What is the key to saving the Eastern Capital? It is the imperial throne.

Whether it is the military coup launched by Shandong wealthy families and powerful people in the surnames of the Legion more than 20 years ago, or the military coup launched by Han King Yang Liang nine years ago, the purpose is to fight for the imperial unity, all to fight for the power of the world, and to try to redistribute power and wealth through violent means. Therefore, the crisis is the appearance, and under the appearance is the struggle between the imperial unity, and the essence of the dispute between the imperial unity is to seek the redistribution of power and wealth.

The military and political tycoons sitting in the lobby are all people standing at the top of power. They look down at the power world in Middle-earth from top to bottom and see it thoroughly. They all know that this crisis originated from a new round of imperial unification dispute. Therefore, the key to resolving this crisis lies in the imperial unification. Both opposing sides in the crisis have to compete for the inheritance of the imperial unification, especially the party that creates the crisis may even establish and rebuild the imperial unification after a brisk break. This shows how difficult it is to save the crisis.

Yang Gongren spoke passionately and righteously, but these bigwigs had a good idea in their hearts. Yang Gongren definitely could not solve the core problem of the crisis, and could not "deadly hit". The only thing he could do was to strengthen the "defense" against the imperial unity and maintain the current pattern of the imperial unity. As long as the existing pattern of the imperial unity remains unchanged, this crisis would not cause a devastating blow to the political situation of the Eastern Capital and the situation in Zhongtu. In this way, the Holy Lord and the Central Government can win enough time to calm the crisis. In other words, Yang Gongren knew or judged that the Holy Lord and the Central Government would not give up the Eastern Expedition. He must first win the victory of the Eastern Expedition, win the absolute military and political advantage, and use the absolute military and political advantage to destroy the creators of the crisis, calm the huge crisis, and minimize the immeasurable losses caused by this crisis.

After the failure of the first Eastern Expedition, when the Holy Lord and the Central Committee made great strides to compromise with the conservative forces in the court to win their support for the second Eastern Expedition, before the Second Eastern Expedition, they must have expected that the political situation and domestic situation in the Dongdu during the Second Eastern Expedition might have changed unfavorable to them. The most serious change is a military coup with the goal of replacing the imperial regime. In order to prevent problems before they occur, they must take precautions, and the most important prevention measures are

It is a powerful person who they trust and can be recognized by the two major forces of reform and conservatism, and can play the role of a pillar or even turn the tide at critical moments. At present, it seems that this powerful person is obviously Yang Gongren. Not only does he have the extraordinary strength of the "Divine Sea Needle", he can also stay in Dongdu in the name of filial piety. In other words, even if King Yang Tong of Yue did not take the initiative to invite him to "come back", he would take the initiative to "stand up" in times of crisis.

Many "insider stories" that were limited to guessing and deducing among the senior management of Dongdu before. At this moment, with Yang Gongren's "comeback" and his meaningful words, they gradually emerged. Although the truth is still hidden in the fog, and even if the crisis is over, the "body figure" will not be exposed, at least the "outline" that the senior management of Dongdu vaguely sees the front line of their guessing and deducing very imaginative "contours" are enough. This is enough to guide the senior management of Dongdu to the direction of progress, so that they will not be at a loss or even lose themselves in the crisis.

Everyone was not talking, they all looked at Yang Gongren with a serious expression, waiting for Yang Gongren to give the answer, and they all tried to explore and deduce the direction of the future situation from Yang Gongren's decision.

"Before the Holy Lord left the Eastern Capital, he ordered the King of Yue to stay in the Eastern Capital, the King of Dai to stay in the Western Capital, and the King of Qi to suppress the rebellion." Yang Gongren finally gave the answer, "If there was no Holy Lord's edict, the King of Dai could not leave the Western Capital, and the King of Qi could not return to the Eastern Capital."

The military and political tycoons in the lobby looked at each other. Although there was no abnormal expression on their faces, they could see rich content from each other's eyes.

