The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Chapter 246 Test the Eighth Prince

No.

Fire and powder cannot be produced for the time being.

We can only wait for him to grow up and go to the fief, and then get out the fire and medicine.Otherwise, he will definitely have no good fruit to get out the fire and medicine now.

"Yaoyao, what are fire and medicine?" Seeing that Zhao Yao suddenly became so excited, Liang Run asked curiously and perplexedly, "What kind of medicine?"

Zhao Yao calmed down, sat back on the chair again, shook his head and said, "We can't get the fire and powder out now." He looked at Liang Run and explained, "Fire and powder are not medicine, but a weapon. A very powerful weapon, a small handful of gunpowder can destroy a house..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Liang Run's exclamation: "What, can you destroy a house?"

"That's right, a little more can directly destroy a mountain."

Liang Run's face was full of disbelief: "Impossible, it is impossible to have a weapon that can do it."

"It can be done, and it's more powerful than what I said." Zhao Yao raised his hand and patted his forehead, with a slightly annoyed expression, "I almost forgot such an important thing."

Liang Run saw Zhao Yao's serious expression, he didn't look like he was joking.

"Yaoyao, is there really such a powerful weapon?"

"Well, you can use it to make a lot of powerful things." Zhao Yao made a gun gesture with his hand, "This thing is called a gun, it can shoot and kill opponents from a long distance, and it is more powerful than arrows. "

"Worse than an arrow?" Liang Run couldn't imagine it.

"I'll show you how powerful it is when I make it in the future, but I can't make it now." Zhao Yao scratched his head and said, "If I get out the fire and medicine now, I will definitely die." With his father protecting him, he might not live long.

Liang Run understood Zhao Yao's meaning: "Then Yaoyao, you still don't want to make it." If fire and medicine are really as powerful as Yaoyao said, then Yaoyao who made such a powerful weapon will be rejected by the princes and ministers. They covet.

Zhao Yao nodded and said, "I won't make it for the time being. I will do it in Lingnan later." There are many mountains and wild forests in Lingnan, and experiments on fire and medicine there will definitely not cause sensation or suspicion. "Second Uncle, what did you want to say just now?"

"Yaoyao, you should know the Wang family." Liang Run's question was a bit redundant.

Zhao Yao raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "What happened to the Wang family?"

"Wang Siqi from the Wang family, do you know?" Liang Run asked.

"Wang Siqi?" Zhao Yao had never heard of this name before, "Who is this person from Wang Sixiu?" Wang Sixiu is the eldest son of Anyang Marquis.

"It's Wang Sixiu's concubine brother, a very ambitious and resourceful person."

Seeing that Liang Run's expression was a bit ugly when he talked about Wang Siqi, Zhao Yao asked with a slightly sullen face, "Second uncle, did Wang Siqi find you?"

Seeing that Zhao Yao guessed right, Liang Run slightly nodded and said, "Well, Wang Siqi wants to do business with me."

"Want to do business with you?" Zhao Yao asked, "What kind of business?"

"Medicinal materials, spices, furs, horses and cotton from the Western Regions."

Hearing this, Zhao Yao raised the corners of his mouth and sneered, "He really dares to speak."

"Actually, the terms he offers are pretty good, but he is from the Wang family." Liang Run gently rubbed the back of his left thumb with his right thumb, "Although he didn't say much in front of me, I learned from his His ambition can be seen in his eyes, he wants to seize the Anyang Marquis Mansion."

"It's not surprising that he wants to seize the Marquis of Anyang." Zhao Yao tapped his right finger on the table, "As a child of the royal family, why should the son of the royal family enjoy his success and be superior to others. The son of the son of the concubine can only bow his knees and be looked down upon .”

Hearing what Zhao Yao said, Liang Run said in astonishment, "Yao Yao, are you praising Wang Siqi?"

Zhao Yao said with a smile: "There is nothing wrong with being ambitious."

Liang Run was surprised and said, "Yaoyao, you don't agree with my cooperation with Wang Siqi, do you?"

