Chapter 521: Confused King

"It is true that good people are often bullied and good horses are often ridden. If the emperor agrees to this, he will fall into the trap of the powerful families. I have said everything I should say. If the emperor issues an order this time, in the eyes of the King of Yan, the emperor will be a tyrant and there will be no father-son relationship. The emperor should take care of himself!" Mi Yan was furious.

Since he entered the court, he has been trying to make Zhao Heng rely on the King of Yan to deal with the powerful families.

But it is difficult to persuade the damned ghost with good words.

Zhao Heng repeated his repeated actions, and finally disappointed him.

"Asshole, you dare to talk to me like this, get out, get out!" Zhao Heng was immediately furious.

He could not afford to offend the powerful families, but Mi Yan, a poor scholar, dared to offend him.

If it were not for the fact that he was the uncle of the King of Yan, he would have asked the imperial guards to drag him out and kill him.

Mi Yan chose to remain silent, saluted, and left the imperial study.

After leaving the palace, Mi Yan sighed to the sky, "This Dasong is the Dasong of the powerful family after all, and the royal family is also a powerful family after all. There is no place for the poor family. Is it because the mother of the King of Yan came from a poor family that he should be like a bastard and never be trusted, or is it because..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly realized something.

A layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.

"So that's it, so that's it." Mi Yan suddenly realized.

After thinking for a while, he got on the horse and walked towards the mansion.

On the way, he kept thinking whether Zhao Heng treated the King of Yan like this because of the incident that year.

"Be careful!"

At this time, a voice suddenly sounded.

Then, Mi Yan felt a huge force coming, and he was dragged to the ground.

And an out-of-control carriage suddenly hit the horse he was riding.

"Boom!" There was a loud noise, the horse screamed, fell to the ground, and the carriage also fell on the road.

Seeing this scene, Mi Yan was stunned for a long time.

At this time, a hand patted his shoulder, "Lord Mi, someone is impatient with you, so you'd better stay out of the house."

Mi Yan turned his head and looked, but the person who spoke had disappeared.

After swallowing his saliva, Mi Yan seemed to understand.

When he returned to the mansion, he immediately claimed to be ill and submitted a memorial to resign from the post of censor.

...

Dou Mansion.

After Dou Wei left the court, he invited Han Zheng and others to his mansion for a banquet.

In the past, he was still afraid of Zhao Heng.

But now, Zhao Heng is just a puppet sitting on the throne temporarily for him.

He can replace him at any time.

The only reason for not taking action is that the Dou family and other powerful families are recruiting soldiers, making firearms and armor, and training the army.

Especially his Dou family, after obtaining the excellent war horses from Beidi, is building an iron cavalry.

This will give the Dou family an advantage over other powerful families.

At the same time, with the support of the Xiao family, his Dou family will undoubtedly be the first powerful family in Dasong.

As long as other powerful families are willing to nominate the Zhao family as the royal family, just like they recognized the Zhao family in the past.

His Dou family can replace the Zhao family and become the new royal family.

The third prince can also ascend the throne smoothly.

Of course, at that time, he will recognize that Zhao Mu's surname is Dou.

However, just like the war at the end of Liang, the royal family will not voluntarily admit defeat.

Just like the tiger king will not voluntarily give up the mountains and forests to the young tiger.

There is always a fight between the two.

"It won't be too long." Dou Wei looked at the people in the banquet, imagining that they would surrender to his Dou family just as they surrendered to the Zhao family before.

"Brother Dou, if we can take back the three southern counties this time, Han will definitely give a generous gift." Han Zheng interrupted Dou Wei's reverie with a word.

"It's a small matter, a small matter, but I'm afraid that even if the imperial edict is issued, the King of Yan will not hand over the three southern counties. The current King of Yan is actually the same as us, all like local lords." Dou Wei said.

Han Zheng was slightly disappointed, but he knew that there was little hope.

But Dou Wei's mention is better than no mention.

"In my opinion, Brother Dou's real purpose is to sow discord between the emperor and the King of Yan, right?" Xiao Cheng asked while holding a dancer in his arms.

