Cowardly Stepmother Dressed As the Hero

The current situation is not entirely bad news for Qi You.

At least when he received an imperial decree in Feng Rong asking him to lead his troops to Minzhou to quell the rebellion, Qi You knew that his affairs with Zuo Yi should be suppressed.

Before he received news from Qi San, he knew that Mo Lin had encountered an unidentified team disguised as an ordinary merchant in the north of Changling.

Combined with the actions of Li Jushi in Cannes, Qi You had already determined that the group of people was Li Jushi's subordinates.

Li Ju Shi was sent by the emperor to be stationed in Liaozhou specifically to keep an eye on Qi You.

He has been planning for so long, and it is not uncommon to find out that Qi You and Zuo Yi outside the Great Wall are dealing with money and goods.

Therefore, after knowing what happened on Mo Lin's side, Qi You brought up the aftermath plan he had planned before.

But his people have not yet had time to act, and droughts have broken out in various places.

The rebels were in chaos everywhere, and even if the emperor received the news from Li Jushi, he had no time to pursue these trivial matters.

Now that the situation in Minzhou is deadlocked, he needs a sharp blade to break the game quickly.

Qi You read the imperial decree back and forth three or four times, then put it aside and asked, "Lei Li, what do you think?"

"Your Highness must not leave Feng Rong now!" Lei Li, who had been holding back for a long time, finally waited for Qi You's inquiry, and he answered loudly with a blushing face, "I don't understand, it's not that Minzhou has let the recent Has the army provided support in the past?

"So what do those troops do? Even the mere rebels can't handle it, and I want you to come out?"

"It's really hard for the troops stationed in those places to see blood, but..." Qi You knocked on the table, "If the situation is deadlocked now, it may happen to mean--

"The power of the rebels should not be underestimated."

"Hey, no matter how 'not to be underestimated', how can you be stronger? Can you be stronger than the strong Rong people?" Lei Li said disdainfully, "In short, your lord, you know the current situation, the fifth prince of the Rong clan. It is possible to attack Feng Rong at any time, you must not leave at this time!"

At the beginning of spring this year, the fifth prince had already led the assembled Rong army to the south.

Today, his people are stationed in the Fengxi grassland north of Fengrong, facing off against Qi You's people.

Zuo Yi, who set out with the Fifth Prince, was stationed on the side of Anti-Rong City according to the agreement with Qi You before.

This is because the defense around Anti-Rong City is relatively weak. If the fifth prince led people there, Qi You might not be sure to hold it.

According to his arrangement, Zuo Yi took the place first, which ensured that the fifth prince would not turn his attention to the anti-Rong side for the time being.

As for Qi You, he could successfully assemble most of the elite soldiers to snipe him in Feng Rong.

These days, the two sides have come and gone, and have tried to confront each other several times.

In the most thrilling one, a small cavalry of the Rong tribe directly bypassed Feng Rong and rushed south, but was narrowly intercepted by Qi You's people on the way.

At this point, a full-scale war has come to the fore.

At such a critical juncture, Qi You certainly couldn't leave Feng Rong.

But as soon as Lei Li's words came out, Qi You hadn't responded yet, and his adjutant couldn't help it.

The adjutant pulled Lei Li carefully and reminded in a low voice, "General Shen Yan... If the lord doesn't go, it will be a big crime to resist the decree."

When Lei Li heard the words, his body suddenly froze.

His eyes were fixed on the imperial decree beside Qi You.

If Qi You stayed now, and it was himself who resisted the decree, then Lei Li would not hesitate at all.

But the adjutant's words reminded him that if Qi You stayed in Feng Rong, it would be King Bei'an himself who would be accused.

Clenching his fists, Lei Li gritted his teeth and changed his words: "My lord... it's the subordinate who made a blunder... The imperial decree has been issued, you... you..."

Halfway through his words, he could no longer speak.

With such a straight personality, he really can't go against his own heart and say the words to let Qi You leave.

Qi You didn't seem to realize the seriousness of the problem.

He thought for a while, and said, "Since the imperial court has ordered it, it is really difficult for this king to sit back and ignore it in Minzhou.

"But now that the Rong tribe's southern invasion is imminent, it is impossible for this king to hand over the three cities that he just recovered."

Hearing this, Lei Li raised his head happily.

Qi You continued: "This king intends to first let someone enter Minzhou to investigate the situation there.

"If the rebels can't be contained, then let Chen He lead troops to support them. When Feng Rong's predicament is resolved, this king will go to Minzhou.

"I believe that the capital city knows the situation of this king and will not be too embarrassed."

Lei nodded sharply: "Yes, yes! Let Chen He go!

"He must be bored in Changling!"

"Well." After thinking about the next arrangement, Qi You picked up the pen and prepared to write a letter to Chen He.

Before the pen fell, he said again: "But... the matter on Feng Rong's side, it is best to resolve it as soon as possible.

"There are people like the fifth prince who are staring at the north, and no matter what this king does, he can't use his fists."

"Yes!" Lei Li cupped his hands, "Your Highness, rest assured, the current situation has been going according to your plan.

"Now, when Zuo Yi is ready and finds an opportunity to launch a general attack, we can directly slay the fifth prince's fellow under the horse!"

Qi You nodded: "Okay."

——

Soon, King Bei'an explained the situation and the battle report from Minzhou was sent to the capital.

The emperor, who had just recovered from a serious illness, was so angry that he scolded Zaochao on the spot.

