Steel Dynasty - Chapter 857

[Chapter 855: The Drama of Cutting Down the Domain]

Xiao Ming sat on the dragon throne and stared at the officials.

In the main hall, the civil and military officials were divided into two groups. At this time, Pang Yukun was expounding the seven harms that the vassal king had done to the country of Chongqing with a heartbroken look.

After Pang Yukun, Fiji also led a group of officials to report clearly that the vassal king was a cancer of the country.

“Your Majesty, how long has it been since the war in the north? Now there is another war in the south. How long will it take for the country of Chongqing to become rich and powerful if this continues? I think it is time to not tolerate the vassal king continuing to have cholera.” Fiji made an impassioned speech. .

Niu Ben and Luo Quan looked at each other. They were both old foxes, and they could see through what was going on in the court today.

Pang Yukun and Fiji used this excuse to cut down the feudal vassal.

After pondering for a while, Niu Ben said: “Your Majesty, I think what Pang Shoufu and Mr. Fei Ge said is absolutely true. The tragedy of the feudal kings’ rebellion cannot be repeated, and in order to deal with the threats from the Western countries, the Chongqing Kingdom must be unified from top to bottom, and there must be no more “A country within a country.”

“Old minister agrees,” Luo Quan said promptly.

First it was the cabinet minister, then the chief general of the Military Aircraft Department and the General Staff Department. Now even the stupidest official in the court understood what was going on.

After expelling the barbarians, the emperor wanted to unify the Great Yu Kingdom and completely solve the problems of the vassal kings.

After a brief silence, the officials came out one by one to accuse the feudal king of the harm, and the whole court was filled with excitement.

In the southwest corner of the Zhengda Guangming Hall, a reporter from Qingzhou Daily was writing furiously. The content of today’s court meeting will appear in tomorrow’s newspaper.

Facing the angry officials and generals, Xiao Ming smiled. This was the effect he wanted.

Although it is a bit shameless to instigate officials to accuse the feudal king of harm, but as an emperor, how can he not be guilty of evil.

“My dear friends, although this is the case, King Yong and King Huainan both made great contributions in the northern war. Wouldn’t such behavior make me betray my faith.” Xiao Ming seemed a little embarrassed.

Pang Yukun said: “Rewards and punishments have been clear since ancient times. After the Northern War, the emperor had already given corresponding rewards to the two of them. Now the elimination of vassals is for the eternal foundation of the Great Chongqing. Why should the emperor worry.”

“Yes, your Majesty, if If King Yong and King Huainan are really righteous, they should consider the future of the Great Chongqing Kingdom instead of their own selfish interests,” Fiji said.

Xiao Ming sighed and said: “I am really in a dilemma about this matter. Let’s discuss this matter another day.”

After that, he waved his hand and announced that the court was dismissed. Today’s goal has been achieved. Now he wants to give the vassal kings A signal for them to think about what to do now.

After all, the initiative was in his hands before the emperor’s order was announced.

After the court ended, Xiao Ming went to the imperial study. At this time, the newspaper reporter returned to the newspaper office with the manuscript. After printing the first newspaper, he immediately sent it to the palace.

“Your Majesty, when this newspaper comes out tomorrow, everyone in the world will be happy.” Qian Dafu handed the newspaper to Xiao Ming, “I am not worried about the vassal reduction, but the imperial concubine is pregnant now… …”

Xiao Ming frowned. He must have touched Cui Xueer on the matter of cutting down the vassal vassal, but how could he ignore the current situation of Dayu Country just because of his long love for his daughter.

“The imperial concubine will understand my painstaking efforts. She is a sensible person.” Xiao Ming said, he was determined on this matter and would not change because of Cui Xueer.

Qian Dafu nodded and stopped talking.

After reviewing the newspaper, Xiao Ming was satisfied with the above content. He recorded in detail the incident in the court regarding the reduction of the vassal vassal in the front page report. At the same time, the reporter who wrote the article expressed some of his own opinions and analyzed the shortcomings of the vassal king. This meets his requirements.

After handing the newspaper to Qian Dafu, Xiao Ming said, “Send it to the newspaper office and let them have their hair done tomorrow.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Qian Dafu left in response.

After sending Qian Dafu away, Xiao Ming turned around and went to the harem. In recent years, he had little time to spend with his family due to state affairs.

Most of the time, we come in a hurry and leave in a hurry.

Today’s reminder from Qian Dafu made him suddenly feel that he should tell Cui Xueer something in advance to avoid them being caught off guard. At the same time, he also hoped that Cui Xueer could play some role in this matter. After all, she was also the daughter of the King of Huainan.

He walked to the bedroom, when a small figure suddenly rushed towards him, and at the same time a milky “Father” sound sounded.

“Come, father, give me a hug.” Xiao Ming showed a gentle smile and held Xiao Yi, who was more than three years old, in his arms.

Time flies by, and now Xiao Yi has reached the age where modern children go to kindergarten. In order to help Xiao Yi get rid of the backward culture of Dayu, he and Fei Yue’er are preparing to teach him personally.

Fei Yue’er, Cui Xue’er, Luluo and Ziyuan sat in the pavilion and looked at the father and son gently. Although Xiao Ming only spent a short time with Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi liked to stick to his father the most.

“The Emperor has so many things to do, why do you have time to come to the garden at this time today?” Fei Yue’er said with a smile.

Xiao Ming looked at Xiao Yi. This little guy’s eyebrows and mouth were very similar to Fei Yue’er’s. His eyes and mouth were very similar to his own, and his appearance was more like Fei Yue’er’s. This was exactly what his son said to his mother.

He walked to the four of them and sat down. He glanced at Cui Xueer’s seven-month-old belly and said, “I have something to say to the imperial concubine today.”

Fei Yueer rolled her eyes. She was extremely smart and vaguely guessed that Xiao When Ming wanted to say something, she smiled and said to Xiao Yi: “Yi’er, don’t pester your father. Let’s go to the lake to watch fish together.”

While speaking, Fei Yue’er also made a gesture to Luluo and Aster .

wink.

The two understood, got up and followed Fei Yue’er.

Xiao Yi was a little unhappy. He grabbed Xiao Ming’s hand and said: “Father, father, play with me for a while, play with me for a while.”

Xiao Ming touched Xiao Yi’s little head. The little guy’s big eyes were pitiful. Looking at him, he said helplessly: “You go first. Father, can you play with you all morning today?”

“Father, you keep your word.” Xiao Yi jumped up and ran towards the lake after hearing this.

After three years of getting along, Cui Xueer and Xiao Ming are no longer strangers. Because of the child in her belly, she and Xiao Ming have an extra layer of intimacy. Because of this, she can sometimes guess Xiao Ming’s thoughts.

With only two people left, she suddenly sighed, “Is the emperor finally going to cut off the vassal vassal?”

“I guess you can guess that you have been worried about this since you entered the palace, haven’t you?”

Cui Xueer nodded. , said sadly: “Even so, how can I bear it when I see that my husband and father have a rift?”

“So I want you to write a letter to the King of Huainan. You tell him, as long as he submits it, I will not touch him if he has military power. This Huainan Kingdom is still his fiefdom.”