"That's right, the one who knows me is Brother Xiao." Dou Wei gave Xiao Cheng a thumbs up.

Looking towards the direction of Yanzhou, he said: "The only one Zhao Heng can rely on is the King of Yan. If the two rely on each other, it will be very troublesome for us."

"The prime minister is smart. If the father and son have a grudge, they can only fight each other, so that they can be defeated one by one." Han Zheng clapped his hands and praised.

The best situation for them at the moment is that Zhao Heng and his son do not have any contact.

At the same time, Beidi and the King of Yan are both dragged to Ningjindusi and cannot be distracted.

In this way, he and the Wang family will send the second prince to the throne.

Turn around and deal with the King of Yan and Beidi who are both injured, and the world will be settled.

Liang Kai looked at Dou Wei and Han Zheng with a wine glass.

If Dou Wei's plan succeeds, it will also be beneficial to his Liang family.

After all, Zhao Heng's sending of craftsmen to the King of Yan made him very unhappy.

If they alienate each other, the King of Yan will not be able to get any support from the court.

It will be much easier to deal with the King of Yan.

As long as the King of Yan is destroyed, with the strength of his Liang family, he will not care about other powerful families.

Whether it is sending the fifth prince to the throne or letting other families recognize the Liang family as the first powerful family, it is all right.

The three people have different thoughts, but they all have smiles on their faces. '

Raising the wine glasses, the three drank them all and laughed.

After drinking for a while, a servant suddenly came to Dou Wei and whispered something in his ear.

Dou Wei laughed again when he heard this, "Everyone, let me tell you a joke. Just now, I just wanted to scare Mi Yan, but this censor claimed to be ill and refused to go out. It is said that he also submitted a memorial and resigned from his official position."

"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed.

Wang Zian said, "These officials from poor families are still too young compared to our powerful families."

"That's natural. Our powerful families have been passed down for two or three dynasties, and the children of our families have been officials in the court for generations. How can these poor people who have never seen the world compare to them." Xie Duan said disdainfully.

He also had his own little thoughts, but his contempt for poor families was no different from that of others.

"Humph, in this case, let's keep his dog life for the time being." Dou Wei sneered.

He arranged the out-of-control carriage.

The Dou family was preparing in Jingzhou, and he felt that it was time to get rid of the people in the court who disliked him.

Yang Feng, the old man, packed up his things and got out of the capital.

It was time to get Mi Yan out of the court.

In this way, the court of Dasong can restore the grandeur of the founding of the country, with the whole hall full of powerful families.

Of course, the most important thing is.

This will make it easier for them to gradually control the court and make Zhao Heng, the emperor, in name only.

And their seven powerful families hold the power of the court and command the world.

...

The palace.

When Dou Wei was feasting, Zhao Heng approved Mi Yan's resignation.

He was still angry, "The King of Yan is arrogant, and he is also arrogant. He really doesn't take me seriously."

Seeing this, Liang Cheng said anxiously: "Your Majesty, calm down. Although Mi Yushi made a mistake, it was also for the emperor. You should think twice before giving this imperial edict to His Royal Highness the King of Yan. If the King of Yan is really angry, the powerful families will have no scruples. How will the emperor suppress Dou Wei and others in the capital?"

He never liked to mention the government in front of Zhao Heng.

But Mi Yan resigned, and no one persuaded Zhao Heng anymore, and the Dasong Dynasty was really over.

In fact, Zhao Heng also knew that what Mi Yan said made sense.

He was just angry out of shame.

So he said: "Even so, we can't let the King of Yan go his own way in the future. In my opinion, we still need to adopt checks and balances."

After a pause, he said: "In my opinion, it is impossible for the King of Yan to give up the three southern counties. Just take one of the two conditions proposed by Dou Wei to save him from making trouble. Issue an order to let the King of Yan send Princess Changle back immediately."

Liang Cheng sighed in his heart and bowed in response.

The next day, the imperial edict set out from Jinling and went to Yanzhou.

Although Dou Wei was slightly dissatisfied, he accepted it.

In his opinion, this was enough to alienate Zhao Heng and his son.

Seven days later, the imperial edict arrived in Yancheng.
