Chapter 161 Loyalty

Looking at the empress's hesitation, Xiao Yi knew what was going on in her heart.

Again, for the sake of the so-called overall situation of the court, he was timid.

This defeats its purpose.

It is necessary to add fuel to the fire, so that the empress can make up her mind completely and tear herself apart with these vassal kings.

His tone was full of disappointment.

"Holy!"

"Is it really beneficial for you to give in blindly?"

"Even if this Yu Feihong is released now, Longhu Mountain can be stabilized for a while, what about after that?"

"Sooner or later, they will rebel!"

"These so-called vassal kings, can they endure for a while, can they endure for a lifetime?"

"When they accumulate enough power in the future, they will definitely rebel."

"Now they dare to join forces to force the palace, take in those Wu Xun who defected, and provide them with shelter."

"And join forces with those local fairy sects, just to improve their own strength."

"What the hell are you expecting?"

"Are you still expecting them to turn their prodigal son back?"

"They will only continue to accumulate their strength, and when they are really sure, they will replace you!"

"I'm afraid that when the time comes, it will still be under the banner of Wei Guangzheng!"

"Whether it's on the side of the Qing emperor, or you, a woman of the generation, want to go back to the source."

"At that time, what Daqin Chaonan will have to face will be those feudal lords who are well prepared!"

"The burden you have to face will be ten times or even more than it is now!"

"Now here is the son of King Kang, and there are civil servants and military generals from various vassal states. They are extremely important figures to them."

"Continue to detain them here, so that those vassal kings will have some scruples!"

"If they can be used to threaten some vassal kings and Xianmen forces, they will not dare to act rashly!"

"This can buy us a moment's respite!"

"It's better to act first, the Great Qin Dynasty may still have hope!"

"If you don't make up your mind now, the situation will only get worse. When those vassal kings really turn against each other, my Daqin will be really dangerous!"

Xiao Yi's words were quite straightforward.

He told the content of the conversation he had with Empress Li Qingcheng in the Huxin Pavilion before in this hall again.

In the entire Hall of Supreme Harmony, everyone stared at him in astonishment.

Some things cannot be put on the surface.

The rebellion of the vassal king was something that was tacitly understood by everyone present.

But in any case, they have not held up the grounds for treason.

Then they are still royals and nobles.

It's still the group of powerful vassals with their own territories.

Xiao Yi dared to tell the whole story of the feudal lords planning to rebel at this moment, above the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

If you really want to argue with him, a charge of slandering the royal family cannot be avoided.

And more importantly, he tore off the last fig leaf between the feudal king and the court.

Empress Li Qingcheng was a little annoyed, this Xiao Yi actually laid out all of this above the main hall and explained it clearly.

But after thinking about it for a while, she found that what the other party said was quite logical.

What Xiao Yi said were all facts, which made it impossible for her to refute.

Kang Wang's son trembled and shouted at Xiao Yi.

"Presumptuous! You are all deceiving people!"

"Father and uncles are all of the royal blood of my Great Qin Dynasty, so how could they have the intention of rebelling?"

"How dare you speak such nonsense, you deserve death!"

Prince Kang took another step forward and bowed respectfully to the empress.

"My lord, please don't listen to this person's nonsense!"

"Father and uncles, they are loyal to the Great Qin Dynasty and you, and have no second thoughts!"

When he said this, cold sweat was already on his forehead.

No one could have imagined that Xiao Yi was directly above the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
This speaks out that the vassal wants to rebel.

And also suggested that the Empress take them as hostages.

Although they, the envoys of the vassal kings and the representatives of Xianmen, all thought that it would be a matter of time before they rebelled.

But everyone is secretly accumulating their own forces, waiting for a good opportunity.

So no one will admit it on the bright side!

They are still in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, within this magic circle.

The magic circle is so powerful that none of them can leave casually.

If they were really detained here to wait, they didn't know what would happen.

If you think about the good, you will be locked up here forever.

But if the real vassal king really couldn't bear to plot rebellion, the imprisoned people like them would end up miserable.

The words of King Kang's son also awakened the envoys of other vassal kings.

They bowed and saluted one by one, reprimanded Xiao Yi's gossip to confuse the crowd, and expressed the loyalty of themselves and the vassal they represented to the Great Qin Dynasty.

"My lord, the Ninth Prince has a pure heart and will never do such a rebellious thing!"

"Your Majesty, Prince Jin is just as loyal. He guards the place, and he also repeatedly teaches the people there to be loyal to the emperor and love the country. He is definitely not the traitor that Xiao Yi said!"

"Your Majesty, this Xiao Yi is just bewitching the crowd..."

The envoys of these vassal kingdoms were afraid that they would be left in Yanjing City as living targets, and all of a sudden they began to express their loyalty.

On the contrary, those representatives of the immortal sect can still see a trace of uninhibitedness from them at this moment.

But their expressions were no longer as arrogant as before.

I thought that the fusion of these forces would make the Empress feel apprehensive.

That's why they are so defiant.

But now when they realized that something might happen to them, they all changed their attitudes.

The reality is so interesting and ridiculous.

Empress Li Qingcheng looked at these people, but couldn't let go of her heart.

Xiao Yi's face was full of sarcasm, and he looked at the Empress.

"My lord, how can you trust what such black sheep say?"

"If they are really as loyal as they say, and the princes behind them are also loyal, let them prove it!"

"Your Majesty, you detain them all now."

"Then let those vassals confiscate the martial arts and all their property that defected to them, and turn them over to the treasury!"

"If they can't do it, then continue to detain it!"

"If those vassal kings are really as loyal as they say, surely they won't care about this!"

Xiao Yi added fuel to the fire without hesitation.

He is also forcing the palace!

He is forcing the empress to recognize the reality, and he is also forcing those princes and their envoys!

Now, the pressure has come to the messenger.

Xiao Yi's words put Kang Wang Shizi and others in a dilemma.

If they are really as loyal as they say they are.

It should assist the empress to punish those warriors.

As Xiao Yi said, all their illegal gains were confiscated and turned over to the state treasury.

But Kang Wang's son, Yu Feihong and others are also quite clear that such a thing is absolutely impossible.

The defection of Wu Xun is a good help for the vassal kings to take their strength to a higher level.

It is also the first step in helping them realize their ambitions.

Under such circumstances, how could it be possible to hand over those warriors?
How could it be possible to spit out the meat in the mouth?

But if they don't agree.

Wouldn't that prove that what Xiao Yi said was true?
Sooner or later the princes will rebel.

And at that time, the fate of these hostages will definitely be quite bleak.

Xiao Yi hit their sore spot.

Prince Kang froze in place, unable to find the words to refute.