Zhao Yao shook his head lightly and said, "I don't agree with you cooperating with Wang Siqi. If he is not from the Wang family, you can consider cooperating with him, but he is from the Wang family."

After hearing this, Liang Run breathed a sigh of relief.

"I thought you were going to agree."

"Second Uncle, does he know your identity?" Zhao Yao just finished asking, and he felt that he was a bit stupid for asking this question.

"I know." Liang Run deliberately concealed his identity in the capital, but his real identity can be found out only by investigation. "He made a very interesting condition."

"Let me guess." Zhao Yao guessed, "Did he tell you that as long as you cooperate with him, he will support me to fight for that seat in the future?"

"That's right, that's what he said." Liang Run continued, "He also said that he can do what he says."

Zhao Yao crossed his hands and supported his chin, raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "It seems that he is very confident in taking over the Anyang Marquis Mansion."

"It seems that the position of head of the Wang family is already in his pocket. I really don't know where he got the confidence." Liang Run was very puzzled, "Although his mother is the most beloved concubine of the Marquis of Anyang, but He comes from a humble background, no matter how powerful he is, it will be very difficult for him to win the position of the eldest son." The aristocratic family is the most particular about the concubine, no matter how incompetent the concubine is, it will not let the concubine of a humble background take the position.

"Wang Siqi said that he has now taken over some important businesses of the Wang family, and he is doing well." Liang Run didn't like Wang Siqi very much, not because he was ambitious, but because his eyes were too aggressive, as if it was him who could cooperate with him. same honor.

"It seems that he has some tricks, but does he know that he has been used by the Anyang Houfu?"

"Wang Siqi was used by the Marquis of Anyang?" Liang Run asked in surprise, "Yao Yao, what do you mean?"

"The family pays the most attention to the concubines. Even if the Marquis of Anyang loves Wang Siqi again, he will not violate the family precepts and let Wang Siqi replace Wang Sixiu as the heir of the Marquis of Anyang." Zhao Yao said with a light smile, "The reason why the Marquis of Anyang handed over some important business to the Wang family To do it for Wang Siqi, on the one hand, I want to test the ability of this concubine, on the other hand, I want to use this concubine to make money for the Anyang Marquis, and the most important reason is to use him to stimulate the concubines."

Liang Run suddenly said, "So that's how it is."

"Wang Siqi wants to seize the Anyang Marquis Mansion, he can't rely on doing business or something." Zhao Yao changed his gestures, propping his face with his right hand and said, "There is only one way for him to become the heir of the Anyang Marquis Mansion, and that is to kill all the legitimate sons. Only in this way can he, a bastard, have a chance to rise to power." Wang Sixiu and the others will never die, and Wang Siqi will never have a chance.

Liang Run thought of Wang Siqi's look of being determined to win, curled his lips and said, "Wang Siqi is afraid that he will really kill the sons-in-law who stand in front of him."

"It's not an easy thing to kill Wang Sixiu and the others." Wang Sixiu is the eldest son of the Anyang Marquis, not someone that Wang Siqi can kill casually, even if Wang Sixiu is not as smart as Wang Siqi.

Liang Run thought for a while and said, "I think Wang Siqi is very confident. It seems that there must be someone behind him to support him."

His words reminded Zhao Yao.

Zhao Yao suddenly thought of a person, and his expression became very serious in an instant.

Seeing that Zhao Yao's expression was not quite right, Liang Run asked concernedly, "Yao Yao, what's wrong with you?"

"I probably guessed who the person behind Wang Siqi is." It must be mynah.

Upon hearing this, Liang Run hurriedly asked, "Who is it?"

"Mynah!" Zhao Yao said very firmly, "It's definitely mynah!" If it is mynah, there is definitely a way for Wang Siqi to seize the Anyang Marquis Mansion.

Liang Run gasped: "The eighth prince?"

"You can't cooperate with Wang Siqi." Zhao Yao's tone became very serious, "You can't participate in myna's affairs."

Liang Run nodded and said, "Without the Eighth Prince, we would not be able to cooperate with Wang Siqi." When he thought of Wang Siqi's eyes, his heart shivered slightly, "Wang Siqi is very dangerous."

