Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 325

[Chapter 325 Candidates]

do?”

Peony, keep going.

After walking a few steps, Dou Wei suddenly remembered something and asked.

Mentioning this, many ministers pricked up their ears.

For them, in fact, they don’t care much about how the emperor rewards the King of Yan.

After all, King Yan’s contribution is here, and the reward is certain.

But Jinzhou now belongs to Dasong, and King Yan killed a lot of Jinzhou nobles.

This is tantamount to turning Jinzhou into a big fat meat without any influence.

So now both powerful and powerful families want to get a share in Jinzhou.

Zhao Heng turned his head and looked at the officials behind him.

When they met his eyes, the officials all dodged a little.

He couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.

This question also troubled him.

Jinzhou’s position is very important, not lost to Yanzhou.

In fact, it is most appropriate for King Yan to govern him.

But he was unwilling to hand over Jinzhou to King Yan.

But he is not sure who to send and who can sit in Jinzhou to make him feel at ease.

After all, Jinzhou, like Yanzhou, belongs to the place of the Fourth World War, and there will be no peace in the future.

If Jinzhou is taken away again, his face will be lost.

“What is the prime minister’s opinion?” Dou Wei must have his own ideas when he raised this question at this time.

He wants to hear it before making a decision.

After pondering for a while, Dou Wei said: “Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Yan is not the only one who deserves credit for defeating Xiliang this time.”

After a pause, he said: “The Ma family was at the place where the battle was fought, and they went all the way north, conquering the entire Lin County, and attracted many troops from Xiliang. Now His Royal Highness King Yan deserves the reward, and I think the Ma family should also reward it.”

Zhao Heng slightly nod.

Judging from the information passed on from all sides, it seems to be so.

After the war ended, the Ma family soldiers and horses still occupied Lincheng.

“Therefore, I recommend Ma Jin to be the shepherd of Jinzhou and to be in charge of Jinzhou. If there is another war in the future, the soldiers and horses of the Ma family will be able to cooperate with the Imperial Imperial Army to defend against the enemy.” Dou Wei said again.

Naturally, he has his own concerns about recommending Ma Jin.

If Ma Jin was the shepherd of Jinzhou, there might still be hope for their trade with Beidi.

Hearing this, Ma Yuan snorted angrily, and said: “Ma Jin is cowardly, cowardly, incompetent, and a villain, how can he be a shepherd of Jinzhou, and this battle between the Ma family and Xiliang is really strange , It is rumored that Ma Jin colluded with Xiliang in private, trying to assassinate the King of Yan.”

“Ma Yushi, what evidence do you have to be so bloody? If the Ma family colluded with Xiliang, why did Xiliang turn back and ambush the Ma family, causing its loss of troops and generals?” Dou Wei glared at Ma Yuan.

Since Ma Xuan’s death, this Ma Yuan has opposed him everywhere, and he has long been extremely annoyed.

Zhao Heng’s expression was calm, and he looked at the two of them indifferently.

He knew what Ma Yuan said, but there was indeed no conclusive evidence.

But the Ma family is now under the control of Ma Chong, and if Ma Jin gets involved in Jinzhou, wouldn’t the power of the Ma family grow further?

This is not what he wants to see.

So now, people from the Ma family can’t be used, and King Yan can’t be in charge of Jinzhou, and at the same time, he has to be at ease.

It was indeed difficult to choose this candidate.

After thinking hard, he glanced at Ma Yuan, and then said: “This matter should be discussed in the long term, in the long term.” After

finishing speaking, he looked at the concubines who were playing together in the garden.

Leaving the minister behind, he walked over there with Liang Cheng with a smile on his face.

Seeing this, the ministers shook their heads one after another and went to admire the flowers.

“Your Majesty, this year’s flowers bloom much more vigorously than in previous years. It seems that this year is a good year.” Seeing Zhao Heng approaching, Empress Xie led the concubines over.

When he arrived among the concubines, Zhao Heng suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

With the ministers, there are always arguments and quarrels, which is tiresome.

“I’m afraid the queen doesn’t know that the peonies planted by the late emperor have blossomed,” Zhao Heng said.

Empress Xie covered her mouth in surprise, and she said: “This is really auspicious. It is said that auspiciousness will come from heaven only when a holy king comes to court. It can be seen that this is God’s approval of the emperor.”

“Hahaha…” Zhao Heng laughed. I like to hear this, “The queen will say it.”

Empress Xie was secretly proud, and she said again: “The emperor took us to see it, and let us admire it.”

After finishing speaking, she led the concubines and Zhao Heng to Peony.

The concubines were also savvy and complimented Zhao Heng again.

After talking for a while, Empress Xie glanced at Concubine Mi beside her.

She knew that Zhao Heng was not only happy because of the peony blooming.

What set off the peony blossoms was King Yan who conquered Jinzhou.

This gave Zhao Heng a feeling that Da Song was flourishing.

So she cleared her throat and said, “Your Majesty, speaking of it, it has been a year since King Yan went to Yanzhou. The concubine and concubine Mi are thinking hard. Now that the war in Jinzhou is over, why not let him celebrate the New Year this year?” I will go back to the capital to see my relatives and have a reunion.”

Concubine Mi heard the words, her eyes showed anticipation.

Since King Yan went to Yanzhou, she often missed him.

At this moment, he couldn’t help but cast a grateful look at Empress Xie.

Queen Xie’s words reminded Zhao Heng.

Yan Wang has been crazy for three years, and now he is far away in Yanzhou.

Their father and son should also be reunited.

Looking at Concubine Mi, he saw Concubine Mi looking at him as if she was waiting for him to speak.

So he said: “What the queen said is very true, but this time Beidi and Xiliang’s plan has not succeeded, I am afraid they will not let it go, King Yan can’t leave Fengtu, and when the frontier is stable, I will let him come back.”

” Thank you, Your Majesty.” Concubine Mi said, she thought that she would never see King Yan again in this life, but now she at least has thoughts.

Empress Xie patted Concubine Mi’s hand, he did it on purpose.

Now the whole court knows that King Yan supports the prince, and the Xie family and King Yan approached.

Naturally, she also wanted to do something for Concubine Mi.

Having said this, everyone played in the garden.

In the evening, Zhao Heng got up and drove back to the palace, and the ministers went back separately.

Dou Wei returned to her mansion with a dark face.

He paid such a high price and did not hesitate to use important chess pieces.

I hoped that King Yan would be dragged into the quagmire of war in Jinzhou, so that King Yan would continue to bleed, and eventually he could not hold on and weakened.

But I didn’t expect that in less than three months, King Yan would return with a big victory, and even won the territory lost by the Dasong Imperial Army before.

“My lord, the third prince is here.”

He was meditating in the study when someone reported.

“Please come in, Third Prince.” Dou Wei’s gloomy face eased a little.

Not long after, the third prince came to the study, saluted, and said, “Why didn’t my uncle object to the reward my father gave to King Yan when I visited the garden today?”

Zhao Heng didn’t ask the princes to go with him when he visited the garden.

But even so, the windy princes in the garden knew it clearly.

The mouths of concubines are not guarded.

So the reward to King Yan, and the fact that the emperor asked King Yan to visit the capital at the end of the year had already spread in the palace.

Although he knew that King Yan had made another military exploit, this reward was not too much.

And this is the reward that King Yan should have received long ago, but it was obstructed by the powerful ministers.

But he still didn’t understand why his uncle didn’t object at this time.

So, after the garden tour, he immediately came to Dou Mansion to inquire about the situation.

As a contender for the throne, what he worries most is that the forces behind him will change course.
