Dynasty Call: Low-key Struggle for Hegemony

Soon the news that Chu Jun Yan Li Yuan was granted the title of King of Chu and that the land of the entire government was granted as a fief spread throughout the palace and spread outside Kyoto.

"Become King of Chu and have a single palace!" In Jingyao Palace, Li Yao gritted his teeth and his eyes were filled with jealousy.

This originally belonged to him!

But Chu Qingyan didn’t choose.

Why not choose me!

Choose me to be your husband, I will agree!

Now Li Yao regrets it. It's okay to marry Chu Qingyan. He shouldn't have chosen Chu Junyan.

"Okay, Yao'er, put your thoughts aside. The situation has been decided. It's only a few days until you turn sixteen. What you have to do now is to wait for the upcoming opening of the mansion."

Concubine Lin had already set off to find Emperor Yu, but when she learned that King Yu had summoned Li Yuan on the way, she already knew Emperor Yu's decision, so she changed direction and came to Jingyao Palace.

"Mother and concubine, my son and I are not convinced. Why is it Li Yuan? In terms of ability and power, I am not better than him. Why did my father agree to Chu Junyan?"

The size of the fiefdom Emperor Yu granted Li Yuan was so great that Li Yao's heart hurt.

"Okay, don't regret what happened in the past, it will make you lose your mind, look forward!"

………………

"Lingyang Mansion, my father has such great courage, do you plan to give it to Zhenguo Mansion?"

In Prince Xuan's palace, the hands in Prince Xuan's sleeves were clenched and turned white, showing his inner unrest.

Several counselors around him analyzed:

"Lingzhou straddles Yuanzhou and is a large border state of the Yu Dynasty. The people of Lingzhou are strong and fierce. The war twenty years ago led to the expansion of the three major forces in Lingzhou and serious banditry. The imperial court ordered Lingzhou to suppress bandits many times. Every time This effort was in vain, and secretly the three major forces joined forces to pervert the imperial court."

One of the counselors took a step forward, stroked his long beard, and said with a smile: "What's more important is that the three major forces have been resentful against the Zhenguo government for a long time. In the past twenty years, the Yu Dynasty has been peaceful for too long, and the strength of each force has become hazy. , His Majesty used the Zhenguo Mansion to fight against the three major forces, and wanted to see what kind of strength they could unleash and how many trump cards they had."

"One move will affect the overall situation. No force can be exempted. The Yu Dynasty will be in chaos!"

Another counselor, who was thin and had unusually bright eyes, looked at each other and smiled.

Anyone who immediately gets the information about Chu Junyan's morning court today will pay attention to where Emperor Yu's fiefdom is for Li Yuan.

They all know Emperor Yu's character, he is resolute and decisive, and since the matter has been decided, it will not be postponed until the next day.

In Prince Ming's Mansion, whistling sounds came from the martial arts training ground.

King Ming was dressed in military uniform and brandished a spear in his hand. The spear roared like thunder.

Next to the martial arts training ground, there were also two counselors talking about Emperor Yu's reward.

"You tell me, my father put Lao Wu in such a dangerous place, aren't you afraid of something happening to Lao Wu?"

call out!

The spear spun in the air and stabbed into place.

When the servant next to him saw that King Ming had finished practicing martial arts, he quickly handed over a white towel to wipe his sweat.

The two counselors looked at each other, and one of them smiled:

"Your Highness, on the contrary, His Highness King Chu is the safest in Lingzhou."

"Oh, tell me."

King Ming was tall and burly, and he picked up a white towel and wiped the sweat on his forehead.

He has been practicing since morning.

Another counselor gently twisted his mustache with his fingers and said slowly:

"This is your Majesty's cleverness. The three major forces in Lingzhou have been resentful against the Zhenguo Mansion for a long time. It is impossible for them to cooperate with the Zhenguo Mansion. However, His Highness the King of Chu and Chu Qingyan came to Lingzhou to monopolize the land. His Highness the King of Chu will It was difficult for them to guess whether Chu Qingyan would make any moves, but they didn't dare to gamble on whether Chu Qingyan would make any moves secretly.

Therefore, they would not sit idly by and could only take action to deal with Chu Qingyan.

In this way, it is impossible for the Zhenguo Government not to take action! "

King Ming put down the towel and nodded, understanding the meaning.

The father's will is clear. The three major forces dare to take action against Chu Qingyan, but they cannot provoke Li Yuan, who is a member of the royal family.

They were deeply afraid that the Zhenguo Mansion and the imperial court would attack them together.

………………

"It's just that King Chu's fiefdom is a bit big."

The counselors in Prince Yu's palace were also discussing this matter. Prince Yu, who was dressed in white clothes and was spotless, heard one of the counselors sigh and said disdainfully:

"The fiefdom is large, but it doesn't mean that Lao Wu can control it. It is a burden for Lao Wu. The real battle in Lingzhou is between the Zhenguo Mansion and the three major forces."

"This is my father's conspiracy. Haha, don't they want to add fuel to the flames of the struggle between the royal family and the Zhenguo Mansion? They forced the Zhenguo Mansion to marry their daughter, so my father put Chu Qingyan in Lingzhou. The anger of the Zhenguo Mansion and the three major With the hatred of the forces, Lingzhou will become very exciting!"

"But Your Highness, what if the three major forces temporarily put aside their inner hatred and cooperate with the Zhenguo government?" asked a younger soldier.

Without waiting for King Yu to answer, the counselor next to him said:

"Impossible. Lingzhou has always been regarded as their territory by the three major forces. Now the Zhenguo government wants to tear off a piece of flesh from their territory. How can they agree!"

"The long-standing hatred and conflict of interests. If the three major forces can let go of this, I can take a high look at them. Unfortunately, many people are not willing to see them coexisting peacefully."

…………

In Yujing College, Chu Junyan has returned to Chu Qingyan’s residence.

"In the land of one government, His Majesty Emperor Yu is so courageous!"

Chu Qingyan was slightly sarcastic.

Chu Junyan's expression was cold and her eyes were calm as she said:

"The bigger the fiefdom is, the more it will arouse the conflict between the three major forces against us. If it weren't for the fear of causing collective resistance from all the forces, I wouldn't be surprised if Emperor Yu even granted Li Yuan a fiefdom in a state."

Chu Junyan turned to look at Chu Qingyan and said softly:

"Qingyan, are you ready?"

Chu Qingyan nodded and said confidently: "We have been prepared for a long time. Didn't we already guess what happened in the Lingzhou fiefdom?"

Chu Junyan continued: "I have sent three thousand elites to wait in Yuanzhou before I come. When you arrive in Yuanzhou, you can summon them. As for your safety, don't worry too much."

All the powerful families in this world have a bottom line, that is, they cannot send more than one powerful person to attack and kill their descendants. If they are discovered, they will be resisted and excluded by all the families!

Otherwise, if you assassinate the younger generation of other forces today, and tomorrow they assassinate the younger generation of your force, the whole world will still be in chaos.

Therefore, this unspoken rule must be observed and maintained by all forces and families.

Of course, this is just force, but the difference in territorial advantages is inevitable.

The battles between various forces within the dynasty have a default unspoken rule. If the fight is between the younger generation, the younger generation will usually fight it. Firstly, it is to train the younger generation, and secondly, it is also a way to save face.

Unless you want to really break your skin and fight other forces to the death, you can break this unspoken rule.

And the most important thing about the unspoken rules is that they must be on equal footing to abide by this rule.

For example, to put it simply, when you guess that there is an unfathomable ancestor behind your power, it is best for your ancestor to exist!
