Dressed as the cannon fodder who died prematurely, I will marry the villain in anger

In the end, Song Mo's imperial edict to depose Lu Desheng was blocked by the four major ministers.

After Zhang Xian and Zuo Anmin learned the news, they also rushed to the palace immediately.

At this time, only the six princes of Song Mo and Mo were present in the entire palace, and even the chief eunuch personally went to guard the entrance of the palace.

"Your Majesty, this decree cannot be made." Prince Gong advised earnestly.

Xiao Qun also said, "Your Majesty, this imperial edict cannot be issued. Given the current situation in Pingzhou, this edict will anger Lu Desheng. Then he will give up his job and hand over Pingzhou to Xianbei. What will happen?"

"He dares?!" Song Mo stared.

What's there to be afraid of?The rabbit bites people when it is anxious.

Prime Minister Shen Wan and Shangshu Ling didn't say anything, but as they stood here, their attitudes were already obvious.

What the two of them didn't say was that this was a good idea. The emperor's behavior, combined with the current situation, might directly force people to rebel.

"You want me to endure this tone? Look what Lu Desheng has done? Xianbei robbed 120 million shi of tax revenue from his territory in Liaoxi County! There is a salt lake in Longcheng but he didn't report it and mined it privately!"

Prince Gong's heart ached when he thought of the robbed taxes and grains. These were the fruits of his argument with Lu Desheng a while ago.

The other three ministers who cared about life were also hesitant at this moment, wondering in their hearts, could this Lu Desheng really be disloyal?

At this time, Zhang Xian said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the angry minister said frankly that the responsibility for the tax and grain being robbed really does not lie with Master Lu. The Xianbei army that attacked Pingzhou was defended by Master Lu. This matter should be blamed on Deng Fangyi, the governor of Youzhou, if not If Songzhou is lost and Youbeiping County is penetrated, Pingzhou's taxes and grain will not be robbed." As for Salt Lake, I dare not mention it, and there is no way to argue with it.

Song Mo said angrily, "If he, Lu Desheng, had sent more troops to escort the team transporting tax grains, why would the tax grains have been robbed?"

Ministers: Then there must be troops to send!

The emperor's words are a bit unreasonable.Now Pingzhou is the two armies fighting against Xianbei. It is estimated that all the troops are on it, and soldiers will be dispatched to escort the grain transport team. Do you want to defend the city?

In short, Song Mo was determined to teach Lu Desheng a lesson.

In the end, Shen Wan, who was still the prime minister, could only take a step back and said, "Your Majesty, just cutting off support to Pingzhou is enough to punish Lu Desheng. Please suppress this decree first and wait and see how the situation develops."

In fact, Shen Wan did not agree with the emperor's decision to cut off Pingzhou's support, which might arouse public anger.

As long as they didn't make any announcement about the cutoff of support, Pingzhou would have no way of knowing. Even if they knew, they could argue that it was because the imperial court was in difficulty.Then there will be no resentment among the people.This comforted him in his heart.

Finally, Song Mo agreed.

But Shen Wan and the others didn't know that Zuo Yi had made a stupid trick to get the people of Pingzhou to pay taxes and grains again.Zuo Yi did not dare to write this matter in the book, but secretly sent a letter to his uncle, asking his uncle to test the emperor's tone and see if it was feasible.

When Zuo Anmin received the letter, he was almost mad at his nephew's strength. Now, it's time to go back to Chang'an to save your life. What else do you care about taxes and food!

He entered the palace this time. Firstly, he wanted to see the development of the situation. Secondly, he wanted to ask the emperor whether Xu Junfan and his nephew Zuo Yi could return to Chang'an?But the emperor was so angry that he did not dare to speak.

Pingzhou, Liaoxi County, Changli

Xu Junfan and Zuo Yi have not left the inn recently and have stepped up their defenses.

Since Pingzhou's tax and grain were robbed, the news came that the entire Pingzhou needs to pay tax and grain again.

The people in Liaoxi County looked at them very unkindly.

"Lu Wei must have spread the word!" Zuo Yi said bitterly.

