Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 227

[Chapter 227 Wild Hope]

night is getting dark.

The Tiemu Pagoda is still waiting quietly in the Honglu Posthouse in Jinling, which specially entertains envoys.

At midnight, footsteps were heard outside his door.

Then, under the guidance of an official from Honglu Temple, seven people in black robes walked in.

“Dou Kuang, the eldest son of Dou, Wang Bi, the eldest son of Wang, Han Xin, the eldest son of Han, Fan Tong, the eldest son of Fan, Liang Feng, the eldest son of Liang, Xiao He, the eldest son of Xiao, and Xie An, the eldest son of Xie,” the officials of Honglu Temple have always said. tower presentation.

Tie Muta was stunned, and laughed loudly, “Fortunately, fortunately, I didn’t expect to see seven of the eight princes of Jinling today. It’s just a pity that the Ma family is missing.”

“Ma Han returned to Qinzhou two years ago He has always been at odds with us…” Dou Kuang snorted coldly, but he only spoke half of what he said, as if he didn’t want to reveal too much.

Hearing this, Tiemuta’s pupils dilated slightly, but immediately returned to normal.

For him, he needs every piece of important information.

He smiled a few times, pretending to be surprised, and asked, “I wonder what the seven young masters are here for?”

“Master envoy, why pretend to be confused, but you begged to see us,” Han Xin said.

The Beidi officials behind the iron-wooden tower suddenly showed a fierce look in their eyes.

In front of these Dasong clans is the son of Beidi Khan, the future heir to the Khan throne, and they dare to speak so rudely.

Tie Muta was displeased, but he coughed lightly to stop the anger of the accompanying officials.

But this proves from the side that no one in Da Song knows his true identity.

“My lord envoy, don’t blame him, he is just like this.” Wang Bi immediately smoothed things over, showing a bit of tact and sophistication.

The fact that each family sent their eldest sons this time is to show that the clans attach great importance to this visit.

He didn’t want to break up because of Han Xin’s bad temper.

“It doesn’t matter, what Mr. Han said is very true. Since you can come this time, you are naturally willing to deal with Beidi in private.” Tie Muta said.

Dou Kuang nodded, “This time, what we want to say to the envoy is that our seven families have always maintained harmony and are willing to serve as a bridge between Beidi and Dasong, turning hostility into jade.

” The situation turned into a two-horse race.

Next, Beidi is bound to continue to set off wars.

After discussing it, their father concluded that this was a crisis for Da Song, but it was an opportunity for them to profit.

If you show your peaceful attitude to Beidi, you can get the approval of Beidi people.

If Beidi wins the country in the future, they will also have a way out.

Secondly, as long as there is war, there will be war money.

Repeatedly jumping between Dasong and Beidi will naturally benefit the most.

In the last years of the Wu Dynasty, just like today’s Da Song, there were constant wars with the northern grassland country.

The six powerful families in the Wu Dynasty at that time belonged to the Zhuhe faction just like they do now.

They not only fight against the steppe country with the royal family of the Wu Dynasty, but also have inextricable connections with the steppe country in private.

While taking the royal silver, it also has frequent trade exchanges with the grassland country, which can be said to have taken advantage of it.

Afterwards, the royal family of the Wu Dynasty and the Grassland Empire became weaker and weaker due to the war, while the six major clans became stronger and stronger. Finally, they overthrew the Wu Dynasty and established the Liang Dynasty.

Then they defeated the grassland country in the Northern Expedition and established the hegemony of the Liang Dynasty.

Among them, the most powerful family was elected as the new royal family.

Now, a similar era is upon us.

This is undoubtedly an opportunity for them.

“Hmph… You guys should stop being lenient and just say what do you want from Beidi?” Tie Muta glanced at the seven of them.

The cliches didn’t work for him.

“Master Envoy is really a straightforward person. We want to trade with Beidi privately. We want war horses, tendons, horns, and furs.” Dou Kuang said.

Tiemu Tower frowned.

All the things that the powerful people want are materials needed for war.

Needless to say, war horses, tendons and horns can be used to make bows and arrows, and fur can be used as the lining of armor.

