Almighty Nongmen Phoenix

Chapter 732; Expansion
On this day, two imperial decrees came out from the imperial city, shocking the entire capital.

Queen Wang's collusion with the remnant forces of the Duke of Zhen set off the chaos in the North, an unforgivable crime, and she was abolished.

King Ning lost his virtue, and the king was demoted to the first rank, and he was named the king of Pingyang County.

With the issuance of these two imperial edicts, it was announced that the faction of the queen and the Duke of Zhen had completely declined, and even the original first-born prince would become the second-rank county king. It can be seen that they may have no chance of standing up.

Regarding these two edicts, the mad queen naturally did not react at all.

But what was surprising was that King Ning didn't react at all to this. When the imperial edict arrived at Prince Ning's mansion, he didn't express any dissatisfaction, and accepted the imperial edict very flatly.

He really gave up. Since there is no chance, how can he fight for it again? It would be better to put all his thoughts on how to save his life.

Besides, the ministers of the DPRK and Central Committee are also quite embarrassed by this. Thinking about the empress and the Duke of Zhen who were very prosperous back then, who would have thought that they would not be completed like this in just two or three years?

King Ning, who was once thought by everyone to be the crown prince, actually got the title of county king in the end.

Some people sigh, and naturally some people are happy.

The happiest among them is the faction of King Zhao, and the fall of King Ning is great news for them.

It means that the DPRK and China have no opponents, and that seat is at your fingertips.

"His Royal Highness King Zhao, it's really the destiny. Congratulations."

Many officials sent by King Zhao were very happy when they met with King Zhao in private.

Zhao Wang, who is the party involved, is even more high-spirited.

"Right now, this king is the most powerful in the court. Too much is too much. Father is still in his prime. If he wins over the court officials too much, it may be detrimental to this king."

"Although the third child is still young, there are some things that are just in case, so this king plans to continue to grow from other places. I wonder if you have any suggestions?"

He has spoken so clearly, how can these confidantes in front of him not know what he is planning?
Many people still remember the fact that he was slapped and humiliated by Princess Wanfu in public.

At this time, he said that he did not want to continue to develop the power in the court, and worried that the emperor would be too afraid of him, and wanted to develop and grow from other places.

Now that he has the power, there is no one in the court to be his opponent, all he needs to do is wait until the emperor gets old and he ascends the throne, there is no need to be too anxious.

After all, Emperor Hongwen is still in his prime, and there is a third prince under him. Although he is young now, what about ten or twenty years from now?
So if you have power, you have to have money, and especially you have to have the hearts of the people.

Who is the richest in Dongzhou now?Naturally, it is Lu Yaoyao, the owner of Wanfu County, but who is the most popular?Of course, it is still Lu Yaoyao, the owner of Wanfu County.

She holds a lot of good things in her hands. If she can get those things and spend some money to build roads among the people and seek some benefits for the people, the hearts of the people will come naturally.

Of course, the premise of all this is to get Lu Yaoyao's money, and use other people's money to buy people's hearts for himself and win over courtiers, but he doesn't feel bad at all.

In this way, not only can he avenge the revenge of the past, but it can also make his current position more stable.

"Think twice, Your Highness."

Knowing Zhao Wang's plan, the complexions of the people in front of him and the ministers changed slightly.

Princess Wanfu, that is the second most untouchable person in Dongzhou.

The first nature is Emperor Hongwen, and Lu Yaoyao is very favored by Emperor Hongwen, provoking Lu Yaoyao is equivalent to provoking two people who are not easy to provoke.

"Princess Wanfu is not easy to deal with."

Hearing what they said, Zhao Wang's face was a little cold.

Sensing the change in his complexion, one of the officials, who had just entered King Zhao's camp not long ago, rolled his eyes and cupped his hands and said, "Princess Wanfu is really difficult to deal with, but we can start from other places."

"Like the Lu family? They still have a sales channel for snowflake salt, which is the property of our imperial court."

"Master Liu is right."

King Zhao glanced appreciatively at Mr. Liu who spoke.

But Mr. Liu, who let this talent be put into the sect and hoped that his meritorious deeds would be reused soon, was overjoyed.

"Now none of our neighbors in Eastern Continent dare to provoke a war, and there will be a long period of recuperation."

"The imperial court must need money to develop the people's livelihood. We can take this opportunity to make the Snowflake Salt return to the imperial court."

"At the same time, it is also possible to suggest that a large number of workshops be opened by the people. The Lu family has a lot of workshops. With so many people, I don't believe that everyone is of one mind with them."

"As long as we can attract a group of people, and then open the workshop, with the convenience of the court, I believe it will become bigger soon. Then we will secretly suppress some businesses of the Lu family and other places, and gradually eat away at them and replace them."

"Even if Princess Wanfu is unhappy, so what? There is no rule that only her family can do this business."

Hearing Master Liu's words, King Zhao nodded repeatedly. He really wanted to deal with Lu Yaoyao, but he also knew very well that it would not be easy to deal with her now.

Still have to take it step by step slowly, Master Liu's suggestion at this time is very good.

"The method is good, but I don't know if I can win someone over."

"It's okay if we can win over people, and if we try to win over people, will it attract the attention of Princess Wanfu?"

"I think it's better not to touch Princess Wanfu. Everything will be discussed after His Royal Highness ascends to power. At that time, you will have the power of life and death, and you will not be protected by the emperor. Wouldn't it be better if you want to deal with her as a mere princess?" Easily?"

"Why take risks at this time?"

It has to be said that among the people under Zhao Wang's family, there are still sober ones.

However, he was sober and true, but he underestimated the extent of Zhao Wang's psychological expansion at this moment, and at the same time underestimated Zhao Wang's hatred for Lu Yaoyao.

"Master Li is also very thorough, so let's do this first."

Seeing that no one continued to express their opinions, Zhao Wang didn't bother to say anything, so he said something lightly and perfunctorily.

With such an expression, Master Li, who was really thinking about him, shook his head a little.

Sure enough, at the court meeting the next day, Mr. Liu directly wrote a letter asking the court to take back the management right of Snowflake Salt, in the name of facilitating scheduling and management.

Hearing this playbook, Master Li slightly raised his eyes and glanced at King Zhao, feeling more helpless in his heart.

As for Emperor Hongwen, who was sitting in the upper position, after careful consideration, he nodded slowly and said, "Quite playing."

It was so easy to take it down, which surprised Master Liu and King Zhao, especially King Zhao, who felt that his father had already favored him.

Otherwise, how could you agree so lightly?
This operation of Emperor Hongwen made the already bloated King Zhao even more bloated.

After the dynasty came to power that day, he asked someone to invite Mr. Liu to Zhao Wang's mansion. He praised him at first, and then told him to arrange to win over the craftsmen of the Lu family.
