Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 2

[Chapter 2 The Return of the King]

“Your Highness, what are you doing with the inkstone?”

Zhang Han noticed the blood on the inkstone and stuttered in fright.

“Come on, Your Highness is crazy again, take him back!”

His words stopped abruptly, and Zhao Xu knocked on his forehead with an inkstone.

With a sound of “Boom!”, Zhang Han rolled his eyes and fell to the ground, blood flowed from his head, he didn’t know whether he was dead or alive.

Feng’er and Luan’er looked terrified and took a few steps back.

From their point of view, Zhao Xu’s madness has occurred again, and it might be their turn next.

Zhao Xu was startled.

In order to alleviate the awkward atmosphere, he bared his teeth and showed a smile.

These two little maidservants have a peach blossom face, red phoenix eyes, and a charming appearance.

She has almond-shaped eyes, an oval face, and a charming demeanor, all of which have snow-like skin, graceful and slim.

But what Zhao Xu didn’t know was that to them, his smile was more like the smile of a murderer.

So the two huddled together like bunnies.

“Feng’er, Luan’er, what’s wrong with you? Is this king scary?” Zhao Xu spread his hands, realizing that he was still holding the inkstone in his hand, and he threw it on the ground.

“Your Highness…”

Feng’er and Luan’er were shocked and unbelievable when they heard the words.

Since the Ninth Prince was crazy and stupid, he never said a word, and only made a sound like “ahhhh”.

“What? The king’s madness has been cured, are you not happy?” Zhao Xu sat down on the chair.

He had to declare to the whole palace that he was neither crazy nor stupid.

Only in this way can he go with the flow and regain his authority as king of Yan.

“Your Highness can really talk!” Feng’er held Luan’er’s arm tightly, another normal sentence from Zhao Xu made them burst into tears instantly.

They have no relatives, and they only have the Nine Princes as their companions when they come to this remote frontier.

Even if the Ninth Prince’s madness improved a little, they would be happy for a few days.

What’s more, now the Ninth Prince has a normal speech.

Feng’er was courageous, and took a few steps forward, eyes full of expectation, and asked, “If Your Highness really recovers, how can I know my identity?”

“This king is Zhao Xu, the Ninth Prince of Dasong.” Zhao Xu The corner of Xu’s mouth raised, “If you don’t believe me, you can ask something more intimate.” When the

two heard this, red clouds flew up their cheeks.

A handmaiden is different from a handmaiden.

Cleaning and boiling water, washing and cooking are only handmaids.

And they are closer, responsible for Zhao Xu’s diet and daily life.

“Quick, quick…”

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of chaotic footsteps from outside.

The servant who was knocked out by Zhao Xu was holding his head, and rushed in with seven servants in Tsing Yi.

“Lord Wang Fu!”

Zhao Xu’s servant saw Zhang Han lying in a pool of blood and cried out in grief.

Pointing to Zhao Xu who was sitting on the chair, he turned his head and said viciously to the other servants: “What are you still doing in a daze! Take this mad king back.” The

servants thought this was just another farce of the mad king, so they rushed forward.

“My king’s insanity has been cured. If you are not afraid of death, just come here.” Zhao Xu shouted and assumed the king’s posture.

The more critical the situation is, the less cowardly you can be.

The situation in the palace is very dangerous, and he must put all his eggs in one basket.

“Your Highness can speak!”

Hearing this, the servant stepped back a few steps as if he had seen a ghost.

“Presumptuous! You all get out, Your Highness is fine now.” Feng’er scolded.

They will not let these people lock the Ninth Prince in the bedroom again.

“Nonsense! King Yan’s insanity is cured, how could he beat Master Wang Fu like this.” The guardian suddenly panicked.

In the past three months, he and Zhang Han knew how Zhao Xu was treated behind the back of the palace.

If King Yan returns to normal, he will surely die.

Therefore, it is best for King Yan to be crazy. If he is not crazy, he must be crazy. He must not be allowed to control the power of

the palace. It’s a capital crime to humiliate this king, someone, come and take him down.” Zhao Xu angrily reprimanded.

“Hahaha… Can you believe the words of a lunatic? These two sluts must have used the lunatic king to murder Wang Fu, steal the power of Yan County, and arrest them together.” Zhao Xu must be arrested.

It’s just that before he took the second step, he heard a muffled “boom”.

The guardian guard fell straight down again.

A servant in his early twenties, with a square head and a square face, and a jujube complexion was standing behind the guardian servant, with the stick in his hand still in mid-air.

“Hey, little servant, how dare you offend the king of Yan, you want to die.” The young servant showed sarcasm.

Everyone in the dormitory was stunned.

Zhao Xu came back to his senses and asked with a smile, “What’s your name? You have a future. From today onwards, this king will entitle you to be a servant of the royal family and serve him.”

