The news of the death of the crown prince soon spread back to the imperial capital, and Li Ping'an fainted directly on the spot after hearing it, and the news was soon known to the other princes.

A month after the murder of the crown prince, the entire empire underwent earth-shaking changes, and the second prince Li Yang united with the northern border of Duhai Beijun, and directly occupied the northern territory as his own in one fell swoop, replacing the crown prince.

At the same time, the seven major counties that originally existed in the Yunhai Empire were released on the back of the empire in the north of the sea and Jiankang in the back, Yangkang in the west, Beihe in the east, and the three counties in the south, Duhua South County, Pingye County and Longhua County. Now there are only six left, including the royal family, and seven different spheres of influence have been formed in an instant, and the Yunhai Empire has since been divided from the inside.

The fourth prince Li Kuan is a person who maintains the orthodoxy of the royal family, and although the ninth prince Li Feiren is stubborn, he has a low status in the court, and he can only support his fourth brother unconditionally, so he can be regarded as standing on the side of the royal family.

The three southern counties were renamed Singuk, Hirano-gun was renamed Daejo, and Yonghwa-gun was renamed Shinhan.

Among them, the strength of the new country is the most prominent among the three counties, in addition to having a vast number of talents, its military strength has reached a terrifying 1.7 million, all of which is the result of Li Aotian's deployment and bribery of people's hearts and minds in exchange for these years.

After the establishment of the new country, Li Aotian established himself as the king, known as the Emperor of Yuntian, and the country name was Yuntian, which was established on the basis of the Yunhai Empire.

In addition, a new aristocratic system was established in the new country, and the Gao family became the most powerful nobleman in the new country, and Gao Laoji directly became the mainstay of the merchant power in the new country.

Han Yuemei and Gao Jun became the founding marshals of the new country, and their elite soldiers were countless, handing over the army to a veteran, Li Aotian was able to truly rest assured of the front line.

As for the authority of Hualou, Li Aotian also chose to hand it over to Han Yuemei for management, so that he could expand the scale of Hualou and become a team that would sneak attack behind the enemy in future battles.

For this reason, the village was rebuilt and transformed into a high-walled castle called the Tall Castle.

The Gao family became a family settlement in the city, and the Gao family's business gradually opened up an organization called the Feiteng Chamber of Commerce, which spread eyeliner throughout the new country, and even some eyeliner has begun to expand outward.

The mansion of the Gao family is composed of the main house, the backyard, the wing room, the cloister and other structures, covers an area of up to 1,000 square meters, the outer high wall is snow-white and flawless, the upper tiles are all jet black, this black and white form a sharp contrast, the building of the main house is three stories high, the eaves are towering, the pitch-black roof is like a bird spreading its wings, and the red edge of the show wood is set up inside, antique, and the form is beautiful.

The three-story Han Yuemei's exclusive secret room, since the authority of the flower building was handed over to Han Yuemei, this tall city has become the most important secret base in the new country.

Xiao Jing was standing in front of Han Yuemei at this time to report the secret letter.

Han Yuemei took the secret letter and did not open it immediately, but put it aside, continued to be busy with the military affairs in her hand, and said, "How many new members are there in Hualou now?" ”

"General Huiyu, there are as many as 3,000 people in total, and they are released in the major cities, if you count the previous members, there are currently more than 3,500 members in Huacheng." Xiao Jing replied.

"The number of three thousand and five is enough, and besides, what about the three powerful members I arranged for you to select before." Han Yuemei stopped her pen and asked with her hands staggered on the table.

Xiao Jing clapped her hands, and then, three women wearing three different clothes walked in. From the far left, the first person wears a white leotard with a fox mask, two long straight knives hanging behind him, and a flying fox totem embroidered on his chest.

The second person was dressed in a dancer's dress, and a veil covered her appearance, and she was beautiful and graceful.

The third place is a man in black with a scimitar behind his back, just showing his two eyes.

Han Yuemei looked at the three women and asked, "This is what you found for me?" ”

Xiao Jing said: "General, these three represent three kinds of assassins, the white-clothed one is called Kong, there are about 1,000 people in the killer group, with double knives as weapons, good at killing the enemy's rear resistance ability of the strong personnel, the second is named Yan Ge, the number of his killer group is the largest, there are two thousand people, the distribution range is also the largest, to adapt to multi-faceted actions, the third is called crack, belongs to the real assassination group, lurking in the night, can kill people invisibly, and its body is arranged with various hidden weapons issued by the general. ”

After listening to Xiao Jing's answer, Han Yuemei also felt that this arrangement was extremely safe, and different people could be arranged to deal with different actions, and then she said: "If there is information in the future, if Xiao Jing is not there, the three of you can report directly to me, in addition, Yan Ge, the people under your command will be inserting eyeliner in other counties from today onwards." ”

"Yes."

After waiting for the leaders of the three killer groups to go down, Xiao Jing was a little puzzled and asked, "General, isn't there already the power of the Chamber of Commerce interspersed among the major forces?" Why do we still need to arrange eyeliner? ”

Han Yuemei continued to pick up the pen, wrote a few words, and said casually: "Now that the seven major forces are thinking about how to annex each other, one more guarantee is more conducive to the formation of the layout, I heard that Wu Han, the monarch of Great Chu, has a daughter named Wu Qiuya, this woman is extremely fond of singing and dancing, so that Yan Ge tries to get close to that woman, so that she can provide us with a lot of information." ”

"Wu Qiuya, I heard that this woman is not only handsome and shy, but also surprisingly stubborn in her temper, but like this kind of woman with a strong desire to win, I will naturally solve it, general, my subordinates will retire first." Xiao Jing said.

"Let's go down."

Han Yuemei instructed that after Xiao Jing left, Han Yuemei opened the secret letter, which was the latest actions of the Yunhai royal family.

"Li Ping'an, Li Ping'an, it seems that your time is running out, when you no longer listen to Dongfang Jingming's important minister, that good son of yours should kill you and take the throne." Han Yuemei casually threw the secret letter aside and sighed.

However, inside the royal capital of Yunhai, Li Ping'an, who was seriously ill, was lying on the bed and breathing, surrounded by imperial doctors, but Li Ping'an's body broke out with heart disease, and many medicines tried were ineffective, and now he is at the end of a strong crossbow.

Outside the house, the second prince Li Yang, the fourth prince Li Kuan and the ninth prince Li Fei, as well as the Guantian Pavilion master Dongfang Jingming were all waiting.

At this time, there was a torrential rain in the sky, lightning and thunder, and there were a group of ministers kneeling on the square outside, these people heard that Li Ping'an's condition was worsening, and they knelt down in the rain one after another, on the one hand, to wait to see if Li Ping'an could come back to life this time, and on the other hand, it was also what these court ministers who had already fallen apart had been looking forward to for a long time.

Succession!
