Yun Chu's eyebrows were heavy.
She said coldly: "Immediately pass on the order. The prefects and county magistrates of all cities near Ningzhou must control the people under their rule..."
The government order was passed down in half a day, but the prefects and county magistrates could not control the people at all.
As soon as they heard that the nectar given by the Goddess of Heaven could cure all diseases, the people went crazy and dragged their families to find the nectar given by the Goddess of Heaven.
When the people in the capital heard about this, they were also moved.
"Have you heard that there is a heavenly goddess in Ningzhou? As long as you drink the nectar she bestows, the plague will be cured without medicine. People who do not suffer from the plague can also get rid of their illnesses. It is really amazing."
"Anyway, Ningzhou is not far from the capital. Why don't we also go and ask for some nectar to drink? If we don't drink, it will be nothing."
"Didn't you see that the imperial court issued a decree that you are not allowed to go to Ningzhou blindly? You need to open a legal document before you can go. If you resist the decree, you will be arrested."
"Why doesn't the court allow us ordinary people to go?"
At this time, a group of scholars also participated in the discussion.
"Why not let me go? Of course it's because everything about this is weird."
"For such a serious plague, the doctors are helpless. Is it possible that a sip of nectar can cure it?"
"There are now hundreds of thousands of people gathered in Ningzhou. With so many people, eating, drinking, and defecation will be a problem, and something will definitely happen."
Ordinary people who have not read much have different concepts than scholars.
"Because the nectar was given by the Goddess of Heaven, who is a goddess in the sky. Of course it can cure the plague."
"If I have the chance, I will definitely go to Ningzhou to ask for a sip of nectar. My old mother has been blind all her life. I hope she can see the sight again."
"My son was born in poor health. I also want to take him to the Goddess to give him nectar. As long as he can take a sip, I have nothing else to ask for..."
“……”
Just when the common people were talking about it.
News came from Ningzhou again.
"Reporting to the Queen Mother, the Lord of Ningzhou, King Cheng, brought all his followers and the so-called Goddess of Heaven to the capital. He was still distributing nectar along the way, attracting countless people to follow him. The number has exceeded 200,000. Everyone!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the court was shocked.
Two hundred thousand people is not a small number.
You know, there are only 200,000 soldiers stationed in the Western Border, and the total number of soldiers attacking the Dongling Kingdom is only a little over 200,000.
Two hundred thousand civilians is really a huge number, enough to put everyone in the DPRK feeling tremendous pressure.
"King Cheng led an army of 200,000 to attack the capital. This is a rebellion!"
"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, please quickly mobilize your troops and generals to force back King Cheng's rabble!"
Yun Chu pinched his tiger's mouth and started thinking.
Those 200,000 people are all ordinary people. Although there are many people, their fighting power is not strong.
There are 30,000 troops stationed in the capital, and one can fight ten. In other words, even if there is a real fight, the capital will not suffer.
However, the opponent is an unarmed common people. If you defeat the common people, you will lose the support of the people. No matter you lose or win, the result will be a loss.
What King Cheng and Xie Shian are fighting is a battle for the hearts and minds of the people. In fact, as long as they fundamentally destroy the hearts and minds of the people, the matter will be easily solved. There is no need to use swords and guns to cause innocent killings.
She paused and said, "Since King Cheng has left Ningzhou with his people, we can arrange for people to go into the city to check for clues."
Master Qiu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: "What clue?"
"Lord Qiu is stupid." Chu Hongyu said, "That day the female empress must have been a fake person fabricated by King Cheng in order to win over the people. And the Tiannv empress became famous because of the plague, so the plague must also be fake. As long as the evidence is found, Isn’t this matter settled?”
Master Qiu was stunned: "Is the plague fake?"
It was only then that many people in the DPRK realized that the plague might be a hoax.
"General Xu, you will lead people to Ningzhou to search for clues." Yunchu said, "There are also Mr. Xiang and King Shun. They both wrote letters before, but they have lost news in the past two days. General Xu will inquire carefully. one time."
General Xu accepted the order and led his people to Ningzhou at high speed that day.
As soon as Yun Chu returned to Kangning Palace after the dynasty, Ting Shuang came to report: "The Queen Mother, Princess Yuan arrived half an hour ago and is in the flower hall. Do you want to meet her now?"
Yun Chu pinched his eyebrows and said, "Let her come in."
Concubine Yuan was the biological mother of the sixth prince, Prince Cheng. Ever since Prince Cheng was driven away to his fiefdom by the late emperor, Concubine Yuan had calmed down and had not caused any trouble.
Only during some large banquets in the palace would Princess Yuan show up to attend.
At this moment, she came in dressed plainly and said with a frightened look on her face: "Queen Mother, although Lao Liu is usually very naughty, he has grown a lot since he went to the fiefdom. It is absolutely impossible for him to rebel... He doesn't have the courage." , I don’t have that ability, please ask the Queen Mother for advice.”
Yun Chu said softly: "King Cheng has brought 200,000 heads to attack the capital, and he still doesn't have the guts?"
"He, he...he was giving nectar to the people, yes, giving nectar!" Princess Yuan said hurriedly, "Lao Liu also wanted to control the plague and appease the people. This was for the sake of the Chu family. The Queen Mother is a thousand Don’t be deceived by those in the court, I can swear that Lao Liu has no intention of treason!”
Yun Chu saw that Princess Yuan had no knowledge of what King Cheng did, and no one in the Yuan family was involved.
But if you don’t participate now, it doesn’t mean you won’t participate in the future.
"The Purple Dream Palace in the palace is still empty. Concubine Yuan will move in temporarily." Yun Chu said softly, "Concubine Yuan would be bored living in such a big palace alone. The Ai family will bring everyone in the Yuan family to accompany them. The concubine relieves her boredom."
Concubine Yuan was stunned, and then she suddenly understood and said sharply: "Queen Mother, what do you mean? My Yuan family has not committed any crime, why do you want to arrest us..."
"If the Ai family really wants to arrest the Yuan family, they will put them in the dungeon instead of inviting them to stay in the palace." Yun Chu took a sip of tea and said, "When the king's affairs are over, the Ai family will naturally let go of the Yuan family. .”
"No!" Concubine Yuan yelled, "Queen Mother, you can't do this! I am your elder after all, you can't treat me like this! You let me go find Lao Liu, I am his mother-in-law, I will persuade him, Let him take people back to Ningzhou, and he will definitely listen to me!"
Yunchu put down the cup: "Come here, take the concubine down."
Two stout nuns walked into the yard and held down Concubine Yuan's shoulders.
"Let go, even a bunch of cheap slaves dare to touch me!" Princess Yuan said angrily, "It is extremely unfilial to treat me like this. I will have all the officials impeach you!"
Yun Chu waved her hand, she was too busy and didn't have time to talk to Princess Yuan.
The two nuns took Concubine Yuan down.
Yunchu closed his eyes and sorted through all the recent events in his mind.
With the help of Chief Li as a lobbyist, most of the neutral factions in the court were willing to jointly remove the regent.
But now, a goddess has appeared, so we can only resolve the matter first, and then concentrate on dealing with the regent Chu Rui.
