Chapter 836: Civil Unrest 4
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong?"
Just as Emperor Dajing was anxiously waiting for the arrival of his ministers, Miss Feng, who had received the news, came to the imperial study.
"My dear! Something happened! Something terrible happened!"
"Those peasants, the untouchables, are rebelling!"
Emperor Dajing said angrily!
"What!? Rebellion!?"
"Your Majesty, no?"
"They...are they that brave?"
Miss Feng acted as if she was extremely shocked!
"Alas! I can't believe it!"
"But the incident has already happened. I...I have no choice but to believe it!"
Emperor Dajing sighed helplessly!
Miss Feng pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. The people's rebellion can definitely be suppressed~"
"What's more, those people rebelled, not because of you, but because of Cai Jing!"
"It was he who advocated conscription, and then he advocated the use of force to suppress the people!"
"Now that something has happened, it's not your fault!"
"Cai Jing!?"
When Emperor Dajing heard Cai Jing's name, his eyes were suddenly shocked!
Yup!
All this was caused by Cai Jing!
If the public anger cannot be suppressed, he can push Cai Jing out!
"My dear! You are so right!"
"It's all Cai Jing's fault!"
Emperor Dajing looked at Miss Feng with approval, then rushed out excitedly.
However, Miss Feng smiled triumphantly as she watched Emperor Dajing leave.
If Cai Jing wants to deal with her, he must be prepared to pay the price!
This time, Cai Jing will be in trouble!
On the other side, Emperor Dajing came to the hall.
When Emperor Dajing arrived, all civil and military officials had already arrived.
Among them was Jiang Chen.
Now that Jiang Chen’s pretense of illness is over, he resumes attending court!
……
"Greetings to Your Majesty!"
When the civil and military officials saw Emperor Dajing, they saluted respectfully!
"My dear ministers, there is no need to be so polite!"
"I have suddenly convened a court meeting today because I have an important matter to discuss with you all!"
"Just now, I received news that due to the conscription, rebellions broke out in Jiangnan, Guanzhong, and other places!"
"Do you have any solution for this matter, my dear ministers?!"
"What!? Rebellion!?"
When the civil and military officials heard what Emperor Dajing said, they were all stunned!
Why did a rebellion suddenly break out out of nowhere?!
"There are so many rebellions. What should we do?"
"Alas, why are there rebellions one after another in Dajing now? This is an ominous sign!"
"Everyone, do you have any good ideas!?"
Civil and military officials are talking about it endlessly!
Cai Jing's face turned pale at this time!
He also knew about the rebellion early this morning!
This made Cai Jing very angry.
Because conscription was originally a good opportunity for him to make money!
But this time, the people actually dared to rebel! ?
This made Cai Jingdu feel unbelievable!
"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the troops to war, but I have to suppress a rebellion!"
After seeing this situation, General Chu stood up without hesitation!
"Your Majesty! I am also willing to lead the troops to suppress the rebellion!"
As General Chu took the lead in stepping forward, the remaining generals all stepped forward.
Of course, except for one person!
That’s Jiang Chen!
When Emperor Dajing saw that Jiang Chen did not stand up, he couldn't help but look confused!
According to past experience, Jiang Chen should be the first to step forward!
"I see the hearts of you, my dear ministers!"
"But there are not enough troops to suppress the rebellion!"
Emperor Dajing said with an embarrassed look on his face.
……
Today, Dajing’s biggest problem is the lack of troops.
It's impossible to transfer personnel to the two major border checkpoints!
As for the troops in the capital, they were all dispatched to various places!
Now, all that Emperor Dajing has left are the Imperial Guards!
If the 50,000 guards are also sent out, then... who will protect the palace?!
But if the rebellion is not suppressed, the imperial court will not have peace!
Emperor Dajing was so embarrassed that he was speechless.
The general who was about to lead the troops into battle was also unable to say a word.
Now, they don’t know what to do!
If this situation continues to develop, then...what should the court do?
Are we just going to sit back and watch the people rebel and do nothing?
At this moment, Emperor Dajing looked at Eunuch Zhang.
"Zhang Aiqing, do you have any ideas?"
Hearing what Emperor Dajing said, all the civil and military officials in the court looked at Eunuch Zhang.
When Eunuch Zhang saw everyone's gaze, he sighed helplessly and said, "Your Majesty, I don't have a better solution!"
"The people rebelled because they resisted conscription."
"There is no other way except to suppress it!"
"But the imperial court does not have enough troops..."
"This is equivalent to becoming a vicious circle!"
When the civil and military officials heard what Eunuch Zhang said, they nodded involuntarily.
They were short of troops and needed to conscript soldiers.
But if the conscripted civilians riot, do we need to use military force to suppress them?
But they don’t have extra troops to suppress it!
"Your Majesty, I suggest that you mobilize the Royal Guards to suppress the rebellion!"
Cai Jing stood up reluctantly!
"Use the Royal Guards!?"
Emperor Dajing said angrily: "Lord Cai, do you know that the Imperial Guards are my only trump card?"
"You...you asked me to mobilize the Imperial Guards. What if something happens to the court?!"
……
"Yes, 50,000 guards are not enough to suppress all places!"
"What if someone comes all the way to the capital?"
"Alas, the conscription is still too hasty!"
"Yeah! If you go slower, maybe it will be much better!"
The civil and military officials started discussing again.
Cai Jing said with a stiff upper lip: "Your Majesty, of the 50,000 imperial guards, 40,000 can be dispatched, and the remaining 10,000 will guard the capital!"
"Those who rebelled are refugees, and they are vulnerable!"
"With 40,000 guardsmen, coordinated with the garrisons in various places, and led by a capable and skilled general, we will surely be able to crush the rebellion with lightning speed and put it down quickly!
"By then, I will have new soldiers in Dajing!"
What Cai Jing said seems to make some sense.
Civil and military officials also recognized it.
But who is the man who is good at fighting and conquering that Cai Jing mentioned?
All the civil and military officials looked at Jiang Chen and General Chu unconsciously!
General Chu is a famous veteran of Dajing!
In addition, he has been guarding the border for many years, so naturally he has prestige!
Jiang Chen, on the other hand, had a record of suppressing the Eight Wise Kings and defeating the grassland, so he was also a capable person!
It’s really hard to choose between these two!
Even Emperor Dajing was confused about who to use!
In his heart, he actually leaned more towards Jiang Chen.
But I’m afraid it will be difficult to reward Jiang Chen after he makes another great contribution!
This...what should I do?
Just when everyone was hesitating, General Chu looked up at Emperor Dajing!
He decided to give this opportunity to Jiang Chen!
After all, Jiang Chen had saved his son and was kind to him!
But just when General Chu was about to speak, Jiang Chen spoke first!
