Lu Zhengyuan stood up, exuding a sense of majesty.

yes!

Wang Pu thought to himself that this was not a big lie. Although King Linxian was one of the earliest three kings, he might not be as important as King Anping now.

What he didn't know was that Lu Zhengyuan actually had something to say.

If he hadn't waited for His Majesty to come and harvest, he would have deposed King Linxian long ago...

Your Majesty should be back soon.

Although the affairs of the Southern Dynasties are not in trouble, they cannot be delayed for too long.

Before that, we should show our majesty, or wait for His Majesty to come and take over the Southern Dynasty smoothly.

Try not to start a war. The situation in Jianghuai and Jianghuai is hard-won and cannot be destroyed...

"Pass this message down and hold a meeting of the four kings!"

"yes!"

Wang Pu's eyes were full of excitement, King Anping was about to show off his power!

The Four Kings Meeting is the highest decision-making meeting in the Southern Dynasties. Every prince has the right to convene it. Lu Zhengyuan is the King of Anping, so he is certainly qualified to convene it, but he has never convened it.

He has always acted like a good old man, and he gets along well with everyone. In the eyes of everyone, he is a person who is dedicated to the public good.

Lu Zhengyuan thought to himself.

This is the first time a meeting has been held, and it should also be the last time. There is no need for a Southern Dynasty that does not pay taxes to the court...

There is a round table in the middle of the unpretentious and majestic hall, with four princes from the Southern Dynasties sitting in a circle.

The meeting of the four kings is also called the round table meeting.

This was proposed by Lu Zhengyuan.

All kings are equal, and there is no distinction between high and low. Earlier, Wen Xu and Dong Zheng were competing because of the endless disputes over their seats.

Later, Lu Zhengyuan suggested that we sit around a round table, so there would be no order of seating.

On the periphery, there is a large round table around which officials sit.

As the highest level of discussion, it is only for discussing major plans, not weight-based, and everyone is equal.

Lu Zhengyuan's proposal was recognized by everyone.

Of course, there was another person sitting alone in a high position, and that was Emperor Yongtai of the Southern Dynasty.

The Southern Dynasty was established and the country was named Kang.

It was under the banner of restoring the previous dynasty that he unknowingly called him Hou Kang.

The new emperor ascended the throne and was named the first year of Yongtai, also known as Yongtai Emperor.

Emperor Yongtai was sleeping drowsily on the dragon throne. He is eighty-four years old this year...

No one pays attention to him, everyone knows that he is just a puppet emperor, and the four kings are the real ones who call the shots!

Each sat down.

Zhennan Wang Dongzheng smiled and said: "This is the first time you have convened a meeting, Lao Lu. It is really strange. Is there any big event?"

"It sounds like it's time to discuss it. If we refuse to pay the royal taxes this year, we will be ready for war..."

"yes!"

Wen Xu also echoed: "This year we can't just add to the jokes like last year."

"That won't happen."

Dong Zheng said: "Now the Southern Dynasty is prospering, the people in the city live and work in peace and contentment, and the people's hearts and minds have also been united... They have the power to fight against the Northern Dynasty!"

He paused and added: "Of course, this is all thanks to King Anping."

Dong Zheng sincerely admired Lu Zhengyuan for being able to restore a Southern Dynasty that was on the verge of collapse...

Lu Zhengyuan's face was expressionless.

This is actually true.

In fact, it is very easy to destroy the Southern Dynasty. Just letting them fight internally will lead to the collapse of the Southern Dynasty.

But he didn't do that.

A stable Southern Dynasty is more beneficial to Daning than a dilapidated Southern Dynasty.

If Jianghuai is rich, Daning will be full.

He was not for Southern Dynasty, but for Daning!

"I wonder if King Anping has anything to discuss?"

The mature Wang Fangjie of Huai'an asked: He is still the most powerful person in the Southern Dynasty, and he is in charge of one hundred thousand Southern Dynasty troops.

"Just now, I learned that there was a new appointment in the Ministry of Personnel."

Lu Zhengyuan said calmly: "The doctor in the household department of Cao Jie was removed and Shi Yigong took over... I would like to ask, why is this?"

"King Anping, what the four kings are discussing are major events in the Southern Dynasties. It's just such a small matter. There's no need to mention it here, right?"

After Lu Zhengyuan finished speaking, Wen Xu spoke immediately.

Lu Zhengyuan had such a big reaction just because Cao Jie was moved.

But then again.

The Department of Cleaning and Officials of the Ministry of Revenue is the most important department of the Ministry of Revenue, and Cao Jie is also a close confidant of Lu Zhengyuan... Therefore, it was expected that he would be emotional, but he did not expect that the discussion of the Four Kings was mentioned.

"Is this a small thing?"

Lu Zhengyuan's voice rose a bit.

"Someone is already poaching Nanchao. Is this still a small matter?"

"King Anping's words are serious."

"The Department of Household Affairs is the largest official department in the Department of Household Affairs. Farm law, examination law... Many important tasks are here, but a new Shi Yigong has been appointed. This person is very good at flattering people, but he has no talent at all!"

Lu Zhengyuan turned to Zhao Yang, the Minister of Civil Affairs.

"The entrance examination method is implemented by the Ministry of Personnel. Every official must undergo a performance appraisal before being promoted. How did you promote Shi Yigong? Did you accept bribes, did you seek nepotism, and did you have any selfish motives?"

He asked three questions in succession, leaving Zhao Yang speechless.

"The removal of Zhao Yang from the post of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs is the topic of this king's agenda."

After saying this, everyone was shocked.

Everyone knows that Zhao Yang, the Minister of Civil Affairs, is Wen Xu's man and his right.

If he loses the title of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Wen Xuxu will only have the title of king but no real power.

The good old man showed his fangs, if you want to touch my people, I will destroy your foundation.

They didn't know that Lu Zhengyuan had already begun to prepare for His Majesty to take over the Southern Dynasty.

The abbot of Daning wanted to share the worries of His Majesty, and he even wanted to do it beforehand.
