Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 513
[Chapter 513]
Together Jinling.
The news that Changle Princess was robbed on the road with his relatives arrived here after expediting eight hundred miles.
Dou Wei immediately gathered seven powerful families into the palace to seek an audience.
“Your Majesty, the King of Yan is destroying the peace agreement. If this action angers Beidi, how will it end?” Dou Wei was filled with righteous indignation in the imperial study room.
The faces of the others were full of anger, this King Yan was simply lawless.
Although they forced Zhao Heng to make an order, the current families are separatist.
But for them, Dasong Jiangshan is shared by the powerful family and the royal family.
They just took back what belonged to them.
From now on, Dasong Chaotang will no longer be decided by the Zhao family.
The seven of them want to truly rule Dasong together with Zhao Heng.
Therefore, King Yan’s move seriously endangered their interests.
If Beidi tore up the peace agreement and launched another attack, they would also suffer losses.
This is what they don’t want to see when they are accumulating strength.
“In this matter, King Yan is indeed Meng Lang.” Zhao Heng frowned, extremely annoyed.
What’s even more exasperating is that the King of Yan actually let his soldiers and horses fly the banner of the King of Yan in a grand manner.
This is simply deliberately humiliating Beidi.
It would be strange not to anger Beidi!
“How can the word Meng Lang describe it? It’s simply rebellious. Your Majesty, if King Yan is not punished this time, what face will the court have?” Liang Kai said loudly.
Han Zheng echoed: “Liang Shangshu’s words are very true. This time he dared to rob his relatives, and next time he dared to raise troops to rebel.”
After speaking, he and Liang Kai looked at each other.
The news that the pirates on Wufeng Island were wiped out has reached the two of them.
Han Zheng also knew that the Laijun Wharf was attacked by black shark pirates.
Undoubtedly, King Yan slapped him in the face for not giving him the Han family’s face.
Liang Kai gave Han Zheng an affirmative look.
Although Wufeng Island was wiped out by the Black Shark pirates, this left his Liang family without enemies in the southeast waters.
However, in his opinion, a black shark pirate who can wipe out Wufeng Island is more terrifying than Wufeng Island.
He must do everything possible to weaken King Yan.
On this issue, Han Zheng reached an agreement with him.
“Your Majesty, King Yan cannot be spared lightly.”
“He is not only humiliating Beidi, but also the Emperor.”
“…”
Wang Zi’an, Fan Xinglun, Xiao Cheng and others angrily reprimanded one after another.
Seeing the agitation of the power clans, Zhao Heng was angry and flustered at the same time.
He was angry because he was worried that King Yan’s rescue of Princess Changle would anger Beidi, make him tear up the peace agreement, and go south again.
For this, he was extremely unwilling, and neither were the influential people.
The imperial court couldn’t afford to fight, and the powerful clan didn’t want to fight either.
“How do you think we should deal with this matter!” Zhao Heng asked.
King Yan’s behavior made him wonder whether it was appropriate to fully support King Yan?
In Yanzhou, he had already seen King Yan’s toughness.
Whether it is against Beidi or the powerful clan.
If you don’t put a chain on him, who will be able to suppress him in the future!
“First, please ask the emperor to issue an imperial edict immediately to let King Yan hand over the princess of Changle. Second, how can King Yan be able to govern Yanzhou with such a character? I think that the three southern counties of Yanzhou should be cut off and other officials will be in charge. ” Dou Wei said sullenly.
Han Zheng was overjoyed when he heard the words, and gave Dou Wei an appreciative look.
In the past, the Yuan family was in charge of the three southern counties, and Qizhou was not bordered by King Yan’s land, so he didn’t feel the crisis.
But now, to the north of Qizhou is Yanzhou.
The black shark pirates attacked the Lai County Wharf again.
King Yan’s threat to the Han family is already obvious.
“What the Prime Minister said is very true, the character of the king of Yan is no longer qualified to rule the seven counties of Yanzhou.” Han Zheng immediately agreed.
