Become a feudal king from today

Jinling.

royal palace.

Jinluan Palace.

Xie Duan stood under the main hall and looked at the dragon chair above.

The eldest prince stood beside him, his eyes flashing.

"Uncle, what should we do now?" Zhao Gang sighed, "My father has gone to Yanzhou, what should I do? If it doesn't work out, I will go to Yanzhou too? In case King Yan doesn't confuse my father."

Hearing this, Xie Duan sneered, "Are you going to throw yourself into a trap? Don't you know how you got the imperial edict to make you the crown prince?"

Zhao Gang shrank his neck. He had already heard from his mother that this imperial decree was forced.

"Brother, you should think of a way. The emperor has now designated Yancheng as the imperial city. This clearly shows that he does not want to come back, and this Yanzhou is the territory of King Yan. We are absolutely not allowed to go." At this time. Queen Xie walked in from outside the door.

She had just come from the harem. Although the two bastards Dou Wei and Xiao Cheng did not burn down the palace, they even scraped away the gold foil on the walls of the palace.

"What should I do? Huh, King Yan took advantage of the chaos in Jinling and kidnapped the emperor, and held the emperor hostage to order the princes. He had evil intentions. The country cannot be without a king for a day. The eldest prince is the crown prince appointed by the emperor. In times of crisis, he will inherit the throne. Tong, rule the world." Xie Duan said.

Originally, he wanted to rescue Zhao Heng, force Zhao Heng to become the eldest prince, and then find a way to get rid of Zhao Heng.

After that, he regarded himself as the royal orthodoxy of Dasong and took over the royal prefectures and counties.

After completely controlling these states and counties, they can then unite with other powerful clans to deal with King Yan who is too big to lose.

But Zhao Heng's trip to Yanzhou disrupted all his plans.

First of all, Zhao Heng's arrival in Yanzhou was tantamount to a complete break with the powerful clan.

Yanzhou is the territory of King Yan, and the powerful clans have no influence at all.

Zhao Heng was thus freed from the control of the powerful clan.

Moreover, Zhao Heng has no foundation in Yanzhou, so he still wants to go despite taking such a big risk.

This is tantamount to fully turning to King Yan.

From now on, what Zhao Heng means is basically what King Yan means.

This was absolutely intolerable not only to his Xie family, but also to other powerful families.

This means that from now on, the Xie family will worship a vassal king like King Yan who massacres powerful families and is completely contrary to the interests of their powerful family.

Although in the past, their Xie family had cooperated with King Yan.

But that was to gain King Yan's support for the eldest prince, pinching his nose and doing it as a last resort.

In fact, inside, he was full of disgust.

Now that Zhao Heng has gone to Yanzhou, their interests no longer seem to be consistent.

Trust is naturally gone.

Even though King Yan continued to support the eldest prince.

But when the eldest prince went to Yanzhou to ascend the throne, wouldn't it mean that he would fall into the hands of King Yan and be at his mercy?

Therefore, he thought about it and decided that there was only one way to go now.

That is to immediately let the eldest prince ascend the throne in Jinling.

Let the eldest prince raise the banner of royal orthodoxy first and win the royal states and counties.

In short, King Yan cannot be allowed to hold the imperial edict and occupy the moral high point of Dasong.

Furthermore, Zhao Heng's escape to Yanzhou was tantamount to declaring war on the powerful clan.

He also forced Zhao Heng to appoint the crown prince when he was in crisis. There was no room for change between them.

At present, Dou Wei founded Nanliang in Xiangcheng.

His Xie family simply broke up and pulled him down.

However, the threat from King Yan is also substantial.

He was also a little worried.

Although the powerful clans broke up unhappy because of Dou Wei's dirty deeds.

But he felt that after the eldest prince ascended the throne, he should send people to find other powerful clans to discuss joint measures to deal with King Yan.

Each country can stand on its own and fight against each other, but in the face of common threats, cooperation is also needed.

