(As a friendly reminder, the content of this chapter may seem a little abrupt, so let's just read it as a standalone story, but don't worry, all the stories will be strung together in the end)

Nango.

After the unpleasant banquet, the courtiers returned to their mansions unwillingly, and they could only be impotent and furious about this result, because at this time, they could only get a reprimand for Xiao Guang, and in the southern country, Xiao Guang's order was supreme, and no one could make him retract the decree issued.

When these courtiers returned home not long after, they were unexpectedly invited by Xiao Huan, the prince from the southern country, most of the courtiers thought that it was not a good choice to go to Xiao Huan at this time, and when Xiao Guang learned about it, he would only feel that they were thieves and would not die. This is to persuade the prince to succeed to the throne early? Even if they don't do anything, it is estimated that the end will not be much better, but there are still some courtiers who accepted Xiao Huan's invitation, and the reason why these people are not worried about being suspected by Xiao Guang is because they were originally from Xiao Huan's faction, and when Xiao Guang asks, they will just fool around on the grounds of visiting the prince.

Although Xiao Huan is the prince of the southern kingdom, he does not have much real power in his hands, after all, who called him an extremely centralized father, Xiao Huan has been forbidden by Xiao Guang to participate in court politics since he was established as the prince, in Xiao Guang's opinion, he himself is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and he alone is enough for the affairs of the court. Because there is nothing to do, Xiao Huan's life is naturally extremely nourishing, when he has nothing to do, he will ask a few people to drink and chant poetry or go out of the city to hunt, whenever a courtier is dissatisfied with Xiao Guang, he will come to Xiao Huan to relax and relax, and most of the officials in the court have dealings with Xiao Huan in private.

As the lord of the Southern Palace, Xiao Guang also pretended to be blind to Xiao Huan's behavior, after all, Xiao Huan is also his own son, and this southern country will also be inherited by him in the future. The close relationship between the prince and his subordinates may be a taboo for others, but for Xiao Guang, he is not worried, because let alone the palace, even the guards in Xiao Huan's palace are all his people, even if the palace army rebels, Xiao Guang still has the 80,000 forbidden troops in the southern imperial city in his hands, and as long as he orders the four major battalions outside the southern imperial city, a total of 200,000 troops, they will immediately enter the palace Qinwang.

There is a tall and magnificent ancient castle located on the riverside, according to historical records, this castle was built by the fifth generation of Wu Guojun, it has a history of 700 years, and later monarchs have also renovated this ancient ruin. At the beginning, the reason why the king of Wu built this castle was to prevent the people of Xu in the north, Xu was one of the most powerful naval wars on the eastern coast at that time, and whenever Xu was short of materials, they would go down the river to the capital of Wu.

The completion of this castle allowed Wu to give early warning and effectively block the fleet of Xu, so that Wu completely got rid of Xu's direct threat to the national capital. In the seven hundred years after its completion, it has been the most important barrier in the capital of Wu, and after the Great Liang destroyed the Wu Kingdom and pacified the world, the castle lost its value and became a historical site, and its current owner is Xiao Huan, the son of the Southern Imperial Palace.

Xu Guogong Xu Shicheng stood by the window of the castle and looked at the river, he finally knew why his ancestors were broken here, everything on the river was unobstructed in the inside of the castle, there were also a hundred large chains thicker than the waist to block the passage of the river, as long as there was a little wolf smoke in the castle, all the iron chains would be raised, Xu Guo's fleet was too fast due to the downstream, and the whole ship would be cut a huge hole at the moment of hitting the chain, and it would not be long before the ship sank into the river. But now that this natural danger has been abandoned, Xu Shicheng can't help but have a dangerous thought, if there is a fleet now flowing down the river from the upstream, will it be able to successfully conquer Nanyu.......

"Are we really going to cut our own army? It's really unwilling. The loud voice of Dou Zheng, the Duke of Yueguo, focused everyone's eyes on him, and the dozen or so nobles present were sitting around a round table at the moment, and there were only a little residues of roast suckling pig and cod on the table, and they were full of appetite at the previous banquet.

"Listen to you, you're trying to disobey that man's orders?" Ma Jian of Shuguo Company looked at Dou Zheng with interest, it was impossible to say that he didn't have this idea in his heart, and now when he heard Dou Zheng, who was also the Duke of the Kingdom, say this, he instantly came to his senses.

"Fuck the order! Have we paid less in taxes over the years? I really don't know which tendon he has twitched, but he would agree to this bullshit suggestion from that guy in Hobeyo. Dou Zheng, who had left the palace, no longer suppressed the anger in his heart at this moment, and directly said such disrespectful words in public.

"Dou Zheng, be cautious." Xu Shicheng heard Dou Zheng say this kind of wild words and hurriedly reminded, "Don't forget that the king still has an army of nearly 300,000 in his hands, I dare to say that if anyone dares to disobey the king's orders, the king will definitely send his troops to tell that person what is called the anger of the lord of the Southern Emperor." ”

After hearing Xu Shicheng's words, Dou Zheng sneered disdainfully, and said in a tough tone, "He has soldiers, I also have them, and if he really does it, I will also let him know how powerful my Nanyue son is." ”

"Shut up, when are you going to get rid of your brain-less problem?" Sima Jian has always looked down on this idiot, for their Sima family, those people in Nanyue are just barbarians, otherwise they would not have elected such a fool to be the lord of Nanyue, "How long do you think you can last under the hands of the three kings of Yunnan, Han, and Shu?" "If there is only 300,000 troops in the south, the southern countries can already take advantage of the Northern Expedition of the Great Liang to raise troops and restore the country, the reason why they dare not make trouble is because of the containment of the other three kings of the Great Liang in the south, the two kings of Yunnan and Shu are located in the southwest of the Great Liang, the king of Han lives in the north of the southern country, and Xiao Guang's army is located in the east of the southern country.

Dou Zheng also reacted when Sima Jian said this, but the reality of the situation made him feel even more irritable, "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, do we really have to listen to the words of that courtier and faint king?" Look at what good things he's done since he came to the South? It was because of his arrival that we had less land and less taxes, and he wanted to take away from us what belonged to us, and he wanted to divide the wealth that was taken from us among the untouchables, and he betrayed us, and he forgot who made him secure that position? It's us! It's us, the aristocrats! ”

"Shut up!" Xiao Huan knew it was time to stop this madman, and he couldn't let him talk any more.

But Dou Zheng couldn't listen to any words at the moment, and continued to roar loudly, "And I think that person not only betrayed us, but he also betrayed the people of the southern country!" If he hadn't recalled General Wei back then, maybe those demons would have been wiped out by our army a long time ago, where would there be the Dian Rebellion later? Maybe Wei He planned with him at the beginning, just to take the land of Yunnan for himself, and it was not impossible for him to make such a move with his greed. ”

"Dou Zheng, you shouldn't question General Wei so much, he has made so many contributions to this country, and he has been proving his loyalty to this country and the people for so many years. He would never do such a thing. "Wei He has always been Xu Shicheng's idol, in Xu Shicheng's mind, Wei He is the most perfect soldier in the world, he does not allow Dou Zheng to bite like a mad dog, "Even the king's order will not make him feel afraid, I believe that the reason why he did so must have been bewitched by others, especially when that person is the king......"
