After hearing that Tang Yin said it was no big deal, Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji looked at each other and sighed secretly in their hearts. Tang Yin had been the Wind King for some time, but many of his ideas still remained when he was the county chief. Now his
His identity is completely different from before. As the king of a country, how can he summon the two prime ministers on his left and right into the palace at night without any major incident?
However, Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji both understood Tang Yin's personality and knew that he was used to being casual. It would be unrealistic to ask him too much at once. Shangguan Yuanji smiled and asked calmly: "I wonder what the king wants?"
"Well..." Tang Yin groaned, thought for a moment, and then said: "I want to establish three wives, Yuan Ji and Qiu Zhen, what do you two mean?"
Hey! After hearing this, Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji were both startled. This is really no small matter. Shangguan Yuanji hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is wise! Now that your Majesty has become the king of a country, the harem is very empty. It is not a good idea to have a wife early."
It can comply with the people’s wishes and calm their hearts!”
"Yes!" Shangguan Yuanji's words made Tang Yin nod his head and smile at the same time.
Qiu Zhen asked curiously: "I wonder who the three ladies that the king wants to canonize are..."
Tang Yin said: "Wumei, Fan Min and Yuan Qianyi."
Qiu Zhen was not surprised by this answer, perhaps he had expected it.
Tang Yin asked: "Qiu Zhen, what do you think?"
Qiu Zhen hurriedly handed over his hands and replied: "I have no objection." Wu Mei was born into a powerful family, while Fan Min was born into a wealthy family. However, Yuan Qianyi's family background was unclear, and she was also the concubine of the late king. It was not suitable for Tang Yin to accept her.
However, Tang Yin had already made a promise to Yuan Qianyi at the beginning, and Qiu Zhen also knew about it. Now that she was to be canonized as his wife, Qiu Zhen couldn't say much.
Seeing that even such a harsh person as Qiu Zhen had no objection, Tang Yin felt relieved and asked Shangguan Yuanji: "Yuanji, madams all have names. Please help me think about what I want to give to Xiaomei, Xiaomin and Qianyi."
It’s a good name.”
"Oh..." Shangguan Yuanji pondered for a long time, rolling his eyes. After a while, he made up his mind and said: "The king can canonize Miss Wu Mei as Mrs. Leping, Miss Fan Min as Mrs. Wan'an, and Miss Qianyi.
As Madame de Rong, I wonder what your Majesty’s wishes are?”
"Mrs. Leping, be happy and safe, Mrs. Wan'an, be safe forever, Mrs. De Rong, both good and beautiful..." Tang Yin murmured, and after thinking for a while, he looked up and laughed, stroking his hands and said: "Well done, Yuanji's
The book is indeed not in vain."
Shangguan Yuanji could only smile bitterly in his heart at such a compliment. He cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, that's a compliment."
Tang Yin asked Qiu Zhen again: "Qiu Zhen, what do you think of Yuan Ji's name?"
Qiu Zhen bowed and praised: "Excellent."
"Well, that's settled the matter."
Qiu Zhen couldn't help his curiosity and asked again: "The king has only appointed three wives. I wonder if he can choose a queen?"
Shangguan Yuanji was also very curious about this question and subconsciously pricked up his ears to listen to Tang Yin's answer.
Tang Yin said: "I already have a candidate in mind."
Qiu Zhen asked in surprise: "Who is it?"
Tang Yin squinted his eyes, his gaze became deep, and he said word by word: "Yin Rou."
Yin Rou? Both Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji felt that the name sounded familiar. They were stunned for a moment. Their bodies were shocked and they said in unison: "Imperial Princess Yin Rou?"
Seeing the surprised expressions of the two of them, their wide eyes and open mouths, Old God Tang Yin asked on the ground: "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"
After a long while, Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji finally came to their senses. Qiu Zhen said first: "As far as I know, Her Royal Highness the Princess has made a marriage contract with the Crown Prince of Zheng Kingdom, Li Dan."
"So what?" Now, Tang Yin no longer wanted to hide Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji. He said seriously: "Do you know why I am eager to take back the Hedong area? It is to strengthen my troops. If Zhenguo does not cancel the marriage between Yin Rou and Li Dan in the end,
, I will lead the army directly to Shangjing and take Yin Rou back by force."
Hearing this, Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji were dumbfounded. Want to send troops to Beijing? To snatch the princess by force? They almost wondered if Tang Yin was crazy. Swallowing with difficulty, Qiu Zhen asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, you are not joking.
Bar?"
Tang Yin sneered and said, "How can we joke about such a big thing?"
"Then... if the king wants to send troops to the capital, he has to pass through the states of Mo and An. Even if the king can pass through the states of Mo, he cannot pass through the states of An. I am afraid that he will be blocked from the state of An before he reaches the capital...
"
Before Qiu Zhen finished speaking, Tang Yin said confidently: "I have already thought about this. Didn't Wang Yi, the minister of the imperial court, advocate the movement of troops from various vassal states into Shangjing and obey the imperial court's command? By then?
In the name of obeying the holy will, our army headed to Beijing with great fanfare. If anyone dared to stop it, it would be disrespectful to the emperor and the imperial court. How could Anguo, who always covets comfort, dare to risk the rule of the world and stop our army?
?”
