Chapter 61 Political War
"Use the emperor to order the princes?" Lin Xiao frowned.
"Let's look at the Daxian Dynasty first. How do you find its system different from that of Yangjian?" Zhong Shan asked without answering.
"The city lord has too much power! There are too many soldiers in each family." Lin Xiao immediately pointed out the key point.
"That's right, the city owner has too much power, this is one, and the other is how about the royal family?" Zhong Shan continued to look at Lin Xiao and asked.
"The emperor is old, and his lifespan is approaching! There are rumors in the world that it is less than five years." Lin Xiao thought for a while.
"Five years? No, half a year at most, the emperor will die." Zhong Shan said with absolute certainty.
"Huh? How come?" Lin Xiao asked in surprise.
"There are rumors in the world that it was less than five years ago. However, two years ago, the emperor fought with a master in order to finally break through and increase his lifespan. In that battle, the emperor won, and his opponent was seriously injured. Is the opponent used by the emperor as a stepping stone really that weak? The emperor did not break through, so is he really unscathed?" Zhong Shan laughed.
"The emperor is also seriously injured!" Lin Xiao said clearly.
"That's right, he was seriously injured, and his lifespan is approaching, so he must die early. As for why he only has half a year to live, it's because I became the Lord of Changcheng." Zhong Shan said in a deep voice.
"The original city lord of Changcheng is a very powerful character. The emperor knew that he was about to die, so he had to pull out some rebellious city lords to pave the way for his successor. Even the new city lord has the heart of disobedience, but the foundation It’s very shallow, and it’s hard to be successful, especially your Majesty, who has no network at all, so it’s the easiest choice to be the owner of the new city.” Lin Xiao said immediately.
"That's right, within a year, the Daxian Dynasty will be in chaos." Zhong Shan concluded in one word.
"Why?" Immediately asked the fairy beside him.
yeah, why? On the land of China, there are many examples of Lao Tzu's death and his son inheriting the throne. Why is Zhong Shan so assertive?
Lin Xiao seemed to have understood Zhong Shan's thoughts.
"Because the prince is weak." Lin Xiao immediately thought of it.
"Yes, it is because the prince is weak. According to the collected information, the prince is only thirteen years old and has ordinary intelligence. Can the cub survive a pack of wolves?" Zhong Shan laughed.
"Then what shall we do?" Lin Xiao asked.
"The world will be in chaos during the Daxian Dynasty. You must train a powerful army as soon as possible to face the battle in the near future." Zhong Shan said.
"Yes!" Lin Xiao replied immediately.
six months later.
The accumulation of troops in Changcheng increased. Under the endless spiritual stones brought by Zhong Shan from Yangjian, the number of troops has doubled. Soon, he reached the level of the original city lord's strength, which was absolutely beyond the imagination of the current emperor.
"Your Majesty, as you said, Emperor Daxian is dead, and the world is nothing!" Lin Xiao said excitedly as he rushed into the hall where Zhong Shan was.
"Remember, call me the city lord for the time being!" Zhong Shan emphasized immediately.
"Yes, the city lord, the old emperor is dead, and he will pass on to the crown prince, An Jianyuan." Lin Xiao said.
"An Jianyuan? He came to the throne at a young age, and his life experience is rough!" Zhong Shan sighed.
"City Master, what should we do now?" Lin Xiao asked.
"Wait and see!"
"Wait and see?" Lin Xiao frowned.
"That's right, besides us, there are many people in the world who are staring at the Imperial Capital Xiancheng. Most of the city owners are staring at An Jianyuan. It's just that it's still a great offering to the world, and no one has made a move." Zhong Shan said in a deep voice. .
"They want the imperial seal in An Jianyuan's hand?" Lin Xiao frowned.
"That's right, the old emperor is dead, let An Jianyuan take over Da Xian Tian Xia, so Da Xian Tian Xia's luck has two sustenances. One is An Jian Yuan, and the other is Chuan Guo Yu Xi! Before An Jianyuan completely refines and refines the Royal Seal of Chuanguo, it is impossible to completely control the luck, and this Great Imperial Seal is what the city lords most want." Zhong Shan said in a deep voice.
