It is a pity that the one who conquered the great land of Wagang was not Zhai Rang, the king of the east, but Li Mi, the secret minister!
Before Zhai Rang was canonized as "East King" by Emperor Huangtai, he was named Dong Gong. Zhai Rang also liked others to call him Dong Gong instead of Dong Wang.
Nowadays, Li Mi is known as Mi Gong, and he himself does not deny that he has the potential to compete with Zhai Rang.
Therefore, there is a vague saying that there are two kings standing side by side in Wagang Village today.
At night, Wagang Village, located by the water, looks quiet and peaceful with the bright moon like the water and the sound of waves.
Among the continuous forest-like buildings, there is a magnificent and magnificent palace, with lights like daylight and countless elite soldiers and strong men guarding it.
In the palace, headed by Mi Gong Li Mi, more than a hundred Wagang civil servants and military generals gathered together, and the atmosphere was solemn and restless.
Wang Bodang, Xu Shiji, Fang Yanzao, Bing Yuanzhen, Jia Runfu, Yang Defang, Zheng Dedao, Zu Junyan and more than a dozen famous old Wagang generals, Zhennan general Wang Shichong's old subordinates Yang Wei, Wang Bian, Huo Ju, Liang De
, Dong Zhi and other famous former Sui generals.
Even Cheng Yuan Baobao of Wuyang County, who was originally a minister of the Sui Dynasty, Li Wenxiang, the leader of the Liyang Rebel Army, Zhang Sheng, the leader of the Huanshui Rebel Army, Zhao Junde, the leader of the Qinghe Rebel Army, and Hao Xiaode, the leader of the Pingyuan Rebel Army, were also in the palace, and they had obviously become Li Mi's confidants.
If Wu Xin were here, he would definitely agree with Li Mi's current lineup, because the above-mentioned people with names and surnames are all geniuses (those whose names will go down in history).
These people in the palace alone account for most of the important pillars of Wagang Village!
This is the ability of Li Mi. He was able to rise up in Wagang so quickly, and led the Wagang army to fight in the south and north, and conquered a vast territory and gained a great reputation. It is not a wasted reputation. At least in terms of recruiting talents, he is indeed outstanding.
, enough to beat Wu Xin's eighteen streets.
Of course, this also shows that the people in Wagang Village today are strong, civilized and martial.
"My lord! Now the time has matured. It is an excellent opportunity to force the palace to centralize power. The Eastern King is just a fool, short-sighted, and lacking in talent and learning. How can he be the leader of a country?"
Everyone in the hall discussed the current situation in the world and the situation in Wagang. Zu Junyan stood up and left his seat, prostrated solemnly and shouted.
The drama is coming!
The originally noisy and relaxed atmosphere suddenly condensed, and everyone put down their wine cups and jade chopsticks and looked at Li Mi.
At the bright moon, Li Mi summoned so many close friends and ministers, so naturally it was not just for a banquet and discussion of military affairs.
"What the ancestors said is absolutely true. Nowadays, heroes are rising together and kings are vying for hegemony. The talent and learning ability of the leader of the power is extremely important. The ability of the king of East can only be defended and not enough to enter. For the future of Wagang, please invite Mi Gong to take the throne!
"
Li Wenxiang thought for a while, then quickly attended, and made a solemn and upright request.
"Everyone knows that the territory of Wagang is now entirely controlled by Mi Gong. The Eastern King can only sit back and enjoy the gains. How can he serve the public like this? If Mi Gong does not ascend the throne, it will only miss the future of Wagang. Please ask Mi Gong for the overall situation.
Consider it and take on the important responsibilities bravely!”
Fang Yanzao hesitated for a moment, then the third person agreed.
"The King of the East is old and follows the path of Buddhism. He has no ambition. He is indeed not suitable to be the founder!"
"The secret public has great talents and great strategies, and the people's will is what they want. It is time to rise!"
"The enthronement of Mi Gong is the aspiration of the people and the general trend. Please invite Mi Gong to ascend the throne!"
