Yang Jiumei received the following report and realized the seriousness of the problem, and immediately sent the city defense army into various parts of the city to maintain social stability, and at the same time ordered the arrest to quickly investigate the initiators of the rumors. After doing this, he sent someone to invite Wang Laozhi and Fang Jinzhi.

Yang Jiumei exchanged pleasantries with Wang Laozhi and Fang Jinzhi, and sat down separately. Yang Jiumei said straight to the point: "The earth moved not long ago, and you must have felt it. The two glanced at each other, and Fang Jinzhi said, "The adults called us, presumably to stabilize people's hearts, right?" ”

Yang Jiumei frowned slightly and said, "It's nothing if the earth just moves, just do a good job of disaster relief and pacification." However, some people take advantage of the earth to spread rumors and make people panic, and this matter must be taken seriously! Wang Laozhi nodded and said, "No wonder when we entered the city, we saw that martial law was already in the city. I wonder what rumors there are? Yang Jiumei said: "It's just exaggerating the harm of natural disasters, and it also makes a far-fetched connection between natural disasters and some of Yan Wang's policies." Most of the people are ignorant, and when they hear such words, they naturally feel very frightened. I have already imposed martial law measures on the entire city, but this method can only cure the symptoms, not the root cause, so I hastily sent someone to invite the two of them. ”

Fang Jinzhi's red lips lightly opened: "We are all subordinates of the sect leader, but the lord has orders, although he is outspoken, he will obey them." Yang Jiumei bowed her head and said, "Thank you!" After a pause, he said, "Since some people are using rumors to incite the people, we will use another way to dispel the people's concerns." The influence of Mingjiao among the common people is increasing day by day, and it has surpassed Buddhism and Taoism, so I asked Mingjiao to come forward to clarify the rumors. ”

Fang Jinzhi and Wang Laozhi nodded, and Fang Jinzhi said, "This is a matter within my equal share." Then he stood up, and Wang Laozhi and Yang Jiumei also stood up. Fang Jinzhi said: "Let's go and do it." Yang Jiumei bowed her head and said, "I'm tired." Fang Jinzhi smiled and said, "Your Excellency doesn't have to be polite. He bowed slightly to Yang Jiumei, then turned around and left. Wang Laozhi also bowed to Yang Jiumei and followed Fang Jinzhi.

At the same time, in a mansion in Yanjing, two people were excitedly discussing the current matter, one of these two people was the former Liao Concubine, Yelu Hongling's husband, Xiao Yu, and the other was Duan Yao, the eldest son of the Duan family, the largest scholar family in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. The two of them were drinking and talking about what was happening, and they were both very excited. Xiao Yu said: "The fact that such a huge natural disaster has fallen from the heavens shows that the mandate of heaven is not on him Yang Peng at all!" He Yang Peng is just a chaotic minister and thief, so God is angry with him! If people don't punish them, heaven will punish them! Xiao Yu danced with his hands and gritted his teeth, looking like he couldn't wait for Yang Peng to die immediately.

Duan Yao picked up the wine jug and filled the wine glass in front of Xiao Yu, and then filled his own wine glass. put down the wine jug and said very happily: "In this way, the people can finally understand the essence of Yang Peng, he is a chaotic minister and thief, and there will be no good end with him!" The earth is a warning! He picked up his glass and said, "Brother, the time has come for us to achieve great things!" Xiao Yu picked up the wine glass, took a sip of it, slammed the wine glass on the table, and said loudly: "Kill this thief at this moment!" Duan Yao also dried the wine, put down the wine glass, and said, "I have already sent someone to secretly assemble our people, brother, you go and contact the city defense army." At midnight three days later, we will start an incident at the same time with fireworks as the number, seize Yanjing, and achieve a great cause! ”

