West of the city, in a luxurious residence.
This residence belonged to Plana's family. Plana was born a Brahmin. His father was a clergyman named Tumana. He was in his forties, but because he had taken good care of himself, he did not look old. Previously, when Plana was humiliated by Du Qi, he returned home and reported it to Tumana. Although Tumana was furious, he did not take any action.
The reason was simple. Du Qi was too strong. Just Du Qi's forces in the city alone numbered more than a hundred thousand. Such a force was enough to destroy and sweep away everything. Even if his family was strong, they were like ants in front of Du Qi.
To deal with Du Qi, he would need the power of the entire Brahmin, or even the power of the entire Kshatriya.
Only then would there be a chance.
Therefore, Tumana chose to wait for an opportunity.
Two days later, suddenly, Vadhara, who had submitted to Du Qi, announced the abolition of the caste system. Without a doubt, this shook the foundation of the entire Kenpo Province and affected the interests of all the nobles.
When Tumana heard the news, he laughed three times in a row, looking very happy. He believed that Du Qi was indeed powerful. With a strong army, he would not be easy to deal with. The problem was that even if Du Qi was powerful, Du Qi could not compete with all the forces of the entire Kenpo Province.
In particular, this force contained the Brahmin, Kshatriya, and many other forces under their control. Du Qi wanted to abolish everyone's rights, which was to make the whole world his enemy.
Tumana immediately took action. He immediately arranged for Plana and the rest to inform the major Brahmin families in the city, as well as the Kshatriya families, and invite all of them.
However, this wasn't a grand invitation. Tuo Mo Na specifically warned Prana and the others to tell them to be careful and not be too obvious. As such, everyone gathered in Tuo Mo Na's house. They didn't come with great fanfare, and instead, they hid their tracks and gathered in Tuo Mo Na's house.
There were nearly 50 people who came. They were the major families in the city, including the most important nobles, as well as the main forces of all the Brahmin. Although there were some small families, Tumana could not inform all of them.
Most of them had arrived, and that was enough.
Among this group of people, Tuo Mo was extremely prestigious. After all, he was a nobleman of Brahmin origin. As a clergyman, he had great power and held a lot of power.
Tumana looked around at the crowd and said, "I have invited all of you here today to discuss the abolition of the caste system in Kenpo Province. I believe all of you know about this matter. "
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere ignited.
Everyone was talking about it.
The expressions on their faces were full of anger and resentment. The caste system was their foundation. Once the caste system was gone, all power would be gone. Therefore, none of the Brahmin or Kshatriya people could accept the abolition of the caste system.
Tumana looked at the people who were talking and smiled faintly. Looking at the faces of the people, he knew that it would not be difficult to gather everyone's strength.
In Tumana's view, this was Du Qi's failure.
He intended to subvert and abolish everything. Little did he know that such an arrangement was equivalent to cutting off his own foundation.
"Silence!!"
After a moment, Tumana spoke.
Everyone stopped talking.
Pairs of eyes fell on Tumana again. Tumana slowly said, "Speaking of which, two days ago, I already knew that Du Qi was going to abolish the caste system. At that time, I wanted to tell all of you the news, but the officials did not disclose it at that time, so I did not inform you. "
"Why do you say that? I know the news."
"The reason is very simple. I believe many of you know that my son was severely humiliated by Du Qi two days ago. He made Plana kneel down and apologize to the untouchables in the city in front of everyone."
"This apology is abominable."
Tumana gritted his teeth and looked angry. He said in a deep voice, "At that time, Du Qi had already revealed the news, saying that all people under his rule are equal and so on. Under such circumstances, it is very obvious that Du Qi wants to abolish the caste system. Now, as expected, Du Qi arranged for Vadhara to announce the abolition of the caste system. "
"Du Qi has long been premeditated, and now our foundation has been cut off by Du Qi. Everyone, if we do not take action, then in the next moment, these untouchables will climb on top of our heads. These lowly commoners will point fingers at us and order us around. Even these untouchables have been oppressed in the past. Next, they will madly retaliate against us. "
"Are you willing to see this happen?"
"In the past, when all of us walked on the street, the untouchables had to kneel down and bow to us. In front of us, they did not even dare to raise their heads. But now, these untouchables may even point fingers at us. "
"Once the untouchables become officials, they will deal with us."
"Are you willing?"
Tumana's words were very provocative. As he spoke, the expressions on everyone's faces had changed. There was a touch of anger and a touch of determination in their eyes.
They would never let what Tumana said happen.
Their interests could not be shaken.
As Tumana spoke, he was also observing the changes in everyone's expressions. Seeing that everyone was angry and their emotions were affected, Tumana's face had a touch of a smile.
It was done!
Everyone would definitely choose to take action for their own interests. Taking action at this time meant that they would go all out, and this was exactly the result Tumana wanted.
"Tumana, I am willing to take action."
"I, Bardo, am willing to take action."
"I am willing to use the power of the entire clan to attack Du Qi."
