In the first year of the new imperial calendar, just after the Spring Festival, a heavy rain fell on the entire Beiyang land.

In the sound of the rain and a piece of peace, Beiyang Wang Beitang Xiong died suddenly. The whole country is mourning, and the vegetarian is everywhere. With the assistance of Beitang Hui, the ancestor of Beiyang, Xuanguang, the national teacher, and Wei Ye, the second prince of the Beiyang Empire, ascended to the throne.

Beitang Jun, the eldest prince who was far away in Yan County, refused to recognize the accession of Beitang Ciju, and vigorously expanded his army and stored grain in Yan County, ready to cross the Yanshan Mountains at any time and come to the imperial city.

Both the central officials and the local princes were in a dilemma. Kitado Jun and Kitado Jikoma each have their own advantages, and once the war starts, it is difficult to say who will win and who will lose.

Most of the officials have chosen a wait-and-see attitude, and neither side is helping each other.

But there are also many officials who resigned with seals and fled thousands of miles to Beitangjun in Yan County. Most of these officials are corrupt officials and corrupt officials, as well as officials who are afraid of being suppressed by Wei Ye on weekdays. If Beitang Ciju sits firmly on the throne, then Wei Ye, as the 'emperor', will definitely rise, and when the time comes, these people will not only lose their official positions, but also may lose their lives.

In the three days after Beitangxiong's death, at the north gate of the imperial capital, there was an endless stream of people fleeing north.

Wei Ye stood on the city gate, did not stop it, but was happy to see it, these fish and meat people, rampant and domineering corrupt officials, go one, and the empire will have one less loophole.

In the midst of such a wave of Lang tide, 'Taiwei', 'Huangfu Zongyang', and his son Huangfu Tenghui, 'Shaofu', 'Bai Kun' and his son 'Bai Liang', who was crippled by Ye Junlin, 'Caihou', 'Beitang Cai' and others, left Beijing one after another.

Interestingly, when Beitang Cai left, he sold all his land, and his property was as much as 100 carts!

On the castle tower, Beitang Jiju looked at these people who fled in a hurry, and couldn't help but scold: "What an old thief!"

After that, he gritted his teeth with hatred.

With so much money, I don't know how many people have been harmed by this Beitang wealth.

The corrupt officials and corrupt officials gradually drifted away, and instead of being angry, Kitado Jiju became more and more happy. These corrupt officials not only did not pry him, but went to harm his eldest brother, why not do it?

Ascending high and looking into the distance, the second colt of Kitado let out a long sigh.

Since the death of Beitang Xiong and his accession to the throne, this child has grown a lot. It can't be called a child anymore.,The current Hokudo second foal.,It's a little dragon that's growing.。

While thinking about Beitang Ciju, Prime Minister 'Huang Longshi', 'Fengchang' Zhao Lin, 'Zongzheng', 'Huang Yang', and 'Dasi Nong' Liu Wenzhao led a group of Wenchen military generals to the city tower.

Before he could speak, Huang Longshi and the others knelt in front of Beitang Ciju: "On behalf of the remaining Manchu Dynasty civil and military, the minister swears to my king that if he betrays the court in this life, the sky will thunder!"

After Huang Longshi finished speaking, all the civil ministers and military generals echoed one after another.

Beitang Ciju's heart was burning, and he trembled and picked up Huang Longshi, and then said to the ministers: "Zhuqing will not live up to me, I will not live up to Zhuqing." ”

Above the city tower, they shouted 'long live', and the cry shook the sky.

Huang Longshi carried Huang Yuyang, who was afraid of becoming a chicken, walked in front of Ye Junlin and Wei Ye, hugged his fists and said: "Two generals, the old man knows that this unscrupulous descendant and the two of them have a bit of a holiday, I don't know if the two of you can look at the old face of the old man and forgive this unfilial grandson." ”

Ye Junlin was taken aback, and hurriedly returned the salute: "Prime Minister, where is this, Junlin is ashamed." ”

Wei Ye also clenched his fists and said: "Young man, his blood is strong, and it is inevitable that there will be some bumps. Prime Minister, don't mind. ”

Under the witness of many civil and military officials, Huang Yuyang and Ye Junlin shook hands and made peace.

The sun shines brightly on the tower. Beitang Jiju looked at the sky in the distance and sighed, "Beitang Jun, I'm ready, do you dare to come?"

Southeastern Empire, Yue County.

Gu Jiantang sat in the hall, holding a letter in his hand. The edict was issued by Beitang Jun, and its content can be imagined with the toes: it is nothing more than saying that it should be 'established long and not young', he Beitang Jun should be the king of Beiyang, and the throne of Beitang Ciju is not coming in the right way, and he wants Gu Jiantang to send troops to help.

Gu Jiantang sneered and threw the edict in his hand to the ground.

Beside him, stood his three henchmen, namely: the general 'Shadow', the strategist Zhao Suming, and the valley lord Song Chuyang of Qixia Valley.

"What do you think about this?" Gu Jiantang looked around at the three of them, and then asked.

The Shadow didn't say a word, and he was so brave and resourceful that he didn't usually say anything. Zhao Suming frowned, as if he was thinking about something, but he didn't say a word.

Song Chuyang was the first to speak: "Master Hou, my subordinates believe that the second prince is on the throne, with the assistance of the edict of the first king, and the assistance of famous ministers such as Wei Ye and Huang Longshi. ”

Hearing this, Gu Jiantang nodded lightly.

In a battle with Ye Junlin, he knew the horror of the 'Xuan King', and if he wanted to fight with two Xuan Kings at the same time, he really didn't have the guts.

Zhao Suming raised his head, observed his words, and soon understood Gu Jiantang's thoughts: he didn't want to fight.

So, he also got up and said: "My subordinates also think that our army should wait and see. Wait for the two princes to decide the winner, and then make plans"

Gu Jiantang listened quietly, raised his head and said, "Go on." ”

Zhao Suming hugged his fist and continued: "If the eldest prince wins, our army will attack the imperial city, and if the second prince wins, our army will send troops to support. In this way, if the two do not help each other, whether it is the eldest prince or the second prince, they will give Hou Ye enough benefits and invite Hou Ye to go out of the mountain. In this way, no matter who wins, Lord Hou, he can maximize the benefits!"

"Okay!" After Zhao Suming finished analyzing, Gu Jiantang laughed and slapped it on the arm of the chair

A hundred miles away from the imperial capital, Bourne Farm.

Five hundred rangers with different costumes and different blades stood under the stage quite regularly. Deng Boen held a long sword, climbed to the platform, and said loudly: "Brothers, the eldest prince has raised us for so many years, it is time for us to contribute to the eldest prince. ”

"Contribute to the eldest prince, contribute to the eldest prince!"

Deng Boen's words fell, and all the rangers below shouted one after another.

Deng Boen waved his hand and continued: "Now that the Great Prince has gathered his forces and is preparing to attack the Imperial City, our task is to infiltrate the Imperial City, take the opportunity to open the city gate, and let the Great Prince enter the city. When the eldest prince sits on the king of Beiyang, we will be successful, and the glory and wealth will be endless!"

"Endless enjoyment, endless enjoyment"

Under Deng Baien's command, many rangers shouted slogans and infiltrated the Beiyang Imperial City
