Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 585

[Chapter 585]

Jinling.

royal palace.

Golden Temple.

Xie Duan stood under the main hall, looking at the dragon chair above.

The eldest prince stood beside him, his eyes flickering.

“Uncle, what should we do now?” Zhao Gang sighed, “Father has gone to Yanzhou, what should I do? If it doesn’t work, I will go to Yanzhou too? lest Yanwang bewitch father.”

Xie Duan sneered , “Are you going to throw yourself into a trap? Don’t you know how the imperial edict to make you the crown prince was obtained?”

Zhao Gang shrank his neck. He had already heard from his mother that the imperial edict was forced.

“Brother, you should think of a way. The emperor has designated Yancheng as the imperial city. It’s clear that he doesn’t want to come back, and this Yanzhou is the territory of the King of Yan. We must never go there.” At this time Empress Xie walked in from the door.

She just came from the harem, although the two bastards Dou Wei and Xiao Cheng didn’t burn down the palace, they even scraped away the gold leaf on the palace wall.

“What should we do? Hmph, taking advantage of the chaos in Jinling, King Yan plundered the emperor and coerced the emperor to order the princes. His intentions were wrong. The country cannot be without a king for a day. The eldest prince is the crown prince appointed by the emperor. Rule, rule the world.” Xie Duan said.

Originally, he wanted to rescue Zhao Heng, force Zhao Heng to become the eldest prince, and then find a way to get rid of Zhao Heng.

After that, he regarded himself as a great ode to the royal orthodoxy, and took over the royal states and counties.

After completely controlling these states and counties, they will unite with other powerful clans to deal with the unstoppable King Yan.

But Zhao Heng’s trip to Yanzhou disrupted all his plans.

First of all, Zhao Heng went to Yanzhou, which was tantamount to a complete break with the powerful clan.

Yanzhou is the territory of King Yan, and the powerful clan can’t influence it at all.

Zhao Heng broke away from the control of the powerful clan.

Moreover, Zhao Heng didn’t have any foundation in Yanzhou, so he still wanted to take such a big risk.

This is tantamount to falling to King Yan in an all-round way.

From now on, what Zhao Heng meant was basically what King Yan meant.

For this point, not only his Xie family, but also other powerful clans are absolutely intolerable.

This means that in the future, his Xie family will worship King Yan, a feudal lord who slaughtered wealthy families and completely ran counter to their interests.

Although in the past, their Xie family cooperated with King Yan.

But it was to win King Yan’s support for the eldest prince, and he pinched his nose as a last resort.

In fact, in his heart, he was full of disgust.

Now that Zhao Heng has gone to Yanzhou, their interests seem to no longer align.

Trust, of course, is gone.

Even though King Yan continued to speak and support the eldest prince.

But if the eldest prince went to Yanzhou to ascend the throne, wouldn’t he fall into the hands of King Yan and be at his mercy.

Therefore, after thinking about it, he thought that there was only one way to go at the moment.

That is to let the eldest prince ascend the throne in Jinling immediately.

Be the first to let the eldest prince raise the banner of royal orthodoxy and take down the royal states and counties.

In short, the King of Yan cannot be allowed to take the imperial decree and occupy the highest moral point of Dasong.

Furthermore, Zhao Heng fled to Yanzhou, which in itself was tantamount to declaring war on the powerful clan.

When Zhao Heng was in danger, he forced Zhao Heng to appoint the crown prince, and there was no room for change between them.

Right now, Dou Wei is establishing Nanliang in Xiangcheng.

He Xie Jia simply tore his face and pulled him down.

However, the threat of King Yan is also real.

He was also a little worried.

Although the powerful clans broke up unhappy because of Dou Wei’s dirty things.

But he felt that after the eldest prince ascended the throne, he should send people to discuss with other powerful clans how to jointly deal with King Yan.

Each is self-reliant, and you fight against each other, but in the face of common threats, cooperation is also required.