…
One by one, people kept speaking.
Everyone was talking at the same time. Forty to fifty people spoke at the same time, making the scene lively. At this moment, everyone had already made up their minds to go all out and fight. There was no other way. If they did not fight, their interests would be reaped.
Tumana raised his hand and said, "Silence!"
As Tumana spoke, everyone stopped talking. Pairs of eyes looked at Tumana, waiting for Tumana to speak.
Tuo Mo Na continued, "Everyone, at this point, our only way is to adopt the strategy of capturing the ringleader to capture the bandits. Only then would he be able to win the battle. My plan is to go straight to the palace, surround it, and storm in to kill Du Qi. Now that Xia Xia's army is leaderless, we will win. "
Among the crowd, there was a person named Bardo. He was a monk and also a Brahmin. Moreover, he was the leader of a clan. He said in a deep voice, "Patriarch Tumana, we are going to send troops, but what about Vadhara? He was born in Kshatriya. If we don't persuade Vadhara and act alone, the news will easily leak. "
Tumana thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Vadhara indeed needs to be warned. Otherwise, if Vadhara leaks our news, this battle will not be good."
Bardo said, "Patriarch Tumana is right. We must first solve the matter of Vadhara. Then, we will deal with Du Qi. Otherwise, everything will be over. "
Tumana said in a deep voice, "In that case, I will personally go to the Provincial Governor's Office. The plan to persuade Vadhara is very simple. Let Vadhara not help either side temporarily and remain neutral. After the matter, he will still be the King of Kenpo Province. In this way, he will not refuse. He will just turn a blind eye. I believe he will make the choice. When the time comes, we just need to arrange people to keep an eye on him. "
Bardo said, "That's great. This plan is good."
Tumana said in a deep voice, "Everyone, the time of our operation is set to be tonight. At that time, all of us will dispatch troops from our respective families and go all out to the palace. You all go and make the preparations. I will go to the Provincial Governor's Office. I will personally talk to Vadhara. "
When the crowd heard this, they all agreed.
All of them held the same opinion.
Tumana saluted everyone, and everyone returned the salute before leaving one after another. After everyone left, Prado looked at Tumana and praised, "Father, your methods are really brilliant. If we were to deal with Du Qi two days ago, many people would definitely be unwilling to take the lead and would just sweep the snow in front of their door. But now, no one will refuse and no one dares to not go all out. This little delay of time is really brilliant. "
Tumana said in a deep voice, "You must remember that you can't be impatient. It's easy to make mistakes if you are impatient. Wait for a while and you will have the opportunity to take action. "
Plana said, "This son will keep Father's teachings in mind."
Tumana said, "You stay in the residence. I'm going to see Vadhara now. Ba Tuoluo is a smart man, and he definitely knows what to do. "
Plana said, "This son is here to wish Father success."
Tumana immediately went out of the residence and went to Vadhara's Provincial Governor's Office. When Vadhara knew about his visit, he knew that the impact of abolishing the caste system had finally come. Vadhara personally went out to welcome Tumana into the hall and said with a smile, "What wind blew you here, Brother Tumana? May I know what you came here for? "
Tumana went straight to the point, "My purpose here is very simple. It's about the caste system. This system is the foundation of us Brahmin and Kshatriya. It's not allowed to be abolished. So we want to take action against Du Qi and attack the palace directly. I'm telling you directly because you're a smart man. I'm not asking you to take action. You just need to turn a blind eye. We will plan for this matter. You stay neutral. That's enough! "
Vadhara muttered to himself. He didn't agree immediately because he was worried that he would be exposed. He sneered in his heart. Tumana and the others wanted to scheme against His Majesty, but they didn't know that this pit was dug by His Majesty.
It was impossible to scheme against His Majesty.
Seeing Vadhara's silence, Tumana said in a deep voice, "Could it be that you, Vadhara, have forgotten your origin and are even going to betray your own race?"
Vadhara said, "Chief Tumana, I promise not to take action. You're on your own. "
Tumana laughed after hearing this and said, "I hope you'll keep your word. Because now outside your mansion, my people are monitoring. If you take action, you'll regret it. "
Vadhara said, "I don't even know when you'll take action. How can I take action?"
Tumana said, "It's good that you know."
"Goodbye!"
Tumana turned and left.
Vadhara looked at Tumana's back as he left, but the corners of his mouth hooked up in a sneer. Even if there were Tumana's people around the mansion, so what? One must know that Du Qi's spies were now all over the city. Tumana's every move was watched by Du Qi. Even if he couldn't send out any information, Du Qi would know.
The ones who were being schemed against were Tumana and the others.
Vadhara only needed to wait and see for now. After all, nothing unexpected happened that Du Qi didn't expect. But even so, Vadhara had to be prepared to take action. Once Tumana and the others took action, Vadhara would send people to cut off their escape route.
Now that everything was ready, they were just waiting for Tumana and the other nobles to jump into the pit.
