Chapter 429: Coercion and Temptation, the Overall Situation is Finally Decided
Inside the big tent, the desk table was arranged into two opposite arcs.
There are three cases in the left arc, the Xue family's royal family is Zongzheng, and Xue Fenghua, the prince of Emperor Liang Xue Rui's grandfather's generation, sits in the middle, on one side is the head of the Yuan family as the secretary of the court to order Yuan Xiantao, and on the other side is the head of the Pei family when the privy envoy Pei Shisheng.
The four cases on the right side, the head of the Yelu family, Dingxi Wang Yelu Shi, the head of the Murong family, the head of the Murong family, Andong Wang Murong Hammer, the head of the Wanyan family, the head of the Wanyan family, Liang Pingbei Wang, Wanyan Da, and the head of the Yuwen family, Huwei General Yuwenyun, are lined up in turn.
Three up, four down, one article and one martial arts, clearly distinguished.
If it was the former head of the Yuwen family, loyal to Wang Yuwenyong, this room could really be said to be an old fox gathering.
It's a pity that Yu Wenyong died, and Yu Wenyun, who inherited his position, was a little inadequate on this occasion.
But it was precisely because of his lack of sight that he tore a hole in this gathering that should have been cloudy and foggy.
After sitting down for a long time, he finally couldn't help it, "King Dingxi, everyone has arrived, if you have anything to say today, just say it." β
At this time, how can you let the king of Dingxi call the shots!
Xue Fenghua, who represented the Xue family, said with a smile, "Today's discussion, Your Majesty asked me, an old man, to bring you a few words, listen to it." β
He took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, slowly unfolded it and read: "I have been able to ascend to the throne this time, and I am fortunate to have your support. The so-called great joy should be rewarded, I am not a stingy person, do not do ungrateful things, the reward is as follows: under the head of the military state, 80,000 households; five marquises, ten counts, and five assassins; and the official trade goods of the Southern Dynasties are fixed at two percent; The number of soldiers is 40,000"
Xue Fenghua read a series of rewards with enthusiasm, to be honest, even if everyone here is the top magnates in this world, he can't help but have some eyes shining when he hears these things.
The seven surnames ruled the Northern Liang, not simply occupying a few positions, but from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside, controlling the entire Northern Liang from the economy to the military to the politics.
Their clan land is spread throughout the Northern Liang;
Their protΓ©gΓ© allies, all in high positions;
Their industry has long penetrated into every aspect of this country, and the life, old age, sickness and death of every citizen.
And behind each of these times, almost all of them represent the interests of Tianliang.
Everyone knew that this was a bait thrown by His Majesty, but they still couldn't help but want to bite into it.
After all, this piece of meat is so big, whoever takes one more bite will be able to live better in the future.
Sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, not only Yuan Xiantao understands, but the rest of you also understand.
In their opinion, Wanyanda is now fighting hard, and perhaps there is also a sense of urgency that Wanyan's family has been hanging in the back of the car, and the gap between them and the rest is getting bigger and bigger.
Xue Fenghua looked at everyone's obvious shortness of breath, twisted his beard, and tried his best to hold back a smug smile, "These rewards are the sincerity shown by Your Majesty to follow the strategy of the seven surnames to share the world, please decide." β
After speaking, with the heart of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, he quietly waited for everyone to bite and pull, waiting for the re-end of the pattern of power and interests, and waiting for the further strengthening of the exclusive dignity of the throne.
Although Yu Wenyun is young and energetic, he has no experience in dialogue at this level, so although he is about to move, he has to endure his mind and wait for the situation to change.
Yuan Xiantao, Murong Hammer, Wanyanda, and Yelushi are all scheming and calculating, and they are not in a hurry at all.
Pei Shisheng was older than Yu Wenyun, and he was more than ten years younger than the rest of the old things, looking left and right, and also chose to be silent.
Seeing that the situation seemed to be stiffening, Xue Fenghua definitely couldn't allow it, so he took the initiative to open his mouth and tear a hole for the silence in the field.
"King Pingbei, you are usually in the north, and this time you have come from afar, why don't you say it first, how about it?"
"In my opinion, not so!"
A voice sounded slowly, and everyone followed the prestige, and the person who spoke out was not Wanyanda, the king of Pingbei, but Yelushi, the king of Dingxi, who personally handled the matter and contacted all parties!
