Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 2532  The Discussion of the Emperor and Prime Ministers (2)

Even before Fei Yang Kingdom flourish nor showing their fangs, Emperor Qi Kan Tian had already taken the bet with Emperor Yang Zhou. It seemed as if Emperor Qi Kan Tian had known that Emperor Yang Zhou could do this.

Or perhaps…

It was more like he was betting for the future. That when Emperor Yang Zhou grew up, he would be able to unite the entire land and Qi Xi Kingdom would not have to suffer too much under him. Because of this, Emperor Qi Kan Tian willingly step down and handed over Qi Xi Kingdom to Fei Yang Kingdom’s hand. Prime Minister Hao was now following Emperor Qi Kan Tian’s order and did his best to integrate Qi Xi Kingdom into Fei Yang Kingdom. He had to make sure that the people under him would still have a place in Fei Yang Kingdom.

Or if they didn’t want to use them again in the court, at least they would not be persecuted. There were many war prisoners under Fei Yang Kingdom because of the continuous wars.

Right now, these people were suffering hard because they were loyal to their respective kingdom. Fei Yang Kingdom didn’t need these people with different ideas.

No matter whether it was men, women, old people or even children. As long as they thought of overthrowing Fei Yang Kingdom and raised their weapon, they would be caught as traitors or rebels.

There were many people.

And this number was still increasing.

Prime Minister Hao didn’t know the exact number, but he didn’t want the people under Qi Xi Kingdom to suffer the same fate. So the best he could do was to convince them all to serve Fei Yang Kingdom with all of their heart.

Qi Xi Kingdom is over.

But they were still alive.

And they had to make sure that they continued to be alive so that the legacy of Qi Xi Kingdom could be passed down through them.

With Prime Minister Hao’s persuasion, the transition of Qi Xi Kingdom into Fei Yang Kingdom could be said to be relatively smooth. There were almost no resistance and even if there were some people who felt unwilling, they only thought so in their heart and would not act on it. So everything looked very peaceful. “He’s a good leader,” Emperor Yang Zhou said. He was willing to admit that Emperor Qi Kan Tian was a good leader and also a good emperor. Without his contribution over the years for Qi Xi Kingdom, there was no way Qi Xi Kingdom would reach this stage.

But even if Emperor Qi Kan Tian is a good leader, Emperor Yang Zhou could not spare Emperor Qi Kan Tian.

He had to take Qi Xi Kingdom under him. This was the main reason why the two of them negotiated about Qi Xi Kingdom surrendering to Fei Yang Kingdom in the past. Emperor Qi Kan Tian willingly gave over the kingdom he ruled to Fei Yang Kingdom as long as Fei Yang Kingdom treated Qi Xi Kingdom’s people fairly and a few other conditions.

It was all easy to do for Emperor Yang Zhou. “Yes, Your Majesty,” Prime Minister Xian replied.

Emperor Yang Zhou tapped the table. “Arrange some people to be the main leaders and try to reuse these people first. You can make the arrangement as for who to send to Qi Xi Kingdom.”

The two prime ministers looked at each other and then replied, “Yes, Your Majesty.”

There were actually a few people who were suitable to be sent to Qi Xi Kingdom, but there were also a few people who came to them and asked to go. These people were the people who knew they had no future if they stayed in the court and wanted to take their chances in Qi Xi Kingdom. But there was no way these two prime ministers would let just anyone go to Qi Xi Kingdom. They needed the trusted people.

‘Fei Yang Kingdom develops a bit too fast.’

Prime Minister Lan sighed.

It took time to develop talent into real abilities and many of the talented officials were still a bit too young. He felt that they needed to be tempered first before they could reach higher position. Because when they reached high position, a single decision could involve the lives of countless people behind them. Without sufficient experience, there was no way these young people could possibly use the most efficient method when dealing with a problem in front of them. “I think you should have known a few people that should be sent, the main problem is the Xiao Family,” Prime Minister Xian whispered in a low voice.

Emperor Yang Zhou was reading another memorial and the two of them had to discuss about this matter as soon as possible. Fei Yang Kingdom couldn’t wait any longer and they needed to send people as soon as possible. “Some of them are a bit too greedy.” Prime Minister Lan also frowned.

In the past, the Xiao Family always behaved within the line and never did anything risky. To put it in another word, their action could be seen as cowardly. But it was also precisely because of their series of action that allowed the Xiao Family to survive for so many years under different emperors. They only swore allegiance to Fei Yang Kingdom no matter who the person sitting on the throne is.

Because of this, the Xiao Family was trusted by the emperors.

Some of them could reach high position but most of them were only in the middle areas as they didn’t dare to take big risks and always playing it save.

But after Empress Xiao becoming the empress and not having a child even after a few years…

Some members of the Xiao Family started to feel dissatisfied and made their own move.

This was something that made the two prime ministers dissatisfied.

They picked Empress Xiao because her family was quiet and didn’t make trouble, but now some people were jumping around, provoking them.
