Steel Dynasty - Chapter 647

[Chapter 646 The King of Chu declares himself a minister]

White clouds are drifting lazily in the dark blue sky.

Ge Yiren looked up at the sky above his head and asked: “In your opinion, what should we do now?”

“As the saying goes, people cannot hang themselves on a tree. Now that King Zhao is at the height of the sun in Chang’an, we can only lower our heads temporarily. , But there should be someone on the other side of Qingzhou to bring us a message, lest King Qi think that we are determined to follow King Zhao.” Yu Zhiyong pondered: “After all, our current status depends on the support of our respective families. So as not to drag down the family at some point.”

Ni Kuang couldn’t help but nodded in agreement.

Ge Yiren was a little surprised. It turned out that the two of them were trying to persuade him to contact Fiji secretly. After all, Fiji had always had a good relationship with him when they were in Chang’an.

Ge Yiren is a little tempted, but he has been in the officialdom for many years and he naturally knows that trouble comes from his mouth. In any case, Chang’an is under the governance of King Zhao. If he agrees rashly, it may lead to debt trouble. After all, no one in the officialdom of Chang’an can be trusted now. .

He said lightly: “The worries you two have are a little unnecessary. No matter who has been in charge of the country for thousands of years, the wealthy family will still be wealthy. It is too late for the royal families of all generations to win over. How can they vent their anger on us when the time comes? And the news came from Wei. “Aren’t the wealthy families under King Wei good in the past?”

Yu Zhiyong and Ni Kuang were stunned when they heard this. They wanted to say something more, but Ge Yiren still left.

When the two saw this, they immediately looked at each other. Ni Kuang said, “What does this Ge Yiren mean?”

“No matter what he means, if he doesn’t do it, we will. Although his words make sense, who doesn’t want to have a place in the court in the future?” Yu Zhiyong said with his hands behind his back.

Ni Kuang nodded, “Brother Yu is right. He will not participate. We will contact Qingzhou secretly. If King Qi’s army comes over in the future, if we come and cooperate inside and outside, we will be heroes in the future, right?”

“Yes, this can still work.

There is one less person to compete with us for credit.”

After the two of them said that, they returned to looking as if nothing had happened.

…

Lin’an.

The news of the defeat of the Three Kings Alliance also reached here at an extremely fast speed.

Before the war, everyone in Dayu Kingdom had their eyes set on Yunzhou City. Now that the outcome of the battle has been decided, some are happy and some are worried.

“We were defeated, and defeated so completely. I really think highly of King Yan and the others.” King Chu looked in the direction of Qingzhou, thoughtfully.

Xiao Ming’s ascension this time was basically a major event that shocked the world, and now that the three kings’ coalition was defeated when he ascended the throne, this will definitely make Xiao Ming’s momentum unparalleled.

“Uncle, it’s not that King Yan, King Zhao and King Liang are incompetent, but that Xiao Ming’s army is too powerful. Xiao Ming has won consecutive battles since the battle of Cangzhou. This is enough to explain something.” The third prince said lightly.

The King of Chu fell into silence. Xiao Ming’s ascension to the throne was a clear slap in the face of King Zhao and him. After all, only King Zhao and him were the kings of Dayu.

However, although he was angry, there was nothing he could do. Now was not the time to break up with Xiao Ming, and with the defeat of the three kings’ coalition this time, he did not dare to have any ill thoughts south of the Yangtze River.

After thinking about it, he finally sighed. Now his only way is to continue to cooperate with the French to consolidate his military power.

In order to avoid being attacked by Xiao Ming, he could only find a way to temporarily paralyze Xiao Ming. Thinking of this, he looked at the third prince Xiao Zhen and said in a strange tone: “Zhen’er, uncle, I can’t help you, for the sake of the Li family My uncle can only rely on you for his safety.”

The third prince’s face instantly turned pale, and then he suddenly laughed like crazy, “Father is right, my brother is unreliable, and outsiders are even less trustworthy. I really deserve it!

There was no trace of guilt on King Chu’s face. He said, “Don’t blame my uncle for being unkind. For the sake of the Chu country and the Li family, my uncle had to do this.”

After

a pause, he shouted: “Come here, the third prince is fake. “

According to the imperial edict, the crime was extremely heinous, so he was immediately taken into custody and sent to Qingzhou to wait for the emperor to deal with him. “

“Yes, Your Highness!” The guards in the palace responded and stood behind the third prince, holding one of his arms.

Li Chuyuan was also in the main hall. He asked, “Father, do we have to profess vassalage to Xiao Ming?”

“So what if we profess vassalship? It’s just a false name. What’s important is that after proclaiming vassalship, Xiao Ming has no reason to be courteous to me.” The country uses troops, so that we can hide our strength, develop in secret, and wait for the opportunity.”

Although Li Chuyuan was a little unwilling, he had to say that this was the best way at the moment. Now Xiao Ming defeated the three kings’ coalition and was powerful all day long. Well, everyone has to weigh it up.

When the third prince heard this, his eyes were filled with hatred, and he said, “Just wait, one day Xiao Ming will cut you into pieces!”

“You should worry about yourself.” Li Chuyuan sneered, “I don’t know Xiao Ming How will you deal with a prince who ascends the throne without permission, hahaha…”

King Chu frowned, “Chu Yuan, don’t be rude, Xiao Zhen is a prince no matter what, even if Xiao Ming wants to kill him, it is a royal family matter “To show my sincerity, you will personally go to Qingzhou this time. You will live in Qingzhou for a while.”

“Father!” Li Chuyuan was shocked, “Why do you want to live in Qingzhou?” The

third prince looked gloating and said, “Don’t you understand? Of course, as a proton, Xiao Ming will feel at ease.”

Li Chuyuan had actually thought of it, but he couldn’t believe it.

The King of Chu let out a long sigh. He held Li Chuyuan’s forehead and said, “Dalang, it’s not that my father is cruel. If Xiao Ming unified the north, he would definitely go south to attack Chu.

The three kings of Yan are no match for Xiao Ming. How can the Chu State fight against Xiao Ming? For the current plan,

Li Chuyuan is unwilling to do so, but what can he do now? The King of Chu has decided that he can violate it. Yet?

“Yes, father.” Li Chuyuan’s eyes were red, feeling very aggrieved.

The King of Chu could not bear it. After all, this was his own son, so he said: “When you come back from Qingzhou, the position of King of Chu will be yours. No matter what your father does now, this will be for you in the future.” “Yours.”

“I know my father’s hard work. Going to Qingzhou can make Xiao Ming feel at ease. Secondly, I can send news about Qingzhou back at any time. This time I will live up to my father’s expectations.” Li Chu. Yuan gritted his teeth.

The third prince sneered again and again, and then burst into tears, recalling the glory of the past, and looking at the current situation, he now deeply regretted that he had ruined the future of the Chongqing Kingdom for the sake of the throne.

But now it’s too late no matter what he thinks, he will be escorted to Xiao Ming, and his brother King Shu will definitely be defeated by King Zhao because of losing the support of Chu State. After all, he is needed by King Chu. King Zhao dealt with Xiao Ming openly.
