Chapter 14 Fan the flames of this battle without fear
Xiang Nan knew immediately that something had happened on Yanhaidao.
"That Zhou Xian ran to inspect Mizhou City, but he was not allowed to enter, so he killed Young Master Chang Ba!"
"The Chang family was furious. Young Master Chang led his troops and horses and beat Zhou Xian away."
Chen Er stood in the hall and said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Xiang Nan couldn't help but interject: "Old Chang's family has raised so many soldiers and horses quietly? I heard that they also did business with Shi Chao, and many soldiers and horses came from Jian'an Prefecture.
Are the rebels coming?"
Chen Er said coldly: "What? You also want to go to Mizhou City to check it out?"
Xiang Nan waved his hands hurriedly: "If you don't go, it doesn't matter to me how many soldiers and horses there are in Yanhai Road."
Chen Er glared at him and continued: "Yanhai Dao is a Dao after all. No matter how courageous Zhou Xian is, he is just a state. Now he has been beaten back to Yizhou and is still besieged."
Xiang Nan said: "They also besieged Yizhou? What do they want to do?"
"Of course we have to hand over the murderer Zhou Xian." Chen Er said.
Xiang Nan laughed heartily: "The Chang family must be crazy, then both Yizhou and Zhou Xian belong to the queen."
"It's because he belongs to the Marquis that the Chang family went crazy this time." Chen Er said solemnly, "They want to inherit Jiedushi, and if the Marquis wants to reach out to Yanhaidao, they will never allow it."
Xiang Nan slapped the table: "That's so bold! Could it be that the shore of Suitu belongs to the royal family? Yanhaidao belongs to the imperial court! Why does it belong to the Chang family?"
Chen Er saw him pretending: "Then what do you want?"
Xiang Nan pulled up his sleeves: "Get the pen and ink quickly. I want to write a letter to the Empress."
Chen Er sneered without moving.
"This is a major matter concerning the imperial court!" Xiang Nan said to him, "I want to submit a letter asking the imperial court to attack the Chang family of Yanhaidao!"
Chen Erdao: "Are you going to request an order to relieve the queen's worries and go on a crusade?"
"Of course I won't go. If I go, what should we do if we are robbed in Huainan and Zhejiang?" Xiang Nan said, pointing to his heart, "My heart is with my wife."
Chen Er had an expression that I knew: "Then don't fan the flames. For the sake of past friendship, please advise her to be patient."
Xiang Nan smiled and said, "I can't persuade you."
Chen Erdao: "Does she know the consequences if she wants to be beaten?"
Xiang Nan touched his chin: "I think she not only knew about it but also waited for it."
Except Xiang Nan knew about it, the news was quickly spreading in all directions.
In a state city where the Jiwei Army was stationed in Jiangnan Province, General Jiwei was sitting in the main hall of his house, looking at his son, nephews and sons-in-law in front of him.
"Children." His voice was choked with sobs, "Now is the critical time for our family."
The children were called back suddenly, nervous and uneasy.
A child shouted: "Dad! Are you really going to die?"
The other son knelt down and cried loudly: "Dad! I will ask a famous doctor for you, don't be afraid!"
Others were not behind, crying and shouting, "I'm looking for a good medicine" and "I'm looking for a fairy prescription."
There was a lot of crying and shouting in the hall, and the guards standing in the yard couldn't help but hold down their swords and looked nervous...
General Yoshie Wei slapped Pingji to silence the room.
It can be seen that the general is in good health...
"I'm not dead now!" General Jiwei said angrily, "But what I want to talk about is what happens after I die."
The children, nieces and nephews in the room breathed a sigh of relief.
"Dad, you are in very good health!" A son-in-law said while sitting on the ground, "It's too early to say this now."
"It will be too late to tell you when I am about to die!" General Jiwei said, "You all know what happened at Yankai Road, right?"
The children, nieces and nephews in the room looked at each other and responded in confusion. They just heard the news and came back with soldiers and horses to protect them... At this time, the most powerful cronies were also brought in and stood outside the door.
"Lao Chang didn't tell the children beforehand. He was seriously ill suddenly and didn't have time to tell the story, and no one listened!" General Jiwei said, looking solemnly at the juniors in the room, "Wealth and silk are touching people's hearts. In today's world, it's hard to control the military."
