After a pause, King Anton continued,
"Every one of my king's troops is loyal to me. Even if they are given to His Majesty, they will inevitably cause trouble to Your Majesty. Therefore, you should leave them to me to raise them myself.
We have already lent out 150,000 troops before, but I do not have any extra troops to lend to Your Majesty. "
King Zhennan looked at King Pingxi and said,
"Chen Wujiang, please say something. What should we do about this matter?"
"Just do whatever you have to do, and whatever you did before, you will do in the future."
Obviously, King Pingxi did not intend to hand over his troops.
In fact, asking about this matter is in vain. No one is a fool, and no one will honestly hand over his troops to others.
Zhennan Wang Youyou said,
"It's too much to deceive others, it's too much to deceive others. I am over fifty this year, and I am already at the age when I know my destiny. However, I have been framed by the right prime minister and the general as having treason. It is a shame. This is a great shame and humiliation!
I really want to crash to death in this Golden Palace, so that Your Majesty can see whether my heart is truly loyal! "
"What? Brother Ming Wang can't swallow this breath? What can you do?"
King Anton said sarcastically.
"How? Yes, how?"
The King of Zhennan sighed leisurely.
Then, after leaving the palace gate, he got into his carriage.
After the kings said their goodbyes, they all got into their carriages.
Nie Chen got into the car with Weng Qiuchan, Ouyang Ming and Zhou An, and the car followed King Pingxi's carriage towards the palace.
Zhou An asked first,
"Lord, what happened in the main hall just now? We have military power and rebels. Are we going to rebel?"
Looking at Zhou An who was full of excitement, Nie Chen smiled bitterly and said,
"How can we rebel? We are Dafeng Zhongliang. We were at the banquet just now, were you full?"
"I'm full, haha. The emperor is not a good person, but he is still in charge of food. I didn't have enough to eat, so I asked the eunuch for another."
"Just eat enough. There may be a big battle tonight, so be prepared."
Ouyang Ming also sighed,
"Yes, anyone can see that the capital is about to change.
The emperor wants to seize power and cut down the vassals, and all the kings have their own evil intentions. The city is about to be in chaos. We are alone, so we should stay away from this whirlpool as soon as possible. "
"Ouyang, what do you think of today's events?"
"How else can we look at it? Isn't everything already clear? It's all on the surface.
The idea of the emperor and the right minister cannot be said to be a bad idea. It can only be said that according to the current national conditions, this is the only way. We can only compromise in this way and cannot blindly seize power.
However, both the emperor and the right minister misjudged one thing, misjudged people's desire for power, and misjudged the importance of people's hearts in the hearts of kings.
He even misestimated the importance of military power to the kings, and also misestimated the status of the lords of each family in the hearts of the soldiers.
For the emperor, if he does nothing, he can only watch the Feng Kingdom decline day by day.
For the kings, once the royal family's military strength exceeds theirs, it will be a disaster for them.
For soldiers, it is even simpler. They know who gives them food and money, and who they should work for.
It can only be said that the emperor sits too high and is located deep in the palace, so he does not understand the thoughts of the bottom. "
Nie Chen then asked,
"In view of the current national conditions, Ouyang, what do you think should be done to save the country? Do you have any good strategies?"
Ouyang Ming opened his fan and said slowly,
"There is, and there is only one way."
"Oh? What can I do?"
"Throw everything over and start over again! A hero will emerge, sweep all sides, unify the wind, and establish a new king.
Destroy the nobles, exterminate the clans, overthrow everything, rebuild the court, and establish a wise king. Only then can everything be ruined and the country be reborn. "
What Ouyang Ming said was striking and enlightening.
Nie Chen nodded and said,
"Yes, Da Feng is already terminally ill. The old nobles, new clans, and various forces are like maggots attached to the bones, eating away at the last vitality of this country.
Only new forces like our Heping Xiwang, without any new forces from families or nobles, can uproot everything and create a bright future. "
Weng Qiuchan frowned and said,
"But... I don't know much, but I also know that whether you are an emperor or a king, if you want to govern your people, you need the support of those noble families.
They have high prestige among the people everywhere and are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. If they do not support it, fool the people and encourage the people not to listen to us, it will have a great impact on our rule. "
Nie Chen sighed when he heard this. Yes, in history, who was as powerful as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Wu of the Wei Dynasty without the support of the powerful noble families? The prestige of these noble families among the people was too deep.
Although they tried their best to weaken and balance, no one dared to cut off all the noble clans, so they had no choice but to accept it. In the end, the kingdoms conquered by Emperor Wei Wu were also taken away by the Sima clan, the noble clan under his rule.
Ouyang Ming smiled and said,
"Madam, you know quite a lot. It's not so absolute that it's one size fits all. Kill the big ones and keep the small ones. Important positions must be controlled by our own people.
Those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish. Supporting one's own power is the most important.
People, it's easy to solve these things. Take your time and don't be hasty. Zhou Ping and I will handle it. "
Zhou An also smiled and said,
"Yes, with the skills of my eldest brother and senior brother Ouyang, they will assist the lord and there won't be any trouble. Madam, please just put your mind at ease."
The carriage came to Prince Pingxi's Mansion with great speed. Prince Pingxi's first words after getting off the car were,
"Send a message to the army outside the city and form a formation at the west gate to pick us up and leave the city.
You guys pack your bags quickly, we're leaving the city overnight, we can't stay in this capital any longer! "
The red armored guards sent a message to the army outside the city, and the shadow guards also sent a message to Lin Guangfei Ge to mobilize the army.
A few days ago, Lin Guang took Li Ze and his daughter out of the capital and went to the camp outside the city to command the troops.
This was the purpose of Nie Chen bringing Lin Guang here.
They did this to put pressure on the emperor and the generals guarding the city so that they would not dare to force themselves to stay.
Not only King Pingxi and Nie Chen did this, but the other three kings were also packing their luggage overnight and sending messages to the army outside the city.
All the kings did this in unison, because everyone knew that it was not enough to exert pressure on their own. Before leaving the city, the kings also needed to work together to threaten the emperor to ensure their own safety.
Around the imperial city, armies from all sides set out overnight, holding densely packed torches, and lined up at the gates of the city.
At the same time, the generals and soldiers guarding the four cities all became nervous...
