Emperor: When will the Seventh Prince rebel? I will open the city gates to welcome him.

Emperor Dingwen Hongjing looked at all the officials and said coldly:

"You gentlemen want to punish the King of Zhenbei. Who of you should be sent to punish him? Who dares to go in your current state?"

"When the King of Zhenbei led his troops, he used a thousand old and weak soldiers to directly kill a thousand strong and strong soldiers. Even the Kyoto General Hong Xiuzhi was killed!"

"None of the assassins who came to kill him survived,"

"When he passed by the Hungry Wolf Gang, he used only 1,700 soldiers to wipe out nearly 10,000 bandits. Who among you dares to go in front of him and punish him?"

"Just because Zhenbei Wang Hongxuan has a decisive and murderous character, you want to punish him. Do you think your life is too long?"

When Emperor Dingwen said this, all the officials in the Hall of Supreme Harmony fell silent.

He said to Shen Qian, the chief eunuch in front of the emperor:

"Read it!"

"It's your Majesty!"

Shen Qian, the chief eunuch in front of the emperor, read aloud the memorial in his hand:

"Zhenbei Wang Reports to His Father"

"I, the Prince of Zhenbei, respectfully submit this memorial to report to your father the situation in Yuzhou.

On my way to Northern Yan, I passed through Yuzhou and saw that the people were displaced, their lives were hopeless, there were starving people everywhere, and the people were living in misery.

In Yuzhou city, Song's governor Song Yushan and more than 30 officials were corrupt, abused their power, oppressed the people, imposed heavy taxes and levies, and embezzled relief funds and grain, causing the people to suffer greatly.

In order to protect the safety of the people and uphold justice, I have already executed all these evil officials.

Yuzhou and Northern Yan are adjacent to each other. Your son, the King of Zhenbei, is willing to lead Yuzhou, rectify the administration of officials, comfort the people and ensure the country's security, so that Yuzhou can return to prosperity.

I beg Your Majesty to grant me the important task of commanding Yuzhou.

I, the son, the King of Zhenbei, will do my utmost to live up to my father's trust and devote myself to the prosperity of Dafeng.

My son, the King of Zhenbei, Qi Bi

March 21, the 23rd year of the reign of Emperor Dafeng

All the ministers in the Hall of Supreme Harmony were silent.

Emperor Dingwen glanced at everyone

"Ministers, please listen! Is the memorial sent by Zhenbei King Hongxuan true?"

"Whose crime is greater, Song the governor or Zhenbei Wang Hongxuan?"

"I heard that before Zhenbei King Hongxuan beheaded Governor Song, he made an agreement with him that if ten people came out to plead for Governor Song, then Hongxuan would let him go. But what happened next was that the people took out bran and vegetable leaves and threw them at Governor Song!"

"After Governor Song was beheaded, the people cheered collectively! Some even knelt down and called the King of Zhenbei, "Live a thousand years, live a thousand years, live a thousand thousand years!" Governor Song's life was really a disgrace to his official robes!"

"I have made up my mind! The land of Yuzhou will be given to Zhenbei King Hongxuan as his vassal land!"

All the officials in the Hall of Supreme Harmony knew what Emperor Dingwen Hongjing meant.

Not only did he try his best to protect Hongxuan, but he also gave the land of Yuzhou to King Zhenbei Hongxuan.

Crown Prince Hongze and Second Prince Hongxiong were both completely stunned.

I thought Hongxuan would definitely be punished this time.

But he didn't expect that his father, Emperor Dingwen, not only did not punish him, but also approved the memorial of the Prince of Zhenbei to lead the land of Yuzhou.

"Retreat!"

"Our emperor is wise and mighty, long live the emperor!"

Yuzhou City Provincial Administration Office.

King Hongxuan of Zhenbei sat on the main seat with a majestic horse and a golden sword.

Below him stood Deng Daomu, the commander of Yuzhou, and a group of military officers and officials.

The officials in Yuzhou were terrified.

The entire Yuzhou City has been surrounded by the personal soldiers of King Zhenbei. Even if they want to mobilize troops, they can't get out.

