royal palace.
Ning Fan and the uncles arrived at Emperor Yu's palace. Concubine Xian was standing in front of the palace, obviously waiting for everyone.
"Mother concubine!"
"Um!"
Concubine Xian nodded slightly, her eyes swept over Ning Fan's body, and then looked at the kings: "Everyone, Your Majesty has been waiting in the courtyard for a long time. You can go in directly!"
All the feudal lords looked at each other, with a bit of hesitation on their faces.
The harem has been a forbidden area for foreign ministers since ancient times. Even if they are the emperor's brothers, they dare not violate this taboo.
Now, Emperor Yu is meeting them in the harem. Is there a hidden plot?
"Walk!"
While the princes were hesitating, Ning Fan stepped into the palace without hesitation. The other vassal kings hesitated for a moment, then gritted their teeth and followed.
After entering the palace, there were exquisite attics scattered everywhere. On the open space in the courtyard, a middle-aged man in ordinary clothes was seen sweating profusely and waving a hoe.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty?"
Emperor Yu also had a gentle smile on his face when he saw everyone visiting. He grabbed the towel hanging around his neck and wiped the sweat on his face.
"coming……"
"My lord, please see your Majesty!"
"Okay, my brothers, no need to be polite!"
"There are no outsiders here. Go to the pavilion and wait for a while while I go take a bath and change clothes."
"promise!"
Ning Fan saw that Emperor Yu's clothes were soaked with sweat and couldn't help but marveled: "Father, what are you doing?"
"Remembering the bitter and remembering the sweet?"
"This hoe does not suit your status. I will ask someone to make a golden hoe for you later!"
"Asshole!"
Emperor Yu had black streaks all over his head. Since all the vassal kings were here, he just scolded him without saying much.
After a while, Emperor Yu changed into clean clothes, also a simple white gown. He looked like an elegant scholar, and he also exuded a certain affinity that was beyond ordinary people.
"His Majesty!"
Everyone stood up one after another, with a look of respect from the bottom of their hearts on their faces.
"Fourth, seventh and eleventh, haven't we seen each other for some years?"
"Yes, brother Huang, it's been at least seven or eight years."
"Well, do you know why I called you back to Beijing this time?"
"Brother Emperor, I, Luoyi, can offer you 30,000 elite soldiers and 150,000 stones of food and grass!"
When Emperor Yu heard this, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and then he looked at the other vassal kings.
"Brother Emperor, I, Jiuyang, have been relatively stable in the past few years. I can offer you 50,000 elite soldiers, 300,000 taels of silver, and 300,000 shi of food and grass!"
"Brother Imperial, the past few years have been going well for us in Quzhou. However, I have recently prepared to encircle and suppress banditry in the territory. In terms of soldiers, we only have 10,000 soldiers, 30,000 good horses, and 300,000 taels of gold and silver!"
"Brother Chen is almost the same!"
As the figures spoke one after another, although Ning Fan's face was calm, he was extremely surprised in his heart. The Jin Yiwei supervises the world, which naturally includes these vassal kings, but Jiang Wei has never told himself that these veteran The feudal king actually has such a background.
The eight vassal kings combined could gather 200,000 elite soldiers, one million taels of gold and silver, and 1.2 million dan of grain and grass!
Emperor Yu seemed to have expected it, his expression was extremely calm, and even the negotiation process between the two parties was very smooth, and they achieved their goals while talking and laughing.
"Second dick!"
"Father!"
"Your imperial uncles have not been to the capital for many years. I have been ill during this period, so you should treat me well on my behalf!"
"Father, don't worry. I will definitely let you all have good food, drinks and fun. Fengxiang Tower has already been purchased by me. Not long ago, I also spent a lot of money to buy some top quality products from the Western Regions..."
"Bastard thing!"
Emperor Yu's calm face suddenly became filled with thunderous fury. He looked at Ning Fan with a cannibalistic gaze and gritted his teeth and said, "Are you going to entertain your uncle like this?"
"Father, my son and I understand."
"Uncles, you will grow stronger with age. A man will remain a boy until he dies!"
"Isn't that right, Uncle Four Emperors!"
"Hahaha, His Highness King Yong has a charming temperament. Brother Emperor, you don't have to be too harsh. My brother is really good at this."
Emperor Yu suddenly became speechless and waved his hand: "Okay, you can stay in Beijing for a few days and then go back. There is still a lot of mess above the place. Now I, Dayu, is in a precarious situation, and I am also a little exhausted mentally and physically. I have to rely on you all. Brothers, let’s protect our Ning clan together!”
"Brother Imperial, you are serious, they are all members of our family!"
"Yes, brother Huang, what can one family say to two families?"
"My brother, I'll take my leave first!"
After all the vassal kings left, Emperor Yu waved to Ning Fan and motioned for him to sit in front of him.
"Why, are you so surprised to see you look like this?"
"A little!"
"Haha, these old foxes have been entrenched in their respective fiefdoms for so many years, so they should have some foundation."
"All the royal uncles are very honest!"
"Do you think everyone is like you, a monkey spirit?"
"hey-hey!"
Ning Fan smiled coquettishly, and Emperor Yu's face showed an unprecedented depth: "They are not fools. I, Dayu, are about to enter the great battle of the world, and they will not understand the truth that no eggs will be left intact even if the nest is overthrown!"
"Besides, I have not treated them badly over the years. I have also turned a blind eye to what they did in the fiefdom."
"Now that it's time for me to use them, since I have opened my mouth to them, there is no room for rejection!"
"Father is wise!"
"Tell me, how is the situation between North Korea and China these days?"
"Everything is proceeding step by step. The northern counties have been gradually restored and reconstructed, and the military reform and the departments in the three provinces are also gradually improved!"
"My son has ordered Yue Fei to go to the north and rebuild the defense line!"
"Um!"
Emperor Yu nodded slightly and said softly: "I heard that Su Gaiwen's 70,000 cavalry were wiped out by the Xun'an Army?"
"good!"
"Do you suspect that it was Lao Liu who did it?"
"It's not doubt, it's certainty!"
"oh?"
Emperor Yu's face also showed a bit of surprise, and he asked playfully: "Does the sixth man have such strength?"
"Father, do you believe that he can still drive him off the golden throne?"
"Do not believe!"
Emperor Yu shook his head seriously and said with a smile: "Second brother, I will teach you something again today. What you see in your eyes may not be true."
"There are people outside the world, and there is a God outside the world. Don't be blindly confident and aim too high!"
"My son understands!"
"Okay, with you at the court, I can live a stable life. Let your people open the city gate at midnight tonight!"
"Um?"
Ning Fan was about to ask a question when he saw Emperor Yu wave his hand and walk towards his piece of land again: "Go back, don't delay my farming!"
"Father, how about I demolish the palace for you and leave a few acres of land for you?"
"roll!"
After walking out of Emperor Yu's palace, Ning Fan's expression became extremely dark. The Dog Emperor was beating him!
