NOVEL WEB Chapter 14 Confessing the King
If Li Yao didn't react before, he finally woke up when he heard Little Ye Zi's urgent call:
Why did Chu Junyan ask his father for a marriage so quickly!
Li Yao remained silent, his face gloomy.
Li Yuan sighed inwardly. The situation was really embarrassing. He had just asked Li Yao to leave because he was afraid of this scene.
"Fourth brother, why don't we go take a look together, in case my father knows that you are here and comes to see you specially."
Li Yao's eyes flashed with hope, and he nodded lowly.
When Li Yuan and Li Yao walked out of the palace, Eunuch Li and two teams of young eunuchs were already waiting outside.
The specifications are more serious than before, obviously it's business.
Eunuch Li ignored Li Yao who was following Li Yuan. As soon as he arrived at Jingyuan Palace, he knew that Li Yao was inside.
He bowed slightly to Li Yuan and said, "Your Majesty, Fifth Highness, Your Majesty has summoned you. Please come with me."
Li Yuan sighed slightly. At this moment, Li Yuan felt like the final exam was over. The teacher who had just read the test paper had told you that you might fail this exam, but there is still a glimmer of hope for you.
Now that the test scores have come out, it feels like a score of fifty-nine.
Li Yao clenched his fists tightly in his sleeves and watched Li Yuan follow Eunuch Li away without saying a word.
In the imperial study, Emperor Yu stared at a large map on the wall. Yu's territory spanned twelve states, totaling 50 million square kilometers. It was the most powerful and rich dynasty in the world!
Except for Zhongzhou, where the capital of Dayu was located, the territory of each state was millions of square kilometers. The largest Zhongzhou covered an area of 8 million square kilometers, and the smallest Lianzhou covered an area of 2 million square kilometers.
This map shows the twelve states of the Yu Dynasty. Each state has various marks, including blue flags, red flags, black flags, and even special gray flags.
Except for Emperor Yu, no one knew what these flags represented.
Emperor Yu seemed to sense Li Yuan's arrival. With a wave of his hand, an invisible wave emitted, and the map covering the wall disappeared instantly.
"My son, I pay my respects to my father."
At Eunuch Li's signal, Li Yuan stepped into the imperial study and bowed respectfully to Emperor Yu.
"Yuan'er, do you know why my father came to you this time?"
Li Yuan sighed deeply, raised his head and looked at Emperor Yu, his heart already calm.
Life is not like that. Since you can't resist, just lie on the ground and do that.
Li Yuan understood very early that anger can never solve a problem, it will only make it worse.
"My son, I will obey any orders from my father."
When Emperor Yu saw Li Yuan's answer, he was very satisfied, looked at Li Yuan and said:
"When I go to court today, Chu Junyan came to the court to ask me to grant you a marriage to Chu Qingyan. My father agreed."
"Yes, I understand."
"Do you know why the Zhenguo government agreed to my marriage and dared to let Chu Junyan come to Beijing?"
"I don't know." When Li Yuan saw Emperor Yu starting to introduce the situation of the Zhenguo Mansion, Li Yuan quickly opened his inner notebook and wrote it down carefully.
Emperor Yu's eyes were dark, he took a few steps forward and said slowly:
"Twenty years ago, our Dayu Dynasty fought a war with the other two dynasties. Everyone knows that the two dynasties suffered heavy losses and have not yet recovered. However, our Dayu Dynasty also suffered heavy losses in that battle, and the imperial court was powerful. reduce.
The weakening of the imperial court's strength has caused the originally ambitious forces within the imperial court to begin to make moves,"
"But as long as I am alive, they will not dare to be bold and can only do some small tricks behind my back."
Emperor Yu's aura became more and more terrifying, only those dragon eyes flashed with scornful eyes, and the aura of dominance enveloped the imperial study room.
"This gifted marriage was just an idea I briefly proposed at the very beginning.
Those who really add fuel to the flames are these aristocratic families. They want Chu Junxiong to completely break with me and push the Zhenguo Mansion to the dynasty's overtly hostile forces. They want to benefit from behind the scenes.
Haha, they had a pretty good idea. Chu Junxiong didn't fall for it, but compromised with me! "
"Compromised?" Li Yuan glanced at Emperor Yu, whose aura was getting heavier and heavier.
The Zhenguo Mansion is located in Zhaozhou in the south, which has an area of nearly 5 million square kilometers. The largest force under the royal family has a million elite Molin fighting regiments to guard the city. This does not include the defenders of the city. There are countless fierce generals, such as strong ones. Yun, Zhaozhou only hears the name of the general, and his power involves the three states in the south.
However, there are still many ambitious forces in the Yu Dynasty. Although they are not as strong as the Zhenguo Mansion, there are also several forces that are only slightly weaker than the Zhenguo Mansion. Under the maintenance methods of Emperor Yu, this delicate balance is maintained. The Yu Dynasty had only maintained a peaceful life for so many years.
But it seemed that Emperor Yu didn't want to calm down anymore. With a slight move, the peaceful dynasty suddenly became turbulent secretly!
"Of course, do you think these aristocratic families will really help the Zhenguo Mansion? They just want to consume the strength of the royal family.
If he doesn't compromise and dares to jump out, the first person to be destroyed will be his Zhenguo Mansion.
During the dynasty war twenty years ago, under my "guidance", Chu Junxiong trapped a large number of elites from these ambitious forces.
Some forces hate the Zhenguo Mansion far more than the royal family! "
"As long as I think about it, these forces will be our vanguard!"
Emperor Yu's eyes flashed coldly, the ambitious forces in the dynasty were all rebels!
Emperor Yu had long wanted to clean up all these forces, but he didn't expect that the two dynasties would suddenly attack, causing the dynasty's strength to decline, while these forces had strengthened!
Time to clean up again!
Li Yuan's heart kept getting cold. He didn't know what Emperor Yu's role was in this matter.
An opener...?
A person behind the scenes...?
But he knew that he had become a pawn, located in the center of the maelstrom!
Emperor Yu glanced at Eunuch Li next to him. Manager Li took out the imperial edict and shouted: "Fifth Prince Li Yuan received the edict:"
"My son, I accept the order." Li Yuan half-kneeled to receive the order.
"The fifth prince Li Yuan will be sixteen this year. He is quick in writing and extremely intelligent. He won my heart. I gave him the word "Chu" and named him King of Chu!
However, Chu Qingyan, the beloved daughter of the general Zhenguo, was talented and intelligent. She was a perfect match for the King of Chu. They could get married when she was eighteen years old.
The King of Chu, Li Yuan, is talented and intelligent. Now he can relieve the worries of the court and benefit the people, so he can open a mansion!
One of the nine prefectures in Lingzhou is specially given to Lingyang Prefecture. The land of this prefecture is the fiefdom of the King of Chu. I admire this! "
Li Yuan suddenly raised his head, his face full of shock!
One place!
This fiefdom is too big!
In order to facilitate the management of the twelve states of the Dayu Dynasty, each state was managed separately!
The administration under the government is the county, the administration under the county is the city, then the town, and the smallest is the village.
"My son, I accept the order. Thank you for your love, Your Majesty!"
