Chapter 1641

This voice is extremely cold and full of the meaning of not to be refused.

Wen Zhang was slightly stunned. I'm afraid it's not easy to agree to this condition. Let those princes come to Shouchun and scare them to death

"Isn't this one?"

He began to think about the wording.

"What? Is that a problem? "

Wang Kang said calmly, "I'll see you all, isn't that normal?"

Wen Zhang was speechless and could not find any loopholes in this regard.

Although the enfeoffment system gave the princes great autonomy, it also had corresponding obligations.

Princes must obey the emperor's orders, defend the emperor's territory, fight with his followers, pay tribute, and see him regularly

Since Wang Kang has promised that the vassal states will continue to exist and everything will be as usual, it is also the duty of the vassal dynasties to see the new monarch. This is a very normal proposal

"Can we have enough time? After all, the distance between the vassal states is different? "

Wen Zhang thought about it and said.

It is true that there is some tension on the 15th. There is probably no time to respond. The details need to be discussed. I am afraid there will be uncertainty.

And that's what he's fighting for.

"Far and near?"

Wang Kang said faintly, "the nine princes of Eastern Chu are in Fengguo now. How long did it take you to come here from Fengguo?"

As soon as this remark was made, several envoys immediately turned pale, even Wen Zhang.

Of course, it is impossible to spread such a thing, especially at such a sensitive time.

You have nothing to do. What are you doing together? Are you ready to fight together?

If Wang Kang knew what he would think, it was very likely that he would directly send troops to eliminate the enemy, which was entirely possible.

As a result, the nine kings have done a good job of keeping secrets. Even the people in Fengguo's capital don't know about it, but now Wang Kang knows about it.

"So, fifteen days is a lot of time!"

Wang Kang said calmly: "this is my condition. If I can't reach it, I will bear the consequences!"

"I know that you are worried that when the princes come to Shouchun, they will be taken care of by me. To tell you the truth, I will not do this. It is very bad for your personal reputation to do such a thing as soon as you succeed to the throne, and it will also lead to the dissatisfaction of the people of Eastern Chu and chaos."

"You can rest assured that I will only settle the Dongchu issue peacefully."

Wang Kang spread his hand and said, "I've already handed in my bottom line. How can I choose? You can do it."

He looked at Wen Zhang again and said, "in fact, you don't have to pretend to be tough. What else do you say? If I don't allow negotiation, all the princes of Eastern Chu will directly fight tomorrow?"

"Do you believe it?"

Wen Zhang was silent, which was originally used to cheat.

"The princes and kings are never monolithic. There may be trouble, but it's definitely not all. You should understand that."

Wen Zhang was speechless.

He thought he had seen through Wang Kang's cards, but he didn't expect others to see it more thoroughly than him

"I'm still saying that, I'm only for the people of Eastern Chu."

Wang Kang looked at Wen Zhang and said, "do you dare to make a bet with me?"

"What bet?"

Wen Zhang didn't respond for a moment. He didn't even notice it. His rhythm of thought has already started to follow Wang Kang

"As a well-known person, you should understand how harmful the vassal system is, right? From the standpoint of the central court. "

When he said this, Wang Kang motioned to hold back the other envoys and drive them out.

"This What are you going to do? "

Wen Zhang's face is a little unnatural.

"Answer my question."

Wang Kang stares at him.

Wen Zhang was silent. Of course, he knew how harmful the enfeoffment system was to the central court.

At first, the enfeoffment system could maintain a healthy development. Under the blood and system, the princes obeyed the emperor's orders, performed their duties and guarded the frontier.

But as time went on, under the existing system, the vassal states grew stronger, and the vassal kings became more ambitious.

If you meet a weak emperor, you have other ideas.

And the inheritance from generation to generation, blood thin, more and more far away, to now just have a surname.

This is why Xiang Lintian committed suicide and the royal family was destroyed. The first consideration of those princes was not their recovery, but their own safety.

By this time, it will not be able to stop, seriously restricting the development of the country, and endangering the central government's rule.

If it were him, he would certainly find a way to abolish it and strengthen centralization.

This is something everyone knows, but over the years, no one has been able to do it. The issues are too complicated.

It can't be solved in one sentence.

Think about how much Zhou Zhang was abolished when Jiang Chengli, the emperor of Zhao, cut off his vassal power and removed the old aristocratic power.

Without Wang Kang, it might be another endingThis is the reality.

"So you agree with me?"

Wang Kang asked with a smile.

"So what?"

Wen Zhang calmed down and said, "I am the counselor of Fengwang. What I am defending must be the interests of the Lord."

"That's no problem. I appreciate what you've done."

Wang Kang opened his mouth and said, "I know that Fengwang is very kind to you, so you will never leave. But after so many years, should it be over?"

Wen Zhang was stunned. This was actually his secret. Why did Wang Kang know?

Let him have a feeling that there is no escape in front of Wang Kang

"I don't force you, I just make a bet with you."

Wang Kang said calmly, "I can perfectly solve the problem of fengfen system without using extreme force. Do you believe it?"

"No use of force, no extremes?"

Wen Zhang shook his head and said, "I don't believe it."

He did not believe that the vassal states had existed for a long time.

The problems are not clear in a word.

Who didn't want to solve it, but who did?

Perhaps Xiang Lintian, the emperor of Chu, is the most likely one, but he is also dead

"I can do it, and it doesn't take long."

Wang Kang said: "if so, you will lose, then you will turn to me and be loyal to me!"

"This..."

Wen Zhang didn't know whether to cry or laugh. He turned around and found that he was waiting here. It was his honor to win Wang Kang's favor, which he knew very well.

"What if you don't?"

"If I don't do it, I won't do it. I don't ask you to stay in Fengguo."

Wang Kangli naturally said, "if I talk to you about terms, it will give you face. Do you want to talk to me?"

This is very unreasonable, but it also makes sense.

In Wang Kang's capacity, Xiang Baichuan will release people even if he puts pressure on Fengwang, and there is nothing to say.

What Wang Kang wanted was nothing but willingness.

"Yes, I will."

In this case, there is no way not to agree.

"In that case, you can leave. Send a letter to the person behind you in time. Remember the instructions. The deadline is 15 days."

Wang Kang said: "you can leave now. I will arrange to announce the result of the negotiation..."
