Chapter 280 Qingu's Suggestion

Chapter 280 Qingu's Suggestion

Before Yuhu said that he would call these kings into the palace to discuss the matter of retreating the enemy, but none of them came.

They only sent envoys to ask for leave, one said that he was too old to bear the fatigue of the journey, the other said that he was terminally ill and could not get out of bed...

In fact, they were also afraid that they would be controlled by the emperor as soon as they entered the palace, and then they would have a glass of wine to release their military power or something.

That's right, that's what Yuhu thinks, but those guys don't buy him as the emperor at all, what can he do?

The one who said that he was too old to stand up to torture, according to the news sent back by Yuhu's spies all over the place, his body was very strong.

Said that he was too sick to get out of bed, and went hunting during the day, very lively...

In short, these kings made all kinds of excuses to avoid entering the palace.

If Yuhu threatens with the emperor's order - not entering the palace is disobedience to the imperial decree. In this way, I am afraid that people will really do nothing and tear off the fig leaf on the face.

Each independently becomes a small country, and there will really be no room for maneuver at that time.

Now, no matter how yin and yang these kings are, they still regard the court as their respect, and they are still a country.

Qingu knew Yuhu's worry, and said again: "Father, in fact, this engagement ceremony is not just because I have a special liking for Long Yuan and let the father make the will, in fact, Zhenxi King and the kings from all over the place Why don't you want to temporarily paralyze us through marriage, or contain us? I think they must have some conspiracy, and there will be a big move in the near future, but they don't dare to tear themselves apart with the court. So, why don't we Take advantage of this opportunity and act first.”

After listening to Qingu's words, the two opened their mouths in surprise, they couldn't believe that their daughter would think about the government affairs, so knowledgeable.

Immediately, sorrow appeared on their faces again.

Qi Zhen: "But Xi'er, have you ever thought that engagement is a very important thing for women, but now... in the future..."

Didn't you lose your own reputation? She also heard that her daughter's heart towards Long Yuan was finally shaken, and she was no longer the same as before when she was deeply in love with her. This made her very relieved.

But...the problem came up again, since she knew that Xi'er had no love for Long Yuan anymore, and there was only a marriage of scheming between each other, but she still let her daughter fall into it...wouldn't it be helpless to push her daughter into the fire pit? ?

Yuhu thought for a while, and felt that her daughter's suggestion made sense, so she could give it a try.

It's just that this will cost his daughter's lifelong happiness. He is still very contradictory, he really loves him, and he really can't bear it!

Said: "...Your mother is right, this is too risky, and it is not fair to you. Let me think about whether there is another way... And, even if it is to tell the world, let them come to observe the ceremony, They may not come..."

Qingu said: "Of course they dare not come to the palace, because once they come in, we have the final say. After all, the imperial city is our absolute sphere of influence. But we can hold the engagement ceremony in the palace of Licheng... ..."

Li City is a city two hundred miles away from the Imperial City. The purpose of building this city was to keep a certain distance between the king and the court.

This is the place where other royal palaces gather, and they often hold parties and celebrations there.

Qingu has only one goal, to catch all these people... catch them all in one go!

The two looked at each other, wondering if their daughter was really different today, and at the same time worried about her daughter's suggestion.

After Qingu finished speaking, he added: "Of course, even if it's held in Licheng, those crowned kings may just send an unfavorable heir, or simply send an envoy. So, when the time comes, you have to personally Attend……"

hiss--

The husband and wife looked at each other with serious expressions.

Looking at the expressions of the two, Qingu knew that they were also a little moved, but in this way, they were simply using themselves as bait to lure those old foxes out.

Too dangerous.

But there is a saying: If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you find tiger cubs.

The emperor in troubled times is always dancing on the tip of the knife, how can there be such a stable throne for you to sit on?

Even the emperor who is in peace in the world still needs to fight wits and courage with the court and all forces in the harem:

If you are not careful, you may be emptied by your own concubine (fortunately, the emperor did not build a harem for himself, so there is one less threat);

Or was murdered by the eunuchs around him (there are countless examples of eunuchs in power);

Deceived by courtiers...

Qingu felt from the atmosphere of today's Flower God Festival that those people's plans should have been almost planned, so they looked a little impetuous and couldn't wait.

If it drags on, when all the plots of those people erupt, they will be in a completely passive situation.

Qingu suspects that those kings are actually connected with several other countries, and their intention is to subvert the Ryu country, so that they can establish their own independent country and be worthy of the name.

(In the past, the kings were restrained from each other. If anyone raised it first, he would definitely become the target of other people's attack. So they contacted secretly and reached the same front.)

At that time, these kings will be completely connected with the enemy country. Even if the imperial city is impenetrable, it will only be a matter of time before it is destroyed.

After a long time, Yuhu's eyes returned to Qingu, with searching and indescribable meaning in his eyes.

I have to say that this method is risky, but... it is also the only way to hold the initiative in your own hands.

In fact, Yu Hu and Qi Zhen knew the current situation of the Great Liu Kingdom best. They have their own information network

Strictly speaking, since the founding emperor unified the territory more than a hundred years ago, the Great Liu Kingdom has become the largest country on this continent.

Then all the projects were rewarded for meritorious service, and twelve kings were named to guard the twelve frontier provinces.

The imperial court directly controlled the eight central provinces, and the twelve kings and the eight central provinces were all under the unified control of the imperial court. The political center - the imperial city, and the economic center - Licheng were established.

At the beginning, it was required that each king should send a prince to live in the palace. In name, it was to accompany the prince and grandchildren to learn, play and cultivate their relationship. In fact, it meant proton.

Later, these kings felt that it was not good, so they built special palaces outside the imperial city for these princes and princesses to live in.

Later, King Feng felt that it was still not good, so he built a palace in Licheng and sent his son to live in it...

Up to now, in the palace outside the imperial city, there are only three sons of the king still living, which means that the imperial court's control over the king has no deterrent effect at all (including Long Yuan, the third son of King Zhenxi) .

According to the regulations, the twelve kings had to enter the imperial city every year to report to the imperial court and pay taxes.
