My uncles are all big guys
Chapter 349: Shooting the first bird
"Your Majesty, are you threatening us?"
The princes did not look at Xiao Kun anymore, but asked Wang Xiao angrily.
Wang Xiao handed the cup with no tea in his hand to the maid behind him, then picked up a document on the table and read it, without any intention of paying any attention to the princes.
"Haha, you are worthy of the threat. I am telling you this. This is just to inform you."
Xiao Kun spoke again, his tone still so arrogant and disdainful.
Seeing that Wang Xiao ignored him, the prince's chest heaved rapidly with anger. If it hadn't been suppressed by the last trace of reason, he would have cursed at the top of his lungs.
He was so angry that he couldn't vent to Wang Xiao, so he targeted Xiao Kun.
"What position does your Excellency hold?"
This sounds okay, but it actually means something else.
The meaning of the princes' words is that no matter who you are, you are worthy of talking to a prince like me.
Xiao Kun glanced sideways at the princes and hugged Wang Xiao. The arrogance on his face disappeared and he respectfully replied: "I am the commander of Xiqi Jinyi Guards. Although he is only the commander of an army, his responsibility is not for combat."
"My Jinyi Guards Office is responsible for supervising hundreds of officials, princes and generals. If we find anyone who is disobedient and rebellious, we have the right to arrest and interrogate them without asking for instructions."
Although the princes had never heard of this position, they understood from the responsibilities of this position what kind of work this proud guy was responsible for.
Supervising all civil and military officials, to put it bluntly, he is the king's dog, a dog that specializes in biting them.
Xiao Kun stood up, glanced sideways at the princes, and said with an arrogant smile: "To put it simply, in the entire Xiqi, except for the princess and some designated people, we Jin Yiwei have the right to kill first and then report later."
"boom!"
The whole room exploded in an instant. They couldn't imagine that if their power was taken away in the future, their privacy and secrets might not be hidden anymore.
As for rebellion, the princes thought about it and suddenly realized that it didn't seem to be a good idea.
When they entered the city, they had already inquired about it or been informed intentionally.
Xiqi now has a strong military strength. Wang Xiao's 10 legions, plus Xiqi's original strength, and many soldiers under Zhang Guifang who are willing to join Xiqi in the past two days.
Adding east and west, the number of troops has exceeded 20, approaching 30.
30 people, God, the number of this army is more than the people in their fiefdom.
It is impossible for all the princes to unite in the rebellion. There must be some who are afraid of being careful. In this case, even if some princes choose to cause trouble, they will end up in the sea and be overwhelmed by the Taotao Zhou army.
Thinking of the consequences of rebellion, the princes were devastated.
If you don't win, you will definitely die if you are defeated and caught, and you may suffer endless torture after death.
They chose to surrender and accepted Wang Xiao's suggestion. All the power and territory were taken back, and they only had the title of princes. How could they, who had been famous for a generation, accept it?
"Everyone, the king proposed this idea for the sake of Xiqi and for everyone's good."
Once Zhou Gong saw that the threat was almost over, he stood up and slightly bowed his hands to everyone.
After everyone looked at him, they began to persuade: "It is also convenient for the king to manage the fiefdom together if everyone hands over the power of the fiefdom. Otherwise, it will be different from the fiefdom laws and troubles will easily occur."
"Of course, King Rende will not treat you badly."
"In the future, after the tyranny of Shang Zhou is defeated, when we discuss merits and reward them, we will never forget everyone's contribution."
All the princes snorted in their hearts when they heard this, but the matter had reached this point and they had nothing to do, but no one stood up to take the lead. As the saying goes, the first bird is shot.
The first one to stand up and resist will be hated by Wang Xiao. The first one to stand up and surrender will naturally be hated by other princes.
Although being the first to stand up and surrender may gain Wang Xiao's attention, there will be many benefits later.
But although the benefits are good, people who think about it shudder at the thought of being stabbed in the spine every day, or even assassinated by assassins.
"Report to your Majesty, there are generals from various princes outside who want to see you."
While the princes were hesitating, the gatekeeper came in and reported that there were generals from the princes who wanted to see their heads.
Wang Xiao nodded, "There must be something important happening. We can't delay it. Let them come in."
With Wang Xiao's permission, the duty officer brought more than a dozen veteran generals.
After the generals walked in, they first bowed to Wang Xiao, the great king, and then quickly ran to their master and whispered quickly in his ear.
With so many generals coming together, the princes had some suspicions in their minds. After hearing the reports from the parents, everyone's faces were livid, and their eyes turned angrily towards Wang Xiao, who still showed a gentle smile.
"Your Majesty, you sent troops to take over our fiefdom before we made a decision. Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
The prince, representing all the princes, looked at Wang Xiao angrily and asked with gritted teeth.
"Xiqi has shed enough blood. Now that we are facing a powerful enemy, we must unite to deal with the outside world and not cause trouble again internally. This is also an expedient measure."
"What a stopgap!"
The princes' angry fists clenched loudly, and they wanted to punch Wang Xiao, who still had a faint smile on his face.
When they met Wang Xiao, they never expected that this gentle and gentle young man could be so decisive and ruthless in his actions.
According to the speed at which Xiqi sent troops, it is estimated that as soon as they left the fiefdom for Xiqi, the Zhou army rushed in directly and took control of their fiefdom.
"Okay, okay, in that case, I want to see if you can get God's help for doing something that violates the ancestral etiquette."
The princes slammed the table angrily, stood up and walked to the small case next to Zhou Gongdan. Under Zhou Gongdan's guidance, he picked up a brush dipped in ink and signed his own signature on his copy of the notice. Name.
After writing, he snorted, took off his seal, and threw it on the table. He picked up the plate with the three treasures of the study next to him, picked up the paper bucket with white paper next to him, turned around and walked out angrily.
Seeing this, Wang Xiao stood up and cupped his hands, "A banquet has been prepared in the front hall. Don't miss it, Mr. Xu."
After speaking, he waved his hand to the attendant next to him, "Since you, the ministers, like the Four Treasures of the Study so much, I will ask everyone to prepare one. It can be regarded as a meeting gift for me to meet you this time."
The other princes did not say a word. They lined up and signed their names one by one, put down their seals, hugged the four treasures of the study brought by the soldiers, and strode away.
This busy work lasted only half an hour.
The authorization ceremony only officially ended after the last prince signed his signature and bid farewell to Wang Xiao.
Looking at the notices voluntarily handing over the rights and fiefdoms one by one, Wang Xiao showed a satisfied smile.
Although he also knew that this method was too direct and could easily make countless enemies, time waited for no one.
The news of Zhang Guifang's defeat has probably reached Chaoge City.
With Di Xin's arrogance, he would not stop there. I'm afraid it won't be long before a new round of crusade begins. (End of chapter)