Zhao Heng frowned even deeper.
Although King Yan did this matter extremely inappropriately.
But there is still a trace of clarity in his mind, that is, even if he can’t completely trust King Yan.
Nor can it cooperate with the powerful clan to weaken King Yan.
After all, the imperial decree has been issued, and the powerful clans in front of him are no longer just ministers of powerful clans, but equivalent to a party of princes.
These scenes are similar to the separatist rule and Zeng in the last years of the Liang Dynasty.
Furthermore, King Yan is not a prince now.
If he cut off the three southern counties, will King Yan agree?
If not, how will it end next?
Thinking of this, he said to Dou Wei and the others: “Go back, I’ll think about it, and I’ll give you an answer later.”
Dou Wei nodded, just bent slightly towards Zhao Heng, and led the others away.
His attitude was no longer as submissive as before.
For Zhao Heng and the court, the only meaning of existence for him is to maintain Dasong’s current struggle without breaking through.
The declining Zhao family is no longer worthy of being regarded as a royal family by them, and should return to its original position.
Like them, he should be one of the powerful clans.
Of course, he only kept these thoughts in his heart.
He also needs to rely on the imperial court to seek benefits for the Dou family and suppress opponents at the same time.
Wait for Dou Wei and others to leave.
Zhao Heng asked Liang Chengxuan to enter the palace.
Half an hour later, Mi Yan arrived at the Imperial Study Room.
“Mi Yushi, you have done a good job. How do you deal with this matter now? In my opinion, we still have to let the powerful clan and King Yan restrain each other, and favor no one.” Zhao Heng kidnapped King Yan and took Princess Changle away. After talking about the matter, he began to reprimand Mi Yan.
“Hahaha…” Mi Yan laughed loudly, “Your Majesty, have you forgotten that King Yan and Beidi are still at war, and the Northern Expedition has not really ended yet? In this case, why can’t King Yan rob Changle County?” Lord, besides, King Yan did not move his hand on the land of Dasong, but at the foot of Yinshan Mountain, on the land of Beidi, what’s wrong?” After a
pause, Mi Yan continued: “This one It can be said that Bei Di is incompetent, and that he lost a trick to the King of Yan in this matter, if they are not convinced, they can just ask the King of Yan for an explanation, so what is the matter with the court?”
“This…” Zhao Heng was suddenly speechless.
Indeed, King Yan and Beidi are at war.
What was wrong with King Yan robbing Princess Changle on the territory of Beidi?
“It’s just that the courtiers are worried that Bei Di will become angry, violate the contract, and go south again.” Zhao Heng said, “So they asked me to deal with King Yan.
” I want to weaken the King of Yan.”
He snorted angrily, and said again: “Furthermore, this time Beidi agreed to negotiate a peace, which was a helpless act. If he wanted to destroy the King of Yan with all his heart, and then turned his head to destroy Da Song, how could he not be defeated because of this?” Let’s go to war again after getting married?”
“It’s reasonable, but even so, I’m afraid that Bei Di will appease me if something happens.” Zhao Heng calmed down, “Besides, since Dou Wei and the others are making trouble, how can they let it go? If you don’t give them a satisfactory answer, there will be trouble.”
“The emperor wants to sacrifice the interests of King Yan in exchange for a temporary peace?” Mi Yan’s eyes widened.
At this moment, he suddenly felt cold from head to toe.
Last time, he thought he had persuaded Zhao Heng.
But obviously, he underestimated this fickleness.
“King Yan is always easier to talk to than Dou Wei and the others, and you know that the court has nothing to do with them.” Zhao Heng sighed, as if he had aged a lot.
The last time the imperial edict was issued, he knew that the royal family was no longer the royal family, but only the Zhao family.
The powerful people still called him His Majesty because they didn’t want to tear his face apart.
He, the Great Song Emperor, is no longer able to rule the world.
From now on, he only wants to live a life of ease and wealth, and has nothing else to think about.
