The news that Song Yan had recruited 80,000 troops soon spread to Yan and Zhao.
For a time, both Yan and Zhao felt very uneasy.
Finally, after several days of consultation, Yan and Zhao decided to form a coalition again to attack Qi.
When the two kingdoms of Yan and Zhao formed an alliance, spies spread the news out of Linshui County.
Compared with the backward message delivery in this world, Song Yan invented the bird delivery method. Therefore, it takes ten days to deliver a message in other countries, but it takes him two days at most.
Knowing that Yan and Zhao formed a coalition, Song Yan saw hope of completing the third mission.
Originally, he planned to recapture the entire territory of Qi and return it to Fuguo, and then let Prince Jiang Dan ascend the throne.
Now it seems that Jiang Dan can be allowed to ascend the throne early, and he can lead the army to defeat the Yan-Zhao coalition forces head-on on the battlefield.
With the idea of letting Jiang Dan ascend the throne.
Song Yan immediately summoned Meng Bozhao, Shen Du, Song Xiu and other senior officials.
"I plan to let the prince ascend the throne and become the king of Qi!"
Song Yan said bluntly.
During this year, everyone was used to Song Yan's direct dealings. Meng Bozhao and Shen Du were overjoyed when they heard that Song Yan was going to enthrone the crown prince. Song Xiu looked a little surprised.
Jiang Dan, who was also in the conference room this time, looked very excited.
"What do you think? If you have no objections, we will arrange for the crown prince to ascend the throne in Linshui County in three days!" Song Yan said in a deep voice.
"My subordinate agrees."
Meng Bozhao said without hesitation that his Meng family was loyal to the Qi royal family during his time. Although Song Yan once said that he would not get involved in the throne, in the past year, Song Yan's prestige has become higher and higher, so he became worried again, for fear that in the future One day, Song Yan directly deposed Prince Jiang Dan and proclaimed himself king.
In fact, if Song Yan really wanted to do this, no one could stop him. After all, his prestige was there. Moreover, over the past year or so, several of his inventions had created astonishing wealth for the Qi State, and the common people also lived a better life. Have a good life.
If he becomes the king of Qi, Qi will become the most powerful country in China soon, and it is not impossible to even unify the mainland of China.
Therefore, when Meng Bozhao heard Song Yan's proposal to let Jiang Dan, he was relieved but also very ashamed because he was cautious in judging the king's belly.
"The lower official also agrees." Shen Du followed.
As for Hetai and others, they all followed Song Yan's will, so they all agreed with Prince Jiang Dan's ascension to the throne.
"Well, let General Meng and Master Shen take care of the crown prince's enthronement!" Song Yan made the final decision.
After hearing Song Yan's words, Jiang Dan's hands under the table secretly squeezed together.
Over the past year or so, his personality has changed a lot. Although he is only nine years old, his mind has fully matured.
His desire for power is also very strong. Now that he can finally ascend the throne as king, can he get rid of Song Yan's control
"Let's discuss the second thing! According to the news from the spies from Yan and Zhao, Yan and Zhao have formed an alliance again and will form a coalition of 200,000 to attack our country, Qi!"
As soon as this news came out, everyone suddenly changed their expressions.
Especially the number of 200,000 troops made everyone feel extremely heavy.
"Although the coalition forces are large in number, they are not invincible. Moreover, it will not take a day or two to gather an army of 200,000. Therefore, it should be a month before the 200,000 troops attack! Then after the Yan-Zhao coalition arrives Before now, we only need to do two things, first, step up the training of new recruits, and second, completely assimilate Long'an and Shunhe County!"
After the high-level meeting.
Everyone in Qi State took action quickly.
Three days later, Prince Jiang Dan officially ascended the throne as the new King of Qi. On the day he ascended the throne, he rewarded all the ministers and named Song Yan the general of Qi and Sikong.
