The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 567
The child's problem was solved, and everything was calm again.Ever since Lin Gan went to school, he stopped messing around in his room. Thinking about it now, he's still not used to it.

Lin Yifan sat in the study, looking out the door.In the scorching summer, although there are ice cubes to cool off the heat, mental fatigue still hits him from time to time, making him careless about writing.

When he was thinking about the affairs of the Western Regions, he saw Niu Dali rushing over, handing over the letter with a heavy face, "My lord, urgent report from the capital."

"A letter from the capital?" Lin Yifan frowned. What did Cao Ziyan do at this time?While thinking, he opened the secret letter and read it.

"What?" Lin Yifan suddenly stood up with a look of shock on his face.

"My lord, what's the matter?" Seeing this, Niu Dali asked nervously.

Lin Yifan stared at him blankly, and said word by word: "The emperor has passed away."

"Ah?" Niu Dali was also stunned. Although the current emperor has long been a puppet of the Cao family, he is the son of heaven after all, and he is in his prime. How could he die?
Lin Yifan pondered for a moment with a serious face, and immediately ordered: "Da Dali, you immediately send someone to summon all the adults to come to discuss the matter."

"My subordinate, go here."

"Wait a minute!" Lin Yifan called to stop Niu Dali who was about to leave, "At the same time, send someone to inform Madam about the bad news."

Niu Dali nodded, and only then did he remember that the second wife is a dignified princess, the emperor's younger sister.

After Niu Dali left, Lin Yifan couldn't help rubbing his brows wearily, and whispered, "Cao Ziyan, can't you wait?"

Not long after, all the important ministers were summoned to the meeting hall in the mansion.

Lin Yifan told everyone the contents of the secret letter, which immediately caused an uproar.Everyone knew that the death of the Son of Heaven was definitely not due to a sudden illness, it must be Cao Ziyan who committed the crime of killing the king.

"Everyone, I think you all know that the Son of Heaven is really a mature man, how could he die of sudden illness for no reason?" Lin Yifan said in a deep voice, "Under this situation, what should we do?"

"My lord, Cao Ziyan killed the king. He is a great rebel. I, Hengshan, must attack him, so that I can show my righteousness and set up the banner of my Hengshan, who is doing justice for the heavens." Chen Dengke stood up first and said loudly.

Lin Yifan smiled wryly and said: "The war in the Western Regions is still ongoing, and a large number of soldiers and horses are pinned down there. In addition, the war in Donghu and Yanzhou is about to end, our soldiers and horses are in dire straits and need to recuperate urgently, and Mingzhou still needs to be fully controlled as soon as possible. At this time, we must attack Cao Ziyan , is really powerless."

"My lord, the crusade still needs to be crusaded," Ye Hongyu smiled and said, "Cao Ziyan killed the king. If we don't make a statement, won't the world be chilled? But, our army doesn't have to send troops to attack the Cao family. Put pressure on him and restrain Cao's army, and someone will attack him."

"Oh, you mean Leizhou?" Lin Yifan thought for a moment, and his eyes lit up.

"Exactly." Ye Hongyu nodded, "Old General Feng has broken with the Cao family. At this time, Cao Ziyan's slaying the king just gave him the opportunity to call on the world to crusade against the ministers. I thought that we might increase our assistance to Leizhou. Make it confident to fight Cao Jun to the end."

"Well, this plan is clever, but with Leizhou's power alone, I'm afraid it won't be able to shake Cao Jun." Lin Yifan frowned slightly, quite disappointed.

"Hehe, don't worry, my lord. Now that Cao Ziyan dares to kill the king, wouldn't he dare to proclaim himself emperor tomorrow?" Ye Hongyu sneered, "Once he proclaims himself emperor, the Central Plains will be in chaos. At that time, our army can officially crusade against the Central Plains. Calm the world."

Hearing this, Lin Yifan couldn't help but feel his blood boil. If this is true, then the troubled times will end as soon as possible.

"Hey." At this moment, Zhang Zhongliang, the staff member sitting behind Lin Yifan, suddenly let out a chuckle.

The voice was not loud, but everyone heard it, and couldn't help but look at him together.

Ye Hongyu looked at him with a gloomy face and said, "Mr. Zhang, did Ye say something wrong?"

"No, no, what Master Ye said just now is very good, I admire you very much." Zhang Zhongliang quickly stood up and said apologetically.

Ye Hongyu was not fooled by his words, and still persisted in asking: "Why is Mr. Zhang laughing?"

"Yes, sir, during the meeting, everyone can speak freely." Lin Yifan also said curiously, "If you have any good ideas, please feel free to give them your advice."

