Resurrection of the Mystery: Starting from the Clone of the Stone-born Monkey.

Chapter 22
King Anyang, one of the seven kings with different surnames entrusted by Emperor Xuan.

It is said to be enfeoffed. In fact, before the establishment of the Daxuan Empire, King Anyang was already a feudal prince.

His territory was conquered by himself, his soldiers and horses were recruited by himself, and the counties and counties under his rule were all controlled by his civil servant group.

It can be said that Emperor Xuan just gave King Anyang the title of vassal king, and officially recognized his right to rule.

"Among the seven princes, King Anyang ranks second in terms of territory and size. In terms of troops and horses, before I left Kyoto, I found out that the number was [-]. He is also a martial arts master.

In terms of geographical location, Anyang Kingdom is a rich land facing the sea in the southwest, a desert in the north, bordering Liang Kingdom in the west, and located in the northwest of Daxuan.

Golden horn and silver-edged grass belly, King Anyang can be regarded as occupying a 'golden horn'.

As far as the degree of intimacy between kings with different surnames and Emperor Xuan is concerned, King Anyang should be at the bottom. After all, he used to be a prince who supported King Wu, but he jumped to Emperor Xuan's side in the middle of the war.

King Anyang was self-respecting and had a distant relationship with Emperor Xuan. It was no wonder that Emperor Xuan would be the first to attack him. "

Wang Ge's knowledge of King Anyang flashed through his mind.

Of course, Wang Ge was not too clear about the specific circumstances of the rebellion, so he could only hastily summon Sikong into the palace.

Sikong Handeng seemed to have been waiting outside the palace. After Wang Ge sent out the edict, he appeared in front of Wang Ge in less than 10 minutes.

Han Deng's appearance is very good, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, a face like a crown of jade, and a beard like a halberd, it is no exaggeration to call him a handsome man.

In fact, Han Deng came from a poor family. Compared with those court officials who came from famous families and had a network of friends and cliques, Han Deng's background made him seem unworthy of mention.

However, Han Deng is indeed a capable person, plus he was born in a poor family and has no entanglement with the court faction, and his connections are clean, so the old Yue king singled out him and promoted him to Sikong.

For such a person with no roots in the officialdom, if he wants to gain power and realize his ambitions, the only person he can rely on most is the King of Yue who is the monarch.

For this reason, Wang Ge still trusted Han Deng.

Sitting in the courtyard, without too much red tape, Han Deng got straight to the point:

"Your Highness, King Anyang's rebellion, according to Daxuan's official statement, when Emperor Xuan was suppressing the remnants of King Wu, he discovered that there were culprits who had an affair with King Anyang. When Emperor Xuan was investigating, King Anyang rebelled.

According to my officials' inquires about this matter, there are many similarities and minor differences. It is said that Emperor Xuan had long wanted to crusade against Anyang, so he used the excuse of suppressing the remnants of King Wu to mobilize troops. Seeing that the situation was not right, King Anyang raised his troops first.
Of course, this is just a rumor, and His Highness needs to make his own judgment on the matter. "

Wang Ge understood the cause and effect after hearing this.

However, he didn't care whether it was Emperor Xuan or King Anyang who made the move first. Wang Ge only cared about one thing:
"Emperor Xuan has started to attack the vassal king, this is just the beginning."

Thinking that the follow-up might bring about a series of chain reactions, Wang Ge frowned, and asked Han Deng:

"What's Sikong thinking, the Central Plains is fighting again, how should our country of Yue deal with itself?"

Han Deng also had a rough idea and quickly elaborated:

"Today, the world is set, and the common people look forward to recuperating, and if there is war, the people resent it.

As the vassal king, King Anyang did not guard the borders to calm the people, secretly collaborated with the bandits, and started rebellion again. The following committed the crime against the superior, which violated his oath and violated the righteousness.

Emperor Xuan raised troops to put down the rebellion, he was driven by great righteousness and the people's will, and he was a righteous teacher."

Wang Ge listened and nodded slightly, no matter what dirty things Xuandi and King Anyang had in private, but on the bright side, King Anyang's rebellion was not justified.

Han Deng went on to say:

"In my humble opinion, the calamity of war should be avoided and kept at a distance. I crossed the country and watched across the river, aloof from the world, and strictly abide by my duty.

