Chapter 788: Prepared
Tomorrow is the banquet of the vassal king, and early in the morning, Mu Ling checked the banquet with the Internal Affairs Office and the Imperial Dining Room, and only after reviewing it was correct, he was relieved to hand it over to Qinqi, calligraphy and painting.
The lords who came to the banquet of the vassal kings this time were all masters who would make trouble, and the overlords who had divided the territory for so long were suddenly told that they could no longer be the overlords, and they would definitely have opinions.
And it's okay that only one or two have opinions, but more than a dozen vassal kings have opinions together, and it is inevitable that something will happen.
Mu Ling frowned, and suddenly felt that Liang Chu's decision was a little too hasty.
Even if you want to summon people into the capital to catch them all, it doesn't have to be this time...... And she still thinks that each method of breaking is better.
"What are you thinking?"
Thinking about who would come, Mu Ling looked up and saw a long figure walking by the door, and couldn't help but look at him with disgust: "Why aren't you busy today?" ”
"Where is there a time when every day is busy, there are special people for banquets, and they are almost arranged, that is, there is no need to worry about the city defense of the entire capital, but today I am free."
Liang Chu lay comfortably beside her, his hands on his head, and closed his eyes in enjoyment.
Mu Ling simply moved his body, put his head on his lap, and helped him gently pinch his head.
"I'm still thinking about whether it's appropriate for all the vassal kings to enter Beijing together. If you learn the news of the cutting of the feudal domain at the banquet, I am afraid that it will be attacked in groups, and then the palace will be in chaos, and I am afraid it will be very difficult to deal with it. ”
"Hmph...... Didn't you know my purpose before they entered the capital? ”
"Huh?"
"Those old foxes have already gathered troops to prepare to suppress me before entering Beijing, if it weren't for this, how could they come to Beijing so confidently."
Liang Chu was lazy, and he didn't bother to open his eyes.
Mu Ling's heart was shocked, and his subordinates couldn't help but feel a little heavier, which caused Liang Chu to cry out in pain.
"You're going to murder your husband!" Liang Chu jumped up, hugged her in his arms and kissed her fiercely.
"I ask you, what if there is a real mess? Not to mention that the imperial court can suppress it or not, it is the people who suffer from the war. The war on this border has just subsided, and there is a rebellion of the Five Poisons Sect, and now there is another rebellion of the vassal king, and there is no peace in the whole day. ”
Mu Ling glared at him helplessly, worried.
Where did the people manage the power of the court and the power of the vassal kings, they could only control their own food, drink, and Lazar. If wars are too frequent and the people's lives are not at peace, it will be sooner or later that they will lose the hearts and minds of the people.
I didn't want Liang Chu to smile: "Are you unprepared for me?" ”
Mu Ling looked at him fixedly, obviously very puzzled.
He didn't seem to have made any big moves in the past two years, and if he was suddenly prepared, she really didn't believe it.
Liang Chu hugged her and said with a smile: "In the past few years, I have secretly controlled all the forces of the vassal kings, and in addition, the land of the vassal kings has been divided badly over the years, and some of the small vassal kings who have been divided have already been annexed by the imperial court." If it is said that there are only two or three vassal kings who can still come up with troops now, the others are just coaxing. ”
If he wasn't sure, how would he do this?
Although those vassal kings seem to be many now, they are actually just deceiving themselves, putting on a gorgeous coat for themselves, and if they talk about power, I am afraid that they are not worth a small county order.
And these vassal kings have long known their fate, so it is better to conform to the court and take some benefits to be an idle nobleman.
Rao is like this, if someone makes trouble, they are happy to watch the excitement on the side. It would be great if you could follow the troublemaker's ass and pick up some benefits.
Liang Chu saw this, so he made such a fanfare.
Mu Ling was still worried in his heart, so he used the banquet on the second day to leave more than half of the secret guards and tiger guards by Qian'er and Le'er's side to ensure the safety of the two of them.
The banquet was full of feudal lords and their families, and they were all extravagant.
Liang Chu picked up his wine glass: "I am very happy today, don't be restrained, don't be restrained, drink and have fun!" I've had this one first! ”
"Good!"
The crowd cheered, and the vassal kings raised their glasses and dried up.
Immediately, the vassal king came forward to toast alone, and Liang Chu responded one by one, with a pair of deep eyes full of confusion, quietly looking at the people at the entire banquet.
After the after-show arranged by the vocal music workshop, Liang Chu straightened his clothes and began to get down to business: "I heard that there were saints in ancient times, and I couldn't bear to bother the elderly, so I bowed down to everything. I plan to follow suit now, what do you uncles think? ”
"This ......"
There was silence.
Most of the scheming and reluctant to let go of their power are feudal kings with older generations, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are Liang Chu's uncles.
And Liang Chu's words are hinting to everyone, you are all old, just enjoy the blessings, this vassal king and this land will be taken back! And this is the way of a saint, do you dare to refute it? Then you look down on the saints?
In ancient times, saints had a kind of deterrent power, and if anyone dared to say that they looked down on saints, they would undoubtedly become the target of public criticism.
Even if you keep this glorious and wealthy position for a while, it will not last long.
But if they do, aren't they acquiescing in the surrender of the right?
It was originally in their own hands, who wants to hand it over like this?
For a while, everyone looked at each other, but no one was willing to give an answer.
Liang Chu was not in a hurry, he picked up the wine glass and drank it slowly, without any sign of urging them, and he didn't seem to care about their answers.
After a moment of silence, it was finally broken by a hearty laugh.
Mu Ling turned his eyes and saw that he was a younger vassal king, a small vassal king, but he still had the ability.
I saw him holding a glass of wine in his hand, stood up and said to Liang Chu: "If you are a minister for one day, you will be a minister for the end." As long as the emperor is in need, the minister is willing to serve the emperor! ”
It's not bad to be a courtier.
Mu Ling smiled slightly, this person sees very clearly, this is what smart people do.
What do you do when you always occupy other people's things? If you are envious, why not work hard to earn it?
Liang Chu pursed a smile on the corner of his lips, picked up the wine glass and drank it all, which was considered to be the fulfillment of this person's wish.
Some people started to show their loyalty, and then more people began to show their loyalty. It is naturally good to be able to get a place and a source of income to support your family.
After such a circle, only a few old guys were left to sit still with iron faces.
It seems that these are those difficult bones.
Mu Ling knew it in his heart and was faintly worried.
