More than 120 years ago, the state of Qi suffered from Chu and Zhao on both sides, and was defeated in successive battles, Chen Lun, the king of Qi, refused to flee and committed suicide in Linzi City, from nearly 1,000 people who died, and the last group of voluntary martyrs set a fire according to the edict of the king of Qi, burned the corpse, so as not to be humiliated after death, and also burned the palace and treasures.

Chen Lun wants to bring the Qi Kingdom that his ancestors left to him to the sky.

A small number of Chen's descendants and servants had other ideas, they felt that although the sky was good, there should be a Chen's bloodline on the ground, so hundreds of people escorted a Chen's descendants to escape from Linzi City, all the way east, and never got rid of the enemy army behind them, and finally had to take a boat into the sea, leaving some people on the shore, protecting a fake Chen's descendants to fight with the pursuers, and all died on the beach.

The fugitives found a deserted island in the vast sea, the original intention was only to live here temporarily, but the result was more than a hundred years, the island was named "righteous man", the remnants of the Qi country recuperated here, and the overseas small countries, the pirates of the sea and the lonely hermit to mingle, no matter how much changes have taken place in the outside world, the dream of recovering the country has never disappeared in the hearts of the islanders.

Buyeo is a small country located in Liaodong, and Yishi Island has close contacts, its king even married a "princess" on the island, but it is useless, Yishi Island is hungry and does not choose food, want to borrow troops to return to the country, Buyeo King but also just want to fish in troubled waters, and when they find that each other does not have this strength, the grand plan has to be abandoned.

During the period of Emperor Wu, Yishi Island was almost desperate, but he never thought that as soon as Emperor Wu died, Da Chu fell into chaos, and it became more and more chaotic.

The opportunity to return to the country has finally arrived.

Yishi Island gathered a large number of pirates, and with the help of their ships, transported thousands of soldiers from the Buyeo Kingdom from Liaodong to the East China Sea Kingdom, and drove tens of thousands of improvised homeless people and shipwrights to form a large army that Yishi Island dreamed of.

In fact, the island often works as pirates to survive, but the islanders never admit to being pirates, and in their eyes, robbery is only a stopgap measure, and they have a grander goal than those outlaws who only want money.

This goal is about to be achieved.

Pengcheng, which was close to the East China Sea State, was a key place to stop the rebels from advancing westward, and the Chu army of the Northern Route led by the emperor himself was stationed here.

The general Cui Hong proved that he was not incompetent, and in just a few days, the number of soldiers he transferred from various places had reached 20,000, and at the same time, the Chai Yue Department on the middle road expanded to 30,000 people, and Fang Daye on the south road increased to 10,000, surrounding the rebels between the mountains and the sea.

The rebels occupied most of the entire Donghai Kingdom and Qi Kingdom, and most of their sharp spirit disappeared, turned from attack to defense, and began to hold on to the city, preparing for a battle with the three-way Chu army.

After more than a hundred years of waiting, the remnants of the Qi State on Yishi Island have somewhat worn off a little arrogance, they did not immediately play their own banner, but respected the Shangguan clan of the East China Sea State as the head and the Ying King as the emperor, claiming to restore the orthodoxy of Emperor Wu, and then slowly spread the news of the Qi king of the Chen clan.

That's all the information Chai Yue was able to gather, and he didn't know anything about the relationship between Chen Qi and the Meng siblings.

Han Ruzi knew, so he was shocked, so he sent someone back to the capital at that time and sent a letter to Yang Feng, asking him to find out the truth - the Meng brothers and sisters were introduced by Yang Feng to the Queen Mother as guards, promising to help them capture a small foreign country, but the two brothers and sisters rushed east at the same time, and Yishi Island sent troops in advance, and the target of the capture was not a small country, but the hometown of Qi.

Before Yang Feng's reply arrived, Han Ruzi did not wait, and discussed the plan to quell the chaos with the generals in Pengcheng.

