In this battle of the river valley, the king of the beast was shot in the right eye by a cold arrow by Prime Minister Miao Cheng with trickery, and his injuries were very serious. In order to allow the Beast King to be well healed by the imperial court doctor, the Beast King was escorted back to China by General Su Claw to treat his illness and recuperate. Through several battles with the army led by Prime Minister Miao Wen, King Scholar felt that Prime Minister Miao Wen was difficult to deal with, although the current coalition army adopted the method of striking first to strengthen, and temporarily occupied the valley town of Cuizhu Kingdom, but the losses of the coalition army were not small, and now the king of the beast was blinded by the cold arrow arranged by Miao Wen. In the next struggle, I don't know how many tricks Prime Minister Miao Wen will have to make it difficult for the coalition forces to deal with. This made the scholar king feel that if he did not take a high-level approach in time, so that Prime Minister Miao Wen was tired of coping, he would just use swords in the river valley, and it would be very difficult to defeat Miao Wen and annex the river valley. Some unpredictable variables that will occur at any time may eventually lead to the failure of stealing chickens and the loss of a handful of rice.

For this conquest of the Cuizhu Kingdom, the king, the queen mother and the important minister of the court, Miao Wencheng, all left the court to go on an expedition, and the daily affairs of the court were taken care of by the younger brother of the old king. King Scholar felt that he should find a way to find a loophole in the hasty decision made by the old king of the Cuizhu Kingdom due to the sudden death of the old king, and make a breakthrough. As we all know, after the sudden death of the old king, the prince of Cuizhu Kingdom had an attempt to become the king of a country because the son of the old king did not have much ability to govern the country. But because of the old king's advance layout of Prime Minister Miao Wen, and although the queen mother has become the queen mother of the kingdom, she is actually only in the prime of her thirties, in order to consolidate her son's foundation in the kingdom, she is also doing her best. Therefore, although the prince has a strong desire to change his identity, due to the cruel reality, he has to hide his edge and wait for the time to come.

In order to achieve the purpose of this expedition, the scholar king knew that rushing to achieve the results could only backfire, because there is a saying that "if you want to hurry, you can't reach it", after the king of the beast was seriously injured in the battle, he did not put in the energy to organize the generals to challenge. Tian Long, who had been recuperating in Gucheng, was appointed to come to the camp in the valley, insisting on only defending and not attacking, forming a line of defense to prevent the army of the Cuizhu Kingdom from going to recover the important land of Gucheng. After everything was arranged, the scholar king was accompanied by Ye Changfei with a somewhat lost mood and returned to the kingdom's court, preparing to implement the next strategy.

King Shusheng's plan was that when the war between the two sides was stalemate, he would return to the court first, and use the method to send people to the court of the Cuizhu Kingdom to plot against the prince, so that the backyard of the army of the Cuizhu Kingdom who was fighting outside would cause trouble. Once the rebellion is successful, even if Prime Minister Miao and the Queen Mother have the ability to reach the sky, it will be difficult for them to defend the river valley and return to China through the Zizhu Valley, the only dangerous passage. When the time came, the prince led the rebels of the Cuizhu Kingdom to pour in from the Zizhu Valley, and his own coalition army entered their military camp from the upper reaches of the river valley, and the armies of Prime Minister Miao and the Queen Mother were attacked before and after. The court has changed, the backyard is on fire, and the soldiers of the kingdom who are fighting outside will surely be confused. At that time, Prime Minister Miao and the Queen Mother's mother and son will only be captured alive or killed in battle and become lonely ghosts.

King Scholar returned to the court and planned to appoint a lobbyist to the court of the Cuizhu Kingdom as soon as possible, and the King Scholar knew that in order to succeed in this plot against the Prince of Cuizhu Kingdom, the appointed lobbyist was very important. After contemplation, the scholar king felt that the court jinshi juniper was very suitable, and juniper was a talented person, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, able to speak ficklely, and clever as a spring. Du Jinshi was a civil official, thin and weak, and always looked like he had just recovered from a serious illness. If you want Du Jinshi to rush out of the river valley where the army of the Cuizhu Kingdom is stubbornly defending, from the Zizhu Valley to the court of the Cuizhu Kingdom, this is tantamount to asking Du Jinshi to go directly to death. At present, under the condition that Prime Minister Miao Cheng and the Queen Mother are unaware, let Juniper quietly touch the court of Cuizhu Kingdom and collude with the prince, only to bypass the mountain range north of the Xuantan River Valley, set off from the court of the Niuling Kingdom, turn over the towering Yunmeng Mountain, and then go down the mountain From the ravine of the mountain range to the north of the river valley, without anyone knowing, disguise and arrive at the court of the Cuizhu Kingdom to meet the prince.

