Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 119 Five Kings in Trouble
Afterwards, although Lu Zheng came back, he had nothing to do with the General Security Department anymore.

He now works for Gu Wenhui, who is now a trusted aide to the Fifth Prince. His status is not low, and even the county magistrate has to be polite when he sees him.

The news of the fifth prince entering the county city soon caused a stir in Donglai County, and then the news quickly spread to nearby states and counties.

For a while, the county governors were verifying the accuracy of the news while watching how the situation would develop.

And soon, the fifth prince made a big move.

He openly revealed the shocking secret and spread it widely, claiming that the third prince in the imperial capital was the most evil person!
It was the third prince Chu Yan who plotted to murder the crown prince, violated the old emperor's edict, and framed him. He then wanted to kill the other four princes, including him, just to allow himself to ascend the throne and become emperor.

The Third Prince's position as Crown Prince is not legitimate and his crime is unforgivable. The Dahan Dynasty must not fall into his hands.

He called on the world to attack the third prince Chu Yan!
This incident meant that the Fifth Prince had completely broken off with his elder brother, no longer concealing his feelings, and was determined to fight to the death.

He was madly testing when the Third Prince in the imperial capital would lose his patience.

And just after the Fifth Prince stood up, a few days later, the remaining three princes who were driven out of the imperial capital did not remain silent, but responded to what the Fifth Prince said in their respective territories.

They listed the crimes committed by the Third Prince one by one.

When a prince said this, his voice might not be loud.

But the four princes who fled all spoke out and used their respective influence. They stood on a united front on this matter.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, the direction of public opinion has changed.

The situation became increasingly unfavorable to the Third Prince, and more and more people talked about the matter, saying that the Third Prince had obtained the throne by illegal means, and that he was a patricide and fratricide.

After all, the third prince has not yet become emperor, so how can one person compete with the four princes working together to create momentum.

The original fight for the throne was only between the six princes, with few other variables.

But now, for some unknown reason, as if there is an invisible force pushing things forward, the fight for the throne has become something that everyone in the world can participate in.

Many righteous men in the martial arts world responded to the call of the four princes and joined their camp, greatly enhancing their strength.

At the same time, some civilian forces also secretly recruited troops in various places under the banner of these princes.

Even some villages, towns, and even county towns broke out in riots one after another. Under the pretext of righteousness, they overthrew the local government rule!

To sum it up in one word: chaos!

The world is becoming more and more chaotic and out of control.

Some people are heartbroken, while others are overjoyed and excited.
The Third Prince, who was feeling very proud in the imperial capital, probably had not expected that the four brothers whom he had defeated would join hands immediately after escaping from the imperial capital and set off such a frenzy among the people.

"Bastard, bastard!" Chu Yan kicked over the porcelain vase ornaments placed beside him, furious.

"Send troops to suppress these rioters. Bring those four bastards to me. I will make them regret going against me!"

The prime minister standing by frowned slightly when he saw that the third prince was so impatient.

The Third Prince used to be meticulous and calm, but now that he has won this crucial battle for the throne, his temperament has changed a bit.

He has not yet proclaimed himself emperor, but he has already been impatient to call himself that.

After thinking about it, the Prime Minister bowed and also mentioned Your Majesty.

"Your Majesty, the current plan requires you to ascend the throne as soon as possible, otherwise the troops in this world will not be able to move."

"Yes, the Prime Minister is right. I want to become emperor immediately and can't wait any longer!" Chu Yan nodded.

In fact, he couldn't wait to sit on the dragon throne in the court.

However, the enthronement of a new emperor is no joke. Such a major imperial event concerns the future destiny of the country, so the most appropriate day of the year must be chosen for the enthronement ceremony.

The normal process of ascending the throne is cumbersome, lengthy, solemn and serious, and the preparation alone takes several months.

"In three days, I will ascend the throne! And then I will send out my troops!"

Chu Yan quickly sent out an order from the palace, and people from all parties had to take emergency action.

Some officials also submitted memorials to the emperor, advising him that this move was inappropriate, but the Third Prince would not listen to them.

If we delay any longer, the world will be in chaos!
Whose world is this? This is his world!
Three days later, the third prince Chu Yan ascended the throne as he wished and became the 22nd emperor of the Dahan Dynasty, and announced it to the world.

However, this move did not win the hearts of the people over. Instead, it added fuel to the fire and sparked even greater rebellious sentiment.

The four princes outside the court took the lead in denying the third prince's imperial legitimacy and wanted to raise an army to fight against the court now ruled by the third prince.

Before the imperial court sent troops, they took the initiative and began to attack and occupy the surrounding states and counties that did not submit to them, and incorporated them into their own territory.

The fifth prince in Donglai County acted the fastest. Under the instigation of Gu Wenhui, he sent troops to attack the surrounding Nanyang, Qijiang and Yongkang counties early on.

