Become a feudal king from today

"This King of Yan is interesting."

Mo Di nodded gently.

He knew that the poor ninth prince was banished to Yanzhou by the current emperor.

He also heard about the recovery of King Yan's brain disease.

After all, the idle generals in Yanguan like to spread the absurd things in the court the most.

"This King of Yan is interesting. From being unknown, he has made more and more noise now. It is said that Yuan Li has visited him in person. Well, it seems that I have to go for this magic medicine this time." Mo Di threw down the book.

Li Xingjian said: "Even if it is not for this magic medicine, the general should go. Invite King Yan as a helper, which can at least cause some trouble for the Yuan family."

Mo Di nodded.

After all, King Yan is a prince, and his Mo family has been loyal to the royal family for generations.

Now the world is in chaos, and there is no other ambition.

It's just that he is now isolated in Yanzhou, and he often feels uneasy.

After all, if Yanguan is lost, Beidi will enter directly, and Dasong will be broken into pieces.

But the Yuan family had a treacherous heart, so he dared not trust them easily.

If he went to Yan County this time and found out whether the King of Yan could be used, he would write to the current emperor and let the King of Yan's Yan County and Yanguan form a horn-shaped situation to garrison Yanzhou.

...

Yancheng.

Although Zhao Xu wore the thinnest long gown, he still felt hot.

At this time, he began to miss the vests and big shorts of the present time.

But it was not all so bad.

At least, when the little maids helped him change clothes, he could see infinite spring through their slightly open necklines.

"Your Highness..."

Luan'er's cheeks were slightly red.

I don't know if it was because of the hot weather or Zhao Xu's eyes were too hot.

"Hehe..." Zhao Xu retracted his gaze and smiled evilly.

Luan'er smiled shyly, and was used to the King of Yan's aggression on her.

For her, this has become a tacit play between master and servant.

"Your Highness, a letter from the capital." Feng'er came in twisting her waist at this time.

Seeing that Zhao Xu's clothes were not put on yet, he took the belt beside him and put his arms around Zhao Xu's waist to tie it for him.

Zhao Xu took the letter.

A few days ago, he asked the Dong family to take a letter for him and give it to Guan Zhong in Jinling, asking him to bribe Liang Cheng and bring him news.

At least let the emperor Zhao Heng and the ninth prince's mother in the palace know about him.

At this point in time, there should be a receipt.

Feng'er gave him two letters.

The first one was written by Guan Zhong, and the second one was written by Mi Guiren, the mother of the ninth prince.

He first opened Guan Zhong's letter and glanced at it.

In the letter, Guan Zhong said that he had sent Liang Cheng ten thousand taels of silver, and promised to give Liang Cheng benefits in the future.

After he came back, Liang Cheng specially sent a servant to the business to send a plaque to the business.

This back and forth, Liang Cheng was intentionally protecting the business.

Seeing this, Zhao Xu breathed a sigh of relief.

Liang Cheng did this, and his chamber of commerce would be safer in the capital.

As for the emperor, Guan Zhong said in the letter that Liang Cheng brought a message that the emperor had not issued an order.

Then, he opened the letter from Concubine Mi.

There were tears on the letter, and it said: "Xu'er, since you left Yan County, your mother has missed you day and night, and often went to Xiangguo Temple to pray. Now I know that my son's brain disease has recovered. Your mother is overjoyed and has no regrets in her life. Now I only hope that you will be diligent in Yan County and love the people, and not act recklessly. When you visit your parents, you and I can see each other again. This is also what your father hopes..."

Zhao Xu read it sentence by sentence and sighed slightly.

He inherited everything from the Ninth Prince, and also inherited an emperor father and a noble mother.

In his memory, Zhao Heng was strict and indifferent to him, so he naturally didn't have much feelings for Zhao Heng. They were not like father and son, but more like monarch and minister.

As for Concubine Mi, his memory was warm.

After all, she was one of the few people in the world who would care for the Ninth Prince.

"Father's hope." Chewing on this sentence, Zhao Xu felt something was wrong.

This sentence was obviously telling him that Zhao Heng had met her and told her about him. This sentence was also specially added by Zhao Heng.

