Crane Chong dressed as a villain and a foolish king

Xiao Lang said without warning that he was going to move the capital, the officials below were subconsciously startled, and said to themselves: We only moved the capital last time after three generations of monarchs, why are we moving the capital again so soon?Isn't the world peaceful? Where do we go?

But then after thinking about it, I realized that I didn't hear clearly. It turned out that this was not to hide from the enemy, but to face the enemy directly. It was not to move to another place, but to move back!

This is an exciting event!

Since the establishment of the Dazhen Dynasty, the emperor and ministers have stayed in the western capital for hundreds of years. Don't mention how humiliating it was when they moved to the eastern capital. It is easy to move east, but it is difficult to move west. The western capital is in the northwest of the eastern capital. , the west and the north are all foreigners, and if the troops are weaker, they will not be able to hold them. This time Xiao Lang said that he wanted to move the capital, and none of the ministers objected. After all, they had an intuitive understanding of the court's ability to fight.

The foreigners in the west were already weak more than ten years ago, while the Rong people in the north were still fierce, but this time the invasion was also beaten badly. It can be said that as long as the emperor stops messing around and develops according to this momentum, the Dazhen Dynasty will be absolutely will return to its former glory.

It’s just that moving the capital is not a trivial matter. Such a big decision usually needs to be cautious and cautious. Ministers occasionally have this idea in private, but no one has ever mentioned it. Thinking that Xiao Lang was the first to put forward this proposal, and it was a final decision.

The emperor's courage and ambition have been clearly revealed, and the ministers are so pleased that they can't wait to wipe their tears.

But the feelings of the princes are a bit complicated. The court is strong, and they will naturally rise, but the eyes of the emperor are full of ambition, which makes them feel a little timid. In addition, two princes have already been annexed , they became more and more flustered.

After Xiao Lang threw out a sentence, all the officials were greeted with tearful shouts and bows. He didn't look at the princes who were mixed in with complex eyes, but turned his head to look at Zhuang Heng who was a little dumbfounded beside him, and said with a low laugh: "Last time As I said, we won't live here in the future, and we're going to move, what do you think of the new home?"

Zhuang Heng came back to his senses, dumbfounded: "This is the new home? This is the fucking old home!"

Xiao Lang was so amused by him that he laughed aloud, he was very happy, he held his hand and squeezed it: "Don't worry, the former residence has been vacant for a long time, there will be no souls floating around in it."

Zhuang Heng: "...Thank you! Moving back really kills two birds with one stone!"

Xiao Lang: "If you are worried, you can go and have a look in advance. I believe that the souls there have already reincarnated."

Zhuang Heng always felt that he was making fun of him for being afraid of ghosts, so he secretly pinched his palm.

The ministers were lively for a while, thinking that the court would be dispersed soon. After all, the two children had just come out, and there were many things to be arranged. The emperor announced that he would move the capital, so there were even more preparations to be made. Everyone couldn't wait to rush Go back and pack it up!

But when everyone was waiting for Xiao Lang to speak and was about to leave, Duke Liang, who had always looked calm, suddenly came out of the queue, knelt down under everyone's surprised eyes and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have something to announce."

Xiao Lang looked towards him.

Although the other princes didn't understand what was going on, they thought that Duke Liang had been running to the palace frequently and stayed for a long time. For some reason, they felt a "thump" in their hearts, feeling that something terrible was about to happen.

"Excuse me." Xiao Lang said, and after he got up, he said slowly, "What's the matter?"

Liang Gong said: "I have a temperament that loves leisure and hates work. Recently, I have become obsessed with cultivating immortals, but I have a heavy responsibility for the country of Liang, so I can't do it willfully. This is a miserable minister."

Other princes: "???"

What the fuck are you talking about?

Duke Liang sighed quietly: "As the king of a country, I feel exhausted, it seems that even my soul is bound..."

Ministers: "???"

Zhuang Heng tried his best to hold back his laughter.

Duke Liang expressed his thoughts in a long way, and the princes finally felt that something was wrong after listening to it, but before they could taste it, Duke Liang suddenly threw down a sentence comparable to fire and thunder. if.

"The minister has decided not to be the king of the country anymore!"

The audience: "!"

"I request Your Majesty to govern the Liang Kingdom. From now on, all collections of the Liang Kingdom will be turned over to the imperial court, and the appointment of officials will also be decided by the imperial court. I implore Your Majesty to forgive my selfishness!"

The audience: "!!!"

The hall suddenly fell into a dead silence. The ministers were shocked, and the princes were frightened. No one thought that this song was sung by Liang Gong. Is it because Liang Gong is really obsessed with immortality and not doing business properly, or is Liang Gong aware of current affairs? They made up a nice excuse, it doesn't matter, they just know that once Xiao Lang nods, they are all over.

In the silence, Xiao Lang didn't nod, but smiled, and refused: "You don't have to be like this, the king can cultivate immortality while you are in power. As a prince, you can cultivate immortality and govern the country without delay. Let's talk about Liangguo back then. Your contribution to helping my ancestors open up territories and level the world is indispensable, this is a reward given by our ancestors, how can we just throw it away?"

The princes breathed a sigh of relief: That's right!

Duke Liang knelt down again: "Liangguo, I really don't want it anymore! Your Majesty, please grant my request!"

The princes: "?!"

