Chapter 3150
The next day, Zhang Yi issued a manifesto, saying that the King of Xia wanted to surrender to Qin and wanted to conspire with Qin to attack Wei. This act of selling out one's country and friends for glory was intolerable, so the head of the Jiang clan launched a mutiny, detained Jiang Chen, and persuaded him to change his mind.
However, Jiang Chen was stubborn and unyielding, so he had no choice but to ask Taiyue Holy Land for a sage's judgment.
Taiyue Canxin, Laomu, and Yousi soon appeared in Xia State. In just one day, they found out that Jiang Chen was colluding with the enemy and selling out his country. After the three elders discussed it together, Jiang Chen was deposed as the King of Xia, and the clan leader Jiang Zhan was temporarily appointed as the King of Dai to lead the military and political affairs of Xia State.
This incident did not cause much change in Xia State. The only ones who resisted were Zhou Anshi, Zhou Quan, and Jiang Chen's two sons. However, Zhou Quan and Zhou Anshi had been temporarily relieved of their military power due to the defeat of Lu Qinghou, and were detained by Zhang Yi without any ability to fight back.
As for Jiang Luo and Jiang He, they were defeated and captured when Jiang Shuo besieged the palace.
Under Zhang Yi's suppression, the rest of the people did not cause any trouble.
The kingship of Xia Kingdom changed hands in a flash.
On the third day, Jiang Zhan issued an edict in the name of King Dai to appease the people and reorganize the army.
On the same day, Zhang Yi issued a document, denouncing Jiang Chen for being stubborn and self-righteous, deceiving the Holy Land, and attacking Jin for his own selfishness, which caused an unjust war, resulting in the loss of half of Xia Kingdom, the shame of the Holy Land, and the suffering of millions of people. After the five elders reviewed and unanimously passed, this crime is unforgivable, and the three clans should be punished to give an explanation to the world.
And the Holy Land has death. As the Grand Master of Xia Kingdom, he was deceived and failed to supervise, which led to the misjudgment of the Holy Land, and he will also be punished.
At the same time, after coordination by the Holy Land, King Dai Jiang Zhan has agreed to pay war compensation to Jin.
These three decisions have been reported to the elders Beigong Yin and Taihua Jiazi, and reported to the imperial court for review.
"What a vicious and sinister Zhang Qilin!"
Jiang Fan slapped the table. He thought about what Zhang Yi would do, but he didn't expect that he was so vicious.
Not only did he want to launch a coup, but he also wanted to publicly kill the king!
Obviously, this coup was controlled by Zhang Yi, and the Holy Land secretly supported it.
In a flash, Jiang Fan also understood his purpose.
First, to take power completely. After that, Zhang Yi will be in charge of the military and political affairs of the Xia Kingdom, and can rely on Jiang Zhan to gain the support of the Wumeng, and Taiyue will have to concentrate all its strength on him.
Second, to clear the bad reputation of the Holy Land. During the national war, the Holy Land sent troops and was criticized by the world. In this way, all the blame was put on Jiang Chen. The Holy Land was just deceived. Although the knowledgeable people in the world may not believe it, there is no way to find evidence because Jiang Chen must die. After that, the Holy Land will restore its upright image.
Third, ban the name of Qin's military campaign. After the culprit, or the ultimate war criminal, was pushed out and Jiang Chen was executed, the world had been given an explanation from the name and above. At this time, Qin was no longer justified in the name of fighting against injustice. In other words, Qin was forced to cease fire in name. If Qin did not retreat, the two holy places would call on the world to fight against Qin or send troops themselves, and there would be no criticism.
Fourth, they actually pulled out Yousi and convicted him, which made the world see the fairness of the Holy Land. But Jiang Fan knew that the crime of poor supervision and being deceived was not punishable by death, so what if he died? Yousi was already a celestial being, and he would be reborn after death. At most, he could change his appearance and continue to be in charge.
Fifth, since it involves Wei, it means that Zhang Yi has reached a consensus with Wei, and they will inevitably cooperate closely and become an anti-Qin alliance. Because of Zhang Yi and Jiang Zhan, this alliance has expanded to two holy places. Qin will face an unprecedentedly powerful combination of forces. This is Zhang Yi's counterattack and his ambition to plot the world.
And this is not over yet. He not only executed Jiang Chen, but also compensated Jin. Obviously, in order to block Jin's mouth, Sima Ji also lost the reason to raise troops to counterattack. Then Dian Chu also had no reason.
Can all these be achieved? In theory, yes. Because the world does not know the true situation of the war, only a small group of people know it.
So if Qin does not withdraw its troops in the future, it will become an unjust army.
But theory is theory, what about reality?
Of course, Qin could deny it and list the evidence to prove that Zhang Yi, Jiang Zhan, and even the Holy Land could not be cleaned up, but unless there is clear evidence, this dispute cannot convince the world in a short time, and the war naturally cannot continue in a short time.
Unless, Qin ignores it and completely tears off the veil. In this way, Qin's desire to unify the world will inevitably arouse resistance from all parties, and the pressure it faces is unprecedentedly huge.
But is Qin helpless?
Of course not. Although Zhang Yi's plan is absolutely vicious, he did so under forced circumstances. Since he had been on the road and done so many things, there must be loopholes. Moreover, his most fundamental purpose is to gain power, and he is not prepared enough for other aspects.
First, it is Chen State.
Feng Chen took the initiative to provoke this war. It is impossible for him to allow such a big change before he gets the final benefit. Who will make up for his losses? Therefore, he will definitely list the evidence of the Holy Land's attack on Chen to deny it.
Then it is Jin State. After this incident, it seems that Jin State can withdraw, but it can't. Because the King of Jin knew that once the situation stabilized, he, a weakling, would be the first target, just like Xia in the past. Moreover, he participated in this matter in order to fight back and make Jin stronger. Therefore, he would not accept it and would definitely produce all kinds of evidence to prove that the King of Xia was just a guilty goblin and that there was someone behind the war.
The third is Dian. Wuming, needless to say, has always stood on Jiang Fan's side. He fully understands the importance of unification and will certainly try his best to collect evidence and attack.
The two most critical of the seven countries are Chu and Xia.
Let's talk about Chu first. The Northern Expedition they want must be suspended. Because Xiang Chen's attack on Jin was simply a move to take advantage of the chaos. They were originally allies of Jin. Now they have no reason to turn against them. If they have to do so, they will inevitably provide factual evidence for Zhang Yi's next accusation of Qin and Chu collusion.
Therefore, what Yu Qingcheng should do is to cooperate with Qin, list evidence, and point the finger at Zhang Yi and the Holy Land.
The problem is how to get Chu to agree to suspend the Northern Expedition. Xiang Chen and Yu Qingcheng are not going to reason at all. Moreover, they obviously see clearly that with the two major holy lands and Weixia joining forces to fight against Qin, the two sides will restrain each other, and they will have more room to launch their own strategies.
The last one is Xia. They want to overturn Zhang Yi and the Holy Land's rhetoric themselves.
This sounds impossible, but there is hope. First of all, the King of Xia and his two sons and the general Zhou Anshi, they obviously will not plead guilty. Qin can ask them to come forward and make a statement. The trouble is that Zhang Yi and his men will definitely execute these people as soon as possible, and it is almost impossible to rescue them.
