Become a feudal king from today

The night is already dark. read

Tiemu Pagoda was still waiting quietly in the Honglu Posthouse in Jinling, which was specially designed to entertain envoys.

At midnight, there were footsteps outside his door.

Then, led by an official from Honglu Temple, seven men in black robes walked in.

"Dou Kuang, the eldest son of Dou, Wang Bi, the eldest son of Wang, Han Xin, the eldest son of Han, Fan Tong, the eldest son of Fan, Liang Feng, the eldest son of Liang, Xiao He, the eldest son of Xiao, and Xie An, the eldest son of Xie," Honglu Temple officials told Tiemu one by one. Tower introduction.

Tiemuta was startled for a moment, then laughed loudly, "Fortunately, fortunately, I didn't expect to see seven of the eight young masters of Jinling today. It's just a pity that the Ma family is missing."

"Ma Han returned to Qinzhou two years ago. He has always been at odds with us..." Dou Kuang snorted, but he only said half of what he said, as if he was unwilling to reveal too much.

Upon hearing this, Tiemuta's pupils dilated slightly, but they immediately returned to normal.

For him, he needs every piece of important information.

After laughing softly for a few times, he pretended to be surprised and asked, "I wonder what important business the seven young masters have here?"

"Why should you pretend to be confused, envoy? But you are begging to see us." Han Xin said.

The Beidi official behind Tiemuta suddenly showed a fierce look in his eyes.

In front of these powerful people, the son of Beidi Khan and the future heir to the throne of Khan, they dared to speak so rudely.

Tiemuta was displeased, but coughed lightly to stop the accompanying officials from getting angry.

However, this proves from the side that no one in Dasong knows his true identity.

"Don't blame the envoy, he just has this temper." Wang Bi immediately smoothed things over, showing a bit of tact and sophistication.

This time, each family sent their eldest son here just to show that the powerful family attached great importance to this visit.

He didn't want to break up because of Han Xin's bad temper.

"It doesn't matter. Mr. Han is absolutely right. Since you can come this time, you are naturally willing to deal with us Beidi in private." Tiemuta said.

Dou Kuang nodded, "What we want to tell the envoy this time is that our seven powerful families have always advocated peace and are willing to serve as a bridge between Beidi and Dasong, turning hostility into friendship."

Xiliang surrendered to Beidi, and the situation of the three kingdoms turned into a struggle between two powerful forces.

Next, Beidi is bound to continue to start wars.

After discussion, their father concluded that this was a crisis for Da Song, but it was an opportunity for them to make a profit.

If you show your peaceful attitude to Beidi, you will be recognized by the people of Beidi.

If Beidi wins the throne in the future, they will also have a way out.

Secondly, as long as there is a war, there will be war property.

Jumping sideways repeatedly between Dasong and Beidi will naturally benefit the most.

In the last years of the Wu Dynasty, just like today's Dasong, there were constant wars with the grassland countries in the north.

The six powerful families of the Wu Dynasty at that time belonged to the Zhuhe Sect just like they do now.

They not only fought with the Wu Dynasty royal family against the Prairie Kingdom, but also had inextricable connections with the Prairie Kingdom privately.

While taking the royal silver, he also had frequent trade contacts with the grassland countries, which can be said to be an advantage.

Afterwards, the Wu Dynasty royal family and the Prairie Empire became increasingly weak due to wars, but the six major clans became increasingly powerful. They eventually overthrew the Wu Dynasty and established the Liang Dynasty.

Then they launched the Northern Expedition and defeated the grassland countries, establishing the dominance of the Liang Dynasty.

The most powerful clan was elected as the new royal family.

Now, a similar era has dawned.

This is undoubtedly an opportunity for them.

"Hmph...you better not spare me and just talk about what you want to get from Beidi?" Tiemuta glanced at the seven people.

These clichés are of no use to him.

"Your Majesty, the envoy is so cheerful. We want to trade privately with Beidi. We want war horses, beef sinews, horns, and skins," Dou Kuang said.

Temuta frowned.

