The three kings knew in their hearts that this was a poisonous plan, but at the same time, it was also a conspiracy, and people couldn't find fault with it.

The emperor has already taken a step back, such a good suggestion, should he refuse it again?

It is impossible to refute or refuse.

The three kings were silent, from the perspective of political relations, the three were a whole, holding each other together for warmth, and taking the throne as the ultimate goal.

But at the same time, this relationship is also based on their respective strengths, if they lose control of the fiefdom, it is not to huddle together for warmth, but to act as a wingman when they break through together, lose and end miserably, and if you win, you can't get any benefits, it is better to stay in the fiefdom and wait for death, and find an opportunity to submit to the emperor.

Facts have proved that no matter how shrewd a person is, in the face of interests, he will fall into a dark pit called human nature, and he will not be able to pull it out.

For example, the current three kings are silent, thinking about how to protect their fiefdoms, and pushing the other into the water by the way.

"How many princes, do you have a decision? I don't know who wants to worry about me? Yang Mu glanced at it and said: "Those who are willing to contribute to the fiefdom will not be treated badly, and half of the tax can still be obtained, if you have the heart to be an official, you can go to the court to find an official position." ”

The three kings muttered secretly in their hearts, who wants your official position, the prince deserves it well, he is like a soil emperor in the fiefdom, he lives more chic than you, and fools are fooled.

"Your Majesty, the minister's Pancheng is barren, the water conservancy is not accessible, and it is located in the southernmost part, which is not conducive to the implementation of the law change, please forgive the minister for not being able to share your Majesty's worries." Panwang took the lead in standing up, and at the moment when the interests were at stake, he didn't care about any face, so he put himself aside first.

"There are also many inconveniences in Zecheng, and the western border is often plundered by the bandit mountains, and I am afraid that it will not be able to catch it."

"Your Majesty, Yicheng is also overwhelmed."

For Panwang's first throw, King Ze and King Yi scolded secretly, and then also expressed their positions.

Yang Mu sighed and said seriously: "It's a matter of national fortune, and now countless pairs of eyes across the country are looking at you, so you must be more willing to dedicate, have the courage to sacrifice, and be a good ...... for the party In short, let's discuss this matter later, a few princes will stay in the city for a few more days, which city to let the pilot, you think for yourself, I will wait for the good news. ”

"Yes! Ministers...... Compliance. The three princes looked bitter, thinking in their hearts, no matter what, they must keep their fiefdoms!

After the three kings retreated, Yang Mu discussed with the six important ministers for a while, and the topic mainly focused on the huge compensation and the two cities, how to deal with them, how to govern, and some small details must have a plan.

It wasn't until lunchtime that the discussion ended, the ministers retired, and Yang Mu let Wei Zhongquan and Sima Hong stay.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has something to understand." Wei Zhongquan said.

"Oh? Let's hear it. Yang Mu was interested.

Wei Zhongquan paused and said: "With the current situation in the court, Your Majesty will either maintain the balance with several princes, or recklessly use iron-blooded means to see the three kings suppress, why single out a fiefdom, such a small profit, wouldn't it not not only annoy them, but also gain nothing?" ”

Yang Mu smiled knowingly and said, "So, Aiqing thinks that I am reckless this time?" ”

"I didn't dare, but I just felt that something was wrong. Besides, if several princes stay in the imperial city for a few days, they will definitely make some small moves in secret to unite the officials in the court to oppose the change, which is a big trouble. ”

"Yes, the minister thinks so too. With the temperament of the minister, he simply pulled out those princes and chopped them up, and they were all gone! Sima Hong also interjected on the side, he frowned all morning, and his opinions on several princes were very big.

Yang Mu shook his head and said helplessly: "What should come is always coming, changing the law harms the interests of the nobles, and the resistance is definitely not small, but the two Aiqing think about it, if they are one of the three kings, how should they deal with themselves?" ”

"This ......" Wei Zhongquan opened his mouth, groaned for a while, and said: "Of course you can't sit still, if you allow the court officials to implement changes in the fiefdom, it is tantamount to digging your own grave, anyway, it is better to choose one of the three, it is better to let the other ......"

Suddenly, Wei Zhongquan's voice was stunned, as if he had thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he shouted: "Wonderful! Coup! This is a conspiracy, and the three kings will definitely quarrel endlessly, deviate from morality, and even turn against each other! ”

Yang Mu said: "Those two Aiqing think, who among the three kings is the biggest threat?" ”

"Well...... King Ze is dim, King Yi lacks the overall situation, only King Pan, although he is not outstanding, but he is good at conspiracy, he has a lot of connections in the various gates, and he is His Majesty's imperial uncle in terms of generation, which is difficult to deal with. ”

Yang Mu nodded: "Okay, tomorrow I will ask the Queen Mother for help, invite King Ze and King Yi to the palace for a banquet, give them a chance to complain to the Queen Mother, I will think about brotherhood again, favor them a little, and squeeze King Pan out together." ”

"Huh! In this way, after tomorrow, Pan Wang will be in a hurry! Wei Zhongquan laughed heartily and said, "It turns out that Your Majesty has long had a plan in his heart, and it was the old minister who trespassed." ”

Yang Mu waved his hand: "Aiqing is dedicated to sharing worries for me, my great luck, and the great luck of Cangguo." It is precisely because Aiqing is cautious and good at planning that the two of them are left behind to discuss major matters. ”

"Oh? Please also ask Your Majesty to command. ”

"I can't talk about orders." Yang Mu waved his hand and touched his stomach again: "It's time for lunch, the two Aiqing might as well have lunch with me together, and then discuss it slowly." ”

"This ...... The old minister didn't dare! Wei Zhongquan hurriedly bowed.

"Your Majesty, ministers and other military generals, often eat and sleep with the sergeants and soldiers of the army, and are used to two meals a day." Sima Hong also hugged his fists and excused himself, you must know that dining with the emperor is a privilege only for a veteran-level courtier, and he thinks that he is not qualified enough.

Yang Mu was very surprised and asked, "The soldiers in the army are all two meals a day?" ”

Sima Hong nodded: "The soldiers in the army are also from civilian backgrounds, so they are used to it." ”

Yang Mu was surprised, he knew that in addition to the big family Zhong Mingding Ding, three meals a day, ordinary civilians have two meals a day, but he didn't expect that even the soldiers in the army also have two meals a day, which is incredible.

Just imagine, the soldiers can't guarantee three meals a day, how can they have the energy to practice? In the long run, it is strange that the combat effectiveness can be improved!

Immediately, he secretly remembered this in his heart, and then instructed the imperial chef to bring the lunch to the side hall next to it, and the three of them sat at the same table, drinking and eating while talking.

And this time, the thing to be discussed is - military reform!
