Wunan Mansion.

This is the capital of Shanxi Road.

It is also the seat of government of King Yan.

Several hundred miles west of Wunan Mansion was the fiefdom of King Lu.

Several hundred miles to the south is the fiefdom of King Anqing.

Inside the Palace of Prince Yan.

The lights are brightly lit at the moment.

"Xing Jiarong, tell me, what should I do?"

King Yan looked at the secret letter in his hand and looked extremely hesitant.

Sitting opposite him was his number one confidant, doctor Xing Jiarong.

This is the secret message that King Yan received yesterday.

From the hand of King Jin.

The general meaning is to ask the King of Yan to raise troops.

The Qing Dynasty sided with the emperor and punished the rebellious party.

At the same time, something was also mentioned in the secret letter.

King Lu has already agreed to raise the army, and he can set off immediately after the preparations for food, grass and weapons are completed.

And this was where King Yan was troubled.

King Lu had more soldiers and horses than him.

If he doesn't agree, how can he be tolerated when King Jin and others succeed in the future?

Take ten thousand steps back.

Now that the imperial court's policy of cutting down vassals is vigorous, will he be able to live comfortably for the rest of his life?

There is still a glimmer of hope in resisting the imperial court.

If you don't resist, you will most likely die without a burial place.

King Yan was a very indecisive person, and he had not made up his mind for two full days.

"Your Majesty."

"According to my subordinates' opinion, we should join forces with King Jin to take action, but..."

Xing Jiarong, who had a mustache, pondered for a moment and then continued, "We currently have only 20,000 troops and horses that are directly controlled by the king. The remaining 10,000 troops and horses are in the hands of General Dong Zhiqiang. There is a high probability that General Dong will not

Will you agree to the King’s uprising?”

"There is also Li Zhongcheng. Many of our officials are his disciples. I'm afraid there will be difficulties..."

Although Xing Jiarong is a dog-headed strategist, the problem he mentioned is also the most difficult problem at present.

Dong Zhiqiang is the brother-in-law of King Yan.

He is a very patriotic young man. Like King Yan's father Dong Liang, both father and son are pro-emperor.

In their world view, the emperor is the one they need to be loyal to.

Dong Zhiqiang has a good relationship with many generals.

At the same time, Dong Zhiqiang was also a student of Zhongcheng Li Ming.

Li Ming is a typical pro-emperor faction.

Today, many noble families still support the imperial power.

Even if King Yan were to revolt now, Li Ming and the Dong family would be the most troublesome. They would definitely not support King Yan's rebellion.

"What Aiqing said is true..." King Yan sighed, "My father-in-law and brother-in-law are pedantic people, and the old guy Li Ming is also the same, but if Gu Ruo doesn't follow the King of Jin to make trouble, they will have nothing to do with it.

Can you let me go?"

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, why not..." Xing Jiarong squinted his eyes and whispered, "How about your Majesty hold a Hongmen Banquet, let the swordsmen and axemen ambush on both sides of the hall, and your Majesty throw a cup as a sign, and win Li Li in one fell swoop.

Ming and others, as for the king’s father-in-law..."

"We can first put them under house arrest and take back some of the military power in Dong Zhiqiang's hands."

"When things are done, they will definitely understand the king's painstaking efforts..."

Having said that, Dong Zhiqiang stopped talking and quietly waited for King Yan's decision.

This plan is not very clever.

It's a trick used in ancient times.

I saw King Yan pacing around. The next moment, he seemed to have made some kind of decision. He gritted his teeth and said, "That's it. We will take action tomorrow night. In addition, you quickly send someone to send a message to King Lu, saying that Gu has decided to rise with him."

Let him help Gu Gu..."

After all, Dong Zhiqiang has 10,000 city guards in his hands.

Just in case, King Yan decided to ask King Lu to send someone to help.

It's a pity that he forgot the fact that King Lu was more timid than him.

"promise!"

"I excuse myself."

Xing Jiarong bowed and retreated.

That night.

Xing Jiarong sent someone to summon King Lu.

And he walked with three or two friends and entered the largest fireworks place in Wunan Prefecture, ready to relax.

Xing Jiarong was a popular figure because he was highly valued by King Lu and had great power.

On weekdays, he has been suppressed by Li Ming's party. Today, he knows that Li Ming and others will be punished tomorrow, so he naturally wants to celebrate.

"Everyone, let me tell you, after tomorrow, things will change in Wunan Mansion..." Xing Jiarong was a little drunk, holding a scantily clad woman in his arms, bragging to his colleagues.

Suddenly, he seemed to feel that he had said the wrong thing, and immediately swallowed the rest of his words.

Several friends around him looked at each other and seemed to have noticed something unusual.

After everyone is done enjoying themselves.

A friend of Xing Jiarong immediately arrived at Dong Liang's house.

"Mr. Dong, this news is absolutely true, you must be careful..."

"I had expected the news you mentioned. King Yan has indeed been unusual these past two days..."

"You have done a good job. We must not sit back and watch the King of Yan rebel and let the people be in dire straits."

"Everything depends on Mr. Dong."

Although this young scholar was a good friend of Xing Jiarong, he was also passionate.

Furthermore, he was able to get to where he is today because of a lot of help from the Dong family and his sons.

Sometimes, people's values ​​​​can determine the direction of some things.

After the young man leaves.

Dong Liang, who had gray temples, looked at his son Dong Zhiqiang and said, "Qiang'er, you must be fully prepared tomorrow to protect Mr. Li Ming, and be prepared to kidnap the rebel king!"

"Yes, father." Dong Zhiqiang responded, and then said, "Do you want to report this matter to His Highness the King of Han?"

Today, Jin Yiwei has already arrived.

And secretly met with the Dong family and his son.

The father and son also made a guarantee to Jin Yiwei that they would not join the rebellion with King Yan.

Unexpectedly, things happened so quickly.

"Let me report it." Dong Liang thought for a while and said sadly, "Your brother-in-law has no ambition and makes mistakes every step of the way. We must not let him continue to make mistakes, by the way..."

Dong Liang seemed to have thought of something. He looked at his son and said, "You are responsible for the defense of Wunan Mansion. When His Highness arrives tomorrow, you must keep the news of His Highness's arrival secret."

"Okay, I understand, kid."

Dong Zhiqiang nodded and immediately left to find the Jin Yiwei at his residence.

It's still dark.

Guo Tianyi received the latest information.

"interesting.."

"The Dong family father and son are really patriotic people."

"You will be rewarded heavily afterwards."
