Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 214

[Chapter 214 Double Spring]

Dou Wei heard this, he exchanged a glance with the others.

In the past few days, more news has arrived.

Now Yanzhou is basically stable, and it is only waiting for the court to deal with Yuan Li and reward the King of Yan.

The second prince, the third prince and the crown prince are all sour in their hearts.

According to the news from the palace, their father seems to be in a good mood.

I have a lot of praise for King Yan.

But they knew their father’s character of being overjoyed.

King Yan has made such great achievements, it is strange that he does not take it upon himself.

But even so, they were still jealous.

Even the prince is unwilling to speak for King Yan at this time.

Zhao Heng glanced at the ministers and saw that the powerful officials in the court looked indifferent.

Obviously, they were unwilling to give merit to King Yan.

And this was within his expectations.

In this court meeting, he wanted to use the power clan’s fear of King Yan to achieve his own goals.

Not only did he satisfy the clansmen, but he also showed King Yan that he had done his best for the reward.

“The important thing the emperor wants to talk about is the reward for King Yan?” At this moment, Ma Yuan suddenly spoke.

He is back.

And he has already reported Zhao Heng’s own affairs in Yanzhou.

Zhao Heng was very happy, and praised King Yan a lot, implying that he would hand over all the seven counties of Yanzhou to King Yan.

Therefore, now that the officials don’t want to answer this question, he wants to answer it.

For him, no one can deny the credit of King Yan, not to mention the emperor also has this intention.

“This time King Yan defeated the Yuan family’s soldiers who attacked Yanzhou, and defended Yanguan. He has made great contributions. Your Majesty, I think it will be a great reward.” Yang Feng came out and said loudly.

“The final general seconded the proposal.” Mo Kuan also stood up at this time.

Zhao Heng nodded, feeling secretly happy.

When Ma Yuan came to see him, his plan for this reward began.

He intentionally leaked the news to Ma Yuan, so that Ma Yuan could cooperate with him to sing a bad face in the court today.

So he said: “Just like Ma Yushi, Yi Guogong, and General Mo said, if there was no King Yan, Beidi took Yanguan this time, and now I am afraid that my chanting has already spread all over the country. To avoid the pain of the war, this kind of credit is unprecedented. After thinking about it for the past few days, I have decided that the remaining five counties in Yanzhou will be merged into the land of the King of Yan. From now on, the King of Yan will assume the responsibility of guarding Yanzhou and Yanguan When

Zhao Heng said this, Dou Wei and the others all turned pale.

They thought that the reward for the king of Yan would be very big this time, but they didn’t expect Zhao Heng to grant the whole Yanzhou to the king of Yan.

In this way, King Yan will truly become the king of Yanzhou.

“Your Majesty, although King Yan made great contributions this time, if it weren’t for the bloody battle of Yanguan soldiers, how could he have defeated the Beidi people? I think that the credit cannot be entirely attributed to King Yan.” At this time, an official came out, and this person was He is the Minister of the Ministry of War.

Dou Wei felt a little proud when he saw officials coming out.

This time, neither he nor the six ministers would directly argue with Zhao Heng, but secretly instructed other officials to speak first.

In this way, they can blow by the side.

“It’s nonsense. No one denies the merits of Yanguan officers and soldiers, but Yanguan officers and soldiers alone cannot defend Yanguan. Even the Yanguan generals’ notebooks state this.” An official and Ma Yuan looked at each other. Come forward and scold.

Ma Yuan has been in the officialdom for many years, so he naturally knows the methods of people like Dou Wei.

When it came to court, it had already been prepared.

“Your Majesty, even so, Yanzhou cannot be handed over to the King of Yan. The example of the Yuan family’s rebellion is right in front of us. If the King of Yan rebels in the future, who will stop it?” an official shouted loudly.

