Chapter 634: Eat his flesh, drink his blood, break his bones, suck his marrow,
Yongwang Mansion Study Room
"Little bastard!"
King Yong picked up the platinum tea bowl with blooming flowers and wealth in his hand, and smashed it on the ground. 'Pop', broken porcelain pieces flew everywhere, "Chang Gui! Send someone immediately to kill this little thief."
"
His chief butler had just told him that Wang Lidong had returned to Tokyo. When he heard this name, he felt an uncontrollable urge to kill.
Originally, he and Prince Yan were competing for the reserve position. In the past six months, his chances of winning have become more and more obvious. I heard that the officials intend to let him sacrifice for the emperor next year.
"Zuo Zhuan·Cheng Gong·Thirteenth Year of Cheng Gong": "The great affairs of the country lie in sacrifice and war." Interpretation: The great affairs of the country lie in sacrifice and war.
Sacrifice to heaven is the most solemn and solemn sacrificial ceremony in the past dynasties. It originated in ancient times and is a form of "communication" between man and heaven.
Usually the emperor personally presides over the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven. Through this traditional ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, people express their gratitude to the heaven for nourishing and nurturing all things, and pray to the emperor and God to bless the people all over the world.
If the emperor is unable to offer sacrifices in person, only the crown prince is qualified to offer sacrifices.
This signal is too obvious.
After learning the news, King Yong was so excited that he couldn't sleep for several nights.
It seems that it won't be long before he can be crowned the crown prince.
Who would have thought that there was a bolt from the blue, and the current official family actually listened to Huangkou's son Qi Heng's suggestion and invited all the clans from all over the world to compete for the dragon throne.
mmp.
In the past ten years of fighting for savings, he had spent all the wealth he had accumulated over the past century and owed a lot of debts. Now he was suddenly told that the rules of the game had changed. The previous ones were not counted and all were torn down.
Again.
Anyone who encounters it will not be able to bear it!
At that time, he almost called all his younger brothers, rushed into the Duke of Qi's mansion with his sword, and chopped down Qi Heng, this wicked and smoking thing!
Zhao Zhonghan, the eldest son of King Yong of Wei, asked, "Who is your father trying to kill?"
"Qi Heng, that snarling little beast is back!" King Yong took the tea bowl handed over by the butler and took three big sips. "If I don't kill him, it will be difficult to relieve the hatred in my heart!"
The housekeeper immediately agreed, and when he was about to go out, he was stopped by a middle-aged scribe, who was none other than Mr. Xu, the chief aide of King Yong.
Mr. Xu bowed to Prince Yong and then said, "Your Majesty, there must be countless eyes staring at Prince Yong and Prince Yan at this time.
Anyone who dares to take action will definitely be able to hide it. And now he will not let it go as gently as usual. When the time comes, the prince will have no choice but to raise the flag.
But now our arrangements have not been completed, and the success rate of the uprising is less than 30%.
The prince needs to endure it a little longer.
I think that in half a year, we will be able to recruit a sufficient number of troops. By then, we can seize the palace in one fell swoop. When the prince ascends to the throne, not to mention the little Qi Heng, the life and death of Qi Guogong Qi Hai will depend on your words.
.”
"Be patient, bear with me!" King Yong slapped the eucalyptus hard several times, and sprayed his finger on the chief staff member, "You know how to bear it! I have been enduring it for almost ten years, and I have turned into a big turtle!"
The chief staff member lowered his head and wiped the saliva on his face with his sleeve. He cursed Wu Gui in his heart, you idiot! If it weren't for the 100-guan monthly salary, he would have packed up and left long ago.
Not long after he entered the capital, he proposed to King Yong to win over more generals. Youdao means you have soldiers in hand and don't panic. Sooner or later they will be needed.
Moreover, most of the generals are hereditary, and a one-time investment will last a lifetime. It is definitely a very nice project.
Not this one!
As for the nobles and the military, it is enough to win over the big headscarves. As for the big-headed soldiers, they are not worthy of being on the stage. When they grasp the general situation, they will bow to them.
If you listen to him, in the past ten years, not to mention controlling most of the capital's forbidden army, 50,000 to 60,000 will still be somewhat certain.
