Chapter 83 of the final volume The lobby was silent, and people were staring at Xiao Xiang.
None of Xiao Yuan and the princes thought that Xiao Xiang would be so vicious, setting up a fake banquet and cutting military power is true.
Even the generals on the opposite side were secretly grinning, they didn't know anything about this matter in advance, and Xiao Xiang didn't reveal the slightest rumor to them, they all felt strange, how could a good princess think of banqueting the princes, it turned out to be to seize military power.
The first to break the silence was Xiao Xiang.
Seeing that everyone below didn't speak, Xiao Xiang was still dangling his chopsticks, knocking on the severed head in front of him for a while, and said slowly: "Hong Yuetian is really a stupid man, living to his age, it is already a beautiful thing to be able to enjoy all the glory and wealth, take care of the heavens, and have children and grandchildren, but he just wants to chase fame and fortune, and now he has lost his life, even if he gets great fame and fortune, how can he have a life to fight for, and no life to enjoy, this is not a sad and lamentable."
Her words, like knives, stuck in the hearts of every prince present.
Everyone knew that Xiao Xiang's words were meant for herself, and the bodies of people sitting on the mat shook involuntarily.
Xiao Yi sighed in his heart, sniffed hard, then stood up with red circles, walked around the table, walked to Xiao Xiang, knelt down and kowtowed, and said: "Since it is Her Royal Highness the princess who condescends to beg, the old minister does not dare to disobey, and the old minister and the old minister are willing to dedicate the 80,000 soldiers under his command to the court and return to the court" In the end, the old man really couldn't speak, fell to the ground, and choked in a low voice.
If it is said that asking them to give their family wealth is tantamount to cutting meat, then letting them hand over their military power is like digging out their hearts and livers.
When Xiao Xiang heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up, the chopsticks in her hand fell out of her hand, and she subconsciously owed forward, her eyes looked directly at Xiao Yi who was lying on the ground, and after a long time, she returned to normal, her body slowly leaned back, and she changed back to sitting with her chest upright.
With Xiao Yi taking the lead, Xiao Yong, another Xiao clan relative Wuguan Marquis, walked to Xiao Yi's side, also knelt down, and said in a trembling voice: "Weichen is also willing to hand over the 60,000 soldiers under his command to the imperial court."
For the princes, it is true that the army in their hands is their lifeline, but after all, it is not their life, and when their lives are at stake, if they want to choose between them, they can only choose to save their lives and give up the military power in their hands.
As Xiao Yi and Xiao Yong stood up and took a stand, the other princes also left the table one after another, expressing their willingness to accept Xiao Xiang's orders and hand over their military power.
Watching the princes compromise with Xiao Xiang one after another, Xiao Yuan on the side was completely dumbfounded, he never dreamed that this banquet would evolve into such a result.
The reason why the princes can become the most important bargaining chip in his hands is entirely because of the family army that the princes control, and now that the princes have handed over all their military power to the imperial court, the princes have become useless, and they are not even as good as the ministers in the court.
He sat there dumbfounded, unable to recover for a long time.
This is the terrible thing about Xiao Xiang, killing people without seeing blood, just talking and laughing, and then took the most important chip in Xiao Yuan's hand.
Seeing a group of princes kneeling down below, Xiao Xiang got up with a smile, bypassed the table, came to the princes, helped everyone up one by one, and said movingly: "You marquis are worthy of being the pillars of my Dachuan, when my Sichuan country is in danger, so much help, this palace is really grateful, and all the marquis also please accept this palace" While speaking, Xiao Xiang took two steps back, arched his hand, and respectfully bowed to the princes.
She is now grateful to the princes in her heart, if they refuse to hand over the military power, Xiao Xiang has no choice but to kill, really to that point, Sichuan does not know how much blood will be shed, what kind of chaos will become, and when she sits on the throne, she will definitely be labeled as a tyrant and a demon girl.
But now, the princes took the initiative to hand over their military power, and this problem that had plagued the Sichuan Kingdom for hundreds of years was finally solved, and instead of being scolded as a tyrant, he would become a holy monarch who was praised by later generations.
Seeing Xiao Xiang saluting him, the princes were all startled, and everyone who had just stood up knelt back on the ground and exclaimed, "Her Royal Highness the princess killed Weichen" Xiao Xiang straightened up, stretched out his hand with a smile, and said with a smile: "Please also ask the marquis to hand over the talismans."
She used the first salute and the first salute and then the soldier together, and her mind was meticulous and weird, which was difficult to understand.
The princes looked at each other, and after a long while, the people reached into their arms and carefully took out their talismans.
Each of them had a very precious talisman, like a treasure, some were wrapped in red silk, some were wrapped in yellow silk, and the princes all opened the silk wrapped in the outside of the talisman with trembling fingers, held it with both hands, and handed it to Xiao Xiang tremblingly.
Most of the soldiers' talismans are made of bronze, and they are carved with various fierce beasts and auspicious beasts, and they are also branded with the coats of arms of various families.
Twelve princes, twelve talismans, Xiao Xiang couldn't catch it if she wanted to, she turned her head sideways and glanced at the personal guards on the left and right.
