The Mongol prince raised a flag, and Toya the harem was grounded;

The court was troubled, even the imperial harem.

At the tenth of March, Abner was brought to the capital, and the court sent to Burney the message that he had been sent to the capital to be taken care of in case of any mishap, since he was wanted, and that this was only in the public domain, and that both Mystical Ye and Burney knew what it meant.

According to the people escorting Abnai, Abnai was very cooperative and nothing happened. Xuan Ye had locked him up in a mansion in the capital and allowed him to live a life without fear of food or clothing.

However, in less than two days, he was the younger brother of the head of his entourage, Shi Xinzhu, who had been married off by Princess Gelun Wen Zhuang. After discovering that Byrne and his brother, Luo Bu, were actually preparing their weapons and practicing their troops, they rushed to the capital to report back. Since there was no evidence, however, the imperial court wanted to find out more about this matter, and sent the imperial guards back to Chahar and Long Shinzhu to continue their attention. At the same time, they sent three imperial bodyguards to send out orders, summoning respectively the brothers Ozil and Weng Niu, as well as Bulny and Luo, respectively, to summon the King of Mongolia, Ozil, Weng Niu and Luo.

A few days later, both the king of Bahrain and the king of Onycht arrived. Only King Chahar had not arrived, and Sai Ling, the guard who had been sent to deliver the message to Burney, did not return. However, there was an urgent report from Long Sin and his men who had come to the capital. It was banned, and Burney had planned to start on the 25th of this month. As soon as the news was received, Long Shi Xin Zhu and the rest immediately set off for the capital to report to their colleagues. They had ordered all the servants who had married the princess to bring their families back to Jinzhou, and requested the imperial government to dispatch their troops as soon as possible.

Xuan Ye had an emergency consultation with the ministers after he received the news, and all the soldiers in the capital were transferred to the south. Xuan Ye had just seized Lanzhou, but he still needed a large number of soldiers to confront them. The next day Xuan Ye went to see the empress dowager to tell her about the Byrne rebellion, and the empress dowager told her about it. After recommending Tu Hai, in the middle of the night, Xuan Ye summoned Tu Hai to the palace.

The light inside the palace was very dim. Xuan Ye stared at the flickering candle flame on the table and pondered for a long time. Then, he slowly raised his head and said, ”Tu Hai, Zhen wants to send you to the Yizhou region to punish Byrne. Are you willing to go?”

”Your Majesty has decreed that this subject will not refuse even if I die.” Tu Hai raised his head and replied with a serious expression.

Xuan Ye nodded and said, ”However, there are currently no soldiers in the capital. What do you think we should do?”

”This …” Tu Hai thought for a while before cupping his hands together and reporting, ”Your Majesty, your subject has been thinking about this since the day we met. Your subject thinks that there should be thousands of people under the eight banners in the capital.

”Eight Flag Robe?” How many people are there? ” Xuan Ye asked thoughtfully.

”I estimate that there must be at least five thousand men in the prime of their lives!” ”If the Emperor sends his ministers, I will send these men to form an army.”

”But how can they fight the enemy without formal training?” Xuan Ye couldn't help but frown and ask.

”If Your Majesty trusts this subject, this subject will have his own way of handling it.” Tu Hai replied with clasped hands.

Xuan Ye nodded his head. ”Alright, I have no doubts that tomorrow I will appoint Duke Duo Luo Xin as my general and you as my vice general. As long as it's a military matter, Duke Duo Luo Xin will be on your side.”

”Your subject accepts the decree!” After all, the title of general was to be conferred to the prince, so the position of vice general was already considered the highest military position amongst the ministers.

The next day, at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Xuan Ye appointed the Duke of Duo Luo Xin, Orza, as the great general of Fuyuan, and the general of the university, Tuohai, as his deputy general. The commander of the garrison, Hak Shan, Lieutenant General Wu Dan, and Hong Shilu were also attachés, and the Commander of the Imperial Guard, the Middle Division, called on Burney. He also decreed that General Tianyin Batulu and General Ninguta Bahai should guard Shengjing.

In a short period of time, both the northern and southern front had fallen into war, and the imperial harem soon learned of the Byrne Rebellion.
