Among the nine states in the north of Xia, only Qingzhou and Xingzhou have not been canonized. They are under the direct control of the court and can mobilize troops at any time.

However, there are princes in other states, such as the Long family in the north and Jin Chengye in Jeju in the northwest. These people have independent autonomy, but they may not buy it.

This is the most troublesome thing for the old emperor. He enfeoffed too many princes in the past, and now they are too big to be controlled. He can only exchange interests.

"Yunshan, the king of Yunzhou, may not obey orders because of the matter of Concubine Yun. Don't consider him."

Yunshan, the king of Yun, inherited the title of King of Yun for less than ten years. He is over 40 years old and is in his prime.

Zhang Lan, the daughter of the prime minister Zhang Lun, who later became Concubine Yun, was Yunshan's fiancée, but the old emperor was obsessed with it and ordered Zhang Lan to be taken away.

Moreover, for some reason, he even gave her the name Yun Fei. This was a great shame and humiliation in Yunshan's eyes. It was unexpected that he did not rise up directly.

It was also from that time that Yunzhou and Xia Kingdom had completely parted ways. The big and small things of Xia Kingdom had nothing to do with Yunzhou.

In recent years, Yunzhou has been preparing for war and working hard to govern the country. It was just short of directly rebelling. Now, when Zongzhou is in trouble, Yunshan cannot get involved. Even if he goes, he is afraid that he will go to grab territory.

The old emperor is very clear about this. Naturally, he cannot count on Yunzhou, let alone order troops to be dispatched to Yunzhou to give Yunshan the opportunity to grab territory.

Once Yunzhou becomes powerful, it will definitely rebel.

"Your Majesty, Yunzhou cannot be used now, Qingzhou cannot be used, and we can only rely on the northern border. Only the northern border can send troops to quell the rebellion the fastest."

"At the same time, we quickly mobilized the army of Xingzhou to rush to Zongzhou, and the situation can still be under control."

Taiwei Su Jingshan introduced while pointing to the map.

Yunzhou dare not use it, Qingzhou is too busy to take care of itself. Now Qingzhou is suffering from severe famine, and people are already complaining. Once the army is transferred, something might happen.

From the map, the only one who is close to Zongzhou and capable of resolving the rebellion is Long Tian in the northern border. Even if the northern border cannot directly suppress the rebellion, at least it can temporarily control the situation and buy time for the court to dispatch troops.

After talking about it, it comes to Long Tian in the northern border again.

If Long Dao was still there, he would have asked for permission to send troops to suppress the rebellion long ago, but now, Long Tian is the one who makes the decision in the northern border. In his memorial, this guy didn't even mention the affairs of Zongzhou, and it is obvious that he doesn't want to get involved.

Of course, Long Tian knows about the affairs of Zongzhou, and even Xiang Yu is on the border between the northern border and Zongzhou. However, Long Tian has just dealt with the affairs within the northern border, and there is no benefit, so Long Tian naturally doesn't want to get involved in this muddy water.

The ministers were also thinking about this matter. Yunzhou and Qingzhou were not possible. Zhangzhou and Jizhou were far away. The army had to pass through Yunzhou and the northern border. If these two states did not allow them to pass, they could not pass.

Only Xingzhou could send troops through Qingzhou to reach Zongzhou directly, but the journey was long and the army needed a lot of preparations. I am afraid that it would not be enough time.

It seems that this matter can only be handed over to Long Tian in the northern border. However, Long Tian is still questioning Long Dao's death. Will he send troops?

"Your Majesty, it just so happens that the Northwest King Jin Chengye has requested an imperial decree to confer the title of Long Tian. Why not use this as a condition to let Long Tian send troops? As long as Long Tian performs well in this battle and successfully suppresses the rebellion, he will inherit the title of the Northern King."

"The title of the Northern King is hereditary. If it is always dragged on, it will not be a good thing. It is better to take this opportunity to go with the flow. It can also be regarded as giving face to Jin Chengye. Jin Chengye may even send troops to Zongzhou."

"If Long Tian goes to Zongzhou and is defeated and fails to make achievements, he will naturally not be qualified to inherit the title of the Northern King. Others can't say anything. We can even take the opportunity to cancel the title of the Northern King and take back the fiefdom."

Grand Guardian Lu Qing stood up at this time. The matter of Zongzhou must be resolved, and quickly, otherwise the momentum of the rebellion cannot be suppressed. If someone follows suit, it will be more troublesome.

More importantly, the rebellion in Zongzhou is obviously wrong. The old emperor will not be at ease if the matter is not investigated clearly. This matter must be resolved as soon as possible.

Lu Qing's method can be said to kill two birds with one stone. I believe that Long Tian will not give up the title of Northern King, so he must fight. Anyway, it is not the power of the court that is lost.

Whether it wins or loses, the court will not lose.

Even if Long Tian succeeds in the end, the court will only lose a title of king, which originally belonged to him.

"I second the proposal. The method of the Grand Guardian is feasible."

Su Jingshan immediately supported it. If the rebellion is not quelled, he will be under the greatest pressure.

"Your Majesty, this plan is feasible, and Your Majesty can order Long Tian to take his cavalry, so that the troops can be dispatched quickly without affecting the border defense of the north."

At this time, Tai Shi Lin Jinnan also stood up and even set a trap for Long Tian.

They all got detailed information about the power of heavy armored cavalry. If they did so,On the surface, it does not affect the border of the North, but in fact, it consumes Long Tian's strongest force.

Moreover, the Tianlong Guard has only 10,000 people, and it is afraid that it will not be of much use if it goes to Zongzhou. Long Tian is likely to do nothing, and he can take the opportunity to clean up the North in the future.

"Draft an edict to order Long Tian to lead 10,000 heavy armored cavalry to quell the rebellion in Zongzhou and set off immediately. If he wins this battle, he can inherit the title of King of the North."

The old emperor had no other choice but to agree.

So, the imperial edict ordering Long Tian to send troops to quell the rebellion and the imperial edict to appoint Fan Li as the governor of Beizhou rushed to the North together.

Long Tian was in a good mood these days. The military and political power was taken back, and the city guards began to train in turns. The effect was good and the strength was significantly improved.

Moreover, Huanyou Mansion sent someone, an eloquent elder, who expressed his apology and gave 200,000 taels of gold, and took the fourth elder and Youtian away.

Long Tian did not expect Huanyou Mansion to give in so quickly. With money to be made, Long Tian did not embarrass them and released them directly.

Huanyou Mansion is strong, but its four elders were easily left behind. There are only a few people in Huanyou Mansion who are stronger than the four elders. They dare not and are unwilling to take risks again.

Moreover, Long Tian did not kill anyone, which can be said to be giving enough face. If he pushed him hard, the lives of Youtian and the others might not be saved. If they fought to the death, Huanyou Mansion was not sure.

It was just 200,000 taels of gold, which was nothing to Huanyou Mansion and the Northern Territory. They just took advantage of the situation to avoid further escalation of the fight.

You know, Huanyou Mansion has many enemies, and a grandmaster cannot afford to lose.

This matter was just understood so hastily. As for what will happen in the future, who can say for sure?

"Your Highness, there is news about Long Qi and Long Ba."

Just when Long Tian was leisurely and contented, Cao Zhengchun brought new news.

These two people have been missing, alive or dead. Long Tian has been looking for them since he returned to Zhenbei City, but there has been no news of them. Now, he finally has some news.
