Chapter 925: Imminent
Yang Zhengqi and Fang Wucai looked at each other at the same time.
Under the other party's eyes, it seems that they have the same intentions.
Yang Zhengqi seemed to feel more and more that Mr. Fang was a wonderful person.
Fang Wucai did not give him a mysterious feeling, nor did he look like in the eyes of the Empress Dowager, he was an easy-to-control figure, but a person who could develop a tacit understanding with just one move.
Seeing Yan Chengjing's angry look, Fang Wu said, "Your Highness, be careful, it is because of this time that we need to participate in the alliance. Your Highness think about it. Today, Chen Kaizhi is so rude to Your Highness. This is a very shame and humiliation for Da Yan, but in the eyes of all countries, what will they think? In fact, Your Highness is now the heir of the Emperor of Da Yan. Chen Kaizhi dares to be so rude to Your Highness. So how will they think in the eyes of all countries? They will think that Chen Kaizhi dares to treat Your Highness like this, and I think that if Chen Kaizhi dares to treat Your Highness like this, he will dare to treat Yue like this, and Chu... This... is actually a good opportunity for heaven."
"This alliance should not be aimed at Xiliang, but at Da Chen. If His Highness raises his arms and calls out and all countries attack them, the Chen Kaizhi alliance will be disappointed."
"Once countries compete with Chen in this alliance, they can secretly sign an alliance covenant. Since Chen Kaizhi ascended the throne to Emperor Chen, he has been rebellious and domineering. All countries have long been dissatisfied. If all countries jointly attack Chen, Chen Kaizhi will have suffered a catastrophe. What's more, his most rare thing is Jibei. If the Yang fleet raids Jibei at this time, why worry about your highness not revenge?"
"Your Highness still needs to be patient at this time." Fang Wucai continued with a smile: "There is a saying that those who accomplish great things do not care about small matters, while those who are not willing to bear it will cause big plans. Since you have come, you have to make a decision after the alliance. However... Your Highness can immediately secretly compile a book in the country and prepare to gather the army and horses of Dayan."
Yan Chengjing endured the pain, but after listening to Fang Wucai's words patiently, his eyes turned, as if he was thinking about something, but there was a lot of suspicion in his eyes, and then looked at Fang Wucai and said, "It's just that this is Jibei, and the alliance with Chen Kaizhi here is like a scam with a tiger. After all, this is in the territory of Dachen..."
"Don't worry, Your Highness." Yang Zhengqi smiled meaningfully and said, "I have already had a secret contact with Shu and Chu. Even if it is Yue, I think that when the king of Yue comes to Yue, he will inevitably feel sad when he sees His Highness's miserable situation today. As Mr. Fang said, this is a good opportunity. Why should Your Highness worry about it?"
Yan Chengjing's anger was not gone, and she snorted coldly, but stopped making any more noises.
The so-called alliance, in a sense, has actually become useless now.
Especially when the story of Yan Chengjing spread throughout Jibei, all countries became suspicious, Chen Kaizhi's behavior was indeed too much. It is reported that the king of Yue did not even sleep well for a night. Obviously, his concerns had begun to magnify.
In summary, among the countries, Yue is the worst. Although they occupy Suzhou, Hangzhou and Minyue, they are relatively rich, they are not like Northern Yan and Xiliang. They have brave cavalry, nor are they like Southern Chu and Shu. They are now expanding southwards wildly. Therefore, in this alliance, the king of Yue comes here in person, and they hope to take this opportunity to watch the current situation of various countries.
But when he saw Chen Kaizhi being arrogant and rude to the people of Yan State, he had to make him anxious and became more worried.
In the eyes of many people, Chen Kaizhi became more and more ambitious, pacifying Guanzhong in one fell swoop and shocking all countries.
Today, when we come to Jibei, the prosperity of Jibei is not inferior to Suzhou and Hangzhou, which makes the king of Yue even more worried. It can be imagined that in time, Chen Kai's new army will be a must-have, and war may begin. How could the small Yue Kingdom be the opponent of Da Chen?
As for Chu, the prince of Chu had already arrived and felt this huge threat. He began to write books frequently to the country, and obviously began to lose his opinion.
Chen Kaizhi's insult to the Prince of Qinghe made people feel cold in his lips and teeth. Facing the rising rise of Chen, the Prince of Chu also felt great pressure.
The officials of Dachen's Ministry of Rites are now complaining.
These days, they have been secretly contacting various countries and showing goodwill to them. This is their job and are all preparing for the alliance. But who would have expected that His Majesty's reckless behavior would completely destroy all their efforts. But they did not dare to complain and had to come everywhere, explain to all countries, and try their best to maintain their relationship.
