Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 756 Dispute

A grand ceremony to worship heaven was held in Danhan Mountain.

Although Tuoba Shi Yijian did not unify the entire grassland like Tanshihuai, he was at least the co-owner of the grassland in name.

"It has been nearly thirty years since I came to the throne at the age of seventeen. Our country has a territory of thousands of miles and hundreds of thousands of people who control the strings. The only regret in my life is that the land of Longxing in Yundai was occupied by Liang thieves!"

Compared with previous years, Tuoba Shi Yijian became more and more obese.

She has been lying on a soft couch all year round, with two maids supporting her every move.

All the powerful chiefs present turned their attention to Tuoba Shi Yijian.

"As the saying goes, if the name is not right, the words will not be right. How can I be under the Liang bandits when I rule the desert grassland? I am now the emperor, with the intention of strengthening the people of the country and taking control of the Central Plains!"

Tuoba Shi Yijian's plump and pale face glowed with red.

The Tuoba family has been eyeing the Central Plains since his father Tuoba Yulu. However, the Tuoba family has been in constant civil strife, and the talented and resourceful Tuoba Yulu has not been able to escape the murderous hands of the woman. As a result, there has never been a chance to send troops. When the civil strife subsides, , the overall situation of the Central Plains has been decided. Jie Zhao, Ran Wei, Yan State, and Liang State have risen successively, and they have been tyrannical for a while. Dai State has been repeatedly frustrated when it goes south.

"In our grassland, the Great Chanyu has always been respected. It is inappropriate for His Highness to use the title of a Central Plains person."

Just as the atmosphere was getting warmer, Tuoba Jin poured a basin of cold water down.

Moreover, this basin of cold water has been approved by many people, "Yes, Liang Guo has killed so many of us and is sworn in with us. How can we use their honorary title?"

"We are grassland people, and we have been known as Shanyu for generations."

Although Dai Guo established a country, there were too many tribes and the internal affairs were still relatively loose. Tuoba and Shi Yijian were not as consistent as Li Yue.

Tuoba Jin didn't really care about the title of "Emperor" or "Chanyu", but he was unhappy.

At that time, all the tribes recommended his father Tuoba Gu to be the king, but Tuoba Gu resolutely gave way to Tuoba Shi Yijian, who was still Jie Zhao's hostage at that time.

After Tuoba Shi Yijian came to the throne, he was extremely grateful to Tuoba Gu, named him Lord of the North, and promised to give him half of the land and tribes.

After Tuoba Gu's death, Tuoba Shi Yijian took back everything. Tuoba Jin even lost his position as Northern Master and became a slightly larger tribal leader. How could he swallow this bad breath?

"The purpose of becoming emperor is to invade the Central Plains in the future." Tuoba Shi Yijian said with a pleasant look.

"May I ask Your Highness, have you ever recovered an inch of land in so many years?" Tuoba Jin refused to give up.

The conflict between the two sides has already intensified.

Tuoba Gu gained great fame when he abdicated the throne and had many supporters, so Tuoba Jin dared to fall out with Tuoba Shi Yijian.

"Bold!" Tuoba Shi Yijian lost his temper.

"Nephew Li is just telling the truth, no offense intended!" Tuoba Jin apologized, but there was no sign of surrender in his expression.

"Your Highness, please don't blame me. He was not wrong."

Immediately, six powerful chiefs stood on Tuobajin's side.

"His Royal Highness is a Shanyu in the grasslands, and an emperor in the Central Plains. There is no conflict between the two, it's just their titles." At the critical moment, it was Yanfeng who came to the rescue.

Tuoba Shi Yijian became emperor actually to take care of these Central Plains scholars and powerful people.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I lifted my feet, I encountered such great resistance.

Tuoba Shi Yijian rolled his eyes and said, "The emperor is no different from the Chanyu. Tuoba Jin obeys orders, is granted the title of Assistant Prime Minister, and is in charge of the common government of the country."

Everyone looked at Tuoba Jin with all their eyes.

This is far from what he wants. There is not much common government in the grassland. Each grassland is inhabited by water and grass. He cannot control the common government of the Central Plains people.

