The conflict has reached a point where it is out of control, and if it continues, the first civil-military conflict since the founding of Dongsheng will be released in the imperial capital.

It was at this time that Guo Zhengtang, who was dying of old age, slowly got up, looked at Wei Lian, and slowly took out a dagger from his arms.

As soon as he saw his actions, Wei Lian's guards were on guard, protecting Wei Lian and Wei Tuo behind him to prevent the prince from being injured.

Ling Yi didn't expect that Guo Zhengtang would suddenly take out a dagger, and said loudly: "Grandpa Guo, your old ......"

"Child, you don't need to say more, the old man thanks you from the bottom of my heart today, but there are some things that the old man must do, just for the sake of these people behind him!" Guo Zhengtang stopped Ling Yi's words.

Then the old man turned to Wei Lian and Wei Tuo, and said: "The old man has been for the empire all his life, or for your Wei family all his life, the first emperor promised before his death, the old man could reunite with his son during his lifetime, and now thanks to the great grace of the prince and the martial lieutenant, the old man's family is reunited, but the hour has not yet come, and we will separate our father and son, even if I have no chance to sweep the tomb of my child during the New Year's holidays, what else does my father mean!" Today I will go with my son, you remember to me, our country is full of eldest sons who sacrificed their lives for the country, and then there are old men who killed themselves in Kyoto, and there may be a second son who died on the battlefield, I just hope that my grandson will be safe in his life, and don't sacrifice himself for you ruthless and unrighteous royal families!"

After the old man finished speaking, he raised his dagger and wiped it on his neck!

Old Man Guo wants to use his own self-slaughter to force the royal family to reconsider the issue of the burial of remains.

Wei Lian yelled: "Don't!"

He is not afraid of bloodshed, let alone killing, if it is a civilian, he will not give others a chance to commit suicide at all, he will let people be arrested and tortured to death.

But Guo Zhengtang is different, this is a founding father, and his death will shock the entire empire, and even give some people with ulterior motives an opportunity to take advantage of it, which will cause a lot of public opinion pressure in the empire.

As long as Guo Zhengtang dies in front of him, he will also be severely punished by his father, you must know that as a prince, one wrong step is a wrong step, one is not careful, and the next prince to be exiled to the frontier is himself!

Fortunately, Ling Yi's eyes were quick, and with a dodge, he returned to Guo Zhengtang's side, grabbed the dagger, and blood dripped down his palm.

Looking at Guo Zhengtang, who was excited and resolute, afraid that he would do another radical act, Ling Yi made him fall into a coma.

Turning his head, Ling Yi looked at Wei Lian, and he didn't stop the crowd behind him, who were already getting more and more excited, and began to start working with the Royal Knights, said to me Wen Tao: "Wen Tao, you are optimistic about these people, no one can shed any more blood, otherwise the situation will be out of control." ”

Wei Wentao glared at the two princes fiercely, and ordered the Royal Knights: "You can only defend, not attack!"

Wei Lian didn't expect the situation to be chaotic to such a point, that is, for a while, a guard behind him stepped forward to report: "Second Prince Qiqi, the masses in the rear have clashed with Wei, and the masses have already been injured, and now the three officers of the Wu Lingyi Department are pacifying the masses, but the effect is not obvious, please instruct!"

I didn't expect that the conflict in the rear was even more serious than here, and there had already been a phenomenon of the masses being injured, and today's events had been out of Wei Lian's estimate.

Ling Yi looked at Wei Lian and Wei Tuo and said, "Are the two princes just going to let the situation develop, aren't they going to do something?"

"Diao Min!" Wei Tuo said directly.

"Shut up!" Wei Lian hurriedly stopped him: "If you continue to talk, you really can't control the situation!"

Ling Yi listened to Wei Tuo's words, and secretly angry in his heart, a prince actually called the people of Li Min Diao Min, if this is heard, then it is okay, the water can carry the boat and capsize the boat!

From this incident, Ling Yi can see that the second prince has a plan, but ruthlessness is higher than benevolence, and the fourth prince is talented, but he has no brains in arrogance. No matter who becomes the emperor, these two people will be the sorrow of Dongsheng in the future.

Wei Lian looked at Ling Yi and said, "Now you are the only one who can solve this situation!"

Ling Yi didn't object, but looked at Wei Lian and said, "It's not impossible to hand it over to me, but I need the command of the Royal Knights and the Royal Forest Army!"

"You ......" Wei Tuo was about to speak again, but was stopped by Wei Lian.

"Yes, but I'll only give you half an hour!" Wei Lian agreed cheerfully.

Ling Yi turned around and said to Cao Dongkai, the commander of the Royal Forest Army: "The Royal Forest Army obeys the order!"

Cao Dongkai looked at Wei Lian first, got a nod, and stepped forward to ask, "What do you have to say about the Captain Wu!"

"Withdraw all the Kings!"

"This ......," Cao Dongkai hesitated.

"I won't repeat it a second time!" Ling Yi said in a deep voice.

"Do as he says!" Wei Lian ordered.

"The last general commands!" Cao Dongkai and Wei Lian bowed down and ordered at the same time.

With Cao Dongkai leaving, the Imperial Forest Army also slowly retreated, and the smell of gunpowder on both sides decreased slightly.

