Become a feudal king from today

"Your Majesty has turned a corner and is approaching Yancheng. The war in the north has also turned around. It is truly a joyous occasion. I, the lower official, Liu Fu, dare to offer a toast to Your Majesty!" The wine was in full swing, and Liu Fu stood up with a glass of wine. ReadМ

"You are King Yan's Fu Wang, right?" Although Zhao Heng was a little tipsy, his mind was still clear.

"Exactly." Liu Fu bowed.

Zhao Heng looked Liu Fu up and down and said: "The position of Prince Fu has always been appointed by the imperial court. Since King Yan has chosen you as King Fu, I will no longer interfere. You must fulfill your duties and live up to King Yan's trust." ”

When Liu Fu heard this, a strange look flashed in his eyes, "I would like to obey the emperor's teachings."

Zhao Xu drank by himself and pretended not to hear.

Neither his father nor the second prince were economical.

The second prince kept trying to alienate his relationship with Zhao Heng.

And his father dug a corner in front of him.

He said this to Liu Fu, but in fact, he also said it to the officials and generals who were sitting next to him.

The implication is that although you are under the command of King Yan, you are still Dasong’s ministers.

He, the emperor, had the right to be promoted and demoted.

It is tantamount to reminding everyone that the one they really owe allegiance to is him, Emperor Dasong.

"I would also like to propose a toast to the Emperor." Zhongli stood up.

When Zhao Heng saw it, the smile on his face became thicker, thinking that his words had an effect.

But the next moment, his expression changed.

Zhongli drank all the wine in the cup and threw it to the ground with a crisp sound.

Zhao Heng was frightened, he was completely drunk, and his face suddenly changed. He didn't know why Zhongli suddenly acted like this.

Zhongli looked angry and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the last toast is to show respect for the Emperor, and throwing the wine glass is to express injustice to His Highness King Yan!"

"Zhongli, Your Majesty is here, how can you be so rude? Someone is coming. Captain Zhongli is drunk. Send him back."

The two guards stepped forward to push Zhongli out, but Zhongli threw him away. He continued: "Your Highness, even if you kill the general's head today, the general will tell the emperor these words today."

Zhao Xu wanted to scold again, but was stopped by Zhao Heng, who said: "I want to hear the whole story. What happened?"

"Your Majesty, you don't know. Just a few days ago, an army pretended to be an imperial edict and pretended to be the Forbidden Army. They tried to break into Yanguan and cooperate with the Beidi army coming from the sea." Zhongli raised his voice.

The other generals and officials who were sitting down nodded.

"Fake imperial edict? Pretend to be a Forbidden Army?" Zhao Heng frowned and looked at Zhao Xu, "King Yan, is this really true?"

"Back to my father, Captain Zhongli didn't say a false word." Zhao Xu pretended to look sad at this time.

Then he gave Xu Lie a look, and Xu Lie left.

When he came back with the false imperial edict in hand, two more soldiers pushed a baggage cart into the yard.

"Father, please look!" Zhao Xu presented the imperial edict.

Zhao Heng glanced at him and his face became extremely embarrassed.

Zhao Xu also ordered the soldiers to show the mezzanine of the baggage truck to Zhao Heng, and at the same time told the whole story about the fake imperial army.

"You mean, this matter is still the result of Yuan Li colluding with Beidi?" Zhao Heng felt an evil fire going straight to his forehead.

Zhao Xu then took Zhuoge's confession from Xu Lie and presented it to Zhao Heng.

This confession is false, and Zhuo Ge has a tough mouth.

But it didn't matter whether he said it or not. The soldier forced his fingers to make fingerprints on the crime.

Zhao Heng continued to read, his hand trembling slightly as he held the confession.

Zhao Xu took the opportunity to argue, "This Zhuoge is the deputy commander of the Black Iron Guards of Beidi. During this period, he often went in and out of Fanyang to plan this matter with Yuan Li. If Ulanba's army had not died at sea this time, as long as the Beidi army arrived in Nancheng , these dead soldiers will take over the city gate as a matter of course."