Ma Daquan is the greatest wealth, and I know that you all have your own calculations and ambitions in the past two years."
People in the room all said, "Father, we don't have one!" "Uncle, we all listen to you." "Uncle! Without you, where would we be?"
General Jiwei waved his hand: "You don't have to say these nice things to me, I don't mind your ambitions either."
"In this world, people without ambition can't go far. Only with ambition can you grow stronger, but!"
He picked up the broken number and knocked it.
"Don't point your swords and guns at your own brothers before you've even done anything!"
"What do we have to fight for in Jiwei? You should stick together and grow stronger together and go to all directions!"
"It will be worth it if you continue to fight for power and profit until you are like that queen."
"Don't be like those idiots from the Chang family!"
After listening to General Jiwei's words, everyone in the room responded in unison.
"Dad." Another person asked, "Is the imperial court really going to attack Yanhaidao?"
General Jiwei twisted his beard: "Yanhai Dao will not give in, otherwise he will give up the Chang family's family business. The court definitely does not want to fight, after all, the world has not yet been settled, and the rebels have not yet been pacified... But the queen has always been
Crazy, this time involves the issue of the succession of Jiedushi. If she doesn’t fight, she will never be able to control Wei Dao in the future."
Does it seem like we have to fight? Everyone murmured with some uneasiness.
"What do we have to worry about?" General Yoshie said, laughing. "Whether they fight or not, it's a good thing for us."
"If the queen does not fight, she will acquiesce to Yanhai Dao's approach. From now on, the world will inherit the Dao and the imperial court will not interfere. Isn't this a good thing for us?"
Of course, how could the power in their hands be handed over to the imperial court again, and they could be dismissed from their posts at any time? How could this be possible when the father died and the son was kicked out of the Taoist government? Everyone nodded.
"It's a good thing that the Marquis is fighting." General Jiwei sneered, "The rebels haven't been defeated yet, and she attacked fellow defenders. Which defender can tolerate her? Then everyone will ask how the late emperor was assassinated.
How did the third prince, Prime Minister Cui, die!"
The Marquis attacked the Chang family of Yanhai Dao because the son inherited his father's inheritance, and she wanted to destroy the lives of all those who defended the Dao!
Whether you kill the king or hold the emperor hostage to control the princes, everyone will be safe, but if you want to hurt everyone's life, then everyone will fight her to the death.
No matter how powerful you are, do you dare to be an enemy of the world's defenders?
"When the time comes, she will be the next traitor Ankangshan!"
After getting rid of the traitors and thieves of the country, it is time for the princes and princes in the court to come and sit down.
That's much bigger than Ji Wei's small family fortune.
Everyone in the room stood up and called dad, uncle, uncle: "We will work together to strengthen my good health!"

When Qishan of the Southeast Road heard the news, he did not summon his brothers, nephews, and descendants to lecture him. The Qi family was not a poor family. They had strict military disciplines and strict family rules as early as the beginning of Wei Dao. Petty profits would not mess up their minds.
Compared to the turmoil outside, his Dao Ya's house was peaceful. He was sitting in his study, surrounded by more than a dozen guests, twirling his pen while listening to the little maid playing and singing.
"That woman's appetite is too big." He said to the diners in front of him, "I knew this moment would come."
"It's not bad for Yanhai Dao to be the first person." A diner said with a smile, "We can watch the excitement."
"What if the Marquis doesn't fight?" Another retainer asked, more impatiently, "Don't we still have to wait?"
"Then just wait!" Qi Shan was as steady as a mountain, "In today's world, we can afford to wait, but the Queen cannot afford to wait."
The longer the time goes by, the greater the power of Wei Dao becomes, and the harder it becomes for the court to control it.
Qishan is very satisfied with the current situation: "After surviving the difficulties, the world has reached its best time. The next step will depend on who can make a steady move."
Anyone can take bigger and bigger steps.
"What if the female prince holds the emperor hostage to order the princes?" He smiled, "Let her hold her hostage. If she is a bad person, we can be good people."
Having said this, he gave instructions to a guest.
"Immediately submit a letter to the imperial court, condemning the Chang family of Yanhai Dao for being disobedient and domineering."
He also gave instructions to another guest.
