Volume 10 Chapter 243

Chapter 243

Under the guidance of Yue Ze, the kings entered the palace. They walked in front, and their generals, ministers, and followers followed far behind.

The garden in the front yard of the palace is large and beautiful, with mountains, water, flowers, and trees. Being in it, it feels almost the same as being in the wild.

Yue Ze pointed to the long corridor built in the middle of the lawn and said with a smile: "Brothers and brothers, let's sit there!"

It is late autumn now, but there is no sense of stuffiness in Yuzhen. Instead, there are gusts of cool breeze, which is refreshing and cool. Everyone did not want to sit in the house, and Yue Ze's proposal was just what they wanted.

In the pavilion of the corridor, the kings sat down one after another, and the maids who served them served tea and snacks one after another.

Shao Fang spoke first: "Zhen Wang proclaimed himself emperor and issued an edict to invite us princes to Shangjing to meet him. As a result, none of us princes went. But Brother Chuan Wang sent a letter to summon us princes to Yuzhen. It seems that Brother Chuan Wang is more prestigious than Zhen Wang who proclaimed himself emperor, and his weight is much heavier!" He was praising Xiao Xuan and testing what purpose Xiao Xuan had in initiating the gathering of the princes.

"Humph!" Before Xiao Xuan could speak, Yue Ze snorted and sneered: "How could Li Hong dare to shamelessly proclaim himself emperor in Shangjing? It's ridiculous!"

Anguo has always been on good terms with Chuanguo, and Yue Ze has always followed Xiao Xuan's lead. He mocked Li Hong at this time, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that Xiao Xuan basically had the same attitude.

Everyone knew what was going on, and they knew which direction to say next. Li Xin smiled and said, "I don't know what the situation is like in the princes' side. Let's just talk about my Huan Kingdom. Since King Zhen proclaimed himself emperor, the people's dissatisfaction and letters of rebuke have piled up like a mountain. If this continues, I don't have to do anything else every day. I can't finish reading the letters."

Yue Ze slapped his thigh and said, "It's the same in Anguo! I guess it's the same in other principalities. It's reasonable that Li Hong, the old thief, is unpopular for openly usurping the throne."

Shao Fang shrugged and said, "King Zhen has usurped the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in Shangjing. I heard that even the imperial seal has been made. What can you do if you are angry and the people are dissatisfied?"

"This thief has angered the heavens and the people, and the law does not allow it. We princes, who eat the emperor's salary and receive the emperor's grace, naturally have to share the emperor's worries!" The smile on Yue Ze's face gradually faded, and his two round eyes shone with light.

"Brother Yue Wang means..."

Yue Ze didn't say anything else, but turned to look at Xiao Xuan.

When it comes to making a decision, he dare not speak out, and he has to see what Xiao Xuan thinks. Xiao Xuan has been observing and discussing Li Hong's enthronement. Only Yue Ze, Shao Fang, and Li Xin seem to be very enthusiastic, while Tang Yin and Ling Shuang remain silent from beginning to end.

Yu Kingdom is too weak, and now it has almost become a vassal of Feng Kingdom. Ling Shuang's opinion can be ignored. The key is to see what Tang Yin thinks.

Logically speaking, Li Hong's enthronement will have the greatest impact on the Feng Kingdom, which controls the emperor. But strangely, Feng Kingdom is unmoved by this, and seems to have tacitly agreed to Li Hong's enthronement, which is puzzling.

Xiao Xuan smiled calmly and suddenly asked, "Brother Tang, what is the current situation in Feng State and how do the people react?"

Since the question came to him, Tang Yin could no longer play dumb and finally said, "It is similar to the situation of all the brothers. The people's reaction is also very intense. There are not more than ten thousand letters, but it is estimated that there are thousands of them."

"What does brother Tang plan to do?"

Tang Yin smiled slightly and said, "My Feng State is located in the extreme north, thousands of miles away from Shangjing. The changes in Shangjing are beyond the reach of my Feng State and I can't do anything about it!"

Xiao Xuan nodded and said with a smile, "So, brother Tang is also dissatisfied with the fact that King Zhen proclaimed himself emperor?"

Tang Yin smiled and said vaguely, "All the brothers have expressed their dissatisfaction. In front of all the brothers, I dare not be the one who doesn't fit in."

The implication is that since everyone is dissatisfied, he will just follow everyone's wishes.

Xiao Xuan secretly said that it was cunning!

It was originally related to the vital interests of Feng State, but Tang Yin pretended to be indifferent, which allowed Feng State to take some initiative. But it doesn't matter. The current priority is to eliminate Li Hong as soon as possible and divide Zhen State.

He stood up, put his hands behind his back, and said: "I understand the intentions of the princes. Everyone is dissatisfied with Li Hong's usurpation of the throne. If the emperor can issue an edict now, asking us to send troops to fight against the rebellion, I think no prince will refuse, right?"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone present changed. It's one thing to say, but when it comes to doing it, it's another matter.

Li Xin frowned and asked: "Brother Xiao Wang means that we should unite all the countries and send troops together to fight against King Zhen?"

"Hey?" Xiao Xuan waved his hand and said: "This is not what I mean, but it depends on the emperor's decision. If the emperor issues an edict to fight against the rebellion, how can we not obey it?"

The first bird to be shot will be shot. From the reactions of all parties to Li Hong's enthronement, it can be seen that whoever stands out will be in trouble. Xiao Xuan has to restrain himself now. Regarding the matter of attacking Li Hong, he must first ask the emperor for an imperial decree.

