The video takes us to ancient times; Li Er transforms into the Tongtian Emperor of Shu Han.

"Grand Commandant Wang, what's your decision?"

"Do you still insist on having your Great Wei King Wu, and then destroy your Wang clan along with him, or do you obediently take a step back and enjoy the reward prepared for you by the Great General?"

This time, at Wang Xiang's residence, Sima Zhao showed none of the previous politeness.

Because this time, he brought his troops with him.

When Wang Xiang faced this problem, besides Sima Zhao, he also had his entire clan members in front of him.

"General, what are you doing?"

At first, Wang Xiang remained relatively calm and managed to hold his breath.

Upon hearing his calm tone, Sima Zhao waved his hand without hesitation, and after a few slashes, his nephew Wang Ji and his entire family were beheaded.

"Grand Commandant Wang, do you think I look like I'm planning something?"

"you!?"

Wang Xiang's face turned pale upon seeing this.

“I didn’t like the tone you used just now, so I had no choice but to let them die obediently. If you still don’t understand your place, then your son will be next.”

Sima Zhao said with a sinister grin.

At this moment, Wang Xiang finally understood.

The Sima family is about to overturn the table!

But he just couldn't understand it. He hadn't made any unreasonable demands. All the so-called King of Wu of Wei wanted was a promise.

After all, the Jiangdong region is still in the hands of Sun Wu, so asking Sima Shi for a promise is not unreasonable for him.

Even if Sima Shi disagreed, he could still simply ask for the money back.

Isn't this how business has always been conducted?

But why did it suddenly turn into this armed conflict?

Could it be that the conditions he proposed were so excessive that they would force the Sima family to overturn the table?

impossible!

There are definitely other variables involved!

Wang Xiang's mind raced, and he suddenly understood.

"General, there's no need for you to do this. I'm willing to cooperate, after all, I share your desire for stability in the court."

"If someone is trying to take advantage of the situation and sow discord between me and the General, then I will make them disappear without the General needing to intervene!"

Upon hearing this, Sima Zhao's expression relaxed slightly.

"I knew it, you old man, you really are a smart man."

"You figured it out pretty quickly, so you really weren't involved in this conspiracy?"

"I don't know about other powerful families, but at least the old man and the Wang family have absolutely no disloyalty towards the General!"

Wang Xiang did not hesitate.

Although he wanted to bleed the Sima family dry and devour their flesh, he remained loyal to the Sima family, a fact he could assure himself of!

"Then... what about our little emperor? What is his stance?"

Faced with Sima Zhao's questioning, Wang Xiang dared not give any more perfunctory answers.

But what about the little emperor?

He carefully recalled his conversation with the young emperor that night.

"He should also be on the General's side."

"To be honest, General, after Gao Rou's death, I went to the palace to see His Majesty one night."

Wang Xiang recounted the entire conversation between the two of them that night.

When the young emperor expressed some resentment towards the Sima family, a murderous glint appeared in Sima Zhao's eyes.

But later, when it was mentioned that the young emperor had already prepared to abdicate in favor of the Sima family, the murderous intent vanished without a trace.

"So do you think the idea of ​​granting land and titles to kings was truly the young emperor's own idea, or was it instilled by someone with ulterior motives?"

"I believe it was his own idea!"

This answer was given without the slightest hesitation.

If anyone claims that the matter was instigated by others, then once this matter has passed, the Sima family can refuse to allow anyone to bring up the issue of granting fiefdoms and titles of kings, citing that His Majesty was misled.

As if seeing through his thoughts, Sima Zhao sneered again.

"I'll give you one more chance. Answer honestly and cooperate. Then you might still have some hope for the future. But if you dare to play tricks again, you'll die. Even if someone else becomes a king, it will have nothing to do with your Wang family."

Wang Xiang: "..."

"There must have been someone guiding us, but we don't know who that person is. At first, I thought it was the General who sent someone to do it."

The young emperor was absolutely determined to abdicate in favor of the Sima family. If we disregard everything else and only consider this point, then there is no doubt that it was the Sima family who did it!

Now it was Sima Zhao's turn to be speechless.

Thank God, this really wasn't done by people sent by the Sima family.

Furthermore, if he really sent someone, why would he instill the idea of ​​granting the young emperor land and titles of nobility?

Isn't that just making trouble out of nothing?

But if it was someone else who did it, why was the young emperor so determined to abdicate in favor of the Sima family?

I can't figure it out; the more I think about it, the more doubts I have!

"Let's put this matter aside for now. Grand Commandant Wang, I believe you that you were not involved in this conspiracy. Don't disappoint me."

"The capital will be under lockdown for about three months. During this period, all members of the Wang family are only allowed to enter, not leave. Otherwise, you will be killed without mercy. Do you understand?"

"understand!"

……

Guanqiu Dian, intending to disrupt the court, led several hundred armored soldiers to assassinate the Grand General.

Fortunately, the general saw through their scheme, thus averting a major disaster.

After Guanqiu Dian was executed on the spot, the general felt pity for him and cut off his head, sending it to Huainan.

Unexpectedly, Guanqiu Jian not only failed to appreciate the gesture, but also joined forces with Wen Qin to launch a rebellion.

Left with no other choice, the general had to mobilize troops from all directions to Huainan to quell the rebellion.

During the time the general was suppressing the rebellion, martial law needed to be in effect for three months to prevent further unrest in the capital.

Within three months, those from aristocratic families were allowed to enter but not leave.

Even ordinary merchants and common people need to be strictly checked when they come and go.

However, the several powerful clans, led by the Chen family of Yingchuan, who did not participate in the Guanqiudian rebellion but actively relayed intelligence about the attack on the General's Mansion, were not subject to this restriction.

Due to a shortage of manpower, Chen Tai also took control of some military power, taking charge of exchanging guard duties with the city's defense troops at the gates.

"Your Majesty, that's all that has happened these past few days."

Chen Tai's face was full of sorrow.

Although Mr. Chen was not implicated, he even benefited from the misfortune.

But he felt no joy whatsoever.

He knew that his current ability to openly and legitimately control military power was all thanks to Guanqiudian, who had given his life in exchange.

"Has Guanqiu Jian rebelled...?"

Everything else was within Liu Bang's expectations, but this one thing was somewhat unexpected.

Logically speaking, it's still far from the time he agreed upon with Zhang Liang.

At least for now, Eastern Wu is still embroiled in internal strife. Without the help of one side, the difficulty will increase dramatically!

"Was it because he was too ashamed and angry to see his own child's head?"

"Has this action thwarted His Majesty's plans?"

Chen Tai quickly asked.

"It's hard to say whether it has ruined my plans, but I don't think he would have started the uprising prematurely out of anger or embarrassment."

At least Zhang Liang is still in Huainan, so even if Guanqiu Jian really loses his mind, Zhang Liang will stop him.

If the uprising was launched ahead of schedule, it could only mean that Zhang Liang changed his mind!
