Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 457

[Chapter 457]

“The emperor turned the crisis into safety, and the war in the northern border seems to be turning around. It is really a joyous event, and my subordinate Liu Fu has the courage to toast the emperor!”

“You are King Yan’s Fu, right?” Although Zhao Heng was a little drunk, his mind was still clear.

“Exactly.” Liu Fu bowed.

Zhao Heng looked Liu Fu up and down, and said: “The position of Wang Fu Wang Fu has always been appointed by the court. Since King Yan chose you as Wang Fu, I will not interfere any more. You should fulfill your duties and live up to the entrustment of King Yan.” When

Liu Fu heard this, a strange look flashed in his eyes, “I would like to follow the emperor’s instructions.”

Zhao Xu drank his own drink and pretended not to hear.

Both his father and the second prince are not cheap.

The second prince’s every sentence alienated his relationship with Zhao Heng.

And his father dug a corner in front of him.

He said this to Liu Fu, but in fact he also said it to the officials and generals who were sitting again.

The implication is that although you are under King Yan’s command, you are still Da Song’s subjects.

He, the emperor, has the right to be promoted and demoted.

It is tantamount to reminding everyone that the one who really wants to be loyal is him, the Great Song Emperor.

“The last general also offers a toast to the emperor.” Zhong Li got up.

Seeing Zhao Heng, the smile on his face grew wider, thinking that his words had worked.

Just the next moment, his expression changed.

Zhong Li drank all the wine in the glass, and fell to the ground suddenly, making a crisp “click”.

Zhao Heng was frightened, he didn’t feel drunk, his face changed suddenly, he didn’t know why Zhongli made such a sudden change.

With anger on his face, Zhong Li said in a loud voice: “Your Majesty, the last general toast is to respect the Emperor, and throwing the wine glass is to complain for His Royal Highness Yan Wang!”

“Zhongli, the emperor is in front, how can you be so rude, come here, Captain Zhongli is drunk, send him back.”

Two guards stepped forward and were about to push Zhongli out, but Zhongli threw him away. He continued: ” Your Highness, even if you kill the head of the last general today, the last general will tell the emperor today.”

Zhao Xu wanted to scold again, but was stopped by Zhao Heng, who said, “I want to hear about the matter. The reason, what happened?”

“Your Majesty doesn’t know, just a few days ago, an army pretended to be the imperial edict, pretending to be the imperial army, trying to break into Yanguan, and used external cooperation with Beidi’s army from the sea.” Zhongli raised his voice. voice.

The other generals and officials who sat down nodded one after another.

“Fake imperial decree? Pretend to be the Imperial Army?” Zhao Heng frowned tightly, and looked at Zhao Xu, “King Yan, is this really the case?”

“Returning to my father, Captain Zhongli didn’t say a single false word.” Zhao Xu pretended to be sad at this moment. sensuality.

Then he gave Xu Lie a look, and Xu Lie left.

When he came back, he held a false imperial decree in his hand, and two more soldiers pushed a baggage cart into the yard.

“Father, please see!” Zhao Xu delivered the imperial edict.

Zhao Heng glanced, his face became extremely embarrassed.

Zhao Xu ordered the soldiers to show Zhao Heng the interlayer of the baggage cart, and at the same time told the whole story about the fake Imperial Army.

“You mean, this matter is still the result of Yuan Li colluding with Beidi?” Zhao Heng felt an evil fire hit his forehead.

Zhao Xu took Zhuoge’s confession from Xu Lie and presented it to Zhao Heng.

This confession is false, and Drog’s mouth is hard.

But it didn’t matter whether he said it or not. The soldiers forcibly pressed his finger to stamp the crime.

Zhao Heng continued to read, his hands trembling slightly as he held the confession.

Zhao Xu took the opportunity to fire up, “This Zhuoge is the deputy commander of Beidi’s Black Iron Guard. During this time, he often went to and from Fanyang to plan this matter with Yuan Li. If Ulanba’s army hadn’t died at sea this time, as long as Beidi’s army arrived in Nancheng , these mortals will take the city gate together.” After a

pause, he said in a mournful voice, “If so, now Yanzhou is gone, and the ministers will naturally be unable to save the emperor.

