The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

The Eighth Prince looked at Zhao Yao helplessly and dotingly: "Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Zhao Yao smiled embarrassedly: "Myna, can you lend me some money?"

The Eighth Prince thought that what Zhao Yao was asking for was something big, but he didn't expect it to be borrowing money. This made him slightly stunned, and then he laughed and said, "How much do you want to borrow?"

Borrowing money was an excuse that Zhao Yao thought of temporarily, he didn't think clearly about how much money he wanted to borrow.

"Brother, I don't know how much money I need."

The eighth prince was amused by Zhao Yao's words, and he said helplessly, "You don't even know how much you want? Are you borrowing money to buy something?"

"Brother, I want to buy something, but I can't tell you what to buy for the time being." Zhao Yao thought for a while and said, "Brother, please lend me two money first." The two money is neither too much nor too little.

"What can you buy with two pennies?" The Eighth Prince laughed, "I'll give you a piece of gold, which should be enough for you to buy things."

"A piece of gold?" Zhao Yao was startled by the Eighth Prince's generosity.

The eighth prince glanced at Yu Hai, and Yu Hai understood.After a while, he took out a piece of gold and handed it to Zhao Yao.

"His Royal Highness, please accept."

"Brother, this... is too much, I don't need gold to buy things." Since when did mynah become so arrogant, every time he made a move, he was a piece of gold. "Brother, I can't afford it."

"You don't have to pay it back, this piece of gold is for you." The Eighth Prince smiled, "If you run out of money in the future, just tell me."

"Myna, when did you become so rich?" It seems that myna has done a lot of business in private and made a lot of money.

The eighth prince said without changing his face: "The prince gave it to you."

Zhao Yao pretended to be very surprised: "Is the prince brother so generous?"

"I helped the Crown Prince take care of some property in private, and the Crown Prince gave me some money." The Eighth Prince said with a smile, "This is my wages from the Crown Prince."

Zhao Yao nodded with a vague understanding: "So that's the case, then myna, you must have helped the prince take care of it very well." With the ability and means of the myna, I am afraid that he helped the prince take care of a lot of property.It is estimated that part of the money earned by the prince's brother from these industries went into the starling's pocket.

"I did not disappoint the expectations of the prince's elder brother." The eighth prince was afraid that Zhao Yao would buy things indiscriminately, and told him, "I will give you money, so don't buy some messy things."

"What a mess?" Zhao Yao blinked suspiciously, "Mynah, what is a mess?" Why did he feel that there was something in mynah's words.

Seeing Zhao Yao's bewildered expression, the Eighth Prince was slightly taken aback, then shook his head and said, "It's nothing, you can buy whatever you want."

"Brother, then I will accept it unceremoniously." Zhao Yao stood up and made a big gift to the Eighth Prince, "Thank you for the gold."

Seeing Zhao Yao quickly put the gold into his arms, the Eighth Prince smiled.

"Don't worry, the gold is given to you, I won't go back on my word, let alone snatch it back."

Zhao Yao's small thoughts were seen through, and he smiled flatteringly at the Eighth Prince: "Brother, I know you still have things to do, so I won't bother you, I'll go back first." Then, he walked towards the Eighth Prince again After saluting, he immediately left the Eighth Prince's room bouncing around.

"Your Highness, why did you suddenly ask His Highness Eighth to borrow money, and you are not short of money?" Tong Xi said puzzledly, "Didn't the second master give you a lot of money every time, and you haven't spent it all?" These years Well, the second master gave His Highness a lot of money.

"I was afraid that the starling would be suspicious, so I just found an excuse to borrow money." Zhao Yao took out a piece of gold that the Eighth Prince had just given him from his arms, threw it lightly into the air, and then stretched out his hand to catch it. "I didn't expect myna to be so generous." He had to think about what to buy.If you don't buy something, the starling will definitely be suspicious.

"Your Highness, it seems that His Highness Eight is very rich now."

"Buy a parrot for the starling." If you want to understand the things of the Southern Wei Dynasty, no one knows better than the starling.But it is simply impossible to learn about the Southern Wei Dynasty from myna.It can only be learned from starlings through other methods.

"Your Highness, do you want to send a parrot to His Highness the Eighth Highness?" Tong Xi said disapprovingly, "Your Highness, the parrot is very noisy, and His Highness the Eighth Highness definitely doesn't like it. You might as well send a falcon to His Highness the Eighth Highness."

"Then buy a falcon and give it to the mynah, so that it will be convenient to deliver letters to the mynah in the future." In the future, I can also know what mynah is doing through the falcon, and if mynah is in danger, he can also help mynah as soon as possible.Of course, the most important thing is to figure out things about the Southern Wei Dynasty.

He really didn't want to use birds to spy on starlings, but the Southern Wei Dynasty was too mysterious and powerful, and he had to figure out the purpose of the Southern Wei Dynasty in order to prevent the people of the Southern Wei Dynasty from harming the starlings.

"Your Highness, the Eighth Prince is about to come of age, where do you think the Eighth Prince's fief will be?" Tong Xi was a little worried. The Eighth Prince was not liked by the emperor, and maybe the emperor would give the Eighth Prince his fiefdom.

"Father doesn't like myna, so I won't give myna any good place. However, with myna's means, the prince brother will definitely ask my father to keep him in the capital." If myna wants to fight for the throne, he will not leave the capital easily. He will not leave the prince's brother easily.Besides, with the trust and reuse of the elder brother of the prince, the elder brother will not let the elder brother leave him.

