Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 332

[Chapter 332]

Jinling.

At the same time that the imperial decree arrived in Yancheng, Zhao Xu’s book also arrived in Zhao Heng’s hands.

After reading the scriptures, he didn’t say anything, and he didn’t even tell Liang Cheng.

next day.

Hundreds of officials went to court early, and the ministers discovered that the emperor who had not been to court for several days had come.

Long live Shanhu, ministers look at me and I look at you, waiting for Zhao Heng to speak.

They knew that every time the emperor came to court, there must be a lot of trouble.

At this moment, Zhao Heng, who was sitting on the dragon chair, had a strange smile of an avenger on his face.

For him, the news of King Yan made him extremely refreshed, even comparable to the recovery of Jinzhou.

Ma Chong became the new head of the Ma family, and the Dou family, the Xiao family, the Ma family, the Han family, the Wang family, and the Liang family formed a single party in the court.

At the same time, they prevented him from letting the deposed prince return to the East Palace.

In the past two months of King Yan’s war, the court has actually been restless.

After Yan Wang expressed his support for his eldest brother Zhao Gang, he and Queen Xie moved to make Zhao Gang the prince again.

It’s just that as soon as he asked Mi Yan to propose it, he was immediately strongly opposed by Dou Wei.

Because of King Yan’s support, he did not give in easily this time, and insisted on letting Zhao Gang re-enter the East Palace.

But the next day, Dou Wei repeated his old tricks and was able to recover from his illness.

At the same time, a large number of officials of powerful clans in Beijing complained of illness.

Due to Dasong’s election system, the ruling officials were either from the powerful family or from the powerful disciples.

This paralyzed the government affairs of the entire capital.

But even so, he did not back down and dismissed a large number of officials who pretended to be sick.

It’s just that after he did this, the situation became more serious.

Officials of local wealthy families who were vassals of powerful families also began to complain of illness.

Seeing this continues, the law, taxes, and the army will all have big problems.

He had to put aside the matter of establishing the prince again.

However, despite the compromise, he still couldn’t forget Dou Wei’s smug eyes when he returned to court.

During this time, he has been looking for an opportunity to rectify Dou Wei.

Now, Yan Wang provided him with a chance.

Among the eight powerful families, the Ma family guards the northwest frontier, and has always played a very important role in Dasong.

If the Ma family can be prevented from cooperating with the Dou family, it will deal a heavy blow to Dou Wei’s arrogance in the court.

When the Ministers of Civil and Military Affairs lined up on both sides, he cleared his throat and said, “Dear dears, I have a happy event to share with you today.”

Hearing this, Dou Wei looked at Han Zheng and the others, feeling vaguely uneasy.

For them, Zhao Heng’s good news is naturally bad news for them.

“I don’t know what the news is? It makes the emperor so happy.” Although he was uncomfortable, as the prime minister, Dou Wei took Zhao Heng’s words.   Zhao Heng

looked at Dou Wei, and raised the memorial in his hand at this moment, “The King of Yan sent me a memorial to tell me that Ma Han, the eldest son of Ma Xuan and the governor, is still alive.”

“What!”

average.

Especially Ma Yuan, in two days, he will go to Jinzhou to take up his post.

This news was a shock to him.

Dou Wei shook his hand, and the court card he was holding almost fell to the ground.

The third prince, Zhao Mu, was even paler.

Zhao Heng was very satisfied with Dou Wei’s frightened appearance. He hadn’t seen Dou Wei lose his composure for a long time.

“Your Majesty, is this serious?” Ma Yuan’s lips trembled, his eyes fixed on the booklet in Zhao Heng’s hand.

Zhao Heng ordered Liang Cheng to hand over the memorial to Ma Yuan, and at the same time said: “How can the memorial written by the King of Yan be false? Now Ma Han is in Yancheng.”

Ma Yuan read it and knew what happened to Ma Han after he was assassinated.

The shocked look on his face gradually turned into wild laughter, “Hahaha, my Ma family will never die.”

Dou Wei forced a smile, and said, “This matter is indeed worthy of congratulations, but…”

Having said that, He hesitated to speak.

“But what?” Zhao Heng narrowed his eyes, wanting to see what Dou Wei had to say.

“However, Your Majesty, this is a family matter of the Ma family. Now Ma Chong is deeply respected by the Ma family and is recognized as the head of the family. Even if Ma Han is alive, it seems that he should not change it. Otherwise, it will easily cause internal turmoil in the Ma family and lead to instability in the northwest border. “Dou Wei said.

Ma Yuan sneered again and again, and he said: “Hmph, who said that the Ma family recognized Ma Chong? The elders of the Ma family just don’t know that Ma Han is still alive. Once he returns to the Ma family, how can Ma be the head of the family?” The reason for rushing to sit.”

Dou Wei looked at Ma Yuan, “I just said this, whether Ma Han can go back or not, and whether he can inherit the position of Patriarch when he goes back, it is ultimately up to your Ma family to decide.”

Zhao Heng snorted softly.

He understood what Dou Wei meant.

The royal family has always been non-interfering in the internal affairs of the powerful clan.

The power clan also does not interfere in the internal affairs of the power clan.

What he meant was to let the Ma family solve this matter by themselves.

Instead of him, the emperor, appointing Ma Han as the head of the Ma family.

“That’s true, Your Majesty, the old minister left for Yancheng these two days, took over Jinzhou, and then brought Ma Han back to the Ma family to assume the position of the Ma family’s patriarch. The old minister wants to see if anyone in the Ma family objects!” Ma Yuan squinted at Dou Wei.

It was rumored that Ma Han was dead before, so he naturally had no reason to stop Ma Chong.

But now that Ma Han was still alive, even if he tried his best, he couldn’t let Ma Chong continue to sit in the position of Patriarch.

Zhao Heng nodded. There was another reason why he only showed this book to Ma Yuan and not others.

That is, King Yan proposed to borrow troops and Ma Han to take back the position of Ma family Patriarch when necessary.

In this regard, he agrees in his heart.

It is inconvenient for him to send out the imperial army to intervene, but King Yan and Ma Han have a very good personal relationship, so it is always feasible to borrow some “guards”.

And the rest can only be seen in the game between Ma Han and Ma Chong.

Dou Wei glanced at Ma Yuan, then at Zhao Heng, with a hint of worry in his eyes.
