Chapter 50: The Queen's Anger! The Simulator Cooling Time Ends
Changan.
Imperial Palace, Tianluan Hall.
The heavy snow dissipated.
The moon is bright and high in the sky.
The cold moonlight was illuminated by the lights of thousands of homes in Chang'an City.
It has a touch of the worldly air.
"The snow has stopped."
The empress stood in front of the window, her eyes slightly raised.
Gazing at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, in his narrow eyes.
I have many thoughts.
Didn't relax.
Instead, I felt a little more depressed.
Although the heavy snow has stopped, the victims are still suffering from hunger and cold in the biting cold wind.
It is said that it is cold when it snows.
But the coldness when the snow melts is even more biting.
These days.
Xingqing Prefecture was in chaos, the number of mobs increased sharply, and riots became more frequent.
Even in the report of Jinyiwei.
Qingxi area.
Mobs have formed groups and started to rob, burn, kill and loot in an organized manner.
These mobs are not powerful enough.
But if we just leave it alone, once the time goes on, it may lead to disaster.
But the treasury is empty.
With no money or food, she was at a loss for what to do.
It would also cost money to dispatch troops to suppress the rebellion, if there is no military pay.
Who will work hard for you?
Thinking.
The empress frowned, feeling a little annoyed.
He glanced coldly at the harem.
in this period.
The Embroidered Uniform Guard also found out that the deficit of the Ministry of Revenue was closely related to Empress Dowager Xiao.
But even if you know.
She also had no substantial evidence to take action against Empress Dowager Xiao.
Furthermore.
Even if there is sufficient evidence, she will not act rashly until she is absolutely sure.
“Disaster relief.”
"Where will this silver come from?"
The more the empress thought about it, the more upset she became.
All prefectures north of Chang'an.
In this once-in-a-century heavy snowfall, there were many victims.
The number of disaster victims is huge.
Just Xingqing Prefecture.
At least three million taels of silver would be enough.
Not to mention other state capitals.
The largest source of annual income for the Ministry of Revenue during the Dawu Dynasty was taxes, followed by the Jiaofangsi.
The Jiaofangsi had a very high income.
One year down.
It could generate nearly 10 million taels of silver in revenue for the Dawu Dynasty, but not long ago.
The silver was then included in the Ministry of Revenue.
Even if we pay another payment now, it would at most be a few hundred thousand taels of silver, which is a drop in the bucket.
Just when the empress was feeling depressed.
A familiar voice sounded from outside the Tianluan Palace: "Big Sister, urgent news from Xingqing Prefecture."
'crunch'
Without waiting for the empress to speak.
Then Bai Xianxian rushed into the hall in a hurry.
See this.
The empress frowned and asked, "What's going on?"
"Big sister, something big has happened."
In response to the empress's question, Bai Xianxian took a breath, her pretty face full of solemnity.
There was no time to wipe the sweat from my forehead.
He stepped forward and said, "Xingqing Prefecture reported that the disaster relief grain was robbed, and there is a high probability that it is related to the King of Wu and the King of Qin in Datong Prefecture, and the relationship between these two people may not be as hostile as the outside world has rumored."
As the empress's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
Bai Xianxian told all of Ling Yan'er's speculations that day in one breath.
After the empress listened.
Those narrow eyes were instantly filled with coldness.
"Big sister, there is one more thing."
But before the empress could get angry, Bai Xianxian continued, "Earlier, the third and second senior sisters contacted me through the sect's secret method."
"I mentioned Li Zhenfushi from the Jinyiwei. I don't know who he reached some kind of cooperation with. After being discovered by the two senior sisters, he betrayed the Jinyiwei tonight."
At this point, Bai Xianxian's tone was already filled with shock: "And his martial arts cultivation is not just as simple as the Grandmaster Realm. With the help of the two senior sisters, he was able to leave calmly. At least he is at the peak of the Profound Realm and has touched the threshold of the Celestial Realm."
"Envoy Li?"
The empress took a deep breath upon hearing this and forced herself to suppress the anger in her heart.
He said to Bai Xianxian with a serious face: "Is there anything else?"
Li Changqing.
She knew who it was.
It can even be said that he has her trust and is often entrusted with important tasks.
She was the one who promoted him.
This time Li Changqing went to Xingqing Prefecture.
It was she who personally ordered him to be sent away, which was enough to prove her trust in him.
But she didn't expect it.
This Li Changqing actually betrayed me.
"No more."
Bai Xianxian was frightened by the anger in the empress's eyes and shrank her head.
He replied weakly.
"Pass the order."
Looking at the junior sister who was scared by him.
The empress' tone softened a little, but she still ordered coldly: "Have the Dali Temple immediately issue a wanted order for Li Changqing, the former Jinyiwei pacification envoy."
"Yes."
Bai Xianxian nodded.
I am about to go and deliver the order.
Although it is late now, the empress's orders do not care about the time.
"and many more."
Just as Bai Xianxian was about to leave.
The empress frowned and stopped Bai Xianxian, saying, "Go with her and ask Shangguan Yun to come see me."
"Okay, big sister."
Upon hearing this, Bai Xianxian retreated.
"We can't delay any longer." The empress stood in front of the window, looking at her junior sister who was gradually going away.
A cold light flashed in his eyes.
His tone gradually turned cold: "Jinyiwei, it's time for a purge."
originally.
She just thought they were the Jinyiwei from various states.
He will be bribed by various princes and choose to betray himself.
But she didn't expect that.
Even the pacification envoy who had always been under his watch would betray him.
The empress could not tolerate this.
"I vaguely remember that Li Changqing was recommended to me by Pei Kan, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple. Could it be that Pei Kan also has problems?" The empress's eyes narrowed again when she thought of this.
He sneered, "Pei Kan, you'd better hope that you are innocent."
After saying this, the empress raised her eyes again.
Looked at the bright moon.
He frowned and murmured, "What are the King of Wu and the King of Qin planning?"
Ling Yaner's speculation.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
But what she couldn't understand was what these two people were planning to do.
rebel?
If it were just a rebellion, there would be no need to do this.
The empress didn't believe that these two people didn't know.
Right now, she simply didn't have the extra energy to deal with the two of them.
She has little power under her control.
They were all placed in Chongli and Gu’an.
That's right.
The day after the Empress had a discussion with Duke Wu, the Empress asked the Minister of War to do the same.
An elite force was secretly transferred.
Quietly went to Gu'an.
This elite force was small, only about 50,000 strong, and together with the Gu'an garrison, the total number was only 80,000.
Once the King of Zhou rebelled.
Even 80,000 defenders would not be able to hold out for long.
But the empress does not need Lan Rong to defend Gu'an for a long time, half a month is enough.
It was this elite force that was mobilized with reinforcements to Chongli Prefecture.
The treasury of the Dawu Dynasty was completely emptied.
【Ding! 】
[Simulator cooling time ends, simulation can be performed today]

At this time, the midnight hour had passed.
At the right moment, a familiar voice sounded in the empress's mind.
