The chaos in Zicheng was inside the main hall, which looked quite magnificent. Several generals and officials wearing helmets and armors were also trying their best to persuade a beautiful woman wearing golden branches and bird fur to find a way to escape from danger while the outside was not completely surrounded.
However, Lord Jiashan, who used to be famous for his stunning appearance and political skills in the public office, turned away from his graceful and elegant attitude. He scolded and questioned them hysterically:
"I'm not going anywhere!"
"Don't even try to make Yu Lin escape!"
"Who can tell Yu why Xiaoliu, who was clearly on his deathbed, disappeared from the palace."
"I don't believe in the theory of ghosts and gods protecting me! These are all lies she made up to attract those stupid men and women!"
"If there are really ghosts and gods, why did they not protect the official house in the first place, but just paid special attention to the decorations put out by her father?"
"This must be someone inside the industry who is acting like a fool, thinking that it is a way to deceive and deceive in order to cooperate with the noisy people outside..."
"According to Yu's original intention, those people should not have been left behind in the first place. It would be clean to kill them all on the spot. It's all you who said it, for fear of making too much noise..."
"That's enough!" Suddenly a stern voice sounded nearby and interrupted Mr. Jiashan's venting and confiding. However, on the way across the sea, he was pulled into the water through special means, and the Minister of Xuanyuan, Zheng Wu, who had reached a temporary alliance, was Lai: "What's the point of talking about this now!"
He looked at this with some vague disgust, the once famous daughter of the royal family and the head wife of the feudal clan; he regretted that he had not been able to control himself on the ship, and had left the control in the hands of the other party; in the end, he was forced to go step by step. , now it is beyond control.
You must know that he, who has served as the teacher of the children of the imperial family, is here to seek the power and escape of Xingtai on the orders of the father-in-law who has fled abroad; but he also has the ambition to clean up the country and think it is stable. The idea of living in the remaining territory of the existing government and the states and counties under its jurisdiction.
Therefore, his original plan was to give first and then take back. He was to obtain this person as a division commander and assistant minister. He was originally promoted to deceive others and divert the trust of the pursuing prince. He then gradually contacted and controlled the core authority to win over and Conquer those subordinates who are still useful.
However, the strategy and planning of this gradual escape fell apart after meeting the second daughter of the princess on the way across the sea. As a little memory and origin of the personal relationship in the past, he still couldn't control himself in front of the other party.
However, the opponent, who had both an army and a status, completely took control of the situation and was controlled by others step by step. Therefore, when the reinforcements across the sea landed, he still agreed to the other party; each of them first gained the trust of the platform, and then made an agreement that would be echoed internally and externally.
Therefore, in the following time, he appropriately played the role of a rigorous teacher and assistant minister who came from the official office. Using his name, status and reputation, he soon became a leader in the supervision of the country. , occupying a place and winning over a group of people.
Especially those who were suppressed in the industry, including Hanzhou's local nobles, aristocratic families, and vassals; almost all of them spontaneously gathered under his command, implicitly respecting him as a common position and a leader who could fight for their own interests. ; So he began to expand and affect the army.
However, this time, this good student who was no more than Shuanglu and had always been very talkative and respectful of his teachers no longer tolerated or condoned his teacher. Although he did not publicly reprimand him, he did not hesitate to belittle and release those generals who had had close contact with him.
Then, at a small banquet held at the upper level of the platform, he inadvertently used the example of Lord Xinling, the fourth prince of the Warring States Period, to emphasize that the current national crisis has not been overcome, and professionals should do what they are good at, rather than those based on their background or seniority. The basic truth; this result made him a little panicked.
Therefore, he did not hesitate to confess his crime openly, and also mentioned many local nobles and aristocratic families that he had contacted with to express his stance and show his sincerity; but on the other hand, he contacted them secretly and made an agreement. Lord Jiashan, who has the vassal soldiers in hand, is ready to attack again.
In fact, there was a hidden agenda behind Zheng Wu Zai's appointment. This was because the king's father, the king, was abroad and wanted to gain the support of the suzerain's country. Therefore, in order to win over people's hearts along the way, he granted a lot of official positions, titles and ministries indiscriminately.
Zheng Wusha, who once served as a teacher for the children of the public servants, is one of them. However, when this contemporary official arrived at Liaoyang City with a large number of retinues, he was detained there by his in-law Luo Shi because of the dispute over the positions of the vassal camps in western Liaoning and eastern Liaoning.
Then, his subordinates and guards were disarmed, imprisoned, demobilized, and exiled. Only more than a hundred people, including the father-in-law, were put under house arrest in Liaoyang City by Luo Fan in disguise, and became rich clothes and fine food. , a caged bird under courtesy and preferential treatment;
Later, because many of his wives, concubines, and concubines fell into the hands of the king, he was forced to take Luo's daughter as his second wife. Then, they immediately gave birth to a boy and a girl the next year. At this point, most of the people who continued to follow were completely desperate.