"Your Highness, it's better for His Highness the Eighth Prince to stay with His Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhao Yao didn't talk about this matter anymore, returned to his room, and wrote a letter to his second uncle, asking his second uncle to help him buy another falcon from the Western Regions.

After a while, Tong Xi came in and said respectfully to Zhao Yao: "Your Highness, the hot water is ready, go take a bath."

"Okay, go take a bath." Zhao Yao went to the ear room next door, and when he was undressing, the gold given to him by the Eighth Prince fell from his arms.

Tong Xi squatted down and picked up the gold that the Eighth Prince gave to Zhao Yao.

"Your Highness, this servant will put it away for you."

"Wait." Zhao Yao hurriedly extended his hand to Tong Xi, "Give me the gold."

Tong Xi put the gold into Zhao Yao's palm.

Zhao Yao lowered his head and stared at the gold in his palm.

Seeing Zhao Yao staring at the gold, Tong Xi asked curiously, "Your Highness, what are you doing staring at the gold? Is there anything wrong with this gold?"

"Tongxi, do you feel that the gold my starling gave me is a little different?"

Tong Xi carefully looked at the gold in Zhao Yao's hand, but found nothing different.

"Your Highness, this servant has poor eyesight."

"You go and get the gold that my father rewarded me before."

"I'll get it now, servant girl." Tong Xi quickly took a piece of gold that the emperor had rewarded Zhao Yao before, "Your Highness, the gold you want."

The gold rewarded to Zhao Yao by the Emperor of the Great Zhou was the gold refined by the Great Zhou treasury, and the five words "Great Zhou Jin Yuanbao" were engraved on the bottom of the gold.

Zhao Yao compared Dazhou's gold ingots with the gold given to him by the Eighth Prince, and then asked Tong Xi to shine a candle on them.

"Look, the gold ingots from Da Zhou are brighter than the gold my myna gave me, and the gold my myna gave me is duller in luster."

Hearing what Zhao Yao said, Tong Xi found out that it was true.

"Your Highness, why is the gold that the Eighth Prince gave you darker? Could it be that the gold that the Eighth Prince gave you is fake?"

"No, the gold that the starling gave me is real." Zhao Yao told Tong Xi again, "Go and get a piece of the gold that the second uncle gave me before."

"Yes."

He Lianfang gave Zhao Yao a lot of gold before.

Zhao Yao compared the gold that He Lianfang gave him with the gold that the Eighth Prince gave him, and it was exactly as he thought.

Tong Xi also found out, and asked with a look of astonishment: "Your Highness, the gold that Second Uncle gave you is as dark as the gold that His Highness Eight gave you."

"The gold that my second uncle gave me is the gold from Annan Kingdom, and the gold that my father rewarded me is from Da Zhou." Zhao Yao said seriously, "The gold from An Nan Kingdom is darker than the gold from Da Zhou."

"Your Highness, why is this?" Tong Xi asked with a puzzled face, "Shouldn't gold be the same?"

"The technology is different. Da Zhou's gold refining technology is higher than that of An Nan Guo, so the gold refined by Da Zhou is brighter than the gold of An Nan Guo." Zhao Yao didn't know much about gold refining, he guessed , "The artisans of Dazhou should have added something when refining the gold, so the refined gold should be brighter."

"So that's the case." Tong Xi flattered Zhao Yao and said, "Your Highness, you really know a lot."

"Mynah has gold from An Nanguo." Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Mynah just said that this gold was given to him by the elder brother of the crown prince, which means that the elder brother of the prince has gold from the Annan kingdom." It is not surprising that myna has gold from the Annan kingdom. But it is intriguing that the elder brother of the prince has the gold of An Nanguo.

"Your Highness, is there anything wrong with His Royal Highness having the gold from An Nanguo?" Tong Xi didn't quite understand what Zhao Yao meant, "Don't you also have the gold from An Nanguo?"

"I'm not surprised, but it's a bit strange for the prince to have it." Zhao Yao said thoughtfully, "It seems that in recent years, the prince's brother and Zhen Guogong have a very close relationship with the royal family of An Nanguo. "【Intimate】two words, Zhao Yao is very important.

Zhao Yao had a bold guess in his heart.In order to obtain the throne, the eldest prince of An Nanguo colluded with the prince and his elder brother in private.In order to get the help of the prince's elder brother, the eldest prince "honored" many things to the prince's elder brother in private, and gold is one of them.

Although Zhao Yao and He Lianfang had already guessed that His Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness Daiwang would contact the princes of Annan Kingdom in private, Zhao Yao and the others did not investigate how they hooked up together, nor did they send anyone to watch them.

If Zhao Yao and the others stared at the crown prince and the acting king, they would be easily discovered, and then their people in Annan Kingdom would be exposed.

Tong Xi's expression instantly became gossip, and he said with sparkling eyes, "Your Highness, do you mean that His Highness the Crown Prince is having an affair with An Nanguo?"

"It's more than one leg." With the ambition and methods of Duke Zhen, I'm afraid he has a deeper purpose, such as using Annan's gold to raise soldiers or forge weapons, or to buy people. "And starling, he must have an ulterior relationship with the royal family of An Nanguo."

There will only be one update tonight, and there will be no time for the second update.
