Chapter 165 Chen Qiao Mutiny IV
Zhao Pu looked at Xu Xian who was sitting on the bed and cupped his hands and said, "Just ask your Majesty for any conditions you have. As long as the conditions are reasonable, I will agree on behalf of the Lieutenant!"
Xu Xian snorted heavily inside his nose, "We brothers are talking, who are you? Get out of here!"
Zhao Pu did not leave but sat down and said slowly: "Everyone said that your lord Yin was ruthless and merciless, but I knew that your lord was lenient and kind. I can serve under the command of the Taiwei thanks to your recommendation. Today I am very aggressive."
Come here and criticize the Taiwei blindly, are you so arrogant that you think the 100,000 troops under the Taiwei's command are just decorations?"
"Haha..." Xu Xian laughed loudly, "One hundred thousand soldiers want to support Brother Yuen Long for promotion and wealth. They probably don't want to fight to the death against the notorious Red Scarf. Although the Red Scarf is ineffective, if everyone
Bringing a sky-shaking thunder is enough to stir up these 100,000 people, and it shouldn't be a problem to drag them until Han Tong arrives!"
When Xu Xian mentioned Zhentian Lei, Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but frown. Seeing the angry look on Zhao Pu's face next to him, he quietly stepped on Zhao Pu's shoes.
Zhao Pu's expression immediately changed, and the words he was about to say also softened, "It's not that the Taiwei is disloyal, it's really because the officers and men want wealth, and the Taiwei has no choice but to follow it.
Your Majesty and the Taiwei are sworn brothers, and they are even better than Qin and Jin. Now that the Taiwei is on the string and has no choice but to make a move, can your Duke still wield his sword to break the string and cause the Taiwei and the Zhao family to fall into the abyss?
If the Taiwei is the emperor, the duke should be given the first priority, and if the wife is honored as the eldest princess, how can the Xu family be less wealthy?"
After he finished speaking, he took a step forward and bowed down to Xu Xian, begging: "Your Majesty, please don't do anything to make your relatives hate your enemies!"
Seeing Xu Xian's face sinking into the water, Zhao Kuangyin finally spoke. He stood up and said to Xu Xian: "If it weren't for my greed for wealth and honor, the late emperor passed away and the young master ascended the throne. Countless people in the court and the feudal town were ready to do something. Even if Zhao hadn't done it, there would have been something wrong.
others!"
Xu Xian jumped up and down from the bed, "You are right, even if there is no Brother Yuen Long, there will be others, but others can do such things, but Brother Yuen Long should not do it. Taizu and the late Emperor treated Brother Yuen Long okay
It is said that we have the kindness of knowing and meeting, but today, brother Yuen Long does not cherish the old kindness and wants to seize the world from the hands of orphans and widowed mothers. It can be said to be treachery!"
Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but look ashamed after hearing this. He pondered for a while and said: "Is it Zhao who is ashamed of Taizu and the late emperor? However, today the world is in chaos and the people are hanging upside down. The late emperor worked hard to govern and conquered the north and south. Only then did the Central Plains improve to some extent? The unification of the world is just around the corner."
But God forbid, the late emperor died young. Today, a child is in charge of the country. The young master is doubtful, and there are internal and external troubles. It will be more difficult to achieve anything in the more than ten years of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Although a certain person is not talented, he is willing to risk his life and reputation to become a thief.
, Just to unify the world and bring happiness to the people? Please help me if you are free!"
As he spoke, he actually bowed to Xu Xian. Xu Xian quickly stepped forward to support him and said with a smile, "Brother Yuen Long, is he so ambitious? If I don't help, it would be too...unkind."
When Zhao Pu heard this, he said happily: "So? Your Majesty is also here to support the Taiwei?"
"Yeah!" Xu Xian nodded heavily, "It's just that Brother Yuen Long became an official? Has he gained thousands of miles of land and countless people? His descendants will be rich for generations, and what can I get?"