The first is to denounce King Anyang's rebellious move and strengthen Emperor Xuan's reputation.

The second is to govern the country and bring peace to the people as usual, and to clear up public opinion. If there are traitors spreading rumors, both officials and civilians will be severely punished.

The third is to strictly guard the barriers in southern Xinjiang, and be alert to the barbarians who can take advantage of opportunities. "

Wang Ge heard the words, thought for a while, then nodded in satisfaction and said:
"Sikong has a good plan, so let's make an agreement with the prime minister and get things done."

"The minister obeys the order."

After being recognized, Han Deng bowed his hands and saluted, and left the palace quickly.

Then Wang Ge invited Prime Minister Zhang Yan into the palace.

These two people represent different positions, so Wang Ge interviewed them separately.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhang Yan saw Wang Ge, he began to denounce the king of Anyang for treachery, harboring evil intentions, and treason.

The intensity of the tone made Wang Ge wonder for a while, did Zhang Yan use this opportunity to warn him to beat himself?

Wang Ge shook his head secretly, pretending to be angry on the surface and said:

"Creating chaos and causing harm to the country and the people, King Anyang's heart can be punished, his deeds can be despicable, and his people can be destroyed!"

Then Wang Ge covered his chest again, showing a heartbroken and sincere look:
"Gu Wei has only one heart, and that is to hope that Emperor Xuan will put down the rebellion as soon as possible, so that the country will be restored to safety, and the sun and the moon will be dark and the light will be restored."

What Wang Ge said, even Zhang Yan, who was originally talking with a gun and a stick, was slightly taken aback.

Zhang Yan pursed his lips and softened his tone:
"What His Highness said is also what I want."

Zhang Yan carefully looked at Wang Ge's expression, and could only see from the face of the other party that he was filled with righteous indignation and resentment, as if King Anyang had done something terrible.

This made Zhang Yan feel satisfied, and then he heard Wang Ge's tone change, and sighed:
"King Anyang will be punished for his rebellion. If you spit on him alone, you will be afraid of being affected. Alas, the Prime Minister must spend more time in the past few days and work together with Sikong to prevent the Yue Kingdom from being affected by this turmoil and the people suffering from it."

Zhang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, probably thinking clearly about Wang Ge's attitude during the rebellion of King Anyang.

It is indeed law-abiding and on the side of the Daxuan Empire:
"Wei Chen accepts the order and goes to discuss the matter with Sikong immediately." Zhang Yan handed over his hand.

Wang Ge nodded, indicating that he could leave.

However, after sending Zhang Yan back to do things, Wang Ge's expression changed and he slowly let out a depressed breath:
"This disaster, I don't know how many heads Xuandi will have to cut off to stop it."

Wang Ge was slightly worried, but worry was useless.

"If you don't have strength, you have to be at the mercy of others and go with the flow."

Wang Ge clenched his fists. After seeing Sikong and the prime minister, he picked up his sword again and continued to practice martial arts.

Yan Fei was the one who was training with Wang Ge. This blood-changing warrior was the best and most trustworthy warrior Wang Ge could find.

As the saying goes, "when one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven", after Wang Ge became the queen of Yue, Yan Fei was promoted from a personal guard to a palace martial artist, enjoying the treatment of the fourth rank.

It is enough to teach Wang Ge to practice in the physical realm at Yan Fei's level. After strengthening his talent with the stone-born spirit monkey and the supply of martial arts secret food, under the influence of these three factors, Wang Ge's martial arts practice is also advancing by leaps and bounds.

Yan Fei, who was dressed in court clothes, clapped his hands and praised:
"Your Highness, I see that your muscles are plump, like ripe rice in the fields, and rich fruits in the mountains. Your arms have a strength of 670 jin. It can be seen that your highness has already achieved a small amount of muscle training, and is expected to be a good product."

The corners of Wang Ge's mouth rose slightly when he heard this. Compared to being under house arrest in Kyoto half a year ago, he is now physically stronger, supporting his clothes, and his height has increased by five centimeters, reaching a height of 1 meters.

He looked at his arms. The skin was held up by the plump and strong muscles, full of a sense of strength.
