After saying that, Huang Shirong pondered for a moment and continued, "By the way, what is the situation of those families in the royal capital at present?" The families Huang Shirong mentioned referring to the Grand Marshal Pang family, the Prime Minister Ji family and the Chief Military Advisor Yue family.

"They? Humph! They all have no matter what they have to do. Pang Ruhai used the excuse to go down to inspect the troops and leave the Wangdu a few weeks ago. As for Ji Xiangcheng, they just stayed in the door. During this period, countless people who came to visit him were all blocked outside the mansion. And Yue Buyi had not seen anyone for a long time. It is said that he took his apprentice Jin Zhe out to visit friends." Empress Dowager Rong snorted coldly and replied very dissatisfiedly: "Father, these people are probably not expected now."

"Bang!" However, Huang Shirong slapped the table and shouted: "I knew that the two old men, Pang Ruhai and Ji Xiangcheng, must have had a conspiracy. As expected, if I guessed correctly, I'm afraid the southern part of the kingdom would be in chaos soon."

"Father, what do you mean?"

The three brothers and sisters of the Huang family also stepped down at the same time.

"Hmph, is it necessary to say it? Then Pang Ruhai left the king at this time and was probably going back to his territory to dispatch troops and generals. He was in-laws with Ji Xiangcheng again. These two old men probably had planned secretly long ago." Huang Shirong snorted coldly.

"Father, what should I do? If Pang Ruhai also raised an army, his prestige of being a great marshal for so many years would probably be more dangerous than Long Ziyue." Empress Dowager Rong's face looked extremely ugly. She was used to being a master of the people, but she didn't want the empress dowager who had been two days before she was driven down.

"What else can I do? Now I can only stop the soldiers and generals, and the water and soil are covered." Huang Shirong's face was not good either. He said silently: "In this way, I will write a letter to the Prime Minister of the Ming Empire in the future. I ask for his help, and now I have to let the Ming Empire intervene."

Everyone was silent for a while, and Huang Shirong continued, "By the way, how is Xiao Tianci from Qingzhou now?"

"Hmph, what else can I do? I heard that this kid plans to hold a singing and dancing event in Xingye City recently. Now he is inviting dancers, celebrities, and big businesses from the mainland. Even the king has many people invited. The invitation was also sent to our house a few days ago. I want to ask my father, you can also attend." Huang Zhenghu, the second son of the Huang family, snorted coldly and said with some dissatisfaction.

After hearing Huang Zhenghu's words, Huang Shirong was silent for a while and sighed: "It seems that this little guy is very ambitious. I invite people from the mainland. In this way, boss, you and the second brother will see who can take the time to go there. The situation in the capital this time is so critical. As the Marquis of Zhenxi, the commander of Tianqing Mansion should also do his best to let him send troops to support the capital directly."

"Yes, father." Huang Zhenglong and Huang Zhenghu looked at each other and responded.

.....

Tianqingzhou, Xingye City. The city lord's mansion.

Since Long Ziyue started his army in Tianlongzhou and the northeast of the kingdom was caught in a turbulent fire, Xiao Tianci, who had been closely following the development of the situation, had to convene all the military and political ministers under his command to Xingye City to convene a huge meeting.

As there are more and more people, the hall of the City Lord's Mansion has to be re-expanded. Now the newly built hall is actively spacious and it is absolutely no problem to accommodate hundreds of people. As for the backyard where Xiao Tianci lived, someone originally proposed to re-expand it. However, Xiao Tianci refused. Now he has to use money everywhere, so it would be a little bit to save. If the original hall was not too small, he would not agree to the expansion.

In the hall, civil and military officials were all left and right, and Xiao Tianci's team gathered together again to discuss the current domestic form.

However, the main point of everyone's view is to focus on two points. The point is to take this opportunity to rush the troops eastward with the opportunity to occupy as much territory as possible while the king was unable to take care of himself and expand his strength. This view has been praised by generals such as Lu Bu, Cao Chun, and Huang Dehua. Another view is to ignore it and develop himself secretly. As long as it does not affect their Tianqingzhou, don't care even if it is overturned outside.

. Zhang Jingting's view is actually tenable. After all, he also said that their civil servants and soldiers are not enough now, and they are not ready to fight. So what if they conquer several states? At that time, there will be not enough officials to manage them, and they will disperse the already-small soldiers again. It is easy to be seized by the enemy to defeat them one by one. It is better to defend the land of a state first, take back the fist, accumulate strength, and intimidate those guys who secretly plot against them.

In the hall, the two sides who supported their respective opinions were arguing endlessly. Both sides had their own reasons, but they could not convince each other with great confidence. As Xiao Tianci's right-hand man, Jia Xu and Zhang Liao, who followed him from the beginning, have been sitting there silently since the beginning of the meeting, and have not expressed any attitude towards the views of these two sides.

Xiao Tianci had never expressed his opinion, but when he saw that the argument was a little over, he coughed twice. When he heard Xiao Tianci's voice, everyone below immediately calmed down and looked at Xiao Tianci.

Xiao Tianci smiled gently and nodded to Jia Xu and Tian Feng who were sitting at his lower head and said, "Wenhe, why are you not talking all the time? Do you already have an idea in your mind?"