The Lord of Jiacheng County stood up and said, "Father, my daughter has an idea that can bring tens of millions of dollars in wealth and harvest half of the imperial army in the capital!"
King Yong glanced at his little girl. Although he didn't believe that his precious daughter could come up with any good ideas, he still pretended to be very interested and asked, "Jia Cheng's idea must be a good one. Tell daddy."
The Lord of Jiacheng County nodded and said, "Father, there are two things we urgently need to solve right now, money and military power. However, the Duke of Qi has no shortage of these two things.
In terms of money, not counting the family fortune of the Duke of Qi, Qi Heng's personal income in these years alone is estimated to be more than 30 million guan. If the Duke's palace is included, the amount should be 60 to 70 million guan.
And his maternal grandfather, Marquis Xiangyang, holds 150,000 imperial troops. If he can capture Qi Heng, then my father will be able to clear all obstacles and ascend to the great treasure."
Zhao Zhongcheng, the third son of King Yong, the Duke of Cao, sneered and said, "Little sister, what are you going through all the twists and turns? Just say you want to marry Qi Heng. It's a pity that people don't like you at all, so what you say is all nonsense!"
"
When Wei Guogong Zhao Zhonghan saw his younger sister's expression, he immediately scolded his third brother Zhao Zhongcheng, "Third brother, how can you say that to my younger sister! If you think my younger sister's plan is not good, then you have a better one.
Come on?! Say it and let everyone listen."
Cao Guogong Zhao Zhongcheng pretended to be surprised and said, "How does the elder brother know that I have a better idea?"
Wei Guogong Zhao Zhonghan was a little surprised, so he said it casually, mainly to stop this guy's mouth, but he didn't expect it to happen.
】
Seeing everyone in the study looking at him, Zhao Zhongcheng shook his head and said, "My idea is to let the current officials directly issue an edict to make my father the prince. Of course, I will decide whether the officials will not listen to me.
I no longer know.
Just like my younger sister wants to marry Qi Heng, it’s not her who has the final say!”
"Pa!" King Yong slammed the paperweight on his side to the ground, pointed at Lao San and cursed angrily, "Get out! Get out of here!"
"Get out! I didn't want to come in the first place!"
After seeing his third son rolling out of the study, King Yong sat down and calmed down before asking, "Jia Cheng, you have a good idea, but this matter is a bit difficult to handle."
Duke Zhao Zhonghan of Wei looked at his younger sister and said, "Father, actually this is not difficult to do."
King Yong asked curiously, "Tell me about it."
Zhao Zhonghan said: "If the soft one doesn't work, then use the hard one!"
Let's catch one of Duke Qi or Princess Pingning. I think Qi Heng will not disregard the safety of his parents. When the marriage contract is signed and he regrets it later, he will need his father to step in."
King Yong patted the book in joy and said with a smile, "This is a good idea. As long as Qi Heng dares to go back on his word after signing the marriage contract, I will sue Dauchi!"
I am the prince of the clan. If I dare to break the contract, I am looking down on our Zhao and Song royal family. Even if His Majesty knows the reason, he has to let Qi Heng marry Jiacheng.
At that time, outsiders will think that the officials and the family are interested in me, plus the money and military power of the Qi family... a big deal is done!"
The more the father and son chatted, the more they felt that the plan was feasible. When they were about to discuss how to implement the plan in detail, King Yong accidentally caught a glimpse of a sneer on the lips of his chief staff member, and he suddenly felt a little unhappy in his heart.
If this guy wasn't really capable and was related to the princess, he would have packed up his bed and left the house long ago.
After waving his children to quiet down, he asked the chief staff member, "Sir, it seems that you don't like Han'er's plan?"
The chief staff member stroked his beard, shook the feather fan in his hand, and said slowly, "Your Majesty, if only half a month ago, this strategy would have been feasible.
At that time, the prince's power was at its peak, and the throne was easily available. No matter how reluctant the Duke of Qi was, he did not dare to offend the future officials.
Moreover, Qi Heng is the only one who is dissatisfied with the Duke of Qi's government. Duke Qi and Princess Ning should be happy to see this matter come to fruition."