The soldiers under the banner of the imperial family seemed to be born with a strong aura of invincibility, and they were unstoppable against the county and prefecture soldiers. Later, the name of the fifth prince became more and more famous, and the number of people under his command increased, and the counties and prefectures surrendered one after another.

By October, the six surrounding counties had been captured one by one, and the fifth prince's yellow dragon flag was hung on the city walls.

Afterwards, the Fifth Prince moved to the richer and safer Nanyang County City and made it the main city under his influence.

From then on, the Fifth Prince finally had the initial capital to confront the imperial court.

And when he still wanted to expand his territory and influence, he finally received troops dispatched by the imperial court.

The war between kings finally broke out!

Not only the Fifth Prince, but the other three princes also fought against the imperial troops one after another.

For a time, war broke out throughout the Dahan Dynasty and unrest intensified.

The world is in chaos!

Donglai County City, Chunfeng Garden.

"This period of the Five Kings' chaos will probably leave a deep mark in the history books." Lu Gang said after drinking a glass of warm wine.

"In this case, we can be said to be witnessing history," Song Changming said, shaking his head as he looked at the heavy snow outside the window.

Even though it is winter now, the flames of war across the vast land have never stopped.

Now that the Dahan Dynasty is divided into five parts, the mainstream still recognizes that the court located in the imperial capital Yunling City is the power center of the Dahan Dynasty and the place where the imperial power resides.

However, as the war intensified, the imperial court was unable to pacify the four "pseudo-kings" who also had imperial blood and were scattered among the people. It was unknown how long this mainstream perception would last.

The longer it drags on, the less popular support this new emperor will gain.

"This kind of thing has happened in the past, but..." Liang Chuanshan picked up the stewed meat and put it into his mouth while speaking.

Soft and delicate taste, full of meaty aroma.

During the nearly thousand-year-old Dahan Dynasty, internal strife broke out more than once.

Moreover, these chaos were caused by the princes with imperial blood at the time of transition from the old to the new.

However, those civil unrests will soon be quelled, and then the new king will ascend the throne and the people will pay homage to him, and then we will enter a new era of peace.

The biggest difference this time is that after escaping from the imperial capital, the four princes quickly gained a foothold.

He quickly acquired a large number of military forces from the people and became an independent prince, able to compete with the real new emperor.

As a result, not only would the new emperor's prestige suffer a severe blow, but the most terrifying thing would be that he would gradually lose the support of the people.

"There's no use thinking so much. So far, this is still the imperial family's business. Let's fight. I just hope that it won't come to our county town." Liang Chuanshan took a mouthful of meat and a sip of wine before continuing.

"Yes, right now, the most troublesome thing for me is those so-called righteous men in the martial arts world. They are idle in the city and do all kinds of shameful things under the pretext of surrendering to the Fifth Prince!
The fifth prince wanted to maintain his reputation as a courteous and humble person, which made it difficult for us to arrest him or not, and he was very angry. "When Lu Gang talked about this, his face became unhappy.

Liang Chuanshan also shook his head repeatedly. It seemed that the two directors of the Patrol Armor Division were quite troubled by this matter.

The war was still far away from them and they didn't need to worry about it, but now there were problems with the public security in the city they were responsible for, so it was all their responsibility.

"The director general has already reported this matter to the county governor. I think there should be results soon," said Song Changming.

"This is great. We should really catch all those unqualified people who are trying to take advantage of the situation. They are an eyesore," Lu Gang complained.

"He really deserves to be arrested." Song Changming said.

In fact, he had encountered these so-called chivalrous men disturbing the order several times in Jinxiu Street, and he would basically show no mercy to those who deserved to be arrested.

Even if the higher-ups blame him, nothing will happen to him as long as Zhuang Ren is here.

“By the way, speaking of this, there is one more thing. I heard that the Fifth Prince recently accepted the surrender of the Dinghai Sea Gang, and now they are allowed to move into the port of Luolongjiang.

I have an acquaintance working for the Caoyunsi, and I heard that they have had several conflicts with the Dinghai Sea Gang." Liang Chuanshan said.

Song Changming shook his head and felt helpless after hearing this.

This was a big deal. The county magistrate and government had spent a lot of effort to drive away the Dinghai Sea Gang and started to develop their own water transport department.

Now that the fifth prince had accepted the other party's surrender, he brought the water gang back as soon as he gave the order.

What about the efforts of the government before this?

At that time, Song Changming was also involved. He knew that the Dinghai Sea Gang was difficult to deal with and had a long-standing grudge with the local government of Donglai County. Many people died on both sides. It was impossible to completely resolve the grudge, and neither side would be in a good mood.

I am afraid that the conflict with the Dinghai Sea Gang will become more and more intense in the future.
