"The first way, Chen Nan said that over the years, the magnates of the imperial court have continued to exploit the people, so that the people's livelihood has withered, and many people can't even eat their stomachs, which is not what Mingjun did. ”

Liang Yuchen suddenly smiled playfully: "So he asked the royal family, as well as the princes of the court, to distribute all the money and food that had been levied and extorted in the past thirty years to the civilians, as long as he could do this, he would take action against the ghost army." ”

"What, to give money and food to those untouchables?"

Some ministers jumped up at once: "This is absolutely impossible, who would want to give away the wealth in hand?"

"The young sect master said that we are tyrannical, it is simply slander, we have done our best for the court over the years, and we have never confiscated a tael of black money, and all we have taken are upright court money. ”

"That's right, we will never agree to such conditions!"

One by one, the ministers excitedly objected.

Whenever the country declines, there will be cases where the imperial court is unkind to the government and exploits the people with all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes.

Not only the courtiers, but also many royal families over the years, even including Huoyun Yanqing, the monarch, have exploited huge benefits from the people.

Human nature is greedy, since they have already eaten it in their stomachs, how can they let them spit it out again?

Zhao Chiyun pouted and mocked: "Why, didn't you just say that you could do your best for the last child of the family for the sake of the imperial court, but now you refuse to give out even a little money, you guys are turning your face too quickly, right?"

Another elder sneered and said, "Brother Chiyun, people just talk casually and show loyalty to the king, after all, you don't have to really work hard to talk about it, how can you take it seriously?"

"Oh, I misunderstood!"

Zhao Chiyun looked as if he really understood: "Everyone, it was Zhao who misunderstood, I thought you were really loyal to the king, but it turned out that you were just talking, sorry, sorry, I embarrassed you." ”

Everyone's faces were the same as purple eggplants, and they all squinted at Huoyun Yanqing.

Huoyun Yanqing was expressionless, as if he hadn't heard anything.

"Hehe, it seems that the first way is not going to work. ”

Liang Yuchen was not surprised: "Then let's talk about the second article, your lord, Chen Nan said that if you don't agree to disperse the money and grain, then give him the land within a radius of 100,000 li from the Extreme Dao Martial Sect as a fief." ”

"This is simple, the widow will go back and plan to announce the decree to the world, and put 100,000 ...... around Wuzong No, 300,000 miles of land, rewarded to the young sect master. ”

Huoyun Yanqing immediately agreed.

"Wait, I'm not done yet. ”

Liang Yuchen continued unhurriedly: "In addition to the fief, Chen Nan also hopes that the monarch can hand over the princes' orders to him as a token of the promise. ”

"What, Princes' Order?"

Huoyun Yanqing was so shocked that he almost jumped up: "Sect Master Liang, what does Sect Master Chu Shao mean, he actually wants the princes' orders, are you preparing to rebel?"

Not only him, but also the Huoyun Wushuang next to him, the prime minister, and the ministers, all of them were full of horror.

Because Chu Chennan's condition is too difficult to accept.

What is the Order of the Princes?

That is the foundation of a vassal state, and it also represents the recognition of the royal family by the suzerain.

In this southern region, all vassal states must get the princely orders given by the Burning Sun Empire if they want to establish a country, if not, even if you forcibly establish a country, you will be destroyed by the Burning Sun Empire.

Therefore, Chu Chennan's request for the order of the princes is actually equivalent to asking Huoyun Yanqing to hand over the entire Huoyun Kingdom, how could he agree to this kind of thing?

"Rebellion? hehe, the king misunderstood. ”

Liang Yuchen smiled lightly: "Chen Nan just doesn't believe in the credibility of the royal family, what if after he defeats the ghost army, you turn your face and deny it?" So he wants a valuable thing to hold in his hand to prevent you from defaulting on your debts." ”

"Valuable things don't necessarily have to be ordered by the princes, right?"

Huoyun Wushuang frowned: "In my opinion, it's better to ask the young sect master to choose one other thing, the princes' order is absolutely impossible." ”

"This matter is not negotiable, unless the princes' orders are handed over, Chen Nan will not make a move. ”

Liang Yuchen stood up: "You have figured it out, whether it is your life that is important, or a token that is important, that's it, Elder Zhao, send off guests!"

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Zhao Chiyun stood up and said coldly: "Everyone, please!"

How do you want to drive them away?

Huoyun Yanqing and the others had gloomy faces, but they didn't dare to say anything, so they could only get up and leave.

On the way back.

Father and daughter rode in the same carriage.

"Father, what shall we do now?"

Huoyun Wushuang looked irritable, she didn't expect things to turn out like this.

Huoyun Yanqing didn't answer, but asked, "Wushuang, what do you say the prime minister and those ministers are thinking now?"

"They should also be thinking, is there any other way to ask Chu Chennan to make a move?"

"Isn't there a solution in front of you? ”

"Father, what do you mean by this......"

Huoyun Wushuang understood, so his eyes widened in surprise.

"You guessed it right, they must be thinking about how to persuade the widow to hand over the princes' orders. ”

"This ...... It can't be, right?"

"What's impossible, Chu Chennan has already given a choice, either to send money and grain, or to hand over the princes' orders, how do you think they will choose?"

Huoyun Yanqing sneered: "Don't look at those ministers, they usually grovel in front of the widows one by one, but they are actually all hungry wolves, insatiable, let them give money and food to those untouchables, it is better to kill them, but the princes' orders are different." ”

"Anyway, the monarch of the Huoyun Kingdom is not them, even if they hand over the princes' orders, they won't feel distressed, in their opinion, the result of the matter is at most to change the monarch, how much loss can they have?"

Huoyun Yanqing gritted his teeth: "But on the other hand, in exchange for a princes' order to get Chu Chennan to make a move, you can repel the ghost army and keep their family property, why not?"

"Is that really the case?"

Huoyun Wushuang's face turned a little pale: "Father, do you think they will secretly conspire and unite to force you to hand over the princes' orders?"

"Not in a short time, but once the ghost army approaches the royal capital, the widow will not dare to guarantee what those ministers will do. ”

Huoyun Yanqing's expression was serious: "So Wushuang, now you must immediately set off for the Ancient Sword Country, no matter what the price, you must let Dongfang Mingxin and Ximen Ye promise to send troops to support us." ”

"Will they say yes?"

"I don't know, but this is the only way, otherwise do you really want your father to hand over the princes' orders?"

Huoyun Wushuang didn't know what to say.

Although she didn't want the royal family to hand over the princes' orders like this, to be honest, she really didn't have much confidence in whether she could let Dongfang Mingxin and Ximenye send troops.

"I knew that today, I should have treated Chu Chennan sincerely, so for the sake of my friends, he would definitely help, and he would not put forward such harsh conditions. ”

Huoyun Wushuang was very remorseful in his heart.

She shook her head: "Father, have you ever thought about what we should do if Dongfang Mingxin and they don't agree to send troops, will we just stay in the royal capital and wait for death?"

"Of course it can't be, if there are really no reinforcements, my father will flee with the entire royal family and property, after all, as long as our family is still there, as long as the princes' orders are still there, even if the country is destroyed now, one day in the future, we can still restore the country, and we can always step on the heads of that group of untouchables. ”

Huoyun Yanqing sneered.
