Chapter 655
The murderous aura emitted by Tang Yin caused the surrounding temperature to drop by several degrees. It was unknown whether Yin Zhun sensed his murderous aura or whether Montaigne's words had an effect. He laughed awkwardly and nodded, "That's right, General Meng is right."
Concentrating his thoughts, Yin Zhun showed a serious expression again and asked Tang Yin, "My dear, if you give the palace to me, where will you live?"
Seeing that Yin Zhun had returned to normal, the murderous aura emitted by Tang Yin decreased sharply and gradually disappeared. He smiled and said, "Before I became the King of Feng, I had a house in Yancheng. I can live there temporarily."
"Ah!" Yin Zhun responded, then shook his head and said, "How can a dignified prince live in an ordinary house? We still have to build another palace in the capital!"
Tang Yin smiled bitterly and said, "The Feng Kingdom has been suffering from disasters and has been at war with other countries for years. The treasury is empty. Where can we get money to build another palace?!"
The Feng Kingdom is famous for its poverty in the Haotian Empire, and Yin Zhun naturally understands it. He sighed, "It's a pity that I left too hastily, and I didn't have time to take away the gold and silver in the palace..."
Hmph! Tang Yin sneered in his heart. He had heard about the emperor's situation. The tribute from the nine vassal states was getting less and less. It was good enough for Shangjing to be self-sufficient. How much money could Yin Zhun have?
He cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please don't worry about this matter. I will solve it myself."
Yin Zhun nodded and said, "This time... I really wronged you."
Tang Yin said indifferently, "Your Majesty is polite."
After settling Yin Zhun, Tang Yin took a deep look at Yin Rou, who looked bad, without saying much, and then said goodbye to Yin Zhun and hurried to Huaying Palace.
When he arrived at Huaying Palace, Wu Mei, Fan Min, and Yuan Qianyi had been waiting for a long time. It was rare that Wu Mei and Fan Min had been in the same room for so long without quarreling. The three of them were all thinking about their own things. They sat at the door in silence. The joy when they first heard that Tang Yin had returned to the capital had long disappeared, and the atmosphere was a little solemn.
The three women were not fools. Tang Yin took the emperor to the palace, and his intention was very clear, that is, to let the emperor live in the palace. If the emperor lived close, Tang Yin and them would have to leave. After all, there had never been a precedent for the emperor to live with the princes.
Seeing Tang Yin, the three women stood up at the same time, and six eyes stared at him.
Tang Yin seemed to be fine, and walked in slowly with a smile. Seeing the abnormal expressions of the three women, he asked: "What? Are you unhappy that I'm back?"
Wu Mei was the most straightforward and asked the most direct question. She asked back: "Yin, are you going to take the emperor to live in the palace?"
Tang Yin sighed secretly, still with a smile on his face, and nodded: "Yes."
"How long will it take?"
"God knows. But it should be a long time. I think since Sichuan and Zhen dared to attack Shangjing, they will not give up Shangjing easily again."
Fan Min asked: "If the emperor lives in the palace, what should we do?"
Although it was difficult to say, Tang Yin had to tell the truth. He said quietly, "We can only move out of the palace first."
He knew that Wu Mei, Fan Min, and Yuan Qianyi had lived in the palace for so long and had adapted to the environment here. It would be difficult for them to accept the sudden change.
"Why do we have to leave? Yin, why do you insist on bringing the emperor to the capital? And why do you have to place him in the palace?" Wu Mei asked questions like a string of bullets, and at the same time expressed her dissatisfaction.
Tang Yin did not answer, and some words were not easy to say. He changed the subject and said seriously, "A mere palace is not that important. The value of the emperor is far greater than this! You will be wronged for a while. I promise that in a short time, I will build another palace in the capital that is bigger and more luxurious than this palace!"
Fan Min was not very confident about Tang Yin's guarantee. She did not understand national affairs, nor did she know how valuable the emperor was. But she knew that Fengguo had no money at all. I am afraid that the silver in the treasury was not as much as the silver in the palace treasury.
"With the current national strength, it would be good if we can build another palace of the same scale. It is estimated that it will take at least ten years." She said calmly.
Wu Mei's shoulders immediately slumped when she heard this. She looked at Tang Yin with resentment, and sat down slowly without saying anything more.
It is said that women should not be too smart! Tang Yin looked at Fan Min weakly, pondered for a moment, and said: "If you feel that living outside the palace is too unfair, then live in the temporary palace in Wancheng. Although it is not as good as the palace, it is not far behind..."
Upon hearing this, the three women did not even think about it, and said in unison: "No."
Yuan Qianyi, who had been silent all the time, said: "Husband, I don't think that living outside the palace will be suffering or wronged. We sisters are not afraid of suffering or wronged. I just think that doing this... is too unfair to my husband..."
Wu Mei and Fan Min also nodded, indicating that they thought the same as she said.
