Chapter 1126: Beginning the Encirclement and Suppression
***
Qin Mucha was just about to enter, and there was a sound of hurried footsteps at the palace gate, and then he heard Huang Lianshan's anxious voice from outside the hall: "Your Majesty!" Your Majesty! The guilty minister has something important to ask to see His Majesty."
Qin Mu put down the teacup and let the little eunuch at the palace gate Xuan Huang Lianshan come to see him. The little eunuch who served the tea bowed down and retreated to the corner of the hall to serve.
Huang Lianshan was allowed to enter the hall in a hurry, glanced around at the ministers in the hall, and bowed to Qin Mu: "Huang Lianshan, the guilty minister, see my emperor." Long live my emperor, long live, long live! β
"Huang Lianshan, what progress have you made?"
"Your Majesty, the minister suspects that there is a traitor in the palace, and I implore Your Majesty to immediately issue an order to thoroughly investigate the palace people and find out the traitor. In addition, the diet and daily life of His Majesty, the Queen, and the princes and princesses should also be taken care of by trustworthy people to prevent adulterers from poisoning. β
"Then you tell me, who is the credible person?"
"Huang Lianshan, you still have two days, get out!"
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! The minister knew that his sin was unforgivable, but this time the minister asked His Majesty to listen to the minister's advice and immediately investigate the palace people thoroughly. Your Majesty, rumors about His Majesty's poor dragon health spread overnight, and Wu Yuan was waiting for a number of imperial doctors to discuss His Majesty's symptoms. Accordingly, the minister implored His Majesty to issue a decree to thoroughly investigate the traitors. β
The minister in the palace heard Huang Lianshan's words, and secretly changed color. No matter what they thought in their hearts, they all stood up one after another and asked Qin Mu to thoroughly investigate the harem.
Han Zanzhou went to Jiangyin with the crown prince Qin Ye. And hurt.
Qin Mu originally wanted Niu Wanshan to be in charge of investigating the matter thoroughly, but after a little thought, he vetoed it. Who in this harem is suitable for this? Queen Yang Zhi is a person with a pure nature and no scheming. If she is asked to check, it is estimated that she will not be able to find out if she finds out in the Year of the Monkey. The rest of Yun Qiaoer and Li Xiangjun are forgotten.
Qin Mu decided to use a person who could not be thought of by anyone to be responsible for investigating this matter thoroughly. He called Li Shuang'er and whispered a few words, Li Shuang'er's eyes widened in disbelief, but he didn't dare to say a word, and hurriedly went to the harem.
Huang Lianshan retreated with confidence.
The Grand Governor of the Navy, Di Zhongxing, continued: "According to Your Majesty's will. The four flying shear warships that went to Jiangyin to pick up His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have set sail. β
In this regard, Qin Mu just nodded, he believed that the military officials were constantly brainwashing, and with his prestige in the army, he would definitely not betray his relatives and leave him, and everyone would oppose him.
He kept telling himself in his heart that what he needed most now was to believe, and although it was difficult, he had to believe.
Of course. The problems exposed by this night must also be carefully considered, which is no longer just trust. You can't put all your eggs in one basket!
Qin Mu had already secretly decided to split the night. A separate Department of the Interior was established. In this way, even if one intelligence system fails, there is another one that is functioning normally, and at the same time can play a role in mutual supervision and restraint.
Sima Anxin hesitated for a long time, but still said, "Your Majesty." It may be inevitable that there will be people who secretly have a rebellious heart, and judging by what they do. He also made careful preparations for this, but after thinking about it for a long time, he felt that the flashpoint of this incident was intriguing. β
"Sima Ge always has something to say, you might as well speak up."
"Your Majesty's martial arts are known to everyone in the world. People with different aspirations must have listened to the rumors from the palace, thinking that His Majesty was in a noble condition, so he dared to rebel.
Rumors about His Majesty's noble condition are still spreading, so that people are terrified. And the martial law in the whole city has contributed to the spread of rumors in disguise.
Therefore, the old minister suggested that His Majesty temporarily convene a great court meeting to declare the monarch's authority in the world, so that the rumors in the market will be self-defeating. People's hearts must be in trouble, what is the trouble of Li Guo and his ilk! β
These Qin Mu don't know, but so far, they haven't found out who is behind the whole thing. At this time, once a court meeting is held, although the rumors about him being seriously ill can be dispelled, it is also likely to startle the snake, and the black hand behind the scenes will be hidden even deeper.
