The turmoil in the empire seemed to be an opportunity for some people. They immediately smelled it. Sun Quan sent an envoy to Xiangyang to meet with the four commanders of Yingchuan, and at the same time he stepped up training of troops and was ready to move.
Zhang Zhao laughed and said: "Long Fei is going to destroy himself! A veteran who has made great contributions should be deprived of his property. I don't know what Long Fei thinks."
Lu Su lowered his head: "Your Majesty, we have to be careful about this matter. Long Fei has ignored us for many years. If we get involved, what if..."
"There is no such thing as an emergency. The Governor is overly worried!" Yu Fan said: "The Tianlong Empire is on the verge of collapse. It is a good opportunity for us. If we lose this opportunity, we may never have another chance."
Sun Quan nodded slightly, and everyone understood. Sun Quan had been holding back for so many years, and it was time to break out. The internal fighting in the Tianlong Empire was his only chance, and he missed it. If Long Fei takes control of the situation, their next target will be them.
The Wei Kingdom has been destroyed. If they want to unify, Long Fei has the power at any time. Sun Quan made up his mind and took a deep breath: "My dear friends, I have not said a word since I took the throne. Today's matter must be settled. We
The relationship with the Tianlong Empire has reached its final moment. Either you die or I die. The fall of Wei is a good example. Long Fei will never let a country within a country exist. This matter must be done regardless of success or failure!"
Many courtiers nodded together. Wu State has no way out. If it doesn't fight, it will be annexed by Long Fei silently. Instead of quietly perishing, it will not be a big gamble. It will be a disaster for the world. If it loses, it will be a big deal with Wei State.
Same.
Sun Quan immediately ordered: "Immediately send agents into the Tianlong Empire to contact those civil servants who are unwilling to cooperate with Long Fei. The key is the Fourth Chief of Yingchuan. If we can bring them to our side, the hope of victory will be much greater."
"No!" Yu Fan replied quickly.
Long Fei rushed back to Xiangyang from Yecheng. He had to stay in Xiangyang at this time. As soon as he entered the city, Long Fei immediately went to Jia Xu's house without rest. Jia Xu was the right minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs. As a modern man, Long Fei deeply
He deeply understands the importance of military power. If he holds the army in his own hands, the Dragon Empire will not be able to overthrow the sky. When Long Fei came, Long Sheng was also there.
Long Fei glanced at Long Sheng: "What are you doing here?"
Long Sheng said: "I talked with the right minister about the reorganization of the army. My father came back just in time. The speaker is gathering people to prepare for the re-election of the parliament and ordered the dissolution of the parliament starting tomorrow."
Long Fei had a dark face: "What do you think of Wen He? First tell me, what is the situation in Xiangyang and even the entire empire now? Is it out of control?"
Jia Xu lowered his head and stood quietly. He was also one of the emerging aristocratic families. The Jia family was originally in Liangzhou. Over the years, Long Fei had fought in the north and south. Jia Xu was considered to be Long Fei's most trusted person and had always stayed there.
In Xiangyang, he was supervising the military affairs of the country. If he also defected, Long Fei would be in really big trouble. After a long time, Jia Xu smiled: "The old minister only has his wife and children at home, and his monthly salary is more than enough. Yesterday, the old minister gave all his money
I donated all my stocks so that I could live out my old age peacefully in the future! Your Majesty said that children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, and the more you leave behind, it will only make them indolent and less motivated."
Rather than talking about Jia Xu's current situation, these words are more about Jia Xu thinking about Long Fei's loyalty and that he is on Long Fei's side. Long Fei let out a long breath: "Wen He is the pillar of our country, and Wen He is the pillar of our country." And worry-free in the empire.”
"Father, do you want to send someone to keep those tomorrow people out of the parliament?" Long Sheng was still worried. The Fourth Chief of Yingchuan had a high prestige in the empire. More than half of the senior civil servants in the empire were from Yingchuan. Chuan or Yingchuan students. Xun Yu, the left prime minister of the Ministry of Political Affairs, was one of them. Together, they accounted for half of the country, and they were likely to cause chaos in the management of the empire. The situation could not be ignored.
"No, I didn't tell anyone when I came back this time!" Long Fei thought for a moment: "Immediately send people to Chang'an to recall Fei Yi. This is the last resort!"
That night, both sides began to line up their troops. The military led by Long Fei was relatively quiet. The garrison outside the city had no intention of entering the city. Instead, civilian officials came one after another from various places, either by car or on horseback. They came in through the city gate. None of this escaped Long Fei's eyes. Meng Shuo had found out clearly that their gathering place was in the Fourth Chief's Mansion in the north of the city.
The Fourth Chief's Mansion is also the Speaker's Mansion. It was built by Long Fei according to the pattern of Yingchuan Academy for the four chiefs of Yingchuan to live. At this time, the lights were brightly lit, the lobby was full of people, and the people below were busy preparing for the adults from all over the world. They brought food to them. Yu Fan sat down as a guest under the Fourth Chief. Everyone had the same purpose, and they could not let Long Fei restrict their laws from being implemented under any circumstances. As the economic source of the aristocratic family, the land had been deprived of it. If it was for business, If it is stripped again, how can such a large family survive?
"Teacher! Is Your Majesty really going to push us to a dead end this time?" an official asked the Fourth Chief. This statement attracted everyone's attention and everyone became quiet.
