The Prodigal Son of the Empire

"You must allow it."

Wen Zhang didn't give in at all.

"What if I say no?"

"Two days after the enthronement ceremony, the kings of Eastern Chu rebelled, and the new dynasty fell into chaos!"

"Bold, you dare to threaten..."

"Come here, take this arrogant person away."

Immediately behind him, many people scolded them, and some soldiers stepped forward to detain them.

"Haha."

But Wang Kang said with a smile: "As expected of a celebrity who is well-known in Chu, this kind of talent and courage is really outstanding. Fengguo is too small for you to give full play to your talent. Are you interested in coming to me?" side?"

Wen Zhang was slightly taken aback, apparently he did not expect Wang Kang to mention it like this.

He bowed and said: "Thank you for your appreciation, Wen Zhang is a guest of Feng Wang's family, so he should focus on himself."

"I agree to your request."

Wang Kang said: "But you are wrong. It is not that I have no courage, nor do I have the financial resources to start a war. What I am doing is only ordinary people. There should be no more wars..."

This calm word made Wen Zhang's heart tremble, and he could sense that it was not a lie.

"However, I also have a condition."

Wang Kang said indifferently: "Within fifteen days from the enthronement ceremony, all the princes and kings of Eastern Chu will come to Shouchun to pay tribute. If anyone does not come within the time limit, then there is no need for his feudal kingdom to exist..."

Chapter 3.

The first thousand and 640 chapters bet!

The voice was extremely cold and full of meaning that could not be refused. m.

Wen Zhang was slightly taken aback. I am afraid that this condition cannot be easily agreed. Let those princes and kings come to Shouchun to scare them to death...

"Is this it?"

He opened his mouth and considered how to word it.

"What? There's a problem with that too?"

Wang Kang said calmly: "See you in the dynasties, is this normal?"

Wen Zhang was speechless, unable to find any loopholes in this regard.

Although the enfeoffment system gave the princes and kings great autonomy, they also had corresponding obligations.

The princes must obey the emperor's orders, guard the territory for the emperor, fight with his followers, pay tribute, and meet regularly...

Since Wang Kang has promised the vassal states to continue to exist and everything is as usual, it is also the duty of the vassal dynasties to meet the new king. This is a normal proposal...

"In terms of time, can we be generous? After all, the distances between the various princes are different?"

Wen Zhang thought for a while and said.

The [-]th day is indeed a bit tense, and it is likely that there is no time to react, and the details still need to be discussed, which may lead to uncertainty.

And that's what he's fighting for.

"Different from near and far?"

Wang Kang said indifferently: "The nine princes and kings of Eastern Chu are all in Fengguo now. How long did it take you to get here from Fengguo?"

As soon as this remark came out, the expressions of several envoys immediately changed, even Wen Zhang did the same.

Of course, it is impossible for things like the gathering of the Nine Kings to spread, especially when it is such a sensitive time.

What are you doing together when you have nothing to do?Are you ready to unite and fight?

What would Wang Kang think if he found out, and it is very likely that he would directly send troops to suppress them. This is entirely possible.

Therefore, the secrecy of the Nine Kings Gathering was done quite well, even the people in Feng Wangdu didn't know about it, but now Wang Kang knows about it.

"So, fifteen days is ample time!"

Wang Kang said calmly: "This is my condition. If you don't meet it, you will be responsible for the consequences!"

"I know that you are worried that when the princes and kings come to Shouchun, they will be taken over by me. To be honest, I will not do this. Doing such a thing just after you succeed to the throne will be very bad for your personal reputation, and it will also hurt your reputation." It caused dissatisfaction among the people of Eastern Chu, and chaos arose."

"You can rest assured that I will only resolve the Dongchu issue peacefully."

Wang Kang spread out his hands and said, "I've already handed over my account, so you can decide how to choose."

He looked at Wen Zhang again and said, "Actually, you don't have to put on a tough attitude. What did you say that if I don't allow negotiations, all the princes and kings of Eastern Chu will directly rise up tomorrow?"

"Do you believe it?"

Wen Zhang remained silent, these words were originally intended to be deceitful.

"The vassals and kings have never been monolithic. Some people may rise up, but definitely not all of them. You should understand this."

Wen Zhang was even more speechless.

He thought he had seen through Wang Kang's hole cards, but he didn't expect others to see through them far more thoroughly than him...

"I still say that, I am only for the people of Eastern Chu."

Wang Kang looked at Wen Zhang and said, "Do you dare to make a bet with me?"

"What bet?"

Wen Zhang didn't react for a while, even he himself didn't realize that his thought rhythm had already started to follow Wang Kang...

"As a famous person, you should understand how harmful the feudal system is, right? From the standpoint of the central court."

When he said this, Wang Kang motioned to drive the other envoys back.

"What... is this for?"