Everything the powerful clans want are supplies needed for the war.

Needless to say, war horses, beef tendons and horns can be used to make bows and arrows, and fur can be used as the lining of armor.

It's just that the transaction is reciprocal. If the powerful clans can't give him the chips he wants, he won't agree to it, so he said: "It's very simple. This trade can be carried out from Jinzhou and from the sea. It's just that What can you give Beidi?”

The seven people looked at each other after hearing this.

Dou Kuang said: "We have already helped you, you don't really think that we believe that the Yuan family is innocent, right? With the Yuan family here, we can restrain the King Yan who you hate most in Beidi, right?"

Temuta was startled.

However, he would not be deceived by a young boy like Dou Kuang, "This matter does not count. You are doing this for your own sake. If you don't show sincerity, go back."

Dou Kuang frowned. When he came, his father had said that the Beidi envoy would not be dismissed so easily.

So he took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Temuta.

"This is our sincerity. Please believe, envoy, that we are by no means enemies of Beidi." Dou Kuang said.

Temuta took the note, glanced at it, his expression changed slightly, and then he showed a thick smile, "Deal."

This time he bet correctly, these powerful people are really only interested in profit.

Now give them a little sweetness and they will be more willing to take risks.

And this is regarded as a meeting gift for Beidi to make friends with the Dashong clan.

One day, they may continue to cooperate with Beidi.

After agreeing on the private trade, Dou Kuang and others left under the guidance of officials from Honglu Temple.

Get on the carriage.

Coming out of Honglu Temple Post House,

Dou Kuang looked back with a mocking look, "Beidi people are really stupid. This time they are really in vain."

"That's right, now our family has gotten a huge advantage." Han Xin laughed.

Fan Tong looked displeased and said to Dou Kuang, "What did you write on the paper for the Beidi people?"

He had no idea what was on the note.

So when he came out of the post house, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

Dou Kuang said, "Not only do you not know, but others also don't know. The less you know about this matter, the better."

After a pause, he continued: "But what I can tell you is that this is a strategy to deal with King Yan. The Yuan family may not be able to suppress King Yan, so they still need to borrow the help of Beidi. In this way, they fight with each other. We can profit from it.”

Han Xin and others originally wanted to ask, but Fan Tong was the first to speak. They were about to ask Dou Kuang, but when they heard what he said, they simply shut up.

Just as Dou Kuang said, they just want Beidi, Dasong, King Yan, and the Yuan family to fight against each other.

Among the four, they will help whoever is weak. In this way, they will all ask for help from them.

In this way, their profits will naturally be the greatest.

Dispersed.

Dou Kuang returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Seeing that the light was still on in his father's study, he walked over and knocked on the door.

Hearing "come in", he walked in.

"Father, my son has met the Beidi envoy, and he agreed. This time our seven families can trade privately with Beidi. The Beidi envoy said that the trade can be done in Jinzhou or at sea. They have some merchant ships that can reach the Yuan family. Fan Yang can also reach the Han family's Qizhou." Dou Kuang lowered his head, not daring to raise his head and look directly at his father.

Although Dou Wei always looked easy-going in front of courtiers, he knew how serious Dou Wei was at home.

"Well, the Ma family is in charge. This deal was not possible in Jinzhou before, but if our plan with Beidi works this time, it won't be a problem." Dou Wei said.

After coughing a few times, he added: "But for the sake of safety, we can trade in Qizhou at the same time. The Han family is also involved in this matter. We are all in the same boat, so don't worry."

When Dou Wei spoke, his eyes stayed on a piece of paper.

This is information from Yanzhou.

Since King Yan took charge of Yanzhou, he sent the Dou family's informants to Yanzhou to collect intelligence.

So even though he was in Jinling, he knew exactly what was happening in Yanzhou.

After reading the contents on the paper, he frowned. Seeing Dou Kuang standing in front of him, he said, "Come and take a look too."

Dou Kuang came closer and his expression suddenly changed after just one glance, "Father, this King Yan is so bold. Isn't this digging the foundation of our powerful clan?"
