Become a feudal king from today

"May I have your name?"

Zhao Heng looked back from Chen Hu, taking in the sight of a thousand cavalrymen from Yan County. ReadМ

"Back to the emperor, the last general is Chen Hu."

Zhao Heng nodded, "How is King Yan doing in Yan County?"

"Before the general set off, His Highness was assassinated and almost died, but thanks to the emperor's grace, he was fine in the end." Chen Hu said.

After saying that, he took out the memorial from his arms and presented it with both hands.

Originally, King Yan was planning to send someone alone to send the Zhezi to the capital.

But after deciding to let him escort Kutu to the capital, King Yan asked him to pass the zhezi.

"What, someone assassinated King Yan!" Zhao Heng took the memorial and started reading it.

"Since His Highness recovered from illness, he suffered two assassinations. One was by the Zhang family, a wealthy family in Yan County. There is no evidence of the second assassination. However, after the rumor of His Highness's death spread, Yuan Zhoumu immediately led his troops to Yancheng..." When Zhao Heng read the memorial, Chen Hu followed Zhao Xu's instructions one by one.

Zhao Heng scanned the contents of the memorial and was furious, "It's unreasonable that a small wealthy family in Yan County would be so bold and dare to assassinate the prince."

"Your Majesty, calm down. Yanzhou is a borderland. The local wealthy families have always been barbaric and disobeyed government orders." Dou Wei advised.

"More than just disobeying the government order?" Zhao Hengliang pointed out Zhang Kang's crime, "Colluding with Beidi to annex Yanzhou is a traitor, and Yuan Li, this bastard, doesn't even know who his son-in-law is. What's even more disgusting is that he actually Allowing the Zhang family to murder King Yan is simply a wolfish ambition.”

Dou Wei originally thought it was just a matter of a small wealthy family.

But when he heard that the Yuan family was involved, his face darkened.

This Yuan family is becoming more and more arrogant, even claiming to be the ninth most powerful family of Dasong.

Is he worthy?

It's just that the Yuan family guards Yanzhou and is the northern barrier of Dasong like Mo Zhai. No one dares to touch them, and they even have to win over them at every turn.

But things are different now.

King Yan proved his strength in this battle. His Yuan family no longer has the final say in Yanzhou.

It's just that for him, he doesn't want the Yuan family to grow big in Yanzhou, but he also doesn't want the King of Yan to grow big in Yanzhou.

The conflict between the two is in the best interest of the current powerful families.

But at the moment, compared with King Yan, the Yuan family is still more powerful.

After all, the Yuan family also controls six of the seven counties in Yanzhou.

Therefore, he felt that he should use King Yan's excuse to suppress the Yuan family and support King Yan at the same time. Only in this way can Yanzhou be safe by restraining each other.

"What the emperor said is absolutely true." Dou Wei said: "The Yuan family has indeed done whatever they want in Yanzhou in recent years, and now they have done such a thing that shows contempt for the royal family. This should be a shock."

Then Dou Wei said: "I believe that His Highness King Yan will not lie, but he has convicted the Yuan family based on only a memorial and a charge sheet. I am afraid that the Yuan family will not accept it and cause trouble..."

At this point, Dou Wei stopped and let Zhao Heng weigh it himself.

Hearing this, Zhao Heng nodded slightly and suppressed the fire.

He never knew about Yuan Li's evil deeds in Yanzhou. He just didn't want to cause trouble in Yanzhou, so he tolerated it as much as he could.

The court officials also had this idea, which allowed the Yuan family to continue to grow.

Therefore, you couldn't touch the Yuan family casually before, and you can't touch the Yuan family casually now.

Regardless of whether what King Yan said was true or false, he still had to put the overall stability of Yanzhou first.

But he also knew that blindly indulging the Yuan family was not a long-term solution.

Furthermore, since King Yan had taken advantage of the situation, he could not ignore it.

This time, he should find a way to make the Yuan family suffer a hidden loss and appease King Yan.

After thinking for a while, he suddenly had an idea.

Putting the book away, he said to Chen Hu: "You can stay in the capital for a few days, and I will make my own decision."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Hu was secretly happy.

Zhao Heng walked towards the prison car at this time.

When he came to Kutu, he looked at it carefully.

"Emperor Dasong, long time no see." At this moment, Kutu, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly spoke.

Dou Wei was also looking at it carefully, and then he said: "Your Majesty, it is indeed him, he is indeed Kutu."

Zhao Heng nodded and said sarcastically, "I remember that you were so high-spirited when you entered Jinling City, but I didn't expect to see you again in this way today."

Kutu smiled and said, "Hahaha, I just fell into the child's trick. If we fight head-on, I don't know who will win now."

"You are still stubborn when death is imminent." Dou Wei scolded.

Kutu sneered, "Kill me? Emperor Dasong, you have to think clearly. This time I am captured, Khan will not sit idly by and ignore it. When the time comes to capture Yan Pass and kill Jinling, it will be your turn to kill him." Landing."

Zhao Heng's face changed slightly.

The fear after the failure in the Battle of Ningjin came back again, making him shiver.

Kutu noticed the change in Zhao Heng's expression and felt secretly happy.

When he was in Yanjun, he was afraid every day.

What he was ashamed to admit was that he was actually afraid of the sixteen-year-old King Yan.

Because he knew that when King Yan said he wanted to kill him, he really wanted to kill him.

Dasong people called the Beidi people barbaric, but in his opinion, King Yan and his people were much more barbaric.

His threats to King Yan at that time were even more like farts to the King of Yan.

But now, I didn't expect that the emperor would change his face when he threatened him.

"This is just a small autumn hunting defeat. It only hurts me, Beidi." Kutu continued to threaten.

But while the two were talking, officials kept coming on horseback.

Seeing the nobles and officials arriving, Zhao Heng suddenly became more courageous.

He shouted, "Arrogant! Do you think my Dasong's millions of elite soldiers and generals are just for show? If your Khan comes, I can capture him." More and more officials gathered around Zhao Heng. After recognizing Kutu, they immediately whispered. "It's really Kutu." "This King of Yan is amazing. He actually captured the nine kings of Beidi." "Yes, it's simply an extraordinary achievement." "..." Chaotic voices continued to come from the innermost of the officials. Chalha and Tam suddenly rushed to the wooden fence and shouted loudly. Many officials were frightened and retreated repeatedly, and some officials fell to the ground. "Hahaha..." The two pointed at the officials and laughed. Kutu also laughed. Although Zhao Heng was fierce on the outside, he had a feeling that he might not die. The sun gradually set, and the wide space in front of the Meridian Gate was full of officials who came to watch. After confirming that it was indeed Kutu, the officials were all amazed. "The King of Yan is really lucky." The sixth prince Zhao She was sour. With such a great contribution, the Prince of Yan will definitely be rewarded.

This made him feel unhappy.

The most hateful thing is that the Prince of Yan will have a more important position in Yanzhou in the future, which will invisibly weaken the position of the Yuan family.

Once the position of the Yuan family is weakened, his position among the princes will also be affected.

He doesn't want to be bullied by other princes like Zhao Xu because his mother's family is weak.

When he thought of this, he felt a chill all over his body.
