"Zong Zhengchen can't possibly not cross the river, unless he grows wings and flies across!"

As soon as Zong Zhengli finished speaking, he saw the soldier's body tremble. His eyes turned cold and he grabbed him by the collar:

"You're lying!"

The soldier turned pale with fear:

"Your Majesty..."

"Tell me, what's going on!" he shouted coldly.

"I, I... I..." The soldier was trembling, obviously feeling guilty and hiding something.

Seeing that the emperor was angry, he knew he could no longer hide the truth, so he was frightened and told the whole story:

"I'll tell you! Three nights ago, Prince Chen tried to force his way across the river, but the carriage accidentally lost control and fell into the Wulan River. General Li said that he wanted to see the man alive or dead, and he was salvaging the body. He was going to bring Prince Chen's body back and then confess to you."

"What!" Wu Nu exclaimed.

Given King Chen's temperament, how could he make such a low-level mistake as causing the carriage to fall into the river?

She immediately asked:

"Did you see King Chen fall into the river with your own eyes?"

This question made his soldiers stunned on the spot:

"No, I didn't see it... That night, Prince Chen stayed in the carriage the whole time. He didn't say a word, and didn't show his face..."

Having said this, he instantly understood something and his face turned as pale as a dead person.

Finished!

The carriage may be empty!

The person inside is most likely not King Chen!

But what happened three days ago, I just realized it now, but it's too late.

Zong Zhengli was very angry, "Why didn't you report the truth to me, you good-for-nothings!"

The soldier fell to his knees, trembling with fear, and his voice was stammering:

"Your Majesty, please calm down... Yes, yes, that's what General Li meant... He said, salvage the body..."

“How many people are involved in the salvage operation?”

“All, all…”

Zong Zhengli was furious. "What do you mean?! All those people stationed in the fiefdom were transferred to salvage the bodies?!"

The soldier was so frightened that he couldn't breathe, and his mind went blank:

“Yes, yes…”

"ah!"

Zong Zhengli was so angry that he dropped the memorial on the table, kicked over the table, grabbed the soldier in anger, and broke his neck with one palm.

"waste!"

"waste!"

"You are a bunch of good-for-nothings who are always causing trouble! Ah!"

He threw the corpse on the ground angrily, his eyes were bloodshot and filled with raging fire.

So many people were made a fool of by Zong Zhengchen!

He sent some men to block the bridge and some to guard King Chen's fiefdom, making preparations for both scenarios. Even if Zong Zhengchen managed to cross the bridge by chance, he would not be able to enter his own fiefdom smoothly.

Now, not only did Zong Zhengchen cross the bridge smoothly, but the stupid General Li also withdrew the troops stationed in his fiefdom, opening the door for Zong Zhengchen to return to his fiefdom.

Zong Zhengchen returned to his fiefdom. He had land, connections, and military power. It would be extremely difficult to suppress him.

He is so mad!

So angry!

"Catch this Li Chengtian! Kill all his clans! Slowly execute them! Grind all his clansmen to dust!"

.

There are more than ten cities in the Jiangnan area, which are the fiefdom of King Chen.

On that day, Zong Zhengchen pretended to cross the river to lead away the troops, but actually took the ferry. After arriving at the fiefdom, the supporting troops quickly surrounded the fiefdom and protected it tightly. They also announced the news that Prince Li was planning to usurp the throne.

The people naturally support King Chen.

They supported King Chen in raising an army and proclaiming himself king, and hoped that King Chen would defeat Zong Zhengli, expose his ugly face, punish evil and promote good.

Suddenly, Dongling Kingdom was divided into two, and the people were also divided.

North of the Wulan River is the territory of Zong Zhengli. When the new emperor ascended the throne, he instilled in the people the idea that "Prince Chen is plotting to usurp the throne."

The area south of the Wulan River is Zong Zhengchen's territory. The people firmly believe that the emperor's favorite prince has always been Prince Chen, and Zong Zhengli must have used shady means to obtain the throne.

The people on both sides supported their respective masters, beat and scolded each other, mocked each other, and defended their own side.

For a time, the situation was extremely chaotic, and other countries also got involved and watched the fun.

The Ulan River divided the two men, and the struggle between the two brothers escalated to the national level, and it would be difficult to end it in a short period of time.
