"Everyone, this time His Highness King Yan takes action personally, and the target is the forces of those families in Xijiang City. As His Highness King Yan, we naturally follow them to the border areas."
"At that time, His Highness King Yan will send a general, General Guo Kai, to lead five thousand soldiers to escort us to the borderland."
"With the escort of these five thousand soldiers, we will naturally have peace of mind along the way."
When Yi Xiang said this, the patriarchs of the wealthy families below immediately fell silent.
Of course they understood what Yi Xiang meant by what he said, that is, this migration was already a certainty.
Without the commitment of Yi Xiang and others and King Yan, these people would never agree to go to the border area.
But now that Yi Xiang and others and King Yan have given enough guarantees and sincerity, these people naturally have to weigh the pros and cons.
They were all human beings, and soon someone stood up and said.
"Since Mr. Yi and His Highness Prince Yan have said so, we naturally have no objections."
"Yes, yes, we also agree with migration."
"His Royal Highness King Yan is the capital of the country. Since he has made such a decision, we naturally believe it."
The patriarchs of these wealthy families all expressed their support for the migration.
They are all human beings. Since Yi Xiang and others and King Yan have given so much guarantee and sincerity, they will naturally not let this opportunity go easily.
What's more, if they can follow King Yan to the border areas to expand their power, then they can go one step further.
Although they are already a top wealthy family in the capital, their strength is still not enough in the larger Zhou Dynasty.
This opportunity is really important to them.
Seeing that these people all agreed to the migration, Yi Xiang breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew very well that although these people agreed to the migration on the surface, they were actually wary of each other.
There are many conflicts among these wealthy families. Although people with five surnames and seven hopes are acting together this time, various problems will definitely occur along the way.
This is one of the reasons why Yi Xiang and others and His Highness King Yan must send a large army to escort them.
"Now that everyone agrees on the migration, let's set off."
Soon, the people with the fifth surname and Qi Wang began to take action.
They were divided into three teams, two of which were responsible for recruiting supplies and people from various places, while the other team stayed behind to pack their bags and prepare various supplies.
King Ye Tianze of Yan sent an elite cavalry force of 5,000 people to escort them to the border areas.
This cavalry is the personal guard of King Yan. Each soldier is one of the best in a hundred and is very powerful.
While the people of the Five Surnames and Qiwang were busy preparing to migrate, another force in the capital was also busy preparing.
This force is the imperial palace of Zhou Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, do we also need to prepare?"
In the Great Zhou Palace, a middle-aged man wearing a brown robe asked.
This man looked gentle and gentle, but there was a cunning light in his eyes.
He is Sun Hao, the chief eunuch of the Zhou Dynasty, and one of the most powerful figures in the palace.
Emperor Zhou Wei, who was sitting on the dragon throne, also frowned and said.
"This matter is a bit tricky."
"Those people from the Five Surnames and Qiwang have always thought highly of themselves, but this time they were forced by King Yan to leave the capital. It is really unbelievable."
"Moreover, if they really leave the capital, then our position in the capital will be in jeopardy."
The emperor also understood the stakes of this matter, and he also knew very well that if the person with the fifth surname and Qi Wang left the capital, his status in the capital would really be unsafe.
Originally, people with the fifth surname and Qi Wang were the top wealthy families in the capital, and their strength and influence were very powerful.
If they leave the capital, the emperor's status in the capital will be greatly affected.
"Your Majesty, we might as well find a way to prevent them from leaving the capital." Sun Hao suggested.
"That's easy for you to say." The emperor shook his head.
"Now the people with the fifth surname and Qi Wang have joined forces with King Yan. If we take action, it will be equivalent to starting a war with King Yan."
"We don't have the strength to start a war with King Yan now."
The emperor also thought about taking action to prevent people with the fifth surname and Qiwang from leaving the capital, but he was very aware of the gap between his own strength and that of King Yan.
He didn't want to do that stupid thing of using the mantis as a cart.
