Become a feudal king from today

"Father, something happened!"

When Liang Kai was depressed, his eldest son Liang Feng came quickly.

His heart sank. He thought something was going to be detrimental to the Liang family, so he hurriedly asked: "What is it?"

"The third prince was captured by the Xiliang soldiers. This news has just reached the capital. The emperor is afraid that he will be furious." Liang Feng's face was not worried at all, but full of ridicule. "The prince's capture is a great humiliation for the country. The third prince is captured." The prince will no longer be able to take the throne."

"This is serious!" Liang Kai looked excited and grabbed Liang Feng's shoulders.

From ancient times to the present, it is impossible for any emperor to let a prince who has been captured by an enemy country continue to rule.

Otherwise, the dignity of the royal family will be lost.

"It's absolutely true. It is said that Dou Wei passed out immediately after hearing the news." Liang Feng chuckled.

"God help our Liang family. Back then, for the sake of sea power, my Liang family and the Dou family agreed to support the third prince's fight for the throne in exchange for support. The fifth prince has suffered a lot of injustice over the years." Liang Kai paced back and forth.

In recent years, the Liang family did not support the prince's fight for the throne. It was not that the Liang family did not care about the throne, but that he had other plans.

But the Dou family broke the agreement for the sake of artillery.

The Liang family did not support him at all.

Even though the Liang family gave in at that time, he was already dissatisfied with Dou Wei.

Now that the third prince was captured by Xiliang, he no longer had to make the fifth prince swallow his anger.

From now on, he can openly support the five princes in their fight for the crown prince's position.

…

Dou family.

Dou Wei fainted, woke up, howled, and passed out again several times.

The entire Dou Mansion was in chaos.

Dou Kuang and his mother Xiao were waiting in front of Dou Wei's bed.

Dou Wei was still asleep.

Mrs. Xiao sighed at this time, "Your father has always loved the third prince, and this is really killing him."

"What mother said is that father loves the third prince a thousand times more than his children." Dou Kuang smiled, but there was a trace of resentment in his eyes.

Hearing this, Mrs. Xiao stopped talking and finally said: "You are his eldest son, so naturally he should be stricter with you."

"Maybe." Dou Kuang just responded.

He can tell clearly what is disgust and what is harshness.

"You said that the detective horse was doing a good job, but why was it ambushed." Mrs. Xiao sighed again.

Ma Jin defected to Xiliang, and the Wuguan guarded by the Dou family became a border pass.

Under Dou Wei's instruction, the third prince proposed to go to Wuguan to inspect the defense.

The original intention was to go to Wuguan and make military exploits.

Unexpectedly, this disaster happened.

According to the Dou family general who sent the news.

Ma Jin often sent cavalry to Wuguan to insult Dou Wei.

How could the generals of the Dou family endure it? They often sent out cavalry to fight with Ma Jin's cavalry.

Six days ago, the Dou family inspected their horses and discovered that a Ma family cavalry force of less than 500 people was heading towards Wuguan again.

The third prince, who was about to return to the capital, was eager to make another contribution, so he led two thousand troops to attack.

I never imagined that I would be fighting with him.

Suddenly, a large number of Xiliang soldiers rushed out from both sides of the mountain road, and the third prince was shot by an arrow and captured.

"Soldiers are treacherous. The third prince has never fought before. Maybe he just stumbled." Dou Kuang's eyes flickered.

At this moment, Dou Wei groaned and woke up.

"Quick, prepare your Shangguan uniform, I'm going to see the emperor..." Dou Wei struggled to get up.

Mrs. Xiao hurriedly advised: "Master, it's better to lie down for a while."

"If you are told to go, just go! Ahem..." Dou Wei was furious.

"Father, the official uniforms are ready. For such a big event, I know that my father must meet the emperor." At this time, Dou Kuang suddenly said, and then he waved his hand, and a servant came in.

Dou Wei nodded, just got out of bed, put on his official uniform, and went out with his old servant.

Dou Kuang sent Dou Wei to the door and watched the carriage leave with a sneer on his lips.

…

royal palace.

The news of the capture of the third prince also reached Zhao Heng's ears.

He was playing with an oriole, and he even choked his beloved bird to death out of anger without even realizing it.

It wasn't until Liang Cheng reminded him that he came back to his senses.

He was so angry that he could hardly stand still.

When she was furious, Concubine Dou came over crying and knelt down in front of him, "Your Majesty, please, you must save Mu'er, he is also dedicated to serving the country..."

"That's enough. Do you really think that I don't know anything? He went to Wuguan to gain military exploits and come back to compete with the prince for the throne. If you all had your thoughts straight, how could what happened today happen!" Zhao Heng was furious.

Losing Qinzhou and Yongzhou has made him feel depressed these days.

Now that the third prince has been captured again, it is simply a national humiliation.

He could even think of Xiliang Shanyu Murong Hao's proud face now.

The King of Yan gave him a comeback in Jinzhou, but Xiliang was able to come back again.

"Your Majesty, even if Mu'er is wrong, he is still your son, the prince of Dasong. Are you going to let him fall into the hands of the Xiliang people and suffer torture? Your Majesty, I beg you, please save Mu'er. Son." Concubine Dou kept kowtowing, her face full of tears.

"Save! How do you want me to save you?" Zhao Heng became even more angry.

Now he was also panicking and didn't know what to do.

If the third prince wants to come back, I wonder what kind of conditions Xiliang will offer.

One of them was making trouble and the other was angry. At this time, a eunuch came to report to Dou Wei that he wanted to see him.

"Tell him that I will not see him alone and ask him to summon the ministers to discuss matters in the Jinluan Palace." Zhao Heng snorted.

Now, whether it was Concubine Dou or Dou Wei, he felt disgusted.

If it hadn't been for them, how could such a humiliating thing have happened.

Half an hour later.

All the ministers arrived, and Zhao Heng arrived at the Jinluan Hall with the support of Liang Cheng.

The news of the capture of the third prince had spread throughout Jinling, and the ministers were talking about it after they arrived.

The officials of Dou Weiyi's faction were all dejected and looked like they had nothing to live for.

They knew very well that even if the third prince was rescued, he would only be an idle king from then on.

The second prince, the crown prince and their officials were obviously gloating.

For them, without the third prince as an opponent, the position of the crown prince was closer to them.

Zhao Heng saw this scene and sat on the dragon throne with anger in his heart.

"Looking at this, you all know it. What should we do?" Zhao Heng supported his head. At this moment, he was physically and mentally exhausted.

"Father, I think the third brother is the prince of Dasong. We should try our best to rescue him. Otherwise, Dasong will lose face. It is better to send an envoy to Xiliang first to find out the intention of the Xiliang Chanyu. If we can redeem him with silver, it will be the best." A young man stepped out, but it was the fifth prince Zhao She.

The crown prince and the second prince looked at Zhao She in surprise.

This fifth brother has always been very low-key and rarely speaks in the court.

"It would be best if we could redeem him with silver, but this would be too disappointing for our great Song. Father, why not order the people of Xiliang to hand over the third brother first, and threaten them with war. Xiliang will be afraid, and then the third brother will naturally come back." The second prince said.

"No! Wouldn't this put the third prince in danger? If we anger the people of Xiliang, they will do anything." Dou Wei said hurriedly, glaring at the second prince.

"What if the people of Xiliang are unwilling to exchange the third prince for silver? The only way is to fight and scare them."

"Things that can be solved with silver are not problems."

"..."

The second prince and Dou Wei took the lead, and the officials immediately quarreled, arguing red-faced.

Zhao Heng became more and more annoyed, and said angrily: "Enough, shut up!"
