The Crown Princess is reborn, and the three treasures compete to burn the family tree

"Ridiculous! Absolutely ridiculous!" Lu Lingyun closed Xu Ziyi's letter and slammed the table angrily.

Although he had been in Baidi City for many years, he still knew everything about the court.

The emperor's move was undoubtedly to destroy the foundation of the Great Zhou and to destroy his own city walls.

"The ten cities in the northern border have not been taken yet, and the northern barbarians are eyeing them covetously. They have never concealed their ambition to move south. The reason they have not moved south is because of the intimidation of King Yong. The emperor is not a human ruler, and he will not rule the country!"

He had known long ago that the emperor was stupid and vicious, and in order to secure his throne, he would not allow the Prince Yong's Palace to grow larger.

Eight years ago, Prince Yong was assassinated when he returned to Beijing and has been seriously injured ever since. He thought this was his limit.

However, Lu Lingyun did not expect that the emperor could be so stupid as to want to get rid of Prince Yong directly.

If he were to sit idly by and watch the emperor eliminate King Yong, the northern barbarians would move south in an instant, and the entire Great Zhou would be devastated.

Lu Lingyun said in a deep voice: "Where is Prince Yong now?"

Qiu Bo said, "I only know that Prince Yong's Mansion left the capital and headed south a month ago, but I don't know where it is now."

Lu Lingyun pondered for a while and said, "Please invite the young lady here."

"Master."

Speak of the devil, and he will appear. Jiang Li happened to be there.

Lu Lingyun handed the letter to Jiang Li. After she finished reading it, Lu Lingyun said, "Li'er, what do you think we should do?"

Lu Lingyun is the leader of the literati, and his attitude can play a decisive role at critical moments.

If he chooses to support the emperor, then he will just let the emperor do what he wants and watch from the sidelines.

If he supports Prince Yong's Palace, Baidi City will inevitably be caught up in the storm, and Jiang Li, who has just returned to the palace, will inevitably be involved in the struggle for power again.

Jiang Li had to leave Baidi City.

"The northern barbarians are watching closely, the Prince Yong's Mansion must not fall."

Jiang Li's eyes were clear. She took out the map and presented it to Lu Lingyun.

"Master, there may be a next emperor in this country, but now the only one who can intimidate the northern barbarians is Prince Yong's Mansion."

The map had already been marked. Now the northern barbarians were stationed in the northern border. Except for the south which was relatively stable in the Great Zhou, the rest of the country was in turmoil and uprisings were happening one after another.

Even without Prince Yong's Palace, the Great Zhou would surely collapse under the high pressure.

"Do you know this man, Prince Yong?"

Lu Lingyun glanced at the map and stroked his beard.

Chu Ninghan is known as the God of War outside, but because he is blind and seriously injured, he rarely appears in public, and few people know him.

But, some time ago, Jiang Li had interacted with him.

"I can't say I understand, but Master, I saw it with my own eyes in the Ever-Victorious Army. Commoners can be granted titles based on their military merits."

In the army, Chu Ninghan recruits people based on their talent regardless of their background.

Lu Lingyun's hands trembled and his eyes widened.

There is no doubt that Chu Ninghan's move is to undermine the roots of the nobles!

The nobles of the Great Zhou Dynasty were hereditary nobles, and their descendants all stood on the merits of their ancestors, and their status was determined solely by their birth.

It is obvious that once the policy of conferring titles based on military merit is implemented throughout the country, the deep-rooted status quo of the Zhou Dynasty, where commoners are born and their descendants are all commoners, and the status quo of the nobles being the mud under their feet, will inevitably be broken. The Ever-Victorious Army will surely sweep across the country without any hindrance.

"But, the Changsheng Army is now in Kyoto, and the emperor has already gathered the Changsheng Army. General Changsheng has betrayed Prince Yong's Mansion because of his family."

"The southern part of the Great Zhou was once the fief of Prince Yong. Now, the one who can command the southern counties must be Prince Yong."

In fact, not only the southern counties, but also the north, especially the border near the northern barbarians, all obeyed Chu Ninghan's orders.

