Chapter 130: The country is shaken
The idea that emerged from Qin Shaoyou was not too much.
After all, he is just a militia leader. The militia company is not qualified to be an auxiliary soldier, and there are only a few 200 people. If you don’t run away, are you still seeking death?
Qin Shaoyou really planned to run away.
He doesn't owe anyone any of them, such as being loyal to the emperor and patriotism, that's fart. Being loyal to the emperor and patriotism, why do you get to this point, why spend money to support soldiers, and why don't you have any of them when you go to Beimang Mountain to make merits.
So he directly ordered to pack his bags and prepare to run away.
………………………………………
In Luoyang City, when news of Yang Shaofu's rebellion came, it immediately began to shake.
The city was in an uproar.
No one expected that this Jinzhou Zhechong Commander would also rebel. You should know that this guy has been flattering the Wu family in recent years. Every year, he has bribed him by car to the Wu family members. He is extremely respectful to Wu Zetian and even reported many "rebel officials".
It is also because of this that Yang Shaofu, the commander of Jinzhou who was the barrier of Hebei, was there. After the Shandong rebellion, the court did not strengthen Hebei's defense, but instead focused all its focus on Beimang Mountain.
But now, Yang Shaofu has rebelled.
In Xuanzheng Hall, a group of ministers were looking at each other.
Things were too big and too sudden, leaving them with no time to react.
not to mention……
For many people, Yang Shaofu's rebellion was a continuation of the King of Langya Li Chong, which means that this was a rebellion of the royal family, and the clan of the Li family had enough appeal within the court. The Wu family had been in the world, and among the people here, how many of them were sincere in their loyalty to the Wu family.
To put it bluntly, the Wu family is still rich and noble, while the Li family is still kings and princes.
So they may not have the intention to suppress the rebellion, and some people are even secretly happy.
Therefore, no one made any comments in the Xuanzheng Hall, and now he made any suggestions to suppress the rebellion. Once the rebels enter the city, King Li Chong of Langya will sit in the world. This is equivalent to cutting off all his retreat, and by the time the counterattack is over, he will be completely finished.
And this silence is what really scares people.
Wu Zetian's eyes were deep, and she only asked one question. The ministers thought that what they were, so they didn't ask again.
Because she couldn't get the answer, she was just a woman after all, and her surname was Wu.
This is the answer everyone gave her. This answer clearly shows one thing, that is, no one believes in how long her country will last, and the world will be named Li after all. It is precisely because of this thought that she will never get any loyal ministers who have crawled at her feet.
Wu Zetian just smiled coldly, and she looked at the people who tried to dodge her eyes as much as possible. It was almost certain that whether it was the surname Cui or Wang, they would undoubtedly be the gods who fell to Li Chong's feet and surrendered.
She then grew up and said lightly: "Wu Chengsi."
Wu Chengsi was shocked and came out: "I'm here."
"What do you think?"
Wu Chengsi was stunned. He was actually already panicked. Because before entering the palace, there were already many rumors in the capital. Most of these rumors were biased towards the Li family, with internal and external troubles. At this moment, what could he do to break out?
Some people are born to enjoy wealth, but they will never take any responsibility.
Wu Chengsi is such a person, so he held it in for a long time before he said something: "My stupid opinion should be transferred to the imperial guards in Beimang Mountain to defend Luoyang."
Wu Zetian finally smiled. She shook her sleeves and left, leaving behind a group of silent and some ignorant ministers.
Silent people, they have a way, but they want both snakes and rats.
And the ignorant person could not see clearly where the real enemy of the Great Zhou Dynasty was, and could actually say such childish words.
How can Wu Zetian not laugh in this sect?
She had left Xuanzheng Hall, passed the corridor, and arrived at the Ziwei Palace of the bedroom.
Wu Zetian opened the window.
She still enjoyed the feeling of staring out the window alone, but when the spring was bright, what she enjoyed was the blooming peonies outside the window and the faint fragrance of grass.
But now, there is only the bleak autumn wind and the withered yellow ground left outside the window.
Those who shouted long live, now have become scheming, and those compliments in the past have only eternal silence.
The scenery outside the window is still the same, just like the last autumn day, and the bleak autumn wind is now like this, but it has changed the world.
Her eyes were faint, she pursed her red lips, and finally she smiled faintly.
Wu Zetian said slowly: "Wan'er."
"I am here." Shangguan Wan'er was as reserved as ever.
Wu Zetian said slowly: "Is what Secretary Wu said feasible?"
Shangguan Wan'er said, "I think it's not possible."
Wu Zetian said: "Why?"
Shangguan Wan'er looked at Wu Zetian carefully and said, "The enemy of the Great Zhou is not Yang Shaofu or Li Chong. The enemy of the Great Zhou is inside Luoyang. It is because Li Chong and Yang Shaofu saw through this that they took dangerous moves. Their purpose is to lure out the real enemy of the Great Zhou. By then, it will be the day when they succeed."