Although he wanted Pingzhou to pay taxes and grain again, he had to ask the emperor for instructions and the emperor agreed.But now, it's clear that the news has leaked.

Xu Junfan didn't say anything. The people in Pingzhou were tough and didn't have much respect for the imperial power.The current situation is very unfavorable to them. If possible, he plans to return to Chang'an.

At this time, news spread that Pingzhou might need to pay another tax and grain tax.

The common people are full of dissatisfaction. The taxed grains this time were collected based on high yields. Now they have to collect them again?

They are fighting in Pingzhou!It was obvious that their Pingzhou was about to be surrounded, and food became a vital material to ensure survival.

At this time, the imperial court not only exempted them from taxes, but also forcibly confiscated their food?

At this moment, another news came that the imperial court had directly cut off the support prepared to give them Pingzhou.

"is this real?"

"Yes, we have received the exact news. Mr. Lu requested the imperial court to support some weapons, but was rejected."

The common people lost their voice.

It is true that weapons are very sensitive when put aside, but what time is it now?If they are still reluctant to part with weapons, should they be allowed to fight the Xianbei people with bare hands?

For a time, the people were filled with indignation.

"How can the imperial court do this?"

"Everyone doesn't know that our emperor has provided food and supplies for the soldiers and generals in the Northern Territory and Bingzhou, and has also collected support for Youzhou, but he has arbitrarily decided to support our Pingzhou!"

"This is really unreasonable! The imperial courts in Beijing, Bingzhou, and Youzhou have all given support, so why are we in Pingzhou alone left out? Are we, Dapingzhou, not the people of Dali?"

"Why are you so harsh on us?"

Since ancient times, we have always worried not about scarcity but about inequality.

This news, coupled with rumors of another forced taxation of grain, further aroused public outrage.

"We work hard day and night and pay taxes every year, and this is what we get?"

"That's right, this court sucks. Even if it can't protect us from wind and rain, it will make it worse for us!"

"Hey, what do we think? There is no one to suppress the Duke Qin's family. They have guarded the border for generations. What happened in the end? Because the prince had an accident when he went north to work in the army and died in the north. The whole family, old and young, all He was exiled to our Pingzhou."

"Weren't there rumors that the Qin family was collaborating with the enemy?"

"Do you believe this? Anyone can collaborate with the enemy, even the Song royal family, but not the Qin family!"

"why?"

"Think about it. The Qin family has been guarding Beijing for generations. How many sons have died at the hands of foreigners, and how many foreigners have died at the hands of the Qin family. It can be said that the Qin family and the foreigners have a sworn feud. In this way How could the Qin family collaborate with the enemy under such circumstances?"

Right and wrong are in the heart of the people, and the common people have their own scale in their hearts.

"But the prince died in the north after all."

"Yes, so General Qin Yue died to apologize. Before he died, he also severely injured the Qiang and Hu tribe. Isn't that enough? But it was useless. The whole Qin family was still exiled."

"So, the Song Imperial Court treats general families like the Qin family like this, let alone common people like us."

"This world is really bad."

"Look, it's only been two or three years. Without the Qin family, the northern border has been lost."

"Do you know why we in Pingzhou have been able to hold on for so long?"

At this time, all the people in Pingzhou knew that four areas were attacked by Xianbei, and the other three areas were destroyed. Only Pingzhou was still holding on.

"Perhaps the city gate and wall we rebuilt are strong enough?"

"Our soldiers are also very brave."

"These are all important reasons why we can defend the city, but there is another thing that everyone doesn't know."

"what?"

"I heard that the generals assisting in defending the city are the sons of Zhenbei Hou Qin Yue."

"Is it the Qin family who was exiled to Pingzhou?"

"Yes, when I was in the north, everyone was a junior general."

"No wonder our Pingzhou can hold on for so long without being breached. It turns out that the Qin family's young generals who have experienced hundreds of battles are defending the city." You must know that Jinyang in the north was the first one to be breached.

What's up with being a little proud?

"Don't you know, General Qin Yue's youngest son Qin Sheng is our Lord Lu's son-in-law."

"Ah, is that so?"

"Yes."
