Chapter 197: Chapter 54: The Restoration of the Yan, the whole country is shocked, responses from all directions, Shanhaiguan is broken.
On the first day of the twelfth month, the sky was clear.
As winter arrived, the cold winds swept across the land, causing the temperature to plummet throughout Xia Country.
Snowflakes fluttered in a few northern counties and states. As for Nanyu Prefecture, this day was destined to be extraordinary.
“Clip-clop!”
Early in the morning, fast horses galloped on the official roads, attracting the attention of the locals.
The entire government office was surrounded by a large number of soldiers. Those who approached the area were unaware of what was happening inside.
“What are you trying to do?!”
In the main hall, bearing the plaque “Justice and Integrity,” the governor of Nanyu Prefecture looked at the rows of soldiers advancing and was panic-stricken.
“If the governor had been a bit more submissive, perhaps he could have saved his life.”
The governor’s judge, dressed in a green robe, spoke casually.
“Mr. Xu, what do you mean by this?”
The former top official, the governor, saw his trusted officers and clerks standing aside.
All of his subordinates, who used to greet him with smiles, were now expressionless.
He didn’t know what to do, so he pointed his finger and yelled:
“Rebellious, all of you are rebellious! Aren’t you afraid of being punished by the emperor?”
The judge remained unmoved, calmly saying, “Now that Nanyu Prefecture is under the rule of the Yan, there’s no such thing as punishment.”
Yan Country…
The governor of Nanyu Prefecture was instantly stunned.
Upon realizing the course of events, his expression turned furious, he clenched his teeth and cursed:
“Remnants of the Yan Country, despicable survivors!”
“Your actions are treason!”
The governor’s reaction was intense, but to those around him, it was merely a laughable act.
“Rebellion? Against whom?”
The young judge smiled faintly.
“This has always been Yan territory. How can it be called a rebellion? Yan is merely reclaiming what rightfully belongs to them.” “If there is a rebellion, then it should be Xia rebelling against the Yan.” The governor of Nanyu Prefecture, red-faced, retorted:
“The Yan had lost the support of the people, and it was only right for their country to perish! The founding of Xia was in accordance with the Heavenly Mandate, and your actions are usurping it!”
The young judge replied, “Is the current Xia really so popular among the people? Moreover, the Yan Country never claimed to act according to the Heavenly Mandate during its 500-year rule, so why is Xia making such remarks?”
Upon hearing this, the governor of Nanyu Prefecture was at a loss for words.
Seeing that he couldn’t win the argument, he immediately shouted:
“Where are the guards of the mansion? Where have they gone to? Someone, arrest them!”
No matter how much he yelled, nobody gave heed to his words.
The young judge casually said, “Stop shouting, why don’t you take a look at what’s happening outside?”
After saying this, he made way as the soldiers on both sides retreated a step. The governor of Nanyu Prefecture, full of doubt and surprise, quickly ran outside. When he arrived at the entrance of the government office, he was completely dumbfounded.
At this moment, he noticed that blood was flowing like streams outside, and the Yan flag had been raised at the entrance of the government office without him noticing.
“Commander Cui!”
The military officer who used to obey him in the mansion was soaked in blood, lifeless. He was obviously dead.
The young judge stepped out, looking at the corpses on the ground with an undisturbed expression, showing no regrets.
For those who submitted, they naturally wouldn’t make it difficult for them to.
But for those who forcefully resisted, they could only be executed immediately on the spot.
Blood had always been the underlying theme of political coups since ancient times.
The Governor of Nanyu Prefecture saw many familiar faces among the crowd executive officers, military commanders… All military officials had taken a stand against him.
“Sigh!”
The Nanyu Prefecture governor let out a long sigh.
“Forget it. Just tie me up.”
He still had family and children to worry about, and there was no way he could die for Xia Country.
The young judge waved his hand, and the surrounding soldiers detained the governor.
Then he walked out of the government office and approached a scholar wearing a kerchief, respectfully saying:
“Minister Song, the governor has now submitted, and the entire Nanyu Prefecture is under complete control of the Yan.”
With a somber expression, Song Zhishu nodded and praised, “Very well, our chess pieces planted in the past have finally come into play today.”
“Now we just have to wait for news from General Hu and the military counsellor.”
Meanwhile, news of the event had stirred up the entire southern region, with discussions raging in various states and counties.
In an inn:
“Did you hear? Did you hear?! Yan Country has been restored!”
“Is that true?!”
A middle-aged businessman gasped in surprise.
“Of course it’s true! Nanyu Prefecture has already been captured! That’s the first city in Jiangnan!”
People in the inn who favored the Yan spoke excitedly.
“The Yan may have risen again, but it’s still part of Xia Country now. It was the same three years ago, wasn’t it? In the end, the rebellion was suppressed.”
“Yeah, instead of calling it a restoration, it’s more like the remnants survived.” Some of the crowd doubted the strength of the remaining Yan forces.
Immediately, a handsome scholar chimed in.
“The Yan Country today is different from the past. After this year’s great drought, the Xia Country has already lost popular support, coupled with the ongoing war against Northern ethnic groups, they can’t afford to deal with the
Yan’s influence.”

“Additionally, the Yan Country is now under the command of the Crown Prince, whose influence and power are not at the same level as before. How can you even compare the past to the present?”
The handsome scholar’s words undoubtedly dropped a bombshell on the crowd.
“What! The Crown Prince of the Yan is still alive? I thought he was dead!”
“Yeah, at that time, the government office even emphasized it.” Drinkers and diners in the inn began chattering about the shocking news.
The handsome scholar gently waved his fan, smiling, “The Crown Prince feigned his death for today, to reclaim his past empire!”
