Become a feudal king from today

"Xie Yu greets His Highness.��

In the reception hall of the palace, a middle-aged businessman in a green robe saw Zhao Xu and bowed to him.

"No need to bow." Zhao Xu said.

Not long after Feng'er left, the Xie family arrived.

Needless to say, the purpose of the powerful family is naturally for artillery.

But Zhao Xu still has some plans for the Xie family.

This is related to whether the powerful family can be divided and disintegrated.

"I was about to send someone to the capital to give a generous gift to the Queen and the Prince, but I didn't expect someone from your Xie family to come, but it's just right, this time you can take it back. "Zhao Xu said.

Xie Yu was slightly surprised when he heard this.

Although he was not an official in the court, he was also an important person in the Xie family. He had long known that the Xie family intended to win over the King of Yan.

It was just that the King of Yan had always been very cold, as if the Xie family was just enthusiastic.

Now that the King of Yan suddenly mentioned giving generous gifts to Queen Xie and the Prince, he was naturally surprised.

Especially when the King of Yan called the deposed Prince the Prince.

In his opinion, the King of Yan was not a reckless person.

There must be a deep meaning behind calling the Prince like this, and this deep meaning was that he was telling him.

He admitted that the deposed Prince was the Prince.

This was equivalent to He was on the side of the Xie family.

Thinking of this, he was slightly excited.

The battle for the throne was related to the status of the eight powerful families in the era of the new monarch.

Both the Xie family and other families attached great importance to it.

Now, if the support of the King of Yan was obtained, the deposed prince would have a better chance of inheriting the throne.

Thinking of this, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

He felt cordial when he looked at the King of Yan.

Since the King of Yan supported the prince, they were his own people.

At least before the prince ascended the throne, they were still his own people.

"It is my honor to be entrusted by your highness." Xie Yu said with a bow.

Zhao Xu nodded and said, "I heard that the grain of the world comes from the Xie family. I wonder if this is true or not? "

Xie Yu has been doing business for many years, so he is not a stupid person.

The King of Yan mentioned this matter right away, and he must not just ask about the food of the Xie family.

After all, everyone in Dasong knows this.

After rolling his eyes, he came to his senses.

The King of Yan wants benefits. After all, joining the battle for the crown prince is very risky.

Once the prince is defeated and other princes take the throne, the King of Yan will inevitably be suppressed in the future.

So he said: "Your Highness, I am not bragging. This is what the Xie family can afford. The two lakes are ripe, and the world is full. These two lakes are under the control of the Xie family."

"It's really enviable." Zhao Xu said.

Then he showed a sad look, "Unlike this king, I have to worry about food all day long."

"Oh?" Xie Yu thought for a while and asked: "I don't know what difficulties your highness has encountered. Maybe the Xie family can help. "It's the last turmoil in Yanzhou. Now the people in the four northern counties are displaced, and there are many victims. The four counties are short of food and can't sustain themselves. If it continues, people will starve to death." Yan Wang sighed. Xie Yu understood. He arrived in Yancheng yesterday. Because Yan Wang didn't come back, he went around and saw many victims at the north gate. I guess that's what Yan Wang was talking about. Thinking of this, he was happy. It would be best for Yan Wang to ask the Xie family for help. And he knew that Yanzhou's food was always insufficient. Even when Yuan Li was the governor, he often bought food from the south to supply the army. Now Yan Wang is also facing this problem. He thinks he has grasped Yan Wang's shortcomings. If he uses it well, Yan Wang will be firmly trapped on the Xie family's warship. How can he not be happy. "So it's this matter, a small matter." Xie Yu said, "To be honest with you, Your Highness, I came to Yancheng this time to do some business with you. I believe your highness knows that this business is artillery. "

After a pause, he said: "Since His Highness is short of food, why not exchange it with cannons."

Zhao Xu narrowed his eyes slightly.

He thought that none of these powerful families were easy to deal with.

He just showed a little weakness, and Xie Yu wanted to raise the price.

He asked him to exchange cannons for food, and didn't mention that his support for the prince was worth a million stones of food.

"This is a way, the Han family also said so, and Qizhou is a few steps away from Yanzhou, so it is less laborious to transport food here. "Zhao Xu raised his head slightly and murmured.

When Xie Yu heard this, the smile on his face froze.

At this time, his heart almost stopped beating with fear.

He admitted that he had some evil thoughts and deliberately did not mention supporting the prince. He even wanted to use food to suppress the price of artillery so that he could take credit when he returned.

But his thoughts must have been seen through by the King of Yan.

If the prince lost the support of the King of Yan because of him, the artillery business would not be done.

He would be beaten to death if he returned.

"Your Highness, how can the food of the Han family be as good and cheap as that of the Xie family." Xie Yu hurriedly said, "In this way, can I go to the capital to discuss with the head of the family?"

"Okay, by the way, tell you that the artillery is 8,000 taels per piece. How much silver and food should you prepare? You can decide for yourself." Zhao Xu said another sentence.

This sentence was already very impolite.

"Yes, Your Highness. "Xie Yu secretly complained, and just wanted to slap himself.

I ruined the good atmosphere of the king.

Having said goodbye in a hurry, Xie Yu turned and left.

When Xie Yu's figure disappeared, Zhao Xu sneered.

This Xie Yu didn't understand one thing at all.

All the eight powerful families have food, but only his family has artillery, no one else has it.

It's not that easy to control him.

Here, Xie Yu left the palace and set off to return.

Seven days later, he returned to the capital and truthfully conveyed Zhao Xu's words to Queen Xie.

"You idiot, you almost ruined something big."

At this time, Queen Xie, Xie Duan, and Zhao Gang were all playing in the Xie Family Garden outside Jinling City.

After listening, Queen Xie raised her hand and was about to slap Xie Yu.

Xie Yu was frightened when he saw this.

Xie Duan was also slightly angry and said, "Get out of here."

Xie Yu said yes and hurriedly left.

"Mother, uncle, with the support of the ninth brother, I am not afraid of the third brother or the second brother." As soon as Xie Yu left, Zhao Gang danced happily.

Queen Xie and Xie Duan also had smiles on their faces.

During this period, they showed their kindness to Concubine Mi every time, and it was not in vain.

These days, the third prince has another supporter from the Ma family.

All the Ma family officials who were originally neutral in the court began to speak for the third prince.

And the second prince, who they thought had fallen out of favor, suddenly had the support of officials from the Wang family and the Liang family, and the situation in the court changed drastically.

Therefore, Dou Weiqi, who thought he was sure of victory, refused to go to court for several days.

The Xie family is even more panicked. Obviously, the crown prince will have to choose one of the two.

So now King Yan's support for the prince is simply timely.

The Xie family must catch them.

"Uncle, King Yan's request is not too much. Since he supports the prince, it doesn't matter if he gives him hundreds of thousands of taels of food. As for the artillery, it's just business." Queen Xie was also a little excited.

The chest that had been suppressed relaxed and my breathing became much easier.

Xie Duan nodded, "As long as King Yan supports the prince, anything can be said. I will send another person to Yancheng to have a good talk with King Yan."

Queen Xie smiled and nodded.
