Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 349

[Chapter 349]

“Father, what’s wrong with you?” Before the

housekeeper left, he saw Dou Kuang walking over.

Seeing Dou Kuang, Dou Wei was furious, he raised his arm and slapped Dou Kuang.

“Crack!” With a crisp sound, five fingerprints appeared on Dou Kuang’s face, and blood oozed from his mouth.

The butler’s body trembled, he had never seen Dou Wei put such a heavy hand on Dou Kuang.

“Go soon.” Dou Wei said this to the housekeeper.

After bowing and saluting, the butler left quickly.

Dou Kuang covered his face with a look of grievance, “Father, what did the child do wrong, why did you slap the child?”

“Why? It’s still light to hit you like this.” Dou Wei was furious, “Ma Jin is not only alive now, but also bitten Do you know that we belong to Dou’s family?”

“How is it possible?” Dou Kuang’s expression was unbelievable.

“Ma Yuan sent the papers to the emperor. Ma Jin told us all about our murder of Ma Xuan. Today the emperor has murderous intentions towards me, and it’s all thanks to you trash. Why do you think I beat you? ” Dou Wei gritted her teeth and said.

“Get out, get out now, don’t let me see you within a month, because of you, the Ma family was originally used by me, and now Ma Han is afraid that he will become the enemy of our Dou family.” Dou Wei pointed outside the door.

Dou Kuang covered his face, and argued, “But father, the boy did everything based on your words, and Dou Han was also responsible for the assassination of Ma Jin, which has nothing to do with the boy.”

“You mean it’s all for the father. Wrong, isn’t it?” Dou Wei stared at Dou Kuang.

It looked like he would kill him immediately if he refuted one more sentence.

Dou Kuang opened his mouth, finally swallowed what he wanted to say, and slowly backed out.

At this time, the housekeeper who had left turned back again.

“My lord, the third prince is here, and the younger one said that my lord doesn’t see any guests, so he insisted on barging in.” The butler looked embarrassed.

“Then let him in.” Dou Wei exhaled heavily to calm down his angry expression.

Not long after, Zhao Mu appeared in the main hall.

Seeing Dou Wei’s gloomy face, he said: “What’s going on, uncle has to excuse

his illness.” Sighing, Dou Wei told about the memorial, and at the same time told Zhao Mu what Zhao Heng reprimanded him.

“It turns out that Ma Jin must have secretly hated his uncle for sending someone to kill him, so he intentionally embarrassed him, but why should uncle worry, how can he listen to the words of a traitor,” Zhao Mu said.

“Even so, I’m afraid the emperor believes most of it in his heart.” Dou Wei frowned, “If so, I’m afraid I won’t be able to be prime minister for long.”

Hearing this, Zhao Mu felt a little worried.

If it happened to his father, he would give the position of prime minister to the Han family or the Xie family.

His throne is in danger.

Frowning tightly, he couldn’t help thinking about the solution.

After pondering for a while, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he laughed loudly, “Uncle, you are really a wise man who will never make mistakes.”

“Why do you explain this?” Dou Wei was puzzled.

Zhao Mu said: “Uncle, think about it. There are four gates in Qinzhou. Now one gate belongs to Xiliang, and the other belongs to Ma Han, but there are still two gates in the hands of the Xiao family and the Dou family. What the father fears most is war. If the powerful clan sends troops to help, he will definitely make the three families guard the pass, so what can he do to you?”

“Yes.” Dou Wei heard the words, his eyes glowed with brilliance, and he slapped his thigh, he said: “Among the princes, Your Highness is still the smartest, this great eulogy is not yours, who could it be?”

“Uncle has won the award.” Zhao Mu cupped his hands, and he said, “Uncle only needs to write a letter now, saying that the Dou family will strictly guard martial arts. Guan, father will definitely figure it out, and of course it would be best for the Xiao family to write this book together.”

Dou Wei nodded, and sighed: “I originally thought that this Wuguan would become a burden to the Dou family, but I didn’t expect there to be a positive side. Well, I will send someone to the Xiao Mansion.” After a

pause, he continued: “Also, His Highness seems to have a chance to make military meritorious service. As long as you go to Wuguan, chop off some people’s heads and say they are Ma Jin’s soldiers, that’s meritorious service.”

Zhao Mu didn’t expect this, so he couldn’t help but chuckled.

The more Dou Wei thought about it, the more complacent she became.

The only thing that makes him unhappy now is that Xiliang and Beidi may launch an attack on Wuguan.

But on that day, he will ask the imperial court to send troops to help.

His Dou family will not suffer this loss by themselves.

Thinking of this, he felt a lot more relaxed, no longer excused his illness, but sent someone to Xiao’s house, and asked Xiao Cheng to work with him.

At this moment, behind the pillars in the corridor of the main hall, Dou Kuang was watching everything with his burning face covered.

The laughter coming from the main hall made his heart ache.

Scenes from the past flashed in his mind. His father had treated the third prince as his own since he was a child, but he was ignored like a wild dog picked up from outside. This made his hatred deepen day by day.

“Third Prince, you are fine.” Dou Kuangnian said.

Clenching his fists tightly, he turned and left.

next day.

The notebooks of the two were sent to the palace.

Zhao Heng sneered after reading the memorials of the two.

It was expected that Dou Wei would take advantage of this matter, but he did not expect it to come so soon.

It is estimated that Dou Wei was really frightened by him that day.

However, this memorial added to his distrust of the powerful clan.

It’s just that since Dou Wei got the pass, he can only give the steps down, and let his Dou family temporarily guard Wuguan

until his new forbidden army is trained, and then find a way to let the forbidden army take over.

At the same time, he didn’t want to appease Dou Wei immediately.

So after five days, he decreed to reward Dou Wei and Xiao Chengqian taels of silver.

And Dou Wei got the will, and finally took a reassurance.

At the same time, Zhao Heng’s imperial decree arrived in Yancheng.

After receiving the imperial decree, Zhao Xu read the contents above and let out a sigh of relief.

Just as he expected, Zhao Heng ordered him to help Ma Han defend Qinguan to prevent Xiliang soldiers from entering the hinterland of Dasong.

Zhao Heng also affirmed his decision to withdraw troops.

In short, until the imperial court can’t be united, it is to maintain the status quo and not start a war lightly.

At the same time, there was another content in the imperial decree, which mentioned that he would make Mahan the Sizhou Shepherd.

In this way, it is tantamount to acknowledging Mahan’s position as the head of the Ma family.

“Ma Han, congratulations. It is estimated that the imperial decree will arrive in Sizhou in two days, and you will become the shepherd of Sizhou.” Zhao Xu said.

Hearing this, Ma Han didn’t feel happy at all.

Although Sizhou is the richest of the three states of the Ma family, losing two states is always a huge loss for the Ma family.

He said: “Your Highness, it doesn’t matter to me whether you are a state shepherd or not. I just hope that Your Highness can sell cannons, muskets, armor and weapons to the Ma family. I will not take back Qinzhou and Yongzhou in this lifetime. I, Ma Han, will not rest in peace.” After

confirming Ma After Jin voted for Xiliang, Chang Wei and Ma Han withdrew from Qinzhou.

At the same time, the two also brought many people who did not want to live in the shadow of Xiliang to Sizhou.

After that, Ma Han went to Yancheng and wanted to buy firearms from him.
