Chapter 223 Your Highness!I expose!

Inside Beiting Governor's Mansion, Jianning King Li Yan took Cao Lingzhong's hand and said, "Cao Duhu, the lonely king will hand over this Tingzhou to you."

Cao Lingzhong looked at Li Yan gratefully. He thought that King Jianning would definitely take this opportunity to revoke his official position and use his own people to control Beiting Protectorate.

Unexpectedly, King Jianning greeted him personally outside the city. After entering Tingzhou, King Jianning seriously asked Cao Lingzhong, the generals and officials of Beiting Governor's Mansion about their morals and talents.

King Jianning immediately followed Cao Lingzhong's suggestion and retained all talented generals and officials, assessed those who had no real talents and knowledge, and dismissed all those who failed.

Although the imperial court's appointment did not come down, King Jianning still worshiped Cao Lingzhong as the Beiting Metropolitan Protector, in charge of the military administration of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate.

Cao Lingzhong was also a smart man, and he fully accepted King Jianning's request to establish a staff department. At the same time, he also handed over the civil affairs of Tingzhou to the officials sent by King Jianning.

Li Yan pulled Cao Lingzhong, making a show of farewell to the officials, and the subordinates present also showed "touched" expressions. In short, under Li Yan's low profile, the Jianning King's Bafu controlled the Northern Court. The government process went very smoothly.

After dealing with the matter of Beiting Dufu Mansion, King Jianning finally went south to Gaochang City.

In Gaochang City, Dong Zhong sat in the secret room of Dong Hou's Mansion, where the eight old nobles' patriarchs of Gaochang City sat.

Although it was a decapitation business, the several Patriarchs discussed it very enthusiastically. Dong Zhonggao was in the top position, and his heart was full of pride.

All these are suggestions from the housekeeper Dong Yuan. Dong Yuan asked Dong Zhong a very sharp question, "After the successful assassination of King Jianning, what should Gaochang City do?"

Dong Hou was also stunned. Originally, he assassinated King Jianning because he wanted to vote for the crown prince, so that his son could have a place in the prince's shogunate.

He never thought about what he would do after killing King Jianning.

Dong Zhong was unable to answer the question from Director Dong.

At this time, Director Dong took out a set of rhetoric that Shu Saburo had instilled in him:

"Master Hou, you are a noble relative of the old Gaochang country, don't you think about rebuilding Gaochang country?"

After saying these words, Dong Zhong's breathing became short of breath.

Rebuild Gaochang State?
The lineage of Ju Shi, the lord of Gaochang Kingdom, was moved to Xijing by Emperor Taizong after the destruction of Gaochang Kingdom, and now this lineage has disappeared in the Tang Dynasty.

Among the old aristocrats of Gaochang Kingdom, the Dong family has always been an auxiliary government family that intermarried with the king, and their status is also the most noble.

This is why Dong Hou is the leader among the old nobles in Gaochang.

If Gaochang restores the country, can he become the king of the country?
Thinking about it this way, Dong Zhong's long-silent ambition finally swelled up, yes, why not rebuild Gaochang Kingdom?

Being the lord of Gaochang is better than being a noble in name only in Gaochang City, right?

Instigated by the steward Dong Yuan, what was originally a plan to assassinate King Jianning turned into a plan to link up with other old nobles in Gaochang City and rebuild Gaochang Kingdom.

And today's secret meeting is to rebuild the Gaochang Kingdom. The other eight old nobles from Gaochang City who came to the meeting today are all big families with deep roots in Gaochang City.

There are slave soldiers in these big families, and there are many old and old disciples in Gaochang City. When they heard that Gaochang Kingdom was going to be rebuilt, they all ignited a flame called ambition, and they all switched to Dong Zhong's command.

Dong Zhong was very proud. Everyone had finished their discussions. As long as King Jianning died, they would immediately take action to quickly control Xizhou Governor's Mansion and Gaochang City.

Next, the banner of Gaochang's restoration of the country was played, and Longyou was quickly separated.

In the hearts of these old aristocrats, it seems that as long as the flag of the old Gaochang country is held high, the Gaochang country can be rebuilt immediately, and the people of Xizhou can gather to respond.

Even Yang Bin, the inner guard player who made the plan to lure snakes out of the cave, did not expect that these old nobles in Gaochang City would be so stupid that they really wanted to carry out the Gaochang Restoration Movement.

You must know that Gaochang Kingdom has been destroyed for more than 100 years, and Gaochang has been the Western State of the Tang Dynasty for more than 50 years. These old nobles are not only stupid, but they want to rebuild Gaochang Kingdom with this little slave soldier in their hands?

Not to mention this assassination plan full of loopholes, even if King Jianning is really dead, do they think that the Tang army in Tingzhou in the north is just for nothing?

This kind of political and military naivety made Yang Bin lament that the IQ of these old nobles is really low
Since the other party was sent to death, it would be too polite not to catch them all!
Yang Bin has been appointed as the leader of the [Inner Guard] in Xizhou. He sent a task to all the inner guard players in Xizhou to collect evidence of the rebellion of these old nobles in Gaochang.

While collecting evidence, Yang Bin is also speeding up the collection of evidence of the Dong family's rebellion.

Under Yang Bin's strong request, Director Dong reluctantly agreed that Dong Hou would meet Yang Bin in person the day before the plan was implemented.