οΌοΌοΌ
Xue Fenghua looked at this loyal and brave minister who protected His Majesty in the sky, and looked at this courtier who His Majesty is most trusted now, "King Dingdingxi, who are you?" β
With his questioning, everyone in the audience looked at him.
Doubt, incomprehension, contemplation, calm, and so on.
Yelushi stood up slowly, his expression calm, "My meaning is very clear, this proposal is not very good, not only is it not good to let the king of Pingbei choose first, but it is not good for us all to fight like a dog eats a dog." β
"Isn't that what you're suggesting?" Xue Fenghua was completely stunned, and under the huge shock, his mind was disordered for a while, and he actually asked such a stupid question.
Yelushi said lightly: "This time, the old man went to Lieyang Pass to meet and talk with the talents of the Southern Dynasty, and finally understood that my Liang is obviously strong in the bow and horse, and the number of people who control the strings is more than a million, far better than that of the Southern Dynasty. Because, the Southern Dynasty has the outline of the society, the monarch and the ministers, the family and the country, and in my Liang, the Son of Heaven, the strong soldiers and the strong horses, so when the national war is over, how can there be cohesion? β
Hearing these words, everyone's reactions were different, but they all endured it and didn't speak, quietly watching Yelushi's performance.
"What the old man means is that His Majesty has killed his father and ascended the throne, and the throne is not right, so it is better to abolish it, and set up King Jing as the emperor to correct the dynasty!"
He glanced at everyone, "After I finish speaking, who is for and who is against?" β
"Jerushi! Do you want to hear what you're talking about! β
The first to shoot the case was Xue Fenghua, the grand patriarch of the royal family, who calmed down from his previous stunned, his eyes widened angrily, and he looked at Yelushi viciously.
Then those who clearly expressed their opposition were Murong Hammer and Yu Wenyun.
As the two biggest beneficiaries of Xue Rui's ascension to the throne, it is impossible for them to agree to let Yelushi do such a thing.
"King Dingxi, if you want to abolish the establishment, I'm afraid that you have a misunderstanding of your own ability, right?"
"If you dare to act like this, you will be the mortal enemy of my Yuwen family!"
The two cruel words also injected confidence into the great sect Zheng Xue Fenghua, snorted coldly, and looked at Yelu Shi mockingly.
And the head of the Pei family, the privy envoy Pei Shisheng, looked at Yelushi with an ordinary face with great interest, because he thought that Yelushi was really a loyal minister of the country, but he didn't expect that he still had such thoughts in secret.
The old fox really knows how to act!
I just don't know what confidence this king of Dingxi has to dare to say such things and do such things.
Once it fails, the clan will not be wiped out, but death is a certainty.
And looking at the current situation, can the three who are clearly opposed, and one of them take themselves to watch from the wall?
He smiled, but the next moment, the smile froze on his face.
When he entered the big tent, he fell at the back, and the head of the Yuan family, who had been silent since he came in, Zhongshu Ling Yuan Xiantao said softly: "King Dingxi, after the abolition of the emperor, is it determined that it is another King of Jing?" β
Xue Fenghua, Murong Hammer, Yu Wenyun, Pei Shisheng and others all changed color, what does Zhongshu Ling mean? Does he still think this matter can be discussed?
Yelushi smiled: "Yes, His Royal Highness King Jing is familiar with literature and history, and is familiar with poetry and books, so he will be able to revive the dynasty and inherit the legacy of the first emperor Guangxing culture and education." β
After Yelushi finished speaking, Yuan Xiantao nodded slowly, "That old man supports King Dingxi." This court really can't go on killing like this. β
"Yuan Zhongshu! What are you? β
"Brother Yuan, think twice!"
"The surname Yuan, do you really want to test whether the long sword in General Ben's hand is sharp?"
Yu Wenyun snorted coldly, trying to threaten with the advantage of the armor.
But in an instant, a cold shout was heard in his ears, "My sword is not disadvantageous!" β
After Yan Da patted the case, he said in a deep voice: "The proposal of the king of Dingxi, this king deeply agrees, and is willing to drive the king of Dingxi!" β
Rumble!
Everyone in the tent seemed to have a thunderclap in their minds.
They finally realized what the king of Dingxi really relied on!
