The second year of Kaiping of the Daliang Empire (908).

Wei Fufeng celebrated the New Year in Changsha Prefecture and set off for Jiangning on the 16th day of the first lunar month.

At the end of the year, Yangzhou Military Palace.

Yang Wo gained the freedom to restrict him, left the study to reunite with his relatives, and met with envoys from all over the country who came to pay New Year's greetings.

The officials and family members in Yangzhou City routinely went to the back house of the military mansion to wish Mrs. Shi a happy new year.

The Yang family has survived the ordinary year, and on the surface it is still the leader of Yangzhou.

On the 18th day of the first lunar month, Yang Wo, who was locked in the study, looked at the roof in a daze.

Suddenly, the door suddenly opened, and Ji Xiang walked in with his eight subordinates.

Yang Wo suddenly stood up and asked uneasily: "Why are you here?"

Ji Xiang replied: "I'm ordered to kill you."

Yang Wo's face changed drastically, and he blurted out in fear: "Why don't you serve me? I will give you the governor, and I will give you the general to the general."

Ji Xiang was unmoved when he heard this. The eight subordinates who followed him were moved and looked at Ji Xiang.

They are reluctant to kill the king, and the risks are high and the rewards are no.

Ji Xiang sneered: "Do you think this idiot can admit it afterwards?"

The soldiers immediately turned cold. Yang Wo's actions were not worth betting.

"You can't kill me. If you kill me, the Huainan army outside will not spare you." Yang Wo shouted in horror.

Ji Xiang waved his hand and the soldiers rushed over.

Yang Wo ran away in horror, and was grabbed by the soldiers' arms and legs, so he could not break free.

Ji Xiang had an extra rope in his hand, walked over and wrapped around Yang Wo's neck, and said coldly: "I'll leave a complete body for the king."

"Ji Xiang, don't kill me. I really give you the position of governor. I will let you serve as the governor of Shouzhou and command the Huaihe military." Yang Wo begs for mercy in fear.

Ji Xiang said coldly: "I'm really insincere. You promised to be an official in Yangzhou. How much can I believe it so I can leave."

Yang Wo hurriedly said, "I'll let you be the governor of Yangzhou, ah,..."

Ji Xiang strangled Yang Wo to death with his own hands and ordered him to place it on the couch. The group left the study and closed it and continued to guard it.

Until someone came to deliver the meal in the kitchen, Yang Wo, who was shouting that he couldn't get up to the couch.

The soldiers came in and pretended to check, and then hurriedly called the doctor.

The doctor concluded that the king died of excessive drinking.

The Yangzhou Military Prefecture announced that the king died of illness and summoned the generals to attend the king's funeral.

The civil and military officials inside and outside Yangzhou City must come to pay their respects to mourn.

Zhu Jin has been out of the matter and has to go to Yangzhou Military Mansion after receiving the notice.

There are spiritual banners hanging in the Yangzhou Military Palace, and there are many soldiers inside and outside the palace, full of murderous intent.

Zhu Jin saw a group of hundreds of soldiers standing dozens of meters away.

The guards of the mansion told him that Zhu Jin could only go in.

Zhu Jin ordered the four personal guards to stay outside the mansion.

In the military palace, dozens of civil and military officials gathered in the open space outside the mourning hall.

Most people have no expression on their faces, and a few people show uneasiness.

Zhang Hao stood on the doorstep with his back facing the mourning hall, and shouted: "Who should preside over the Jiedu Mansion after the king died of illness?"

Dozens of civil and military officials looked at each other, some looking at high-ranking figures, including Zhu Jin.

Zhu Jin looked at his nose with expressionless face, and he looked out of the matter.

He was a foreign military general and lacked the qualification to become the governor of Huainan.

Zhang Hao asked loudly again: "Who should preside over the Jiedu Mansion when the king died of illness?"

Dozens of civil and military officials were silent one by one.

Some people secretly scold Zhang Hao for being idiots, you want to take charge of the Huainan Army and find some support in advance.

No one expressed his opinion. Zhang Hao was so embarrassed that he drew his sword in his hand and said angrily: "The king died of illness. Who should preside over the Jiedu Mansion?"

When dozens of civil and military officials saw that Zhang Hao was about to get angry, turned his head to watch each other, hoping that someone would stand up.

Suddenly, the judge Yan Keqiu walked out and stopped bowing respectfully: "Stop the anger, the lord has made outstanding achievements and is qualified to take charge of the Yangzhou Military Mansion, but it is not advisable to be too hasty."

Zhang Hao glared and said, "This army is qualified, why are you talking too fast?"

Yan Keqiu said: "Adminton becomes the governor of Huainan. If there are many people outside Yangzhou, they will be unsubmissive. Once they come to Yangzhou together, they will be unable to support themselves."

