Died of old age, and you tell me this is a life simulation?

In fact, if everything had gone as he had imagined beforehand, with the four evil men gathered together and with the help of the Wanjie Valley, he would not have acted so dangerously.

But unfortunately, he is now all alone.

There's nothing I can do, nothing I can do. This is all I can do.

Fortunately, the chips in his hand are important enough.

If the brothers Duan Zhengming and Duan Zhengchun don't want their bloodline to be cut off, they should obey.

Duan Yanqing's eyes flickered as he thought to himself: If things go well, that's fine. But if not, hmph! If I can't get what I want, then you guys won't have an easy time either.

If they really angered him, he would personally deal with the Prince of Zhennan in the Tianlong Temple in Dali, making them regret it forever!

Duan Yanqing collected his thoughts and rushed forward.

A few days later, Dali City was already in sight.

Duan Yanqing did not enter the city. At this time, the Dali city guards were patrolling everywhere. His appearance with leg problems was very conspicuous. He was afraid that he would be discovered by Duan Zhengming as soon as he entered the city.

Now is the most critical moment.

He needs to adjust his condition to the best so that he can deal with the "tough battle" later.

He had been surrounded and attacked in the Wanjie Valley before, and suffered considerable injuries. He had not been able to fully recover just from traveling for the past few days.

In other words, whether it is internal or external injuries, they cannot be recovered in a short period of time.

He could only try his best to adjust.

Duan Yanqing had a premonition in his heart.

This time, either we can avenge our previous defeat and achieve complete success, or it will be a final act of madness.

In Dali City, inside the imperial palace.

Emperor Baoding paced around with a serious expression.

The Tubo Imperial Master will visit Tianlong Temple in three days.

He had heard that this person was well versed in Buddhism and martial arts, and now that he was visiting, it seemed like he had bad intentions...

At this time, everything is in chaos.

Yu'er was kidnapped by the four evil men again.

Even with Emperor Baoding's state of mind, he couldn't help feeling annoyed at this moment.

On the other hand, the Prince of Zhennan led his elite troops to the border of Dali, where he took charge of the local area and handled important military affairs in preparation for possible war.

While Dali was dealing with many issues related to the uprising, the Song Dynasty was also facing the flames of the uprising, which was extremely shocking.

For a time, the country was in an uproar!

At this time, in Bian Jing, inside the imperial palace.

The current emperor of the Song Dynasty, the so-called "Emperor Daojun" Zhao Ji, finally learned the news of the riot in the south of the Yangtze River.

Looking at the news recorded in the urgent report, Zhao Ji's palms trembled slightly, his head felt buzzing, and a trembling chill surged from his heart, almost making him unable to stand steadily.

When the eunuchs on both sides saw this, they immediately stepped forward to support him.

boom!

"Troublemakers! Traitors!"

Zhao Ji struggled to get free, pushing the books and memorials in front of him to the ground. His face flushed red, and he looked extremely angry. He almost gritted his teeth, and his original elegant demeanor was gone.

When Zhao Ji suddenly learned the urgent military intelligence report that was sent from 800 miles away, he could hardly believe his eyes.

Under his rule, a riot unprecedented in the history of the Song Dynasty broke out in the prosperous Song Dynasty!

Most of Jiangnan was involved in the rebellion!

This is simply... too much!

These unruly people! These unruly people! How dare they! ! !

What he couldn't accept the most was that it had only been a short time, and most of Jiangnan had been swept away!

Where are the local officials and soldiers? What have they been up to? Why aren't they resisting the rebels?

Even if they had closed the city gates tightly and refused to leave, they wouldn't have been captured to this extent! ?

In response to the question, one of the officials whispered, "The rebellion arose suddenly, with so many people responding, and the momentum was like a raging fire. The local troops may not have been able to react in time, so..."

"waste!"

Zhao Ji's eyes were red as he cursed, "They're all trash! A bunch of good-for-nothings! What use do they have to the court? They were actually attacked by a bunch of peasants! How despicable!"

This rare loss of composure by the Song Dynasty official was not only due to the weakening of the combat effectiveness of the garrison troops in various parts of Jiangnan, but also because the counties and prefectures in various places were extremely poor in responding to the rebellion.

Of course, he didn't know the specific situation of the Jiangnan riot, but based on the information presented in the 800-mile urgent report, it was easy to imagine that in just one month, the rebellion almost overturned the entire Jiangnan.

To put it bluntly, Zhao Ji felt that even if a pig was put in the position of those officials, it might be more useful than them.

I've never seen anything so outrageous!

Zhao Ji even seriously suspected that the noble families and powerful clans in various parts of Jiangnan had long had rebellious intentions.

They could either add fuel to the flames, surrender the city, or even directly participate in it...

Otherwise, it is impossible to explain the horror of this riot!

after all......

How capable can a group of peasants be?

Even if the local armies were weaker, it wouldn't be like this.

Zhao Ji was breathing rapidly. Besides the anger in his heart, he also felt an uncontrollable panic and fear.

The momentum of this rebellion is indeed too terrifying!

