"Gold and silver, death row prisoners, bandits, city lords, orders" Emperor Yuezheng paced back and forth in the study, secretly thinking about the key words written in this letter, trying to sort out the chaotic clues.

The summoned Prime Minister Yue Wen'an was standing sideways at the moment, reading the letter in his hand repeatedly. He was resourceful and upright in his life, and won the appreciation of the emperor and the moon.

"Your Majesty, from the courtier's point of view, what this letter says is too strange to make people doubt its authenticity. "Prime Minister Yue Wen'an has a different understanding.

Say. "The emperor has the heart to listen to the opinions of Prime Minister Yue Wen'an.

"First of all, under the wise rule of the emperor, our country is rich and the people are safe, singing and dancing everywhere, showing a thriving situation. The lords of the castle are dutiful and manage each castle in an orderly manner, and it is impossible to breed rebellion in such an environment.

Secondly, although some time ago, it was indeed heard that there were bandits outside Red Moon City. But under the suppression of the Red Moon City Lord Yue Fei, there was no climate, and besides, the gold and silver looted by the bandits were estimated to be less than the rewards that the city lords received every year, so how could they see it?

In addition, the number of people sentenced to death each year in our country is not very large, and it is not easy to gather 500 death row inmates at once. And with only 500 people, what kind of storm can be set off?

The most important thing is that all the city lords are the descendants of the Yue family, and the admonitions of the ancestors are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the positions they are in are all obtained by their own abilities, and it is absolutely impossible to have different hearts. Prime Minister Yue Wen'an made an analysis from the current situation of the July Kingdom.

"There is some truth, but if it is true. And how can you explain it?" the emperor then asked.

"If that were the case, the situation would be dire. If you want to rebel, you must recruit troops and horses, buy a large number of weapons, and the money required is very huge, so you need bandits to loot and increase the source of money.

Bandits cannot fight the army head-on, but they can infiltrate cities, harass ordinary people, and increase instability. Shake the hearts of the people.

Hidden deep. has not been noticed, which proves that this city lord is thoughtful and careful. Without the certainty of victory, he would not have rashly launched a rebellion. And as soon as the rebellion began. then our country is in danger. Prime Minister Yue Wen'an said that the consequences were extremely terrible.

"That being the case. Rather believe it. It will not be caught off guard in the future and cause the pain of the loss of the country!" The emperor slammed his hand on the desk, even if it was fratricidal. It is also necessary to nip danger in the bud.

"The emperor is wise!" Prime Minister Yue Wenan hurriedly praised, after all, it was not wrong to follow the emperor's wishes.

"Aiqing has a good plan?" Although the emperor Yuezheng decided to start preparations, the specific method still depends on Prime Minister Yue Wen'an to formulate.

"Your Majesty, according to the wishes of the ministers, you can first take back the tiger talismans in the hands of the city lords, so that they lose the power to mobilize the army. Without an army, there is nothing to do about those who want to rebel. Then, he will give amnesty to the world, and take the opportunity to secretly send people to inquire about the whereabouts of the death row prisoners in various cities, and he will definitely be able to find out the truth. Bring the castle lord who wants to rebel to justice. Prime Minister Yue Wen'an immediately said the method he had come up with.

"If you take back the Tiger Talisman, will it startle the snakes? Force them to rebel in advance?" Emperor Yuezheng was a little worried.

"The emperor can rest assured, the city lord who wants to rebel must be underprepared at this moment, even if he is really forced to act in advance, it will not cause much harm. Prime Minister Yue Wen'an replied.

"Isn't there a better way for Aiqing?" Emperor Yuezheng still felt a little scruples, after all, even if the rebellion could be quelled soon, it would cause irreparable disasters to ordinary people.

"Then the only way to recall all the city lords to the palace and put them under house arrest is to send people to collect evidence and identify the city lords who want to rebel. However, there is nothing major in the palace at present, and there is no reason to summon the city lords into the palace, which will also arouse suspicion. If you wait for the right time, it will take a long time, but give them plenty of time to prepare, only to be afraid that it will be more difficult to deal with. Prime Minister Yue Wenan said.

"Then you can only take back the tiger talisman immediately. Aiqing quickly went to prepare to quell the rebellion. "The emperor weighed the consequences of the two methods in his heart, and finally chose the easier way to solve it.

"Minister, obey the order. Prime Minister Yue Wen'an bowed and withdrew, and prepared to go.

