As the first 'Human Emperor' who ended the Spring and Autumn War, Zhao Dun still had great prestige in the Liyang Dynasty.
He said, we need to think about it. Yuan Benxi couldn't force Zhao Dun, so he immediately gave the order. However, Yuan Benxi was worthy of being a talented person who could treat the emperor as a puppet, and he was worthy of being the number one counselor in the Spring and Autumn Period.
Seeing that Zhao Dun dared to resist him, Yuan Benxi gritted his teeth and began to use all his trump cards.
For a time, the public opinion in the court was abuzz and noisy. Even the prime minister Zhang Julu, the general Gu Jiantang and other court officials are a little unsure whether this 'favor order' should be implemented or not!
Seeing the chaos in the court, even normal government affairs began to be affected. Without any choice. After delaying for half a month, Zhao Dun still held a court meeting to solicit everyone's opinions on whether to implement the 'Tianfa Order'.
After a round of court deliberation, Yuan Benxi finally issued the "Telling Order". At the moment when the imperial edict was sealed, Zhao Dun couldn't help crying out sadly: "Liyang is over!" At the end of Guangwu's fourth year.
Xu Fengnian had just finished organizing Xu Xiao's funeral when he received six imperial edicts from the Liyang Dynasty.
Regarding the matter of 'Tweening the Grace Order', there was a lot of noise in Tai'an City. Xu Fengnian was hiding in Beiliang and had known about it for a long time.
However, even if he knew about this kind of thing, he couldn't stop it. At this time, an imperial decree was sent from Tai'an City. Xu Fengnian thought the emperor divided the three states of Beiliang into two, giving them to himself and his brother Xu Longxiang.
As a result, Tai'an City sent six imperial edicts at once. Among these six imperial edicts, except one for Xu Fengnian, allowing him to inherit the throne of Northern Liang, it would be hereditary.
There are also five imperial edicts, respectively sent to Xu Longxiang, Yuan Zuozong, Qi Dangguo, Ye Xizhen, and Yao Jian.
These five people were all given the title of county kings and were in charge of a frontier fortress under the name of Beiliang. Military and political power were also given to them.
It can be said that the power of these five people, except that they do not have the title of prince and the territory under their jurisdiction is not as large as that of Beiliang, their other powers are no weaker than that of Xu Fengnian, the king of Beiliang.
Xu Fengnian was dumbfounded after watching the eunuch from Tai'an City explain the content of the imperial edict: "When will the adopted son also have the right to inherit?" As Beiliang was divided into six parts, the other vassal kings of the Liyang Dynasty also began to feel insecure. stand up.
At this time, Su Mingzhe couldn't help but applaud Yuan Benxi's operation: "Divide Beiliang into six parts in one go, Beiliang will definitely be in chaos!"
"Inform Cao Changqing that the plan to attack Beimang is on hold. Next year, we will march eastward to Liyang!" Pushing the favor order is indeed a good strategy, and it is indeed the best conspiracy in the ages.
However, the current Liyang Dynasty can be said to be suffering from internal and external troubles, and it is really not a good time to implement the order of grace.
"If you want to implement the order of grace, you must make the country rich and the people strong, and the main branch must be strong and the branches weak!"
"The Liyang Dynasty is now implementing the 'Tweet the Favor Order', which is really a bit anxious!" After Li Yishan learned that the 'Tweet the Favor Order' was issued, he finally threw away the chess piece he had held for half his life.
He can now see the scene where Beiliang, Liyang, and even Beimang will be annexed by Shu.
"Man's calculation is not as good as God's calculation!"
"Master, I want to go out for a walk again!" Xu Fengnian, who had just inherited the throne of Beiliang, was bored every day and came to Tingchao Pavilion to seek answers from Li Yishan.
Li Yishan's eyes were filled with pity: "Where do you want to go?"
"Beimang!" Xu Fengnian thought about it and thought that the future of Beiliang might be in Beimang.
"Go!" Li Yishan really didn't want Beiliang and Beimang to have anything to do with each other. However, now that Beiliang is no longer able to protect itself, the national justice and so on are not important at this time.
When Xu Fengnian was preparing to go to Beimang, Cao Changqing also began to lead people to prepare for the great cause of "restoring Western Chu".
At the beginning of the fifth year of Guangwu. Cao Changqing led people to Xiangfan City in Qingzhou to assassinate King Jing'an. success! Subsequently, Cao Changqing took Xiangfan City as the foundation and announced the "restorement of Western Chu"!