Cui Hong had already made a plan on the march, "General Nanlufang has fought two battles with the rebels, both of which have been won, according to his observation, the rebels are close to the rabble, and many people are forced to join, and they can only defend the city, and dare not go out of the city to fight." ”

"Buyeo country is a small state, according to the general of Liaodong, although the soldiers of Buyeo are fierce, but lack of armor, often fight naked, the most afraid of bows and crossbows, now they are in Linzi City, there is no need to be afraid."

"The trouble is that those pirates, who do not form an army, are divided into dozens of units, avoiding the Chu army, and specifically attacking the grain routes and towns in the rear. The Chu army concentrated its attack, it was difficult to find the whereabouts of the pirates, and they were scattered and garrisoned, and there was a threat of rebels. This is probably the strategy of the rebels. ”

"According to the minister's plan, it is better to grasp the big and let go of the small: the middle road went straight to Linzi, and the north road broke into the East China Sea State, occupied the coast, blocked the retreat of the barbarian soldiers of the Buyeo State, and forced the rebels to flee south, and General Fang took the opportunity to intercept it. As for the pirates, when the general situation is decided, they will try to exterminate them. ”

Cui Hong's plan was very complete and the odds of winning were also very high, Han Ruzi couldn't give any more opinions, and only asked, "Is the Chu army enough?" ”

"If you want to win, the three-way Chu army is enough, if you want to catch it all, the two armies of the middle road and the south road are still too few, but fortunately, reinforcements from all over the country are already on the way, within ten days, the middle road can reach 40,000 people, the south road can reach 25,000, and the north road can also increase by a few thousand, which can become a sure victory."

"Is there any movement of the Huns?"

"No news yet."

"The defenders of northern Xinjiang cannot be mobilized."

"Yes, Your Majesty, there are not many defenders in the northern frontier, and the minister did not use a single soldier in the northern frontier for this transfer."

Han Ruzi was a little relieved, the war would start in ten days, and in ten days at most, the rebels could be destroyed, and Dachu could get rid of a major internal trouble.

He just regretted that the Meng brothers and sisters became enemies of Da Chu so quickly, especially Meng E, she had an agreement with the emperor, but she betrayed without a word, and returned the extremely important treasure seal, which was unpredictable.

After seeing the generals, Han Ruzi summoned the accompanying ministers and asked them to come up with an idea, so that they could stabilize the Qi country for a long time after quelling the chaos.

In just three years, Qi rebelled twice, and it must be guarded against.

The ministers came up with a lot of ideas: one is to divide the Qi country into a number of counties, the second is to divide the descendants of the old and important clans as kings, the third is to appoint officials by the imperial court, the fourth is to reduce the power of the princes, the fifth is to levy heavier taxes, the sixth is to move the powerful families, the seventh is to ban the sea to eliminate thieves, the eighth is to garrison heavy troops to monitor for a few years, the ninth is to cancel the title of Qi State, and the tenth is to severely punish the rebellious ministers and thieves to set an example.

The Ten Strategies came out like this, and there were quite repetitions, but in the description of the ministers, these were completely different ten strategies, even if they were only half implemented, they could ensure that the land would not be chaotic for decades.

Han Ruzi accepted these ten plans and praised the ministers, but he was still not very satisfied.

At dusk, Han Ruzi went to the east of the city and looked east, only to see the mountains and mountains, but not the city and people.

"That's your East China Sea Kingdom." Han Ruzi pointed to the mountains and said.

"The whole world is not the king's land." The king of the East Sea humbly replied, and also looked at the mountains, the sun was setting in the west, and the mountains in the east were only vague, "The scenery is not bad." ”

Cui Teng also followed the emperor and said excitedly: "Your Majesty and the King of the East China Sea were both born in the East China Sea Kingdom, right?" This is the land of dragons, does Your Majesty remember anything? ”

Han Ruzi shook his head, he had no impression of the East China Sea Kingdom.