Therefore, Zheng Wu Zai is one of the last few people who is still loyal to the office. He was ordered to abscond with a handwritten letter privately sealed by his father, the King, in order to find a way out for the official family. At this time, he got a piece of good news, a piece of bad news, and another piece of news that couldn't be said to be good or bad.
The good news is that whether it is the Fuso Clan coalition, the puppets they support - the Baekje Puppet Dynasty, or the chaos caused by the Maitreya Sect and the Red Pants Party - they have all temporarily stopped in the southern and central parts of the Thirteen Prefectures of Haidong. The northern princely territories and vassals, including Kitahara Kyo, were temporarily preserved.
The bad news is that the seventh son of the royal family who was lost on the way and the right wife who was supposed to be martyred in Wangji actually fell into the hands of the Fuso clan's coalition forces; and just then, Jin Haijing claimed to be the royal family, held a meeting in white clothes, and recruited nobles from all over the country. The feudal lords, powerful men, and tribal chiefs who were resisting went to serve.
The news, which can't be said to be good or bad, is that the sixth daughter of the royal family, who was hastily established as the heir apparent and abandoned in disguise on the pretext of setting up a separate trip, has actually established a firm foothold in the northern states. Not only has he established a platform to regain his homeland, but he also has a decent territory and army.
Zheng Wucai undoubtedly saw an opportunity; so he revised the handwriting without hesitation; but because of his temporary inability to control himself, the handle fell into the hands of Lord Jiashan, who came with his troops. ; Then, he was pulled onto this pirate ship in disguise.
However, it turns out that Jiashan Jun, who is famous for his beauty and scheming skills, is not a good partner when it comes to planning big things. Zheng Wushan originally wanted to bribe and win over people in the industry, because he was dissatisfied with the people who came from humble backgrounds and were used.
In the end, he cooperated with the vassal soldiers brought by Lord Jiashan inside and outside, and through a palace coup with little or no bloodshed, the prince was placed in control of the throne, thinking that he could share military and political power. But he never expected that the eldest sister of the princess would be even more ruthless and cruel than him.
Because, she actually secretly planned a more violent conspiracy. First, he coerced and lured people close to him to poison and kill the prince of the supervising country; then, Zheng Wuzao stepped in to clean up the mess and appease people's hearts. Finally, she, the eldest sister, assumed the power of the throne according to the prince's will.
To this end, she even brought the document of peace with the Wozhou vassal, as well as the imperial edict of the father-in-law, which had also been secretly re-tampered with when asking for help from Wozhou. But as the saying goes, ideals are good, but reality is cruel. Her methods were too rough and there were too many omissions and flaws.
As a result, except for the most critical first step, everything else, whether it was isolating the inside and outside, blocking information and bringing in troops, was all messed up in her hands. As a passive accomplice and insider, Zheng Wushao was unable to deal with the aftermath even if he tried to heal it.
As a result, the prince of the Supervisory Kingdom, who was thought to have been poisoned by a specially made poison, suddenly disappeared out of thin air in the tightly sealed and isolated palace. This is too shocking and unbelievable. Many accomplices, including Rang Xing, were in an uproar and were horrified.
Only then did someone remember the rumors that this man had received help from the gods in the mountains on his way to exile, and had been able to turn disaster into good fortune. However, at this critical moment, Jiashan Jun became hysterical and insisted on killing all suspicious people walking around.
As a result, in the chaos of searching, arguing, and persuading, a lot of precious initial time was wasted before a decision was made. He summoned several vassal soldiers to assist in the defense of Zicheng, and sent people with the promise of wealth and fame to seize the military power of the garrisons of various sects and eradicate the prince's old cronies in the central part of the army;
However, their planning and decision seemed to be a step too late, and they quickly encountered backlash from those troops who were still loyal to the prince. Not only did none of the messengers they sent out return, but they even had people cooperate with each other and directly entered the city. Come.
Although these vassal soldiers who were hastily summoned to Zicheng tended to be on their own side in terms of stance and attitude, their combat effectiveness was incomparable to those who had followed the prince and had fought for dozens of years. They were quickly beaten. The defeat was so complete that even the feudal lord and his generals took the lead.
Only a thousand Wozhou vassal soldiers who obeyed Lord Jiashan's orders were left, and they retreated and were able to survive for a while. Because, no matter how angry and disgusted Zheng Wuzao was, this daughter of a royal family who was usually quite sophisticated and scheming, but lost her sense of proportion when the situation was unfavorable, still had to rely on her.
Therefore, what Zheng Wuzao was thinking at the moment was to calm him down by being coy and coy; then find a substitute with a similar appearance and walk up the wall to appease the turbulent army; and then use the name of an audience to lead the leader. Decoy to come in and play by ear.
In this way, whether you coerce and induce them to cooperate, or kill them decisively, thinking that the group is leaderless and taking advantage of the situation to break out, there is plenty of room for manipulation.
At this time, there was once again a fierce uproar outside, as well as a roaring sound like a mountain that boosted morale. Immediately, while they were looking at each other, a general ran in with a look of horror on his face and twitching all over his body. He stumbled and fell to the ground and shouted:
"God...immortal, god...really...appeared!"
