Become a feudal king from today

"From now on, Madam and Quanzi will live in Yancheng. I hope Your Highness will take good care of you. Read М"

In the reception hall of the palace, Ma Han said to Zhao Xu.

After arriving in Yancheng, he first went to see Zhao Heng.

After all, the imperial edict was sent to Sizhou in the name of Zhao Heng.

After exchanging pleasantries with Zhao Heng, he was sent to the palace.

Zhao Xu glanced at the woman holding the baby in the yard, talking and laughing with Feng'er.

He was the person who saved Ma Han when Ma Han was assassinated and became an ally with him. He was also the person Ma Han cherished the most.

Now that Ma Han has sent the mother and son to Yancheng, it shows that he has truly made up his mind and will join the royal family from now on.

"It doesn't have to be like this. I already understand your intentions. It's better to take your wife and children back." Zhao Xu poured a cup of tea for Ma Han, and Ma Han stood up and took it.

After sitting down and blowing on the hot tea, Ma Han chuckled twice and said, "Your Highness, actually I have an unkind invitation to bring my wife and young son here this time."

"Oh? Tell me." Zhao Xu looked at Ma Han. From the first time he saw Ma Han, he felt that this kid was a bit slippery.

"Although it's a bit high-spirited, I want Quanzi to recognize His Highness as his adoptive father." He seemed to be worried that Zhao Xu would be unhappy, and he said hurriedly. "Of course, I'm just talking."

Zhao Xu was stunned for a while, then suddenly laughed out loud. He pointed at Ma Han and said, "You are going too far. I am not married yet, and I don't have a son or a daughter. I have a godson first."

Then, he pondered for a while and slapped the table, "Well, if you, Ma Han, can hand over the love of your life to me, what will happen if I recognize you as my godson?"

Ma Han was overjoyed when he heard this, and his lips trembled with excitement, "Your Highness, have you really agreed?"

Zhao Xu nodded, "A gentleman's words are hard to follow. When have I ever deceived you?"

"Hahaha..." Ma Han laughed.

He quickly arrived in the courtyard, pulled his wife over, and said to her: "His Royal Highness King Yan agreed. From now on, His Highness will be Lin'er's adoptive father."

Ma Han's wife was also an exquisite person. She bowed to Zhao Xu and said with a happy face, "Your Highness, Lin'er is still young. If you can't serve His Highness tea and kowtow, let me do it for you."

After saying that, she picked up Ma Han's tea cup and offered it to Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu looked at Ma Han and saw Ma Han nodding sharply.

In desperation, he had no choice but to accept the tea cup, and then Mahan's wife asked him to hold the child and kowtow to him three times.

After the ceremony, Mrs. Mahan said to the baby in her arms: "Lin'er, from now on, His Highness King Yan will be your adoptive father. No one in the world will dare to bully you from now on."

After saying this, the three of them laughed at the same time.

Zhao Xu shook his head, "I really don't know whether I made a profit or a loss."

While talking and laughing, he and Mahan had completed a fair transaction.

Ma Han took his wife and young son as hostages in Yancheng, and he recognized Ma Han's son as his adopted son.

In this way, as long as he, Ma Han, does not betray the palace, his Ma family will be able to use this child as a link to maintain a close relationship with the palace in the future.

After chatting and laughing for a while, Ma Han asked his wife to leave first, and then got down to business with Zhao Xu, "Your Highness, I have one more thing to come this time, which is about the Ma family's wealthy family. The wealthy family is worried that the Ma family will join His Highness. , their life will be difficult in the future, which may cause chaos in Sizhou. "

Zhao Xu nodded. He naturally knew that all the wealthy families in the world regarded him as a public enemy.

It is normal for the wealthy people under the Ma family to be afraid of him.

However, he has already set a strategy against the wealthy families in Yanzhou. If he changes, he will lose the hearts and minds of the people of Yanzhou.

This is a thunder pool and must not be crossed.

Therefore, he would not allow wealthy families to occupy large amounts of land.

So he said: "Isn't this king's example enough for you to understand whose side you should stand on? Although you have lost the support of the wealthy family, you have also gained the support of countless common people. There are gains and losses, fish and bears. You can’t have both.”

"You can't have your cake and eat it too!" Ma Han was shocked when he heard these words. Although these words were simple, they were the truth in the world. He couldn't want everything.

Looking at King Yan, he secretly thought: "That's right, why did King Yan rise?" Isn't it just by suppressing the wealthy families and supporting the common people that we achieved today's achievements? The King of Hell can do this, why can't his Ma family do this? "

After understanding this, Ma Han nodded slowly and finally made a decision in his heart, "I understand."

Zhao Xu nodded. To him, even a small Sizhou with all its powerful families could be crushed to death with one finger.

But he felt that Mahan could handle these matters on his own without his own intervention.

Otherwise, if he can't do this well, what value will he and himself have?

So, after pondering for a while, he said to Ma Han: "Actually, I care more about whether you can reach an agreement with me on the issue of wealthy families than you send your wife and children to Yancheng."

Having said this, there is no need to say more.

Ma Han looked solemn, stood up and bowed his hands to Zhao Xu. He said, "Your Highness just needs to wait for my good news."

Zhao Xu also patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him, "I will not let go of an enemy, but I will not lose anyone who has contributed to me."

Ma Han felt relieved for a while, said goodbye, bowed, and turned to leave.

However, he still did not take away his wife and young son.

Zhao Xu had no choice but to arrange a house for them and arrange for guards to protect them.

If Ma Han is worthy of him, he will naturally be worthy of Ma Han.

"Is there any movement over there with the Sixth Prince?"

Not long after Ma Han left, Zhao Xu called Xu Hark for questioning.

"There was some movement." Xu Ke frowned slightly, "After the imperial edict was sent to Jincheng, the Sixth Prince ordered young men to be captured in Jinzhou and put into the army. They seemed to have the intention of resisting to the end and did not take the imperial edict seriously at all. ”

After a pause, he said: "But I also found out something fishy. Do you know why the Sixth Prince is so arrogant?"

"Oh?" Zhao Xu showed an interesting expression, waiting for Tsui Hark's next words.

"The lower official arranged for the spy at the Sixth Prince's Mansion to find a letter from Yuan Li. After reading it, he put it back intact. In the letter, Yuan Li said that the Han family was discussing with Japan to deal with His Highness and asked the Sixth Prince to stay on the west side. Cooperate with them to create momentum.”

"If Your Highness is eliminated, Qi will conquer the world in the future. The Han family promises that the sixth prince will become the king of Qi with a different surname and guard Jinzhou for generations." Xu Ke said slowly.

Zhao Xu showed a disdainful smile and said: "In this case, I don't need to be polite to him anymore. It's time to get rid of him."

At this moment, countless images of the Sixth Prince bullying the Ninth Prince when they were in the capital came to Zhao Xu's mind.

He knew in his heart that the Sixth Prince had something in his heart, and he must have known that he would not tolerate him.

Therefore, he firmly devoted himself to the Han family.

But no matter what he chooses, for Zhao Xu, he is on a dead end.

The world is in chaos, and all heroes have risen together. From now on, he will liquidate his enemies one by one.
