Steel Dynasty - Chapter 391

[Chapter 391: Squeezing the King of Wei]

“Good nephew!”

Outside the palace, King Wei seemed to have been waiting for a long time. When he saw Xiao Ming coming, King Wei immediately greeted Xiao Ming.

At this time, Aster and Pothos also came out of the palace at the same time.

The two of them immediately pounced on Xiao Ming and looked at Xiao Ming carefully. They were relieved to see that Xiao Ming was safe and sound. They also learned that Xiao Ming had encountered an assassin last night and had been worried until now.

“This king is fine, you can rest assured.” Xiao Ming said to the two of them.

Then he turned to King Wei: “I don’t know why Uncle Three Emperors came to see me?”

King Wei said with a smile on his face and a big belly: “My dear nephew, it’s not convenient to talk here, why don’t you come with me, my dear nephew?” How about having tea at Hongxiu Fang in Chang’an City?”

“That’s not necessary. My nephew is getting married soon and I don’t want to cause gossip outside.” Xiao Ming frowned. He didn’t know whether this King Wei was really stupid or not. What a fool, you actually want to take him to that kind of fireworks place at this time.

King Wei seemed to suddenly realize it, and he said to Xiao Ming: “Oh, look at my brain, I have forgotten this, yes, yes, in this case, please ask my nephew to choose a place.”

“Just in the palace. Let’s go.” Xiao Ming walked directly to the yard.

Because of the assassination, he didn’t trust anyone, especially the King of Wei.

In the Battle of Jizhou, he was able to dispatch an army like Shanziying in such an important battle. What else could he not do?

He lives alone in Qingzhou, and he is still too young compared to those who are involved in the political circles. Whether it is the third prince, the King of Wei or others, these people are digging a hole for him to jump into.

He didn’t want to die before leaving the army, so now he could only muster up 200% energy and avoid going to any place he was not familiar with. After the wedding, he would return to Qingzhou and ignore Chang’an. Break things.

Whoever provokes him again in the future, he will directly use guns and guns to teach them how to behave.

When they arrived at the palace, Xiao Ming took King Wei to the main hall. In the Kingdom of Chongqing, the settings of each palace were basically similar, so they also had main halls for discussions.

“My dear nephew, Uncle Wang came here this time just to ask my dear nephew for something.” King Wei said with a flattering look on his face.

Xiao Ming sneered, “Uncle Wang is talking about Shanziying. My nephew really wants to talk to his father, so that his father can see clearly the true face of the third emperor’s uncle and how he behaves on the battlefield. Cooperate with me.”

As he spoke, Xiao Ming slammed the teacup on the table, causing tea to splash everywhere.

Xiao Ming was so imposing that the King of Wei suddenly changed his expression. He was a high-ranking official, and no one in the entire Chongqing Kingdom was respectful to him, but now he was humiliated by a junior.

He couldn’t help but feel angry, but he thought that if Xiao Ming really pursued this matter in front of Xiao Wenxuan, he might really anger Xiao Wenxuan.

Over the years, he has gotten to know this brother very well. It seems that he doesn’t care about anything, like a foolish king, but this brother is aware of everything.

He knew in his heart that Xiao Wenxuan actually didn’t believe him for a long time. The reason why he didn’t show it and rewarded him so much was just because there were barbarians in the north and he was surrounded by vassal kings with different surnames.

It can be said that he was crucial to Xiao Wenxuan in the past.

But things are different now. Xiao Ming has risen strongly, and this time Xiao Ming also repelled the barbarians and captured Shanhaiguan. Now Xiao Ming’s status in Xiao Wenxuan’s heart far exceeds his.

After all, Xiao Ming now controls the safety of the north.

And it was precisely because he was afraid that Xiao Ming would continue to grow that he sent a bad army in the battle of Jizhou, in order to delay Xiao Ming’s retreat, hoping that Xiao Ming’s strength would be severely damaged, so that he would become more stable.

Only the plan failed again.

“My dear nephew, this matter is indeed due to the emperor’s uncle’s dereliction of duty. However, the emperor’s uncle did not expect that the Shanzi Camp would be so vulnerable. After all, the Shanzi Camp is the trump card in the emperor’s hand.” King Wei said with a heartbroken look. .

“Ace!” Xiao Ming became even more angry. The King of Wei couldn’t even see the coffin without crying. “Uncle, do you really think that I, Xiao Ming, am a fool? Shanziying is the worst army in Wei. Do you really think that I am a fool?” Don’t you know anything?”

King Wei continued to argue: “My dear nephew, this Shanzi Camp is my army. I know its combat strength. You must have misunderstood.”

Looking at the rogue face, King Wei said. Xiao Ming said directly: “Uncle Three Emperors, please come back. In this case, let’s talk about this in the court. I think my father and the ministers have sharp eyes.”

When King Wei heard this, not only was he not angry, but he was Continue to smile; “My dear nephew, as long as you don’t tell me, who will know that there are a group of old and weak soldiers in Shanzi Camp? Don’t be angry, don’t be angry, the emperor’s uncle is here to discuss this matter with his nephew this time.”

” In this case, the emperor’s uncle should be more practical. I don’t have so much free time to accompany the third emperor’s uncle to grind his teeth.”

King Wei’s repeated despicable actions have angered him. Xiao Ming was very angry and was no longer polite to him. What’s more, since it was a negotiation, it was impossible to be polite and avoid embarrassing King Wei, and he would not be able to get the benefits he wanted.

Sighing, King Wei said: “Let the nephew say what he wants. The emperor admits his defeat. We are all vassal kings. We all know that making noise in the court is not just for our own fiefdom and status. After all, the Great Yu Kingdom is now What belongs to your father is the prince’s in the future, and I am who you will be in the future, so why should we fight to the death?”

“Uncle Sanhuang is finally willing to tell the truth. After all, we are just doing it for our own three acres. Divide the land, in this case, my nephew will not be polite. The matter of Shanziying is not big or small for my nephew. It is just that my father hates the Third Emperor Uncle because of this matter. It has no actual benefit to me. Although this matter The Third Emperor’s uncle is indeed hateful, but stabbing each other with knives will only make outsiders laugh,” Xiao Ming said lightly.

When King Wei heard this, he immediately gave a thumbs up, “My dear nephew, you have seen clearly. What happened last time was that the emperor’s uncle lost his head, and the emperor’s uncle is willing to make compensation.”

Xiao Ming originally wanted to lead King Wei’s army in the court, but this assassination incident made him change his mind.

Even if the assassination was not carried out by the prince, it must have something to do with other princes, and the shadow of the vassal king with a different surname was inevitable behind it. To him now, King Wei was just a fat pig under his nose.

You can eat his flesh, but there is no need to kill him. Relying on him to support yourself is the right thing to do.

So he said with a smile: “Actually, the answer is very simple. As long as Uncle Wei promises that the goods sold by the Qingzhou Chamber of Commerce in Wei will not be levied any taxes, and the local government is not allowed to interfere in the trade of the Chamber of Commerce in any form, and is not allowed to arrest merchants of the Qingzhou Chamber of Commerce without authorization. .”
