Zhao Zhongsheng has tolerated him for a long time, but he didn't expect that he still despises him so much.
"Then who are you?"
Wei Wu laughed loudly, "My father was the prime minister of Wei State, and I am the son of the prime minister, and now I am also the commander of Wei State's imperial army."
Zhao Zhongsheng was speechless for a long time, but he was also the son of a minister, and he dared to be so unreasonable to him. Now that I have something to ask for, let him be spared for the time being.
But the Wei envoy had no intention of letting him go just like that.
"I know a little bit about the affairs of your Zhao Kingdom. You were originally the crown prince appointed by the King of China, but since you came to Zhao Kingdom, everything has changed. In the past, you were an opponent who had never been taken seriously by you.
Now that I have replaced you, I think you are not feeling well now."
Zhao Zhongsheng grabbed his collar and pulled him up, and said to him fiercely, "Listen carefully, this is the land of Zhao State. Even if I kill you now, what can you do to me?"
If not, the Wei State will go to war with the powerful Zhao State just because of you."
Wei Wu was naturally not frightened. The man in front of him was already furious, so it would be better to take advantage of him.
He pried his fingers apart one by one, and then smiled contemptuously.
"I'm here to help you. Since you came to see me today, it means that I have something to ask for, so let's talk about it."
Zhao Zhongsheng said frankly, "Your Wei State has always had the ambition to attack Zhao State. Do you know why it has not succeeded yet?"
Wei Wu didn't care about his ridicule. The dispute between the two countries is not a matter between you and me. Strength depends on many aspects.
Naturally, the reason for exchanging letters with the first-rank officials of the Zhao State is to know the situation of the Zhao State. It would be great if one person could destroy the Zhao State alone.
But they were not so stupid that Zhao Guoneng was ruined by just one official.
I came here today just to find out the truth. There will be a long time to come, and it is not certain who will win.
"The State of Zhao is naturally not easy to attack because of its strength. We don't expect to capture the State of Zhao in a short period of time, but that won't be possible with the help of vassal countries like you."
Zhao Zhongsheng knew that this was the case. It would not be easy for such a large country to disintegrate from within, but it would be much easier if it were done from within. After all, only by knowing oneself and the enemy can one be victorious in every battle.
"Although we are from a vassal state, we are still from the Zhao state after all. Why do you think I will help you."
Wei Wu laughed loudly, "But your vassal state is doing it unwillingly. The money you pay every year alone is enough to finance half of the country. I'm afraid that the vassal state has already lost its people and is full of complaints.
"
Zhao Zhongsheng no longer concealed the fact that as a vassal country, it was actually a defeated country, just like himself now. Although it sounds good in name, living in Beijing is actually a hostage.
And my father himself knew that if there was any latest information from the feudal land, my father would not care about his own life in order to ascend the throne of King Zhao.
"This is the reason why I came to you today. If we can join forces to annex Zhao State, then everything that follows will be between you and me."
Wei Wu touched his chin and said with a frivolous expression, "But you are just a proton now, so what qualifications do you have to negotiate terms with me?"
Zhao Zhongsheng said to him with firm eyes and ambition, "What if you could become the King of Wei?"
Wei Wu was heartbroken, he was the bravest warrior in the Wei state, and the ruler of the country wanted to recruit him as his consort once his father's power had become too great, in order to curb his family's power.
But as soon as he marries the princess, he will discard his armor and become a useless person in name only. This is the most intolerable thing for him.
If you can join forces with him, your destiny will no longer be in the hands of the royal family.
The land of Lingnan has magnificent scenery, outstanding people, and countless beauties.
There are more than twenty wives and concubines in the house of a state and county governor alone. As soon as you enter the backyard, all kinds of colorful skirts and streamers are flying, it is really an indulgence.
.
I just don’t know why the state and county magistrate brought him here today.
Zhao Zhongru frowned and asked him, "The flood has not subsided and the people are still struggling. How can we ignore their safety and come to eat, drink and have fun in the backyard."
With a wave of Zhouxian's sleeves, those beauties stood in a row.
"I have often heard that the prince is poor, but state affairs and family affairs should not be confused with each other. Then it is really true that everyone enjoys peace and happiness in the world."
Zhao Zhongru looked at him with cold eyes, and then smiled meaninglessly.
"Over the past few days, I have not only witnessed the hardships of the common people, but also the indulgent enjoyment of those who served as officials in Korea. Later, I realized that floods are natural and man-made disasters, so why not indulge in them?"
After that, he turned around and left.
Then he thought of something and said, "Today you want to use this method to deal with me, you are looking down on me too much."
The disaster relief granary has not yet been opened, but the people are already starving and thin. They line up to come here to receive food. Each of them only has a few grains of rice with a bland soup.
Since the land south of Lingnan is rich in grain, there must be enough official grain in the treasury, but these things eventually end up in the hands of officials.
Zhao Zhongru said to the guard at the door, "Open the granary and help the victims."
The guard guarding the door was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do. Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhongru took action himself.
The victims were already so hungry that they were at a loss for food, and now they were going crazy when they saw the food. However, due to Zhao Zhongru's deliberate indulgence, no one dared to take care of them.
Soon someone went to report the news to the governor of the state and county. By the time the governor arrived, the entire granary was mostly empty.
He was so angry that he pointed at Zhao Zhongru, who was trembling and speechless.
"Do you know that this is the food and grass for Lingnan in the next year? Now that Cangmen has been opened like this, what will happen if there is any big disaster in the future?"
How could Zhao Zhongru not know his little thoughts?
"Lingnan is rich in grain. Although the flood occurred in the autumn, the grain had already been harvested. I know this granary, but what about the other granaries?"
Indeed, there is not only one granary in every state or county. This large granary is just a cover-up. At least half of the grain goes into the pockets of dignitaries.
The tax revenue here is even more serious. Officials and garrison families can make tax laws at will. More than half of the food of ordinary people's families is turned over to the state. What's more, they have to deal with natural and man-made disasters. Sooner or later they will not be able to eat.
These things were discovered by Zhao Zhongru after he came here.
