Nine hundred and ninetieth chapters turn the tide
Faced with the crazy search and pursuit of the Zhongzhou army and the governors of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the Eighth Prince, under the protection of Mu Zichen, secretly returned to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty more than a month later.
Of course, the Eighth Prince would not show up publicly, but on the night of arrival, after taking a shower, he immediately summoned a group of confidants in the mansion.
These people were naturally shocked, but soon became happy again. As long as the prince came back to take charge of the situation, perhaps there might be hope for a desperate situation in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
Their family and children all live in the royal family, and are the least people who want to see the collapse of the Mu royal family.
The Eighth Prince did not disappoint them, and immediately made plans. He had thought of it on the way he came and issued it in an orderly manner.
One by one, one figure left secretly until the last person in the study room left in the early morning.
The Eighth Prince rubbed the mountain root tiredly. The more than a month of escape made his cheeks thinner than before, and his skin became much rougher and darker. With more and more white hair, he looked like he was aged more than ten years old.
Mu Zichen was heartbroken from the side and advised, "I just came back, so let's take a little more rest, your health is the most important thing."
The Eighth Prince closed his eyes, as if he was even difficult to open it. "In this situation, I have no right to rest. The life and death of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is all about me. Even if I die hard and work hard, I will have no regrets."
The determination and responsibility in the words shocked Mu Zichen. I am afraid that no one could imagine that the Eighth Prince, who is lustful by nature and uses all means, has such a side.
Mu Zichen sighed, "Don't worry, I will do my best if I need to do anything next, after all, I am also a descendant of the Mu family."
The Eighth Prince leaned against the back of the chair and did not respond.
The Eastern Zhou imperial city began to change. First, the Minister of Rites was beheaded in his study room, then the whereabouts of the Minister of Personnel were unknown, and then the commander of the Jinyu Guard who was in charge of the imperial city...
Within just a few days, one important minister after another who was powerful in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty died for no reason, and the forces behind them were also greatly affected by the loss of the leader. The members were in a panic and had not yet reacted, and were impeached and attacked by some court officials. The crimes were clear and numerous.
The prime minister of the dynasty was furious and issued an order on behalf of the emperor to investigate and imprison all those involved in the crime. That night, all of these people were secretly killed by Lingchi Qiandao.
Their family was not spared. They were seized one by one and were sentenced to the death of nine clans. A few days later, they were executed at Caishikou. The whole process was so fast that everyone caught off guard.
It is said that on that day, Caishikou was already full of people, less than half of the executions were executed, and there were no one left behind onlookers. There were pools of vomit left at the scene. The blood on the ground was washed over and over by the officials, but it was still difficult to wash away. The smell of blood was soaring into the sky and it was difficult for ordinary people to approach.
Those who are interested found that all of these killed were dragging the frontline for their own selfishness during the rebellion of the rioters. Some of them were just involved in the borders and were killed by the whole family, leaving no one left behind!
The Eastern Zhou imperial city was so murderous that people were in panic that they were even more lively. Even the usual bustling streets were much deserted. The news came out and soon shocked the world.
The wind that sounded somewhere said that it must be the Eighth Prince who was back and secretly presided over the overall situation.
Zhongzhou, Beiqi and other parties immediately responded and checked! That's right, they also sent relevant personnel. Unfortunately, the four dynasties joined forces and stalked in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty for many days, but nothing was found...
"What a powerful Eighth Prince, he made such a big noise as soon as he came back. In just over half a month, he killed no less than tens of thousands of people!" In the study of the Lord of Baijiang's mansion, Balong looked lingering fear.
It is said that the people in the martial arts world are powerful, but no one is more powerful than those in power. If someone continues to order, the people in the martial arts world will be unable to compare to the people in the martial arts world until they are exhausted and paralyzed.
Fang Xiaodie snorted, "The Eighth Prince, he actually used the means of a gangster and a lake to directly commit assassination." His tone was quite disdainful, proving that this woman's vision had become much higher. After helping Lou Linxuan with several times, she was already a little despised by her straightforward style.
Zhuo Mufeng said indifferently, "You can't blame others. Time is tight, so how can you take your time?"
In fact, he was secretly surprised by the ferocity of the Eighth Prince and found that the guy was really forced to do anything now. But if he were to do it, he would probably want to kill the group of pig teammates.
The dark room of Sun and Moon City.
After reading the news about the Eastern Zhou Imperial City, the cape man said, "Although he killed the person who was pulling his legs, it is not that easy to reverse the situation in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty."
Uncle Ming, who was standing beside him, asked, "Master, do you want to help me?"
More than four dynasties did not want the Eastern Zhou court to be finished so soon, but they also didn't want to do so. The longer it delayed, the more conducive it would be to implement their follow-up plans.
The cape man "No need for the time being. Since the Eighth Prince dares to escape from the Waterfall Pavilion, it proves that he has a countermeasure, so let him play freely. By the way, pay attention recently. Zhuo Mufeng and the Demon Sect know our existence. So many things have happened. They may not disclose our news to the four dynasties and the twelve holy lands."