"Then we just sit back and do nothing?" Sun Hao asked unwillingly.
"Of course we can't just sit idly by and do nothing." A cold light flashed in the emperor's eyes.
"Although we can't prevent them from leaving the capital openly, we can still create obstacles for them secretly."
"As long as we can make their migration plan fail, then we can reap the benefits."
The emperor already had a plan in mind.
"What does Your Majesty plan to do?" Sun Hao asked.
"You go ahead and do this. I just want you to do one thing for me."
The emperor glanced at Sun Hao and said.
"My subordinates will do their best to complete it." Sun Hao was delighted. As long as the emperor handed over this matter to him, he would have the opportunity to show his ability in front of the emperor.
"I want you to destroy their food supplies," the emperor said.
"I understand, my subordinates will do their best to destroy their food supplies." Sun Hao already had a plan in mind.
As the chief eunuch of the palace, he has great power in the palace. If he wants to destroy the food supplies of the five surnames and seven kings, it will not be easy.
"This matter must be done cleanly and neatly, without leaving any traces." The emperor reminded again.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, your subordinates will do their best to do this well." Sun Hao said confidently.
He already had a plan in mind. He planned to send people to sabotage the food supply routes of the people with the fifth surname and Qi Wang, so that they would not be able to successfully complete their migration plan.
Moreover, he would send people to spy on their intelligence and inform the emperor of their plans and actions.
In this way, the emperor can prepare in advance. If something unexpected happens to the people with the five surnames and Qiwang, the emperor can grasp the situation and respond immediately.
Sun Hao couldn't wait to see the migration plan of the people with the fifth surname and Qi Wang fail.
Chapter 73 The emperor is angry
Wealthy families like them usually have high standards and are arrogant.
If they saw the tragic situation of them being forced to leave the capital, it would definitely make them feel desperate and painful.
In this way, he would have the opportunity to make meritorious service in front of the emperor and gain greater power.
In the Great Zhou Palace, besides the emperor, he was the most powerful person.
If he can gain greater power, his status in the palace will definitely rise.
Therefore, he was full of expectations and enthusiasm for destroying the migration plan of Wu Xing Qi Wang.
At the same time, in Prince Yan’s Mansion.
A man wearing Feiyu uniform knelt in front of Ye Tian. He was Ye Tian's crony, Mo Wuji, the commander of Nanzhen Fusi.
"Your Majesty, we have investigated clearly, and there has been action in the Great Zhou Palace."
"Oh? What's going on in the Great Zhou Palace?" Ye Tian asked calmly.
He had already anticipated the actions in the Great Zhou Palace.
The eunuchs in the palace have always liked to pretend to be powerful, and rely on the name of the emperor to dominate and prosper.
They will definitely not miss this opportunity to cause trouble for themselves.
Mo Wuji said.
"According to our investigation, the Imperial Palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty has sent people to sabotage the food supply route of Wu Xing Qi Wang."
"It seems that the Emperor of Zhou also wanted to make the relocation plan of the people with the fifth surname and Qiwang fail." A sneer flashed in Ye Tian's eyes.
He had already expected that Emperor Zhou would have such a reaction.
Those wealthy families have great power and influence in the capital. If they leave the capital, the emperor's position in the capital will be in jeopardy.
Therefore, the emperor would definitely find a way to sabotage their migration plan and prevent them from leaving the capital.
However, it is not that easy to destroy their food supplies.
People with the fifth surname and Qi Wang are not vegetarians, so they will definitely be on guard.
"So, my lord, what are you going to do?" Mo Wuji asked.
"Just wait and see what happens." Ye Tian said calmly.
He did not intend to interfere in the migration of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes. After all, this was a battle between the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty and those wealthy families, and he did not want to be involved in it.
Moreover, he doesn't have a good impression of people with five surnames and seven hopes. These people usually have their eyes high and are arrogant. They rely on their powerful family background to dominate and do all kinds of evil.
If they leave the capital, it will be a good thing for the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.
