Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 458

[Chapter 458]

Willow shoots on the moon.

The banquet lasted for an hour before they broke up.

Zhao Heng went back to rest, Zhao Xu led the officials and generals out of the courtyard, and rode towards the palace.

“Hahaha…Your Highness, how is the final performance?” Halfway through the walk, Zhongli laughed.

Liu Fu and other officials and other generals also laughed when they heard this.

“Very good. You are all heroes for bringing the three southern counties into the feudal land this time.” Zhao Xu said with a smile.

Before this banquet, he discussed with Liu Fu, Zhong Li and others.

It is to sing a red and white face at the banquet.

Last time, Zhao Heng and the Shizu teamed up to wear small shoes for him and asked him to play balance with the Yuan family in Yanzhou.

This time, he would not give Zhao Heng another chance to collude with the powerful clan.

At the banquet just now, even in the face of the anger of Zhong Li and others, Zhao Heng did not let go.

It wasn’t until he bluntly said that he sometimes couldn’t control the officials and generals under his command that Zhao Heng gave in.

He believed that Zhao Heng had realized the meaning hidden in his words.

Yes, he was threatening Zhao Heng.

Don’t blame him for not cooperating if he doesn’t give any real benefits this time.

The battle in the northern border is not over yet, and the direction of the battlefield is entirely in his hands.

“It’s just Your Highness. If the Emperor goes back and thinks about it carefully, he may be able to guess that this is me and Your Highness singing the oboe.” Liu Fu was a little worried, “If the Emperor annoys His Highness just because of this, the loss outweighs the gain.”

Zhao Heng chuckled, ” Why wait until you go back, he has already seen it at the banquet, otherwise he would not let go.”

After a pause, he continued: “Furthermore, the Northern Expedition failed, and the imperial army lost a lot. Next, he will need this king to contain the powerful clan, and maybe he will take the initiative to provoke the king to fight against the powerful clan. It’s just asking for some benefits in advance, if he doesn’t give it, I won’t bother to talk to him.”

Liu Fu suddenly understood.

Yan Wang thought much deeper than them.

When they arrived at the gate of the palace, everyone bid farewell to Zhao Xu and dispersed.

At this time, in Zhang’s mansion, Zhao Heng was tossing and turning while lying on the bed.

In the middle of the night, he sat up from the bed, and said angrily: “This Zhao Xu, actually acted in such a play to force me to reward him with the three southern counties of Yanzhou, it’s simply abominable!”

Then, he sighed again, and thought to himself Yan Wang thought simply.

How could it be possible that King Yan, who had repeatedly defeated Beidi and made extraordinary tricks, was so easy to get along with.

Suddenly, he felt annoyed again.

Thinking of the fact that he wavered in front of Beidi’s envoy last time, I’m afraid King Yan already knew about it.

He, the ninth son, was disgusted by him because of his stupidity and sent to Yan County to fend for himself.

Facing the crisis, he wanted to betray him again in exchange for his own glory and wealth.

There is also the idea of using the Yuan family to contain him, how could this Yan Wang have no opinion on him.

This banquet was a way for him to vent his dissatisfaction.

At the same time, prevent him and the powerful family from erasing his credit again.

“No, I am Emperor Dasong. I can give him whatever I want. How could he snatch it like this?” Thinking of something, Zhao Heng was furious. It’s really that the wings are stiff and the courage is getting fatter.”

After being sullen for a while, Zhao Heng lay back on the bed again.

Now, he is in the land of King Yan, what can he do to King Yan?

And he will rely heavily on King Yan in the future, let alone move him.

If King Yan is moved, I will really let Dou Wei and other powerful officials decide from now on.

Therefore, at the moment, he really has to coax King Yan a little bit.

That’s why he agreed to give the entire Yanzhou to King Yan at the banquet.

Secondly, King Yan not only made great military exploits this time, but also rescued him.

Yuan Li committed the crime of collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country again.

If you protect Yuan Li again, it will be unreasonable to suppress King Yan.

It will also annoy King Yan.

Instead of this, it’s better to be straightforward, King Yan is happy, and then he can cooperate with him to resolve the current war.

That’s what matters.

As for the future, he has to wait until the war is over and he returns to the capital.

Thinking of this, he fell into a drowsy sleep.

next day.

Before he woke up, he heard the second prince making noise in the yard.

Under Xiao Shishi’s service, he put on his regular clothes and after washing, he summoned the second prince.

“Father, the King of Yan is too despicable. He got his sons and father drunk and took the opportunity to ask for the entire seven counties of Yanzhou. This is no different from deceiving the king.” The second prince almost jumped up.

Zhao Heng had already figured it out last night, so what the second prince said would not affect his decision at all.

Besides, in King Yan’s territory, the walls have ears, and if he agrees with the second prince to express his dissatisfaction, it will actually provoke the dissatisfaction of King Yan.

After all, he had already made a strategy of coaxing and hitting King Yan.

I have to coax now.

So he said: “I am very sober. I not only want to give King Yan the three southern counties of Yanzhou, but also the power of sea trade.”

“What!” The second prince was completely dumbfounded. How can this be possible.”

“Why not, I am the emperor of Dasong, Dasong belongs to me, I can give King Yan whatever I want, even including the throne.” Zhao Heng raised his voice deliberately.

Last night, he was still a little hungover.

When I wake up in the morning, my mind is clearer.

He suddenly gave King Yan the power of sea trade, and then turned to King Yan in front of the second prince. He had the intention of favoring King Yan, but he actually had his own purpose.

It is to provoke the powerful clan to compete with King Yan.

When the snipe and the clam compete, his throne is more stable.

“Father…” The second prince almost told you madly, Father.

Yanzhou doesn’t matter, the power of sea trade doesn’t matter, his father actually mentioned the throne.

It is an insult to princes from all backgrounds to let a prince from a poor family background participate in the competition for the throne.

Extremely angry in his heart, the second prince was about to speak out when the guards notified King Yan to ask for an audience outside the mansion.

A flash of hatred flashed in the second prince’s eyes, and he stood on the side without saying a word.

“Let King Yan come in.” Zhao Heng was full of energy.

Not long after, Zhao Xu came over and bowed to salute. He looked at Zhao Heng, his eyes flickering.

When he was outside the door, he heard what Zhao Heng said to the second prince.

His first reaction was that the father fought back.

The first move is to flatter and kill.

Last time he asked for maritime trade rights, but was stopped by the Liang family.

Zhao Heng giving it to him now is tantamount to intensifying the conflict between him and the Liang family.

But for this, he was very happy.

In fact, the pirates attacked the warship he was building twice, and he already suspected that it had something to do with the Liang family.

Whether he has maritime trade rights or not, the Liang family is already targeting him.

He was not afraid of provoking the Liang family at all.

Instead, he got the right to maritime trade. He could continue to let the Black Shark pirates exist secretly, and he could establish the Yanzhou Navy on the bright side.

Pretending not to know anything, Zhao Xu just said that he would accompany Zhao Heng to relieve boredom, and lead him to Yan County and around.

Zhao Heng was fine, and in the next few days, he would travel around with Zhao Xu.

At this time, the news that Ningjin Dusi was attacked by King Yan’s soldiers and horses was sent to the Beidi camp outside Xiancheng.

Upon receiving this news, Mu Lehong really closed his eyes in pain.

“King Yan, I won’t let you go.” Mu Le Hongzhen almost gritted his teeth.
