Become a feudal king from today

"Father summoned the slaves of Prince Yan?"

Jinling City, the east gate of the palace city, Panlou Street outside Donghua Gate.

For the people of Jinling, this place is the most prosperous place in Jinling City.

In addition to being adjacent to Xiangguo Temple, this street is dotted with mansions of great generals and ministers.

In order to meet their needs, the best restaurants, brothels, jewelry shops, etc. in the city have gathered here, bringing the prosperity of this place to a higher level.

According to legend in the street, Emperor Zhao Heng of Dasong would occasionally travel incognito and have banquets with officials at Pan's Restaurant.

At this time, in Prince Xin's mansion at the end of Panlou Street, the sixth prince Zhao Fang was sitting in the pavilion, playing chess with someone.

After hearing the report from the palace steward, his hand hung on the chess piece.

"King Yan's people have just come out of the palace. What I saw is absolutely true." The butler said firmly.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Fang put down the chess piece and looked at the young man in his thirties across from him, "Second brother, what do you think?"

The young man whom Zhao Fang calls his second brother is none other than Zhao Qu, the second prince of Dasong, who is titled King Jin.

He and Zhao Fang have always had a close relationship and often communicate with each other.

"What do you think? My father is afraid that he will seek medical treatment because he is seriously ill. Do you really think that a waste like Zhao Xu can make a difference in Yanzhou?" Zhao Qu snorted coldly and put down the chess piece.

Zhao Fang nodded slightly, "I beat him too lightly back then, but he actually woke up after being stupid for three years. It's such a pity. If I had known better, I would have let the wealthy people of Yan County kill him."

"Hmph, in my opinion, he is just pretending to be stupid. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that he would be fine within a few months of arriving in Yan County?" Zhao Quchang's face showed disdain.

"Well, what the second brother said is true, but no matter whether he is really stupid or pretending to be stupid, it is always bad for us to have him staying in Yan County now." Zhao Fang frowned.

Zhao Qu glared at Zhao Fang, "It's not your own fault. Logically speaking, this King of Yan should have been you, but you just disliked the lack of money in Yan County and became the King of Xin."

"You can't blame me entirely. My mother-in-law said that Yanzhou was my uncle's place, and she went there to compete with him for profit. She also said that there was no money in Yanjun, so she asked for the king of trust for me." Zhao Fang curled his lips.

He has never regretted this incident.

It's just that now that Zhao Xu has gone to Yan County and his father seems to support King Yan, he feels unhappy.

After all, he was able to thrive in the capital, and his status depended entirely on his mother and concubine's relatives, the Yuan family.

Zhao Qu shook his head and looked at Zhao Fang with a hint of regret.

Since the prince was impeached and dethroned by the ministers two years ago due to his arrogant words and deeds, the position of crown prince has caused a fight between the princes.

Their father, Zhao Heng, was annoyed with the courtiers' criticism of the crown prince, so he rejected all memorials to establish the crown prince in the past two years and delayed establishing the crown prince to show his dissatisfaction.

This made the fight between the princes even more intense.

After all, who doesn’t want to sit on that dragon chair?

Amid the intrigues, the princes have gradually formed three forces due to their own interests.

One of them is the crown prince and the eighth prince, both of whom share the same mother. With the support of the queen, they have been trying to restore the crown prince's position.

The second one is the third prince, the fifth prince, and the seventh prince.

The third prince's uncle, Prime Minister Dou, was in power. The emperor had ascended to the throne with the full support of the Dou family, so his natural strength should not be underestimated.

The third one is him, the sixth prince and the fourth prince.

He also has his own ability to compete with the crown prince and the third prince.

One of the eight powerful families in Dasong, the Qizhou Han family is his mother-in-law's relative. The Yanzhou Yuan family can grow big in Yanzhou with the support of his Han family.

"Yanzhou is our capital after all and should not be underestimated. You should write a letter to Yuan Zhoumu and ask him to find a way to get rid of Zhao Xu. When the time comes, I will ask my uncle to find a way to get rid of this old guy Mo Zhai. Then only Yan Guan With this in our hands, my father has no choice but to make me the crown prince," Zhao Qu said slowly, checking the six princes' moves with one chess piece.

"Of course, no matter what, we can't let this trash Zhao Xu stain our eyes." Zhao Fang's eyes showed a cold light, "But my uncle is very shrewd, I'm afraid he has already taken action."

"It's best this way. Let Yuan Zhoumu keep an eye on him." Zhao Qu waved his hand, stood up and left.

Zhao Fang sent Zhao Qu to the door and turned back. His eyes suddenly turned cold.

"Hmph, when my Yuan family takes control of Yanguan, will it be your turn to be crown prince?" Zhao Fang sneered.

He only clung to the second prince for warmth, and the other princes were just like that.

Who is really better than whom?

He sneered again, looked to the north, and said: "Zhao Xu, you are really stupid. If you keep pretending to be stupid, you may be able to survive. Now, you must die. Who will make you an eyesore? Yan How can the state, such an important place, allow you to take root?”

…

Prince Wei's Mansion.

The third prince Zhao Mu respectfully poured a cup of tea for Dou Wei.

"Uncle, did you know that your father met with the slaves of King Yan?"

"Everyone in Jinling City doesn't know. Your Majesty did this intentionally for everyone to see." Dou Wei blew on the hot tea.

Zhao Mu nodded and gloated: "I think so too. The expressions on the second prince's and his friends' faces must be wonderful now."

Dou Wei shook his head, "Don't be so optimistic yet. The Ninth Prince is alone in Yan County, and the Emperor is beyond his reach. If the Yuan family really wants to deal with him, he may not be able to hold on."

"Then my father is harming Zhao Xu by doing this." Zhao Mu frowned.

Among the princes back then, the second, fourth and sixth princes bullied Zhao Xu the most.

The most direct reason for Zhao Xu's madness is the three people.

Of course, the other princes also treated Zhao Xu very badly, but not as cruelly as the three of them.

Although he couldn't stand it, he never stopped him. After all, Zhao Xu was too humble among many powerful princes and was not worthy of his action.

But now that Zhao Xu has gone to Yan County, it's different. For him, he can at least be used as a chess piece against the Second Prince and the others.

"This is where the emperor is smart. King Yan is both making ice and selling wine. Anyone with a discerning eye can see it. If he doesn't take any action, King Yan will die faster. Meeting the slaves of King Yan is telling some people Man, he still recognizes King Yan as his son." Dou Wei shook his head.

"So it's my uncle who knows my father best." Zhao Mu praised, "Then do we need to make friends with King Yan?"

"Just send someone to Yan County to send some meager gifts. Just say congratulations on his recovery. If he really gets into trouble in the future, it will make it easier to deal with him in the future. If he dies, this little money will be nothing."

Zhao Mu nodded, for no other reason than that it would be good if he could calm down the second prince and his group.

…

At this time, Yan County.

Zhang Kang received a letter from Fan Yang, glanced at it, and smiled coldly, "King Yan, your death is coming soon."

During this period, he saw everything King Yan did and hated him in his heart.

The deeper the Yan Palace's control over Yan County, the more frightened he becomes.

But now he suddenly feels at ease, Yan County belongs to his Zhang family after all.

Thinking of this, he called Zhang Yue and whispered: "Tell this news immediately..."

Zhang Yue nodded, turned and left.

At the same time, a big event was happening at Yanjun Commercial Bank.
