Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 479

[Chapter 479]

“A group of bastards.”

Dong An hesitated, untied the note on the arrow and scanned his eyes, and immediately showed an angry expression.

Continuing the contents of the note at the bottom of the letter, he sent people to Yanzhou immediately.

Looking at the bustling streets of Jinling, he sighed quietly: “Da Song is about to change.”

Seven days later.

Dong An’s letter arrived at the Palace of Yancheng.

At this time, Zhao Xu was discussing the defense of Beidi in Changwei.

After Beidi destroyed Xiliang, Mu Lehongzhen returned to the royal court.

But the situation north of Yanzhou suddenly became tense.

According to the information provided by Tsui Hark, apart from the machete and Tongniu, who were originally stationed in the Ning Jindu Division’s royal account.

Two more king tents entered Ningjindusi.

The grassland before the black iron king’s tent was also jointly managed by the two king’s tents.

In this way, Beidi has set up six royal tents in the north of Yanzhou.

In the past few days, Beidi scouts frequently appeared near Yanshan and Yanguan again, seizing every opportunity to harass the Bastion and Yanguan.

During a horse patrol, they were ambushed by Beidi and suffered casualties.

At the same time, the first batch of Xiliang people driven by Beidi also arrived at Ningjindusi.

These people were either assigned to Beidi nobles to cultivate their land, or were selected into the army to prepare for training, and some were driven to repair the city.

With all these things, Mu Lehong’s strategy against the truth surfaced faintly.

It is necessary to forge a large army as an offensive spear, and at the same time build a high wall to promote agriculture and animal husbandry as a defensive shield.

As the saying goes, it’s indecent to come and not to go, so naturally he couldn’t turn a blind eye to Beidi’s actions.

What’s more, Beidi is urging craftsmen to build ships, and envoys have gone to Korea.

It seems to have the meaning of taking back Chrysanthemum Island.

Faced with these, he couldn’t help but act.

“There’s just been a commotion here in Beidi, and there are people in Dasong who can’t bear to be lonely. It’s really troublesome.” After reading Dong An’s letter from top to bottom, he handed it to Chang Wei.

In the letter, Dong An added a paragraph below besides what happened at the court meeting.

This piece of content comes from the banquet of the powerful clan, and presents all the discussions of Dou Wei’s seven powerful clans.

In addition, Dong An also talked about the short arrow.

Obviously, someone wanted to warn him.

As for who this person is? He couldn’t figure it out at the moment.

However, at least there are people in Dasong who lend a helping hand to him.

“You bastard! They’re planning to rebel.” Chang Wei read it with anger on his face, “Your Highness, you should make a statement on this matter and impeach the seven powerful families.”

“You think things too simply, this For one thing, Dou Wei just cares about face, so I want the emperor to give them military and political power to show that they are justified.” Zhao Xu stood with his hands behind his back, “If they don’t want face, they can still firmly control the military and political power of this prefecture behind the back of the court.”

“It’s just, is it just to watch them separatize the states?” Chang Wei clenched his fists.

If things go on like this, Da Song will really compete with each other, and internal and external troubles will arise.

Zhao Xu nodded, “There is no way, Dou Wei just seized the opportunity of this peace negotiation, and now we are firmly restrained by Beidi, and we cannot be distracted.”

After a pause, he continued: “And from the letter, you feel that the Is it the sharp conflict between the powerful family and the royal family now? Especially against this king?”

Chang Wei nodded slowly after hearing this.

This time the power and clan are united unprecedentedly, not only this peace negotiation gave them a chance.

It’s that they gradually lost patience, no longer want to be suppressed by the royal family, and want to break free from all the chains that bind them.

In other words, they have made no secret of their ambitions.

“Only in this way, Yanzhou’s situation will be even more difficult.” Chang Wei said: “If they intentionally stir up civil unrest, Yanzhou’s business and trade will definitely be affected.”

