Before the Lantern Festival, the wind in Tokyo became more and more tight, and in the past few days, foreign enemy vassal kings have been coming to Beijing with troops, and for a time the Tokyo court was surprisingly quiet, and foreign ministers should not participate in royal affairs.

However, the feudal lord who came to Tokyo had no scruples, and spent his days wandering between the Imperial Palace and Gendake, and contacted many eunuch families for many generations.

Tokyo's defense is much stricter, but as the Lantern Festival approaches, the city of Tokyo will hold a lantern festival as usual, and this year there is a royal ancestor worship, which is an endless stream of people entering the city.

"Alas!"

Li Gang looked at the crowd in line and was helpless, but he didn't have any way, the Lantern Festival, the royal family wanted to worship their ancestors, and the people wanted to go into the city to watch the ceremony, he had no reason to stop it.

"Li stays behind, it's not easy to manage the security in the city like this!"

Wang Yu was worried, so many people entered the city before the Lantern Festival, so did the Lantern Festival get on that day?

"Well, I hope it's okay!"

Li Gang said helplessly, he had already contacted the Planter Dao, and asked the Planter Dao to take the army to be stationed outside Tokyo, on the one hand, to guard against the enemy in the shadows, and most importantly, to deter the army brought by the vassal king.

The people of Tokyo City did not think too much about it, and waited for the arrival of the Lantern Festival with great anticipation.

And the merchants in Tokyo are also happy, and the business is good when there are more people, and Tokyo has not been so lively for a long time.

Qin Hui didn't care about being angry with Li Gang and others at this time, his wine and spice business was really good, there were many people in the city, the most important thing was to eat and drink, the meat made with spices was full of taste, and it was a perfect match for wine.

Inside a palatial restaurant.

"Haha, it's better to be in Tokyo!"

Wu Guogong Zhao Zizao said with a laugh.

"Haha, yes, this wine tastes good, and this meat tastes good!"

Zhao Ziyan, the king of Xiu'an, also raised his glass with a smile.

"Wu Guogong, we're here this time, we can't be sent away casually, right?"

Zhao Ziwei looked at Zhao Zixiao and asked, they are brothers, the ancestor is the ancestor Zhao Kuangyin, who has been in the fiefdom all these years, and has only been to Tokyo a few times, and now he feels the prosperity of Tokyo, and he is a little unbalanced for a while.

"Of course you can't just pass it away! The world is in chaos like this, half of the country laid down by Taizu has been lost, and we, as descendants, naturally have to do something! ”

Zhao Zizao nodded and said.

"That is, Taizu conquered the world, and our descendants should guard the world! This is the ancestral business! ”

All the people are Fu and Tao.

"I don't know if Wu Guogong has figured out what to do?"

Zhao Ziyan asked again, everyone present also looked over, all of them were in the line of Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, as the direct descendants of the founding emperor, they should have become the direct line of the royal family, but Taizong's succession made their identities embarrassing.

"Of course, we stayed in Tokyo with everyone, we are the direct line of Taizu, how can we always be in a remote fiefdom?"

Zhao Zizao opened his mouth, he was worried that the deceased would forget them all if he did this again.

"Wu Guogong, the emperor summoned us the day before yesterday and gave us some fiefdoms, I'm afraid it's not okay if you don't go!"

Someone hesitated for a moment and said, this time, in order to appease their group of vassal kings, Zhao Huan has rewarded a lot, among which the fiefdom is the mainstay.

"Some backwoods, too, do you look at them? What are some of the best places to be in Tokyo? ”

Someone retorted.

Many of the fiefs rewarded by Zhao Huan this time were in Guangxi Road and Dali, which were real poor and remote places, and they were exiled prisoners.

The clansmen who were assigned here definitely didn't want to, those places can't be compared to Tokyo at all, no matter how big the fief is, what's the use?

Some of the high titles are reluctant to leave, but the lower ones want to leave.

If you have a higher title, you can get more, and I'm afraid that in Tokyo, they can also have a place.

But the ones with low titles don't think so, they are already a side of the clan, and they don't have any status in the clan, and they are very satisfied if they can get some fiefs.

The two sides soon got into an argument.

Zhao Zizao and Zhao Ziwei glanced at each other, knowing that their side is not monolithic, it has been more than 150 years since Taizu has been inherited, and many people's titles are about to be gone.

For these people, the purpose of coming to Tokyo this time is just for some benefits, raising the title and adding a little fief, which is enough for them.

"Ahem!"

Zhao Ziyan coughed and stopped everyone's dispute.

When everyone saw Zhao Ziyan speak, they didn't dare to fight anymore, they all sat down and waited for Zhao Ziyan to speak.

"Everyone, we are all descendants of Taizu, and we should be united!"

Zhao Ziyan looked at everyone and emphasized that they had contacted Tokyo together this time, in order to be the top of the Taizu lineage.

"King Xiu'an, it's not that we don't want to contribute to Taizu, it's really a compelling situation, there are hundreds of thousands of troops outside the city, and we don't have enough people to bring it!"

Someone said helplessly, the dispute between Taizu and Taizong has been more than a hundred years, although it has not been put on the surface, but the struggle in the secret is continuous, and in the end it all ended with the failure of their Taizu lineage.

"Who said they were going to use their swords?"

Zhao Zizao looked at everyone and smiled.

"Wu Guogong, but what is the best way?"

Everyone looked at Zhao Zizao.

"If you use a sword, it will inevitably be ruined, and in the end, whether you win or lose, you will be infamy! Taizong assassinated Taizu back then, and we also have no evidence, otherwise how would they sit on the throne? ”

Zhao Zizao looked at the people, there are many rumors about the death of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, some say that he was poisoned by his younger brother Zhao Guangyi, and some say that he was chopped to death by Zhao Guangyi.

When everyone saw Zhao Zizao directly talk about Taizu's death, they were all filled with righteous indignation, if it wasn't for Taizu's unclear death, they should all live in Tokyo and enjoy glory and wealth now.

"We don't use the swords, but we can put pressure on them!"

Zhao Zizao saw that everyone's anger was aroused, and continued to speak.

"Pressure?"

Everyone's faces were blank.

"Yes, Zhao Ji is going to hold an ancestor worship ceremony during the Lantern Festival, and we will be in trouble when the time comes!"

Zhao Zizao looked at everyone and said, Zhao Ji invited them to attack Zhao Huan at the ancestor worship ceremony, and Zhao Huan asked them to put some pressure on the emperor Zhao Ji at the ancestor worship ceremony, so that the emperor should not participate in state affairs.

"Trouble at the ancestor worship ceremony?"

Everyone had different expressions on their faces, and they were a little worried, this ancestor worship ceremony was the entire Zhao clan, and it was a felony to force the palace on this occasion, although it was better than using a sword.

"You don't have to worry, there are so many of us, the law is not responsible for the public, how dare they? What's more, it's because their Taizong lineage is useless, they lost their country and humiliated their power, and now most of the country is gone, what face do they have to say about us? ”

Zhao Ziyan looked at everyone, he knew everyone's worries, but there were many of them, and he was not afraid of anything going wrong.
