Become a feudal king from today

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, the Dou family will never abandon you."

Dou Wei suddenly laughed softly.

He had watched the third prince grow up and knew that he had a suspicious character.

When Dou Wei said this, Zhao Mu felt a little better, but there was still confusion on his face.

Seeing this, Dou Wei continued: "Sometimes you need a sword to deal with the enemy, sometimes you need a smile to deal with the enemy, and more often than not, there is a sword hidden behind the smile. But regardless of the sword or the smile, in the end, as long as the enemy falls."

Pacing back and forth, he said: "The thing about Jinzhou is swords. Although the result is not very good, it also cost King Yan a lot of soldiers and horses. But before we find the next sharper sword, you and I need to Give King Yan a smile and maximize our interests."

Zhao Mu nodded lightly, "I understand, uncle. On the surface, you shouldn't offend King Yan too much. After all, he is still needed for some things."

He knew that the Dou family failed to imitate King Yan's artillery, and they had built the Liang family's artillery, but it was still far from the artillery of King Yan.

Dou Wei nodded, thinking of something, he said: "But it's not all bad news."

"Oh?" Zhao Mu looked interested.

"King Yan killed the heads of the four wealthy families in Jinzhou, which caused a lot of discussion among the wealthy families in the world. In recent days, many local wealthy families have come to me to complain and denounce King Yan." Dou Weidao.

Zhao Mu rolled his eyes and suddenly realized.

King Yan's actions in Yanzhou have long dissatisfied the powerful and wealthy families.

Now, King Yan is killing people in Jinzhou again, which shows that he does not take the world's wealthy families seriously.

In this way, he completely offended the powerful and wealthy families in Dasong.

"Not to mention the original agreement between the royal family and the powerful clans, a prince without the support of powerful clans and powerful clans cannot compete with you for the throne." Dou Wei finally said it.

In fact, another reason why he hated King Yan was that he was worried that King Yan would join the fight for the crown prince like the King of Jin did.

But King Yan cut himself off from the wealthy and powerful clans, which meant that he gave up his qualifications for the throne.

After all, the entire world of Dasong is maintained by wealthy families.

The powerful clan is just the best among these wealthy clans.

If King Yan had the intention to compete for the throne, the wealthy families in the world would be in panic.

We will definitely support the powerful clan to stop King Yan.

"That's exactly the truth." Zhao Mu raised the corner of his mouth.

Not only him, but now that King Yan is famous, even the second prince and the prince may have this worry in their hearts.

But now that the wealthy families are talking about King Yan like this, his father has to give up even if he has this idea.

Because choosing King Yan is simply like choosing a war that affects the entire Dasong.

It will not stop until one side falls.

"But even so, King Yan will be a threat after I ascend the throne." Zhao Mu suddenly frowned.

Dou Wei narrowed his eyes, "So we have to wait patiently for a sharper sword."

Zhao Mu nodded lightly.

At this time, Dou Wei looked at Zhao Mu, hesitated and said, "I have thought about it these past two days and found that Your Highness still lacks one thing to prepare for the battle for the crown prince."

"Please ask uncle for advice."

"Military merit." Dou Wei spat out two words, "Among the current princes, only King Yan has made great achievements in battle. If His Highness can get a military merit, even if King Yan supports the deposed prince, the deposed prince will not be qualified to return to the throne."

"War merits?" Zhao Mu frowned, "Uncle, do you want me to go to Jinzhou?"

Dou Wei shook his head and turned to the west, "This is Yizhou. There are often wars between the Xiao family and Tubo. My Dou family and the Xiao family have always been on good terms. It's okay to ask them to give you some military glory."

Zhao Mu felt excited.

How could he not envy King Yan's military exploits?

If he could achieve military exploits, he would be even better in front of the second prince and the prince.

Dou Wei continued, "When you have achieved military success, I will gather the strength of the Xiao family, the Dou family, and the Ma family to ensure that you sit on the throne of the prince."

"Thank you uncle." Zhao Mu was overjoyed.

Then he chatted a lot with Dou Wei, and they met late at night.

A few more days passed.

Zhao Xu's secret about seizing Tongguan came to the capital again, making the already joyful atmosphere in the capital even more exciting.

After reading the excerpt, Zhao Heng broke into a cold sweat.

By winning Tongguan, Jinzhou is truly in the hands of Da Song.

What he didn't expect was that Beidi had such sinister intentions.

If King Yan's troops had not captured Tongguan in time, once it fell into the hands of Beidi, Dasong would never have peace again.

"Liang Cheng, who do you think is the most suitable person to go to Jinzhou? Now that Jinzhou has been won, it cannot be lost again. There must be a reliable person in charge of Jinzhou," Zhao Heng said.

The smile on Liang Cheng's face resembled a flower, "Actually, the emperor already had a candidate in mind on the day of the garden visit."

"You old fox." Zhao Heng laughed.

He had indeed found a candidate, and that person was none other than Ma Yuan.

First, Ma Yuan had a good personal relationship with King Yan, and King Yan would not embarrass him.

Secondly, Ma Yuan is from the Ma family. He chose the Ma family. So what can he say about Ma Jin?

Third, he understands Ma Yuan's temperament and will definitely manage Jinzhou for him.

Therefore, the candidate for the position of Jinzhou Shepherd must be Ma Yuan.

"But Ma Yuan is good at government affairs, but not good at leading an army. He needs someone to help him." Zhao Heng frowned, "Why don't we just let Mo Kuan go."

The Mohist family has always been loyal to the imperial court.

At present, only if Mo Kuan goes to Jinzhou to lead the army will he feel at ease.

Although these two people often speak for King Yan, they do so out of public interest, so he does not think they will obey King Yan's orders.

Liang Cheng nodded and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is wise."

Zhao Heng was very satisfied with his decision, and then he remembered another important thing.

It is said that King Yan used another kind of firearm in Jinzhou this time. It is said that the firearm in Shenji Camp is very similar.

In the past, he only used the Shenji Camp as a guard of honor, but he never thought that such a thing could be used for fighting.

But whether it's something like a fire stick, or artillery, or armor, King Yan seems to be very good at it.

This time, he wanted to officially give King Yan a military supply order to purchase armor and firearms for the Imperial Forbidden Army to enhance the combat effectiveness of the Forbidden Army.

Thinking like this, he suddenly looked in the mirror on the desk and saw a strand of white hair between his temples.

His heart was shocked, and he suddenly had mixed feelings in his heart.

Since he ascended the throne, he has been under the control of the Dou family and has been in a state of confusion for decades, indulging in pleasure and unable to extricate himself.

But now, he suddenly wanted to do something big.

Jinzhou was re-incorporated into Dasong territory, so now the only one in the enemy's hands was Ningjin Dusi.

If Ningjin Dusi can be recovered again, there is no doubt that he will become a sage through the ages and be sung by historians.

But thinking about Beidi, he felt fear again.

It was a nightmare that would wake him up at night.

He shook his head and put this unrealistic idea behind him.

Then he picked up his pen and wrote the imperial edict. After stamping it with a big seal, he sent it to Yanzhou.
