Chapter 156: Each with His Own Agenda
The counselor nodded repeatedly and said, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince is a man of foresight..."
"However, Xie Xunfeng's survival is always a hidden danger... Although Your Majesty despises him very much. But in all dynasties of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the eldest son of the legitimate wife was always the heir. If the eldest son of the legitimate wife had not died young, the virtuous man would have been chosen as the heir! Since it is the Great Xia that controls Xie Xunfeng, it is very likely that they want to win over those people in the court who want to establish the eldest son of the legitimate wife as the heir?"
After hearing the counselor's words, Xie Yiren said with disdain, "That fool is nothing to be afraid of! Meng De was the most beloved prince of the Northern Liang Emperor, and was also a candidate for the Northern Liang Emperor. Now that he is dead, the Northern Liang Emperor will surely vent all his anger on Xie Xunfeng and Daxia. If the two countries rekindle the war, it will naturally be what I would like to see most. By the way, doesn't their Second Prince want us to help him kill his eldest brother? Now it is considered to be fulfilling his wish. Go and write him a letter."
The counselor said to Xie Yiren, "Your Highness, what you mean is that we should support the Second Prince and let him work for us? Then we can sow discord between Daxia and Beiliang? We can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and reap the benefits?"
Xie Yiren smiled slightly.
…
The capital of Northern Liang, Fancheng.
The Emperor of Beiliang summoned all the princes and they were in the mourning hall, looking at Mond's body.
The Northern Liang Emperor's face turned livid, and it looked as if his eyes could spit fire at any time.
"The people of Daxia have gone too far! They even dared to torture and kill my son... I must make them pay the price! Come on, mobilize the troops! If I don't massacre a few cities of Daxia this time, I will not be able to ease the hatred in my heart!" The bearded, tall and strong emperor of Beiliang said hatefully.
"Father Khan, please think twice! I heard that the civil strife in the Great Xia Kingdom has been settled now. If we rashly start a war, it will not be beneficial to us..." The Second Prince of Beiliang bowed at this time.
"Then let your brother be tortured to death for no reason? Will we remain indifferent?" The Emperor of Beiliang asked sternly.
The second prince of Beiliang cupped his hands and said, "Father Khan, since ancient times, any march to war must have a legitimate reason. And this time, my brother has signed a life and death agreement with them... If we rashly send troops, we will be unjust and unreasonable... Moreover, it is unwise for us to go to war with Daxia... If my father Khan believes me, please let me go to the Yuedan meeting, and I will definitely avenge my brother!"
"What do you have in mind?" The Emperor of Beiliang said to the Second Prince of Beiliang.
The Second Prince of Beiliang pondered for a moment and said, "If we can instigate a war between Daxia and Dazhou, this will be our Beiliang's chance. Therefore, as long as Daxia and Dazhou are at odds, Dazhou will definitely form an alliance with us. As long as they form an alliance with us Beiliang, then Daxia's position as the overlord will be lost..."
"The Great Zhou has been recuperating in recent years, so how could it go to war with Qin Yi of the Great Xia?" The Emperor of Beiliang said with a frown.
The second prince of Beiliang said, "Father Khan, do you remember my newly married wife? She is the eldest princess of Daxia. She was persecuted by the people of Daxia and was tattooed! The emperor of Daxia married her to me in order to humiliate him and us Beiliang. However, they don't know that my wife is from Daxia. She knows Daxia very well and knows their emperor very well. As long as we treat the symptoms, it will not be difficult to provoke this war!"
After hearing what the Second Prince of Beiliang said, the Northern Face Dog Emperor pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, then Meng Ao, I will leave your brother's revenge to you... If you do a good job, I will make you the Crown Prince!"
After hearing this, the second prince Meng Ao immediately knelt on one knee, placed his left hand on his right chest and saluted, "Thank you, father Khan. I will never let you down!"
