Huanwang Palace.

King Huan was facing many problems now, which made him inexplicably irritable.

On the one hand, the emperor's edict naturally made him angry, but he could only complain a little.

What's more important is the matter of Anguo.

During the war in the Central Plains, Yu Anmin proclaimed himself king in Anyang. He was self-reliant, and in order to protect himself, he immediately surrendered to King Huan on the advice of his adviser Jiang Xing.

That is, a vassal state of King Huan.

Now, the imperial court has issued an edict from the Emperor to remove Yu Anmin from the throne and make him plead guilty.

In this matter, there is no doubt that Yu Anmin will come to King Huan for asylum and help.

Before he came, King Huan also discussed this matter with a group of ministers.

A minister said: "Since Yu Anmin takes the king as the leader, the king will have to deal with this matter both emotionally and rationally."

Some people also said: "But once this happens, it will be a blatant rebellion, and what will follow will inevitably be a rebellion edict from the imperial court. At that time, if there is another alliance between the princes, they will jointly attack An and use Anyang as a place."

, how to resist?”

"When things get to that point, there will be no way out. If Yu Anmin asks the king again, it will not be a question of title, but a question of war."

What the minister said is not unreasonable. This kind of thing is very likely to happen.

After hearing this, King Huan frowned and couldn't help but said: "In the past, the emperor would not care about this, but now that King Qin is here, it has an effect! It's really hateful!"

Qiu Rong pondered for a moment, then stepped out and said: "Your Majesty, the issue of Ruyang and Dingzhou has not been resolved between us and Liang State. It would be unwise to offend the emperor again at this time."

"Moreover, the two kings of Qin and Liang are both warlike. If Yu Anmin's incident is judged as treason, they will drag our country, Huan, into trouble!"

"Furthermore, Yu Anmin did indeed establish himself as king at the beginning. It is unrealistic for him to become king just based on Anyang. I'm afraid many of the kings in the world would find him disapproving."

"The Prime Minister is saying that all the kings of the countries are actually dissatisfied?" King Huan asked in a solemn voice.

"Yes." Qiu Rong said: "Just like the King of Qin back then, even if he was granted a title by the emperor, he was almost not recognized. He still had to fight a battle at Shanyuguan before he could become king."

"If the monarchs of the world want to recognize each other's identities, they need legitimacy and their own strength."

He was right. If it weren't for Huan Guo, Yu Anmin would have been destroyed long ago!

At this time, the general trend of the world has been established. After the fall of Yan and Jin, the seven kingdoms are already fighting for hegemony. It would be unwise for King Huan to dare to wade into this muddy water.

Seeing him frowning and thinking, Qiu Rong said again: "Yu Anmin's King An has always been a hidden danger, a hidden danger that is not recognized by other countries. This time, the king, it is better to take this opportunity to let him abdicate. Anyway, he should pay tribute every year

Yes, you still have to pay tribute, whether you are a prince or not, it doesn't matter to us."

"Well..." This was finally to the point. After thinking for a while, King Huan nodded slowly.

It is obviously unrealistic for him to offend the imperial court for Yu Anmin with his corrupt and selfish character.

And after this court meeting, within two days, Yu Anmin hurried over from Anyang and began to seek an audience with King Huan.

In the palace study, when he saw King Huan, he first knelt down and saluted, and then said sadly:

"Your Majesty, the emperor wanted to remove me from the throne for no reason. This time, you must make the decision for me..."

He is also the self-proclaimed King An, but when facing King Huan, he is more like a pug facing its master, wagging its tail and begging for mercy.

When King Huan saw this, he frowned slightly and said, "You get up first."

"Yes, yes." Yu Anmin responded repeatedly, then stood up and stood below, bending slightly.

What kind of king is this?

But he still wants this title.

But the more this happened, the more King Huan took control of him, and the more he looked down on him.

"How do you want me to make decisions for you?"

"This..." Yu Anmin hesitated for a moment and said: "The land under the jurisdiction of the little king is a vassal state of the king. If the throne is removed, the king's face will not look good."

When he mentioned this, he thought that King Huan would take his face into consideration.

Unexpectedly, he shook his head slightly and asked an unexpected question: "Yu Anmin, I ask you, how many soldiers are there in Anmin?"

"Eight...about eighty thousand..." Yu Anmin returned truthfully.

"Where is the land under Anguo's jurisdiction?"

"A radius of more than three hundred and forty miles."

"With more than 300 miles of land and 80,000 troops, can they resist the tiger and wolf troops of Qin?" King Huan asked again.

"This, isn't this still protected by the king?" Yu Anmin said hurriedly.

"Yes, I can protect you, but what follows is that the king of the world will also accuse you of treason. When the time comes, there will be a war between several countries, and millions of armies will confront each other. Even if I

If I want to protect you again, I'm afraid I'm powerless." King Huan said seriously.

"But this... but this..."

Yu Anmin's face was full of anxiety, and he wanted to say something else.

But King Huan had already interrupted him and said: "Listen to my advice and abdicate, so as not to cause military disaster. Anguo cannot afford it."

As he spoke, he also let out a long sigh: "Well, I don't want to see you resign from the throne, but the situation forces me to do so, and there is no other way. Don't worry, from now on, you will continue to be your Anyang Marquis, Huan Guo

I will always protect you."

What he said made others abdicate and protect others.

After hearing this, Yu Anmin cursed secretly in his heart, but on the outside, he dared not be so arrogant, so he could only keep a shy face and continue to be respectful.

After leaving the study, his face became gloomy.

In the past, when he did not sit on the throne, he did not say anything, but now, it is undoubtedly unacceptable for him to take off his royal clothes and crown.

Back in Anyang, Yu Anmin continued to curse King Huan in front of the dog-headed military advisor Jiang Xing.

Seeing this, the latter grinned secretly and said: "Your Majesty, I have already told you about this matter. King Huan will definitely not dare to take care of it. Alas, the Marquis of Anyang will be the Marquis of Anyang."

"But how can I, the king, be so willing?" Yu Anmin said with eyes wide open.

Jiang Xing advised: "For the long-term plan, your Majesty can only abdicate temporarily to avoid the immediate danger. As long as we still have room for success, we can develop and grow."

The development he talks about is not to manage civil affairs and do a good job in military affairs, but to exploit the people and do everything possible to make money. If you have money, you can recruit more troops.

But the combat capability of these soldiers can be imagined.

Yu Anmin, on the other hand, calmed down for a while, then took a deep breath and asked gloomily: "How is the connection with the ghost clan?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, everything is going on as scheduled. Both parties are happy to cooperate. The next batch of salt and iron will be prepared soon..."

You know, the Ghost Clan borders Anyang, where Xiao Yuan served as the Liucheng Colonel.

In that era, the ghost tribe did not have iron smelting technology, and all the iron needed to make war swords had to be purchased from the Central Plains.

But due to the alien invasion, this is a ban!
