"What are you talking about? The imperial court wants to seize power? Change the country and return to power?"
"What does it mean to change one's native land and return to one's current position?"
"Reforming native officials to local officials means depriving chieftains of their hereditary rights. From now on, the chieftain's territory will no longer have hereditary native officials, but will be appointed by official officials sent by the capital, and the army will also be incorporated."
"Fuck you, how can this be unreasonable? The emperor of Dali is really not a good person, he is against his mother."
"..."
The news spread quickly with the help of caring people.
The toasts who received the news were, without exception, extremely angry.
"Don't worry, everyone. The four chieftains must have also received the news. The bullshit imperial court wants to take away our power and we must not agree to it, and the four chieftains will not agree to it either."
"From now on, be ready to fight at any time."
Almost overnight, all the chieftains who received the news entered a state of war preparedness.
The reason why I haven't started taking action yet is because I am waiting for the reaction of the four chieftains.
At this moment, Bozhou.
Among the luxurious archways, above the main hall, a middle-aged man with sharp eyes looked gloomy, "What a reformer. Where did the news come from? Is it true?"
The middle-aged man is the patriarch of the Yang family in Bozhou, Yang Shaoying, who is also the local magistrate of Bozhou.
Below him, there were many members of the Yang family, all of whom were furious at the moment.
"Brother, the news has spread everywhere, it can't be false."
Another burly middle-aged man, Yang Shaojun, said, "Moreover, they have frequently adjusted their defenses during this period. They used the excuse of thoroughly investigating Ning Wang's remaining party to increase troops in the southwest. This was originally wrong. Now it seems that it was clearly premeditated."
"That's right! We can't sit still and wait for death."
"..."
Everyone was shouting.
This is a major event that affects the life and death of the Yang family and the entire southwest chieftain.
Yang Shaoying's face also turned a little livid.
At this time, someone interjected, "I heard that the person responsible for this matter is Lin Qingfeng. He has arrived in Guiling, but has never shown up. It is said that he is plotting secretly."
When they heard the name Lin Qingfeng, everyone looked a little weird.
If it had been before, they would have had no reaction at all, but not long ago, they learned that Lin Qingfeng was the Yang family's nephew.
Yang Shaojun paused and said, "Go find Qianshan."
Song Qianshan has been in Bozhou during this time.
Just as Lin Bai guessed, without knowing whether Lin Bai was really related to the Red Lotus Sect, Lao Song thought it was better to make some preparations in advance to be on the safe side.
Moreover, it is not that my wife has no contact with Banzhou in recent years.
Now he came to the main hall. After learning what happened, his face became extremely ugly, "This shouldn't be! How could it be so sudden?"
Yang Shaoying looked a little cold, looked at him and asked: "Your uncle, I just want to ask you, has he arrived in Guiling?"
Song Qianshan's expression changed.
He had just learned about Lin Bai's arrival in Guiling, and originally planned to meet him, but now...
Yang Shaojun said: "Looking at you, is it true?"
A dignified third-rank official in the imperial court, he is currently the most popular person in the imperial court.
Such a person comes to Guinan, but there is no news at all. It is impossible to say that he has no plot.
"Hmph! The old emperor of Dali is indeed not a good person. Now that we have taken the throne, we cannot just sit back and wait for death. We must strike first."
"Not bad! Catch him off guard before they are ready."
"..."
Everyone in the hall was shouting.
They may have had some doubts before, but now that it is a fact that Lin Bai came to Guiling, the news must be true.
At this moment, a follower came quickly.
"To report to the clan leader, the Sizhou Tian clan, Shuidong Luo clan, and Shuixi An clan all sent people to send news, hoping to meet immediately to discuss countermeasures. Luo clan claimed to have obtained conclusive evidence and proposed to launch an army."
Song Qianshan's expression changed drastically. It looked like something big was going to happen in this situation.
He immediately looked at Yang Shaoying and said, "Brother, there might be some misunderstanding here. Why don't you let me go to Guiling and ask Qingfeng?"
"Hmph! Are you going to see him at this time and give him a tip?"
someone scolded.
Yang Shaoying looked solemn and said: "You can't go anywhere for the time being. We will talk about the details after I discuss it with the clan leaders."
Song Qianshan was extremely anxious, but could do nothing at the moment.
There were people guarding the outside of the room, so the news could not be conveyed.
It wasn't until evening that Yang Shaojun appeared again.
"Second brother, how are you?"
Song Qianshan asked quickly.
Yang Shaojun glanced at him and said, "The major chieftains in the southwest have reached an agreement. Three days later, troops will be sent to Guiling to capture Lin Qingfeng alive."
What?
Song Qianshan's face instantly turned pale, and he couldn't help but curse: "What the hell is the boss doing? Qingfeng is his nephew and uncle, how can he take action against Qingfeng?"
"Even if the imperial court really wants to change its ways, it is still the imperial court's business. Qingfeng is just following orders, what's the use of taking him down?"
Yang Shaojun said: "You are right!"
"However, he is the person in charge of this incident. No matter what, the major chieftains in the southwest will not let him go."
Song Qianshan naturally understood this, but he still said: "He is Bao'er's heart and soul. I can tell you that if anything happens to my uncle, Bao'er will fight for you."
There are four brothers in the Yang family, namely Yang Shaoying, Yang Shaojun, Yang Shaohao, and Yang Shaojie. Finally, they gave birth to a daughter, Song Qianqian's mother, named Yang Baoer.
She has really been raised as a treasure since she was a child.
The whole family is obedient.
The corners of Yang Shaojun's eyes twitched and he said: "This is why I came to you. We have heard a lot about him. There are rumors outside that he is the Red Lotus Sect and the former prince. You and Bao'er suddenly came to Bozhou. Second brother doesn’t want to know what the reason is, and he doesn’t need to know.”
"Because Bao'er will always be our sister, the daughter of the Yang family, and her family is also our family."
Song Qianshan's face stiffened, looking slightly embarrassed.
Yang Shaojun continued: "If you want to save him, there is only one way, let him fight against the imperial court with us."
"To put it bluntly, let him rebel with us."
this!
Song Qianshan's expression changed drastically. Was he rebelling?
"This is what Big Brother means. We don't know whether the rumors about his identity are true or false. His Majesty Dali probably won't treat it like nothing happened. Maybe one day, he will die because of it."
"Instead of that, now is an opportunity."
"You can go to Guiling now and let him make his own decision."
Song Qianshan was startled, "You want me to go to Guiling? Are you afraid that I will leak the news?"
Yang Shaojun shook his head and said: "The matter is so big that by the time you arrive in Guiling, the news has already spread."
"Remember, in three days, the major chieftains in the southwest will send troops to Guiling. It would be best if he is willing to join us. On the contrary, there will be nothing we can do in three days."
Song Qianshan asked: "Is it inevitable?"
"What do you think?"
Yang Shaojun asked back, "The imperial court wants to take away our foundation, so we can only fight hard."