Han Shao smiled: "This law was passed yesterday. We are alone and we are called members of the parliament. In fact, His Majesty is the actual controller of the parliament. There is also that Heibing girl who is always against us. It's really annoying! "
"Don't be impatient, third brother!" Xun Shu, as the spokesperson of the Xun family, the largest family in Yingchuan, this matter is of vital importance to the Xun family's life and death. He looked at Xun Yu, who was frowning at the side, and asked: "Wen Ruo, look at you You frown, are you worried about something?"
Xun Yu heard something about him and said: "Everyone, your Majesty has absolute prestige in the empire. Now others can influence the parliament in Yecheng. If he comes back suddenly, I wonder if you will dare to gather here again? In the hands of your Majesty There are millions of soldiers, and all the generals are loyal to him. As far as I know, the Right Prime Minister Jia Xu donated all his family property yesterday. Everyone knows what this means."
"What does the Left Prime Minister mean, His Majesty will use the army?" Someone asked, and instantly the entire lobby was filled with noise. Many people began to worry, and some people shouted that they were going to fight. The atmosphere became very complicated and panicked. .
Zhong Hao slapped the waiter hard and calmed down the atmosphere. He glanced at everyone and said angrily: "How rude is this? This is how I taught you? What big thing can you do if you are so flustered?"
After everyone settled down again, Zhong Hao pointed to Yu Fan next to him: "Some people know this, some people don't know him. He is Lord Yu Fan, the Minister of the State of Wu. Lord Yu came here to bring news about the King of Wu! "
"Sir Speaker!" Before Zhong Hao could finish speaking, someone interrupted him. Everyone quickly turned around and saw Guo Jia sitting in the corner holding a wine gourd, a little drunk, and her cheeks on both sides were red.
The mouth was open, and the feather fan in his hand kept blowing the wind for himself. Guo Jia did not move: "Everyone, no matter how we make trouble, this is a family matter. Even if it doesn't work, His Majesty will definitely bypass us and survive. If he and Sun Quan
Collusion is treason! There should be someone from the Ministry of Supervision among you, and you should know what the crime of treason is."
When everyone thought about it, it was indeed as Guo Jia said. If you cooperate with Sun Quan, even if you are not killed by Long Fei, you will be despised by everyone. Chen Qian said: "Guo Fengxiao, you are no longer worthy of being my student. From today on, you will also be despised."
If you are not from Yingchuan Academy, please get out!"
Guo Jia did not move. He looked at the superior Fourth Chief and cupped his fists: "Even if I am not from Yingchuan Academy, I am still from Yingchuan. Can't we listen to different opinions in today's discussion?"
"Come on, drive Guo Fengxiao out!" Chen Qian always felt that Guo Jia was unruly and a dissolute child, which he disliked the most.
Chen Qun and Zhong Yao looked at each other, and hurried over to help Guo Jia. The three of them walked out of the door, and the excitement of discussion came from behind again. When they reached a shadowless place, Guo Jia looked at the two of them, shook his head and smiled bitterly:
"You two are smart, I will be the bad guy!"
"Fengxiao is out of touch when he says this. You, me and Wen Ruona are friends, so it's not too much to help!" Chen Qun said, stroking Guo Jia's back.
"Hey!" Zhong Yao sighed: "Uncle and the others have always kept aloof from the world. Unexpectedly, after being here in Xiangyang for less than a year, they were blinded by the feasting and feasting and couldn't see the future. We have to find a way.
Yes, we can't let them do whatever they want!" [Note]
Chen Qun shook his head: "The key to this matter is not that His Majesty wants to restrict officials, but that His Majesty has made up his mind to change the official election system that has been maintained for thousands of years. We aristocratic families can no longer exclusively enjoy the power of being officials. Can the impact be small?"
Zhong Yao smiled and said: "I think Mi Fang is good. If the general doesn't specialize in business, look at him now. He has no carriage, food and fish. It's not bad to have a leisurely time!"
"Why, Brother Zhong also wants to abandon his official position and go into business?"
Zhong Yao shook his head: "I don't have the ability to do business, so I can only rely on my salary to support my family."
The two chatted happily, but they saw that Guo Jia on the side had already slept like a dead pig. The two smiled helplessly, carried Guo Jia out of the door, and prepared to send him home. As soon as they stepped out of the house, the bright and clear
The torches were a bit dazzling. A large number of troops had entered the General Speaker's Palace and surrounded it inside and outside. Standing at the front door was Xu Chu from the personal guard group. Chen Qun and Zhong Yao were shocked. Seeing Xu Chu, they both shouted at the same time.
I thought Long Fei was back.
The two left Guo Jia behind, and Zhong Yao turned around and ran into the house. Chen Qun stood at the door and smiled at Xu Chu: "When did General Xu come back? I wonder if your Majesty is back?"
Xu Chu said: "Recently, there have been many Wu Guocei activities in Xiangyang. By your Majesty's order, we have captured them all! Search them!"
These soldiers were all Long Fei's bodyguards, loyal to Long Fei, and were not even part of the military department's structure. Xu Chu gave an order, and the soldiers rushed forward and broke into the Speaker's Mansion. Acting vigorously and resolutely is Long Fei's style.
A heavy punch hit the vital part of the famous family.
Note: According to historical facts, Zhong Hao is Zhong Yao’s grandfather, Xun Shu is Xun Yu’s grandfather, Xun You’s great grandfather, and Chen Qian is Chen Qun’s grandfather. Here, in order to make their relationship closer, the author refers to them as fathers.