After Juniper was appointed by the king, in order to achieve his goal as soon as possible, he immediately took action, led several elite soldiers, and escorted him all the way. According to the request of the scholar king, Juniper and a few soldiers disguised themselves as mountain farmers who went into the mountains to collect medicine in the majestic mountains and the valleys where the clouds and peaks covered the sun. After all the hardships, finally in the early winter season when the snow is already falling. Came to the capital of the Chuzhu Kingdom, Yecheng.

Yecheng is a valley city surrounded by mountains, and the mountains around the city are covered with snow even though it is early winter. Under the light of the early winter sun, it is a unique sight. After Juniper and the others came to Ye Cheng, they first found an inn near the kingdom's court and settled down. According to the instructions of the scholar king, he told Juniper Jinshi to act at the opportune opportunity, and not to rashly enter the palace to see the prince in public. In order to prevent the opportunity from being exposed, he was quickly reported to him by people loyal to the king and the queen mother in the court. That would be wasted and counterproductive. Therefore, Juniper still pretends to be a medicinal herb businessman in Yecheng, and walks around outside the prince's mansion every day. When the prince left the mansion, without anyone else knowing, he would meet the prince in person, present the letter of the scholar king, and then persuade the prince with Du Jinshi's incorruptible tongue to achieve the goal of rebellion.

After waiting for a few days, finally one evening, Juniper saw the prince walking out of the mansion alone, without any entourage, and the prince walked straight to Rouge Lane in Yecheng, Juniper knew that the prince had come out to have a good time in the evening. Juniper immediately followed him and went to Rouge Lane to enter a brothel called "Dangqing Building" with the prince. In the narrow aisle of the brothel, the lights were dim, and Juniper seized this rare opportunity to walk up to the prince and hurry to hand him the letter from the scholarly king. When the prince saw the letter sent by the envoys of the Niuling Kingdom at this time, he immediately understood their intentions. The prince immediately turned around and walked out of the building. Juniper followed closely behind and entered the palace with the prince.

In order to avoid people's eyes, the prince did not receive Juniper in the hall, but in his hidden study, the prince divided all his subordinates, and after reading the letter of the scholar king, he talked with Juniper Jinshi with doubts. King Shusheng expressed very bluntly in his letter: The king of Cuizhu and all his auxiliary forces are on the outbreak, and the current war is stalemate, and it is impossible for the king to return to China in a short time, and the prince can take advantage of this opportunity to make changes in the court and seize the throne. King Shusheng also made it clear in his letter that their coalition could hold back the king of Cuizhu and his auxiliary forces at this critical moment, preventing them from returning to the court. After the deed was completed, he only wanted to be able to obtain the Xuantan River Valley and plunder the queen mother to reward the beast king to relieve his lovesickness.

The prince felt that now was indeed a good opportunity to realize his wishes, but when the country was at war and the war was tight, as the prince of a country, he did not worry about the country, but colluded with others to seize the throne when the country was in trouble, and he would be scolded by the world. Using his eloquence and eloquence, Juniper soon persuaded the prince and offered him some advice that would allow him to achieve his goals without insulting. The prince suddenly felt that the clouds had suddenly cleared and he was overjoyed.

According to Juniper's suggestion, the prince assigned his cronies to lead a group of soldiers guarding the capital to be stationed at the mouth of the Zizhu Mountain valley. In fact, the prince's cronies only kept the garrison still when they brought their troops to the mouth of the Zizhu Valley, the purpose of which was to block the king's retreat back to China and block all news of the kingdom's troops fighting in the valley.

According to Juniper's suggestion, when the prince was convening the ministers of the court and the central government to discuss the matter, his cronies guarding the mouth of the Zizhushan River Valley assigned a soldier, pretending to rush to the court with a whip, and hurriedly reported the emergency to the prince, and lied to the king, the queen mother and the prime minister Miao Cheng led the army in the river valley war, and because of the defeat in the war, the king, the queen mother and the prime minister Miao Cheng were all killed by the enemy. At the initiative of King Scholar, these tricks played by the prince and Juniper Jinshi were not known to anyone except the prince's cronies.

I heard that the king was killed abroad, and that the king was young and had just married and had no queen, so the kingdom could not be without a king for a day. The ministers who had colluded with the prince immediately suggested that only the prince should be the king, and the other ministers of the court and the central government could only face the reality and echo the prince to sit on the throne.

The prince became the king in an undignified way, and the prince also knew that his current king was not justified, because the real king was not dead at all, and he was only taking advantage of the king's expedition to deceive the subjects of the Cuizhu Kingdom. Now the only way out for the prince is to tie up with the coalition army of the scholar king, and in order to continue the conquest and avenge the king, mobilize the remaining army of the imperial court to rush to the Xuantan River Valley, and work with the scholar king as soon as possible, flank the real king's army before and after, and finally harm the king, dedicate the queen mother to the king of the beasts, and give up the Xuantan River valley that the scholar king is determined to get, so that he can sit back and relax for a long time as the king of a country in the kingdom court, and the king should also be justified.
