Iron Dynasty

By the lotus pond, the blood that once covered the ground has now been washed away by a heavy rain.

The beautiful scenery makes it impossible to see that there was a brutal fight here not long ago.

Wei Wang looked at Xiao Ming with a smile, just waiting for Xiao Ming's answer.

Uncle Sanhuang, Cangzhou can't be defended, can the fief of Uncle Sanhuang be able to hold? Could it be that Uncle Sanhuang still counts on King Yan and King Chu to save him? Xiao Ming said lightly.

Now he doesn't need to worry about King Wei's face. This court meeting made him see clearly that the traitorous officials of the Great Yu Kingdom are in power. Many vassal kings have malicious intentions, and his father Huang Kong has great ambitions, but he is reluctant to lose himself. Everyday luxury.

There was no one to help him, he had to get through it on his own.

King Wei looked embarrassed, Nephew, it's not like you don't know the relationship between me, King Yan, and King Chu. If they don't take the opportunity to fall into the trap, I will burn high incense. This time, I think about it, it's just you and me. Only by working together can we overcome difficulties together, don't you think?

Xiao Ming thought to himself that this is still like a human word, when he said the words of King Wei, he completely wanted to use him as a spearman.

In order to prevent the barbarians from going south, Xiao Ming has been very busy these days. He said: Uncle Sanhuang, since you have come to Qingzhou, you must also need me Xiao Ming. The second three emperors came here simply because I wanted my Qingzhou army to be the main force in guarding Cangzhou, and if the third emperor could not use the army, he would not use the army to preserve his strength. After all, the third emperor also had to guard against the two kings with different surnames, the king of Chu and the king of Yan. Is it right?

King Wei was stunned. He didn't expect Xiao Ming to be so direct. He smiled bitterly and put away his hippie smile. It seemed that his nephew really couldn't look at it the way he used to.

Since my nephew said so, I will not hide it. This time, my nephew must have seen the plans of those kings with different surnames, especially this king of Chu, who is just waiting for the barbarians to sweep the north. To get rid of other vassal kings for him, and Zhao King and others obviously do not want to provoke the barbarians, so there is a seemingly contradictory decision in the court, but behind this is actually just a game behind the vassal kings. Wei Wang slowly said.

After a pause, King Wei continued: The emperor is probably forced to helpless this time. In order to resist the barbarians over the years, our royal family has provided money and grain, but these money and grain have fattened King Zhao, King Liang, The generation of King Yong, the southern vassal kings with different surnames are sitting on their hands and growing, but the royal family is gradually weakening in this consumption. If the barbarians go south this time, you and I will be destroyed. At that time, the royal family and the vassal kings with different surnames The strength will change, and I am afraid that there will be no scruples, and it is only a matter of time before the world changes hands.

Xiao Ming nodded, and everything King Wei said came to the point. Obviously, this incident was a scheming of a vassal king with a different surname, in order to further weaken the royal family and pave the way to seize the throne.

After a generation of feudal kings with different surnames in the Gaozu era went west on a crane, there was no longer any affection between the royal family and feudal lords with different surnames.

The ever-expanding ambition will inevitably bring about turbulence again and again in this barbaric era.

Uncle Three Emperors sees it thoroughly, but it is obvious that the father has no other way, and now he can only rely on us. If we hold on, we can naturally defeat their conspiracy. Xiao Ming said.

King Wei said so much, but in fact it was just for Xiao Ming to transfer his hatred to other vassal kings and take the opportunity to bring the two closer together.

He said: So, it's not that Uncle Huang is unwilling to help you with all his strength, Uncle Huang is also trying to prevent accidents.

Xiao Ming sneered in his heart. If he was Xiao Ming before, he might really consider some kind of royal family, but unfortunately, he has nothing to do with King Wei, or even Xiao Wenxuan.

In this city of Chang'an, apart from Concubine Zhen, he doesn't care about any life or death. After all, this woman is also the mother of his predecessor, and now she is thinking about him like a mother.

Speaking of defending Cangzhou this time, he was really unhappy with King Wei's people coming, and it wasn't that King Wei couldn't do the stabbing in the back.

He said: Hey, I thought it was too simple. It turns out that the uncle of the three emperors thought so deeply. Well, in this case, this time, my nephew will bring the Qingzhou army to defend the city. Uncle came to the rescue in time.

King Wei was overjoyed in his heart, but his expression was as usual. He looked moved and held Xiao Ming's hand tightly, My nephew, if we defeat the barbarians in the future, I will be my nephew and ask the emperor for credit.

Xiao Ming pretended to smile, and then changed the conversation, Thank you to the third uncle, but the nephew of Cangzhou City can guard it, but the uncle must know the details of his nephew's arrival in Chang'an. helped.

King Wei shook his hands in fright. He was blackmailed by Xiao Ming last time, and this time Xiao Ming was about to open his mouth again.

However, he wanted Xiao Ming to resist the barbarians for him this time, but he couldn't refuse. He reluctantly said: I have some iron and coal that my nephew needs. If my nephew needs it, I will send it to Qingzhou. .

Then I would like to thank the third uncle. If the iron and coal are enough, the city of Cangzhou can still be defended. Otherwise, although my nephew wants to defend the emperor, I am afraid that he is unable to do so. Xiao Ming sighed.

The corner of King Wei's mouth trembled. He originally wanted to give something away, but when Xiao Ming said this, he didn't dare.

This iron and coal are at best a matter of silver. He, the king of Wei, is the richest in the world. No one knows or cares, but if the barbarians enter the Wei land, he will really suffer heavy losses.

He gritted his teeth and said, Nephew, don't worry. Even if Uncle Sanhuang buys it, he will definitely provide iron and coal for nephew.

Thank you again, Uncle Three Emperors, come, eat vegetables and drink.

At this time, the banquet was ready, Xiao Ming stretched out his hand and invited King Wei to drink together.

Holding the wine glass, Xiao Ming glanced at King Wei, and found that King Wei was also looking at him. The two smiled at each other, one was the old fox and the other was the little fox.

At this banquet, Xiao Ming asked the dining room of the palace to prepare a lot of delicious food he taught. King Wei, who had always liked to eat, was full of saliva and was full of praise.

After a feast, King Wei was naturally very satisfied.

It was noon when King Wei arrived in Qingzhou, and he would definitely not be able to go back today. Xiao Ming asked Ziwan to arrange accommodation for King Wei in the palace.

This time was different from what happened last time. King Wei tasted this delicious food, but he wanted to stay in Qingzhou City for a few more days, and he did not reject Xiao Ming's arrangement.

With King Wei's promise, the shortage of ore in Qingzhou's army can be alleviated temporarily, but for Xiao Ming, this is far from enough.

Because in this era, even in the fiefs of King Wei, the output of coal and iron was very low, and the annual output of iron and coal in the entire Great Yu Kingdom might not be enough for Qingzhou to consume this time.

After all, in modern times, the annual output of a steel mill is enough to explode the annual output of the world in this era.
