297 The water is too cold!
The King of Linzi, Xiang Ju, took a group of ministers and dozens of generals, and fled from the camp in a hurry from the small road and headed towards Linzi.
Behind them, the entire Wujiang camp was burning and fell in the fire.
Xiang Ju, the king of Linzi, looked back and saw the fall of the camp, and felt palpitations and frightened, and he couldn't help but feel sad from his heart.
"I and the princes joined forces to raise an army, and a 500,000 army stationed in Wujiang, but ended up in such a miserable end!"
Xiang Ju burst into tears and howled in pain.
What worries him even more is what should I do after I go back?
Linzi has weak national strength, so how can it be the opponent of the court?
A group of dozens of people were not familiar with the road conditions on the small road, and they ran around like headless flies. They had not escaped for more than ten miles, but they saw a group of horses behind them making a loud noise.
"Hurry, don't let Linzi King Xiang Ju escape!"
"The court has an order to kill a rebel king and be granted a marquis!"
"If you kill the rebel king and surrender to the court, you will be spared!"
Hundreds of muslan cavalry saw their carriage and screamed ecstatically.
The monarch and ministers did not expect that the imperial musketeers were too eager to chase the emperor, and they suddenly felt that the disaster was coming and they were desperate.
When Linzi Wang Xiangju saw the figures of Tongtong running towards them, she was so scared that she flew out of the sky.
The ministers looked at each other, felt their scalp numb and their air conditioners were on their bodies.
"Let's jump into the river!"
"This water... is too cold!"
“It’s better…”
The civil officials were in tune with each other and looked at Xiang Ju.
“It’s better…”
The generals also had a tacit understanding and looked at Xiang Ju.
The Linzi King Xiang Ju looked at the civil and military ministers in horror.
"Puff!"
Xiang Ju's head fell to the ground.
The ministers and generals turned around and knelt on the path, presented the head of the rebellious king Xiangju, and welcomed the imperial army.
...
In the evening.
Chu Tianxiu, Li Yu, and a group of generals from the imperial court entered the Wujiang camp.
The rebel king will die!
The princes and kings knew that their death was approaching, and those who died were dead and those who fled, and none of them remained in the Wujiang camp.
However, the surrendered civil officials and military generals still had a way to survive. The number of people was numerous, and they knelt in the camp to welcome Xiaohunhou and a group of imperial generals.
Although they will end up miserably after the defeat.
But as long as you can escape a life and return to your hometown to farm, it is acceptable.
"Everyone, I wrote a letter to the court that except for the evil and the mastermind, the other followers who surrender on the battlefield will be spared. You can stay and attend the night banquet. After tonight, go back to your hometown."
Chu Tianxiu looked at the surrenders and said.
"Xie Xiaohunhou!"
"Thank you for your kindness!"
The rebel ministers and generals were ecstatic and bowed.
The camp soon had a night banquet in the flowing water to celebrate the victory.
The Wujiang Camp fell, and the 500,000 coalition forces of the princes were destroyed.
This means that the rebels of the princes and kings in Jiangbei will no longer be in a state of chaos. Even if there are only a few three-legged cats left, they will only struggle to death.
Chu Tianxiu didn't have to do it himself, just send the imperial generals to deal with them.
....
"Good news!"
"Good news--!"
"The Xiaohunhou led a new army of muskets and artillery to defeat the Wujiang camp. The 500,000 coalition of princes and lords were defeated. Ten princes and kings committed suicide by slashing their throats in Wujiang, and were defeated. There were countless surrenders!"
"The court issued the "Decree of Reducing the Vastuals"! Any vassal states that participated in the rebellion will immediately abolish the feudal states and set up counties, which will be directly under the jurisdiction of our Great Chu court!"
"The vassal states that did not participate in the rebellion remained unmoved."
The news reached the Jinling imperial capital, and the entire Jinling City was in full swing.
The "Da Chu Di Daily" responded the fastest and hurriedly reviewed the latest battle report and sold it desperately throughout the city.
The scholars and nobles all rushed to buy the residence and take a look.
"A generation of war gods, a new generation of war gods! ~ In front of him, Li Rong, the Grand Marshal, guarding the border and intimidating the Huns. Later, the Xiaohun Marquis Chu Tianxiu, suppressed the rebellion of the princes and made unparalleled achievements!"
