Chapter Eighty-Four—Sealing the Dead

Husband and wife for more than 20 years, their husband's temperament and temperament, the eldest princess Bu Lian can be described as well-understood, and what her husband said in his tone is for the sake of the people of the country. But Bu Lian knew that this was just his excuse and excuse, and he still had such thoughts, which can also show from the side that Zheng Junchao did not want to hand over all the power in his hands so simply, and the words he had promised him were still not as ambitious as power.

Thinking of her husband's stubbornness, Bu Pian couldn't help but sigh slightly, although she did not deny that her husband did have great talents, but the situation within the feudal country was far more complex and changeable than he imagined.

As the daughter of the royal family, the eldest princess of the royal family knows better than others that the royal family, which has ruled the country for more than 300 years, has an extremely strong foundation, and it cannot be reversed by replacing an emperor.

Her younger brother, Guangwu Jun Buling, although his ability is not strong, he is a little indecisive in doing things, his military talent is not very strong, and his means of controlling people are not as good as his husband. As a king, it is difficult for Bu Ling to become a Ming Jun, and Bu Lian is also very clear about this.

However, Bu Ling only needs one point to win the name of righteousness, he is the eldest son of their father, and he is a prince who has been established since he was a child, with this identity background, most of the members of the royal family will support him to succeed to the throne. And such prestige and fame are his husband, and the Holy Emperor Zheng Junchao has no way to win it by himself.

For more than 300 years, whether it is officials, sergeants, merchants, craftsmen, or ordinary people, they eat the official Lu of the royal family, and the subsidies and pensions they get are also given by the royal family.

Zheng Junchao may be able to defeat Guangwu Jun Buling, who is far inferior to him, in terms of military strength, or he can use his excellent Instrument Soul Ninth Order move to sweep tens of thousands of troops by himself, which is completely out of reach for Zheng Junchao.

However, he did easily defeat Guangwu Jun Buling in the duel, this cultivator soul ability was completely inferior to his monarch, and with the help of his wife, Princess Rong Le Bu Lai Bu Ying, mobilized the army of the Feng Zhan Hui to forcibly enter the main Zhongcheng, and then, the army of the Feng Zhan Hui quickly took control of all the major cities in the Feng Kingdom in the name of taking over.

The main generals of the Sealing War Society, starting from the captain and above, purged the main backbone of the original army, so as to control most of the regular troops in the territory of the feudal country. At the same time, Zheng Junchao sent his henchmen, important members of the Battle Society, to various places to take charge of military power in various places.

After initially stabilizing the situation, Zheng Junchao immediately set out to expel the forces of the royal Bujia in Zhongcheng, and exiled Guangwujun Buling to the remote Lingcheng in the north, and ordered his henchman, Gongsun Yu, the new governor of Lingcheng, to be closely guarded.

On the surface, the main officials of both the court and the local government were controlled by the Fengzhan Society under the command of the Holy Emperor Zheng Junchao, who was absolutely loyal to him, and the wings of the royal family were gradually swept away.

But secretly, these generals and officials who were loyal to the royal family gathered together secretly by forcibly using the threat of the army to give up their military power and leave the army, and they had been looking for an opportunity to overthrow the rule of the Holy Emperor Zheng Junchao.

This secretly formed force is very powerful, and it is also the real reason why the forces of the white-clothed celestial girl quickly formed an army when Princess Buluan of Qingxuan raised the banner and announced her official rebellion against the Holy Emperor Zheng Junchao. Not only that, the young and strong people enthusiastically joined the army, and the people donated money and materials to help Bu Luan quickly pull up an elite army, and the Feng War will be fought so far.

What's more, the people may not care who the superior is, as long as the superior can make their lives peaceful, they will not have any dissent.

But these loyal to the royal family, and now an important part of the white-clothed celestial girl's power, in fact, are all officials who have been cared for and promoted by the royal family for generations, or cultivated, and have a certain family background. The power of these officials is spread all over the territory of the feudal state, which is also the foundation of the feudal country, or the royal family.

It is these sparks that together form a bright flame, perhaps when the Sealing War will be in its heyday, the combat effectiveness of the white-clothed celestial girl force may not be in their eyes.

This is also related to the composition of the Sealing War Society itself, when the Holy Emperor Zheng Junchao was allowed to form the Sealing War Society, he deliberately selected middle and low-level officials and ordinary soldiers, these soldiers are relatively easy to control, and as long as they promise high profits, they can be taken under his command.

The combat quality and personal ability of these low-level soldiers are indeed very strong, and Zheng Junchao also implemented it according to this idea when he was selected.

Low-level officers and men with excellent quality should be selected and trained hard and rigorously, and outstanding generals should be selected and trained. The selection system within the Sealing War Society is extremely strict, and only those who pass the test can become real generals.

In terms of the quality of the soldiers, the military quality of the Fengzhan Society can be said to be absolutely top in the entire feudal country at that time. This is why, after the Holy Emperor Zheng Junchao entered the Zhongcheng, the troops sent to various places by the Feng Zhan Society were able to quickly defeat and control the defenders in the main cities, and smoothly took over the military power.