"My lord is too serious, I dare not give advice." Zhang Zhongliang quickly stood up, bowed and said, "The only reason I am laughing is because I think Cao Ziyan is about to do something stupid, so I feel amused."

"Oh, what stupid thing would Cao Ziyan do to make you laugh so much?" Lin Yifan asked quickly, and everyone looked at him impatiently.Only Ye Hongyu seemed to have thought of a possibility, and his face immediately turned pale.

"I'm wondering if Cao Ziyan will collude with the Donghu people." Zhang Zhongliang said with a smile, "If he colludes with the Donghu people, then we can use this to suppress his reputation. The people of Yanzhou were slaughtered by the Hu people twice. How should you feel about this matter?"

"The Cao family formed an alliance with Donghu?" Everyone's faces suddenly became heavy. If Cao Ziyan really formed an alliance with Donghu, then they would form a siege in the northeast.When Hengshan attacks one side, the other side will send troops to contain it.Conversely, if one of the parties attacks Hengshan, the other party will attack at the same time.These are not critical. With Hengshan's current strength, he can still protect himself.But after Zhang Zhongliang's reminder, everyone immediately realized that if Cao Ziyan formed an alliance with Tianyun again, Hengshan would be encircled by three parties. How could Hengshan be able to withstand the attack from three sides?
"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Ye sees that you have a plan in mind. Could it be that you have made a plan?" Ye Hongyu's attitude suddenly became quite respectful. "Now the situation is changing and it is not good for me in Hengshan. I hope you will give me your advice."

"Master Ye must not be like this. Zhang doesn't dare to take it as a word of advice." Zhang Zhongliang said quickly, "The reason why I am not afraid is that I am quite confident in Hengshan's strength. Even if it is attacked from three sides, Hengshan can still stand on the ground invincible position."

"Oh?" Lin Yifan raised his brows, he himself was not that confident, yet Mr. Zhang said it so arrogantly? "Tell me, sir."

"My lords, everyone, now the Central Plains is a situation where two powers stand side by side, and Donghu and Tianyun are added, and it is a four-power battle." Zhang Zhongliang said in a deep voice, "Now Cao Ziyan's heart to call himself emperor is clearly revealed. Once If he proclaims himself emperor, there will be some turmoil in the Central Plains. If our army takes advantage of the civil strife to quickly attack Donghu in the north and severely injure or destroy the country, then there will be no hidden worries in the northern border, and we can go south with all our strength to fight for Yanzhou. Yanzhou is established. The northern border is all mine. But if you go east and go south, you can go to the middle and green states. As for the gold merchants, they only need to rest for a few years before they can go south and unify the Central Plains. And Tianyun Kingdom, although there is a fertile land , but there are many passes on all sides, and it is so difficult to expand. As long as our army sticks to the southern pass, it can stop its northward trend. What's more, Hengshan and Eternal have a good relationship, and the two countries have old feuds, so we can use this If Tianyun is restrained, the country will definitely not be able to go northward with all its strength, so there is no worry here."

"Mr. Zhang's words made me suddenly enlightened. I respect you." Ye Hongyu nodded slightly, turned to look at Lin Yifan, and said earnestly: "Mr. Zhang just said the strategic strategy, I beg you to adopt it, and think of me as Hengshan's decision to unify the Central Plains."

"Master Ye is saying that I, Hengshan, can unify the Central Plains according to my master's words?" Lin Yifan's eyes burst into a hot look, the unification of the Central Plains will bring peace to the world, why doesn't he want to?
"Yes, I think this is my future plan for Hengshan. As long as I move in this direction step by step, I will be able to accomplish great things." Ye Hongyu nodded firmly.

"What do you all think?" Lin Yifan looked at the crowd, asking for their opinions.

"Seniors and others." Everyone was quite convinced of Ye Hongyu's strategy. Seeing that he was so sure of Zhang Zhongliang's strategy, there was no big problem.

"Okay, then that's the end of the matter." Lin Yifan said happily, "Mr. Zhang, you have made such great contributions to me in Hengshan, and you must be rewarded. I hope to appoint you as secretary to assist me in handling government affairs. You Would you like to?"

Zhang Zhongliang sighed slightly, now that Hengshan has the strength to aspire to the world, and his lifelong wish must also be entrusted to Hengshan. It would be a pity if he did not take this opportunity to show what he has learned and help the Ming Lord to pacify the world .

So, he solemnly bowed to Lin Yifan: "Minister Zhang Zhongliang accepts the order, thank you Lord Guogong for your gift."
