Chapter 611: King Fu
Time is slow, and winter is in the blink of an eye.
The weather in the capital is as cold as a day, and the city of Bingzhou is rarely calm.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner, the crown prince Li Yu has more and more control over the government and politics, and after winter, Li Yuan prefers to stay drunk in the palace and laugh with the concubines.
This kind of result is naturally what Li Yu likes to see.
And at this time, the imperial court received a secret report.
After Li Yu got the secret report, he hurriedly entered the palace.
"Father, I received a secret message, related to King Fu."
Hearing the secret report related to Fu Wang Li Que, Li Yuan felt a little strange and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"The secret report said that King Fu relied on such a unique condition as iron ore to intend to rebel."
Hearing this news, Li Yuan immediately stood up from the dragon chair, and there was a slight killing in his eyes.
Before, the brother died and the brother died, and Tang Yun Jiuchang's prophecy made him jealous of his brothers, and now when he heard that King Fu intended to rebel, Li Yuan reacted greatly.
"How can such a thing happen?"
Li Yu said, "Father, the weapon mainly relies on iron ore, and it is reasonable to have iron ore, and it is reasonable to want to rebel, but now there is only one secret report, but it can't be counted, there is no evidence, and the sons dare not make judgments." ”
Li Yuan walked back and forth in the dormitory, and after walking like this for a few laps, he suddenly stopped, "Prince, you take someone to King Fu's fiefdom, you must investigate this matter clearly, if King Fu Li Que really intends to rebel, give me a direct takedown." ”
Hearing this, Li Yu was not in a hurry, and said, "Father, why don't you test King Fu first and ask him to hand over the iron ore, if he is willing to pay, we might as well think about it in the long run, if he is unwilling, we will make other plans." ”
Li Yu took things around again, Li Yuan frowned slightly after hearing this, and said, "Why do you want to do this, take him down directly, and his fief will be taken back." ”
"Father, that's what I said, but only with a secret report, there is no real evidence, so the son went to King Fu's fiefdom to take him, I was afraid that the other vassal kings would see it, and I thought we were going to do something to the vassal king, and I was afraid that it would make people panic."
The vassal kings everywhere are not stupid, if you want them to cut some flesh and blood, it's nothing, but if you want all their fiefdoms, then they are afraid that they will rebel.
If you are not careful, the Tang Kingdom will be chaotic.
Hearing Tang Yu's analysis, Li Yuan slowly calmed down and said, "In this case, then pass on my order and let King Fu hand over all the iron mines in the fief to the imperial court, and say that the imperial court will build weapons." ”
Li Yu received the order, and then quickly sent someone to send this edict to Tang Que, the king of Fu.
King Fu's fief was on the edge of the capital, so a day later, King Fu received an edict from the imperial court.
After receiving this edict, King Fu's brows suddenly condensed.
King Fu is only thirty years old this year, but because of the richness of the fief, he is very luxurious, and he is very obese, and he wears the most expensive things all over his body.
"The court wants me to hand over the iron mine, isn't this to cut off the king's wealth?" King Fu said, glancing at his advisor Zhang Wuwei.
Zhang Wuwei is handsome, white and clean, and he is only about twenty years old, at this time he frowned slightly, and then said, "Lord, the court wants to build weapons, and we will pay iron tribute to the court, why do we want to send iron ore to the court, the court is obviously looking for trouble." ”
Li Que also felt that what Zhang Wuwei said made sense, if he built weapons, they would just give them directly, why bother to ask for iron ore, to be honest, the iron from the vassal kings in various places was basically purchased by him, and he sent it directly to the imperial court, which was already very benevolent and righteous.
Who let his fief have it, and the things of his fiefdom are his own.
"In this situation, what do you think the king should do?"
Zhang Wuwei thought for a while and said, "Lord, reply to a letter, and say that the imperial court wants iron, and we will give as much as we want, but the iron ore is in its own fiefdom, how to give it to the imperial court, so it is better to stay in your fiefdom." ”
"Won't this anger the Holy Lord, and what if he sends troops?" Speaking of this, Fu Wang Li Que said, "Here in this king, there are only a few thousand soldiers and horses, and most of them are old and weak soldiers, and the rest have gone to mine, in case the saint sends troops, we have no ability to fight them at all." ”
Zhang Wuwei shook his head, "No, the saint will never do this, the other vassal kings are all watching, if it is because of the iron mine, then the other vassal kings are afraid that they will be panicked and very uneasy." ”
Hearing Zhang Wuwei's words, Fuwang Li Que hesitated, and finally decided to do what Zhang Wuwei said, and soon, he sent someone to send a letter to the imperial court.
When he saw the folding, Li Yu frowned slightly, originally, he also wanted King Fu to be a leisurely prince and spare him, as long as he gave the iron ore to the court weirdly.
I never thought that he was so greedy for money that he would hold on to the iron ore, but he would not let go.
He needs iron ore, not only does he need strong troops, but he also needs to control the development of other feudal kings.
King Fu is not on the road.
Li Yu thought in his heart, and entered the palace again with the fold.
"Father, King Fu is only willing to enter the palace iron, but he is unwilling to hand over the iron ore."
Hearing this, Li Yuan frowned, and a killing intent suddenly appeared in his eyes.
"Since he refuses to pay, it must be a rebellion, you go to the Dragon Tooth Army, transfer 5,000 soldiers and horses, and go to King Fu's fiefdom to investigate the case of King Fu's rebellion."
Originally, he was jealous of his younger brother, this Fu King Li Que still refused to obey, and it was strange that Tang Yuan could spare him.
Li Yu's side naturally did not hesitate and hurriedly responded.
The Dragon Tooth Army is a very powerful army defending the capital, and although they do not fight as often as the Su Family's army, no one has ever doubted the strength of the Dragon Tooth Army.
The commander of the Dragon Tooth Army is named Luo Yi, a spear, which is very powerful in Li Kingdom, and even the vast sea is difficult to compete with him.
After Li Yu came to the Dragon Tooth Army, he met Luo Yi.
Luo Yi is tall, but his face is a little long, giving people the feeling of being a little unsmiling and very grim, but for Li Yu, the prince, he still gives enough face.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants 5,000 soldiers and horses?" Luo Yi asked.
Li Yu nodded, "Yes, five thousand soldiers and horses." ”
Luo Yi did not refuse, and after nodding, he directly ordered his subordinates to allocate 5,000 soldiers and horses to Li Yu to come out.
Five thousand soldiers and horses, all of them are people who can fight well, after Li Yu saw it, he was quite satisfied, and led the soldiers straight to the land of King Fu.
And just after Li Yu left, a voice suddenly came from behind Luo Yi, "Daddy, that person is His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”
Luo Yi turned his head and saw his son Luo Cheng.
