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

Li Haicheng curled his lips as he looked at Hong Li, whom he had firmly under his control. It felt really wonderful to hold the eldest prince of Dafeng Kingdom hostage.

"Haha! Your Majesty! How old are you this year? Are you married?"

Hong Li had a layer of sweat on his forehead. He felt that this place was not like the human world. He never thought that the eldest prince of the Dafeng Kingdom would fall to the gathering place of rebels, bandits and mountain gangsters.

They also elected him as the so-called Emperor of Yunzhou.

These bandits certainly don't have such political foresight.

The biggest and most fundamental reason why these rebel bandits were able to succeed was that they had an extremely powerful military advisor.

Military Advisor Zhang Fangliang!

Hong Li is now in a state of chaos where no one can get help from him, whether it is heaven or earth.

Before coming to Southern Xinjiang,

Hong Li heard about the deeds of his seventh brother, King Hongxuan of Zhenbei.

His seventh brother Hongxuan was a master at using troops, and his personal guards and soldiers were willing to die for him.

Voice:

"How did Hongxuan lead the troops? It is so difficult to lead troops. This prince has no prestige at all, and no soldier believes in him. How did Hongxuan manage to lead 100,000 troops in the northern border in such a short period of time?"

Hong Li's information was still at the point where Hong Xuan had taken control of the 100,000 frontier troops at the northern border.

He didn't know that Hongxuan had led his troops to destroy 180,000 cavalrymen of the Northern Shang Kingdom and occupied Baidi City.

If he knew, he would be even more impressed by Zhenbei King Hongxuan.

Hong Li was now in a trance, and he felt as if a butcher's knife was placed on his neck.

As a puppet emperor, he could be beheaded at any time.

I only heard a scolding voice in my ear:

"Humph!"

"I am asking you a question. What? Your Majesty has just become the Emperor of Yunzhou, and you are too disdainful to answer my question?"

Hong Li trembled and looked quickly at Li Haicheng, who had a murderous look on his face.

"Reporting! Prime Minister! I am not feeling well and did not hear what you said just now."

Li Haicheng narrowed his eyes and said:

"Hongli! You are the emperor now, why are you still talking about this prince? Why don't you want to be the emperor?"

Hong Li hurriedly said:

"I! I want you to handle all the affairs of Yunzhou, Prime Minister."

Li Haicheng smiled and said:

"This Prime Minister has a daughter named Li Meihua, who is 28 years old and still waiting to be married. I will choose an auspicious day to marry my daughter to you as your queen!"

Hong Li showed a look of horror:

"Prime Minister! Prime Minister, I already have a concubine. Nowadays, wars are frequent and my throne is unstable. The matter of marrying the Prime Minister's daughter will be discussed after the imperial power is stabilized!"

Before Prime Minister Li Haicheng could get angry.

At this time, under the hall, a crude bandit, barefoot and with his shirt open, spoke with a voice like thunder:

"Prime Minister! No! Meihua and I have been childhood sweethearts. You can't marry Mei'er to this pretty boy!"

"Plum Blossom! She is my Deng Fan's woman, Emperor! You want to steal my woman? This general will chop you to pieces!"

Li Haicheng scolded with a gloomy face:

"Deng Fan! What is your background? You should know your identity."

"How can such a vulgar thing compare with the royal bloodline of Dafeng?"

Li Meihua had been waiting in the cabinet of the main hall, listening to her father's plan to marry her to the eldest prince of the current Dafeng Kingdom.

She was overjoyed and excited.

Li Meihua dressed up carefully

A heavily made-up, extremely vulgar woman came into the hall.

She fell in love with the handsome Hong Li at first sight.

The rough man Deng Fan stared at Li Meihua, who was wearing heavy makeup, with his eyes wide open.

But two of Hongli's three souls were scared away.

He looked at the woman at the bottom of the stairs. As a member of the royal family, how could he possibly marry the woman of this bandit leader as his queen?

Hong Li's face turned pale when he saw the extremely ugly concubine.

