Become a feudal king from today

"Hahaha..." Yuan Hang and the Sixth Prince laughed at the same time. read

When they thought that King Yan was about to die at the hands of the Han family, they felt very happy.

Once upon a time, they turned their hands to make clouds and rain in the capital, and lived a life of luxury, fine clothes, fine food, and romance.

He even had a chance to become the prince and the emperor of Dasong in the future.

But just because of King Yan, he was imprisoned by Zhao Heng for more than a year.

Even if the powerful clan sent him to Jinzhou, he would never be able to live his old life again.

Because this place is too barren, even if he tries his best to search, he will not be able to enjoy 10% of the luxurious life before.

So how could he not hate it.

But thankfully this is all coming to an end.

The armies of the Han family and Japan are about to invade Yanzhou and crush King Yan to pieces.

And he will join the Han family and become the vassal king guarding one side.

"By the way, my uncle said that the Han family is making plans with Japan to attack Yanzhou. It won't take long for the war between Qi and King Yan to break out."

"He asked us to organize our troops and horses, and then cooperate with the Qi army to contain King Yan's troops along the flanks. During this time, you ask the guards to capture more strong men and add them to our army. Then we will make a big noise. Some."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, even if you leave this matter to me, King Yan will be surprised when the time comes." Yuan Hang patted his chest and said.

The sixth prince nodded and showed a satisfied smile.

Sizhou, Luocheng.

When Ma Han received the imperial edict from Yanzhou, he summoned the elders of the Ma family.

Everyone now knows what happened in Jinling City, and the Ma family is no exception.

At the same time, he has been paying attention to the news of various powerful families after the chaos in Jinling City.

The Dou family established Nanliang, and the Xie family supported the eldest prince in Jinling to ascend the throne.

He knew clearly how the Han family established the State of Qi, the Liang family established the State of Wu, and the Fan family established the State of Pingnan.

Faced with this chaotic situation, he has been discussing the future of the Ma family with the elders of the Ma family recently.

"Elders, this is the imperial edict that was just sent, asking me to go to Yancheng, but the edict didn't say anything."

"In my opinion, this is what King Yan meant. What do you think we should do now?"

"This is strange. How can there be an imperial edict that doesn't explain the specific reason?" Ma Lan said.

His father was once the governor of Sizhou and died during Ma Jin's rebellion.

After Ma Han came back, he handed over Sizhou to Ma Han's jurisdiction.

"The last general thought that King Yan did it on purpose. He wanted to test the Ma family." Dianzhang said.

Although he is not from the Ma family, he was called to attend this family meeting because of his outstanding military exploits in the Ma family.

Ma Han nodded, "Dianzhang means the same as me. This is King Yan letting our Ma family make a choice again."

"Seven of the eight powerful families have betrayed Da Song. Our Ma family is not reliable. King Yan probably doesn't know what to do now."

"And since King Yan welcomes the emperor to Yancheng, it means that he will continue to maintain the orthodoxy of Dasong."

"In the future, there will definitely be conflicts with the imperial courts established by other powerful clans. Therefore, he definitely does not want our Ma family to fall to other powerful clans at a critical moment."

Hearing this, the clan elders nodded one after another.

A clan elder said: "This is troublesome. Although our Ma family has relied on King Yan during this period, the wealthy people under his command are very afraid of King Yan, fearing that they will end up like the wealthy people of Yanzhou in the future."

"That is, if we formally pledge allegiance to King Yan, we are afraid that the noble families under our command will rebel."

"..."

The clan elders all frowned as they spoke to each other.

Ma Han and Dian Zhang looked at each other with solemn expressions.

It is different from the cooperation with King Yan.

This time, what King Yan wants is not just a fluffy promise from his Ma family, but real actions.

But just as the clan elders were worried, if he formally pledged his allegiance to King Yan.

I am afraid that trouble will occur in Sizhou. This is really a dilemma.

"What is there to argue about? Now the King of Yan is the court, and the court is the King of Yan. Isn't it natural to be loyal to the King of Yan? Why, you also want to learn from other powerful clans in establishing a country?"

While the group was talking, a voice suddenly came into the lobby, and then Ma Yuan walked in.

After the powerful clans asked the sixth prince to take over Jinzhou, he was disheartened and unhappy. He fell ill, so he reported illness and returned to Sizhou to rest.

During this time, he has been staying in Los Angeles.

Just now, Ma Han sent someone to notify him to come to attend the meeting of clan elders.

His wife did not tell him about this because she was worried about his health.

He only found out about this because a servant let it slip.

So he held on his body and rushed over.

"Uncle." Ma Han immediately stood up and helped Ma Yuan to a chair and sat down.

Nowadays, among the Ma family elders, it can be said that Ma Yuan has the highest status and is highly respected.

When Ma Yuan said this, the clan elders were silent for a while.

But after all, this matter is related to the life and death of the Ma family.

Some clan elders still stood up and retorted, "No, King Yan is the King of Yan, and the emperor is the emperor. The emperor will not take away the land of the wealthy family and give it to the people, but the King of Yan will."

"It's okay for our Ma family to be loyal, unless King Yan promises not to touch our land in the future."

"What's the use of guarantees? If King Yan rules the world in the future, how can he allow our Ma family to act independently?"

Hearing this, Ma Yuan smiled coldly: "I think you want money rather than life. Based on my understanding of King Yan, he will not give our Ma family a chance to betray him. If we don't agree, within ten days, Yan The king's troops will arrive in Sizhou, and they won't be so polite."

The old man of the Ma family who stood up was speechless. He was stunned for a while and then sat down slumped.

Ma Yuan continued: "The Ma family today is no longer the Ma family it once was. If we choose the wrong path this time, our Ma family will be shattered to pieces."

In fact, Ma Han already had an idea in mind, but he couldn't act arbitrarily.

Now that Ma Yuan spoke up, he suddenly felt relieved. Facing many clan elders, he said, "Have you forgotten Qinzhou and Yongzhou? Besides King Yan, who can help our Ma family take them back."

"Even after the resumption, King Yan took back these two states in the name of the imperial court, but at least our Ma family is no longer the sinners of losing these two states."

"Also, the Ma family's muskets and artillery were provided by King Yan. Without King Yan to provide us with ammunition, these firearms would become scrap metal."

"Furthermore, if you don't have the protection of King Yan, do you think Nanliang will let go of our Ma family? I'm afraid he will be the first to attack our Ma family. Don't forget that it's him who is hiding in Sizhou today. Dou Wei harmed him."

Some clan elders lowered their heads, thinking that without the protection of King Yan, the Ma family would only be the fat in the eyes of other powerful clans in troubled times, and they suddenly felt a chill down their spines.

Seeing this, Ma Han struck while the iron was hot, "As for the problem of the wealthy family, I will discuss it with His Highness King Yan to find a solution."

The clan elders nodded one after another. Facing Ma Yuan and Ma Han, they basically agreed to the matter.

After agreeing on the matter, Ma Han set off for Yancheng the next day.

Going with him were his wife and their newborn son.
