Chapter 183: All parties are shocked, the thoughts of the northern barbarians! (Subscribe)

As word spread of Lin Zhongyun's attitude towards the aristocratic families, everyone was shocked, just like a calm lake being thrown into a huge rock, causing an uproar.

No one had expected that Lin Zhongyun's attitude would be so resolute that he dared to intimidate the noble families and refuse them entry. Didn't he worry that these people would turn to Daqian?

Does Lin Zhongyun really have such confidence?
For a moment, everyone was in a panic and talked about it.

"King Wu is kind and righteous. We finally followed the right person!"

"That's right, the aristocratic families have always oppressed us, and it's time for them to pay the price!"

"That's right, we fully support King Wu's decision."

For the rebel army, everyone supported King Wu's approach. Lin Zhongyun's prestige in their hearts was even greater, and the morale of the army was more united.

The reason they have come this far is that they all come from poor backgrounds. In the past, they have all been oppressed by the aristocratic families to varying degrees. Now that the aristocratic families are under such pressure, King Wu can be said to have vented their anger. How can they not be happy?
Of course, there were also some people who were panic-stricken, with extremely solemn and worried expressions.

"Isn't it too bold to reject the aristocratic family?" Some people couldn't help but shake their heads, finding it difficult to understand Lin Zhongyun's approach.

"Does the rebel army really have such confidence? Aren't they afraid that Daqian, with the support of the aristocratic families, will make a comeback?" another person said worriedly.

"Well, this is still too risky after all. Even if we want to take action against the aristocratic families, we shouldn't do it at this time!" sighed an old man.

"Yes, we are too impatient after all. We can wait until the country is completely unified before doing this." Everyone agreed.

Many people couldn't help but shake their heads and found it difficult to agree with Lin Zhongyun's actions.

Not to mention that there are external forces surrounding them now, just doing this is tantamount to pushing those aristocratic families into the arms of Daqian, isn't it?

Is it really a good idea to make enemies everywhere at such a critical moment?

No matter how hard they racked their brains, they could not understand the reason and significance of Lin Zhongyun's actions.

……

at the same time,

In the northern border town, the mighty northern barbarian army has stationed throughout the northern border, ready for battle.

At this time, the news that Lin Zhongyun took the initiative to reject the kindness of the aristocratic family also spread here.

When the Northern Barbarian Khan Chagan Wuli heard the news, he was overjoyed. His hawk-like eyes sparkled with excitement, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to be smoothed out, revealing a rosy face. He stood up suddenly, too excited to control himself: "Haha! Lin Zhongyun, you are really courting death! By rejecting the aristocratic family, you are weakening the enemy for us Northern Barbarians! God help me!"

His voice was extremely loud, full of joy and pride.

You know, since the battle of Yunfu City, the rebel army has completely replaced Daqian's position in his heart.

Therefore, he had lost his appetite for several days, and had been a refugee all night, feeling extremely anxious.

This anxiety came from his excitement of having set foot in the Central Plains and completing a great cause that all previous Khans had failed to accomplish, and also from Lin Zhongyun's army, which had frequently defeated the strong with the weak.

He is a little scared now.
He was afraid that he would fail, and if that happened, he, Beiman, would miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

More importantly, according to Lin Zhongyun's character, if he ascended the throne, where would the Northern Barbarians be? How could the Northern Barbarians have a good life?
The answer is self-evident, which means that they are now not only fighting for the Northern Barbarians’ hundreds of years of dreams, but also for their future.

It was precisely because of all this pressure that he felt extremely frightened.

However, Lin Zhongyun's move now relieved his pressure.

You know, although Lin Zhongyun stabilized the morale of the army by doing this, it also meant that he pushed the aristocratic families to the opposite side of him and created more enemies.

The influence of the aristocratic families in Daqian is not insignificant. If they do not support the rebel army, then they can only support Daqian. This means that the rebel army will have to face two forces at the same time, which will undoubtedly reduce a lot of pressure on the Northern Barbarians.

At the same time, the middle-aged Confucian scholar who had been standing aside had a calm and composed look.