It’s just that even if they cooperated, he sent the Dou family out.

Dou Wei ransacked Jinling City, and now he hates it to death.

“Brother is right, just do that, the emperor is so cruel, he left our mother and son and went to Yanzhou, why bother to take care of him, just treat him as dead.” Empress Xie said.

In her heart, her son’s throne is much more important than Zhao Heng’s.

Zhao Gang didn’t care about Zhao Heng’s life or death, he was already thirty-two years old.

He had long hoped that Zhao Heng would die and he would be the emperor.

Hearing this, he smiled and said, “Thank you, Uncle.” Xie Duan nodded, “It’s not too late.   I

will arrange the enthronement ceremony for Gang’er in the past few days, so as not to have long nights and dreams.”

a country.

But the royal cantons and the rest of the Custodians are more attractive.

At present, the Dou family and the Xiao family are allied, and the Wang family and the Han family are as close as one family.

Only he, the Xie family, is alone, but if he successfully takes over the royal territory.

The territory controlled by his Xie family will be the largest among the seven.

In addition, the grain of the world comes from Xie’s family. He has food and soldiers, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

And this is the root cause of his eagerness to let the eldest prince ascend the throne.

…

Xiangcheng.

Dou Wei, Zhao Mu and Bu Dou Mu are discussing the construction of the palace in the city.

Although he ascended the throne, he became the emperor of Nanliang.

But right now there is no one that fits his status.

But he doesn’t care about these, but his father Dou Wei is very obsessed with it.

“Father, it’s better to use these silver coins to recruit soldiers and horses. My wish is to rule the world, not that.” Dou Mu said.

Now that his wish has been fulfilled, he has endless ambitions in his heart.

“The wealth brought from Jinling is enough to build a palace for you. Now that you are the king of a country, you need a palace worthy of your status. Luanjia, this is the majesty of the royal family. It cannot be saved, and it will not affect your struggle for hegemony.” Dou Wei laughed.

The two were talking, when a cavalryman from the Dou family came on horseback.

Stopping in front of Dou Wei, the cavalry wanted to salute Dou Wei.

But Dou Wei glared at the cavalry, and the cavalry understood, turned to Dou Mu, and said, “Your Majesty, there is news from Wuguan that Beidi envoys have arrived. They said they would come to Xiangcheng to congratulate Nanliang on the founding of the country.”

“Beidi people.” Dou Subconsciously looking to the north, he exchanged a glance with Dou Wei, and said, “Go to Wuguan immediately and lead Beidi’s envoys to have an audience.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.” The cavalry replied yes.

Dou Wei said at this time: “Beidi’s coming this time must be to make an appointment with me in Nanliang to jointly resist King Yan. The emperor should use this opportunity to cooperate with Beidi people so that the border market can continue to bring profits to the Dou family. We can cooperate with Beidi and Nanbei to contain the King of Yan.”

Dou Mu nodded, and after the establishment of Nanliang, he had to think about the next layout.

In his view, Nanliang had just established a state, so it was not appropriate to attack the city immediately.

This will arouse the hostility of other clans.

We have to wait for the movement of other powerful clans.

“Also, news came from Yanzhou that Zhao Heng went to Yanzhou and is currently in Yancheng.” The cavalry said again.

Dou Mu and Dou Wei’s expressions sank at the same time.

Dou Weidao: “Zhao Heng went to Yanzhou, the king of Yan is like a tiger with wings added, now he is bound to regard himself as royal orthodox, but let’s not worry about it, the most nervous ones should be the Han family, the Wang family and the Xie family, we can just watch ”

“It’s just that if King Yan is allowed to defeat each one, I’m afraid Nanliang will be alone in the end.” Dou Mu worried.

“Haha, Your Majesty is worrying too much. I’m afraid that all powerful families still have grudges against my Dou family. Let them suffer first, so that they will think of my Dou family.” Dou Weiyi said with a confident face.

Dou Mu nodded upon hearing this.
