The battle for the throne in Kowloon starts with the steady prince

Chapter 111 The Second Brother is a Smart Man (Seeking Monthly Tickets and Reading Commitment)

Songzhou, the main hall of the governor's mansion.

King Liang of Qin, Qin Changge; King Ning of Qin, Qin Changfeng; and King Zhou of Qin, Qin Changjian, all sat at the round table.

Xiao Dashan, Mei Yinxiang, and Leng Tingyu stood behind Qin Changge.

Qin Changfeng said, "Sixth brother, this time your second brother has already said that Yunzhou, Songzhou and Meizhou will all become your fiefdoms, and you will also have complete control over military power, financial power and appointment power."

"Ok?"

Qin Changge hesitated for a moment before asking, "Give me military power too?"

"Yes," Qin Changfeng said, "but the 500,000 troops of the Han Dynasty need to be dispersed and reorganized, and incorporated into the Qingzhou troops, Taizhou troops, and Yunzhou troops."

"Oh." Qin Changge nodded.

This is normal operation.

If the original structure is maintained, it will pose a great threat to the Qin Dynasty, as these Han soldiers may defect at any time.

Leng Tingyu sighed. Once the 500,000 Han troops were scattered and reorganized, his importance would be greatly reduced.

However, there is no other way. Unless Emperor Qin Changqing of Daxing is an incompetent fool, this dismantling and reorganization is inevitable.

“I have no objections at all,” Qin Changge said. “You can handle everything. I’m going to focus on my cultivation.”

"Ah."

Qin Changfeng smiled and said, "Sixth Brother is indeed focused on cultivation, which is why his cultivation level has improved so quickly."

Standing to the side, King Zhou Qin Changjian smiled and said, "I should learn from Sixth Brother; cultivation is the foundation of everything!"

"Mmm." Qin Changge nodded.

Qin Changfeng said, "Sixth Brother, we're going to get to work now. Would you like to come along?"

"I'll pass," Qin Changge said with a smile.

"it is good."

Qin Changfeng looked at Leng Tingyu and said, "Lord Leng, please come with us."

“Okay.” Leng Tingyu nodded.

Qin Changqing had naturally considered Leng Tingyu's arrangements. He needed to make her a key figure so that it would be easier to attack the Han territory west of the natural barrier.

……

In the main hall of the governor's mansion, only Qin Changge, Mei Yinxiang, and Xiao Dashan remained.

Mei Yinxiang bowed deeply, "Your Highness, please punish me."

"What crime has the Governor of Meizhou committed?" Qin Changge asked.

“I lost Songzhou, otherwise we wouldn’t have had to go through all this trouble,” Mei Yinxiang said somewhat awkwardly.

Qin Changge shook his head, "No one could have predicted that Xie Jingzhe would use such a heinous scheme. It's normal to fall for it. There's no need to blame yourself."

Mei Yinxiang said, "Things have come to this point, and I have no face to continue to govern Yunzhou. I beg Your Highness to choose another capable person."

Qin Changge shook his head. "No, we work together very well. I'm not comfortable with someone else."

“Well…” Mei Yinxiang was a little surprised; Qin Changge was really easy to talk to.

If it were Emperor Qin Changqing of the Great Xing Dynasty, Mei Yinxiang would probably have already packed her bags and left.

After all, the most important thing for a qualified leader is to be clear about rewards and punishments!

Qin Changge said, "Not only Yunzhou, but also Songzhou and Meizhou will be under your command in the future."

"Huh?" Mei Yinxiang was stunned.

"You can manage this for me; I don't trust anyone else," Qin Changge said.

Mei Yinxiang hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Highness, I suffered a defeat this time, but instead of being punished, I was promoted? Is this appropriate?"

Qin Changge said, "If I say it's suitable, then it's suitable."

"Yes." Mei Yinxiang stopped being coy.

Now, Qin Changge is the one who calls the shots in these three prefectures of Yunzhou, Songzhou, and Meizhou. Qin Changge is the king of these three prefectures!

"Go and make the arrangements, and then send me the cultivation resources, the more the better," Qin Changge said with a smile.

