Prince Fu rebelled.
On the day when the Tianwei arrived in Anyuan to announce the decree, Prince Fu summoned a group of private soldiers from Prince Fu's palace, no less than a thousand people.
Perhaps if Prince Fu had not rebelled, the officials and people in Anyuan City, Annan Province, which was far away from the capital, would have maintained great respect for the legendary Tianwei.
However, Prince Fu resolutely rebelled, under the pretext of clearing the court of corrupt officials, saying that the treacherous officials in the court were causing chaos and endangering the country of Da'an, and he wanted to obey the order of the late emperor and put an end to the rebellion!
The blame of being a treacherous minister was naturally put on the brothers Chu Yi and Chu Yan.
The local officials and people of Anyuan City all agree with this.
The evil deeds of Minister Chu had been deeply rooted in their hearts due to the years of instigation by Prince Fu.
Prince Fu first killed the person who delivered the imperial edict from the Heavenly Guards, and then relied on the private soldiers in his mansion to control Anyuan City.
The commander of Anyuanwei had already been bribed by Prince Fu. Although some generals knew the consequences of rebellion and did not want to commit suicide, they had no choice under the general trend.
In less than half a month, Prince Fu had completely consolidated his rule over several counties around Anyuan.
As for the olive branch extended by Prince Fu and the fourth brother's words about dividing the world with his sixth brother, Prince Zhou wanted to laugh.
But he has always been a cautious person and knows that if he rebels now, it will probably not achieve anything.
After all, throughout history, how many vassal kings have been able to succeed in their rebellion?
After careful consideration, King Zhou politely declined King Fu's offer.
…
Anyuan.
Prince Fu stared at the reply letter from Prince Zhou in his hand with a calm gaze and remained silent for a long time.
"My sixth brother is dissatisfied with my failed rebellion and is unable to act. What do you think?"
It was also a long time before he looked at the generals and staff in front of him.
Luo Chen was silent for a while, and suddenly a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Then he stepped forward and whispered something in Prince Fu's ear.
Prince Fu was stunned when he heard this, until he finally looked at him with wide eyes.
There was surprise, astonishment, hesitation, and even excitement in that look.
"Haha, I really can't tell. You're worthy of being my king's most valued aide. You're truly so insidious and cunning!"
"Yes, I like it very much!"
Prince Fu kept praising Mr. Luo, and outsiders had no idea what Mr. Luo was talking about.
But they all noticed that Luo Chen had a smile on his face at this time, which was indeed a bit cunning.
…
On this day, King Zhou came to the most luxurious restaurant in Xunyuan City to have fun as usual.
However, when the palace's carriage passed by the roadside, the passers-by looked at the carriage with eyes that seemed very strange.
King Zhou was stunned when he stuck his head out, and then a piece of letter floated towards his face.
He also took it away and took a look. Just one glance and his face turned pale.
"Good, Prince Fu, you are really my good fourth brother!"
He was so angry that veins popped on his forehead and he subconsciously crumpled the paper in his hand into a ball.
Because what was written on the paper was the letter from Prince Fu asking him to cooperate with him and his reply to Prince Fu expressing his polite refusal.
All I can say is that I don't know this fourth brother well enough, and I don't know what kind of shameless behavior he has committed.
Knowing that cooperation would fail, he instead revealed everything, forcing himself to rebel together.
King Zhou was quite certain that if something like this were to spread to the capital, the young emperor would probably send people to search his palace in the next second.
Then his ten-year plan would probably fail.
But it was obvious that Prince Fu was plotting against him, and he had no way to do anything about it.
After all, it doesn’t matter if people in the world don’t believe it. As long as the emperor believes it, it will be a dead end.
King Zhou felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten three pounds of shit just because he was going out.
After hesitating for a while, he shouted loudly.
"Go back home!"
…
At the same time, the same scene was happening in other places in Annan.
Many princes received similar letters in their own fiefdoms, filling the entire city with them and causing panic among the people.
However, for other vassal kings, it was naturally not a matter of discussing rebellion. It was more about these vassal kings communicating privately, disregarding the court and not respecting the law.
This kind of thing is normal in a small sense, but in a big sense, it can be regarded as the crime of treason.
A very strange dark cloud was hanging over the entire Annan Province.
At a time when many princes chose to wait and see Prince Fu's rebellion, another thunderclap exploded.
That is, King Xunyuan of Zhou also rebelled!
It was like a powder keg, instantly exploding the weird atmosphere in Annan.
Most of the princes who knew about these things began to feel uneasy.
After all, the people in their fiefdom now believe these rumors.
If you had no private dealings with each other, why would Prince Fu inform you princes?
If you didn't rebel, why would Prince Fu express his willingness to cooperate with you?
If you have a clear conscience, why do you oppress the people and run rampant in the countryside?
Prince Fu relied on the strategy of using soft tactics to win over some people, offend some people, and kill some people, and turned the entire Annan upside down.
In short, the final result of this incident was that many wavering princes, thinking that they would end up dead, also raised the flag of rebellion.
They were thinking, with so many princes rebelling together, and given the corruption of the court today, what if they could take advantage and succeed?
Things have changed in peaceful and prosperous Annan.
…
"I'm so pissed off!"
"I'm really pissed off!"
In the Purple Palace, Xiao Ling was furious when he learned that Prince Fu had rebelled and killed the Heavenly Guards.
At this time, there was still some time before the other vassal kings of Annan rebelled, but she could no longer bear it.
She never expected that not only would she be dominated by Chu Yi in the court, but she would also be ignored by these petty vassal kings.
If you want to rebel, then rebel. Where do they put my dignity? Where do they put the court?
"What a great Prince Fu! I have been so tolerant of you!"
Xiao Ling was getting angry just thinking about it, and when he thought about the fact that this matter was caused by Chu Yi, he couldn't help but take out his anger on Chu Yi again.
After all, she suddenly remembered that it was Chu Yi who instigated the assassination and framed King Fu.
I'm afraid that this traitor has long known that Prince Fu is planning to rebel, and is taking this opportunity to sow discord between himself and Prince Fu, forcing him to rebel.
As long as Prince Fu rebels, the south and other places will be in chaos, and the Chu bandits can reap the benefits.
When the time comes and I am no longer strong enough, he will rebel and usurp the throne and power with ease!
After realizing this purpose, Xiao Ling felt terrible.
"The Chu thief is so shameless and unscrupulous, why should I trust him so easily?"
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but start to regret her own naiveté.