The envoys who set out from the palace went to various cities to read the emperor's will to take back the tiger talisman. Although most of the city lords were unwilling, they couldn't resist the decree, so they had to hand over the tiger talisman.

However, in Green Moon City, the situation is very different.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said. Our country is peaceful and peaceful, and the city lords no longer need to control the military power, and immediately return the tiger talisman,......." The messenger recited aloud.

"Nonsense! How could the emperor have such a will? It must be you, the envoy, who falsely preached the holy decree with bad intentions. "'Yue Pingfeng' didn't listen to the envoy finish reading the holy decree, so he scolded loudly.

"Green Moon City Lord, watch your words. The emperor's will is so, if you don't obey it, you will resist it!"

"If I don't hand over the Tiger Talisman, what can you do?" A sinister smile appeared on Yue Pingfeng's face, Yue Zheng's holy decree was simply a piece of waste paper to him.

"You are despising the emperor and going against the grain!" The envoy did not expect that 'Yue Pingfeng' would have such an attitude, and immediately told the serious consequences of resisting the decree.

"Despise the emperor, what qualifications does he have to be the emperor, this country will be decided by me, halu haha......" 'Yue Pingfeng' laughed extremely arrogantly.

"You ....... this is going to rebel!?" the envoy was shocked, completely unaware that the Green Moon City Lord would want to rebel.

"Congratulations, that's right!" Yue Pingfeng replied unscrupulously, in his eyes, this envoy was already a dead man.

"I'm going back to tell the emperor. The envoy immediately turned around and tried to flee.

"You don't have a chance. "'Yue Ping Feng' flew up, pierced the envoy's body with a sword, and watched him fall to the ground in agony.

Yue Pingfeng, dressed as Meng Zhiyuan, the third prince of the Scorching Sun Kingdom, did this because after sending the Red Shadow Guard to capture the princess of the July Kingdom, he still couldn't get the news. In desperation. Sent his henchmen to check again, only to find that the dead Red Shadow Guards in the woods, although there are still a few Red Shadow Guards missing, but their situation is probably not optimistic.

He has been waiting for news for the past few days, and he is ready to be exposed.

It wasn't until the envoy came to read the holy decree to take back the tiger talisman that 'Yue Pingfeng' understood that his plot had really been discovered. Although he didn't know that Emperor Lu Dao made such a decision, it was not caused by this pursuit, but it did not affect his decision.

Wiping the blood from the saber, 'Yue Pingfeng' sat back at his desk and began to read.

"Honorable Father. Yuezheng sent people to collect the tiger talismans of various city lords. Erchen is worried, I am afraid that Yuezheng has already noticed it, and if he continues to hide, he will lose the army that he has managed to control all these years. It is difficult to complete the total planning of the internal and external parts of the draft. Erchen has prepared everything. It was decided to launch an attack on this. I also hope that my father and emperor will cooperate with his sons and retainers to launch a full-scale war against the July Kingdom. “

Without any hesitation, 'Yue Pingfeng' tied the letter to the beloved eagle's leg.

"Go!" 'Yue Ping Peak' stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the Scorching Sun Country. The falcon soared into the sky and quickly disappeared into the sky.

In the palace of the Scorching Sun Kingdom, Emperor Meng Tan sat on the throne, facing the urgently summoned ministers of civil and military affairs, and it was difficult to suppress the excitement in his heart. He had just received a message from the third prince, Meng Zhiyuan, and immediately realized that a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity had appeared.

'Yuezheng, you would never have thought that your withdrawal of those city lords' tiger talismans would be tantamount to giving away the city, and my three princes would definitely take charge of those cities for you, waiting to meet me. Hahaha, the Kingdom of July is about to become part of my Scorching Sun Country. 'The Emperor of the Scorching Sun Country, Shangmeng Tan, was immersed in his own imagination, and regarded the July Kingdom as a fat meat to his mouth.

"Long live my emperor, I don't know why I summoned my ministers so urgently?" the ministers began to ask.

"That's a good question! I have been recuperating in the Scorching Sun Country for many years, and the soldiers have been tempered and tempered, and they are no longer the same. Now, it's finally time for the best of your ability. I will lead a million soldiers to level the July Kingdom!"

The battle flags that cover the sky and the sun, the shining weapons and armor, and the army that cannot be seen at a glance all show the majesty of the scorching sun country.

Emperor Meng Tan looked at the army full of confidence in victory, full of pride, waved the order flag in his hand, and pointed to the direction of the July Kingdom: "The whole army listens to the order, the soldiers are divided into two roads, and they set off !!."