The guards understood, and one by one they picked up the trays that had been prepared and stepped forward, and put the talismans in the hands of the princes on the trays one by one.
With these talismans, it is equivalent to having the command of the family army.
Xiao Xiang looked around at the talisman placed on the tray, nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and walked back to his seat, and said in a loud voice: "Since you have to serve as labor, ordnance and armament are useless, and they should be kept in the treasury.
As she spoke, she looked at the generals on the other side and said, "Zhang Situ listens to orders."
"The last general" Zhang Situ's body was shocked, and he hurriedly stepped out of the queue and intervened to give a salute.
Xiao Xiang took out two talismans from the tray and said in a deep voice: "General Zhang, you lead your troops and horses to immediately go to the garrison of the two armies of Changshan Marquis and Wuguan Marquis, take over the ordnance and armament of the two armies, and take care of the sleeping and eating of the brothers of the two armies, understand?"
"Yes, the last general understands" to take over ordnance and armaments, to put it bluntly, it is to disarm and take care of the dormitory and food, to put it bluntly, it is house arrest, Zhang Situ of course understood what Xiao Xiang meant, and he asked uncertainly: "Your Royal Highness the princess, now?"
"Yes, right now, go immediately," Xiao Xiang said categorically.
"The last general obeys the order" Zhang Situ stepped forward, took the two talismans handed to him by Xiao Xiang, turned around and walked out quickly.
"Bu Ying listens to the order" Xiao Xiang's gaze turned and looked at Bu Ying again.
"The last general" Bu Ying strode out of the skirt.
Xiao Xiang picked up the three talismans again, and said: "General Buying, your department will receive the soldiers and horses of the Marquis of Chishan, the Marquis of Qingyun, and the Marquis of Dongyuan, just like General Zhang, you must take a clear inventory of the ordnance and armament of the three armies, and properly place the brothers of the three armies.
"Don't worry, the princess, the last general must go all out" Bu Ying took the three talismans handed to him by Xiao Xiang and strode out of the hall.
Then, Xiao Xiang successively ordered Yang Zhao, Lu You, and the three generals of Lai, and handed over the remaining talismans to the three of them.
In the course of this meeting, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses under the command of the princes of the Twelve Roads were apportioned by Xiao Xiang, and all of them were controlled by the Central Army.
With such a skill, such a vigorous and resolute action, and such a shrewd calculation, I am afraid that even a man may not be able to compare with Xiao Xiang.
After handling the matter of the family army properly, Xiao Xiang was also relieved, like a boulder pressed on his heart was removed, the whole person looked much more relaxed, and the smile on his face was no longer hypocritical, but from the heart, and it looked very bright.
The princes of Sichuan are far more than them, and the family armies in various places together are far more than hundreds of thousands, otherwise, the family army will not be able to become a big problem in Sichuan and a heart disease of the kings of the past dynasties, however, Hong Yuetian and these twelve princes can definitely be regarded as the leaders of all the princes of Sichuan, and if they cut off the military power in their hands, the other small princes would not have to worry about it, and they could only be slaughtered by the imperial court.
The problems that the previous kings of the Lie Dynasty did not solve were solved in Xiao Xiang's hands, and she would naturally be proud and complacent, which is human nature.

Xiao Xiang waved his hand to the princes again and again, and greeted with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, please sit down, today, this palace is going to get drunk with you."
She is now complacent, but the mood of the princes can only be described as dead ashes, where can people still drink, one by one is like frosted eggplants, all wilted.
Seeing that everyone was depressed, the corners of Xiao Xiang's mouth slowly raised, picked up the wine glass, stood up violently, and shouted loudly outside: "The river is majestic, and the national fortune is long-lasting."
With her shouting, thousands of soldiers standing outside the lobby shouted in unison: "Chuanchuan Chuan" The deafening shout made all the princes present tremble, their legs turned tendons, people no longer dared to pretend to be deaf and dumb, they raised their wine glasses one after another, and said in unison: "Weichen respects Her Royal Highness the Princess" "Hehe, haha" Xiao Xiang first chuckled, and soon turned into a laugh on his back, raised his glass, and drank the wine in it in one gulp, that heroic demeanor was dazzling, but it was a pity that everyone present was not in the mood to appreciate Xiao Xiang's beauty, but sincerely felt that she was terrible, and people's hearts were also full of gloom.
After the banquet was over, Xiao Xiang still refused to let the princes leave, but on the pretext that they were too drunk and afraid that there would be an accident on the road, he left all the princes in the princess's mansion and let them live in the princess's mansion tonight.
Now is the critical moment for the Central Army to take over the family army, of course she will not put the princes back immediately, in case the princes regret it, it will be troublesome if something happens, at least until the Central Army has taken over all the family army, and then she can let the princes leave.
Xiao Xiang's careful calculation was only fully revealed at this time.
For Xiao Yuan, she didn't keep it, and personally sent Xiao Yuan out of the princess's mansion, her enthusiasm and reluctant gesture seemed to be how deep her relationship with Xiao Yuan was
