Iron Dynasty

ps: There is a little update in the past two days. Snail took a break in the past two days. By the way, I sorted out my thoughts and resumed the update tomorrow.

The noon sun was warm, and the three of them left after having a lunch in the main hall.

This time he asked Xiao Ziyan to come over because of superficial etiquette. After all, he had decided that Xiao Ziyan had to do it. Who made him speak in a golden mouth now?

Sending away Xiao Ziyan, Xiao Ming and Fei Yue'er went to the pavilion outside the sleeping hall. At this moment, he suddenly asked: "Why did the princess suddenly mention this matter about King Huainan?"

Fei Yueer smiled softly: "During the period when Your Royal Highness was not in Qingzhou, many officials mentioned this. My father and Pang Shoufu seemed to have the same intention. My father expected the three families to crusade against His Royal Highness. Among them, King Yan must be the initiator. , And the southern part of Yan State was the feudal state of King Huainan. The two families fought a battle during the battle for the royal city. King Huainan felt resentful towards King Yan in his heart. At this time, if His Royal Highness raised the matter of alliance, King Huainan might Will agree."

"This is what Fei Ge taught you." Xiao Ming's vision is far-reaching. He and Fei Yue'er are nothing more than a political marriage. Now he seems to be going on the traditional path of every emperor.

Fei Yueer sighed and said, "His Royal Highness, not only the father, but also the concubines think so too. This way, it can help your Royal Highness stabilize the country and open up branches and leaves for your Royal Highness, and the concubines will not be affected by the ministers. talk."

Xiao Ming frowned. For these ministers, his family affairs were state affairs. Xiao Ming was also quite helpless about this. After all, he still couldn't change the traditional form of imperial power.

When the two were talking, Wang Xuan suddenly came to him and bowed to Fei Yue'er and Fei Yue'er. Wang Xuan opened his mouth as if he wanted to talk but stopped.

Xiao Ming understood. He got up and went to the main hall with Wang Xuan. He directly asked, "Good news or bad news?"

"There are good and bad, I don't know which one should I listen to first?" Wang Xuan had a rare humor.

"This king always likes to bite hard bones first, let's talk about the bad news." Xiao Ming said.

"After the Chang'an Rebellion, the King of Chu kept going south to seize the royal state and counties. A month ago, King Chu's army arrived near Annan Kingdom. It is said that they encountered the invading Annan Kingdom and French troops." Wang Xuan said slowly.

"French." Xiao Ming's heart beat. This Annan Kingdom is the later generation of Vietnam. According to Claire, the current Annan Kingdom and the joint invasion of the French and Spanish have actually become a colony.

The French have always been ambitious, wanting to open up the trade port with Dayu through Annan Kingdom, so they have been instigating Annan Kingdom to invade northward, and now the news that Wang Xuan brought back allows him to confirm this.

"This is indeed bad news. I hope that King Chu will not be a rival to the French." Xiao Ming was a little worried. Now King Chu and his alliance are based on guns and artillery.

If the King of Chu compromised with the French to sell the land in exchange for technology and weapons, King Chu might soon turn around to deal with him.

"What's the good news?" Xiao Ming suddenly had a headache.

"The news from our maritime merchants' eyeliner is that the Japanese nation is dispatching troops and they are preparing to cross the sea to invade Korea at the end of this month." Wang Xuan smiled.

Hearing this news, Xiao Ming's heart suddenly relaxed, so the attention of the barbarians is likely to turn to Goryeo, and thus will not participate in the coalition of the Three Kings.

"Any other news?" Xiao Ming asked.

"Yes, the four princes were very unhappy in the country of Yan. They were humiliated by Cui Zhang and Cui Tong several times in Bozhou. Now they are under the fence, and they are very embarrassed." Wang Xuan said, "The next official has secretly contacted the four princes. The four princes are now ill-intentioned. He said that as long as His Royal Highness can help him capture the Kingdom of Yan, he will regard His Royal Highness as the king."

"Help him capture the Kingdom of Yan? Does he have this ability?" Xiao Ming frowned.

"This Royal Highness is wrong. The Yan family is also full of contradictions. The Yan family's Tian family and Ji family have been dissatisfied with the Yan king for a long time. The officials sent people to investigate. It is true that the four princes said that the Tian family and the Ji family are different. It was the natal family of the two concubines of King Yan. In the past, King Yan ceded the land of the two families and their affiliated families to the people in the name of a good king. Since then, the two families have been resentful."

"It turns out that to be a virtuous king is bound to offend the wealthy. This king Yan is interesting," Xiao Ming said.

Wang Xuan said with a smile, "His Royal Highness was wrong this time. This King Yan is just a treacherous cunning. He took part of the land of other wealthy clan and returned it to the people, but part of it fell into the hands of the Cui family."

"Well, it is possible for the Fourth Prince to succeed." Xiao Ming suddenly became a little excited, he said: "This time the Three Kings Allied Forces is the opportunity, but King Yan is not a good thing, and neither is he."

Wang Xuan nodded. He said, "But at present, there is a wandering country in the north, and the barbarians are eagerly watching, Annan is in trouble in the south, and Tubo is invading frequently in the west. Respect your Highness as respect."

Xiao Ming sighed slightly. Wang Xuan's meaning was very simple, that he should learn from Xiao Wenxuan to stabilize the country, and when the time comes, the emperor will take care of the disobedient Xiaoxiao.

Only then did he understand how difficult it is for Xiao Wenxuan to maintain an undivided Great Yu 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 wealthy. Only in this way can he unify the Great Yu country as soon as possible, instead of consuming national power in a long civil war.

He is very clear about the personality of the Four Princes~www.wuxiaspot.com~ 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 he still needs to do one thing before that. This is enthroned!

Only when the official yellow robe is added, can he hope that he will return to the situation before the Chang'an Rebellion without bloodshed, or that he will be enough as long as he defeats King Zhao and King Liang.

"By the way, your majesty, there is one more happy event." Wang Xuan suddenly laughed unkindly. "There is a threat from King Yan to the north of King Huainan, and a threat from King Chu to the east. Now there are quite a few official circles in Jingzhou. The officials suggested that King Yan would marry his Royal Highness. The tone of Qingzhou City was also a screening of Huainan merchants deliberately testing His Royal Highness. Now it seems that Pang Shoufu and Elder Fei Ge agree."

"The king of Huainan can threaten Yandi, and it is equivalent to ordering a nail in front of the king of Chu. The position is very important, and the king's fleet can arrive within seven days from Jinling. If it can be with Chu Wang Jiao is naturally the icing on the cake." Xiao Ming said in thought.

Wang Xuan laughed when he heard the words, and said: "His Royal Highness, this is the important piece of information that the next official wants to say. These are the remaining information."

While speaking, Wang Xuan handed a booklet to Xiao Ming.
