Chapter 55
Xiao Jingyong'an couldn't sit still. Xiao Jingsu was dissatisfied and called out "Second Uncle", and was interrupted by Xiao Dingtai with a wave of his hand. "Sir, you kids, don't interrupt!"
Xiao Dingquan endured it again and again, "When did I say that I was dissatisfied with the four princes discussing matters in the same court? Whether you sit or stand with me or stand is not a matter of principle. I believe that when my father was alive, he would definitely not want me, Xiao, and he was self-confidence. Unification of the world is an inevitable trend. Without rules, I just want to set some rules that Xiao can pass on for a long time."
Xiao Dingquan narrowed his eyes. He never dreamed that in the eyes of these people, he was still the former prince, and the three princes did not respect him as king in their hearts. They thought that his throne was their gift!
The controversy brought opposition, and the dissatisfaction of the three princes was like a basin of cold water that extinguished the raging fire burning in Xiao Dingquan's heart. After the three princes and Xiao Jingyong and others left, Xiao Dingquan found Zhao Lingwen again and said that he was playing chess with him, but during the whole process, Xiao Dingquan did not say a word, and Zhao Lingwen could not tell that he was in a bad mood.
"It's the minister, it's not. If it's not for the minister who gave these ideas to the king and reformed the government, it wouldn't cause such trouble for the king!"
Zhao Lingwen was a middle-aged man in his forties. He said he was from Liao, but in fact he was not. The Great Liao occupied the territory of the Central Plains, but he was from Yanzhou. His parents, wife and children were all killed by the Great Liao people. He escaped from Yanzhou for his life and surrendered to the Great Zhou Dynasty. Because of his knowledge, he was recommended to Xiao Dingquan and was highly valued.
When Xiao Dingquan was just a prince, he was an aide to Xiao Dingquan's mansion and has been following him to this day.
Xiao Dingquan raised his eyelids and looked at him, "This is not like what you can say!"
Zhao Lingwen smiled, "The king also knows my temper, so I dare to say, "The king is a very talented man, and he is one of the few heroes today..."
Speaking of the word "heroic ruler", Xiao Dingquan couldn't help but think of the girl who knelt in front of him and said, "The previous king is a hero." That girl, she admires heroes, is the kind of person who "scholars die for their confidants", and is also a woman with a very calm and rational relationship. Xiao Dingquan narrowed her eyes. She had never seen the old king before, but was willing to sacrifice her youth for a generation of heroes.
Xiao Dingquan couldn't help but be full of ambitions. The girl is afraid that she would look down on him now, but if he faces north and south alone in the future, what if he could surpass his father's achievements?
Thinking of Yuyan's beautiful face, if there was admiration for herself in her eyes, Xiao Dingquan was suddenly full of energy. He cleared his throat and listened to Zhao Lingwen finishing his words, "... With my analysis of the situation in the world, the Great Chu will definitely be the item in the Great Zhou in the future, and the land taken away by the Great Liao in Yanzhou will definitely return to the territory of the Great Zhou. The day of the Great Zhou's decree is set. The king has long been the lord of the world, and what is lacking now is just an opportunity to ascend to the extreme. I believe that this opportunity will come soon!"
At that time, he dominated the world and sat south. Who dared to question him? Who dared to despise him? Who dared to sit side by side with him?
Xiao Dingtai and Xiao Dingmin came to Xiao Dingguo's mansion together. In the pavilion in the back garden, three of them sat in the side. Xiao Dingguo was learning to make tea, but his skills were not very good and he could make it past. The tea tasted a little astringent and bitter, but no one cared about it.
Xiao Dingtai placed the teacup hard on the table, and a small hole was missing at the bottom of the top Ding Kiln teacup. Xiao Dingguo glanced at the small hole, raised his eyelids, and his eyes fell on Xiao Dingtai, and he still slowly threw pine nuts into the small red mud stove, "What's the temper?"
"Today, listen to what he said, isn't that reminding us that he is the king?"
"He is indeed the king, you didn't regard him as the king!" Xiao Dingguo reminded Xiao Dingtai, "He is no longer the four princes, don't forget!"
"Oh, I want to be king before those ministers. At the beginning, we promised the throne that was his, and he agreed to all the conditions he had put forward. Oh, no, it was not the conditions we put forward, but he proposed it himself, the country is shared, and the throne is sitting together!" Xiao Dingtai said.
"That's all jokes, don't take it seriously!"
Seeing that Xiao Dingguo had this attitude, Xiao Dingtai turned to Xiao Dingmin and said, "What do you think?"
Xiao Dingmin did not answer the conversation, but asked, "Just say what you want to do!"
"I think that as long as the three of us unite, he can't do anything to us!" Xiao Dingtai said, "Anyway, what he said must be counted. Humph, I knew he was a cunning person in the morning. I had promised that the blood letter oath was to be kept by me. Now he secretly robbed it again, so he can't let other things succeed."
At the court meeting the next day, four chairs were still placed on the tall jade steps. Unlike before, the slightly larger chair that originally belonged to Xiao Dingquan suddenly broke. As a last resort, the eunuch brought a chair that was exactly the same as the other three people and placed it on it for Xiao Dingquan to sit on it.
Xiao Dingquan sat down without saying a word, and he smiled, "It should have been like this for a long time. In the past, the chairs were bigger, but they were uncomfortable sitting. Since they were brothers, they should share the joys and sorrows!"
"The fourth brother said it very well!" Xiao Dingtai said, but he did not see the destructive intention that flashed through Xiao Dingquan's eyes.
Xiao Jingyong stood nearest to the jade steps. He lowered his eyes slightly, not knowing what he was planning. Today's dynasty meeting mainly discusses the attack on Shangdang.
Shangdang is close to Yanzhou and is now occupied by the Great Liao. Once Shangdang recovers, there will be an additional barrier to the north of the Great Zhou, and there will be no disaster in the north for a long time. In this way, the Great Zhou will free up more time to sort out the government affairs and attack the small courts of the Great Chu. Once the south is controlled, the fiscal revenue and rice and grain will be sufficient, and the recovery of Yanzhou is just around the corner.
This is Xiao Dingquan's idea. He did not say so many of his plans, but said, "Shangdang is a barrier to my north. Now it is being used as a springboard by the Da Liao and constantly attacking us. This time I will send the most brave generals and soldiers to hit Da Liao hard so that Da Liao knows that I, Da Zhou, are not so easy to bully!"
"Who can be my pioneer?"
"I would like to be the king to slash the head of the Daliao, cut it off, and offer it to the king!" Xiao Jingyong volunteered, and Xiao Dingquan saw it and was very pleased. Yesterday, Zhao Lingwen presented him a plan to break the situation under the control of the three major counties and kings, and said, "Borrow the power to fight the force."
Now, Xiao Jingyong is a knife in his hand, but now the knife has not yet been formed and the blade has not been opened. This battle is a good opportunity to hone him.
