"Your Majesty, now the Wei State has a million soldiers. Xiao Yi relied on the old and sold the old in the court. Xiao Yan supported his troops in Yongzhou. If this continues, the temple of our Qi country will be in danger. Concubine Pan Yunu said worriedly.

"Isn't it? Xiao Yan has always been the dominant party. If he continues to do the history of Yongzhou assassination, sooner or later something will happen. Xiao Baojuan said angrily.

"However, Xiao Yan is His Majesty's uncle after all. Moreover, he also has a certain army. If His Majesty takes the liberty of getting rid of him, I am afraid that his subordinates and the old troops will rebel! Pan Yunu worried.

His pale and translucent complexion suddenly became a dark cloud.

He thought to himself: If Xiao Yan is executed. Wu Shuyuan was offered by Xiao Yanjin. I can say that she is Xiao Yan's spy, and I can take the opportunity to get rid of her.

At this time, Xiao Yan was still surveying geography in Yongzhou.

"Xiao Thorn History, this is Wei State's "Water Jing Note". Fan Yun brought a book.

"This is the book of the Wei State. How did you get it? Xiao Yan asked.

"I am friends with many pirate dealers in Wei. For example, that Fan Jin. He was very fond of piracy. Fan Yun said with a smile.

"Fan Jin. I know that he preached "atheism", which is somewhat similar to Zu Chongzhi in the Song Dynasty of the Southern Dynasty. They all think the Dharma is. However, although we do not believe in Buddhism very much, we also have some research on Buddhism. Fan Zhen is also persona non grata. Xiao Yan was a little resentful.

"Not necessarily. Fan Zhen is actually kind. He had been an envoy to Wei and found that the Wei emperors were very fond of Buddhism. The people of Wei now have no combat strength before entering the Central Plains. Fan Zhen didn't mean it," Fan Yun said sadly.

"Fan Yun, your cousin is also amazing. He wasn't just against the Buddha. I don't even think that immortals exist. Such a deviant person. Even His Majesty wouldn't dare to use it! Xiao Yan said angrily.

"People in the world also need spiritual sustenance. These are troubled times. The Wei State invaded our Qi State in three days. The world is in turmoil. The common people also have no spiritual sustenance and need some faith. Fan Zhen only saw the disadvantages of Buddhism, but did not see its benefits. Fan Yun said with a smile.

"I have been doing Yongzhou Thorn History these days, and I have always been polite to people of Buddhism. Confucianism has always been tolerant of all rivers, and it may not be impossible to live in harmony with Buddhism and Taoism. My recently married cousin, Ding Lingguang, is also a Buddhist. She is kind-hearted and has always loved to help the poor. Xiao Yan said with a smile.

Fan Yun thought to himself: Xiao Shuda seems to be very yearning for Buddhism. If only he could devote himself to the Buddha. Our Yongzhou is a paradise on earth.

"yes. Buddhism can also benefit all living beings. Fan Yun said with a smile.

However, at this time, Yuan Cheng was already planning to murder Xiao Yan.

He had already rebelled against Chen Xianda, the Jiangzhou assassin of the Qi State.

Yuan Cheng met Chen Xianda in Shouchun City.

He said to Chen Xianda: "General Chen, you have made many military exploits. However, now Xiao Baojuan has not reused you. And I have repeatedly suspected that you have the intention of rebellion. Recently, you are willing to surrender to our Wei State. I feel very relieved. ”

"Lord Wang. I am comrades-in-arms with Pei Shuye, the assassin of Yuzhou. I can persuade him to surrender to Wei with him. Chen Xianda said with a smile.

"Really? That's good. However, surrender also requires a greeting gift! Rencheng Wang Yuancheng said with a smile.

"Couldn't Yuzhou and Jiangzhou be used as a meeting gift?" Chen Xianda was a little strange. He thought to himself: What does King Ren Cheng want?

