However, analysis is one thing, and mood is another.Emotions are often independent of reason, so even though Si Wei knew that Qi Rongxiao's risk factor was not high, he still couldn't help worrying.

Not long after Qi Rongxiao left, the queen mother agreed to King An's resignation, and King An left Beijing.In mid-February, King An raised a banner in Laicheng and formally rebelled in the name of the emperor tampering with the imperial edict of the former emperor and seeking to seize the throne.

When the news reached Qingshui County, Si Wei couldn't help helping his forehead.How could King An have no brains to come up with such a lame reason?Tampering with the first emperor's imperial edict?Why didn't I find out earlier?It's not too early or too late, especially at this time when the world is stable, suddenly jumping out to break the peaceful life of the people has lost the hearts of the people.

"The reason is not important, the important thing is success!" Zhang Yi sat in Lord Hou's "ward", drinking tea and chatting with Si Wei leisurely.

Si Wei thought for a while, and nodded in agreement.There are many such things in history. As long as things are done, isn't the historian's pen still in their hands?It's just, "King An is destined to be the defeated bandit, right?" Si Wei no longer had any hope for King An's IQ, "Rong Xiao... I mean Lord Hou, have you reached the border? Is there any news?"

Zhang Yi glanced outside the door, "Master Hou? Isn't Master Hou lying on the bed? Now, no news is the best news!"

Si Wei didn't want to understand the meaning of Zhang Yi's words for a while, but when he was about to ask carefully, Zhang Yi stood up, "It's almost time, I'm at odds with Lord Hou, and Lord Hou is ill again, it's inappropriate for me to sit for a long time Cough!" Zhang Yi cleared his throat, raised his voice an octave and said, "So, Master Hou will trouble Master Fanzhi to take care of him!"

As soon as Zhang Yi said something, Si Wei could only cooperate, "I don't need General Zhang to bother you about the affairs of the common people, just walk slowly." Si Wei sent Zhang Yi away, went back to the bed and sat down, suddenly understood understood Zhang Yi's meaning.

Qi Rongxiao secretly left the Qi Mansion and rushed to the border. Outsiders only said that after being under house arrest, Lord Hou was furious and fell ill.In order to deceive others, even if Qi Rongxiao reaches the border, he can't send any information to the mansion, unless Qi Rongxiao is captured or a war starts.

Needless to say the fate of being caught, if it is the latter, it will not be good news.Because that means that Qi Rongxiao will lead his troops to the battlefield.From this point of view, as Zhang Yi said, no news is the best news.

In fact, Wang An was not as brainless as Si Weiso thought, he was fully prepared for rebellion.With his big banner, the few remaining vassal kings responded one after another.Today's emperor is majestic and powerful, but the smarter the emperor, the more worried the vassal kings are.How could someone else be allowed to snore on the side of the couch, and it was only a matter of time before the shrewd emperor got rid of them.

It was expected by the emperor that the vassal kings would send troops to help King An rebel, but he did not expect that all the vassal kings would send troops.The emperor couldn't help but cast a high glance at his half-brother.That's good, you don't have to worry about withdrawing the name of the feudal clan.But having said that, the actual situation seemed to be more critical than the emperor expected, and the fish in the neighboring country hadn't been hooked yet, so the emperor could only stand still.

The situation is on the verge of breaking out, but it has nothing to do with the people at the bottom, who are still living their small lives.When soldiers enter the city, they only need to hide at home and hide their rations.Maybe this is also a helpless move, after all, the strict household registration system makes it not so easy to flee from home.

Ordinary people can't leave their homes and escape the war, let alone Si Wei and others who were imprisoned in the Qi Mansion by soldiers from the Dragon and Tiger Camp.Fortunately, although they were grounded, Zhang Yi often "visited" the seriously ill Lord Hou and told Si Wei about the situation outside.

In mid-February, King An's soldiers and horses had already reached the outskirts of Kyoto, posing as a siege.Kyoto is sure to be prosperous.Because of the prosperity, the population is dense and there is little arable land. If King An fights a protracted war, sooner or later there will be civil strife in the capital. At that time, he can easily enter the palace and force the emperor to abdicate.King An did indeed plan this way, because he also understood that his reasons for rebellion were too far-fetched. If the emperor takes the throne, it will be much easier for him to win the hearts of the world in the future.

This seems to be safe, but it is actually risky, because the capital is under siege, the emperor will definitely send troops back to help, and King An will be attacked by the enemy.However, King An was not worried, because the vassal kings from all over the country had captured many cities and moved closer to Kyoto.

The cities that have been taken over will not send troops to the capital to serve the king, while the cities that have not been taken over will protect themselves first and dare not send troops to the capital.The capital was isolated. If the emperor wanted to protect himself, he could only call back the troops from the northern defense. However——

Sitting in the tent, King An laughed triumphantly, "Come here, send someone to send a letter to Wu Ci and other monarchs, telling them to hold back the Northern Defense Army. A city adjacent to another country will reward you. For a country that does not send troops, this king will definitely destroy his ancestral temple and extinguish his incense!"

After receiving the message from King An, several thoughtful monarchs thought that the timing was much different. Although King An was rampant and vulgar, it would be okay to cooperate for the benefit of the country.

The fish finally bit the hook, and the border war broke out.After learning that the surrounding small countries had more or less sent troops and horses, King An smiled, as if he had seen himself wearing a dragon robe and sitting high above the temple.The triumphant King An immediately sent people into the imperial capital to force the emperor to abdicate.

