Under Yue Ze's guidance, all the dukes entered the palace. They walked in front, with their respective generals, ministers, and followers following far behind.
The garden in the palace was huge and beautiful. There were mountains, water, flowers, plants, and trees in the garden. The feeling of being in there was similar to being in the wilderness.
Yue Ze pointed to the long walkway built at the center of the lawn and laughed, "Disciples of the Royal Brother, let's take a seat over there."
It was already late autumn now, but in the Imperial Town, he couldn't feel the slightest bit of sultry air. Everyone was also unwilling to sit in the house, so Yue Ze's suggestion fit perfectly.
In the gallery, the kings sat down, and the maids served them tea and refreshments.
Shao Fang was the first to speak: "The Chastity King called the Emperor, and even issued an edict inviting me to wait for the Marquis to come to Shang Jing as a saint, in the end none of us went, but brother King Chuan sent a letter to summon all of us into Imperial Town, it seems that brother King Chuan is more prestigious, and also has a lot more weight than the Chastity King!" Even if he was flattering Xiao Xuan with these words, she was also testing the goal of Xiao Xuan initiating a gathering of kings.
"Humph!" Without waiting for Xiao Xuan to speak, Yue Ze snorted and sneered: "How does he, Li Hong, have the guts to shamelessly call himself emperor in Shang Jing? How laughable!"
Ann Country had always been on good terms with Chuan Country, and Yue Ze had always been the leader of the group. Anyone could tell from his taunting words at this moment, that Xiao Xuan's attitude was basically the same.
Everyone understood what he meant, and they knew which direction to go next. Li Xin smiled and said, "This king does not know how the situation with the princes is. Just by talking about my Huan Country, after the Chastity King became the emperor, the letters of dissatisfaction and reprimand from the citizens piled up like a mountain. If this goes on, this king will not have to do anything else everyday, and will not be able to finish reading the entire book."
Yue Ze slapped his thigh, and said: "The Ann Country is also like that! Presumably, the other duchies are the same. It is understandable that Old Thief Li Hong is unscrupulous and blatantly usurping the throne. "
Shao Fang shrugged his shoulders and said: "The Chastity King has already usurped the position of Emperor, and even called me Emperor in Shang Jing. I heard that you have even made the Imperial Jade Seal, all the lords are unhappy, the citizens are unhappy, what can you do?"
"This thief has already caused the Heavens to be angry, and the law cannot tolerate him. We, the princes, have eaten the grace of the Son of Heaven. Having received the favor of the Son of Heaven, we naturally have to help the Son of Heaven share his worries!" The smile on Yue Ze's face gradually disappeared, and his two round eyes shone brightly.
"Elder Royal Brother Yue's meaning is ?"
Yue Ze did not speak anymore, and turned to look at Xiao Xuan.
When the time came for him to make a decision, he would not dare spout nonsense. Xiao Xuan had been observing from the side and discussing Li Hong becoming the emperor. Only Yue Ze, Shao Fang and Li Xin looked to be very enthusiastic, while Tang Yin and Ling Shuang remained silent throughout.
The Yu Country was too weak and was almost reduced to a mere subordinate of the Feng Country. Ling Shuang's opinion could be ignored, but the key point was what Tang Yin meant.
Logically speaking, although Li Hong was the emperor, the thing that had the most impact on the kingdoms was the control of the Son of Heaven's Feng Country, but strangely, his Feng Country had not been affected at all, as if he had tacitly accepted Li Hong's idea of being a emperor, making it hard for people to fathom.
Xiao Xuan laughed lightly, then suddenly asked: "Younger Royal Brother Tang, I wonder how the Feng Country is doing right now, and how the citizens are reacting?"
Since the question was on his mind, Tang Yin could no longer pretend to be deaf and mute. Finally, he said: "It's about the same as the situation in the Royal Brother, where the citizens' reactions are also very intense.
"Then what is Younger Royal Brother Tang planning?"
Tang Yin smiled slightly, and said: "My Feng Country is located in the extreme north, and is thousands of kilometers away from Shang Jing.
Xiao Xuan nodded his head, and laughed: "So that means, Younger Royal Brother Tang is also unhappy with the matter of the Chastity King?"
Tang Yin smiled, and said unclearly: "All the Royal Brother s have expressed their dissatisfaction, but in front of all the Royal Brother s, I do not dare to be an incompatible person."
The meaning behind his words was that since everyone wasn't satisfied, he wouldn't mind letting them have their way.
Xiao Xuan thought. Sly!
Originally, it was related to the personal benefits of the Feng Country, but Tang Yin pretended not to care. But it didn't matter. What they needed to do now was to eradicate Li Hong as soon as possible and divide up the Zhen Country.
He stood up, clasped his hands behind his back, and said, "This king understands the intentions of the various officials, and is dissatisfied with Li Hong's usurping of the throne. If the Son of Heaven could issue an edict for us to send troops against him, this king thinks, no prince would refuse, right?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone present changed. Speaking of which, when it really came to doing something, it was a completely different matter.
Li Xin frowned and asked: "Elder Royal Brother Xiao is saying that we should join forces to send troops to suppress the Chastity King?"
"Huh?" Xiao Xuan waved his hand and said: "This is not my intention, but rather, it depends on the decision of the Son of Heaven. If the Son of Heaven were to issue an imperial edict, how could we disobey?"