You fucking never stop, right?Have you considered our feelings?If you don't consider us, have you considered the feelings of your wife, children, and children?Have you considered the future of your servants and confidantes?How did you convince them to agree with your ridiculous decision?

The most important thing is, once you sing like this, how can we deal with ourselves!

The princes were so angry that they wanted to step forward and bite him, but no one dared to be presumptuous in the hall, let alone using hands, they didn't even dare to show emotion in their eyes.

The emperor sitting on it is no longer what it used to be, they dare not!

Duke Liang had made up his mind, Xiao Lang paused, and refused for the second time. Everyone can basically guess the normal operation process here. Later, Duke Liang had to ask sincerely for the third time, and Xiao Lang refused again. Once, by this time the heat is almost ready.

This is indeed the case. After three or three times, Xiao Lang pretended to make a compromise, but he also made a compromise: "Since Duke Liang decided so, I will take back the military power. The appointment and dismissal of officials is still up to you, and the collection is also up to you, only half of it is used for military use every year, what does Duke Liang think?"

Mr. Liang looked puzzled: "This..."

The princes couldn't see it: the play is almost done, right?What else do you want to sing?

Xiao Lang pretended to be displeased: "How can you just throw away the foundation left by your ancestors?"

Duke Liang stopped singing, and bowed to receive the order: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compassion! I obey the order!"

The princes were almost exhausted, and when they came back to their senses, they found that their backs were covered in cold sweat, but the matter was not over. Although Duke Liang kept his title, it was only a vain name left. There are only a handful of princes and monarchs in the main hall. Compared with Duke Liang, the remaining few are particularly eye-catching, and all of them can't wait to shrink their necks to minimize their sense of existence.

Zhuang Heng listened to the whole process and was amazed at the ancients' acting ability. This was not how Duke Liang acted before he entered the palace. At that time, he and Xiao Lang were simply fighting at the negotiating table. As for the benefits, Mr. Liang was so anxious that his eyes turned red a few times, so he almost rolled up his sleeves and slapped the table.

Fortunately, although Xiao Lang was ambitious, he didn't want to hurt his subjects. Duke Liang could set an example, so Xiao Lang would of course give him some benefits. In the end, the two sides finally reached an agreement.

As a result, now, Mr. Liang is acting that the years are quiet in front of everyone.

Convinced!

After discussing the matter of Duke Liang, Xiao Lang didn't keep everyone anymore, and waved his hand to say goodbye, the ministers returned to their respective families, and the princes could also return to their fiefdoms.

The princes walked out of the palace gate in a daze, dazed by the sun, almost unable to stand still, let the attendants stretch out their hands to support them, and waved quickly: "Hurry up, go to the hall, pack up and salute and go right away!"

They don't want to stay in this royal city for a day. Mr. Liang has become a good person himself, so that they can't come down. The emperor annexed the two countries one after another. The problems faced are not trivial, and are directly related to the life and death of the country.

Let them follow Duke Liang's example. They are unwilling to follow suit. If they don't follow suit, they will probably have a hard time in the future. However, no matter what the decision is, the king cannot make the decision alone. The ministers and Qing clans of their respective countries are involved. The chains are criss-crossing like the roots of a big tree, and it is very complicated. No matter what, go back and discuss what matters first, and the faster you go, the better.

The princes left in a hurry, but there was one person left at the gate of the palace, that is, Dai Hou. With the help of his attendants, Dai Hou boarded the carriage and did not rush away. He lifted the curtain and looked towards the palace gate, sighing, Beat your chest and stamp your feet.

His confidant came over to ask him what was bothering him, and he shook his head again. Speaking of which, he had taken refuge in the emperor early in the morning, his loyalty to the emperor was unquestionable, and the emperor also trusted him, but he was reluctant to part with the title, and never thought of being like a prince. Liang Gong said that he would give up, and now he is naturally at a disadvantage in comparison between the two, and he can't tell whether he regrets not showing up first, or he is annoyed about his embarrassing situation, in short, his mood is very complicated.

In the end, he just sighed again: "Oh, hurry back to Dai Country."

If there is anything, go back and discuss it.

The princes returned to the building one after another, quickly packed up and prepared to leave. When they saw Duke Liang returning leisurely when they went out, they inevitably congratulated them with hypocrisy. Duke Liang accepted them all with a smile and handed them off.

After the carriages left one after another, Mr. Liang stepped over the threshold and entered the building. When he saw his confidant around him crying, he couldn't help laughing: "Be happy! Who are you going to show me like this?",

The confidant choked up and said, "From now on, Liang Country will no longer be Liang Country."

Liang Gong smiled: "Do you know my painstaking efforts?"

The confidant burst into tears: "I know I know, but... I can't be reconciled! I'm not worth it for the master!"

Mr. Liang smiled: "There's nothing to be reconciled to. Those who know the current affairs are outstanding. Just don't blame me."

When he came to Wangcheng this time, he had agreed with his subordinates early on that the climate of the emperor had been established, and the unification of the world was the general trend. Instead of losing in embarrassment in the end, it would be better to give up early. At this time, he had just fought Beirong for the court. The emperor saw that he had made great achievements, so he couldn't be too much. He retreated as an advance, sent military power but kept his title, which was also a good thing for the ministers under his opponent.

The emperor will remember the old love and treat his old ministers kindly.

Mr. Liang patted his confidant on the shoulder: "Men don't shed tears easily, let's go, pack up and go home."
