If he were in Datong now, with his long-standing foundation there, he could emulate Li Qin's uprising in Liaodong.
Let's go all out and take a gamble.
However, it is still the time when Li Qin has gathered a large number of troops in Jiangnan.
If I were to really take a gamble, then I would truly lose everything.
"Man is the butcher, and I am the fish on the chopping block."
Finally, Jiang Xiangyang sighed helplessly and said...
However, he is now worried that something might happen to his Datong.
But someone was probably even more anxious than him; Hong Chengchou must have been like an ant on a hot pan.
After all, something really did happen on his territory.
Inside the Imperial Palace in Jinling.
Hong Chengchou personally visited Li Qin's palace.
Li Qin sat on the dragon throne and received him in the main hall.
After paying homage to Emperor Li Qin, he...
Hong Chengchou said directly to Li Qin:
"Your Majesty, I am the Governor-General of the Northwest. With so many things happening in the Northwest, I need to go back and take charge of the overall situation."
Please grant me permission to return to the Northwest, Your Majesty.
Li Qin looked at Hong Chengchou, who had personally come to the palace below, and said:
"Minister Hong, I have my own ways of handling the situation in the Northwest. I've heard you're from Fujian, haven't you?"
It's just right. The Fujian region is still not under our control. You may lead your troops to pacify Fujian.
I hereby appoint my beloved minister as Governor-General of Fujian and Prince of Fujian.
This is also a perfect opportunity for my beloved minister to return home in glory.
"You may leave, my subject."
Upon hearing that Li Qin explicitly told him not to return to the Northwest, but instead to go to Fujian, Hong Chengchou immediately became anxious and wanted to say something more.
However, Xi Ning, who was standing next to Li Qin, immediately said:
“Governor Hong, His Majesty has already issued the decree. Do you want to be a treacherous official who disobeys the decree?”
As a subject, why don't you kneel and thank His Majesty, and accept his decree to express your gratitude?
Under Xi Ning's words, Hong Chengchou suppressed his anger and knelt down to receive the imperial decree.
After all, in the prevailing values of this era, there is the hierarchy of ruler and subject, father and son.
My lord and father. My lord and father.
My subject, my subject.
The emperor has spoken; how can you, as a subject, disobey?
Li Qin looked at Hong Chengchou, who was kneeling on the ground, having been tricked by him, and kneeling down to express his gratitude, not daring to turn against him.
It seems like being an emperor must be really comfortable.
Whatever you do, those below must openly comply.
There are no parents who are wrong, and there are no rulers who are wrong either.
If there is any mistake, it is the son's fault, the subject's fault.