At this point, Mr. Xu picked up the teacup and found it was empty. The butler on the side was very discerning, so he immediately picked up the teapot and helped fill it up. After taking two sips of the tea, he moistened his throat and continued, "But now we can't
Speaking of Qi Heng's attitude, Duke Qi and Princess Ning would not agree.
Since the emperor announced that all clans can participate in the fight for the crown prince, it has shown that his attitude towards the prince and King Yan... is dissatisfied!
Otherwise, there is no need to go to the trouble of involving other clans.
Even if the prince caused trouble in the palace, the emperor ordered Qi Heng to marry the county head for the sake of the clan's face.
A smart person like Qi Heng would definitely not refute the official, but after receiving the imperial edict, he would use the word "drag" for countless reasons.
Even if His Majesty knew, he would not embarrass him.
As long as it is delayed until now to determine the candidate for the throne, if the prince becomes the prince, the Duke of Qi will follow suit and arrange for Qi Heng to marry the county head.
If the prince loses the election, then it will be delayed until the new emperor ascends the throne. At that time, a piece of paper will be reported to the emperor and the matter of how the prince forced Qi Heng to sign the engagement will be placed in the court. This can both terminate the engagement and serve as a certificate of submission to the new emperor.
The emperor expresses his feelings!"
King Yong thought about it for a moment, and then said somewhat discouraged, "What you said is not unreasonable."
When Wei Guogong Zhao Zhonghan saw his staff's calm and relaxed expressions, he cupped his hands and said, "Sir, do you have any good ideas?"
The chief staff member nodded slightly.
Duke Zhao Zhonghan of Wei quickly stood up, bowed deeply to his chief staff member, and said, "I hope you can teach me, sir."
The chief staff member hurriedly moved half a foot to the side and said, "Wei Guogong does not need to be polite. This is my duty."
After Zhao Zhonghan sat down, Mr. Xu looked at the Lord of Jiacheng County and said, "Actually, my method comes from Wei Guogong's plan. However, this matter requires the cooperation of the County Lord and will damage the County Lord's reputation. I don't know the County Lord.
....”
The Lord of Jiacheng County said without hesitation, "As long as I can help my father ascend to the great treasure, my reputation doesn't matter, it will be lost."
King Yong was warmed by his daughter. He looked at Jiacheng with a kind face, feeling that his daughter's pain was not in vain.
"The filial piety of the Lord of Jiacheng County is commendable, and the prince is really lucky." The chief staff member praised, and then continued, "My strategy is to go straight to Huanglong.
Arrest Qi Heng directly into the palace, make him drunk with wine, and cook with the county boss."
w(?Д?)w
Everyone in the study was dumbfounded by Mr. Xu's bold method. The head of Jiacheng County was blushing. Although she has a carefree temper, she is a girl who has not left the court after all...
However, the chief staff member seemed not to notice everyone's reaction. He became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke, spitting, "After it became a good thing, he spread the news to the whole capital that night, saying that Wei Guogong appreciated Qi Heng's good literary talent and invited him to join us.
The prince asked for advice. Unexpectedly, after drinking too much, Qi Heng accidentally broke into the boudoir of the county lord, who was taking a bath at the time..."
"Ah!" Lord Jiacheng covered his red face, stamped his feet and ran away with a puff of smoke.
"Ahem!" King Yong interrupted quickly and said, "Sir, what if Qi Heng doesn't recognize me?"
The chief staff member slightly shook the white feather fan in his hand, and smoothed two long beards under his chin with his left hand. He had a three-point style of Mr. Zhuge. "Early the next morning, the prince and princess led the county lord to arrive before the imperial palace gate opened.
Waiting outside the palace, after the palace door was opened, the prince went to his majesty to cry, and the princess took the county head to find the queen and asked her to make the decision for the county head... This matter is absolutely settled."
"What if we use the word 'drag'?"
"Haha! Then it's hard for Princess Kuang to take the county lord and live in the Duke of Qi's mansion. Now that the two of them are married, they can't let go of this debt! After this incident, no one dares to marry their daughter into the Duke of Qi's house.
Mansion."