There were two more sentences at the end of the letter, but they were for Luan'er and Feng'er, asking them to take good care of Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu glanced at the two maids, and their eyes immediately turned red.

At this time, the clothes were already put on.

Zhao Xu walked out of the bedroom and frowned slightly.

Emperor Zhao Heng did not dare to publicly issue an order to comfort him.

But he did so in the letter of Concubine Mi, obviously with his own little thoughts.

After a little thought, he had a guess in his mind.

Zhao Heng did not make a public statement, one is that he may still not pay attention to himself and intend to continue to wait and see; the other is that he may be afraid that the local forces in Yanzhou will be unfavorable to him, and through Concubine Mi, he brought such a sentence, leaving room for the two.

Thinking of this, he smiled bitterly.

This emperor of Dasong is really cunning.

But if he is not cunning, I am afraid he may not be able to stay on the throne for so long.

The powerful families of Dasong are not so easy to deal with.

"Among the twelve princes, I am the only one who has been granted a fiefdom. The others all stay in the capital, fighting for power and profit. Behind each of them stands the powerful families. Whoever becomes the next emperor will probably become a pawn of the powerful families." Zhao Xu sneered.

It is a tradition for Dasong to enfeoff princes.

But for the princes, they are unwilling to go to fiefdom.

After all, who is willing to leave the rich and prosperous capital?

Moreover, once leaving the capital, it is equivalent to leaving the center of power and losing the throne.

Moreover, the fiefdom of Dasong cannot be hereditary, and the descendants can only enjoy some salary after death. This makes it even less necessary for a powerful prince to work hard.

Therefore, generally speaking, most princes would only send their cronies in the palace to manage their fiefdoms.

"His poison is my fairy grass." Zhao Xu shook his head.

In the eyes of other princes, he must be very pitiful. He has no one to support him, so he can only come to this barren place to suffer.

And he regarded other princes as poison in a vat. It was meaningless for you to fight against each other in the capital.

Shaking his head, Zhao Xu shook off these thoughts.

His goal has always been firm, which is to work hard to run his own fiefdom.

When he turns Yan County into a fortress, no matter what is going on outside, he will remain firm, no matter what Zhao Heng's attitude is towards him!

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his lips.

This smile was also for Zhao Heng's caution towards him.

At least it seems that Zhao Heng hopes that he can check and balance the Yuan family.

I'm just worried that he is too weak and will suffer backlash.

If he feels that he is powerful, the Yuan family cannot erase it all at once.

He believed that Zhao Heng would openly support him then.

Just as he was thinking, he saw Liu Fu's figure appearing in front of the archway in the backyard and stopping there.

After tidying up his clothes, he walked towards Liu Fu.

Today he and Liu Fu had agreed to go on a patrol in the countryside.

His policy has already been implemented in one village.

He needs to go and see if the government officials are doing their job properly.

Outside the door, Xu Lie has prepared horses for Zhao Xu.

The group of people headed north of the city along Yanjun's north-south avenue.

"This is your first time out of the city, Your Highness."

After leaving the north gate of Yancheng, Liu Fu pointed at the lush woods in the distance with his riding whip.

"Yes, this is my king's great land."

Breathing the fresh air and looking at the blue sky and the rippling green fields, he felt relaxed and happy.

Driving their horses forward, along the dirt official road, the group walked through woods, rice fields, ponds and streams.

Then we went north along the creek and arrived at our destination this time, Pumice Village.

"Your Highness, this is Fushi Village. The fertile fields around the village were acquired by the royal family from wealthy families. Currently, there are 500 households in this village, and the rice in the fields has been planted."

After getting off the horse, Liu Fu led Zhao Xu to the edge of the field.

Zhao Xu looked at the field, and the rice seedlings were already turning green.

And around November, these rice fields are ready for harvest.

At that time, Yan County had enough food.

Thinking of this, he smiled with satisfaction.

"Go and have a look in the village." Zhao Xu walked along the field ridge toward a thatched house.

His arrival has attracted the attention of the people in the village.

The urchins in the village hid in groups behind the thick willow trees and looked at him curiously.

Seeing these young children, he suddenly felt mixed feelings in his heart.

The clothes of these young children are in tatters and they can be said to be half-clothed.

Others are naked.

The ribs can be clearly seen from their bodies.
