The tyrant empress is my wife, I am invincible and have been hiding

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I am the ruler of the Song Dynasty, so I naturally cannot become the equal king of the Western Shu Dynasty."

Ye Feng stood in the court, his expression calm and his face as usual.

He didn't take Liu Jing's reward seriously at all.

"Your Excellency, that's a bit rude, isn't it? Do you know that our Emperor has conferred upon you the title of King of One Word, which is the highest honor in the 320 years since the founding of the Western Shu Dynasty? Are you refusing just like that?"

The Minister of Rites Fei Wei never expected that Ye Feng would refuse the title of King of Yizibingxiang so straightforwardly, so he stood up and scolded him.

"That's right, your Great Song Dynasty's guardian monarch is nothing compared to our Western Shu Dynasty's equal king, who shares the entire country with Your Majesty." Another court official couldn't help but say.

"I heard that Master Ye was originally from the Wei Dynasty, and later went to the Song Dynasty. Now he is the King of our Xishu Dynasty. Isn't that better than the Song Dynasty?"

The Minister of Personnel Shu Ju also echoed.

For a time, all the civil and military officials in the court turned to winning over Ye Feng.

Pang Mingtong had a smile on his old face. He took a few steps forward and bowed to Ye Feng: "As long as Mr. Ye is willing to become the King of the Western Shu Dynasty, this old minister will do his best to assist you. Please do not disobey the wishes of His Majesty the Emperor."

Ye Feng's expression did not change from beginning to end. He raised his head and looked at Liu Jing in front of him: "Since His Majesty the Emperor keeps saying that he wants to repay my kindness, then don't use those empty words. Please be straightforward. I still have to take the cavalry and hurry back to the Song Dynasty!"

When Liu Jing heard Ye Feng's firm words and looked at the expression of the young man in front of him, he felt unwilling in his heart.

He wanted to use Ye Feng for the Western Shu Dynasty.

The Song Dynasty was on the verge of extinction, but in just over a year, it was able to fight against the three major dynasties.

If Ye Feng could stay in the Western Shu Dynasty.

The Western Shu Dynasty will inevitably rise in the future.

"Mr. Ye, are you really unwilling to offer advice to the Western Shu Dynasty? What if I can even give you the throne?" Liu Jing's old face was full of sincerity, and his somewhat old eyes were full of expectations as he looked at Ye Feng.

Ever since he ascended the throne at the age of seventeen, he has always been thinking about the rise of the Western Shu Dynasty.

Therefore, he and Pang Mingtong formulated a plan to allow the Western Shu Dynasty to develop steadily for a hundred years. They believed that with safe development, it would surely rise in the future.

Now, Liu Jing sees the hope of rising right in front of him, and he really doesn’t want to miss it.

"Ye is not interested in the throne, Your Majesty, there is no need to say more."

Ye Feng was firm in his attitude.

"Ugh!"

Liu Jing couldn't help but sigh, his face full of helplessness.

"Then please stand aside, Mr. Ye, and I will give you an explanation." Then he said slowly to Ye Feng.

Ye Feng did not hesitate and took Dashan and Lao Huang to the side.

All the civil and military officials were shocked.

Who is this young man in front of me? Why can't even the imperial power shake his beliefs?

Why would the Wei Dynasty let such a person go his own way?

They really can't figure it out.

"Someone, bring Liu Xie up here."

As soon as Liu Jing gave an order, two guards grabbed Liu Xie and brought him to the center of the court.

"Liu Xie, as the crown prince, you have evil intentions, are ambitious, and do not know when to advance or retreat. You have brought disaster to the Western Shu Dynasty. Do you know your crime?" Liu Jing looked at Liu Xie with cold eyes.

"Father, I am truly innocent. Please let me go... Please..." Liu Xie knelt in the middle of the court. It was impossible for him to admit to poisoning Liu Jing. He could only play the family card and kept begging Liu Jing at the top of his lungs, hoping that Liu Jing would soften his heart.

"Forget it! Forget it! You still don't repent even when you are about to die." Liu Jing didn't expect Liu Xie to be so timid. Among his sons, he has always admired Liu Xie the most and wanted to train him, but now he feels disheartened: "Pass on my imperial decree. Crown Prince Liu Xie intends to rebel and is incompetent as regent. You will be beheaded in Yunzhou City at 3:30 tomorrow afternoon."

"Ah! Father... Father... Don't... I know I was wrong... Please..." Liu Xie knelt on the ground and begged continuously.

A look of pain appeared on Liu Jing's face and he waved his hands.

Tiger poison does not eat children.

As the emperor, if he does not punish Liu Xie today, not to mention the complaints of the people all over the world, even the civil and military officials in the court may not be convinced.

