Imperial City, Ministry of War.
"My lord, urgent news from Bibo Mansion."
"explain."
"A large-scale rebellion broke out in Bibo Prefecture. The prefecture, county, and county towns were all damaged to varying degrees."
This is a big deal, affecting an entire prefecture.
The Minister of War immediately flew directly to the floating island with the news from the bandit-suppression army.
This matter is no longer something his Ministry of War can resolve.
At the gate of the imperial palace, he happened to run into the Prime Minister and the Deputy Prime Minister. I guess the Government Affairs Hall had also received the news from below.
"You guys came to see me together, what happened?"
The Holy Emperor still looked listless and listless.
The Prime Minister sighed. He was somewhat displeased with the Holy Emperor who was so high-spirited before, because he was too restless, with a new policy today and a new treaty tomorrow.
But he is not happy with the current Holy Emperor, who is indifferent to state affairs and does not practice well.
The most important thing is that many government affairs were thrown into the Government Affairs Hall and he no longer handled them.
With greater power comes more things that consume one's energy.
"Holy Emperor, a report has been received from Bibo Palace, saying that the city has been attacked on a large scale and suffered heavy losses. They need funding from the imperial court."
"Let's do as usual. Cut half of it and give it to them."
The Minister of War was a little anxious. Was it time to discuss allocating funds to repair the city?
Isn't it that what we should discuss most is the suppression of the rebellion?
"Saint Emperor, Prime Minister, I think we should send another army to quell the rebellion."
"Why, Qin Xu can't deal with those rebels?"
"Master Qin alone may not be able to do it."
The Holy Emperor fell silent.
Was this rebellion created by Qin Xu or Xiao Jiu?
Then, thinking of the intelligence from a while ago, Xiaojiu arranged for a Yuanying to seize power from the bandit-suppression army.
Just a few days after arriving, rebels appeared?
"I believe Qin Xu, he can handle it. This group of bandits will never amount to anything."
The Prime Minister took a deep look at the exhausted Holy Emperor.
It has indeed changed and is not the same as before.
At that time, the Holy Emperor, who had just ascended the throne, also encountered a rebel force in a place, which was only a county.
He then assembled his troops and personally led an expedition to suppress the rebellion.
But now, even though there was a rebellion in a prefecture, which even resulted in the death of the prefecture lord and the destruction of the aristocratic families, the Holy Emperor no longer cared.
The Prime Minister wants the Holy Emperor to be more diligent in his work, but also to listen to their advice, not to control everything.
It is best to only do things that are difficult, dangerous, and offensive.
The Prime Minister and the Minister of War walked out of the floating island.
"My Lord, what do you think about this?"
"I don't understand military affairs. Since the Holy Emperor trusts Commander Qin, we should trust him too."
The Minister of War said in his heart, it’s not sticky anymore, no wonder you can become the Prime Minister.
If we no longer deploy military forces, if something goes wrong, it will be attributed to my Ministry of War’s poor decision-making, and the blame can even be placed on the Holy Emperor.
To arrange the military forces, one has to go against the Holy Emperor. If he doesn't understand, it will be over. When the Holy Emperor is dissatisfied, he will have to find him.
Damn it, the dynasty belongs to the Holy Emperor anyway, he’s not in a hurry, so why should I be in a hurry?
Just let Qin Xu transfer to the local area and form an army to suppress the rebellion.
Don't you want money? Just give it to me. The Ministry of Revenue will allocate funds for it.
As the two of them left the palace.
The news of the rebellion in Bibo Mansion spread like a hurricane, sweeping across the imperial city in a very short time.
The Ninth Prince, who was drinking and chatting with several heads of aristocratic families, was stunned when he heard the news.
A large-scale rebellion broke out in Bibo Prefecture, his nominal fiefdom and the place where he had once been "under house arrest."
Affect the whole province?
The first thing he thought of was who was messing with him.
A rebellion that can affect an entire prefecture must have a powerful force behind it.
What's more, Qin Xu was there, a great cultivator at the fifth level of the Nascent Soul Stage. The only people who could do such a thing were one or several of the eight brothers.
Even he would think, the prince's fiefdom has been managed for many years, but how could such a large-scale rebellion happen? Is it possible that he, the ninth prince, is doing something?
After hearing this news, the heads of several noble families retracted the closeness they had just shown.
Restored the previous superficial work.
The Ninth Prince forced himself to return to his mansion immediately and completed the drinking party.
He returned to the mansion with a gloomy face.
Found Huang Yunling.
"Something happened in Bibo Mansion. Your father was also killed by the rebels."
"I know."
"You know?"
“Someone just told me.”
The Ninth Prince looked at Huang Yunling. This scene seemed familiar and he remembered it.
She looked like this when Fan Chixiu got into trouble.
Are the blood relationships within the Huang family so complicated?
"Which of my brothers do you think did it?"
"It doesn't matter who did it. You can use this opportunity to raise private soldiers through Wu Yanying and Qin Xu, and make Bi Bo Mansion an iron barrel. We will have a way out in the future."
The Ninth Prince fell silent.
It’s not like he hasn’t thought about running away.
If he had been in Bibo Mansion all along, he would have gone to the outer realm by now.
After returning to the imperial city, this was the first time he seriously considered the issue of retreat.
I just made my moves randomly before and didn't think about this issue seriously.
Because he firmly believed that he could win.
"Tell me what you think."
"Use some connections in the imperial court to support Qin Xu and Wu Yanying in suppressing the rebellion, give them support, and recruit independent cultivators to expand the military strength."
"If anything unexpected happens, we can ask Qin Xu and his men to come to the Imperial City with the help of the teleportation array to help us resist, and we can take the opportunity to leave."
Without the permission of the Holy Emperor and the Ministry of War, the generals mobilized troops on their own and came to the Imperial City.
Considered as treason.
But then again, if he failed in his bid for the throne, he wouldn't care whether he rebelled or not.
Perhaps it can be used not only as a last resort, but also as a surprise force.
The success or failure depends on this power. If you win, who dares to say anything?
"Okay, let's do as you say. Send someone to Bibo Mansion and explain the situation to them."
"I'll find someone to take care of this. You shouldn't do too much right now. After all, I can arrange for someone to go back to the Huang family to check."
When he said this, it was as if he was talking to a passerby.
The Ninth Prince felt inexplicably chilled in his heart.
What I liked before was this kind of otherworldly temperament, but now I feel a little uncomfortable with this kind of otherworldly temperament.
After the Ninth Prince left, Huang Yunling nodded with satisfaction.
She felt that this was done by Wu Yanying. She must have already gained control of the bandit-suppression army, so she used this method to find a way to increase the number of magic soldiers for the White Lotus Sect.
She was very satisfied with this approach, as for Huang Shangshan.
Just think of it as making some contribution to her earthly Buddhist kingdom and her true homeland.
After all, no one would easily suspect that the daughter of a victim was the person behind this incident.
The left protector, Wu Yanying, did a great job.
She wanted to turn Bibo Mansion into the White Lotus Sect's base camp, and then from there, draw nourishment from the imperial dynasty, slowly grow stronger, and nourish her inner ambitions.