"Huh?" Tuoba Shi Yijian's eyes turned cold.

"My nephew takes the order."

His arms couldn't hold his thighs, and he openly resisted orders. Tuoba Shi Yijian had many ways to deal with him.

"Yanfeng obeyed the order and was promoted to Xingtai Shangshu."

"I accept the order." Daiguo lived in the water and grass and had no capital, so he used Xingtai as his court. The real power in the hands of Xingtai Shangshu was far greater than that of an assistant prime minister.

When one person attains the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven.

Tuoba Shi Yijian conferred the title of emperor on himself, and naturally he also granted the title of ministers. All the powerful chiefs, big and small, were granted the title of duke. Everyone was very happy for a while.

Afterwards, they burned firewood to complain to heaven, slaughtered cattle and sheep, and feasted on the soldiers.

But when everyone was in high spirits, only Lord Tuoba Shi was unhappy.

It was supposed that after he ascended the throne and became emperor, he should be promoted to prince at the same time, but he was not mentioned at all.

"Your Majesty may have the intention of abolishing the crown prince. Your Highness must be on guard against this!" Yang Lue was dressed as a scholar. He even had three long beards and wore a wide robe and ceremonial belt. He looked like a distinguished scholar.

"Prevention? How to prevent it?" Tuoba Shijun looked at Tuoba Shi Yijian and Tuoba Han who were drinking, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

Yang Lue's eyes flickered, "Of course we are competing for favor. We cannot be alienated from His Majesty."

"Are you blind? Now it's him who is estranged from me, not me who is estranged from him!" Tuoba Shijun became angrier as he spoke.

"Your Highness and Your Majesty are father and son after all. Blood is thicker than water. As long as Your Highness admits his mistake, Your Majesty will change his mind."

Although he was admonishing, he kept inciting Lord Tuoba Shi's anger.

"Bah!" Tuoba Jun kicked Yang Lue in the stomach and kicked him out. "I, Tuoba Jun, have never bowed my head to anyone since I was born!"

Yang Lue got up from the ground, with a flattering look on his face, "Your Highness is wise and mighty, but this subordinate made a mistake."

"You are from the Central Plains and don't understand our grassland customs. This matter is not something that can be overcome by just bowing your head. It's a matter of life and death!" Tuoba Jin walked over with a smile, carrying two jars of wine.

When he saw that he was his cousin, Tuoba Shijun's anger dissipated a lot.

"If Tuoba Han succeeds to the throne, there will be no place for you in this grassland from now on!" Tuoba Jin narrowed his eyes.

There was no subtlety in his words.

"Then what do you think we should do?" Tuoba Shijun's eyes became more determined.

"There is a famous saying in the Central Plains: if you continue to break, you will suffer chaos." Tuoba Jin looked sideways at Yang Lue.

"You must not get angry. Your Highness is the son and your Majesty is the king. How can we follow the old story of Maodun?" Yang Lue waved his hands repeatedly.

Not to mention it was okay, but once he did, both of them's eyes lit up.

Not only is Modu not a disgrace on the grassland, he is also a hero respected by countless people.

Yang Lue's words were simply a reminder to the two of them that if they wanted to achieve the hegemony of Maodun, what couldn't they do?

There are not as many etiquettes on the grasslands as there are in the Central Plains.

"Hahaha, you are a poor Confucian scholar, but you are of some use!" Tuoba Shijun turned his anger into joy, "Yes, Mao Dun can do it, why can't I, Tuoba Shijun, do it?"

"Your Highness will be a great leader in the future, and I will help you with all your strength!" This is what Tuoba Jin was waiting for.

The two hit it off.

"Qiongsu, what do you think?" Tuoba Shijun stared at Yang Lue.

Since he heard about such a big thing, he definitely couldn't let it go.

Killing a Confucian scholar with no foundation is no different from killing a dog.

Yang Lue had a look of horror on his face, even his tongue was tied, "You, you, wait... desire..."

There was a "clang" sound, but it was Tuoba Jin who pulled out the knife first while chatting and laughing, "Your Excellency, it's better to stop pretending. Are you from Yanfeng or Tuoba Han?"
