Chapter 104 Wunan Mansion 800 Miles Urgent!(1/2)
"Your Majesty, the situation is critical, and the princes are coming fiercely. This is the latest information from General Yuwen..."
Yan Xiliang took a few notes in his hand and read them out with a trembling voice.
Boom~
Baiguan's mind was like a bolt from the blue.
The King of Jin and others rebelled.
The three kings of Yunchuan Dao also rebelled.
Even the princes in the northwest are holding high the banner of righteousness and want to join forces with the King of Jin to overthrow the imperial court.
The slogans of the princes are "Qing the king's side, killing Wang Yuan".
This made Taiwei Wang Yuan almost faint.
The princes combined totaled 800,000 troops.
This does not include other small forces.
If the princes attack Shuntian Mansion, he will surely be blamed for his death.
With a "pop" sound, Emperor Feng Jing directly threw the wooden plate and medicine bowl that were still cold on the table to the ground.
"Are you just going to report my worries?" Emperor Fengjing scolded angrily, "Back then you said that very few princes in the world would dare to rebel, but now even the three kings of the northwest have rebelled. Yan Xiliang, don't you have any countermeasures?"
"And you, Wang Yuan, what are you doing standing still?"
"Do you want me to ask the princes to withdraw their troops now?"
Emperor Feng Jing felt his blood pressure soar and his face turned red.
"I am guilty." Wang Yuan knelt down directly. He did not expect that the reduction of vassal status would cause such a big turmoil.
When it comes to the princes' own interests, they are very decisive in their rebellion.
The imperial court wanted to reduce the vassal status.
The vassal princes and princes will raise troops to overthrow the court.
"Your Majesty, calm down." Yan Xiliang took a deep breath and said, "The situation is not optimistic now. With General Yuwen guarding the front line, there will be no problems for the time being. Your Majesty will immediately issue an order for all the soldiers and horses in all counties and counties to mobilize to help encircle and suppress the Jin Dynasty."
"At the same time, the imperial court should let officials from counties and counties in the northwest recruit soldiers to deal with the rebellion of the northwest princes."
"His Royal Highness the King of Han is also in danger in Wunan Mansion at the moment. Your Majesty can order His Highness the King of Han to guard the important town of Wunan Mansion to prevent the northwest princes from going south..."
"If the situation goes bad, Your Majesty can order His Royal Highness the King of Han to retreat to Wuguan to garrison. Wuguan is the last great pass to defend the northwest..."
"In today's war situation, the key is to prevent the army of the northwest princes from going south to merge with the Jin Dynasty."
Yan Xiliang spoke out all the countermeasures in his mind, but at the same time he felt a little unwilling.
On weekdays, His Majesty is neither cold nor indifferent to himself.
Seeing that he was being suppressed by Wang Yuan's lineage, he turned a blind eye.
Now that chaos is approaching, no one except himself is willing to stand up and make suggestions.
Because once this kind of thing is not handled well, the person who makes the suggestions will be the one who takes the blame.
But Yan Xiliang doesn't care.
Contributing to the imperial court is his duty as prime minister.
"Accurate!"
Emperor Fengjing saw that Yan Xiliang had clear thinking and immediately agreed to his plan. At the same time, he looked deeply at Wang Yuan and was extremely unhappy.
All this was caused by Wang Yuan's insistence on reducing the vassal status.
But Emperor Fengjing also knew that even if he did not move the princes now, this day would come.
It's just a matter of coming early and coming late.
"Your Majesty, I have this report." A Confucian official came out and said, "The reason why the princes raised armies is due to the king's policy of cutting down the feudal vassals. As long as your majesty kills Wang Yuan and sends people to calm the minds of the princes, this chaos will disappear.
But it can be calmed down and the relationship between the princes and the court can be eased..."
Confucian officials originally disliked Wang Yuan, a connoisseur.
Now, they will naturally not give up the opportunity to add insult to injury.
Yan Xiliang frowned and was about to reprimand him, but there were so many officials speaking out that he had no chance to speak.
Nowadays, the internal stability of the imperial court is the most important thing.
Although Yan Xiliang had some objections to Wang Yuan, he would not take this opportunity to take advantage of others' danger.
"Your Majesty, I second the proposal. As long as Wang Yuan is killed, the anger of the princes can be calmed."
"Your Majesty, the Legalists have always gone too far. If the princes want to clear the emperor's side, your Majesty can just kill Wang Yuan."
"I second the proposal."
"I second the proposal."
"I second the proposal."
"..."
The ministers who had a bad relationship with Wang Yuan all said that they would not give up until Wang Yuan was killed.
"Everyone."
"Since you said that killing the old minister will bring peace to the world."
"Then what do I have to fear?"
"If the old minister's head can make the princes withdraw their troops, your majesty can just chop it off."
Wang Yuan also looked forward to death. Now he also knew that the chaos in the world was closely related to him, so he simply took off his official hat and kowtowed to Emperor Fengjing.
Emperor Feng Jing had a group of ugly faces.
These courtiers have all their bad ideas.
The princes raised the banner of "Qing Jun, kill Wang Yuan" is just a slogan.
Could it be that by killing Wang Yuan, these guys with wolfish ambitions can retreat?
Emperor Feng Jing thought this was impossible for the first time.
Facts have proved that Emperor Feng Jing's idea was right.
Historically, after the King of Zhou ascended the throne, the princes began to rebel.
The young king of Zhou decisively killed Wang Yuan on the advice of Confucian officials.
But in the end, it was Yuwen Yuanzhen who fought hard and put down the rebellion.
"Your Majesty, please order Wang Yuan to be beheaded."
"Your Majesty, give me the decree!"
"His Majesty...."
Seeing Emperor Fengjing's silence, the Confucian officials spoke out again.
"Report!"
"800 miles urgent, 800 miles urgent..."
Just as Emperor Feng Jing was silent, the voice of messengers sounded outside the imperial study room again.
Yan Xiliang immediately went out of the imperial study to receive the information.
When he learned that the military information was sent by Guo Tianyi, King of Han Dynasty, Yan Xiliang's heart also "thumped".
Could it be that His Highness the King of Han could not hold on any longer and asked for reinforcements?
"Your Majesty, this is the information sent by His Highness the King of Han."
"Yan Xiliang, read quickly!"
When Emperor Fengjing heard the news about the northwest, he could no longer sit still.
If the northwest princes move south, the situation will become extremely difficult.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Yan Xiliang opened the sealed seal and began to read.
"On the third day of the eleventh month, King Yan held a banquet for his ministers and ambushed the officials who opposed the uprising..."
"His Royal Highness the King of Han and the Dong family father and son cooperated internally and externally, led two thousand troops to occupy the palace, captured King Yan alive, and Wunan Mansion was pacified..."
When he read this, Yan Xiliang's voice was already trembling.
The other officials also widened their eyes.
But the next piece of information made their eyes pop out in shock.
"His Royal Highness the King of Han sent Li Ming to ask for help from King Lu, lured the snake out of the cave, and defeated King Lu's 40,000-strong army at Yelang Mountain..."
To be continued...
