The imperial court arrested many people and killed many people, and most people chose to tolerate and escape such things, after all, the incident in Canglan City had only passed recently, and everyone also realized the decisiveness and brutality of the new emperor.

In order to fill the treasury, the imperial court raised taxes again and again, and the people had a lot of complaints, but Ye Futian still went his own way, and for him, armament was naturally the first place.

The people swallowed these resentments deeply into their bodies and lived a tormented life, although the rebellion did not arise, but those grievances did not disappear, they just piled up in the hearts of the people, and many disgruntled forces against the emperor began to collude with each other.

There are seven cities in the north, and the most prosperous of them belongs to the wine city - the city of alcohol.

Wine is the treasure of the city, and the locals here have been selling alcohol for generations.

And in this wine city, the best wine seller is "Drunken Dream House"

In the "Tian" room of the Drunken Dream Residence, five dignified middle-aged people sat around the round table.

The lord of the city - Liu Sanjiang.

The city lord of Changyu City - Mu Yu.

The lord of Fenghua City - Lu Ku.

The city lord of the Six Arts City - Chen Ge.

The city lord of Ming Nancheng - Hu Musk Deer.

In addition to Canglan City and Xuelu City, the city lords of the northern part of the northern country have all arrived.

"City Lord Liu, didn't you say that you were going to introduce one person to us, what about others?" Mu Yu, the city lord of Changyu City, asked.

"yes, we've been sitting here for so long, isn't it possible that he's still going to give us a dismount?" Lu Ku, the city lord of Fenghua City, is a person who is anxious.

"Don't worry, he should be preparing a gift for you." Liu Sanjiang comforted.

"Gifts?"

"Yes, you're going to love it."

"Hehe, Brother Liu said that, I'm looking forward to it." Chen Ge, the city lord of Six Arts City, said.

After a while, there was a burst of footsteps in the hallway, and the sandalwood mahogany door of the Tianzi room was pushed open, and a young man appeared behind the door.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the juniors are late, I hope you will forgive me." The young man had a small smile on his face.

"Young master." Liu Sanjiang stood up and bowed to the young man.

Young master? What kind of person is this young man, and he deserves to be called so by the city lord of Alcohol City.

"Brother Liu, is he the person you want to introduce to us?"

"Yes."

"Who is he?" Mu Yu asked.

"The younger generation's surname is Ye, and his name is Lingyun." Ye Lingyun said.

"Surname Ye?"

Ye Naiwang's surname, who would dare to use it except for the royal family?

"Ye Lingyun! You are the second prince who was kicked out of the imperial city! Mu Yu suddenly realized the identity of this young man.

"How do you speak!" Liu Sanjiang said unhappily.

"It doesn't matter, I used to be the second prince who was driven out of the imperial city in your mouth, but now I'm just a commoner surnamed Ye." Ye Lingyun said.

“…… It's me who lost my words. ”

"Why did you ask Brother Liu to gather us?" Hu Musk asked.

"Hehe, let's drink first, and we'll talk about these things after drinking." Ye Lingyun sat down.

"Yes, yes, let's drink first, we focus on fun, things are secondary." Liu Sanjiang said with a smile.

Everyone didn't ask much, just smiled and drank together.

After three rounds of drinking, what surprised everyone was Ye Lingyun's amount of alcohol, except for Liu Sanjiang, the other four city lords were all fed wine by Ye Lingyun in turn, and the four city lords were all slightly drunk, but Ye Lingyun didn't seem to have anything.

Ye Lingyun cleared his throat, it was time to start talking about business, otherwise these people were afraid that they would get drunk and go over.

"Hehe, city lords, I think it should be very difficult for you to come to Ye Futian's squeeze of the north these days." Ye Lingyun said.

Everyone was silent for a while, and indeed as Ye Lingyun said, not only did the taxes in these cities in the northern kingdom increase, but they, the city lords and the rich people in the city, were also forced to pay twice as much as the "rich fee", and the court said that the rich should pay more if they were rich.

They were really upset about that.

"So don't you think that Ye Futian is not suitable to be the emperor?" Ye Lingyun continued.

"Not suitable, not suitable." Mu Yu said with a big grin.

"Since he became emperor, there have been complaints all over the northern kingdom, and of course he is not suitable." Lu Ku said.

"So we need to work together to remove Ye Futian from the throne." Liu Sanjiang said.

As soon as Ye Lingyun's words came out, they immediately resonated with these northern city lords.

"Are you trying to start a rebellion?" Hu Musk, the city lord of Mingnan City on the side, suddenly asked.

Perhaps because of the drinking, Lu Ku's question was indeed straightforward, and everyone fell silent all of a sudden.

"Rebellion? No, no, no, you're talking too dirty. Ye Lingyun said with a smile.

"But that's what you mean...... You brought us together to stand on your side against the court, right? Hu Musk asked.

"Ahhh......h

"I won't participate in Mingnancheng." Hu Musk said firmly.

Everyone was stunned for a while, only Ye Lingyun still picked up a glass of wine and drank it.

"Yes, then why did the city lord of Hu choose the imperial court." Ye Lingyun no longer had a smiling face, only indifference remained.

"Ye Gongzi, don't think I don't know, just because of the rebellion, Canglan City is now a dead city, I don't want Mingnan City to end up like Canglan City in the future, the oppression of the imperial court is really not good, but compared to this, life is still more important." Hu Musk said.

“…… That's right. Ye Lingyun was a little regretful.

"Yes." The musk deer was so determined.

"Hu Musk, if you choose the imperial court, then you are on the hostile side of us, can you think about it clearly?" Liu Sanjiang said.

Hu Musk didn't say a word, he just got up and prepared to leave.

"No." Ye Lingyun said lightly.

"Farewell."

Hu Musk deer left, and everyone in the Tianzi room was silent for a while.

"This musk deer is really a bad brain."

"Indeed, he is just afraid of death and does not dare to confront the imperial court."

"Okay guys, don't think about him, from today on, we are allies, here, I offer you a little gift, I hope you like it." Ye Lingyun comforted these city lords.

"Come in."

The wooden door was pushed open, and Qingsi walked in with a wooden box.

Qingsi is very beautiful, and these city lords are attracted to her, but Qingsi is a little disdainful of these people, she opens the wooden box, and the box flashes with a light that symbolizes wealth.

It was gold, a chest full of gold, and it was quite a fortune.

"I know that all the city lords are oppressed by the imperial court, I am a vulgar person, and I don't know the hobbies of the city lords, so I brought things that everyone in the world likes, you can take it as you like." Ye Lingyun said.

The city lords were also very surprised, this Ye Lingyun actually had so much gold, and the amount in this box was worth the combined income of their three cities in a year.

"What's wrong guys? Don't like it? Seeing that these city lords were a little stunned, Ye Lingyun asked.

"No, no, no, like like we like, hehe."

They are like hungry people looking at food.