Jia Xu and Tian Feng looked at each other, and Jia Xu said first: "Lord, this matter is actually quite beneficial to us. In the war, the energy of all forces in the kingdom will involve Princess Ruyue's army, which is a very good situation for our external environment."

"What do you and Yuan Hao think about the views of the two sides just now? " Xiao Tianci continued to ask.

"Lord, we are taking the initiative now." Tian Feng, who was sitting at Jia Xu's lower head, took over and said with a smile: "Now Princess Ruyue's army is like a stirrer, completely stirring up the lake that seems calm on the surface but surging under the kingdom. Countless forces in China who have been waiting for opportunities emerged, wanting to share a sum of money in this competition. Our Tianqingzhou is in a corner. It is not the target of public criticism, but now we can focus on development and prepare for the momentum. When the Central Plains is almost fought, we will send troops. At that time, we will be almost ready, and secondly, we can consume the strength of these major forces first, and finally wait for work and decide on one battle."

"Oh, it seems that Yuan Hao, you are still inclined to keep your troops first and wait for an opportunity to move?" Xiao Tianci did not make a clear statement after hearing this. Instead, he smiled with a laugh.

"It can't be said that the troops are still moving." Tian Feng shook his head and said, "My opinion is that our army can remain unmoved, but secretly they can send small groups of troops to the states near our Tianqing Prefecture, and secretly lurk in preparation, waiting for the opportunity. When the war comes together, the light and darkness will be combined. These people will definitely play a huge role."

"Mr. Tian is inappropriate." As soon as Tian Feng finished speaking, Cao Chun on the side jumped out and shouted loudly.

"Oh, I wonder what General Cao thought was wrong?" Tian Feng was not angry either. He smiled at Cao Chun and asked.

"Mr. Tian, ​​I want to know. Even if we do not move, other domestic forces may put their targets on us. At that time, we will have to passively deal with it if we are afraid that the enemy army will be in a hurry." Cao Chun thought for a while and said.

"I can answer you this question." Jia Xu gently touched the goatee and looked at Cao Chun and then said to Xiao Tianci: "Lord, I haven't said anything yet. According to the spy's return, the great marshal Pang Ruhai of the Kingdom had already returned to his fiefdom Lianghe Prefecture month ago. Lianghe Prefecture and the adjacent four sides, Qinghe Prefecture and other prefectures have begun to move. If I guess correctly, the garrisons of these three states have been all networked by Pang Ruhai, and they will definitely rebel within a few months."

Xiao Tianci was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that the great marshal of the kingdom was also an ambitious person and was ready now. "Wenhe, is this matter sure?"

"It should be certain that Pang Ruhai is also a relative of the kingdom's prime minister Ji Xiangcheng, and he also has a considerable force in the hands of Ji Xiangcheng." Jia Xu nodded and responded.

After hearing this, Xiao Tianci frowned and pondered for a moment and said, "I didn't expect these two cunning old guys to jump out, but it's normal. Today's kingdom is indeed the weakest time in a thousand years. The former king is stupid and the new king is still young. He is worried about internal and external troubles and is full of holes. Everyone wants to take a bite on this rich cake." After Xiao Tianci said that, he sighed.

"Haha, lord, if the kingdom is not like this, how could we have a chance to rise?" Jia Xu smiled sinisterly and said as if he was pointing out.

"Yes, the end of a dynasty will surely welcome the birth of a new dynasty," Xiao Tianci nodded and turned around and said, "By the way, Wenhe, as if the wind kingdom is scattered today, there must be other information there, so don't pinch it, just talk."

"I did receive some information, but it was quite secret. I don't know if it was accurate." Jia Xu hesitated for a while before speaking: "I sent back information from the shadow guard spies in the Tianxing Kingdom and the Tianchen Kingdom. During this period, the top leaders of the Tianxing Kingdom and the Tianchen Kingdom had very diligent secrets. If I guessed correctly, these two countries should have reached some kind of agreement and planned to send troops to the Feng Kingdom together."

"It seems that these countries can't help it." Xiao Tianci was not surprised after hearing this. After all, the Tianxing Kingdom had been eyeing the Tianfeng Kingdom that time and had launched more than once invasion wars. Today, the Feng Kingdom is worried about domestic and foreign troubles, and the domestic wars are on the rise again. With such a good opportunity, the people in power in their Tianxing Kingdom will certainly not let it go.

After pondering for a while, Xiao Tianci spoke again: "Wenhe, do you have any detailed information about these two countries? Now it seems that our biggest enemy in the future will be the real and most difficult opponents except for these people in the country."

Jia Xu picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip of tea and said, "Lord, the four kingdoms under the Ming Empire, Tianxing, Tianchen, Tianfeng and Tianyun, are all countries that have been passed down for thousands of years. In terms of comprehensive strength, decades ago, our Tianfeng Kingdom was the number one in the four countries, but since Longsheng became increasingly stupid, the national strength has declined very quickly. Now the strongest of the four major countries is Tianxing Kingdom, followed by Tianchen and Tianyun. The Tianfeng Kingdom has declined to the weakest level among the four countries."