"Someone is going to grab it?" Lin Xiao thought for a while.
"Yeah, let's see who's the first one." Zhong Shan said with a smile.
Sure enough, with the passage of time, countless information came from Xiancheng.
Finally, there was a city lord who stood out.
Luo Ye, the city lord of Baekje City, led his troops to rush into Xiancheng, the imperial capital, and snatch the Royal Seal of Chuanguo with his troops. Slaughtered countless loyal ministers who dared to resist in the imperial capital.
In the imperial capital, countless letters for help came quickly, please all the city masters to work hard!
Zhong Shan naturally led his troops there.
In the past half a year, Lin Xiao has grown up very well, and he has trained an army of 800,000 people.
"Zhong Shan, how many city lords do you think will come?" Xianxian thought on the road.
"How much? All come! One is not less." Zhong Shan affirmed.
"All the city lords are coming to King Qin? Isn't the traitor Luo Ye doomed?" Xianxian frowned.
"King Qin? Hehe, no, most of them came here by staring at the Royal Seal of Chuanguo in Luo Ye's hand." Zhong Shan said with affirmative expression.
The city lords of the Thirty Routes camped in a very good place far away from the imperial capital Xiancheng, and made an alliance!
"Lin Xiao, go to the alliance for me, I won't go. Remember these city lords, which city lords are talented and which ones are incompetent, keep them in mind." Zhong Shan said.
"Yes!" Lin Xiao replied immediately.
Zhong Shan stayed to accompany Xianxian, while Lin Xiao went to Huimeng.
After the alliance of the city lords, the next step is to attack the city.
Luo Ye is very strong, but he can be stronger. He is just a city lord with limited troops. Even if most of the 30 city lords here are passive and sabotage, they can slowly drag Luo Ye down.
Luo Ye didn't kill the little emperor, because once the little emperor died, the luck of the great devotion would be gone, even if there was a royal seal of the country, it would be useless.
What followed was a war that lasted nearly half a year.
After all, Luo Ye didn't procrastinate for a long time, and in a fit of rage, he immediately destroyed the palace. He escaped from the imperial capital with the little emperor and the army, and headed towards his base camp, Baekje City.
As soon as Luo Ye fled, the twenty-nine city masters all frantically chased after him.
"City Master, do we want to chase?" Lin Xiao asked immediately.
"No, let's enter the imperial city!" Zhong Shan laughed.
"Yes!" Lin Xiao responded immediately.
"Slay!" Zhong Shan shouted.
"The subordinate is here!" Sha Po responded immediately.
"Go alone to rescue the little emperor An Jianyuan and send it to our Changcheng! No one else will be killed or injured!" Zhong Shan ordered.
"Huh? Don't kill Luo Ye?" Sha Po asked unexpectedly.
"Don't kill, it's best to take the little emperor away without anyone noticing." Zhong Shan said.
"Yes!" Sha Po responded.
Zhong Shan entered the imperial capital Xiancheng, or in other words, among the thirty city masters, only Zhong Shan entered the imperial capital.
In the imperial capital, everyone is in danger. Obviously Luo Ye was too cruel before and killed many people.
Zhong Shan went straight to the ruins of the imperial palace.
Ask Lin Xiao to find the remaining officials. But he looked up at the sky.
Full of luck, faded out a lot.
Not long after, those courtiers who were not dead were brought over.
"Master Zhong, please spare me, I didn't do anything!" An old courtier said in fear.
All the ministers are Wei Nuo Nuo.
"Don't be alarmed, my colleagues. Zhong Shan, like all of you, has dedicated his heart to Da Xian. Da Xian Dynasty has given us everything, and we naturally have to repay it. Now, Luo Ye, a rebellious minister and traitor, ran away with the emperor. I am worried that he will return Will kill back."
