Kyoto, the highest place in the imperial palace and imperial city, Li Yao was wearing a golden dragon robe, and the majesty on his body was getting heavier and heavier, and now there was a hint of pride between his eyebrows.

After winning over Lin Shufan and Fang Wukui, all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty surrendered, and he is now living a very nourishing life.

Finally enjoyed the feeling of the lord of the Dayu Dynasty.

Behind Li Yao, a rather heroic face, plump and full figure, slender thighs, wearing a purple long skirt, showing the perfection of the figure.

The former eldest princess of the Dayu Dynasty, Li Mujun!

It's just that the ambitious eyes at that time have now been transformed into low.

Li Mujun's eyes flickered, looking at the eternal imperial city below, but his heart showed a faint sadness.

The Imperial City is still there, but the people have changed!

When she was still in the fiefdom, she wanted to return to Kyoto all the time, to recall the prosperity of Kyoto, to recall the power of Kyoto, and to recall everything in Kyoto......

She's going to have to come back to Kyoto!

However, when she stood at the highest point of the imperial city, her mood became extremely melancholy and faintly lonely.

Although he has been gone for less than a year, he has already been different.

The royal brother who once stood up to the sky has passed away, and now the four princes who he looked down on the most at the beginning have become the lord of the Dayu Dynasty.

The former Three Kings have fulfilled their promises outside of Zhongzhou.

And what are you going back to Kyoto for?

"Auntie, do you think King Xuan will win against Chu Junxiong?"

Li Yao kept looking in the direction of Qingzhou and did not look back.

His attitude towards King Xuan at the moment is very complicated, or his attitude towards the four kings of the war in various states is very complicated.

He wanted the other four kings to win, because they had won, and the states were still under royal control.

But I'm afraid that they are too strong, strong enough to threaten him.

"King Xuan, he won't lose, but Chu Junxiong is even more unlikely to lose." Li Mujun said something that was difficult to understand.

Li Yao turned his head and glanced at Li Mujun,

I'm telling you this kind of nonsense?

Li Mujun didn't care about Li Yao's eyes, recalling the figure of King Xuan, and his voice had an inexplicable tone.

"King Xuan is ruthless, he can do whatever it takes to achieve his ends."

"Ruthless?" Li Yao was very skeptical of Li Mujun's opinion.

"If he is really ruthless, why not choose other states, but Danzhou, and face the town of the country?"

"He's ruthless to everyone, but he's loyal to royalty!" Li Mujun's tone did not change.

"Isn't loyalty to the royal family as it should be!" Li Yao never doubted the loyalty of the major princes to the royal family.

Li Mujun's mouth moved, and finally fell silent.

After a moment of silence......

Li Mujun's faint voice sounded: "King Xuan, he will do whatever it takes to defeat the Zhenguo Mansion, even if it is at the expense of everyone." ”

Li Yao glanced at Li Mujun again, but there was a sigh in his heart.

When I was still a prince, how did I think my aunt was very resourceful and strategic?

In other words, did the fifth brother also see something at that time, so he pushed his aunt to himself

Li Yao vaguely remembered that when Chu Junyan entered Beijing, his aunt first looked for the fifth brother, and then the fifth brother pushed her to himself.

When the three royal brothers were in Kyoto, they teased their aunt even more.

Now, though, it's my turn to tease my aunt.

Li Yao's eyes lit up slightly, remembering Li Heng's stunned expression when Li Mujun returned to Kyoto.

Li Mujun looked at Li Yao with her back to her in front of her, and for some reason, she suddenly felt a wonderful and familiar taste.

At this moment, a figure quickly approached them.

"Meet Your Majesty!"

is now the head of the palace, the master of the expert factory, and Li Yao's most trusted Liu Jin.

"What's the matter with Liu Jin?"

Li Yao's face was very calm when he saw Liu Jin coming in a hurry, and now he was more and more in a state of mind that was not surprised and calm.

"Your Majesty, the major affiliated dynasties of the Dayu Dynasty have sent envoys to congratulate Your Majesty on his accession to the throne, and the missions are now outside the borders of the states!"

As the strongest dynasty, the Dayu Dynasty has a vast border area, and naturally there are dynasties that submit to the Dayu Dynasty.

Normally, the new emperor of the Dayu Dynasty ascended the throne, and they naturally had to contribute gifts to the new emperor.

But now that the states of the Dayu Dynasty are in turmoil, they actually sent an embassy in together, and they didn't even ask for instructions?

Hehe!

What do they want to do?

………………

"When the vicious dog sees that the owner is sick, he thinks they are okay?"

On the second day, the court meeting, when Li Yao announced the matter, all the officials of the court suddenly gave their own opinions.

The military attachés who usually rarely spoke to the court suddenly exploded.

