Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 515

[Chapter 515 Tough]

Yan City.

Zhao Xu was giving a lecture in the science and technology school when he suddenly learned that the imperial decree had arrived.

Back at the palace, Xu Ke just followed after Zhao Xu entered the gate.

After reading the imperial decree, Zhao Xu changed slightly, while Xu Hark smiled wryly.

Seeing the embarrassment on King Yan’s face, the little eunuch who came to proclaim the decree did not dare to stay any longer, so he retreated and hurried away with the soldiers of the imperial army.

“Your Highness, Uncle Mi Guo was assassinated on the road. Fortunately, our people found out and rescued him in advance. At this moment, Uncle Mi Guo has resigned and returned home, claiming that he is not ill.” Xu Ke said.

After a pause, he said: “Before the accident, Dou Weiyi went to the palace, and then the uncle of the country also went to the palace, but he seemed unhappy after he came out.”

Taking out a note, he said again: “This is our The people who heard it, the conversation between the uncle and the father of the country.”

Zhao Xu nodded.

After Xu Ke arranged for the people from the Fourth Academy to go to the capital, he also secretly protected the Mi family under his orders.

Of course, sometimes protection is also a kind of supervision.

“It’s really…” Zhao Xu almost blurted out a sentence like shit, but finally suppressed it.

The Northern Expedition made him see clearly Zhao Heng’s incompetence and weakness.

But this time it made him see clearly that Zhao Heng was an indistinct person.

I’m afraid that in the heart of this emperor, there is always a little fantasy about the powerful family.

Now, he finally understands why Dou Wei supported Zhao Heng to ascend the throne.

This is a guy with the same strategic level as shit, only a little smart, and very fond of pleasure.

Since ancient times, all treacherous officials have liked such emperors.

And this emperor has been in power for more than 20 years, and it is also the 20 years when the power and family separatism has become more intense and the Great Song has accelerated its decline.

Until the Northern Expedition, the emperor completely played off.

In order to keep things safe for a while, he signed a peace agreement, and was blackmailed by the powerful clan, which caused the powerful clan to change from a secret separatist regime to an open and honest separatist regime.

“Your Majesty, now you are walking back and forth between His Highness and His Majesty.” Xu Ke said what Zhao Xu wanted to say.

With a soft snort, Zhao Xu said: “This king has come to today step by step. When did I rely on the court? I have never expressed hope to the emperor, otherwise I would not have asked for Nan Sanjun when he came to Yanzhou. ”

After a pause, he said: “That’s fine, he trusts me completely, and I have to pay attention to it. Now, black is black, and white is white.”

Tsui Hark nodded and said: ” That’s right. Your Highness, Princess Changle will be able to go to Yancheng tomorrow, what should I do with this imperial decree?”

Ma Han rescued Princess Changle and sent someone to escort him from Jinzhou to Yancheng.

But Princess Changle walked slowly in the carriage, and it took so long to arrive.

“It’s very simple. Let’s say that Princess Changle encountered bandits when she went to Yancheng and unfortunately died.” Zhao Xu’s eyes narrowed.

How could it be possible to hand over the people he saved.

Furthermore, since Zhao Heng blamed him for being arrogant, he showed him the arrogant behavior.

In the face of the powerful family who entrapped him, he was submissive, and in the face of the prince who saved him from danger, he punched hard.

It is tolerable to do such a thing, what is unbearable!

Now, he will tell Zhao Heng clearly.

The powerful family is not easy to mess with, and he is not easy to mess with either!

“Hey, I think so too.” Tsui Hark smiled.

Then he seemed to wake up to something, “Your Highness, do you think this matter is a plan to divide the powerful family?”

“Then I have to thank Dou Wei for letting me fully recognize this father.” Zhao Xu didn’t care at all if it was a plan to alienate the powerful clan.

If Zhao Heng had treated him sincerely, he would not have issued this imperial decree.

Nor would he be alienated, but now the opposite is true.

Xu Ke nodded when he heard the words. He found that King Yan’s mood has been very calm since he received the imperial edict.

Perhaps King Yan had already seen through the essence of this Great Praise Emperor.

Never had hope for the court.

“There is one more thing. The people who were placed in Ningjindusi found that Tiemu Tower escorted a carriage to the outside of Jincheng, but the carriage did not enter the city. They just set up a camp to surround the carriage and patrolled it closely. It seems that there is something very important in the carriage.” Tsui Hark said.

“Really?” Zhao Xu immediately jumped out of the matter of the imperial decree.

Now, under the situation where the world is divided, how could he, a vassal far away in the frontier, care about the court’s attitude towards him.

What’s more, he has already grasped the minds of these people.

Zhao Heng counted on him to check and balance the powerful clan, so that he could live a peaceful life.

But the clan was unhappy with him, and for the time being, they only wanted to weaken him, not kill him.

They wanted him to beat Beidi seriously, and he was also seriously injured, so they took the opportunity to eat their bodies.

It is these thoughts that allow Da Song to maintain a strange and ingenious balance at the moment.

Regarding this balance, he doesn’t want to break it for the time being, it’s not bad to just exist like this.

At least, he can continue to make money from business and trade, hoarding food and minerals, which are important things in troubled times.

As for his false report that Changle Princess was killed by bandits this time, it will not break this balance.

The goal of alienating the family has been achieved, and it is impossible for Zhao Heng to really turn against him over this matter.

It is even more impossible for Beidi to send his troops to the northwest again, and then go south from Wuguan.

Otherwise, this opportunity is too good for yourself.

If you don’t take the opportunity to take down Ningjindusi and turn the land to the east of Beidi upside down, how long will it be.

“Yes, I am very surprised by this. Beidi attaches so much importance to what can be loaded in a carriage.” Xu Ke frowned, but couldn’t figure it out.

“Continue to investigate.” With only a few words from Tsui Hark, he couldn’t guess.

However, this is an unusual signal after all, which should be paid attention to.

After talking about a few more small things, Tsui Hark went back.

Zhao Xu went to the study, and then gave Zhao Heng a note.

Naturally, he was talking about the abduction of Princess Changle.

As for whether Zhao Hengxin believed it or not, he didn’t care.

Secondly, he reminded Zhao Heng.

He is currently at war with Beidi, and it is right to do anything that is not good for Beidi.

Beidi is dissatisfied, so he can let Beidi find him without the intervention of the court.

After finishing writing, he put down the pen and sent people to the capital.

next day.

As Tsui Hark said, a carriage arrived in Yancheng under the escort of Ma family soldiers.

However, the soldiers of the Ma family are all in casual clothes, and this line of work is more like a merchant.

Although Zhao Xu knew about it, he was still basking in the sun in the courtyard of the royal residence and did not go to greet him.

After all, Princess Changle has an elder brother, so she has to come to see him.

Less than half an hour.

When the carriage arrived at the palace, Zhao Xu walked slowly to the front yard.

At this time, a girl in a light yellow dress was standing with her back behind her.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the girl turned around, glanced at him, then lowered her head, saluted slightly, and said in a low voice, “Ninth Brother, long time no see.”

“Don’t call me Ninth Brother, Changle Princess is dead Now, from now on, you can be Nian Yuyan again.” Zhao Xu said with a light smile, with his hands behind his back.
