It is reasonable for Chen Shengzhi to react so quickly.

Since Rong Jingxuan was able to defeat Guangqing, he regained Yongle.He can also go on to recover Luo Ping, Feng Yu, He Qingji and Chongbei.As long as they take Luo Ping down, Yong'an will be close at hand.

How could Chen Shengzhi not panic?

In the early days, above the main hall, Chen Shengzhi sat pale on the dragon chair.

This gold-plated dragon chair is inlaid with various jewels, it looks golden, but it is cold and uncomfortable to sit on.

No matter how uncomfortable it was, he still hadn't had enough of sitting, and he didn't want to give it back to Rong Jingxuan at all.

Chen Shengzhi's complexion was very bad. After receiving the battle report last night, he tossed and turned, and he didn't sleep all night.

"According to the views of all the lovers, how should this matter be?" He said in a deep voice.

The following ministers look at me and I look at you, and no one is willing to come out and answer.

Chen Shengzhi frowned, and impatiently waited for them to make eye contact there, so he directly called his name: "Sheng Aiqing?"

The commander-in-chief of Zhongshu Ling, Sheng Zhongxiao, who followed Chen Shengzhi all the way to the north, listened to the order and bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, according to what I see, the rebels are still weak and their foundation is not stable. Your Majesty should send troops immediately. Kill the thieves."

Chen Shengzhi has always been very convinced of him, and these words really came to his heart, so he couldn't help nodding: "What Ai Qing said is true, according to what you see, who should be the general?"

Sheng Zhongxiao was silent. He thought for a while, but he still didn't say anything.

If Sun Zhao is here, sending Sun Zhao is the most appropriate.

If he can defeat Guangqing once, he can defeat him a second time.

But Sun Zhao...

Sheng Zhongxiao knew Chen Shengzhi very well, so he didn't dare to say this.

After becoming emperor, those intricate political affairs almost killed Chen Shengzhi. Before he had time to enjoy the splendor of Changxin Palace, he was forced to revise the memorials day and night.

He was illiterate and couldn't understand those beautiful and upright pavilion styles, so he had to listen to Sheng Zhongxiao's advice and set up the Zhongshuling.

After Zhongshuling was established, he really felt much more relaxed, and the number of Zhongshuling changed from one to two, and finally set to five.

With five of them here, the decree can go smoothly.

Chen Shengzhi was very happy. According to his original plan, he put people who would not threaten his status into important positions, while those who had great reputation in the army were dispatched to various places and left the imperial capital of Yong'an.

Someone approved the memorial for him, someone helped him with state affairs, and he seemed to be able to enjoy himself comfortably.

However, the Minister of the Household Department soon told him: "Your Majesty, the treasury is empty, and there is no silver left."

Chen Shengzhi was a little silly.

In his mind, Da Chu had a foundation of more than 200 years. How could they have no money when they ruled this huge country for so long?

At that time, he was a little angry, thinking that the officials of the household department had embezzled money, so he ordered punishment.

When Sheng Zhongxiao heard about this, he hurried over and told him about Da Chu's final years.

He only said why Da Chu's treasury was empty, and nothing else.

Chen Shengzhi wouldn't believe it. He probably thought that he was able to become emperor because the people admired him, and he could only win if everyone stood by his side.

Actually not.

If it hadn't been for years of disaster relief and no increase in agricultural taxes, Da Chu would not have come to this point.

After hearing this, Chen Shengzhi also fell silent. The treasury has no money, so naturally he doesn't either.

Most of the gold, silver and jewels looted during the war were rewarded to encourage the soldiers. He thought that he could get everything by defeating Yong'an, so he didn't care about it at all.

Later, when the snow disaster happened in Fengning, when civil and military officials asked him how to deal with it and how much relief money he wanted to distribute, Chen Shengzhi could only say that Fengning would figure out a solution by himself.

What can Fengning do?Feng Ning naturally has no money.

Some ministers wanted to persuade him again, but they heard Chen Shengzhi's cold words: "They can't solve it by themselves, so they just go hungry."

He has never read a book, and he has never learned to speak politely.

This point seemed approachable when everyone was fighting with him, but it was not the case when he became the emperor.

It doesn't mean that if you can't read or write, you will be inferior to others, and you will always be able to wait for others.It's just that he is the emperor now, and all Jinshi in the whole country are his courtiers. Whoever he wants can teach him to read and write. If he is willing, it is not too difficult to learn.

It is not required that he be taught to grow up like Rong Jingxuan since he was a child.After all, it is good to be able to write your own name and understand memorials.

But he never saw illiteracy as a problem.

He was even complacent, and said something like "what's the use of reading so many books, you don't want to kneel in front of me".

If it weren't for this, not so many people have resigned.

Since we feel that it is useless for us to read so many books, then we are simply useless to the end.

Many of the rest who are still in court have actually been visited by Xie Huaixin.

He didn't mean anything else, he just wanted them to continue to support the court.

Because that's what His Majesty told you.

"The government is in turmoil, and it is the people who suffer, and even for the sake of the people, we have to wait for my return."

He said Rong Jingxuan's words as they were, which made many ministers cry.

Not afraid of not knowing the goods, but afraid of comparing goods.

This comparison is high.

So when they heard that Rong Jingxuan had set up a flag in Guangqing and returned to the country, half of the ministers were very happy.

It's just that this kind of happiness can't be shown, so I can only stand on the ground silently, listening to the current emperor lose his temper every day.

If they were asked how to deal with Rong Jingxuan, they would say in panic, "I don't know how to deal with it because I'm blunt" to perfunctory.

Therefore, the atmosphere of the government affairs on this day was quite dull.

