, the once-bustling Hou Fu began to gradually become desolate.

Once he was very decadent.

Later, he thought it through.

Watching the old Emperor obsessed with Taoism and seeking longevity, frequently executing opposing officials, depriving officials of their official positions and sending them to the Imperial Prison, he was glad that he could withdraw from the imperial court early, preserve the Marquis mansion, and not suffer the old Emperor's harshness.

As for the dispute with Jiang Tu, that is a dispute of interests, and even more a dispute of stance. The Marquis mansion must enter the game and fight with all its strength. The Marquis mansion started with military merit, its foundation is in the nobles and military generals, even if he withdrew from the imperial court, he must not retreat and be a coward in the face of the treacherous minister who is shouted at by everyone. Once he admits to being a coward, the Marquis mansion's basic plate will collapse.

Fortunately, the Marquis mansion won by half a move.

Didn't wait long, Qiu Defu, Qiu Eunuch, Qiu Grand Manager, personally invited the Great Master into the Taiji Palace.

The Great Master was slightly polite, "How dare to trouble Qiu Eunuch."

"Marquis, you are killing this old servant. The Emperor is waiting inside, Marquis, please come in."

Qiu Defu rarely showed an extremely polite and kind attitude, personally inviting the Great Master into the Taiji Palace.

Inside the Taiji Palace, there was a strong smell of incense candles.

The Eldest Master had a blank expression, ignoring the pungent smell as much as possible, dragging his crippled leg forward step by step until he reached the center of the main hall, bowing deeply, "This humble official pays respects to Your Majesty, may Your Majesty be blessed with ten thousand fortunes!"

"Flat body!"

Taixing Emperor looked a bit tired, his thin cheeks looked dark.

"Over the years, I have neglected you, do you have any resentment in your heart?"

Taixing Emperor got straight to the point, and as soon as he opened his mouth, it was a life-sending question.

The Great Master bowed slightly, his attitude neither humble nor arrogant, "Thunder and rain are all imperial grace. Another point, I have a disability, and I am no longer suitable to continue to contribute to the imperial court and share worries for the Emperor."

"No, no! The old horse in the stable, the ambition is in the thousand miles. I understand you, and I have never had any doubts about your ability. Now that the Jinzhou rebels are making more and more noise, in your opinion, what should be done."

The old Emperor was finally anxious.

Whether Jinzhou is chaotic or not actually doesn't affect the overall situation. The most worrying thing is that the hearts of the people are scattered, and the team is not easy to lead.

The old Emperor has been on the throne for more than forty years. The process of inheriting the throne back then was also full of conspiracies and tricks. The process of taking the throne was neither easy nor very bright, and even full of coincidences and God's will. This is a folk saying.

He knows too well what the consequences will be once the hearts of the people are scattered.

The best solution is to use thunderous momentum to quell the Jinzhou rebels. Whether by recruitment or extermination, in short, there must be a result before the end of the year. It can be imperfect, it can be full of blood and compromise, but there must be a result—a result that can be shown to the people of the world, a result that can fool the hearts of the people, and a result that can save the face of the imperial court.

To achieve this goal, one cannot count on the group of young generals in the imperial court who haven't grown their hair. One still has to count on old generals, preferably old generals with extremely high prestige in the army.

After thinking about it, the old Emperor picked the Great Master of the Marquis mansion from the few candidates.

Leg crippled, not afraid of him having rebellious intentions. Since ancient times, people who fight for the world have never been incomplete people. In the simple concept, fighting for the world, not to mention how the appearance is, at least the five senses are correct, the limbs are sound, and the body is healthy. Only by having a healthy body can there be a future, and the civil and military officials under his hands will be willing to follow willingly and hope for a long-term wealth.

Sick, still want to fight for the world. I'm afraid that before a corner of the world is fought down, the person will die.

Ask, which subordinate can rest assured to do real things by following a short-lived boss? I'm afraid they are all busy speculating and looking for the next family.

The Great Master of the Marquis mansion looked like water, and he bowed and said: "I think the imperial court should send an old and steady minister to Jinzhou to preside over the overall situation."

"You and I thought of the same place." Taixing Emperor laughed, very satisfied, and asked again: "Then you say, who should be sent to be suitable?"

The Great Master of the Marquis mansion deliberated for a moment, although he had candidates in his heart long ago, in front of the old Emperor, he had to make a look of serious thinking. He didn't dare to let the old Emperor wait too long, opened his mouth and said slowly: "I think, the Minister of War can be sent to Jinzhou to preside over the overall situation."

The old Emperor's face sank, clearly dissatisfied with this answer.

He shook his head, "The Minister of War has other errands, he is not suitable. Besides him, are there other candidates? You don't have to have any concerns, just say any thoughts you have. I guarantee that I will not be punished for words." ===== CHAPTER 125 =====