Then Ling Yi said to one of the heralds of the Royal Knights: "You go to the rear and tell the other soldiers that only defense is allowed and no attack is allowed, and those injured people are treated on the spot!"

"Yes!" the royal knight departed.

In the end, Ling Yi said to all the crowd: "Everyone listen to me!"

Ling Yi's words were very useful, and everyone admired him even more when they saw him dispatch the Royal Forest Army to retreat, and they all stopped and looked at Ling Yi.

"I can understand everyone's feelings, but impulsiveness can't solve the problem, our relatives are right next to us, and we can't let their spirits in heaven worry! ”

With Ling Yi's pacification, the anger of the masses gradually subsided, and they distanced themselves from the people of the Royal Knights, and the conflict could not break out for a while.

Ling Yi looked at everyone and asked, "Is anyone hurt?"

Everyone shook their heads, indicating that no one was injured, but fortunately Wei Wentao gave the order in time.

"It's best that no one is injured, there are already people in the back of the group, but you don't have to worry, I've already sent someone to treat them!"

"Force can't solve the problem, look at it, how many people around you are people who are over the age of six? Just like Old Man Guo, he is more than eighty years old, and he can't stand the toss, what can be done through reasonable appeals to the imperial court, I think the second prince will consider it for everyone, right?"

Ling Yi's last sentence was to ask Wei Lian, Wei Lian had no choice, he could only nod and agree: "Everyone can raise a problem, we will solve it slowly, impulse is not the only way to solve the problem!"

Ling Yi took over: "Do you hear that? The second prince has agreed to sit down and negotiate a settlement slowly, everyone will give the second prince a little time, I think he will give the big guy a reasonable answer!"

Looking at the crowd who nodded again and again, Ling Yi knew that he had basically calmed the emotions of the masses.

Then he turned his head and whispered to Wei Lian: "That's all I can do, it's up to you next, in fact, you and I both understand what the masses want? Whether you can succeed or not depends on how you deal with it!"

After Ling Yi finished speaking, he turned to Guo Zhengtang and gave him a breath of true anger, so that he slowly woke up, without Guo Zhengtang coming forward, the other people were just scattered sand, and they had no ability to negotiate with Wei Lian at all, and they would lose to Wei Lian in terms of momentum!

Only this founding veteran suppressed it could make Wei Lian have scruples.

Guo Zhengtang turned and opened his eyes, looked at Ling Yi with a concerned face, and asked weakly, "Am I not dead?"

Ling Yi said with a smile: "You have a long life, how can you die!"

"Hey, people are old, useless, and can't do anything!"

"Who said that, now that the second prince has agreed to negotiate with you, I still need you to come forward!" Ling Yi said.

"Yes, yes, please ask Lao Shangshu to come forward to fight for us!" A lot of people gathered around Guo Zhengtang.

Guo Zhengtang looked at the people around him, shook his body, his whole body was full of righteousness, he regained the righteousness of his youth, and stood up: "Since the people need me, then the old man will give full play to his residual heat!"

After that, the second prince invited Old Man Guo and ten representatives of the masses to an inn next to him for consultation, but Ling Yi did not participate.

He was standing outside, chatting with the crowd. Talk about their battles, talk about their lives.

A middle-aged man asked, "Captain Wu, do you think this negotiation can be successful?"

"It's going to work!" Ling Yi nodded firmly.

"Why?" the crowd asked, confused.

"In fact, it is not harmful to the empire to be buried somewhere, what the imperial court wants is the ancillary effect of this incident, what it needs is the high morale of the front-line soldiers and the full support of the people in the rear. Failure to meet the demands of the masses will only backfire. Now His Majesty the Emperor is most concerned about the war on the front line, and he will never allow a fire in the backyard, so the chances of success are extremely high!"

"Really, that's great!" everyone laughed happily!

"Thank you, Captain Wu!"

Ling Yi smiled and shook his head: "No, it should be me who thank you, it is the selfless dedication of your relatives that makes us happy today!"

"Captain Wu, is your team still recruiting?" a number of people asked.

"Move!" Ling Yi replied.

"Then I'll go home, and let that kid from my family go to your army to experience and experience, and let him inherit his grandfather's mantle!"

"Yes, yes, yes, my family will also be sent to your troops!"

"Okay, our troops are at the Laoguipo border in the Gupanshan camp in Bingzhou, you can let your children go where to report on their candidacy, but they can only let them go on foot independently, this can be regarded as a test for them!" Ling Yi replied.

"Okay, we'll let those boys in the family go, if they don't meet your standards, just beat them and throw them out of the barracks!"

"Hahaha......"

The negotiations lasted for a long time, and it was not until noon that Guo Zhengtang led ten representatives of the masses out of the inn. They were all elated and high-spirited, and it goes without saying that they won the battle.

On the other hand, Wei Lian and Wei Tuo have gloomy faces, but they are not good at attacking, otherwise they may fall again.

"How's that?" Everyone outside surrounded Guo Zhengtang and asked repeatedly.

"The court has promised us to choose another cemetery site!"

Guo Zhengtang's words were like the nectar of a long drought, making everyone's faces full of smiles.

"Has the location been chosen?" the group asked.

Guo Zhengtang was in good spirits and said, "Zhenlong Mountain!"

Ling Yi listened to these three words, his whole body was shocked, and he was about to shout excitedly, but he forcibly suppressed it.
