In the Snow: The Prince of Beiliang Rebelled at the Beginning

The Hall of Supreme Harmony was extremely quiet at this moment.

Everyone held their breath and concentrated so much that one could hear a pin drop.

A majestic man in a dragon robe sat high on the throne, overlooking the area below. All the ministers were kneeling on the ground, trembling in fear.

Only two people stood there with their hands folded.

Gu Jiantang and Zhang Julu.

One is the Prime Minister who has great power in the court; the other is General Li Yang who holds power and military authority.

One in literature and one in martial arts.

Faced with such things, it seems that "the mountain collapses in front of us without changing our color".

Standing on one side of the throne was Han Shengxuan, the chief eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department.

Zhao Dun glanced at the crowd, furious, and slapped the imperial desk, "That bastard Xu Ping'an from Beiliang dared to challenge my majesty, challenge the majesty of Li Yang, and challenge the majesty of the court. How dare he be so bold?"

"There is a riot in Shu now. Who of you can come out and explain it to me?"

"Since I ascended the throne, have I ever done anything to harm the people? I have worked diligently, restrained myself and followed the rules, and reformed people's livelihood, but what I welcomed was rebellion. Can anyone explain to me? Why is this?"

The emperor of the Zhao family was angry.

He was completely angry.

Xu Ping'an of Beiliang refused the marriage proposal and wanted to rebel, and the imperial court has begun to respond.

But at this time, a riot suddenly broke out in Shu.

Zhao Dun looked at Gu Jiantang and asked, "General Gu, you are the Minister of War, tell me what's going on."

When asked, even though Gu Jiantang had great skills in cultivating his Qi, he had to step up and deal with it:

"Your Majesty, I think this matter is strange and needs to be investigated. As an army, even if there are many disagreements, it will not be defeated by a group of mobs unless there is an insider."

Gu Jiantang's words were like a stone that caused a thousand waves:

Suddenly.

Inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, there was a lot of discussion:

"General Gu is right."

"There's definitely something wrong here."

"It may be that Beiliang staged this drama themselves, just to mess up Shu and then take advantage of the situation."

"If that's the case, then things are pretty annoying."

"Beiliang is so bold. They dare to rebel and stir up trouble."

"..."

There was a burst of discussion in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Zhao Dun looked gloomy, "General Gu, you are the Minister of War, you should have found something, right?"

"Is Beiliang causing trouble?"

Gu Jiantang said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, no."

"According to my intelligence, they are all the remnants of the Chu land. They are dissatisfied with the local tyranny, so they rebelled."

"These people are veterans of Chu. They have experience in killing enemies on the battlefield, so they can defeat the unprepared army."

"It is my own fault for being careless. I have sent out troops to suppress the rebellion day and night."

"Who to send?" Zhao Dun asked. Gu Jiantang said, "By the river."

"And his master."

"These two people are very knowledgeable about Shu, so they are the most suitable to be sent there."

Zhao Dun nodded and said, "General Gu, did you know that there would be such a turmoil in Shu?"

Gu Jiantang immediately knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I dare not hide anything."

"I just found out about this recently."

"Besides... the military and politics are separated. I only manage the army and not the local government."

Zhao Dun narrowed his eyes and looked at Gu Jiantang for a while, "Get up."

"Master Zhang, does this mean you already knew about this?"

Zhang Julu was stunned for a moment, then his expression instantly returned to calm, "Your Majesty, I have reminded you before."

Zhao Dun sighed and said, "My dear minister, you did say that at the beginning."

"It's also my fault..."

Zhang Julu said respectfully, "It's all my fault. I didn't remind Your Majesty in time. It's also my fault."

Zhao Dun narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang Julu, "Prime Minister Zhang, you have always advocated reducing the power of the feudal lords. This time I think you are right."

"But now I want to say that you are wrong..."

"Look, Huainan King Zhao Ying took the initiative to volunteer to attack Beiliang."

Zhang Julu remained silent.

Zhao Dun was like a punch on cotton.

He looked at the ministers in the hall.

He said calmly:

"Be flat."

All the civil and military officials in the hall stood up and stood trembling in fear.

Don't dare to speak out.

Zhao Dun looked at Gu Jiantang, "General Gu, do you think Jiang Bian and his master can quell the rebellion?"

Gu Jiantang said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Jiang Bian is a rare military talent. He will accomplish great things in Shu this time."

Zhao Dun's eyes lit up, "If that's the case, then I think there are still talented people in Liyang."

Gu Jiantang said in a deep voice: "Thanks to your majesty."

Zhao Dun looked at Gu Jiantang coldly, "General Gu, I don't want to see the events of the two Liaos happen in Shu."

Gu Jiantang said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, no."

next moment.

The Hall of Supreme Harmony fell silent again.

Zhao Dun wanted to ask Zhang Julu again, but Zhang Julu just stood there with his hands behind his back and said nothing.

He cursed inwardly:

"Old fox!"

"Don't talk at this time!"

"You are blaming me for not listening to him at the beginning."

——————————————————————————————

Zhang Julu and Gu Jiantang walked out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

All the civil and military officials in the court walked behind the two men, and no one dared to overstep the mark.

Both of them seemed to be worried.

Just now.

Two figures were coming towards this side. When they got closer, they were Yang Taisui and Yuan Benxi.

Several people greeted each other.

"Old Zhang, it seems that you were upset this morning." Yang Taisui looked at Zhang Julu and said with a smile. Zhang Julu faced this old friend without any expression on his face, and just said: "Yang Taisui, I just want to remind you that someone is coming to take your life!"

Yang Taisui was startled, then he put his hands together and chanted a Buddhist mantra: "My life has long been dead, and now, only this body is left."

"Whoever wants to take it can take it."

"I am deeply grateful for this reminder from an old friend."

Zhang Julu shook his head and said, "I may be just wishful thinking when I tell you this."

As the prime minister of Liyang, holding sway over the government for decades, Zhang Julu knew that his career had come to an end.

The end of power is death.

He knew this since he entered the power field.

Yuan Benxi was wearing a hood, so his expression couldn't be seen clearly, and he gave people a feeling of depression.

Yang Taisui smiled and said, "Prime Minister Zhang, General Gu, please go slowly."

Yang Taisui and Yuan Benxi climbed up the stairs and gradually approached the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

"Yang Taisui seems to be very familiar with Prime Minister Zhang and General Gu." When Yuan Benxi reached the Danchi, he did not move forward but looked at Yang Taisui.

Upon hearing this, the latter smiled and said, "Master Yuan, are you trying to remind me to stay away from them?"

Yuan Benxi said in a hoarse voice: "Yang Taisui is a wise man."

Yang Taisui smiled and said, "Master Yuan should worry about himself."

"I am alone, and have nothing to worry about."

"Whether it is the late emperor or the current emperor, you can rest assured."

Yuan Benxi seemed to have been poked in the heart, and snorted coldly: "If you don't want to listen, forget it."

The state and imperial teacher of the Liyang Dynasty walked into the hall with a wave of his sleeves.

Yang Taisui also walked into the hall with a smile on his face.

Led by the eunuch, the two came to the side hall.

This was where Zhao Dun handled government affairs after court was dismissed, and sometimes it was also a place for rest.

For Li Yang, the diligent emperor, national affairs are his top priority.

He could have taken it easy, but he remained diligent in his government affairs and never slacked off.

Under Zhao Dun's governance, Liyang underwent earth-shaking changes in the past twenty years.

From a small barbarian country to the Liyang Dynasty with profound cultural heritage, he can also be regarded as a holy ruler.