"Yes." Mei Yinxiang stood up. "This humble official will do his utmost!"

"Go ahead," Qin Changge said, seeing Mei Yinxiang off as she left the governor's mansion hall.

Xiao Dashan finally spoke up, "Your Highness, this is too outrageous! Why would His Majesty allow you to retain military power? Why did you promote the Governor of Meizhou?"

Qin Changge rolled his eyes at Xiao Dashan.

"The second son is a smart man. Of course he knows that military power is not important to me. What difference would it make if I took it away?"

"Oh." Xiao Dashan realized, "The reason we were able to capture Songzhou this time was not because of the Yunzhou soldiers, but because of your talisman, Your Highness."

"Yeah." Qin Changge nodded.

Qin Changge has already formed an army all by himself, and he is considered one of the best in terms of first-grade combat strength.

Therefore, taking away Qin Changge's military power is not so important; rather, how to arrange Qin Changge's fate is the most important thing.

Emperor Qin Changqing of the Great Xing Dynasty was quite generous, directly granting the three prefectures of Yunzhou, Songzhou, and Meizhou to Qin Changge.

They gave money when needed and people when asked; they were completely open and honest with each other.

"As for the governor of Meizhou," Qin Changge explained, "it's better to stick with what you know than to do something unfamiliar. If it were someone else, it would take time to get to know them, which would be too troublesome."

"I see." Xiao Dashan nodded.

Then I just felt that Qin Changge had the right to be willful.

Yes, from being a puppet emperor at the beginning to being the king of the three states now, Qin Changge has truly grasped real power.

"Striving to cultivate is the right path!" Qin Changge patted Xiao Dashan on the shoulder, then returned to the underground palace to continue cultivating.

……

……

The Han Dynasty, the Imperial Palace.

Royal study room.

Click!

Emperor Shouguang smashed the teacup, his face turning extremely pale.

"By imperial decree, Leng Tingyu's entire family shall be exterminated, the men shall be beheaded and their heads displayed in public, and the women shall be sent to the brothel as slaves."

"According to the order!"

Bai Fuyi, standing to the side, clasped his hands in acceptance of the order.

The other important officials of the Han Dynasty also had no objections.

If Xie Jingzhe cut off the livelihood of the people of the Han Dynasty, then Leng Tingyu was cut off by the Han Dynasty court.

It's all over.

The defection of 500,000 troops to the enemy is far more serious than the complete annihilation of 500,000 troops.

"I sent him to negotiate peace, and he surrendered to me. Very well..."

Emperor Shouguang was so angry that his nose became crooked.

It should be noted that Leng Tingyu rose to the position of Minister of Rites, which was considered the pinnacle of officialdom. Emperor Shouguang treated him well, yet he still chose to defect to the enemy.

"Your Majesty, the best course of action now is to consider the consequences of Leng Tingyu's defection," Bai Fuyi said. "Leng Tingyu knows everything about our Han Dynasty..."

"Get to it immediately," Emperor Shouguang realized, then felt a chill run down his spine. "Especially the Heavenly Barrier Teleportation Array, destroy them all for me!"

Bai Fuyi said, "Your Majesty, I destroyed the teleportation array immediately. Now, it will be extremely difficult for the Qin Dynasty to cross this insurmountable barrier."

"That's good." Emperor Shouguang breathed a sigh of relief.

The natural barrier was what allowed the Han Dynasty to continue to survive.

If the Qin Dynasty were to cross the natural barrier one day, then the Han Dynasty would be finished.

"Your Majesty, regarding the request for an alliance from Great Chu..." Bai Fuyi said, "Although Great Chu attacked us first, we now have a common enemy."

"There's no need to discuss this matter further," Emperor Shouguang waved his hand. "Great Qin is on the other side of the natural barrier, so it's not a concern. Great Chu is right next to our bed, so what's the point of negotiating?"

"Yes!" Bai Fuyi accepted the order.

Many high-ranking officials of the Han Dynasty were trembling with fear.

No one knew when the Qin army would cross the natural barrier.
