Chapter 872 Blood Letter from the People

Chapter 872: Blood Letter from the People!

Emperor Yu sat on the dragon throne, furious. This rebellious son definitely had other intentions.

He was typically prepared to use himself as a tool!

What did he think of himself as?

When he was needed, he would criticize her passionately, and when he was not needed, he would seduce her with beauty. Could it be that I really let him manipulate me?

"Please, father, turn back from your wrong path, return to the center, manage the court affairs, and revitalize the court!"

"Please, Your Majesty, turn back from your wrong path"

The court officials were also very happy. If Emperor Yu could return to the center, it would be a good thing for them!

At least it avoids the situation where the prince's family is the only one in power. If His Majesty can take this opportunity to regain power

Many people were secretly moved. Emperor Yu glared at Ning Fan fiercely and said lightly: "I have written down what the prince said."

"Father, there is one more thing that I need to report!"

"Go ahead!"

Ning Fan saluted in a proper manner, looked around, and said softly: "Not long ago, I met a group of people on the way back to Beijing. They were ragged and sallow."

"I saw their clothes, pale faces, and weak bodies, and I couldn't help feeling a little angry."

"In the past few years, my Dayu has not said that the country is rich and the people are strong, but there are not groups of people on the long streets. Struggling."

"So, I stopped them all and asked them a question."

When Ning Fan said this, many officials shrank their heads, felt a chill in their necks, and couldn't help but mourn in their hearts.

Don't involve yourself!

"I just know that they are the people of Donghuai. Since the death of the Emperor of Donghuai, the national strength of Donghuai has been declining!"

"The island country of Dongying has repeatedly violated the border and harassed the coast."

"In the country, the people are displaced, the court is increasingly chaotic, the bandits are rampant, and the anti-kings are dividing the land for self-government!"

"Tens of millions of people in Donghuai are suffering!"

Ning Fan's face also showed a trace of compassion. When the court officials heard the word Donghuai, they were all confused, while Lin Qiushi and Emperor Yu were trembling.

Could it be that

Just as they hesitated, they saw Ning Fan took out a long piece of cloth from his arms and slowly spread it out in front of the hall.

It turned out to be a blood letter!

"This is"

Lin Qiushi's face trembled, staring at the slowly spread blood-colored cloth, and exclaimed: "The Book of Ten Thousand People?"

"That's right!"

After getting Ning Fan's affirmation, Lin Qiushi finally knew what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was going to do, and he was also very excited.

"Father, this is a petition to the people written with the blood of 10,172 people from Donghuai!"

"Please have a look, Father."

Emperor Yu also had a complicated expression on his face. He slowly stood up from the dragon chair and looked at Ning Fan with some emotion.

So soon?

The stable pattern of the Central Plains for more than a hundred years may change from today!

"Read!"

"The Donghuai tribes, the untouchables, present to His Majesty Emperor Yu: Since Donghuai surrendered to Dayu and went to court, the court and the country have been in turmoil, treacherous ministers have emerged, and the power of the emperor has been lost. Now, I, Donghuai, have gathered more than 10,000 people from 19 counties and prefectures to plead with blood. Please allow my Donghuai to be incorporated into Dayu's territory. From now on, the two places will be one country, and we will respect Emperor Yu together to resolve the current chaos."

"Zhong was originally one family, and we all respected the emperor. Now the court is unrighteous and the ministers are immoral. Your Majesty Emperor Yu, your reputation is far-reaching, you respect the will of heaven and obey the will of the people, you are the most holy and wise, and you appoint the wise to reform."

"The stars turn at night, the emperor's stars return to one, and the changes in the sky predict the world."

More than a thousand words, from the chaos of the current situation, the virtue of Emperor Yu, the source of history, the changes in celestial phenomena and other levels, to explain that the time has come. Donghuai is now incorporated into Dayu, which is in accordance with heaven and the people!

For a moment, the whole court was silent.

"Your Majesty!"

"I beg you to approve the request of the people of Donghuai and accept them into Yu's territory!"

Lin Qiushi was the first to come forward, followed by Zheng Xuan and other court officials.

Emperor Yu was also excited. This letter to the people was of extraordinary significance. If he could really bring Donghuai into Dayu's territory, then his achievements would far surpass those of the previous emperor!

After all, when the princes were divided, Dayu destroyed Zhou, but he only destroyed a vassal state!

But Donghuai is one of the five major countries in the Central Plains!

"Your Majesty, I think this is inappropriate!"

Just when the ministers were excited, Zhuge Liang slowly stepped out and bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, Donghuai is a vassal state of my Dayu. I regard my Dayu as the suzerain state and respect your majesty as the emperor!"

"But although Donghuai is in chaos now, the Donghuai court has not collapsed yet."

"How can my Dayu, as a superior country, annex the land of the vassal state?"

Hearing Zhuge Liang's words, the court officials were a little confused for a while.

Wasn't this matter first raised by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

Didn't they discuss it with the Crown Prince's Mansion beforehand?

Zhuge Liang came out to sing a different tune, and Emperor Yu also noticed something wrong. He glanced in the direction of Ning Fan, and saw this rebellious son pretending to doze off, and he was a little angry for a while!

"Hmph!"

"Prince, what do you think?"

Ning Fan yawned, looked at the ministers and smiled, "Father, what Kong Ming said is not without reason. As a superior country, if I, Dayu, wantonly annex the territories of the lower vassal states, who will dare to submit to me, Dayu, in the future?"

"Oh!"

Emperor Yu responded indifferently, and said calmly: "What do you think?"

"Please ask Father to issue an edict to urge Donghuai to eliminate bandits, resist foreign barbarians, quell the rebel king, and bring peace to the people!"

"Approved!"

Emperor Yu didn't ask Ning Fan what he was planning to do, but looking at the treacherous son with a grasp on his hands, it was obvious that he was confident!

After discussing this matter, the courtiers stopped talking. Lin Qiushi coughed lightly and looked at Ning Fan: "Your Highness, since Duke Shen passed away, among the three provinces, the Zhongshu Order has been vacant. I don't know."

As Lin Qiushi spoke, he observed Emperor Yu's expression. Sure enough, as soon as the words came out, Emperor Yu's expression darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Zheng Xuan, who was standing next to him, also had a look of embarrassment on his face, and looked at Ning Fan with a smile: "Your Highness, during the meeting the day before yesterday, the Prime Minister Zuo recommended a subordinate to the post of Shangshu Ling. I thought this matter still needs to be discussed!"

"oh"

Ning Fan glanced at Emperor Yu playfully and asked jokingly: "What do you mean, Father?"

"snort!"

"I have decreed that Lin Qiushi will take over the post of Zhongshu Ling, Zheng Xuan will be appointed Shangshu Ling, and Shang Yang will be appointed Shangshu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. What does the prince think?"

"Since my father has issued an order, my sons and ministers should obey it!"

"Um!"

Emperor Yu nodded with satisfaction, and then glared at Lin Qiushi fiercely. Who is this old boy with?

"Okay, do you guys still have something to report?"

"Father, I have a plan to tell you!"

Ning Fan took a step forward and stepped forward again.
