Chapter 188: Edict

Da Zhou didn't think about fighting on both sides, and the prince's mission here was purely to scare Nan Chu, get some benefits, and save face. Before coming over, the bottom line in his heart was that as long as Nan Chu admitted his mistake, it didn't matter how much money he lost, but he didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain? Nan Chu was willing to hand over three people? One of them was Xiong Jun, the general of the Tiger Roaring Army?

If these three people can be brought back, then his mission this time will be greatly completed, and Da Zhou's face can be preserved, which is the best result. It doesn't matter if the land is cut or not, the major dynasties have always been very sensitive to land cutting, and no emperor wants to leave a stain in history, the bear is dying, and it is impossible to leave such a big stain before he dies.

So the two sides happily reached an agreement, compensated 10 billion silver taels, and sent King Xiong Junju and Ning Wuhou to Da Zhou and handed them over to Da Zhou for disposal.

The agreement is negotiated, but how to give an explanation to Mi Xiong is a big problem!

Qi Xiong said before that he couldn't cut the land and couldn't hand over the generals. It is very difficult to obtain the consent of Mi Xiong on this matter, and if it is not good to cause Mi Xiong to be angry, the position of the crown prince may not be guaranteed.

Zhu Gui discussed with the crown prince and found the prince of Da Zhou to talk for more than an hour. In the end, the prince of Da Zhou agreed to help them perform a play, at the cost of the prince secretly giving the prince one billion taels of silver.

The content of the acting is simple!

Zhu Gui and the crown prince went back to tell the truth, saying that Da Zhou's attitude was very tough. Either cut a state, or hand over a group of generals such as Xiong Jun, Zhuge Jian, and Princess Yunfei, or go to war, there is nothing to talk about.

When the bear heard it, the whole person was not good, no matter which outcome it was, it was not what he wanted to see. Cutting the land will be stinking for 10,000 years, and he has no face to see the ancestors of the Mi family. If you hand over those generals, the consequences will be serious, and he will be scolded in the country, and the morale of the army and the people will be unstable.

He could only let the prince and Zhu Gui continue to talk, the compensation could be a little more gold and silver, the land could not be cut, and people could not be paid. The crown prince and Zhu Gui pretended to continue to negotiate, back and forth, constantly bargaining. After three days of talking, the final result was discussed.

Prince Da Zhou said that either he would cede a state, or hand over King Xiong Junju and Marquis Ningwu, and at the same time compensate tens of billions of silver, if he still didn't agree, he would leave early tomorrow morning, and negotiate the outcome.

An ultimatum is on!

After getting the news, the bear was slightly stunned. Unexpectedly, they only need to hand over King Xiong Junju and Marquis Ningwu? These three are all three third-class vassal states, and their status is not particularly high. Xiong Jun is only a general of Jingguo, and King Ju is a prince, but the lord of Jiao is said to not like him, and Marquis Ning Wu is just a marquis of Ningguo, which is not particularly important.

They are not like Zhuge Jian, it is a candidate for the crown prince of Yasukuni, and Lu Guanhou is said to be the treasure of the lord of Lu State, and Princess Yunfei does not need to say much. Moreover, Xiong Jun and the three of them are all third-class vassal states, and their national strength is not strong, so they can't make any waves.

The only thing to consider now is the impact of the military and the civilian population after the news spreads!

But...... What if this matter is carried out in secret? What if the matter does not spread? It is suppressed for a short time, and when the matter passes, the next emperor ascends the throne and stabilizes the overall situation, then it does not matter.

Mi Xiong didn't hesitate for too long and chose the second plan.

He personally deployed, called Feng Wuchen, and asked him to take a few grandmasters to follow the Prince of Great Zhou to Bei'an City, directly suppress the whole army, take Xiong Jun and the other three, and hand them over to the Prince of Great Zhou to take away.

Then read his decree to suppress Yasukuni and Ningguo, and let the Tiger Roaring Army garrison Bei'an City for a year. In addition, he asked Zou Hui to block the intelligence system of Bei'an City and prevent news from leaking out, and he also asked Ye Xiangfo to suppress the Tiger Roaring Army.

On the other hand!

Mi Xiong is ready to give up the throne, and while he is not dead, he is ready to forcibly support the crown prince to ascend the throne. Only if he is not dead, will there be no turmoil when the crown prince ascends the throne. Otherwise, if he dies, even if there is an edict, there is no guarantee that there will be no problems, Sima Yue and Ram Qiu are not foolish and loyal, Ye Xiangfo will not participate in the seizure of the heir, the army on the prince's side is weak, and it is easy to have big problems.

"Prime Minister Zuo, go and arrange it!"

After dealing with a lot of things, Qi Xiong felt mentally exhausted, he waved his hand, and said weakly: "I can't last too long, the prince's ascension to the throne will be completed in half a month." All the planning and arrangements have been entrusted to you, and Nan Chu has also entrusted it to you. ”

"Half a month?"

Zhu Gui is slightly bitter in his heart, if there is a month, it will be easy to arrange. Half a month, it is inevitable that there will be some haste and turbulence. However, with the support of Mi Xiong, everything is not a big problem, and the rest of the things will be easy to handle after the crown prince ascends the throne.

He and the crown prince pretended to comfort the bear, and the two hurriedly retreated with joy, and then went to the East Palace to discuss for more than an hour, Zhu Gui and the prince were busy, preparing for the enthronement ceremony in half a month.

On the other side, Feng Wuchen took the five grandmasters and the Prince of Great Zhou to fly towards Bei'an City in a flying beast. They flew straight and arrived at Bei'an City in just over a day.

The atmosphere in Bei'an City is very tense!