Military Advisor Zhang Fangliang stood up first and bowed:

"Congratulations to Emperor Yunzhou for marrying the Prime Minister's daughter, Li Meihua, as his queen!"

Except for Deng Fan, all the bandits and rebels wearing weird official uniforms stood up to congratulate him.

Zhang Fangliang said to Hong Li:

"Emperor of Yunzhou! Since you have chosen an auspicious day to marry the Prime Minister's daughter, you must inform Emperor Dingwen of Dafeng State of the news!"

"I believe that after hearing this, Emperor Dingwen of Dafeng will definitely be happy for you, Emperor Yunzhou!"

This was a plan that had been formulated earlier by military advisor Zhang Fangliang and rebel leader Li Haicheng.

Not only do we need to control Hongli.

Moreover, Hongli must become a complete enemy of Emperor Dingwen.

Although all this was not the wish of the eldest prince Hongli himself, it was not what he wanted to do.

But none of this is the point.

Military advisor Zhang Fangliang will naturally have a good plan.

"Scout!"

A team of scouts arrived outside the hall.

"My subordinate is here!"

"Spread the news that the Emperor of Yunzhou is marrying the Prime Minister's daughter, Li Meihua, and let the officials of Dafeng know!"

"Subordinates obey orders!"

After the scouts led by him left with their characters

Military advisor Zhang Fangliang said to Li Haicheng.

"Prime Minister, there are ten counties in Yunzhou!"

"Every county has a lot of food, money, and people!"

"These are the cornerstones of our conquest of the world, so these county officials must be firmly under our control."

After listening to this, Li Haicheng nodded and said:

"What the military advisor said is indeed reasonable! Kill all the officials in these county cities and replace them with our own people!"

"All officials in Dafeng State are unreliable and should be killed. Only when our brothers become the governors of the county city can this Prime Minister feel at ease."

Military Advisor Zhang Fangliang shook his head and said:

"The Prime Minister must not be killed!"

"Prime Minister, summon these ten county governors to the palace immediately!"

"If they don't come, we will send soldiers to kill them. If the county governor comes, not only can we not kill him, but we will also entrust him with important tasks."

After military advisor Zhang Fangliang finished speaking,

He spoke to the group of bandits and rebels in the audience.

"Military officers are responsible for fighting wars, while civil officials are responsible for governing the country and government affairs!"

"Who among you is willing to manage the counties?"

Military Advisor Zhang Fangliang just finished speaking

Under the hall, almost everyone stood up. Managing a county and being a county governor was certainly a lucrative job.

Military Advisor Zhang Fangliang smiled and then said to everyone below:

"Before I assisted the Prime Minister, I was the first place winner of the second class of the imperial examination for the Great Feng Kingdom! I resigned from my post because I could not stand the corruption in the officialdom!"

"But! Managing local government affairs does not require military force, but civil servants. Is there a minimum level of education among you who is a scholar? Of course, it would be even better if there are scholars who have passed the imperial examinations!"

Managing counties and fighting wars are completely different, so of course literacy is required.

As soon as Zhang Fangliang said this.

Everyone in the hall was silent. They had never been educated. They were all bandits, not to mention scholars or the like.

Li Haicheng looked at his military advisor Zhang Fangliang and said:

"If soldiers in war were to manage local government affairs, not only would they not be able to manage the affairs properly, but a host of unforeseen problems would also arise!"

"The government of Yunzhou, which we just conquered, is unstable! If we allow soldiers and generals with banditry to manage local government affairs, it will collapse!"

Li Haipeng certainly understood this truth.

"Military Advisor, of course this Prime Minister understands that military commanders can expand territory, and civil officials can stabilize the country!"

"Now that we have occupied the base in Yunzhou, we need stability! What we lack are civil servants!"

"But what I am worried about is that these people will not sincerely serve us. Does the military advisor have any good ideas?"

If Li Haicheng wants to achieve great things, he can't just rely on rebels and bandits.