After a pause, he said sadly: "If this is the case, Yanzhou is gone now, and my son and I will naturally not be able to save my father."

"You traitor!" Zhao Heng threw the confession to the ground.

King Yan's words made him break into a cold sweat.

As King Yan said, if Yuan Li's plot succeeds, King Yan will not be able to save him.

Then he is probably captured by Beidi now.

Moreover, it was impossible for Yuan Li not to know that King Yan knew that he was trapped in Xiancheng.

If Yuan Li still does this, it is equivalent to watching him die!

How can he not be angry?

The last Yanguan incident was suppressed by King Yan in time.

He couldn't empathize with him, and considering the balance of Yanzhou, he was lenient with Yuan Liwang.

However, although there was no evidence at the time, he also felt that King Yan would not be unreasonable.

So when Yuan Li returned to Yanzhou, he specially reminded Yuan Li and gave him the four words "loyalty to the emperor and service to the country".

Now it seems that he, Yuan Li, has not repented at all, but has only worsened his situation.

The last time King Yan impeached Yuan Li for treason was basically true.

"Your Majesty, now do you understand why the general has complained to His Highness Prince Yan?" Zhongli continued.

Liu Fu also said: "Beidi Autumn Hunting, the Yanguan Incident, the Battle of Jinzhou, and now the Northern Expedition has been frustrated. His Highness not only saved the emperor, but also reversed the decline of the Northern Expedition. It can be seen that His Highness the King of Yan is truly loyal, and this He, Yuan Like, had contributed not a single cent to these four matters."

He sighed, "Not only was there no success, but he collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country twice. How could the Yuan family occupy the three southern counties of Yanzhou?"

"That's right!" Zhong Li shouted, "Although His Highness the King of Yan was deeply grateful for the reward given to King Yan last time, the generals and others were aggrieved. Why did he, Yuan Li, collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, and instead sit firmly in the richest South? There are three counties, but His Highness King Yan only has two barren lands, Ping County and Liao County?"

"yes."

"It really doesn't make sense."

"His Royal Highness King Yan has suffered a lot of grievances."

"If Yanzhou governs Yanzhou, how can the Yuan family be in trouble again and again?"

"..."

Other generals and officials were talking a lot at this time and turned their attention to Zhao Heng from time to time.

"Ahem... Actually, I also wanted to hand over the entire Yanzhou to the jurisdiction of King Yan at that time, but the ministers in the court blocked it, and I was helpless." Zhao Heng felt guilty for a while when everyone stared at him.

After all, he was also the instigator in this matter.

Looking at Zhao Xu, he said: "King Yan, I have really wronged you during this period. This time you saved me and defeated Beidi's attempt to invade Yan Pass. This is an immortal achievement, but it is a big deal to reward the land." , I need to go back to Jinling to discuss with the ministers."

After arguing for a long time, he actually understood the meaning of the generals and officials under King Yan.

They wanted him to expel the Yuan family from Yanzhou and let Yanzhou govern the entire Yanzhou.

"Father, don't listen to their nonsense. I don't dare to have any criticism against the imperial court. It's just that the people in Yanzhou are strong and fierce. The officials and generals under my command are naturally impetuous. Sometimes I also restrain them. I can't help them." Zhao Xu looked helpless.

"Oh? Haha..." When these words fell into Zhao Heng's ears, his face turned pale.

Zhao Xu looked harmless, but why did he feel that these words were full of threats.

His eyes swept around the officials with gloomy faces and strange expressions. His heart tightened and he said: "I am the emperor of Songs. In fact, there is no need to discuss with the ministers. The King of Yan has heard the decree. From now on, the seven counties of Yanzhou will They are all included in your territory, and you should work diligently to protect the territory and never forget the responsibilities of the feudal royal family."

"Father, you really don't want to listen to their nonsense!" Zhao Heng looked flattered and refused.

Zhao Heng said seriously: "This is an imperial decree. How can you push it around and still not accept it?"

Zhao Xu glared at the generals and officials, and then reluctantly knelt down to accept the order.

It seems that all this has nothing to do with me.

But the moment he lowered his head, a smile appeared on his lips.