” !” Zhao Heng slammed the confession on the ground.

King Yan’s words made him break out in a cold sweat.

As King Yan said, if Yuan Li’s plan succeeds, King Yan would not be able to save him.

Then he is afraid that he has been captured by Beidi now.

Moreover, King Yan knew the news that he was trapped in Xiancheng, so it was impossible for Yuan Li not to know.

Yuan Li still doing this is tantamount to watching him die!

How is he not angry?

The Yanguan incident last time was suppressed by King Yan in time.

He couldn’t empathize with him, and considering the balance of Yanzhou, he opened his eyes to Yuan Liwang.

But even though there was no evidence at the time, he also felt that King Yan would not be aimless.

So when Yuan Li returned to Yanzhou, he specially reminded Yuan Li and gave him the words “loyal to the emperor and serve the country”.

Now it seems that he, Yuan Li, did not repent at all, but intensified.

The last time King Yan impeached Yuan Li for treason was basically true.

“Your Majesty, now you understand why the general complained to His Highness King Yan?” Zhong Li continued.

Liu Fu also said: “Qiu Shou in Beidi, Yanguan turmoil, and the Battle of Jinzhou. Now that the Northern Expedition has suffered setbacks, His Highness not only saved the emperor, but also reversed the declining trend of the Northern Expedition. It can be seen that His Highness King Yan is really loyal to Dasong, and this Among the four things, he, Yuan Like, did his best.” With a long

sigh, “Not only was he in vain, but he colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country twice, how could his Yuan family, He De, occupy the three southern counties of Yanzhou.”

“That’s right!” Zhong Li yelled, “The last time he conferred the reward to King Yan, although His Highness King Yan deeply felt the emperor’s favor, the generals and others felt aggrieved in their hearts. Why should he be a traitor to the enemy and sit firmly in the richest southern city?” There are three counties, and His Royal Highness Yan only has two barren lands, Ping County and Liao County?”

“Yes.”

“It really doesn’t make sense.”

“His Royal Highness has suffered a lot of grievances.”

“If Yanzhou governs Yanzhou, How could the Yuan family be in chaos again and again.”

“…”

Other generals and officials were discussing at this moment, casting their eyes on Zhao Heng from time to time.

“Ahem…Actually, I also wanted to hand over the entire Yanzhou to King Yan’s jurisdiction, but there were ministers in the court to stop me, so I was powerless.” Zhao Heng was stared at by everyone and felt guilty.

After all, he was also the instigator of this incident.

Looking at Zhao Xu, he said: “King Yan, I have indeed wronged you during this period of time. This time you saved me and thwarted Beidi’s plot to invade Yanguan. , I need to go back to Jinling to discuss with the ministers.”

After arguing for a long time, in fact, he already understood the meaning of the generals and officials under King Yan.

They wanted him to expel the Yuan family from Yanzhou and let Yanzhou rule over the entire Yanzhou.

“Father, don’t listen to their nonsense. I dare not have any criticisms against the court. It’s just that the people in Yanzhou are tough. The officials and generals under my command are naturally irritable. Sometimes I also restrain myself.” I can’t get them.” Zhao Xu had a helpless expression.

“Oh? Hehe…” These words fell into Zhao Heng’s ears, and his face turned pale.

Zhao Xu looked harmless to humans and animals, but why did he feel that this sentence was full of threats.

His eyes swept over the officials with gloomy faces and weird expressions, his heart tightened, and he said: “I am the Son of Heaven, so why bother to discuss with the ministers, the King of Yan obeys the order, and from now on, all the seven counties of Yanzhou will All of them are included in your feudal land, and you should bow down and be diligent, protect the frontier and guard the land, and don’t forget the responsibility of the royal family.”

“Father, don’t listen to their nonsense!” Zhao Heng declined again and again with a flattered look.

Zhao Heng said seriously: “This is an imperial decree, why don’t you push it back and forth, and still not accept it.”

Zhao Xu gave the generals and officials a hard look, and then he knelt down to accept the decree unwillingly.

It seems that all this has nothing to do with me.

But the moment he lowered his head, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
