It is Qiancheng, west of the city.
A splendid and luxurious residence.
This is the residence of Donglou Yi, the leader of Shule Kingdom.
When the leader of Shule was in Moxituo, because he had to be responsible for the rear, he did not follow Moxituo to fight on the front line like Bai Dian of Qiuci Kingdom. Just like this, Donglou also escaped and did not die on the battlefield.
Even so, when King Chaori passed through Shule Kingdom later, Donglou also wanted to cry without tears.
King Chaori crossed the border, plundered countless grains and left, making Shule Kingdom completely impoverished. The key was that he did not dare to offend King Chaori for fear of being killed.
Facing Chaori King, Donglou also obeyed.
Facing the Ming Dynasty, he found that the Ming Dynasty was very polite to the countries in the Western Regions, but his attitude gradually became arrogant, and he was not satisfied with the present.
East Tower also wants more benefits.
After all, after King Chaori retreated, the Ming Dynasty was established. He could not stop it, so he took the initiative to obey the orders of the Ming Dynasty. Like the kings and nobles from other countries, they all came to Qiancheng.
It's just that these people who used to be pampered and enjoyed power are now living unsatisfactory lives.
Mainly because I no longer have rights.
Donglou also made a special trip to the General Manager's Mansion for this purpose, met with Xun Yu, and made a request, saying that they were also willing to follow the Ming Dynasty, become talents of the Ming Dynasty, and govern the Western Regions for the Ming Dynasty.
However, he hit a snag. Xun Yu simply said that the current planning for the Western Region was sufficient and was not needed for the time being.
We will make arrangements when necessary.
When a discerning person hears it, this is perfunctory.
Donglou also returned to his house. The more he thought about it, the more frustrated and angry he became. The majestic leader of Shule Kingdom was now an idler. He could not do anything and had no rights. They are not even allowed to have an army, and the number of their own guards is limited to no more than fifty.
This is something Donglou doesn’t want either.
Why did Ming Dynasty treat them so harshly?
When Donglou was angry, he also learned about the situation of the countries in the Western Regions. All the monarchs and nobles from the Western Regions countries were complaining and unwilling to give in.
Donglou also felt that this was an opportunity.
For this reason, Donglou also specially arranged for people to notify and invite nobles from Weitou Kingdom, Qiuci Kingdom, Qiemo Kingdom, Yanqi Kingdom and other countries. In fact, the East Building also invited heads of state from various countries.
Unfortunately, only Yanqi, the leader of the country, rushed over.
The arrival of Yan Chong gave Donglou Yi some confidence.
At least there is a king coming.
When everyone arrived at the house, a banquet was immediately held in the east building, where they drank and chatted with everyone. After drinking heavily, Donglou also looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice: "I invite you here this time mainly because we, the nobles of the Western Regions, have never made an arrangement."
Upon hearing this, everyone put down their wine glasses.
The expressions on all of their faces were very serious.
These nobles are all angry because they have lost everything and now they can only live on the savings they once accumulated.
This kind of day is not what they want.
If you sit back and have nothing, one day there will be no more.
The point is, the rights are gone.
This is the biggest problem.
Yan Chong's temperament was quite impulsive. He was the first to say: "Dong Louyi, the Ming Dynasty official will not give us any chance at all. Even if we want to serve for the Ming Dynasty, the other party will not give us a chance."
When other people heard this, they all agreed.
"Yes, Ming Dynasty is really hateful now. He completely regards himself as the master of the Western Region. Why?"
"We are the ones who are most familiar with the Western Regions."
"It is impossible to govern the Western Region well without us. Without us participating in the governance of the Western Region, what kind of governance is it?"
All the dignitaries spoke in agreement.
Everyone's anger burst out under Dong Lou Yi's guidance.
Donglou also saw this, and felt overjoyed in his heart. If everyone was willing to accept the current situation, there was nothing he could do. If everyone is willing to be oppressed, there is nothing he can do.
Now if everyone is dissatisfied, there is room for maneuver.
