Chapter 483 The helplessness of a weak country

Nothing happened all night.

Early the next morning, the people who had left the city with their families yesterday began to return to the city one after another under the escort of Fengyu Guards and Huben Army.

Many of these people who were forced to return to the city have sold their houses to Yahang at a low price. Now that they can't leave, they naturally go to Yahang to buy the house back, otherwise the family will live on the streets.

However, when they rushed to Yahang to buy back their house, they were told that the price of the house had increased, and the price was more than twice the purchase price yesterday.

In just one day, house prices went from plummeting to skyrocketing. This was a big pain for ordinary people who had sold their houses. They didn’t have enough money to buy back their houses, so they had to rent a house with Yahang, and the rent was still the same. own house.

There was no way, the court wouldn't let me leave the city, so renting a house was cheaper than staying in an inn.

Yaxing was the government office of the imperial court, and the common people had no place to express their opinions. Suddenly, the whole valley city was filled with resentment, and the common people who had lost their houses began to resent the Yue Kingdom.

The Jingjian Guard spy lurking in River Valley City immediately reported the news. Lu Dongyuan did not dare to neglect the information after seeing it, and immediately informed Lin Feng of the situation via Feige.

The next day, Yang Houli received a letter from Fei Ge, and Lin Feng's reply was only eleven words - strive to win over the people of River Valley City.

Yang Houli immediately found Lu Dongyuan and told him Lin Feng's order. Then the secret agents of the Mirror Mirror Division lurking in River Valley City began to take action...

There was actually nothing wrong with Murong Zhengming's handling of the incident when ordinary people moved their families out of the city. His fault lay in his failure to understand the specific situation of the people at the bottom, failing to solve the people's housing problems in a timely manner, and thus losing the support of the people.

Murong Zhengming was at a high level and had to deal with a lot of political affairs every day. The small matter of people having no money to buy back their own houses would never appear on the emperor's imperial court.

No matter what era, the policies of the top rulers are almost always good, but after the policies are implemented, they have no effect. The beneficiaries of the policies are always officials at all levels and major noble families, and the people at the bottom are still the ones who suffer.

As the saying goes, there is no airtight wall in the world. The news that the prince was banned by His Majesty still spread. In addition, King Rui took over Fengyutai. Suddenly, the matter of His Majesty's intention to establish another prince began to spread.

Although Lieutenant Chen Shiheng supported the crown prince, the situation in the East Palace became increasingly difficult. Murong Haotian was grounded and could not do anything. The prince still refused to come out to avoid the rumors. The courtiers' minds began to wander and they no longer stood side by side. On the side of the prince, he chose appropriate neutrality.

Time passed quickly, and three days flew by.

On this day, Yang Houli personally went to Guancheng Pavilion to visit Fang Hui.

"Hahaha……"

"Envoy Yang is here in person, and the Guancheng Pavilion is full of glory! Please come in!"

Fang Hui invited Yang Houli into Guancheng Pavilion very enthusiastically, "Envoy Yang, please have a seat! Come, serve tea!"

As soon as Yang Houli sat down, the maid brought tea and said, "Please have some tea, sir."

Yang Houli nodded politely, "Thank you!"

"I don't know why Envoy Yang came to visit in person? If there is anything wrong with the Embassy, ​​please bear with me, Envoy Yang, and we will correct it immediately."

"Lord Fang, it has been three days since my credential was delivered to your court. So far, I have not given a clear reply to the mission. If your country is unwilling to surrender, please ask the Chancellor to do so for you." I tell His Majesty the Emperor of Vietnam that I will leave for home early tomorrow morning to resume my duties, and that if the matter is urgent, I will not enter the palace to disturb His Majesty the Emperor of Vietnam."

"I've got you, Mr. Guan Cheng, so I'll take my leave!"

Yang Houli stood up, cupped his hands, turned and left Guancheng Pavilion.

Yang Houli was leaving tomorrow. This was a big deal. Fang Hui didn't dare to stand up and walk out. He had to enter the palace as soon as possible to report the situation to Murong Zhengming.

Soon, Fang Hui arrived at the imperial study room. After being informed by the chamberlain, he quickly walked in, "I pay my respects to your Majesty!"