The richest man in Qingzhou, Wang Chudong's father, Wang Linquan, surrendered to Cao Changqing with millions of belongings. At the same time, he donated five million taels of silver, which was regarded as payment for the restoration of Western Chu.
The title of the country of Western Chu was indeed established, but not only did it have no soldiers, even the future emperor of Western Chu was still in Jiang Ni's belly.
At this time, Cao Changqing "borrowed" 100,000 troops from the Great Shu Kingdom, and followed the Guangling River all the way south. It can be said that it is overwhelming.
Two months later. It took the Liyang Dynasty more than ten years to conquer Western Chu, but it was re-established by Cao Changqing.
The vassal kings who were entrusted to Western Shu by the Liyang royal family were all assassinated by Cao Changqing's men. In the fifth year of Guangwu, winter!
Under the mediation of the Great Shu Kingdom, the Liyang Dynasty and Western Chu signed an armistice agreement, agreeing to divide the river to rule and restore the territory of Western Chu.
At the beginning of the sixth year of Guangwu. Ye Xizhen, the king of Beiyan County, and Yao Jian, the king of Beixuan County, jointly issued a statement stating that they broke away from the Liyang Dynasty and founded the "Dayan" and "Daxuan" countries.
As soon as the news came out, the world regarded the two as clowns. However, in the summer of the sixth year of Guangwu. Beimang's army stationed in the two countries of 'Dayan' and 'Daxuan', threatening Beiliang.
Xu Fengnian, who was traveling in Beimang, broke through the siege of Beimang killers, fled back to Beiliang, and asked for help from the Liyang Dynasty!
Liyang Dynasty had no reaction. In the sixth year of Guangwu, autumn! Su Mingzhe personally led his army northward to rescue his brother-in-law.
The Empress of Beimang originally thought that she had an army of millions, but how could she destroy the Shu Kingdom when it had just been established and had not yet formed any combat effectiveness.
As a result, each of the five thousand Yulin Guards brought by Su Mingzhe could equal one to a thousand. The empress of Beimang, the Grand Temple of Huyan, and the Tuoba Bodhisattva all had to lie down when faced with more than 5,000 first-level Zhixuanjing and celestial phenomena.
Su Mingzhe led the army and pushed forward all the way. He not only regained the three states of Beiliang, but also invaded the hinterland of Beimang and captured nearly half a million Beimang cavalry.
If it hadn't been for the coming winter, Su Mingzhe would have really gone all the way north, attacked Beidi City, and captured Empress Beimang!
As the three states of Northern Liang became part of the Shu Kingdom, the territory of the Liyang Dynasty was reduced again and again. Both in terms of population and territory, it was far inferior to the Great Shu Kingdom.
Zhao Dun, the Liyang royal family, died in anger. Yuan Benxi fled back to Shu before the new emperor ascended the throne.
In the seventh year of Guangwu, spring. Su Mingzhe led an army to attack the Liyang Dynasty. Three months later, the army arrived at Tai'an City. He had only been the new emperor for half a year. He cried for a long time and finally submitted the surrender.
With the fall of the Liyang Dynasty, Western Chu, which had only been restored for two years, also announced its annexation to the Great Shu Kingdom. This is the general trend!
Cao Changqing was helpless! Two years followed. Su Mingzhe did not continue the Northern Expedition to Beimang, but continued to prepare military and political affairs and expand infrastructure projects.
The national destiny of Shu is booming! In the spring of the tenth year of Guangwu. Su Mingzhe led the army in the northern expedition to Beimang. Empress Beimang devoted all her power to prepare a total of 1.5 million cavalry and gathered at the foot of Rouran Mountain, hoping to fight the Shu Kingdom to the death.
Su Mingzhe fell from the sky and shattered Rouran Mountain with one palm. Seeing that the mountaintop stretching for more than ten miles was smashed into pieces by Su Mingzhe's palm.
Empress Beimang looked at her so-called million-strong army and had no choice but to declare surrender. With the surrender of Beimang, this continent was unified.
The luck of heaven and earth gathers. Jinguan City in Shuzhou is thousands of miles away. Suddenly a golden dragon fell from the sky and rushed into the belly of the harem queen Jiang Ni.
Ye Song, who was guarding Shu, didn't even have time to stop him: "This is the Dragon of Luck..."
