"Come here, serve the wine."
This is Zhuang Yan's big account, so naturally he is in charge.
Zhuang Yan has nearly 60,000 soldiers and horses, almost all the troops that can be found in the entire Xunbai Province.
As the largest prince, he seems to have other plans.
Su Changying, Liu Xiyu and others sat down one after another and looked at each other, wondering why Zhuang Yan had asked everyone to come.
"The singing and dancing can begin."
Zhuang Yan said calmly.
In the military camp, slim women wearing black cloaks walked in one after another.
Under the candlelight, their beautiful faces were very moving.
It was unimaginable that there were dozens of high-quality women hidden in the march. beauties, but it seems that these beauties are just the concubines raised by Zhuang Yan.
The dancers raised their hands to untie the cloaks on their chests.
When the cloak fell to the ground, everyone's eyes lit up.
These dancers only wore close-fitting silk skirts, which outlined their graceful and graceful figures.
They were light and graceful.
Swaying gently, extremely beautiful.
"Everyone, how is my beautiful lady from Xunbai Xingsheng doing?"
Zhuang Yan suddenly asked.
Su Changying was startled and said with a smile: "It's very good.
Xunbai Xingsheng is really a good place with good mountains and rivers, so it is possible to raise it so beautifully."
Zhuang Yan picked up the wine glass and laughed loudly: "Come on, let's drink a full glass first."
No one dared to deny Zhuang Yan's face, and everyone raised their glasses.
After three rounds of wine, Zhuang Yan waved his hand, and the dancers immediately took their seats.
Almost every prince was surrounded by a dancer.
Zhuang Yan squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "I have wine today and I will get drunk today.
Sir, please Don’t waste the good times, hahaha” Liu Xiyu, the governor of Bailing City, frowned and said, "Master Zhuang Yan, I don't know why you called us here this time."
Zhuang Yan said: "It's nothing important.
I just invite you all to come to the banquet.
Why, does Liu Taishou think that I, Zhuang Yan, have something on my mind?
Hahahaha!"
Liu Xiyu clasped his fists: "No, Master Zhuang Yan, please don't worry too much."
"No, I do have something on my mind."
Zhuang Yan's voice suddenly became stern, and all the princes immediately looked over.
Zhuang Yan seemed to be a little drunk, he stood up tremblingly, holding a wine glass in his hand, and said: "We are all ministers of the empire, and we work hard for the diligent king.
All the troops present today have been raised by ten thousand people."
Above, we eked out an existence in our respective cities.
The enemy captured the city and killed the enemy soldiers, but so far there has been no reward.
Why did Wei Qiu, Xu Jiantao and others get promotions and meritorious services?
It was just because they were the direct descendants of King Qin Lin Muyu. , I, Zhuang Yan, am not worthy of all of you here."
Su Changying remained silent.
Liu Xiyu put down his wine glass, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face, and said: "That's right, they look down on our origins and think that we are just local tyrants.
The words of Zetian Palace are never in our hands.
Her Highness the Empress reuses them."
They are just people like Zeng Yifan, Su Yu, Lin Muyu, Feng Jixing, etc.
She is nepotistic, and foreign vassals like us will never have a chance. " "That's right" A strong man stood up.
He was a governor of Tianshu Province named Zhou Heng.

He had raised more than 20,000 troops.
His face was red at this time and he said angrily: "We also want to serve the empire, but why should we?"
But he is always beneath others.”
Zhuang Yan smiled faintly and said: "Yes, that's the truth.
If we each hand over our military power, I'm afraid we will soon become fish on the chopping board and be slaughtered by others.
Sirs, we must pay attention to our own future.
Think about your future.”
Su Changying squinted her eyes and asked with a smile: "So what do you think, Mr.
Zhuang Yan?"
Zhuang Yan laughed loudly, suddenly threw the wine glass to the ground, and said: "The world should be governed by everyone in the world, why should one person have the final say?"
Everyone was shocked.
Zhuang Yan's words were no different from treason.
Liu Xiyu frowned and said: "Master Zhuang Yan, please be careful what you say.
Her Royal Highness the Empress loves the world and has never done anything to harm the people.
If you say such things, if the three kings or Princess Xi hear you, I'm afraid it will I can’t eat and walk around.”
"Why, Mr.
Liu is afraid?"
Zhuang Yan smiled slightly, pointed to the door and said: "The door is there.
If Mr.
Liu is afraid, please let me go.
I, Zhuang Yan, will not leave any cowards under my banner."
Liu Xiyu gritted his teeth.
When he came in, he saw many guards outside the tent.
If he really went out, he might not have a chance to return to his tent.
Zhuang Yan was ruthless, but there was nothing he couldn't do. .
"I'm not afraid, just worried."
Liu Xiyu said.
"Don't worry."
Zhuang Yan said: "As long as we all the princes stick together tightly, there is nothing they can do."
"right" "right" Everyone agreed.
Su Changying said: "Then what does Mr.
Zhuang Yan want to do?"
Zhuang Yan said: "Don't Her Majesty the Empress want 20% of our troops?
Then give it to him.
After your lords return to the camp, extract the old, weak, sick and disabled from our army and hand them all over to the Imperial War Department.
These old and weak people were originally used for military purposes."
It doesn’t matter if you come to make up the numbers.
In addition, please gather your lords’ garrison around our army of princes in Xunbai Province, so as not to be defeated one by one.”
"Yeah, that makes sense."
Zhuang Yan narrowed his eyes and said, "In addition, we also have to submit a joint memorial."
"Oh, what are you going to do?"
Su Changying was stunned.
"Reduce power.
For the sake of the stability of the people of the empire, power must be reduced."
"Whose power is being reduced?"

