Three days later, more than 100,000 main soldiers and horses of the Yan State were all evacuated to the outskirts of Jicheng and stationed in the camp on the outskirts of Jicheng.

Murong Ke was ordered to dismantle his troops and horses, and in order to better complete this task, he came to the barracks early in the morning and immediately summoned his subordinates to discuss disarmament with them.

When Murong Ke told the generals of his subordinates that the soldiers and horses would be cut again, all the generals were shocked and expressed their opposition, after all, they had already cut the soldiers and horses once, and this time there were more soldiers and horses, but when Murong Ke told them the reality of the empty treasury, the generals bowed their heads and were silent, and no longer objected.

Fortunately, the main force of soldiers and horses whose main occupation is to serve in the army has been completely wiped out, and among the more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, a large proportion of the recruits who have joined the army within two years have joined the army.

After several days of preparation, most of the more than 100,000 main troops and horses of the Yan State were removed, leaving only 50,000 relatively elite soldiers and horses, so that the pressure on the treasury was significantly smaller, and all the supplies of the 50,000 army could be well guaranteed.

In the direction of Jiankang City, the news about the Tibetan character stone has long been spread, and it has caused a very big response, after all, these eight big characters indicate that Hua'an will dominate the world, it is too sensitive, and it is difficult not to cause a huge response.

Such an important news naturally quickly reached Xie An's ears, and aroused Xie An's great attention, in order to deal with this incident, Xie An hurriedly summoned his henchmen to his mansion to prepare to discuss this incident.

Soon, several confidant officials under Xie An's command arrived at Xie An's mansion and were in the main hall. Discussed with Xie An.

"Gong Xie, the recent rumors about the Tibetan character stone are spreading in the capital, this is not a trivial matter! If it is not good, it will shake the foundation of the imperial court. A confidant official said loudly.

"Yes! Gong Xie, this incident is mostly caused by man-made troublemakers. Among them, the suspicion of the North King is the greatest. Another official, said loudly.

"Duke Xie, if this matter was planned by the Northern King, then it is enough to show that the Northern King has rebelled and is ready to usurp the throne and stand on his own." A confidant minister, Masashi said.

Obviously, these officials have rumors about the Tibetan character stone. attaches great importance to it, and feels that this matter is fundamentally caused by man-made troublemakers, and Hua'an's suspicion is the greatest, which naturally shows that Hua'an is a rebellious behavior.

Hearing this, Xie An lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said, "Reliable news has been transmitted from the direction of Luoyang City. The matter of the Tibetan word stone is indeed true. The official's henchmen saw it clearly, and they had already secretly investigated the people who dug up the Tibetan character stone, and this person was indeed an honest lotus root farmer, and this qiē seemed so real, as if it were providence. After speaking, he looked at his henchmen and officials.

"Gong Xie. A stone is a stone, how can there be writing on it? There must be something wrong with this. A confidant official said loudly.

"Yes! Gong Xie, this must have been artificially engraved, this kind of trick is okay to deceive ordinary people, but it definitely can't deceive the lower officials. "Another confidant officer. Said loudly.

"Gong Xie, there have been more and more rumors about the North King recently, and now there is such a shoddy trick that has suddenly appeared, this qiē is mostly done by the North King and his accomplices, this is a sign that the North King is about to usurp the throne and stand on his own!" A confidant minister said worriedly.

"Duke Xie, Yan Guo is the first to spread rumors, and the North King and Yan Guo are discussing peace and truce, there must be something wrong here, and it is very likely that King Yan is complicit in the North King and help the North King usurp the throne in exchange for the North King withdrawing his troops to the south." A confidant official said guessingly.

Obviously, these henchmen and subordinates trained by Xie An are all very thoughtful and wise officials, they can see the essence through the phenomenon, and they can easily see through these tricks.

Hearing this, Xie An nodded, and said, "You are right, according to the current situation, this matter is really extraordinary!" It's not going to be a big mess. ”

Obviously, Xie An took this matter very seriously and was afraid that things would develop in an unpredictable direction.

"Duke Xie, now that the situation has gradually become clear, the possibility of the conspiracy between the King of the North and the King of Yan is extremely great, we must report this matter to the Queen Mother as much as possible, and convene the ministers of the court to discuss how to deal with it!" An official, said loudly.

"Gong Xie, this matter must be decided as much as possible, and must not be delayed, in order to deal with the rebellion that the Northern King may launch at any time, we must prepare in advance." Another confidant official said.

Xie An waved his hand and said, "Absolutely not, this matter is very important, there is not enough evidence, how can we report it to the Queen Mother at will?" Whether there is a conspiracy between the North King and the Yan King, these are all speculations from us, and we are not completely sure, in case we do not handle it properly and cause the anger of the North King, it will cause very strict consequences! ”

Obviously, Xie An was very afraid of Hua'an's current strong strength, and felt that he had to be particularly cautious in handling matters about Hua'an, otherwise, if Hua'an was dissatisfied, Hua'an would get an excuse to rebel against the imperial court, and it would be self-defeating at that time.