"Invite the Secret Duke to ascend the throne!"
…
There were shouts one after another, and all the leaders in the palace attended and knelt on the floor in the hall.
This is what people want.
This is the general trend.
It can be said that the power of everyone in the palace has accounted for about 80% of the Wagang army. There will be no suspense about the change of ownership of Wagang, regardless of whether Dongwang Zhai Rang wants it or not!
Of course, it was indeed a failure for the master of power to achieve the level of Zhai Rang. What everyone said was not entirely wrong. It was not just flattering Li Mi or slandering Zhai Rang.
Looking at everyone's reaction, Li Mi was quite proud, excited, and proud. However, his face was obviously worried, and he seemed to be a "loyal minister" who was unwilling to seize power and position.
Everyone kneeling in the hall waited for a while, but did not get a reply from Li Mi. They couldn't help but feel confused and embarrassed.
"Brother?!"
Wang Bodang, Li Mi's diehard loyalist, shouted in confusion.
"Thank you for the praise from all brothers, I'm so worried! However, this matter needs to be considered in the long term. King Dong has no bad morals, let alone any major fault. He is just sitting back and enjoying the success, which cannot be a reason to force the palace. Xuan Sui (Li Mi's name) even did
It’s a shame not to do such a thing!”
Li Mi thought for a while and responded with some helplessness and bitterness, without any pretense.
"..."
The people who knelt down and begged looked at each other for a while, not understanding what Li Mi was thinking.
If you don’t want to force the palace to seize power, why do you summon them so solemnly that night? Is it really just to discuss the situation and cultivate feelings?!
"It's no secret that King Dong is lacking in talent and has no ambitions. It's known to everyone. It's easy to deal with King Dong, but don't forget that King Dong has an even more fearsome identity..."
Xu Shiji smiled bitterly and shook his head, stood up first, looked around the crowd and reminded.
Everyone wondered what Xu Shiji meant and stood up one after another. After all, no one wanted to kneel all the time. After all, Li Mi could only be regarded as their boss now, not the master of power, so there was no need to kneel all the time.
"What identity is more feared? What identity? There are not many generals and ministers who support him now! Cheng Yaojin, Shan Xiongxin, Qin Qiong, Wang Ruxin and other fools have no achievements or real power, so they are not a cause for concern.
ah!"
Bing Yuanzhen said in confusion, causing half of the people to nod in agreement.
Nowadays, there are not many powerful leaders in Wagang who are still loyal to Dong Wang Zhai Rang, and most of them are just for the sake of old friendship. For Yang Wei and other Wang Shichong's old troops, Yuan Baobao and other new people, there is no old friendship at all.
However, he looked down upon Zhai Rang.
"King Li!" Xu Shiji reminded simply.
"Oh! By the way, King Dong is the father-in-law of King Li..."
The atmosphere was stagnant, and Bing Yuanzhen blurted out in sudden realization, making everyone look at each other for a while, and finally understood Li Mi's scruples and helplessness, but no one refuted.
The power of King Li is universally recognized. Whether they are willing to admit it or not, at least none of them dare to lead an army to attack Li State or go to Li State to cause trouble. This is a fear!
It is obvious that the Wagang territory is now basically bordered by Daxia in the north and Li and Tang in the west. However, there are still several counties away from the Liguo territory, but the Wagang army consciously no longer goes south.
There are no strong forces in those counties and it is not difficult to attack. The reason why the Wagang Army did not continue to move south and no one protested was because they obviously wanted to keep it as a buffer zone to avoid touching Li Guo's nerves.
If you are so worried, it would be too false to admit it!
"So what? Everyone knows that it is just a marriage to appease King Li, and it cannot be taken seriously at all. Plus Miss Jiaojiao's character, I'm afraid she won't occupy much place in King Li's heart, right?"
Wang Bodang frowned and retorted in confusion. After a pause, he added: "King Li is not as reckless as he appears. He will not and cannot stand up for Dong Wang, right? If this is true, it is not a bad thing, and it is even more so.
It will make King Dong lose all his prestige!"