It was this titular enemy, Wanyanda, the king of Pingbei, and the 20,000 White Bear Army under his command!
Outside the city today, there are 30,000 crane control troops, 20,000 white bear troops, and 50,000 troops, which can already form an overwhelming force advantage over the city.
The most important thing is that now that the lives of several of them are in the hands of the other party, they really want to fight, and the thousand cowardly Xue Wei who came to protect are enough to kill?
What about your Murong Hammer's control of Kyoto Wei, and what about the Xue family's cowardice Xue Wei?
In this situation, at this moment, Yelushi, who has the support of Wanyanda, is the most decisive person in the entire Northern Liang.
And at this point, everyone completely understood that they had all fallen into the game of Yelushi.
Wan Yanda must have hooked up with Yelushi a long time ago, and his southward journey was just to build momentum for Yelushi, so that he could exchange for His Majesty's trust and successfully enter Beijing.
Today's meeting, the moment they walked out of the city gate, the result was already doomed.
Thinking of this, Pei Shisheng turned his head to look at Yuan Xiantao, with a bit of disbelief in his expression.
Yuan Xiantao shook his head slightly, indicating that he was not a conspiracy, but just guessed some inside information before they both.
After Yan Da's words, the whole audience was quiet, Yelu Shi smiled and said slowly: "Now, can you listen to the old man?" β
Everyone was silent, expressing their dissatisfaction and helplessness in silence.
Yelu Shi first looked at the Xue family's great Zongzheng, "Old prince, you are the great Zongzheng of the Xue family, not the great Zongzheng of Xue Rui, the throne continues to stay in the Xue family, but there is a different person, why not for you and the Xue family?" What's more, we condemned the atrocities and put an end to the rationality of killing the monarch in the future, didn't your Xue family's throne sit more securely? The old man can't think of a reason why you want to oppose me! β
The Xue family was looking at Yelu Shi, but he didn't expect him to even say such a thing, the new monarch must be his puppet, the nominal imperial power is still there, but the actual imperial power is sidelined.
But after thinking about it, Yelushi's words are not all without merit, not to mention that Yelushi is not like Xia Jingyun of the Southern Dynasty, he is at this age, how long can he jump?
He coerced all the castes so much, how could they no longer plant hatred in their hearts, and when Yelushi's eyes were closed, wouldn't it be time to reckoning!
At that point, everything will be back again!
When you are in court, you need to look at the long term, endure the immediate losses, and slowly figure it out!
He turned his head with hatred, "Now that you are strong and strong, there are many people, what else is there to say!" β
Yelushi didn't say much, and then looked at Murong Hammer and Pei Shisheng, "King Anton, Pei Shumi, what about the two of you?" β
Murong Hammer and Pei Shisheng were silent for a moment, and they both admitted defeat.
There's no way, people win, and those who know the times are junjie, what if they don't agree?
For the Murong family, a great opportunity was lost, but after all, the main body of the family is still there, and there will be opportunities in the future.
For Pei Shisheng, the choice is simpler, the Yuan Pei family is fighting in the court, and now the Yuan family is the first to vote for Yelushi under the smart and wise eyes of their family master, can Yelushi remember the other party's good?
In such a situation, if he doesn't agree to hurry up, I'm afraid that he will really be pressed and beaten by the Yuan family in the future.
So, after a turn of peaks and turns, six of the seven surnames of Daliang have agreed to abolish the emperor and establish a new monarch.
The only one who is still stubbornly resisting is the new head of the Yuwen family, Yuwenyun.
He glanced at Yelushi, with a little unwillingness and stubbornness, "If I don't agree, can it be that you dare to kill me?" β
Yelushi's expression remained unchanged, and he snorted lightly, "My Liang doesn't necessarily have to have seven surnames, and six surnames are not impossible." β
The eyes of everyone on the side lit up, and their eyes lit up like hungry wolves.
Yu Wenyun hurriedly said: "King Dingxi, don't misunderstand, I'll simply ask." β
He's reckless, he's domineering, but he's not stupid.
Now that the other party is winning, he is going to provoke the other party, maybe there will really be no Yuwen family, so he has to admit it immediately.
Yelushi took out a silk book from his arms, on which was written the covenant of abolishing Xue Ruili and Xue Yi, took out a pen and paper, and asked everyone to sign it.
