Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 221

[Chapter 221]

“Praise the emperor, this time I came here under the order of the Khan, and we specially brought you a news that Xiliang finally chose to surrender under my Beidi’s conquest for several years. From now on, Murong Hao will obey the Khan’s orders.” All the

officials are in place, Tiemu Pagoda bends slightly, and does not bow down.

This Beidi envoy is headed by him.

But no one on this trip knew his identity.

After threatening Da Song to get rid of King Yan in exchange for a truce, he volunteered to come to Da Song.

One is to accumulate prestige for himself, so that he can gain more bargaining chips when he competes for sweat position in the future.

The second is to see Dasong’s strength with his own eyes.

Coming to Jinling from Yanzhou, he first saw the withered Yanzhou.

During the observation, he found that although the people in Yanzhou were poor, they seemed to have a unique spirit.

This spirit is like the buds that grow persistently on the burned land.

After leaving Yanzhou, the more south you go, the richer you become.

But the people and officials under this kind of prosperity are immersed in happiness.

When he arrived in Jinling, he was really shocked by the prosperity of Dasong Imperial City.

It’s just that the people here are even more drunk and dreamy, and even the guards are leaning diagonally in the cave door, forgetting their duty of interrogation.

This is absolutely impossible in Beidi.

Witnessing all this, his ambition grew wildly like a vine.

He realized that the only obstacle for Beidi to go south was Yanguan, the King of Yan.

As long as King Yan is dead, Da Song will be as vulnerable as a baby in front of Beidi.

Therefore, once their strategy succeeds and Da Song kills King Yan, they will launch a full-scale war.

Because then they will have no scruples anymore.

Zhao Hengduan sat on the dragon chair, originally his back was straight to show his imperial majesty.

Although he knew about it last night from the officials of the Honglu Temple who received Beidi envoys.

He listened to it again now, and his heart still trembled.

He knew that Beidi’s envoy deliberately told the ministers.

Sure enough, the Beidi envoy’s voice fell, and the hall was so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard for an instant.

Immediately, heated discussions erupted.

“This, is this true or not?” Han Zheng looked at Dou Wei.

Except for Yanzhou, Qizhou was the closest to Yanguan, so he was naturally very nervous.

Dou Wei nodded slightly, Zhao Heng told him the news last night.

Han Zheng’s face turned pale immediately, sweat pouring down like rain.

“This Xiliang has given Da Song a headache. Now that Xiliang has surrendered to Beidi, wouldn’t it be like a tiger with wings added.” A minister’s lips kept trembling.

“How could this happen? In this way, wouldn’t Beidi be able to attack me with all his heart?” Another minister seemed to be mourning.

“That’s not right. In the past, the three countries used to check and balance each other, but now there are two immortals. What should we do?”

…

The panic of the ministers was seen by Tiemuta, and he showed a look of satisfaction.

Now, he couldn’t help admiring his father.

Maybe this time he really frightened and frightened Emperor Dasong, so as to achieve the purpose of killing King Yan.

“A group of rats!” At this moment, Yang Feng yelled angrily, “So what if Xiliang surrendered to Beidi? Is it necessary to fear Beidi and give up Dasong Jiangshan? King Yan just defeated Beidi at Yanguan, and he is strong I have praised the country’s prestige, but now you are so cowardly in the court, it is simply ridiculous.”

“Your Majesty, Bei Di and Da Song will fight sooner or later, I am afraid it will be of no use, if they want to fight, they must accompany them.” Mo Kuan agreed.

Tiemu Tower frowned upon hearing this, and looked at the two of them.

The two glared at each other equally.

Zhao Heng clutched his forehead. He hadn’t slept all night, and the quarrels among the ministers made him even more irritable.

The fear of Xiliang’s submission to Beidi and the hatred for Beidi were constantly intertwined in his heart.

Looking sideways at the Tiemu Pagoda, he decided to ask the purpose of his visit first, “This is a matter between Beidi and Xiliang, what does it have to do with me, or what is the reason for coming to Jinling?”

“Khan I don’t want the two countries to fight again, and the lives will be ruined. As long as you are willing to hand over King Yan to our Beidi as a hostage, the two countries will live in peace, otherwise our Beidi will start a full-scale war with you!” Tie Muta raised his head with an arrogant expression .

“Presumptuous! King Yan is my Prince Dasong, how can I hand it over to you as a hostage!” Ma Yuan pointed at the Iron Wooden Pagoda and shouted angrily.

Then he turned to Zhao Heng, “Your Majesty, Beidi is too rude. They should drive their envoys out of Jinling.”

After speaking, he looked at the other ministers.

Except for Yang Feng, Mo Kuan, Mi Yan and a small group of ministers who were filled with righteous indignation.

The other ministers looked thoughtful at the moment.

Seeing this, he was shocked.

He looked carefully at Zhao Heng’s expression again, and found that Zhao Heng was not angry at all, and seemed to be weighing pros and cons.

At this time, a chill suddenly rose from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

Tie Mu Pagoda was also observing Zhao Heng and Da Song’s courtiers.

Seeing that there was hope, he said again: “Besides, I, Beidi, am willing to give Dashen 80,000 war horses!

” There is also the matter of being a hostage in an enemy country.” At this moment, Han Zheng suddenly spoke.

Among the influential families, he is most afraid of Beidi’s entry.

Moreover, he has his own little thoughts.

If the king of Yan becomes a hostage to Beidi, he can beg the emperor to seal the second prince to Yanzhou, and get the soldiers, wealth and land of the king of Yan for nothing.