He has come all the way here, and all the words he just said were just for this one sentence. There is no better time than now.
He is not here to be an audience, to watch director Zhao Pu's drama full of loopholes, nor to watch the scene of Zhao Kuangyin ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor and the ministers kowtowing. He is here to blackmail, to extort!
Xu Xian is like those beggars and ruffians who block the sedan when you get married. They give you wedding money so that you can have a smooth wedding and enter the bridal chamber happily. If you don't give it, don't blame him for causing trouble.
Is it despicable? It’s really despicable, but it’s not as despicable as the groom, because he got his bride by force!
In order to achieve good things, I believe that Zhao Kuangyin will make the same choice as the bridegroom, and further become the supreme emperor. If he takes a step back, he will die and his family will be destroyed. I believe that Zhao Kuangyin will be willing to pay for this wedding money.
"Hahaha..." Zhao Pu stood up and laughed and said: "I have already said that if your Majesty has the conditions, you can ask for it, why bother to spend so much money! I wonder what title or official position your Majesty wants?"
Xu Xian smiled and said: "Don't you understand me, Mr. Zhao? I am a real person and I don't care about those vain honors!"
Zhao Pu smiled and said: "I understand. As far as I know, the new tea business was founded by Ling Gong, and was later taken away by Taizu. After Taiwei ascended the throne, he removed the tea tax department and bought it to Ling Gong.
how?"
Zhao Pu felt that he was very sincere and sent Xu Xian away without taking hundreds of thousands of guan. This was a long-term business with an annual income of 2 million guan. I believe it should be able to satisfy Xu Xian's appetite.
Unexpectedly, Xu Xian sneered, "You also said that it was my business, but it was borrowed by Taizu, and it was included in the account. Now that Zhou Dynasty is about to die, shouldn't it be returned to me?
Brother Yuen Long?”
Zhao Kuangyin smiled and said: "It belongs to Zhixian, so it should be returned to Zhixian!" He said with a wink from Zhao Pu.
Zhao Pu continued to ask: "Your Majesty has already obtained money, does he still want more people? After the Taiwei ascends the throne, he can order the Queen Mother to become a monk and practice. After a year and a half, she can welcome her home."
"Hahaha..." Xu Xian raised his head and laughed loudly after hearing this. He suddenly raised his hand and slapped Zhao Pu. The slap hit Zhao Pu's cheek quickly and fiercely, knocking him to the ground directly, and said to Zhao Kuangyin:
"He came up with such a bad idea to make me let Ning Xiu down. As an elder brother, why don't you just scold him?"
"It's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Who doesn't have someone in his heart? My brother also has someone in his heart and can understand Zhixian's hardships." Zhao Kuangyin reached out and helped Zhao Pu up from the ground, "Zhixian is drunk.
, don’t take it to heart, just go out now, it’s enough for me to take care of you here.”
"Mr. Zhao, don't leave, I have something else for you to do!"
Zhao Pu, who received a slap, became low-brow and submissive, but could not hide the resentment in his eyes and said: "Does your Majesty have any other instructions?"
"I just want you to be a witness!"
Xu Xian took out a roll of paper from his arms and handed it to Zhao Kuangyin, "Brother Yuen Long, look at this, this is what I want!"
Zhao Kuangyin opened the scroll and saw that it was the map of the Great Zhou Dynasty, except that Huainan, Henghai and the prefecture and county passes that Chai Rong had just captured during the Northern Expedition were all mapped in red.
Zhao Kuangyin's expression changed after one glance. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Xu Xian and said, "Are you going to split the soil and seal the country?"
"Brother Yuen Long is joking. If I split the earth and seal the country, other Jiedu will definitely learn from me, and the huge Central Plains will fall apart again. This is not what I want to see. These places were conquered by the late Emperor with all his efforts, and the hearts of the people have not yet
It is also troublesome to submit and manage.