So, he didn't want to ruin this plan.
Mo Wuji didn't say anything, but quietly retreated.
And in the Great Zhou Palace.
A man in a yellow robe stood on the high city wall, looking into the distance.
Behind him, a eunuch said softly: "Your Majesty, those people with the five surnames and Qi Wang are already preparing to migrate, and they have also sent a large number of spies to various places to ensure that their migration plan can go smoothly."
"Oh? Did these spies find anything?" the emperor asked calmly.
"Those spies didn't find anything. They are just ordinary people. There is nothing special about them." The eunuch said.
The emperor didn't speak, just stood there silently.
These spies were sent by people with five surnames and seven hopes. They would do everything possible to ensure the safety of the migration plan.
Therefore, it is not that easy to disrupt their migration plans.
However, the emperor was determined to destroy their migration plan.
Those wealthy families have great power and influence in the capital. If they leave the capital, then his position in the capital will be in jeopardy.
Therefore, he must find a way to sabotage their migration plan and prevent them from leaving the capital.
At this time, a eunuch hurriedly came over, knelt in front of the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the people from Prince Yan's Palace want to see you."
"People from Prince Yan's Mansion? What are they doing here?" The emperor frowned, but he couldn't just turn people away.
"Let him come in." The emperor said calmly.
Soon, a man wearing a flying fish suit walked into the Great Zhou Palace. He was Mo Wuji from Prince Yan's Palace.
"Your Majesty, Mo Wuji, is here to see you." Mo Wuji knelt in front of the emperor and said.
"Mo Wuji? Do you have anything to do with me?" the emperor asked calmly.
Mo Wuji raised his head, looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the people from Chennan Zhenfusi have also been ordered by His Highness King Yan to supervise the five surnames and seven looks. Although many of them have moved with their families, but That Du Xian was recently imprisoned in the Zhenfusi Prison, and the Dali Temple has also found out that this person's crime should be punished. I have come to ask for your Majesty's decree, when will this person be executed?"
"Oh? Who is this Du Xian, who can actually attract so much attention from your Nanzhen Fusi and King Yan?" the emperor asked curiously.
"Your Majesty, this Du Xian is a member of the Five Surnames and Qi Wang clan. Your Majesty sent him out to provide disaster relief, but he took all the food for himself and was found out by His Highness King Yan's subordinates." Mo Wuji explained.
"I see, no wonder you are so concerned about this Du Xian."
The emperor nodded and said, "In that case, let's behead this Du Xianchu."
"Your Majesty is wise." Mo Wuji knelt on the ground and said, "I have one more thing to report to Your Majesty."
"Say it." The emperor said calmly.
"Your Majesty, when I was supervising the Five Surnames and Qiwang, I found that they seemed to be secretly gathering people recently and seemed to be making some big moves." Mo Wuji said.
"Oh? Secretly gathering people? What do they want to do?" The emperor frowned. What do these people with the fifth surname and Qi Wang want to do?
"The specific situation is not clear yet, but I have sent people to keep an eye on them. If there is any trouble, I will report it to His Majesty immediately," Mo Wuji said.
The emperor nodded, what do these wealthy families want to do? Don't they know that what they did has aroused the dissatisfaction of the court?
However, he wasn't too worried.
After all, although these wealthy families are extremely powerful, they are just a bunch of ragtag people with no real strength at all.
As long as he can control the Zhou army, then everything will not be a problem.
"Your Majesty, I still have something to report." Mo Wuji continued when he saw that the emperor did not speak.
"Say it." The emperor said calmly.
"Your Majesty, when I was supervising the five surnames and Qi Wang, I also discovered a very strange thing." Mo Wuji said.
"What's strange?" the emperor asked.
"Your Majesty, I discovered that these Qiwang of the Five Surnames seem to be doing business with the Northern Xinjiang barbarians of the Great Zhou Dynasty. They seem to be selling weapons to the Northern Xinjiang barbarians privately." Mo Wuji said cautiously.