Xiao Yu nodded and said, "That's exactly how it should be!" He glanced at Duan Yao and said, "There is no problem in contacting the city defense army." But there are some things we have to say in front, after this thing is completed, who is the master of Yanyun? Duan Yao said: "Didn't we talk about this a long time ago?" After the matter was completed, the inferior people served the Xiao brothers as the king of Yanyun, and went to the Great Liao Kingdom together to enjoy the wealth together! We people want to overthrow Yang Peng, not for glory and wealth, but to save the people from fire and water, for the sake of the Confucian righteous path, and we don't care about the rest. ”

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Duan Gongzi is righteous and awe-inspiring, Xiao admires it!" After a pause, he slapped the table and stood up, and said loudly; That's it! I'll go get ready! Three days later, it's better to watch the fireworks and start an incident together! ”

In the next few days, reports from all over the country were sent to Yang Jiumei's hands, and the situation was different from place to place, the losses in the areas south and east of the eye were relatively small, while the losses in Shunzhou and Danzhou north of Yanjing were extremely serious, and thousands of people died according to the current statistics; This is not the most serious situation, the most serious situation is the mountainous area on the first line of the Gubei Pavilion, the terrain has been completely changed because of the earth movement, the mountains of dozens of miles have actually sunk into the ground, and the 10,000 Yanyun troops who were originally stationed in the Gubei Pavilion have suffered heavy losses, at least 3,000 people have died, and the rest have retreated into Danzhou.

Yang Jiumei immediately wrote a detailed report on the disaster situation, and ordered the fast horse to be sent to Tianjing New Town, and at the same time increased troops in the direction of Danzhou in case of accidents.

It was late at night, and the entire Yanjing City was silent, but in this silence, there was a bit of uneasiness.

In several large courtyards in the city, hundreds of people gathered, they were dressed in various clothes, holding messy weapons in their hands, and their eyes showed excitement, and the leaders of the group were Duan Yao, the eldest son of the Duan family, and his father Duan Wenrui.

Duan Wenrui looked at the sky, swallowed nervously, and asked Duan Yao, "Yao'er, is it time?" Duan Yao couldn't help but swallow his saliva, shook his head and said, "Not yet, I haven't knocked the three watches yet." ”

Duan Wenrui said a little nervously: "For my father, I'm really worried about my father, I don't know, I don't know if I can succeed?" Duan Yao was also very nervous, and said a little irritably: "Father, don't worry, we have been planning for so long, there is no reason not to succeed!" Even if only a few of our scholars rise up, we can capture Yanjing City, not to mention that now Xiao Yu leads the city defense army to revolt! This time the incident is nine out of ten, foolproof! When we occupy Yanjing City, the sixteen states of Yanyun will inevitably respond, and at that time, we will cede the land and claim the king to take refuge in the Liao State, and the big event will be decided, and we will go down in history! The more Duan Yao spoke, the more excited he became, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and the fear in his heart gradually disappeared.

Duan Wenrui listened to his son's words, and his originally uneasy heart also settled down.

Not long after, the sound of beating the watch was finally heard on the street outside. Everyone couldn't help but get nervous, listened carefully, and Duan Yao said: "It's here, it's the third watch." Turning his head to look at the people under him, he found that nearly a thousand people were actually staggering, some were dozing off the trees with spears, and some were sitting on the ground chatting. Duan Yaoden was angry and shouted, "It's all for me!" ”

Everyone suddenly heard Duan Yao's roar, was startled, and hurriedly stood up. This time it finally has a bit of an army look.

Duan Yao said excitedly: "It's time, everyone is ready to act!" After the deed is done, everyone will have a big reward! When they heard that there was a great reward, their eyes shone green. Duan Yao turned his head and said to the old housekeeper beside him: "Send a signal!" The old butler answered, and hurried to a large firework not far away, leaned over the torch and lit the fuse, and then hurried away.

But as soon as he ran two steps away, the fireworks that had been planted on the ground actually fell down, and they fell towards everyone. Everyone suddenly saw such a situation, they were all shocked, and they all screamed and fled in all directions, and in this riot, the fireworks made a loud noise, flew into the middle of the crowd, and then burst out a large cloud of red sparks, screams one after another, and the scene was like a fried pan chaos.

