Li Changqing, acting commander of the Third Field Army, retreated in great strides, ceding a large area to the invading wolf cavalry.
?The mighty wolf cavalry successively occupied Daling Province and Wuyuan Province in the northern part of the empire, and their troops pointed directly at Pingyang Province and Baishan Province.
Facing the news of the continuous loss of land on the front line, the people of the empire were also in an uproar.
We must know that the Far East Empire established its country by force, relying on one after another war, it played a national prestige, military prestige and arrogance.
The common people are proud of the people of the Far East, and they are full of admiration and admiration for the Far East's army. They feel that the Far East's army is invincible.
But now seeing the empire losing large tracts of land and towns one after another, and abandoning countless people to the enemy, they are naturally filled with righteous indignation.
Vigorous protests also broke out in Qinghe Province, Hezhong Province, Imperial Capital, and Hexi Province in the Far East.
"Li Changqing is a traitor!"
"Li Changqing is a traitor!"
"The Third Field Army should be severely punished for losing ground!"
"Remove Li Changqing from his post and punish him severely!"
"There are enemy spies hidden in the imperial court!"
"We can no longer retreat, every inch of land must be fought for!"
Facing all kinds of rumors, the people were also full of anger. They took to the streets and protested angrily.
Large-scale protests were staged in various towns, and they vented their strong dissatisfaction.
"Your Majesty, officials from all over the country are reporting urgently. A large number of people are protesting fiercely that the third field army fled without fighting. Now the people are full of resentment. They demand that Commander Li Changqing be severely punished."
Large-scale protests broke out among the people everywhere, and Qin An, who was the rotating chief, also reported to Chen Ziang immediately.
"The strategic retreat is a decision of the imperial court. It is understandable for the people to see the imperial provinces fall one by one without knowing the inside story."
Chen Ziang said with a smile: "Since there are so many people who stand up to protest against our loss of land, it means that the people in the empire are patriotic. If they are not patriotic, they will look on coldly and will not stand up to protest."
"Your Majesty, even though that's what you said, the protests have intensified now. In Hexi, Hezhong Province and other places, there have even been some bad incidents of vandalism and looting."
"Now some people even start to slander the imperial court, saying that the imperial court is full of people who are greedy for life and fear of death, and want the Qing emperor to side"
"Weichen is worried that if the people's hearts cannot be stabilized quickly, it will inevitably cause greater chaos and losses."
Qin An, as the head of the general affairs department on duty, assists Chen Ziang in taking charge of various affairs, and now he is also worried.
"The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop." Chen Ziang couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"Don't worry about this matter, I know it well."
Now that there are powerful enemies outside, the people are protesting that they retreated without a fight, and their dissatisfaction with the court is also increasing day by day. It is indeed a difficult matter, but Chen Ziang is not too worried. Everything is under his control.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Cao, the director of the Overwatch Council, and Mr. Du, the director of the Intelligence Investigation Institute, have arrived."
When Qin An reported to Chen Ziang that the people in various places were angry, Yuan Pu, the head of internal affairs, walked lightly to the front of the hall and reported to Chen Ziang.
"Ask them to come in."
After Yuan Pu responded, he invited Du Jian, the dean of the Intelligence and Investigation Institute, and Cao Shaowei, the dean of the Oversight Institute, who had arrived.
"Recently there has been quite a commotion outside, do you know about this?" Chen Ziang asked them.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the news of the fall of Daling Province and Wuyuan Province has aroused great indignation among the people everywhere. They stood up to protest one after another, demanding that Li Changqing be dismissed from his post as commander, and the ministers who surrendered to the court should be severely punished. I heard." Du Jian said.
"However, according to Weichen's investigation, someone is pushing behind it at this time." Du Jian analyzed.
Chen Ziang nodded approvingly: "Oh, tell me?"
"Your Majesty, this matter has rapidly fermented in various places in a short period of time. I feel that someone is behind the scenes. After our investigation, we have also gained some results."
