Chapter 272: Coordinates are all that's needed to quell the rebellion



In the Song Dynasty, where people are lawless, the 272nd chapter of the main text states that to quell the rebellion, one only needs to find the coordinates of Jingji Road, Kaifeng Prefecture, and Tokyo Bianliang City.

In early June, around midnight, in a pavilion in the backyard of a large mansion.

Wang Shilong entered the mansion in the dark and windy night.

It would be too conspicuous to come in during the day. The city is full of spies from the Imperial City Bureau. Once discovered, it might be dangerous.

It is much safer in the middle of the night. You can enter through the side door of a remote alley. As long as you disguise yourself and check whether there is anyone at the entrances on both sides of the alley, no one will notice unless someone is specifically following you.

There is a large cherry tree next to the pavilion. The cherry blossom season has long passed, and a few green leaves have fallen under the corridor. A middle-aged man in his forties, almost fifty, is sitting cross-legged in the corridor with dignity.

Wang Shilong came over, bowed to him and said, "Sir."

"alright."

The middle-aged man hid in the darkness and waved his hand, saying, "No need to be polite. Sit down too."

"yes."

Wang Shilong was sitting next to him, also sitting cross-legged like him.

"What's going on?"

The man asked.

"They've already sent out assassins."

"Do you think they might succeed?"

"There's little hope."

"Why?"

"I heard that Zhao Jun had local officials and the Imperial City Bureau escort him along the way, so he had almost no opportunity to take action."

“But they had to go.”

"Yeah, actually I thought they were going to report me."

"Haha, the merit of reporting you is not enough to make up for the bad things they did, unless it is that thing."

"That's probably why we lured them to attack the envoy first."

Wang Shilong laughed.

Luring them to attack the imperial envoy, even if Ma Zheng reported them, the worst that could happen would be Wang Shilong's death.

The question is, can Ma Zhengju and others really be given lighter sentences for reporting the crime?

The bad things done by the sons of military families and nobles vary in severity. There must be a reason why Wang Shilong chose to deceive them.

Firstly, the bad things they did were quite serious, punishable by death. Moreover, it was not just them, but they also had so many children under them. How could they save so many people just by reporting Wang Shilong?

Secondly, and most importantly, Zhao Jun's reputation was too widespread, and they didn't dare to bet on whether Zhao Jun would choose to let them off after seeing what they had done.

Zhao Jun himself was not afraid of the powerful and wealthy. Even those in the civil service group, up to the position of deputy prime minister, could be killed at will, and even some of Zhao Zhen's "old friends in the vassal state" were among them.

He didn't even give face to Zhao Zhen, let alone others.

Therefore, since they would die anyway and even if they reported Wang Shilong, he might not be able to save them, they might as well give it a try.

Unless it's that incident, it's a different matter.

"I imagine the news of the failed attack on the envoy must have frightened them."

The middle-aged man said.

"This is a capital crime for the Yi people, that's for sure."

"Well, you continue to gather information. Once you have any news, tell them immediately to increase their panic."

"yes."

"When the time comes, we must persuade them to participate in this matter. Yang Huaimin of the Yang family and Deng Baoji, the nephew of the Ma family, are both serving as deputy captains of the inner guards in the palace."

"yes."

"Success or failure depends on this one move."

"I understand."

Wang Shilong raised his head and looked at the man in front of him, bowed and said, "Grand Master, I will take my leave now."

"Go ahead."

The man also raised his head.

Just as the dark clouds dispersed, bright moonlight shone down, shining on his body and revealing Zhao Yunrang's face.

Wang Shilong bowed and left.

He had no choice.

Zhao Jun had a grudge against him for expelling him before.

Now the imperial court is going to take action against the generals and nobles again. They will definitely be sentenced to death for the illegal things they have done.

Just when he felt desperate, someone stepped forward to help him plan a huge fortune.

If he succeeds, the dynasty will change, and he will be a loyal minister.

In order to get rich, you have to take a risk.

After Wang Shilong left, Zhao Yunrang narrowed his eyes and looked up at the sky.

He also had no choice.

Zhao Zhen ascended the throne at the age of thirteen and had no children for fourteen years.

As a result, in the fourth year of Jingyou, she suddenly gave birth to a healthy eldest son, Zhao Fang, and sent his son Zhao Zongshi out of the palace.

Now the two generations of Zhao Yunrang's family's dream of becoming emperors was completely shattered.

So how can we save the situation?

Only Zhao Zhen, Zhao Fang and Zhao Jun died together!

Zhao Yunrang looked up at the sky and muttered to himself, "Zhao Heng, your family owes me this!"

.

In late June, the first group of personnel who set out to various places to check the military registration had achieved some results and reported to the Constitutional Council.

The ones that reported back so quickly were basically from the surrounding areas, including the Tokyo Camp in Kaifeng Prefecture.

For other remote areas, it will probably take half a year.

Early in the morning on the 24th, Zhao Jun started his day's work after holding a regular meeting with everyone.

As the rulers of a vast empire, the prime ministers have a lot of things to do every day. Not only do they have to arrange future matters, but they also have to review memorials from all over the country and check the work progress of various departments.

This greatly increased the workload of the Constitutional Court. Fortunately, the Constitutional Court has expanded, with twelve prime ministers and about thirty departments, with each person in charge of two to three departments on average, so it can generally handle the matter.

It rained moderately today. The raindrops outside fell, hitting the eaves, the windowsill, and the leaves of the banyan tree outside the house, making crackling sounds.
