Chapter 150 Chu Chennan's Conditions

"The first road, Chen Nan said that over the years, the powerful and powerful in the court have been constantly exploiting the people, so that people's livelihood has withered, and many people cannot even have enough food. This is not what the wise ruler does."

Liang Yuchen suddenly smiled playfully: "So he asked the royal family and the court to distribute all the money and food that had been levied and levyed for thirty years to the civilians. As long as he could do this, he would take action against the ghost army."

"What, send money and food to those untouchables?"

Some ministers suddenly jumped up: "This is absolutely impossible. Who would be willing to hand over the money you got?"

"The young master said that we were slandering the slaughter of excessive taxes. Over the years, we have worked hard to serve the court. We have never collected one or two black money, and we have received a decent salary from the court."

"Yes, we will never agree to such conditions!"

The ministers all opposed it excitedly.

Generally speaking, when the country declines, there will be cases where the court is indifferent to the government and exploiting the people with various harsh donations and miscellaneous taxes.

Not only the court officials, but also many royal families in recent years, including Huo Yun Yanqing, have exploited huge benefits from the people.

Human nature is greedy. Since you have eaten your stomach, how can you let them vomit?

Zhao Chiyun curled his lips and mocked: "What, did you say just now that you can fight all the last child of the family for the sake of the court, but now you don't even want to pay any money. You are turning against each other too quickly, right?"

Another elder sneered: "Brother Chiyun, I just talk casually and show my loyalty to you. After all, I don't have to really fight hard to say it. How can you take it seriously?"

"Oh, it turns out I misunderstood!"

Zhao Chiyun seemed to have really understood: "Everyone, it was Zhao who misunderstood. I thought you were really loyal to the Lord. It turned out that it was just a saying. Sorry, sorry, it made you embarrassed."

Everyone's faces were like purple eggplant, and they looked at Huo Yunyan's celebrating.

Huo Yunyanqing had no expression on his face, as if he had heard nothing.

"Haha, it seems that the first path is not going to be done."

Liang Yuchen was not surprised: "Then let's talk about the second one. Master, Chen Nan said that if you don't agree to distribute money and grain, then give him the land of the Jidao Wuzong within a radius of 100,000 miles."

"This is simple. When I go back, I will write an order to tell the world that I will give the land around Wuzong 100,000...no, 300,000 miles of land to the young sect leader."

Huo Yun Yanqing agreed immediately.

"Wait, this sect hasn't finished speaking yet."

Liang Yuchen continued without any haste: "In addition to the fiefdom, Chen Nan also hopes that the emperor can hand over the orders of the princes to him as a token of guaranteeing his promise."

"What, the princes' order?"

Huo Yunyanqing was so shocked that he almost jumped up: "Sect Master Liang, what does Sect Master Chu mean? He actually wants the order of princes. Are you planning to rebel?"

Not only him, Huo Yun Wushuang, the Prime Minister, and all the ministers next to him were all full of horror.

Because Chu Chennan's condition is really hard to accept.

What is the order of princes?

That is the foundation of the establishment of a vassal state and also represents the recognition of the royal family by the sect leader.

On this southern territory, if all vassal states want to establish a country, they must receive the vassal orders given by the Lieyang Empire. If not, even if you forcibly establish a country, you will be destroyed by the Lieyang Empire.

So Chu Chennan asked for the orders of princes in fact, it was actually equivalent to letting Huo Yun Yanqing hand over the entire Huo Yun Kingdom. How could he agree to such a thing?

"Rebellion? Haha, the Lord has misunderstood."

Liang Yuchen smiled faintly and said, "Chen Nan just doesn't believe in the credibility of the royal family. What if you turn against each other after he defeated the Ghost Army? So he wants something valuable to keep it in his hands to prevent you from robbing the debt."

"The precious things may not necessarily require the orders of princes, right?"

Huo Yun Wushuang frowned: "In my opinion, please ask the young master to choose something else. It is absolutely impossible for the princes to order it."

"This matter is not discussed. Chen Nan will not take action unless the orders of the princes are handed over."

Liang Yuchen stood up and said, "You have figured out clearly whether life is important or a token is important. That's all, Elder Zhao, see off the guests!"

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Zhao Chiyun stood up and said coldly: "Everyone, please!"

Are you going to drive them away like this?

Huo Yun Yanqing and others had a gloomy face, but they didn't dare to say anything, so they could only get up and leave.

On the way back.

The father and daughter ride in the same chariot.

"Father, what should we do now?"

Huo Yun Wushuang looked irritated, she didn't expect things to turn out like this.

Huo Yun Yanqing did not answer, but asked, "Wu Shuang, what are you thinking about now when you say the Prime Minister and those ministers?"

"They should also be wondering if there is any other way to ask Chu Chennan to take action?"

"Isn't it just right?"

"Father, what you mean is..."

Huo Yun Wushuang understood, so she widened her eyes in surprise.

"You guessed it right. They must be thinking about how to persuade me to hand over the orders of princes."

"This...is impossible?"

"What's impossible? Chu Chennan has already given a choice, either sending money to spread grain or handing over the orders of princes. What do you think they will choose?"

Huo Yun Yanqing sneered: "Don't look at the ministers who usually bow down in front of me, but they are actually hungry wolves and are insatiable. It would be better to kill them if they let them distribute money and food to the untouchables, but the orders of princes are different."

"Anyway, the monarch of Huoyun Kingdom is not them, and even if they hand over the orders of princes, they won't feel sorry for them. In their opinion, the result of the matter is at most just a change of the monarch. How much loss can they have?"

Huo Yun Yanqing gritted his teeth: "But on the other hand, if you use a prince order to exchange Chu Chennan for his attack, you can repel the ghost army and save their family property. Why not do it?"

"Is this really going to happen?"

Huo Yun Wushuang's face turned pale: "Father, do you think they will secretly conspire and unite to force you to hand over the orders of princes?"

"Not in a short period of time, but once the ghost army approaches the capital, I can't guarantee what those ministers will do."

Huo Yun Yanqing looked serious: "So Wushuang, now you must set off to the ancient sword kingdom immediately. No matter what the price you pay, you must let Dongfang Mingxin and Ximen Ye agree to send troops to support us."

"Will they agree?"

"I don't know, but this is the only way. Otherwise, would you really want your father to hand over the orders of princes?"

Huo Yun Wushuang doesn’t know what to say.

Although she was unwilling to be a royal family and just handed over the orders of princes, to be honest, she really had no confidence in whether she could send troops to Dongfang Mingxin and Ximenye.

"If I had known today, I should have treated Chu Chennan sincerely. For the sake of my friends, he would definitely help and would not put forward such harsh conditions."

Huo Yun Wushuang felt very regretful.

She shook her head: "Father, have you ever thought about what we should do if Dongfang Mingxin and others do not agree to send troops? Should we just stay in the capital and wait for death?"

"Of course it is impossible. If there are really no reinforcements, the father will escape with the entire royal family and property. After all, as long as our family is still there and the princes are still there, even if the country is destroyed now, one day in the future, we can still restore the country and always step on the heads of those untouchables."
