Zhou Hao was very polite to Ye Ming, but when facing others, he immediately showed his style. He sat back on the chair and said calmly: "Say it."
Zhong Shenxiu said: "The Yan Kingdom was included in the Eastern Qi Dynasty. Most of the old forces in the Yan Kingdom would not dare to resist. But this will inevitably leave many people with nothing, and they will not be willing to accept it. For example, the third prince, maybe They will empty the treasury and then flee to other countries.”
Zhou Hao was shocked and said: "What should I do? I want to build Yan County, but I cannot do without the support of the national treasury!"
Zhong Shenxiu said: "So we must take action as soon as possible, with lightning speed, to capture the third prince and others in one fell swoop, and keep an eye on the treasury."
The treasury of Yan State is richer than any of the four sects and three sects. It has been more than a thousand years since the founding of Yan State. It has been accumulated from generation to generation and is very rich. It is necessary to have it in hand as soon as possible.
Zhou Hao nodded: "You're right, that's what you have to do."
"Second point. There are four sects and three sects in the Yan Kingdom. This was legal in the previous Yan State. However, the Qinglong Dynasty stipulated that counties with a population of less than 300 million can have one sect; counties with a population of less than 500 million can have one sect. Two sects. The Yan State has a population of 340 million, and there are only two sects. In other words, after the establishment of Yan County, only two of the four sects and three sects have been preserved, and the rest are illegal and must be banned."
Hearing this, Ye Ming immediately understood what Zhong Shenxiu's purpose was. Now that Chiyangmen helps Zhou Hao, he can easily get a spot. Moreover, Chiyangmen can even decide who the other quota will be given to.
Zhou Hao asked: "Two of the seven are left, so which two do you think should be left? What should we do with the rest?"
Zhong Shenxiu had already prepared a draft, and he immediately said: "Reporting to the governor, although our Chiyang Sect is currently a ninth-grade sect, we actually have the background of a fifth-grade sect, so we should be counted as one. The second one is, of course, the Tianyi Sect. Tianyimen was supported by the Yan royal family and must continue to exist. As for the remaining five forces, they can rely on Chiyangmen or Tianyimen to exist. Of course, they must also give Chiyangmen and Tianyimen certain compensation."
Ye Ming thought this was a good idea. Those sects were nominally branch sects of the Chiyang Sect, but in fact they were independent. They just lost the names of the previous sects. This was equivalent to establishing an alliance of sects. In this way, the various forces can complete the merger of the sects without bloodshed.
Upon hearing this, all the elders in Chiyang Palace became excited. In this way, Chiyang Sect can definitely reach a higher level, not to mention fifth-level sects, even fourth-level sects will be fine! "
Zhou Hao nodded. He had his own ideas and said, "Okay, let's do this. Our first step is to control the treasury first, and then take control of Tianyimen."
Zhong Shenxiu said hurriedly: "The governor is wise, we can take action immediately without further delay!"
At that moment, Zhong Shenxiu began to mobilize troops and generals, and selected twenty inner sect elders and five Taishang elders from Chiyang Sect. Under his leadership, he went to Yan Kingdom with Zhou Hao and others. This matter was so confidential that even His Highness's elite disciples didn't know what happened. They just saw a group of people leaving in a mighty manner.
"What are you going to do? Who is that kid here?"
"I don't know, maybe they are from the royal family of the Yan Kingdom. Now that the Yan Kingdom is in turmoil, of course the Chiyang Clan will intervene."
Among them, Ren Shaojie thought carefully and conveyed the message to his family through the telegraph. He is not only an elite disciple of Chiyang Clan, but also the eldest son of the Ren family, one of the two largest bronze families in the Yan Kingdom. The two major bronze aristocratic families in the Yan Kingdom are the Ren family and the Huang family. The two major aristocratic families have disciples in the four sects and three sects, and they also have very powerful influence in the political arena of the Yan state.
It can even be said that the overall strength of the two major families is not inferior to the four sects and three sects. After all, Yan State is a country with a population of hundreds of millions. It is normal for one or two bronze families to be born.
