Chapter 549: The Difficulty of King Chu Ling (3)
The two brothers suddenly saw the food, and then they felt hungry, so they sat down to eat the lunch of the sick men. After serving the two of them to lunch, Chao Wu and Man Chengran came back with embarrassed expressions and gloomy faces and Fei Wuji.
Qiji's face was gloomy and he didn't say a word, glaring at this person viciously, sometimes glaring at that person.
Guan Cong renounced the disease and explained their plan: to overthrow the spirit king and make the prince the new king. The prince cried out, "Kill me, you traitors!" How can I use the blood of one brother to make another? β
Guan Cong: "What is a tyrant's brother compared to the state? It is not unclear what the King of Chu has done for you. Do you really have to repent when all the princes rebel, when the enemy army is coming, and when the country falls? Don't you think it's too late by then? β
Cai Gong is still resolutely opposed. Guan Cong believes that the time should not be delayed for too long, once the news of Cai Gong's control spreads out, and he is not released, the consequences will be unimaginable. The coup d'Γ©tat had no choice but to put him under house arrest.
The formation of the two princes entering the palace was very large, and many curious Cai people had already gathered outside the palace gate. Guan Cong set up an altar in the palace courtyard, dug a pit and killed the animals, and asked Zigan to put on Cai Gong's clothes, with his back to the palace gate, pretending to be holding a bloody ceremony with Chao Wu and Prince Heiqiu. Guan Cong opened the palace gate and let the people outside the door see this fake show with their own eyes.
After the trick was done, Guan Cong and Chao Wu came to the square of the former Taimiao, and the excitement followed. Guan Cong saw that the people of the country were gathering more and more, and excitedly released the news: "The king of Chu has no way, the people are dissatisfied, and the princes are not satisfied, and the upper part is shaken. Duke Cai decided to overthrow the tyrant, so he recruited the two princes Zibi and Zihui back from the Jin Kingdom. Cai Gong is ready to support Lizibi as the new king and support Cai Ren's recovery! We've just sworn an oath to kill animals β some of you should have seen it. Now that Duke Cai and the two princes have gone out of the city to gather troops, what we have to do is to arm up and support Duke Cai to fight the tyrant and restore the kingdom of Cai! β
The people suddenly became in a commotion, and Cai Ren was generally surprised and shocked by this sudden change, and he didn't know what to do for a while. Someone in the crowd shouted, "You guys are just farts!" You're all bad guys! You are not satisfied with the destruction of Cai Guo, and you have to design to kill all the Cai people! Is it that Lao Cai is dead, so you don't have to worry about it anymore? β
More similar voices came out of the crowd, and many echoed the voice, slowly squeezing towards the front of the stage, trying to catch the "bad guys".
Guan Cong jumped off the high platform, stretched out his hands, and walked through the human wall formed by the soldiers, letting the troublemakers grab: "The princes have entered the barracks, and the Chu army will be assembled soon, even if you tear me apart, you can't change the facts!" Think of the consequences of you killing me! You have already learned the cruelty of the Chu army; The choice is yours whether you decide to die at the hands of the Sick Fellow or help him overthrow the tyranny of the Bear Piety and get the freedom and wealth you have ever dreamed of! β
The Cai people were frightened by his threat, and they let go of the watchman. Someone asked, "If you help Cai Gong, we can get what we dream of?" β
At this time, Chao Wu was still on the stage, he took a few steps forward, stretched out his arms to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said: "I know what Lao Cai people think, we think the same as you!" The tyrant Xiong Qian used trickery to destroy the Cai Kingdom, and I am thinking about how to restore the country all the time!
"Abandon the disease and swore an oath to me just now, promising to reply to Cai Guo immediately once he becomes the king of Chu! Cai State will no longer be a county of Chu State! But we have to help the sick, and we have to build up merit for the overthrow of the tyrant! This is also Cai Guo's last chance to regain his position! Think of it, no victor would give a reward to a cowardly and greedy man without merit. Therefore, if you want to restore the Cai Kingdom and restore the status and glory of the past, come with me, and we will act together with the abandonment of illness and fight to Yingdu! β
Some of the nurseries and supporters who had been planted in the crowd shouted one after another: "Down with the tyrant!" We want to restore the country! We want to restore the country! More and more people shouted with them, and then the whole square boiled, and the shouts of "recovering the country" resounded one after another.
After Chao Wu and his entourage succeeded in arousing the people's desire to restore the country, they returned to the palace, and Man Chengran stood on the steps and smiled at them. He Cai Gong had already agreed to raise troops, and the three brothers were hugging and crying together, asking Wu not to disturb the scene of the brothers' friendship. After a while, he summoned the people in (he had regained his freedom and status), and several people gathered around to study the plan of the army. Zihui asked to bring Chen Gongxu in, but shook his head: "He is the most stubborn guy, he is only loyal to the king, no matter who the king is." He only takes normal orders from me and will never attack the royal family. β
Chao Wu: "Although the minister cannot serve Chen Gong, he can obtain his army." Then he wrote a letter to Chen Gongxu's brother Ziyan.
When night fell, the people dispersed. When there were only three people left in the room, Prince Qiji, Fei Wuji, and Man Chengran, Qiji smiled at the two of them: "What a stupid group of people! Before the words fell, the three of them leaned forward and fell back together, laughing and laughing.
On the second morning, the prince abandoned his illness and swore an oath with Zigan and Zihui, and the former ministers and doctors of Chen and Cai swore an oath to kill animals, and announced that the prince would be the king of Chu; The "new king" named the prince Heiqi as "Ling Yin", and the prince gave up his illness as "Da Sima". After the agreement is completed, Chen Guo can return to the country.
After that, Cai Gong abandoned the army of Chen, Ye, and Dongxi, and at the same time asked Xu Guo to accompany him (mainly to sever the relationship between Xu Guo and King Chu Ling); He also sent an envoy to Zheng Guo, promising that as long as Zheng Guo watched from the wall, he could get the land of pinches and oaks.
In Chen County, after receiving the letter, Ziyan also played a set of tricks behind Chen Gong's back, inciting Chen Ren's desire to restore the country, Chen Gong was unwilling to participate in the rebellion, so he had to flee to Wu and join Gongziguang (later Wu Wang Lu). Ziyan took over the Chen army and brought the army to abandon the disease.
He united the armies of the four doctors in Gucheng and Xixian to march towards Yingdu together.
When the coalition army arrived at the northern outskirts of Yingdu, they were stationed, and at this time, Chen and Cai's heart for recovering the country became more and more impatient; The generals demanded that the Chu people fulfill their promise to dig trenches, build camp walls, and hang military flags like real princes' armies. Unable to suppress their desires any longer, he agreed to the request, but suggested: "The miscellaneous servants are very tired, so don't build a camp wall, just separate them with a fence." β
At night, the military camps of Chen and Cai were full of people and brightly lit, and the military flags of the two countries were raised again after a few years; The sound of majestic military songs echoed in the wilderness, one after another, endlessly.
At this time, Yingdu had become an undefended city, and Cai Wei opened the city gate to welcome the new king into the city. The vanguard entered the city and killed the prince and his brothers, and swept away the palace. Then the Chu people held a grand ceremony to welcome Zigan and abandon the disease into the city, and the Chu people cheered. But it is clear that they were not so much welcoming the new king as they were rejoicing at the end of the tyrant's rule.
Zigan pouted, showing an invincible appearance, and waved to the people frequently, as if he was really the new lord of the Chu State, when in fact many people didn't know him at all - they were waving to the abandonment.
