Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 212

[Chapter 212 Decision]

“Brother Han, it’s all my fault, woo woo woo…” In the

carriage, Yuan Li was as angry as a silk, and the chest of his white gown was bright red, and it seemed that blood was still oozing out.

The moment he saw Han Qi, tears flowed from the corners of Yuan Li’s eyes and he began to sob.

“Brother Yuan, you, what’s wrong with you.” Han Qi was slightly startled, Yuan Lixiang could die at any moment.

“It was Guo Tu who did it. While the Patriarch was not paying attention, he stabbed the Patriarch in the chest with a dagger. It is a fate that the Patriarch can live to this day.” Yuan Xiu’s eyes were red.

After a pause, he scolded: “This bastard has lied to everyone, and now we know that he is a spy of Beidi.”

“Hey, I didn’t expect there to be such a scheming person.” Don’t worry, brother, the imperial court will give you justice.”

“Haha…the acting is really good, you should go to an opera.” Chang Wei laughed angrily after listening for a while, and continued to applaud the three of them.

“What do you mean!” Yuan Xiu was furious and pointed at Chang Wei.

“I told you to act again, traitors!” Chang Wei narrowed his eyes, “Take your dirty hands away, I’m afraid I won’t be able to resist drawing out my sword.”

“You dare!” Yuan Xiu shouted, but his fingers still shrank went back.

In the battle of Yanguan, he was terrified of being beaten, and he was instinctively afraid when he saw Chang Wei.

“Ahem, General Chang, I know that you and His Highness King Yan don’t believe me, but it doesn’t matter, I am willing to accept the court’s interrogation, right and wrong, I have my own conclusion.” Yuan Li coughed violently, his tone weak.

Then, he took off the bandage on his chest, revealing a deep bone-deep wound.

“General Chang, look, who would lie with his own life, it is fate to survive.” Han Qi tutted twice and shook his head.

Chang Wei remained silent, he knew in his heart that since Han Qi led the troops here, there was no way to destroy the Yuan family.

Now, he is just waiting for King Yan’s order.

Seeing that Chang Wei didn’t speak, Han Qi said to Yuan Li: “Brother Yuan, take care of your wounds, I’ll make a note to the court and report what happened to you to the emperor.” After finishing speaking,

he put down the curtain of the car.

The moment the car curtain was lowered, Yuan Li’s pitiful eyes suddenly became fierce, and because of the pain from the wound, he gasped.

In order to act realistically this time, he slapped himself hard.

The wound was deep. After all, if he didn’t act realistically, he would lose his head.

After a day or so, Ma Yuan arrived in Fanyang.

After seeing Yuan Li, he decided to send him to the capital.

At the same time, Chang Wei was ordered by the palace to withdraw his troops and withdraw to Yancheng.

…

Jinling, the Imperial Palace.

Only five days after the imperial edict ordering the pastors of various states to dispatch troops to Yanzhou was issued, another imperial edict was issued, canceling the first edict.

In the study, Zhao Heng took the memorial that he had just delivered, and heaved a sigh of relief, “The king of Yan not only defeated the Yuan family’s soldiers who attacked Yanguan, but also repelled the Beidi people.”

This memorial was written by Zhao Xu himself. It states how he went to Yanguan, how he defeated Yuan’s soldiers and horses, how he defended Yanguan and how Beidi retreated.

And judging from the continuous news from Yanzhou, it was just as King Yan said.

The crisis in Yanzhou was lifted.

“This old slave really didn’t realize that King Yan has such great abilities.” Liang Cheng clicked his tongue twice.

Zhao Heng nodded slightly. A few days ago, Da Song was about to face a serious crisis, and even the mountains and rivers might be broken.

In just a few days, the crisis was resolved, and Dasong Jiangshan will continue to use SF and Tai in the future.

“It’s just that King Yan has made such a great achievement, how should I reward him?” Zhao Heng pondered, and while he was happy, he suddenly felt a little bit worried.

This time, King Yan’s contribution is not insignificant.

The first suppressed the rebellion of the Yuan family, and the second held Yanguan.

Either of these two things is a great achievement.

Not only strengthened the power of the royal family, but also greatly deterred the eight powerful families.

Liang Cheng was terrified this time. After all, if the people from Beidi called, the royal family would not have a good life, and he, an eunuch, would not have a good life either.

Moreover, he had received so many precious goods from King Yan, so he naturally wanted to speak to King Yan at this time, so he said: “The Yuan family rebelled, if this Yanzhou did not have His Highness the Ninth Prince to turn the tide, this old slave can’t even think about it now. If you want to rely more on the king of Yan, it is better to use the seven counties of Yanzhou…”

At this point, he suddenly stopped talking, because Zhao Heng’s face became gloomy at this moment.