The capital of the King of Yan is the Ren family.
The current head of the Ren family is Ren Yuan, who describes him as majestic, with sword eyebrows, pink and phoenix eyes, and fair skin. He is not yet fifty years old, and looks like he is only in his thirties. He was successfully promoted to Wuzong three years ago and is very powerful. After receiving the transmission message from Ren Shaojie, he immediately summoned the clan elders for discussion. Ren Yuan was able to manage a bronze family, with superior wisdom and experience. From Ren Shaojie's few words, he deduced that something big was going to happen in the Yan Kingdom.
"Brother, what happened? Why did you call everyone together?" asked a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He is Ren Yuan's second brother, Ren Tong, who is a great martial artist.
Ren Yuan recounted the news from Ren Shaojie, and then said: "The group of people who entered the Chiyang Gate are very strong. I got the news before that the Yan Kingdom might be included in the Eastern Qi. I thought it was just a rumor, but now It seems that it is probably true.”
"What? The Yan State is going to be included in the Eastern Qi Dynasty?" The expressions of Ren's family were very surprised. This is a big deal and involves too much! It is impossible for the Ren family to stay out of the matter.
"Brother, are you sure?" Ren Tong asked.
Ren Yuan nodded lightly: "You can't be wrong. According to Shaojie, he saw a little boy entering Chiyang Gate protected by a group of masters from a distance. Although he was far away, he concluded that the child might be missing. The Crown Prince Zhou Hao. And those escorting him are the guards of Dong Qi."
"That's wrong! Why should Dong Qi protect Zhou Hao?" Ren Tong was puzzled. He naturally would not have thought that Zhou Hao's aunt was a concubine, and because of Ye Ming, the young marquis was willing to support Zhou Hao as the county guard.
"We have no way of knowing the specific situation. What is certain at present is that Zhou Hao may be in charge of the future Yan State. This is a major matter, related to the interests of the Ren family. I called you here to discuss how to deal with this situation. The situation." Ren Yuan said, "The Yan State is not big or small, with four sects, three sects, and two great families, the cards will inevitably be reshuffled. This is both an opportunity and a crisis for our Ren family. "
"Clan leader, you are our backbone and have the highest wisdom. Please make up your mind. We will fully support you." A clan elder said respectfully. Ren Yuan was a member of the Wuzong clan and had made great contributions to the family, and his clansmen all believed in him.
Ren Yuan nodded and said: "The situation in Yan country has changed, and the Ren family alone can't change anything. So we must unite with the Huang family and deal with it together. With the influence of our two families, we can stand firm in this storm and make a lot of money." A stroke of luck. It would be even better if the Sheyang Sect is involved."
A clan elder said: "The clan leader said yes, but are the Huang family willing to cooperate with us?"
"Both parties will benefit from cooperation. They have no reason not to agree." Ren Yuan said, "I have sent someone to invite the Huang family leader. He should be arriving now."
Say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will arrive.
"Hahaha..." A loud laugh came from outside the door, "Brother Ren invited me, how dare I not come?"
I saw an old man, wearing black clothes, skinny and thin, with eyes like lightning. He walked in with great strides, his aura was not inferior to that of Ren Yuan at all, he was actually a martial arts master! Behind the old man were six people, all of whom were great martial arts masters. Their bodies were full of energy like dragons, and they were powerful and powerful.
"Brother Huang!" Ren Yuan stood up and saluted the other party.
The old man's name was Huang Jizu, the patriarch of the Huang family. He sat down next to Ren Yuan and said with a smile: "Brother Ren, I received your message. If it is true as you said, our two families will indeed join forces."
Ren Yuan smiled and said: "I am a smart man, so I won't say anything unnecessary. You and I will discuss how the two families should deal with this situation."
Huang Jizu half-squinted his eyes and said: "If that little kid Zhou Hao comes back to take charge, the first thing he will do is to get rid of the third prince and his supporters, and then occupy the treasury. Our two families will arrange it in the palace We have recruited many people to see if we can take action before them."
Ren Yuan said: "That's right, we will issue the order immediately."