This is the benefit of being the emperor. The emperor can be willful, but there will always be people rushing to wipe his butt, even without any regrets.
Half a month later, a quick report had been passed to Jibei. It turned out that Yan State had begun to increase troops to the border.
The vast Yan army covered the sky and the sun, and stationed in Zhucheng along the Hebei coast. A large number of rafters even began to explore Jibei. Not only that, several cross-country markets that leaned against the Jibei border were originally places where Yan merchants who entered and exited Jibei rested, but now they have begun to station troops without knowingly.
I thought that under this tense situation, Jibei would inevitably become depressed at this time.
But as soon as this news came out, the trade in Jibei suddenly began to surge.
The war may be about to begin.
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.
But fine salt and many fine steel are necessities and are extremely popular. The more likely it is to start a war, the more likely it will be to deal with the ports for trade in the future. Once trade is cut off, it means that the price of fine salt and fine steel in Yandi will soar. At this time, you should take advantage of the opportunity to stock up more goods and stock up, and when will you wait?
So, Jibei did not show a panic that was consistent with common sense, but it had a counterproductive effect. Not only did the trade not plummet, but it began to soar at a miraculous speed. Almost all workshops were urging goods, and the prices of fine salt were rising. Countless Yan merchants went crazy through the Yan army's defense line and entered Jibei. Then they used cars to pull them, asking people to carry them on their shoulders, and deliver large and small bags of goods to Hebei.
Yang Biao was stunned by this situation, because before that, the prefect of Jibei had made a special report, believing that the tension in Yan and Chen might cause the orders of Jibei Workshop to plummet, and Jibeiji needed to deal with it.
But now... it is more like the madness before the darkness comes. There is not much panic about the coming of the streets and alleys, and everyone is talking about the rise and fall of prices. No, theoretically, there is only rise and no fall. Almost everyone is looking for goods. Yan merchants are entrenched in Jibei, crowded. They have the accent of Hebei, like hungry wolves, and do not miss any opportunity.
At the same time, the mighty warrior camp began to enter Jibei.
The war is about to break out.
But at this moment, the alliance began.
The location of the alliance is in Zhizheng Academy in Jibei.
This Zhizheng Academy was built by Mr. Jiang. It is one of the most magnificent buildings in Jibei and also the land of Kanto. In addition to the Luoyang Academy, there are tens of thousands of scholars studying and communicating here.
It is precisely because this place is the most magnificent, but now it is temporarily requisitioned, and then the guards surrounded the place with a mess.
Officials from various countries have already made detailed arrangements with officials from the Dachen Li Ministry here, the location of the alliance, the candidates for participation, and even the seats of the monarchs and envoys of various countries.
Even the tea, meals, fruits and vegetables used are determined by various countries. The Minister of Rites in Dachen dared to ignore almost any details. Sometimes, sometimes, the envoys from various countries may have disputes over a dish.
Fortunately, all this went smoothly. After all, the envoys from various countries knew that quarreling was their business, and what they had to do was to try their best to communicate and make progress. After everything was arranged, all the details began to be written into the charter and finally filed.
Chen Kaizhi personally arrived at the school. Under the guidance of Wang Binzhong, the Minister of Rites, and after a tour along the way, he felt satisfied.
The next day, at auspicious time, monarchs and envoys from various countries entered the academy one after another, and Chen Kaizhi, as the host, personally welcomed him. In the end, everyone sat down in Minglun Hall.
Yansheng Gong Kong Huaiyi looked uneasy. He was unwilling to be controlled by Chen Kaizhi, but he was also worried that the situation would be out of control. Jibei was already bordering Yan State, and the Yan army had gathered towards the border one after another. It was only a hundred miles away from here. If the fight started, he might not be able to protect it.
Although the king of Yue kept a smile on his face, he felt even more uneasy in his heart. He deeply felt that this alliance would never be calm. Yue was in Jibei, and there were also people lurking. According to reports, this time... there must be a smell of gunpowder, and where will Yue go?
The Crown Prince of Chu looked like he was chatting and laughing, but everyone understood that the Crown Prince was not relaxed. The Chu people were relatively remote from the Central Plains, so if there was a war in the Central Plains, they didn't care. If they could take the opportunity to get some advantage, it would be great. But he was the Crown Prince. Since he was in this place, he knew that any statement he made today might greatly affect the interests of the Chu people, so he naturally had to be cautious in his words and actions.
The envoy of Shu Kingdom was also invited. In addition, there was another person who appeared in Minglun Hall. This person was Qian Sheng, the prince of Xiliang Kingdom. Qian Sheng had fled this time and had been taken to Jibei. He naturally wanted to accuse the Xiliang National Master of Husband, kill the Xiliang royal family, and request that all countries seek justice.
