Chapter 1650 Negotiated!
This will be a collision between the old and the new dynasty, and it is also the primary issue that the new dynasty will face. Whether the new law can be implemented in Dongchu depends on this dynasty.
Although Wang Kang clearly stated that he would resolve the issue peacefully, is there still a risk when he comes directly?
Therefore, people are considering whether these princes and kings of Eastern Chu dare to come?
This is another problem.
Wang Kang said on the day of the throne that if the throne ceremony is held within fifteen days, if he does not come to pay his respects, he will send troops to clear the goods directly, which is also the most severe threat.
People do not doubt this.
This Majesty is conquering the world and establishing a country with force. I believe he will not hesitate...
This will be a big show that will attract everyone's attention.
At the same time, the king of Dongchu Feng was in Gaobao City, and all the princes and kings were discussing whether to go or not.
They did not leave because they were waiting for news from Shouchun.
Now that the news has been sent back, all the situations are known, it depends on how to make a decision?
The atmosphere is solemn.
All the princes and kings are considering that Shouchun may be safe and sound, or they may be in danger, which no one can say.
Wang Kang had officially agreed to them that they would allow the ban to remain as usual, but it also gave them a difficult problem.
You must go to Shouchun within the fifteen-day period, otherwise troops will be sent to clear the goods.
In the past, there are corresponding etiquettes.
It is also a tribute to the people.
You need to prepare generous gifts, etc.
But these fifteen days, the time was too tight and there was no time to prepare them.
It’s not about preparing gifts, but about making arrangements. What should I do if something happens in Shouchun?
Therefore, they are very confused.
After a long time, Xiang Baichuan, the King of Feng, said quietly: "You must have known the current situation. Since Wang Kang has asked us to arrive in Shouchun within fifteen days, this means that he knows that we are all in Fengguo, and the time is enough, and the letter Wen Zhang sent me back also explains this."
This is terrible.
This shows that their movements have always been controlled by Wang Kang.
"What should I do if you guys?"
Xiang Baichuan asked in a deep voice.
"Go, what can I do?"
King Xiang You felt helplessly: "I can't beat him but I finally fought for the opportunity to retain the ban. Did you miss it?"
He always had great palpitations for Wang Kang because he knew how powerful his true strength was...
"Yes, Wang Kang announced in full view of the throne that he had just ascended the throne. Could it be that he would dare to go back on his word and ruin his reputation?"
"According to the news sent back by the envoy, Wang Kang did promise to resolve the Dongchu issue peacefully, which also confirmed this."
Everyone was talking.
"What if?"
Some people also have concerns, after all, this is not a trivial matter...
"Now Wang Kang has gained a good reputation, and the people of all cities in Dongchu have full trust in him. He gave us his choice. If we don't go, he will have a real excuse to stand firm in the righteousness. This is an open conspiracy, and we have no choice!"
Someone said it, which caused everyone to nod.
This is the most uncomfortable thing.
At the beginning, Wang Kang said that he would seek a peaceful solution to the extent that the people would not be invaded and suffering.
Everyone knows it if you want to spread it.
After all, we all know that with Wang Kang's strength, it is OK to conquer Dongchu even if we are strongly attacking him.
Ordinary people only look at the surface, but do not analyze internal problems.
This also won the public's hearts and opinions for Wang Kang, and people's resistance was greatly reduced.
If the princes and kings do not go to pay their respects, that is your problem.
It is normal for the new king to succeed to the throne and go to pay homage.
Although time is tight, maybe Wang Kang just wants an attitude.
"It seems that we can't do it if we don't go?"
"yes!"
"What do you think, King Feng?"
Someone asked.
After all, this matter was successfully negotiated under the auspices of Wen Zhang, the chief adviser of Xiang Baichuan. Moreover, Fengguo is the strongest in Dongchu today, and he has become a vacuum.
"Go, why don't you?"
Xiang Baichuan said, "If we don't go, we will be verbally polite and become passive. Wang Kang has already expressed his opinion in public. Do you still dare to go back on your word?"
"He just ascended the throne, what he needed most was the people's hearts and opinions. Can he block the public's mouths? He is the emperor, but he has to consider more when doing things!"
Everyone nodded, this is indeed the case.
"Everyone, we can't be fooled!"
Xiang Baichuan sneered: "The implementation of Wang Kang's various policies shows that he is quite excluding the vassal system, but what he needs is stability and a justification and open reason!"
"Maybe he was sure that we didn't dare to go. If he responded, there would be such a limit. Then he would have a perfect excuse!"
"But we won't be fooled!"
"That's right!"
"That's what the king said!"
"Haha, it's true when you think about it."
Many princes and kings laughed.
"We not only want to go, but also go openly. Doesn't he like to preach? Then we will preach even more, which is also the best protection for us."
"It makes sense. Wang Kang will use the people's hearts and opinions, so how can we not use it?"
Xiang Baichuan continued: "Of course, we cannot place all hope on Wang Kang's kindness, and we must be prepared."
"You will immediately send a letter to the Fengguo and inform your confidants that if we encounter any crisis in Shouchun, we will immediately start a crime at all costs!"
Xiang Baichuan said in a deep voice: "As long as we all unite, Wang Kang will take great care of it, so that we can guarantee that no one can disintegrate us!"
Hearing this.
Everyone nodded.
Everyone understands the principle that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. The key now is unity...
"What should I do if King Bo and King Jue?"
Someone asked.
There are only nine princes and kings in the East Chu here, and two of them have not arrived.
"King Bo has already made contact. He is not far from Fengguo, so he should be consistent with us."
A prince explained.
His fiefdom is neighboring with Bo.
"What about King Jue?"
"There is no news from King Jue, and he doesn't take the initiative to contact us, and he seems to have some problems."
“What’s the problem?”
"He seems to be in contact with Wei Guo."
"Defense?"
"Jieguo seems to be adjacent to Weiguo. What does he want to do?"
"He doesn't care about anything he wants to do. He thinks that Weiguo and Wu are good things, and we won't participate."
"Would you like to notify him? Maybe he doesn't know the news."
"Why should he notify?"
Xiang Baichuan sneered: "According to Wang Kang's request, if you do not arrive in Shouchun within fifteen days, you will be cleared."
"If King Jue doesn't go, it means he has not met Wang Kang's requirements. We can also see if Wang Kang is speaking empty words or really wants to take serious action?"
Hearing this.
The crowd suddenly realized.
It's really clever...