It’s just that the transaction is equal, and the powerful people can’t come up with the bargaining chips he wants, so he won’t agree to this matter, so he said: “It’s very simple, this trade can be carried out from Jinzhou and from the sea, but What can you give Beidi?” The

seven people looked at each other.

Dou Kuang said: “We have already helped you, you don’t really think that we believe the Yuan family is innocent, do you? With the Yuan family here, we can restrain the King Yan who you hate the most in Beidi, right?”

Tie Mu Ta was taken aback.

But he will not be deceived by a brat like Dou Kuang, “This matter is not counted. You are doing this for your own sake. If you don’t show sincerity, go back.”

Dou Kuang frowned. My father once said that Beidi envoys would not be dismissed so easily.

So he took out a note from his pocket and handed it to Tiemuta.

“This is our sincerity. Please believe me, my lord envoy, that we are by no means Beidi’s enemies,” Dou Kuang said.

Tie Muta took the note, glanced at it, his expression changed slightly, and then

he showed a big smile, “Deal.” This time he bet right, these powerful clans are really only looking for profit.

Give them a little sweetness now, and they’ll be more willing to take the risk.

And this should be regarded as a meeting ceremony for Beidi to make friends with the Dasong clan.

One day, they may continue to cooperate with Beidi.

After discussing the matter of private trade, Dou Kuang and others left under the leadership of Honglu Temple officials.

Get in the carriage.

Coming out of the post house at Honglu Temple,

Dou Kuang looked back sarcastically, “People in Beidi are really stupid, this time they are really empty-handed wolves

.” Han Xin laughed.

Fan Tong showed displeasure, and said to Dou Kuang, “What did you write on the paper you gave to the Beidi people?”

He had no idea what was on the paper.

So when he came out of the post house, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

Dou Kuang said, “Not only you don’t know, but other people don’t know either. The less you know about this matter, the better.” After a

pause, he continued: “But what I can tell you is that this is a strategy against King Yan. The Yuan family may not be able to suppress the king of Yan, so they need to borrow the hands of Beidi, so that we can benefit from their fighting with each other.”

Han Xin and others wanted to ask, but Fan Tong was the first to say, they He was about to question Dou Kuang, but when he heard what he said, he simply shut up.

As Dou Kuang said, they want Beidi, Dasong, King Yan, and the Yuan family to fight each other.

Among the four, they will help whoever is weak. In this way, they will all ask for them.

In this way, their profits will naturally be the greatest.

each dispersed.

Dou Kuang returned to the prime minister’s office.

Seeing that the light was still on in his father’s study, he walked over and knocked on the door.

Hearing “Come in”, he walked in.

“Father, my son has met the envoy of Beidi, and he agreed. This time, our seven families can trade privately with Beidi. The envoy of Beidi said that the trade can be done in Jinzhou or at sea. They have some merchant ships that can reach Yuan’s house.” Fan Yang can also reach the Qizhou of the Han family.” Dou Kuang lowered his head, not daring to look up at his father.

Although Dou Wei always looks easy-going in front of courtiers, he knows how serious Dou Wei is at home.

“Well, the Ma family is fighting. In the past, this deal was not allowed in Jinzhou, but if our plan with Beidi is successful this time, it will not be a problem.” Dou Wei said.

Coughing a few times, he said again: “But for the sake of safety, we can trade in Qizhou at the same time, and the Han family is also involved in this matter. We are all on the same boat, so don’t worry.”

When Dou Wei spoke, his eyes kept Stay on a piece of paper.

This is information from Yanzhou.

Since the king of Yan took charge of Yanzhou, he sent the Dou family’s eyeliner to Yanzhou to collect information.

So even though he was in Jinling, he knew exactly what was happening in Yanzhou.

After reading the content on the paper, he frowned, and seeing Dou Kuang standing in front of him, he said, “Come and take a look, too.”

Dou Kuang leaned over, and his expression changed after only one glance, “Father, what ‘s the matter with you?” King Yan is so bold, isn’t this digging into the foundation of our family!”
