PFC Chapter 274: Political Turmoil
Chapter 274: Political Turmoil
This was achieved without any effort.
Sikong Yan's resignation from the post of Jiedushi of the two towns was undoubtedly a good thing for the Daqian court.
At present, Daqian has established its own counties. Apart from the three counties controlled by Ning Quan, there are only Wuning County and Jiannan County left. Huainan County was taken over by him last month.
If Fanyang and Pinglu counties can be successfully recovered, it means that Daqian is one step closer to unification.
And there is another benefit to this matter, which is that Zhao Heng and Liu Yongde may be forced to follow Sikong Yan's example and give up their posts as Jiedushi.
That would be even better.
Thinking of this, Ning Gao couldn't help but get excited.
This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
"Come on, accompany me to see the emperor."
"Yes."
Wang Cheng bowed and agreed.
........
Longyou County, Zhenxi Palace.
Liu Yongde looked at the letter in his hand with a sad face and couldn't help sighing.
This letter was sent by the steward of the royal palace in the capital, and its content was exactly about Sikong Yan's resignation as the governor of the two towns.
The letter clearly stated that Ning Yuanwu had agreed to Sikong Yan's resignation and appointed new governors of the two towns.
Liu Yongde didn't expect this to happen?
I never expected Sikong Yan to do this.
How could he just quit?
Now that I think about it, he married his daughter to the Ninth Prince. Could it be that he had already planned to retire?
"Hey, this old guy is so cunning!"
"Why didn't you tell us about such a big thing?"
“Isn’t this killing us?”
Liu Yongde said angrily.
......
In the Zhendong Palace, in Zhao Heng's study.
Zhao Heng looked at the letter in his hand with a complicated expression.
Sikong Yan's sudden resignation caught Zhao Heng off guard.
Like Liu Yongde, he never expected that Sikong Yan would take the initiative to resign.
The three kings are one, so shouldn't they communicate with each other beforehand about such matters?
If he suddenly resigned from his post, wouldn't that put him and Liu Yongde in an unfair position?
In this case, should he and Liu Yongde follow suit?
"No, it's definitely not that simple."
Thinking of this, Zhao Heng suddenly calmed down.
There must be a reason why Sikong Yan resigned.
It never happens for no reason.
But what is the reason?
Could it be...
A guess suddenly emerged in Zhao Heng's mind, and his heart suddenly contracted several times.
If his guess is correct, that would be bad.
In this case, he might really have to follow Sikong Yan's example and resign and retire.
"Forget it, forget it, it's better this way, at least it can have a good ending."
Shaking his head, Zhao Heng murmured.
............
When the news of Sikong Yan's resignation as the governor of the two towns spread, the whole world was shocked.
After all, Sikong Yan is one of the three kings of different surnames in Daqian.
His sudden resignation surprised many people.
What surprised them even more was that His Majesty actually approved the request, and the meaning behind this was intriguing.
"Sikong Yan is truly finished this time. Not only has he lost his military power, he has also lost his post as Jiedushi!"
"pitiful."
"Yes, is it because he married his daughter to the Ninth Prince, causing His Majesty's wrath?"
"It's not reasonable to say that a married daughter would jump out of the water, right?"
"Then what's going on? Is His Majesty preparing to pave the way for the Crown Prince?"
Many people are speculating.
Just as everyone was speculating, another shocking piece of news spread throughout the world.
The other two kings of Daqian with different surnames, Liu Yongde, the King of Zhenxi, and Zhao Heng, the King of Zhendong, came to the capital to meet the emperor on the same day and resigned from their posts as Jiedushi of Longyou and Hedong respectively!
In an instant, this news completely shocked the entire Daqian court.
"This...what on earth is going on?!"
"Prince Zhenxi, why did Prince Zhendong also resign?"
"Could it be that they were implicated by Sikong Yan?"
"What can we do!"
"It's over. Daqian is about to change."
For a moment, the people were talking about it.
The situation in Daqian changed drastically in just a few days.
.......
Anxi, Xizhou City.
Ning Quan naturally knew about all the changes that had taken place in the Daqian court.
But he was not surprised. He had already discussed that the King of Zhendong and the King of Zhenxi would also resign. Unless they wanted to rebel, they would definitely follow Sikong Yan's example and choose to retire.
But these are not important to Ning Quan. Even if Daqian is unified, it will not pose any threat to him.
The only thing he cared about was that Prince Ning Gao and others must die.
As long as the prince and others die, he will have fulfilled his wish.
As for the Great Qian Empire, he actually doesn't care.
He could even return Daqian to Ning Yuanwu after killing the prince and others.
Ning Yuanwu has more than a dozen sons, seven or eight of whom are younger than Ning Quan. One of them can always be chosen to be the emperor.
Of course, there is no rush for these things now. Ning Quan’s current focus is Japan.
Qi Jiguang has now taken over half of Kyushu Island, and in another half month the entire Kyushu Island will fall into his hands.
The daimyos in various parts of Kyushu Island were of average strength, so it was not surprising that they were easily conquered.
However, the power of the daimyos in Honshu and Shikoku is extremely strong.
Among them are the most famous figures in Japanese history, such as Takeda Shingen, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, etc.
It would not be easy for Qi Jiguang to defeat them next.
So in order to speed up the progress, Ning Quan decided to go to Japan in person.
The key point is that Ning Quan is also very interested in Takeda Shingen and others.
He wanted to see with his own eyes what these famous figures in Japanese history looked like.
"Ding, the three-month deadline has expired. Congratulations to the host for winning a chance to draw a prize."
"Ding, the six-month deadline has expired. Congratulations to the host for obtaining an opportunity to recruit a general."
Just as Ning Quan was thinking, the cold prompt sound of the system suddenly rang in his ears.
Ning Quan was suddenly awakened by the system sound.
I just remembered that three months have passed in the blink of an eye, and it’s time for the lottery again.
"lottery."
Ning Quan quickly gave orders.
Suddenly, the lottery disc appeared in his mind.
The nine items are:
Ammunition supply box x1;
Off-road motorcycle x2;
Flying car x1;
Small photovoltaic power plant x1
Diesel 10 tons x 1;
Marrow Cleansing Pill x5
Individual rocket launcher x4;
Armed off-road vehicles x3;
Ning Quan smiled immediately when he saw the items appearing in the lottery column.
This time the items include not only ammunition supply boxes, but also small photovoltaic power plants and flying cars.
"Is the stuff good this time?"
“I just don’t know what I can get.”
Ning Quan said happily.
"Draw the lottery now."
As the words fell, the lottery wheel began to spin.
Soon, the disc was spinning faster and faster.
After a while, the lottery disc stopped spinning and finally landed on the flying car.
