It must be a rare treasure that can be displayed in public by Yin Xiang, and the princes are full of smiles, guessing everything, but Yin Xiang always shook his head, indicating that they were not right.

In the end, Yin Yuan said with a smile: "Xiangmei, don't sell Guanzi anymore, let's all open our eyes!"

"Okay! Since Brother Wang has spoken, let's take a look!" As he spoke, Yin Xiang shook his head to the personal guard on the side.

The guard stepped forward and slowly removed the lid of the brocade box.

The moment the lid of the box was removed, the four walls of the brocade box were all scattered, and then the brocade box was filled with no rare treasures, but a pale and bloodless human head.

Seeing that the box contained a severed head, everyone present was shocked, especially the princes, whose bodies were shocked, and several people screamed.

Yin Yuan jumped up even more, his eyes widened, he looked at Yin Xiang without blinking, and asked in surprise, "Sister Xiang, what does this mean?"

Yin Xiang smiled slightly, looked down at the broken head on the table, and said quietly: "This is the head of the chaotic party Hong Yuetian, this thief is bold and reckless, he returned to the capital with his troops privately, colluded with the big brother to disrupt the court, his people are hateful, his heart can be punished, and the princes have contributed to the battle of quelling Hong Yuetian, and the palace naturally wants to let the marquis see the results of this counterinsurgency." As she spoke, she squinted, glanced at Yin Yuan, and asked with a smile, "What does the second brother think Sister Wang means?"

Yin Yuan first looked at Yin Xiang, then at the severed head on the table, was silent for a while, he laughed dryly, and slowly sat back again. The faces of the princes present became more and more ugly one by one, and before they knew it, they were already sweating.

Hong Yuetian's crime is valid on the head of any of them, today, Yin Xiang can cause Hong Yuetian to die with such a crime, then tomorrow. She can also get rid of herself with the same crime, and it is absolutely impossible to say that the princes are not afraid in their hearts.

At this time, Yin Yi trembled and bowed, and arched his hand and said, "Your Royal Highness the princess, the old minister...... The old minister plans to lead the army back to Changshan in the near future......"

He wasn't done yet. Yin Xiang had already looked up and smiled, waved his hand and said, "Uncle Wang, what's the hurry, since they have all come to Zhaoyang, let's stay longer!"

Changshan Marquis Yinyi and Yin Xiang belong to the same clan, in terms of seniority, he is indeed a generation higher than Yin Xiang, and the latter is not wrong to call him Uncle Wang.

It's just that Yin Yi's whole heart shrank into a ball when she called her, and the beads of sweat fell down one by one, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Yin Xiang withdrew her gaze. The conversation changed suddenly, and he said: "Recently, it has been an eventful time in our country, with the Jin Kingdom in the north, the Youren rebellion in the west, and frequent floods in the south. Just yesterday, the head of Xiuyang County, Gao Yu, sent an urgent letter to the imperial court, and Xiuyang County has been raining heavily for several days. The Tianjiang River has flooded and has now affected the entire territory of Xiuyang County. Please ask the imperial court to allocate money and food for disaster relief. ”

The princes didn't understand why Yin Xiang suddenly talked about the disaster in Xiuyang County, and the monk of Zhanger was puzzled.

Yin Yuan's eyes rolled, and he answered: "Sister Xiang, but now the treasury is empty, not enough for disaster relief?"

After listening to his words, the princes suddenly realized. It turned out that Yin Xiang was knocking on his own bamboo pole, but then again, as long as he could save his head, what did he get if he lost some money and food? Changshan Hou Yinyi was the first to stand up and said: "Your Royal Highness the princess doesn't have to worry, since it is the imperial court that is in trouble. We should be here to help. After a slight pause, he immediately said again: "Weichen is willing to give five ...... 800,000 taels of silver to help the victims of Xiuyang County!"

As soon as he finished speaking, some princes stood up one after another to express their opinions, and people scrambled one by one, and the smallest number was 500,000 taels.

Yin Xiang laughed and said: "Thank you, this palace first thank you for your help, however, the money and food for the relief of the affected people, the imperial court can still afford it, the reason why the palace is here to raise this matter is that the disaster relief alone is a symptom but not a cure, and the south of our country floods every rainy season, and suffers disasters every year, and disaster relief every year, which consumes too much money and national strength of our country." ”

"Her Royal Highness the princess means ......"

