The tenant farmers in Shu rebelled, and Emperor Xuande was very angry!

The Liao Kingdom came to attack, which was a frontier war. It can only be said that the Liao enemy coveted the Central Plains and intended to invade south. However, the people rebelled directly and expressed dissatisfaction with the Emperor of the Great Zhou court. However, the rebellion recorded in historical books did not rebel when the people rebelled when the court could not survive?

Now, this rebellion in Shu is simply telling his descendants that Emperor Xuande is unkind to rule!

In the morning court, Emperor Xuande issued an order directly and ordered the generals from Shu to send troops to suppress him immediately. Although he was worried about internal and external troubles, Emperor Xuande only had 200,000 cavalry and 20,000 tenant farmers in the northern Liao Kingdom. Emperor Xuande was just angry, but he didn't think it was difficult to suppress him. The emperor thought so, and his ministers didn't take this trivial matter to heart.

Zhao Heng began to pay attention to the situation in Shu last year. Today, the people really rebelled, and the father seemed to want to let go. Zhao Heng walked out of the civil ministers and spoke in a deep voice: "Father, my son has a report."

The second prince, King Rui, looked at him in confusion.

Emperor Xuande nodded: "Say."

Zhao Heng looked up and said calmly: "Father, the tenant farmers rebelled because they bought responsibilities, banned tea and silk, cut off the wealth of the people. In addition, the drought was severe, and the land was reduced sharply, and the people were in trouble. My sons thought that tenant farmers were rebelling for money, and those who were poor were envious and followed. If the court lifted the ban and exempted the tax for one year, then there would be no follower, and the rebels could break it."

There is no need to worry about 10,000 or 20,000 rebels. I am afraid that other Shu people will join the rebels for money. The more rebels, the more difficult it will be for the court to suppress them. Now that the Liao enemy invades, we should adopt a gentle and pacifying strategy to the people in Shu.

Some of the ministers nodded and some shook their heads when he made this suggestion.

Emperor Xuande frowned.

When King Rui saw the wind, he frowned and refuted Zhao Heng: "The third brother said this badly. Everyone knows that Shu is rich and the people have wealth. This rebellion is clearly to force the court to allow them to sell silk tea to gain more personal gain. Such a troublemaker should be suppressed and wiped out. Otherwise, the court will be as they wish this time, and next time they have other intentions to rebel again, will the court still give in again?"

After saying that, Emperor Xuande on the dragon throne of the Rui Dynasty said, "Father, the third brother said, my son thought it was inappropriate."

"Shu is rich, how can I know?" Zhao Heng asked coldly.

King Rui wanted to list the land tax and commercial taxes paid to the court every year in Shu, but Emperor Xuande was thinking about the next major plan for the Northern Expedition. Seeing that his two sons were about to quarrel, Emperor Xuande said impatiently: "Okay, OK, Shu is a little trouble. As I said before, you two would tell me how to deal with the Khitan cavalry?"

King Rui was shocked. The Great Zhou Dynasty suffered consecutive defeats under the Liao Kingdom. After the death of veteran Li Jizong, the Liao Kingdom was even more powerful. At this critical momentum, he did not want to rashly interfere with the battle strategy and win... He was not sure, but he had to take the blame if he lost.

"Father, Empress Xiao personally fought. My father had a leg disease and was inconvenient to defend the horse. My son was willing to send troops to boost morale." Zhao Heng said immediately, his voice a little higher than before, as if he had suppressed his anger for a long time. Can Zhao Heng not be angry? This Northern Expedition, the father's battle strategy was feasible, but it was actually a general who led the general to compete for merit and mislead the city, which was a man's bloody nature, let alone the royal prince who was in power. The Liao Kingdom wanted to rob him, but his Zhao family.

Zhao Heng had long wanted to go to the battlefield in person!

