Chapter 572 The new king of Wu, Yang Wo's road to death
"The prince, the king died. As the prince, you should go to the mourning hall to be mourning for your father, but you are so immoral that you are so... it is too unconventional."
Xu Wen, who had dealt with Li Tianqu before, and the minister of Wu who had walked with him rushed over, rushed over and said angrily. Seeing that he looked angry, it was obvious that he was holding back his anger. This person was naturally Zhang Hao, the important official who is now in charge of military affairs with Xu Wen.
However, when Xu Wen and Zhang Hao came, they wanted to preach. Yang Wo's face became more hostile, and he was also following the temper of a donkey. He liked to listen to people's compliments, flattery, and praise, but once someone pretended to be criticized and educated, he would get angry. When he had an attack, he would only follow his own temperament, so he immediately replied sternly:
"Xu Wen, Zhang Hao, you two are just ministers appointed by your father. Gu did not regard you as my father-in-law and uncle-sun elders! What about Gu's funeral? Don't listen to any unsightly preaching! You don't mind being too lenient. Now Gu has inherited the throne, so how are you talking to your lord?"
Xu Wen winked at the side, as if signaling Zhang Hao, who was more angry on his face, tolerated for a while, slowed down his tone, and advised Yang Wo:
"In the world... lord, mourning for a father is a major human relationship. Only when a father and son have relatives and a righteous monarch and ministers can he be powerful. If the former king dies, we should continue to assist the lord and maintain the foundation of the Wu Kingdom. However, drinking and playing so much during the mourning of the former king will make the ministers feel heartbroken. If you continue for a long time, you will lose the hearts of the people. I believe the lord doesn't want to do this, right?"
"Xu Wen...What do you mean by this...?"
Originally, what Xu Wen asked himself was very tactful, but Yang Wo seemed to have grabbed his handle. He stared at him with a pair of tricks and said word by word;
"If Gu does not do what you said, you will not accept Gu's inheritance of the position of the king of Wu. What should you do next? Could it be that you will take Gu's life, seize power and usurp the throne, and you will occupy the foundation of my Yang family?"
Xu Wen and Zhang Hao's expression changed immediately when they heard this. If Yang Wo had to turn the words in a verbal way, it would not be a quarrel between the monarch and the ministers, but a charge of thief ministers who had ambition to usurp the throne and rebel! Xu Wen was shocked and angry. When he was about to defend himself, Yang Wo glared at him and shouted loudly, and his words were filled with strong resentment:
"You say I am not talented, why not kill me and do it yourself?"
"How could I betray my lord and seize power and rebellion by the former king's great kindness? I hope the lord will clearly observe!"
Xu Wen and Zhang Hao had to kneel down to the ground and show their loyalty. They also saw that Yang Wo not only acted recklessly, but his words already contained murderous intent. If this makes him unhappy again, when it comes to treason, it is necessary to punish you on the charge of treason!
Now I am the king of Wu. I used to rely on my father's value, but now I can't stand you and you still have to pretend!
Until he saw Xu Wen and Zhang Hao, Yang Wo laughed out loud, and then laughed wildly. He glanced over with contempt in his eyes, and then he greeted him again, and then rode away with his followers...
Xu Wen's back was soaked with cold sweat, but after a little calmed down, another burst of anger rose in his heart. Yang Wo, the child, was only because he was the eldest son of his lord and the other children were young, succeeded to the throne as the lord of Wu... But what kind of virtue does he have? After all, I will do my best to be loyal to the first lord, so how can I tolerate him being bullied like this!?
However, the King of Wu still had to be done by that child... He is so arrogant now, and he is even more hostile to our old ministers... His life, life, future and family business are controlled by him. The longer the time, I am afraid that the situation will become more and more dangerous...
Xu Wen's face was gloomy and he slowly raised his head. However, when his eyes were facing Zhang Hao beside him, they clearly noticed a strange color from each other's eyes...
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Since Yang Wo inherited the position of King Wu, news has been heard from the Wu Kingdom one after another. After hearing the news, Li Tianqu shook his head repeatedly, and even felt a sense of exclamation.
