The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 568
Just when Lin Yifan was very excited about subduing Zhang Zhongliang under his command, Guo Huaili stood up slowly and said loudly: "My lord, I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not."

Everyone was immediately attracted by Guo Huaili's words, and they all looked at him, not knowing what he was going to say, but he was so cautious.

Lin Yifan also looked at him puzzled, "Master Guo, you can speak freely during the meeting, why should you be afraid?"

"This, what I want to say is a big matter, so we have to be cautious." Guo Huaili hesitated for a moment, and said slowly.

"Haha, today's discussion is a big one, why can't we talk about it?" Lin Yifan shook his head and laughed.

Guo Huaili took a deep breath, and said in a concentrated voice: "My lord, everyone, everyone knows Cao Ziyan's desire to usurp the throne. Once he usurps the throne and proclaims himself emperor, the Tianwu Empire will come to an end. At that time, the Central Plains will be the world of the Cao family. Let me ask, I How will you handle yourself until then?"

When everyone heard the words, they couldn't help but frown slightly, and there was some understanding in their hearts.Ye Hongyu and Zhang Zhongliang looked at each other with a smile on their lips.Although Lin Yifan's expression remained unchanged, the warmth in his eyes had already expressed his intentions.

Guo Huaili glanced at Lin Yifan slightly, and continued, "As the saying goes, if the name is not correct, the words will not go well. If Cao Ziyan is allowed to ascend the throne and proclaim the emperor, and slowly win people's hearts, he will have his righteous name. But I, Hengshan, are just It’s just a hero who separates one side. Therefore, I think that it’s time for my lord to go further. As long as Cao Ziyan becomes emperor, my lord should also be called emperor at the same time, so as to win the hearts of the people in the world.”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone immediately went into a commotion. If your lord wants to be called emperor, then, wouldn't you and others be the heroes of the founding of the country?For a moment, everyone looked at Lin Yifan eagerly, eagerly waiting for his words.

Lin Yifan looked at everyone's earnest eyes, and smiled faintly, "What do you look at me for, I am a loyal minister, how can I do such a treasonous thing?"

"My lord, if Emperor Tianwu is still alive, we will naturally be ministers." Guo Huaili chuckled, "However, Cao Ziyan is no matter what, he can call himself emperor. Your lord is wise and mighty, so why can't you do it? What's more, your lord is As a princess consort, in terms of orthodoxy, in terms of closeness, naturally an adult is the most suitable."

"That's right, my lord proclaimed himself emperor only after Tianwu was destroyed, and he has done his best." Chen Dengke stood up and said, "If Cao Ziyan is allowed to proclaim himself emperor, and Hengshan is still in my current position, how can I Subjugating to others? At that time, how will the people of the world feel? Are they ministers or thieves?"

When everyone heard the words, they all nodded in agreement.Now that Hengshan has the power to aspire to the top of the world, there is no need to worry about anything.

Lin Yifan stopped everyone's discussion, and said in a deep voice: "It's too early to talk about this matter. What you have to do now is to strengthen Huazhou and Mingzhou. Only when our strength reaches a higher level can we defeat all enemies. Otherwise, all It's all vain."

"Minister, please remember." Only then did everyone calm down, and immediately bowed and shouted.

After the next discussion, it was unanimously decided to declare war on the Cao family and station troops in Tianjingguan and Jiangbei County of Mingzhou.At the same time, he wanted to create public opinion, expose Cao Ziyan's ambition to usurp the throne, and stir up the hostility of heaven and man against him.Then secretly support the lurking rebel forces in various parts of the Central Plains, waiting for the time of the uprising.In the end, they sent people to Leizhou to form an alliance with Leizhou and increase their support, so as to shake the foundation of the Cao family and force them to deal with the pressure of the Leizhou army with all their strength.

After the meeting ended, Lin Yifan came to the inner courtyard to visit the heartbroken Yunyang.

At this moment, Yunyang was lying on the bed sobbing, no matter how Qing'er and the maid Yunxiang tried to comfort him, it was of no avail.