"I wrote a letter to Chang San in my name to express my sorrow for the death of his father, and it is really chilling for the court to do this."
The two doormen answered yes.
Qishan pawed: "Whether we fight or not, we'll just sit back and watch the fun."
A retainer said: "If we really want to fight, Xuanwu Road in Huainan Road will be affected, and soldiers and horses will be assigned from there. The foundation of the Xiang family's children is half in Xuanwu Road and half in Huainan Road."
He laughed when he said this.
"We can take this opportunity to get him out of western Zhejiang!"
Because this kid Qishan had been put in a lot of trouble, he was unhappy when Xiang Nan was mentioned in the past six months, but now he smiled.
"Yes, I still need to write a letter to Xiang Yun." He picked up the pen again and said, "I will write it myself. In such a changing period, time waits for no one. The two of us must work together for the stability of Daxia!"
After arranging a few letters and conveying the full meaning of loyalty, Qishan had wine and food served and had a great time singing and dancing with the guests.

Letters of petition were gathered in the capital, and the court, which was tense due to the confrontation between Yanhaidao and Yizhou, became even more noisy.
"You see, they are just fanning the flames!"
"Just waiting for chaos!"
"This matter must be resolved immediately."
Hearing this, Li Minglou, who went to court again, stood up.
"You are right, this matter must be resolved." She said, calling Li Mingyu.
Li Mingyu, who was originally leading troops on patrol outside, had been summoned back. Hearing this, he stepped out of the queue and leaned down and shouted: "The general is here!"
Li Minglou said: "You will lead the Xuanwu Dao soldiers and horses into Yanhai Dao and bring Chang Qing's children to the capital for suing Chang Ji for murdering their parents and their grandfather's family. Anyone who disobeys in Yanhai Dao will be killed without mercy!"
Li Mingyu promised loudly, turned around and strode away.
The young man ran out in the blink of an eye with vigorous steps. Only then did the officials in the palace react, and there was an explosion.
What do they mean by what they said is right?! What they said was not to allow the enemy to use troops against Yanhaidao!
"How can we use troops!"
"Yanhaidao is not a rebel! This is fratricide!"
Li Minglou retorted: "How can this be fratricide? Although Yanhaidao was not a rebel, Chang Ji first killed his brothers and committed evil, then refused to obey the imperial order, and besieged Yizhou City. He was rebelling against the imperial decree, and was also
Rebellious to loyalty, filial piety, etiquette and shame."
"This time I want him to know what the rules are. I asked Governor Li to lead the troops, just to show him that the court does not prevent the son from inheriting his father's legacy, but rather prevents him from being lawless, unfaithful, unfilial and shameless.
The disciples will inherit their father’s legacy!”
The woman's voice was both beautiful and deafening. She shouted condescendingly, and the civil and military officials in the court fell silent for a while.
"What you said makes sense, but extraordinary things happen in extraordinary times." An official stood up and lamented, "Madam, before the external rebels have been quelled, the internal forces are fighting against each other, and the world is going to be in chaos!"
Another official stood up and said seriously: "Madam, please give in for the sake of world peace."
Li Minglou looked at them.
"Look at Chang Qing's orphan who was placed in the Yamen. If you want such peace in the world," she said slowly, "then I would rather not have such peace in the world."

In May of the ninth year of Chengyuan, the First Marquis ordered Li Mingyu, the military envoy of Jiannan Province, to lead the soldiers and horses of Xuanwu Dao of Jiannan Province to Yanhai Road to investigate the crime of murdering the brothers by the three sons of Jiedushi. Chang Ji refused to accept the entry of the imperial soldiers and horses, and ordered them to go to Yanhai Road.
Soldiers rebelled.
In July of the ninth year of Chengyuan, Li Mingyu defeated the Yan navy and captured Mizhou. Chang Ji fled to Anzhou.
In August of the ninth year of Chengyuan, Zhou Xian crossed the sea and made a surprise attack on Jian'an Prefecture, killing Chang Ji.
The Yanhai Rebellion ended.
The total casualties were 4,893 Guardsmen and 16,000 civilians.
In the early autumn of August, on the roadside outside Beijing, a monk wrapped in a green robe chanted the Diamond Sutra for three days without stopping.
