In early March, the imperial capital Luo Qi, the imperial city, the Prince's East Palace...
"Zhang Yi, Hu Yong, tell me, where is my sixth brother and how should we solve it?" Prince Dongfang Zhi was lying on a collapsed chair, hugging him from left to right, and being fed by palace maids.
Zhang Yi and Hu Yong are the two great advisers under Dongfang Zhi, and they are quite talented and resourceful. As a confidant, Dongfang Zhi's success in becoming crown prince is closely related to the two of them.
Hu Yong thought for a moment!
"Your Highness, the Sixth Prince has already taken root in Beiliang. It's a done deal. If you try to change things, I'm afraid it won't help."
No one expected that when King Qin arrived in Liangzhou, he would give everyone a slap in the face. When the King of Qin arrived in Beiliang, Feidan did not die young, but instead ran wildly like a wild horse.
"My subordinates think that we can follow the trend and apply for the shepherd of Liangzhou to the King of Qin, and rule the entire Liangzhou as the King of Qin." Hu Yong said with a smile.
The prince was puzzled and sat up from the recliner, frowning, "Sir, what do you mean? One of my sixth brothers did some shocking things when he first arrived in Beiliang. He accepted Qin County, although the population is sparse, it covers an area and can be at the head of seven counties."
"That's it! The land of a county has been taken into his pocket. If it is given to another state, wouldn't it be soaring into the sky?"
now! The biggest threats are the King of Yan in Youzhou, the King of Qi in Luzhou, the King of Chu in Yangzhou, and the King of Chen in Jingzhou. Although these younger brothers have been demoted to the vassal kings, they do not have tens of thousands of troops in their hands. Everyone is staring at him as the crown prince!
If the King of Qin from Beiliang is added to the equation, the pressure on him as the crown prince will be too great. As long as he does not ascend the throne as emperor for one day, he will be in fear every day and will not be able to live in peace.
"Your Highness, have you ever heard that when a tree rots in the forest, the wind will beat it down. Your Highness is not the only one who needs to be stingy, but you must also recommend it to your Majesty! Confer the land of Liangzhou to the King of Qin."
"Your Highness can tell His Majesty about the civil strife in Liangzhou at that time. Since the King of Qin is in charge of Liangzhou, he has the obligation to eradicate the rebellion and punish the rebels' nine tribes. At that time, the counties in Liangzhou will naturally fight to the death with him. No surrender." Hu Yong said with an evil smile.
Kill the nine tribes! No one wants to suffer such a punishment; if the major forces in Beiliang knew that the fate would be the same whether they fought or surrendered, they would definitely fight to the death! By then! It is not okay to kill the King of Qin.
Saying this is a good idea, Dongfang Zhi said: "If this is the case, then we will lose Yangchen, Hongze, and Mushu, these three loyal dogs."
Zhang Yi interjected: "What if the King of Qin died in the battle! The rebellion was not over, but he died in the battle at Beiliang! Your Highness can take credit for building the tomb of the Sixth Prince! Then! Your Highness can personally advise His Majesty to avenge the King of Qin and take the initiative to attack the rebels. Thief, go north out of Guanzhong and pacify Liangzhou. After destroying the four warlords Yangchen, Hongze, Musu, and Pei Hao, when the time comes! All the territory of Liangzhou can be collected by His Highness."
"What a plan! What a plan!" Dongfang Zhi was ecstatic, but then he thought about it and felt it was inappropriate, "This plan is very good, but for what reason should we let King Qin rule Liangzhou!"
"Your Highness...please come here..."
Zhang Yi knelt down and whispered a few words in his ear. Dongfang Zhi spoke straightforwardly, with an evil smile on his face.
The next day! Jiwu Palace, morning meeting...
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
"All my dear friends, you will be exempted from the ceremony!"
"Today I have a plan to report, but I will retreat without a plan."
"Your Majesty Ye Yi, I have something to report."
Ye Yi queued up from the left.
Ye Yi, the head of the Ye family, one of the four major families in Luoqi, the capital, and the prime minister of Dawu, ranked third among the nobles.
Dongfang Shuo, who was sitting on the dragon throne, glanced at him and said, "Ai Qing has a memorial."
Ye Yi said: "What I have reported is the situation in the three states of Qingzhou, Lu, and Yangzhou in Shandong. Recently! The Japanese countries in the East China Sea, colluding with pirates, have increasingly invaded our Dawu sea area, especially Taizhou within Qingzhou and Jinling, the old capital of Yangzhou. They were all attacked by Japanese pirates."
"The governors and governors of the three states all submitted petitions to the ministers, hoping that the imperial court would send troops to control the Japanese invaders."
The three states are close to the sea. In order to resist the Japanese pirates, a lot of troops have been stationed. Now! Why are you petitioning? "Ye Aiqing, isn't this right? In the three states bordering the sea, I have accumulated a large number of troops. How dare the Japanese soldiers invade?"
"This..." Ye Yi had nothing to say. Even if he had words, they were stuck in his throat.
"Ye Qing, don't tell me that the 300,000 troops stationed in the three states and the 100,000 local troops in each state are just decorations! Also! The 200,000 Japanese elite soldiers in Shandong cannot be decorations, right?"
"Shandong has an army of half a million, how can it be provoked by a small island country? According to my holy saying, every state and county, prefecture and county in Shandong should perform their duties and fulfill their duties. They should not leave their posts without permission. Japanese pirates If you dare to offend, try your best to kill them." Dongfang Shuo showed his domineering attitude.
"I accept your order!" Ye Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead and backed away in fear.
"Who else has something to report?" Emperor Xuanwu supervised the ministers below him.
"Your Majesty, I have something to tell you!" The old man Cai Zhong, the imperial censor, came out of the queue unsteadily.
Who doesn't know that Cai Zhong is the prince's grandfather. This old guy must be up to no good when he comes out.
"What do you want to tell me, my dear?" Dongfang Shuo frowned, obviously not interested in Cai Zhong.
Immediately! Cai Zhong took out a memorial from his sleeve and handed it to the eunuch. The eunuchs presented it directly to the emperor.
"Your Majesty! This is the memorial from the special envoy of Northern Liang to the old minister." Cai Zhongyan said.
Speaking of Beiliang, Emperor Xuanwu seemed to be interested and opened the memorial.
Immediately, anger appeared on his face, and he said angrily: "What a big family in Liangzhou? How dare you blatantly incorporate Liangzhou County into your own private property, divide the power, and want to fight against the imperial court?"
"General Liu Wenlong, you are in charge of the military affairs of each state. Take a look at this matter! How to deal with it."
Dongfang Shuo looked at Liu Wenlong.
Liu Wenlong took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty! This matter needs long-term consideration!"
"Since the general has no good strategy for the time being, I have a good candidate in my mind who can solve the trouble in Liangzhou." Cai Zhong suggested again.
"Who..." Emperor Xuanwu calmed down his anger.
"His Royal Highness King Qin!"
As soon as the four words were spoken, Emperor Xuanwu felt furious, "King Qin, Lord Cai Zhong, King Qin is young and lacks strategy. I just want him to watch the border for me! Back then! King Qin granted the land to Qin , it was you who suggested it, and it was also your suggestion that he be asked to attack the rebels now. He is my son, not a doll at your mercy."
Dongfang Shuo finally got angry. The sixth prince was on duty and he was also his son. He didn't need anyone else to point fingers.
"Father! I also think Doctor Cai is right!" Dongfang Zhi stood up immediately.
"What……"
At this moment, Dongfang Shuo looked at the prince with cannibalistic eyes, wishing to eat him alive.
"Prince, it's best to speak your mind."