"What I want is the head of Xiao Baojuan, and the heirloom jade seal of the Qi Kingdom. It is said that the heirloom jade seal of Qi was born during the period of Qin Shi Huang. The Eastern Jin Dynasty Nandu also took away the jade seal. In this way, the jade seal is in your southern Qi country. Emperor Xiaowen has always looked forward to the unification of the north and the south, and so is His Majesty today. If you can dedicate the head of Daoyi Xiao Baojuan to Your Majesty, and dedicate the Jiangshan Sheji of Qi to Your Majesty, it is not a problem for you to be a marquis and worship the prime minister. Rencheng Wang Yuancheng said with a smile.

"Do you want me to lead a large army, take Jiankang directly, and destroy the Qi State?" Chen Xianda was frightened.

He thought to himself: What to do? Although the emperor of Qi is mediocre. However, it is not a soft persimmon either. Cui Huijing and Xiao Yan are not vegetarians.

"yes. However, you need to fight the tyrant. Set up a prince of Qi as emperor. In this way, we can win the hearts and minds of the people. This prince should be Xiao Baoyin, the king of Jian'an. He has always been close to our Wei State. Rencheng Wang Yuancheng said with a smile.

"But, how to deal with Xiao Yan? He is the history of Yongzhou. Chen Xianda said worriedly.

"You can write on the inscription of the crusade against Xiao Baojuan: Xiao Yan, the assassin of Yongzhou, also responded to my uprising. Let Xiao Yan have to rebel. If he does not rebel, he dies. If it is the other way around, you can also unite with him. Moreover, Xiao Yan's eldest brother Xiao Yi is the Shangshu of Qi State, if Xiao Yan is the opposite. He will also rebel. Qi is at your fingertips. Rencheng Wang Yuancheng said with a smile.

"The prince is a good plan." Chen Xianda said with a smile.

Yuan Cheng thought to himself: Xiao Yan will inevitably be killed by Xiao Baojuan. In this way, there will be no one in the Southern Dynasty who can resist the iron hooves of the Wei State.

"Xiao Yanruo can be used by our Wei State. Your Majesty can also reuse him. Yuan Cheng said with a smile.

Chen Xianda thought to himself: How can I let Xiao Yan be reused by the Wei State? If Xiao Yan also surrendered to Wei, wouldn't my credit be much smaller.

I must die in Xiao Yanjuan's hands.

A few days later, Chen Xianda declared an uprising in Jiangzhou.

He posted a text on the crusade against the faint monarch Xiao Baojuan, shouting: "The faint monarch Xiao Baojuan brutalized the loyal and good, and favored the adulterous concubine, which is not tolerated by heaven and earth. I am crusading against him for the sake of the country of Qi. Xiao Baoyin, the king of Jian'an, was known as a virtuous person and became the new emperor. ”

The soldiers shouted: "Crusade against the tyrant Xiao Baojuan......"

"Xiao Yan, the assassin of Yongzhou, has also communicated with me. He'll respond, too. Chen Xianda said with a smile.

Xiao Baojuan soon received the news of Chen Xianda's rebellion.

He said to the eunuch Xiao Fangzi: "I can't imagine that Chen Xianda has been planning for a long time. and also colluded with Xiao Yan. I must kill Xiao Yan. ”

Xiao Baojuan clenched his fists and pounded his chest.

He thought to himself: If I had known, I should have killed Xiao Yan. Then I will be spared the calamity.

The eunuch Xiao Fangzi persuaded: "This may be the enemy's counter-plan!" The enemy may be trying to get Your Majesty to kill Xiao Yan. Then, take advantage of it! ”

"Not necessarily, right? Xiao Yan reused the children of the poor family in Yongzhou to buy people's hearts. Moreover, he was still building water conservancy projects in Xiangyang, and he had long hoped to rebel. I must kill him this time. Xiao Baojuan scolded.

The eunuch Xiao Fangzi said, "Your Majesty can let Xiao Yan come." If he doesn't dare to come, he must have a ghost in his heart. Your Majesty can send someone to fight him. ”

At this time, Xiao Yan was still in Xiangyang to check the irrigation of farmland.

He said to Fan Yun: "Brother Fan, we need to strengthen irrigation. Xiangyang needs Tuntian. In this way, it will be possible to defend against the Wei state. ”