"Repair the canal!" Yin Xiang Zhengse said: "Build a big canal between the Tianjiang River and the Shangjiang River to lead the water of the Tianjiang River to the Shangjiang River, so as to not only solve the concern that the Tianjiang River is prone to flooding, but also solve the hidden worry that the Shangjiang River is drying up day by day, which is for the benefit of the people of the two places, and it is also the last wish of the former king in the future!"

When the princes heard this, they all gasped, the Tianjiang and Shangjiang rivers are the two largest water systems in the south of the Yan country, as Yin Xiang said, the land where the Tianjiang River flows through is rainy, flooding is a common thing, and the Shangjiang River is gradually drying up, and many tributaries have disappeared.

If a large canal can be dug between the Tianjiang River and the Shangjiang River, of course, it is good, and the excess water of the Tianjiang River can be diverted to the Shangjiang River, where the water source is insufficient, but the distance between the Tianjiang River and the Shangjiang River is more than thousands of miles, and to connect these two rivers, it must be a big project, and how much manpower and financial resources must be consumed, which cannot be solved by millions or tens of millions of taels of silver.

Even when Yin Ji was alive, he only dared to think about it, at best, he took this idea to the court and grinded his teeth with the ministers, but he didn't dare to really implement it.

The princes all thought that this matter was too unreliable, but no one dared to stand up to express their opposition or questioning, they themselves could not be guaranteed, and how could they dare to openly sing against Yin Xiang.

Seeing that the princes were all hanging their heads and silent, Yin Xiang slowly frowned and asked, "Why, don't all the marquis approve of digging the Tianshang Great Canal?

Hearing her ask, everyone's bodies trembled, and they hurriedly raised their heads and said, "No, no, no, Her Royal Highness the princess has misunderstood, this is a great thing for the benefit of the people in the south of our country, how can the ministers oppose it!"

Yin Xiang's face finally showed a smile and said, "So, all the marquis have supported the decision of this palace?"

"Exactly!"

"But just verbal support is not enough!" Yin Xiang said slowly.

Knowing what she meant, Yin Yi hated, gritted his teeth, and arched his hand and said: "In order to help Her Royal Highness the princess fulfill the last wish of the first king, the old minister ...... The old minister is willing to donate...... Three million taels!"

The three million taels in the back were squeezed out of between his teeth, and his face turned purple, and he had already donated it to the outside world.

I heard him say that he would donate three million taels. The other princes are secretly scolding their mothers in their hearts, you shouted three million taels at once, and what should you say?

The princes hardened their heads, and shouted an astronomical number that even they themselves could hardly accept.

Looking at the princes who were like being cut meat, Yin Xiang smiled secretly in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face at all. She shook her head helplessly and said, "Now that the treasury is sufficient, what is lacking is not silver!"

"That'...... But lack of food?"

"Haha!" Yin Xiang laughed and said, "The land of my Yan country is fertile, when has there ever been a shortage of food?"

"I don't know...... What is the imperial court lacking now?"

"People!" Yin Xiang's eyes narrowed, and he said faintly: "What our country lacks most now is labor! As long as there is abundant labor, it will be easy to dig the Tianshang Canal." All of you should know that our country is now suffering from internal and external troubles, and it is really impossible to allocate so much labor to dig the Tianshang Canal. The idea of this palace is that the family army of the marquis can be temporarily lent to the imperial court, and after the imperial court completes the Tianshang canal, the family army will be returned to the marquis, I don't know, what do you think?"

After Yin Xiang finished speaking, the faces of the princes and even Yin Yuan changed greatly.

It turned out that this was the purpose of Yin Xiang's banquet. She didn't want to kill the princes, nor did she want to extort a sum of money and food from the princes. It's about taking away the military power in the hands of the princes, and it's rare that she even found such a high-sounding reason.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, this ...... This ......" Yin Yi instinctively stood up, looked at Yin Xiang, and didn't know what to say.

The family army is their lifeblood. It is the capital that each of their families has accumulated little by little over decades or even hundreds of years, and now Yin Xiang Lion opened his mouth and asked them to contribute all the family army and pull them to the Tianjiang and Shangjiang areas to serve as laborers and dig some bullshit Tianshang canal. How can they accept it?

