All Hail Cousin Brother

The courtiers are not fools. When the death of King You broke out, the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty became angry, and riots occurred frequently in various places. The emperor was a furious lion at this time.

He would use a **** way to tell the court and the opposition, and the vassal kings from all over the world: "The authority of the heavenly family cannot be provoked."

This is the imperial mind.

At the time when the government and the opposition are scrambling up and down!

An 800-mile expedited document was sent to Beijing, and the sweaty horse raced on Chang'an Street, holding up the document's spies and shouting: "Shandong Jibao, Shandong Jibao..."

When the people heard this voice, they all retreated and gave way.

Sweaty BMW all the way from Chang'an Avenue, galloping into the palace.

The spy knelt on one knee and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, Qizao, the various ministries in Shandong launched a large-scale rebellion, and the leader Li Qiguang shouted the banner of a faint-hearted ruler and the persecution of Zhongliang..."

As soon as the emperor heard the words "Dark King and Daoist", his whole person was like a mad lion, his eyes became blood red: "Call, the ministers enter the palace to discuss matters."

When the ministers got the news, they did not dare to delay at all, and hurried into the palace.

The emperor stood high on the ground and looked down at the officials below: "There is a large-scale rebellion in Shandong, what are the best strategies for you?"

It's a matter of national danger, how dare the ministers hide and tuck--

Xia Yansheng immediately surrendered: "Li Qiguang has always regarded himself as a remnant of the Gulu Kingdom, and bought people's hearts in the Shandong area. He has gathered a large number of people under his hands. The imperial court has sent troops to suppress it twice, but failed to persuade him to surrender. At this time, he launched a rebellion. The prestige of His Royal Highness King You, and the act of rebellion, please also ask the emperor to select the available generals as soon as possible, and lead the troops to suppress the chaos."

"Xia Ge always said that Shandong is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, bordering Hebei, Henan, Anhui, and Jiangsu from north to south, and is less than 600 miles away from Jingzhao. If the traitor Li Qiguang occupies Shandong, it will form a force. When the time comes, Jingzhao is in danger, please the emperor immediately appoint military generals to lead the troops to quell the chaos."

"Suppressing and pacifying the chaos, there is no time to delay, please the emperor immediately issue an order..."

"..."

The courtiers knelt on the ground, shouting loudly.

The emperor in the high position stared at the courtiers who were kneeling on the ground. The blood in his eyes did not disappear, but he became more and more frightened.

The dead silence was so overwhelming that the courtiers didn't even dare to take a breath.

I don't know how long it took, the emperor's voice sounded neither happy nor angry: "According to the views of all the gentlemen, who should I send to Shandong to pacify the chaos? Only then can we win, win, grasp, and grasp?"

The last four words, he bit lightly and hard, each one seemed to be squeezed out between his teeth.

There was silence in the hall.

No one dared to say more than half a word, recommending a general is a small matter, but what the words "sure to win" mean, no one present is clear, if you are not careful, you will lose your head.

The situation in Shandong is complicated, and riots often occur, which have caused headaches for the emperors of the Zhou Dynasty.

No matter who goes, I am afraid there is no certainty that they will win.

The emperor sneered: "All Aiqings, think clearly, this battle is guaranteed to be won but not allowed to be defeated. Otherwise, my majesty will be lost, and my majesty will be lost to mere thieves.

The marquis of Changxing is full of criminals, the people are angry all over the world, and there are frequent riots in various places. If this battle cannot be played with the majesty of the Zhou Dynasty, it will encourage Li Qiguang and the arrogance of the rebel forces in various places.

When the world is in turmoil, if the vassal king rebels...

The emperor closed his eyes suddenly.

If the emperor's younger brother Yin Lixing was still there, how could these bandits dare to deceive the Yin family?

Now that the emperor's younger brother Yin Lixing is dead, it has become an excuse for these thieves to rebel.

Consider it ridiculous!

The courtiers knelt on the ground, not even daring to lift their eyes, they were timid and trembled on the spot.

The emperor suddenly laughed angrily: "What? Are you all being dumb? I remember that at the beginning, the prince killed a few officials who didn't want to assist in the war in the northern border, but only wanted to escape. , talk about how King You is self-respecting, and you want to declare King You into the capital to ask for the crime..."

But now that King You is dead, there is no one available in the court? !

As soon as King You was mentioned, the courtiers were dripping with cold sweat on a hot day, sweating heavily on their shirts.

The atmosphere of silence completely angered the emperor in high position. He shouted: "The Ministry of War, where is the Minister of War, Lord Xu? The Ministry of War is in charge of wars in various places, and you also want to be dumb?"

The newly appointed Minister of War, Lord Xu, immediately stepped out of the crowd and knelt to the ground with a "thump".

The emperor clearly saw it, and there was a wet red patch on the back of his red official uniform: "Who do you think is worthy of this post?"

Master Xu's body trembled, and even though he knelt down on the ground, he could still feel that the king fell on him, his eyes full of murderous intent, and he wanted to cry without tears: "Old, old minister, recommended Wei, Ning Yuanhou leads the army Before, go to Shandong to pacify the chaos."

The words "sure of victory" have already demonstrated the importance the emperor places on this battle.

If you recommend some young generals, you will definitely not be able to take on heavy responsibilities. Only veterans with great military exploits, experience and prestige can have more chances of winning.

Of course, he didn't want to offend Ning Yuanhou either.

The death of King You and Ning Yuanhou were inseparable.

But the emperor also only downgraded the imperial concubine Lu Huanggui to the second-rank Concubine Lan, and the Weining Houfu, only the second-rank Ningyuanhoufu, so it can be seen that the emperor still uses the Ningyuanhoufu.

However, among the honorable veterans in the capital, those who were too old to go on the expedition, and those like the Marquis of Zhenguo who had the merit of following the dragon and could not be offended by their ancestors were excluded.

Only the downgraded Ning Yuanhou is the best candidate.

Opening the bow without turning back the arrow, Master Xu gritted his teeth secretly: "Marquis Changxing is the direct line of Marquis Ningyuan, and the two families are related by marriage. King You died in a wrongful way. Of course, Marquis Changxing is unforgivable, but Marquis Weining also condoned the fault, although the emperor punished him. After defeating Marquis Ning Yuan, it is also difficult to calm the people's anger, and it is difficult to block the public's voices. Sending Marquis Ning Yuan to lead troops to suppress and pacify the chaos is the opportunity for Marquis Ning Yuan to redeem his merits."

The emperor listened, his eyes uncertain.

Master Xu was terrified and continued to say: "Marquis Ningyuan has made great achievements in battle. Three years ago, the Di people aggressively invaded the northern border. Although it was due to King You and his son's efforts to turn the tide, it was also due to Marquis Ningyuan who came to the aid of Marquis Ningyuan. It will surely deter the rebel army, suppress the rebellion in Shandong, and then make unparalleled achievements for the court."

Words and sentences, their words make sense.

The courtiers below buried their heads and did not dare to show their heads.

And Ning Yuanhou, who was named, even had his eyes darkened, and he almost didn't faint on the spot.

Li Qiguang, who is a remnant of the Guru, has been entrenched in Shandong for generations. It can be said that it is deeply rooted and intertwined. The strong dragon cannot suppress the snakes in the land. Once he leads the troops, he will not only face the chaos army under Li Qiguang's hands, but also all kinds of guns. stab in the back.

In the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty, many generals were buried in Shandong.

He also has no certainty of victory.