After saying this, both of them took out message charms and conveyed messages to different people.
Yan State, Imperial Palace.
The Imperial Palace of Yan State is very grand, and this is Ye Ming's first time entering the palace. Originally, his cultivation level was not high and he was not qualified to participate in this operation. But Zhou Hao really hoped that Ye Ming could be by his side, so he had no choice but to follow him. At this moment, he and Zhou Hao were sitting in a flying sedan chair, carried by four Wuzongs.
The palace guards did not dare to stop these people who were flying into the sky and escaping from the earth, and even if they wanted to, they had no ability to do so. So, Zhong Shenxiu and his group went directly to the inner courtyard of the palace as if they were in a deserted place, and got off the sedan in front of the palace.
In the palace, a group of civil and military ministers were attending court, and the new emperor sat steadily in the middle. The movement outside immediately alarmed everyone, and they all looked outside. In front of the palace gate, there were more than a dozen imperial guards who did not want to work hard. The leader immediately shouted: "Who dares to break into the palace?"
The sedan door opened, and Zhou Hao walked out with a stern face. Everyone in the palace knew Zhou Hao. He was the original crown prince. When they saw him, the guards were stunned. Zhou Hao ignored the guards and strode towards the palace, no one dared to stop him. The people around Zhou Hao were too powerful, either Wu Zong or Wu Jun.
Even a fool can tell that the Crown Prince is back!
There was a young man sitting on the throne. The moment he saw Zhou Hao, his face turned livid. Why is this little beast back? How dare he come back? Also, who are those people around him
"Come here! Capture all these rebellious officials and traitors!" The new emperor gave the order, and a large number of imperial guards rushed out from all directions. Their strength is not weak, at least they are all warriors, and there are many martial arts masters and great martial arts masters among them.
Chen Yuanliang just glanced at it lightly, his martial soul vibrated, and a terrifying pressure was released. Under this pressure, even the new emperor trembled all over and turned pale, let alone the guards. The guards fell to their knees one after another. Some of them excreted and urinated and fainted from fear.
The ministers all knelt on the ground and trembled non-stop. This is the strength of Martial Lord. The title of Martial Lord is by no means given casually. .
Zhou Hao stepped into the threshold of the palace. The threshold was very high, so Ye Ming hugged him over. Then he walked around the kneeling ministers and came to the new emperor. He raised his little face, stared at the pale new emperor, and said calmly: "Third brother, I'm back."
The words "third brother" woke up the new emperor. He gritted his teeth and pointed at Zhou Hao: "You... why do you want to come back? Do you think I am afraid of you because you have brought a master?"
Zhou Hao said lightly: "Third brother, in order to get the throne, you killed your eldest brother, your second brother, your father, and finally, you killed me. I just want to ask you, now that you are on the throne, Are you really happy?"
The new emperor was shocked and suddenly sneered: "What's wrong with being an emperor? The entire Yan Kingdom belongs to me, I can call the wind and rain, and do whatever I want!"
Zhou Hao sighed and said: "Third brother, there will be no Yan Kingdom in the future. The Eastern Qi Kingdom will turn Yan Kingdom into Yan County. From now on, we will all be subjects of the Qinglong Dynasty. You should wake up from this dream of the emperor." ”
"What? Transferred to Dong Qi? Turned into Yan County? Nonsense, how could I not know about this?" The new emperor was shocked and his face became even paler.
Zhou Hao said calmly: "Third brother, it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. You killed my father, and I won't let you go. But before you die, please hand over your military power and the keys to the treasury."
"You... don't even think about it! I am the emperor of the Yan Kingdom, the military power is mine, and the treasury is also mine..." The new emperor was anxious and roared loudly, but he was obviously a tough-tempered man, and the presence of the three martial princes beside Zhou Hao made him have no confidence. .
But before he could finish his words, a ray of light flashed in Chen Yuanliang's eyes, and a wisp of tyrannical spiritual thought forced its way into the new emperor's sea of consciousness. The next moment, his expression became dull and his will was controlled by Chen Yuanliang.
