Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 324

[Chapter 324]

“But speaking of it, King Yan is really powerful. Jinzhou has been plagued by Xiliang for 20 years, and now it finally belongs to me again.”

The woman in green on the left propped her chin with eyes laugh.

The woman in red on the right looked around instinctively, and said softly: “But I heard that the other princes are not very happy, and His Highness King Yan stole the limelight.”

Chang Le snorted softly, “If they are unhappy, let them be unhappy.” Go be happy, if they are all like King Yan, why would the royal family be in such an embarrassment.”

“His Royal Highness said yes, but don’t let outsiders hear it, or you will be hated again.” The woman in green said softly.

“It’s right for them to hate. If they don’t hate, I’m on the contrary with them. These children don’t want to serve the country, they just know how to gossip. It’s not as good as us girls.” Princess Changle raised her eyebrows.

The woman in red smiled and said nothing.

In Jinling, only Princess Changle has always supported King Yan with a clear-cut stand.

She knew that this was not only the integrity of Princess Changle, but also related to her past.

After all, Princess Changle used to be named Nian.

“Since it’s a spring outing, it’s better not to talk about these important family and country affairs.” The woman in green suggested at this time.

The others nodded, and the four chattered about Jinling.

Whose family’s young lady and whose family’s young master will be arrested privately.

Which one has the best cloth line, and where is the poetry meeting going to be held.

Cheers and laughter kept coming from the boat.

Laughter like silver bells spread to the shore, and the scholars wished they could look at the painting boat and see what the woman inside looked like.

Going south along the Jiuqu River, on the same line as the southern end of the palace, the Jiuqu River suddenly turns east, crosses a white jade bridge, and enters a garden surrounded by walls.

This is the royal garden.

Different from the royal garden for hunting, this is the place for the emperor’s spring outing.

Today is a sunny day, not only the princes and princesses, but also the children of powerful and wealthy businessmen are out to play.

Emperor Zhao Heng also invited the important ministers of the court to visit the garden because of his refreshing mood.

Behind him, on the left is Dou Wei, on the right is Mi Yan, and behind him are Xie Duan, Ma Yuan, Yang Feng, Han Zheng and others.

Stopping in front of a pavilion with the ministers, Zhao Heng looked at a peony in front of him in surprise, “The peony planted by the late emperor has not bloomed for ten years, but I didn’t expect it to bloom so beautifully this year.”

Mi Yan laughed and said: ” Your Majesty, this is an auspicious omen, which indicates that the Great Song will return to its glory and the royal family will prosper in the world.”

“Yes, as the saying goes, the prosperity of the vegetation means the prosperity of the family and the country.”

“It’s really an auspicious omen.”

“…” The

ministers said one by one A compliment to Zhao Heng.

“Hahaha…” Zhao Heng felt relieved when he heard this.

Looking at the peony in front of me, the more I look at it, the more I love it.

He couldn’t be unhappy.

Since he ordered King Yan to lead the army into Jinzhou, the entire Jinling has been paying attention to the war in Jinzhou.

It has been almost three months, King Yan did not disappoint him, and gave him a result that exceeded his expectations.

The Yuan family was pacified last time, Beidi was retreated, and Xiliang was defeated this time.

But in this battle, no one can question the role of artillery in the war.

Now, he couldn’t wait to equip his imperial army with artillery.

“Well said.” Suddenly stopped laughing, Zhao Heng turned to Mi Yan, “But this time King Yan has made great achievements again, how do you say to reward him?”

When he said this, his heart was sour.

If Jinzhou was brought down by himself, how majestic he would be.

Although King Yan was his son, he always felt that there were some flaws in this royal glory.

The ministers were silent for a while.

The king of Yan made a great contribution this time, although it is not as good as calming down the Yuan family and preventing Beidi from going south.

But such a credit is still a great credit.

Dou Wei noticed that Zhao Heng’s eyes were a little disappointed, and he immediately guessed the emperor’s thoughts: “Your Majesty, in my opinion, King Yan has made such great achievements, and the meager rewards really can’t commend his meritorious deeds, so it’s better to accept Jinzhou as a leader.” He sealed the land as a reward.”

Zhao Heng frowned when he heard this, he gave King Yan the four counties of Yanzhou to support King Yan.

If it is given to King Yan Jinzhou again, wouldn’t it mean that the northern border of Dasong has become King Yan’s world.

He absolutely can’t do that.

As the prime minister, Dou Wei naturally understood this truth.

When he said that, his purpose was very simple, it was just to flatter and kill King Yan.

This time King Yan won Jinzhou, they had mixed feelings in their hearts.

On the one hand, I am happy that the artillery is indeed the killer.

In the future, he has the ability to fight Beidi.

In this way, they can focus on the struggle for power within Dasong.

Unhappily, the horse trade between them and Beidi was disrupted by King Yan.

Therefore, he naturally couldn’t make King Yan as he wished.

Mi Yan looked at Dou Wei lightly, the longer he fought with Dou Wei, the more he found that Dou Wei’s smile was brighter, and his heart was darker.

He naturally understood that Dou Wei wanted to provoke Zhao Heng and other ministers to be wary of King Yan.

Thinking of this, he said: “Your Majesty, I think that King Yan has meritorious deeds, but he is also guilty. In fact, there is no need to give a big reward.”

“Oh?” Zhao Heng showed an interesting expression, “Tell me about it.”

“As far as I know, after the king of Yan occupied Jincheng, he killed the governor Cao Rui and others without asking the court for instructions, and even confiscated his family property as his own. This is a crime, and his credit is needless to say.” Mi Yan said.

Ma Yuan said at this time: “His Royal Highness King Yan seems to be particularly greedy for money, and he did not forget to search Jinzhou, so he should be punished.”

Zhao Xu glanced at Mi Yan and Dou Wei, and smiled lightly.

Many ministers are now confused.

Dou Wei always criticizes the King of Yan on weekdays, but today he advocates a big reward.

But Mi Yan and others, who tried their best to protect King Yan, wanted to punish King Yan.

“Mi Aiqing, Ma Aiqing is right. This King Yan is indeed too greedy for money. He is not satisfied with so many merchants. He has not forgotten the geese’s feathers in this war. He should be beaten.” Zhao Heng looked serious, but in his heart D.

It is good for King Yan to be greedy for money, it is better than greedy for power.

Then he changed the subject, “However, after all, he still has made more contributions. In this way, he will give another 30,000 troops to his palace’s personal army, and another 10,000 taels of silver as a reward.”

“The emperor is wise.” Mi Yan and other ministers agreed Said loudly.

They understood the emperor’s heart, and they suppressed King Yan for his own good.

Dou Wei also has no opinion.

For such a great achievement, there is no reward for sealing the soil, only 30,000 troops and ten thousand taels of silver are given, basically this reward is better than nothing.

Then suddenly he thought of artillery.

And it is said that the Han family, Xie family, and Liang family have already purchased King Yan’s artillery.

This makes the military strength of the Dou family obviously lag behind these few.

Especially now that King Yan once again proved the importance of artillery.

He couldn’t bear this, and decided to send someone to contact Yan Wang in the near future.

So he no longer objected to the number of troops.
