Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 495
[Chapter 495 Strategic Cooperation]
“My Ma family was never willing to collude with them.” Ma Han gritted his teeth, “Besides, the Dou family murdered my father.”
When Ma Jin defected to Xiliang, he colluded with Dou Wei to murder his father and son Tell the world about it.
Although Dou Wei refused to admit it, he already believed in his heart that Dou Wei was the murderer.
Originally, he hoped that Emperor Zhao Heng would give him justice.
But in the end, the court still easily exposed the matter on the grounds that Ma Jin’s words were not credible.
The hatred in his heart was overwhelming, but he could only bear it.
The Ma family is no longer the Ma family they used to be, they no longer stomp their feet, and Dasong Northwest will also be affected by the three earthquakes.
What’s more, Qinzhou and Yongzhou are the foundations of the Ma family, and he hopes that the imperial court can help the Ma family to regain them.
But this time, he was disappointed again.
Zhao Heng completely assigned these two states to Beidi.
That night, he was drunk late at night, crying bitterly, and his father could not rest in peace under Jiuquan.
He wanted to lead the Ma family’s soldiers and horses to fight against the court’s agreement and leave the customs.
But he knew that his little team was vulnerable to Beidi.
The last breath of the Ma family will also be ruined by him.
Now, King Yan revealed to him the banquet of the seven powerful families, completely alienating his Ma family.
His Ma family couldn’t even defend the last honor of the clan.
The most important thing is, as Yan Wang said, as a powerful family, he naturally knows what Dou Wei wants to do.
His Ma family used to dominate the three states, and then got involved in Jinzhou, and even stretched out tentacles to Yanzhou, all of which were to expand the Ma family’s sphere of influence.
He knew very well that the Dasong royal family could no longer suppress the powerful clans.
The result that cannot be suppressed is the melee between the powerful clan and the royal family. In the smoke of gunpowder, the strongest clan is born, ascends to the throne of God, and establishes a new dynasty.
When his father was around, he had told him about it several times.
It can be said that this matter is the default of the clan.
The eight families are also preparing for the coming of troubled times.
However, now that all this is really coming, the Ma family lost ahead of time.
With the relationship between the Ma family and the Dou family, once the powerful family wins, I am afraid that the Ma family will end in misery.
“Then are you willing to join forces with this king!” Zhao Xu deliberately said the word “aggressiveness” very seriously.
He has been observing Mahan’s expression.
In just a short time, several mood swings appeared in Ma Han’s eyes, obviously there was intense inner activity.
“Your Highness wants to…” Ma Han was stunned for a moment. Although King Yan’s words were self-deprecating, the meaning was already very clear.
Immediately, he reacted, “When you meet His Highness, how can you call it a fellowship, it should be called a fellowship.”
“Hahaha… What a fellowship, that’s right, that’s what this king means.” Zhao Xu stared into Ma Han’s eyes.
Being stared at by Zhao Xu, Ma Han’s heart trembled again.
For a moment, his mind changed.
The powerful family headed by Dou Wei will definitely not accept the Ma family.
If troubled times really come in the future, how will the weak Ma family survive.
It seems that there is no better way than hiding under the wings of King Yan.
Thinking of this, he stood up, cupped his hands, and was about to say something.
Zhao Xu said indifferently: “Don’t talk about going up the mountain of swords or going into the sea of fire. As the saying goes, everyone is for me, and I am for everyone. As long as you help this king sincerely, this king will definitely reciprocate, and the court will take it for you.” I won’t go back to Qinzhou and Yongzhou, but this king can.”
Ma Han was shocked when he heard this.
Now he didn’t have any hesitation anymore, “This time, His Highness just orders, and I, Ma Jia, will do my best.”
Zhao Xu nodded slightly.
This time he and the Ma family are basically not allies, but they are better than allies.
The real covenant is not a piece of paper, but the sincerity in each other’s hearts.
In contemporary terminology, it can be called a strategic partner.
And, it’s also neat and tidy.
In the future, if his Ma family has other thoughts, he won’t feel burdened.
Similarly, he wouldn’t feel burdened when he beat Ma’s family.
However, he still hopes that Mahan is a smart person and doesn’t stand on the wrong team.
“You Ma family soldiers have the armor provided by the king, and you only need to hang up the banner of the king, and the king will admit it.” Zhao Xu added.
In this way, as long as there are people from his Ma family, he will resist the danger from the court.
“Actually, it’s not necessary. I would like to use this incident as a vote to show my sincerity.” Ma Han looked firm.
Some time ago, he sent millions of refugees to King Yan, and King Yan fulfilled his promise to send troops to help him attack Ma Jin.
This incident is enough to show that King Yan is a man of his word.
This time, since he chose to take refuge in King Yan, he naturally had to show his sincerity.
Zhao Xu smiled, and still waved his hand, “If so, why should I let you come in secret? What I want is that the Ma family is in the dark, and I am in the
light.” Ma Han suddenly realized something, showing a dazed look.
If the relationship between his Ma family and the King of Yan is in the world, the powerful clans will definitely keep a close eye on his Ma family.
By hiding the relationship, they can secretly support each other, and catch the enemy by surprise in certain matters.
“I understand.” Mahan said with a smile.
Zhao Xu also smiled, everything was kept silent.
Then, he suddenly realized something, it seemed that he was getting more and more cloudy.
Hey, there is no way, whoever makes his opponent is Lao Yinbi.
After deciding this matter, Zhao Xu stayed with Ma Han for dinner in the mansion.
The next day, Ma Han set off for Sizhou.
The marriage is imminent, and he needs to go back and make arrangements.
Before Ma Han left, he asked Tsui Hark to send someone to go back with Ma Han.
He will send a ship north, and the ship will be filled with hot air balloons.
It would be best if Ma Han could rescue Princess Changle.
If not, maybe a hot air balloon can be used.
…
Jinling, Prince Chun’s Mansion.
It is located on the busiest Donghua Street at the Donghua Gate of the Imperial Palace.
At this moment, it was evening, and the nobles and sons of powerful families who came and went on Donghua Street came and went.
When passing by Prince Chun’s Mansion, they couldn’t help pointing.
Some people sighed, while others gloated.
“It’s a pity that a beauty like a fairy is about to be ruined by Beidi people.” A noble boy sighed.
“Actually, it’s not a pity. She has done us a great service by being able to truce with Beidi.” Another person said.
The two talked and left.
At this moment, two disciples from powerful clans passed by, and one of them said: “This princess of Changle, relying on herself as the princess, often waved the flag for King Yan in the capital, hehe, she is stupid now, King Yan can’t save her.
” It deserves it, what a shit princess, she’s just a bastard from a poor family, but she was lucky enough to be spotted by Princess Chun.”
“…” The
voices of discussion were buried in the crowd.
The servants in front of the palace gate couldn’t hear it, and the Princess Changle in the boudoir couldn’t hear it even more.
She just sat in front of a glass mirror, staring at herself blankly.
And her expression was calm as usual, as if she was not affected by the marriage.
Just as she was in a daze, the door of the boudoir was pushed open, and a noble lady walked in.