In the past, Song Yan's general was self-proclaimed, which can be said to be somewhat unfair, but now, it is legitimate to be personally appointed by Jiang Dan, who has just ascended the throne as King of Qi. As for Da Sikong, his official position is second only to the Third Duke.
But Jiang Dan's reward for Meng Bozhao surprised everyone.
He named Meng Bozhao the former general and Taifu.
The former general is a military position second only to the general, but the Taifu is the first among the three princes.
Song Yan's title was only Da Sikong, second to the Three Dukes, but Meng Bozhao became the head of the Three Dukes. Doesn't this mean that Meng Bozhao was superior to Song Yan.
Hearing Jiang Dan's reward to Meng Bozhao, Song Yan was slightly startled, but then revealed a hint of sarcasm. This little kid Jiang Dan couldn't help but want to seize power as soon as he ascended the throne. He was indeed trained by the royal family.
But Meng Bozhao's expression changed drastically when he heard Jiang Dan's reward for him. It can be said that the situation that Qi is in today is all due to Song Yan. Now, Jiang Dan doesn't even feel hot in his butt, and he actually wants to take advantage of Song Yan. I really don't know if he is stupid or naive.
"Your Majesty, I am just a soldier and cannot be the Grand Tutor. Please take back your decree. At the same time, the General is a scholar of heaven and man and has made great contributions to the state of Qi. Therefore, I recommend the General to be the Grand Tutor."
Jiang Dan's expression suddenly changed when he heard that Meng Bozhao not only rejected his reward, but also recommended Song Yan as Taifu.
"I also think that the general is the most suitable person to serve as the Taifu." Song Xiu stepped out with a sneer in his eyes and said to Jiang Dan, a little kid dared to play tricks in front of the general. He simply didn't know how to live or die. Did he think that he Can you take charge of everything if you become the King of Qi
Hearing Song Xiu's suggestion, Jiang Dan's face darkened again.
"I also recommend the general to be the Taifu." Shen Du followed closely and stepped out.
"The general is the best choice for the Taifu. Who else is qualified to hold this position except the general!" Hetai said.
"In Qi, except for the king, who dares to be superior to the general? Therefore, I also recommend the general to be the Taifu!" Ye stood up first.
Seeing the officials in the palace recommending Song Yan to be the Tutor, Jiang Dan suddenly became panicked and realized that even if he became the king of Qi, he would not be able to change the situation where Song Yan was the dominant family in Qi.
"Since you all think that the general is the best candidate to be the Taifu, then I will make the general the Taifu!"
The meeting is over.
Song Yan returned to the General's Mansion.
He didn't care about Jiang Dan's mischief in the court. Except for a few people in Qi State, almost all of them belonged to him. How could he possibly bring something out of the sky
"General, are you tired? I'll give you a massage!" Qiuxiang warmly came up to her and squeezed Song Yan's shoulders.
After a while, a servant came to report that the King of Qi came to pay homage to the general.
"Let him in!"
Song Yan said lightly.
After a while, Qi Wang Jiang Dan came to this courtyard alone.
"Master, my disciple is wrong, please punish me!"
Jiang Dan bent down and saluted, with a guilty look on his face.
"What's wrong with you?" Song Yan said lightly.
"Disciple shouldn't...!"
"Okay!" Song Yan waved his hand and interrupted Jiang Dan: "I understand what you are thinking, it is just to regain control of Qi State, but I want to tell you, now is not the time."
"Disciple, I understand!" Jiang Dan nodded in agreement, but unwillingness flashed in his eyes.
"I know you are not convinced. I just ask you, if I hand over Qi to you, can you stop the 200,000 coalition forces of Yan and Zhao? Can you take back the remaining land of Qi?"
Jiang Dan's face froze, but he was speechless.
Song Yan looked at him and said solemnly: "Anyway, you just need to remember that the future Qi State will be yours. Now is just the wrong time. When the time comes, I will hand over the entire Qi State to you. But when the time comes, You better not disappoint me!"
"Now that my disciple knows it, he will definitely not disappoint his master's expectations!"
