Xue Huai'an was also puzzled and said: "Your Highness is absolutely right. As far as I know, the Tianmen Daoists are deeply bewitched by evil ways, and the rioters who join the Tianmen Dao have all kinds of religions, but they all worship Tiangong very much. Everyone who hears the order of the Lord of Heaven will obey it."

Shen Keqiu said: "Master Xue's words are not bad. Although the Tianmen Dao is a group of mobs who fight on their own, they have great faith in Tiangong. If it is not because of Tiangong, it is impossible for hundreds of thousands of Tianmen Daoists to unite Together, they were cohesive at the beginning, in the final analysis, it was because of this God."

"So if Tiangong really wants to restrain these lawless mobs, as long as he sets military regulations, even if he can't restrain everyone, most of the Tianmen Daoists should not disobey." Xue Huai'an slightly frowned: "But the Tianmen Taoists What he did, obviously, the Lord of Heaven did not set the military rules."

Shen Keqiu looked at the prince, and said with some doubts: "Since that demon god can confuse millions of rioters, he is by no means an ordinary person. But what he is doing now is really real. It's a bit incomprehensible... He wants to use the rebels to become a king, or even... He has to lay the foundation step by step, and even buy people's hearts. Now the Tianmen Taoists under him kill people when they see them, and they kill people when they come into town. Burning, what they do is not beneficial to animals, it seems that those Tianmen Daoists want to be enemies of the world, whether they are officials, gentry or poor people, they do not distinguish between high and low... In this way, if Tianmen Dao wants to gain a foothold, it can Rely on who?"

An official next to him couldn't help but said, "Could it be that Tian Gong is a lunatic?"

"Madman?" The corners of the prince's eyes twitched slightly.

"Your Highness, if you weren't a lunatic, you would never have acted aimlessly like this. The Taoists of Tianmen now only know how to burn, kill and loot, which is unpopular." The official said: "It seems that Tiangong wants the Taoists of Tianmen to kill as much as they want. Without the slightest foresight.”

Xue Huai'an said: "It is for this reason that I am also surprised. Since Tian Gong is not an ordinary person, and he has hundreds of thousands of mercenaries, he will not even have military regulations. If he can strictly restrain himself and not kill innocent people indiscriminately , and even Anmin's pension, it may not be impossible to gain a foothold in the southeast, but with the current situation, Tianmen Dao is tantamount to seeking a dead end. They kill indiscriminately, no matter whether they are wealthy gentry or ordinary people, they will never walk with them again... ...!"

"That's true." Another official sneered and said, "When the Tianmen Daoists entered the capital, many mobs who had caused chaos in the capital before even fought with them...!"

"Those refugees all took refuge in the southeast and near Gyeonggi. Because of Tianmen Dao, they left their homes, and naturally hated Tianmen Dao." Xue Huai'an said: "It is said that there are tens of thousands of mobs in the capital, but the Daoist Daoist was only a few thousand pioneers that day. Troops, if there is going to be a fight, how can Tianmen Dao be an opponent?"

"Although the people in the vicinity of the capital escaped from the southeast, most of them fled with their families before the Tianmen Dao came over. In the capital, there are not many people who were directly poisoned by the Tianmen Dao." Shen Keqiu said: " We came from mobs, burned, killed, looted in Beijing, and worked together. When we left Beijing, there were no major conflicts, but after a long time, we will inevitably bite each other, and the team behind Tianmen Road is also gathering for the capital, with a large number of people Now, at that time, we will have to go to war.”

The prince finally said: "Tianmen Daozhi only knows how to burn, kill and loot. Although he has conquered a lot of land, he has nothing to do with production. He is completely a bunch of brainless bandits. These locusts have devoured the inventory. When the food is exhausted, I will take a look." What can they do."

"China has been robbed, the world has fallen, and the south is now a piece of scorched earth, with corpses everywhere. There is no way out for the heavens, and it is difficult for the people to produce. When the food is cut off, there will be a severe famine." Xue Huai'an frowned: "Your Highness, really want At that time, although many people in Tianmen Dao will starve to death, countless Limin people will also die due to food shortages, and the plague will also be rampant...!" Long sighed: "Even if His Highness regains the southeast at that time, it will not It must be devastated and horrible."

"The veteran said before that Tianmen Dao still has some strength at present, but in the long run, it will definitely become weaker and weaker." Shen Keqiu said: "So I think that as long as His Highness sits in the north and sends troops to the south in time, it must be a battle. Gain all the lost land. Before going south, the north must be under the control of the imperial court, so that His Highness can go south without any worries...!"

The prince understood, and said: "So you think this palace should announce the death of the emperor father to the world. If someone dares to jump out, they can use the current opportunity to destroy them?"

"That's exactly what the old minister meant." Shen Keqiu said: "The Hexi army is all soldiers who can recruit and fight well. If there are jumping clowns who don't know how to jump out, His Highness can kill them with thunder."

The prince smiled lightly and said: "The one who should betray has already betrayed!"

Shen Keqiu was startled, and asked, "What does Your Highness mean?"

"Chu Huan has already rebelled." The prince said: "Chi Liandian may also be ready to move, but there is no evidence of direct rebellion for the time being."

