Because he was afraid that Tang Yin would make public the fact that he had obtained the throne, Shao Fang did not give the order to stop the Feng Army from retreating.
Shao Fang returned to the Mo Du Zhenjiang, and not long after, a storm of blood was set off, as his target was the Shao Family. In order to grant him absolute orthodoxy and for the sake of not having anyone who could threaten his own throne, Shao Fang had ruthlessly attacked someone from the same clan.
At first, he pretended to look for some "evidence" to incriminate the sect. But later, Shao Fang was too lazy to frame him and immediately ordered him to be executed. At this time, Shao Fang showed the most ruthless and most unacknowledged side of his human nature.
At first, when Shao Fang had just inherited the throne, he had already wiped out a large number of the Shao Clan's relatives, including his little brother Shao Bo. However, at that time, he was the new ruler, and he needed to eliminate all the enemies in order to consolidate his throne, which was understandable. But now, his throne was already very stable, so if he were to go and clean up the Shao Clan, it would be unpopular.
Not only were the people of Mo Country resentful, even the ministers in the imperial court were against it. Many ministers asked Shao Fang, advising him not to harm the royal family in the same sect. After all, at a critical moment, the royal family was the strongest supporter of Shao Fang. No matter how enlightened the king was, he still needed someone to help him. He would slaughter the entire sect, and in the end, he would be left by himself. It was too late for regret.
But now, Shao Fang could not even hear a single word of theirs. Seeing that more and more ministers were going through the book, under his anger, Shao Fang immediately sent a decree to the entire country to kill three of them. Whoever tried to cover up for the royal family, they would all be punished by their own party, and the Nine Clan would be killed.
Based on the atmosphere at that time, regardless of how the ministers and monarchs disagreed, the monarch could not rashly execute the minister. Even if the person that went in to remonstrate was only a commoner, the monarch had to treat him with respect, otherwise, he would be crowned as a tyrant. Shao Fang obviously did not care so much anymore. He had to get rid of all the troubles in the future, or else, when Tang Yin had the key, he would not be able to keep his position on the throne anymore. He did not want to live in fear forever.
Even the Right Prime Minister who had gone all out to help him get the throne, Dong Sheng, had some complaints about Shao Fang's crazy actions. It was a pity that the current Shao Fang was no longer the Shao Fang of the past.
The clan leaders of the Royal Clans in the Mo Country were killed one after another by Shao Fang for all sorts of reasons, or for absolutely no reason at all. This caused everyone to feel threatened, and many clan leaders started to drag their families and escape from the Mo Country, either to the south, or to the north, to seek refuge in the Feng Country.
The Royal Family Clan's escape gave Shao Fang an excuse to kill them all. He publicly declared that the current royal family members were no longer the pillars of the Mo Country, and were no longer the king's right hand men. They were all worms of the Mo Country that had to be eradicated.
At this time, no one from Mo Country dared to speak any more words of advice, so everyone could only silently endure Shao Fang's brutality.
The Mo Country was in full display to clean up the royal family clan, but the situation on the side of the Feng Country was calm and peaceful. Tang Yin's relationship with Shao Fang, as well as his marriage with Ling Shuang, did not give the Feng Country much of a commotion.
The night that Tang Yin returned to the Yan City, with Qiu Zhen and the others taking the lead, all came at the same time to request an audience.
When they arrived, Tang Yin was having dinner with the four ladies. During the dinner, Wu Mei had asked them about his and Ling Shuang's marriage, but Tang Yin had laughed it off, not taking the marriage seriously. Seeing that he was treating her in such a playful manner, Wu Mei did not inquire any further.
Halfway through the meal, when they heard that Qiu Zhen and the other ministers had arrived, Tang Yin ordered them to wait in the study room. The wait lasted for less than an hour, until Tang Yin finished eating dinner with the four madams. Only then did he head towards the study room.
Tang Yin's study was not small, but it was already filled with people, making it a little crowded. Seeing that Tang Yin had arrived, everyone stood up to greet him, and said in unison: "Great King!"
Nodding his head in agreement, Tang Yin waved his hand, signalling for all the officials to take their seats.
"Great King, we have heard of the happenings at Mo Yu's border. Right now, we are facing a great enemy, so we should not offend the Mo Country and add another great enemy!" Zhang Han hurriedly said.
Tang Yin smiled slightly, shrugged and said: "It's not that this king has offended the Mo Country, but the Mo Country has fallen into a trick of the Yu Country.
Zhang Han Zheng said: "If that's the case, then the King should send out an envoy, bringing a heavy gift to the Mo Country, so that we can re-cultivate the good side of the Alliance."
Tang Yin chuckled: "Why do you want this king's envoys to gift you such gifts, and not your Mo Country to repair it on its own accord?"
Zhang Han said, "Right now, our country urgently needs the help of Mo Country to defend itself against powerful nations like Chuan Country And Zhen Country. Looking back, our country does not seem to be that important to Mo Country, so it is natural for us to take the initiative to express our goodwill ?"
Without waiting for him to continue talking, Tang Yin interrupted him and said, "Master Zhang sure knows how to speak from his Mo Country's point of view!"
Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji had not spoken a word the entire time, mainly because of Tang Yin's attitude. Through his conversation with Zhang Han, Tang Yin could see that Tang Yin did not have any intentions of stopping the Feng Mo Alliance's collapse, which also meant that Tang Yin agreed to the collapse of the two nations.