"Quiet! Be quiet! Stand still! Stand still! ......" Duan Yao shouted at the top of his voice. The scene gradually calmed down, but those who were injured by the fireworks covered their cheeks and even their buttocks and screamed.

Duan Yao looked at the scene in front of him, his face turned pale, and he shouted, "What is it called?" The cries of pain at the scene were much quieter. Duan Yao said: "The injured will go down to apply medicine, so as not to be embarrassed here!" A wounded guy shouted: "I won't go down, I'm going to revolt with my son!" The other wounded screamed as well. These guys are not injured, but they don't want to miss the opportunity to loot the treasury and make a fortune because of a small injury.

Duan Yao was naturally very happy when he saw everyone say this, and nodded in approval: "It's all good, this son really didn't see the wrong person!" Then he turned his head to look at the old butler, his face sank, and he shouted angrily: "What happened? The old butler looked stupid and snorted: "Villain, villain doesn't know, it fell by itself." ”

Duan Wenrui walked up to Duan Yao and whispered: "This kind of thing happened at the beginning, I'm afraid it's not very lucky, it's better to ......."

Duan Yao said: "Father don't worry, it's just a small accident. All aspects are already ready, we have the chance to win, how can we give up halfway! Duan Wenrui felt that his son had a point, so he didn't say anything more.

Duan Yao shouted at the old housekeeper: "Why don't you bring another firework over quickly!" ”

The old butler hurriedly answered, ran down, and after a while came back with another firework, and stuck it in the grass. In order to prevent the recurrence of what happened just now, Duan Yao personally went to check it, and after confirming that it was correct, he stepped aside and said to the old housekeeper: "Send a signal quickly, it's been delayed a lot!" ”

The old butler hurriedly answered, and lit the fuse with a torch. This time, everyone had the previous lesson, and when they saw the fuse ignited, they all subconsciously took a step back, and their faces showed nervousness. This time, there were no accidents, and the fireworks flew into the night sky with a thud, and then burst into a brilliant red flower in the night sky, which was particularly eye-catching at the time when everything was silent.

Duan Yao pulled out his sword, raised it high towards the gate, and shouted, "Action!" A thousand or so people immediately shouted, rushed out of the gate, and rushed straight towards the palace of King Yan.

Duan Yao and the others had previously formulated a detailed plan of action, according to the plan, once the signal was sent, the men and horses of his Duan family would rush straight to the palace of King Yan, and the men and horses of the Sun family and the Zhao family would attack the palace, while Xiao Yu led the rebellious city defense army to completely annihilate the rest of the city defense army and control the four gates. The Sun family and the Zhao family here are also famous scholars in the sixteen states of Yanyun, slightly inferior to the Duan family, it can be said that they are the second and third Shilin family, and since recently, the Sun family and the Zhao family have been plotting against the Duan family. In fact, these three families were not the only ones who participated in the rebellion, many Shilin families were involved, but the power in the hands of these Shilin families was distributed to the three largest families, Duan, Sun, and Zhao.

The total number of troops put into action by these Shilin families is more than 3,000 people, don't get me wrong, think that these more than 3,000 people are scholars. In fact, the so-called 'rebel army' that was temporarily put together by 3,000 people, except for Duan Yao and a few other leaders, were all servants and long-term workers in various families, and these Shilin families organized these domestic slaves in order to overthrow Yang Peng's rule.

Just as Duan Yao was sending the signal, Xiao Yu was leading the thousands of city defense troops he had bought to gather in the school yard of a military camp and wait. Suddenly seeing the signal, Xiao Yu immediately became excited, and immediately turned his head to the majestic general in armor and cloak standing behind him: "Xiao Feng, act!" "Xiao Feng, a former member of the Liaoning State, is now the commander of the Yanjing City Defense Army, responsible for the security of Yanjing, in the entire Yanyun system, only Yanjing, Tianjing New City and Jingzhao Mansion have a special city defense army, and their command position is very high, second only to the commander of the main army, I didn't expect Xiao Feng, the commander of the Bianliang City Defense Army, to be bought by Xiao Yu.