The king of the East China Sea didn't remember, he turned around and looked, there were eunuchs and guards all around, and there were no ministers, so he whispered: "Your Majesty, the Qi Kingdom cannot be stayed, it must be divided, if you want me to say, the East China Sea Kingdom cannot be left either." ”

"The East China Sea Kingdom is already very small...... Don't you care if your fiefdom is smaller? Han Ruzi was a little surprised.

"I'd rather not have a fief and turn the East China Sea Kingdom into a county, I am willing to always serve His Majesty, or just live in the East China Sea County and spend my life as a civilian."

Han Ruzi smiled and shook his head, the king of the East China Sea said pitifully, in fact, he wanted to go back to the capital with the emperor.

When night fell, there was nothing to see, and Han Ruzi didn't want to go back, so he ordered someone to find Qiao Wanfu.

Qiao Wanfu is no longer Ao Cangling, he has been promoted to a free cavalry attendant, and he can follow the emperor, but he actually has no power at all.

But this is an opportunity, as long as the emperor takes a fancy to it, it is possible to ascend to the sky in one step.

Qiao Wanfu was short and didn't dare to speak, and he knelt behind the emperor for a while before he was discovered, Cui Teng smiled and said, "What a minister." ”

Han Ruzi asked Qiao Wanfu to get up and asked, "The ship of Qilu is full in the west and empty in the east, is there really nothing to exchange in the capital?" ”

Qiao Wanfu had met the emperor a few times, and knew that His Majesty did not like to talk nonsense, so he said succinctly: "Yes." ”

Han Ruzi, King of the East China Sea, and Cui Teng all looked at this "little minister", and Qiao Wanfu realized that he needed to explain, and said busily: "Where the capital is located is the official source, Qilu has things, and the capital has officials, which can be exchanged." ”

Han Ruzi frowned slightly, Cui Teng didn't understand at all, and the King of the East China Sea smiled: "This is really a strange and bold idea, Qi Di rebelled twice, do you want to appoint more Qi people as officials?" ”

Qiao Wanfu knelt down again, "Weichen is talking nonsense, begging for forgiveness." ”

Han Ruzi raised his hand, motioned for Qiao Wanfu to calm down, thought for a while, and said: "The people of Qilu are rich and studious, I remember that there are many people in Jinshi over the years. ”

The reason why Qi people attach importance to the imperial examination is mostly to exempt a family from taxes, not to be an official. It is said that the land of Qilu is heavily taxed, but in fact, it is the common people who have a heavy tax. ”

The minister's idea was too conventional, and Qiao Wanfu's idea was too bold, and it was difficult for Han Ruzi to decide for a while.

From the other side of the city wall came the sound of a harp.

Han Ruzi put down his mind and listened, Cui Teng was more interested in the person who stroked the qin, but he didn't dare to walk over, and whispered to the king of the East China Sea: "I really admire this father and daughter, they can play music anywhere, no matter when and where, they can please Your Majesty." ”

The King of the East Sea hummed softly, not interested in the piano or the people.

The qin music only lasted for a short while, and suddenly it ended, Han Ruzi was caught off guard, feeling annoyed in his heart, and was about to order the Zhang father and daughter to continue stroking the qin, when a guard on the periphery shouted: "What person? Beware, there are assassins! ”

Although assassination was not common, the emperor's guards and guards were still prepared, and the four guards immediately rushed to the emperor's side, squeezing the king of the East China Sea and others away, followed by a large number of guards, surrounded the emperor in three layers inside and three layers outside, and did not exclude anyone this time.

The other guards and guards dispersed to find the whereabouts of the Assassins.

Han Ruzi did not rush down to the city, but stood in place and said to the panicked people around him: "It's just late, how can there be a reason to assassinate at this time?" I'm afraid it's a false alarm. ”

The commotion on the periphery soon ended, and Wang He, the leader of the guards, hurriedly came and said, "The person has been caught, not an assassin, who claims to be His Majesty's guard, surnamed Meng." (To be continued.) )
