Chapter 121: Go to Pingyan again
In the Han Empire, Liu Hongwen, the vassal prince of Wei, was executed by the three princes of the empire, the British king Liu Xiu, by thunderous means, and promptly incorporated Liu Hongwen to raise the hidden army.
But at the same time, at the place where Han Wei was handed over, and even in Dongping City, the secret posts of various countries passed on their own news, and there were endless exchanges, as if on the entire continent, everyone's eyes were on this vassal state, everyone was secretly speculating, and some people were even ready to move, in a vain attempt to get a piece of the pie in the troubled times when Dongping was not stable.
For a while, the seemingly calm situation on the entire continent was already surging in private at this moment.
In Dongping City, the palace of the palace.
Liu Xiu sat in the exclusive seat of the imperial family next to the throne, and the seat of the throne was vacant, and no one was sitting yet.
On the opposite side of Liu Xiu, there were less than thirty ministers who came to discuss politics this time, all of them were dressed in court clothes that were only worn when worshipping the heavens, solemn and solemn, these people were all important high-ranking officials in the country, and they all gathered together at this moment to bow to the enemy in their hearts, King Liu Xiu, and wait for his order.
Liu Xiu was in this empty hall, looking at the ministers who bowed down in the main hall, and suddenly felt that the blood veins all over his body were boiling in an instant, in a place that everyone could not see, in the dark, his hands were clenched into fists, trying to suppress his trembling body from excitement, and took a breath.
It's just that he didn't see Su Ze, who bowed his head and saluted, a trace of unclear meaning flashed in his eyes.
"Everyone!" After the ministers finished saluting, Liu Xiu slowly opened his mouth and said loudly:
"King Wei raises dead soldiers, slaughters people in the city, recruits soldiers and steals food, and the heart of rebellion, passers-by can know! This Wang Xi is the third prince of the empire, the title of the British king, how can he allow the vassal king to rebel, overthrow the country, and cause trouble to the people of the world! Wei Bang was originally a vassal country, and the officials and soldiers should be dispatched by the empire, but because there were Yan Barbarians in the north, the saint read that the Wei Wang's family was loyal for generations, and worried about the people, fearing that Yan Man would go south at any time, and the imperial army was not in a hurry to rescue, so he allowed Wei Wang to send officials, and allowed him to recruit troops and horses at critical moments. The people who have been scolded by the stone pen for thousands of years have been stinking for thousands of years. ”
After speaking, his eyes flashed, he stood up, met the eyes of the ministers, and continued:
"Now that the king of Wei has surrendered to the law, fortunately, the situation is stable, if you want to defend the country and continue to be peaceful, and the people are happy to live in peace, it is all up to you."
Wei Chen was overjoyed when he heard this, and understood that Liu Xiu did not have the intention of replacing his courtiers, so he hurriedly knelt down in response to the sound and shouted in unison:
"This is a matter within the scope of His Majesty, and he must do his best to live up to His Highness's trust!"
After speaking, he bowed his head to the ground and did not dare to raise his head.
Liu Xiuyi waved his hand and said:
"Everyone, please."
After everyone got up and stood still, he nodded, as if inadvertently glanced at Liu Hongwu, who had been standing not far behind him, with his head bowed, a trace of uncertainty flashed in his eyes, his eyes narrowed slightly, and when he turned around, he saw the door, Zhang Quanhai nodded to him
Outside the door, sunlight poured into the hall unscrupulously, dispelling the darkness and driving it to a corner where no one was paying attention, to the place where Val was hiding.
Liu Xiu's eyes were glazed, but he still kept a smile on his face, and said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, although the country is a vassal, but the royal power is not small, the so-called country can not be without a king for a day, you are all old ministers for many years, and you are far more familiar with this than this king, this king wants to hear your opinions."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed drastically, and they looked at each other almost at the same time, but they all saw the shock in each other's eyes.
The throne that he had worked so hard to win was about to be handed over again, and even Prime Minister Su Ze, who had been silent, was shocked.
At this moment, the thoughts in his mind turned sharply, and with his understanding of Liu Xiu and his familiarity with the situation of the empire, he almost immediately understood that in Luojing City, the emperor had no intention of letting Liu Xiu take control of Dongping.
Thinking of this, he was overjoyed, and after his eyes flashed a few times, he stood up from the train, bowed to Liu Xiu, and said:
"Your Royal Highness, the minister thought that this time he could calm the chaos in Dongping in a short period of time without disturbing the people, His Royal Highness is really a great contribution, and now the people are thinking about it, begging for the British Lord, His Royal Highness is expected to return, and he should inherit the title of King Wei!"
After speaking, he suddenly took a step forward and answered in a loud voice:
"Minister, I am willing to lead the courtiers to defend the country, and jointly submit a letter to ask for the grace of God."
Everyone was stunned at first, but quickly reacted, and they all stepped forward and answered behind Su Ze:
"Ministers, I beg Your Highness not to shirk and succeed to the title of King Wei!"
Liu Xiu's eyes flashed, and before he could speak, among the ministers, Fang Zhenyao, the imperial inspector who had not shown up for many days, walked out of the train, turned to Su Ze and saluted, and said:
"Lord Su, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for Your Highness to be in charge."
Su Ze was stunned for a moment and said:
"Oh? It turned out to be Lord Fang, I haven't seen him for a long time, the old man dared to ask Lord Fang, where did the word 'inappropriate' come from? ”
Fang Zhenyao saluted Liu Xiu before turning to Su Ze and replied:
"Because after the East is stable, His Royal Highness will go to Pingyan and garrison the border to resist the enemy."