Murong Zhengming raised his head and looked at Fang Hui, "Fang Aiqing, please forgive me and get back on your feet!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Fang Aiqing is here because of the Yan State envoy?"

Fang Hui quickly raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, that's right! Yang Houli, the envoy of the State of Yan, has just found me..."

Then Fang Hui repeated Yang Houli's words to Murong Zhengming intact.

"Fang Aiqing, I know everything. Please step back first!"

"I obey the decree! I resign!"

Fang Hui cupped his hands, turned and left the imperial study.

Yang Houli is leaving tomorrow, so he has to make a choice today, "Eunuch Cao, please pass on my decree to order Gao Yanqing, Lieutenant Chen Shiheng, and Grand Sikong Wantiankui to pay their respects in the study room."

"Old slave obeys!"

Cao Chun cupped his hands, turned around and left quickly...

Two quarters of an hour later.

Gao Yanqing, Chen Shiheng, and Wan Tiankui came to the imperial study room together under the guidance of Cao Chun.

"I will pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

Murong Zhengming raised his hand and said, "Three dear ladies, please sit down without any courtesy!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"My dearest friends, Yang Houli, the envoy of the State of Yan, will return home early tomorrow morning, so we, the monarch and his ministers, must decide today on whether to hand over the person or not."

"In the past few days, the three beloved ladies must have thought it through. I want to know your attitude now, so tell me!"

As soon as Murong Zhengming finished speaking, Zhongshu Ling Gao Yanqing immediately stepped forward and cupped his hand, "Your Majesty, I choose to make friends with you. The situation is stronger than others. Sometimes it is a wise choice to make some appropriate concessions."

Murong Zhengming nodded, then looked at Grand Sikong Wan Tiankui, "Wan Aiqing, what do you think?"

Wan Tiankui immediately stepped forward and cupped his hands, "Your Majesty, the kidnapping of Lu Qiuya was originally our country's fault. Now that Yan's country is strong, it is only human nature for Emperor Yan to want us to make friends. I also agree to make friends. people."

Chen Shiheng is the representative of the main war faction. Of course he does not want to surrender, but the situation has changed a lot in just a few days.

First, the Crown Prince made a serious mistake when it came to the people leaving the city, so much so that His Majesty was tempted to abolish the Crown Prince. On the issue of whether to hand over the people, His Majesty's attitude was obviously in favor of handing over the people.

As Chen Shiheng's biological uncle, if he stood up and opposed the handover at this time, not only would it have no effect at all, but it would also make His Majesty even more disgusted with the Prince.

Secondly, Fengyutai has been taken over by King Jin, and agreeing to hand him over can effectively weaken King Jin's strength. After some consideration, Chen Shiheng immediately decided to change his attitude and agree to hand over the hand.

"Chen Aiqing, what do you think?"

Chen Shiheng immediately stepped forward and cupped his hands, "Your Majesty, I have thought about it seriously these days, and I agree to hand over the person."

Murong Zhengming nodded, "Okay! Since the three beauties have agreed to surrender, for the long-term peace and stability of Vietnam, then the matter is settled."

The three highest-ranking ministers of the Yue Kingdom all raised their hands and said, "Your Majesty, you are wise!"

The Yue Emperor Murong Zhengming had a relatively weak character. After receiving Yan Guo's credentials, he had already made plans to surrender. After the incident of people leaving the city, he deliberately suppressed the prince and weakened the strength of the main war faction in the DPRK.

The prince's attitude towards Yan Guo was too strong due to the influence of his uncle Chen Shiheng. It was not a big deal when Yan Yuanyue and the Three Kingdoms were in power.

But today is different from the past. Dayan unified the north, and only Yan and Yue were left in the world. Under the background of Yan Qiang getting weaker and weaker, Yue must learn to compromise if it wants to continue to survive. This is why Murong Zhengming suppressed the crown prince. .

If the prince does not make changes and always has a tough attitude towards Yan State, then Murong Haotian is not suitable to be the crown prince of Yue State, and Murong Zhengming will consider establishing another prince.

There is no way, this is the way for small countries to survive, and it is also the helplessness of weak countries.