"Come back? Will that thief come back?" A timid minister worried.
"Everyone, follow me to a safe place, and wait for His Majesty to be rescued before dedicating your allegiance to him!" Zhong Shan said immediately.
"Here, Lord Zhong..." An official was about to speak.
"Come here, go to the homes of the adults, pack up their things for them, and follow us to Changcheng for refuge." Zhong Shan didn't continue to speak to the officials at all.
In this way, those Manchu officials who were not killed by Luo Ye were brought back to Changcheng under the coercion of Zhong Shan.
When all the city lords chased and killed Luo Ye to Baekje City, they found that the emperor was missing.
The emperor is lost?
There were only a few city lords who stopped chasing Luo Ye and looked for the emperor everywhere. The other city lords all surrounded Baekje City, wanting to destroy the national traitor. Of course, they valued the Royal Seal of Chuanguo more.
In their eyes, Chuan Guo Yu Xi is much more important than the emperor. With the Chuanguo Yuxi, you can use it to draw luck and build your own country.
What can the emperor do? Do you take it back and worship Lao Tzu every day?
When the world besieged Baekje City.
Zhong Shan has already moved the little emperor and the veterans of the Manchu Dynasty to Changcheng, his own territory.
Another new palace was quickly built in Changcheng. Then a proclamation was announced to the world.
"The national thief Luo Ye stole the imperial seal of the country, destroyed the imperial capital and dedicated the city. His crime is punishable. Everyone in the world has to punish him. Now he moved his capital to Changcheng, and ordered all the city masters to defeat the national traitors and take back the imperial seal, so as to set the court order! Zhong Shan’s contribution to saving me from danger is indisputable, and he was made a general. He will lead the three armies.”
This proclamation was issued in the name of the emperor, but it was written by Zhong Shan.
A call to action was spread all over the world and in the hands of all the city lords, only then did the city lords realize that the sky had suddenly changed.
There is no Chuanguo Yuxi. The emperor is still the emperor, and the imperial seal can be engraved again, but without the imperial seal of the emperor, only the luck that is slowly disappearing inside is left. Zhong Shan of Changcheng picked up a big deal for this foolish battle.
The imperial court is located in Changcheng, so Zhong Shan has the final say in the future?
Although the city lords still wanted to pass on the royal seal of the country, Zhong Shan's actions made most of them feel as if they had eaten a dead fly.
"Your Majesty, this trick to coerce the Son of Heaven to command the feudal lords is really brilliant! Without bloodshed, you have the greatest advantage in the world." Lin Xiao sighed incomparably.
"You have arrested the little emperor, why do you still go to worship him every day?" Xianxian frowned.
"Because this is the law of etiquette, and it is also the basis for blocking the mouths of people in the world. We are 'serving' the emperor, not 'holding' the emperor!" Lin Xiao explained with a smile.
That's right, the difference of one word is indeed a world of difference in human eyes. Although most city owners know it well, is there any way to refute it.
"But most of the city lords know that, won't they rebel? What if they don't recognize your 'emperor' edict?" Xianxian asked.
"They dare not. Although the other dynasties are far away, once everyone does not recognize the edict of the 'Emperor', the Daxian Dynasty will disappear. At that time, other dynasties will send troops here." Zhong Shan affirmed.
"Not everyone, what if only a small number of people don't recognize the edict of the 'Emperor'?" Xianxian asked.
"That would be even better!" Lin Xiao suddenly laughed.
"Well?"
"This is a great opportunity to eliminate dissidents and strengthen our strength. At that time, if I send troops again, it will be to suppress the rebellion. Not only will the other city lords not stop me, but they will also be obliged to help us. Let our strength increase rapidly." Lin Xiao excited road.
This is a political struggle. In this way, if the war continues, it will be a city slowly fought city by city, instead of facing all the forces of a dynasty.
A gleam flashed in Lin Xiao's eyes, as he understood the infinite benefits brought by this political war.