But even if they cooperate, he will send the Dou family out.

Dou Wei looted Jinling City, and now he hates it to death.

"Brother is right, just do it like this. The emperor is so cruel that he left us mother and son to go to Yanzhou. Why should we take care of him and just treat him as dead?" Queen Xie said.

In her heart, her son's throne is much more important than Zhao Heng.

Zhao Gang didn't care about Zhao Heng's life or death, he was already thirty-two years old.

He had long hoped that Zhao Heng would die and he could become the emperor.

Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Thank you, uncle."

Xie Duan nodded, "Without further delay, we will arrange the enthronement ceremony for Ganger in the next few days to avoid long nights and dreams."

In fact, in his heart, he hopes that the Xie family can establish a country on its own like the Dou family.

But the royal prefectures and what was left of the imperial army were more attractive.

Currently, the Dou family and the Xiao family are in alliance, and the Wang family and the Han family are as close as one family.

Only he, the Xie family, is alone, but if he successfully takes over the royal territory.

The territory controlled by his Xie family will be the largest among the seven.

In addition, all the food in the world comes from the Xie family. He has food and soldiers, so what else is there to fear?

And this was the root of his eagerness to let the eldest prince ascend the throne.

…

Xiangcheng.

Dou Wei and Zhao Mu, but Dou Mu was discussing the construction of the palace in the city.

Although he ascended the throne, he became the emperor of Nanliang.

But right now there is no place to live that suits his status.

But he didn't care about this, but his father Dou Wei was very obsessed with it.

"Father, it's better to use the remaining silver to recruit soldiers and horses. My ambition is to dominate the world, and that's not the end of it." Dou Mu said.

Now that his wish has been fulfilled, he has endless ambition in his heart.

"The wealth brought from Jinling is enough to build you a palace. Now that you are the king of a country, you need a palace worthy of your status. Luan Jia, this is the majesty of the royal family. It cannot be omitted. It will not affect your pursuit of world hegemony." Dou Wei smiled.

The two were talking when a Dou family cavalry rode up.

Stopping in front of Dou Wei, the cavalryman wanted to salute Dou Wei.

But Dou Wei glared at the cavalry, who understood, turned to Dou Mu, and said: "Your Majesty, there is news from Wuguan that envoys from Beidi have arrived. They said they would come to Xiangcheng to congratulate Nanliang on the founding of the country."

"People from Beidi." Dou Mu subconsciously looked to the north and looked at Dou Wei. He said, "Go to Wuguan immediately and lead the Beidi envoys to see you."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The cavalryman responded.

Dou Wei said at this time: "Beidi came here this time to make an appointment with me in Nanliang to jointly resist King Yan. Your Majesty should take advantage of this opportunity to cooperate with the Beidi people so that the border market can continue to bring profits to the Dou family and also Can cooperate with Beidi and South to contain King Yan."

Dou Mu nodded. After Nanliang was established, he had to think about the next layout.

In his opinion, Nanliang had just been established and it was not appropriate to attack the city immediately.

This will arouse hostility from other powerful clans.

We have to wait for the news from other powerful clans.

"Also, there is news from Yanzhou that Zhao Heng went to Yanzhou and is currently in Yancheng." The cavalryman said again.

Dou Mu and Dou Wei's expressions darkened at the same time.

Dou Weidao: "Zhao Heng has gone to Yanzhou. King Yan has become even more powerful. Now he is bound to regard himself as royal orthodoxy. But let's ignore it. The most nervous ones now should be the Han family, the Wang family and the Xie family. We can just watch. ”

"It's just that if King Yan is allowed to defeat them one by one, we in Nanliang will be left alone in the end." Dou Mu said worriedly.

"Haha, Your Majesty is overly worried. Now the powerful families may still have grudges against my Dou family. Let them suffer first. In this way, they will remember the good things of my Dou family." Dou Weiwei looked confident.

Dou Mu heard this and nodded.