This sentence made Uncle Ming very alert. He almost ignored this point and hurriedly bowed and said, "Don't worry, my subordinates will not let anyone find out our traces."
The chaos in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was still out of control. Especially after learning about the incident in the imperial city, the chaos in various places was even more hysterical and captured the only six remaining paths like crazy.
In this case, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty court secretly sent edicts to Fengnan Road, Jiannan Road, Jianbei Road and other places in the name of the little emperor, praising these Jiedushi for the achievements of extermination of rebellion and loyalty to the dragon, and specially named him a prince of a different surname. All the land occupied by the Jiedushi were included in their fiefs and had legal autonomy.
All the governors who were rewarded were confused and dumbfounded. All the fools knew that they were traitors. They raised the flag and rebelled, but they also captured the territory of the court. Now they have become kings of different surnames?
After calming down, these military governors immediately scoffed at the reward, and it was obvious that it was the Eastern Zhou Dynasty's court's pacification plan. However, after they read the reward edict, they were stunned again.
Because the edict clearly stated the pros and cons of their enfeoffment, indicating that the reason why they were impatient was nothing more than worrying that the four dynasties would invade a large scale.
But as long as they accept the title, they are orthodox and the four dynasties lose the reason for attack.
And as long as they help the royal family to quell the rebellion, the four major dynasties will not be able to send troops. Once they send troops, they can mobilize the whole country to dig west and west Chu and south Wu. At that time, the two major dynasties are afraid of losing money, and not only will they not take advantage, but will also help them with all their strength.
In this way, the conspiracy between Zhongzhou and Northern Qi will be defeated without any controversy. If you do not let go, you only need to deal with the Zhang family and hand over Zhuo Mufeng's relatives. By then, the world will restore the balance of the five dynasties.
The edict was written very straightforwardly, indicating that by then, in order to maintain stability, the Eastern Zhou royal family would not create civil unrest for at least a hundred years. It was equivalent to telling these governors clearly that as long as they accepted the edict, they could ensure that their power would last for a hundred years and enjoy all their glory and wealth!
At this point, several governors finally became restless and began to hesitate.
Didn’t they desperately conquered cities and plunder the land just to have the greatest confidence when the four dynasties sent troops, or to surrender or escape? But unless it was absolutely necessary, who would be willing to truly fall to that level?
According to the edict, once a king is granted a title, he will take advantage of the name, not to mention the four great dynasties, the Eastern Zhou royal family will not be able to slap themselves and easily attack them. It is indeed a hundred times better than the current situation.
To take a step back, even if they jointly destroyed the Eastern Zhou royal family, the rioters would stand up to the top of the mountain, and no one would submit to each other. The land they could occupy was probably not as much as the kings, and in the end, the four dynasties would find a reason, each of which would be defeated, and they would die without a complete body.
These Jiedushi recruited their confidants to discuss the matter that day. After lasting for several days, they sent a message to several other Jiedushi who were granted questions about the authenticity of the matter according to the edict.
When they learned that the rest of the people had indeed received the edict, these military governors were completely moved!
No matter from any aspect of analysis, being granted is more beneficial than disadvantages, and everyone is granted, and if something really happens, it is enough to resist together.
Finally, after several rounds of discussion, the Jiedu governors secretly sent a message to the Eastern Zhou court, expressing their desire to repay the emperor and swearing allegiance.
"A group of jackals, tigers and leopards who forget their righteousness when they see profit!"
After receiving the feedback, the Eighth Prince sneered and put down the information. All this was his plan, but there was no trace of complacent in his heart. If possible, he would wish to tear the traitors out of pieces immediately, how could he be generous and tolerant?
All this is just to comfort. With the current situation in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, he could not act according to his temper. If he had not known that he would have been too much or too little, and died prematurely, the Eighth Prince could even reward all the chaotic troops.
Mu Zichen looked at the letters on the table.
He was involved in the whole process, and he never expected his nephew to break the deadlock so much. He sincerely admired, "What else do you have to be dissatisfied with? Compared to you, Uncle Wei is indeed more suitable for practicing martial arts."
He thought about it for a hundred years, but probably couldn't think of a nephew's solution. At this time, he was still admired.
Shaking his head, the Eighth Prince was about to speak, when a confidant knocked on the door of the study. After being allowed to enter, he bowed and said, "Prince, the Dongfang Family has written a letter."
The Eighth Prince stood up from the chair in a hurry, reached out and shouted, "Take it up!"
The confidant dared not neglect and quickly stepped forward and handed over a letter.
He quickly opened it and watched. Gradually, the Eighth Prince's face showed a happy look that he had not seen for a long time. His pale and haggard face turned slightly red. He slapped the table and said happily, "Old Old Thief, I know you can't refuse!"
Mu Zichen, who was standing beside him, also smiled, "Did the Dongfang Family agree?"
He naturally knew the conditions his nephew proposed to the Eastern Family. In order to use the Eastern Family to quell the rebellion, his nephew made the decision and wanted the current little emperor to marry the direct woman of the Eastern Family and give him the title of queen.
