Because he was afraid that Tang Yin would expose to the public the fact that he had obtained the throne unfairly, Shao Fang did not order to stop the retreating Feng army. However, he was still worried about Tang Yin's attempt to steal his love, and he also planted the seeds of revenge.
Shao Fang returned to Modu Zhenjiang, and soon a bloody storm broke out. The object of his purge was the Shao royal family. In order to let himself have absolute orthodoxy, and in order that no one could threaten his throne, Shao Fang began to fight against his fellow clan members.
The clan members were ruthless.
At first, he pretended to find some "evidence" to convict the clan. Later, Shao Fang didn't even bother to frame him, and directly ordered his execution. At this time, Shao Fang was the most cruel and vicious human being, and he refused to recognize his relatives.
One side is vividly expressed.
When Shao Fang first inherited the throne, he had already eliminated a large number of Shao clan members, including his younger brother Shao Bo. However, he was the new king at that time and needed to eliminate dissidents to consolidate his throne. This was also
There is nothing wrong with it, but now that his throne is very stable, it would be unpopular to clean up the Shaw clan.
Not only the people of Mo State complained, but most of the ministers in the DPRK also expressed their opposition. Many ministers wrote to Shao Fang, urging him not to kill the royal family of the same clan. After all, at the critical moment, the royal family was Shao Fang's most powerful supporter.
No matter how sage the monarch is, he still needs someone to help him. If he kills members of the clan indiscriminately, he will be left alone in the end. It is too late to regret.
The ministers' advice was correct and out of loyalty and good intentions, but now Shao Fang couldn't listen to a word of it. Seeing more and more ministers writing letters, Shao Fang was so angry that he beheaded three of them.
The ministers advised him and also issued an order to the whole country. Anyone who dared to protect the royal family members would be punished as a comrade and the nine clans would be killed.
Shao Fang undoubtedly committed a taboo by killing the ministers who were admonishing him. According to the prevailing atmosphere at the time, no matter how inconsistent the opinions of the ministers and the monarch were, the monarch could not hastily execute the ministers. Even if the remonstrance was just a commoner, the monarch would not
You must treat each other with courtesy, otherwise you will be labeled as a tyrant. But Shao Fang obviously can't care about so much anymore. He must eliminate future troubles forever, otherwise the handle will be in Tang Yin's hand, and his throne may be lost at any time.
Oh, he doesn't want to live in fear in the future.
Shao Fang's crazy behavior made even Dong Sheng, the right-hand minister who helped him gain the throne, criticize him. Unfortunately, the Shao Fang now is no longer the Shao Fang he was before, so he would still obey him.
The royal clans of the Mo Kingdom were killed one by one by Shao Fang for various reasons or for no reason at all, which made everyone feel in danger. Many clans began to flee the Mo Kingdom with their families, either going south to Anguo or north to Fengfeng.
country for asylum.
The escape of the royal family gave Shao Fang an excuse to kill them all. He publicly stated in the court that the royal family was no longer the backbone of the Mo Kingdom, nor the king's right-hand man, but the right-hand man of the Mo Kingdom.
All the moths in the country must be eradicated.
At this time, no one in Mo's court dared to speak out to dissuade him, and people could only silently endure Shao Fang's cruelty.
The country of Mo was cleaning up the royal family with great fanfare, while the situation in the country of Feng was calm. The feud between Tang Yin and Shao Fang, as well as his marriage to Lingshuang, did not bring much turmoil to the country of Feng, but the court made urgent arrangements.
Consultation.
The falling out with Mo State was something that caught the Feng State court off guard. On the night when Tang Yin returned to Yancheng, the Feng State ministers headed by Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji came to see him in unison.
When they arrived, Tang Yin was having dinner with the four ladies. During the dinner, Wu Mei asked about his marriage to Ling Shuang. Tang Yin laughed it off and didn't take the marriage seriously at all. Seeing him treating it like a child's play, Wu Mei also
I won't ask any more questions.
Halfway through the meal, he heard that Qiu Zhen, Shangguan Yuanji and other ministers had arrived. Tang Yin sent a message to them and asked them to wait in the study room for a while. They waited for half an hour until Tang Yin accompanied the four ladies to finish the meal.
Set off for the study.
Tang Yin's study was not small, but it was already full of people and seemed a bit crowded. Seeing Tang Yin's arrival, everyone stood up and saluted, saying in unison: "Your Majesty!"
After nodding in response, Tang Yin waved his hand and motioned for all the ministers to take their seats.
"Your Majesty, all the ministers and others have heard about what happened on the border of Mo Yu. Now our country is facing a great enemy. We should not offend Mo State again and add another powerful enemy!" Zhang Han, a bachelor, said impatiently.
Tang Yin smiled slightly, shrugged and said, "It's not that I offended Mo Country, but that Mo Country fell into Jade Country's trick. What can I do about this?"
Zhang Han said seriously: "In this case, the king should send an envoy to Mo with heavy gifts to restore the good alliance."
Tang Yin chuckled and said, "Why did I send an envoy to deliver heavy gifts instead of Mo Guo taking the initiative to repair it?"
Zhang Han said: "Now our country is in urgent need of Mozambique's assistance to resist powerful countries such as Sichuan and Zhen. On the other hand, our country seems to be less important to Mozambique, so it is natural for our country to take the initiative to show its goodwill..."
Before he could start joking, Tang Yin interrupted: "Master Zhang is very good at speaking from Mo Guo's point of view!"
Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji have not spoken, mainly because they are watching Tang Yin's attitude. Through his conversation with Zhang Han, it can be seen that Tang Yin has no intention of reversing the breakdown of Feng Mo Alliance, which also indirectly shows that Tang Yin
It is in favor of the breakdown of the alliance between the two countries.
Hearing that Tang Yin's tone began to turn unkind, Qiu Zhen was afraid that Zhang Han, a nerd, would continue to speak against Tang Yin's wishes, so he asked directly: "Does your Majesty have any intention of war with Mo State?"
Tang Yin smiled when he heard this and did not answer directly. Instead, he asked: "In recent years, has Dafeng's national power become stronger or weaker?"
Although Feng State's treasury is now empty, it is obvious to all that its national strength has become stronger. Not to mention other things, just the annexation of the eight counties in northern Ning has made Feng State's strength qualitatively rise. In the past, Feng State was a big country short of food, and it could not support itself because of the problem of food and grass.
A large number of troops have now annexed eight counties in northern Ningbo, giving Feng State a stable source of food. Both the central army and the local army have doubled in number.
The ministers looked at each other and said in unison: "Our country's national strength has improved much compared to before."
Tang Yin nodded and asked: "Why is there an improvement?" Without waiting for anyone to answer, he continued: "Because of war! Only war can allow us, Feng Country, to plunder fertile land, plunder other countries' wealth, plunder population, and resources.
, Technology, without war, Feng Country will only decline. Only uninterrupted war will make Feng Country stronger and stronger." As he spoke, Tang Yin stood up, walked to the wall, and waved.
Behind the curtain hung on the wall was a map of the entire Haotian Empire and the surrounding countries. He pointed at the top of the map and said: "Everyone, take a look. Is there anywhere around our Feng Kingdom that can fight with it?"
The country is bounded by the sea to the east, Tia to the west, Besa and Duki, which is about to be annexed by Besa, to the north. Apart from the country of Mo, our country has no way to expand."
Everyone subconsciously walked closer to the map. After looking carefully, they discovered that there were many outline marks on the map, and most of them were concentrated between Feng Mo. It was obvious that Tang Yin's plan to use troops against Mo was no longer a day or two.
Qiu Zhen said: "It turns out... Your Majesty has already prepared for war with Mo State!"
"We can't even talk about preparation. I didn't expect to fall out with Shao Fang so soon, but since we have already fallen out, there is no need to be polite." After a pause, Tang Yin turned around and said, "Qiu Zhen, give it to Tia immediately.
The Sanshui Army sent a message, and the entire army immediately retreated to the country for repairs!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Regarding the issue of external expansion, Qiu Zhen agreed 100% with Tang Yin's decision. The two of them had roughly the same idea, and both believed that annexation was the only way out for a powerful country.
However, Zhang Han immediately stood up and expressed his opposition. He said urgently: "Your Majesty, you must not do it. The country of Mo is not comparable to the country of Ning. When we fought against the country of Ning, we had the strong reinforcements of the country of Mo. But when fighting against the country of Mo, we not only had no reinforcements, but
You will also risk fighting with Sichuan Zhen and other countries at the same time. Your Majesty, you must not act impulsively and send troops hastily!"
Tang Yin frowned, why is Zhang Han always afraid of wolves in front and tigers in the back? How can he be so popular? At this time, Shangguan Yuanji finally said: "Actually, it is not as difficult to defeat the Mo Kingdom as imagined."
"Oh?" Everyone present was refreshed and looked at Shangguan Yuanji.
Tang Yin asked: "How can Yuan Ji say this?"
Shangguan Yuanji said: "After all, Shao Fang's throne came from a shady way. Our country can first send spies to lurk in Mo Country, spread rumors among the people, and expose Shao Fang's assassination of his father in order to get the throne. In this way, the people of Mo Country will have
Shao Fang's loyalty will be sharply reduced. At the same time, the king can also support other royal families in the Mo country and let them unite to impeach Shao Fang. As long as chaos can be created, as long as the Mo country can have civil strife, it will be of great benefit to our country. We will send troops when the time comes.
It will also get twice the result with half the effort.”
Bang! Tang Yin snapped his fingers, raised his head, smiled, and praised: "Yuanji's idea is wonderful, let's do it like this!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Han became anxious again and hurriedly said: "No, Your Majesty! Although Your Majesty has some friction with King Mo, the alliance between Feng and Mo still exists. Your Majesty wants to send troops to Mo Kingdom, but there is no proper reason!"
Tang Yin and Shao Fang were both small-minded people, but in terms of tolerance, Tang Yin was much stronger than Shao Fang. Zhang Han repeatedly stood up to oppose Tang Yin's intentions, but Tang Yin could endure it. Because of this, his men
Only the minister dared to express his true thoughts in front of him again and again.
"Master Zhang, it won't be long before we have a reason to send troops." Tang Yin said confidently with a smile.
"Ah?" Zhang Han was stunned and looked at Tang Yin in confusion.
Tang Yin said: "Shao Fang knows that I am married to Lingshuang, so he will definitely think that I have the intention to annex the Jade Kingdom. He will never tolerate our Feng Kingdom annexing the Jade Kingdom, because in this way, it will be tantamount to forming an encirclement trend against the Mo Kingdom."
, he will definitely use troops in the short term, either against the Jade Kingdom or the Feng Kingdom. However, there are natural and dangerous passes in the south of our country, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is more likely that the Mo Kingdom will send troops to the Jade Kingdom. You know, we
I am married to Lingshuang, and if the Mo Kingdom attacks the Jade Kingdom, there is no reason why I should not rescue them, so it is natural for me to send troops to the Mo Kingdom."