Looking at Yin Yi, who was standing there with an uncertain face, and then at the other princes who had similar expressions to him, Yin Xiang smiled and didn't speak, just picked up a chopstick, and gently tapped Hong Yuetian's severed head on the table as if he had ulterior motives and seemed to be casual.

None of Yin Yuan and the princes thought that Yin Xiang would be so vicious, and the banquet was fake, and it was true that he would seize military power. Even the generals on the opposite side were secretly grinning, they didn't know anything about this matter in advance, and Yin Xiang didn't reveal the slightest rumor to them, they all felt strange, how could a good princess think of banqueting the princes, it turned out to be to seize military power.

The first to break the silence was Yin Xiang.

Seeing that everyone below didn't speak, Yin Xiang was still shaking his chopsticks, knocking on the severed head in front of him for a while, and said slowly: "Hong Yuetian is really a stupid man, living to his age, it is already a beautiful thing to be able to enjoy all the glory and wealth, to take care of his life, and to have children and grandchildren, but he just wants to chase fame and fortune, and now he has lost his life, even if he gets great fame and fortune, what can he do?

Her words, like knives, stuck in the hearts of every prince present.

Everyone knew that Yin Xiang's words were meant for herself, and the bodies of people sitting on the mat shook involuntarily.

Yin Yi sighed in his heart, sniffed hard, then stood up with red circles, walked around the table, walked to Yin Xiang, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said: "Since it is Her Royal Highness the princess who deigns to beg, the old minister does not dare to disobey, the old minister ...... The old minister is willing to put the ...... under his command The 80,000 soldiers under his command were dedicated to the imperial court and returned to the imperial court...... "In the end, the old man couldn't say any more, and fell to the ground, whimpering and choking in a low voice.

If it is said that asking them to give their family wealth is tantamount to cutting meat, then letting them hand over their military power is like digging out their hearts and livers.

When Yin Xiang heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up, the chopsticks in her hand fell out of her hand, and she subconsciously owed forward, her eyes looked directly at Yin Yi who was lying on the ground, and after a long time, she returned to normal, her body slowly leaned back, and she changed back to sitting with her chest upright.

With Yin Yi taking the lead, another Xiao clan clan, Wuguan Hou Yin Yong, walked to Yin Yi's side, also knelt down, and said in a trembling voice: "Weichen...... I am also willing to hand over the 60,000 soldiers under my command to the imperial court......"

For the princes, it is true that the army in their hands is their lifeline, but after all, it is not their life, and when their lives are at stake, if they have to choose between them, they can only choose to save their lives. Give up the military power in your hands.

As Yin Yi and Yin Yong stood up to express their positions, the other princes also left the table one after another, expressing their willingness to accept Yin Xiang's orders and hand over their military power.

Watching the princes compromise with Yin Xiang one after another, Yin Yuan on the side was completely dumbfounded, he never dreamed that this banquet would evolve into such a result. The princes can become the most important bargaining chips in his hands. It's all because of the family army that the princes control, and now that the princes have handed over all their military power to the imperial court, the princes have become useless, and they are not even as good as the ministers in the court.

He sat there dumbfounded, unable to recover for a long time.

This is the terrible thing about Yin Xiang, killing people without seeing blood, just talking and laughing, and then took the most important chip in Yin Yuan's hand.

Seeing a group of princes kneeling down below, Yin Xiang got up with a smile. bypassed the table, came to the princes, helped everyone up one by one, and said movingly: "You marquis is worthy of being the pillars of my Great Yan, when my Yan country is in danger, so much help, this palace is really grateful, all of you marquis also please accept this palace!" Yin Xiang took two steps back and arched her hand. Respectfully bow to the princes.

She is now grateful to the princes in her heart, if they refuse to hand over the military power, Yin Xiang has no choice but to kill, and when it comes to that point, Yan Guo doesn't know how much blood will be shed. What kind of chaos will it become, and when he sits on the throne, he will definitely be labeled as a tyrant and a demon girl.

But now, the princes took the initiative to hand over their military power, and this problem that had plagued the Yan Kingdom for hundreds of years was finally solved. Not only will he not be scolded as a tyrant, but he will also become a holy monarch who will be praised by future generations.

Seeing Yin Xiang saluting him, the princes were all startled, and everyone who had just stood up knelt back on the ground one after another, exclaiming: "Her Royal Highness the princess killed Weichen!"