After speaking, he took a step forward, and under Liu Xiu's acquiescing gaze, he walked to the front, faced the ministers, and said loudly:
"When His Royal Highness came to Dongping, Xia Guan had secretly rushed to Pingyan City, inspected the border, and visited the enemy.
He glanced at everyone, saw that all eyes fell on him, his eyes were slightly dark, and he continued to say in a loud voice:
"Although our army was defeated in Pingyan to invade Yan Man, and even shot the barbarian Yan Emperor Murong Ke, the situation is very good, and we can even send troops to attack Yan at any time, step on the barbarian country, and achieve the hegemony of the ages with the hatred and shame of snow for a hundred years.
As soon as the words fell, the audience was shaken, and everyone subconsciously whispered and discussed, and they forgot about the election of King Wei for the time being.
Behind Liu Xiu, in the dark, in the eyes of Var Liu Hongwu, there was already a faint look of impatience and anxiety.
After a long period of noise, I saw Su Ze and the people around him discuss for a while, and then turned around with a frown, and the other party Zhenyao said:
"Please also ask the Fang Observer to make it clear."
Fang Zhenyao saw that he was polite, and heard that he had made outstanding contributions in the assassination of Liu Xun and the encirclement and suppression of King Wei, so he did not dare to slack off, so he hurriedly bowed and replied:
"Su Xiang, Xia Guan is not all in Pingyan City, a few days ago, Xia Guan took advantage of the fact that Beiyan had no time to take care of the border, and several of his subordinates were ordered by His Royal Highness to sneak into Yan Country to find out the news, although Xia Guan did not go to the capital of Yan State, but also went deep into the enemy territory, so he has an understanding of the situation in Yan State, and he will not take it for granted."
Su Ze frowned, and almost as soon as his voice fell, he replied and asked:
"You can tell me about the situation in Yan Kingdom."
Almost instantly, Liu Xiu clearly felt that a gaze with murderous aura and anger shot straight out from behind him.
He felt a pang in his heart, forcibly held back and did not look back, and looked at the two Su Fang in the field as if nothing happened, and that gaze locked on the figures of the two almost at the same time.
Liu Xiu sighed in his heart, and for some reason, he suddenly felt a little dazed in an instant.
He deliberately kept Wa'er by his side, cultivating his thirst for power but not letting him be contaminated with power on weekdays, when he first met him, he was still a child without scheming, and now, he can no longer see his shy smile.
He shook his head and sighed inwardly, Val, it's just a transitional pawn!
Just when he was a little inexplicably emotional, in the field, he only heard that Fang Zhenyao had already spoken, and said;
"Whether it is Wei Guo or Yan Guo, there are rumors among the people that Murong Dan, the prince of Yan State, is a fool, but Emperor Murong Ke is bitter because he only has this one prince, so he can only cultivate it with all his heart, but Murong Dan is stupid by nature, although he is diligent, he is not good at political affairs, and he is not up to the people, so that everyone in Yan Kingdom looks down on this 'mentally handicapped prince'."
After speaking, he glanced up at Liu Xiu, only to see Liu Xiu nodding at him, this time coughing lightly, looking at Su Ze, and asked:
"Su Xiang, you also know that the reason why the Yan Kingdom was defeated in Pingyan was not only because His Highness was wise and our army was brave in battle, but also because there was an important reason."
Su Ze frowned, and as soon as his voice fell, he said:
"Yes, the army of Yan is not monolithic, this is also an important reason why Murong Ke has been eager to attack the city at that time, the capital is empty, the feudal towns are eyeing the tiger, the Yan country has been a great country for hundreds of years, all because of the division of domestic feudal towns, each town has heavy troops, and they are not subordinate to each other, so that Yan has not been able to exhaustively mobilize the troops of the whole country to attack me in the south, giving the country a chance to breathe."
Fang Zhenyao smiled after hearing this:
"What Su Xiang said is extremely true, the town of Yan State is not big, each has heavy troops, they are not convinced by each other, and they do not listen to the emperor's orders, this matter has been hundreds of years, even a generation of heroes Murong Ke has a headache, there is nothing to do, and this also gives me a good opportunity for our army's northern expedition, but since Murong Dan succeeded to the throne, in just a few months, the situation in Yan has changed greatly."
As soon as the words fell, the ministers were shaken, and a few impatient personalities spoke directly and said loudly:
"Lord Fang, don't sell it, just tell us directly, how has the situation in Yan Kingdom become?"
Fang Zhenyao hurriedly apologized to the ministers, turned around and saluted Liu Xiu, and said:
"Your Highness, the minister said bluntly."
Liu Xiu nodded after hearing this, and said:
"Now the situation in Yan is quite involved, especially related to the Northern Expedition of our army, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing that the other side will not be defeated in a hundred battles, let the Fang Observation Envoy explain to you, you have an understanding of the current situation in your heart, so as not to understand it after the war, and there are quite complaints."
After speaking, seeing that the ministers were silent, their eyes flashed, and they waved their hands, and the other party Zhenyao said:
"Say it."
Fang Zhenyao nodded yes.
The venue fell silent in an instant, and everyone looked at Fang Zhenyao, waiting for him to speak.
There was silence above the main hall, and even a pin drop could be heard. I1387