Lin Yifan walked to the bed and motioned for everyone to leave first.After Qing'er understood, she took Yun Xiang and retreated.

"Yunyang, let's be sad." Lin Yifan patted her on the back lightly and said softly.

When Yunyang heard this, he immediately turned around and looked at him with red eyes, "Husband, my brother, was he killed by Cao Ziyan?"

Lin Yifan couldn't help being silent, and after a long time, he finally replied: "I'm sending people to investigate this matter, I believe everything will come to light soon, don't worry."

"How can I rest assured?" Yunyang struggled to sit up, looking at her husband with great anticipation, "Husband, now that my brother is gone, only the wife of the emperor and Xi'er are left in the palace." Orphans and widows. I beg you, find a way to rescue them, can you?"

Lin Yifan looked at Yunyang in embarrassment, "I know you are worried about them, but this matter is not that simple. Now they have become the bargaining chip of Cao Ziyan's next plan. They must be heavily guarded, and our people have no way to attack."

"Then, then call and rescue them." Yunyang said hesitantly.

"Yunyang, I know what you mean, but I can't promise you." Lin Yifan looked at him seriously, "Now is not the time to start a war with Cao Jun, I can't risk the lives of the soldiers. What's more, even if Even if we send troops, it may not be able to save them, but it will be easier for Cao Ziyan to kill them."

"Then, what should we do then? They fell into Cao Ziyan's hands, and I'm really afraid that something will happen to me." Yunyang grabbed Lin Yifan's hand tightly and cried.

"Yunyang, don't worry, they will be safe and well." Lin Yifan put his arms around her body and comforted her, "The reason why Cao Ziyan killed the king was to prepare for becoming emperor in the future. Before that, He must appoint another emperor as a puppet, and when the time is right, he will force the emperor to abdicate. Only in this way can the subjects of the world be convinced. If my prediction is correct, your nephew will definitely be established as the new emperor by Cao Ziyan. During this period, They are safe. How about we try to rescue them when the time comes?"

"Everything is up to my husband." Yunyang had no choice but to nod.

Within a few days, information came from the capital one after another, and Lin Yifan finally got a general idea of ​​the truth.

It turned out that Cao Ziyan didn't want to kill the king, but he just hoped that the emperor would agree to his request and move the capital to the fiefdom of Weiguo to avoid the edge of Hengshan.Unexpectedly, Gao Yu, who had been holding back all this time, rejected Cao Ziyan's request in public.It is bluntly said that the capital of a country is the confidant of a country, how can it be easily moved.What's more, the tombs of the first emperors of the past dynasties are here, and it is impossible to leave them lightly.

Cao Ziyan was furious when he heard the words, and immediately led his ministers to remonstrate again and again, striving to move the capital.However, the emperor still refused, even at the cost of death.

This party forced him to return without success, Cao Ziyan was full of anger.The next day, Cao Ziyan mentioned the matter of moving the capital again, but the emperor didn't listen, so he retreated directly.Such repeated refusals finally made him angry.

Now that the emperor is disobedient, it is useless to keep it.Cao Ziyan immediately ordered the internal response in the palace to poison and kill the emperor.After Gao Yu's death, Cao Ziyan ordered people to search the whole city, and arrested and imprisoned all the loyal veterans of the royal family, including their families, so as not to make trouble secretly after the incident happened.Among them, there are more than a dozen members of Tang Tianhao's family, old and young, who are protectors of the country, except for Tang Rong.

The next day, after extorting confessions last night, these people were quickly convicted of treason and regicide, and they were all taken to the execution ground, the Yi tribe.At the same time, it was announced to the world that the emperor was killed by a traitor and had died.After discussion among the ministers, the crown prince Gao Xi was established as the emperor, and he ascended the throne as the emperor immediately.

After the new emperor came to the throne, he followed Cao Ziyan's intention and ordered to move the capital, and moved south to the capital of Shangzhou, which was originally the capital of Shangzhou, and renamed it Xingwu City, which was Xingdu.