Sending a joint mission, no one understands.

"Don't insult dogs, dogs have been raised for a few years, and they know how to wag their tails, they are a pack of white-eyed wolves!"

"Wolves? They're wolves, too? The voice was full of disdain for them.

"If you want me to say, don't you pay tribute, don't you need them to come, we will send an army to get it!"

"It's not honest if you don't beat the vicious dog!"

"Hit!"

"They must be intimidated!"

"When necessary, killing is the only means of deterrence!"

The civil officials on the other side didn't feel that the military attaché was rude at the moment, and they also scolded with flushed faces.

The ministers in the first few rows, although they did not speak one by one, showed the unpeace in their hearts with a dark look on their faces.

Li Yao rhythmically knocked on the dragon chair, watching the discussion of the officials below, and when he heard the news yesterday, he was also angry.

The envoys had already come to the border before they asked him for instructions, what did this mean by forcible persecution?

Give them face?

"Do you think Aiqing will let them in?"

Li Yao's gaze swept over the ministers who had not spoken in the first few rows, although he had already made a decision, he still had to listen to their opinions.

Li Yao's voice sounded, and the officials in the main hall who were still discussing with red ears stopped one by one and quietly looked at the ministers in front of them.

Below, an old minister stood up, straightened his stiff waist, and said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, the arrival of all the missions at the same time is nothing more than to inquire about the situation of our Dayu Dynasty and want to take the opportunity to reduce the number of tributes paid each year."

Many officials nodded their heads.

"Hehe, the gifts of those dynasties don't add up to as much as those of a state, I really take myself seriously!"

"Don't just give the gift of ants!"

"No, there is no less to pay tribute, this is not just a matter of tribute, it is related to the majesty of our Dayu Dynasty!"

"A little less this year, isn't it going to be less next year! Another year, next time will it not be a tribute! ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks let them in, see what they want to do, what means and courage can make us take a step back!"

"I'd like to see why they have the audacity!"

"That's right, what if you let them in!"

"If you don't let the envoy in, the dynasties will think that our Dayu Dynasty is afraid."

As one of the old ministers spoke, the other officials also spoke.

If even the envoys didn't dare to let them in, wouldn't these dynasties feel that the Dayu Dynasty was now weak.

But there is support and there is opposition.

I saw another minister's face very solemn, and he took a step forward and said:

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this time the envoys of various dynasties have arrived, there should be shadows of other dynasties in it.

In addition to exploring our civil strife, they entered the Dayu Dynasty to investigate the situation of our civil strife, and it is likely that they will also suppress the majesty of our Dayu Dynasty and make our Dayu Dynasty lose face in front of the dynasties.

Your Majesty needs to think twice. ”

Another old minister worried:

"Your Majesty, now that the states of the dynasty are in a critical period, the loss of the dynasty is small, if you lose face, the awe of the surrounding dynasties will disappear, and it is easy to give birth to the heart of injustice."

Many courtiers nodded one after another, sent envoys to come, wanted to reduce tribute, and wanted to lose the face of the Yu Dynasty, which was nothing more than a competition.

And now most of the heavenly pride in Kyoto has been enveloped by the four kings, and if there are people in the mission who are pretending to be other dynasties, if they make a mistake, they may really be defeated.

Some of them were silent when they heard their worries.

In these missions, there may not be people sent by the other two imperial dynasties secretly, and if they come to Kyoto to make trouble, it is not a good thing.

If they don't check for a while, let them make a big deal and lose the face of the Dayu Dynasty, the states will be in chaos, and the entire court will really lose face, and what majesty will there be.

"It's a drag."

"The minister suggested that it be delayed!"

Or let these missions disappear in the midst of the "chaos of war"! ”

Some officials suggested.

"Lin Xiang, what do you think?"

On the dragon chair, Li Yao's eyes looked at Lin Shufan.

In the gaze of everyone, Lin Shufan took a step and said:

"The minister thinks that let them come to Kyoto."

"Since they choose to come at this time, there should be the instigation of the other two great dynasties, and what method we use to avoid it will only make these dynasties feel that our dynasty has become weaker, and their ambitions will grow, and these dynasties will be used by the other two dynasties to become a tool for them to attack and test us.

Only if we defeat their plot with dignity will these dynasties be afraid, will they be afraid! ”

Li Yao's eyes were cold, "The two great dynasties recovered so quickly?" ”

Lin Shufan shook his head: "The previous emperor defeated the two major dynasties, and the main force of their court suffered heavy losses, and the situation in their dynasty at that time was even more chaotic than our current situation, and it was not so easy.

They are now mainly borrowing the surrounding dynasties to make our Dayu Dynasty more chaotic and prepare for future attacks.