Zheng Guogong, the second son of King Yong, frowned slightly and said,
"Isn't this... too unfair to my little sister? I think my little sister won't agree, right?"
Although according to Mr. Xu's plan, Qi Heng became immoral after drinking, but after all, he was just doing that before marriage... He will definitely be cast aside behind his back in the future.
The Fourth Prince of Yong said with a smile on his face but not on his face,
"Second brother, you are worrying too much. No one in the capital knows what she is thinking. If you dare to speak out against her, she will whip you with a horse whip..."
.....................................
Duke's Mansion of Qi
After Wang Lidong came back from Korea, he was very busy.
After going out for a shopping trip, I made nearly 30 million guan in cash, plus hundreds of ships from the royal family's collection and collections from major families. When all are sold, 100 million guan is a bit dangerous, but 80 to 90 million guan is definitely available.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! With so much money, it is not spent, and it cannot have babies in the warehouse. It is just the right time to start the money bank (bank) plan that has been prepared for many years.
He has made a lot of money in the past few years, but there are so many ways to spend money. At the end of each year, there is not much money left in his pocket.
Therefore, the bank's plan has been shelved, and it only opened a pilot in its own trading company. It ran for more than four years, established a risk monitoring system suitable for the current situation, and also trained thousands of financial personnel.
Now that he had enough capital, Wang Lidong waved his hand and opened 31 stores in the 17 counties of Kaifeng Prefecture, the four cities in the southeast, northwest and northwest of Tokyo, plus the ten large farms under his control, to test the waters.
"Heng'er, there will be a chrysanthemum appreciation party in three days. If you are free, come with me." After dinner in the evening, when Wang Lidong was about to go for a walk, Qi's mother stopped him and said.
"Who organized it?"
"Mrs. Zhongjinghou."
Wang Lidong thought for a moment and then said,
"I still won't go. Maybe Princess Yong or Princess Yan will go too. If they see me, they will probably chop me with a knife!"
At present, the entire Zhao and Song clan should be friendly to Wang Lidong or the Duke of Qi.
Without him, most of the clan members would not have had a chance to compete for the throne when the Song Dynasty fell.
Although the success rate of participating is very low, it doesn’t cost much. If you give it a try, if you are selected, your bicycle will turn into an aircraft carrier and you will make a lot of money!
Of course, except for King Yan and King Yong, these two people wanted to eat his flesh, drink his blood, break his bones, suck his marrow, sleep on his skin, and pluck out his hair...
"You really don't want to go?" Princess Pingning reminded, "I heard that Mrs. Zhongjing Hou also invited the old lady of the Sheng family this time. All the girls from the Sheng family should be there by then."
"I see you every day, but I won't go. Mother will have more fun then."
Wang Lidong thought to himself that he couldn't go even more. Given my temperament, I might deliberately find trouble with Ru Lan that day, and if I find the right one, then I would scold Ru Lan in front of him, and he would be successful.
Got sandwich cookies.
Qi's mother put down the tea cup in her hand, looked at her son and said, "What have you been busy with lately? I went out early in the morning and didn't come back until midnight."
Wang Lidong briefly talked about the bank affairs. Seeing Qi's mother's lack of interest, she thought for a moment and said, "Mom, in two years, my grandpa will be 70, right?"
Qi's mother nodded and said, "I am 67 this year, what are you doing?"
Wang Lidong sighed slightly, looked at Qi's father and said, "It would be great if I had a younger brother, so that the title of Marquis of Xiangyang would not fall into the hands of others."
Qi's father was startled, and then he slapped his thigh heavily.
He had been riding horses for so many years, thinking all day about finding foreign aid for Heng'er to continue his family's prosperity, but he completely turned a blind eye to such a great opportunity.
Lord Taishan has no children, only his wife, a daughter. Over the years, the clan has been trying to give him an adoptive heir.
But Lao Taishan still refused to accept his old age and wanted to have a biological son. Unfortunately, God failed to fulfill his wishes... He is almost 70, and there is basically no hope.
If he and his wife had another son, and he would be adopted into the Marquis of Xiangyang Mansion, Lao Taishan would definitely be willing to do so. By then, his family would have two hereditary and irreplaceable titles!