Shoot the bird at the head. From Li Hong's reaction when he claimed that he was the emperor, it could be seen that he was unlucky. Xiao Xuan had no choice but to restrain himself and ask the Son of Heaven to pass down the decree to punish Li Hong.2
Yue Ze rolled his eyes, and laughed out loud: "Why is it so difficult for the Son of Heaven to issue the edict? The key thing is, after the Son of Heaven decrees the decree, the Guild won't obey the decree! "
When he finished, the scene was silent. Seeing that no one was taking the lead, Yue Ze's round body slowly stood up, and said: "Since official Li does not want to speak first, then let this king agree on it, my Ann Country is willing to obey orders, and send troops to suppress the traitor Li Hong!"
As his voice fell, Li Xin also stood up and shouted loudly, "The Huan Country is also willing to obey the sacred order!"
The two of them made their stance clear, and the rest depended on Xiao Xuan, Tang Yin, Shao Fang and Ling Shuang's attitude.
Xiao Xuan was the initiator, so anyone could guess what he was thinking. Ling Shuang wanted to stand up, but seeing that Tang Yin had yet to move, she shrank back into her original position.
It was understandable for Tang Yin to be putting on an act, but since Shao Fang did not move, it made Xiao Xuan and the rest a little surprised.
Even before Xiao Xuan could speak, Yue Ze had already asked a question on his behalf and said, "Younger Brother Shao, you were saying it well just now, why are you hesitating now?"
Shao Fang deliberately revealed a difficult expression, glancing at Tang Yin at the side. With a wry smile, he said, "It is only right and proper to punish traitors. This king also agrees." However, what this king is afraid of is that when my Mo Nation sends out its troops, there will be thieves secretly doing tricks behind them and sending their troops to invade our territory!
However, he was worried that Mo Country would seize the opportunity when they sent troops to suppress Zhen Country, and invade from a large scale once again.
"As far as I know, Little Brother Tang Xian never forgot about my Mo Country. A while ago, he was still hoarding a large amount of materials in the Hetian Town. But then, he suddenly caught fire. I heard he burned quite a lot of them, no?" Shao Fang asked with a smile.
It was good that he did not mention this matter, but when this matter was brought up, the flames of fury in Tang Yin's heart burned once again. There is no need to ask, the attack on Hetian Town must have been done by the Mo Country. If not for the ambush this time, Feng Country would have long ago completed the pre-battle preparations.
Damn! From the looks of it, these two were going to argue again. Yue Ze, this landowner felt helpless, and waved his hands towards Tang Yin and Shao Fang, saying: "My two royal brothers, now is not the time to talk about the war between you two. I hope you two royal brothers can put more emphasis on the overall situation."
Shao Fang snorted, and said with a heavy tone: "The safety of Mo Country, for this king, is the biggest situation!"
Yue Ze's old face darkened. Just as he was about to speak, Xiao Xuan raised his hand and stopped him in his tracks. When the various nations send troops together and the various dukes participate together, we will no longer have to worry about anyone secretly tampering with each other. If there is really bad luck, we can also deal with it in front of everyone, This King promises that this king will definitely not side with anyone. If the hidden Duke does not give justice, then This King will be the first to go against him! "
His words were mainly aimed at the battle-loving Tang Yin, and at the same time, dispelled the worries in Shao Fang's heart.
Sure enough, after Shao Fang heard this, he stood up and said: "This king doesn't need to worry about Elder Royal Brother Xiao's words, it's just that I don't know if Lie Gongzi agrees with Elder Royal Brother Xiao's idea."
"This King has no objection." Yue Ze and Li Xin spoke out at the same time, after which, everyone's eyes landed on Tang Yin's face, waiting for him to express his opinion.
Tang Yin indeed really wanted to swallow the Mo Country, and salivate deeply about the vast expanse of Mo Country, but he could clearly distinguish the severity of the matter. Since the various dukes had the intention of joining hands to suppress Li Hong, Feng Country naturally had to raise both hands in support.
He pondered for a moment, then got up and said, "Fine! I shall leave everything to the Elder Royal Brother Xiao. "
As he expressed his opinion, Ling Shuang also stood up to express her consent.
Seeing that the five kings had accepted his suggestion, Xiao Xuan laughed and nodded: "Okay! Then, I will settle this matter with Lie Gong! The six nations of Chuan, Feng, An, Mo, Huan, and Yu have teamed up, and the six kings have set out together to lead the armies of the six nations to suppress the Zhen Country. In this battle, they have sworn to kill the traitors and wipe out the bandits.
Ah? Everyone inhaled a cold breath of air. According to what they heard, Xiao Xuan not only wanted to chase Li Hong off the stage, he also wanted to destroy their Zhen Country.
With the combined strength of the six nations, exterminating Zhen Country was definitely not a problem, but there was one thing that all the dukes had to consider, and that was, after exterminating chastity, who would be the one to own Zhen Country?
There were three nations bordering the Zhen Country: Chuan, Huan, and An, while Feng, Mo, and Yu were not adjacent to the Zhen Country, so the matter of dividing the territories was also very difficult to deal with.
With regards to this, Shao Fang was the first to step out and say: "Of course exterminating the chaste is feasible, and Li Hong reaped what he sowed. However, Elder Royal Brother Xiao, after exterminating the chaste, how are we supposed to split the land in the Zhen Country?"
"Since the six nations have joined hands to send out the army, naturally, the six nations have to split it equally!" Xiao Xuan said as a matter of fact.
