In the first three years of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, in the eleventh lunar month, Zhao Liang, the king of Huainan, rebelled on the grounds that "the imperial court seized his son and murdered the princess and concubine". The rumors of "royal blood" that were full of people also confirmed that they were maliciously spread by traitors such as the King of Huainan, and the imperial court issued a stern proclamation prohibiting the people from discussing privately, disrespecting the royal family.

In the twelfth month of the lunar calendar, the rebellion that lasted more than a month spread from Huainan all the way to the Beijing Division, encountered little resistance on the way, and there were not many casualties along the way, just three days after the rebels besieged the imperial city, the rebel accomplice appeared in the defenders of the imperial court, the hussar general Lin Guangyao, took advantage of the chaos to force the palace, and was led by Chen Bei, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, led the Praetorian Guard and the defenders in the city to attack inside and outside, and was annihilated in one fell swoop. Lin Guangyao killed himself, and his subordinates descended.

The rebels attacked the city for a long time, and when the two armies were deadlocked, the general of the Jiangbei City garrison, Lin Yanning, was burdened by his grandfather's rebellion and was placed under house arrest in the army.

In the Taihe Palace, the monarchs and ministers were in chaos in the early dynasty, divided into pros and opposition, and argued endlessly.

"Your Majesty! The Ye family army is loyal and has been stationed at the border for decades, and General Ye Lao is a veteran of the three dynasties, and he also asked the emperor to reactivate General Ye Lao to calm the anger of the army. ”

Li Shilang is right. But...... General Ye Lao is old, I am afraid that he has more than enough heart and not enough strength....... "The Imperial Historical Observatory Superintendent said: "It is still necessary to choose a general who can serve for a long time, the Ye family army has been in the hands of the Ye family for a long time, and it is not a long-term plan for the court and the emperor after all......."

"What is your best idea?"

"Forehead ..........."

"According to Weichen: the queen's brother is the most suitable candidate. First, he is the grandson of General Ye, and he is the best candidate to serve the public in terms of blood, and he can better meet the requirements of the soldiers of the Ye family's army; Secondly..... Ye Ruochen, as the uncle of the country, and his sister-in-law's sister will definitely do his best to defend the territory of the Chinese Dynasty.........."

"Sun Yushi's words are wrong! The excessive power of relatives is not a good thing for the court and the people. Lin Guangyao's old ....... "The current secretary of the Ministry of War, Wang Ye, has a rough temperament, and the sentence 'old thief' was about to be spoken, when he was secretly pulled down his sleeves by his colleagues next to him, signaling to speak more cautiously, after all, the Lin family is the mother of the Queen Mother, and now although the Taifu avoids suspicion and suspends his position, but for so many years, although Lin Feng and Lin Guangyao are father and son, they have different political views and different personalities, and people with a discerning eye know that they are not all the way.

Wang Ye understood, greeted his colleagues gratefully with his eyes, and changed his words: "The generals will not be subject to military orders abroad." Hundreds of thousands of generals of the army...... It is about the society and the people, and please ask the emperor to think twice before making a decision! ”

"There's a choice for the minister." In charge of the Minister of Honor and Guard, Li Jin took a step forward and said: "This time, Chen Bei, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, and Xia Zhiguang, the deputy commander, have meritorious service in rescuing the driver, and have the courage and strategy to encircle and annihilate the rebels in the city. Minister's proposal: Restore General Ye's official position, but people do not need to go to their posts. Promoted to commander Chen as the commander-in-chief of the frontier, Ye Ruochen as the deputy general, and jointly held military power, and any transfer of troops and generals required the unanimous consent of the two; Deputy Commander Xia Zhiguang was transferred to the deputy position to protect the safety of the palace. ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a lot of discussion in the temple.

"Not bad....... In this way, it will not only save the face of the Ye family, but also will not be dominated by relatives......."

"It's a good idea.........

"The minister seconded the proposal!" In the chaos, I don't know who took the lead in agreeing, and soon a loud voice sounded in the hall: "Weichen seconded it!" ”

After discussing it for a long time, everyone finally came up with a resolution that everyone thought was good, and they all agreed with it.

The irritability and impatience in Zhao Sizhuo's eyes slowly faded.

"Since what Li Aiqing said has been seconded by the ministers, then it will be so tentatively."