King Jianning will enter Gaochang city tomorrow, and the assassination plan will be carried out tomorrow morning, so today Dong Yuan brought Yang Bin to Dong Hou's mansion.

Donghou Mansion, Donghou Mansion is brightly lit tonight, and even the corridors are hung with the latest oil lamps.

Walking in Donghou's mansion, Yang Bin had the feeling that Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden. He finally knew what it means to be rich and powerful.

Huge mansion, with labyrinth-like corridors, Donghou's Mansion is even bigger than the Governor's Mansion in Gaochang City.

In addition to being large, the decoration of Dong Hou Mansion is also very luxurious.

The window paper has been replaced with the most popular glass in Gaochang City. This new material, which can keep out dust and mosquitoes, and also allow lighting, is not cheap in Gaochang City. Currently, only players' workshops can make it.

In addition to the glass windows, a mosaic statue of stained glass is being built in the garden of the Dong Hou Mansion.

It has to be said that Dong Hou's artistic attainments are still good. After the glass workshop in Gaochang City fired stained glass, they only made a sculpture of colored mosaic glass and placed it at the entrance of the workshop as a signboard.

Dong Hou was able to appreciate the trendy art of stained glass sculptures, and spent a lot of money to build the same sculptures in his garden.

Yang Bin thought to himself: "I guess those merchants and players are the ones who don't want Dong Hou to fall the most. In the future, there will not be many people like Gaochangcheng who take advantage of them."

Yang Bin finally came to Dong Hou's study under the leadership of Dong Yuan, and met this Dong Hou.

Dong Zhong has been well-clothed and well-fed for a long time, and his appearance and temperament are not vulgar.

He has a slender figure, fair skin, and slightly yellow beard and hair, which shows his alien blood, but this is also normal in Longyou where Hu and Han live together.

Yang Bin paid homage to Dong Hou and said, "Xiaomin has met Dong Hou and the future Lord of Gaochang!"

This flattery hit Dong Zhong's heart deeply. He originally looked down on Yang Bin, a low-ranking person, but after seeing Fu Lefang's words, the clothes are clean and tidy, and his appearance is also extraordinary. .

However, it is impossible for a Hou Ye like Dong Zhong, who is well-clothed and well-fed, to really act like a virtuous corporal. Director Dong greeted Yang Bin to sit down, but his heart was extremely nervous.

If I am filling my own pockets and earning the difference in the middleman of the assassination plan, if I accidentally match the number, then I will be in trouble.

That's why the housekeeper, Director, has always been very nervous. Whenever the two sides talk about the remuneration, he will immediately interrupt.

Fortunately, the two sides just exchanged simple greetings, and did not continue to talk about the remuneration. Dong Zhong just explained that he must be cautious in tomorrow's assassination plan, and if the assassination fails, Donghou's mansion cannot be confessed, so he sent Yang Bin to leave.

The only thing that made Dong Zhong a little displeased was that Yang Bin asked him to sign a handwritten letter, promising that after the matter was completed, he would give preferential treatment to the gang members of Fulefang.

Although Dong Zhong was dissatisfied with Yang Bin's unreasonable demands, seeing Yang Bin's unreasonable appearance made him feel more at ease with Yang Bin.

Dong Zhong encouraged Yang Bin, said something like "Your subordinate, I will support him", and sent Yang Bin away.

However, Yang Bin is already satisfied. The evidence of Dong Hou's mansion instructing him to assassinate King Jianning has been recorded, and Dong Zhong's handwriting has been obtained, so the "assassination" plan can be launched.

In the early morning of the next day, Dong Zhong spent the night drunk and dreaming at the mansion, feasting all night until dawn, and almost missed the time to pick up King Jianning.

The old nobles of Gaochang City just asked the stewards to gather slave soldiers as soon as possible. Once King Jianning was assassinated and died, they immediately played the slogan of Gaochang Restoration and attacked the Governor's Mansion.

Most of the plans for this child's play coup were suggested by Yang Bin.

Shu Saburo, the second master of Fulefang, holds a feather fan every day, dresses up as Zhuge Liang in the most popular "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in Gaochang City, personally directs hundreds of gang members in Fulefang, and also lurks in Fulefang. Prepare to attack the governor's mansion together with the old Gaochang clan.

At three poles in the sun, King Jianning's frame appeared on the horizon.

Dong Zhong, who was hungover yesterday, nervously watched two riders in bright armor appear in front of him. The riders held up banners, followed by two riders, who held up the battle of King Jianning.

King Jianning is the county king who founded the government and established teeth, and the double banners and festivals bestowed by the emperor are symbols of King Jianning's power.

Since Cui Tao took over Xizhou, Li Xiuzhang, the governor of Xizhou who has been worshiping Buddha at home, stood at the front of the team.

Standing alongside Li Xiuzhang is Cui Tao, the overlord who actually controls the government affairs of Xizhou, and behind them are the officials of the various governors of the Governor's Mansion.

Dong Zhong and the old nobles in Gaochang City stood at the back of the line.

At this time, Dong Zhong's mood also became tense, and Yang Bin lay in ambush under the mound in front of him, and would jump out to assassinate King Jianning's carriage as soon as he passed by.

It's getting close!Dong Zhong's heart hung in his throat, only to see a man in black rush out from the mound, and then kneel in front of King Jianning's carriage.

"Young man Yang Bin, report the assassination of His Royal Highness by Dong Houmai in Gaochang City!"
