Chapter 226: The King of the East
"Report, we have captured the Fu Yin of Wangdong City. Fu Yin confessed that he was the eldest prince of Dongli Kingdom. "After the Royal Legion attacked the Mansion Yin Yamen, soon, a squad leader ran out and reported to Yi Xingchen the news he had just gotten.
When Yi Xingchen heard this, he was pleasantly surprised. I didn't think that this small mansion Yin Yamen would still be a "treasure hidden inside," and a strategy of rushing to kill everything could still catch such a big fish! This unexpected harvest came at a very timely time when the two armies were fighting. In Yi Xingchen's mind, he had even thought that he could use this eldest prince to plunge Wangdong City into an even more chaotic situation!
So, Yi Xingchen immediately asked, "In the yamen, are there any soldiers who are willing to surrender?"
"There are more than twenty soldiers, surrender!" the squad leader reported.
"Okay! Put these soldiers under the banner of this big prince, and let them hype that the king of Dongli is a faint king without a way, and the eldest prince will raise troops to do the right thing for heaven, overthrow the corrupt dynasty, and inherit the throne of Dongli. Yi Xingchen said.
The squad leader listened to the order and immediately went to make arrangements.
After a while, rumors about the eldest prince's army spread throughout Wangdong City, and most of the people in the city began to talk about it.
Whether they believe it or not, the wealthy nobles who originally wanted to organize slaves and help the defenders of Wangdong City are no longer concerned about how to maintain the peace and stability of Wangdong City. At this time of political turmoil, they all knew very well that no matter who came to power in the east, they should not intervene, so as not to recover from a catastrophe. As a result, these wealthy nobles stopped acting one after another, and only protected their courtyards and family wealth.
At the same time, look at the center of the East City. The main hall of the king's palace in the east.
Compared to the chaos in Wangdong City. But the palace of the king of the east is like another kingdom. It was a happy and peaceful scene. King Dongli is accompanying his concubine, drinking and having fun, and enjoying singing and dancing.
Because, the king of Dongli has not yet learned that Wangdong City has suffered a catastrophe!
At this time, Dongli Wang was in a good mood. It is reported that Xia Guo has been too busy to take care of himself and wants to negotiate peace with Dongli Guo. This will be what it means. The army of the Eastern Departure Kingdom is expected to occupy the territory of the Xia Kingdom and expand the territory of the Eastern Departure Kingdom. This is the dream of generations of kings from the east!
Unfortunately, good times are always very short. Just as the king of Dongli was immersed in the joy of the war, one of the guards suddenly broke into the main hall and fell to his knees.
"The king, ministers and nobles, urgently ask for an audience. "The guards report according to the rules of the palace. But his face was very panicked, and his voice trembled.
Seeing this, the king of Dongli saw this. The smile that did not retreat suddenly froze on his face. The concubine who was dancing almost all over Dongli Wang's body, after seeing Dongli Wang's expression, she didn't dare to continue to dance and quickly retreated aside.
Feeling greatly distracted, King Dongli, in anger, immediately left the throne and kicked over the guards who were kneeling on the ground.
"Panic what! Disturb this king's music, I want to die. King Dongli said angrily.
The guards endured the pain, got up, knelt on the ground again, and reported again in fear: "King, the ministers have something important!"
"What's the matter!" said King Dongli with some impatience.
"The west gate of Wangdong City was raided by unknown enemy troops. The guard hurriedly said.
Dongli Wang was taken aback, and asked with some disbelief, "What did you just say?"
"The enemy has invaded Wangdong City!" said the guard.
The princess, who heard the bad news on the side, was immediately shocked when she heard this, and at this moment she was not paying attention, and the wine glass in her hand fell to the ground, making a sound, which disturbed the king of Dongli and made him immediately look sideways.
When the princess saw King Dongli's angry glare, she immediately knelt on the ground in a hurry: "The concubine should die!
The king of Dongli ignored it, because he had already understood that his territory had been invaded by the enemy!
However, the king of Dongli still had some hard time believing that the Xia Kingdom had already surrendered, so he immediately asked: "Could it be the army of the Xia Kingdom? But how can they cross the high mountains and enter Wangdong City, the generals on the front line, what is going on!"
"The identity of the enemy is unknown. However, according to the descriptions of the soldiers engaged in the battle, the weapons used by the enemy were powerful alchemical weapons, there were thousands of them, and they could even attack from a distance, and our troops were unable to deal with it, resulting in heavy casualties among the defenders of Wangdong City. β
"Holding an alchemy weapon?!Could it be the alchemist army of the Xia Kingdom!" King Dongli was taken aback when he heard the gist of his words.
However, the king of Dongli was a little puzzled. The alchemist army of the Xia Kingdom had always guarded the imperial city of the Xia Kingdom, so how could they leave the hinterland of the Xia Kingdom and venture into the Dongli Kingdom? Besides, since the Xia Kingdom had already promised to negotiate peace with the Dongli Kingdom, how could they dispatch a powerful alchemist army to attack Wangdong City? How did they sneak into the territory of the Dongli Kingdom?
Could it be that all this is a delaying tactic of the Xia State, so that after the army of the Eastern Departure State stops attacking, it will regroup its troops and raid in turn?
"Gather all the ministers at once!" said the king of Dongli, furious, and immediately ordered the guards who were kneeling on the ground. At the same time, he ordered all the people and things that were having fun to get out!
The guards were ordered to leave the main hall and go to Xuan to wait for the audience of the ministers of the Eastern Departure Kingdom who were outside the palace.
What shocked King Dongli even more was that after the ministers were summoned to enter the main hall, they brought a news that shook the court: the eldest prince wanted to do the right thing for heaven, and he had launched a coup d'Γ©tat and demanded that King Dongli abdicate.
"This rebel! damn it!" King Dongli slapped his palm on the throne, and at the same time roared angrily, and the ministers were immediately so frightened that they fell to their knees one after another, and shouted repeatedly: "Your Majesty is angry!"
Immediately, in order to appease the anger of the king of Dongli, the loyal ministers spoke to the king of Dongli:
"Your Majesty, this is impossible! The minister remembers that the eldest prince is the palace yin, and he will only organize men and horses to deal with the enemies who enter the city!"
"Your Majesty, the problem now is not that the eldest prince rebelled, but that the enemy took advantage of the eldest prince, and many wealthy nobles are afraid that they will hesitate and not send troops. β
Under the advice of the ministers, King Dongli gradually calmed down. King Dongli is not a mediocre emperor, the minister's analysis, he listens to every sentence in his ears, and he also agrees with the reason. He slowly also thought that the eldest prince should not rebel.
But this level of cognition made King Dongli suddenly realize another bad news: now these people dare to take advantage of the reputation of the eldest prince, there is only one possibility, that is, the eldest prince is in their hands.
"Have you found out, who they are, what is their purpose? Before the king of Dongli had finished speaking, another guard hurried to report that the enemy was attacking the city.
Coincidentally, the guards who reported were the ones who broke into the main hall before.
King Dongli said angrily, "Every time I see you, there is no good thing!" He drew his sword, lost his senses, and stabbed the guard to death.
The ministers did not dare to say more. (To be continued......)
