Chapter 570: Choosing a side

The reason why Zhaoshu was exiled, Xuan Ling did not announce it to the world, the minister of Jiangnan only knew that he had made a big mistake and wanted to be exiled to Qiongzhou, but there are still variables in this kind of punishment of the royal family, as long as the emperor repents, he can revoke it at any time, so Wei Xing and Lu Baiqian are also a little difficult, after all, the identity of King Qi is there, no matter what kind of edict he is, even if there is no edict or a fake edict, King Xin can't get the credentials, and he can't compete with King Qi.

Seeing the ministers below whispering, Lu Baiqian was a little anxious, he felt that Wei Xing could stand by and watch, Ezhou was obviously the territory of King Xin, why did he fall to King Qi all of a sudden? He wanted to stand up, but Wei Xing gave him a look, as if to let him wait and see.

Zhao Zhen looked at Zhao Shu and clenched his fists.

"Fifth brother, it's not impossible to ask the younger brother to hand over the power seal of the envoy, as long as you make an oath here!"

Zhao Shu was secretly happy in his heart, this Zhao Zhen really couldn't hold on, he had to hand over the power today, and he had to hand over the power today, and he had to pay if he didn't pay it.

"Oh, what swear?"

"From this moment on, we Jiangnan to drive out the Hulu, restore Da Wei as the number, and Dajing to fight to the death, little brother, I am willing to be a pawn, charge for you, even if you do your best to die, but if you plan to bow to Dajing and sue for peace, then I will not agree!"

This was said categorically, and Zhao Shu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Guo Zihu was behind Zhao Shu and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, have you forgotten what the minister told you?" On the way here, he told Zhaoshu that no matter what King Xin asked, he could agree, as long as he got the power, it was not up to them to decide what to do in the end.

Zhao Shu nodded reluctantly.

"This king can agree, and my Da Wei and Da Jing are incompatible."

"Okay, since this is the case, please ask the fifth brother to write down this oath, if there is any violation, immediately return the Jiangnan Mabu Water Army to the throne, and tell the world, at that time, the younger brother is willing to obey the fifth brother's orders, go into battle to kill the enemy and never retreat!"

"It's-"

Zhaoshu was stunned for a moment, and asked him to swear that he could, and asked him to write an edict to announce it to the world, which could not be done.

Zhao Zhen sneered, he blocked his retreat, and also blocked Zhao Shu's retreat.

Wei Xing nodded, showing a look of relief, and Lu Baiqian breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that Zhao Shu did not have the courage to write such an edict and announce it to the people of the world.

"Fifth brother, what are you hesitating about at this time?"

Zhao Shu glanced back at Guo Zihu, Guo Zihu's face turned blue with anger, he didn't expect His Royal Highness King Xin to be so powerful, at this moment he didn't speak, Zhao Shu would definitely not be able to stand it, at this time he took a step forward and saluted Zhao Zhen.

"Your Royal Highness, the minister is Guo Ziyi, the envoy of Guangnan West Road, and the minister has a word and has to vomit."

Zhao Zhen knew that he couldn't stop it if he wanted to, so he raised his hand.

"Lord Guo, please speak."

"Your Royal Highness, the current situation is in crisis, although I am rich in Jiangnan, I am not good at using soldiers, my war over the years has been mainly defensive, and there are few victories in taking the initiative to attack, we can't drag the country on the road of no return!"

Before Zhao Zhen could speak, Lu Baiqian laughed.

"Lord Guo, what you say is wrong, I have thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, today I will lose a secluded sixteen states, tomorrow I will lose a famous mansion, others will occupy your capital, you say it's okay, I still have Jiangnan, but how long can Jiangnan last, you step by step, others will step by step, as the saying goes, if there is no way to retreat, there is no need to retreat, why bear it anymore, blindly seeking peace, will only help the arrogance of the capital country!"

Lu Baiqian's words were deafening, and Guo Ziyu was taken aback by his momentum, but after all, he was scheming, and he ignored Lu Baiqian at the moment and bowed to Zhaoshu and Zhaozhen.

"Two highnesses, Lord Lu's willfulness will not lead to results, and it is in vain for everyone to argue, it is better for the ministers present today to vote together, to see if there is more peace or more main battle, if there is more main battle, we will fight to the death with Dajing Kingdom, if there is more peace, then accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity, how about it?"

Zhao Shu nodded.

"Okay, this king agrees."