"No matter how dangerous it is, it is not as dangerous as myna." Zhao Yao put his hand on his forehead, and sighed helplessly, "Without the help of myna, it would be impossible for Wang Siqi to be entrusted by the Marquis of Anyang to do the important business of the Wang family."

Liang Run heard about the Eighth Prince from Zhao Yao, "The Eighth Prince actually..."

"Don't underestimate starling."

"Yaoyao, I don't think Wang Siqi will let me go easily." That day Wang Siqi came to Liang Run and said that he wanted to cooperate with Liang Run, but his eyes told Liang Run that he was just informing him of this matter.If Liang Run doesn't agree to cooperate with him, then don't blame him for being ruthless. "He will stop at nothing to take all the business from me, and even destroy my business."

Zhao Yao frowned slightly and said, "With his ambition, he would really do such a thing."

"Yaoyao, what should I do then?" This is what Liang Run is most worried about, "With our abilities, there is no way to fight against the Wang family."

"Second uncle, you haven't explicitly rejected him, have you?"

"Yes, I said I would think about it for a few days before replying to him." Although Liang Run didn't want to cooperate with Wang Siqi, he didn't immediately refuse at that time. "He said he was looking forward to an answer from me. However, it seemed to me that he only wanted the answer he wanted."

"Reject him." Zhao Yao said calmly, "Then do nothing."

"Do nothing?" Liang Run said with a puzzled face, "Yaoyao, if we don't do anything, Wang Siqi will definitely take it away and even ruin our business."

"I want to take this opportunity to test myna's attitude." Zhao Yao thought this would be a good opportunity to test myna's attitude. "If the starling knows that Wang Siqi has robbed you of your business and remains indifferent, it means..." Zhao Yao didn't say any more at this point.

Liang Run completed Zhao Yao's unfinished words: "It means that the Eighth Prince doesn't care about your younger brother at all."

This is the last thing Zhao Yao wants to see.

Zhao Yao nodded lightly and said, "Yes. If the starling asks Wang Siqi to return the business to you, it means that my brother is still very important to the starling."

Liang Run stared at Zhao Yao, and asked sharply, "Yao Yao, what kind of situation do you want?"

"Of course I hope that my younger brother has some status in the mynah's heart, but my younger brother is not important in the mynah's heart and it is normal." If his younger brother has no status in the mynah's heart, then he has to reconsider the relationship between him and the mynah. Relationship.The most important thing is that he not only wants to find a way out for himself.It is also necessary to arrange a way out for the fourth brother.

He used to think that in the future when the fourth brother and the eighth brother would meet, if the fourth brother lost to the eighth brother, he would help the fourth brother to intercede with the eighth brother.For the sake of his face, the starling would very likely spare the fourth brother's life.

However, he dare not think so now.If myna let Wang Siqi rob his second uncle's business in this matter, it means that in myna's heart, no one is as important as his great cause.When the fourth brother and the starling face each other in the future, he pleads with the starling, and the starling will never let the fourth brother go.

"However, if it really becomes like this, then my starling and I..." Zhao Yao still hoped that the eighth prince would stop Wang Siqi.

"Yaoyao, if the Eighth Prince allows Wang Siqi to steal our business, what are you going to do next, let them take it away and not fight back?"

"How is it possible." Zhao Yao said coldly, "I'm not such a generous person." After finishing speaking, his eyes were icy cold, "I will let them all return at that time, and I will return them a thousand times."

"Yaoyao, at that time you were going against the Eighth Prince." Liang Run knew that Zhao Yao liked the elder brother of the Eighth Prince very much.

"If you match up, let's match up." Zhao Yao said, with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, "Although I don't want to fight against starlings, I can't let starlings bully me."

"Yaoyao, if you face the Eighth Prince, do you have a chance of winning?" Liang Run learned from Zhao Yao that the Eighth Prince is very smart and has very good means.

"Although I'm not as smart as mynah, mynah doesn't know my details, and that's my advantage." Zhao Yao said with a heavy sigh, "However, having said that, it's really a good thing to be an enemy of mynah. It's a headache." Mynah, don't let me down, or I'll be really sad.

