Next, Lu Changming fully informed Dakang of the current situation.
The third prince, Lu Yuanzhang, ascended to the throne of the emperor. After ruling the court, he killed all the former emperors. In total, he killed more than 360 officials of all sizes!
All military power of the imperial court was in the hands of the new emperor.
After Lu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to expand the army and recruit a large number of soldiers. All major cities across the country issued requirements for recruiting soldiers!
Almost every household has to send a man to join the army!
Lu Yuanzhang knew that the Dayan Dynasty would attack Dakang sooner or later, so he had to prepare as soon as possible to nip it in the bud and welcome the war!
He would never cede the city like Dagan did, and even let the prince be a hostage in order to quell the war. This is simply a shame.
Lu Yuanzhang would not do such a thing, so he had to resist!
The large-scale recruitment of soldiers also caused a large reduction in the labor force in ordinary people's homes. All walks of life were depressed, and the court's tax revenue also decreased. There were even problems with paying military salaries.
So the imperial court ordered to double taxes, and in the end these taxes fell heavily on the people.
Tyranny is as fierce as a tiger!
This is a vicious cycle.
In addition, in order to suppress Dakang, Dayan had already cut off the salt supply to Dakang, so that Daqian would not provide salt to Dakang. It also began to block and suppress other economic fields, which put the entire Dakang dynasty into trouble. In panic!
The current court has not received the news that the Great Yan Dynasty is going to attack Dakang.
However, Dakang had already been gathering soldiers to prepare for Dayan's attack.
At the beginning, Lu Yuanzhang rebelled, and Lu Cangqiong's death was one of the reasons. More importantly, the emperor was unwilling to start a war with Dayan.
Besides, Lu Caihuang has long been married to Emperor Dayan, and has always had a good relationship with Dayan. Even if the relationship between Daqian and Dayan is so bad, they can seek peace, so Dakang's policy is to make peace. expensive.
Lu Yuanzhang and the militant faction are fully opposed. They believe that seeking peace is a humiliation!
Suing for peace will make the other party worse!
Five years ago, Lu Yuanzhang went to Dayan to get married, and secretly poisoned Emperor Luo Pengcheng of Dayan. He thought he had not poisoned Luo Pengcheng, so he married Lu Caihuang.
He has always wanted to deal with Dayan, want to subvert Dayan, and take away Dayan's resources and everything.
Lu Yuanzhang knew that the emperor asked for peace, and he was unwilling to do so, so he cruelly decided to poison the emperor first, secretly join forces with the prime minister, and directly raise troops to rebel!
Now, everything in Dakang is in the hands of Lu Yuanzhang.
With military power in hand, all civil and military officials have surrendered to Lu Yuanzhang!
He wants to take revenge, overthrow the Kang Dynasty, and let Dayan launch the war. This battle will be won!
Dayan has a large number of sky-blasting cannons and sky-blasting thunders. The soldiers' equipment and weapons are very powerful, and the generals are also brave and good at fighting!
Lu Yuanzhang knew that Dayan's army was very strong, but with his style of conduct, no matter how strong the opponent's troops were, he would not seek peace and would definitely resist to the end!
Lu Changming does not want to start a war. If a war breaks out, the people will suffer in the end!
When Dakang is defeated, there will be countless casualties and the whole country will be riddled with holes.
Lu Caihuang also didn't want the people of Dakang to suffer.
So this time Fang Chen came over, he wanted to find a way to overthrow the Dakang royal family, overthrow the court, and find a way to secretly kill Lu Yuanzhang and all his cronies around him!
If Lu Changming takes over, the war can be stopped.
This is the best way!
Coupled with the comprehensive information provided by Longfeng Pavilion, the chance of winning is very high.
When necessary, Longfeng Pavilion will also provide a large number of experts to assist.
The Seventh Prince did not want to be emperor and had no interest in the power of the imperial court, otherwise he would not have escaped into Buddhism back then.
Now that the country is facing a national crisis, the Seventh Prince has already made a choice.
He wants to fight for the throne, sit on the throne of God, save the entire court, and save the people of the world!
Cultivation is about cultivating good deeds and cultivating relationships. As long as it can save the people of the world, Lu Changming is willing to give everything.
They all discussed together until the evening, and everything was settled.
After Lu Changming learned about Fang Chen and His Majesty Dayan's plan, he was deeply moved.
"This time, in order to save our great prosperity, His Majesty went so far as to go on a personal expedition."
"Master Fang has traveled thousands of miles to come with the Queen to help us, Dakang, and even risked his life to sneak into the Dakang royal family."
"Master Dayan and Master Fang's great kindness will be unforgettable to me!"
"Please accept my obeisance from the young monk!"
Lu Changming knelt in front of Fang Chen with an excited expression. Thank you!
"Seventh Prince, please get up quickly!" Fang Chen hurriedly helped Lu Changming up.
"Seventh Prince, you are serious. This action is for the benefit of both of us. Our Majesty is a wise king. This time helping Dakang is also for the sake of the friendship between the two countries and for the common people of the world."
Fang Chen said this, making Lu Changming feel very guilty.
"Our Dakang has hurt Dayan many times, but Dayan repays evil with kindness, which is really shameful!"
"Please rest assured, Mr. Fang, as long as Dakang solves this crisis, we, Dakang and Dayan, will always be friends!"
"Master Fang, let me toast you!"
The two clinked glasses one after another and exchanged glasses.
Seeing this scene, Lu Caihuang finally felt at ease.
Things are going very smoothly.
After everyone had dinner together, Fang Chen said: "Seventh Prince, the Queen will be taken care of by you. Miss Gu and I will find a way to infiltrate the royal family and act according to our plan."
Lu Changming nodded: "Master Fang, you must be careful, we are waiting for your good news!"
Early the next morning, Fang Chen transformed into Liu Dachang and left the manor with Gu Yueru, looking for Liu Dachang's subordinate Zhou Hu to join him.
Zhou Hu is Liu Dachang’s confidant!
According to the information he received, Zhou Hu established a bodyguard bureau in the imperial city called the Tiger King Bodyguard Bureau. In a remote area north of the imperial city, the people in the bodyguard bureau acted very low-key.
On the surface, they help people transport goods, escort people, charge a certain fee, and do serious business. But secretly, they still use escorts as a cover to engage in human trafficking and murder.
Originally, Liu Dachang and his men spent most of their time in Daqian, doing business. After Daqian and Dayan wanted Liu Dachang, a group of them came to Dakang and were protected by the second prince of Dakang.
Moreover, many of their industrial chains have been cut off, and they have become much more restrained in recent months.
The chief bodyguard of the Tiger King Escort Agency is none other than Zhou Hu, an eighth-grade expert who practices external skills.
Currently, Zhou Hu has more than 500 men, scattered in the imperial city and surrounding cities.
Fang Chen and Gu Yueru sat in a carriage and went straight to the Tiger King Escort Agency.
The escort agency is located in a villa, and there are two guards guarding the door.
The carriage stopped at the door of the escort agency.
After Fang Chen and Gu Yueru got out of the car, wearing bamboo hats, two guards surrounded them with evil expressions on their faces.
"Our escort agency is not accepting business recently, please come back, please!"