Yin Xiang straightened up, stretched out her hand with a smile, and said with a smile: "Please also ask the marquis to hand over the talisman!" She used the first soldier and the first soldier and then the soldier together, and her mind was meticulous and weird, which was difficult to understand.

The princes looked at each other, and after a long while, the people reached into their arms and carefully took out their talismans.

Each of them had a very precious talisman, like a treasure, some were wrapped in red silk, some were wrapped in yellow silk, and the princes all opened the silk wrapped in the talisman with trembling fingers, held it in both hands, and handed it to Yin Xiang tremblingly.

Most of the soldiers' talismans are made of bronze, and they are carved with various fierce beasts and auspicious beasts, and they are also branded with the coats of arms of various families.

Twelve princes, twelve soldiers, Yin Xiang couldn't catch it if she wanted to, she turned her head sideways and glanced at the personal guards on the left and right.

The guards understood, and one by one they picked up the trays that had been prepared and stepped forward, and put the talismans in the hands of the princes on the trays one by one.

With these talismans, it is equivalent to having the command of the family army, Yin Xiang looked around at the talismans placed on the tray, nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and walked back to his seat, and said in a loud voice: "Since you have to serve as labor, ordnance and armament are useless, and they should be kept in the treasury." As she spoke, she looked at the generals on the other side and said, "Zhang Situ listens to the order!"

"The end will be!" Zhang Situ's body was shocked, and he hurriedly stepped out of the queue and intervened to give a salute.

Yin Xiang took out two talismans from the tray and said in a deep voice: "General Zhang, you lead your troops and horses to immediately go to the garrison of the two armies of Changshan Hou and Wuguan Hou, take over the ordnance and armament of the two armies, and take care of the sleeping and food of the brothers of the two armies, understand?"

"Yes! The last general understands!" Taking over ordnance and armaments, to put it bluntly, is disarming, taking care of the dormitory and food, and to put it bluntly, it is house arrest, Zhang Situ of course understood what Yin Xiang meant, and he asked uncertainly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, now?"

"Yes, right now, go right away!" Yin Xiang said categorically.

"The last general obeys!" Zhang Situ stepped forward, took the two talismans handed to him by Yin Xiang, turned around and walked out quickly.

"Bu Ying listens to the order!" Yin Xiang's gaze turned and looked at Bu Ying again.

"The end will be!" Bu Ying strode out of her skirt.

Yin Xiang picked up the three talismans again, and said: "General Buying, your department will receive the soldiers and horses of the Marquis of Chishan, the Marquis of Qingyun, and the Marquis of Dongyuan, just like General Zhang, you must take a clear inventory of the ordnance and armament of the three armies, and properly place the brothers of the three armies.

"Don't worry, princess, the last general will go all out!" Bu Ying took the three talismans handed to him by Yin Xiang and strode out of the hall.

Then, Yin Xiang successively ordered Yang Zhao, Lu You, and the three generals of Laissez-faire, and handed over the remaining soldiers to the three of them.

With such a skill, such a resolute and resolute action, and such a shrewd calculation, I am afraid that even a man may not be able to compare with Yin Xiang.

Handled the matter of the family army properly, Yin Xiang was also relieved, like a boulder pressed on his heart was removed, the whole person looked much more relaxed, and the smile on his face was no longer hypocritical, but from the heart, and it looked very bright.

The princes of the Yan Kingdom are far more than them, and the family armies in various places together are far more than hundreds of thousands, otherwise, the family army will not be able to become a big problem for the Yan Kingdom, and it will become a heart disease of the monarchs of the past dynasties, however, Hong Yuetian and the twelve princes of the Twelve Roads can definitely be regarded as the leaders of all the princes of the Yan Kingdom, and if they cut off the military power in their hands, the other small princes would not have to worry, and they could only be slaughtered by the imperial court.

The problems that the previous kings of the Liedai did not solve were solved in the hands of Yin Xiang, and she would naturally be proud and complacent, which was human nature.

Yin Xiang waved his hand to the princes again and again, and greeted with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, please sit down, today, this palace is going to get drunk with you!"

She is now complacent, but the mood of the princes can only be described as dead ashes, where can people still drink, one by one is like frosted eggplants, all wilted. (To be continued......)
