Prince Yu's Mansion, lobby.
"Mr. Zhou, I hope you're fine, but you're worrying me to death..."
Seeing that Zhou Zhenwen had returned safely, Liang Youji hurriedly greeted him and said with concern.
"I took care of some small things. Now that I'm done with them, it's almost time to leave."
"There are also things for me to deal with in Qingzhou. It's really not appropriate to stay in King Yu City for too long..."
"Let's have a frank talk with Mr. Liang today."
Zhou Zhenwen looked at Liang Youji with a serious expression and said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Liang Youji frowned slightly, looked at Guishou aside, and gave him a look: What's going on?
The ghost's hands and eyes looked at his nose, and his nose looked at his heart. He turned a blind eye to Liang Youji's eyes.
"Um?"
Liang Youji raised his eyebrows. He didn't know what happened, but he had a vague guess in his heart.
He thought about it for a moment and said, "Master Zhou, just say it."
"good."
"Three conditions."
Zhou Zhenwen didn't waste any time and directly stated all the court's requirements and conditions:
"First, there must be court troops stationed in King Yu's fief, and the court has the right to interfere with things in the fief... King Yu's food consumption can be guaranteed, but other unnecessary expenses must be reduced... ....”
"Second, the fiefdom starts this year and must pay tribute to the court every year. After King Yu has an heir, he will be sent to the capital to study in Taixue Palace..."
"The third one, from now on, the descendants of King Yu will be inherited from one person to jointly inherited by the eldest son, second son and third son..."
Three conditions are extremely harsh.
To put it simply, it means garrisoning troops, paying tribute, protons, and extending grace orders.
With this combination of punches, the feudal king's power was directly crushed to death, leaving no room for resistance.
Among them, the most stringent condition is the withdrawal of favor order, which seems to have little impact now.
Separate inheritance was changed to joint inheritance among three sons...
It seems that it is just a modified inheritance right, but in fact, this is a very terrible killing move. Brothers build walls and never interact with each other until old age and death. Even in the later stage, the vassal territory will become in pieces and everyone will be completely wiped out.
Uncle Liu Huang is the most obvious example.
"Zhou...Mr. Zhou, these conditions are too harsh!!" Liang Youji was not a fool. On the contrary, he was very smart. He figured out the key to it all at once, and his face became extremely ugly.
If he agrees, he might as well not be the King of Yu. He is simply restricted to death. From now on, future generations will probably have to be slaves of the imperial court for generations to come.
This is not a vassal king, he is simply a slave! !
"So what do you want?"
Zhou Zhenwen looked at Liang Youji and asked.
"Master Zhou, I can agree to the first point of garrisoning troops, but the imperial court has the right to interfere in the affairs of the fief. Isn't this too much?"
"Since ancient times, fiefdoms have been managed by vassal kings. I'm afraid it's a bit against the rules for the imperial court to directly manage fiefdoms?"
The first thing Liang Youji raised was the issue of management rights.
This is something he cannot accept under any circumstances. Even if there are troops stationed by the imperial court, he is still the King of Yu and controls the fiefdom. But if the troops are released and the management rights are released, then he, the King of Yu, will probably be emptied out in the future. .
Is this tantamount to interfering in the internal affairs of his vassal country?
"The fiefdom also belongs to the imperial court, and the imperial court has the right to manage it. Is there any problem?" Although Zhou Zhenwen's tone was calm, there was an unquestionable flavor in his words.
"I will send someone to discuss the specific details. Today, I only want an answer from you. Do you agree?"
"If that's the case, then please forgive me..."
Seeing Zhou Zhenwen's tough attitude, Liang Youji couldn't bear it. He bowed his hand and was about to refuse...
At this moment, a slightly graceful female voice sounded.
"Master Zhou, I agree."
Two figures walked in slowly.
One person is elegant and well-dressed.
One man was dressed in fine clothes and looked honest and simple.
Astonishingly, it was Princess Liu and Liang Youzhen.
"Do you agree?" Zhou Zhenwen looked at Ms. Liu.
Mrs. Liu smiled happily: "Since Liang Youji disagrees, then I will accept this matter."
"Ms. Liu, it's not your turn to speak here!!" Liang Youji's expression changed and he scolded.
Mrs. Liu turned to look at Liang Youji and sneered: "Haha, you don't even call me Princess anymore? There are no rules!! I am your mistress. When did it become your turn to be the master of the House of Prince Yu as a bastard?"
"Ms. Liu, don't make it difficult for yourself!!" Liang Youji also completely broke his face, "If you don't understand current affairs, don't blame me!!"
"how?"
"Do you still want to kill me?"
Mrs. Liu was not afraid at all and glared at Liang Youji: "In front of Mr. Zhou, do you dare to touch me?"
Ding Yuanying is back.
He said that from now on, he would have nothing to do with Dafang anymore, Zhou Zhenwen should not be provoked, he had already dealt with him, and that was the end of the matter.
Ding Yuanying left.
Mrs. Liu is a smart person. From Ding Yuanying's attitude, she understood one thing, that is, her little cleverness was seen through by Zhou Zhenwen.
Moreover, there was an extremely terrifying force behind Zhou Zhenwen, which made Ding Yuanying fearful and did not dare to provoke him.
Because he understood this, Mrs. Liu rushed here immediately after knowing that Zhou Zhenwen had returned safely.
Liu naturally understood that the conditions proposed by Zhou Zhenwen were extremely harsh, but compared to the outcome after defeat, Liu felt that she could completely accept it.
As for whether the Liang family's descendants are dead or alive, she can't see it, so what does it have to do with her?
"Ms. Liu, you are really looking for death..." Liang Youji's eyes were like lightning, and the murderous intent in his eyes was undisguised and extremely naked.
"You are not worthy of the position of King Yu!!" Mrs. Liu was too lazy to cover up and said directly: "You are not qualified!!!"
"You're talking nonsense!!"
Liang Youji looked extremely ugly and shouted: "I am the son of my father, and it is only natural that I should inherit the throne. It is in line with the times. How come you want to inherit the throne even if you find a random bastard? Are you dreaming!! "
"Even if I die, I will not let the bastard you brought back become King Yu!!"
After saying that, Liang Youji turned to look at Zhou Zhenwen and said in a deep voice: "Zhou Shoufu, I agree to your terms, what else do you need me to do?"
"Okay, I'll go back and prepare the paperwork. You sign and seal it. You can handle the affairs of the palace by yourself and inherit the throne as soon as possible. I shouldn't need to teach you about this!!" Zhou Zhenwen nodded and explained.
"Master Zhou, give me a chance, I beg you." Liang Youzhi's expression changed and he spoke quickly.
Zhou Zhenwen shook his head: "You are unlucky. If you are not found, you may still be able to live a peaceful life. Now...it's difficult..."
Zhou Zhenwen ignored the two people who were in despair and left the palace directly.
The next day, news came out from the palace that the princess was suffering from a serious illness, and Liang Youzhen was missing...
"With Liang Youji's character, I'm afraid the fate of Liu and Liang Youzhen will not be too good..." After Shangguan Yu heard the news, he shook his head, as if he had seen the death of the two people.
"To be precise, when the Liu family found Liang Youzhen and wanted to support Liang Youzhen to rise to power, the outcome was already doomed." Zhou Zhenwen said.
"Yes! The battle for the throne, the battle for the throne, is the most cruel. There is only one winner, and the fate of the others has already been determined. This is a battle that can only be won, not lost. If you want to earn glory and wealth, just You need to pay a corresponding price!!" Shangguan Yu sighed.