Xiao Feng nodded, raised his right hand, and waved forward, and the five thousand city defense troops immediately drove towards the outside of the barracks. ……

Suddenly there were heart-rending shouts all over the city, and many people who had fallen asleep were awakened violently. Hearing the noise outside, I couldn't help but be surprised, and ran to the window and behind the door to look outside.

Duan Yao led more than 1,000 of his men to break open the gate of King Yan's palace and swarmed in, only to see the servants and maidservants and guards in the palace fleeing to the backyard. Duan Yao didn't expect things to go so smoothly, all the people on the Yan King's side fled without a fight, and he was overjoyed under the excitement, only to feel that he was really a hero of the world, a peerless hero, even if the Tang Sect and Song Ancestor, what Li Mubai started, he was greatly inferior to himself.

Duan Yao shouted loudly, "Brothers, don't let them run away!" Follow me! More than 1,000 people shouted in unison and poured into the backyard in a chaotic manner.

A large crowd of people rushed into the backyard, but there was not half a figure in sight, and the people in the palace ran away. These rabbles no longer pursued the enemy, and scattered into the houses and courtyards to loot the things that had been before, and for a while, you held vases, you rolled calligraphy and paintings, and were very busy, these guys have been enslaved in the families of scholars for a long time, and they are all very knowledgeable people, and they know that these vases of calligraphy and paintings are very valuable. Duan Yao was very angry when he saw that his subordinates were only concerned about looting, and ordered everyone to gather immediately to continue searching for the enemy, but at this moment, the wealth was already moving, who would listen to his orders!

Just when the chaos was uncontrollable, a loud noise suddenly came from outside the palace, like a thunderbolt from the sky. The 'rebel army' who was looting around the palace was startled, and Duan Yao shouted, "What's the matter? "There is a man next to him;" Wait for the subordinates to go out and have a look! So saying, the man ran towards the front gate.

A moment later, everyone saw him stumbling back, with a look of extreme fear, as if he had seen a ghost. He ran to Duan Yao, fell to his knees with a weak foot, stammered and trembled: "No, it's not good, son, we, we, we we're been, surrounded by Yan Yunjun, Bao!" ”

Duan Yao was shocked and shouted, "This is impossible! With Xiao Feng leading the army to exterminate the city defense army, how could there be an army to surround us? "Thousand, true!" At this moment, a cry suddenly came from outside the palace, like a tsunami. The hearts of the 'rebels' jumped, and then the shouts came one after another, the momentum was like a rainbow, thrilling, and the 'rebels' were terrified, like ants on a hot pot, panicked, and did not know what to do.

Suddenly, this thrilling shout stopped, and a majestic man's voice came from a distance: "Listen to the rebels inside, you have been surrounded, if you want to live, quickly lay down your weapons and come out and surrender, otherwise the army will attack and the jade will be burned!" ”

These 'rebel troops' were only improvised by domestic slaves and long-term laborers, and where was there any will to fight, and as soon as they heard the shouts outside, they had the idea of surrendering, but there was no one to take the lead, and they were still hesitating for a while.

Duan Yao said to everyone: "Don't be afraid, they are bluffing!" Hmph, there's nothing wrong with my calculations, we're in a position to win, and this city defense force must be just a patrol passing by! Each of us can drown them with a mouthful of spit! When the people heard this, their fearful mood suddenly vanished, and they burst into laughter.

Duan Yao raised his sword and said loudly, "Brothers, let's go out together and kill them all!" Everyone shouted one after another: "Kill all the Yanyun dog thieves, kill all the Yanyun dog thieves......!" Duan Yao was very excited, and ran in the direction of the gate first, and the 'rebel army' followed closely behind, shouting endlessly.