"Let's go, set foot on the July Country!" With the earth-shattering shouts of the soldiers, half of the army, led by their respective generals, rushed to the border between the Scorching Sun Country and the July Kingdom, from where they would launch a frontal attack on the July Kingdom.

The remaining 500,000 troops, led by Emperor Meng Tan himself, found another way to attack the July Kingdom by surprise.

Tsukio and Tsukimotojin, generals guarding the borders of the July Kingdom, lead the army and engage in fierce battles against the army of the Scorching Sun Country. The deafening shouts of killing, the clashing of weapons, the battlefield, everywhere there were broken armor, weapons, and soldiers who lost their lives, and blood covered the entire battlefield.

The army of the Burning Sun Kingdom was hindered here, but they were not worried, because they had a clear advantage in terms of the number of soldiers in the army. The continuous attacks are constantly consuming the soldiers of both warring sides, and as long as the number of troops guarding the frontier of the July Kingdom is reduced to insufficient to defend the entire border, the army of the Scorching Sun Kingdom will be able to drive straight into and complete the task of occupying the July Kingdom.

The main hall of the Imperial Palace of the July Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, the 500,000 troops of the Scorching Sun Kingdom, known as one million, are attacking the border with all their might. The situation is extremely critical, and the army led by the generals Yuexiong and Yueyuanzhen may be difficult to resist, so I hereby ask the emperor to send another army to support quickly. "The soldiers who were sent back to the palace by the generals Tsukio and Tsukimoto Zhen to ask for help brought back the battle report on the border.

"The Scorching Sun Kingdom actually sent a large army to press the border, intending to attack our country. Do you have a good way to retreat from the enemy?" Emperor Yuezheng felt incredulous, the attack of the Scorching Sun Kingdom without warning really made him panic.

"Your Majesty, in the opinion of your ministers, you must immediately send the troops of the whole country to support the border, once the border is lost, the troops scattered all over the place will absolutely not be able to resist, and our country will surely fall. "There is a minister's suggestion.

"Your Majesty, you can't do that. Now that the military situation is urgent, and the army of the Scorching Sun Kingdom is too strong, I am afraid that the army on the border will not be able to support the arrival of the supporting army. It is imperative to send envoys to the country of the scorching sun as soon as possible to sign an armistice agreement with it. Destroy the wealth and eliminate the disaster, and buy time to make plans again. A minister said.

In the main hall of the palace, the ministers were divided into the main battle faction and the main peace faction, and the two sides argued endlessly, and it was difficult to distinguish between the superior and the inferior for a while.

"Your Majesty, the minister believes in the abilities of General Yuexiong and Yueyuanzhen, and they will definitely lead the army to hold the border until reinforcements arrive. The sudden attack of the Scorching Sun Kingdom is huge, and the plan must be very large, and the main peace will not only be difficult to achieve, but will delay the fighters. "At the critical moment, Prime Minister Yue Wen'an, after careful consideration, chose to support the method of sending troops to support the border.

"Come, declare my will, send the whole army, and set out immediately to support the border. "After receiving the support of Prime Minister Yue Wen'an, Emperor Yuezheng finally made a decision.

Inside the City Lord's Mansion of Green Moon City.

'Yue Pingfeng' looked up to the sky and smiled after receiving the news of sending troops to support the border: "God really helps me." In July, the country was empty, and it was time for me to show my skills. “

After reorganizing the army under his jurisdiction, 'Yueping Peak' did not issue an order to support the border, but aimed at the imperial palace of the July Kingdom.

"Soldiers, I gathered you today because there are ministers by the emperor's side, and these ministers mislead the emperor and do things that go against the principles of heaven. I will lead you to the palace, the side of the Qing monarch, and kill the ministers, so that you can truly protect the country. "'Yue Ping Feng' made up a high-sounding reason to build momentum for sending troops to attack the palace.

"The city lord is wise! We will follow to the death!" 'Yue Pingfeng' arranged for Lu's cronies and officers to respond immediately and support such a decision.

"Qing Jun's side, kill the minister!" Seeing that all the officers had expressed their positions, the ordinary soldiers were encouraged, and they immediately became enthusiastic and shouted slogans.

"Okay, let's go now, and destroy all those who stand in our way!" "Yue Pingfeng was glad that he had incited this army, and immediately commanded the army to march towards the palace. (To be continued......)
