Chapter 285 Jiang Dan's Thoughts
The news of Song Yan's recruitment of 80,000 troops quickly spread to Yan and Zhao.
For a time, both Yan and Zhao felt very uneasy.
Finally, after several days of consultations, Yan and Zhao decided to form a coalition again to attack Qi.
When the two kingdoms of Yan and Zhao formed an alliance, some spies spread the news to Linshui County.
Compared with the backward message transmission in this world, Song Yan invented the bird transmission method. Therefore, it takes ten days for other countries to transmit a message, and he needs at most two days.
Knowing that Yan and Zhao formed a coalition, Song Yan saw the hope of completing the third mission.
Originally, he planned to recapture the whole of Qi and restore the country, and then let the prince Jiang Dan ascend the throne.
Now it seems that Jiang Dan can be enthroned in advance, and he can lead the army to defeat the Yan-Zhao coalition on the battlefield.
Got the idea of making Jiang Dan enthroned.
Song Yan immediately summoned Meng Bozhao, Shen Du, Song Xiu and other high-level officials.
"I plan to let the prince ascend the throne and become the king of Qi!"
Song Yan said bluntly.
During this year, everyone was used to Song Yan's direct communication. Meng Bozhao and Shen Du were overjoyed when they heard that Song Yan wanted the crown prince to ascend the throne, and Song Xiu's expression was a little surprised.
And Jiang Dan, who was also in the conference room this time, seemed very excited.
"What do you guys think? If you have no opinion, after three days, we will arrange for the crown prince to be enthroned in Linshui County!" Song Yan said solemnly.
"Subordinate agrees."
Meng Bozhao said without hesitation that he was loyal to the Qi royal family in the Meng family era. Although Song Yan once said that he would not be involved in the throne, this year, Song Yan's prestige has been getting higher and higher, so he was worried again, for fear that in the future One day, Song Yan directly abolished the prince Jiang Dan and established himself as king.
In fact, if Song Yan really wants to do this, no one can stop him. After all, his prestige is there, and more than a year, it is because of his several inventions that he has created shocking wealth for Qi, and the common people are also living a life. have a good day.
If he were to be the king of Qi, it would be just around the corner for Qi to become the most powerful country in China, and it would not even be impossible to unify the mainland of China.
Therefore, Meng Bozhao was relieved when he heard Song Yan's suggestion to Jiang Dan, but he was also very ashamed, because he took care of the king's belly.
"Xiaguan also agrees." Shen Du followed.
As for Hetai and others, Song Yan's will is the main thing, so they all agreed to the crown prince Jiang Dan's enthronement.
"Well, the matter of the crown prince's enthronement will be handed over to General Meng and Lord Shen!" Song Yan made a final decision.
Hearing Song Yan's words, Jiang Dan's hands under the table were secretly squeezed together.
Over the past year, his personality has changed a lot. Although he is only nine years old, his mind is fully mature.
The desire for power is also very strong. Now that he can finally become king, can he get rid of Song Yan's control?
"Let's talk about the second thing! According to the news from the spies from Yan and Zhao, Yan Zhao has formed an alliance again, and will form a coalition of 200,000 troops to attack our country of Qi!"
As soon as the news was thrown out, everyone suddenly changed color.
Especially the figure of 200,000 troops made everyone feel particularly heavy.
"Although the number of the coalition forces is large, it is not invincible. Moreover, it takes a day or two to gather 200,000 troops. Therefore, it should be a month before the arrival of the 200,000 troops! Before, we only needed to do two things, first, to step up the training of new recruits, and second, to completely assimilate Longan and Shunhe County!"
After the high-level meeting.
Everyone in the Qi Kingdom acted quickly.
Three days later, the crown prince Jiang Dan officially ascended the throne as the new king of Qi, and on the day of his ascension, he rewarded all the ministers, and named Song Yan as the general of the state of Qi and the great Sikong.