A large crowd poured into the front yard and then into the gate. I saw that hundreds of soldiers of the city defense army were lining up in formation, waiting for the battle. The 'rebel army' who rushed to the front was shocked and stopped, but the people behind were still rushing forward, and as a result, they pushed them towards the Yanyun Front outside the gate. The 'rebel army' in front saw that they were getting closer and closer to the murderous city defense army, but they couldn't help themselves, and they couldn't help but be very anxious and annoyed, and they shouted and cursed one after another.

The officer in the Yanyun army raised his right hand and waved it forward, and the crossbowmen who had long been ready to fire immediately fired their arrows, only to hear a loud swishing sound, and the 'rebel army' was shot over dozens of people when they landed. Immediately, the sergeants armed with spears came out and poked at the 'rebels', screaming and bleeding, and the 'rebels' fell like harvested wheat, and in the blink of an eye they were all over the ground. The 'rebels' were terrified, and rushed back to the palace in a hurry.

Duan Yao was shocked, his face was pale and he said in horror: "This, this is the case? Why, why are there so many city defense troops? ”

At this moment, there was a sudden loud noise at the gate. Everyone was already there, and then someone stumbled to report: "No, it's not good! The city defense army, the city defense army is in! Duan Yao was shocked, and before he could speak, someone shouted, "Run away!" Let's run back! "All of a sudden, everyone scrambled to the backyard. However, as soon as he ran into the backyard, he suddenly heard neat and huge footsteps from the direction of the back door, and saw hundreds of soldiers of the city defense army, holding torches in one hand and blades in the other, surging over.

The 'rebels' were so frightened that they subconsciously turned around, only to see that the city guards who had come in from the front yard had already approached them. Thousands of city defenders surrounded the 'rebel army' in the lake in the backyard, and the 'rebel army' could not escape, and everyone was terrified to the extreme, and did not know what to do at all.

A Yanyun officer shouted, "Lay down your arms!" Then all the soldiers shouted in unison; Drop your weapon!! "The sound was like rolling thunder. The rebel army was already frightened, but at this time, Yan Yunjun shouted loudly, and he was so frightened that he threw away his weapons one after another, and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy;

A Yanyun officer ran over, grabbed him by the collar with one hand, dragged him out, threw him to the ground, and scolded: "Damn, you dare to rebel, you are fucking impatient!" ”

Duan Yao finally came back to his senses, raised his head and glared at the officer, and scolded viciously: "Don't be complacent, when our people rush over, it will be your death!" ”

Several of the officers burst out laughing, and the laughter was filled with mockery. Duan Yao was furious and shouted, "What are you laughing at? Several officers laughed even harder, as if they were treating Duan Yao as an idiot. Duan Yao was furious, even if he wanted to attack, but when he thought of the situation at this time, the anger in his heart disappeared in an instant.

One of the officers teased, "You'll see your people later." Then he said to an officer beside him, "Take them down, put them in custody, and wait for Lord Yelu to deal with them!" The officer answered, waved his hand, and summoned all the sergeants, and took Duan Yao and the 'rebel army' under him all down.

Duan Yao was locked alone in a small room, restless, constantly longing for the soldiers and horses of the Sun family, the Zhao family, and Xiao Feng to come and kill Yan Yunjun to rescue him. Time passed in a hurry at this time, and Duan Yao only felt tormented. Finally, there was a noise of footsteps outside, Duan Yao's heart moved, and he hurriedly ran to the window to look outside, and saw dozens of people walking into this courtyard under the escort of the city defense army, among which there were actually the leaders of the Sun family, the Zhao family, and other families. Duan Yao was terrified to the extreme, the situation in front of him could not be understood any longer, and the 'rebel army' of the Sun family, the Zhao family, and others that he had been longing for to save him was also the same as his Duan family, and it was all over!

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
