Chapter 201: Changes in the World

In the morning, Pang Jun woke up in Lyudmila's arms, but found Yan Huixin missing again. He recalled that last night, when he was having sex with Lyudmila, Yan Huixin knocked on the door, completely ignoring that he and the Grand Duchess of Luosha were having sex, and said while taking off her clothes: "After returning from the battlefield, I felt depressed, but I didn't know how to relieve it, so I had to come to you. It just so happens that I haven't experienced the so-called excitement between one dragon and two phoenixes, so this time is just right." Even though Pang Jun and the Grand Duchess of Luosha, who were used to seeing the romance, were frightened and speechless when they saw Yan Huixin being so unscrupulous. Pang Jun naturally accepted the service of two beauties with completely different styles, and the night of romance was not something that could be told to outsiders.

　　In Tianjing City, the self-proclaimed regent Prince Yang Man of Qi read the petition from Fei Lin begging for his remains, frowned, leaned back in his chair and sighed. Standing aside, Zhao Wuji, who was now the Minister of Justice, asked, "Your Highness, why are you so sad?"

　　Yang Man said: "Liaodong Governor Fei Lin wrote a letter to ask for his remains, but the successor he recommended was Liu Jun's family."

　　Zhao Wuji said, "This morning, Liaodong sent a message saying that Liu Jun personally led the troops to defeat the Japanese who attacked Yanzhou, lifted the siege of Yanzhou, and forced the Japanese to withdraw. Could it be that he used the troops to force Fei Lin to write a letter?"

　　Yang Man shook his head and said, "No, my spy in Liaodong sent me a message saying that it was Fei Lin who personally proposed this matter. Liu Jun himself was also frightened by Fei Lin's decision and didn't know what to do. It seems that Fei Lin, this old fox, has placed his bet on Liu Jun."

　　"Hmph, this Liu Jun killed my junior brother Wei Banshan. Sooner or later, I will settle the score with him." Zhao Wuji said with a cold snort.

　　"I know that you are still brooding over the death of Wei Banshan, but the leverage we have over King Wei is in Liu Jun's hands. Once Liu Jun makes this matter public, we will become the target of public criticism. The Emperor Lion Legion and Wei Jinglue have been sent to the north to deal with the northern barbarians. Xichuan Qi Tiansheng is also ready to make a move, not to mention my brother the King of Zhao. The resources we can mobilize are stretched to the limit, and we cannot make any more enemies. The most urgent task is to stabilize Liu Jun first, and then slowly take action after dealing with the others." Yang Man said.

　　"So how do we keep him steady?"

　　"Give him whatever you can. Don't be stingy. Let him be the Governor of Liaodong. Give him a Duke. He likes women, so give him women." Yang Man said as he pulled out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Zhao Wuji. "This is a secret letter that Liu Jun asked someone to hand over to me a few days ago. Hahahaha, I didn't expect Liu Jun to be so lustful."

　　Zhao Wuji looked at the secret letter, his face changed slightly, and he said, "I'm afraid..."

　　Yang Man waved his hands and said, "It's okay. You're just afraid that she'll talk nonsense. Now that Uncle Wei is dead, they can't make any big waves. A few days ago, I received news that Uncle Wei's concubine Jin is five months pregnant. The pulse shows that it's a boy. If she can help us convince Liu Jun to support my ascension to the throne and make the child a king as a condition, do you think she will agree? If Liu Jun listens to her pillow talk and supports my ascension to the throne, then Liu Jun must conceal my dealings with Uncle Wei. In this way, we can temporarily stabilize the situation, and we can make plans for the future."

　　Zhao Wuji narrowed his eyes and savored Yang Man's words carefully. After a long while, he said, "Your Highness, this is a very good plan, but will it cause dissatisfaction among the royal family? After all, this will damage the reputation of the royal family."

　　"Royal family? How many are left after my father slaughtered them? Besides, what's the use of royal family? At this time, the people who have money, food and soldiers are the ones who need to be won over the most. After I pacify the world, will these trivial matters still be a problem?" Yang said confidently.

　　After hearing this, Zhao Wuji bowed and said, "Then I, your Majesty, wish you success and become the ruler of the Great Jin Dynasty!"

　　"Hahahahaha…"

　　In the spring of the 27th year of Wude in the Great Jin Dynasty, Emperor Yang Shao was assassinated, Crown Prince Yang Zhi and Grand Tutor Nie Xingyan died in a failed mutiny, Prince of Wei Yang Tong disappeared, Prince of Qi Yang Man controlled the capital, and in May of the same year he ascended the throne as emperor, with the reign title Longjia, and named Princess Xue of Qi as empress. In the same month, Prince of Zhao Yang Sheng, who was far away in the south of the Yangtze River, proclaimed himself emperor, with the reign title Baoqing, and named the previous emperor's favorite concubine Nan Feifei as empress. In June of the same year, Qi Tian of Xichuan led his troops out of Xichuan, occupied the southwesternmost province of Yunnan and Guizhou in the Great Jin Dynasty, proclaimed himself emperor, named the country Shu, with the reign title Huangjian, and named Princess Su as empress. At one time, there were three emperors in the Central Plains.