Because the news that the Great Zhou army is gathering on the side of Bei'an City has spread, the soldiers and civilians here are very worried that the Great Zhou will launch an attack on Bei'an City. In particular, Ning Yuan, the lord of the Ning State, was even more worried, once attacked, how could he resist with the strength of the Ning State? Even if Southern Chu mobilized a large army, the Ning State would be scorched to the ground.

On the other hand, Princess Zhuge Jianlu Guanhou Yunfei and Princess Yunfei were not too worried, because they found Li Yunyi, and Ye Xiangfo also sent a letter. Li Yunyi and Ye Xiangfo both have the same opinion, Da Zhou is just bluffing, and it is impossible for Da Zhou to start a war on both sides.

The arrival of several flying beasts alarmed many people. Li Yunyi was drinking tea with Lu Guanhou Zhuge Jian at the back of a manor at the moment, they all looked up, and after taking a closer look, Li Yunyi's complexion immediately changed.

Zhuge Jian and Lu Guanhou also reacted quickly, and they both recognized the costume of the Prince of Great Zhou, which was only the costume of the Great Zhou royal family. Feng Wuchen and a prince of the Great Zhou came to Bei'an City, which is not good news no matter how you look at it.

Li Yunyi's eyes narrowed slightly, he frowned and paused: "The person who came is not good, I'm afraid there will be big trouble this time." ”

Zhuge Jian and Lu Guanhou were silent, and their faces became not very good-looking. The three of them waited for a while, and a commander walked quickly and announced: "The third prince, Lu Guanhou, Yi Junshi, and the national teacher have brought His Majesty's will, please go over and receive the order." ”

Zhuge Jian waved his hand to let the commander retreat, he and Lu Guanhou looked at Li Yunyi, and he asked, "Military advisor, what should I do?"

"What can I do?"

Li Yunyi's voice was slightly cold, and he said: "The national teacher came here with the holy decree, do you want to resist the decree? ”

The three of them walked out quickly and arrived at a large manor, and when they came over, Xiong Junyun, Feiju, Wang Ningyuan, and Uncle Wang of Zhuge Jian had arrived. Feng Wuchen stood in the inner hall with a expressionless face, and next to him stood the prince of Da Zhou.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Feng Wuchen continued to pronounce the decree with a blank face. This holy decree is very soft, and it does not directly say that the Tiger Roaring Army has committed any crimes, but only that because the Tiger Roaring Army has strayed into the Great Zhou, and now Southern Chu has appointed King Xiong Junju and Ning Wuhou as the envoys of Southern Chu to go to the holy capital of the Great Zhou to explain.

After reading the holy decree, Li Yunyi's face sank completely, and Zhuge Jian Lu Guanhou Yunfei and the others breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, but their faces were still ugly and a little indignant.

Go to Da Zhou to explain? Isn't this a sheep in the mouth of a tiger? This is obviously sent to be a scapegoat, and the holy decree actually says that it is a messenger?

Xiong Jun and King Ju Ning Wuhou's faces were even more ugly, King Ju was directly angry, he stood up and sneered a few times and said: "We were born and died for Nan Chu, but in exchange for such an ending? ”

"Whew!"

The body of a grandmaster behind Feng Wuchen flashed, and he instantly arrived behind King Ju, and then reached out and slapped King Ju on the back of the head, forcibly knocking King Ju unconscious. The other two Grandmasters looked at Xiong Jun and Ning Wuhou with fierce eyes, and it was obvious that if the two of them made any moves, they would immediately take action.

Xiong Jun didn't carry the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Knife on his back, but his fists were clenched tightly. His gaze was on Li Yunyi, and Ning Wuhou's gaze was on Ning Yuan. If Li Yunyi gave an order, Xiong Jun would definitely not have any hesitation, even if it was Feng Wuchen, he would fight to the death.

Jiang Xiaocian was carrying a sword in his hand, and the iron hammer in Gonggong Fu's sleeve was also there, and both of them quietly clenched their weapons and looked at Li Yunyi. If Li Yunyi gave the order, they would also not have too many doubts and would shoot directly.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became depressed, and the eyes of Zhuge Jian Yunfei and the others in the back all turned to Li Yunyi, attracting the attention of the others. Feng Wuchen and the prince of Great Zhou, as well as Uncle Wang of Ning Yuan Zhuge Jian, all looked at Li Yunyi, making him the focus of the audience.

Li Yunyi didn't speak, he lowered his brows, and put his hands in his sleeves, because he didn't speak, the scene became quiet and weird, and the atmosphere became even more depressing.

"Let's give an edict!"

In the end, Li Yunyi sighed slightly: "General Xiong, Marquis Ning Wu, you are just going to Great Zhou as an envoy. Presumably, Da Zhou's side will not embarrass you, let alone harm your lives. If they dare to do something out of the ordinary, this army division will not agree, and I think the 300,000 Tiger Roaring Army will not agree either. You said, isn't this the truth, the national teacher, the two princes of Da Zhou. ”

Feng Wuchen was still expressionless, he was silent for a moment and said: "What Yi Junshi said makes sense, and I think it should be the same on the side of Da Zhou." ”

The Prince of Great Zhou sneered a few times in his heart, the group of generals of Nanchu is really dead, he knows that these three people went to the Holy Capital of Great Zhou, and the final outcome will be very miserable. Now they don't dare to come forward to protest, and when these three people are brought to the Holy Capital, what else can they do?

Prince Da Zhou smiled and said, "Master Yi, everyone, this king has an agreement with His Majesty the Emperor of your country, don't worry." ”

Li Yunyi's eyes became sharp, staring at Feng Wuchen and Prince Da Zhou, and said, "Okay, since the two adults have said so, we should obey the edict." If...... If things are different from what the two of you said, don't blame us for what we do later!"
