"Yushuai, what do you mean by this?" As soon as King Yiyang heard Yushuai's question, he immediately exploded, "Do you want to say that I instructed these wealthy clans in Yicheng to rebel?"

Yu Shuai didn't have clear evidence in his hand, and it was just a temptation just now, "The minister is just speculating, after all, everyone knows that King Yiyang and the head of the Jin family have a close relationship." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Seeing that King Yiyang was eager to step forward and fight with Yushuai, the queen hurriedly said: "Yushuai, don't talk nonsense, King Yiyang is the younger brother of the lord of the country and the pillar of the country, he will never do such a rebellious thing, don't speculate!"

"Yes, the minister is guilty!"

When King Yiyang saw the queen talking like this, he didn't want to continue to make trouble, but just glared at Yushuai hatefully. Yu Shuai didn't look at him at all, just frowned and thought about how to solve the situation in front of him.

The queen had already asked all the messengers of the other four Yicheng, and the Lian family of Jincheng, the Xie family of Yuncheng, the Xu family of Pingzhou, and the Lin family of Quzhou also made the same request as the head of the Jin family.

"Ladies and gentlemen, how should we deal with the rebellion in these five cities?"

Suddenly encountering such a drastic change, the ministers were a little caught off guard, and discussed in whispers below for a long time, but there was no result. Yu Shuai naturally insisted on suppressing it by force, but the queen was worried that this was King Yiyang's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and deliberately used the rebellion of the five cities to transfer Yu Shuai's troops out of the city, and then seize the throne and occupy the capital.

"It's better to be like this, Yushuai has the heavy responsibility of guarding the capital, and he can't be easily transferred. King Yiyang, you and the head of the Jin family are relatives, so it is better for you to go and persuade him to surrender. I will send General Bai He with the defenders of Fengxi City to go with you to ensure your safety. If Jincheng surrenders, presumably the other five cities will also abandon the blockade. If they refuse, then use force to rescue the people of the city. Would you like to do so, King Yiyang?" said the queen with a smile.

"Brother is willing," King Yiyang did not resist at all, and immediately agreed, and said worriedly: "It's just that I took away the defenders of Fengxi City, so won't the guards of Fengxi City be empty?"

"It's okay, Yushuai will transfer a part of the troops from the three cities of Fengnan, Fengbei, and Fengdong to temporarily defend it. Wait for the triumphant return of the Fengxi Army, and then hand over Fengxi City to General Baihe to guard. ”

Yushuai gave the queen a thumbs up in his heart, this trick is really powerful, transfer King Yiyang and General Baihe out, keep the capital first, and he can take the opportunity to transfer back the army from the border to suppress the five cities.

"Queen, don't do it!" suddenly the high priest stood up and cried out.

"Why does the High Priest say that?"

"Just now the five messengers said that the head of the wealthy clan of the Five Cities did not want to raise troops to attack the capital, but hoped to let a more virtuous person become the lord of the country. Their basis was that the Fire Phoenix Kingdom was rejected by the Divine Monarch and had been in drought for several years. As long as we succeed in praying for rain tomorrow, the lord of the country will not be the lord of the wayless as they say, and then send someone to persuade them, which will surely make them give up the rebellion. Otherwise, if it is suppressed by force, it will be difficult for the common people in the city to be safe! Please ask the queen to think about the common people!"

"This ......" The queen hesitated a little and looked at Yu Shuai, Yu Shuai nodded slightly, so she nodded and said: "The high priest is really a benevolent person, and everything is done with the common people in mind. Then, according to the high priest, after the rain prayer ceremony is over tomorrow, if it rains, send people to persuade them to surrender, if it does not rain, they can only be suppressed by force. ”

"The queen is a saint!" the high priest saluted with the ministers. The queen nodded, stood up, and dragged the prince back to the harem. The chief of the chamberlain announced his retirement from the court, and the ministers walked out of the hall one after another.

King Yiyang and the high priest talked all the way and walked behind. The ceremony of praying for rain was about to be held, and the two of them didn't bother to hide it.

"High priest, fortunately, you were resourceful enough to say that, otherwise, I would really have been sent to persuade the five cities to surrender. ”

The high priest smiled, "The queen just wants to keep the capital, she doesn't care about the lives of the people of those five cities." But on the surface, she made a look of loving the people like a son, so I took the life and death of the common people back to her, and she was naturally speechless!"

"High!" King Yiyang gave a thumbs up, "Now, it's up to you to see the results of tomorrow's rain prayer ceremony!"

The high priest looked at the sky and said with a smile: "Isn't the result already doomed?

"That's right, hahaha......"

Yushuai walked in front, heard the sound of King Yiyang laughing, looked back, and then turned to leave. As soon as he left the palace, he was immediately stopped by a sergeant dressed as a royal forest officer, "See Yushuai!"

Yu Shuai glanced at the person who came, "Hui Cheng?"

This person is Hui Cheng, the leader of the Imperial Forest Army. He was not qualified to go to the palace to discuss matters, so he had to wait outside the palace gate for the Yushuai who retired from the palace.

"Leader Hui, you are waiting for me here, you must have something to say?"

Hui Cheng looked around, "Yushuai, please come in to discuss the matter." Then he ordered the royal guards who followed him to guard the door. He himself took Yushuai to the ear room inside the palace gate to talk.

"Yu Shuai, Hui Cheng has something to ask for!" Hui Leader closed the door and immediately saluted Yu Shuai.

"What's the matter?" you say. ”

"Hui Cheng wants to borrow someone from Yu Shuai. ”

"Borrower, borrower?"

"Tomorrow, Fengming Palace will worship the sky and pray for rain, and Hui Cheng will be responsible for arranging the guards. However, for some reason, in the past month, my good men have fallen ill one by one, and the rest of the patrol cities are okay, but if you really match the masters, it will not work. That's why I boldly made this request to Yu Shuai, asking you to send a master from the army to assist me in guarding Fengming Palace. ”

"What's going on? It doesn't make sense that everyone is sick together?"

Hui Cheng shook his head, "I don't know what's going on, but I'm sure that someone must be behind this, but I haven't found out for the time being." Now that the lord of the country is seriously ill again, I can't ask him for advice, so I have to ask Yushuai for help. After the rain prayer ceremony, I must find out that person and make him look good. ”

"Did anyone come to you before these people fell ill? like the High Priest or the Righteous Yang King?"

Hui Cheng's eyes widened, "How did Yu Shuai know that King Yiyang once sent his retinue to find me and gave me a lot of gold and jade and shell coins. ”

"You took it?"

"Of course not!" Hui Cheng waved his hand again and again, "Although King Yiyang has a close relationship with the lord of the country, I am the leader of the Imperial Forest Army appointed by the lord of the country, how can I be close to King Yiyang?"

Yu Shuai nodded, although Hui Cheng was a reckless martial artist, but the lord of the country took a fancy to his upright and loyal character, so he gave him the task of guarding the capital and the palace.

"Okay, I'll send someone over when I go back, and you can let them put on the clothes of the Imperial Forest Army tomorrow and be responsible for guarding Fengming Palace." ”

Hui Cheng was overjoyed, "Thank you Yushuai!"
