"Come on, serve wine!"
This is Zhuang Yan's big account, and he is naturally responsible for it.
Zhuang Yan has nearly sixty thousand soldiers and horses, bringing almost the entire force that can be searched in Xunbai Province. As the largest prince, he seems to have another plan.
Su Changying, Liu Xiyu and others sat down one after another, looking at each other, not knowing what happened to Zhuang Yan asking everyone to come.
"Singing and dancing, you can start." Zhuang Yan said lightly.
In the barracks, slim and slender women in black cloaks walked in. Under the candlelight, the beautiful faces were very moving. It is unimaginable that dozens of high-quality women were hidden in the march. The beautiful women, but it seems that these beauties are nothing more than the imprisonment raised by Zhuang Yan.
The dancers raised their hands to unfasten the straps of the cloaks on their chests. When the cloaks landed, everyone's eyes were bright. These dancers only wore close-fitting silk long skirts, which outlined their curvaceous figures very charmingly and lightly. Swaying lightly, extremely beautiful.
"Everyone, my swift beauties, okay?" Zhuang Yan asked suddenly.
Su Changying was startled, and said with a smile: "It's very good. Xunbai Province is really good with mountains and rivers, so that it can be raised so beautifully."
Zhuang Yan picked up the wine glass and laughed loudly: "Come on, ∮let's drink a full glass first!"
No one dared not give Zhuang Yan's face, and everyone toasted.
After drinking three rounds, Zhuang Yan waved his hand, and immediately the dancers took their seats. Almost every prince was surrounded by a dancer. Zhuang Yan squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "I have wine now and I'm drunk, and I invite you all. Don't let down the good times, hahaha..."
Liu Xiyu, the prefect of Bailing City, frowned and said, "Master Zhuang Yan, I don't know what the hell is calling us this time?"
Zhuang Yan said: "It's nothing big, just invite all the adults to the banquet. Why, does Liu Taishou think I Zhuang Yan is thinking? Hahahaha..."
Liu Xiyu clasped his fists: "No, please don't worry about Master Zhuang Yan."
"No, I do think!" Zhuang Yan's voice suddenly became severe, and all the princes suddenly looked over.
Zhuang Yan seemed to be a little drunk, stood up tremblingly, holding a wine glass in his hand, and said, "I and others are all ministers of the empire. Above, we slept in our respective cities, seized cities from the enemy's hands, and killed the enemy soldiers, but so far we have not awarded any rewards, and why did we defend our enemies, Xu Jiantao, etc. Why? It's just that they are the direct line of Qin Wang Lin Muyu. I, Zhuang Yan, is not worth it for everyone here!"
Su Changying was silent.
Liu Xiyu put down the wine glass, with a look of irritation on his face, and said: "Yes, they look down on our origins, thinking that we are just local heroes, and the words of Zetian Temple are never in our hands. Her Royal Highness used them again. It's just people like Zeng Yifan, Su Yu, Lin Muyu, Feng Jixing, she is nepotism, and foreign vassals like us will never have a chance."
"Yes!"
A brawny man stood up, a county guard in the Tianshu province, named Zhou Heng, who had raised more than 20,000 troops. At this time, his face was flushed and angrily said: "We also want to serve the empire, but why do we But under the people!"
Zhuang Yan smiled faintly: "Yes, this is the truth. If we each surrender the military power in our hands, then we will soon become fish on the chopping board and be slaughtered by others. Everyone, we can't help but do our own future. Think about the future!"
Su Changying squinted his eyes and asked with a smile: "So... what does Master Zhuang Yan think?"
Zhuang Yan laughed and threw the wine glass on the ground suddenly, saying: "The world should be governed by the people of the world. Why should one person have the final say?"
Everyone was shocked, Zhuang Yan's words were no longer different from treason.
Liu Xiyu frowned and said, "Master Zhuang Yan, please be careful... Your Majesty is kind to the world, and has never done anything that is detrimental to the common people. If you say this kind of thing, if you are heard by the Three Kings or Princess Xi, I'm afraid I can't eat it and walk around."
"Why, Master Liu is scared?" Zhuang Yan smiled slightly, pointed at the door, and said: "The door is there. If Master Liu is afraid, please do it. I don't have any cowards under Zhuang Yan's account."
Liu Xiyu gritted his teeth. When he came in, he saw that there were many guards outside the account. If he really went out, I might not have a chance to return to his big account. Zhuang Yan is cruel, but there is nothing he can't do. .
"I'm not afraid, I'm just worried." Liu Xi said.
"no need to worry."
Zhuang Yan said: "As long as our princes from all walks of life hug each other tightly, what can they do?"
"right!"
"right!"
Everyone agreed.
Su Changying said, "What does Master Zhuang Yan want to do?"
Zhuang Yan said: "Doesn’t Her Royal Highness want our 20% of our troops? Then give it to him. After the adults return to the camp, they will extract all the old, weak, sick and disabled from the army and hand them over to the Imperial Ministry of War. It doesn’t matter if you give it to them to make up the number. In addition, please sir, please gather the garrison and surround the army of the princes in the province of Xunbai, so as not to be broken by each one."
"Well, it makes sense!"
