Chapter 622 The Great Clan’s Counterattack

"What's up, sir?"

Wang Weng sat in the upper seat, and even when facing the counselors in the court, he showed no intention of paying his respects.

Now he is deeply favored by Sun Hao and is very proud of himself.

This gave him great courage. He dared to challenge even important officials in the court, let alone a small councilor.

Xiong Yi looked at the old liar in front of him, but he was not too polite. He just sat next to him without any intention of greeting.

"I heard that the prince gained the favor of His Majesty by his skills in sophistry and tricks on children."

Wang Weng was furious. He immediately interrupted Xiong Yi and cursed, "You are talking nonsense! How dare you humiliate me like this! I will report to His Majesty and have you executed!"

There was no fear in Xiong Yi's eyes. He said seriously, "My father was an upright man. When he was a provincial governor, he was deeply respected by the people. When he was a minister, he never neglected his duties and always performed them conscientiously. However, because he saw Your Majesty's cruelty and gave a word of advice, the emperor ordered him to be beaten to death with the hilt of a sword."

After hearing these words, for some reason, Mr. Wang's anger dissipated a little.

"You go."

He waved.

Xiong Yi looked at him and said, "You may not know that my father was once deeply favored by the emperor before he persuaded the emperor, but because of a single sentence, he suffered such treatment."

"And then there's Wei Yao. Every time the emperor holds a banquet, he can't drink due to his old age, so the emperor lets him drink tea instead of wine. All the ministers know this and know how much he loves Wei Yao. But, during the last banquet, the emperor suddenly flew into a rage and ordered all the ministers to unite and insult Wei Yao, using all kinds of methods to humiliate him."

"And Wan Yu, who helped His Majesty ascend to the throne, was so favored in the past, but now, it is so difficult for him to even see the emperor."

Mr. Wang was getting restless.

"What do you want to say?"

Xiong Yi looked at him and said, "I just want to tell you, Your Excellency, no matter how much His Majesty loves you now, there will be unexpected changes sooner or later."

"Since you have been accompanying His Majesty, you should have seen clearly what kind of person His Majesty is."

"Your Majesty acts erratically, cruelly, and without any rules. He acts recklessly. Initially, he only killed those who were lowly and dared not to dissuade him. Now, even the virtuous cannot escape. Sooner or later, he will kill everyone around him!!"

Hearing this, Mr. Wang stood up suddenly, extremely frightened. He looked towards the door and then began to tremble.

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

"How could you not know?"

"How powerful the Wei State is today! A wise and virtuous king governs with clear governance, peace and prosperity for the people. Grain piles up like mountains, and with half a million armored soldiers, no one in the world can match it. They've conquered Shu and conquered Liang, and taken northern Jiang and southern Jing, now occupying Jiaozhou. Their four great generals are stationed in Qing, Xu, Yang, Yu, Jing, and Jiao, respectively. They've been building ships and training their navy year after year!"

"Even if we don't die at the hands of Sun Hao, we will die at the hands of those Wei people sooner or later!"

"This won't take more than three years!"

"At whose hands did you die?"

Mr. Wang pursed his lips, his face filled with fear, but still did not answer.

Xiong Yi said, "After over a hundred years of conflict, it's time to end. I've asked about your situation. You used to be a scholar who studied the classics. How did you fall to this point, relying on deception to gain status?"

"Now is your last chance. If you can help me, we can quell the war and end this catastrophe together, and you can regain your reputation. Otherwise, if you are killed by Sun Hao or the Wu Kingdom is destroyed, you will be a complete scum of the alchemy, despised by future generations and ridiculed for thousands of years!!"

At this moment, Mr. Wang could no longer speak, and he sat down in his seat powerlessly.

He knew very well what kind of person Sun Hao was.

When he first learned that Sun Hao was looking for him, he wanted to run away, but he failed and was taken into the palace by Sun Hao. Sun Hao was indeed as the rumors said, moody and unpredictable, and you could never imagine what words or actions could offend him.

Even if you say nothing and do nothing, it won't work.

Wang Weng saw one of his companions having his throat cut by Sun Hao because he remained silent. Sun Hao said he wanted to see if his tongue was stuck inside.

It is really frightening that he kills people so casually.

It seemed like he was randomly picking a few people to kill every day, with no logic or order to his actions.

Of course, Wang Weng would feel afraid to assist such a person.

But Wang Weng was even more afraid of opposing such a person.

Looking at the trembling old man in front of him, Xiong Yi softened his tone and said, "I came to you today, not afraid that you would report me. I have made up my mind to die. Rather than living in fear, I would rather fight to the death. I have already contacted the Wei people."

Wang Weng looked at him.