"He! What kind of thing is he, he dares to resist the decree and disrespect!" Just because the fat emperor threw a memorial, he was tired and panting, "Also, do you want me to understand his difficulties?

"Heh, the three cities outside the Great Wall have called him down, how is it possible that the Rong tribe dares to invade south!

"Bullying you! This is bullying!"

Qi Yi heard the cold sweat dripping from below.

Qi You's memorial has long passed with them, and Qi Yi knew the contents of the memorial.

But what he never expected was that the emperor would have such a big temper on the spot if he didn't believe the situation in the memorial.

But he just "officially speaks lightly", and he has no right to speak out at this time.

"Your Majesty, rest your anger!" The prime minister, who had a grudge with Qi You, stood up: "The King of Bei'an resisted the decree not once or twice!

"Previously, the Superintendent Li found out that the King of Bei'an and the Rong family had long been in contact, and it was not as incompatible as the ministers imagined.

"If you want to come here this time, the lord has been prepared for the disrespect under the guise of the name of the Rong family!

"The ministers affirmed the emperor, and decreed that he should be brought to the capital to be punished!"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone who was inclined towards Qi You retorted: "The Prime Minister's statement is not good! I am in the capital, and I don't know what the situation in Liaozhou is. How do you judge that what the King of Bei'an said in the memorial is false?

"The Rong people are more powerful and cruel than the rebels. Now the King of Bei'an is risking his life to fight the Rong in the north of Liaozhou, and he has such a vicious speculation out of thin air..."

He kowtowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, please don't chill our hearts as servants!"

Soon, the court was divided into two factions, and there was a heated debate about "whether King Bei'an should be convicted".

Qi Yi also seized the opportunity and took the opportunity to mix up the water a little, trying to prevent the pot of dirty water from splashing on his master.

"Okay! Shut up!" The emperor shouted angrily: "You can't explain the situation in Liaozhou, one by one, and said that he would be arrested and charged, but I ask you, who can go to Liaozhou to find out the truth now? Who can go to Liaozhou to get him back? Huh?"

Long Yan was furious, and the entire court fell silent for a while, and no one dared to breathe loudly.

The emperor quickly made a fuss, and said with his remaining reason: "Now, the most important thing is not to investigate the matter of King Bei'an, didn't he recommend Chen He?

"Quick, plan to have Chen He lead the troops to support Minzhou."

The little **** beside the emperor hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes."

After the matter in Minzhou was settled, the emperor raised his head again and said, "But now, not only are there rebels in Minzhou... I don't want to mention that, even in Jinzhou, there are people who are rioting one after another. go down!

"My heart is uneasy for a moment, I am afraid that the previous Meng Pu Rebellion will repeat itself again!"

When all the ministers heard the words, they bowed in unison and said, "Please protect the body of the dragon."

"Take care and take care, huh!" The emperor slumped back on the dragon chair and muttered, "No, if the matter in Jinzhou is not resolved for one day, I will not be able to sleep for a day."

With that said, he tried to stand up and asked the ministers, "What can you do to solve the siege of Jinzhou?"

This matter somewhat involved Qi Yi's responsibility.

So he seized the opportunity and proposed: "Sacred Shang Rongxing!

"Actually, most of the rebels are peasants who can't survive, and they make trouble just to survive.

"As long as the emperor gives an order to open warehouses across the country, to provide relief to the affected people, so that they can get enough food. Then severely punish the landlords who annexed the land and oblige them to return the land to the people.

"The people have land to grow and food to live on, so naturally they will not choose the dead end of chaos!"

The method he proposed was actually a way to compromise with the people.

Not to mention the difficulties in implementing this policy, this method alone is indeed a way out.

If the emperor had the courage to push through this policy at this time, the Sheng Dynasty would still be able to survive for a few years.

However, the previous Meng Pu Rebellion had left too much shadow on him, and the emperor didn't want to "lower his body" at all to please these "ugly-faced" subjects.

Therefore, as soon as Qi Yi proposed this method, before the officials who had invaded a lot of fields in their families spoke, the emperor waved his hand and refused: "Absurd! They dare to make trouble, but instead I give them food?

"Isn't this helping them break the law?"

Qi Yi's body trembled, and he quickly stood back, daring not to come forward.

The hall was quiet for a moment, and another person came out from the crowd: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen has a plan."

Qi Yi looked carefully at the speaker, and found that the speaker was a military officer who was not familiar with himself and rarely stood in line in the courtroom.

He said: "The king of Yao An Zhuyan has been guarding Yao An in the southwest for generations, with strong military force and loyalty.

"There is no disaster in the southwest now, and there are wars against the Central Plains everywhere. Why didn't the emperor invite him to the capital to preside over the overall situation?

"One, King Yao An can help pacify the Jinzhou rebels, and two, with King Yao An in command of the central government, the rebellions in various places will soon end."

"King Yao An..." The emperor muttered the name.

Yao Anhou, surnamed Zhu, is one of the few remaining kings with different surnames in the Sheng Dynasty.

Previously, the Zhu family had been stationed in the southwest of Shengchao to fight against the Yi people in the southwest.

The emperor was noncommittal, and asked, "What about the others? Are there other proposals?"

Above the hall, there was silence.

The emperor frowned and stomped in front of the dragon chair for a long time. Seeing that there was really no good way, he nodded and said, "Okay! It is proposed that King Xuan Yao An Zhuyan will enter the capital!"
