With Han Xianger's secret letter, the matter of Xiao Heng's intention to reduce the vassal states was quickly heard by all the kings and princes under Xiao Jingyao's secret arrangement.
Although Xiao Heng did not raise this matter in the court, when the kings heard such news, they couldn't help but whispering below and began to secretly plan countermeasures!
There were also several princes whose fiefs were remote from the imperial capital, who were quite dissatisfied with Xiao Heng's move.
Since the death of Zhaoming Prince Xiao Changgong, the Lu family of Fanyang was killed by the whole family. The candidate for the prince has not been decided for a long time, and the Chaogang is unstable. As the Emperor of Dayin, Xiao Heng did not stabilize the Chaogang, but instead feared the power in the hands of these princes and princes.
Turning around to deal with them really disappoints them!
As the King of Changsha, Xiao Lingyue is the oldest. If she is considered senior, she is probably Xiao Heng’s uncle’s generation... Although he relies on his oldest age on weekdays, he always has to put on some airs in front of other kings and princes.
He loves money, but he just wants to live up to his old age and pass on the position of the prince to his descendants!
Now Xiao Heng is going to strip away their power in the territory and break his plan to live a life of life, so he is the first to be dissatisfied with Xiao Heng's move.
"No, we must not let the emperor have the idea of reducing the vassal state!" King Xiao Lingyue of Changsha thought for a moment, summoned his eldest son and said in a deep voice: "Duo'er, it's not time to go and give advice to the emperor now!
”
As the prince of Changsha, Xiao Duo quickly shook his head and tried to dissuade his father: "Father, this matter is not urgent..."
"Is it urgent?" Xiao Lingyue raised his eyebrows and asked unhappily: "If you don't have any hurry, the emperor will formally issue an order to reduce the vassal states, which will only catch us off guard!"
"Father, let me listen to my son say a few words..." Xiao Duo personally brought a cup of tea to the impatient Changsha King Xiao Lingyue, and said slowly: "The emperor has not formally issued an order, which means that the emperor is still hesitating,
Although we received the news in advance, we can only respond to changes with the same change at this moment. Otherwise, if the emperor is alarmed, we may be the first one to cut off!”
"He dares-" Xiao Lingyue, who was drinking tea, put down the teacup when he heard this, and was so angry that he slapped the edge of the table with a fierce look on his face: "If that boy Xiao Heng had not been to our support back then, how could he easily sit in the position of God?
?Now he is good. After becoming the emperor, he has started to deal with his family. If he had known this, he would not have supported him at the beginning! Which of our men in the Xiao family in Lanling is not outstanding?"
Hearing that the father called out the name of the current saint without any hesitation, Xiao Duo couldn't say anything, so as not to annoy his father even more, he just whispered: "Father, don't be angry. The emperor did this because of the death of the prince.
The other princes were not enough to inherit the throne. In order to prevent others from coveting the throne, the emperor decided to reduce the vassal states…”
Before Xiao Duo finished speaking, Changsha King Xiao Lingyue snorted coldly and said coldly: "He did not protect his son, so he would vent his anger on us people?"
"The most powerful person today is actually the King of Luoyang... This time the reduction of the vassal state will make the King of Luoyang feel dissatisfied. It is better for us to explore the King of Luoyang's words. If he is willing to take the lead in rejecting the emperor's reduction of the vassal state with us,
Wouldn't it be better?"
Xiao Duo patiently analyzed the current situation with his hot-tempered father, and said with certainty that Xiao Lingyue's anger gradually faded.
