News came back from the border, but the Yao Palace secretly blocked all news about smoke bombs and special weapons.
Just a few days later, according to the emperor's decree, an additional 20,000 troops were sent to northern Xinjiang to quell the chaos.
All the ministers in the court thought that if the court sent 50,000 elite troops to suppress the remaining Xiongnu tribes of less than 30,000, they would be an immediate success.
But the result was beyond everyone's expectation. The 50,000-strong army was sent out, but it was only a draw with the opponent's 30,000-horse army, and it was still slightly invincible.
The two armies are confronting each other in Northern Xinjiang at a critical moment.
Civil strife suddenly broke out in the area not far north of the capital.
News came back that people in many counties in the North had smashed up county offices and robbed official warehouses. Among them, one place called Ya County was the most serious.
The conflict between officials and civilians has resulted in serious casualties, and public anger has suddenly arisen. If no measures are taken, the people will inevitably rise up.
The first person to receive this news was also Prince Yao. Such news was quite shocking.
"How could this happen? In the past few years, haven't the original Huns in the North been stabilized under our governance? How could such a large-scale turmoil suddenly break out?"
Chunfeng looked at the message he had just received in his hand, and felt a very bad feeling in his heart, as if something big was about to happen.
"It is certainly not an accident that such turmoil occurred at this time. Civil strife broke out during the war in Northern Xinjiang. It was obviously someone who deliberately caused it. But don't worry, I already have countermeasures here, don't worry!"
Baili Mochen looked at the letter in Chunfeng's hand, with the same expression on his face, but still comforted patiently.
"Yeah! I feel relieved to have you here."
Chunfeng nodded and looked at the man beside her gently. As long as he was here, she believed that all problems could be solved.
"By the way, regarding that smoke bomb, I made a new thing here. Maybe you can try it out."
After a pause, Chunfeng remembered the isolation mask he had just made today, and turned to Baili Mochen and said again.
"What good ideas do you have?"
Baili Mochen's eyes shone with surprise.
Every time she takes action, she will definitely help him solve big problems.
"Wait a minute~｜"
With a smile on his face, Chunfeng said to Baili Mochen, while calling Hanzhu outside the study.
"Hanzhu, bring the things in!"
After Chunfeng finished speaking, Hanzhu entered the study with a strange object in his hand.
Baili Mochen looked at the strange thing, his eyebrows tightened with confusion on his face, and he only had one thought in his mind.
His little princess is indeed unique. Every time she sits down, she is so amazing!
"This is..." Baili Mochen asked, pointing to the thing in Hanzhu's hand.
"This is my new idea, it's called a simple gas mask." Chunfeng picked up the mask that looked like an ugly pig's nose, and proudly showed off Mo Chen.
"Gas mask? Are you saying this can resist the poisonous gas emitted by that smoke bomb?"
Baili Mochen was really surprised this time and said with excitement.
Sure enough, he believed that his wife would have eternal life, and the little princess once again solved a problem for him.
"Well, this can't be said to be a complete defense. The specifics still depend on the actual application. My current experiments have shown good results. I have already asked people to speed up production and make a batch to send to the front line for a try. "
Chunfeng couldn't help but chuckle as he saw his man looking at him with admiration.
It’s not uncommon to see such a look on the face of the dignified Prince Yao!
"Well, as long as it works, that's fine. If you need anything, let Lan Yi go and buy it directly."
Baili Mochen didn't worry about whether it could be used or not.
Because in his eyes, his wife has never failed.
Chunfeng shook his head after listening to his words and smiled slightly.
"There is nothing to prepare. The materials used are all simple and common ones, which are all available in our business."
The production materials are just some breathable cotton, animal leather, and her own specially made thickened cardboard.
Wrap carefully selected activated charcoal and some Chinese medicine powder inside, sew it up, and a simple and convenient gas mask is ready.
Consider that smoke bombs are not only extremely irritating to the respiratory system, but even more irritating to the visual eyes.
Chunfeng directly sewed the latest glass on his eyes. Although the cost was slightly higher, it was necessary.
"It's all your fault!"
Baili Mochen hugged Chunfeng happily and gently kissed the broken hair on her forehead.
She always considers him like this, caring and thoughtful.
"Why bother? Why should we be like this between you and me? You should go to the palace quickly to discuss the riot with Yun Jin. This matter is of great importance and cannot be delayed without delay."
Chunfeng heard his warm words and sent him out of the study with a warm smile in his heart.
At present, the two of them did not care too much about the love between their children, and Baili Mochen quickly walked towards the palace.
As soon as the public situation was reported, the emperor issued an edict to several auxiliary ministers to go to the imperial study to discuss ways to quell the popular explosion.
In the royal study room, there was a lot of noise at the moment.
The reason is simply that several auxiliary ministers have different opinions.
Most of the old ministers who had always had a hostile attitude towards the Huns advocated war and emphasized the use of military means to suppress the mob.
The new group of capable ministers who believe in benevolent governance advocate focusing on appeasing the people.
Even if they are mobs, they are still the people of Tianan. How can the emperor's court use weapons against his own people
Faced with the arguments of the pacifier faction, the war faction used the pacification faction and then rioted to refute.
The pacifiers insisted that governing the country with benevolence was the way of a wise king, and they were very quarrelsome.
From lunch at noon until the lights dimmed and the crowds were quiet at night, we still did not get a precise result that everyone supported.
Baili Mochen watched all this silently, feeling as if an invisible big hand was tearing these people apart.
Finally, he slapped the table impatiently and said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow, the king will personally deal with the mob in the North!"
As soon as Baili Mochen said this, all the officials fell silent.
The whole imperial study room was so quiet that you could hear the needle drop.
"This matter will definitely be solved perfectly if Prince Yao takes action. Your Majesty, I second my opinion."
The atmosphere was slightly stagnant and embarrassing. Lord Protector He Renyu was the first to break the deadlock and immediately spoke to the young emperor above, saluting and reporting.
The invisible movements also reminded the ministers that now that the emperor is still here, they should not be too arrogant.
When the ministers heard this, they immediately felt sad. Just because of the mob, the two sides were arguing and lost their minds for a while.
At this moment, he came back to his senses, and with a look of panic on his face, they all bowed their heads to the young emperor and apologized.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have committed a disobedience before the Emperor. I deserve death!"
"My lords, there is no need to panic. You are just doing your best to serve the country. Even if you make small mistakes, it will not be a big deal!"
Upon hearing this, Baili Yunjin only looked at the ministers who were kneeling on the ground and spoke in a calm tone.
It was this light tone that made the ministers feel cold and uneasy.