King Rui looked at him in surprise, as if he wanted to find out what the third brother was thinking. He was eager to show his mind. Prince stuttering, who likes to do things, actually wanted to go to the battlefield. Zhao Heng looked solemn, and King Rui could not be sure, but for whatever purpose, this time, King Rui remained silent and did not fight, for fear that his father would send him, the prince with healthy limbs and speaking neatly, to take charge of the frontier.

Emperor Xuande was originally a little dissatisfied with the third brother's suggestion to Shu, but seeing that his weak son had the ambition to go on a war on his behalf, Emperor Xuande immediately forgot that little unhappiness. However, when he thought of the third brother stuttering and the fourth brother who had lost his arm, Emperor Xuande suddenly hesitated, afraid that the third brother would have another accident.

"Emperor, Your Highness Shou is well-educated and knowledgeable, but he has never brought any troops. I think it is inappropriate." Li Long, the new Privy Councilor, pondered. He was the Privy Councilor and the elder brother of Empress Li. He was 40 years old and was born with a strong and strong character. He was the confidant general of Emperor Xuande. He had made many military achievements, but his qualifications were not as good as Cao Yu, the former Privy Councilor.

Queen Li has no prince under her knees, and Li Long has no friendship with all the princes. Now he opposes Zhao Heng leading his troops, which is simply distrustful.

Literatures are inferior to each other, and when it comes to war, military officers look down on literati even more.

"Cao Yu, Wang Sheng is all the generals, so what?" Zhao Heng asked calmly. He was going to the battlefield and no one could stop him.

Since the first Northern Expedition was scolded by Emperor Xuande in public, Prince Shou, who became more and more restrained, suddenly became aggressive and was unsheathed, shocking everyone. In a simple sentence, Li Long was choked and speechless. Who made Cao Yu and Wang Sheng really defeat the battle?

"Father, my fourth brother is injured, and my son will go on his behalf. The soldiers will know that the Tian family is not afraid of Liao, so that they can boost morale." Zhao Heng knelt down on one knee and bowed his hand to ask for an order.

"Okay! My son is brave, my blessing is also the blessing of the people of the Great Zhou!"

His son was full of passion and ambition. Emperor Xuande was very proud. He left the dragon throne and strode to Zhao Heng, and helped Zhao Heng up with his own hands. Looking at the third brother who had long been taller than him and stronger than him, holding his strong and powerful arm, Emperor Xuande pinched hard and issued a loud order, and ordered King Zhao Heng to lead the Eastern Route Army, personally fight on behalf of the king, and resist the invasion of the Liao Kingdom.

Since he made an exception and used literati to lead troops, he discussed the battle strategy. Emperor Xuande finally did not dislike the ministers of the Secretariat, and ordered Prime Minister Li He, Deputy Prime Minister Lu Xun and others to discuss matters together. Although the Northern Expedition was defeated and several generals died, the combat power of the Great Zhou Dynasty was still alive and not inferior to the Liao Kingdom. Emperor Xuande still had a glimmer of hope for the recovery of the fourteen prefectures of Youyun.

Zhao Heng rested in the front yard for three consecutive days and was about to set off tomorrow. At dusk that day, Zhao Heng finally put down the big things and went to the back yard. When the little maid in the yard saw him, she wanted to salute him. Zhao Heng looked at the window of the room and stopped him. He walked quietly to the door of Dongji Room, and did not rush to go in. He stood behind the curtain and lowered his eyes and listened quietly.

He was curious about what the three of them would do when he was away.

"Where is sister? Here!"

The daughter's tender and smiling voice came from inside. Zhao Heng couldn't help laughing. He knew that his daughter was playing hide-and-seek with his younger brother. He covered his face with his little hands and then took it away to tease his younger brother. The daughter kept laughing, and his son, who was almost three months old, would laugh out loud, but there was no movement from the princess. Zhao Heng unexpectedly looked at the curtain and went in.

"Father!" Zhao Zhao sat next to her younger brother, let go of her little fat hands covering her face. Just as she was about to tease her younger brother, she saw her father coming in. The little girl was so happy that she mercilessly left her younger brother who could not crawl and ran to the door excitedly.