There were not many soldiers and horses in the entire Yuzhou, only 30,000, and these 30,000 Yuzhou soldiers were scattered all over the place.

King Hongxuan of Zhenbei assembled more than 7,000 personal guards.

Moreover, it is known that the King of Zhenbei is good at using troops, and all his soldiers are tigers, wolves and lions.

Commander Deng Daomu said respectfully:

"King of Zhenbei, when will you set off?"

Hong Xuan smiled and said, "I am going to wait for the result here. Killing Governor Song is no small matter!"

Commander-in-chief Deng Daomu looked extremely ugly.

I thought: This is not a small matter? This is a huge matter! King Zhenbei, you are rebelling. Although His Majesty is your father, your sins are too great. It is possible that His Majesty will send troops to wipe out your rebel army.

If a fight really breaks out, will the King of Zhenbei be the first to kill me? The best outcome would be to become his hostage.

Hong Xuan seemed to see through their thoughts and said with a smile:

"I have already told you before, don't worry, you will get the result soon, you are all my subordinates."

"Deng Daomu! What is the current military situation in the entire Yuzhou?"

Commander Deng Daomu bowed and said:

"The entire Yuzhou has two armies and six battalions, with a total of 30,000 troops, and each battalion has 5,000 troops."

King Zhenbei nodded with satisfaction:

"As soon as my father's imperial edict arrives, you will immediately mobilize all the six battalions of the two armies!"

"When the time comes, I will reorganize these troops. There are only 30,000 people, divided into six battalions and two armies. How can we form a fighting force?"

The commander-in-chief Deng Daomu thought to himself: You have just killed all the officials appointed by the imperial court, and you are thinking of commanding the troops in Yuzhou soon. Do you think the imperial court is run by your family?

Indeed, the imperial court was run by his family!

But having committed such a serious crime, there is no way the imperial court would really allow the Prince of Zhenbei to lead Yuzhou!

Although the territory of the King of Zhenbei is the land of Northern Yan and is adjacent to the area of ​​Yuzhou, does the crime of beheading the governor not count?

Three days later!

"Eight hundred miles urgent!"

"Eight hundred miles of rush, His Majesty's decree!"

It was not the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict, but the imperial guards around His Majesty.

The imperial guards were wearing flying fish uniforms and holding the imperial edict and seal in their hands.

The surviving officials in Yuzhou were all sweating with fear when they saw this bold and reckless Jinyi guard.

Why did you come here alone?

The officials of Yuzhou looked curiously at the official seal in the hands of the Jinyi guard.

Isn't it to hold Zhenbei King Hongxuan accountable?

He came to the Yuzhou City Provincial Administration Office with the imperial edict in his hand.

Prince Zhenbei and his personal guards half-knelt to receive the order.

The officials of Yuzhou held their breath.

The Jinyiwei guards said loudly:

According to heaven’s destiny, the emperor issued an edict:

I am grateful to the King of Zhenbei for his loyalty and bravery and outstanding achievements, so I specially grant him the land of Yuzhou. From then on, the military and political power of Yuzhou was under the control of the King of Zhenbei.

I hope that the King of Zhenbei will be impartial, be loyal to the emperor and serve the country, maintain the peace of Yuzhou, and protect the well-being of the people.

Admire this!

When the officials of Yuzhou heard the imperial edict read out by the Jinyi Guards, they were in disbelief.

There was no mention of the fact that Prince Zhenbei had beheaded Governor Song, and it was also said that Prince Zhenbei was loyal and brave and had made outstanding contributions.

this! this!

The officials in Yuzhou wondered if they had heard wrongly.

And Hongxuan seemed to have known this result long ago.

"Father, your grace is so great!"

The Jinyi guard held up the official seal of Yuzhou and handed it to the King of Zhenbei:

"Prince Zhenbei, this is the seal of Yuzhou territory bestowed upon you by His Majesty!

When the officials in Yuzhou heard this, they were even more terrified.

With this seal of fiefdom bestowed by the emperor, it will mean that Yuzhou will belong to the Prince of Zhenbei from now on.

From now on, all affairs of Yuzhou, big or small, will be managed by the King of Zhenbei.

All military and political power in Yuzhou is decided by King Zhenbei.
