Iron Dynasty

Chapter 130: Poison

   The dazzling sunlight stretched above the chaotic hall, and fine dust could be seen floating in the sky in the light.

   Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, the prince's argument made Xiao Wenxuan annoyed.

   He is as clear as everyone else that Dayu is not an opponent of the barbarians. King Zhao entered Beijing a few days ago, and he was afraid of the barbarians.

   Although it is said that Wang Zhao's words were also for Xiao Wenxuan to give money and food, but the line of Zhao Wang, who was once known as one of the northern iron curtains of the Great Yu Kingdom, has already shown his incompetence.

   And King Liang and King Yong were even more struggling to deal with the harassment of the barbarians. In recent years, the money from the treasury and the equipment of the Department of Weapons were basically given to the three kings in the north.

  In addition to the annual tribute, the state treasury of Da Yu is empty, and now it is no longer able to support Xiao Ming. It is precisely because of this that this imperial army cannot be easily used, because this is the last defense of Chang'an City.

   So the words of the second prince came to his heart, and the words of the fourth prince made him a little unhappy, and the prince's retort to the fourth prince was exactly what he wanted to say.

"Okay, don't quarrel. I have decided that we can no longer add annual tribute this time. Now the national treasury of Dayu can't make ends meet, so how can the money go to the barbarians again, besides, blindly giving in will only make the barbarians despise my Dayu more China, this time I don’t seek to defeat the barbarians, just let them know that my great Yu country can’t let the barbarians manipulate.”

   "The emperor is wise!" Luo Quan and other generals said in unison.

But at this time, many civil servants looked like mourning, all of them pale. They were afraid of the barbarians coming to Chang'an. At that time, they would no longer be able to enjoy the glory and wealth and the fragrance of gentle daughters. .

   "The emperor, you can't fight!" Cui Hao suddenly knelt on the ground, kowtowing.

   Then half of the ministers knelt down among the civil servants, and they all shouted: "The emperor, you can't fight. Together with this dispute, the Great Yu country will have no peace anymore, and Jiangshan Sheji will be destroyed once..."

   "The emperor, you can't fight." At this time, many of the military officers also knelt down.

"you guys!"

   Xiao Wenxuan's heart suddenly rises with anger. It used to be just like civilian officials. This time, there are so many generals among military officials who were threatened by the barbarians and dared not fight.

  He suddenly felt a sense of sadness, when Da Yu was full of people who were greedy for life, afraid of death, and stubborn for life.

   "Father, the children have a trick to prevent the barbarians from going south without letting the barbarians anger the court."

   The third prince suddenly said.

   Xiao Wenxuan's eyes lit up and asked: "Say it quickly."

   "Father, it is inconvenient to speak in the court." The third prince hesitated and said.

   Xiao Wenxuan waved his hand and said to the ministers: "Withdraw from the court and discuss this matter tomorrow."

   "Yes, the emperor!"

   The ministers got up and left Chengqing Hall in order.

   When the ministers leave, only the three princes are left in the hall.

   At this time, Xiao Wenxuan said, "What can you do?"

"Actually, it is very simple. This time the barbarians went south for additional tribute to attack Cangzhou and threaten the hinterland of the Central Plains. Cangzhou is the fief of the Qi king, and further south is the Wei king's fief. For the safety of their respective fiefs, Qi Wang and Wei Wang will fully resist the barbarian's offensive. In this way, if the Qi and Wei kings can defend Cangzhou, the barbarian will naturally go back in despair."

"If King Qi and King Wei can't defend Cangzhou, it's not too late to make peace with the barbarians before the city is broken. After all, if King Qi and King Wei are too low to stop the barbarians, the imperial army and the armies of other vassals will rush to help. I am afraid it will be of no avail, but the Kingdom of Da Yu is in danger at this time. At this time, it is clearly stated that King Qi and King Wei refused to obey the emperor's order and used troops to convict them without authorization, in order to appease the barbarians in exchange for the peace of Da Yu." The third prince said slowly.

   After talking about this plan, the third prince was a little proud. In his opinion, this is the wisest approach at present.

"Asshole, how could I have a vicious son like you!" Xiao Wenxuan suddenly violent, took the memorial in his hand and slammed it at the third prince, "You are asking me to betray my brothers, my son, and the whole world. Although I, Xiao Wenxuan, can't compare to the great ancestor Shengming, I can't do such a despicable thing."

   The three princes were as calm as usual. It seemed that Xiao Wenxuan would have such a reaction.

He said: "Father, can you still see clearly above the court today? The Lord and the ministers are standing behind King Zhao, King Liang, and King Yong. They are afraid of the barbarians. If the father will go his own way, I am afraid The Northern Territory and Dayu Kingdom will have different dreams in the same bed."

   Xiao Wenxuan's face has changed. Over the years, the royal family of the Kingdom of Da Yu and many vassal states have gradually moved away from each other, no longer the intimacy between the Gaozu vassal state and the royal family.

  Especially the kings of different surnames, which have been passed down through generations, and the relationship with the royal family has become more and more estranged, and they faintly obey the royal orders.

   It is precisely because of this that since Gaozu, the emperor of Dayu has basically maintained relationships with each other through marriages with many vassals.

   The words of the three princes are not impossible.

   Great Yu country knows that he and Wang Zhao are like brothers, but in fact, the more so, the greater the amount of play between the two.

   This King Zhao is a barrier to the north of the royal family~lightnovelpub.net~ If the barbarians are secretly colluding with the barbarians, the barbarians can directly take the city of Chang'an. It is precisely because of this that he is very afraid of King Zhao.

   Make Empress Zhao the queen and his nephew as the prince, all to appease King Zhao.

   After all, among the many vassal kingdoms, King Zhao’s army is the most powerful. It is a chess piece that can be used well, and it is a deadly blade if it is not used well.

   The Liang King and the Yong King are like this. In these years, in order to guard against the barbarians, the treasury has given a lot of money to the three vassals. If this time...

   Thinking of this, Xiao Wenxuan couldn't imagine it, and his ambitions in the hall slowly cooled down.

   He is now more than fifty, and he has long lost the blood of the year. When he calmed down, he suddenly became a little afraid. He didn't want to lose the throne in front of him, the glory and wealth in front of him.

   The three princes saw Xiao Wenxuan's look in his eyes, and he sneered in his heart, he knew his father too well.

   He loves this throne more than anything else.

"Father, the barbarians have repeatedly harassed, this time it is impossible not to color the barbarians, but the real war with the barbarians, the Great Yu country is likely to face the risk of disintegration, after all, the kings of the world have their own thoughts, so children The minister proposed this plan. All of this was for the great Yu country and for the father. Besides, at that time it was only a false conviction to the barbarians." The third prince said again.

   Xiao Wenxuan was weak, he waved his hand, "Rong Zhen think about it again, you go out first."

   The three princes responded, bowing and leaving.

Outside the imperial city, Li Zhong was waiting for the three princes Xiao Zhen. Seeing the three princes came out of the palace, Li Zhong stepped forward and asked, "His Royal Highness, what's going on~lightnovelpub.net~Welcome to read, the latest, The fastest and hottest serial works are all at ~lightnovelpub.net~ mobile phone users, please go to read.