Of course, apart from them, there were also those who were loyal to Chen Shengzhi who came forward to offer opinions, but most of the opinions that could be raised were rejected by Chen Shengzhi. In the end, he asked Sheng Zhongxiao: "Who fought in Guangqing back then? Who are we going to send now?"

Sheng Zhongxiao raised his head in astonishment, he didn't dare to face the Holy Majesty directly, but turned his head to look at the gilded Boshan furnace on the main hall.

"Back to Your Majesty, it's Sun Zhao."

Chen Shengzhi's hand paused, and he suddenly remembered that in yesterday's battle report, it was written that Sun Zhao had surrendered.

"Damn it!" Chen Shengzhi slapped Pie on the dragon chair and shouted.

The courtiers quickly knelt down and said in unison: "Your Majesty, calm down."

Chen Shengzhi was panting heavily.

Why have the loyal officials and generals who followed him all the way to fight the world changed?Some of them resigned, some became scholars, and even Sun Zhao, who actually surrendered to the enemy and treason?

"Sure enough, high position and power disturb people's hearts," Chen Shengzhi rarely said such an elegant sentence, and added at the end, "The common people in the countryside are the common people, and they can't get on the stage."

Sun Zhao, like him, came from a rough background, just like the common people he said.

The following ministers didn't know how to reply.

Is it what His Majesty said?Or should His Majesty not despise himself so much?

However, no matter which sentence they said was wrong, they could only bow their heads in silence, hoping that the morning morning would end soon.

Chen Shengzhi seemed a little tired, he looked at the group of courtiers expressionlessly, and finally said: "Okay, we're all gone, Sheng Aiqing stays here."

As soon as he said this, the chief eunuch standing behind him hurriedly chanted: "Retire."

The ministers had just stood up, and now they had to kneel down and kowtow to him three times: "Thank you Lord Long En."

Then he left silently.

Sheng Zhongxiao accompanied Chen Shengzhi to the upper study.

This is where Chen Shengzhi usually "corrects" the memorial, which means that the other four Zhongshu Ling are here at the moment.

Except for Sheng Zhongxiao, the chief commander of Zhongshuling who is ranked fourth rank and can go to court, the other Zhongshulings are only seventh rank, and have no weight to stand in the hall.

Today they saw that His Majesty came to the study for the first time, and without thinking about it, they knew that it was for the rebellion of Changle County.

Oh, it's called rebellion to them, but it's called regaining lost ground in Changle.

The four Zhongshu Ling hurriedly stood up to greet Chen Shengzhi, and then stood silently in the room with Sheng Zhongxiao.

Chen Shengzhi didn't talk nonsense, and asked: "How many soldiers does Luo Ping have? Who is stationed?"

Sheng Zhongxiao glanced down at the Zhongshuling beside him, and the Zhongshuling immediately said cleverly: "Return to Your Majesty, Luo Ping still has [-] troops, the general is Yan Wentao, and the left and right generals are Jiang Wei and Zhang Sheng."

Yan Wentao followed Chen Shengzhi all the way into Yong'an. He was a great general like Sun Zhao and Sun Zhao.

However, Chen Shengzhi let him stay safely in the newly established Shuntian camp to guard the imperial capital.

for what?Because he was illiterate and did not understand the art of war, he was very similar to Chen Shengzhi, so he stayed.

If Sun Zhao knew it was such a simple and incomprehensible reason, he would definitely laugh angrily.

When Chen Shengzhi heard that there were still [-] troops in the Shuntian camp in Luoping, and that there was also Yan Wentao, a general he admired, he immediately felt relieved.

"Decree, order Yan Wentao to lead [-] elite soldiers to go south to Guangqing to strangle the rebels." Chen Shengzhi quickly issued the military order.

Sheng Zhongxiao lowered his head and frowned slightly, but said: "Your Majesty, I dare you, there are ten thousand people in the Guangqing camp, plus the old soldiers of Da Chu and the soldiers and horses of the abolished emperor, there must be more than 3 people. Going to [-] people is probably not safe."

He is still a conservative estimate.

With Rong Jingxuan's ability, the conscription must have started in a few days, and the number cannot be said.

Chen Shengzhi was not a fool either, he was silent for a long time after hearing this.

"How many people are there in Lu Ming's camp?"

When he entered Yong'an back then, he claimed to have led an army of 20.But in fact, it's only about 15, including the miscellaneous soldiers.

Of the 15 people, [-] went to Guangqing, Lu Ming, and Jin Yi, [-] were stationed in Yong'an, and the remaining [-] were scattered in the [-] counties of Dachu.

The remaining 5 people are in Luoping.He had given up on the Bravery Camp a long time ago, and didn't even send soldiers.

Later, he transferred another 1 people from Guangqing and Lu Ming, all of whom were under the control of Luoping's Guangqing camp.

"Return to Your Majesty, there are only 1 people in Lu Ming's camp."

1 people means that there can be no less.

Chen Shengzhi was a little annoyed, he didn't know why there were so few soldiers available, and the 1 people in Guangqing had rebelled, which is really annoying.

"Is there time for another conscription?" He asked again.

Sheng Zhongxiao was a little helpless, but he still replied: "Your Majesty, the national treasury is not very optimistic. No matter how many soldiers there are, there will be no military pay... Besides, Luo Ping doesn't need to keep so many people, why not send [-]?"

Keeping 2 people is always enough, right?

Chen Shengzhi was a little unhappy when he choked on him, but it was the fact that it was the only way.

He had no choice but to wave his hand casually: "Okay, okay, you can make arrangements, tell Yan Wentao, to catch Rong Jingxuan."

Chen Shengzhi stood up, adjusted the gold inlaid jade belt on his waist, and walked out slowly.

"Tell him, you need to see people when you live, and you need to see corpses when you die. You can't let him escape this time."