"I hope Your Majesty will not hesitate any longer, if you don't hold a big court meeting and dispel the rumors, the whole world will be in turmoil, and even if Your Majesty finds out the mastermind behind this time, the disaster will be more than worth the loss."
Sima Anzhi hesitated for a long time before saying this, because from another angle, it seemed to be helping the real murderer behind the scenes.
And strictly speaking, until the real culprit is found, no one can rule out suspicion.
Someone rebelled, and the emperor is inevitably more sensitive and suspicious now. No one knows what he thinks now, maybe he thinks that finding out who is behind the threat to the imperial power is the most important thing, in order to eliminate this hidden danger, the world is in turmoil for a while?
If this is the case, Sima An said such a thing, then it would be a taboo.
Qin Mu glanced at the ministers in the palace, and then said, "Tomorrow morning, the martial law in Beijing will be lifted and a great court meeting will be held." β
Hearing this, Sima An's heart finally fell into place, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty Shengming! β
Next, the monarchs and ministers urgently discussed how to remove the military power of the former Dashun military generals stationed in various places more quickly and effectively, and formulated specific plans one by one according to the different situations in various places.
In general, it is necessary to divide the soft and hard hands, and use both prongs. The hard-handed hand is naturally to send people directly to various places, or to telegraph local officials to temporarily take over the command of the army.
The soft hand is a combination of punches. First, he launched a powerful public opinion offensive in the "Daqin Times" to guide the direction of public opinion and quell rumors.
Then in the name of the emperor, he issued an edict of rebellion to the whole world.
The general content of the edict is that the emperor worked diligently and sleepily, and it was not easy for the country to be rebuilt in the ruins, so that the people could live and work in peace and contentment;
Now, for their own selfishness, Li Guo and others are plotting rebellion, intending to plunge the world into a dire war again, and also spreading rumors about the emperor's death, confusing the public, and deceiving the world, which is an unforgivable crime.
Immediately after that, the conversation changed, saying that if everything is in ruins today, and the people are living in peace and prosperity, the emperor believes that most people are unwilling to help Li rebel in the chaos, including the old troops of the original Dashun army, and the emperor also believes it.
However, in order to block the mouth of the world, the generals of the original Dashun Army should also temporarily hand over their military power, so as not to give up the melon fields. Therefore, those who take the initiative to hand over military power, after Li Yizhi's rebellion is pacified, will not only be able to reinstate the officials, but will also be given priority to promotion and reuse.
After the decree was issued, in order to prevent Yuan Zongdi from changing, Qin Mu ordered the East China Sea Fleet to leave the home port of Ningbo and go south to Fujian; At the same time, the soldiers and horses of Jiangxi, Guangdong, and Zhejiang were ordered to strengthen their combat readiness and enter Fujian at any time.
On the side of Quanjiao County, it was to be handed over to Ling Zhan and Yan Yingyuan to lead 5,000 cavalry each. Yan Yingyuan crossed the river from Yanziji, and Ling Zhan led his troops to the west first, crossing the river from Quarry Rock, forming a two-sided attack on Li Guo's rebels.
In addition, considering that the Dashun army was the best at wandering and fighting, in order to prevent Li Guo and his gang from repeating their old tricks, the military department also urgently ordered the soldiers and horses in Chuzhou, Fengyang, Luzhou, Hezhou, Hanshan, Chaoxian and other places to enter the highest alert state.
However, the soldiers and horses in these places are only responsible for strictly guarding the main transportation routes, to put it bluntly, they are each strictly guarding their own territory, forming a tight encirclement on the periphery to prevent the rebels from escaping.
If all states and counties send troops to attack together, because coordination is not easy, it is easy for Li Guo to take advantage of loopholes, and even break through from all sides. Therefore, the military headquarters formulated a containment plan for this perimeter, which was only responsible for strict defense.
As for the task of pursuing and suppressing the enemy, Ling Zhan and Yan Yingyuan are responsible for the two cavalry, and they are well guarded on all sides, Ling Zhan and Yan Yingyuan do not need to divide their troops to intercept them, they just chase and fight fiercely, so that the rebels have no place to shelter and a chance to breathe, until they are extinguished!
