Jinshui County, in the military tent of King Pingxi.
Nie Chen put down the note in his hand and said with a livid face,
“King Zhennan actually entered the capital, killed Tong Yuan and Sima Luan, forced the emperor to death, and also killed all the royal members.
Now, it is announced that it is looking for the surviving royal family and wants to establish a new king. "
"What?!"
Everyone was shocked and looked at Nie Chen in disbelief.
Weng Qiuchan said angrily,
"This King of Zhennan is so ambitious that he actually committed regicide. Isn't he afraid that everyone in the world will punish him?"
Li Ze also said angrily,
"Rebellious ministers and traitors! Rebellious ministers and traitors! He actually... actually did such a treasonous and unethical thing. He should be cut into pieces with a thousand knives, his nine tribes should be punished, and he should be infamy for thousands of years!"
Ouyang Ming smiled lightly and said,
"The King of Zhennan is really courageous. I think that in a few days, he will ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. When the time comes, what will we do?"
"Ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor?"
Li Ze looked at Ouyang Ming in surprise and said,
"No way. After he killed the king, did he still want to usurp the country? This is to destroy Zuohe, the country of Dafeng.
No, no, if he wants to ascend the throne and become emperor, why should he look for the surviving royal members?
He probably wanted to support the new king to ascend to power and then control the government, right? "
Nie Chen sneered and said,
"He just wants to be a bitch and build a memorial arch. If he wants to hold the emperor hostage, then why bother to kill all the royal family? Wouldn't it be better to just choose an easy-to-control supporter from the royal family? If not If you obey, kill him and replace him with another one.
He just wanted to be the emperor, so he would first kill all the members of the royal family, and then put all the shit on the heads of Tong Yuan and Sima Luan.
He himself was the hero, and then he pretended to look for the surviving royal members, but he definitely couldn't find them.
What to do then? A country can't live without a king for a day. Hundreds of officials will persuade him to join and ask him to proclaim himself emperor. Then he will refuse twice. The third time he will pretend to be sorry and agree, and then bury the late emperor with a lavish burial.
After all the tricks are done, it's time to ascend the throne.
He wanted to be the emperor, but he didn't want to be accused of rebellion and treason, so he had no choice but to do this. When the time comes, his throne will be passed down to the previous emperor.
This guy is so scheming and does everything right. Even if everyone knows that he is treasonous and treasonous, there is no evidence to accuse him. "
Hearing this, Li Ze sighed heavily and slumped down on the stool, as if all his strength had been drained away.
He was loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but now that the emperor was dead and the country was about to perish, the pain in his heart could no longer be described in words.
The generals and some of King Pingxi's advisers cursed King Zhennan for being shameless and committing regicide.
Ouyang Ming smiled and said,
"Everyone, please stop arguing. King Zhennan has already taken care of the matter. What matters now is what we should do."
King Pingxi looked at Nie Chen, and when he was about to speak, Nie Chen suddenly asked,
"My lord, what do you think about this matter?"
King Pingxi had a sneer on his lips and said,
"I was about to ask you, but you asked me again?"
Ouyang Ming stood up, tapped his palms with his fan, and said slowly,
"Your Majesty, now that King Zhennan has rebelled and ascended the throne, there are only three paths before the kings.
The first one is a bad idea.
Silently and continuing to be king, this is tantamount to recognizing the legitimacy of King Zhennan's throne. The emperor above the heads of the kings is just a different person.
However, with the character of King Zhennan, he will definitely not be as easy to bully as the late emperor. Next, he will launch a crusade against you as a legitimate emperor.
Article 2 is the middle policy!
The other three kings also followed suit and proclaimed themselves emperors. They established territories in their respective regions, ascended the throne and proclaimed themselves emperors, and changed the year and year. From then on, Dafeng split into four parts and continued to fight internally.
Overall, it was pretty much the same as before, except that there was one less emperor above the head.
Article 3 is the best policy!
The kings still call themselves Fengchen, and then publicly declare that King Zhennan is a treasonous regicide, support members of the royal family to ascend the throne and proclaim themselves emperors, continue to use the name of the country of Dafeng, continue my country Zuo of Dafeng, and conquer the rebellious King of Zhennan! "
After Ouyang Ming finished speaking, everyone looked at King Pingxi.
King Pingxi remained silent, thinking and analyzing quickly in his mind.
The people under King Pingxi did not dare to say anything, for fear of not guessing King Pingxi's thoughts correctly and making the prince angry.
It's really hard for them to speak on such important matters related to the country and the throne.
Who knows whether King Pingxi wants to stand still, or whether he wants to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, or whether he wants to be loyal and loyal.
King Pingxi turned to look at Mr. Jin and asked,
"Mr. Jin, what do you think?"
For such a big matter, King Pingxi naturally wanted to listen to the opinions of his advisers.
Mr. Jin smiled and stood up.
"Hahaha, I originally thought that Zhennan Wang Mingxuan was a hero, but now it seems that he is a fool, so stupid!"
"Your Majesty, what we want to think about now is not what we should do, but what we should do in this situation to be more beneficial to us!"
Mr. Jin continued,
"Mr. Ouyang just said the three strategies of upper, middle and lower. In my opinion, every word of what he said is absolutely right.
The King of Zhennan is seeking his own destruction. He dares to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor before he has unified the world. If he does this, except for his soldiers, all other people will not obey him.
Prince, you can continue reading. Soon, the whole country will be filled with resentment, and there will be an endless stream of voices criticizing the King of Zhennan.
And whoever can seize this opportunity will be able to seize the hearts of the people.
I, Dafeng, have been a country for five hundred years, which can be said to be the longest among the four countries.
Over the past five hundred years, my subjects, Dafeng, have already engraved the name Feng Ren into their bones.
Together we will fight against the national calamity, restore our mountains and rivers, wrap our bodies in horse leather, and make our heroes triumphant! "
"These sixteen words have long been engraved in the bones of the old Feng people. People have become accustomed to calling themselves Feng people and are proud of the name of Feng country.
At this time, King Zhennan rebelled and proclaimed himself emperor. He was risking the disapproval of the world, challenging the bottom line of all Feng people, and challenging the dignity of thousands of Feng people!
As Mr. Ouyang said, standing still and doing nothing is the worst policy. It will only disappoint the old people, miss this opportunity to win the hearts and minds of the people, and then be devoured by the King of Zhennan in the name of unifying the world!
Ascension to the throne and proclaiming himself emperor is the best strategy. If the four kings ascend the throne and proclaim themselves emperor, the people of the country will strongly resent the four kings. At that time, it will be even more difficult to pay taxes or recruit troops.
Moreover, the entire country will fall into endless civil strife, and foreign enemies will definitely take the opportunity to invade. When the time comes, the country will be destroyed and our family will be destroyed, and our land will definitely be divided up by the Sichuan State, Qi State, and the barbarians! "
