On this day, on the birthday of the king of Nanyu, all the officials of Jianzhou officialdom went to the Nanyu king's mansion to congratulate his birthday. Sun Zhaoyuan couldn't shirk it, thinking that on this auspicious day, he wouldn't go to pay homage, so the king of Nanyu must have felt that he had underestimated him, and then he would be suspicious of himself, so he rode a big horse to the mansion.

Before arriving at the mansion, I saw that a group of adults had gathered in front of the mansion, including Tang Delu, Wu Jisong, Wu Daoyou and others, and even Tang Zhishang, the governor of Jianzhou. I don't want to come to Tang Zhishang and I don't want to pay homage, but I am in the officialdom, I can't help myself, my own people are in Jianzhou, and other people's territory, if I don't give me too much affection, I only know how to take it, and it will not be easy to live in the future, so I rushed over. It's just that the officials of Jianzhou don't pay attention to him, but the poor party has no one in the corner, so it's not embarrassing.

When Sun Zhaoyuan arrived, Wu Jisong said with a smile: "Lord Sun, you are here, what valuable gifts did you bring to celebrate your birthday?" ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "On the birthday of the king of Nanyu, the lower officials will prepare congratulatory gifts with their hearts. As he spoke, the attendant handed over a stone.

When everyone saw it, they were furious, and Tang Delu scolded: "Okay, you Sun Zhaoyuan, the birthday of the king of Nanyu, you actually sent a broken stone, aren't you saying that the king of Nanyu is the Monkey King, who jumped out of the stone." ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "Lord Tang, don't worry, look at the patterns on this stone." As he spoke, he handed the stone over. Tang Delu took it and looked at it carefully.

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "This is a strange stone, it is the ore that has been washed away in the Fulong River for 10,000 years, and it is washed away by the water, revealing the mineral color, which just forms a pattern, like a painter painting on the stone, but does not want to be a natural thing." Tang Delu took a closer look, and saw that there were indeed some shadows and plants on the stone, which was not beautiful. Tang Delu stopped talking.

Sun Zhaoyuan was worried that Emperor Yan heard the secret music that he Sun Zhaoyuan would plant a heart thorn if he sent valuables to the king of Nanyu, but if he only sent some hometown specialties, how could he pass the pass of the king of Nanyu. After thinking about it, he thought about sending a strange stone, but the spies didn't know the joints, thinking that it was just an ordinary stone, so it would not be reported to Emperor Yan.

Sun Zhaoyuan handed the congratulatory gift to the janitor and entered the mansion with the officials.

That night, the king of Nanyu and everyone were drinking in the courtyard, and when the wine was strong, the king of Nanyu suddenly withdrew his attendants. The king of Nanyu sighed, spat out his bitterness, and said to everyone: "This king and the previous king have been operating here for decades, and Jianzhou is becoming more and more prosperous and the population is thriving. If it weren't for your efforts, Jianzhou would never have been able to have such a prosperous situation, so this king has always thought of your merits in his heart, and he dare not forget. However, it is difficult to be a prince, and it is even more difficult to be a prince with a foreign surname in the frontier, it is better to be an ordinary person, and sometimes he does not dare to lie down all night. ”

Tang Delu and the others were shocked and said, "But did I do something wrong to embarrass the prince?"

Nanyu Wang said: "It has something to do with you and others, and it doesn't matter." ”

Tang Delu and the others knew that there was something in this, so they said: "This official doesn't know the joint, please make it clear to the prince." ”

The king of Nanyu said: "This world is under great rule, the frontier is stable, and I, the king of Nanyu, the king of Aoyan and the king of Yanxi, have become the new henchmen of the court, and the court is secretly thinking that it is to withdraw the king of the frontier and take away the arms of my three kings." From this point of view, it has nothing to do with you and others. However, I often think, you are my confidant, you will help me govern Jianzhou, and this king will give you glory and wealth. If this king is gone, you will also be a lost dog. This king really can't bear to see you fall into this field, and from this level, it has something to do with you. ”

When everyone heard this, they thought that if they became a cloth-clothed common man from now on, they would have no power to kill and seize in their hands, so they all hung their heads and looked at each other.