Sure enough, Yang Gongren had no way to resolve the current dispute over the imperial unity. He could only maintain the current dispute over the imperial unity. The current dispute over the imperial unity was "three heroes to compete for hegemony". King Yue was in the Eastern Capital, King Dai was in the Western Capital, and King Qi lived outside.

Once the Dongdu crisis breaks out, the existing battle for the imperial rule will inevitably change. The King of Yue in the Dongdu is in danger. The King of Dai in Xijing and the King of Qi who live outside will inevitably go to Dongdu in the name of rescue, and then they will be vulnerable to the Dongdu. The final result is expected. Without a winner, even if there are temporary winners, they will be scarred and vulnerable. Even a slap of the Holy Lord cannot resist. The Holy Lord is also a loser, because the Dongdu has become ruins, and the political, economic and cultural center of Middle-earth has been in name only. The Holy Lord’s decision to move the capital and the radical reform concept represented by this decision have been devastatingly hit by opposition forces. The Holy Lord can only compromise and compromise without bottom line, and use compromise to exchange for his only remaining imperial power.

In this crisis, the conservative forces in Middle-earth were the only winners. Even though they paid a huge price for it, the victory still belonged to them in the end. They destroyed the reform, controlled the government, consolidated and strengthened their vested interests. They stepped on the blood and tears of the royal family and the bodies of the reformists and laughed to the end.

The military bosses in the lobby included firm reformists, firm conservatives, and neutral fenceists. They had different interests and different decisions in this crisis. So at this moment, when Yang Gongren, who represented the Holy Lord and the royal family, decided to stick to the Dongdu and came up with a sticking strategy, their ideas were of course "rich and colorful".

Fan Zigai was very happy. He was originally weak in Dongdu and finally won the cooperation of the Yue Palace, but was immediately hit by Yang Gongren's "return". The greater the support of the royal family for the Yue King, the less he had to speak in Dongdu, and the weaker his control over the situation in Dongdu, which made him anxious. Even if Wu Benlang General Zhou Zhong led his army to the city of Dongdu and gave him strong support, it would not increase his confidence in fighting against the Yue King and the royal family. Unexpectedly, he suddenly discovered that the interests of the royal family in this crisis were exactly the same as the reformers' goal to protect Dongdu. He and Yang Gongren were in a cooperative relationship, not an opponent. His voice in Dongdu was not reduced, but increased, which made him overjoyed.

Fan Zigai was in a good mood. After a little thought, he began to cooperate with Yang Gongren and joined forces to launch a fierce "offensive" against some people with ulterior motives.

"Guan Gong, if the situation in Dongdu continues to deteriorate, not only will there be rebels outside, but even internal rebellions, the Dongdu garrison has to passively defend and stand for assistance, so that the Dongdu is in danger and seriously endangering the progress of the Eastern Expedition, then should Dongdu ask for help from the King of Dai or the King of Qi?"

"Does Dongdu need help?" Yang Gongren said expressionlessly, "The East is the capital, and its importance is self-evident. Once the Dongdu is in a crisis of survival, who dares to ignore it? Who dares to see it without a rescue? Who dares to ignore the roots of the country? Therefore, the Dai King of Xijing will come by lightning, and the Qi King far away in Qilu will also come day and night, but the Holy Lord's edict has been spread all over the world. The Dai King stays in Xijing, and the Qi King lives outside to suppress the rebellion. Without the Holy Lord's edict, the Dai King cannot leave Xijing, and the Qi King cannot return to the Dongdu. This is the bottom line of the Holy Lord, and the Dai King cannot pass it, and the Qi King cannot pass it. Once it passes, the consequences will be serious. Especially when the Dongdu is in a crisis, if the Dai King and the Qi King cross this bottom line, it will not only not alleviate the Dongdu crisis, but will completely detonate the Dongdu crisis."

Yang Gongren's words were so straightforward that they could not be more straightforward. They were so straightforward that the military and political tycoons in the lobby were dumbfounded, and even Fan Zigai felt suffocating.

