Chapter 624

PS: there are a few updates in the past two days. Snail has a rest in the past two days. By the way, he has sorted out his ideas and will resume the update tomorrow.

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

This time, he asked Xiao Ziyan to come here out of apparent courtesy. After all, he decided that Xiao Ziyan had to do it. Who let him be a golden man now?

Seeing off Xiao Ziyan, Xiao Ming and Fei yue'er go to the pavilion outside the bedroom hall. At this time, he suddenly asks, "why did the princess suddenly mention the matter of Huainan king just now?"

Fei yue'er said with a slight smile: "when your highness is not in Qingzhou, many officials have mentioned it. It seems that both his father and Pang Shoufu have this intention. His father expected that the three families would attack his highness. Among them, the king of Yan must be the initiator, and the south of Yan is the feudal kingdom of the king of Huainan. The two families had a fight for the Royal City, and the king of Huainan is quite satisfied with him Resentment. At this time, if your highness proposes the alliance, the king of Huainan may agree. "

"That's what faggot taught you." Xiao Ming's vision is far-reaching. He and Fei yue'er are just a political marriage. Now he seems to have to follow the traditional way of every emperor.

Fei yue'er sighed and said: "Your Highness, not only your father, but also my concubine. In this way, I can help your highness stabilize the country and open up branches and leaves for your highness. My concubine 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. After all, he is still unable to change the traditional form of imperial power.

While they were talking, Wang Xuan suddenly came up to him and saluted Fei yue'er and Fei yue'er. Wang Xuan opened his mouth and said nothing.

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

"There are good and bad. I don't know which one your highness should listen to first?" Wang Xuan is rarely humorous.

"I always like to bite the hard bone first. Let's talk about the bad news." Xiao Ming said.

"After the Chang'an rebellion, the king of Chu went all the way south to capture the Royal prefectures and counties. A month ago, the king of Chu's army arrived near Annam. It is said that they met the invading Annam and French troops." Wang Xuan said slowly.

"French." Xiao Ming's heart leaps. This Annam is Vietnam. According to Claire, the present Annam has become a colony after the joint invasion of the French and the Spanish.

The French had always been ambitious and wanted to get through the trade ports between Annam and Dayu, so they had been instigating Annam to invade northward. Now the news Wang Xuan brought back confirmed that.

"This is really bad news. I hope that the king of Chu will not be a traitor to the French." Xiao Ming is a little worried. Now the foundation of the alliance between the king of Chu and him is guns and artillery.

If the king of Chu compromised with the French to sell his territory in exchange for technology and weaponry, he might soon turn around to deal with him.

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

"our maritime eye liner is coming back, and the Japanese are dispatching the troops. They are ready to cross the sea at the end of this month to invade Korea." Wang Xuan smiles.

Hearing this news, Xiao Mingzhong suddenly relaxed. In this way, the attention of the barbarians might turn to Korea, so that they would not participate in the alliance of the three kings.

"Any other news?" Xiao Ming asked.

"Yes, the fourth prince had a bad time in the state of Yan. He was humiliated by Cui Zhang and Cui Tong several times in Bozhou, and now he is very embarrassed." Wang Xuan said, "I have been in secret contact with the fourth prince. The fourth Prince has a different heart in this life. He said that as long as his highness can help him capture the state of Yan, he will regard his highness as the king."

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

"Your Highness is wrong. There are also many contradictions among the royal families in the state of Yan. The Tian family and the Ji family of the state of Yan have been dissatisfied with the king of Yan for a long time. The lower official has sent people to investigate. Indeed, the fourth prince said that the Tian family and the Ji family are the wives of the two concubines of the king of Yan. In the name of the virtuous king, the king of Yan ceded the land of the two families and their affiliated families to the common people. Since then, the two families have a grudge."

"I see. If you want to be a virtuous king, you must offend the rich. It's interesting to be the king of Yan." Xiao Ming said.

Wang Xuan said with a smile, "Your Highness is wrong this time. The king of Yan is just crafty. He has occupied the land of other powerful families. Part of it has been returned to the people, but part of it has fallen into the hands of the Cui family."

"Well, the fourth Prince is likely to succeed." Xiao Ming was suddenly a little excited. He said, "this time the three kings alliance is the right time. It's just that the king of Yan is not a good thing, so is he."

Wang Xuan nodded, he said: "but at present, there are Japanese countries in the north, barbarians covetous, Annan country in the south, Tubo frequent invasion in the West. The lower officials think that the current Royal Highness should appease the vassal kings like the former Emperor, and let them respect his highness."

Xiao Ming sighed slightly. Wang Xuan's meaning is very simple, that is, let him learn from Xiao Wenxuan to stabilize the country, and then the imperial power will be in hand to clean up the disobedient curfew.At this time, he realized how difficult it was for Xiao Wenxuan to maintain an undivided Chongqing state.

"I understand what you mean." Xiao Ming said.

Like Pang Yukun and Fiji, now he needs to unite all the forces that can be united, even the powerful families. Only in this way can he unify the state of Chongqing as soon as possible, instead of wasting his national strength in the long civil war.

He is very clear about the fourth prince, but now the enemy of the enemy is a friend, as long as the fourth prince 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 when Huang Pao was formally added, could he hope to restore the state of Dayu to the situation before the Chang'an rebellion without bloodshed. In other words, as long as he subdued the king of Zhao and the king of Liang, he would be enough.

"By the way, your highness, there is another happy event." Wang Xuan suddenly laughed unkindly, "the king of Huainan is threatened by the king of Yan in the north and the king of Chu in the East. Now there are many officials in Jingzhou's Officialdom who suggest that the king of Yan marry his highness. The custom of Qingzhou City is that Huainan merchants deliberately put out a screening to test his highness. Now it seems that Pang Shoufu and Feige are very much in agreement."

"The king of Huainan can not only threaten Yandi, but also set a nail in front of the king of Chu's gate. It can be said that his position is very important, and his fleet can arrive within seven days from Jinling City. If he can make friends with the king of Chu, it will be icing on the cake." Xiao Ming pondered.

Wang Xuanwen began to laugh and said, "Your Highness, I want to tell you some important information. That's it. These are the rest of the information."

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