Sign a Lu Fengxian at the beginning

Chapter 81 I agree with the words of the Eight Wise Kings

As the prime minister, Yuan Bo commanded the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty. At this time, he had to stand up and speak out.

He knew that it would be unreasonable if he, the prime minister of the auxiliary country, did not stand up for such a big matter.

In addition to Prime Minister Yuan Bo, the Eight Sages Wang Zhou Xian also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the Yanzhou mob has gathered hundreds of thousands of people to rebel and capture the three prefectures. If it cannot be calmed down in time, it may cause a catastrophe.

"

"And the local government sent an urgent letter eight hundred miles away. It is obvious that the local government's military equipment is no longer enough to suppress the mob, otherwise it would not ask for help from the court."

"Therefore, the imperial court should immediately mobilize the army to Yanzhou to quell the chaos to prevent the rebels from gaining power,"

The Eight Sages King Zhou Xian said solemnly.

"Your Majesty, I agree with the words of the Eight Wise Kings."

"There is a severe drought in Yanzhou now. If the rebels and thieves are allowed to continue, I am afraid that the entire Yanzhou will be in danger."

"The imperial court must immediately mobilize the army to suppress it."

"In addition, at the same time, comprehensive warehouses were opened for disaster relief in the four northern states, and ministers from the DPRK and China were dispatched to personally supervise."

Fang Xuanling also stood up and remonstrated.

In Fang Xuanling's view, the Yanzhou mob gathered hundreds of thousands of people to rebel because they just couldn't survive.

There was a severe drought in the four northern continents. Households were empty before, and the court failed to provide disaster relief. The people had no choice but to rise up.

If you can survive, who would engage in this kind of beheading business of robbing families and exterminating clans?

Therefore, if we do not provide relief to the people, we cannot suppress it with just the army.

Unless all the people in the four northern states are slaughtered.

Otherwise, if one group is suppressed, another group will rise up to rebel.

Just like that spark of fire, it cannot be extinguished unless the problem is fundamentally solved.

Regarding Fang Xuanling's advice, all the officials' eyes flickered.

If they remembered correctly, this was how the grand master reported to the court what had happened in the four northwest prefectures.

As a result, Grand Master Wen Zhong took 30,000 divine military guards to the four prefectures in the northwest, never to return.

Following Fang Xuanling's opening, officials from the Imperial Party such as Marquis Weiwu, Minister of War and others spoke out one after another.

Zhou Chen, who was sitting on the dragon throne, listened to the officials' advice, but his face didn't change much.

After these officials finished speaking, Zhou Chen glanced at Baiguandao, "As for the Yanzhou matter, wait until the messenger wakes up and ask about the specific situation before discussing it."

"However, the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Personnel, all three of you must be prepared to send troops for disaster relief."

"The Ministry of Household Affairs must come up with a detailed plan for disaster relief. How much money is needed? The disaster situation of each state is different. How much disaster relief money is needed for each state must be detailed and specific."

"The Ministry of War is the most important. Since ancient times, war has been an important matter for the country. I don't want to see the tragedy of the four northwest provinces repeated again. I must make a detailed plan for the expedition."

"And the Ministry of Personnel must select capable and honest officials to discuss disaster relief plans with the Ministry of Household Affairs."

"As for the other three departments' full cooperation and assistance, there must be no mistakes."

Zhou Chen looked at the six ministers and said sternly.

No matter what happened in the four northwest prefectures? Now there is a mob rebellion in Yanzhou, and Zhou Chen cannot remain indifferent.

Let's wait for the results of the four northwest prefectures first and put aside the affairs of Yanzhou.

In this case, Yanzhou will only become the next four prefectures in the northwest.

As the Eight Wise King Zhou Xian said, if these mob rebellions are not put down 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 Revenue, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Personnel to prepare in advance, and then decide what to do next after learning the specific situation from the messenger.

After hearing Zhou Chen's words, the five ministers including Fang Xuanling, Minister of War and the Ministry of War all bowed and said, "I 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 discussing.

But the current series of arrangements have revealed his inner decision.

After Zhou Chen finished speaking to the six ministers, he looked at Prime Minister Yuan Bo: "Prime Minister, later you and Cao Zhengchun will go to the Taishi Mansion on behalf of me and the court."

"Let's just say that the grand master died fighting for the country in Xi'an Mansion, and the 30,000 divine military guards were also wiped out."

"I will send someone to bring back the Grand Master's body."

Zhou Chen said in a low tone.

Grand Master Wen Zhong was killed in battle, and the entire army of 30,000 Shenwu guards were annihilated. For the Great Zhou Dynasty, this was by no means as simple as the loss of an important court official and 30,000 soldiers and horses.

Its significance and political impact are immeasurable.

If it weren't for Zhou Chen's golden finger, which allowed him to sign famous ministers and generals, then the death of Grand Master Wen Zhong would have really caused the collapse of half of the world in Zhou Dynasty.

"Old minister, I obey the order." Prime Minister Yuan Bo bowed and said expressionlessly.

"Then let's do this first and retreat from the court!"

With Yanzhou's eight-hundred-mile emergency, Zhou Chen was no longer in the mood to ask officials about the news about the four northwest prefectures in the court.

When the news comes from the factory guard, everything will become clear naturally.

…

As the morning dynasty came to an end, the death of Grand Master Wen Zhong completely caused an uproar among the civil and military officials.

Previously, because they were in the court, no matter how shocked the officials were, they did not dare to show it too much.

But now, after leaving the court and walking out of the Yangxin Hall, hundreds of officials gathered together to discuss this matter.

The news that Grand Master Wen Zhong died in battle in the Four Prefectures of the Northwest is so shocking that all the officials still find it hard to believe it.

Grand Master Wen Zhong, a veteran of the three dynasties, held up half of the sky in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Such a meritorious veteran died in battle.

Would you say this news is shocking or not?

After walking out of the palace, all the officials hurriedly left with serious expressions on their faces.

Because they all know the significance of Grand Master Wen Zhong to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Now that Grand Master Wen Zhong has died in battle, once the news spreads, there will definitely be some turmoil.

They all wanted to rush back immediately, take a good rest, and think about what kind of situation they would face next.

Some officials did not go home, but headed towards the Taishi Mansion.

Grand Master Wen Zhong was a veteran of the Three Dynasties and had been in the court for many years. Now he died in battle. Some officials who usually interacted with him had to go to the Grand Master's Mansion to express their condolences.

This includes people like Wei Wuhou, Minister of War and so on.

Outside the palace gate, Prime Minister Yuan Bo and Cao Zhengchun also walked towards the Taishi Mansion together.

As the governor of the East Factory and the most trusted eunuch around Zhou Chen, Cao Zhengchun had no problem going to the Taishi Mansion on behalf of the emperor Zhou Chen.

And Prime Minister Yuan Bo is also a veteran of the two dynasties. Now he is the only important minister left in the court to assist the country, and he is also the prime minister who is the head of the officials. It is enough to go to the Taishi Mansion in his place.

This is what Zhou Chen is thinking about.

With these two people taking his place and going to the Imperial Palace to deliver the news, it should be fine.