Hearing that Tang Yin's tone was starting to become unfriendly, Qiu Zhen was afraid that Zhang Han, this bookworm, would continue to go against Tang Yin's wishes. He straightforwardly asked: "Could it be that the King has intentions to battle with the Mo Country?"
Tang Yin heard and laughed, he did not answer directly, but asked back, "In these recent years, have my National Strength become stronger or weaker?"
Although Feng Country was empty right now, everyone could clearly see how strong the nation was. Forget about everything else, just annexing the eight counties of Ning Bei had already caused the strength of Feng Country to soar. In the past, Feng Country was a large country that lacked food, and because of the lack of food, they were unable to provide large amounts of troops. Now that they had annexed the eight counties of Ning Bei, it allowed them to secure a stable source of food.
The officials looked at each other and said in unison, "Our nation's strength has risen a lot compared to before."
Tang Yin nodded and asked: "Why would there be an increase in cultivation?" Without waiting for a reply, he continued, "Because of the war! Only war can allow our Feng Country to plunder rich lands, plunder other nations' wealth, plunder people, resources, and technology. Without war, our Feng Country will only decline and decline, and only continuous war will allow our Feng Country to grow stronger and stronger. " Saying that, Tang Yin stood up, walked to the wall, and waved his hand to remove the curtain hanging on the wall. Behind the curtain was the entire Haotian Empire, as well as the map of the surrounding countries. He pointed to the top of the map and said: "Everyone take a look, where is the country around our Feng Country that we can fight against? To the east is the sea, to the west is Tia, and to the north is Bessar and the Dookie that is about to be swallowed up by him.
Everyone subconsciously walked towards the map, upon closer inspection, they discovered that the map had many outlines of traces, and the majority of it was concentrated in Feng Mo. It was obvious that Tang Yin had been planning to use the soldiers for more than a day or two.
Qiu Zhen said, "So ? The King has long made preparations to engage in battle with the Mo Country! "0
"I wasn't prepared yet, and I didn't think that I would fall out with Shao Fang so quickly either. However, since we have already fallen out, there's no need to be polite anymore." After pausing for a moment, Tang Yin turned around and said: "Qiu Zhen, send a message to Tia's Sanshui Army, the entire army will return to the country to recuperate immediately!"
"Yes!" "Great King!" With regards to expansion, Qiu Zhen was one hundred percent in favor of Tang Yin's decision. The two of them had the same thoughts, they both thought that annexation was the only way out for the strong.
But Zhang Han immediately stood up to express his opposition, and said anxiously: "Great King, you must not, Mo Country cannot be compared with Ning Country. When fighting Ning Country, we have the help of Mo Country, but when fighting Mo Country, not only did we not send reinforcements, we even risked the danger of fighting Chuan Country And Zhen Country and other countries at the same time. Great King, you must not act rashly, and send troops out hastily! "
Tang Yin frowned, why was Zhang Han always afraid of tigers and wolves, how could he be so arrogant? At this time, Shangguan Yuanji finally opened his mouth and said: "Actually, breaking Mo Country is not as difficult as I thought."
"Oh?" Everyone's spirit was lifted, and they all looked towards Shangguan Yuanji.
Tang Yin asked: "What do you mean by that, Yuanji?"
Shangguan Yuanji said: "Shao Fang's throne is after all, not from the right path, so our country can send out spies and lurk in the Mo Country, spreading rumors amongst the people, revealing that Shao Fang obtained the throne and assassinated his father. As such, the loyalty of the citizens of the Mo Country will be greatly reduced. At the same time, the Great King can also support the other Royal families in the Mo Country, and let them join forces to impeach Shao Fang. As long as we can create chaos, as long as the Mo Country is chaotic, it will be beneficial to our country, and at that time, even if we can send troops, it will be twice the result with half the effort. "
Pow! Tang Yin snapped his fingers, laughed, and praised: "Yuanji's idea is good, let's do it this way!"
Hearing that, Zhang Han panicked and said: "My lord, you cannot! Although the King had some conflicts with the King Mo, the alliance of the Feng Country And Mo Country is still there. There is no proper reason for the King to send out her troops and Mo Country! "
Tang Yin and Shao Fang were both people with small stomachs, but in terms of tolerance, Tang Yin was much stronger than Shao Fang. Zhang Han had stood up against Tang Yin's intentions time and time again, but Tang Yin was able to endure it. It was also because of this that the ministers under him would dare to speak of their intentions again and again, and express their true thoughts in front of him.
"Master Zhang, before long, we will have a reason to send troops." Tang Yin laughed and said confidently.
"Huh?" Zhang Han was startled, and looked at Tang Yin puzzledly.
Tang Yin said: "Shao Fang knows that Ling Shuang and I are getting married, and he will definitely think that I have the intention to swallow Yu Country, and he will definitely not tolerate my Feng Country swallowing Yu Country. Because like this, it is equivalent to forming a circle around Mo Country, and he will definitely use troops, or against Yu Country, or against Feng Country in the short term. However, the southern part of our country has a heaven dangerous Ba Pass, which is easy to defend and hard to attack. You have to know, since Ling Shuang and I are married, if Mo Country attacks Yu Country, it goes without saying. There is no reason for me not to go and rescue him, and it would also make sense for me to send troops and Mo Country. "