He slowly put down the secret report in his hand, without any surprise or fluctuation in his eyes, as if all this was within his expectations.

In fact, he had long known that the rebel army would have such a day, but from the day the rebel army rose up, it was destined that they could not accommodate the existence of the aristocratic families.

At that time, he was still considering what choice Lin Zhongyun would make.

Will you choose to accept or reject?
The result is out now, but no matter what, the decision made by Lin Zhongyun will only benefit his Northern Barbarians and will not cause any harm.

However, he was somewhat surprised by Lin Zhongyun's courage in making such a quick decision. If they were not serving different masters, he would have wanted to meet this thief Lin.

But even so, looking at the happy Chagan Uli in front of him, he still said in a deep voice: "Khan, Lin Zhongyun is doing this out of helplessness. After all, if he accepts the noble family, I am afraid that his rebel army will be the first to rebel."

"In fact, I hope that Lin Zhongyun will choose to accept it. In that case, my Northern Barbarians will have a better chance. But it is precisely because of this that we should not underestimate that thief Lin."

"Ok!"

Listening to the words of the middle-aged Confucian scholar, Chagan Uli nodded, and his excitement subsided a little.

He knew that it took great courage for Chagan Wuli to do this. From this point of view alone, Lin Zhongyun was not an opponent that could be underestimated. "In this case, how should we respond now?"

"Our troops haven't gathered yet, it's not a good time to start a war!"

The middle-aged scholar smiled slightly, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly: "Khan, Lin Zhongyun's rejection of the noble family has certainly united the army, but it has undoubtedly provided a great opportunity for our Northern Barbarians.

Although Daqian is trapped now, it is different now with those noble families. The little emperor must be unwilling to accept this. If possible, we can completely eliminate Lin Zexu, who is a big trouble. "

"Eliminate the forest thieves first?"

When Chagan Wuli heard the middle-aged scholar's words, he raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion: "Do you mean to cooperate with Daqian?"

"good.

If you ask who hates Lin the most right now, it must be the little emperor. "

The middle-aged scholar put his hands behind his back and continued calmly, "All his previous actions have shown that the little emperor has reached the end of his rope. He will definitely not refuse our request at this time."

"This way, we can not only get rid of Lin the bandit, but also weaken the power of the Daqian court. Why not kill two birds with one stone?" After hearing this, Chagan Wuli smiled even more. "Okay, let's do as you say. But who should we send as the envoy at this time?"

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I already have a candidate in my mind." The middle-aged Confucian scholar smiled. Since he dared to say this, it meant that he already had the best candidate in his mind.

……

At the same time, in Hanzhou, the capital of Daqian.

The once bustling streets of Kyoto were now deserted, with every household keeping their doors and windows closed. The once bustling streets were now deserted, with only the occasional sound of the wind breaking the silence.

All the people dared not go out. They were trembling with fear, and every tree and bush seemed to be an enemy.

Although the crackdown on corrupt officials a few days ago gave them a glimmer of hope, the sudden wealth also made them feel an unprecedented sense of luxury.

But gradually, as the rebels outside refused to retreat, the cold and murderous atmosphere inevitably spread here, weighing on everyone's heart.

Because of the previous punishment of corrupt officials, they gained unprecedented wealth, but now all this wealth has become useless and can’t buy anything. What is the use of this wealth?

As time goes by, the excitement brought by wealth will eventually become dull, and will be replaced by endless fear and trembling.

It’s nothing, my life is in danger!
In the Qianqing Palace, all the ministers were silent and taciturn.

At this moment, a minister's face was as pale as paper, and his eyes were full of worry. He cupped his hands helplessly, and his voice was trembling: "Your Majesty, these days, the people are like frightened birds, and the grass and trees are like enemies. The people's hearts are in turmoil, like boiling soup. If this continues, the country will no longer be a country. What should we do?"

"I know!"

Liu Wulie sat on the dragon throne, his figure hunched over. He slowly raised his hand and supported his increasingly painful forehead. His eyes, which had once sparkled, had now become dim.

