C2556 The Officials Were Worried
Yuan Feng Country was just a small country outside of the city. It could not be compared to Money Yuan Kingdom. They had fewer people and fewer resources. The resources that were given to the Great Lu Dynasty traitors. To the Money Yuan Kingdom, it might not be a big deal. However, to the Yuan Feng Country, it was nothing. It's not a small burden.
However, he also knew that under those circumstances... Even if they were unwilling, they could only agree to the conditions of the despotic general. That was because their enemy at that time was the Fengjue Country, and they needed the help of those traitors in the Great Lu Dynasty.
Therefore, although they hated the despotic general's decision to kill first and report later, they could only agree to the other party's decision.
And as the emperor of Yuan Feng Country, he might think of more things. That was, those things that the domineering general had promised those traitors to the Great Lu Dynasty. Perhaps it was not only to get their help, but also to make use of this opportunity. Weakening the strength of the other countries outside the pass.
Although, because of the power of the Fengjue Country, these countries were doing this for the sake of their own safety. At this moment, they were still allies, but once the threat of the Fengjue Country was removed... Then, they would once again become competitors. They might even be enemies, but the Money Yuan Kingdom only had the Fengjue Country. As for the destruction of the Fengjue Country... This made the Emperor of the Yuan Feng Country... It was inevitable that he would think more about it.
Otherwise, why would that domineering general agree to so many conditions of the Great Lu Dynasty rebels? One had to know that those conditions were a little too abundant, even if it was to obtain the help of the Great Lu Dynasty rebels. It was a little too generous.
"In this expedition, besides attacking the Fengjue Country, you must also be careful of the rebels from the Money Yuan Kingdom and the Great Lu Dynasty." The emperor of Yuan Feng Country said to a man dressed in military uniform in the main hall.
"Your Majesty, do you mean that those people from the Money Yuan Kingdom might attack us?" Before the man in military uniform could say anything, the general spoke again.
"I don't think so. The Fengjue Country has yet to be destroyed. If the people from the Money Yuan Kingdom don't want to dig their own graves, they won't attack us at this time, right?" The man continued.
"Hmph, I'm afraid that they will think that victory is within their grasp and kill us." The emperor of Yuan Feng Country coldly harrumphed and said. Obviously, he said, "The temptation of unifying all the countries outside the pass is just that I'm afraid that the person in Money Yuan Kingdom will be blinded by it."
"Are they that ambitious?" The general in military uniform said.
This general was the one who led the expedition this time. He was very brave on the battlefield. However, he was not very good at the schemes and plots in the temple hall. Therefore, he had never thought of this before. He had always thought that Money Yuan Kingdom was a trustworthy ally.
"It will only be bigger than what you think." The king said, "You have to be careful during this expedition. Although the Fengjue Country suffered a serious injury, if it was not for the fact that the War God had died... If the death of First Prince causes the morale of the army to fall into chaos, even if we form an alliance army... Neither of them are a match for them."
"This general understands." The general cupped his hands.
It was only at this moment that he realized that this upcoming expedition... It was not as simple as he had thought. He had to be careful of the Fengjue Country. Be careful of Money Yuan Kingdom. And they were in a few countries outside the pass. They were the weakest and the weakest. If the domineering general really wanted to do something to them... If they didn't prepare in advance, the consequences would be very serious.
Everyone went to work in the shop for a while. Old Emperor looked tired. He seemed to have turned paler. Just as everyone was about to leave... He suddenly said, "If anything happens to me, let First Prince inherit this position. We can't be chaotic, and we can't give other countries an opportunity. "
"His Majesty is safe and sound!" A few ministers quickly turned around and knelt down.
"I know my own body condition." The king said: "Besides, I am just in case. I don't want to see the unfilial children get into an internal conflict after I die"
After that, the king coughed a few times. Huang Feng, who was hiding at the side, had sharp eyes. He could also see the blood that the king coughed out. According to Huang Feng's observation, this Old Emperor had indeed reached the point of running out of oil. His lifespan should not be more than a week. It was no wonder that the other party would tell him the funeral arrangements here.
This made Huang Feng a little difficult to deal with. Originally, he was prepared to replace the Emperor. He had arranged for a puppet, but now, the other party was about to die. Presumably, the news of his illness was spread among the numerous ministers. It wasn't a secret, and if he suddenly recovered, it would cause some people to suspect him. On the contrary, something would happen.
Therefore, Huang Feng decided to make a move on the princes of the king, especially First Prince, who had already been appointed as the future heir.
After coughing a few times, the king waved his hand and asked the ministers to leave. After that, he left the hall with the help of the eunuch next to him. The heavy footsteps made the ministers who had yet to leave the hall... They were extremely depressed.
"According to the news from the Imperial Physician Court, His Majesty is afraid..." a minister said softly.
"These things are not something we can discuss." The official who reported the matter waved his hand to stop him. Obviously, he held a very high position in the crowd. Once he stopped him, that person decisively shut up.
"We, as officials, can only listen to His Majesty's arrangements and support First Prince. We cannot let this country become chaotic. If that happens, we will give other countries more opportunities." The official continued.
Everyone nodded. Then, another official hesitated and said, "Although His Majesty intends to pass the throne to First Prince, Second Prince seems to be unwilling."
Everyone present subconsciously frowned. Although this Yuan Feng Country was small, he was the one who had attained the highest position in the empire. He also had a lot of power in his hands. So... Naturally, there would be people who would have thoughts about that position.
The Emperor intended to pass on the location to First Prince, which was also in line with tradition. Everyone agreed with him, but His Highness Second Prince did not seem to be willing to accept such an outcome. He was usually very active and kept befriending the ministers. Whether it was the civil officials or generals, he had contact with them. And although the Emperor had reprimanded him before, but... He didn't punish him severely, which seemed to make the ambitious Prince Second Prince even more active. Especially recently, when the health of the Emperor was deteriorating, he became more active.