"Gong Xie, then what should we do? You can't just watch things go on step by step! If this situation continues to develop, it is very likely that the Northern King's conspiracy will succeed, and the imperial court will have to accept it at that time. An official, said loudly.

"Yes! Xie Gong, if the king of the north is really confirmed to be the descendant of the king of Chu, the king of the north will inevitably replace the current emperor and make a rebellious move, if the people and heroes of the world believe that the Tibetan stone is the meaning of God, then the hearts of the people will be owned by the king of the north, so that the world is completely under the control of the king of the north. Another confidant official said worriedly.

Xie An sighed helplessly, looked at his henchmen and officials, and said: "Now, the Northern King has controlled the land of the ten prefectures of Zhanyi, Liang, Qin, Yong, Liang, Si, And, Hebei, Yan, and Qing, and part of the land of Youzhou and Pingzhou is also controlled by the Northern King, and all the soldiers and horses under his command are seven or eight hundred thousand, which is not something that my more than ten thousand soldiers and horses in Yanzhou can match, so if we rashly expose the conspiracy of the Northern King in the court without sufficient evidence, it is very likely that the Northern King will bite back, and when the time comes, The king of the north will lead a group of soldiers and horses to kill Jiankang City in the name of the Qing monarch's side, and when the time comes, how can I resist with more than 100,000 soldiers and horses of my Yangzhou legion, so this matter must be investigated carefully and cautiously, and it must not be impulsive. ”

When all the confidants and officials heard this, they all nodded in approval, after all, this matter is not trivial, and it must be handled carefully.

"Duke Xie, if the Northern King really becomes a royal family, what should we do? If he forces the emperor to abdicate, what should we do? A confidant official looked at Xie An and asked softly.

Xie An frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "If things really come to that point, we will have no choice but to act at the opportunity." ”

Obviously, Xie An understands very well in his heart that the Yangzhou Legion in his hands is very different from the army under Hua'an in terms of strength, even if he contacts the Jingzhou Legion, he may not necessarily be able to win, besides, once they oppose Hua'an because of the problem of imperial power, causing a protracted bloody battle, the strength of the Great Jin Dynasty is bound to face huge attrition again, and once the Great Jin Dynasty has another large-scale civil war, it is very likely to repeat the mistakes of the Eight Kings Rebellion, and finally let the northern nomads enter the Central Plains. Ravaging and destroying the civilization of Hua'an.

Therefore, no matter where the situation develops, what Xie An has to do is to mediate as much as possible, so that there will be a situation of unity within the Great Jin Dynasty, so as to maintain the orthodoxy of Hua'an, as for who is the master of the Central Plains, in fact, it is not too important, after all, the most important thing is that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and the Chinese civilization can continue to continue.

"What Duke Xie means is that when necessary, we will give up the emperor and choose to follow the king of the north?" A confidant official said in surprise.

"Duke Xie, the emperor and the queen mother treat us well, we have to be loyal ministers, we can't betray the emperor!" Another confidant official, said loudly.

Obviously, several confidant officials under Xie An's command were all willing to be loyal to the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty and were unwilling to betray the emperor.

Xie An hurriedly waved his hand, and said: "This official has no intention of betraying the emperor, this official thinks that my Great Jin has finally achieved today's achievements, no matter what, I can no longer repeat the mistakes of the Eighty Thousand Rebellion, if my Great Jin is fighting because of internal strife, but the war is endless, when the time comes, the soldiers and horses of the Six Yi in the north will definitely enter the Central Plains again, and drive and ravage my Huaxia line!" After speaking, he frowned deeply.

When the confidants and officials heard this, they immediately understood Xie An's good intentions, and expressed their admiration for Xie An's foresight, after all, compared with maintaining the Chinese tradition, who can only take a back seat as the emperor, and not let the Liuyi soldiers and horses have a chance to enter the Central Plains again, which is the direction they should work towards.

"What Gong Xie said is extremely true, no matter what, the tragedy of my Dajin can no longer happen to the well-dressed Nandu, and the lower officials are willing to follow Gong Xie and obey Gong Xie's dispatch." A confidant official, said loudly.

"Gong Xie has the world in mind, and the lower officials are far behind, and he is willing to follow Gong Xie, but Gong Xie is the first to look forward." Another confidant official shouted his support.

When Xie An heard this, he nodded with great satisfaction, these subordinate officials were all pulled up by him, and had become his henchmen, it was with the help of these henchmen that Xie An's official fortune became smoother, and he quickly grasped the control of the Yangzhou Legion.