“The chaos in Yanzhou is just around the corner. This is the danger of handing over Yanzhou to one person. How can we forget the pain after the scars are healed, and now hand over Yanzhou to King Yan? It is time to take this opportunity to balance the power of Yanzhou. ” said Zhao Hengsu.

He needs the king of Yan to maintain the stability of Yanzhou and the balance with the powerful clan, these are out of interest considerations.

To him, no matter the Yuan family, the powerful clan, or the King of Yan, they are all pawns on the Da Song chessboard.

What he wants is for them to constrain each other so that he, the emperor, can benefit from it and maintain his rule over Da Song, and no one can shake his position.

The merit of King Yan’s autumn hunting, he gave King Yan Shanggu County in order to support King Yan and check and balance the Yuan family.

But the Yuan family suffered heavy losses this time, and no one in Yanzhou could check and balance King Yan, which was not what he wanted to see.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for him to hand over all the seven counties of Yanzhou to King Yan.

Since ancient times, there have been princes who have swelled their ambitions and raised troops to rebel. Who can guarantee that King Yan will not be next?

Moreover, there is a deep secret in his heart. This secret makes him feel disgusted and resentful towards the prince whose mother’s family is from a poor family. This is also the fundamental reason why he has never been able to treat King Yan as the same as other princes.

From beginning to end, he supported King Yan only out of interests, not family affection.

“The emperor… what the emperor said is very true.” Liang Cheng’s palms were covered with sweat.

The incident in Yanzhou surprised and delighted him, but he was negligent.

Only then did he remember, where does the emperor’s family come from? Not to mention the incident back then.

“However, King Yan deserves a great reward for his great achievements, otherwise he might be dissatisfied.” Zhao Heng rolled his eyes and secretly made a decision.

Another two days passed.

Another memorial was sent from Yanzhou.

This booklet was sent by Ma Yuan.

According to the excerpt, Ma Yuan has already detained Yuan Li and is about to send him to the capital.

But he also mentioned the mystery of the Yuan family’s rebellion.

“Guo Tu?” Zhao Heng frowned.

He subconsciously felt that this was Yuan Li’s scheme.

However, it doesn’t matter if it’s true or not, he needs the Yuan family to stay in Yanzhou.

…

At the same time, the powerful clans also got news from Yanzhou.

Twenty miles outside Jinling City, in a luxurious courtyard by the Yuxi River.

There are six ministers in the current dynasty, and Xiao Cheng, the general of the town, is the capital.

At this time, Dou Wei sat in the main seat, and the others lined up on the left and right.

In the courtyard, there are other long tables where children from various families sit.

After serving the food and wine, singing and dancing began.

There was an uproar in the courtyard.

While feasting, everyone generally enjoys singing and dancing.

After drinking for three rounds, Dou Wei saw Xiao Cheng, the general of Zhen Guo, who was unhappy, and asked, “General Xiao, what’s the matter?”

Xiao Cheng sighed, “It’s not my third younger brother, who escaped the night the Beidi people came. Yanguan, this time, the emperor will definitely punish him.”

“Fleeing in battle, this crime really can’t be escaped.” Han Zheng frowned. Although the food and drink were good, he couldn’t be happy.

In the past, the Yuan family was almost a vassal of his Han family, and they paid tribute to his Han family every year.

Now, apart from this incident, the Yuan family made him extremely embarrassed.

Moreover, the sixth prince was convicted and imprisoned in the prison.

Fortunately, there is still a ray of hope, the rebellion does not necessarily fall on the Yuan family.

“That’s right, King Yan took all the credit this time, and our family has nothing.” Wang Zi’an drank a glass of wine.

The crisis in Yanzhou was over, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, he was unhappy that King Yan had received such great credit.

After all, King Yan is a member of the royal family.

Fan Xinglun said: “Shouldn’t you be concerned about the magic weapon of King Yan’s victory this time? It is said that that thing is called a cannon, and it is very powerful.”

Mentioning this, Liang Kai, who was flirting with a dancing girl, was beating the beat, and his face suddenly darkened. .

Xie Duan looked at Liang Kai, and said: “I heard that this thing is a bit like the firearm of Shenjiying, but it seems to be much bigger, Liang Shangshu, do you think so?”

Liang Kai’s smile was a little unnatural, the firearm of Shenjiying It was dedicated to the royal family by their Liang family.

However, this thing launches slowly and is not accurate, so it has been used as a guard of honor.

Everyone has never taken it seriously.

The others also looked at Liang Kai at this time, this time King Yan’s cannon was rumored to be miraculous, they couldn’t ignore it.

After all, King Yan proved the power of this weapon in the war.

This made them suddenly feel a sense of crisis.

The firearms of the Shenji Camp were donated by the Liang family, and they naturally believed that the Liang family knew more about artillery than they did.

After all, they had only heard rumors that there were looting ships on the sea loaded with similar weapons that could make loud noises and flashes of light.