“So it is imminent to open up the sea trade route.” Zhao Xu said.

The letter has already said that if he gains an advantage over Beidi, the influential people will target him.

In this way, he can only find a few more baskets for his eggs.

Next, in addition to dealing with Beidi, the most important thing in Yanzhou is to build ships.

This is his confidence to control maritime trade.

Seeing that Chang Wei was still frowning, he said: “Don’t think about it anymore. The rise and fall of a dynasty has its own destiny, beyond the reach of human power. Da Song is old, like a rotten tree. Sooner or later, the powerful clan will start a civil war and peep at the throne. , at the moment, we can only defend Yanzhou and make it rich and powerful, so that we can deal with them with ease in the future.”

After pondering for a while, he continued: “And Dou Wei still needs time to recruit troops and reorganize his military equipment. It won’t be chaotic.”

Chang Wei was relieved a lot, and said with a smile, “The general’s quick temper just means he can’t hold his breath, and His Highness has always been as stable as a mountain.”

Zhao Xu shook his head and smiled wryly, he didn’t have a little bit about the next situation where the power and clan would be separated. It’s impossible to be upset.

After all, the external aggression has not been resolved, and the internal turmoil is coming.

It’s just that history has always been so unsatisfactory.

Just like at the end of Ming Dynasty, Jurchen invaded continuously, but internal party struggles continued, and peasant uprisings swept across the country.

Although they are different in form, they lead to the same goal by different routes.

Remembering that Dong An also mentioned in the letter the three imperial orders of the court, Zhao Xu temporarily put aside the matter of the separatist regime, and said: “This king’s book is somewhat useful, and General Yang Feng’s life is saved. They are about to be exiled to Yanzhou, and now the Yang family has gathered together.”

“Yes, although Old General Yang cannot be used, it is a good thing to let him spend his life in Yanzhou.” Chang Wei’s sad face disappeared, and a smile appeared on his face.

Zhao Xu nodded, his face suddenly darkened, “Old General Yang’s coming to Yanzhou is naturally a happy event, but what do you think of the matter of the emperor ordering Princess Changle to get married?

” And it is very likely that it is Dou Wei, otherwise, how could Tiemu Tower want the princess of Changle by name?” Chang Wei’s eyes were like lightning.

Zhao Xu thought so.

He was alone in Yanzhou. If Princess Changle and Xu E hadn’t helped him at the beginning, he would have died in the hands of the Zhang family.

Now, how can I just watch her being sent to the tiger’s mouth.

What’s more, if the Ninth Prince hadn’t been crazy and stupid, Princess Changle might be his concubine now.

“This king also thinks the same way, so I won’t make the Tiemu Pagoda come true.” Zhao Xu already had an idea in his mind.

Chang Wei widened his eyes, and smiled, “Does Your Highness want to…”

“Don’t forget, this king did not have a truce with Beidi, since there is no truce, he can do anything. Standby.” Zhao Xu said.

“Yes, Your Highness.” Chang Wei responded, bowed and left.

Watching Chang Wei leave, Zhao Xu looked at the letter Dong An sent again.

He hesitated whether to write the events of the powerful family’s banquet in the memorial and send it to Zhao Heng.

After hesitating for a while, he still decided to give up.

Since this caring person sent him a letter, he might have revealed the letter to Zhao Heng.

It’s just that even if Zhao Heng knew, there was nothing he could do about it.

At most, the matter will be a showdown, and the military and political power of the powerful clan’s own state will be exchanged for the powerful clan to stop fanning the flames when collecting taxes.

But no matter how you say it, from this moment on, the duel between the powerful clan and the royal family officially kicked off.

If Zhao Heng still had some brains, he hoped that Zhao Heng could figure it out.

Don’t continue to play the bullshit balance strategy, but fall to him completely.

Tonight’s chapter, the whole person is a little weak these days, and the snails are also adjusting their status. From tomorrow, the snails will try to be more and more.
