Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 449

[Chapter 449 Compromise]

Liang Mansion.

Liang Kai was taking a walk in the courtyard with the Fifth Prince Zhao She.

Liang Feng and Zhao She walked side by side, talking and laughing from time to time.   When he came to the pond and looked at the carp swimming in the water, Zhao She said: “Uncle, the eldest prince seems to be winning now. I heard that the little eunuch next to him

privately asked someone to embroider the dragon robe.”

Gao Wei is familiar with each other.

Seeing Gao Wei sneaking to the tailor shop, he followed him.

Pretending to meet by chance, please Gao Wei for some wine.

This Gao Wei has always been incapable of drinking, and he spoke the truth when he was drunk.

When Liang Kai heard this, he sneered, “What he thought was really beautiful, but it was just an empty dream.”

As far as he knew, even if the third prince became useless, Dou Wei did not give up his plan to put him on the throne.

What is the reason?

Whoever the new king enthroned falls to will continue to prosper.

In the past, his Liang family gave up many opportunities for the power of maritime trade.

Now, he no longer wants to be a spectator, but to become a chess player on the chessboard.

Moreover, there is another important factor for his Liang family to take the initiative to participate in the battle for the throne this time.

That is King Yan.

In the news from the north this time, he didn’t care much about King Yan going south to attack the Yuan family.

Rather shocking was another incident that seemed to have nothing to do with King Yan.

Then Wulanba, the son of Beidi Khan, led more than 300 building boats southward, and all of them were destroyed on the beach of Laoting County.

Although, the news said that it was only done by pirates.

But he is not like other powerful clans who know nothing about naval warfare.

Three hundred large ships full of soldiers, if not for the warships loaded with artillery, it would be impossible to defeat them so easily.

Even if this so-called pirate is not a force secretly developed by King Yan, he has a very deep friendship with King Yan.

As for these two points, he didn’t want to see any of them.

Therefore, if he can support the fifth prince to ascend the throne, he must make the fifth prince strictly enforce the ban on the sea.

Privately built ships are not even allowed.

In this way, King Yan’s ambitions for the ocean can be controlled.

His Liang family has always monopolized the benefits of maritime trade so that part of it will not be cut off.

“Liang Feng, you should go back to Zhejiang Province immediately and let my Liang family’s naval division prepare well. If there is any turmoil in the capital, I will immediately arrive at Jinling from Jiujiang.” Liang Kai said, “This time the battle for the crown prince, even if the Fifth Highness cannot be allowed to board When he ascends to the throne, he must let the new king see the strength of my Liang family and promise many benefits to my Liang family, otherwise he will not be able to sit securely on the throne.”

“Yes, father.” Liang Feng answered yes, turned and left .

A smile appeared on the corner of Zhao She’s mouth. Originally, he basically had no chance with the throne.

Now that the Liang family gave him a push, he was already secretly glad.

Of course, it would be great if he could really sit on the throne.

It is different from the secret preparations of the Liang family and the Dou family.

At this moment, Han Zheng was in mourning in his mansion in Jinling.

If the second prince is in the capital right now, he will naturally fight for the throne.

But the second prince was afraid that the emperor would never come back again.

Of course, there was another thing that troubled him, and that was the fact that King Yan went south to Fanyang.

His younger brother, Han Qi, has sent a message.

Yuan Li fled without a fight, and led the Yuan family’s 60,000 elites to defect to his Han family.

Although he had always hoped that the Yuan family would once again attach to the Han family and be controlled by his Han family.

But never thought that the Yuan family would defect to the Han family in this way.

The Yuan family without the three southern counties is not the same as the Yuan family with the three southern counties.

“Brother Han, what should you say if you say something?” Wang Zi’an sat opposite Han Zheng, drinking tea slowly.

After returning to the mansion from the palace, Han Zheng didn’t say a word.

He knew that the Han family had spent a lot of effort on the second prince over the years.

Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, this move became a waste move.

“After so many years of tossing around, all previous efforts have been wasted.” Han Zheng said, he hoped that Zhao Heng and the second prince would come back.

In this way, it would not be a waste of time to fetch water from a bamboo basket.

Wang Zi’an shook his head, “Don’t get entangled in this matter, let’s think about it now, if the emperor doesn’t come back, who should we help?”

“Whoever wins, we will help.” Han Zheng slapped the table .

Since it is impossible to support the second prince to ascend the throne.

So in this battle for the throne, they just watched from the other side.

A last-minute coup de grace to the loser is enough.

In the previous changes of the throne, the powerful families who did not support the prince all did this.

Wang Zi’an thought so, and that’s what he thought too.

“However, compared to the battle for the throne, King Yan is what you and I should be wary of right now.” Han Zheng said, “Yuan Li was expelled by King Yan, and my Han family will face King Yan’s soldiers from now on.” Wang Zi’an nodded

solemnly Nodding, this matter really needs to be discussed by the two parties.

…

Qinzhou.

salty city.

In Ma’s mansion, crackling sounds continued to come from the courtyard.

With disheveled hair, Zhao Heng kept throwing the food and wine on the ground.

“Is this how you serve me? Is this food? Even pigs can’t eat these things.” Zhao Heng was furious.

Liang Cheng almost bent his waist on the ground, wanting to cry, “Your Majesty, there are only rice and wheat left in the army, and there are no vegetables in winter. It is not easy to find a few radishes.”

“Without vegetables, don’t you even have meat ?” Is it?” Zhao Heng’s eyes were red.

These two days, apart from rice, he ate steamed buns and boiled radishes.

How could he, who was used to rich clothes and fine food, bear it.

“Your Majesty, when Ma Jin fled, what was left behind was an empty city with nothing in it.” Liang Cheng was cautious.

The emperor’s temper is getting worse and worse now.

Even he was often beaten and scolded, not to mention other little eunuchs.

A few of them were not well served and were directly pulled out and beaten to death.

“Then kill the horse!” Zhao Heng shouted.

“But…” He just wanted to say that Yang Feng strictly forbids killing horses for meat.

But seeing Zhao Heng’s expression, he swallowed the words.

“Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

When Zhao Heng heard this, he became even more irritable.

As if dazed, he said, “This scoundrel Zhao Gang will not send soldiers to rescue me, the powerful clan will not send people to rescue me, and the King of Yan will not come. You all hope for my death, so you want to fight for the world, right? ”

“You wait, when I go back, I will kill you one by one.”

“…” After screaming for a while, he saw the second   prince

walking in, and asked anxiously: “What do people from Beidi say?”

With a dejected look on his face, “The Beidi people refused to agree, saying that they must capture the father.”

Zhao Heng sat down on the ground when he heard this.

These days, he lived in fear all day long, and finally couldn’t stand it anymore.

So the second prince sent someone to ask Beidi for peace.

At the beginning, he said that he was willing to cede Qinzhou and Yongzhou, and promised Beidi five million two-year-old tribute every year.

Beidi people did not agree.

Later, he surrendered his status again and became a minister to Beidi.

Now that the second prince brought the news, Mule Hongzhen still refused to agree.
