Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 461

[Chapter 461 Changes]

Dou Mansion.

Dou Wei also learned about Zhao Heng’s escape, and also learned about Zhao Heng’s going to Yancheng.

After waving the messenger to go out, he took a carriage to the third prince’s residence.

“Hot air balloon, what is this? I’ve never heard of it.”

Dou Wei told Zhao Mu about the cause and effect, and Zhao Mu lost color slightly.

“I don’t know about it, but the emperor was indeed rescued.” Dou Wei said.

Zhao Mu nodded, his eyes darkened, “So, the enthronement will be postponed again.”

Seeing this, Dou Wei patted Zhao Mu’s hand, “I will give you what uncle promised you.

” It may not be a bad thing. When the emperor was trapped in Xiancheng and Beidi was worthy, they might not accept our conditions in private. In this way, even if you ascend the throne, you may only face a tribute to internal and external troubles. What’s more, there are A king of Yan is by his side.”

Zhao Heng was trapped in Xiancheng, and the news came too suddenly.

Although he was full of distrust towards Beidi in his bones, at that time he could only have illusions in his heart.

I hope Beidi can cooperate with them.

After all, the most important thing is to let the third prince ascend the throne first.

Everything else will be discussed after the third prince ascends the throne.

Although Zhao Mu was unwilling, he was a smart man, so he couldn’t help but nodded.

Everything changes due to changes in the current situation, so naturally we cannot stick to the old ways.

He said: “Since that’s the case, what is uncle going to do next?”

Dou Wei pondered for a moment, “Since the emperor is safe and sound, then we will pick up the previous plan, and this time the new army of the forbidden army suffered heavy losses, so the original plan will be easier.” It has been implemented, but we have to wait for the opportunity and plan it slowly, other powerful clans will not let us.”

Zhao Mu nodded solemnly.

Over the years, the royal family has declined, and the eight major clans have been indistinctly divided.

Zhao Heng and the other princes knew it well.

Up to now, states and counties controlled by powerful clans basically no longer pay taxes to the imperial court, and they are actively recruiting troops in private.

With money and soldiers, the powerful clans seem to be the local emperors who control the states and counties, ruling the roost, just like a feudal king.

Originally, his uncle just wanted to accumulate political achievements for him, establish military merits, and ascend to the throne smoothly.

But after being humiliated by Xiliang, he never had this chance again.

Then the Dou family had only one bloody way to send him to the throne.

This is relying on the soldiers and horses of the Dou family and the Xiao family.

He used swords to force the Xie family, the Han family, the Liang family and other powerful families to recognize him as the emperor.

Of course, his uncle was still unwilling to take this move until the final move.

Because when the time comes, there will definitely be a battle between the eight major clans, and the winner will be determined.

As for the royal family, the Northern Expedition failed and the new army suffered heavy losses.

The empty treasury will not be able to support his father to build a new army.

The majesty of the royal family has further declined, and it is even more unable to confront the powerful clan.

It’s not in his consideration either.

“But there is still the King of Yan.” Thinking of this, a person flooded into Zhao Mu’s mind, “I know what Zhao Xu has in mind when he asks his father to go to Yancheng this time.”

Dou Wei narrowed his eyes, and he said: ” This is exactly what I am worried about, but this time King Yan rescued the emperor, Bei Di will definitely hate him, maybe we don’t have to take action, Bei Di will leave him no time to look south.”

Then continued: “The current situation is too complicated, I will also deduce If there is no result, everything will be determined after your father comes back, but no matter what, you must continue to accumulate troops. If your ascension to the throne does not go well, hmph, I would rather destroy the world than I will Let others get it.”

Zhao Mu nodded slowly, with an almost perverted smile flowing from the corner of his mouth.

The sole purpose of his life now is to ascend the throne.

He is a useless person, but he can pass the throne to his children and grandchildren.

For this reason, what is the relationship between father and son!

afternoon.

The eldest prince called a group of ministers to discuss matters.

Knowing that the emperor was out of danger, the ministers had different expressions, naturally some were happy and some were disappointed.

But there was one expression on their faces, that of joy.

Immediately, the First Prince announced that he would send 30,000 imperial troops to Yancheng to welcome Zhao Heng back to the capital.

The ministers naturally did not have any objections.

…

Yancheng.

Zhao Xu and Zhao Heng returned from Yanguan.

A day later, Han Qi and Wang Kang arrived in Yancheng successively.

“Your Majesty, I am late to save you, and I will die, I will die.”

Xingyuan.

Seeing Zhao Heng, Han Qi and Wang Kangju both knelt down and burst into tears.

Zhao Heng also had red eye circles, looking moved.

Seeing Han Qi, the second prince straightened up a lot.

Zhao Xu was also there, but he just watched with a sneer.

These powerful clans are not good at fighting, but their acting skills are comparable to movie kings.

After staged a scene where the monarch and his ministers meet.

Han Qi asked warmly for a few words, and suddenly said sadly: “Why did the emperor give the three southern counties to King Yan? Isn’t this chilling the hearts of the Yuan family’s officers and men? Or, they were deceived by some people.”

While talking, Han Qi Qi swept towards Zhao Xu.

“Han Zhoumu doesn’t have to point fingers at Sang and scold Huai, you can just say that this king is deceitful.” Zhao Xu said bluntly, not giving Han Qi any face.

These bastards shrink back when fighting, and now that the war is initially decided, and their own interests are involved, they bite people like mad dogs.

That’s right, he did use some tricks this time, but don’t they know what the Yuan family is?

He is about to make a decision on the three southern counties!

He didn’t believe that Zhao Heng would refute his face at this time.

Zhao Heng glanced at Zhao Xu, then at Han Qi.

This time he made up his mind to use King Yan to check and balance the powerful clan.

After all, the imperial army suffered heavy losses, and only King Yan could take action.

The more prominent King Yan is, the safer he is.

So he said: “Yuan Li’s crime evidence is all there, what can be refuted, and the imperial decree has been issued, there is no possibility of taking it back, I would like to ask you, where is Yuan Li now?

” The imperial decree, the armor of the forbidden army and other things were brought over.

Han Qi was stunned for a moment, and his heart skipped a beat, “Your Majesty, this confession may also be tortured, and the physical evidence may also be forged.”

Zhao Heng was furious, “Are you tricking me into being a three-year-old urchin? In Yanzhou, everyone except Yan King, who else can make so many luggage and so many imperial armors with this ability, and you, Han Qi, made it?”

“Your Majesty, I have nothing to do with you at this time.” Han Qi suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Looking at King Yan, seeing Zhao Xu’s bad smile, he immediately gritted his teeth with hatred.

This king of Yan is too cunning, coaxing Zhao Heng into his territory, Zhao Heng naturally has confidence in dealing with powerful families like them.

If they were in Jinling like last time, Zhao Heng would have no choice but to submit to pressure from powerful clansmen.

Furthermore, Zhao Heng is naturally more afraid of King Yan than they are at this moment.

After all, whoever owns the territory is in charge.

I’m afraid he’s going to get it for the dumb loss this time.

Although the Han family had always wanted the Yuan family to become a vassal of the Han family, the Han family even hoped that the Yuan family would bring the three southern counties to join them.

That’s why he asked for the three southern counties.

“In that case, you should send someone to arrest Yuan Li and send him to Yancheng.” Zhao Heng stared at Han Qi and said.

Han Qi opened his mouth, and suddenly wanted to give himself two mouths.

This time I was really stealing chickens and losing money.