Zhao Heng hugged his daughter, but his eyes turned to the warm couch. She sat cross-legged in front of the windowsill, sitting with the sunset on her back, looking up at him, and there seemed to be a light golden light on the sides of her hair and face. At that moment, Zhao Heng couldn't see her eyebrows and eyes clearly, and only saw that she was holding needles and thread in her hand, and a cotton sock was almost finished sewing.

"Terror again." Zhao Heng said unhappy, holding his daughter with one hand and stretching out his other hand towards her.

Song Jianing did not lean over as usual, looking at Brother You who was lying over there with his head tilted, Song Jianing smiled softly and said, "The prince will play with their sisters for a while, and I'll sew a few more stitches." The prince was in love with the world, and she couldn't stop it and didn't want to stop it. The only thing she could do was to help him make a few pairs of socks, robes and other large items. In just three days, she couldn't do it.

Zhao Heng understood her heart. Seeing that she lowered her head and sewed her gently, she did not force her to rest. He sat on the couch and teased Brother You with Zhao Zhao. He didn't spend much time together, so Zhao Heng held his son who didn't know anything, and then taught his sensible daughter: "Mom is very tired to take care of you. Zhao Zhao must be obedient, don't make her angry."

Zhao Zhao tilted his head and looked back. Song Jianing cooperated with the prince to look at his daughter and met his mother's beautiful face. Zhao Zhao grinned and nodded obediently. His mother sewed socks for his father, and she helped her mother take care of her younger brother.

His daughter was well-behaved, and Zhao Heng gently rubbed the head of his little fairy. When he left, he was willing to wait, but the only one who couldn't bear to let go was the three of them. He was afraid that their daughter would cry, so Zhao Heng did not dare to tell his daughter that he would leave tomorrow. After dinner, Zhao Heng asked Song Jianing to rest first, and he sent the siblings back to their room to sleep.

"Father, tell a story." After being put in the quilt by the father, Zhao Zhao couldn't bear to leave his father, so he blinked his eyes and acted coquettishly.

Zhao Heng smiled, lowered his body, touched his daughter's soft hair and asked, "Tell Moon Grandma?"

Zhaozhao nodded.

Zhao Heng said softly to his daughter. Grandma Yue is the bright moon in the sky. The red sun sets, Grandma Yue climbs up to illuminate everyone.

A very simple story, Zhao Zhao fell asleep before he finished listening. Zhao Heng kissed his daughter, watched for a while, and then left reluctantly. After exiting the house, Zhao Heng turned around and looked up, he saw his princess sitting in the corridor in a long skirt leaning forward. Her eyes were facing each other, she smiled, and stood up with a lantern. Under the moonlight, her skirt swayed in the wind, as if a fairy was about to return.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m going to separate tomorrow, but Zhao Heng suddenly became uneasy and was ruthless on the battlefield. He couldn’t guarantee that he would be foolproof.

"Why did you come out?" Zhao Heng quickly walked over. It was approaching Mid-Autumn Festival and it was getting colder at night. She didn't wear a cloak when she went out. Seeing that she was extremely thin, Zhao Heng didn't think about it, so he picked her up and used his body to help her keep warm and block the wind.

"I miss you." Song Jianing leaned on his shoulder and said softly. Thinking that he would leave tomorrow morning, she endured the tears that had been waiting for a long time and slowly floated up.

Two words, already with a crying voice, Zhao Heng tightened his arms and speeded up his pace to return to the room.

It is said that children leave their parents because of separation of flesh and blood. That night, Song Jianing became Zhao Heng's bones and Zhao Heng's flesh, clinging to him tightly, trying to blend into him and walk with him.

"Prince, come back early..." When she was exhausted, Song Jianing lay in his ear and begged vaguely. Before he could part, he hoped that he would return early and be safe.

"Okay." Zhao Heng pressed his hot side face with a low voice, "An An wait for me, soon."