Oops! After hearing this, Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji both trembled in their hearts. It seems that the king is not just a whim, but has a premeditated plan! Even the strategy of marching to Beijing has been thought out... With Tang Yin's
Personality, it would be extremely difficult to stop him at this time.
Shangguan Yuanji asked: "Is it possible that the king has made up his mind to snatch the princess by force?"
"That's right!" Tang Yin replied firmly.
"But if this happens, the king will become the target of public criticism, and our Feng Kingdom may be attacked by other princes together!" Shangguan Yuanji said worriedly.
"It is precisely because of this that you two must help me with all your heart." Tang Yin's eyes were like lightning, scanning the faces of Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji one by one. Then he smiled leisurely and said: "Actually, you
There is no need to worry so much. How many vassal states are really willing to listen to the imperial court? Among the eight vassal states, Shenchi does not participate in the war. Among the other seven states, Sichuan State is the strongest, but it is also the farthest away from our country. It is thousands of miles away and has a long journey.
The possibility of attacking is very slim, followed by Anguo's national strength, but Anguo has always been peaceful and has always avoided war when it can. The possibility of launching a war against our country is not high. Yu and Huan are vast and sparsely populated, and their strength is not high.
Strong, even if it joins the war, it will not be stupid enough to use all the strength of the country to attack, and it cannot send many troops. The relationship between Mo State and our country is delicate. In all likelihood, they will shout in words, but in fact they will not move. Only Ning State can really send troops to our country.
Zhenguo is thousands of miles away from our country, so there is nothing to worry about. After all, the threat is still from Ningguo. If they don't send troops, that's it. If they dare to send troops, we will beat them to pieces.
If there is a chance, we can take advantage of the situation to counterattack and enter the territory of Ning Kingdom."
Listening to Tang Yin's analysis, even Shangguan Yuanji and Qiu Zhen had to nod their heads, secretly saying that it made sense. In addition to the Feng Kingdom, among the other eight vassal states, the most powerful and terrifying one was the Sichuan Kingdom, but the Sichuan Kingdom was in the far south.
, Feng Kingdom is in the far north, and the two countries are incompatible with each other. They are thousands of miles apart. Even if Sichuan Kingdom can really defeat Feng Kingdom, it will not be able to occupy the city or the land. How can Sichuan Kingdom, which has always been expanding its territory, launch such a plan?
A costly war?
Shangguan Yuanji smiled bitterly and said: "It seems that the king has already calculated everything."
Tang Yin said without hesitation: "Yes, when I went to Beijing, I was already thinking about whether it was feasible to send troops to capture Yin Rou. This time we captured Hedong. The first purpose is to obtain sufficient food and grass to support the army. The second purpose is to obtain sufficient food and grass to support the army.
It is also an opportunity to weaken Ning Guo’s troops so that Ning Guo’s attack on our country will be ineffective in the future. What’s more, we can also involve Du Ji now. Having a foreign enemy like Du Ji contain Ning Guo in the north is very beneficial to us.”
Qiu Zhen first shook his head and then nodded, and finally he couldn't help laughing. Sometimes he had to admire Tang Yin's mind. On weekdays, Tang Yin seemed to have nothing to do, acted casually, and often made some actions that exceeded common sense.
But in fact, he still doesn't know what evil ideas he is planning in his head! Such people are the most terrifying.
He pondered for a long time, and then, as if he had made up his mind, he raised his head and asked seriously: "Does the king really care about His Royal Highness that much?"
Tang Yin took a deep breath, looked deeply, slowly clenched his fists, and said: "In my previous life, I have lost her once. In this life, I will never let her go again. I must keep her, even if I have to fight against the whole world."
I don’t care if I’m an enemy!”
Although he couldn't understand what Tang Yin said about his past and present lives, Qiu Zhen could feel Tang Yin's strong desire. Even Tang Yin did not show such a strong possessive desire for the throne of Feng Kingdom.
Qiu Zhen sighed secretly. He knew very well that it was wrong for Tang Yin to do this. It would trigger a war and kill many, many people. But Tang Yin was not only his monarch, but also his friend, his confidant, and his brother.
, for Tang Yin, he would rather risk everything, even if it means leaving an infamy and being cast aside by future generations.
He bit his lip to calm down, and then said with a smile: "Your Majesty is wise, virtuous, and extremely intelligent. I hope that your Majesty can also consider it from the perspective of the entire Feng Kingdom and weigh the pros and cons. As long as your Majesty thinks it is feasible,
, No matter what decision we make, Yuanji and I will stand unswervingly on the side of the king, even if we are broken into pieces, we will not hesitate!"
After hearing what he said, Shangguan Yuanji also bowed his head seriously and said seriously: "What Prime Minister Qiu said is exactly what I think in my heart."
Tang Yin's eyes shone with two frightening lights.
This is what he wants to hear most. If he wants to capture Yin Rou, he will undoubtedly make the entire empire an enemy. It is not enough to rely on his own strength. He must get the full strength of the ministers and soldiers below.
Support, now Shangguan Yuanji, the head of the civil service, and Qiu Zhen, the head of the military generals, have expressed their stance and are willing to stand on his side. This is like giving Tang Yin a shot in the arm and doubling his confidence.
He grabbed Qiu Zhen's arm tightly, and grabbed Shangguan Yuanji's arm with his other hand. He nodded repeatedly and said with emotion: "You are indeed my brother!"
