Chapter 248 King Qis art of combining vertical and horizontal lines! Wrestling!(1/2)
Prince Qi's Mansion.
Wu Gao, the brother of the Wu family and the commander of Shence Guard Test, rushed in in a hurry.
"His Royal Highness King Qi!"
"Have you heard about what happened this morning?"
As soon as he entered the door, Wu Gao saw Qi King Zhu Shu who was wiping his sword in the courtyard.
Beside him, there were several people who looked ordinary, like civilians, but had cold eyes.
There seems to be something long and long hidden in the arms of these people...
Farther away, there were some people dressed as alchemists, arguing fiercely about something.
"What are you panicking about?"
King Zhu Shu of Qi put down the sword in his hand and said calmly: "You have heard about it in the army."
"Of course this king has known about it for a long time."
Wu Gao looked excited.
He stepped forward and said tremblingly: "Your Highness, this is a great opportunity! To redeem the land, you can easily get millions of taels of silver!"
"If you cut off a part of it, you can use it to establish relationships and win people's hearts."
"When the time comes, there will definitely be many people among the 48 guards in the five major camps of the capital taking orders from His Highness!"
The five major camps of the capital.
Forty-eight guards.
Among them, Shencewei is one of them.
But Qi King Zhu Su shook his head and said: "Humph, you think it's quite simple."
"My two silly nephews died so easily because of your thoughts!"
"How can I be so restless when my father is here to defend the capital?"
"It's the same as seeking death!"
This is what Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunxi learned from their mistakes, and Qi King Zhu Su naturally did not want to make the same mistake again.
He has the intention to seize the throne.
Of course I won't follow the same path as a loser.
Facts have proved that if you want to control the defense of the capital, it is simply not feasible to kill the king and forcefully ascend the throne.
Although King Zhu Shu of Qi relied on military strategy, he did not think he could succeed in this way.
"Besides, do you think there are really only benefits in this?"
"My good nephew, you are trying to make trouble for me!"
Although King Qi didn't understand why Zhu Yunzhen chose to target him and wanted to dig a hole for himself.
But since Zhu Yunzhen made a move, he had to take over.
Purchasing land may seem like a pie falling from the sky, but this pie is actually poisonous!
Just eat this pie.
It's like being caught by Zhu Yunxuan!
As long as this handle is put in front of Lao Zhu, then Zhu Shu will no longer have the possibility of fighting for the throne!
"Ah?" Wu Gao didn't think that much.
His mind was simple, and when he realized this, he was immediately panicked.
He asked again and again: "Your Highness, what should we do?"
"Should we let our great-grandson choose another wise man and refuse this matter?"
But King Qi asked: "Refuse?"
"Why refuse?"
Although this pie is poisonous, the benefits it brings are real.
"You, you'd better follow this king and learn from me." Qi King Zhu Su was full of confidence.
He confidently said: "Since he, Zhu Yunxuan, wants me to be greedy for ink, he will use this to accuse me."
"Then I will show him Tan Mo!"
"And this king is even more greedy!"
"The imperial court wants to take away the military power of our vassal kings, and also takes away the fiefdoms. How can it be enough to rely on a little money sent by the clan government every year?"
"Presumably... many of my brothers must be short of money now..."
A sneer flashed in Qi Wang Zhu Shu's eyes.
Logically speaking, the money distributed by the court was actually enough for the feudal king.
But the problem is...the former vassal kings had soldiers and fiefdoms, so it was not easy to make money?
But now in the capital, all income depends on the little silver distributed by the clan government.
Originally, many feudal lords were accustomed to luxurious daily expenses.
It is simply impossible to ask them to be frugal now!
Apart from anything else, even if they are used to being thrifty, the preferences of all the brothers like King Qi are not simple.
Zhou Wang Zhu Ju was fond of medicine and devoted himself to compiling medical books. There were often famous doctors in his mansion.
Zhu Bai, King of Xiang, loved Taoism and often visited immortals. Whether it was building Taoist temples or refining elixirs, he spent a lot of money.
King Zhu Zhen of Chu lived a luxurious life and was generous in spending money. Among his brothers, he was probably the one who was most short of money. He often asked the court for military rations in the name of conquering the barbarians.
But in the end the results were very few.
Is it possible that these feudal kings are not short of money?
King Zhu Shu of Qi used himself to save others. He usually liked to raise assassins and gather alchemists.
The mansion has many warriors who are good at assassination, as well as alchemists who are good at witchcraft and poison.
A lot of money was spent.
I worry about silver every day.
Now, Zhu Yunzhen brought money to his lips, how could he let it go?
"What your Highness means..." Wu Gao thought for a long time and finally understood King Qi's idea.
He exclaimed: "Your Highness wants to invite other vassal kings to share a piece of the pie?!"
Qi King Zhu Su nodded.
He put his hands behind his back and said inscrutably: "This king's nephew wants to use the matter of corruption to convict me alone."
"But what if I am greedy for Mo's money and don't give it to just me?"
Wu Gao followed what King Qi said and continued: "When the time comes, your Highness will not be the only one your grandson will face!"
"But many vassal kings?!"
"That's right!" Zhu Shu waved his hand and said disdainfully: "Zhu Yunzhen is a little guy who hasn't grown up after all."
"He only knew that I would be greedy, but he never thought that although I am greedy, I am not stupid!"
"The only thing I can do is be greedy."
"But if I share this benefit and many vassal kings form a collective interest, then they will be able to be extremely greedy!"
"I will not only disillusion him with building national highways!"
"It's even more important to make it impossible for him to stay in the position of crown prince!"
King Qi made no secret of his ambitions.
He has been raising assassins and gathering alchemists, for what purpose? Isn’t it because he is not satisfied with his position!
Want to go further?
Now the opportunity was before him.
How could he give up!
"Your Highness is brilliant!" Wu Gao was completely convinced.
He said with determination: "When Zhu Yunxuan's plan to build a national highway fails, public dissatisfaction will boil and all officials will be disappointed."
"Your Majesty will definitely appoint another crown prince!"
"At that time, His Highness will be the Crown Prince!"
Zhu Shu smiled proudly.