Because Li Tianqu couldn't help but wonder: Yang Wo's child really thought he could suppress the meritorious officials of Wu State? Why did his behavior seem to be dead as if he took the initiative to die...
After hearing that since his father died, Yang Wo, who had been indulging in his own way like a wild dog, became more and more arrogant and extravagant, also formed a new army himself, called the "East Court Horse Army" and widely placed his confidants to shoulder heavy responsibilities. Most of the ministers appointed by him belonged to the young and strong faction in the Wu Kingdom. It can even be said that he was the hawks and dogs who deliberately promoted him. He relied on his power to suppress the meritorious officials who had originally conquered the world with his father Yang Xing.
Not only that, Zhou Yin, the judge of the Ningguo Army, once said bluntly that although Yang Wo was the heir, he could not protect the foundation of Wu. If the lord really had a good fortune in the future... he suggested that the meritorious general Liu Wei temporarily take charge of the state affairs and wait until the lord and other lords grow up to hand over power.
However, what is Yang Xingmi? He has done everything he can to eliminate the traitors who have ill-intentioned evil spirits, and has had the experience of gritting his teeth with such hatred as Tian Feng's rebellion... Yang Wo is no longer successful, at least he is his own flesh and blood. What time is this? The previous mutiny of the vassal states killed the governors and became independent. Now the powerful ministers in various countries are in the upper hand, and it is normal to seek power and usurp the throne. If Liu Wei and other direct confidants, if they entrust their regency, wouldn't this be equivalent to handing over the Yang family's foundation to outsiders? So they would not accept Zhou Yin's opinion at all.
However, this incident also reached Yang Wo's ears. Not long after he ascended the throne, he angrily scolded Zhou Yin, "You are selling people to the country, how can you meet again!" and killed him...
However, Zhou Yin also thought about the long-term view of Wu State, and the proposal was not adopted. Yang Wo has held a grudge against him until now and has lacked enough reasons to kill the heroes who promoted the previous kings, so this inevitably caused greater panic among the senior officials of Wu State.
What made Li Tianqu even more speechless was that after Yang Wo became the lord of Wu, he soon began to start a war.
However, Yang Wo seemed to know that the Wei State in the north could not be provoked, and it was not that he would still have to fight with his mortal enemy of his forces, Wu Yue State, but that he would have to form new enemies. The direction of the army was the Chu State in the west, which was dominated by Ma Yin...
Originally, the situation of Wu was already surrounded by powerful enemies. Li Tianqu was thinking about the principle of attacking one side and winning over one side. Everyone knew what it was... As a result, Yang Xing secretly showed that he was better than Ma Yin, and he comforted the Chu State in the west and rarely had any wars. At least he didn't have to worry about pressure from the other side and could focus on confronting hostile forces... Yang Wo was so good that he took the initiative to provoke the Chu State, which was in peace with him. Isn't this let his father's previous efforts go to waste?
However, after thinking about it carefully, Li Tianqu recalled that even if he took the official history line, Yang Wo did indeed, after he inherited the position of Lord of Wu, and was in a hostile environment with Liang, Wu and Yue, and soon launched troops to attack Chu. He really dared to do this...
Even though the civil and military officials of the Wu State tried hard to advise the troops to be used one after another, the water and road troops suffered heavy casualties, and were trapped in and out of horses, it was not suitable to start a war, and it should not be in vain to make enemies... But Yang Wo not only did not listen to the advice, but also became more and more excited as he persuaded him... Then he ordered the general Chen Zhixin, who was promoted, to lead 30,000 naval troops along the river and attack the territory under the rule of Chu.
After hearing the news, Ma Yin, the King of Chu, was naturally furious. When Yang Xingmi released my brother Ma Qi back, he deliberately showed kindness and avoided fighting with Wu as much as possible... Over the years, first Zhu Wen and then Li Tianqu, our Chu State was vain to the Central Plains dynasty. It is said that you, Wu State, first with Liang and then Wei as an enemy... Unless Yang Xingmi threatens our territory, Gu did not respond and fight together to fight against you, Wu State, which is also the most righteous...
But Yang Wo, this little bastard, thinks that our Chu State is a soft persimmon that is easy to squeeze!?