Some servants chose to stand by him to give him confidence. greatly increased.

Reward him immediately to sway the minds of others.

“Little Liu Fu, thank Your Highness for your kindness.” Ding Xi, the young man, smiled all over his face, dropped his stick, and knelt on the ground to thank him again and again.

When the other servants saw each other, they looked at each other, rolled up their sleeves and punched and kicked the guardian servant with all their might.

Usually, the guardian Ding relied on Zhang Han to run amok in the palace.

Now the direction of the palace is about to change. Of course, if there is revenge, if there is resentment, he can take the opportunity to show his loyalty to King Yan.

“Those who know the current affairs are heroes, that’s right, I’ll also promote you to high-class servants, as long as you are loyal to this king, your benefits will be indispensable.” Zhao Xu gave them a “you understand” look.

“Thank you, Your Highness.” Jia Ding knelt down and kowtowed.

Yan Wang’s words are so sharp, it is just that he has returned to normal.

“Drag Zhang Han and this dog slave, and kill them the next day.” Zhao Xu waved his hand at this moment.

He was right. A prince with a normal mind is still intimidating in the palace.

“I don’t know what happened to the fiefdom because of Zhang Han’s scourge?”

Watching the servant leave, he suddenly remembered the current situation, and another ten thousand grass and mud horses galloped in his heart.

Judging from memory.

The world he came to seems to be a parallel time and space.

Except for some ancient myths and legends, the history here is completely different from the present.

There is no Qin Shihuang who unified the six countries, no Han Wudi who chased the Xiongnu north, and no prosperous Tang Dynasty.

It has its own unique developmental trajectory.

Therefore, it is impossible to measure the history here with the eyes of contemporary history.

After all, the development of history is accidental, and the choice of a historical figure can make the entire civilization leap forward or backward.

And there have been many wonderful characters in the history here.

“Over two hundred and forty years since the founding of Dasong, the imperial power and powerful clans have jointly ruled the world. Now that the imperial power has declined, the power is almost controlled by the eight powerful clans.” Zhao Xu searched in his memory.

More than two hundred years is basically the life cycle of a dynasty.

The same is true for Dasong. After more than two hundred years, the accumulated disadvantages are hard to get rid of, and the land annexation has reached the extreme. It can be said that the rich have endless fields, and the poor have no place to stand.

In recent years, Wang, Dou, Ma, Han, Liang, Fan, Xie, Xiao, and the eight major clans have become increasingly independent.

In the north, a Jurchen tribe named Beidi rose up, with the ambition to rule the Central Plains.

In the northwest, a Xianbei tribe called Xiliang also fought against Dasong every year.

Tubo in the southwest, Cochin Man and Pyu Man in the south are also not good.

At sea, pirates from Japan and Korea are rampant, and it is rumored that there are privateers from the West with artillery running rampant in the depths of the ocean.

Therefore, in order to prevent coastal profiteers from colluding with pirates to plunder the coast, Da Song banned the sea a hundred years ago.

All of the above, today’s great song can be said to be leaky and rainy all night, and it is in danger of overturning at any time.

And his fief was unfortunately in one of these vortexes of conflict, the most dangerous one.

There are 21 prefectures across the country, and each prefecture has seven counties.

Yan County, where he lives, is located at the northernmost tip of the Dasong territory, directly facing Beidi, which claims to have a million cavalry.

Although Dasong is in danger of mountains and rivers, it is temporarily impossible for Beidi to break through the northern border.

But every autumn and winter, a large group of Beidi cavalry entered Yanzhou from the Yanshan Trail to loot.

To the west of Yanzhou, Xiliang has already encroached on Jinzhou, which is adjacent to Yanzhou.

If Jinzhou falls, Yanzhou will be attacked on both sides.

In this kind of place, not to mention that his fiefdom has become barren due to looting, he is afraid that the head of the city will soon change the banner of the king.

“This start is too difficult…” Zhao Xu looked confused. Compared with the current crisis, Zhang Han is nothing more than a fish.

The deformed history makes Dasong’s technological level equivalent to the contemporary Song and Yuan Dynasties.

But the West already has warships loaded with artillery, and this is at least what it looked like after the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

He was muttering to himself, when suddenly he felt his head shake, and countless data, formulas, drawings, and technical processes erupted in his mind like a volcano.

“Biochip!” Zhao Xu was shocked.

It turned out that this is a cutting-edge scientific research, which is more advanced than the so-called brain-computer interface of Max in a certain country.

All knowledge from ancient times to the present, as well as the most advanced technology at present, are stored in this biochip.

As long as the chip is connected to the human brain, the human brain is equivalent to loading a hard disk and mastering all the knowledge in it.

“It turns out that the experiment was not a scam.” Zhao Xu’s heart beat uncontrollably. There is no doubt that the knowledge in the biochip traveled with him.

With this, maybe all is not so bad.
