Chapter 305: A dispute arose in the palace of the Southern King
Chapter 305: (Dispute in the South Palace)
Just when Shangguan Yin Feng was happily living in Shandong and training soldiers, something small happened in Yangzhou County.
Yangzhou Province, Nanwang Palace
Nangong Ao is proud of the 400,000 Jiangdong soldiers and the Yangtze River moat, sitting in the south and north across the river is too pleasant, although so, but he himself has not been abolished because of this comfortable and comfortable life, but he has made a lot of war windfalls, and the harvest is not small, especially the transaction with the green forest soldiers has made him a lot of money.
However, the good times did not last long, after the Red Mei Army was wiped out, Zhang Bu was awarded the head, and his economic resources in Shandong disappeared, and what was even more anxious was that he ushered in his son-in-law, the envoy of Yin Feng, the king of Changsha.
"King, Weichen thinks it's better not to see it, now my Jiangdong and the Central Plains court have been separated for a long time, even Shangguan Yin Feng's people are no exception, besides, Shangguan Yin Feng has been cut off all his titles by Gongsun Ning, if you really want to follow the court's etiquette system, now Shangguan Yin Feng is a white body..."
"Lord Chen is reasonable, in addition to being white, the current Shangguan Yin Feng is still a rebel belonging to the imperial court, has the king forgotten the information sent by Xiangyang a few days ago? Jinyiwei rebelled, and Liang Xin blocked the expeditionary army of the imperial court according to Xiangyang, isn't it a rebel? It is a shame that he is still carrying out rebellion in Hebei and Shandong, and is still implementing such an exaggerated decree. ”
"The matter of exemption from taxes and forced labor fundamentally affects the interests of the wealthy families in Hebei and Shandong, and if other people in the court know about it, I am afraid that it will be more than just a piece of paper to fight against it."
Nangong Ao listened to the report of the Wenchen in the palace, his face was serious, what these people said made sense, but now if the rule of the Cheng Dynasty loses the support of Shangguan Yin Feng, the little emperor of Gongsun Ning is a joke, and the rule of the Gongsun family is just a joke: "I think this matter needs to be treated differently, Nangong Xiao, what do you think?" ”
Nangong Xiao, as the head of the generals, is naturally the first to understand the truth in this: "King Hui, the last general thinks that what you say makes sense." As he spoke, he clasped his fists and looked at the civil officials who were convincing before, and then looked at Nangong and said arrogantly: "But there is one thing that the king must always know that Shangguan Yin Feng is still the king's son-in-law, and he is also half of the king's son." ”
A word woke up the person in the dream, Nangong Ao's eyes were excited, but Nangong Xiao said the key point of the whole thing appropriately: "When Cheng Gongwu was still alive, because he killed Shangguan Yin Feng's general Li Xiucheng, Cheng Gongwu's Qi State was destroyed, but after all, there is a reason, Cheng Gongwu is really unjustifiable to be called the emperor, just like Yuan Jingchu back then..." If you people had been instigated to become emperor back then, I'm afraid that Shangguan Yin Feng's army would have entered my Yangzhou territory by now..."
"The king, I still hope that the king will think twice, now Shangguan Yin Feng asked the king to send troops, and it is King Qin who sounds good, but everyone knows that he lost troops in Shandong and Hebei, although he eliminated Zhang Bu, but there is also Liu Penzi of the Han Dynasty Chu State in the south, and the Chu army is now no less than 200,000, even if it is Huainan State, it is only 100,000 military horses, and it will be just a noble, how can it win..."
"The minister thinks that the best way now is to ignore Shangguan Yin Feng's request, if he wants food or money, we can try our best to hold on, but it is absolutely impossible to send troops, the Han Dynasty is in full swing in Liangzhou, and the countries of the Western Regions are helping, the fall of the Tuoba clan is only a matter of time, and then it will be the Han family and Shangguan Yin Feng's struggle, the king just imagine, if Shangguan Yin Feng is defeated, among the princes of the Cheng Dynasty, there will be only the king left, and that time is when my Jiangdong and the Central Plains will go to war."
Basically, all the civil officials are opposed to Nangong Ao sending troops to help Shangguan Yin Feng, their interests are all the same as whether Jiangdong can be the lord of the Central Plains, of course, everyone wants to be the emperor, if Nangong Ao becomes the emperor, they are the first meritorious ministers of Conglong, not to mention the marquis and the prime minister, the glory and wealth will naturally not go away, and everyone wants to be a wife and a son.
"Xiu'er, what do you think about this?" Nangong proudly looked at a personable young general standing behind Nangong Xiao.
Nangong Xiu, Nangong Ao's eldest son, the future heir of Nanwang, but now he is still in the training, looking at Nangong Ao and asking himself, Nangong Xiu said with a straight face: "Father Qiqi, the eldest brother said very clearly before, Shangguan Yin Feng is the son-in-law of his father, and he is also the eldest brother of the child. ”
"The little prince is so bad..."A civil official stood up and said: "If the little prince now relies on family affection to govern the world, then in the future in Yangzhou, the little prince will also be emotional?" Please also ask the little prince to think thoughtfully. ”
"The king..."Nangong smiled and interrupted the words of the civil official, and preemptively said: "The world is the world of everyone, and the world today is not clear whether it is the Gongsun family or the Liu family, according to Lord Wang's previous remarks, if Shangguan Yin Feng and the Liu family lose the battle, then what the king will face is the swords and guns of the Han army, and our army is fighting or peace?" It's just a thought of the king, but the king has ever thought that Shangguan Yin Feng is in power, and the king is still the king of the south, after the world is settled, the king may have to increase the lord, but if the Liu family wins the world, the king is still the king of the south, but the last general doesn't know if the king can have so many courtiers and generals at that time..."
"Nangong Xiao, are you the king's person, or Shangguan Yin Feng's person, you maintain Shangguan Yin Feng everywhere, and you don't think about me Yangzhou at all, Jiangdong has raised you for decades, this is how you repay the king's kindness?" Shi Chenyan, the head of Nanwang's Mansion, stood up in line and scolded Nangong with a smile.
Nangong looked at Chen Yan helplessly, and did not refute, but just clasped his fists and looked at Nangong arrogantly: "The king, the minister's meaning is very clear, please think twice." ”
Nangong Xiu also stood up to help Nangong and said with a smile: "Father, the eldest brother is reasonable, hasn't my father thought about it, father, you are the king of the south of the dynasty, Liu Xuan in order to make you surrender, even if you are still the king of the south, but after the world is settled, the people of the Liu family will definitely cut off your father's military power, Han Xin, Peng Yue, and Yingbu are our lessons from the past..."
"Little Prince..." Chen Yan's face changed a few times, because Nangong Xiu was Nangong Ao's son, he couldn't take a heavy mouth, so he could only change his tone and say: "You are the future King of Nan, you have to think about Yangzhou, there are still hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Jiangdong, doesn't the little prince want to rule across the river?" ”
"Lord Chen..."Nangong laughed and reprimanded: "Governing across the river? If you were Liu Xuan, would you like to have a prince with a different surname with hundreds of thousands of soldiers next to you? How did Han Xin, Yingbu, and Peng Yue die, don't you Lord Chen Yan know? Cheng Tian only thinks about letting the king be the emperor, if he is the emperor, now Shangguan Yin Feng has already waved his troops south, let me ask Lord Chen, when the soldiers are pointing, will Lord Chen lead the troops to the battle..."
