Chapter 33: The Four Kingdoms (I)
"Xiangwang? How," Scarborough asked with interest
Feng Haoyuan replied gently: "King Xiang is to recognize each other as kings. ”
Scarborough asked arrogantly, "Oh? Mutual recognition? Why do I need others to recognize each other? ”
Feng Haoyuan persuaded him:
"O king, call yourselves widows."
King Scarbro of Poland nodded and said:
"Thank you for your concern, I, the widow knows. Please also ask Xiangguo to tell the widow why he needs other people's recognition? ”
Feng Haoyuan says:
"Your Majesty, we have just reunited Poland and need to recuperate. Reform the system and promote Confucianism, so we can't fight again. Therefore, the king invited the king to invite the king of Gaoyang Yajun of Huaxia, Rostislavu of Great Moravia, and Svitopek of Pomerania to recognize each other as kings. They can serve as a bulwark for our country, so that we can restore this Poland as soon as possible. ”
The Polish king Scarborough looked at Feng Haoyuan and asked:
"Xiangguo, isn't it enough to have Pomerania and Great Moravia? Why do you need that Huaxia? ”
Feng Haoyuan explained seriously:
"O king, these three kingdoms are indispensable. Listen to me, my lord, for Pomerania in the north of our country can help us defend against the Gnose pirates, and in the southwest Great Moravia against the Germanic people in the west. The Chinese state in the northeast can defend our country against the Rus' in the east, so that our country only needs to station troops and horses in Petit Poland to defend against the Avars and Magyars in the south. ”
Scarborough asked:
"Oh, what's so good about that?"
Xiangguo Feng Haoyuan says:
"The advantage of this is that our country can draw the troops of the defense of the three countries to develop the country. So that our country can grow by leaps and bounds. ”
"I see, Xiangguo will leave this matter to you. By the way, Xiangguo, you are so dedicated to the country. The widow decided that when you returned, the widow would make you a prince," Scarbro said
Feng Haoyuan hurriedly knelt down and said:
"The Great King Must Not Be"
Scarborough asked, confused:
"What's the matter, Xiangguo."
Xiangguo Feng Haoyuan says:
"Your Majesty, please remember that in the future, you must not be crowned a prince unless you are of the same bloodline. Only in this way can the long-term peace and stability of the country be ensured. ”
Scarborough was overjoyed when he heard Feng Haoyuan say this, patted Feng Haoyuan's shoulder and said:
"Feng Xiangguo is really a widow, oh yes, Zhou Gong, who is a widow. No, the widow must reward you, if the public can't, then wait. When you return, you will be named the Marquis of Confucianism, which means to promote Confucianism. ”
Feng Haoyuan said gratefully:
"Then I will thank the king first, and I will live up to the king's expectations."
Scarborough coughed and said:
"Ahem, then Feng Xiangguo will go down first"
Feng Haoyuan saw Scarbro coughing and hurriedly asked:
"You, my lord?"
Scarborough waved his hand and said:
"It's okay, let's go down. The widow is waiting for your news. ”
"Then the king, the minister will retire first." Feng Haoyuan slowly retreated.
Scarborough watched Feng Haoyuan's departure, stretched out his hand to look at it, and slowly took it back. Crazy said:
"Hehe, father, father, the widow you didn't do did it. Hahahaha"
Scarborough called the chamberlain, and asked the chamberlain to call the queen and the prince. After a while, a graceful and elegant woman came with a little child of about six or seven years of age, who was about six or seven years old, and the young man came up to greet him and said:
"Father, I'm coming. Hee-hee"
The woman pulled the child and whispered in the child's ear:
"Ke'er wants to call her father"
Then folded his hands on his lower abdomen, looked down and bent his knees slightly and made a blessing:
"Azusa Tong Meets the King"
"Settle down, widowed Queen Jaquiline"
Jaquilina thanked:
"Zitong thanked the king"
Scarborough looked at his son and beckoned:
"Ke'er, the widow's son, come over and say a few words to you."
