Wang Youxiao said it in front of the civil and military officials of Chu State. When he said the words "call him King of Yan", you could hear needles dropping in the hall for a while.
The faces of the Dao Lord, Emperor, civil and military officials, and eunuchs all changed drastically, as if their hearts had been hit hard by a battering ram, and they were temporarily stunned.
This is a very serious political issue.
There is no king with a different surname in Chu. Whenever a dynasty declines, someone will start to claim the throne, and then the world will be in chaos.
At present, the overall situation in Chu State is not good because of the inaction of Emperor Daojun. But not to that point.
After the fall of Liaodong, the imperial court was able to find people like Xiong Wuwo, organize 80,000 elite troops, and sit at Shanhaiguan, waiting for opportunities.
It can be said that the centipede is dead but not stiff.
But if Wu Nian becomes king, it may be the last straw that breaks the Chu state.
Wu Nian was no idler, he was powerful in Liaodong. Everyone in the world knows him, no. The whole world knows him.
Whether it is Fusang, Chu State, Goguryeo, or Meng Yuan.
If such a big shot calls himself King Yan. It is enough to cause a huge earthquake, and then careerists of all kinds may spring up like mushrooms after a rain.
Today you are king, tomorrow I will be king.
Huang Chu might collapse.
"Traitor. How dare you?!!!!" Li Chunguang yelled angrily with his eyes splitting.
"Why don't you dare?" Wang Youxiao was not afraid. He raised his head and said with a sneer: "General Fu Han has made great contributions to the people of Liaodong. We, the people of Liaodong, are also willing to respect him as King of Yan."
"Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. Millions of Han people in Liaodong can't support a King of Yan?"
"Of course water can carry a boat. But you are talking big words. Do millions of people in Liaodong really support Wu Nian?" Wang Guifang frowned and said.
"I dare not say it is 100%, but at least 80%. My general led his troops to fight Xiong Wuwo, and the people, soldiers, and officials all gave strong support. I know, and you should know it too."
Wang Youxiao continued to sneer with his head raised. Immediately, he said impatiently: "Emperor, princes and ministers. Will you agree to my general's request or not?"
All civil and military officials in the dynasty were at a loss for words. Of course they all knew about this and were very surprised. It had only been a few years since Liaodong left Chu. However, the people of Yingqing Prefecture and Guangchuan Prefecture actually followed Wu Nian and became enemies of Chu State.
This really made them sad, but there was nothing they could do.
"Wang Youxiao. Do you know that if you say these words, you are no different from a traitor. The court can kill you immediately and destroy your nine tribes."
A middle-aged official stood up and said with a solemn expression.
"Before leaving, the general told me that if I died in Chudu, he would raise troops to avenge me." Wang Youxiao held his head high and his chest high, with a proud look on his face. Then he said: "As for the nine tribes. If it were not for the protection of the general, my whole family would have either been killed by the Meng Yuan people or starved to death."
"I gave the whole family a ride to repay the general's kindness, and I have no regrets."
"Besides, even with the capabilities of the Chu State, it is impossible to defeat my general. Let alone kill our nine tribes."
This middle-aged official was at a loss for words again, with a look of resentment on his face. There's really no way to refute it. Xiong Wuwo has already lost a battle.
Although everyone in Chu State is very confident in the long term. A martial artist like Wu Nian is a hero for a while, but sooner or later he will be ruined.
But at present, Chu State has nothing to do with Wu Nian.
To say anything forcefully, to send millions of troops to wipe out Wu Nian, is just a big talk that brings humiliation to oneself.
Since Wang Youxiao came in, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have suffered setbacks.
He was strong-willed by nature and had no fear of the kings and ministers of Chu. He was loyal to Wu Nian and blindly trusted Wu Nian's abilities.
The name is the envoy, but it actually refers to the sword pointing at the Chu court. You figure it out. Either hand over the families of Guan Jinhan and Huang Hu, or our general will become king.
When the news spreads all over the world, you will see how anxious your Chu country is.
He did not lose half of Wu Nian's prestige, but instead greatly increased Wu Nian's reputation.
That's right.
Wu Nian started out as a martial artist. But he is not a simple warrior, nor is he a short-lived hero. But those who are truly capable of stealing the country.
There are brave and capable captains under his command, as well as loyal ministers.
Plus the support of the people.
Wu Nian's threat is really, really big.
And if Wu Nian becomes king, his influence will be even greater.
Emperor Daojun's face remained ugly. He waved his hand and said to the eunuch: "Put this man under house arrest."
The eunuch nodded, and then said in a high-pitched voice: "Here comes Mr. Wang, please go down."
"yes."
A group of fully armed guards in front of the palace shouted in response, walked in, and stared at Wang Youxiao. After Wang Youxiao's "tongue-in-cheek battle with the Confucian scholars", he returned to his low-key nature, smiled slightly, and followed the guards in front of the palace calmly.
"Princes, what should we do now?" Emperor Daojun asked as soon as Wang Youxiao left.
"Your Majesty, Wu Nian is already too big to lose. We must not give him the family members of Guan Jinhan and Huang Hu. This is to endanger the enemy."
Second Assistant Li Chunguang took a deep breath and bowed sincerely.
"Master Li is right. The family members of Guan Jinhan and Huang Hu should be put under house arrest." Liu Changqing also nodded and immediately followed.
"What should we do if Wu Nian becomes king? Let's talk about it. There are rumors ahead. We don't understand what happened between Xiong Wuwo, Wu Jing and Wu Nian."
"Should we replace Xiong Wuwo and Wu Jing? What if Wu Nian attacks Nanhai Mansion when we change generals?"
"Guan Jinhan and Huang Hu are now in the hands of Wu Nian, and Wu Nian specially sent an envoy for them. I'm afraid these two people have reached an agreement with Wu Nian. As long as their family members are obtained, they will definitely surrender to Wu Nian."
"Such people are of no use to Huang Chu. It's better to give them to Wu Nian in exchange for Wu Nian not becoming king."
A gray-haired minister stood up, raised his hands and said.
"Wu Nian is a jackal. I think even if he doesn't become king now, he will become king sooner or later." Li Chunguang glanced at this man and said in a deep voice.
"Of course I also know this truth. But it would be good if Wu Nian could become king in a few years. Let's straighten out the internal affairs of Huangchu first. Let's discuss whether we should continue to use Xiong Wuwo."
"This way. When Wu Nian becomes king, we won't be caught off guard." The gray-haired minister said in a deep voice.
This is just the beginning. Regarding whether the family members of Guan Jinhan and Huang Hu should be sent to Liaodong. The civil and military officials in the main hall were noisy.
This is the state of Chu.
A good country, even if there are internal factions, can reach reconciliation under external pressure and drive in the same direction.
The Chu State seemed to have eight heads, pulling the cart and running wildly in eight directions, restraining each other and losing strength.
Giving the family members of Guan Jinhan and Huang Hu to Wu Nian is a sign of aiding the enemy. But it can be exchanged for Wu Nian not becoming king in a short time. Let the court have a buffer time.
If he doesn't send people there, Wu Nian will be crowned king immediately, and the world may be in chaos.
Maybe tomorrow there will be a man named Li Sheng who will come up and shout. "Princes, generals and prime ministers would rather have the seed."
How to choose? !