It was so big that it might spread from Jiangnan to the entire south. If it could not be suppressed in time, would his Song Dynasty be destroyed?

Do not!

Zhao Ji was shocked, his heart was pounding, and he dared not think about it any further.

He looked at the ministers in front of him and said urgently: "Immediately mobilize the imperial guards and march south with all their strength to suppress the rebellion!!"

The ministers also knew that the situation was critical and did not dare to delay.

However, the imperial court has its own operating system, and it is not possible to immediately dispatch the imperial guards just by saying so.

Moreover, before the army sets out, all kinds of military equipment, food and other supplies need to be collected in advance.

It involves all institutions and all aspects.

It is not something that can be completed in a short period of time.

After venting his anger, Zhao Ji finally calmed down a little. He sat there in a daze for a while, and suddenly thought of something. He took the urgent report and read it carefully again, and then took the investigation letter from the Imperial City Bureau to read it.

His expression gradually froze, and he stared intently at the name written above.

"Fang Han!"

Zhao Ji gritted his teeth, anger rising from his heart.

He had heard of this person before.

In the past two or three years, his reputation was well-known.

At first, the evaluation of him by the government and the people was that he was a great sage in opposition.

The "Barefoot Medical Records" he wrote includes countless treatment methods, folk remedies, and local prescriptions, which are effective and have saved countless lives. He can be called a medical saint!

Zhao Ji was initially quite happy that such a figure had emerged under the rule of the Song Dynasty, and thought that this was due to his good governance.

Knowing that he was an extremely skilled doctor, Zhao Ji even considered recruiting him into the palace as an imperial physician to take care of the health of this Song Dynasty emperor.

This good feeling lasted until about half a month ago.

Because of the news from the Imperial City Department:

Over in the south of the Yangtze River, for unknown reasons, all sorts of outrageous prophecies suddenly arose.

What "Shennong appears, the sage king!"

What's this "One dot on the head, and you'll become the emperor!"

Or maybe it was a nursery rhyme that implicitly mocked the fact that his ancestors of the Song Dynasty came to power in an illegitimate way. All these rhymes were circulated everywhere and were simply horrifying!

It was at that moment that Zhao Ji's impression of Han, the so-called opposition sage, plummeted to the freezing point.

He didn't know whether those prophecies really referred to this person, nor did he know whether the source of the prophecies was this person.

But none of that matters!

The important thing is that this person must die!

The moment these prophecies appeared in the world, there was no doubt about it!

As the emperor of the Song Dynasty, he would not allow anyone to dare to interfere with the mandate of heaven and threaten the existence of imperial power.

Even if he didn't think so, he didn't think that a mere doctor could have the ability to rebel.

but......

As long as there is such a clue, even if there is only a slight possibility, he will nip it in the bud!

Otherwise, how can we demonstrate the majesty of the imperial power and the laws of the court?

How to deter those ambitious people! ?

What's more, when Zhao Ji was reviewing the relevant investigation files, he found that Fang Han had great reputation among the people and the government.

This further intensified Zhao Ji's fear.

In fact, Zhao Ji knew about this matter before the prophecy appeared, but at that time, he did not take it to heart.

It's normal to cultivate desire.

But this time is different from that time. At the moment when those prophecies appear, all possible threats, even those that do not exist, will be infinitely magnified.

The more fearful Zhao Ji became, the more determined he became to get rid of him as soon as possible.

Even if this causes some criticism and complaints from the public, it doesn't matter.

Besides, he had never thought of taking action himself. He was the emperor of the Song Dynasty and there was no need for him to do anything that would embarrass him. He only needed to give a hint or two, and there would be countless people in the court who would understand his intentions and fight for him.

At that time, he would just kill this person and be done with it. Even if it caused a few complaints from the people, it would have nothing to do with him and would not affect his image of wisdom.

If it really doesn't work, just send away those who are fighting at the forefront, and the situation will always be calmed down.

Zhao Ji had a very clear plan, but what he never expected was...

Nearly half a month had passed, and there was no movement at all in the court.

Did no one understand what he meant?

It's impossible. The literati are always politically astute and good at guessing the intentions of their superiors. He showed such disgust, it's impossible that he didn't understand.

The reason behind this is actually very common.

Zhao Ji could see that killing Fang Han without authorization might arouse resentment among the people. How could those ministers, who were all very smart, not see it?

This is a matter of bad luck for whoever encounters it.

If something goes wrong, life or death is unpredictable!

Or the kind that will be criticized by people all over the world after death!

In this case, it is naturally impossible for them to take the initiative to express their opinions.

Unless your government personally proposes it, don't expect them to take over.

Not even a statement was made.

Of course, in addition to these, there are definitely people who ignore the risks for the sake of flattery, but if they want to be targeted, they are not the kind of existence that can be judged by common sense.

Some actions disappear before they even reach their destination.

So, what Zhao Ji saw was deathly silence.

What he never expected was that before he had time to respond, he received urgent news of the Jiangnan riot just half a month later.

At this moment, Zhao Ji was upset, but he could only be furious!