Lanco stepped forward, and Scarbrough said to him:
"One day when the widow leaves, I hope you can listen to Mr. Feng's words, be diligent and love the people. Queen, the widow hopes that you will cooperate with Feng Xiangguo to assist Lan Ke in coming of age. ”
"You, my lord, what did you say? Stop talking nonsense," Jaquilina said
Scarborough waved his hand and said, "Go down, the widow is sitting down." ”
"Yes, King"
The queen went back with the prince, and Scarbro watched them go, leaving himself alone in the Polish palace in a daze
After Feng Haoyuan returned, he immediately prepared to go to lobby the countries. Early the next morning he went with his men to Great Moravia, in the southwest.
The Grand Duke of Moravia, Rostislavu, looked at the man standing under his seat with an indifferent look on his old face, and asked:
"You say Xiangwang? What do you mean? What's in it for my country? ”
The man standing said:
"The king of the prime minister mentioned below is to recognize each other as kings"
"Why do I need their recognition?" Grand Moravian Grand Duke Rostislavu asked
The man standing was Feng Haoyuan, the Polish minister, who replied to the Grand Moravian Grand Duke Rostislavu.
First, you can get three allies without paying a price.
The second queen, the kings of the four kingdoms, recognized each other's thrones
Thirdly, Rostislavu has been an archduke for decades, so he doesn't intend to be king in his lifetime?
The countries of the fourth king can trade with each other
After listening to these four points, the Grand Duke of Moravia frantically calculated the gains and losses in his heart. After about half an hour, he asked, in an old, hoarse voice:
"Is there no harm in this idea that there are only good and no harm?"
Feng Haoyuan nodded and said:
"It certainly doesn't hurt, because my king's throne needs to be recognized, and the king of Namerania in the north and the king of Huaxia further north need to be recognized. So Grand Duke Rostislavou, it's mutually beneficial. ”
"Well, I agree, tell me the location," agreed the Grand Duke of Moravia
After Feng Haoyuan told the address of the Grand Duke of Great Moravia, and then left a subordinate to guide him, he hurried to Pomerania.
When Feng Haoyuan arrived in Pomerania, he asked to meet the Grand Chief of Pomerania, and Feng Haoyuan said that he could let the Grand Chief of Pomerania get Pomerania without a single soldier.
When the Pomeranian chief Svitopek heard the report of his subordinates, he hurriedly invited Feng Haoyuan to the castle, and he asked:
"I wonder if you have any way to get Pomerania without a single soldier?"
Feng Haoyuan said with confidence:
"The great chief can be the king, and the king is to recognize each other as kings. The King of Poland and the Grand Moravian Grand Duke agreed. The Grand Chieftain has already received two-thirds of the Pomeranian territory, and you can invite the rest of the Pomeranian chieftains to attend the ceremony when you are king. When they see your allies, they surrender to you. ”
After listening to this, the Grand Pomeranian Chief Svitopek said:
"It's a good plan, and I agreed."
Then Feng Haoyuan left time and a subordinate to show him the way, and Feng Haoyuan left again.
After the Grand Chief of Pomerania saw that Feng Haoyuan was gone, he hurriedly rejoiced in Feng Haoyuan's strategy, and sent someone to tell the news of King Xiang to the other chieftains of Pomerania and invited them to watch the ceremony.
The other chieftains of Pomerania were also helpless when they learned the news, and finally decided to go over and take a look at the king. If it is true, then they immediately surrendered to the Grand Pomeranian chieftain.
At the last stop, Feng Haoyuan returned to Huaxia Kingdom, where neither he nor Gao Yang Yajun exposed their plans. Just stood in Poland and talked to Gao Yang Yajun about the affairs of King Xiang, and Gao Yang Yajun called the ministers to discuss it after listening to him.
An afternoon later, all the ministers agreed. They could also guess Feng Haoyuan and Gao Yang Yajun's plan. It's just that everyone is a smart person, and they don't say anything through it.
In the end, Feng Haoyuan returned to the Polish palace and told Scarbro the news of the agreement of the countries. Scarbro was very happy.
The next day, Scarborough announced that Feng Haoyuan Feng Xiangguo was the Marquis of Hongru. It is allowed to enter the court without trending, and the sword goes to the temple.
