Chapter 316: Prince Gao
Several counselors were dragged away without a word .
Then he was beaten with a military stick.
This made the other counselors who wanted to shout silent instantly, and they dared not speak anymore.
Xie Yong showed a sinister expression at this time, and said to these counselors.
"I know that you are Xie Ning'er's people... Before, I gave you some face. But now, it seems that I have no choice but to turn against you. I think it is very necessary to tell you... Although you are Xie Ning'er's people, I have also sent people to take care of your family members..."
After hearing what Xie Yong said, everyone looked unhappy.
"Second Prince...you...you...we are also forced into this situation..."
Xie Yong looked at everyone and said, "Don't worry... I know you are forced into this situation. So, I am taking good care of your family for you. As long as you listen to me... they will be safe... You should be smart people. Xie Ning'er is too prominent now. Do you know how many people in the Great Zhou want him dead?"
After hearing Xie Yong's words, everyone was stunned for a moment and then looked at Xie Yong.
Some smart people just showed a faint smile on their faces.
Then he said to Xie Yong, "Your Highness the Second Prince is right... We will definitely follow your lead in the future..."
Xie Yong smiled coldly and said, "You are a smart person..."
Soon, the people nearby also knelt down to please him.
…
Xie Xunfeng led his army on the march for five days.
Five days later, the army finally arrived at Ping'an City on the border of Xia and Zhou.
It's ironic.
This peaceful city is not peaceful at all.
Whenever the Xia and Zhou dynasties went to war, the first to suffer was the City of Ping'an.
The person guarding Ping'an City is the son of Prince Gao, the largest prince of a different surname besides Prince Guan.
The difference between Prince Gao and Prince Guan is.
Prince Gao's family was enfeoffed, and their welfare was the same as Prince Xiao's...
Prince Gao and the late emperor were sworn brothers.
Moreover, Prince Gao is also very good at fighting.
Together with Prince Guan, they are known as the Twin Devils of Daxia.
However, this old Prince Gao is different from old Prince Guan.
Prince Guan is devoted to the country and is very selfless.
However, Prince Gao was more utilitarian in his pursuit of wars, for the sake of gold, silver, treasures and power.
Prince Gao is not greedy for power.
He is just very greedy for money.
The reason why he, as a king of a different surname, can still live freely until now.
The reason why he was not liquidated was because Prince Gao was extremely greedy for money.
As the late emperor said, it is not terrible for a person to be a little greedy for money.
Instead, it is better controlled.
He said that if a person is not greedy for money or power... that would be terrible.
It is impossible for a person to be truly indifferent to fame and fortune.
When a person is indifferent to fame and fortune, they may be coveting your throne.
It’s because Prince Guan has always been too selfless.
Therefore, they were never divided into different fiefs and were always kept in Longyang City.
However, Prince Guan was also very clear about this.
He was also a smart man and sensed the royal family's fear of him.
He simply gave up all his military power.
And Prince Guan was left with only one youngest son, who was considered a dandy boy in the eyes of outsiders.
This is why he was not purged by the royal family.
From this perspective, this old Prince Gao is actually much smarter.
Now, Xie Xunfeng has also sent people to investigate the people guarding the city.
It was none other than Prince Gao’s youngest son, Gao Zongbang.
This Gao Zongbang is also a playboy.
Normally, when the army changes guard, the generals should come out to welcome them.
At this time, the army outside Ping'an City was on high alert, ready .
Xie Xunfeng led his men to the army stationed outside the city.