Donglou also looked around at the crowd. He raised his hand and lowered it slightly, saying: "In the current situation, I went to understand the attitude of the Ming Emperor. The Ming Emperor has always been supportive of us people from the Western Regions."
"For example, Bu Shan was born in the Western Regions. He was once in power under Xun Yu. Bu Shan did not have any arrangements."
"With a word from the emperor, Bu Shan became the prefect of a county."
"The emperor is a good emperor, but Xun Yu is wholeheartedly suppressing us and not giving us a chance to develop."
Donglou also expressed his own views.
He did not resist Ming.
Under the general trend, Ming Dynasty is unshakable, and the only one who can shake it now is Xun Yu. After getting rid of hard-liners like Xun Yu and having someone weaker and easier to win over, the nobles of the Western Regions would have more opportunities.
This is Dong Lou Yi's analysis and judgment, and it is also the breakthrough point for integrating and leveraging the nobles of the Western Regions.
Once he said he wanted to resist the Ming Dynasty, I'm afraid these people would run away in a swarm. Even if these people ran away, it would be the best outcome. Maybe in the blink of an eye, someone would come to inform him and arrest him.
However, it is different when dealing with Xun Yu.
Xun Yu was just an official.
Without Xun Yu, other Ming officials would naturally come.
When Yan Chong heard Dong Lou Yi's words, he looked approving and said, "I agree with what Dong Lou Yi said. This Xun Yu is very hateful. I had planned to do something, resell food. Things got hammered by him. So much so that I can’t do anything now.”
Other people also agreed.
These people were dissatisfied with Xun Yu.
The reason is very simple. Xun Yu's political strategy has never been these nobles of the Western Regions, and Xun Yu has even been suppressing these nobles.
Donglou also said in a deep voice: "At this point, the only thing we can do is to resist. Otherwise, we will have no future. As long as Xun Yu is gone, everything will be easy to handle. What do you think?"
Some people were a little silent.
Dealing with Xun Yu is also risky.
Yan Chong was also dissatisfied with Xun Yu. He said: "I agree with this arrangement. At this stage, we have no choice. Without Xun Yu, we can make profits from chaos and develop our strength. Even without Xun Yu, Empress Yu, once Bu Shan can become the general manager of the Western Region, it will be more conducive to our arrangements."
Donglou also looked approvingly and said: "What Yan Chong said is very right. If we don't resist now, we will have no chance to resist. If we don't act now, we are destined to be weakened and destroyed bit by bit."
"Of course, those who don't want to take action can leave on their own."
"Anyway, it's a good time to get together and get together."
"When we take down Xun Yu, get the benefits, and start distributing the benefits, you will have no choice but to stand aside and not get involved for the time being."
Donglou also said: "Please make a decision. If you are willing to stay, you can stay."
Everyone started talking.
Many people were whispering to each other.
The expressions on everyone's faces were a little cautious at first, then a little crazy, and in the end, everyone nodded in agreement for the sake of profit.
Donglou also saw that the opinions were unanimous, a smile appeared on his face, and he said solemnly: "Since everyone has no objections, the next thing will be easy to handle. We all have our own elites and arrange people to rob and kill Xun Yu. "
"This time, we set up a game, brought Xun Yu in, and killed Xun Yu in one go."
"Xun Yu died, and in the end he died without a complete body."
"Anyway, there is no evidence to prove it."
"Even if the Ming Emperor is furious, in the end, it will not be our fault. We can just ignore it."
Donglou also said: "In the end, we participated in the search for the murderer, pretending to work for the emperor. Finally, we arranged for people to encourage Bu Shan to be promoted and became the general manager of the Western Regions."
Yan Chong's eyes were bright and he said: "This is right, let's do it this way."
Everyone agreed.
Donglou also further elaborated on the detailed plan, saying that Xun Yu must be transferred away from the main city of Qiancheng in order to operate in the wilderness.
If you can't reach this step, you won't be able to do it without being aware of it.
After all the plans were made, Donglou and everyone quickly made arrangements to prepare for the next action.
