Yang Mu commanded while thinking about how to deal with it.

In the past few days, he has found out the details of the three kings very clearly, King Ze and King Yi are both his half-brothers, born to the side concubines of the first emperor, King Ze is the eldest brother, King Yi is the second brother, as for the king of Pan, he is the uncle of the three and the younger brother of the first emperor.

The three princes are not good goods, they have their own little Jiujiu, and they have always coveted the throne, if it weren't for the suppression of loyal ministers and Wei Zhongquan, I'm afraid it would have turned the sky upside down.

And just yesterday morning, the three kings arrived at the imperial city at the same time as if they had made an appointment, first to greet the queen mother, and then to ask to meet the emperor, but Yang Mu gave him a resignation, and deliberately ordered someone to settle him in the post house in the city to rest.

To tell the truth, Yang Mu's impression of these three princes is extremely bad, this kind of person who covets a big position, only cares about fighting for power and profit and abandons the country, even more disgusting than the gate valve, if it weren't for his conspiracy that day, I'm afraid that the Cangguo has been destroyed now.

The rat is narrow-eyed, the black sheep, this is the kind of person he is talking about.

However, for the three kings, he had to pay attention to them, not only because of their identity, but more importantly, these three people each controlled a city, occupying nearly forty percent of the power of the Cangguo, and some of the military power, if it could not be properly handled, it would be a big trouble.

Of course, he also knew that the purpose of these three people was not only to make a pilgrimage, but also to make a profit.

Why?

Yang Mu's implementation of the law change, sooner or later will involve the three fiefdom cities, this is the trend of the times, the three princes are not fools, they all understand this truth more or less, if they are allowed to develop, they will fall into passivity, and they will not even have the ability to bargain.

So I had to take advantage of the tepid time to seek some benefits, just like the six major valves, to get some exchanges.

Yang Mu guessed that what they coveted was probably Zheng Kang's war compensation.

Speaking of which, according to the news from the front line these days, the nobles and troops in Zheng Kang's fiefdom have been withdrawn from the two cities of Wangfeng and Jiangshun one after another, and they will be handed over in a few days, and 300,000 taels of silver and 10,000 stone of grain have also been gathered and are on the way to be escorted.

This is a big piece of fat, let's say 300,000 taels of silver, which is equivalent to nearly a year's tax in Cangguo, of course several princes don't want to let go, if they are more greedy, maybe they also want to get involved in the two cities of Wangfeng and Jiangshun.

After washing, Yang Mu hurriedly drank a bowl of porridge and went to Zichen Hall to review the recitals submitted by the officials of the six ministries yesterday.

After about half an hour's effort, Wei Zhongquan and Sima Hong came together, and then Fan Hongji, the important minister of the six ministries and the right minister.

"Your Majesty's eyes are dark, and your spirit is low, didn't you dream of immortals again last night?" Sima Hong, who had just sat down, had a straightforward heart, his eyes lit up and he said in surprise.

Hearing this, all the courtiers also raised their heads, their spirits were shocked, and they looked at Yang Mu earnestly.

"Ahem...... What gods are not immortals, but they didn't sleep well, they didn't sleep well...... That's all. ”

Yang Mu has a weak heart, since he found an excuse to fool them last time, these days seem to be finding faults, and when he discusses matters every day, the courtiers will be extra attentive to his eyes, as if he can see a giant panda after a few more glances.

Seeing that the courtiers were a little disappointed, he was very speechless, didn't he shout all day long that His Majesty should take care of the dragon body, why did the focus of attention change at this time?

Immortals and other things are all imaginary, only the handsome and lovely Emperor Majesty in front of you is really good!

It seems that in the future, you can't fool around casually, and the limelight has been robbed by the gods......

was depressed for a while, King Pan, King Ze, and King Yi, each with their subordinates, came late.

"Meet Your Majesty." The three of them bowed, did not kneel or worship, and then each found a place on the left side and sat down.

Yang Mu sneered in his heart, the three of them looked rude on the surface, but in fact, they were testing their own depths and wanted to give them a dismount.

"Three princes, why don't you kneel when you see Your Majesty!" Shen An stood on the lower left side of the dragon case, and after seeing this, he immediately asked.

Pan Wang glanced at him, sneered, and said disdainfully: "Hmph, you are a gelding minion, and you dare to ask me and others, are you tired of being alive or not castrated?" ”

"Yes, the three of us are the prince, the uncle and brother of His Majesty, is it possible that we should be like you cheap slaves, and bow down every day?" King Yi also echoed.

"Hahahaha!" The three kings laughed at the same time.

The officials lowered their heads and did not speak, and everyone saw the rudeness of the three kings, although they were resentful, but as King Yi said, this is also a family matter of His Majesty the Emperor, and they are not easy to intervene.

After all, etiquette can be big or small, and no one dares to say much before the emperor makes a statement.

Even Sima Hong, who was short-tempered, saw that the atmosphere was not quite right, and he glanced at Wei Zhongquan's eyes, held back his anger, and quietly lowered his head and did not speak.

Yang Mu knew that it was time for him to express his position, this was a silent contest between the monarch and the king, such as the ceremonial battle between Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty when he entered the dynasty and ascended the throne, on the surface, it was for etiquette and reputation, but it was actually a contest between monarchs and ministers.

So, he said lightly: "How many of you, have you ever visited the Queen Mother after entering the palace?" ”

"This is natural, and there is no need for His Majesty to remind you." The Three Kings were arrogant and proud of their foresight.

Yang Mu looked surprised: "Oh? As far as I know, the two royal brothers are not born to the queen mother, and they also have this filial piety? ”

"Your Majesty is cautious." King Pan's face was cold, and with a tone of instruction, he said: "The family doesn't speak two words, the queen mother lives in the deep palace, and the two nephews express their filial piety as juniors, which is a courtesy and should be praised." ”

"Oh, ......I see," Yang Mu nodded, and said: "Since a few people know this truth, then I have to ask, I am the king of a country, but you don't worship or worship, regardless of etiquette, what is the reason?" Don't you look down on me as an emperor? ”

"This ......"

King Pan was speechless for a while, he never thought that he would fall into the trap laid by Yang Mu so easily, is this still the immature and stupid little emperor in his impression?

King Ze and King Yi also glanced at each other, very surprised, in fact, when they returned to the court this time, they also wanted to explore the truth and truth, but they didn't expect this younger brother, who was bullied by himself on weekdays, to behave so unexpectedly all of a sudden!

Could it be that the rumors are true?

The three princes pondered at the same time, before they entered the palace, they heard a lot of mysterious rumors about the emperor along the way, and after getting up this morning, they also saw many people kneeling outside the palace and kowtowing, as if the whole city had been infected with magic overnight, like a pool of stagnant water injected into a pool of clear spring, which made people feel fresh at the same time, but at the same time, they were at a loss.

This reminded them of a terrible thing, and they were terrified at once.
