Chapter 148: The Frightened King Zhao, Hundreds of Carts of Money and Grain
"really."
Look at the picture on the light screen.
The empress frowned slightly. As expected, her guess was right. Although the Prince of Zhao looked harmless and not dangerous, he would aid the enemy.
Since the 52nd year of Shenwu.
Since the King of Zhao took up his fiefdom until today, he has sent an unknown amount of money and grain to the King of Jin.
Also mentioned in the template.
It was precisely because the King of Zhao continued to send money and food that the King of Jin's foundation grew stronger and stronger.
This made the latter's ambition grow and he eventually chose to rebel.
Think of this.
In the empress's narrow eyes.
A gleam of brilliance flashed across his face, and he murmured, "Yangzhou has always been very prosperous, especially under the governance of King Zhao, it is even richer than ever."
"If the proceeds from the conquest of the White Lotus Sect are not enough to cover the court's expenses, I can use the excuse that Prince Zhao is aiding the enemy to capture him and raid his house to see how much money and grain he has stored over the years. I plan to give it to Prince Jin."
The empress didn't believe it, and Prince Zhao had governed Yangzhou for many years.
There will be no savings at all.
Even though he would send a large amount of money and grain to King Jin every year, he would certainly keep a large portion for himself. Over time, the amount would surely be extremely intimidating.
after all.
When imitating the King of Jin for the second time, the King of Zhao came to help with a large amount of money and food.
Of course, even though the campaign against the White Lotus was fruitful.
There was no way the empress would let King Zhao go just like that.
[After you learned that Emperor Yuan had passed away, you didn’t cry, but you were still a little sad. After all, Emperor Yuan had been very kind to you, and you still had some feelings for him.]
[In the following days, you have been paying attention to the developments in the court, wanting to know who Emperor Yuan would let inherit the throne and ascend the throne before his death. After all, everyone knows that Emperor Yuan has never appointed a crown prince in all these years.]
[Two more days]
[You received the news, the new emperor ascended the throne]
[And the person who ascended the throne to become the emperor shocked you. It turned out to be the Ninth Princess Wu Yuxi, your eldest niece, a woman. When you found out, you couldn’t believe it.]
[You don't know why Emperor Yuan made such a choice to let a woman ascend the throne]
[The first year of Shengwu]
【Great Cold】
[It has been quite some time since the empress ascended the throne]
[During this period of time, the situation in Dawu Dynasty was treacherous, and you faintly smelled a hint of something unusual]
[Although you are a little foolish]
[But at least, the accumulation of these years in Yangzhou has also allowed you to barely analyze the current situation of the Dawu Dynasty. You know, the Dawu Dynasty is still calm at present.]
[But this scene can't last too long]
[Nine out of ten vassal kings in the world are probably rebellious and don’t want to be suppressed by a woman.]
【Among the many vassal kings】
[The first person to rebel must be the King of Jin]
[Because you know, the King of Jin's health is getting worse and worse, and he is no longer as good as before.]
【really】
[The next day, you received a letter from the King of Jin. In the letter, the King of Jin was very frank and told you directly that he wanted to rebel and would lead his army north in the near future.]
[In his letter, the King of Jin also asked you if you were willing to join him in the rebellion and lend him a helping hand.]
[After you read the letter from King Jin, you were silent for a long time]
[You did not reply to the letter and sent it to Lingnan as soon as possible as usual. You were a little hesitant and could not make a decision.]
[When people get old, they think more]
[You are no longer the lonely King Zhao of the past] [You now have many children and grandchildren]
[There is a large family to consider]
[You can't be as impulsive as you were back then, willing to help the King of Jin without considering anything]
[The King of Jin, who had not received a reply for a long time, seemed to have guessed your thoughts and stopped writing to you.]
[Just like that, the days passed by in your entanglement and hesitation. In the past few days, many major events happened in the Dawu Dynasty, but you were not in the mood to pay attention.]
[Until the beginning of the year]
[You received news that King Jin rebelled]
[At the beginning of the year, the King of Jin personally led 450,000 elite troops northward and headed straight for Chongli Prefecture]
[You originally thought that the King of Jin would be able to take over Chongli Prefecture in two days at most, but what you didn't expect was that when the King of Jin attacked Chongli Prefecture, he not only lost the first battle, but also lost battles one after another and could not take it down for a long time.]
[At this time, you know that the commander of Chongli Prefecture is actually Ning He, the disciple of that person]
[You sighed, worthy of him]
[Even one of his disciples had such ability. With only 160,000 soldiers, he stopped the battle-hardened King Jin outside Chongli Mansion and prevented him from advancing an inch.]
[The defeat of King Jin leaves you with mixed feelings]
[You want to help him, but you dare not make a decision. You are afraid. You are afraid that if you fail, your wife, children and elders will die tragically because of you. You are afraid that the matter will be exposed and your entire family will be executed.]
"Are you scared?"
When the empress saw this, she narrowed her eyes.
I don't think King Zhao is cowardly.
On the contrary, I feel that this is the reaction of a normal person when faced with such a life-threatening event.
The princes who were simulated previously.
Obviously, they are not normal people and their hearts have long been blinded by power.
The empress said.
He frowned again.
He stared at the light curtain intently: "I wonder if Ning He will be in danger again this time."
【In your tangle】
[Time flies, and more than half a month has passed]
[A lot of big things happened in the past half month]
[First, the remnants of the White Lotus Sect were found in Xingqing Prefecture, and were wiped out by the Empress, the King of Zhenbei, and the King of Wu. It is rumored that after the remnants of the White Lotus Sect were wiped out, the Empress moved hundreds of carts of money and grain from Yangwu Town.]
[Not long after this incident came to an end, you received news that the King of Zhou had rebelled.]
[King Zhou and the Dali Dynasty conspired together, and with a combined force of more than 500,000, they marched towards Gu'an Prefecture in a mighty force. Once the news spread, there was a barrage of curses.]
[The people of the Dawu Dynasty, everyone is spitting on King Zhou]
【at the same time】
[A major event also occurred in Chongli Prefecture]
【News has come】
[Three days ago, a shocking battle broke out in Chongli Prefecture, and even a half-step celestial being perished in it]
[When you are worried about the safety of King Jin]
[Another piece of news came that Ning He, who was guarding Chongli Prefecture, was assassinated and seriously injured. The empress ordered him to return to Chang'an to recuperate. The Prince of Jin also took advantage of Ning He's absence to capture Chongli Prefecture.]
[You were shocked when you heard about this]
[It is hard to imagine who has the guts to attack that disciple.]
[Your doubt did not last long]
[A piece of news spread throughout the Dawu Dynasty that the person who assassinated Ning He that day was from the Tianjian Sect. Taking advantage of the outbreak of that shocking battle, the three Tianxiang Realm sword cultivators of the Tianjian Sect attacked together to assassinate Ning He and almost succeeded.]
