Harsh taxes are the last straw that breaks the hearts of the people. People rose up to resist, a wave of uprisings broke out in various places, and some remote counties fell directly. When the news reached Yanjing, most of them still ignored it. Even Fu Tingxuan thought so. After all, the army composed of these common people in the previous life did not cause any trouble. He sent a few generals to clear it out, but he never expected that an army of 200,000 people could not even defend the city and was beaten and fled. The opponent had less than 100,000 troops, and this team was led by Tang Yi. Tang Yi became completely famous in this battle, and more and more people joined his team. Tang Yi was good at using military skills to advance from Sangyu to the imperial city. Loud. Yanjing. There was silence in the court, and no one expected that the once inconspicuous team would now grow into a force that threatened them. Fu Tingxuan's heart was filled with unknown anger. He didn't understand why the insurgent army, which had not been successful in his previous life, was so fast and violent in this life.
He had never even heard of Tang Yi. It just so happens that he is such a little-known figure who is extremely good at using soldiers. Now he is directly threatening the entire court and him!
A strong sense of loss of control came over him, and the man couldn't help feeling cold all over his body. Fu Tingxuan was the first to speak to break the silence. "Everyone, do you have any countermeasures for the crisis we are facing now?" silence. The only countermeasures that could be taken were to fight, but in such a large court, they could not find a general who could win the war. The people they sent were either beaten to a pulp, or they didn't dare to fight with the opponent, and ran away with their families in the process. Fu Tingxuan took a few steps forward, then turned around to face the ministers. "Don't speak? Everyone, pretending to be dumb won't solve the problem." "You are from a noble family, but it is extremely embarrassing to have a peasant like Tang Yi step on your face." Everyone couldn't help but criticize you, saying how smart you are. If you have the ability, go ahead. Fu Tingxuan's sharp gaze swept across everyone. "The King of Japan is leaving his words here today. If we can't think of a countermeasure, no one will be able to go to court. The palace will not provide food. At worst, we will all starve to death. It is better than dying at the hands of the rebels!" Under his threat, the ministers had to use their brains. "Don't we have a princess who is married to Qin? Why don't we let Princess Changning intercede and ask Qin to send troops for reinforcements?" Ask Qin for help?
Wouldn't that make Rong Xian laugh at him!
Fu Tingxuan's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, "They refused to communicate with our country when the late emperor was still alive, and even suppressed them several times. How could Qin possibly reinforce them!" The ministers discussed it for a while, and finally the prime minister stood up and spoke. "I believe that even if you are a human being, you cannot escape the word profit. The rebel leaders are also human beings. They crusade against the imperial court for nothing more than profit." "As long as we give these leaders some gold, silver and jewelry, and promise to give them promotions, driven by desire, I believe they will abandon the people and attack Yanjing."
Someone retorted, "What if they don't agree? You know, not everyone is in it for money." To give these people promotions and titles, doesn't it mean that some people from the imperial court have to be removed? When it comes to self-interest, some people's minds spin. The Prime Minister's reaction was neither salty nor bland. "Now that the national treasury is empty, the people will naturally not fare much better. There is a shortage of food everywhere. Even if the rebels are huge now, they will not be able to hold on for long without food and grass support." "If it weren't for the sake of making a living, no one would risk their lives to do these things." "As long as we promise the rebels who are willing to submit, reduce taxes, open warehouses and release grain, the rebels will naturally surrender." The official continued to retort, "Prime Minister, you also said that the national treasury is empty now. How can we have the money to open a warehouse to store grain? Is it possible that the Prime Minister plans to sacrifice his life for righteousness and contribute his property?" Even if they give benefits to the rebel leaders, they actually relax the policy for the people. So what else can they plunder?
Fu Tingxuan was also looking at the Prime Minister. The prime minister despised it, "It's just a delaying tactic. When the rebels surrender, we will have the final say on when to open grain warehouses and when to reduce or reduce taxes!" "Warriors are all about momentum. They go all out in one go and then falter. As long as they fail this time, they will be in trouble in the future." He knew what these colleagues were thinking, and they were simply afraid that he would be squeezed out of the court. "As for the rebel leaders, we can give them some new official positions without real power. After the rebellion subsides, all these rebel leaders will be hanged on charges of corruption." After finishing speaking, everyone still didn't understand what the prime minister meant, so they looked at him with admiration. Older gingers are more spicy. Fu Tingxuan's tense face relaxed. "In that case, then do as the Prime Minister said." The boy in the high position was wearing a royal robe, but his face was dull and indifferent to the conversation below. …… In the second year after the new emperor of Yan State ascended the throne, the people rebelled, and the rebel army became so powerful that it seriously threatened the dynasty. At the suggestion of the prime minister, the imperial court asked the rebel army for reconciliation. The prime minister's analysis was correct. The rebel army was in difficult conditions and lacked food and grass. At this time, the conditions released by the court were very attractive. Both the leaders and soldiers of the rebel army were entangled for a while. The rebel forces are not only Tang Yi, but also other parties. Some of the unsettled ones chose to surrender to the court a few days after the news was released, which made the remaining rebels even more anxious. Hengcheng. Tang Yi was sitting at the table. Opposite him sat a white-haired man with delicate features, a distant look between his brows and eyes, and an indifferent and mysterious temperament. "Teacher, do you think the conditions set by the imperial court are desirable?" The evil doctor looked at the man in front of him. After years of hard work, he had lost his frizz and became calmer, but the simplicity and honesty in his body remained unchanged. The evil doctor didn't answer but asked, "Do you want to surrender?" Tang Yi scratched his head, and after struggling for a while, he chose to tell the truth, "I don't want to."
In fact, the moment he heard the news, he was not happy, but angry. It turns out that the people in the government know what the people want, but all they do is put them on the fire and deprive them of their living environment without sparing any effort. Over the years, refugees have spread everywhere. How many people are homeless, how many people have died unjustly, and how many people have died on the streets... Along the way from Sangyu, there were refugees and corpses everywhere. Seeing those bones exposed in the wilderness, he couldn't help but wonder, would these people really be kind to the people? But they don't have many reserves of resources, so their chances of winning this battle are not great. The court's conditions were very attractive, and he had to consider the brothers behind him. The evil doctor said, "Then you won't surrender." Teacher Tang Yiwang, the evil doctor poured himself a cup of tea. "The benefits of the imperial court are not so easy to get. It is common to kill donkeys and burn bridges when crossing rivers. What you think is benefits is actually a trap dug for you."