“Ridiculous, ridiculous. At the beginning, I didn’t know who said that King Yan and General Mo were in collusion. The Yuan family was wronged. What happened? You became traitors for defending, and you saved Da Song for being suspicious. Now you still How dare you say such nonsense.” An official snorted coldly.

“The king of Yan is indeed wronged now, but after he gets Yanzhou, who can guarantee that his ambition will not grow? Even if the emperor is around, he will not rebel. What if the new king succeeds?” Under Dou Wei’s gesture, another Officials come out.

He did have his own selfishness in this matter.

But he is also thinking about Da Song, the Yuan family’s sole control of Yanzhou is the court’s heart disease.

Let the king of Yan take full control of Yanzhou, which means that the old disease has just gone, and the new disease has just returned.

On the dragon chair, Zhao Heng deliberately looked dissatisfied and continued to watch the officials bicker.

At this time, another official said, “Your Majesty, the King of Yan has indeed made great contributions, but it is not appropriate to entrust the capital of Yanzhou to the King of Yan. It is enough to seal the two counties.”

“Since the founding of Da Song, eight princes have been in charge of a In the land of the state, these princes only rely on their favor and have not made an inch of merit, so now that the King of Yan has made such a remarkable contribution, why not?” Some officials confronted each other.

“Excessive words, none of the eight princes’ seals are at the border, and Yanzhou is the throat of my praise, how can I entrust it to one person.”

“…”

Officials, you say, I say, soon There was chaos in the hall.

At this time, Zhao Heng saw that the time had come, and snorted angrily: “Shut up, I have made up my mind this time, King Yan deserves this reward for his meritorious service, so there is no need to say any more.”

Hearing this, Dou Wei exchanged glances with Han Zheng and the others .

Zhao Heng’s attitude was very firm.

But even so, they will not give in easily.

The current great praise is that the powerful family and the royal family rule the world together, and it is not the emperor who has the final say.

So he said: “Your Majesty, I also think about it for the sake of great praise, not for King Yan. The conferment of the two counties is already a great reward.

”

“The minister also seconded the proposal.” Liang Kai came out at this time. ”

The minister also seconded.” ” Wang Zi’an said.

“The minister seconded. Xie Duan took a step forward.

Zhao Heng pretended to sulk, “What if I don’t agree?” ”

“If the emperor refuses to agree, the ministers are willing to take off this court uniform, dismiss from office and return to their hometowns.” “Dou Wei said.

“You…” Zhao Heng pointed to Dou Wei and the others.

Then he slapped the armrest of the dragon chair heavily, with a look of resignation, “In this case, I will give Pingjun and Liaojun to King Yan, and allow his royal family The number of soldiers has expanded to 120,000, and Yanguan will be guarded by him in the future, no further discussion is allowed, and the dynasty will be dispersed! ”

After that, he flicked his sleeves, turned around and left.

Ma Yuan frowned and looked at Dou Wei. Since the emperor’s order was made, he couldn’t change it.

This time Dou Wei won.

Dou Wei noticed Ma Yuan’s gaze and replied A proud smile.

For them, this is the best result. There are

seven counties in Yanzhou, four counties in the north, and three counties in the south.

Among them, the four counties in the north are the most barren, and the three counties in the south are

the richest . The four counties may not be able to support 120,000 soldiers and horses.

The next thing to consider is how to balance King Yan in Yanzhou.

“The Yuan family. ” Dou Wei looked at Han Zheng, and saw that Han Zheng was also looking at him.

Although the Yuan family was hit hard this time, the foundation is still there. And there

is no evidence of Yuan Li’s rebellion.

Maybe the Yuan family can still be used, after all, King Yan and the Yuan family His hatred will only deepen after this battle.

And who cares about whether the Yuan family rebelled?

As long as Yanzhou is safe and sound!

…

three days later.

A team of palace guards set off from the palace, and among the guards was Liang Cheng.

Under Zhao Heng’s order, he personally went to Yancheng to announce the decree to show the emperor’s favor.

Seven days later, the group arrived in Yancheng.
