The Prodigal Son of the Empire

Page 2500

This is the awareness of thoughts that will naturally arise after a person reaches a certain height...

So he wants to re-establish a new order, create a new pattern, and solve the problem fundamentally!

If you want to talk about ambition, this is indeed his ambition.

Several people were talking about some details, basically led by Wang Kang, what he proposed was not entirely his own arbitrary power, but shared great benefits for them.

This is a win-win situation, what's your opinion?

The conversation was harmonious and progressed smoothly.

After a while, Zhou Qing came to report that the envoys from Eastern Chu had arrived.

"Then I'll go over and have a look, you guys talk first."

Wang Kang said hello and went.

The issue of Eastern Chu must be resolved, and there are only two days left before the enthronement ceremony. Before that, at least a final decision must be made.

In fact, Wang Kang is more interested in the envoy Wen Zhang who is respected by everyone. What kind of talents does he have?

Coming to the designated place, this is also a side hall.

Without notification, Wang Kang went in directly, and saw five people waiting inside, and they were also the main members of the mission.

"I have seen..."

Obviously they had done their homework, and they recognized Wang Kang as soon as he walked in, but they were stunned for a while and didn't know what to call him.

Because Wang Kang has not officially ascended the throne, strictly speaking, he is not yet an emperor.

"I've seen adults."

At this time, Wen Zhang stood up and asked a question neither humble nor overbearing.

"You call me my lord? I will be the emperor of the new dynasty in two days. Isn't it inappropriate for you to call me that?"

Wang Kang looked at him with a smile, but it made the other envoys feel a chill.

This Wen Zhang was too abrupt and offensive.

Who do you think is in front of you?

"That will be two days later. You will not be the emperor until you are officially enthroned."

Wen Zhang said: "And it may not be our emperor..."

"Bold!"

The accompanying officials immediately reprimanded Wen Zhang, because Wen Zhang's words were not condescending, and these words clearly had a different meaning, which was serious disrespect.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly cooled down.

The other envoys were trembling and looked at Wen Zhang reproachfully.

Aren't you looking for things on purpose?

However, Wen Zhang showed no fear, neither humble nor overbearing.

Wang Kang asked calmly: "Why do you say that he may not be your emperor?"

"You are the founder of the new dynasty, and your jurisdiction is your captured area. Strictly speaking, Eastern Chu belongs to the old dynasty, not the new dynasty."

These words startled everyone even more, it was extremely bold!

The subordinates behind him were all ready to take it down, just waiting for Wang Kang's eyes.

Wang Kang said coldly: "Our army has conquered most of the Chu Kingdom, easily defeated Shouchun, and changed the dynasty!"

"It's nothing to wait for little Dongchu, I send troops at will, and I can easily destroy it!"

"I agree that you have such strength, but I don't think you will do this, because it is quite unwise."

"Why?"

Wen Zhang said: "When you came to Shouchun, I saw that the place is stable and stable. You are very popular with the people. I also learned that you have also started to implement reforms in the captured areas, which is also very popular."

"Where does this popularity come from?"

Wen Zhang asked himself and answered: "Because the war is over, you started to restore stability. This is what people look forward to, and everyone is extremely against war."

"This is the overall situation and cannot be damaged."

"You can send troops to solve Eastern Chu by force, but this will inevitably waste money and people. How many people will be affected by the war?"

"The eleven vassal states of Eastern Chu are the last piece of pure land. Once the war starts, they will lose the support of the people. This is the trouble."

"Besides, given the current situation, I don't think you have the strength to launch a war. Chu State's treasury has long been empty. Where did the huge military expenditure come from?"

Wang Kang was expressionless, but he had to admit that Wen Zhang was telling the truth.

This man really has talent.

"So, a peaceful solution is the only way!"

Wen Zhang said: "I have been authorized by the nine princes and kings of Eastern Chu. As long as you agree to allow the existence of the feudal kingdom and the throne, then my Lord Feng Wang and the nine princes and kings will belong to them from now on. Eastern Chu is designated as the new dynasty. This matter can be announced at the enthronement ceremony two days later!"

"In this way, your enthronement ceremony is considered perfect!"

This statement came out.

It was the other envoys who looked at Wen Zhang in surprise. It turned out that the real voice was waiting here...

After such an analysis, it seems that he can only agree.

This is negotiation.

Suppress first and then raise, extremely brilliant.

"Preserve the country and keep the throne?"

Wang Kang said calmly: "It's nice to say, do you think I will allow this kind of country to exist?"

"I am not the Emperor Chu!"

This statement came out.

The atmosphere in the hall became silent again.
