Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 392

[Chapter 392]

Jinling.

In the Imperial Garden, Mi Yan and Yang Feng stood in front of Zhao Heng.

Looking at the emperor who was admiring the flowers, Mi Yan said: “Your Majesty, in the opinion of my ministers, this imperial conquest is not acceptable.”

Zizai in the court hall, Zhao Heng agreed to the imperial conquest without hesitation.

But he still refused to give up, this time Zhao Heng summoned him and Yang Feng, and he spoke again.

Zhao Heng frowned, “Needless to say anything, Uncle Guo, since I agreed to the Royal Conquest, how can I take back my life? You have no joke.”

Mi Yan said anxiously: “Your Majesty, this subject is thinking about the safety of the Emperor. The next Northern Expedition to Xiliang is an unprecedented battle, and Beidi will certainly participate, not to mention that Beidi now has artillery besides the invincible cavalry.”

Zhao Heng’s pupils shrank when he heard this.

During this time, news continued to come from the north.

Except that Beidi was making cannons, Xiliang was the accomplice and Beidi was the mastermind in the case of the third prince.

After hearing the news, Beidi’s blame will naturally fall on most of the Third Prince’s account.

It’s just that this incident was too humiliating to Dasong. Even with Beidi’s participation, this Northern Expedition must be fought.

This is about the face of the royal family and the dignity of Dasong.

Otherwise, how the powerful clans view the royal family, and how the people of Dasong view the court.

How will he be recorded in the history books in the future?

I am afraid that he will only become a joke in the mouths of future generations.

This made him intolerable anyway, so the Northern Expedition was not affected by the involvement of Beidi.

The most important thing is that the Dou family, the Xiao family and other powerful families did not choose to back down this time.

In his opinion, this is very rare.

In recent years, it is rare for the power clan and the royal family to work together.

If this opportunity is not seized, the Northern Expedition will be difficult.

And he will bear this humiliation to meet the late emperor under the underworld.

Therefore, he originally intended to conscript himself, and Dou Wei made a generous statement in the court, admonishing him to personally conscript and command all walks of life, and he readily agreed.

Only he can speak the law.

“That’s why this Northern Expedition is even more necessary. If you don’t take advantage of this time to send troops to Beidi and suppress their arrogance, how will the royal family deal with Beidi independently in the future?” Zhao Heng said with a serious expression, “There is no need to persuade me on this matter. I have made up my mind.”

Then he looked at Yang Feng, “Could it be that Lord Yi is also here to persuade me?”

Yang Feng said: “No, the old minister knows that the emperor will not change his mind, and he just came here this time in the hope that he would go out with him to fight for me. The son of the family will take revenge.”

“Mr. Yi, you…” Mi Yan stomped her feet angrily upon hearing this.

He thought that Yang Feng would persuade him like himself, but he didn’t expect it to add fuel to the fire.

Yang Feng said solemnly: “Mi Yushi, this Northern Expedition is not only about the three princes, but also about the rise and fall of Dasong. Not long after Xiliang took refuge in Beidi, they were still suspicious of each other. Beidi mastered the method of casting artillery, but the time is still short. If we continue to drag on, when Xiliang and Beidi are as one, and the artillery is proficient in using artillery, it will be the time for my downfall.”

Zhao Heng nodded slowly.

It is impossible to say that he has no fear of this battle in his heart.

But as Yang Feng said, this Northern Expedition was not just for the third prince.

If you can’t take this opportunity to hit Xiliang and Beidi hard, Dasong’s future will be worrying.

Therefore, the Northern Expedition was also an adventure after his careful consideration.

With the help of the firearm provided by King Yan, he won. Da Song avenged the three princes and took back the lost Qinzhou and Yongzhou. Of course, he could also bring him honor as the emperor.

No matter how much credit King Yan made, it was not his.

“Hey.” Mi Yan couldn’t say anything.

Since even Yang Feng agreed with this Northern Expedition, and Zhao Hengyu led the expedition himself, maybe he really thought too much?

It’s just that he was sensitive to officialdom, so he didn’t believe it anyway. Dou Wei raised this matter really for Da Song’s sake.

…

Prince He’s Mansion.

Zhao Mu sat in the gazebo, his eyes were cold and cold.

The nearby servants all held their breath and concentrated, not daring to make a sound.

During this time, eight servants had already been beaten to death.

The current third prince is moody and hotter than before.

Some vicious servants said in private that the third prince just stopped pretending and changed from a hypocrite to a real villain.

“How is Your Highness feeling today?” At this moment a voice came, and Dou Wei came slowly.

Hearing the sound, the third prince put away the coldness in his eyes, stood up and bowed to Dou Wei.

After returning to Dasong, he locked himself in the palace.

Only from Dou Wei’s mouth can he learn about the situation in the court.

So what I look forward to most every day is Dou Wei’s arrival.

“Uncle, please sit down.” After Zhao Mu said this, he suddenly realized that his voice was much softer, and his face was clouded again.

But he still managed to force a smile.

Now the only thing he can count on is his uncle.

Therefore, he didn’t want to make a fool of himself in front of Dou Wei.

“Uncle, what’s new in the court recently?” Zhao Mu asked, hiding his strangeness.

Dou Wei naturally noticed the change in Zhao Mu’s expression, and he deliberately pretended not to see it.

After all, no one wants to mention unpleasant things.

Sitting opposite Zhao Mu, Dou Wei said: “It’s nothing serious, it’s the Han family and the Wang family who are clamoring for money and food, and bargaining. Although I persuaded them to send troops, they don’t want to suffer.”

After a pause, he continued: “There is also the fact that Mi Yan went to the palace to dissuade the emperor’s personal conquest.”

“This Mi Yan is really an eyesore.” Hearing this, Zhao Mu snorted coldly, “Don’t spoil our good deed.”

“Hmph, Mi Yan’s time as an official is too short, he doesn’t know your father at all, it’s useless, he can’t persuade him, not to mention that this Northern Expedition is a great cause, even Yang Feng supports it.” Dou Wei said.

Zhao Mu nodded.

In order to convince the emperor to conquest in person, his uncle Dou Wei visited Xie Duan himself.

In order to support the restoration of the prince, in exchange for Empress Xie’s deaf ears in front of Zhao Heng, there was also the matter of the eldest prince supervising the country this time.

The Wang family was a fool. Seeing that the Xiao family, the Dou family, and the Xie family had a tendency to unite, they immediately turned to the Dou family and agreed to send troops, but asked the court to provide money and food for the Northern Expedition.

The Han family was alone, and although they were not happy, they had no choice but to send troops along.

It’s just that his uncle promised to give him the throne, so how could he allow it to the eldest prince.

They are just waiting for an opportunity.

In this Northern Expedition, his uncle wanted to take advantage of the war to injure Xiliang and Beidi to avenge him, and at the same time pacify the frontiers for Dasong so that he could ascend the throne smoothly in the future.

Of course, there is another purpose, which is to cause chaos in the court for the sake of integrity.

That is to try to prevent his father from coming back.

If it can be done in the war, the Dou family will naturally not need to use more cruel methods to seize the throne.

Who the throne belongs to depends only on the wrestling among powerful clans.

This is the reason why his uncle only agreed to the eldest prince to supervise the country at the moment, but did not immediately agree to the restoration of the eldest prince.

And based on the Dou family’s hard work in the capital these years, he believes that he will never lose.