She took a deep breath and continued: "Your Majesty's real hidden danger lies in the hearts of the people. Now the rebels are about to enter Kanto. Who is more reliable in this world? Yang Shaofu's troops are only 10,000, while there are 30,000 imperial guards in the city, but are these 30,000 reliable? Since the imperial guards in the Shendu are unreliable, is it reliable even if they mobilize the imperial guards in Beimangshan? What if these people follow the thief?"
The truth of everything can finally be explained. The rebels are not scary. What is scary is that these people within the Zhou army. How many of them are reliable?
What's the use of them leaving the city or transferring it from Beimang Mountain? In their eyes, the Li family is orthodox. As long as one of them turns against each other, a chain reaction will occur, and finally destroy everything Wu Zetian will be ruined.
Besides... When we heard the news, only God knew that there were so many people in the city who were ready to move. Men were always unwilling to be controlled by women, even though this noble woman is much better than most people now.
This is the problem and the key to shaking the foundation of the country.
Wu Zetian smiled faintly, couldn't help but look back at Shangguan Wan'er, and said, "How many men in the Great Zhou Dynasty look like Wan'er? Since you think what Mr. Wu said is not feasible, then let's talk about what to do now?"
"Stay on the side and wait for change!" Shangguan Wan'er smiled bitterly and said, "You can only defend. No soldier or soldier in Luoyang City can be sent out to prevent changes. The Beim Mountain and Hulao army cannot be easily allocated. The more it is mobilized, the more people think that the worsening situation will only make people feel strange. Your Majesty, this battle is not a battle of swords and weapons, but the battle is the heart. Whoever is more secure and whose heart is stronger is the winner."
"The vast majority of civil and military officials, and even the imperial guards, are actually waiting and watching. Your Majesty is more stable. The more they are not anxious or impatient, the more loyal they are to Your Majesty. But the more panicked your Majesty is, and the more they are dispatched to help the Shendu, countless rumors will be rampant."
"You mean, I'm just waiting?"
"The Holy Emperor, General Li Duozuo of the Right Yulin Army, has been in charge of the imperial guards for many years and has always been admired by the people in the army. His son Li Chengxun has become an adult. Why would the Holy Emperor marry Princess Taiping to Li Chengxun at this time? In this way, it can be safe."
Wu Zetian said first: "This is a good way."
Li Duozuo has a high prestige in the army and has made many contributions. The most important thing is that he has been in charge of the imperial guards for many years, and most of the imperial guards were his confidants. Now Shangguan Wan'er proposed to win over Li Duozuo, which is indeed the best way.
only……
Wu Zetian smiled slightly and said, "But if I marry Taiping to his son, I may not be able to gain his loyalty."
"saint……"
Wu Zetian walked a few steps and continued slowly, "I can marry a princess, but is it rare that Li Chong can't do it? How many princesses have married over the years? But during the national crisis, how many people are reliable? Although you have seen some things clearly, some things still haven't seen them clearly. If you want to gain loyalty, you cannot maintain them."
"I am stupid."
"I will leave the palace and move to the south yamen."
Nanya is the place where the imperial guards are, but Shangguan Wan'er's face has changed.
She hurriedly said, "At this time, there may not be no one among the imperial guards who are interested in the rebels. The Holy Emperor is likely to be in trouble with swords and weapons. Please think twice. Besides, Li Duozuo may not be loyal. If he imitated Yang Shaofu and did such an illegitimate thing, wouldn't the Holy Emperor fall into the hands of the thief?"
Wu Zetian said coldly: "I will say it again and move to the south yamen!"
Shangguan Wan'er had no choice but to say: "I... obey the order!"
The palace began to jump up. Half an hour later, the imperial carriage began to set off, leaving Zetianmen and heading towards the southern yamen.
Along the way, Wu Zetian suddenly remembered something.
"Where has Taiping gone?"
Shangguan Wan'er was attending the imperial carriage. Suddenly remembered something and said in a panic: "Your Majesty, it is said that she is in Mengxi's farm."
A hint of coldness and anxiety flashed through Wu Zetian's eyes: "Have you returned to Beijing?"
"I don't know, I remember that Qin Shaoyou is the captain of the Mengjin Tuanjie Camp, and he... is also in Mengjin..."
The rebels went south and Meng Jin was the first to be hit. It was no wonder that Shangguan Wan'er's face was bad.
At this time, I’m afraid the rebels have already started crossing the river. Can they be spared, whether it is Li Lingyue or Qin Shaoyou?
"His Majesty……"
Wu Zetian waved his hand: "Don't say anything more, let's go to Nanya first. In addition, he chose to choose the one hundred most loyal flying cavalry to go to Mengxi to pick up the princess back to Beijing at a speed. As for Qin Shaoyou... I'll send him a letter and tell him that if he wants to come back, he will return to Beijing immediately. I... will not be punished!"
