Seeing that Luoyang King Xiao Jingyao seemed to be indifferent to their plea, the famous family refused to give up. After repeated persuasion, Xiao Jingyao still had no movement.
The news reached Xiao Heng's ears. Xiao Heng, who was originally planning to rest assured, immediately summoned the attendant Deng Xian and Prime Minister Fang Shixian to discuss the matter.
"Emperor, the King of Luoyang has made countless achievements and won the hearts of the people. He has been closely with famous families on weekdays, so it is not surprising that the children of famous families have invited him to come forward this time..." Deng Xian, the minister, spoke first.
Xiao Heng looked at Deng Xian coldly and asked unhappily: "Deng Xian, what do you mean is that my new governance has greatly lost the people's hearts, but it is not as good as my cousin's expectations?"
"I dare not!" The minister Deng Xian secretly called out in his heart, saying that his words "winning the hearts of the people" just now touched the emperor's rebellious scales. He sweated coldly and said with a low eyebrow, "The emperor selects poor families to prevent idleness from being idle.
Children from aristocratic families become officials. This move not only inspires children from poor families to serve the country, but also allows the people of our Dayin to see the emperor's determination for fairness. This move must be what everyone hopes for!"
Xiao Heng snorted with satisfaction, his face slightly improved: "I did this to give poor families more opportunities to enter the officialdom... But the number of children from famous families is not only financial and material resources, but also
If you are in power, you will not be easily suppressed. If you are not careful, it will cause a lot of trouble!"
He paused and his brows frowned unconsciously.
"What's more, if they all put their expectations on the King of Luoyang and choose to defect to my cousin, things will become out of control!"
After Xiao Heng finished speaking, the minister Deng Xian and the prime minister Fang Shixian looked at each other, and they knew what the emperor was concerned about. They became silent and fell into silence in the huge bedroom.
After a while, the Prime Minister Fang Shixiancai slowly spoke: "Emperor, in my foolish opinion, the children of famous families are all selfish. They are not sincerely dependent on the King of Luoyang, but just hope that the King of Luoyang will stand up for them and ask the Emperor to change his mind...
The King of Luoyang was not trapped, and refused their plea and remained in Luoyang without any action!"
Xiao Heng responded lightly and said thoughtfully: "But he has heavy troops in his hand. Although he does not submit me a memorial like other princes, he must be unhappy in his heart... His elite soldiers,
It's always a big trouble for me!"
"The King of Luoyang led his troops to fight several times, and he has a very high prestige in the army. In addition, he holds heavy troops. If ten thousand soldiers rebel, he may not be able to control it!" The attendant Deng Xian said in a deep voice, with a very solemn expression.
: "The emperor needs to make up his mind early to deal with the King of Luoyang in order to prevent changes in the future!"
Xiao Heng sighed softly when he heard this, and said with a slight slight voice: "After that being said, he is my cousin and has made many military achievements for me. I really can't bear to get rid of him and leave a reputation of being unkind and unrighteous.
…”
Seeing that the emperor was hesitant, Deng Xian didn't know how to persuade the emperor to make up his mind, and was afraid that he would annoy the emperor again by accident, so he simply remained silent.
"Emperor, I have a way..." Fang Shixian thought for a moment, and then spoke again: "Now, not only the King of Luoyang, but also the King of Changsha and the King of Yiyang! The King of Changsha is old and cannot make a big wave, but the King of Yiyang is just
It’s different. The emperor might as well start with the King of Yiyang first. First, he can continue to reduce the vassal states, and second, he can also take this opportunity to warn the King of Luoyang!"
