Chapter 159: Suppressing the Rebellion

Du Yunsheng put down the pen in his hand, looked up at Jiang Shaohan, and said, "Shaohan, do you mean that they may become a threat to us?"

Jiang Shaohan nodded: "That's right. Zheng Zhuoling has always had ambitions for the throne, and Du Yuwei also has a strong desire for power because of her family. If we don't guard against it, they may unite and cause harm to our Western Wei."

Du Yunsheng pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "Then what should we do? Take direct action against them?"

Jiang Shaohan shook his head: "Now is not the time. We need more evidence to prove their illegal behavior, otherwise it will only cause unnecessary civil unrest. I think we can start from the inside and secretly send confidants to investigate their movements. At the same time, we must also strengthen our own defenses."

Du Yunsheng nodded and agreed: "This is a safe approach. We can set up a new position to be responsible for intelligence gathering. This will not only strengthen internal management, but also keep abreast of external developments."

Jiang Shaohan smiled and nodded: "This is a good idea, I can arrange it immediately."

The two discussed the matter for a long time and finally worked out a detailed plan. They decided to set up a "Security Bureau" and select loyal and capable officials as the first person in charge.

Jiang Shaohan received an urgent letter from the border, reporting that the envoys of Beizhai and Nantang were making a commotion at the border, and there seemed to be signs of a large-scale troop movement. Jiang Shaohan immediately informed Du Yunsheng of this, and the two quickly summoned the civil and military officials in the court to discuss countermeasures.

In the court, Jiang Shaohan said sternly: "Everyone, we cannot take the actions of the Southern Tang lightly. Yun Sheng, what do you think we should do?"

Du Yunsheng pondered for a moment, then replied: "Shao Han, I think we should take a defensive stance and strengthen the border defenses. At the same time, send envoys to Southern Tang to find out its true intentions. We must not act rashly, so as not to trigger a meaningless war."

Jiang Shaohan nodded and agreed: "Okay, let's do as you wish. I will assign capable generals to strengthen border defenses and send envoys to Southern Tang. Everyone, we should not take it lightly and must always be vigilant against possible internal unrest."

Although Dongfang Qingye and Shangguan Liuli failed in their rebellion, their power was not completely eliminated. They secretly colluded with Zheng Zhuoling and Du Yuwei, attempting to unite the surrounding small countries to exert external pressure on the Western Wei.

Du Yunsheng pondered for a moment and said, "Shao Han, I think we should adopt a differentiation strategy and conduct diplomatic exchanges with neighboring countries to reduce the alliance of hostile forces as much as possible."

Du Yunsheng stood alone in front of the general's mansion in the cold wind, looking firmly at the distant sky. She had just escaped from a fierce struggle, and although she was exhausted physically and mentally, her eyes revealed an unyielding light.

In the study of the General Zhengxi's Mansion.

"Du Yunsheng, you are really awesome." A cold voice came from behind. It was Jiang Shaohan.

Du Yunsheng turned around and looked at Jiang Shaohan, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Shaohan, I just did what I should do."

Jiang Shaohan stepped forward, gently held Du Yunsheng's hands, and said affectionately: "Yunsheng, I deeply admire your tenacity and wisdom."

A cry of surprise broke the silence in the room: "Prince, this is bad. Zheng Zhuoling and Du Yuwei have joined forces, and the news of their rebellion has spread throughout the capital."

The guard spoke in a hurried tone, his face full of panic.

Jiang Shaohan immediately stood up, his expression grim: "When did it happen?"

"Just now, they imprisoned the old general and are now mobilizing troops and preparing to take action." The guard was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

Du Yunsheng's face darkened. She tightly grasped the military token in her hand and looked at the soldier who came to report: "How dare you take action in the general's mansion? How audacious!"

Jiang Shaohan made a quick decision: "Yun Sheng, take people to rescue the old general immediately, and I will stop Du Yuwei and Zheng Zhuoling."

Du Yunsheng nodded. She knew that the only way to turn the situation around was to stay calm. She picked up the military token and shouted to the outside of the door, "Come on, prepare the horses!"

Jiang Shaohan pondered for a moment, then said: "Yun Sheng, we need to unite the ministers in the court to stabilize the situation first. At the same time, I want to meet Zheng Zhuoling in person to see what his intentions are."

Du Yunsheng looked at Jiang Shaohan worriedly: "You have to be careful."

Jiang Shaohan smiled and touched Du Yunsheng's head: "Don't worry, I will be careful."

At the same time, at Zheng Zhuoling's mansion.

Zheng Zhuoling sat in the first seat, and Du Yuwei stood beside him with a cold look in her eyes.

"Zhuo Ling, how is our plan going?" Du Yuwei asked.

"Everything is going according to plan. As long as the emperor dies, we can take the throne in one fell swoop." Zheng Zhuoling held Du Yuwei's hand tightly.

Du Yuwei's eyes flickered. She knew that the success of this rebellion was related to whether she could get rid of Du Yunsheng's shadow and win her freedom.

"Zhuo Ling, I want to remind you that Du Yunsheng and Jiang Shaohan are not easy to deal with." Du Yuwei reminded.

Zheng Zhuoling sneered: "I know, but as long as we have the imperial power, they will not be a threat."

In the palace, the emperor urgently summoned all the ministers to discuss how to deal with this rebellion.

"My dear ministers, tell me, how should we quell this rebellion?" the emperor asked in a deep voice.

The ministers looked at each other, and no one dared to express their opinions easily.

At this time, Jiang Shaohan stood up and said, "Father, I am willing to meet Zheng Zhuoling in person to see what his intentions are."

The emperor hesitated, then nodded: "Okay, but you must be careful."

Jiang Shaohan looked at the emperor deeply, then stepped back.

Du Yunsheng was waiting outside the palace. When he saw Jiang Shaohan coming out, he immediately walked over and said, "Shaohan, you must be careful."

Jiang Shaohan smiled and touched Du Yunsheng's head: "Don't worry, I will be careful."

After Jiang Shaohan left, Du Yunsheng stood alone in the cold wind with a determined look in her eyes. She knew that this rebellion was related to her and Jiang Shaohan's future, and she must find a way to stop Zheng Zhuoling.

As night fell, Jiang Shaohan led a large number of troops holding torches, broke into Zheng Zhuoling's mansion.

Jiang Shaohan walked into the hall and looked at Zheng Zhuoling, who was sitting in the first seat, with cold eyes.

"Zheng Zhuoling, why did you betray the court?" Jiang Shaohan asked coldly.

Zheng Zhuoling smiled sinisterly: "Jiang Shaohan, I just want what I deserve. And you have always been standing in my way."

Jiang Shaohan's eyes flickered. He knew Zheng Zhuoling's methods and also knew that this conversation might be dangerous.

"Zheng Zhuoling, do you think you can succeed?" Jiang Shaohan sneered.

Zheng Zhuoling's eyes were grim: "Of course I will succeed, because I have Du Yuwei's help."

Jiang Shaohan's eyes narrowed. He knew Du Yuwei's abilities and her ambitions. He said coldly, "Do you think you can succeed so easily?"

Zheng Zhuoling sneered: "Then let's wait and see."
