Chapter 620: Good News and Bad News
PS: There have been a little updates in the past two days, and the snail has taken a break in the past two days, and by the way, I sorted out my thoughts and resumed the update tomorrow. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The noon sun was warm, and the three of them had a luncheon in the main hall and then dispersed.
This time, he asked Xiao Ziyan to come over out of superficial courtesy, after all, he decided that Xiao Ziyan had to do it, who made him a golden mouth now?
Seeing Xiao Ziyan away, Xiao Ming and Fei Yue'er arrived in the pavilion outside the dormitory, and then he suddenly asked, "Why did the princess suddenly mention the matter of King Huainan just now." ”
Fei Yue'er smiled lightly: "His Royal Highness is not in Qingzhou during this time, but many officials have mentioned this matter, father and Pang Shoufu seem to have this intention, father is expected that the three families will crusade against His Royal Highness, among which King Yan must be the initiator, and the south of Yan is the feudal country of King Huainan, the two families fought a battle when they fought for the royal city, King Huainan is quite resentful of King Yan in his heart, at this time, if His Royal Highness proposes an alliance, King Huainan may agree." ”
"That's what Elder Fei Ge taught you." Xiao Ming's vision is far-reaching, and it is said that he and Fei Yue'er are just a political marriage, and now he seems to be going to follow the traditional path of every emperor again.
Fei Yue'er sighed and said: "Your Highness, not only my father, but also the concubines think so, so that we can not only help Your Highness stabilize the country, but also open up branches and leaves for Your Highness, and the concubines will not be discussed by the ministers." ”
Xiao Ming frowned, for these ministers, his family affairs are state affairs, and Xiao Ming is quite helpless about this, after all, he is not able to change the form of traditional imperial power now.
While the two were talking, Wang Xuan suddenly walked towards him and saluted Fei Yue'er and Fei Yue'er, Wang Xuan opened his mouth and looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.
Xiao Ming understood, he got up and went to the main hall with Wang Xuan, and he asked directly, "Good news or bad news?" ”
"There are good and bad, I don't know which one Your Highness wants to listen to first?" Wang Xuan had a rare sense of humor.
"This king has always liked to gnaw hard bones first, let's talk about the bad news." Xiao Ming said.
"After the Chang'an Rebellion, the king of Chu has been going south to seize the royal prefectures, and a month ago the army of the king of Chu reached the vicinity of the kingdom of Annan, and they are said to have encountered the invading army of Annan and France." Wang Xuan said slowly.
"The French." Xiao Ming's heart jumped, this Annan country is the Vietnam of the later generations, according to Claire, the current Annan country has actually become a colony after the joint invasion of the French and Spanish.
The French have always been ambitious and want to open up a treaty port with the Great Chongqing State through Annan, so they have been instigating Annan to invade northward, and now the news brought back by Wang Xuan has confirmed this.
"This is indeed bad news, I hope the king of Chu will not be in trouble with the French." Xiao Ming was a little worried, and now the foundation of the alliance between the King of Chu and him was muskets and artillery.
If the king of Chu compromised with the French and sold his land in exchange for technology and weaponry, the king of Chu might soon turn his head against him.
"What's the good news?" Xiao Ming suddenly had a headache.
"News has come back from our maritime merchant eyeline that the Wa Kingdom is dispatching troops, and they are preparing to cross the sea to invade Goryeo at the end of this month." Wang Xuan smiled.
Hearing this news, Xiao Ming's heart was suddenly relieved, so that the attention of the barbarians would most likely turn to Goryeo, so that they would not participate in the alliance of the three kings.
"Any other news?" Xiao Ming asked.
"Yes, the four princes had a very unsatisfactory life in Yan Kingdom, and they were humiliated by Cui Zhang and Cui Tong several times in Bozhou, and now they can be described as sending people under the fence, which is very embarrassing." Wang Xuan said, "Xiaguan has secretly contacted the four princes, and the four princes are now disagreeing, and he said that as long as His Royal Highness can help him seize the Yan Kingdom, he will serve His Royal Highness as the king." ”
"Help him capture the Yan Kingdom? Does he have what it takes? Xiao Ming frowned.
"This His Royal Highness is wrong, the wealthy family of Yan is also full of contradictions, the Tian family and the Ji family of Yan have been dissatisfied with King Yan for a long time, and the lower officials have sent people to investigate, it is true that the four princes said, the Tian family and the Ji family are the maiden families of the two side concubines of King Yan respectively, and King Yan ceded the land of the two families and their affiliated wealthy families to the people in the name of King Xian, and since then the two families have been resentful."
"I see, if you want to be a virtuous king, you must offend the wealthy family, this Yan King is interesting." Xiao Ming said.
Wang Xuan smiled and said, "Your Highness is wrong this time, this King Yan is just a treacherous and cunning, he occupied part of the land of other wealthy families and returned it to the people, but part of it fell into the hands of the Cui family." ”
"Well, it's possible for the four princes to succeed." Xiao Ming was suddenly a little excited, and he said: "This time the Three Kings Alliance is the opportunity, but King Yan is not a good thing, and neither is he." ”
Wang Xuan nodded, and he said: "However, at present, there is the Wa Kingdom in the north and the barbarians in the west, the Annan Kingdom in the south, and the Tubo in the west. ”
Xiao Ming sighed slightly, Wang Xuan's meaning was very simple, that is, let him learn from Xiao Wenxuan to stabilize the country, and then the imperial power would be in hand to clean up the disobedient Xiaoxiao one by one.
And at this time, he understood how difficult it was for Xiao Wenxuan to maintain an undivided Great Chongqing State.
"The king understands what you mean." Xiao Ming said.
Like Pang Yukun and Fiji said, now he needs to unite all the forces that can be united, even the Hao family, only in this way can he unify the Great Chongqing Kingdom as soon as possible, instead of consuming the national strength in the long civil war.
He knows very well what the four princes are, but now the enemy of the enemy is a friend, as long as the four princes can call him the emperor, this business can still be done, but before that, he still needs to do one thing, which is to ascend the throne!
Only with the addition of a formal yellow robe can he hope to restore the Great Yu Kingdom to the situation before the Chang'an Rebellion without bloodshed, or that as long as he subdues the kings of Zhao and Liang, it will be enough.
"By the way, Your Highness, there is one more happy event for this event." Wang Xuan suddenly laughed ill-willedly, "There is a threat from King Yan in the north of the King of Huainan, and a threat from the King of Chu in the east, and now there are many officials in the officialdom of Jingzhou who suggest that King Yan marry His Royal Highness, and the tone of this Qingzhou City is also a screening of Huainan businessmen deliberately releasing a test to His Highness, and now it seems that Pang Shoufu and Fei Ge Lao are very much in agreement." ”
"The king of Huainan can not only threaten Yandi, but also order a nail in front of the king of Chu, it can be said that the location is very important, and from Jinling City, the king's fleet can arrive in less than seven days, if you can make friends with the king of Chu, it will naturally be the icing on the cake." Xiao Ming groaned.
Wang Xuanyan laughed when he heard this, and he said: "Your Highness, the lower officials want to say that this is the first few important pieces of information, and these are the rest of the information. ”
As he spoke, Wang Xuan handed a booklet to Xiao Ming.
