Chapter 45
After worshiping the sky and ascending the throne, Emperor Xin held a grand banquet in the palace.
Feng Yuan did not follow his father to participate, and did not want to join in the fun, but returned to the inn. However, shortly after he returned to the inn, a palace guard came over to inform him that Emperor Xin would summon him in the palace.
"Your Majesty summoned me?"
Feng Yuan's expression moved slightly. According to common sense, after just ascending the throne, Emperor Xin should be so busy that he still has time to meet him?
Since it was Emperor Xin who summoned him, he could only walk towards the palace again.
At this time, there was a loud noise in the palace, and there was a faint sound of drinking.
However, Feng Yuan was walking in a relatively quiet place, and the guards in front took him to a side hall.
At this time, in the side hall, in addition to Emperor Xin, who was sitting on the head, there were also Grand Tutor Wen Zhong, Prime Minister Shang Rong, Ya Bigan, Huang Feihu, Xibo Hou Jichang, Dongbo Hou Jiang Huanchu, Beibo Hou Chong Hou Hu, Jizhou Hou Suhu and his father Fengzong of Qingzhou Hou.
These people were all core officials of the Great Shang Dynasty.
They sat at the banquet and came to the side hall to discuss matters.
"My minister Fengyuan, pay homage to Your Majesty!"
Feng Yuan quickly glanced at everyone, then bowed and bowed.
"General Feng, please get up!"
Emperor Xin showed a smile on his face and had a good attitude towards Feng Yuan. When he was in the Eastern Expedition, Feng Yuan made suggestions under his command and made a lot of contributions.
If it weren't for the limitation of his identity, he would have recruited Feng Yuan long ago and allowed him to enter the East Palace to act as a confidant official.
In addition, the various legal strategies implemented by Feng Yuan in Linzi made him very appreciative. This time, Emperor Xin specially sent someone to call Feng Yuan over.
When Feng Yuan came in, everyone on both sides focused their eyes on him.
Especially Prime Minister Shang Rong and Ya Gang, this was the first time they saw Feng Yuan, and they couldn't help but reveal a few traces of exploration in their eyes.
All the people in the hall are people who are in charge of the life and death of billions of creatures. The momentum of any person can suppress ordinary people so much that they can't speak.
However, Feng Yuan is not an ordinary person, and the momentum of others is like a breeze blowing on his face.
"This time I summoned General Feng because of Yuan Futong!"
Emperor Xin said.
It turned out that after Feng Yuan helped Huang Feihu capture and kill two of Yuan Futong's subordinates, Huang Feihu reported the matter to Emperor Xin and Wen Taishi, and the two were immediately furious.
However, the ceremony of ascension is about to begin. No matter how angry they are, they can only put this matter aside first and then deal with it after the ceremony is completed.
Now, Emperor Xin summoned the Grand Tutor, Prime Minister, Ya Prime Minister, and Bohou and Jiuzhou Marquis, who represented the princes of all directions, to discuss with his subordinates how to deal with Yuan Futong.
The ministers had their own opinions and could not argue, so Emperor Xin called Feng Yuan over and asked for his opinions.
“…”
"Di Xin really values me very much!"
After hearing this, Feng Yuan couldn't help but complain in his heart. With the decisiveness of Emperor Xin and Wen Tai Shi, he probably had made a decision long ago. What's the use of calling him over now?
"In my opinion, Yuan Futong colluded with the seventy-two princes of the Beihai and sent people to disrupt His Majesty's throne ceremony. The intention of rebellion was obvious. If he did not make a decision to cut it off immediately, there would be endless troubles!"
"I suggest that we should launch a large army to attack, plow the courtyard and sweep the caves, and shovel Yuan Futong!"
Feng Yuan's voice was loud and resounded throughout the hall.
It turned out that the timeline was that Master Wen had conquered the Beihai, so I guess Emperor Xin and Wen Zhong's decision at this time were also sent troops. If the Beihai had not delayed Master Wen for fifteen years, other forces would have no chance of success.
Since this is the case, Feng Yuan simply followed the situation and expressed his opinions according to the two of them.