In the past, Song Yan's general was a self-proclaimed general, and it can be said that his name is not right, but now, it is justifiable to receive Jiang Dan, who has just ascended the throne as the king of Qi, and the official title of Da Sikong is second only to the three Dukes.
But Jiang Dan's award to Meng Bozhao surprised everyone.
He made Meng Bozhao the former general and Taifu.
The former general is second only to the general in the military, but the Taifu is the head of the Three Dukes.
Song Yan's title is only Da Sikong, second to the three Dukes, but Meng Bozhao became the head of the three Dukes. Doesn't this mean that Meng Bozhao is above Song Yan.
Hearing Jiang Dan's award to Meng Bozhao, Song Yan was stunned for a moment, but then there was a hint of sarcasm. Jiang Dan, this little brat, could not hold back and wanted to seize power as soon as he ascended the throne.
However, Meng Bozhao's expression changed drastically when he heard Jiang Dan's award to him. It can be said that the state of Qi was able to have today's situation thanks to Song Yan. Now, Jiang Dan's buttocks are not even hot, so he wants to take advantage of Song Yan. I really don't know if he is stupid or naive.
"Your Majesty, this minister is just a military man. I can't be a grandmaster. I also ask the king to withdraw his decree. At the same time, the great general is a scholar of heaven and human beings, and he has made great contributions to the state of Qi. Therefore, the minister recommends the great general to be the grandfather."
Hearing that Meng Bozhao not only rejected his award, but also recommended Song Yan as Taifu, Jiang Dan's expression changed suddenly.
"The minister also thinks that the general is the most suitable to be the grandmaster." Song Xiu stepped out, a sneer flashed in his eyes, and said to Jiang Dan, that a small child dared to play tricks in front of the general, he just didn't know whether to live or die. Being the King of Qi can lead everything?
Hearing Song Xiu's proposal, Jiang Dan's face darkened again.
"The minister also recommends the general to be the grandmaster." Shen Du followed closely.
"The Great General is the best choice for Taifu. Except for the Great General, who is qualified to hold this position!" Hetai stood out.
"In the state of Qi, besides the great king, who would dare to be above the great general? Therefore, the minister also recommends the great general to be a grandmaster!" He also stood up first.
Seeing that all the officials in the hall came forward to recommend Song Yan to be the grandmaster, Jiang Dan suddenly became panicked and realized that even if he became the king of Qi, it would not change Song Yan's dominance in the Qi family.
"Since everyone thinks that the general is the best candidate for the post of Taifu, then this king will make the general the Taifu!"
The meeting is over.
Song Yan returned to the General's Mansion.
He didn't care about Jiang Dan's idiots in the courtroom. Except for a limited number of people in Qi, almost all of them belonged to him. Could it be that he can still find out.
"The general is tired, my servant will press it for you!" Qiu Xiang warmly greeted her and pinched it on Song Yan's shoulder.
After a while, the servants came to report, and the King of Qi came to meet the general.
"Let him in!"
Song Yan said lightly.
After a while, King Qi Jiang Dan came to this courtyard alone.
"Master, the apprentice is wrong, and please ask the master to punish!"
Jiang Dan bent over and saluted, with a look of guilt on his face.
"What's wrong with you?" Song Yan said lightly.
"The disciple shouldn't...!"
"Okay!" Song Yan waved his hand and interrupted Jiang Dan's words: "I understand what you're thinking, it's nothing more than trying to regain control of Qi, but I want to tell you that now is not the time."
"I understand!" Jiang Dan nodded in agreement, but unwillingness flashed in his eyes.
"I know you're not convinced. I just want to ask you one question. If I hand over Qi to you, will you be able to stop Yan Zhao's 200,000 coalition forces? Can you take back the rest of Qi's territory?"
Jiang Dan's expression froze, but he was speechless.
Song Yan looked at him and said solemnly: "In short, you just need to remember that the future state of Qi is yours, and now is just the wrong time, when the time comes, I will hand over all of the state of Qi to you, just when the time comes. Don't let me down!"
"Teacher knows, he will definitely not live up to Master's expectations!"