What's more, Liu Xie sent troops to attack the Song Dynasty, and now he must give Ye Feng a clear attitude.

No one in the court dared to plead for Liu Xie.

"Lord of the Song Dynasty, I wonder how you want my Western Shu Dynasty to compensate your country for its losses?" Liu Jing took a deep breath. Since he couldn't keep Ye Feng, he could only try his best to make friends with the other party. So he simply changed his address.

"I think it's very casual. Your Majesty can give it as you see fit." Ye Feng did not make a clear request, but threw this difficult problem to Liu Jing.

Liu Jing's heart also skipped a beat. The fewer requirements there are and the more casual it is, the more it means that you can't be casual.

The entire court fell into silence as Liu Jing fell into deep thought.

It took about half an hour.

Liu Jing seemed to have finally made up his mind and said slowly, "There are four counties bordering the Western Shu Dynasty and the Great Song Dynasty. I will give these four counties to you. I only have one request. I hope that you, the king of the state, can treat the people of the four counties well."

Hua Hua Hua...

"His Majesty……"

When Pang Mingtong heard Liu Jing speak, he directly allocated four counties to Ye Feng. As the prime minister, he couldn't help but want to advise him not to do this!

However, Liu Jing simply stretched out his hand, indicating that he didn't need to say anything more, with a firm look on his face.

"Haha! Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I will not refuse it. I hope Your Majesty will keep his promise. I will withdraw with the cavalry first."

When Ye Feng heard that Liu Jing directly divided four counties and gave them to him, he did not refuse. He turned around very casually, holding the Emperor's Sword, and walked out of the court.

puff!

Seeing Ye Feng's departing back, Liu Jing felt his blood boiling. A mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, and he seemed to have aged dozens of years in an instant.

The entire Western Shu Dynasty had only eighteen counties, but now four of them were divided out, which was equivalent to one quarter of the territory. As an emperor, how could he not be angry?

But, does he have a choice?

Originally, he wanted to give Xu Yefeng a high position and generous salary so that he would stay in the Western Shu Dynasty and serve him. However, he didn't know that he was not even interested in the throne.

"Your Majesty! Take care of your dragon body!"

Upon seeing this, all the ministers knelt down quickly.

"I'm fine."

Liu Jing waved his hand, signaling all the officials to stand up, and said slowly: "If it weren't for Liu Xie, the rebellious son, how could our Western Shu Dynasty have come to this? I am unwilling to accept this..."

Da da da……

Outside the palace, the sound of horse hooves resounded through the sky and gradually faded away.

Liu Jing raised his head and looked in the direction of the Great Song Dynasty. He took a deep breath and said, "There must be no obstacles in the handover of the four counties."

"It is a blessing for the Song Dynasty that the little girl emperor can recruit such young talents! I am afraid that in the future, the Song Dynasty will surely rise in the Nine Provinces."

At such a young age, he was unmoved by the throne and came and went so freely. What kind of state of mind did he reach?

Culture can govern the country and maintain peace, while martial arts can conquer the world.

Why didn't such wise and capable people belong to the Western Shu Dynasty?

woohoo...

At this moment, a majestic figure appeared in the court. He was wearing a gray robe and a bamboo hat. He probably didn't have a sword in his hand, but at this moment, he appeared in the court holding his beloved sword.

The person who came was none other than Liu Banchen, the swordsman from Western Shu.

"Your Majesty, I have come to say goodbye to you."

Liu Banchen spoke first.

The faces of all the civil and military officials changed drastically. They all knew the reputation of the Western Shu swordsman Liu Banchen. That was the national treasure of the Western Shu Dynasty. Was he preparing to leave?

"Are you going to leave me too?"

Liu Jing's voice trembled a little.

"Ye Feng and I agreed that if he saves His Majesty, I will go to the Song Dynasty with him. Your Majesty knows that I always keep my promises." Liu Banchen said slowly.

All the civil and military officials then realized that the person who awakened Liu Jing was actually Ye Feng.

They finally understood why His Majesty was willing to give up the throne to the other party.

"Go, go... Liu Banchen, you want to leave, but how many people in this world can keep you here?" Liu Jing waved his hand, his voice full of disappointment.

After failing to recruit Ye Feng, he ceded four counties, and now Liu Banchen is leaving again.

“Before I leave, I will point out a clear path for your majesty and the Western Shu Dynasty.” Liu Banchen turned around and was about to step out of the court. He paused and said, “I hope your majesty will not go against Ye Feng!”

After saying this, his figure disappeared in the court.

Liu Jing's eyes became a little dazed, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses: "The Great Song Dynasty may really be rising!"