Zhang Hao stared at Yan Keqiu angrily, and was striking with a sharp knife.

Yan Keqiu took a step back and bent down and said humbly: "Adults should be appointed as the chief assistant to avoid the civil war in the Huainan Army."

Zhang Hao frowned and even established Yang Xingmi's son. If he killed Yang Wo, it would be like he did useless work.

Yan Keqiu turned around and said, "Everyone, we support the king's brothers and support Lord Zhang Hao to assist in the judging of the Yangzhou Military Office."

Dozens of officials immediately responded more than a dozen times, and then almost everyone nodded.

Zhu Jin nodded with the flow, and there was no need to attract Zhang Hao's murderous intent.

Zhang Hao was immediately passive and psychologically felt that Yan Keqiu's reasoning could not have a civil war in the Huainan Army.

Zhang Hao agreed.

Yan Keqiu said respectfully: "Please tell me, and I will go and ask Mrs. Shi, who succeeded the throne."

Zhang Hao waved his hand and said, "You go and ask, don't forget our army's assistant to judge the military affairs."

Yan Keqiu left and went to the back house, feeling cold and exhausted from his back, which was really a life-long encounter.

Xu Wen and Yan Keqiu did not expect that Zhang Hao would propose to become the governor of Huainan at the funeral. He was simply a fool who didn't know how much he was.

Yan Keqiu cannot let Zhang Hao continue to be stupid.

Zhang Hao became the governor of Huainan, and the "princes" outside Yangzhou came to Yangzhou with justification.

Yan Keqiu met Mrs. Shi and explained his purpose.

Mrs. Shi’s pain of losing her son, responded fearfully: “We give up Zhang Hao, just to leave safely.”

Yan Keqiu said: "The Grandma must not be given up. Zhang Hao is legitimate to become the governor of Huainan. He will inevitably destroy the family. Only by occupying the orthodox and following Zhang Hao can he overcome the crisis."

Mrs. Shi was at a loss and could only follow Yan Kexue.

Yan Keqiu took the eleven-year-old Yang Longyan away and returned to the mourning hall to inform the grandma that Zhang Hao was allowed to take charge of the military affairs.

Zhang Hao brought the officials to visit and decided to set up a new king, Huainan Jiedushi.

After the scene, dozens of officials left the military palace after surviving the disaster.

Yan Keqiu chased out of the military palace, called Zhu Jin, and said, "Sir, the deputy commander of the Huainan Army, should not indulge the treacherous and slandered in the military palace of Yangzhou."

Zhu Jin replied: "My deputy governor is just leading troops to expeditions and cannot interfere with the military and political affairs of Yangzhou. I only obey the military orders of the Yangzhou Military Office."

Yan Keqiu sighed: "Sir, I'm watching coldly. Who else can dare to make trouble?"

Zhu Jin sneered in his heart and said calmly: "I was sixteen years old and I was leaping on the horse and never feared the charge. Today, I dared not speak out when facing Zhang Hao. Only then did I realize that my own bravery is not as brave as the judge."

Yan Keqiu heard the sarcasm and said without changing his expression: "Sir, should make things right."

Zhu Jin said: "I am a foreigner and I am not pleased with you inside and outside. There is no need for the judge to waste my words."

After Zhu Jin said that, he left, Yan Ke asked for hope to see him off.

Zhu Jin is a variable weight and has a great influence on the horse army outside the city.

Yan Ke asked to return to the military palace. When he saw Zhang Hao, he respectfully said: "From the future, his subordinates obey the Lord."

Zhang Hao said: "Well, listen, Xu Wen was transferred to the position of governor of Runzhou, Ji Xiang served as commander of the Right Yai, and immediately execute the documents."

Yan Keqiu was surprised and said respectfully: "I obey the order."

Zhang Hao nodded with satisfaction.

Yan Keqiu said again: "The king is still stopping the coffin. Lord Xu is familiar with the funeral. It is better to come to the military palace to attend the funeral and go to Runzhou after being buried."

Zhang Hao hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes, Xu Wen is responsible for the funeral, and Ji Xiang takes over the commander of the right yamen."

Yan Keqiu left, returned to the judge's office, wrote the official document of serving as the governor of Runzhou, and sent it to Xu Wen first.

One hour later, the official documents served as commander of the Right Yai were printed and sent out.

Ji Xiang received the official document of office.

Zhang Hao said: "You are now going to work at the Right Yai."

Ji Xiang said: "My subordinates should protect the Lord and do not rush to serve in the Right Yai."

Zhang Hao said: "Only after you control the Right Yai, my army can feel at ease. Xu Wen is a treacherous guy, my army is worried that something will happen."