The two great dynasties are dead, and the heart of the Yu dynasty is not dead, and Your Majesty must not be guarded against! ”

"At the beginning, the two great dynasties tried their best to attack our dynasty, but they were still defeated by our dynasty, how can we be afraid of them, we will take as many as we come!"

Another important minister stepped out, and Jiang Jian, the secretary of the military department.

"However, they also gave us a wake-up call, why don't we go back!" The cold in Lu Xun's eyes was full of the Ministry of Rites.

Li Yao's eyes narrowed, remembering that before Emperor Yu returned to heaven, he explained to him about the shadows of the two major dynasties, and it was time to use it.

"Okay, then I'm waiting for the arrival of these dynasty missions in Kyoto!"

With Li Yao's final word, the court will disperse.

………………

In the imperial study, Li Yao, Lin Shufan, and Lu Xun continued to discuss the matter of dealing with the arrival of the imperial envoy.

"A total of fourteen dynastic missions have come."

"I don't believe it, they all dare to oppose the Dayu Dynasty!"

Li Yao was slightly domineering and waved his sleeves.

Lin Shufan and Lu Xun nodded, their minds had already analyzed it.

"The Wuyue Dynasty and the Nanhao Dynasty have always been loyal to us, and when they come, we can start from them to learn about the envoys of each dynasty." Lu Xun Road.

"But they didn't report to us in advance, so they should have thought about it." Li Mujun was also in the study.

She has been by Emperor Yu's side for a long time, and she also knows a little about Emperor Yu's methods to deal with the dynasty.

"But when you enter Kyoto, you can't help them." Lin Shufan stroked his beard confidently.

These dynasties all sent envoys, thinking that there was great power in numbers, but in fact, this is the best solution, with a little means, to make them suspicious of each other.

Lin Shufan knows very well that most of the minds of these dynasties are in a state of vacillation, and if they can benefit, they will naturally pounce on them and take a bite, but as long as they are afraid, they will naturally become extremely well-behaved.

For the arrival of these dynastic envoys, Lin Shufan didn't take it seriously at all, what he cared about was what could be brought behind this matter.

Lu Xun nodded, and continued to analyze for Li Yao: "The biggest hostility to our Dayu Dynasty is nothing more than the Southern Ming Dynasty and the Rihui Dynasty, if the two major dynasties send people into the mission, it is likely that they will be in these two dynasties, and if they are resolved, the other dynasties will not be worried." ”

Li Yao listened to Lu Xun and Lin Shufan settle the affairs of the dynasty envoy in a few words, and suddenly felt so relaxed.

But just now at the court meeting, why didn't they say it?

What if the officials below argue?

"Your Majesty, what happened just now will soon spread out, not only for the officials to argue, but also for the people to know, and the greater the impact of this matter." Lin Shufan saw Li Yao's expression and said with a smile.

Lu Xun also smiled: "Your Majesty has just ascended the throne and lacks prestige, this time there is just the opportunity for Your Majesty to intimidate the world!" ”

"These two old foxes!" Li Mujun really hates dealing with this kind of minister.

"The two Aiqing have a heart." Li Yao said movingly.

"Didn't Your Majesty always want to know the mind of King Chu, and this time we can also use this to test it." Lin Shufan's deep eyes showed a hint of essence.

"King Chu?"

"Fifth brother?"

Li Yao and Li Mujun were shocked, how could they get involved with Li Yuan again.

"Your Majesty, now the four kings can only be won over by the king of Chu, the three kings are in turmoil, and only Lingzhou, where the king of Chu is located, is stable, if Your Majesty uses the reason for the arrival of the dynasty's envoy to show him to return to Beijing, test and test his attitude."

"Once His Majesty promised King Chu the position of governor of Huanzhou, and the King of Chu asked His Majesty to postpone it, just to sit on Lingzhou and see King Ming fight against the two states and benefit behind his back."

Lin Shufan said a word, Lu Xun said a word, and said the plan against Li Yuan.

And Lin Shufan and Lu Xun have been tied to Li Yao's boat, so they naturally have to think about him.

"What if he doesn't come?" Li Yao asked.

"Your Majesty can directly declare the King of Chu as the governor of Huanzhou." Lin Shufan and Lu Xun said in unison.

Whether the king of Chu is strong or the king of Ming is strong, it is not what the imperial court wants to see.

Only by putting them in a state of equilibrium can the imperial court be reassured.

"If he comes, will you imprison him in Kyoto?" Li Mujun said.

"Naturally, it can't be!" Lu Xun looked at Li Mujun with a smile.

Even Liu Jin, who had been quiet, couldn't help but glance at Li Mujun, just now Lin Xiang's meaning was obvious, that is, to keep His Royal Highness and King Ming in balance.

His Royal Highness is gone, let King Ming keep his balance alone?
