Chapter 348 The starting point of the chaos in the world?
"Little Pavilion?" The empress frowned. She didn't even remember who it was, but immediately, she thought of it.
"It's Zhou An's close friend, Xiaoting, Yang Yuting." Li Guangshan said on the side, and he and several old ministers turned their heads and looked out.
"Come in." The empress was to the outsiders.
Eunuch Zhang left the hall and signaled the pavilion to enter.
The pavilion bent down ninety degrees, lowered his head and entered the hall, knelt on the ground and said, "See the Lord, long live my emperor!"
"Please be calm, what's the matter?" asked the empress.
"Report to the emperor, the south is urgently reporting that the Pure Land Teachings of Tianliu County, Luozhou gathered crowds to rebel, Tanzhou Erdao County, rebels to rebel, Bazhou Lian'an County, Pure Land Teachings of Lian'an County, gathered crowds to rebel..." Xiaotingzi said as smoothly as possible while controlling his breath.
At the same time, he took out a document from his arms and held it over his head with both hands.
Before he could finish speaking, the empress suddenly stood up and said anxiously: "Let's talk closer and come forward!"
"Yes!" Xiaotingzi responded respectfully, got up and walked quickly outside the bead curtain, and dragged the document with both hands.
Before the little eunuch who was serving in Qianyuan Hall set off, Li Guangshan strode out, lifted the bead curtain and walked out, took the document, and walked back. He didn't open it again, but held it with both hands and handed it to the empress first.
The empress opened it and looked.
Scan.
His face kept changing.
"Damn it, so brave, it's unreasonable..." The empress was so angry that she had lost her demeanor.
The contents in the document are strictly several pieces of information and summary analysis.
Luozhou, Tianliu County!
Tanzhou, Erdao County!
Bazhou, Lian'an County!
Yuezhou, Yueshan County!
Maozhou, Gouyi County!
The five states have all rebelled against Pure Land Buddhism! The five states are all remote places. In the whole Dongqian, they are poor mountains and bad waters, not prosperous places in the south. This is related to the terrain. There are many mountains and many wetlands.
The poorer you are in the land, the better the Pure Land Buddhism will develop. Moreover, because the sky is high and the emperors are far away, the local officials are all local emperors, which is easy to bribe and the court is not easy to attack.
This is the case with these five counties.
The rebellion happened yesterday. The first one was Yuezhou Yueshan County. Nearly 10,000 Pure Land scholars raided Yueshan County and seized the city with lightning! The last one was Maozhou Gouyi County, but in fact, the time difference between the five counties was not big. They were all after dusk yesterday to before nightfall, within an hour!
In fact, if it is just a state and a county, and a group of people rebel, it doesn’t seem to be a big problem. Even if it is a rebellion planned by the Pure Land Buddhism, even if there are tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of people, it is just a group of mobs. Three thousand local troops are enough to clear them out, so that some of them can die a little, and the rest will scatter birds and beasts.
It is not a big problem to look at any of the five states alone.
These days, ordinary small-scale rebellion is no longer a big deal.
But this time it's different.
There is obviously a premeditation in the five states' rebellion. This is to create a big deal that will break the sky! Although both one state and five states can be defeated one by one, the real problem is that these five states are next to each other!
There are 48 states in Dongqian. The areas of states are large and small, and some of them are very strange in shape. The areas of these five states are not too large. Looking at them together, the area is not as large as that of Zhongzhou.
They are next to each other!
What's even more terrifying is that not only the five states are next to each other, but also to each other.
The five counties are all on the edge of the five states. If the five states are regarded as a whole, then these five counties are the middle of the five states.
Five groups rebel at the same time!
This terrain!
Obviously, they will meet up as soon as possible! Thus forming a huge force of rebellion! If the court wants to quickly wipe out them and defeat them, it is likely that it will be too late. There is not enough time to deliver messages. The Pure Land Teaching is already well organized, and they dare to rebel, so they must have made sufficient preparations.
Moreover, it can even be said that the current state patriarchs in the five states may not yet know the seriousness of the problem.
Because they would not know the situation of the surrounding states immediately, and even the governors might not know that such a thing happened immediately. According to the current habit of the local officials of Donggan, they had rebellion. They were used to covering up and mobilizing troops to destroy the rebellion first. After the matter was completed, they would report to the superiors and give the result directly.
Unless you can't hold it up and the rebellion cannot be resolved in a short period of time, you will ask the court for help.
If there was no Dongchang, it would be possible that the court would have been half a month later if it wanted to get news of the rebellion of the five states.
When the court received the news, the situation was probably completely out of control.
In fact, this time, Dongchang received the news surprisingly quickly.
This is because of Zhou An's previous order.
Just the day after Wu Xukuan was killed, Zhou An returned to the Dongchang Yamen and issued an order to monitor the rebellion in the world. Any rebellion of any scale occurred anywhere. Once the secret detective guards monitored it, they would immediately send messages to the capital in the fastest and most convenient way.
In fact, it is just a letter delivered by Fei Ge.
The imperial court did not use much for Fei Ge's letters because it was too secretive and was easily beaten down.
But Zhou An believed that it was not necessary to pass on the news of rebellion, and there was no need to be kept at all. Who could this be hidden from? That is, it was just a matter of time before the rebellion occurred anywhere and spread throughout the world, so why not?
Wu Xukuan's prediction of "the world is in chaos" put great pressure on Zhou An, so he issued such an order.
According to the speed of the secret detectives' transmission of messages, because the short-distance flying pigeons use many messages and convey them layer by layer, Zhou An's order will be known by all the secret detectives in the world in two or three days.
Zhou An’s original intention is to monitor the overall situation and analyze the general trend of the world.
The chaos in the world will not happen overnight, but will first appear. As long as the signs appear, Zhou An will try to destroy it immediately.
And this time, all the information received by Xiaotingzi was sent by Feige.
I even received many repetitions, because I was afraid of being intercepted and afraid of being beaten down by the carrier pigeons, so when the secret detectives set up a batch of carrier pigeons at a time, instead of just one, they brought a kind of intelligence.
It was noon today that the small pavilion first received a letter from Feige from Tanzhou.
Within two hours, he received letters from Fei Ge from other four states.
Put together information and summarize and analyze.
Something big happened!!!
So Xiaotingzi hurriedly left the Dongchang Yamen and rode his horse to the palace.
Because when Zhou An was making arrangements for them yesterday, he had already said that he wanted to refine alchemy today, so no one disturbed him. If there is any emergency, you can report it directly to the Empress.
Therefore, Xiaotingzi came to find the Empress directly!
This matter is no longer just an emergency situation.
Chapter completed!