After listening to the words brought by the envoy, the emperor also smiled.His younger brother is really cooperative, is there any reason!The emperor stretched out his left hand to the envoy with the palm facing upwards, like the emperor's usual movements to make people flatten their bodies.The envoy standing in the center of the golden hall was confused, before he could figure out what the emperor meant, the emperor suddenly flipped his hand, and several powerful guards in iron armor entered the golden hall and subdued the envoy.

That night, fireworks exploded abruptly in the sky above the capital.Naturally, it can be seen in the anti-army barracks not far from the capital. After seeing it, King An didn't care, and said to the subordinates around him: "My brother, the emperor, has to enjoy it when he is here. Anyway, I won't be here in the future anyway." If the opportunity arises, let him see enough!"

Several staff members who noticed the difference wanted to persuade them, but King An said it first, so they couldn't say more.Soon, scouts came to report that the food and grass of the army had been burned, and the fire quickly spread to the tents.

King An couldn't figure out why this happened suddenly, since he was about to enter the imperial city, he just instinctively ordered the soldiers to put out the fire.At this time, the envoy who was sent to deliver the letter in the capital stumbled and rushed to King An, "My lord, the emperor asked me to give you a message..."

"Say!"

"The emperor said, 'Soldiers never tire of cheating'." The envoy stammered.When King An heard this, he glared at the envoy angrily.Although Wang An was very unreliable in the process of this rebellion, as one of the most beloved sons of the former emperor, he was not stupid.Therefore, as soon as the messenger's words came out of his mouth, he knew that he had fallen into the trap designed by the emperor's brother.

"What do you mean!" King An grabbed the envoy's collar.King An didn't believe it, and he didn't believe that he lost to his emperor brother again.When the first emperor didn't pass the throne to him, Wang An felt that the emperor's brother had tampered with it, otherwise why he, the most intelligent among his brothers, didn't get the throne.

"Come here, pass on this king's military order, attack the city immediately, attack the imperial city immediately!" King An's eyes were red, and he ordered madly.

According to historical records, that night, the screams and killings in the suburbs of Beijing shook the sky, and did not stop until the next morning.King An's rebellion turned at night, and the emperor quickly wiped out the main force of King An's army, rebelling against his sluggish appearance at the beginning of the rebellion.Riots also broke out in the cities occupied by the vassal kings that night. The former garrison army subdued the soldiers of the vassal kings and recaptured the city. There were few casualties among the people in the city.

Qingshui County, where the Qi Mansion is located, is located in a remote area, and has not been occupied by the rebel kings, and there is no problem of retaking it, so the entire Qingshui County, including the Qi Mansion, has not been affected by the war at all.

It's not entirely correct to say that, because not everyone in Qingshui County thinks that war is far away, for example, Si Wei.The reason why Si Wei would feel that the war is around him is that his lover Qi Rongxiao is on the battlefield and his life or death is uncertain, and the other is sitting in front of him and gossiping with him about various news related to the war.

Probably because they thought that Wang An and his team would never turn around again, and that just a few small works would not cause any big waves. Therefore, Zhang Yi no longer shy away from it, and "visiting the sick" became more attentive and longer.

From his mouth, Si Wei learned that although the situation turned around overnight, completely eliminating the rebels would not happen overnight.Although King An's main force was wiped out, he hid in the mountains with the rest of his troops, and he couldn't find out the specific location for a while.However, because the Fan Wangs showed for too long, there were not many main forces left for the battle, and Qi Yingxiao led the coalition forces to clean up without much effort.Captured three princes alive and beheaded two.

Of the six princes of the Daqing Dynasty, only King An was at large.When had Wang An, who fled into the deep mountains, been in such a mess?He was not willing to admit defeat like this, but his uncles and brothers who supported him were either killed or captured, and the only allies he could unite were a few small countries that were harassing the border.

After thinking about it, King An promised a generous gift of half of the country, as long as a few small countries lend him troops.After sending the envoy away, King An finally came to his senses and reflected on the reason for the defeat of this battle. "You tell me, where did King Qin's army come from this time? Who is leading the army?" This man is obviously no stranger to war. In a fight, he and his soldiers were completely suppressed, and there was almost no strength left to fight back.

"Reply, my lord, it seems to be General Qi Yingxiao of the Northern Defense..." A young man who looked like a school captain answered Wang An's question.

"Qi Yingxiao?" When the emperor sent troops to capture the Northern Defense General, King An was still in the capital, and he knew it was true news. From this point of view, the emperor had already discovered their intention of treason, and had already taken precautions, "Okay Well, it really is 'Soldiers never tire of cheating'!"

An Wang said three good things in a row, but he didn't know that better things were yet to come.Half of the envoys he sent to various countries did not return, and the other half were scolded and returned. "My lord, the lord of Wu Ciguo refused to borrow troops, and blamed you for giving them false news and making them twiddle their beards. Now it's too late for them to save their lives, so let you take care of yourself!"

"Fake news, when did this king release the fake news to them?" King An already had a faint premonition in his heart, this was another game set up by the emperor's brother.

Sure enough, "According to the lord of Wu Ciguo, it was Lord Qi who led the troops to defeat the coalition forces in the northern defense this time..."

"Qi Rongxiao!" Wang An gritted his teeth and said these three words.Very good, since the brothers of the Qi family are in his way, don't blame him...