His heart was filled with helplessness, and he sighed deeply, as if he wanted to expel all his sorrows with this breath. He supported his increasingly painful forehead and sighed helplessly.

The people's hearts are unstable and the country's foundation is unstable.

He knew better than anyone what this meant.
He also knew that this was not a solution.

But does he have a better solution now?
If we take the initiative to attack now, it will definitely be a dead end.

Instead of that, it is better to continue to survive like this, maybe there is still room for a turnaround.

"These are extraordinary times, and we need to use extraordinary measures."

He waved his sleeves, took a deep breath, tried to dispel the feeling of powerlessness in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Pass the order down. From now on, all grain shops will be closed down. All granaries must be controlled by the government, and the government will distribute the surplus grain every day. We must ensure that the people's hearts are stable and the foundation of the country is not shaken."

"Now all we have to do is make sure they have enough food to eat. As for the rest, it's just wishful thinking!"

Up to now, he could only think of this solution which was not a solution.

Fortunately, Hanzhou is the granary of the world and has accumulated a lot of grain over the years, otherwise there would have been a real famine at that time, not to mention continuing to hold on.

However, compared with these details, Lin Zhongyun and the rebel army's affairs are the most important in their hearts.

"Okay, let's discuss this later. Is there any news from the rebels?" Liu Wulie's voice revealed a trace of fatigue and helplessness. His face was haggard, and his eyes were full of worry.

Now, he only has the title of emperor, but not the real emperor. And he doesn't know how long he can keep the title of emperor.

Speaking of this, the minister who had a bitter face before suddenly became extremely excited. He almost jumped up and reported excitedly: "Your Majesty, according to the spies, I heard that the thief Lin killed the envoys sent by the major families. This is our chance!"

These words were like a spring thunder, instantly breaking the gloomy atmosphere in the hall.

Liu Wulie's body trembled slightly, and a bright light suddenly burst out from his originally dull eyes. An indescribable surprise surged in his heart, as if he saw a ray of light in the darkness.

This was the only good news he had heard in recent days since the rebel army surrounded the entire Hanzhou.

Not only Liu Wulie, but also all the civil and military officials in the court were inspired by this. Originally, they all wanted to die quietly.

But now they see hope, hope that they don't have to die.

Liu Wulie's emotions instantly rose, the haze on his face was swept away, and a chill flashed in his eyes. He murmured to himself: "Lin Zhongyun, Lin Zhongyun, you finally fell into my trap."

He had anticipated this outcome.

Lin Zhongyun's move was undoubtedly to cut off his own retreat. He clearly rejected those aristocratic families and even forced them to give up their huge wealth.

Even an ordinary person knows that this is impossible.

What surprised him the most was that Lin Zhongyun not only rejected the aristocratic families, but also forced them to give up the wealth they had accumulated over hundreds of years. This was something he had not expected.

He originally thought that it would be enough for Lin Zhongyun to reject the noble family.
However, didn't this intimidation just push those people to his side?
This saved him a lot of effort. In this way, Lin Zhongyun could be said to have helped him from the edge of the cliff.

What he didn't know was that Lin Zhongyun did this for no other reason than his endless hatred for the aristocratic families and his disdain for associating with them.

If the aristocratic families want to resist, considering the situation in the world, they can only rely on themselves.

It won’t be long before those noble families who once sneered at him will come to him for help again, and he will then take the initiative.

With the support of these noble families, everything will be different and things will take a turn for the better. As long as he is given enough time, he can save everything. He will become the savior of Daqian instead of the king who destroys his country.

"Humph!"

Thinking of this, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he shouted in a low voice: "One day, I will cut you into pieces to relieve the hatred in my heart."

At this moment, the change in attitude of the aristocratic families gave him hope, the hope of a turnaround.

His back straightened involuntarily, and his originally haggard face glowed with a hint of rosiness. He seemed to see the day when he would stand at the top of the empire again, and saw those who had betrayed him, crawling at his feet one by one.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the door: Your Majesty, King Liu Jiuren of Zhenbei wants to see you...

Ps: I beg for monthly tickets, and I beg you brothers to support me! It’s the end of the month! I really beg you!!
