Chapter 532: The new emperor ascends the throne, the king of Chu stands on his own

"Father, isn't the child minister wrong?"
Zhao Yuanliang looked at his father uneasily. He had always been very afraid of his father.
After hesitating for a while, Wang Zhao slowly said, "Yuan Liang, it is not the time to deal with Xiao Ming at this time. Wang Xi sees this clearly."
"Father, I will not wipe out Xiao Ming in one fell swoop at this time, I am afraid that Xiao Ming will take the opportunity to grow bigger. I have been in contact with Xiao Ming. This person is very treacherous and must be guarded."
"Then if we Xiao Ming fight, other vassals take the opportunity to attack Chang'an?" Zhao Wang's eyes were sharp.
Zhao Yuanliang was shocked suddenly in a cold sweat. Back then, Beishan's hundreds of thousands of cavalry were defeated by Xiao Ming. This time, they must go all out to fight Xiao Ming again.
If other vassals take the opportunity to attack Chang'an and the hinterland of Zhao State, they will be dead.
"Erchen understands, now I should appease the other vassals first." Zhao Yuanliang said.
"Well, that's right. You can arrange for Xiao Wenxuan's state funeral and the thirteenth prince's enthronement now. After the new emperor is enthroned, the attitudes of the other princes will be clear. It will not be too late to make preparations then." Said slowly.
"Yes, Father."
Zhao Yuanliang bowed back.
Wang Xi turned around and walked out, but was stopped by Wang Zhao at this time. He asked, "How is Wanrong now?"
"Going back to your Highness, the empress still doesn't eat or drink, and she won't be able to hold it down like this," Wang Xi said.
Wang Zhao sighed slightly, "It really hurt her for her father's last will. This king is really ashamed."
"His Royal Highness, you can't be merciful in this competition. Your Highness is not wrong." Wang Xi was cautious.
King Zhao nodded, and asked: "This king asked you to give a notice to other vassals, and they can respond."
"His Royal Highness, no one of the kings has responded so far. It is estimated that they will not come to Chang'an to attend the funeral of the first emperor and the enthronement of the new emperor."
"Does this king really want to clean up these vassals one by one?" Zhao Wang's voice was mixed with anger.
Wang Xi sighed and stopped talking.
Although they have entered Chang'an, they still have a long way to go to get the world.
With a cold snort, Zhao Wang waved his hand to signal Wang Xi to leave.
Three days later, Xiao Wenxuan's state funeral was held in Chang'an City. Along Zhuque Avenue, Xiao Wenxuan's coffin was carried to the imperial mausoleum outside Chang'an City. The next day, the thirteen princes, who were only six months old, ascended the throne and worshipped King Zhao as the prison of the National University. General, rule state affairs.
The news from Chang'an broke out and the world was in an uproar.
Only a few days later, the king of Chu announced to the world that he denounced King Zhao as a chaotic courtier, and immediately assisted the three princes in Lin'an to become the emperor and self-reliance. At the same time, the king of Shu became the king of the three princes, and the southern rivers and mountains changed hands in one day.
...
In Qingzhou, news from all over the country of Dayu was introduced to the Qi Palace one by one.
In these days, Xiao Ming was thinking about the situation of the great Yu country in addition to arranging old officials and dignitaries from Chang'an.
When Zhao Wang staged a farce of ascending the throne in Chang'an, Fiji and Luo Quan went to Jinling City and Jizhou City successively, and Zhao's conspiracy was exposed by the two.
After the king of Chu assisted the three princes to support themselves, Fiji and Luo Quan also returned to Qingzhou from the fiefs of the Wei and Yong kings.
"His Royal Highness, King Wei's attitude is ambiguous, and it seems that he is unwilling to form an alliance with His Royal Highness to jointly deal with the current crisis." Fiji is a servant, full of anxiety.
Luo Quan came back from Fiji two days in the morning, and he said to Fiji: "I have been quite rewarded when I went to Jizhou this time. King Yong was very indignant at the rebellion of King Zhao, and he meant to form an alliance with His Highness to deal with King Zhao’s soldiers. ."
"Hey, it's a pity that he valued King Wei so much back then. I didn't expect that King Wei had a rebellious mind. This time he was unwilling to form an alliance with his Highness. At this time, it was clear that he had the mind to contend for the world." Fiji slapped the table severely.
Xiao Ming was not surprised at this result. He said, "No need to sigh in Feizhong Shu. It may not be a good thing for this king. This alliance requires the King Yong to agree to it. After all, King Yong is a consignment. As long as King Yong is here, he can block the attack from the west by King Zhao and the barbarians. As for King Wei, King Zhengchou has no excuse to beat him."
Pang Yukun said: "Wei Di is rich and has a large population. If His Royal Highness can annex Wei Di, her strength will be greatly increased."
Niu Ben said: "If your Royal Highness wants to take Wei Di, he must first take Pengzhou. This Pengzhou is guarded by traffic. It can attack Jiangnan in the south, and can enter the hinterland of the Central Plains in the west. Moreover, Pengzhou is surrounded by mountains and easy to defend. Difficulty is really a battlefield for military strategists."
Fiji sighed when he heard this. Now that King Zhao assisted the thirteen princes to ascend the throne, he has a great posture of holding the emperor to make the princes. King Chu is in Lin'an and he is said to have sent troops to attack the states and counties that once belonged to the royal family, King Ruyang. Not to be lonely with King Huainan, they took the opportunity to annex a large number of royal homelands, so it seemed that the situation in this world was irreversible.
Now even Xiao Wenxuan's resurrection can hardly stop the ambitions of the princes.
But he was still worried, so he said: "His Royal Highness, the minister thinks that the great danger of the world is King Zhao. After all, King Zhao used the barbarians to bring wolves into the house, and the barbarians looked at His Royal Highness and wished to overthrow Qingzhou immediately, so it was taken by the old ministers. Take precautions against King Zhao."
Pang Yukun said at this time: "However, King Zhao doesn't seem to want to go to war with His Highness now. The so-called imperial fate came from Chang'an two days ago, and he praised His Highness."
"Oh?" Fiji looked surprised.
At this time, Xiao Ming handed the imperial decree to Fiji. He said: "King Zhao and the poisonous snake will be together~EbookFREE.me~ Sooner or later, we can take a look at this imperial decree. We can’t believe it completely. "
Everyone nodded upon hearing this.
After a pause, Xiao Ming said: "Wang Zhao has done his best, but the princes of the world are not fools. Since the world is in chaos, they can only rely on their own abilities."
"So, your Highness is really going to take Pengzhou?" Fiji asked.
Xiao Ming nodded. The Pengzhou of the Great Yu Kingdom is the modern Pengcheng, which is Xuzhou in northern Jiangsu, and the land of Longxing, the former Han emperor Liu Bang.
This time he made up his mind to use troops and it was not a whim. It was precisely to prevent the barbarians and King Zhao from attacking that he prepared to annex Pengzhou. After all, Shandong and Henan have been the hardest-hit areas for food shortages in history. If you do not find a stable food for yourself Origin, this will severely limit his expedition ability.
Moreover, Pengzhou and its subordinate states and counties have a population of more than 500,000. This will provide him with a lot of manpower. The most important thing is that as the territory of the Wei king closest to his fief, the secret guard is of course the priority to infiltrate, and the folk drama in Qingzhou is also Pengzhou is quite influential. It can be said that the people here are longing for Qingzhou, and the only problem that needs to be solved is the local big clan.