Yang Gongren is a sign of "breaking up the face". No matter how bad the situation in Dongdu deteriorates, the Dai King cannot leave Xijing, and the Qi King cannot return to Dongdu. In other words, no matter at any time or under any circumstances, the Dai King and the army controlled by the local aristocratic group of Guanlong who support Dai King cannot leave Xijing, and the Qi King and the Qi army that support the Qi King cannot return to Dongdu, otherwise the consequences will be borne by themselves.

So who will support Dongdu?

Yang Gongren didn't say it, but everyone could guess the answer. The Holy Lord and the Central Master must have a "backhand". There must be troops coming to Dongdu to suppress the rebellion, such as the Jiangdu garrison army who was absolutely loyal to the Holy Lord, such as the Youyan army stationed in Zhuo County, and the Northern Frontier Army that was stationed in Zhenshu. Although these three armies are far away from Dongdu, they can reach Dongdu within a month. In other words, as long as Dongdu is held for a month, the rebellion troops from all over the country will surely flock to defeat the rebels and stabilize the situation.

Fan Zigai took two deep breaths, stabilized his emotions, and spoke again, "If the King of Dai must rush to the Dongdu and the King of Qi must suppress the rebellion in the capital, how can we stop it?"

The faces of the military and political bosses were even more ugly. Fan Zigai was trying to commit suicide. Yang Gongren had already said it bluntly, but he never uncovered the "lid" of the Dongdu crisis. Fan Zigai ignored it and directly selected the Ming Dynasty king. King Qi went to Beijing to compete for the imperial unity. What's more serious is that if King Dai and King Qi wanted to win the imperial unity, they had to cooperate with mutinies. Otherwise, in the war between Dongdu, they would not be able to conquer Dongdu with the greatest advantage in the shortest time, laying a solid foundation for the next battle against the Holy Lord. Therefore, Fan Zigai had no choice but to be a "bad person" first and uncover the most sensitive "lid". The more hidden it, the worse it was.

Yang Gongren sneered, his eyes slowly flew across the faces of everyone, and then said in an unquestionable tone, "Heavy troops guard Tongguan and Hangu Pass to strengthen the defense of the western front of the Jingji, and heavy troops guard Junyi and Xingyang to strengthen the defense of the eastern front of the Jingji."

"Kun Guan said this too late." Fan Zigai also sneered, "Wu Ben Lang General Fei Yao has led his army to withdraw from Junyi to the Dongdu, while Wu Ben Lang General Zhou Zhong has also led his army to Hangu Pass. The Weifu obviously made a wrong judgment on the situation in the Dongdu. The early decision-making has made frequent mistakes, which has led to the continued deterioration of the situation in the Dongdu. The Weifu has an unshirkable responsibility for this."

Fan Zigai took the lead in "attacking" the military and clearly supported Yang Gongren's seizure of military power.

Cui Jie followed closely behind and launched a fierce offensive to the military.

King Yang Hao of Qin cooperated tacitly and took the initiative to express his military support to the King of Yue Yang Tong.

Even the Taifu Qing Yuanwen could not help but support King Yang Tong of Yue, and his attitude and position were very critical.

After carefully weighing the pros and cons, Dugu Sheng, the left governor, resolutely made a decision and supported King Yang Tong of Yue to take control of the military power at an extremely high moment.

Zheng Yuanshou, the right guard general, argued on behalf of the military, but he was weak and outnumbered. In the end, he had to move out the right guard general Li Hun. If Li Hun supports King Yang Tong of Yue to temporarily take over the military power, he would no longer object. At this moment, Li Hun was fighting fiercely with the rebels in Xianren Palace more than a hundred miles away, and had no time to return to Dongdu, so K Yuanshou made it clear that he would slow down his troops and decided to "delay" this matter indefinitely.

Yang Gongren smiled and immediately took out his handwritten letter written by Li Hun and stamped with a seal from his arms. The content was very simple, supporting the temporary military power of King Yang Tong of Yue.