At this point, this seemingly heavenly event was completely settled so absurdly and easily.
But the problems before Jerod did not end there.
After changing the emperor, the interests of all parties also need to be satisfied, if it is so simple coercion, after the head of the six surnamed families returns and is no longer subject to him, there may be waves again.
Wan Yanda looked at Yelu Shi, an ally who had secretly allied with him during the time of the first emperor to prevent trouble, and swore in the secret letter that there was a way to solve the follow-up, although he believed it, he was also a little curious and worried;
Yuan Xiantao also looked at Yelu Shi, curious about what this first favorite of the first emperor could come up with to really settle people's hearts.
If you can't take it out, only the benefits of the soldiers, you will have to think about the future again.
In the field of power, there is never anything to be taken for granted, and it is always full of change.
These two supporters all thought like this, and the remaining four people who were forced to agree were naturally even more interested in watching jokes.
You are indeed the best at the moment, but the future is not easy to say.
When the dragon swims in the sea and the tiger roars in the mountains and forests, you have nothing to fear with this little strength.
Yelushi calmly accepted everyone's gaze and smiled slightly, "Everyone, old man, there is a letter here, the person who wrote the letter is Xia Jingyun, the Marquis of Jianning of the Southern Dynasty, are you interested in hearing it?" β
As soon as they heard this, the expressions of everyone present became solemn.
After the disastrous defeat of Zhennan King Yinmayuan, they paid much more attention to the Southern Dynasty than before.
For this young man who is known as the civil and military wall with Jiang Yuhu, the killing god of the Southern Dynasty, everyone present has carefully read his resume and intelligence, and they all know that this is a top figure who is destined to be not ordinary, and is even very likely to hold the power of the Southern Dynasty for decades.
Such people are indeed qualified to be treated solemnly.
Yuan Xiantao smiled, "King Dingxi, this kind of person will definitely not act at will, if this letter can be shown to us, the old man is first willing to hear about it." β
Yelushi nodded, looked at Yuan Xiantao, who was so cooperative this time, handed him a look that made him feel at ease, and said with a smile: "This genius of the Southern Dynasty said in the letter that the two dynasties of the north and the south have been standing side by side for a long time, and neither can completely annex the other. He proposed that it would be better to cooperate with the North and the South, and jointly attack and conquer to the west, east, and south, and those places are full of anointing, prosperous, and weak armies, just like an undefended treasure house, waiting for us to loot wantonly, and even more than the vast land of the Central Plains, once obtained, everyone can get huge profits, why do you need to fight to the death and ask for a small amount of money! β
"To put it simply, he proposed that we stop fighting each other, that there are enough benefits out there to feed us, and that each of us can earn much more money than before. When the time comes, your Yuan family's medicinal materials, the Pei family's jade, the Yuwen family's horse ranch, the Murong family's fur blankets, etc., can be marketed throughout the world and make a lot of money. Our expeditionary soldiers will open the way for the caravanserans, who will be able to return their riches without a war, and with more profit than before. β
"And in this place, he has sent people to investigate, draw up plans, and then come up with a complete and detailed cooperation strategy."
He looked at everyone with a smile, "Everyone, are you interested?" β
In the big tent, there were several breathing sounds that were obviously much heavier.
A moment later, in the nervous waiting of the three thousand soldiers outside the tent, seven big men streamed out of the tent.
Xue Fenghua, the great sect of the imperial family, turned his head to look at everyone, "Everyone, let's go, enter the palace together and meet Your Majesty." β
Everyone snorted, and in order to show that they were not secretly making any small moves, the seven of them rode slowly towards Shangjing on their horses.
On either side of them, there were a thousand crane control troops and a thousand white bear troops, and the one thousand cowardly Xue Wei followed behind.
When they came to the city gate, the officers and soldiers guarding the city still wanted to stop the Crane Army and the White Bear Army that were traveling with them, but they were angrily reprimanded by Murong Hammer and Xue Fenghua, the commanders of the Kyoto Guard, and they did not dare to move and got out of the way.
The saying that the seven surnames share the world has long been a consensus in Daliang, and no one dares to block or doubt when these seven people make decisions at the same time.
And so they slowly entered the city and marched forward.
Ahead, is the palace, the emperor, the earth-shattering changes, and the future they are excited about. (End of chapter)