"Three Kings, Four Dukes, and Five Marquises" "" Everyone was silent.
The three kings, four princes, and five princes were all important ministers of the empire.
Except for Yaoyuan, the Marquis of Jinghai, and Luo Xin, the Duke of the North Kingdom, who had died in the battle, the rest of them had made numerous meritorious deeds.
It would be difficult to reduce their power.
Not easy.
Zhuang Yan seemed to see everyone's doubts, so he smiled and said: "I know, you adults think this is difficult, but in fact it is not that difficult.
All we need to do is submit a petition.
The decision requires Her Majesty the Empress to do so.
All we need to do is Just put on a show, only by reducing the power of the three kings can all of us get ahead, right?"
"yes" Everyone nodded in unison.
Liu Xiyu frowned and said: "If we rashly report this, I'm afraid it will be no different from treason.
After all, Her Highness the Empress is a god-level cultivator.
With Lin Muyu, Feng Jixing and others, how can we mortals face their sudden power?"
"So, we need someone who can make Her Highness the Empress feel afraid, and who can also control Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing."
Zhou Heng said with a slight smile.
"oh"
Zhuang Yan was stunned: "There is such a person in the world, Mr.
Zhou Heng, who is it?"
"If I invite this person, I will definitely be able to save the situation."
"Who is it?"
"Qingrong, I'll give it a try, hahaha, just wait and see."
Zhou Heng was very proud and said: "Our Tianshu province is rich in resources, hidden dragons and crouching tigers, which will definitely open your eyes to the world."
Seven days later, the Imperial Military Department garrisoned the barracks.
In the early morning, a column of cavalry shuttled into the camp.
It was Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing who came with a group of guards to select new recruits.
This was Qin Yin's promise to them, allowing the Gendan Camp and the Forbidden Army to prioritize strengthening their troops.
The princes outside the city The 20% of the troops contributed is already 130,000, which should be enough.
However, when Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing entered the school grounds, their faces were ashen.
There were densely packed recruits on the school grounds, but their clothes were disheveled.
Almost all of them were veterans.
Many of them were even disabled and could not even hold an iron spear.
"What's going on?"
Wei Qiu frowned: "Their average age is enough to be my father."
Feng Jixing sneered and said: "You know, these princes are not so kind as to hand over their elite troops.
They are just coping.
They should have been killed in Zetian Palace."
"If you kill them, it will be difficult for Xiao Yin, the empress, to survive."
Lin Muyu curled her lips.
"Then what do you think we should do now?"
Feng Jixing was a little impatient.
"It seems that the princes have begun to form an alliance.
They started to move their camps a few days ago.
Now they are all in the south area of Lanyan City.
There are a total of 600,700,000 people.
The amount of military rations supplied to them every day is not a small number.

If this continues, I'm afraid Lanyan City will be completely eaten up by them within half a year."
"Ayu, what should we do?"
Feng Jixing asked: "We can't always be so passive and helpless."
"We have no soldiers now, and we can't use force against them.
After all, they are all members of the empire.
Once we use force, I'm afraid we will lose people's hearts."
Lin Muyu muttered: "Let's think of a way to capture the thief first, and find the king first."
If we have the opportunity to kill all the princes and kings, their armies will naturally belong to us."
"What kind of opportunity?"
"A banquet, Brother Feng, you can host a banquet in your own mansion to entertain the princes and kings."
Feng Jixing rolled his eyes at him: "You guys are entertaining me.
Where did I come from?
After returning to Lanyan City, I have been eating and drinking in the Forbidden Army camp.
It's not that you don't know, but in your mansion It’s better to have a banquet.”
Lin Muyu glared at him: "Don't you think I have a mansion?
Have you forgotten that I also ate and drank at Xiao Yin's place for seven or eight days?"
"What should I do?"
"Let Mr.
Fan invite you.
The Shenhou Mansion is quite a big place."
"That's okay, let's go discuss it with Mr.
Fan."
"Um" Zeng Yifan, who was drinking morning tea, suddenly sneezed.
"What's wrong, Dad?"
Zeng Fang asked.
Zeng Yifan rubbed his nose and said, "I always feel like something bad is coming."
"Oh, what could it be?"
The voice of the guard came from outside the door: "Mr.
Fan, His Highness King Qin, His Highness King Xin, and Duke Wei are here."
"Sure enough, something bad is coming."
Zeng Yifan narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "These people are definitely not up to anything good when they come here."
Zengfang: "" Ten minutes later, Zeng Yifan's face turned pale after listening to Lin Muyu's words.
"Mr.
Fan, please make decisions with great benevolence and justice."
Lin Muyu said: "Brother Feng and I don't have a decent place to live in Lanyan City.
Your Shenhou Mansion is so spacious, and with your reputation, you are not afraid that the princes will not come."
Zeng Yifan took a deep breath: "When will the banquet be held?"
"Three days later."
"Okay then" Zeng Yifan raised his head and glanced at Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing and said, "Does His Highness Yin know about this?"
"have no idea."
"How dare you two do it."
"Fan Gong is so complimentary":
