Become a feudal king from today

After three consecutive days of sunny weather, it suddenly started to drizzle in Jinling.

Rumors about the third prince spread throughout the capital.

Another piece of news caused quite a stir.

Da Song wants to raise an army to attack Xiliang for revenge.

And just after this became the talk of the streets.

A carriage guarded by the Forbidden Army quietly entered the city.

But the carriage did not go towards the palace, but stopped in front of Prince He's Mansion.

Immediately, a young man was supported by a servant and walked into the palace, and the imperial soldiers rode away.

After another half an hour, two carriages arrived in front of the palace. Concubine Dou and Dou Wei got off the carriages and entered the palace.

"Mother, uncle..."

On the bed, the third prince looked at his mother and Dou Wei and cried loudly.

Concubine Dou burst into tears and just held the third prince's hand.

Dou Wei also cried. At this time, he drove all the servants out of the house and ordered no one to come in.

The three of them cried for a while, and Zhao Mu said, "Concubine, I might as well die in Xiliang. At least I can get my reputation back. What's the use of living like this now?"

"Mu'er, don't say such silly things. If you die, my mother and concubine might as well die with you."

Dou Wei sighed for a while and felt like a knife was twisting his heart.

Zhao Mu looked up at the sky, "But what can I do if I'm alive? Has there been a prince like me since ancient times?"

"Emperor Taihe of Liang Dynasty was captured by the grassland people and returned to Liang ten years ago. Didn't he still seize the throne and continue to be his emperor? If an emperor is like this, why can't you, the prince, do the same?" Dou Wei consoled him.

"But now...do I have a prince like me?" After Zhao Mu finished speaking, tears welled up in his eyes.

Concubine Dou and Dou Wei knew what Zhao Mu wanted to say.

Xiliang's move was so vicious that it was even worse than killing Zhao Mu.

But this kind of humiliation is only for Dasong Guoti.

From Concubine Dou and Dou Wei's point of view, they still hope that the third prince can return alive, even though the third prince now has physical defects.

"Mu'er, don't think like that. No matter what happens, you will always be the prince of Dasong. What my uncle promised you will definitely be done." Dou Wei said decisively, "Now, you only need to take good care of your injuries, and the rest will be left to you." Just give it to uncle."

Dou Wei promised him to make him the emperor of Dasong.

But if he hadn't wanted to fight for the throne, how could he have become like this.

Thinking of this, he looked crazy, "It's impossible. My father will never choose me to be the crown prince no matter what. He won't even come to see me now, because I am the shame of Dasong!"

Dou Wei and Concubine Dou were even more distressed when they saw this, and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort them.

Holding Zhao Mu's hand, Dou Wei stared into his eyes, "Mu'er, what uncle promised you, he will definitely do it, no matter what the cost."

Looking up at the sky, he continued: "In the past, my uncle still cared about the old relationship with the same people, but he will never do it again. No one can stop you from ascending to the throne."

Zhao Mu's twisted expression gradually softened.

His appearance now is no different from that of the living dead.

If you can only live in this capacity for the rest of your life, it is better to die early.

The only reason that allowed him to continue living was the high seat in the Jinluan Palace.

Seeing that Zhao Mu calmed down, Dou Wei and Concubine Dou breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Mu then asked again: "What are you going to do, uncle?"

"It's not the time to tell you now, at least until after the crusade against Xiliang." Dou Wei narrowed his eyes.

"Crunt against Xiliang? Okay, okay, to annihilate Xiliang, we must annihilate Xiliang." Zhao Mu suddenly shouted as if he was stimulated.

Then Zhao Mu seemed to be too tired, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep slowly.

At this time, Concubine Dou and Dou Wei looked at each other.

Concubine Dou sobbed, "Brother, why is Mu'er suffering such a miserable life? He has a high self-esteem. He created this disaster and was afraid that he would not survive."

"That's why I allowed him to be crown prince. This is his only thought. If even this thought disappears, he really won't be able to live." Dou Wei sighed.

Concubine Dou wiped her tears and said, "It's just that how could the emperor let him inherit the position of crown prince?"

"You don't have to worry about it. I have my own opinion." A trace of determination flashed in Dou Wei's eyes.

Concubine Dou nodded and rested her head on Dou Wei's shoulder.

…

Royal study room.

Zhao Heng looked at the mountain and river map on the wall, and his eyes stopped at Xiliang.

This is a war about dignity.

Xiliang must pay a heavy price.

But he knew that the battle to conquer Xiliang would not be easy.

After all, there is Beidi behind Xiliang, and Beidi will not sit back and watch Xiliang be destroyed by Dasong.

But now both the powerful army and the imperial army are equipped with artillery, which makes him less confident than before.

This time, he is bound to take back Qinzhou and Yongzhou, defeat Xiliang and Beidi to the point of being unable to recover, and can no longer cause trouble in the northwest.

"Has the Third Prince entered the city?" Zhao Heng asked seemingly unintentionally.

Liang Cheng nodded, "Back to the emperor, His Highness the Third Prince has returned to the palace. Concubine Dou and Prime Minister Dou have both gone to visit."

Zhao Heng nodded.

He had no desire to visit him now.

With the return of the third prince, more news about the third prince's stay in Xiliang came back.

Lead horses to Shanyu of Xiliang and clean boots for Shanyu of Xiliang.

Such actions simply brought Da Song into disgrace.

Now facing the courtiers, he thought that these ministers were laughing at him behind his back.

He even hoped that the third prince would have some backbone and commit suicide when captured.

This can at least protect the dignity of the royal family.

Rather than launching a war against Xiliang for his sake.

"Tell King Yan that he will guard Yanzhou during the Northern Expedition and there will be no room for failure," Zhao Heng said.

Under Dou Wei's lobbying, the Xiao family, Wang family, and Han family now agreed to the war and agreed to send troops.

Needless to say, the Xie family had the same idea as him, and the Ma family hated Ma Jin to the core, so they would naturally agree.

Now only the Liang family and the Fan family have ambiguous attitudes.

The Liang family was unable to send troops due to frequent attacks by pirates on the coast.

Fan Jiayan repeatedly invaded Jiaozhi, and the distance was too far, making it inconvenient to send troops.

But even so, in his opinion, these troops are enough.

Therefore, he felt that there was no need to call King Yan for this war.

From his selfish point of view, he did not want King Yan to make another great contribution.

And in his opinion, the reason why King Yan was so able to fight was because the army was equipped with artillery.

Since both the imperial army and the powerful army have artillery, they can do whatever King Yan can do.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Liang Cheng said yes, turned around and retreated.

Seven days later.

Zhao Heng's oral edict arrived in Yancheng.

Zhao Xu immediately called Chang Wei and Liu Fu to the study.

"The emperor wants to attack Xiliang?" Chang Wei was shocked after Zhao Xu read out the contents of the oral instruction.

In these years, Dasong has only been passively beaten and has never initiated a war.

So he was slightly surprised.

"What's weird about this? If you capture Beidi Khan's son and do this to him, how do you think Beidi will react?" Liu Fu glanced at Zhao Xu while he was making moves.

Zhao Xu shook his head helplessly.

Because this is undoubtedly a conspiracy of Beidi.
