Chapter 129: Pepper

The sky is filled with thick dark clouds. The whole Chang'an was shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere, and people looked nervously at the sky and waited for the storm to come.

The edict announced by the King of Yan reached Chang'an as soon as possible. The people in Chang'an were talking about this matter, and the princes also calmed down, waiting for the reaction of the court and watching the play of the court. There are discussions between the streets and alleys, and the king of Yan turned against it in the name of the Qingjun side.

A restaurant is full of people drinking tea.

"Brother, do you know that the king of Yan's edict is going to be reversed? It is said that there is a 200,000 army," a middle-aged man whispered.

As we all know, the court doesn't have the same prestige as before, but it's just a clown. Do you think he can still succeed? The army of the imperial court is waiting there! Since he dares to rebel, let's wait for his head to fall to the ground! I am full of confidence in the court.

Shh! That's not necessarily true. You may not know that the court is in internal distress now. The riot in Youzhou has not subsided yet. It is said that Youzhou and the border army have fought, and it seems to be indiscriminate. In addition, now the traitors in the court control the government, and the king of Yan came this time to get rid of the treacherous ministers in the court.

The people around listened carefully to their conversation, afraid of missing a word.

Brother, your words are wrong. You may not know that his edict says that Huo Guang and others control the government. But don't you know that Huo Guangda Sima is the orphaned minister of Emperor Wu and is heartfelt to the court. What is the traitor party? What's more, Da Sima is in the dynasty, and he is also working hard to govern. Although the situation is not very good, it is mostly caused by natural disasters, and there is nothing he can do. What you said is wrong.

In addition, there are several of those who have achieved good endors in the past, and all of them have been flattened. Even the chaos of the seven kings can't be done, not to mention that there are only three kings now, so they can't make any chaos. Brother, let's take it here at ease and watch.

The people around couldn't help nodding. I very much agree with his statement.

When the proposer saw everyone nodding, he couldn't help smiling awkwardly, "Maybe as you think, brother, let's wait for the further development of the matter, and then we can see the result."

Then wait and see!

People are discussing all kinds of sayings, some in favor of the king of Yan's practice, some against it, and all kinds of rumors are surging in Chang'an. Abnormal depression of air.

Originally, people were concerned about the situation in Youzhou and Shandong. But when this happened, people's eyes turned to the King of Yan. He stared at the court and looked forward to a solution as soon as possible.

The court is also extremely tense, and all departments are running nervously, without the previous laziness. In the early morning, it was often noon, and the members of the court were waiting for the emperor's reaction.

In a few days of deliberation, three factions were gradually formed.

One faction is the recruitment faction, and they advocate sending people to recruit and surrender. Give King Yan enough benefits to give up the rebellion and return to the court, which is not responsible for what he has done. And give him some benefits.

Another faction is that the main war faction is firmly in favor of counterattacking and giving the King of Yan a blow to defeat him. Ring the bell for the princes of the world and let them know that even if the situation in the court is unstable, these princes can't turn to the sky. If you surrender, doesn't that mean that the court is weak? After that, those princes were not in heaven, which was a major blow to the prestige of the court. We should take advantage of this heavy blow to let the princes of the world see.

The other faction is neutral people, who wait for the final decision of the court and implement it.

No matter what the party is, they know that this war is not so easy to fight. The king of Yan has been preparing for so long and waiting for such a day. In addition, the king of Zhongshan and the king of Qi Xiao are enough to have 200,000 troops, and the court can only use about 150,000. It is very difficult to win.

Now the most difficult thing is Huo Guang and other auxiliary ministers, because the king of Yan has targeted them, and now they have become the object of discussion in the world. Someone slandered them.

Some even proposed to hand over Huo Guang in exchange for peace.

However, you should know that the overall situation of the court held their hands, so they were severely suppressed. However, the political enemy will not give up so easily. The clan led by Liu Piqiang competed with Huo Guang in the court and proposed to hand him over, and said that Huo Guang had corrupted the court and over the emperor.

Huo Guang and others stand firm. For their slander and attack, their momentum is not weak at all.

And those princes look at jokes every time in the court. Some secretly formed alliances to attack Huo Guang and support Liu Piqiang. With the support of those princes, Liu Piqiang was more resolute.

At this time, Huo Guang was discussing with some ministers.

"Let's see how likely we are to succeed if we start a war." Huo Guang frowned slightly and had a black circle on his eyes. Obviously, he hasn't had a good life in recent days.

Shang Jie shook his head, "The victory or defeat is the number of five. You also know that those armaments are not very well-equipped, and there are many old disabled people, so we have great difficulties in defeating the 200,000 troops of King Yan, but this does not mean that we have no chance.

Shangguan Jie continued with a straight face, "We still have an army that can use. The armament of that army is very good, and there are 50,000 training. If we make good use of it, we can still succeed.

"Do you mean the cavalry!" Sang Hongyang nodded and said.

"Well, that's the army."

"This army is still a strong division under the leadership of General Fengling. If we want to succeed, we must make good use of this army."

With no doubt, "General Fengling is a fierce general in my dynasty and has made countless contributions. With his command, we can still succeed. But what I'm worried about is those opponents, who have always been opposed to our launch and want us to use the method of surrender.

"Recruitment, jokes, don't look at how long the King of Yan has been prepared, and they will give up so easily. If it's that simple, then I will cut off my head and send it to them in person. What they said in the edict is just an excuse, but that excuse happens to be me. I think if it weren't for me, he would have found another excuse.

Only Liu Piqiang will think of surrender, and their clans have always looked down on us. There is great dissatisfaction with these people.

This time they seized the opportunity, how could they give up obediently? But does he think he can achieve the goal? The eyes of the people in the world are bright.

"Da Sima, you are right. It's true. Even without you, the King of Yan will come up with another excuse. What we have to do now is to suppress those who have been demoted. Those princes are looking at our jokes.

Shangguan Jie shook his head.

Huo Guang thought about it and knew the current situation in the court. If you rely on those clans alone, you still don't worry about it. You can still press it down with your own wrist. But now with those princes, everything is variable.

However, as long as you are determined, you can still use the emperor's hand to suppress them. As long as the emperor speaks, they will agree.

surrender, that's a joke! Only they can come up with jokes.

"We will discuss with the emperor and settle the matter. However, it's only 200,000 troops, and they are gathered temporarily. With our heavenly army, we can still defeat them. There were so many prince rebellions in those years, but which one was successful was suppressed by us in the end.

"Lord Huo Guang, what you said is that as long as we make good use of the army in our hands, we can still defeat them." He said with a smile.

"You can rest assured that I have actively prepared the army. As long as they dare to rise up, I will give them a heavy blow to let them know the consequences of the rebellion. Let those ready-to-move princes know that even if the situation of the court is not good, the prestige is not something that their regional princes can challenge. Huo Guang looked cold.

Everyone nodded.

Everyone talked about various methods, and it didn't end until night.