Whether it is Yue Ji, Gongsun Yu, Yu Ze, these henchmen of the Holy Emperor Zheng Junchao, or the important generals in the Feng Zhan Society, they all have the ability to take charge of themselves, not only have high personal martial arts, but also have quite strategic means, and it is natural to control the army.

However, since ancient times, the establishment of political power has not only required military strength, but also political power and the support of local families and people. Using the army, you may be able to win a temporary victory, but it is like a rootless ping, empty and short-term prosperity, but it is difficult to stand up for a long time without a foundation.

The Feng Zhan Hui is a very typical example, although the queen of the Holy Emperor Zheng Junchao is the eldest princess of Rongle, but his own actions still fundamentally separated him from the royal family.

Zheng Junchao's original intention was to completely get rid of the shadow of the royal family and establish a new foundation of his own.

It's just a pity that although he himself has been committed to such an action, after all, the royal family, which has ruled the feudal country for more than 300 years, has intertwined roots in the feudal country, and it is difficult to fundamentally cut it off, let alone want to replace it so easily.

At the beginning, with the help of the name of Princess Rongle Bu Lian, Zheng Junchao was also able to get the support of some of the royal family. But with the failure of his first attack on the Qi State, in the territory of the feudal country, several counties under the rule of Yicheng, people who supported the royal family gathered a group of people, changed their banners and declared their rebellion against the Holy Emperor.

At that time, Zheng Junchao was already holding back the fire in Qi State, and this rebellious force, which did not have much affection for him, naturally became his best target to vent. He immediately mobilized two armies, attacked from the north and south, and annihilated this rebel army under the banner of the royal family in one fell swoop.

In order to make an example of the monkeys, the Holy Emperor Zheng Junchao ordered all these rebels to be killed, and hung the heads of the main rebels on the local city tower as an example.

In the short term, Zheng Junchao's approach was not wrong, and some forces that were originally ready to move suddenly died down, and he was given more time to organize the army and civilians again to prepare for the next attack on Qi State.

In the long run, Zheng Junchao's approach exposed his inconsiderate place, although these forces loyal to the royal family, although they were hidden for a while, no longer interfered with and affected the government of the feudal state at that time. But their hostility towards the Holy Emperor will not be eliminated by this, but will remain strong over time, and their belief in resisting him will only be strengthened.

This is also the fundamental reason why, when Guangwu Jun Buling's eldest daughter, Princess Qingxuan Buluan, played the banner and recruited troops, the forces that were dormant and waiting for the rest of the country rushed to defect.

These forces have already made sufficient preparations in the open and dark, but they lack a leader, and the appearance of Princess Buluan of Qingxuan is also in line with their ideas to a certain extent. Even if Bu Luan was a woman, she was not the most qualified heir of Guangwu Jun, and they rushed to support the forces of the white-clothed celestial girl without hesitation.

The uprising of the white-clothed celestial girl was a little earlier, and the time chosen at that time was to seize the opportunity of the Holy Emperor Zheng Junchao to go to the Qi State again to revolt, but he never thought that the internal information was wrong, and Bu Luan and Bu Yuehan were quietly put together by Gongsun Yu with false information.

While passing on the false information, Gongsun Yu also secretly sent someone to pass the news to the Holy Emperor Zheng Junchao. Once engaged, the army temporarily formed by the forces of the Celestial Maiden in white could not be compared with the elite army of the Sealing War Society, and it was defeated at the first touch.

As a last resort, Princess Qingxuan Buluan could only choose to save the last force and retreat to the Qingming Mountains. At that time, none of these forces that followed Bu Luan left, and they still followed Bu Luan's side.

They knew very well that they had chosen to be loyal to the royal family again, and there was no other way to retreat, and the Holy Emperor Zheng Junchao would never forgive them, and surrendering would only lead to a dead end. On the contrary, if they continue to follow the forces of the Celestial Maiden in White, although they can't see much hope for a while, as long as external forces, such as the Qi State intervene, the internal situation of the Sealed State will also develop in their favor.

It seems to be accidental, it seems a little incredible, following Princess Qingxuan Buluan to retreat to the Qingming Mountain Range, at that time, none of the troops of the white-clothed Heavenly Maiden force left without permission. It's not because of how loyal they are, it's just that they have no way to retreat, and surrendering is only a dead end, so it's better to continue to follow the forces of the white-clothed Heavenly Maiden and follow Princess Qingxuan Buluan.

As the most important representative of the royal family now, and the only one left, a member of the royal family. These members who are loyal to the royal family know that the benefits that they can't get in the hands of Saint Emperor Zheng Junchao in the Sealing War Society will definitely be available here in this Qingxuan princess. As the fathers of the royal family who have been loyal to the royal family for several generations, or even dozens of generations, they naturally have their own interests. And if you want to keep this benefit, you must tie them up with the royal family again, so that there is enough guarantee.