The old people in the city were trembling with excitement.
Teahouses, wine shops, and the people are all excited to spread this matter.
This great victory in Wujiang Camp laid the foundation for peace in the Central Plains of Jiangbei in one fell swoop. All the princes were stunned, and those who did not participate in the rebellion would never dare to commit another incident.
...
Royal Palace.
The atmosphere is solemn.
The Imperial Guards were strictly guarded at all gates of the palace, and no one was involved, and they were not allowed to enter the palace unless they were ordered.
"What's going on in the palace?"
Kong Hanyou held the good news from the Wujiang Camp and wanted to enter the palace to discuss with the emperor about the rebellion of the princes. However, he was blocked from the palace gate and could not enter the palace to report the good news. He couldn't help but glar at the eunuch outside the palace gate.
"Mr. Kong, if something happened in the palace, it was not the emperor's order or the empress dowager's order, and it was not allowed to enter and exit."
Cai and the eunuch bowed in a low voice.
"What happened?"
Kong Hanyou asked.
Cai and the eunuch shook their heads, and were forced to expose themselves, so they could only reveal a little, "Prime Minister, two months ago, the emperor was injured in an explosion in the Qinhuai River. He had recovered after treatment after treatment, but it was not a serious illness.
But the emperor didn't care. He kept going to court these two months and did not rest in the palace. A month ago, he forced himself to go to Danyang City and worked hard. After returning to the palace, he felt uncomfortable. He became more and more serious in the past few days. He often fainted and occasionally woke up. I'm afraid... I'm afraid..."
As he said that, the corners of the eunuch Cai and the eunuch were crying, and he was quite sad. He had been with the sage for decades since he was young, and his relationship with the emperor was extremely deep.
"Who is around the emperor in the palace?"
Kong Hanyou looked stern and whispered.
"Empress Dowager Shen, Empress Cui, and Prince are all here. The Imperial Doctor Song Yi has been with the emperor and taking care of him personally.
However, the Empress Dowager said that before the emperor woke up, civil and military ministers were not allowed to enter the palace. The old slave just conveyed the empress dowager's will, and you will not enter the palace to meet the emperor for the time being."
Cai and the eunuch wiped away their tears and said quickly.
When Kong Hanyou heard this, he couldn't help but feel even more worried.
The empress, queen and prince are all there, which shows that the emperor's illness is quite serious.
However, Empress Dowager Shen is experienced and has experienced countless storms and waves in the political arena of several dynasties in the Great Chu Dynasty. With Empress Dowager Shen here, there is no need to worry about major changes in the overturning of the government.
"The emperor is seriously ill. As the prime minister, I should guard the emperor personally. Please ask Lord Cai to meet Empress Dowager Shen, and be sure to allow the three dukes and nine ministers to enter the palace together to accompany the sage."
Kong Hanyou said in a deep voice.
"Empress Dowager Shen is not allowed, and he is also worried that some of your foreign ministers will be dissatisfied with the prince and interfere with the inheritance of the throne... After all, this is the family matter of the emperor. The empress dowager wants to protect the prince's succession, but he does not want any foreign ministers to interfere in this matter while internal and external chaos and prevent the prince from succeeding to the throne."
"Hmph, family affairs? The Empress Dowager is confused! The inheritance of the emperor is the affairs of the world. Moreover, if the saint dies, the prince Xiang Tiange is young and has insufficient experience, and needs to assist the ministers! How can the three dukes and nine ministers not be by the saint?
If the emperor can wake up, he must timely designate the ministers to be appointed to the state affairs and assist the prince!
Lord Cai, go and tell Empress Chen immediately, "We will enter the palace to accompany the throne!" Ensure that the prince ascended the throne is a state affairs, not Xiang's family, but the Empress Dowager alone!"
Kong Hanyou turned around and left, and went back to summon the three ministers and nine ministers to enter the palace together.
"This...well, I'll tell the Queen Mother."
When Cai He saw Kong Hanyou leave, he sighed worriedly.
The ministers who were appointed to the orphans were entrusted with great power. Kong Hanyou obviously didn't want Empress Dowager Chen to control all this... There must be another wave of storm in the court for power.
He hurriedly returned to the palace to report to Empress Dowager Chen.