Yue Ze rolled his eyes and laughed, "It's not difficult for the emperor to issue an imperial decree. This is just a word from the brother of the Tang king! The key is, after the emperor issues an imperial decree, will the lords obey the decree!"

When he finished speaking, the scene fell into silence. Seeing that no one took the lead to express his position, Yue Ze's chubby body slowly stood up and said: "Since none of the other princes want to speak first, it is up to me to say it first. We, Anguo, are willing to obey the holy order and send troops to attack the traitor Li Hong! "

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xin also stood up and said loudly: "Huan Guo is also willing to obey the holy order!"

The two of them made a clear statement, and then it depends on the attitudes of Xiao Xuan, Tang Yin, Shao Fang, and Lingshuang.

Xiao Xuan was the initiator, and anyone could guess what his intentions were. Lingshuang wanted to stand up, but when Tang Yin didn't move, she retracted her straightened body.

Tang Yin's pretense was understandable, but Shao Fang didn't move, which surprised Xiao Xuan and others.

Without Xiao Xuan having to speak, Yue Ze had already asked the question on his behalf, saying: "Brother Shao Wang, you were very good at what you said just now. Why are you hesitating again now?"

Shao Fang deliberately looked embarrassed, glanced at Tang Yin aside, and said with a wry smile: "Crunting the traitors is a matter of course and right, and I agree with it. However, what I am afraid of is that our country, Mo, will send troops from the front. , there are thieves secretly behind the scenes, sending troops to invade our country!"

This was very clear. He was worried that when Mo State sent troops to attack Zhen State, Feng State would seize the opportunity and invade again.

"As far as I know, Tang Xiandi has always been obsessed with our country, Mo. A while ago, he stored a large amount of supplies in Hetian Town. Then, for some reason, it suddenly caught fire. I heard that a lot of them were burned down, right?" Shao Fang He asked with a smile.

It would be better not to mention this matter, but as soon as it was mentioned, the anger in Tang Yin's heart burned again. Needless to say, the attack on Hetian Town must have been done by the Mo State. If it hadn't been for this attack, Feng Country would have completed its pre-war preparations long ago.

have to! Judging from the posture, these two are about to quarrel again. Yueze, the landowner, felt helpless and waved his hands to Tang Yin and Shao Fang, saying, "Two royal brothers, now is not the time to talk about the fight between your two countries. I hope that the two royal brothers can put the overall situation first."

Shao Fang snorted and said in a deep voice: "The safety of Mo Country is the biggest overall situation for me!"

Old Yue Ze's face darkened and he was about to speak. At this moment, Xiao Xuan raised his hand and stopped him, saying: "I know that all the princes have many concerns in their hearts. I have also considered it carefully. This question... let's see, in this crusade against rebellion, all countries will send troops together, all the people will participate, and everyone will get together, so there is no need to worry about who will do something secretly. If something unfortunate happens, it can be If we deal with it face to face, I promise that I will never show favoritism to anyone. If the prince who did the trick in secret cannot give him justice, I will be the first to fight against him!"

His words were mainly aimed at the belligerent Tang Yin, and they could also dispel Shao Fang's worries.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Shao Fang stood up and said, "Brother Xiao Wang said this, and I feel relieved. However, I don't know whether Lie Gongzan agrees with Brother Xiao Wang's idea."

"I have no objection." Yue Ze and Li Xin said in unison. Then, everyone's eyes fell on Tang Yin's face, waiting for him to express his position.

Tang Yin really wanted to annex Mo State and coveted Mo State's vast territory, but he could also understand the importance of the matter. Since the kings wanted to join forces to attack Li Hong, Feng State would certainly support it with both hands. It's a big deal. Things should wait until later.

He pondered for a moment, then stood up and said, "Okay! Brother Xiao Wang will make the decision in everything."

As soon as he expressed his stance, Lingshuang also stood up and expressed his agreement.

Seeing that all the five kings had accepted his opinion, Xiao Xuan clasped his hands and smiled, nodded and said: "Okay! Then, I will settle this matter with the princes! The six kingdoms of Sichuan, Feng, An, Mo, Huan, and Yu will join forces to fight. At this time, the six kings went out to lead the armies of the six countries to jointly attack the Zhen Kingdom. In this battle, we vowed to kill the rebels and pacify the bandits, so as to eliminate future troubles forever. In the future, the Zhen Kingdom will no longer exist in the world! "

ah? Everyone gasped, listening to the idea, Xiao Xuan not only wanted to oust Li Hong, but also wanted to destroy Zhenguo.

With the combined strength of the six kingdoms, it is certainly no problem to destroy the Zhen Kingdom, but there is one thing that the kings have to consider, that is, after the destruction of Zhen, who will own the territory of the Zhen Kingdom?

There are three countries bordering Zhenguo, namely Sichuan, Huan, and An. However, Feng, Mo, and Yu are not adjacent to Zhenguo, so the issue of dividing the territory is also difficult to solve.

In this regard, Shao Fang was the first to stand up and said: "Of course it is feasible to destroy Zhen, and it is Li Hong's own fault. However, Brother Xiao Wang, after destroying Zhen, how should the land of Zhen State be divided?"

"Since the six countries have joined forces to send troops, it will naturally be divided equally among the six countries!" Xiao Xuan said matter-of-factly.