Jiang Li paused, and then added: "Last year's water conservancy project was only possible with the help of Prince Yong's Mansion as a cover."

To accomplish anything, harmony between heaven, earth and people is essential, and harmony between people is the most difficult to obtain. Chu Ninghan has already won people's hearts.

Jiang Li said in a deep voice: "This year's climate may be worse than last year, and it will get worse in the next two years. If Prince Yong dies, Prince Yong's palace will be destroyed, the northern barbarians will come south to fight and plunder, and coupled with natural disasters, the people will inevitably suffer."

Even if she had built water conservancy projects in advance to prevent natural disasters and man-made disasters, the tragic scene of starvation in the previous life would still have happened again.

Whether in public or in private, she would choose to stand by Chu Ninghan.

Lu Lingyun looked at Jiang Li with a look of relief, "Okay, I have something to ask, would Li'er be willing to do it for me?"

"It's up to the Master to tell you."

Jiang Li nodded, his face solemn.

Lu Lingyun smiled and said, "As Lu Lingyun's disciple, go and help King Yong, help him suppress the rebellion against Xiao, reform the old ways, and establish a new dynasty."

Lu Lingyun said these words lightly, which were tantamount to treason, and Jiang Li was not surprised, nor did he refuse.

She said in a resolute voice: "Yes, Master, I will live up to your expectations."

After the emperor ordered the Yongwang Mansion to commit treason and execute Chu Ninghan, the whole world was shocked.

The counties in the north and south all refused to obey the emperor's orders. The emperor ordered the Ever-Victorious Army to suppress the resistance. Suddenly, public resentment boiled over, and the northern barbarians unsurprisingly sent troops south, putting the northern border in danger of being lost again.

"The emperor is a traitor. He once committed adultery with Concubine Mei and gave birth to a rebellious daughter! He plotted to murder the previous emperor, tampered with the imperial edict, and did all kinds of evil things. He is truly disloyal, unfilial, unkind, and unjust! He is unfit to be a king!"

"Last year's autumn hunting punishment, the sudden wildfire, was a clear proof of this!"

"Eliminate the tyrants and welcome the Holy Spirit!"

Countless true and false rumors spread rapidly, and some fatal rumors even started in Kyoto.

For example, the emperor had committed adultery with Concubine Mei and gave birth to a rebellious daughter.

What a coincidence, last year the emperor overpowered all the ministers and insisted on making Xie Yan the princess, so the rebellious girl must be Xie Yan!

The Yongning Marquisate was once again pushed to the forefront of public opinion, and all the officials knelt outside the palace gate, asking the emperor to revoke the imperial edict to execute Chu Ninghan and to issue an edict of repentance.

In this situation, even a fool like the emperor knew that the situation was reversed and would be unfavorable to him.

The emperor urgently summoned Marquis Yongning, but.

"Your Majesty, Marquis Yongning is no longer in the capital!"

The Yongning Marquis Mansion is now deserted, and no one knows when Xie Xingjing and Xie Yulang left.

The emperor was furious, "Xie Xingjing, I should have taken off his head long ago!"

Xie Xingjing was the only person in the world who knew about his affair with Concubine Mei, as well as his involvement in the assassination of the late emperor and the late King Yong.

But Xie Xingjing had saved him before, and he had evidence in his hand, which led to Xie Xingjing finding the opportunity to escape from the capital and become a monk. Now that Xie Xingjing has returned, he should be killed directly.

The emperor immediately issued an order that anyone who dared to mention his attempt to murder the previous emperor and usurp the throne would be thrown into prison.

He also suppressed all the officials who forced him to issue a self-criticism edict by force and summoned the Changsheng Army to drive them away.

However, the rumors became more and more true and could no longer be stopped.

Everyone in Kyoto is in danger, and everyone knows that the Great Zhou Yao may change the world.

In Rongdu, from north to south, countless letters were delivered to the government office.

Among them, the news from the northern border is the most urgent. The northern barbarians have assembled 300,000 troops and are heading directly south. The Great Zhou is in danger!
