Transmigrated into the book to become the villain prince, the son of the plane to destroy

In the past few days, the situation in the Luoyang court can be said to be turbulent on the surface, but turbulent in the dark.

There is no other reason, because Li Li, the Prime Minister of Linyi Kingdom, went to Beijing to meet Daning Emperor Xiao Ji in person, and complained in tears that the Jiaozhou local government encouraged the people to provoke Linyi Kingdom's border army and attempted to provoke a border war. Ning is respectful, respectful and docile, but Daning regards conquest as a trifling matter. It is a great injustice to use weapons against Linyi country when Linyi country is not at fault.

He also said that at the beginning of the founding of Daning, Linyi State presented a letter of credence and begged for submission as a vassal. Emperor Taizu Wu promised to the envoys of Linyi State that Linyi would be a country that would not be conquered. Now the Jiaozhou army brazenly invaded Linyi. For example, if Daning doesn't stop fighting, Linyi Kingdom will definitely unite as one, and fight to the death with the invading army of Ning Dynasty. Even if the battle is the last one, they will never surrender...

Li Li's words and deeds naturally made Xiao Ji very displeased. Lin Yiguo is just a small vassal state living in a corner. It is disrespectful to dare to speak to himself like this, but it is not easy for Xiao Ji to punish him. After all, if everything is as Li Li said The Jiaozhou army invaded first, and Daning naturally suffered later. If this matter really spread to the ears of other vassal states, it would inevitably arouse their vigilance and fear of Daning, and it would greatly damage the prestige of the Celestial Kingdom.

Therefore, before the matter was clarified, Xiao Ji had no choice but to order Honglu Temple to appease Li Liduo to avoid further expansion of the situation.

However, before Xiao Ji could send someone to Jiaozhou to investigate, the prefect of Jiaozhi County, Chen Shan, sent someone to send a memorial to him in a hurry. He confessed that he had indeed encouraged the people of Jiaozhi County to provoke Lin Yiguo's frontier army. But all of this was ordered by Qi Wang Xiao Jie, who is the governor of Jiaozhou, and he had to do it.

What's more serious is that in the memorial, Chen Shan also told Xiao Ji a piece of news that almost made him faint, that is, Xiao Jie's family general Yingyang General Ye Qiu had led [-] Jiaozhou troops into Linyi Kingdom, further expanding fighting.

Xiao Ji understood everything in an instant. This was a premeditated invasion against Lin Yiguo, and behind the scenes it was his good son Xiao Jie who was manipulating all this.

He could even guess Xiao Jie's reason for doing so.

The Qilin Guard in Jiaozhou had sent news to Luoyang a long time ago. Now that there is a food shortage in Jiaozhou and the price of food has skyrocketed, it seems that there is a suspicion of instability.

But Xiao Jie never mentioned a word to himself from the beginning to the end, nor did he ask for a grain of food from the imperial court. Xiao Ji waited and waited to see how his son would resolve this crisis, so that his father, the emperor, could experience it His statecraft.

It's just that he never expected that Xiao Jie's solution to the problem was to send troops to attack Linyi Country, which is rich in rice, and obtain a large amount of grain by looting Linyi Country, so as to solve the food crisis in Jiaozhou.

Although Xiao Ji understands his son's thinking, it doesn't mean that he can accept and approve of Xiao Jie's approach.

Now the food crisis in Jiaozhou has been resolved, but the court in Luoyang has fallen into an unprecedented crisis.

Daning can use troops against most countries at will, but he must never attack his own vassal states.

Because since ancient times, the Central Plains Dynasty has always attracted guests from all over the world because of its strong national power. The surrounding small countries have always respected the Central Plains Dynasty and surrendered willingly. Paying tribute to the court every year, even their succession to the throne requires the recognition and canonization of the Central Plains court, otherwise it will be unfair.

But now that Xiao Jie brazenly sent troops to attack Lin Yi, who was a vassal state, what would other vassal states that surrendered to Daning think and look at Daning? These vassal states are covetous and have the intention of annexation. The final result is that these vassal states are alienated from Daning, and even break away from Daning's suzerain-vassal system. It will be completely ended in Daning Dynasty.

At this moment, Xiao Ji was really disappointed with Xiao Jie in his heart. Because of his three tactics of intercourse, Xiao Ji always thought that his son had the ability to govern the country, and he also wanted to train him to be a qualified heir. Don't worry about passing on Daning Jiangshan to him, and even when he was implicated because of his mother and concubine Wang Guifei, he didn't mean to blame him at all, but sent him to Jiaozhou to practice in order to protect him.

And a few days ago, when Xiao Jie was suppressing the rebellion of Jiaozhou chieftains, he massacred the Yue rebels, confiscated their land and distributed them to his subordinates, and forcibly forced the chieftains who did not participate in the rebellion to move to Panyu and put them under house arrest. It also caused an uproar in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and they wrote letters accusing Xiao Jie of being too cruel and detrimental to His Majesty's sanctity. Save him.

It's just that he never expected that not only did his son not restrain himself, but he became more reckless and intensified. He even dared to send troops to attack Lin Yiguo without asking the court for instructions, making himself and the court injustice.

Now it seems that Xiao Jie is only good at strategy and leading troops to fight. Although he talks about the way of governing the country, he is very eloquent, but now that he has handed over Jiaozhou to him, he has managed it in a mess, and frequently blamed himself and the court. If you cause big trouble, it seems that you may not be able to be a qualified prince, maybe you have to reconsider the candidate for the crown prince.

Xiao Ji couldn't help but heaved a long sigh, if Xiao Jie couldn't do it, the third son Xiao Huang would actually be a good candidate, but why is he the son-in-law of the Wang family!

Xiao Ji could actually understand Xiao Huang, after all his mother was just a talented person of low status, if Xiao Huang didn't marry a daughter from a family, it would be hard for her to make it to the top.

It's just that it's not good for him to marry, why must he marry the daughter of the Wang family? He is so smart, can't he see the wolf ambition of Wang Chong and his son?Aren't you afraid that one day you will stand on the opposite side with your father?

Thinking of this, Xiao Ji's eyes showed a hint of murderous intent. After all, the Wang family still wants to control their sons.

Although Xiao Huang's relationship with the royal party is not close now, and he has never done anything against him, but he is the son-in-law of the Wang family, which is always a thorn in Xiao Ji's heart.

Xiao Ji sighed heavily again, after all he was his son, Xiao Ji still decided to give Xiao Huang a chance.

Before long, two decrees were issued at the same time inside and outside the palace. One was to confer the concubine Song, the concubine of King Xiao Huang of Qin, as Zhaoyi.

The second is to canonize Song Duan, the elder brother of the Song family, as the Shaoqing of Taifu Temple.

Now that the trend of "nine sons taking over the heir apparent" is in full swing, the emperor made an exception at such a sensitive juncture to elevate the status of Song, the mother and concubine of King Qin Xiao Huang, and even promoted several ranks to reuse the uncle of King Qin Xiao Huang, which will inevitably make people daydream.
