Everyone believed that at this time, the situation in Long Yan's country and Liangzhou's side had been deliberately suppressed by Xie Tianyao, and they no longer had the capital to compete for the throne.
Because there are too few troops.
After the disarmament, Liangzhou only had 200,000 combat troops left... and another 100,000, who were basically new recruits who had never experienced war.
In such a situation...
What can Liangzhou do to compete with other vassal kings?
As for the Western Regions, Southern Barbarians, Central Asia...these soldiers and horses are really too far away. They are beyond our reach. The current transportation is simply not enough to allow them to return to the country in a short time to support them.
However.
Liu Zheng had already made arrangements.
A year ago, he started preparing for the steam train. A year ago, he started preparing for all this.
At this time...
It's time to prepare.
Huo Buquli took a deep breath.
Longyan is going to be in chaos.
Young Master, you are about to rise.
Their time is coming.
...
The funeral procession is still moving forward.
Xie Tianyao, who was riding a dragon, quietly watched the intelligence from various places sent by the secret guards without saying a word.
Manager Zhou was waiting on the side: "Your Majesty, Liangzhou is still very honest at present... Whether it is the soldiers and horses of the Southern Barbarians, the soldiers and horses of the Western Regions, and even their Lingchen from East India, they have all arrived in the West.
Over there in the Mediterranean...this..."
Xie Tianyao took a breath, looked at Manager Zhou with gloomy eyes, and said calmly: "Old Zhou, how much benefit have you received from Liangzhou? You always talk to them."
Manager Zhou was shocked and almost cried: "Your Majesty, the conscience of heaven and earth, the conscience of heaven and earth, I don't mean that... I'm just analyzing it objectively."
Xie Tianyao laughed so hard that tears almost flowed out.
That's right.
Any movement of soldiers and horses in Liangzhou is under his control. After staying in the deep palace of Long Yan for decades, he still has this thing.
Xie Tianyao laughed at himself: "I want to use him, but I have to guard against him..."
"Old Zhou, tell me, why is this young man so contradictory?"
Manager Zhou did not dare to speak.
He naturally knows Xie Tianyao's conflicting mood. This Liu Zheng is really powerful. It can be said that the Longyan Dynasty has lasted for thousands of years and has never been as powerful as it is today. It has blossomed everywhere. This is the best Longyan. Likewise,
Everyone firmly believes that the Dragon Flame in the future will also be a better Dragon Flame.
However......
The royal family and the autocratic monarchy became something incompatible at this time.
These two contradictions are the ones that really trouble Xie Tianyao.
The ancestral temple and the country are the only belief that the Chinese civilization has continued for thousands of years. No matter how great Xie Tianyao was, he did not want the ancestral temple and the country to be ruined in his own hands... Naturally, he was not willing to have it ruined in the hands of his successors.
The way to employ people.
The way of checks and balances.
This is something that every emperor needs to spend his entire life pondering.
However.
Liu Zheng is really too dazzling.
After finding out that there was no illegal activity in Liangzhou, Xie Tianyao took a deep breath.
As long as this guy didn't take any special actions, he would be relieved.
The other vassal kings and scholar-bureaucrats, no matter how much they jumped, could not escape from the palm of his hand.
