This is what is meant by "A mountain is not high, but its magic lies in the presence of immortals."

It’s not the depth of the water that makes it magical, but the presence of a dragon.

There is a Green Ox Immortal hiding at the dock of Beijing, so this place is blessed with outstanding people and beautiful scenery.

The people finally had a way to survive.

But the people far away in Shaanxi and Gansu were not so lucky.

The rebellion in Shaanxi and Gansu became more and more intense. After conquering the five counties of Shilou, Ningxiang, Jishan, Wenxi and Hejian, the rebel army gained victory in all directions and won victory after victory.

Taking advantage of the low water level of the Yellow River, the army easily broke through the Yellow River antenna, invaded Jin territory, and successively conquered Puzhou, Daning, and Yangcheng.

They still continued the tradition of fighting in all directions. The 100,000-strong army included hundreds of thousands of civilians. The marching team was huge. Wherever they passed, they ate up all the food and did not even leave any tree bark.

Then they dragged more people who had nowhere to find food and continued to flow to the next place.

The force is like locusts and the people are like hungry ghosts.

The government troops suffered defeat after defeat and retreated step by step.

The imperial court was greatly shocked and urgently summoned General Cao Wenzhao to lead 3,000 elite cavalry into the pass to quell the rebellion.

It has to be said that border troops are border troops.

They were a mere vegetable in front of the Di Lu, but in front of the Chuang army, they were like divine soldiers sent from heaven.

Cao Wenzhao traveled day and night, and upon entering Jin territory, he won two battles and two victories.

In the first battle, he used 2,000 cavalry to destroy two camps of the rebel army and beheaded more than 20,000 people.

In the second battle, he pursued the victory and defeated three camps of the rebel army with 3,000 cavalry, beheading more than 30,000 people.

Compared to the Lotus Sect Rebellion, which was significantly more organized, the Chuang Rebellion was more powerful, but its combat effectiveness was significantly lower.

The officials in the court finally breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the good news, but the situation in Dali was not over for the time being.

So Bai Tian tearfully accepted the grain and military pay that Wei Qiansui had plundered from Jiangnan to fill the treasury, which was once again infested with rats.

In the evening, they would go to various brothels, play the flute, twist their waists, and dance as usual. The place was full of guests, and they would discuss how to report Wei Qiansui, accusing him of excessive taxation and plunder in Jiangnan.

When the memorial was presented to the emperor, Wei Qiansui was so angry that his nose became crooked.

You bunch of bastards who talk nonsense all day long and don’t care what the soldiers fighting in the front eat and drink, you want to start a war, right?

I am the eunuch favored by the emperor and I am in a good position. How could I be afraid of you?

Without saying a word, he immediately retaliated by ordering his men to burn the "Donglin Academy" to the ground.

Where is Donglin Academy?

Lingshan of Buddhism and Kunlun of Taoism.

That is the spiritual holy land of Donglin literati.

I'll set it on fire and see what you can do.

My goodness, this is like stirring up a hornet's nest.

The battlefield ahead was bustling with the sound of clanging bells and banging, and it was even more lively in the court.

When the news reached the capital, the Donglin Party members were furious, especially the Qingliu faction.

Memorials flooded onto the imperial desk like a blizzard, three in a single day, almost burying the emperor.

An unprecedented court storm swept through the center.

Three people make a tiger, and gossip can melt gold. Although Wei Qiansui is powerful, the Donglin scholars are not pushovers.

Even if you are not from Donglin, you can't stand it.

Burning down the academy was a serious blow to culture and was unacceptable to scholars all over the world.

In their view, it can be compared with Emperor Zulong's "burning of books and burying of scholars".

When Wei Qiansui saw this situation, he was a little panicked and could only deny it to the death, insisting that Donglin was slandering him, and at the same time tried his best to divert the emperor's attention.

The emperor already favored Wei Qiansui, and since the war was going smoothly at the front, he was in a good mood. So he raised the board high and dropped it gently, fining Wei Qiansui only half a year's salary.

When the Donglin people saw this, they immediately gnashed their teeth in hatred.

Despite such a huge momentum and such a golden opportunity, they were still unable to overthrow Wei Zhongliang.

Well, then I won’t play anymore.

Turn the table!

So within a few days.

There was a splash from the boat on the palace lake, and the prince fell into the water.