Tang Yin felt a warm current flowing through his heart. He stretched out his hand and gently pinched Yuan Qianyi's tender cheek, and said with deep eyes: "What kind of grievance is this? Even if it is, I will double it back in the future. Believe in your husband!"
Wu Mei, Fan Min, and Yuan Qianyi are not unreasonable people, and from the bottom of their hearts, they married Tang Yin not because of his monarch status. Even if he was just an ordinary person, they would still make the same choice.
At this time, although Tang Yin looked very relaxed and seemed to be indifferent, in fact, the three women could feel that he was also uncomfortable in his heart. Now is the time when he needs support the most. Even if the three women are unwilling, they can only make concessions.
Tang Yin didn't have to spend much time talking. Wu Mei, Fan Min, and Yuan Qianyi all nodded and expressed their willingness to move out of the palace.
Tang Yin was very moved by their kindness. It was precisely because of these friendships between them that Tang Yin could not abandon them for Yin Rou.
Tang Yin, who has always been a man of action, did what he said. On that day, he began to pack up and move out of the palace.
Tang Yin didn't have much stuff himself, but Wu Mei, Fan Min, and Yuan Qianyi had a lot of stuff. There were more than 30 carriages for transportation alone. When moving, Fan Min certainly didn't forget the palace silver vault that she had been managing. He asked Zong Yuan to do it, and sent someone to escort them to empty all the gold, silver, and jewelry stored in the palace silver vault.
Their house outside the palace is not far from the palace. It is the mansion that Tang Yin occupied before. Now he moved here as the monarch, and confiscated the three houses on the left, right and back of the mansion. He took them for himself and gave instructions to connect the four houses to each other and merge them into one house.
In this way, the area occupied has expanded several times. Although it is not as grand as the palace, it is not too different at least. Tang Yin does not care about his living environment. He is used to taking things as they come. But now he is no longer alone. He has a woman he must take care of and a responsibility he must bear.
The two countries of Chuan and Zhen joined forces to attack Shangjing. The emperor was forced to flee north. No one dared to intervene and help along the way. In the end, it was the King of Feng, Tang Yin, who personally entered the Mo Kingdom and took the emperor to the Feng Kingdom.
This incident surprised the princes. People all suspected that Tang Yin was crazy. Feng State was fighting with Ning State, and now it was provoking the two powerful countries of Chuan and Zhen. Isn't this courting death?
Just when people were ready to wait for the good show, news came out that after Feng Wang took the emperor to Yancheng, he gave his palace to the emperor, and he lived in an ordinary house.
After hearing this, the princes were even more amused. Tang Yin, the new monarch of Feng State, was simply a masochist. He was doing well in Feng State, holding all the power alone, and was the supreme monarch of Feng State. He had to take the emperor away, putting a mountain on his head. Now, even the palace was occupied by the emperor. He really deserved it.
None of the princes gloated over the misfortune of others, thinking that Tang Yin was asking for trouble and suffering.
The people of various countries were in stark contrast to the reactions of the kings.
In the past, they didn't know much about Tang Yin. They only knew that he started his career by relying on the civil strife in Feng State. They didn't know what kind of luck he had, but he eventually became the new monarch of Feng State. However, through this incident, people remembered Tang Yin firmly, and his loyalty and respectful attitude towards the emperor became the object of people's praise.
The foolish behavior in the eyes of other monarchs made Tang Yin establish a considerable prestige in other vassal states.
It was similar to Tang Yin's original expectation. The coalition forces of Sichuan and Zhen originally intended to directly attack Baguan, break into Feng State, and teach Tang Yin, who didn't know what was good for him, a lesson. However, the armies of the two countries were too far away from their homeland, and there were huge countries of Mo and An in the middle. Just the logistics supply was a big problem.
Hundreds of thousands of troops need to eat and drink every day, and consume huge amounts of food and grass. In addition, once the war starts, the loss of materials will inevitably increase, and the baggage must keep up. How many logistic teams composed of manpower are needed to support such a long distance? If you want to supply nearby, you have to rely on the support of An or Mo, but these two countries have no intention of contributing at all.
In addition, although Shangjing was occupied by Chuan and Zhen, there were constant rebellions. Today, the surrendered army rebelled, and tomorrow, the people rose up to make trouble, which made Chuan and Zhen very busy. There was also the pressure of public opinion at home and abroad.
Domestically, the voices of anti-war had become one, and the people and the army of Chuan and Zhen were unwilling to go to Feng, which was so far away and had a cold climate, to fight. Besides, since the emperor had entered Feng, the matter of clearing the court should be done by Feng, and Ji should not intervene.
Abroad, all the kings did not want to see Chuan and Zhen occupy Shangjing first and then Feng. Once the two countries annexed Feng, they would be stronger, and they would be unlucky at that time. Therefore, all the princes strongly opposed Chuan and Zhen to use force against Feng.
Under these unfavorable factors, the Chuan and Zhen coalition forces finally chose to retreat and did not launch an attack on Baguan.