From then on, Yanzhou belonged to his Han family.

“Shameless you, I didn’t expect such words to come from the mouth of a great minister.” Mi Yan blushed because of anger, and he said: “Your Majesty, Bei Di has no faith in his words, so he can’t be fooled by this. Once King Yan arrives Beidi, how can he live?”

After a pause, he continued: “I think that Beidi is afraid of King Yan, so he threatened the emperor with the surrender of Xiliang, but in fact he wanted to get rid of King Yan. Whether the king will turn against him or not, his generals will definitely not agree, once there is chaos in the four northern counties, it will give Beidi an opportunity!”

Zhao Heng kept his head down in thought, and Han Zheng’s words moved his heart even more.

After all, if you don’t hand over to the King of Yan, I’m afraid that Da Song will never have peace.

If Beidi enters the customs and the country is lost, he will become the king of the country.

But Mi Yan’s words woke him up.

King Yan is different from the other princes in the capital, who can be taken down by sending some imperial troops.

It is a real power vassal with a fief and an army.

Agreeing to Beidi is tantamount to forcing against King Yan.

The King of Yan defeated the Yuan family with his own power, if it really messed up, it would be a big trouble.

Furthermore, as Mi Yan said, perhaps Beidi did this because he was afraid of King Yan.

Thinking of this, he said: “The King of Yan is my prince of Dasong, and I will give it to you as a hostage. How can I face the people of Dasong? If you came here for this, you should go back immediately.”

Tie Muta sneered twice, “Emperor Dasong, you have to think about it. After I return to the grassland, Beidi’s army will crush your rivers and mountains.” After finishing speaking, Tiemuta

turned around and was about to leave.

“Slow down!” Dou Wei immediately stopped Tiemu Tower.

After saluting to Zhao Heng, he said: “What the emperor is worried about is that the King of Yan is rebelling against him. Why don’t you let him go to Beijing in the name of visiting relatives, and then let the imperial army take it down? Why bother to bury Dasong Jiangshan for a prince.”

“This… …” Zhao Heng’s firm determination wavered again, as if this was also a solution.

“As for the soldiers and horses of his subordinates, without the backbone of King Yan, civil strife is inevitable. The court only needs to promise high-ranking officials and generous salaries to subdue them, so there is no need to worry.” Dou Wei continued.

For him, the last thing he wants is an all-out war with Beidi.

Because, including him and all powerful clans, they fear Beidi like a tiger.

There is no confidence in fighting Beidi at all.

Instead of this, it is better to pay some conditions with Beidi in exchange for peace and peace, and live a leisurely and comfortable life.

In the past, they dealt with Yuan Li and maintained the stability of Yanzhou in order to keep Beidi out of the pass.

Now Yuan Li is ordered to check and balance the King of Yan and maintain the stability of Yanzhou, and at the same time to block Beidi.

Now that Xiliang has surrendered to Beidi, it means that Dasong’s long frontier from east to west is under the threat of Beidi.

If the handing over of King Yan can bring about long-term Antai, he and the powerful clans will naturally strongly agree.

As for the four northern counties of Yanzhou, other princes should be in charge.

” Second minister.” “Second

minister.”

“…”

Wang Zi’an, Fan Xinglun and others came out one after another.

The sixth prince was overjoyed after Beidi envoy made this request.

After the Yuan family’s rebellion was found to be unsubstantiated, he was released from prison.

At this time, he said: “Father, my son is willing to go to Yanzhou to replace King Yan.”

Ma Yuan, Yang Feng, Mo Kuan, Mi Yan and others were trembling with popularity.

The powerful family headed by Dou Wei has always been in harmony.

It has been mentioned several times to exchange annual tribute in exchange for peace with Beidi.

It was within their expectations to make such a choice.

It’s just that they still underestimated the shamelessness of these people.

“Hahaha…Emperor Dasong, it seems that your ministers have made the right choice.” Tie Muta laughed loudly, “So, let us take King Yan back to Beidi.”

Zhao Heng almost wanted to Promise, he thinks the same as the power clans when it comes to the Lord and He.

If Dasong and Beidi can live in peace, what about sacrificing a prince? As

long as he can be his emperor safely.

He opened his mouth and was about to speak when Liang Kai suddenly said: “Think twice, Your Majesty, if His Royal Highness King Yan can guard Yan Pass, he will be able to guard the northern border. The cannon in his hand, with such a sharp weapon, Beidi may not be able to do anything?”

After speaking, Liang Kai gave Dou Wei and the others a wink.

As far as he is concerned, King Yan cannot die now, and the Liang family has indeed imitated the cannon.

But judging from the rumors, the Liang family’s counterfeit artillery seems to be inferior to King Yan’s.

Before he saw King Yan’s artillery, he didn’t want King Yan to die like this.

Dou Wei and the others suddenly came to their senses. They panicked just now and forgot about this.

“Your Majesty, I’m stupid. We have artillery now. It’s fine not to hand King Yan to Beidi, but we must let King Yan send the artillery. If all of our Dasong army is equipped with artillery, we may be able to fight. ” Dou Wei said.

Although Han Zheng was a little disappointed, he nodded.

Let’s compare the cannons of the Liang family and King Yan first.

As for the future, there are plenty of opportunities to get the seal of King Yan.

The sixth prince was extremely disappointed and lowered his head without speaking.

Ma Yuan, Yang Feng and others breathed a sigh of relief.

They didn’t expect that it was the artillery that saved King Yan’s life.

Indeed, such a national treasure is no different from a talisman.