"I hope the Eighth Prince will stop Wang Siqi." Liang Run also didn't want them to be enemies with the Eighth Prince.

"Let's just wait and see what happens."

"it is good."

"By the way, Second Uncle, what do you think of sending Eighth Uncle to Lingnan now?" Eighth Uncle is Liang Guan.

"Isn't everything in Lingnan still unprepared? What are you sending Lao Ba to do now?"

"Not Lingnan, go to Annan Country."

"An Nanguo?" Liang Run asked in surprise, "What are you going to do in An Nanguo?"

"Do business, send money to the second prince, and become the second prince's person."

Liang Run looked at Zhao Yao in shock: "Yao Yao, do you want to support the second prince?"

"That's right, I want to control the royal family of Annan Kingdom." Zhao Yao smiled deeply, "To be precise, I want to control the iron mines, gold mines, and copper mines of Annan Kingdom."

Liang Run was dumbfounded when he saw Zhao Yao say the words to subvert An Nanguo with the cutest face and the most calm tone.

"Lingnan is really poor, and there is a shortage of supplies. If I don't get the iron ore and gold mines in Annan, I don't know how much it will cost."

Liang Run came back to his senses, and looked at Zhao Yao dumbfounded: "Yao Yao, do you know that what you just said is scary."

"By the way, we have to send a counselor to accompany the eighth uncle." Zhao Yao said, "The eighth uncle is good at business, but it's not good to play tricks and tricks."

"Yaoyao, you..." Liang Run said, "I will arrange for someone to follow Lao Ba to An Nanguo."

"Send some people to Lingnan, let them go to Lingnan to explore the way."

"I understand." Although Liang Run is not proficient in court affairs, he still knows some things, "Yaoyao, you have taken a fancy to the iron ore and gold mines in An Nanguo, so the crown prince and Daiwang should also look at them." They won’t be able to do nothing.”

"Second Uncle, you are right. The Prince and the Brothers will definitely make some moves, but they don't know one thing." Zhao Yao suddenly smiled mysteriously, "This matter will make the Second Prince willing to work with you. We work together."

"whats the matter?"

Zhao Yao moved closer to Liang Run's ear and whispered something.

After Liang Run finished listening, shock was written all over his face: "This is...unbelievable..."

"Annan's royal family is very messy and dirty." Zhao Yao said sarcastically, "In a few years, Annan's royal family will be in chaos. This is our chance."

After hearing this, Liang Run nodded.However, soon, he thought of something, and asked, "Now An Nan Kingdom is a subsidiary state of Da Zhou, won't the Emperor send someone to guard An Nan Kingdom?"

"I haven't heard of it yet."

"Supposedly, shouldn't the emperor set up the Protectorate in An Nanguo?" Liang Rundao, "If the emperor sends people to An Nanguo, what will our people do?"

"Let the eighth uncle go there first." Zhao Yao continued, "If the father really sets up the Protectorate in An Nanguo, then we can only act by chance."

Liang Run understood Zhao Yao's determination.No matter what happened, the second prince must be supported, and then the iron and gold mines of Annan Kingdom should be in his hands.

"I will tell Lao Ba about this matter tomorrow, and I am writing a letter back to Yangzhou, asking my father to arrange a counselor to go to An Nanguo with Lao Ba."

"Hey..." Zhao Yao lay on the table and said with a puffy face, "I feel like there are more and more things to do."

Liang Run smiled silently.

The kid Yaoyao hasn't realized what he is going to do in Lingnan so far, which has long gone beyond what a vassal king should do.If Yaoyao just wanted to be an idle prince, there was no need to do so many things.

That second uncle asked Yaoyao to do so many things, probably to let Yaoyao fight for the throne, but Yaoyao, who has always been extremely smart, didn't notice it.

Is this because the authorities are obsessed with the bystanders?

　I don't have time to write the second update tonight.

　　I'm going to Datang Everbright City later, and I may come back very late at night, so I won't have time to write.

　　Zhao Yao: Starling, don't break my heart.

　　Eighth Prince: Hehe, what do you think.