The king of Nanyu said slowly: "Life in the world is like a white horse, today is good tomorrow may not be good, so when this king thinks of this, he always can't sleep at night, and the food is not sweet." I don't know how to change my life against the sky, if I can keep your glory, I am willing to let this king live for ten years. ”

Tang Delu already understood what the king of Nanyu was thinking, so he said: "We all understand the bitterness of the king of Nanyu, but it is because of the jealousy of the Nie Er court against the three kings, and they want to take back the territory to the court. However, he Emperor Yan forgot the way of heaven and forgot morality. Back then, if it weren't for the three kings who gave everything they had, risked their lives, and rescued the emperor from the desperate situation of being besieged and annihilated, how could he have ruled the world with his Nie Er clan. Therefore, after the noble emperor of the Nie Er tribe unified the world, he made the three kings the king of the frontier and gave them important responsibilities. However, his little Emperor Yan, for the sake of the small power in his heart, disregarded morality and the way of heaven, and what he did became more and more excessive, and there were 200,000 soldiers in the border of Jiangzhou, which were used to guard against our king, and he was ready to withdraw his territory at any time. The lower officials are here, imploring our king to start an incident, join forces with King Aoyan and King Yanxi, enter the capital, overthrow this shameless emperor, and change the world for long-term peace and stability. ”

Seeing that the two of them sang and harmonized, the officials made it clear that they also wanted to be added to the ranks, and they didn't want to be a cloth people, and the strength of the three kings was not weak, so the situation at this time may not be successful. So everyone said: "I am willing to follow the prince to live and die together, and share honor and disgrace." ”

The king of Nanyu was happy in his heart and said, "Good, good, good!" If this king becomes bigger, he will definitely let you add officials to the knighthood, and you will be full of glory. ”

Tang Zhishang shouted: "A group of traitors, dare to make such a mess." Aren't you afraid of being wiped out by the Nine Clans? ”

The officials were drunk like this, and they were a little unstable. After all, if something fails, it will definitely harm the family.

Tang Delu said: "I almost forgot that there is still you, a spy of the Nie Er clan, here." Just kill your sacrificial flag. I implore the prince to behead Tang Zhishang, a small man, and officially break with the Nie Er clan. ”

Nanyu Wang said: "What you say is extremely true. This Tang Zhishang, this king has always wanted to get rid of you before, and today you can't escape. Someone is coming, quickly pull this person out and behead him. ”

Tang Zhishang said: "Who has not died in life since ancient times, and left Danqing to shine on sweat." King Nanyu, I will wait for you at the bottom in the future, and you rebellious dog officials, you will come down to accompany me, and none of them will be able to escape. ”

A few guards who came escorted Tang Zhishang down, and Tang Zhishang caught a glimpse of Sun Zhaoyuan and said, "Sun Zhaoyuan, you are also an official of the imperial court, and you are deeply favored by the emperor." Today, I will also sacrifice my life to serve the court. ”

Wu Jisong laughed beside him and said, "You foolish thing, don't you know that Lord Sun has already surrendered to the king of Nanyu and has become a confidant of the king of Nanyu?" ”

When Tang Zhishang heard this, he suddenly changed his face, looked at Sun Zhaoyuan viciously, and said: "Okay, you Sun Zhaoyuan, I didn't expect that you would have been embarrassed a long time ago, a nest of snakes and rats." In the coming day, I will see what face you have in the world. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan didn't dare to look at Tang Zhishang's eyes and lowered his head. Sun Zhaoyuan could only endure it, and when the time came, he would fight back.

Tang Zhishang was escorted out of the mansion and his head was cut off.

The next day, the king of Nanyu officially rebelled, and together with the king of Proud Flame, he fought the banner of expelling foreign races and regaining the country, and openly rebelled.

The king of Nanyu gathered 80,000 soldiers, known as 200,000 elite soldiers, set off from Zhangcheng Mansion, mighty, and reached the border of Jiangzhou, wanting to fight with the soldiers of the Jiangzhou court. The king of Nanyu commanded 30,000 troops with the deputy general Guo He as the forward, the 20 giant ships commanded by Sun Zhaoyuan as the sea forward, and the deputy general Zhang Xun led 20 huge ships as the sea backup. If this battle is captured, it will be able to open up the shipping channel, so that the resources of Oceania, Japan Island and other land resources can be transported into Jianzhou, and they will no longer be clamped down by Jiangzhou. Jiangzhou General Ma Ming had already prepared and deployed 50,000 soldiers in Wisteria Town.

Sun Zhaoyuan had already planned everything. The king of Nanyu and his entourage had just arrived at Wisteria Mansion, set up camp, and prepared to attack. That night, Sun Zhaoyuan led the giant ship under his command to return to Zhangcheng Mansion by night.
