Things have come to this point where no one knows what to do next.
Let Su Yunyan go back? Will the Duke of Yun be furious when he learns that the surrounding countries want to unite to strangle Yunzhou? Will he pick a weak target first?
The envoys from the three Gaochang Kingdoms were trembling, as if they were the softest persimmon.
Li Deming was unable to sleep or eat, as it seemed that the Xixia were the ones dancing the most happily.
If Su Yunyan is not allowed to go back...
Oh my god, isn’t this just dancing on the birthday guy’s head, looking for death?
What to do?
Inside the palace, envoys from Tubo and the three kingdoms of Gaochang all looked at Li Mingde eagerly.
Li Deming said with a bitter face: "It's useless for you to look at me. I have no say."
The Tibetan envoy asked: "What does the Xixia ruler think?"
Li Deming felt very sad: "My father said that he was not feeling well, so I will take full charge of this matter."
Alas, it was my father who ordered the detention of Su Yunyan.
Seeing that the situation was not good, it was my father who pushed the matter out.
It’s a betrayal to my son!
The Gaochang envoy was anxious: "You Xixia started the fire, so you have to be responsible for putting it out."
Li Mingde's eyes widened, and he said unconvincedly: "What do you mean we Xixia took the lead? It was clearly the intention of the Great Zhou Emperor!"
"What a sin! It's so deadly to be friends with you Xixia." The Gaochang envoy waved his sleeves and left.
Li Deming looked at his son Li Yuanhao: "You and Su Yunyan..."
If Su Yunyan became his daughter-in-law, Duke Yun would not be able to destroy Western Xia, right?
Li Yuanhao had a blank expression: "She ignored me."
This sentence makes people sad to hear.
Women are so realistic. With a strong family as a backing, they look down on him.
well!
Alas!
Alas, alas, alas!
There were sighs in the palace, and no one had any good ideas.
Suddenly, someone came to report: "The capital of the Great Zhou is under siege."
Um?!
Everyone jumped in shock.
The Tibetan envoy's teeth chattered as he asked, "Yun, Duke Yun has reached Kyoto?!"
So fast?!
The Khotanese envoy burst into tears, his eyes turned black, his body went limp, and he fainted from fear.
Li Deming clenched the armrests of the chair tightly with both hands, his head buzzing. Xixia was not yet ready to confront Yunzhou!
The messenger said: "It was not the Duke of Yun who surrounded us, it was the rebels."
ha?!
Is this fake?!
In Yunzhou and Fuming Town, all high-ranking officials in Yunzhou were summoned overnight.
Big news! Kyoto is under siege.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Yan Tongchu broke free from the heavy pressure like a spring, stood up suddenly, and the teacup beside the table fell to the ground with a clang.
"Besides our Yunzhou, who else can attack Jingdu?"
"That's right, this must be news deliberately released by Da Zhou in order to lure us south. They must have set an ambush along the way." Gu Hai said firmly.
Come on, that's Kyoto!
There are millions of people in Kyoto, and a spit from each of them can drown the enemy.
Moreover, there is Xiangzhou next to Kyoto, and the combined military strength of the two places is at least 100,000.
Besiege Kyoto?
Who is so overconfident?!
The lobby was noisy, as if thousands of ducks were quacking at the same time.
No one was willing to believe this news. It sounded too unbelievable, and even a storybook wouldn't dare to write it that way.
A group of peasant rebels dared to surround Kyoto!
You know, since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it has suppressed more than 300 uprisings, big and small!
Gu Nanxi understood the feelings of everyone present very well, because when she learned about this, her first reaction was that this was definitely a joke!
However, the feedback given by the Intelligence Department, merchants, Baida Express and other parties was that Kyoto was really surrounded!
Gu Nanxi handed the letter in her hand to Wang Buxi, and then passed it on to others in turn.
Wang Buxi glanced at the content and found it was a request for Duke Yun to send troops to quell the rebellion. The words used were sincere, unlike the previous little emperor who was so condescending or played the emotional card.
The content of this letter is very pragmatic, meaning that as long as Duke Yun is willing to send troops, everything else can be discussed.
Looking at the signature again, it turned out to be Grand Tutor Tong!
Wang Buxi rubbed his teeth and said, "If this letter was written by the Emperor of the Great Zhou, we could still talk. Unfortunately, it was written by Grand Tutor Tong. The Emperor of the Great Zhou probably won't recognize it."
Gu Hai sat down, drank a sip of tea, and calmed down: "Yes! Let the rebels gnaw on this tough bone of Kyoto first."
"I think we can just gather troops in Guangde Prefecture. When the time comes, we can take over Kyoto!"
"That's not a bad idea. But the premise is, is our information really accurate? What if the Great Zhou court staged it themselves?"
Everyone started arguing again.
Some wanted to sit back and watch the fight, some wanted to unite with the rebels to attack Kyoto, some believed in conspiracy theories and thought it was a trap set by the Great Zhou...
Every man has his own reason, and every woman has her own reason.
Gu Nanxi was overwhelmed by the noise. The name of the rebel leader sounded familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before.
Where is it?
Fang La, Fang La.
"Ah, I remember it! Come on, someone, go to the cell to find Cao Yu!" Gu Nanxi suddenly stood up.
Because some experiences were too socially devastating, Gu Nanxi had never wanted to think about them.
I wonder if Cao Yu is still in prison?
What did he do to get him in prison? He could have been locked up for months!
Gu Nanxi had no choice but to try his luck and go look for him in the cell first, hoping the jailer might know his contact information.
Unexpectedly, Cao Yu is still in the cell!
The jailer complained to the official who came to look for him: "I am really impressed! He has committed no major crimes, but he has committed many minor ones. He comes to the jail every few days."
The official in charge of bringing the person in asked curiously, "Why did he come in this time?"
"Preaching."
"Hmm? We don't prohibit preaching in Yunzhou."
The jailer was disappointed: "He preached the freeloader religion and instigated his followers to rebel. He was reported by a kind-hearted old lady, and now he's in jail again."
Cao Yu slapped the railing and said in dissatisfaction: "What do you mean by eating vegetables for free?! We are the eating vegetables and doing nothing! The one who reported me was not some enthusiastic old lady, she was my first believer in Yunzhou!"
"Okay, okay, hurry up and go. Your time in prison is almost as long as your time clocking in for work! You come here more frequently than the jailers."
Cao Yu complained in dissatisfaction: "Do you blame me? In order to persuade the old lady to believe in religion, I gave her an egg! Then she sold me out right away. People in Yunzhou are really dishonest."
The officials who brought the people were amused: "Just an egg? You are so stingy. When Buddhists give lectures, they provide a free meal. No wonder they don't believe you."
Cao Yu was shocked. Is it so difficult to preach in Yunzhou? !
As they were talking, Cao Yu appeared in front of everyone.
To be honest, he was a little panicked.
Having been in Yunzhou for so long, he has been more or less influenced by the people of Yunzhou and has an unspeakable awe for Duke Yun.
Gu Nanxi: "Cao Yu, were you sent by Fang La?"
"Yes." Cao Yu lowered his head and spoke in a low voice.
"Why are you sent here?"
Cao Yu didn't dare to look up, and said honestly: "The saint wants to attack Kyoto, so he sent me to contact you and wants to cooperate with you."
Oh my god!
It was really Fang La who was besieging Kyoto!
Wang Buxi's facial features were all shocked and his mood was very complicated.
Cao Yu came to Yunzhou a long time ago, which shows that Fang La had long planned to attack Kyoto.
Fang La started with just a workshop and dared to attack Kyoto.
This makes everyone here look very timid! (End of this chapter)
