Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 326

[Chapter 326 A Fleeting Ambition]

Fleeting Ambition “Please rest assured, Your Highness, the Dou family will never abandon you.”

Dou Wei suddenly smiled softly.

He watched the third prince grow up, and knew that his character was suspicious.

When Dou Wei said that, Zhao Mu felt better, but his face was still full of confusion.

Seeing this, Dou Wei continued: “Sometimes you need a sword to deal with the enemy, sometimes you need a smiling face to deal with the enemy, and more often there is a sword hidden behind the smiling face, but it doesn’t matter whether the sword or the smile, in the end it will be enough as long as the enemy falls down.”

Walking back and forth Buzi, he said: “The thing about Jinzhou is the sword. Although the result was not very good, it also cost King Yan a lot of soldiers and horses. But before we find the next sharper sword, you and I need to give King Yan Smile, let us benefit the most.”

Zhao Mu nodded lightly, “I understand Uncle, on the surface, you shouldn’t offend Yan Wang too much, after all, there are some things that you can still use him.”

He knew that the Dou family imitated The Yanwang artillery failed, and the Liang family’s artillery was built, but it is still far from the Yanwang artillery.

Dou Wei nodded, thinking of something, he said, “But it’s not all bad news.”

“Oh?” Zhao Mu showed an interested look.

“King Yan’s killing of the heads of the four great families in Jinzhou has caused a lot of discussion among the rich families in the world. In recent days, many local rich families have come to me to complain and denounce King Yan.” Dou Wei said.

Zhao Mu rolled his eyes and realized suddenly.

King Yan’s deeds in Yanzhou have long dissatisfied the powerful and powerful families.

Now, the king of Yan is killing people in Jinzhou again, which shows that he doesn’t take the world’s powerful families seriously.

In this way, he completely offended Dasong’s powerful and wealthy families.

“Not to mention the original agreement between the royal family and the powerful clan, a prince without the support of the powerful clan and the powerful clan will not be able to compete with you for the throne.” Dou Wei finally said it.

In fact, another reason why he hates King Yan is that he is worried that King Yan will join the battle for the crown prince like King Jin back then.

But King Yan cut himself off from the wealthy and powerful clans, which means that he gave up his qualifications for the throne.

After all, the entire world of Dasong is maintained by the rich.

The powerful clan is nothing more than the best out of these powerful clans.

If King Yan intends to compete for the throne, the powerful families all over the world will be in panic.

I will definitely support the powerful family to stop King Yan.

“That’s exactly the reason.” Zhao Mu raised the corner of his mouth.

Not only him, even the Second Prince and the Crown Prince may have this level of worry in his heart when King Yan’s reputation is grand.

But now that the nobles are talking about King Yan so much, even if his father has such thoughts, he has to give up.

Because choosing the king of Yan is like choosing a war that affects the entire Dasong.

If one side does not fall, it will not stop.

“It’s just that even so, King Yan will still be a threat after I ascend the throne.” Zhao Mu frowned suddenly.

Dou Wei narrowed his eyes, “So we have to wait patiently for a sharper sword.”

Zhao Mu nodded slightly.

At this time, Dou Wei looked at Zhao Mu, hesitated and said, “I’ve thought about it for the past two days. Your Highness still lacks one thing to prepare for the battle of the crown prince   .

”

Words, “Among the current princes, only King Yan has made great military achievements. If His Highness can get a share of military merit, even if King Yan supports the abolition of the crown prince, then the abolished prince is not qualified to return to the position of crown prince.”

“Military achievements?” Zhao Mu frowned. Frowning, “Uncle mean to let me go to Jinzhou?”

Dou Wei shook his head, he turned to the west, “It’s Yizhou, there are often wars between the Xiao family and Tubo, and my Dou family and the Xiao family have always been on good terms , It’s okay to ask them to give you some military merit.”

Zhao Mu was excited for a while.

He is not envious of King Yan’s military achievements.

If he can make military achievements, he will be even better in front of the second prince and prince.

Dou Wei continued, “When you have achieved military merits, I will gather the strength of the Xiao family, the Dou family, and the Ma family to protect you as the crown prince.”

“Thank you, uncle.” Zhao Mu was overjoyed.

Then he chatted a lot of gossip with Dou Wei, and we will meet late at night.

A few more days passed.

Zhao Xu’s book about winning the same pass came to the capital again, making the already happy atmosphere in the capital even more heated.

After reading the scriptures, Zhao Heng broke into a cold sweat.

After winning Tongguan, Jinzhou is truly in the hands of Da Song from now on.

What he didn’t expect was that Beidi had such sinister intentions.

If King Yan’s soldiers and horses hadn’t captured Tongguan in time, Dasong would never have peace once it fell into Beidi’s hands.

“Liang Cheng, who do you think is the most suitable to go to Jinzhou? Now that Jinzhou is won, it can’t be lost. There must be a reliable person in charge of Jinzhou.” Zhao Heng said.

The smile on Liang Cheng’s face formed a flower, “Actually, the emperor already has a candidate in his mind that day when he visited the garden.”

“You old fox.” Zhao Heng laughed.

He had indeed found a candidate, and this person was none other than Ma Yuan.

First, Ma Yuan has a very good personal relationship with King Yan, and King Yan will not embarrass him.

The second Ma Yuan is the Ma family, he chose the Ma family, so what can Ma Chong and Ma Jin say?

Thirdly, he understands Ma Yuan’s temperament and will definitely manage Jinzhou well for him.

Therefore, the candidate for Jinzhou Shepherd must be Ma Yuan.

“However, Ma Yuan is good at government affairs, but not good at leading the army, so he needs someone to help him.” Zhao Heng frowned, “Why don’t we just let Mo Kuan go.” The

Mo family has always been loyal to the court.

At present, only when Mo Kuan goes to Jinzhou to lead the army, can he feel at ease.

Although these two people often spoke for King Yan, but only out of public interest, so he didn’t think they would obey King Yan.

Liang Cheng nodded and said with a smile: “The emperor is wise.”

Zhao Heng was very satisfied with his decision, and then he remembered another important thing.

It is said that King Yan used another firearm in Jinzhou this time. It is said that the firearms in Shenji Camp are very similar.

In the past, he only used the Shenji Battalion as a guard of honor, but he didn’t expect this kind of thing to be able to fight wars.

But whether it is this kind of thing like a fire stick, or artillery, armor, King Yan seems to be very good at it.

This time, he wanted to formally give King Yan a military supply list to purchase armor and firearms for the imperial imperial army to enhance their combat power.

Thinking of this, he suddenly looked into the mirror on the desk, and there were strands of white hair between his temples.

With a shock in his heart, he suddenly felt mixed feelings.

Since he ascended the throne, he has been under the control of the Dou family, and has been in a daze for decades, indulging in pleasure and unable to extricate himself.

But now, he suddenly wanted to do something big.

Jinzhou was reintroduced into the territory of Dasong, so now the only one who has fallen into the enemy’s hands is Ning Jindusi.

If Ning Jin Dusi can be taken back again, there is no doubt that he will become the eternal sage and be sung by historians.

But when he thought of Beidi, he felt another wave of fear.

It was a nightmare that would wake him up at night.

Shaking his head, he put this unrealistic thought behind him.

Then he took up the pen to write the imperial decree, stamped it with a big seal, and sent it to Yanzhou.
