Lord of the People: Start a Super Gold Mine

Chapter 142 Civil War Breaks Out

When Nanyang and Nanli were facing each other in Yulin County, Nanyue Imperial City also officially launched a battle of wits and courage for the throne.

The three princes besieged the capital with soldiers, all dressed in linen and filial piety, clamoring to go to Beijing to attend the funeral of the old emperor.

The eldest prince Zhou Yongle took control of the court, and had already deployed layers of heavy troops in the capital, not allowing anyone to enter or leave.

"Brother, we just want to send my father off for the last time, why don't you let us go to Beijing? Could it be that you did something shameful, that's why you didn't dare to let us in?"

The second prince Zhou Yongqi stood at the foot of the imperial city, pointed at the top of the city and shouted loudly.

Beside him, Dian Wei guarded him without saying a word.

"That's right! Father's body has always been strong, so why did he die of illness for no reason? It must be you who coveted the throne and poisoned father!"

"As a son of man, how can you do something that is not as good as a pig or a dog?"

The other princes also raised their voices. Hearing Zhou Yongle on the city wall, his face was ashen, and he almost gritted his teeth and said, "As a prince, you don't want to guard the border, but dare to raise troops privately to besiege the capital. What's your plan?" , do you really think others don’t know?”

"Converting black and white, and bewitching the crowd! Everyone present knows who is the one who covets the throne!"

"I've already said that if you want to go to Beijing, there's no problem. You come in by yourself. Why, do you all want to bring hundreds of thousands of troops to the funeral of the emperor? What kind of funeral are you going to?"

Zhou Yongle was worthy of being Emperor Nanyue's favored successor, his speech was clear and well-founded, without revealing any flaws.

"Brother, if you have no ghosts in your heart, then let us in. Which is right and which is wrong? After I meet the emperor, the truth will naturally come to light. Are you planning to ambush all the brothers in the capital?"

"I also said, as long as you withdraw the soldiers and horses from the capital, I will go to the capital alone. There are only a few of us, so what do you have to worry about? You clearly have a ghost in your heart!"

Zhou Yongqi spoke in a cold voice, and his words were not at all inferior.

"Hmph, if I withdraw my troops, I'm afraid you should attack the capital, right? You are obviously forcing the palace! If you insist on killing each other, then go ahead! If you are unkind, don't blame big brother for being unrighteous!"

Zhou Yongle stood with his hands behind his back, calm and composed, as if he had expected this day long ago.

"Okay, okay! Since you don't recognize our brothers, then I have nothing to say. Brothers, we will give you another day to think about it. If you are stubborn, then don't blame the brothers Don't talk about affection!"

No one is a fool, everyone present knows that it is meaningless to tear it up like this, the winner and the loser, what the winner says, that is what it is.

So why do they still put on a show like this?
It's nothing more than an excuse to do something...

Whether this excuse is tenable or not is not important at all.

Zhou Yongle was naturally very clear about the plans of his brothers, so he didn't bother to talk nonsense in the end, and just walked away.

Next, it's time to fight the hole cards.

Several princes have been operating for many years, and the forces around them are crisscrossed. Your people may be my undercover agents, and my people may be your undercover agents, but in their respective assumptions, they must all be sure to win.

If you are not sure, you will naturally not come to the capital.

So tonight is a big show!
Back at the barracks, Zhou Yongqi gathered a group of trustworthy confidants, and said solemnly: "Brother has planted a lot of secrets around me these years, only you are my most trusted capable generals!"

"Brother is definitely going to do something tonight. Huang Yu, the captain of the Forbidden Army in the North City, is a chess piece I buried a long time ago. It is absolutely impossible to expose it. Therefore, at the third watch tonight, I want you to bring the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to escort me Enter Beijing through the north gate."

"Wei Wu, the general next to Zhou Yongkang, is also one of my people. Tonight he will directly attack Zhou Yongkang. Once he makes a move, including me, I don't know how many people around him are the secrets of others. I can trust it." , only a few of you!"

"Success or failure depends on one move! I also hope that all the lords will help you. If I succeed, you will all be servants of the dragon, and you will be rich and prosperous, needless to say!"

Bai Qi on the side listened quietly. In his plan with Jia Xu, if he could help Zhou Yongqi ascend the throne, it would be the most perfect. If he couldn't, then relatively speaking, it would be a lot of trouble. I must try my best to help Zhou Yongqi sit on that dragon chair.

The reason why Zhou Yongqi trusted him so much was because he let Zhou Yongqi go at the beginning. This trust did not come easily. He did not know how many days and nights he planned.

So this time, it was also a very crucial battle for him.

"Old Dian, let's fight in a while, you must protect the lord no matter what, and you can't make any mistakes!"

Bai Qi gave serious instructions to Dian Wei who was standing quietly by the side.

"My younger brother's bravery is unmatched in all ages! I have three younger brothers, who can hurt me? Brother Bai, don't worry!"

Zhou Yongqi smiled and said, when he subdued Bai Qi and Dian Wei, it was the happiest time in his life!
A brave and invincible general in the army, no one is his enemy, and a resourceful man, with only [-] young and old, can capture him alive under the siege of [-] troops!
Such a great talent, but he subdued two of them at once!
Moreover, with great talents like Bai Qi and Dian Wei, it is impossible for other princes to be willing to use them as dark chess. If it is really dark chess, then I don't know how many times I have died!
So he trusted the two of them very much, and got along with them with all his heart, and even made them sworn brothers with different surnames.

He thought from the bottom of his heart that with Bai Qi and Dian Wei around, if he ascended the throne, the Nanyue Kingdom would be able to expand its territory, and he would also become a generation of wise kings in the history of Nanyue!
Several people discussed for a long time, and the sky outside the window gradually darkened.

"I received a letter yesterday that the Nanyang Dynasty has captured Yulin County. Fortunately, Nanli has also sent troops. With their containment, the Nanyang Dynasty should not dare to act rashly in a short period of time."

"It's Jiang Guo, which makes people quite afraid, but with Brother Bai's ingenious plan, if Jiang Guo really dares to send troops to attack me in Jingzhou, he will definitely suffer a big loss!"

Finally, Zhou Yongqi stood up and said with a smile: "So for us, everything is ready now, and we only owe the east wind! Please, gentlemen, act on your own!"

"Here!"

Several confidantes clasped their fists and left separately.

Moon Black Wind High Killing Night!

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, and it is also destined to be a bloody night!
At three o'clock, around the Nanyue Imperial City, there was a burst of shouting and killing decisively.

This is true both inside and outside the imperial city!
The princes played all their cards, and hundreds of thousands of troops started a scuffle almost at the same time!
The low-level soldiers couldn't tell who was the enemy and who was the friend, so they could only follow their generals closely, and whoever the general told them to fight, they would fight!
Of the four city gates, three were directly opened!
In the darkness, only countless torches and human figures could be seen moving. The entire imperial city was filled with the sound of screams and screams, like a ghost town.