Xiong Yi said: "I am not asking you to poison Sun Hao or assassinate him. I just want you to help me. We can think of a good way to start from Sun Hao's preferences, and then contact the Wei people to find a way to destroy Sun Hao and let him taste the fear."

"Prince, please do not hesitate. This is our chance. Besides, the people of Wei already know that I came to see you. If you still want to report me, the final result will not be just to die together. Since we are all going to die anyway, why not live towards death?!"

Wang Weng took a deep breath and said slowly, "Sun Hao is tall and skilled in martial arts, so it will be difficult to kill him." Xiong Yi said, "Don't worry. There are many people in Wu who want to kill him. Several wise men have even written to me, saying they have matters that cannot be discussed in letters. If you are willing to help us, this will be even more successful."

Wang Weng knew it.

Xiong Yi dared to come here and talk to me, it was definitely not because he had the support of the Wei people, he must have a big family behind him to rely on.

Sun Hao's actions have offended the big families who have private armies too much. They will definitely find a way to get rid of Sun Hao.

Wang Weng pursed his lips and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

Xiong Yi narrowed his eyes and said, "I will let you know when the time comes. Just wait for our news!"

The two conspired for a long time before Xiong Yi hurriedly left.

Xiong Yi has now contacted many people, and these people are all those who oppose Sun Hao, including both Wu and Wei people. Anyway, as long as he can avenge his father and kill Sun Hao, he can find anyone.

The powerful families in Wu are not easy to mess with. In the past, even a powerful person like Sun Chen was dealt with by the powerful families. Even emperors like Sun Xiu did not dare to provoke them easily. Sun Hao dared to kill so cruelly, so the powerful families must want to kill him.

However, at present, the major families of the Wu State have not yet found a representative who can accomplish great things.

The big families also need a leader, but the most suitable candidates all stand on the side of imperial power.

However, they still made certain arrangements and plans for Sun Hao.

As their liaison between various parties, Xiong Yi was constantly passing on information.

After receiving Xiong Yi's hint, Wang Weng immediately began his first performance.

When Sun Hao asked him to observe the qi, Wang Weng was standing on a high platform, looking into the distance, and suddenly he let out a scream.

“Your Majesty!! This is not good! This is not good!!”

Hearing this bad news, Sun Hao, who was drinking and having fun, frowned suddenly, knocked the beauty next to him to the ground with a slap, and then quickly walked in front of Wang Weng. Before Wang Weng could open his mouth, Sun Hao kicked him to the ground and was about to take out a dagger.

Wang Weng's eyes widened. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! I observed the weather today and learned something important. Please listen to me!"

Sun Hao hesitated for a moment, thought about it, sighed, and put away the dagger.

"Tell me, what did you find out?"

Wang Weng quickly replied, "Your Majesty, I have discovered the presence of royal energy in Jingzhou! This rising royal energy may be detrimental to Taichu Palace!"

Sun Hao frowned immediately.

Jingzhou has royal aura? ?

Since the Later Han Dynasty, superstitious ideas have prevailed, and people have believed in observing the aura. Generally speaking, if there is royal aura in a place, it means that an emperor will be born there.

But for an emperor like Sun Hao, this was certainly not good news.

Wang Weng was ready to be chopped into pieces, but Sun Hao did not kill him.

Sun Hao pondered for a moment. The only person in Jingzhou now was Lu Kang.
However, how could Lu Kang have the aura of a king? I had just arranged a marriage with him not long ago, saying that I would marry my sister to his son.
Sun Hao suddenly realized what was going on. He grabbed Wang Weng and said, "I understand!"

"Jingzhou has the royal aura, but it is not good for Taichu Palace. Then we should leave Taichu Palace and go to a place with the royal aura!"

"I want to move the capital!!"

Mr. Wang looked at him blankly.

"what??"

Sun Hao immediately looked at his attendants, "Come here, go and call Wan Gong and the others over to me! I have something very important to discuss with them!"

Soon, Sun Hao's ministers appeared in front of him, and Sun Hao told them a very important matter.

He wants to move the capital!!
When the ministers learned that Sun Hao wanted to go to Jingnan, they felt dizzy.

Seeing that the emperor's attitude was so firm, Bu Chan proposed a tactful idea. He suggested moving the capital to Wuchang, so that it would be in Jingzhou and the emperor's safety could be guaranteed.

Sun Hao naturally agreed.

All the ministers felt helpless, but they could only do things according to Sun Hao's ideas.

Soon, Sun Hao led his ministers to leave Jianye and decided to settle in Wuchang, inherit the royal aura of Jingzhou, and complete the feat of great unification.

When Sun Hao left Jianye, the big families in various places began to become active, and a wave of revenge against Sun Hao began to brew in various places, and a conspiracy was gradually taking shape.

The difference is that this time, because of Zhong Hui's advance contact, Xiong Yi informed Wei of the conspiracy in Wu.
