Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 44

[Chapter 44]

“So the Ninth Prince has really recovered from his illness and recovered as before.” Beside the

lotus pond, Liang Cheng stared at the floats in the water, his thoughts spinning.

The Ninth Prince had been stupid for three years, but he recovered from his illness in three months in Yan County, which really surprised him.

However, it was not his arrangement for the Ninth Prince to go to Yan County.

But Zhang Han arranged to go there after he received the money, and he also ordered the sale of the courtyard of the palace.

Does the prince know?

Now that he knew about it, but sent gifts to his door, it can be seen that after the Ninth Prince recovered from his illness, his head became brighter and he also had a scheming heart.

You can tell which is more important, and you won’t be angry at him just because he sold the house.

“Xiao Nu has seen it with his own eyes, there is no falsehood.” Hao Nu bowed his head.

“Then let him in!” Liang Cheng said after pondering for a while.

Hao Nu left and led Guan Zhong in.

Seeing Liang Cheng, Guan Zhong bowed to the next two servants.

The servant immediately brought the silver and opened it in front of Liang Cheng.

“My lord, these are some small gifts from His Highness, totaling 10,000 taels of silver. One is to thank Your Excellency for Liu Fu’s care when he was in the capital, and the other is to hope that His Excellency will take care of His Highness’s business in the capital.”

Liang Cheng has a reputation for greed. No one knows.

Therefore, those who asked Liang Cheng for work with money almost broke the door.

As long as you have money, you can buy relationships from him, and even buying an official position is not a problem.

“Business?” Liang Cheng showed an expression of interest.

Guan Zhong nodded.

This is also one of King Yan’s orders to him.

Liang Cheng, a close minister of the emperor, has seen too much silver and treasures.

Ten thousand taels of silver was nothing to him.

I’m afraid it’s hard for him to be moved by these alone.

Therefore, after the Huang and Du families were expelled from the firm, King Yan took out the members of the two families and prepared to try Liang Cheng.

“Recently, the hot ice business in Jinling belongs to His Highness, and His Highness is going to hand over 20% of the profits to Your Excellency.” Guan Zhong said.

Hearing this, Liang Cheng finally turned around and looked straight at Guan Zhong.

Putting down the fishing rod, he stood up, “It turns out that this is His Highness King Yan’s business, rare, rare.”

He had heard about this incident.

Although his mansion is not short of ice, the rest of Jinling City is short of ice.

This business really made money. It is said that many dignitaries have used their brains to inquire about it.

As far as he knows, the ice in this firm is not shipped from Yan County, but made by the firm.

It’s even more fun that way.

If there is a way to make ice, who wouldn’t want to keep it for himself?

He wanted it too, but he didn’t want to compete with others, offending them.

After all, not everyone gave him face.

Of course it would be best if King Yan came to your door.

In addition to King Yan’s reputation, the money will be more stable.

“Also, His Highness wants you to forward a letter to Mr. Mi Gui, and tell you about the more profitable business in the capital in the future, and you will not treat you badly.” Guan Zhong presented the letter.

Liang Cheng accepted it with a smile, “The King of Yan is really generous, please tell His Highness the King of Yan, this trivial matter

is nothing to worry about.” “Thank you, Master Manager.” Guan Zhong thanked him and bowed out.

Liang Cheng nodded, and after Guan Zhong left, he tore open the envelope, seeing that it was just words of missing Mi Guiren, he put the letter in.

“During these days, the emperor is worrying about the self-respect of the Yuan family’s soldiers. If he learns that the ninth prince has recovered from his brain disease, he should be happy. Hey, this is considered unintentional, Liu Chengyin.” Liang Cheng whispered. , “Come here, change clothes, let’s enter the palace.”

…

Zijin Palace, South Study Room.

Emperor Zhao Heng looked at the Dasong map on the wall with mixed feelings in his heart.

Dasong has been established for more than 200 years, and sixteen emperors have been handed down. In his hands, the long-standing abuses have made the once powerful dynasty gradually difficult to control.

He was only twenty-six years old when he took the throne, but when he wanted to exercise his rights, he found a lot of resistance.

Over the years, in countless frontier wars, the Forbidden Army directly under the Dasong Royal suffered heavy losses time and time again, greatly weakening their strength.

The huge consumption of the war has gradually emptied the treasury.

Faced with such a predicament, the two emperors before him had to rely heavily on the power of the clan to resist foreign aggression, and allowed the clan to recruit soldiers to the frontier to participate in the war.

But this gave the powerful clan a chance to support themselves.

This has resulted in the current situation where the Dasong Forbidden Army and the local powerful army are divided into courts.

And holding the army in hand gives the powerful family confidence in the court.

Since he ascended the throne, he has been constrained everywhere, unable to move an inch, just like a marionette.

In desperation, he indulged in wine and sex, and began to neglect government affairs.

More than twenty years have passed, and he is used to this kind of life. As long as it doesn’t affect his enjoyment, let it be a flood.

Putting down the imperial pen, he didn’t bother to read it again.

Anyway, Prime Minister Dou Wei has already made up his mind, and it doesn’t make much difference whether he approves or not.

It’s better to think about which concubine to sleep with tonight.

Just as she was about to return to the palace, Liang Chengmei came over with a smile.

Zhao Hengdao: “Aren’t you not on duty today? Why are you here?”

When he was still the prince, Liang Cheng served him.

When he ascended the throne, Liang Cheng made great efforts, so he has always been close and trusting to Liang Cheng.

“Hey, Your Majesty, happy event, happy event.” Liang Cheng came to Zhao Heng’s side and whispered something in his ear.

“The Ninth Prince has recovered from his brain disease?” Zhao Heng was slightly surprised.

“This is true.” Liang Cheng took out Zhao Xu’s letter.

Zhao Heng took it out and looked at it. It was indeed Zhao Xu’s note.

Before Zhao Xu went crazy, Zhao Xu had always been the most diligent in studying among the princes, and his handwriting was also the most beautiful.

“…” After being stunned for a while, Zhao Heng didn’t have any emotional ups and downs.

In the harem, almost all his concubines came from Da Song’s powerful family.

Only his mother was valued by him and included in the harem because of her beauty during the draft.

At that time, he did have a loving period with Zhao Xu’s mother, but was soon replaced by her.

After all, as an emperor, he has always been exposed to rain and dew in the harem.

As for Zhao Xu, he really didn’t pay much attention to it.

This world was jointly conquered by the nine powerful clans back then.

His Zhao family was elected as the royal family because it was the strongest of the nine powerful families.

So in Dasong, the prince whose mother’s family is not a powerful family is in a miserable situation.

Even he ascended to the throne with the support of the powerful family back then.

For such a prince, at best he will be an idler in the future, which is of no great use.

He just turned a blind eye to other princes bullying Zhao Xu.

After Zhao Xu went crazy, it was rumored in the palace this year that he and Zhao Xu were in conflict.

So he hated him completely, and sent him to Yanzhou to let him fend for himself.

But now Liang Cheng told him that King Yan’s brain disease had recovered.

“Since it’s done, let him stay in Yan County well.” Zhao Heng threw the letter on the ground and walked towards the harem.

Liang Cheng had a smile on his face all the time. Hearing this, he whispered something to Zhao Heng.

Zhao Heng’s footsteps stopped abruptly, his eyes widened with an incredulous expression.
