Choose three out of ten at the beginning, summon ten gods to dominate the other world

The court officials also had some speculations about the rebellion in Zongzhou. Although there was no actual evidence that it was done by King Wen Xiao Chenghao, he was the only one who could make such a big fuss in Zongzhou.

Considering the changes in Mangshan, the ministers were almost certain that the secret of Mangshan must have a great connection with King Wen.

Long Tian just discovered King Wen's secret by accident, which made King Wen rush to Mangshan to try to stop Long Tian.

Now the rebels announced their surrender, but they did not surrender to Long Tian, ​​the prince sent by the court to suppress the rebellion. Instead, they surrendered to King Wen who was watching the fun. There must be something fishy about this.

In addition to the lack of evidence, everyone has basically seen the general truth.

Therefore, asking King Wen about the situation in Mangshan would be a waste of effort.

"Your Majesty, there are only a few secrets in Mangshan, such as various precious mineral deposits, or the base of an ambitious person, hiding soldiers, hiding money, nothing more than these few situations."

"Considering the abnormality of the rebellion in Zongzhou, this matter is probably inseparable from King Wen. It is better for Your Majesty to directly order King Wen to return to Beijing to report on his work, and we will slowly examine it."

Prime Minister Yan Tianyu expressed his thoughts and pointed out his suspicion of King Wen.

If King Wen returns to Beijing to report on his work, the court can take the initiative and keep King Wen before finding out the truth.

If King Wen does not come back, then the matter will be serious. It can be basically confirmed that the rebellion in Zongzhou was caused by King Wen. He dare not come back, and even King Wen will take risks.

At this time, Long Tian is still in Mangshan. Even if King Wen wants to rebel, Long Tian will deal with him, and the impact on the court will not be great.

After they are both defeated, it is not impossible for the court army to clean up the mess.

However, King Wen is fundamentally different from the feudal lords. King Wen works for the court and does not have his own fiefdom. King Wen has no reason to refuse the imperial order.

If it is a feudal lord like the Northern King, the imperial order will not be so useful.

Long Tian, ​​the prince, has independent autonomy to a large extent, and it is difficult for the court to control him.

Therefore, Yan Tianyu proposed to solve the problem from the perspective of King Wen.

As for what the secret of Mangshan is, it is not so important to the court. It is not that they don’t care, but that they are out of reach.

When the court’s army arrives, the benefits will be gone. They can only find out the reasons and find a solution in the future.

Yan Tianyu’s idea is the best solution for the time being. They are all out-of-control lords, and the court is powerless in many things.

"Where is the Xingzhou army now?"

The old emperor asked. The matter of Zongzhou must be resolved and must be controlled by the court. Therefore, it is imperative for the army to go there.

"Your Majesty, the army is now at the border of Qingzhou. King Yun has closed Yunzhou, and our imperial army cannot enter."

"At this moment, the Zhenbei Army in the northern border has also closed the northern border, and our army is negotiating with the other side."

Negotiation, the old emperor couldn't suppress his anger when he heard the word. In his own country, the imperial army, which was ordered to suppress the rebellion, passed through a state and had to negotiate. This was a great humiliation.

The old emperor was angry but helpless. This was all his own mistake. He also gave so many princes rights. Passing through other people's fiefdoms must be approved by others, even he, the emperor, can't do it. It's useless to regret it now.

"Send someone to negotiate with Long Tian as soon as possible, and the army must rush to Zongzhou as soon as possible."

The old emperor sighed helplessly and said.

There is no way. We can't fight with the northern border at this time. I believe many people are willing to see this scene.

The old emperor was very worried, but the matter of reducing the vassal state could not be rushed, and it had to be done step by step.

On that day, the imperial envoy left the capital, and his destination was Mangshan.

In Mangshan, Long Tian was not idle either. The army was mining black iron ore intensively. In order to be busy mining, Long Tian was not in a hurry to take over the city occupied by the rebels.

On this day, Long Tian walked down Mangshan under the protection of a group of masters. King Wen Xiao Chenghao came and asked to see Long Tian.

Xiao Chenghao had no choice. Now that he had lost his troops, he could no longer attack Mangshan. He could only meet Long Tian and hope that Long Tian would hand over Mangshan through negotiations.

At the foot of Mangshan, the two sides met in a temporary tent.

"The boy Long Tian meets His Royal Highness King Wen. His Royal Highness King Wen has guarded the border and has made great contributions. It is a blessing to meet him today."

As a junior, Long Tian greeted him politely, and people could not find any fault with him.

"Prince Long Tian is too polite. He fought brilliantly in the battle to quell the rebellion. He is really young and capable. I heard that His Majesty has made a promise that when the prince returns to the northern border, he will be on equal footing with me."

Xiao Chenghao is in his 40s, in the prime of his life, no wonder he is ambitious.

He has been guarding the border for many years and fighting against the alliance of various countries all year round. He is not only a strategist, but also a master of cultivation. He is considered a figure in the royal Xiao family.

There are also many fierce generals in the Jingbian Army under his command, and the overall strength is not weak. If it weren't for the lucky boy Long Tian who has a system, Xiao Chenghao might not be able to achieve something.

"This prince didn't expect that His Majesty would entrust such an important matter to me, so I can only bite the bullet. Fortunately, thanks to His Majesty, the rebellion was quelled smoothly. After dealing with the last rebels, this prince can also report."

"As for the throne, everything is up to His Majesty."

Long Tian understood what Xiao Chenghao meant, but how could he leave at this time?

"Long Tian, ​​although Zongzhou is not my fief, I have lived here for more than ten years. I can't bear to see the people suffer, but I can't suppress the rebellion myself because of my duty."

"However, fortunately, with your help, the people can resume their stable lives. In order to express my gratitude, I have specially prepared some gifts. I hope you will not be polite."

As he said, Xiao Chenghao ordered someone to present a gift list.

Long Tian took it and took a look. This Xiao Chenghao was quite generous. In order to let him give up the black iron mine, he also spent a lot of money.

10 famous BMW horses, 50,000 excellent war horses, 10 boxes of various jewels, 20 exotic beauties, 20 million taels of silver, 100,000 sets of infantry equipment, etc.

These things are also very useful to Xiao Chenghao, especially the war horses.

Xia Kingdom does not produce excellent war horses. These war horses were also purchased by Xiao Chenghao from the barbarians and the alliance of various countries with great effort.

War horses are important military supplies, and even if you have money, it is difficult to buy them. It can be seen that Xiao Chenghao is also a little sincere.

However, compared with the over 100 tons of black iron ore reserves, these things are not worth mentioning. It’s not that they are not worth it, but their effects cannot be compared.
