Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 375

[Chapter 375 National Humiliation]

“Father, something has happened!”

When Liang Kai was upset, the eldest son Liang Feng hurried over.

His heart sank, he thought that there was something unfavorable to the Liang family, so he hurriedly asked: “What’s the matter?”

“The third prince was captured by Xiliang soldiers. This matter has just been reported to the capital, and the emperor is afraid that he will be furious.” Not only was there no trace of worry, but it was full of ridicule, “The capture of the prince is a great disgrace to the country, and the third prince will not be destined for the throne from now on.”

“It’s serious!” Liang Kai looked excited and grabbed Liang Feng’s shoulder.

Since ancient times, it is impossible for any emperor to allow a prince who has been captured by an enemy country to continue his rule.

Otherwise, the face of the royal family will be wiped out.

“It’s absolutely true. It is said that Dou Wei passed out immediately after hearing the news.” Liang Feng giggled.

“God help my Liang family. For the sake of sea power, my Liang family and the Dou family agreed to support the third prince in the fight for the throne in exchange for support. These years have caused the fifth prince to suffer a lot of grievances.” Liang Kai paced back and forth.

These years, the Liang family did not support the prince’s fight for the throne, not because the Liang family didn’t care about the throne, but because they had other plans.

But the Dou family violated the agreement for the cannon.

The Liang family did not support him at all.

Even though his Liang family gave in at that time, he was already dissatisfied with Dou Wei.

Now that the third prince was captured by Xiliang, he no longer needed to let the fifth prince swallow his anger.

From then on, he could openly support the five princes in their fight for the crown prince.

…

Dou’s family.

Dou Wei passed out, woke up, howled, and passed out several times.

The whole Dou Mansion was in chaos.

Dou Kuang and his mother Xiao Shi served in front of Dou Wei’s bed.

Dou Wei is still asleep.

Xiao Shi sighed at this time, “Your father has always loved the third prince, this really killed him.”

“What mother said is that father loves the third prince a thousand times more than a child.” Dou Kuang smiled , but a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes.

Xiao Shi heard the words, hesitated to speak, and finally said: “You are his eldest son, so he should be stricter with you.”

“Maybe.” Dou Kuang just responded.

He can tell the difference between disgust and sternness.

“You said you did a good job of investigating the horse, but why did you fall into an ambush?” Xiao Shi sighed again.

Ma Jin voted for Xiliang, and Wuguan, which was guarded by the Dou family, became a border pass.

Under the instruction of Dou Wei, the third prince proposed to go to Wuguan to inspect and defend.

The original intention is to make military achievements at Wuguan.

Unexpectedly, such a disaster happened.

According to the Dou family general who sent the news.

Ma Jin often sent cavalry to Wuguan to insult Dou Wei.

How could the generals of the Dou family bear it, and often sent cavalry to fight against Ma Jin’s cavalry.

Six days ago, when the Dou family inspected the horses, they found a Ma family cavalry with less than 500 men coming to Wuguan again.

The third prince, who was about to return to the capital, was eager to make another contribution, so he led two thousand troops to attack.

I never thought that I was fighting with it.

Suddenly, a large number of Xiliang soldiers rushed out from both sides of the mountain road, and the third prince was shot and captured.

“Soldiers are cunning, the third prince has never fought a war, maybe he just stumbled.” Dou Kuang’s eyes flickered.

At this moment, Dou Wei groaned and woke up slowly.

“Hurry up, prepare your official uniform, I’m going to see the emperor…” Dou Wei struggled to get up.

Xiao hurriedly persuaded: “Master, let’s lie down for a while.”

“If you are told to go, you can go! Cough…” Dou Wei was furious.

“Father, the official uniform is ready. For such an important event, my child knows that my father must meet the emperor.” At this moment Dou Kuang said suddenly, and then he waved his hand, and a servant came in.

Dou Wei nodded, just got out of bed and put on the official uniform, and took the old servant outside.

Dou Kuang sent Dou Wei to the door and watched the carriage leave with a sneer on his lips.

…

the palace.

The news of the third prince’s capture also reached Zhao Heng’s ears.

He was playing with an oriole because he was so angry that he smothered his love bird to death without realizing it.

It wasn’t until Liang Cheng reminded him that he came back to his senses.

He was so angry that he could hardly stand still.

When she was in a rage, Concubine Dou came over crying and knelt down in front of him, “Your Majesty, I beg you, please save Mu’er. He also wholeheartedly serves the country…”

“Enough, do you really think I have nothing?” Do you know? He went to Wuguan to gain military merit and come back to compete with the crown prince for the crown prince. If you all put your minds on the right track, how could this happen today!” Zhao Heng was furious.

The loss of Qinzhou and Yongzhou made him feel depressed these days.

Now that the third prince was captured again, it was a national humiliation.

Now he can even think of Xiliang Shanyu Murong Hao’s proud face.

King Yan got him back in Jinzhou, but Xiliang got him back again.

“Your majesty, even if Mu’er is wrong, he is still your son, the prince of Dasong. Are you going to let him fall into the hands of Xiliang people and be tortured? Your majesty, I beg you, save Mu’er.” Son.” Concubine Dou kowtowed continuously, her face full of tears.

“Save! How do you ask me to save?” Zhao Heng was even more angry.

Now he is also in a panic, not knowing what to do.

If the third prince comes back, I don’t know what kind of conditions Xiliang will offer.

One was making trouble and the other was angry. At this time, an eunuch came to report to Dou Wei to see him.

“Tell him that I won’t see him alone, and tell him to call a group of ministers to discuss matters in the Golden Palace.” Zhao Heng snorted.

Now whether it is Dou Guifei or Dou Wei, he feels disgusted.

If it weren’t for them, how could such humiliation happen.

After half an hour.

All the ministers arrived, and Zhao Heng arrived at the Jinluan Hall with Liang Cheng’s support.

The news of the third prince’s capture had spread all over Jinling, and there were many discussions after the ministers arrived.

Officials sent by Dou Weiyi were all downcast, as if they had nothing to love.

They knew very well that even if the third prince was rescued, the prince could only be a idle king from now on.

The second prince, the crown prince and a group of officials obviously took pleasure in other’s misfortune.

For them, without the opponent of the third prince, the position of crown prince is a little closer to themselves.

Zhao Heng saw this scene in his eyes, and sat on the dragon chair suppressing his anger.

“Look at this, you all know what to do?” Zhao Heng supported his head, he was physically and mentally exhausted at the moment.

“Father, my son thinks that the third elder brother is my prince Dasong, and he should do his best to rescue him, otherwise Dasong will lose face. Why don’t we send envoys to Xiliang first to find out what Xiliang Shanyu means? It would be best if the silver was redeemed.” A young man came out, but it was the Fifth Prince Zhao She.

The prince and the second prince looked at Zhao She in surprise.

This fifth younger brother has always been very low-key and rarely speaks in court.

“It would be best if I could redeem it with silver, but it would be too depressing for me. Father, why don’t you order the Xiliang people to hand over your third brother first, and threaten war with Xiliang. Xiliang is afraid, so naturally third brother Fang will come back.” .” The second prince said.

“No! Wouldn’t this put the third prince in danger and annoy the people of Xiliang, who can do anything.” Dou Wei said hurriedly, while glaring at the second prince.

“What if the people of Xiliang refuse to exchange the money for the third prince? The only thing they can do is fight, which makes them terrified.”

“Things that can be settled with money are nothing serious.”

“…” The

second prince and Dou Wei took the lead, and the officials immediately started arguing, their faces flushed red.

The more Zhao Heng watched, the more annoyed he became, and he said angrily, “That’s enough, shut up!”
