A few more days passed.

The king of Fenyang County sat in the Zongren Mansion, and King An entered the Yiqing Palace alone to meet the Son of Heaven.

General Yin had already led 30,000 reinforcements to Hejing City a few days ago. At the same time, the battle reports of Hejing City were sent to the capital one after another.

The Divine Guard was defeated once, half of the grain and grass were burned, morale was low, and two more defeats were fought in succession.

To add insult to injury, Zhou Yong stayed awake for several days, angry, and fell ill. When the two armies faced each other, the main general of one side fell ill, and the morale of the generals was low due to the lack of food and grass, and the situation was really not good. It is inevitable to suffer defeats one after another.

The impeachment of the main general Zhou Yong in the DPRK and China was also half a person high. There are fierce words, and it is Zhou Yong's fault to directly scold the defeat. These people are not worthy of being the chief general at all, so they should be relieved of their official positions and directly escorted to the capital for questioning.

These twists and turns were all left by the Son of Heaven.

However, these days, Sheng Hong's mood is obviously not good. It is common to wake up early and go to bed late every day, have an emergency military intelligence report, and be woken up in the middle of the night. The handsome and peerless face was also haggard and darkened a lot.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, and the royal brother is thin and haggard." King An's tone was full of distress.

Sheng Hong's heart warmed, and he put down the fold: "The war is urgent, don't talk about me, the hundred officials in the court, which one can eat well and sleep well?" Everybody is worried about it. Haven't you lost a lot of weight too? ”

"You deliberately entered the palace today, could it be that someone on the side of the vassal kings is willing to open his mouth to speak?"

King An raised his eyebrows and smiled: "The vassal kings are all hard bones. I and the king of Fenyang County are in the Zongren Mansion every day, and we are spending time with them to see who has more stamina. ”

"For more than half a month, I asked the famous chefs of Shu to 'serve' the vassal kings. It paid off. Two vassal kings couldn't help but spit out with me in private. confessed that the Great Dynasty would make trouble that day, and he was instructed by the King of Jiangxia. ”

As he spoke, King An presented two testimonies.

Sheng Hong took the testimony and quickly skimmed through it, and a coldness flashed in his eyes: "Sure enough, it's the King of Jiangxia." ”

After the vassal kings returned to Beijing, they seemed to be subservient on the surface, but in fact they never really stopped separating. Sheng Hong planted eyeliner in the palaces of all feudal princes. However, there are some confidential and important things that cannot be detected by eyeliner.

Among the vassal kings, the most suspicious is the King of Jiangxia.

"The two of them not only recognized the king of Jiangxia, but also were willing to sacrifice the private soldiers of the domain to the imperial court." King An said another piece of good news: "When I entered the palace today, I reported this matter to the imperial brother. ”

"They didn't have many private soldiers, one had about 5,000 and the other had 8,000. On weekdays, they rely on private printing to dispatch private soldiers. Now I have said where the private seal is stored. The royal brother sent someone to verify the authenticity, and he knew the authenticity. ”

Sheng Hong stretched his brows, got up and walked over, and patted King An on the shoulder: "Okay!" Well done! ”

That's a good start.

It's like digging a wall. No matter how strong the wall is, as long as there is a crack, it is only a matter of time before it completely collapses.

King An grinned: "It's good to be able to contribute to the emperor's brother." ”

The white and delicate face has faded from the immature and frivolous air, and the eyes are firm and composed.

King An has really grown up and matured, and he will soon be able to take charge on his own.

Sheng Hong was very happy in his heart, and slapped King An hard.

King An was so stunned that he shouted: "Brother Huang is happy, don't shoot me hard!" My fragile little shoulders, where can I resist the royal brother from slapping hard! I'm going to Jiaofang Hall and find the imperial sister-in-law to complain! ”

Sheng Hong laughed, stretched out his foot and kicked the flamboyant King An: "Go and go, just go and sue!" Look at who your imperial sister-in-law is heading for! ”

……

After King An left the Yiqing Palace, he really went to the Jiaofang Hall again, rubbing his shoulders and shaking his legs aggrievedly: "...... Sister-in-law, look, the royal brother will bully me. He patted me on the shoulder, and kicked me in the leg. ”

Xie Mingxi was also amused.

When she and Sheng Hong got married, King An was still a child. Over the years, An Wang'an has kept to herself, and she, as a sister-in-law, can't be hard-hearted to the coquettish and obedient uncle, and she is also quite biased.

"When your imperial brother comes back, I will definitely count him down and give you anger." Xie Mingxi said with a smile.

Wang An smiled happily: "It's still the imperial sister-in-law who loves me the most." ”

After a few jokes, King An told Xie Mingxi about the two vassal kings identifying King Jiangxia.

Xie Mingxi's eyes flashed, and he pulled the corners of his mouth: "That being the case, you released the two vassal kings from the Zongren Mansion." I will have the two princesses sent back to their homes today. There is no need to seal the vassal palace anymore. ”

It is to let all the vassal kings watch and surrender to the Son of Heaven to have a good life.

Otherwise, live in the prison of the Zongren Mansion and eat Shu delicacies every day!

King An restrained his smile and responded with a positive color.

……

Xie Mingxi's movements were very neat. On the same day, he ordered the two princesses of the vassal to be sent back to the vassal palace, and each of them had a generous reward.

The two princesses of the feudal domain were treated so favorably, and they were quite shocked. It wasn't until the prince of his own family left the Zongren Mansion and returned to the mansion that he was at ease. The old husband and wife escaped, hugged and cried when they met.

"Zongren Mansion, I can't stay for a day. I haven't eaten a single ingestible meal in over a month. Stomach pain every day. This King An is too cunning and insidious. ”

"I'm in the palace, and I'm scared every day, I can't eat well and sleep well. It is good for the prince to hand over private soldiers. In the future, there is no need to be afraid, just live with peace of mind. ”

The next day, the two vassal kings went to the palace of Chenliu again.

King Chen Liu, who had been recuperating from his illness, met with two vassal kings. What the three of them said in private, outsiders don't know. When the two vassal kings left the Chenliu Palace, their expressions were extremely calm and relieved.

As Sheng Hong expected, the most difficult step in digging the foot of the wall is the first step. After taking the first step, the second and third steps are much easier.

Over the next month, three more vassal kings bowed their heads and confessed their sins, and surrendered their private soldiers.

Sheng Hong intended to be gracious, but did not pursue it to the end, and ordered the king of Fenyang to send the vassal king back to his home. Xie Mingxi also sent the princess back to her home in the fastest time. All the treatment is no different from the past.

The vassal kings who refused to bow their heads and confess their sins continued to suffer in the prison of the Zongren Mansion. The princesses of the feudal clans were also not allowed to be free and continued to "stay" in the palace.

Compared with the two, it is not floating from unpopular popularity.

King Jiangxia made up his mind to go all the way to the dark, but the other vassal kings still had room to retreat. After a long time, among the vassal kings who had suffered a lot, some people pointed out that the 30,000 private soldiers were secretly instructed by the king of Jiangxia.

The one who confessed and testified was the king of Nan'an, who had been very close to the king of Jiangxia.

After Sheng Hong read the testimony, his face was as calm as water, and he ordered in a cold voice: "Come on, King Jiangxia of Xuannan will enter the palace immediately." ”