"According to the information of our Intelligence Investigation Institute, some officials in some places who are dissatisfied with the imperial court have been bought by the Golden Account Royal Court. Faced with those prairie spies who incited the people's dissatisfaction with the imperial court, instead of appeasing them, they took tough measures. The measures to suppress it have backfired.??
"Now some people even say that the imperial court is cowardly and fearful of death, but they are ruthless against their own people and encourage people to stand up against the imperial court"
Du Jian glanced at Chen Ziang and said, "I suggest that those officials who have been bribed be brought to justice immediately."
After listening to Du Jian's words, Chen Ziang also nodded in satisfaction. Compared with before, Du Jian, the dean of the Intelligence Research Institute, is indeed much more mature.
In the past, Du Jian followed his orders to do things. He said that Du Jian did it.
Still haven't spoken yet, Du Jian has started to analyze and investigate the incident, and has gained a lot.
"For those officials who colluded with foreign enemies and tried to fight against the imperial court, let Jin Yiwei go, and they must not be lightly forgiven." Chen Ziang snorted coldly.
"As for the spies of the Golden Tent Royal Court who jumped out this time, your intelligence and investigation institute will deal with it and try to catch them all!"
"No!"
Du Jian, the dean of the Intelligence Research Institute, also responded loudly.
"The Overwatch Council has recently sent a lot of papers on impeachment, did you know that?"
After talking about Du Jian, Chen Ziang turned his attention to Cao Shaowei, the dean of the Overwatch Council, who was standing there.
"Have you read all the brochures handed over by your Overwatch Council recently?" Chen Ziang asked.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have read some."
Cao Shaowei didn't know what Chen Ziang wanted to say, so he could only answer vaguely.
"In the past few days, I have received more than five hundred impeachment papers from the Overwatch Council." Chen Ziang pointed to the pile of papers on the desk.
After Cao Shaowei heard this, he was also slightly surprised. He didn't expect there to be so many, which he didn't know.
"These papers include the impeachment of Li Changqing, the acting commander of the Third Field Army, and the impeachment of Song Zhi, the chief of the Ministry of Industry."
"They impeached Marshal Li Lang for self-respect, they impeached Yue Shan, the head of the Ministry of Punishment, for using torture, and they impeached Master Qin for abusing his power"
Chen Ziang pointed at the large stack of impeachment memorials, and sneered again and again.
"The Overwatch Council is responsible for supervising officials at all levels, and it is true to speak for the common people. However, at this juncture, wantonly impeaching important officials of the imperial court is unavoidably sowing dissension and disturbing the public."
Chen Ziang stared at Cao Shaowei, the dean of the Overwatch Council standing there, and spoke word by word.
"If according to what they said, Li Changqing's third field army should fight to the death in every city. If they followed their style of play, the third army would have been wiped out long ago!" Chen Ziang raised his voice.
"The humble minister is not strict, and please make atonement, Your Majesty!"
Hearing the serious dissatisfaction in Chen Ziang's tone, Cao Shaowei couldn't help cursing the supervisory officials of the Supervisory Yuan secretly.
"I don't mean to blame you, but I just hope you go back and tell them, use your brains more, and don't catch wind and impeach, and be used as a gun¡ª" Chen Ziang snorted coldly.
The Overwatch Council has indeed contributed a lot to the empire's crackdown on corruption. Under their supervision, hundreds of officials in the empire are imprisoned for various problems every month.
Some officials of the Overwatch Council were promoted as a result, and their prestige among the common people also rose greatly, as if they had become a clean stream.
Now that the people are secretly incited by the enemy, they feel that someone in the court has surrendered and betrayed the country. Naturally, these officials of the Overwatch Council also pretend to speak for the people and impeach the important ministers of the court on the basis of rumors.
Some of them were used as guns, and some of them were purely for fame. If they could bring down an important minister, his reputation would be great.
This is also the reason why Chen Ziang was upset, because these people couldn't figure out the importance and made trouble at this time.
Now Chen Zi'ang specifically called Cao Shaowei, the director of the Overwatch Council, to go back and beat the officials of the Overwatch Council to make them use their brains.
