Chapter 32: Unifying the Rivers and Mountains

"You are also very clear about the purpose of coming here." Zhao Kuangyin held his hand and chuckled: "You may have misunderstood something. I am just helping the new emperor to eliminate the evil spirit. The new emperor is still the new emperor."

"As for what the governors are talking about, I'm sorry, Zhao doesn't know what you are talking about."

Pretending to be confused with clarity! Some messengers had already shown unhappy expressions, but because Zhu Lin was sitting there, they did not dare to act rashly.

Zhao Kuangyin was very satisfied with the appearance of these envoys who wanted to speak but did not dare to speak. He smiled and said, "Everyone, the imperial edict of the new emperor is coming soon. When the time comes, I will just assist the new emperor."

"Then General Zhao, where are the new emperors?" an envoy squinted and said, "Since the general entered Kaifeng City, all civil and military officials have not attended the morning court for a long time. Could it be that the new emperor is unwilling to attend the morning court?"

Zhao Kuangyin made a surprised expression: "Oh, how do you know that the new emperor is over nine years old and is still a playful age. If you don't want to go to court early, that's natural. All messengers must understand."

"Hmph!" The messenger said angrily: "But why did I hear that the new emperor has been under house arrest by General Zhao?"

"Bold!" Zhao Kuangyin said angrily: "Who is rumored? House arrest of the new emperor? Where is it? Provoking my relationship with the new emperor is the crime of beheading!"

The six messengers took a deep breath, and they felt anger burst out in their chests. Zhao Kuangyin was too much! It was obvious that they didn't want to have a good talk with them.

"General Zhao, today there are only his own people here. Since you have been pretending to be confused, then I will tell you clearly!"

Zhao Kuangyin narrowed his eyes, it seemed that these messengers could not hold back their anger.

The six envoys looked at each other and seemed to have already agreed. One of them stood up and said, "General Zhao is powerful, and this is indeed true, but our soldiers and horses in the six counties are not for people to see!"

"Of course, until the last moment, the governors don't want to fight each other. General Zhao, you want to be the emperor, yes! We fully support it. Not only that, we will also help General Zhao eliminate the opposition faction of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

Zhao Kuangyin was silent and did not speak. The envoy continued: "But in exchange, General Zhao must agree to the raising of soldiers in our counties after ascending the throne."

"Then what's the difference between this and your king of deprived status?" Zhao Kuangyin sneered: "Even if I ascend the throne at that time, can I control you?"

The messenger did not answer Zhao Kuangyin's question. It seems that they do not want to be controlled by Zhao Kuangyin.

"Is this what your governor mean?" Zhao Kuangyin asked.

The messengers were silent: "Yes."

Zhao Kuangyin leaned back: "Please go back!"

The envoys were all shocked, and Zhao Kuangyin actually refused? Now that the Great Zhou Dynasty is so chaotic, isn’t he afraid that the governors of various counties will raise an army?

"I told you to go back, don't you understand?" Zhao Kuangyin said ruthlessly: "The governors of the six counties intend to rebel, and the Great Zhou royal family can only raise an army to suppress them. Do you understand what I said?"

"You!" The envoy pointed at Zhao Kuangyin in disbelief. Is he going to start a war with them?

Zhao Kuangyin knew that war was inevitable, and these governors were not fuel-efficient lamps. If they did not completely suppress them, they would think of borers and kept gnawing on the spine of this country.

"snort!"

The messengers looked at each other and stood up to leave. Since that's the case, they were going to go back and report.

"General Zhao told you to leave, did I tell you to leave?" Zhu Lin said lazily: "Don't you take me seriously?"

The messengers were stunned. One of them looked at Zhao Kuangyin. Zhao Kuangyin had no choice but to spread his hands, indicating that he could not control this person.

The messengers retreated. The sitting boy exuded a very dangerous aura. Zhu Lin's eyes were fierce. He grabbed forward, and the messenger's chest suddenly changed!

Zhu Lin actually killed someone in the Zhao Mansion Banquet Hall! The messenger attacked by the spell fell to the ground unwillingly. Zhu Lin clapped his hands and said, "Don't be nervous, I'll kill this person and go back and tell your dog owner."

"If you want to come, just come. If you dare to raise an army, I will make them worse than death. This dead man is just a gift to the governors!"

Seeing that the messengers were frightened and unresponsive, Zhu Lin glared at them: "What? Don't you get out? Do you want me to kill two more?"

The messengers were startled. They carried the corpse and left the Zhao Mansion in a mess, openly carrying a dead person. This incident was about to spread soon.

After the messengers left, the banquet hall was silent as if dead. Zhao Kuangyin sat in the main seat without saying a word, and the generals below were also terriblely silent.

After all, war will begin, but there is one thing that is that they are the right side. In the eyes of the people, the governors of the six counties are no longer serving the king's army, but planning rebellion.

Zhu Lin stood up at the right time, clasped his fists and said, "General Zhao, heaven must do its own way, and people must choose their own way. Since he is unwilling to compromise, then only a complete conquest can bring victory."

"General Zhao, although the governors of the six counties have an advantage in numbers, we have mastered the most elite Northern Expedition Army and the imperial guards in the capital, with more than 100,000 troops. These soldiers are enough to deal with local soldiers who have been pampering for many years."

"And morally, those governors are all treasons, and the people will not help them. Geographically, we Kaifeng radiate across the country, and we can attack and retreat and defend, and we can occupy the right time, place and people. General Zhao, don't hesitate anymore!"

Zhao Kuangyin's eyes became more and more firm, and he nodded and said, "What Zhu Shaoxia is saying is! If we don't completely eliminate them, their ambitions will become more and more expanding. Since that's the case, then prepare to unify the mountains and rivers!"

"Unify the mountains and rivers!"

"Unify the mountains and rivers!"

Since you have made a decision, just do it directly! This is the person who can achieve great things.

Zhao Kuangyin said ruthlessly: "Wang Shenqi, you should command the imperial guards in the capital. During the war, you must ensure the internal security of the capital and don't let the rebellion in the capital take advantage of the loopholes."

"Shi Shouxin, Zhao Pu, Wang De, Zhang Guanghan, Gao Lingduo, you organize troops, I will send someone to find the emperor to attack the emperor now. Since you want to fight, you must take the initiative."

"At that time, our army is approaching, and if they lose the hearts of the people, they will definitely lose their morale."

Shi Shouxin said in a deep voice: "General! When will he set off!"

Zhao Kuangyin thought for a while and said, "It will take ten days at the latest for those envoys to return to their territory. We will set off the day after tomorrow! In this way, we can catch those governors off guard!"

"yes!"