　　At this time, of the nine provinces in the Central Plains, Yang Man actually controlled the Northwest, Anbei and three provinces in the Central Plains. Qi Tiansheng actually controlled the West Sichuan and Yunnan and Guizhou provinces. Yang Sheng actually controlled the Southeast and Jiangnan provinces. The Two Rivers Province and part of the Jiangnan Province had completely become a place where the "Tianyi Sect" was rampant. Most of the Liaodong Province had been controlled by Pang Jun, and the rest was controlled and confronted by the Liaodong border garrison and the Japanese invading forces.

　　In addition, Yang Man also issued an eye-catching decree, which said that since Songzhou Governor Liu Jun had made great contributions in resisting the Japanese and taking over the siege of Yanzhou, and Liaodong Governor Fei Lin had written a letter to ask for his remains, Liu Jun would be made the new Governor of Liaodong as the successor, and would be granted the title of Duke of Qin and Shangzhuguo, and the late King of Wei's wife Tang Yuxian would be married to Liu Jun as his legal wife!

　　When this decree was issued, everyone was shocked. Tang Yuxian was of such a high status. She was the principal wife of Prince Wei appointed by the late emperor, but Yang Man treated her like a princess for marriage. He said that she should be awarded to a minister, so she was awarded to a minister. Even if she was given as the principal wife, it was beneath her status and would damage the reputation of the royal family. So when this decree was issued, many ministers jointly wrote a letter to the emperor, asking Yang Man to withdraw the decree.

　　However, Yang Man summoned several of the most important and most vocal ministers of opposition into the palace. After a whole night, all the ministers left the palace with sighs, but they never asked about Tang Yuxian's marriage again. Seeing that many heavyweight ministers had backed down, and a few people who were jumping up and down were taken to the Ministry of Justice, everyone stopped and remained silent.

　　When Wei Wangshu, who was far away in Anbei and followed Wei Jinglue to fight against the northern barbarians, heard the news, he secretly spat, "Stinky brat, lecherous brat."

　　Somewhere in Lianghe Province, a beautiful woman, none other than Qin Jiuyuan, the "Red-tailed Fox King" of the "Tianyi Sect", came behind a black shadow and said respectfully, "Daohuang, news came from the capital that Yang Man forced Wei Wangfei Tang Yuxian to marry Liu Jun in order to stabilize the situation in Liaodong."

　　After hearing this, the black shadow moved slightly, and finally, he just said softly: "What a sin, what a sin, ah, Jiu Yuan, help me arrange it, I want to see Liu Jun, it's time, I have to see him." At this time, he raised his head and saw a beautiful woman sitting in a pavilion not far away. She was sitting there quietly, holding a copy of the "Tao Te Ching" in her hand, savoring it carefully...

　　In Liaodong, after officials from all levels of Liaodong learned about this, they split into two factions. One faction was still dreaming about Pang Jun's wife, who must be from Liaodong, preferably Fei Qingyu. The other faction was more rational, knowing that even if Pang Jun took over as the governor of Liaodong, his life would not be easy, as the Japanese could invade at any time. If he accepted the court's marriage, he would receive financial support from the court, which would allow him to better drive the Japanese out of Liaodong and lay a more solid foundation for the future development of Liaodong. As for who he married, it didn't matter, even if the woman was nearly forty years old or had already been with two men. Anyway, Pang Jun still had grandparents and grandchildren in his backyard, so she wouldn't be an important person.

　　From the moment he announced the decision, Fei Lin had already stopped caring about worldly affairs. Many Liaodong officials who went to visit him were turned away. Even Fei Longhai was no exception. The only people who were allowed in were Pang Jun, Fei Qingyu and his daughter-in-law Gu Yanan.

　　Amidst the noise, Pang Jun finally made the decision to accept the arranged marriage.

　　In the capital, at the Prince of Wei's mansion, the Prince of Wei's mansion was still filled with sorrow. Previously, it was because of the news of Yang Tong's death, and now, it was because of Tang Yuxian's matter. Jin, who was already several months pregnant, said to Tang Yuxian angrily, "This Yang Man is really too much, sister, why, why did you agree to his ridiculous conditions? You have to know, you have to know that Liu Jun is Yue'er, the person Yue'er likes. You, you are like this."

　　Tang Yuxian smiled sadly and said to Jin: "Sister, do you think I have a choice? His Majesty already knows that you are pregnant. His Majesty has proposed a condition to me. If I am willing to marry Liu Jun, then if the child in your belly is a boy, he will be the honorable King of Wei. If it is a girl, she can recognize the Queen Mother as her mother and be honored as the eldest princess. But if I don't agree, no one can guarantee what the consequences will be for you and the child in your belly."

　　After hearing this, Jin was shocked. After a long while, she hugged Tang Yuxian and cried bitterly, "Wuwuwuwu... Sister... It's me... It's us who are sorry for you... It's us who hurt you... I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."

　　Tang Yuxian shook her head and said, "It's okay, everything will pass, everything will pass, promise me, promise my sister, you and your son will live well, this is the incense left by the prince, you have to cultivate it well, understand?"

　　Jin nodded while crying, and fell into Tang Yuxian's arms. Tang Yuxian hugged Jin, thinking about something else: My son, where are you? Where are you?