Zhuang Yan squinted his eyes and said, "In addition, we have to jointly play."
"Oh, what's going on?" Su Changying was shocked.
"Power cut, for the stability of the empire, power must be cut."
"Whose right to cut?"
"Three kings, four males, and five princes!"
"..."
Everyone was silent. The Three Kings, Four Lords, and Five Lords were all ministers of the empire. Except for Jinghai Hou Yaoyuan and Beiguo Gong Luo Xin who had died in battle, the rest of them all had meritorious deeds. If they want to cut their power, it may not be not easy.
Zhuang Yan seemed to see the people’s doubts and smiled: "I know, adults find this difficult, but it’s actually not that difficult. We only need to petition, and we decide to let Her Royal Highness go. We just need to Just take a pose, and only if the power of the Three Kings is cut, all of us will have the day to rise, won't they?"
"Yes!"
Everyone nodded in unison.
Liu Xiyu frowned and said: "If we rush to play like this, I am afraid that it will be no different from treason. After all, Her Royal Highness is a spiritual cultivation base, plus Lin Muyu, Feng Jixing and others, how do we mortals face their brilliance? "
"Therefore, we need someone who can make the female emperor feel jealous, and at the same time can control Lin Muyu and the wind." Zhou Heng smiled slightly.
"Oh?"
Zhuang Yan was stunned: "There are still such people in the world? Lord Zhou Heng, who is it?"
"If I invite this person out, I will definitely be able to save the situation."
"Who the hell is it?"
"Qing Rong will sell it next time, hahaha, just wait and see."
Zhou Heng was proud, and said: "My Tianshu province is rich in materials, hiding the dragon and the tiger, and it will definitely open your eyes to all the adults!"
…
Seven days later, the Imperial Ministry of War garrisoned a barracks.
Early in the morning, a line of cavalry flew into the camp. It was Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing who brought a group of guards to select recruits. This was Qin Yin's promise to them to allow the Gentian camp and the Forbidden Army to replenish their troops first, and the princes outside the city The contributed 20% of the troops is already 130,000 people, which should be enough.
However, when Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing entered the school grounds, their faces turned pale.
There were dense numbers of recruits on the school grounds, but they were not well-dressed. Almost all of them were veterans. Many of them were even disabled and could not even hold an iron spear.
"What's going on?" Wei Qiu frowned: "Their average age can be my dad!"
Feng Jixing sneered: "I know, where these princes have so kindly handed over their elite troops, they are just dealing with them. They should have been slashed at Zetian Temple."
"If you cut them off, Xiaoyin, the empress, will not be able to do it." Lin Muyu curled his lips.
"Then what do you want to do now?" Feng Jixing was a little impatient.
"It seems that the princes have begun to form an alliance. They started to relocate the camp a few days ago. Now they are all in the southern part of Lanyan City. There are a total of 600,000 to 700,000 horses. The rations provided to them are not small numbers. If this continues, I am afraid that Lanyan City will be eaten up by them within half a year!"
"Ayu, what shall we do?" Feng Jixing asked, "Can't you always be so passive and helpless, right?"
"We don't have soldiers in our hands, and we can't use force against them. After all, they are all people from the Empire. Once we use force, I'm afraid we will lose people's hearts." Lin Muyu groaned, "Well, think of a way. If you have a chance to kill all the princes and kings, their army will naturally belong to us."
"What kind of opportunity?"
"Feast, Brother Feng, you can host a banquet in your own residence to entertain the princes and kings."
Feng Jixing gave him a white look: "You kid entertained me, where did I come from the mansion? After returning to Lanyan City, I have been eating and drinking in the Forbidden Army camp. You don't know, but in your mansion. It’s better to have a banquet."
Lin Muyu glared at him: "Do I have a mansion? Have you forgotten that I have been eating and drinking with Xiaoyin for seven or eight days?"
"Then what to do?"
"Let Master Fan please? The Shenhou Mansion is still a big place..."
"Either way, we go to discuss with Fan Gong."
"Ok!"
Zeng Yifan who was drinking morning tea suddenly sneezed.
"What's the matter, Dad?" Zengfang asked.
Zeng Yifan rubbed his nose and said, "I always feel something bad is coming."
"Oh, what will happen?"
The voice of the guard came from outside the door: "Fan Gong, His Royal Highness King Qin, His Royal Highness King Xin, and King Wei Guo are here!"
"Sure enough, something bad is coming!"
Zeng Yifan squinted and said with a smile: "There must be nothing good for these people to come."
Zeng Fang: "..."
…
Ten minutes later, after listening to Lin Muyu's words, Zeng Yifan was already completely ashamed.
"Fan Gong, please also make a benevolent and righteous decision!"
Lin Muyu said: "Neither Brother Feng nor I have a decent residence in Lanyan City. Your Shenhou Mansion is so spacious, and with your prestige, I am not afraid that the princes will not come!"
Zeng Yifan took a deep breath: "When will the banquet be held?"
"Three days later."
"Then... Ok..." Zeng Yifan looked up at Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing, and said, "Does Your Highness Yin know about this?"
"have no idea."
"You two dare to do it too."
"Fan Gong absurdly praised it!"
