Chang An agreed. “Chang Ningbo is indeed capable.”

As Chang Ningbo was going to set off with the army, he had to investigate his life carefully.

At this moment, Yu Youyao thought of her cousin. If the person talking to her now was her cousin, she would only say 30%, and her cousin would understand.

However, on careful thought, it made sense!

Yin Huaixi was the only one in the world who was unique.

Yu Youyao calmed herself down and continued, “Look, even you agree with

Chang Ningbo. Think about it carefully. One is an old general who has been

through hundreds of battles and is famous. The other is a young heir who’s only 15 years old. He’s crippled and sick. He can’t even go to the battlefield and can only guard the back. If he wins this battle, as the main general) Cousin will definitely be famous, but in terms of contributions, do you think Cousin can compare to Chang Ningbo? i ‘

Everyone would only see the people in front of them.

Compared to her cousin, who was weak in every way, Chang Ningbo, who had been through hundreds of battles, was more in line with others’ hopes for victory. The rebellion army entered Shandong and did not move for a few months.

The court was already filled with doubts. Even the people who had originally supported Yin Huaixi gradually changed their minds.

If the battle in Shandong was won, everyone would naturally think that Chang Ningbo had won the battleo

Chang An understood. “We have to take advantage of the fact that the outcome of the battle in Shandong hasn’t been decided to publicize how smart Young Master is. The credit and influence of this battle will belong to Young Master alone.” Young Miss’s brain was really impressive, not inferior to Young Master’s. Chang An looked at Yu Youyao with admiration. “Then what’s the third reason?

Yu Youyao said calmly, “After Prince You’s rebellion, what next?”

This time, Chang An’s mind came to life. He quickly said, “Of course it’s to restore the ancestral temple. The old king is already dead, so Young Master should inherit the title of king.”

Yu Youyao smiled. “You have to know that once Cousin inherits the royal title, it means that he has to inherit 300,000 troops from Youzhou at the same time to guard Youzhou. However, according to the current situation, there are still variables in this matter. Whether he inherits it or is conferred another title is up to the emperor. What we need to do is to let everyone in the world understand that Cousin has the ability to control the military and Youzhou.”

Chang An was slightly stunned. “By writing a book?”

Yu Youyao smiled. “Cousin must have made arrangements too. I don’t have to do anything else to avoid complicating matters. It’s enough to show others that war depends on brains, not martial strength. A crippled leg is nothing.

Since ancient times, there have been countless civil servants leading troops. Civil servants are weak. How can they go to the battlefield?”

She wanted to dispel the world’s prejudice against her cousin’s “disabled leg.” Chang An was enlightened again.

Yu Youyao continued, “Li Shimin led the army at the age of 14, and Huo Qubing led the army at the age of 17. Since ancient times, there have been many young generals leading the army. Cousin went to the battlefield at the age of 12 to resist the Di people and turned the tide. That was why he laid the foundation for the victory in the battle in Youzhou. At the age of 15, he led the army to suppress Li Qiguang of Shandong, who did not even dare to lead troops and did not hesitate to use an excuse to refuse the battle. How can such achievements not be compared to the famous generals of ancient times?

She also had to dispel the world’s prejudice against her cousin’s young age.

The prejudice of the world would be broken. Cousin would then inherit the title of king and control the army. You Prefecture would become everyone’s hope. Coupled with Cousin’s arrangements, everything was logical.

Chang An was not smart but he was efficient. He did his best to do what he was instructed to do.

In just a few days!

Yin Huaixi’s actions in Shandong had been written into a book and spread throughout the capital.

In the various restaurants and teahouses, the storytellers were all telling stories about the heir of King You, Yin Huaixi. He was like his father, and was wise enough to fight Li Qiguang from Shandong.

The wind in the capital often represented the wind in the world.

When Yu Youyao heard Chang An’s report, she used the excuse of practicing calligraphy and not wanting to be disrupted to get Chang An to secretly bring her out of the residence to a restaurant on Chang An Street.

It was noon, and the hall of the restaurant was filled with people from all walks of life.

Yu Youyao put on men’s clothes and disguised herself as the young master of a wealthy family in the capital. She handed a token to the manager of the restaurant. When the manager saw that it was a token from the Yu Residence, he quickly nodded and bowed. “So it’s from the Yu Residence. Our restaurant will reserve the best private room for you. Please follow me.”

Yu Youyao only nodded and did not say anything.

The manager of the restaurant welcomed her in. She was also knowledgeable. It was not easy for her to disguise herself as a man, so it couldn’t be said that she was a man or a woman. However, as soon as she opened her mouth, she was afraid that she would be exposed. She would not cause any trouble in her own restaurant. However, in order to avoid trouble, it was best not to expose herself.

Chang An, who was disguised as Yu Youyao’s servant, nodded. “Thank you for leading the way.”

The private room was decorated elegantly. Sitting on the terrace, one could see everything below.

The storyteller, who was in his forties, was at a long table. He held the wooden stick in his hand and stroked his beard as he said, “Speaking of which, King You’s case caused resentment in the world. Li Qiguang of Shandong even publicly launched a large-scale rebellion in Shandong in the name of enforcing justice on behalf of the heavens. It’s reported that countless people died in the rebellion…

The storyteller was very eloquent and knew the essence of suppression before promotion.

First, Li Qiguang started a rebellion, and none of the generals in the entire dynasty dared to lead their troops into battle. The original Marquis of Weining was now refusing to fight even if he had to offend the emperor.

The storyteller slammed the wooden stick and raised his voice. “Why is that?!” In just five words, he immediately had the rhythm of a storyteller.

Immediately, a martial artist asked loudly, “What kind of motley crew is this? There have been many rebellions in the Great Zhou Dynasty in the past. Every time, if it weren’t for the arrival of the Imperial Court’s cavalry, this motley crew would have scattered like birds and beasts.”

Someone immediately chimed in

“That’s right. They’re just a motley crew. There are many generals in the Imperial Court who are good at war. Why can’t they do anything to Li Qiguang?

“Is Li Qiguang really that powerful? Even those experienced old generals in the court don’t dare to fight?”

“Could there be something unusual in Shandong?

“Bam—” Another shocking slap, and the entire hall was silent.

The storyteller did not keep him in suspense anymore. “If you want to know the situation in Shandong, listen to me in detail. Speaking of this, you have to trace it back to the time when the world of the Great Zhou was still uncertain…”

The storyteller had personally described an expedition when Emperor Gaozu suppressed the Eastern Barbarians and pacified Shandong. He had moved the people who had been displaced by the war to Shandong and started a benevolent governance to encourage farming. When it came to those who could survive the war, which one of them wasn’t a ruthless person?

The complicated clan situation in Shandong was formed under the background of the various races living together..