Zhao Zhen glanced at the ministers around him, Guo Ziyu was able to take Zhao Shu to break into his own mansion, he must have made careful arrangements, Jian Chunye on his side is a surrender faction, if everyone really votes, the main battle faction will definitely be a minority, but he can't refuse it at once, so he smiled.

"Fifth brother, do you think this king will agree?"

Zhao Zhen has been calling him the fifth brother since Zhao Shu entered the door, because his title of King Qi has been abolished, and his only advantage now is that his identity is slightly higher. Reading the Library

Zhaoshu shrugged.

"Of course I agree, because that's everyone's opinion."

Zhao Zhen sneered.

"This king has even changed his own guards by you, do you think there is any point in such a vote?"

Zhao Shu smirked.

"Haha, eighteen brothers, Ezhou is your territory, although this king is stronger than you, but it is in Linjiang Town and Tanzhou, I am still a guest here, you just need to say hello, who can stop the army outside, will such a vote be unfair?"

Zhao Zhen also smirked, and the laughter was louder than Zhao Shu.

"Hahaha, fifth brother, if you invite a Wu Tiandang to be in charge, you dare to say that it is stronger than this king, it is really laughing to death, and a general from a water source dares to compare with this king!"

Zhao Zhen is indeed qualified to say this, he fought all the way from Fenzhou, even if he didn't rush to the front, he also killed from the sword mountain and the sea of fire, Wu Tiandang was not qualified to compare with him at all.

Zhao Shu's only advantage now is that there are many people, if Zhao Zhen refuses to let the minister vote, then how can he bring him down, do you really want to splash blood in Ezhou Mansion and kill Zhao Zhen on the spot? In that case, once the army in Ezhou mutinied, it would be difficult for them to get out.

Guo Ziyu kept looking at Wei Xing from the corner of his eyes behind Zhao Shu, he felt that this old general was very calm, Guo Zihu was a little scared, if he killed Zhao Zhen, he would also get rid of Wei Xing, because he was the main battle faction, the question was to kill these two people, can Jian Chunye control the situation in Ezhou?

Zhao Shu saw that Guo Zilu did not give him a hint, and knew that he still wanted to coerce Zhao Zhen to hand over power.

"Zhen'er, my brother is kind and persuasive, why are you still obsessed, if this is the case, the most proud will be Wan Yan A Shilan, he must hope that our brothers will fight against each other and kill each other, this king is here, he just doesn't want such a thing to happen."

Zhao Zhen nodded.

"No, you can't call yourself king. Because you have abolished the throne, but you are still my fifth brother, and the younger brother really doesn't want an infighting between us first, as long as you agree to the conditions I just said, the younger brother can hand over the command of Ezhou! ”

Having said that, there is no room for manoeuvre on either side.

Lu Baiqian and Eighth Master were so anxious that they wanted to jump up.

Guo Zihu's eyes finally showed murderous intent, and he nodded towards Zhaoshu.

Zhao Shu got the hint, slowly opened the edict in his hand, and asked the ministers: "My lords, this king has been edicted to set up a Mabu Water Army Recruitment Division in Jiangnan, we can't mess up in Jiangnan, if you support this king, please stand behind this king, if you support His Royal Highness King Xin, please stand on his side!" ”

Xie Caijian said loudly to everyone: "Yes, wait a minute, which Highness has more people to support, which Highness is the real Jiangnan Mabu Water Army Recruiter!" ”

Zhao Zhen trembled with anger, Zhao Shu is strong, where are his people at this moment, he wants to stop Zhao Shu from choosing a side, but he can't stop it.

Those ministers were a little hesitant, and now at the last moment, this is a matter of choosing sides, and after choosing sides, they will act.

Lu Baiqian grabbed Wei Xing's sleeve and was about to walk behind Zhao Zhen, but Wei Xing struggled and shook his head at Lu Baiqian.

"Y-Why don't you come with me?"

"Take another look."

"What else to see!"

Lu Baiqian almost died in a hurry, how could Wei Xing be slow, this is not like his usual style of acting.

Two ministers moved, first standing behind Zhao Shu, and then someone followed.

Lu Baiqian stomped his feet and strode behind Zhao Zhen to stand still.

Seeing Lu Baiqian move, those ministers became emboldened and began to choose sides, and many people walked behind Zhao Shu, most of them were ministers sent by Guo Zilu a few days ago to pretend to obey Zhao Zhen's orders.
