Chapter 335 No Matter What
After Xie Yong finished speaking, he led his army to retreat.
Moreover, before leaving, he announced his surrender to the army of a certain vassal king.
As a result, he was preempted by another prince .
The two vassal kings started fighting with each other.
Xie Yong couldn't help but admire Xie Xunfeng's scheming.
He knew very well that this was no longer a war.
Under Xie Xunfeng's planning, it has become a drama...
And both he and Xie Xunfeng were acting.
Only these princes took it seriously...
He only left thirty empty cities and was able to hold back an army of 400,000.
These armies already have old grudges.
Inspired by this incident, it exploded all of a sudden.
At first it was just to grab territory, and later it was to vent personal anger.
They simply started doing it on the territory of the Great Zhou.
Just when they were fighting in full swing and constantly deploying troops on the border.
In the court of Daxia.
Xiao Shentian, who knew the whole story, pretended to be extremely angry...
Because, at this time, the twelve vassal kings under their command actually started fighting in the court.
They all have their own reasons...
Xiao Shentian slammed the table heavily, then cursed at the princes.
"Each of you take a look... take a look... you have brought shame upon me to Da Xia... have your brains grown on your buttocks... Da Zhou used only a little trick to trick you into this state... and made you fight with each other... have you not come to your senses yet?"
"Your Majesty, this is not the case. It's all the fault of that guy Lao Liu. They had clearly surrendered to us, but he still came to rob them. After robbing them, he was still not satisfied and attacked my other two cities. Your Majesty, you have to understand... You have to make the decision for me..."
"Your Majesty, that's not the case. It was this old fellow, the Fourth Brother, who had his men join forces with the Eighth Brother to steal our food supplies... We..."
…
The princes started quarreling. Xiao Shentian listened and said with a sullen face, "Okay... You don't want to listen to me, right... Then I won't care... If any of you want to rob, go ahead... But if you lose the more than 30 cities that you have conquered with great difficulty, I will ask questions for you..."
After Xiao Shentian finished speaking, his face turned pale with anger, and then he left.
The civil and military officials in the court, as well as the vassal kings who were still arguing, were left staring at each other in bewilderment...
"Why did your majesty leave?"
"Yes... Your Majesty hasn't explained it clearly yet..."
"Go and invite His Majesty back..."
After listening to the words of the princes, Guan Chong took a step forward and said to them, "My Lords... Didn't His Majesty make it very clear in his instructions?"
When everyone heard Guan Chong say this, they immediately looked at him in surprise. "Did you say that? Why didn't we hear it?"
Guan Chong said to everyone, "Of course I've said it... His Majesty said that he can't control you... All the princes are his majesty's elders, and he is a man of flesh and blood... If you help one, you will always lose the other... So, His Majesty said that you can handle it yourselves... The only thing is that you can't lose the cities that my eldest brother conquered before... As long as the cities are not lost, your battles are also internal affairs, right... After the battle, just report to His Majesty..."
After Guan Chong finished speaking, the princes looked at each other in confusion.
There were several ministers standing by, who also echoed the sentiment.
The princes listened to Guan Chong's words and pondered over the emperor's words.
After listening, there was silence for a moment.
Then he left alone.
After the group of princes walked out, they were stopped by a eunuch beside the Queen Mother...
"My Lords, the Queen Mother invites you..."
"Tell the Queen Mother that I am not feeling well... I will not go either..."
"Yeah, he only has eyes for Prince Gao... Let Prince Gao go... I won't play with him anymore..."
"Just tell the Queen Mother that if he favors Prince Gao... we can only take care of ourselves..."
Gao Zhongbo heard what everyone said, frowned and said, "Everyone, the Queen Mother is doing this for our own good... Even His Majesty has seen through it. This is a plot of the Great Zhou... It is to divide us..."
"Hmph, Gao Zhongbo! What you say sounds better than what you sing... You are so selfless. There are more than thirty cities sitting in the city, but you only stood in ten... If you have the guts, return those ten cities of yours to us... You don't want them..." An old prince pointed at Gao Zhongbo and cursed.
After Gao Zhongbo heard the old prince's words, his face suddenly became gloomy.
Then he said to Gao Zhongbo, "Why! Why... I conquered those ten cities. If you want them, I have to give them to you... You are my father..."
"Gao Zhongbo...Okay...Since you've said so much, I won't be polite with you anymore...Since you said you conquered these ten cities by yourself...I want to see how you conquered them. Just wait..."
…
After the princes finished speaking, they all left with gloomy faces.
Gao Zhongbo was the only one left, so he said to the eunuch, "Sir, let me go with you..."
After hearing what Gao Zhongbo said, the eunuch nodded slightly and then said, "Please come in, old Prince Gao..."
After arriving at the Queen Mother's palace.
The Queen Mother was holding a Buddhist bead in her hand, and seemed to be muttering something...
I saw the eunuch bringing Gao Zhongbo over alone.
There was no one following behind him.
The usually calm empress dowager can no longer stand.
He slammed the beads on the table and said to them in a stern voice, "Where are the people?"
The eunuch bowed and relayed what the princes had just said.
After hearing what the Queen Mother said, she frowned and said to Old Prince Gao, "Zhong Bo! Tell me...how did you get things to this point...why can't you just let them..."
Old Prince Gao frowned, and then said to the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, I also want them to... but those old guys are so bloodthirsty... now, even His Majesty doesn't care..."
The Queen Mother was silent for a moment and then said, "This is a vicious plot of the Great Zhou... Let you fight each other... Can't you see it? I have said... After the fight, I will definitely give you a share... I will definitely give you a share... What do you want to do?"
Old Prince Gao said to the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, even if it is a trick... now they are all too excited... and the soldiers from all sides have already gone too far... it may be too late to ask them to stop now..."
