Chapter 615: Intimidating Chu
When Wang Youxiao said the words "call him King of Yan" in front of the civil and military officials of the Chu State, you could hear needles dropping in the hall for a while.
The faces of the Taoist emperor, civil and military officials, and eunuchs all changed drastically, as if their hearts had been hit hard by a battering ram, and they were temporarily stunned.
This is a very serious political issue.
There are no kings with different surnames in Chu State. Whenever a dynasty declines, someone will start to claim the title of king, and then the world will be in war.
At present, in the Chu Kingdom, although the overall situation is very bad due to the inaction of Daojun and Emperor, it has not reached that point.
After the fall of Liaodong, the imperial court was able to find people like Xiong Wuwo, organize 80,000 elite troops, and sit at Shanhaiguan, waiting for opportunities.
It can be said that the centipede is dead but not stiff.
But if Wu Nian becomes king, it may be the last straw that breaks the Chu state.
Wu Nian was no idler, he was powerful in Liaodong. Everyone in the world knew him, no, the whole world knew him.
Whether it's Fusang, Chu, Goguryeo, or Meng Yuan.
If such a big shot calls himself King Yan, he can cause a huge earthquake, and then careerists from all walks of life may spring up like bamboo shoots after a rain.
Today you are king, tomorrow I will be king.
Huang Chu may collapse.
"Traitor. How dare you?!!!!" Li Chunguang yelled angrily and loudly with eyes split open.
"Why don't you dare?" Wang Youxiao was not afraid. He raised his head and said with a sneer: "General Fu Han has made great contributions to the people of Liaodong. We, the people of Liaodong, are also willing to respect him as King of Yan."
"Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. Millions of Han people in Liaodong can't support a King of Yan?"
"Of course water can carry a boat. But you are exaggerating. Do millions of people in Liaodong really support Wu Nian?" Wang Guifang frowned and said.
"I dare not say it is 100%, but it is at least 80%. My general led his troops to fight against Xiong Wuwo, and the people, soldiers, and officials all gave strong support. I know, and you should know it too."
Wang Youxiao continued to raise his head and sneer. Then he said impatiently: "Emperor, princes and ministers, will you agree to my general's request or not?"
All the civil and military officials in the court were at a loss for words. Of course they all knew about this and were very surprised. It had only been a few years since Liaodong left Chu State. But the people of Yingqing Prefecture and Guangchuan Prefecture actually followed Wu Nian and Chu State.
Be an enemy.
This really made them sad, but there was nothing they could do.
"Wang Youxiao, do you know that if you say these words, you are no different from a traitor. The court can kill you immediately and destroy your nine tribes."
A middle-aged official stood up and said with a solemn expression.
"Before leaving, the general told me that if I died in Chudu, he would raise troops to avenge me." Wang Youxiao held his head high and his chest high, with a proud look on his face. Then he said: "As for the nine tribes, if it were not for the protection of the general,
My whole family was either killed by the Mongolians or starved to death."
"I took my whole family on board to repay the general's kindness, and I have no regrets."
"Besides, with the capabilities of the Chu State, it is impossible to defeat my general, let alone kill our nine tribes."
This middle-aged official was speechless again, with a look of resentment on his face. He really had no way to refute. Xiong Wuwo had already lost a battle.
Although everyone in the Chu State was very confident in the long term, a warrior like Wu Nian, who was a hero for a while, would eventually fall into ruin.
But at present, Chu State has nothing to do with Wu Nian.
To forcefully say anything, to send millions of troops to destroy Wu Nian, is just a big talk that brings humiliation to oneself.
Since Wang Youxiao came in, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have suffered setbacks.
He was strong-willed by nature and had no fear of the kings and ministers of Chu. He was loyal to Wu Nian and blindly trusted Wu Nian's ability.
The name is an envoy, but it actually refers to the sword pointing at the Chu court. It's up to you. Either hand over Guan Jinhan and Huang Hu's family, or our general will proclaim himself the king.
When the news spreads all over the world, you will see how anxious your Chu country is.
He did not lose half of Wu Nian's prestige, but instead greatly increased Wu Nian's reputation.
That's right.
Wu Nian started out as a warrior. But he was not a simple warrior, nor was he a short-lived hero. He was truly capable of stealing the country.
He has a brave captain who is good at fighting, and a loyal minister under his command.
Plus the support of the people.
Wu Nian's threat is really, really big.
And if Wu Nian becomes king, his influence will be even greater.
Emperor Daojun always looked ugly. He waved his hand and said to the eunuch: "Put this man under house arrest."
The eunuch nodded, and then said in a high-pitched voice: "Here comes Mr. Wang, please go down."
"yes."
A group of heavily armed guards in front of the palace responded loudly, walked in, and stared at Wang Youxiao. After Wang Youxiao "battled with the scholars", he returned to his low-key nature, smiled slightly, and followed the guards in front of the palace calmly.
"Gentlemen, what should we do now?" Emperor Daojun asked as soon as Wang Youxiao left.
"Your Majesty, Wu Nian is already too big to lose, so we must not give him the family members of Guan Jinhan and Huang Hu. This would be an advantage to the enemy."
Second Assistant Li Chunguang took a deep breath and bowed sincerely.
"Master Li is right. Guan Jinhan and Huang Hu's family members should be put under house arrest." Liu Changqing also nodded and immediately followed.
"What should we do if Wu Nian becomes king? Besides, there are rumors ahead. Xiong Wuwo, we don't understand what happened between Wu Jing and Wu Nian."
"Should we replace Xiong Wuwo and Wu Jing? What if Wu Nian attacks Nanhai Mansion when we change generals?"
"Guan Jinhan and Huang Hu are now in the hands of Wu Nian, and Wu Nian specially sent an envoy for them. I'm afraid these two people have reached an agreement with Wu Nian. As long as their family members are obtained, they will definitely submit to Wu Nian."
"Such people are of no use to Huang Chu. It's better to give them to Wu Nian in exchange for Wu Nian not becoming king."
A gray-haired minister stood up, cupped his hands and said.
"Wu Nian is a jackal. I think even if he doesn't become king now, he will become king sooner or later." Li Chunguang glanced at this man and said in a deep voice.
"Of course I also know this truth. But it would be good if Wu Nian could become king in a few years. Let's straighten out the internal affairs of Huangchu first. Let's discuss whether we should continue to use Xiong Wuwo."
"This way, when Wu Nian becomes king, we won't be caught off guard." The gray-haired minister said in a deep voice.
This was just the beginning. The civil and military officials in the hall were quarreling over whether to send Guan Jinhan and Huang Hu's family members to Liaodong.
This is the state of Chu.
A good country, even if there are internal factions, can reach reconciliation under external pressure and move in the same direction.
The state of Chu is like having eight heads, pulling this cart and running wildly in eight directions, restraining each other and losing strength.
Giving the family members of Guan Jinhan and Huang Hu to Wu Nian is a way to support the enemy. However, it can be exchanged for Wu Nian not to become king in a short period of time, giving the court a buffer time.
If the people are not sent there, Wu Nian will be crowned king immediately, and the world may be in chaos.
Maybe tomorrow there will be a man named Li Sheng who will climb up and shout, "Princes, generals, and ministers would rather have the seed."
