"You must have misunderstood."

Facing Xiao Ling's accusation, Chu Yi did not get angry, but instead began to explain:

"Anyang Prefecture Governor Liu An suppressed all the news about the disaster in the north. I was not aware of this before. I only learned about these things a few days ago."

"The prefect of Anyang Prefecture?" After hearing Chu Yi say this, Xiao Ling also recalled something.

However, she didn't know much about Liu An at the moment, and after thinking about it, she still felt that something was wrong.

"You are the Minister of Personnel, in charge of the power to appoint and dismiss officials. How can you not even know about something as serious as a natural disaster? How did you become the Minister of Personnel?"

The tone of her words clearly showed that she was reprimanding Chu Yi as the emperor.

There was no way, mainly because Xiao Ling was really angry at that time.

Perhaps Chu Yi wasn't paying much attention, and didn't find anything unreasonable in her words. He just continued to explain for himself:

"A powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. I haven't paid attention to the situation in the north for the past six months. Liu An's power is indeed very great, and he has suppressed the matter forcefully. Even the imperial court was unaware of the autumn hunt here."

At the end, Chu Yi thought of something and added, "Liu An was already the prefect of Anyang Prefecture when Xiao Yu was emperor. With the support of Prime Minister Sun Xian, the power he has built up over the years is indeed formidable."

Xiao Ling: “…”

Okay, this last sentence is to shift all the blame for dereliction of duty to oneself.

Sun Xian is the current chief minister of the cabinet. Although Chu Yi is now above everyone else, Sun Xian is not a pushover either.

But after all, thinking about her current status, although she was angry, she didn't want to pursue it too much.

"So, what are you planning to do now?" Xiao Ling asked.

"Don't worry, just watch the show."

Chu Yi still had a kind look on his face, but when he looked at the crowd, he couldn't help but smile.

It was also at this time that the noisy crowd over there quieted down.

Xiao Ling realized that it was the man who had scolded her the first time who was speaking again.

"In short, in order to survive, we are now at our wit's end. We will either starve to death or be driven to death by these corrupt officials. There is only one way out!"

"That means we all unite together, go to Anyang City, break into the city, kill those corrupt officials, and then take away the food!"

At this point, the man lowered his voice.

After hearing these words, the crowd became somewhat quiet.

Although they are farmers, they are not stupid and know what these words mean.

Finally, someone spoke tentatively in a weak voice: "Lao Zhang, this is a rebellion. We're going against the officials. How can we win?"

"Yeah, yeah, with so few of us, we'd probably die if we went..."

Hearing these discouraging remarks, the man suddenly became furious and swung the sword in his hand.

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers born noble?"

"Starving to death is death, and killing officials is also death, but there might be a chance. Am I just going to starve to death?"

"In short, I'm going to do this deal today. If you don't want to go, I won't force you. I'm just afraid that when the time comes, I'll get some food from others, and you won't beg me to share it with you!"

After all, these words are contagious, or perhaps it is because I really feel the real despair.

Soon, the crowd began to talk and discuss.

Xiao Ling was already confused by what he heard in the back.

What's the meaning?

Are these refugees going to rebel?

She stared at the crowd, then looked at Chu Yi beside her, who remained unmoved.

"Well said, if we're going to die anyway, we might as well do something! I'm the only one in my family anyway."

"Lao Zhang, I'll go with you. I really can't stand those crooked officials anymore!"

"I'm going too!"

Soon, after the first one, there was the second one.

After a while, most of the refugees here were infected and started clamoring to go to Anyang to kill Liu An and steal food.

"Kill the dog official and save the people!"

"Knock on the city gates to welcome Lao Zhang. Lao Zhang is here to eat bran!"

Looking around, it was clear that almost all the refugees in this area had been incited to resentment, numbering in the hundreds.

Then, Chu Yi also stood up and shouted:

"Take Anyang, have enough food to eat, and wear warm clothes! Overthrow the tyrant emperor!"

Xiao Ling: “?”

You Chu thief,

Are you polite?

You called me a tyrant in front of me. Could it be that you, the Chu thief, are you a good official who is loved by everyone?

Isn't he also a greedy and treacherous minister?

Realizing the situation he was in, Xiao Ling's brain was no longer able to think.

She never imagined that Chu Yi, the bastard, brought her here to rebel.

You, as the Minister of Personnel, should just come and watch the show. What's the point of joining this group of people in rebellion?

It was also at this time that this group of refugees began to move, each carrying a knife or gun that they had obtained from somewhere and heading towards Anyang.

Chu Yi no longer hesitated, called out Xu Zizhuo, took Xiao Ling's hand and took her away.

"Let's go and take a look."

Xiao Ling hadn't recovered her thoughts yet, still dazedly thinking about everything, and for a while she let Chu Yi take her and follow the group of refugees.

She didn't know how far she had walked before she looked at Chu Yi, with only panic on her face.

"Are you crazy? What are you doing following these refugees? They look like they have hundreds of people. Aren't you afraid that the soldiers will come and kill us all?"

She didn't know what Chu Yi was thinking and felt a little helpless.

This is a rebellion. Even though I am rebelling against myself, who would know that I am the emperor now given my current appearance?

I was afraid that if I accidentally ran into a group of soldiers, I would be killed without any explanation.

Xiao Ling was very anxious, but Chu Yi seemed to have no such worries at all.

He couldn't help but squeeze Xiao Ling's hand, and then kindly comforted her, "Don't worry, no soldiers will come. Just follow and watch the show."

Xiao Ling was stunned by the soft voice.

When she came to her senses, she realized that Chu Zei had been holding her hand, and she quickly pulled it back.

"What do you mean nothing will happen? I think you are a lunatic."

Xiao Ling naturally didn't want to put herself in such a situation, and said that she wanted to go back alone first.

"If you go alone now, it will be dangerous if you encounter soldiers!"

Chu Yi's calm words came from behind him, and Xiao Ling, who had already taken a step, was stunned again.

Then, she turned around angrily and followed Chu Yi without saying a word.

There is no way, the Chu bandits are really going too far.

Naturally, she didn't dare to stay in this broken place alone, so she could only follow Chu Yi to see what this traitor was planning.

After regaining her composure, she quickly realized that this group of refugees must have decided to rebel because someone was secretly instigating them.

All of this seems reasonable, but it seems more like Chu Yi's masterpiece!