Shen Keqiu sneered and said, "Chu Huan was born in a commoner, and he got what he is today through King Qi. At the beginning, the old minister felt that this man was not upright. He was sitting in the northwest, his wings were hardened, and he really rebelled against the court."

"The Northwest is barren. Although the people in the Northwest are brave and ruthless, the logistics cannot support them to fight for a long time." An official said with a sneer: "The Xigu Pass is blocked and they are trapped outside the pass. It won't be long before there will be civil strife in the Northwest." ...!" After a pause, he said: "On the contrary, it is Liaodong Chilian Dian, Your Highness has to guard against it!"

Shen Keqiu also nodded and said: "Chi Liandian has the strongest cavalry corps in Daqin under his command, and there is sufficient food and fodder. If he rebels, with the current strength of the court, it will be difficult to deal with him!" Without waiting for others to speak, he immediately said: " However, the most urgent thing is that His Highness should announce the news of His Majesty's death as soon as possible, and then immediately ascend the throne, the new king ascends the throne, and the announcement to the world and the peace of the people may not be an encouragement to the hearts of the people."

Several other ministers said one after another: "Master Shen's words are very true, His Highness should ascend to the throne early, only in this way can the universe be settled!"

The crown prince looked calm and thoughtful, Shen Keqiu continued: "After your highness ascends the throne, you can justifiably order the world. What is Chi Liandian's mind, your highness only needs to call an order to know!"

"Oh?"

"The veteran learned that although the Liaodong Army is suppressing King Qingtian of Hebei, the main force of the Liaodong cavalry has not been dispatched from Liaodong." Shen Keqiu said: "Your Highness only needs to send an order to Chi Liandian to call out the main force of the Liaodong cavalry. Attacking Hebei with all our strength, if Chi Liandian obeys the order, with the strength of the Liaodong Army, it will not be difficult to suppress the Qingtian King. strength."

Xue Huai'an frowned and said, "What if Chi Liandian doesn't obey the order?"

"That proves that Chi Liandian must have rebellious intentions." Shen Keqiu said solemnly.

Xue Huai'an said solemnly: "However, Chi Liandian's rebellion has been revealed, how will the imperial court respond? Although there are a lot of troops in Hexi, they are still far behind when compared with the Liaodong Army."

Shen Keqiu hesitated for a moment, but stopped talking.

The prince observed the words and expressions, and naturally saw the clues, and said: "Lord Shen, what do you have to say, but it's okay to say it, even if it's bad for the country, I won't blame it."

Shen Keqiu said with a stern expression: "Your Highness, if Chi Liandian is loyal to the imperial court, it is naturally a blessing to the imperial court, but if he really wants to rebel, as Master Xue said, he is really the biggest threat to the imperial court, far more powerful than Tianmen Dao and Qingtian King." Even the threat of Chu Huan and his like is much greater, and the court can only do its best and use all means to pacify Liaodong."

The prince pondered for a while, and finally sighed softly: "The reason why my father arranged Chiliandian in Liaodong was to let him guard the border, but I didn't expect that today it would become a serious problem for the court. If Chiliandian is loyal to the court Geng Geng, the Liaodong army is used by the imperial court, and my palace holds the Hexi and Liaodong soldiers and horses, so it is really not difficult to put down the rebellion." After a pause, he said: "You are all ministers of the imperial court, and this palace treats you as well. Let me tell you bluntly, with the strength of the Hexi army, it is difficult to resist the Liaodong army, let alone put down the Liaodong army."

Many courtiers showed dejection.

Back then, the Great Qin Empire had hundreds of thousands of powerful troops, invincible. Whether it was the Northwest Army or the Liaodong Army, they were all able to conquer and fight well. In the capital, there were even an elite twelve guards stationed in the capital. The four famous generals were also unique Qingtian General, but in just a few years, the Tianmen Dao Rebellion in the southeast and the Qingtian King Rebellion in Hebei exhausted the imperial court's twelve guards. The two strongest frontier armies, the Northwest Army and the Liaodong Army, have also become the court's confidantes.

Shen Keqiu hesitated for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, and finally said: "Your Highness, the veteran thinks that it is really difficult to deal with the Liaodong Army with the strength of Hexi alone, but... there is another army, which can be regarded as a surprise soldier, and may not be able to help the prince. Stabilize the situation."

"Another army?" Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

In today's world, apart from the Hexi Army, the Northwest Army is known to be able to compete with the Liaodong Army. Since the prince said that Chu Huan in the Northwest had rebelled, where did he get another army that could fight the Liaodong Army?

The crown prince stared at Shen Keqiu, he didn't seem to understand, and asked, "Which army is Mr. Shen talking about?"

"Korea!" Shen Keqiu finally said: "Your Highness, if you really want to deal with Liaodong Chiliandian today, why don't you use the people of Korea?"

When everyone heard the words, their expressions suddenly changed.

An official couldn't help but said: "Master Shen's words are wrong. I have Daqin's affairs to be resolved by Daqin. How can I seek help from a small country in Koryo? Moreover, the Koryo people are double-faced and dishonest. How can I trust them?" ?”

Several officials nodded slightly, apparently disapproving of Shen Keqiu's words.