When the Grand Master stroked his beard and said nothing, Huang Feihu showed a hint of agreement, while Ji Chang, the Queen of Xibo, looked calm and didn't know what he was thinking.
"General Feng said this very well! Yuan Futong must be eliminated!"
Chonghouhu shouted repeatedly, his voice even a little excited.
He, the Marquis of Beibo and the Marquis of Jizhou, are all facing the threat of Yuan Futong. If Yuan Futong does not rebel, but instead erodes step by step, the entire north will sooner or later fall into Yuan Futong's hands.
Now that they join forces, they are not against Beihai, they can only count on Chaoge to send a large army to attack.
Emperor Xin nodded slightly, as if he agreed.
"No! Your Majesty has just ascended the throne and his power has not been established. If you rashly dispatch a large army, it may be suspected that the foundation will be shaken. At this moment, it is nothing more than Gu Gen Pei Yuan. When Your Majesty's power spreads all over the world, the enemy's power will decline... Please think twice!"
Prime Minister Shang Rong's hair was slightly white, but his spine was straight and his face was straight. After seeing Emperor Xin's expression, he quickly stood up and advised him.
He, like Wen Zhong, was a senior official of the late emperor's orphans.
However, his status is far from comparable to Wen Zhong.
"The Prime Minister's words are wrong! As General Feng said, Yuan Futong's intention to rebel was obvious. If such a traitor is not eliminated as soon as possible, how can His Majesty's power be established?"
"Only by launching a large army, pacifying the Beihai, showing off its power, and the ministers in the court and the princes from all directions can you feel the majesty of Your Majesty!"
Hou Suhu from Jizhou stood up immediately.
"Yes! Now the Great Shang swept across the world invincible, like the scorching sun in the sky, shining everywhere. With such a powerful voice, how could a soldier be used to shake its foundation?"
Chonghouhu then said that he and Su Hu had sang and had a lot of communication in private.
Feng Yuan's eyes swept across the two of them, and he felt absurd in his heart. Just looking at their current relationship, who would have thought that the first conquest that the God Calamity began would break out between them?
Shang Rong frowned and looked at Su Hu with some dissatisfaction. Chonghou Hu and Feng Yuan were opened their mouths and were about to refute, but was interrupted by Su Hu again.
"Your Majesty, if Yuan Futong's rebellion is not resolved as soon as possible, other ambitious princes will think that Chaoge's power will decline and follow suit! At that time, it will inevitably lead to great trouble!"
As soon as Su Hu said this, Dongbo Marquis Jiang Huanchu and Xibo Marquis Ji Chang could not help but change his expressions and nodded slightly.
At this time, Feng Yuan had quietly stood beside his father Feng Sect.
No matter how Chaoge deals with Yuan Futong, it has nothing to do with Qingzhou for the time being. The two words he just said have expressed his attitudes with Qingzhou and no need to do anything else.
"What does the Taishi mean?"
Emperor Xin turned his attention to Wen Zhong. Others, including Shang Rong, also looked at Wen Zhong. The opinions of Wen Taishi were very important in this kind of military and national affairs.
"What the Marquis of Beibo and Marquis of Jizhou are reasonable! If the rebels are not eliminated as soon as possible, other princes will inevitably follow suit! In the opinion of the minister, they must send troops!"
Wen Zhong said in a deep voice.
Shang Rong opened his mouth, hesitated but did not refute again.
"Okay! Just use the Taishi's intention to launch a large army to pacify the Beihai and kill Yuan Futong!"
Emperor Xin suddenly stood up and his face turned sharp.
When the ministers heard this, their expressions became solemn. Only Feng Yuan sighed in his heart that Chaoge, whose original timeline was only sent troops in the seventh year of Emperor Xin, has now been ahead of schedule seven years...
I don’t know if this change will affect the original trend of the Battle of the Gods.
"I dare to ask Your Majesty, if you send troops, which general will be the commander general?" Bigan took a step and asked with his hands.
The emperor's uncle Bi Gan was elegant and had seven orifices in his heart. He was Di Yi's younger brother and a strong man in the Shang Dynasty. He usually had close ties with Shang Rong, but he valued the majesty of the Shang Dynasty more.
So he agreed with the sending troops to Beihai.
