Chapter 109

The envoy of the north is of course the envoy of Cai Guo! Cai Guo and Anyang signed an agreement, and even made an oath; but it does not mean that there is no way to do something else. For example, provoking civil unrest in Great Xia!

After a little discussion between the two, a decision was made immediately. The crown prince wants to contact, this banner is still very good; but Cai Guo also wants to contact, it is more beneficial! In order to plan for the Great Xia Kingdom, Cai Guo offered very generous conditions!

Cai Guo only needs... Anyang! Yes, Cai Guo's idea is to let the two cooperate to capture Anyang and give Anyang to Cai Guo, that's all. You must know that Anyang is a county in name, but in fact it is only a county, only one-half or even one-fiftieth of the area of ​​an ordinary county.

As long as the two agree to Cai Guo's conditions, they will immediately receive hundreds of thousands of taels of gold support, as well as counselors, weapons and armor from Cai Guo. In addition, the two can even "buy soldiers".

Yes, Cai Guo promised not to invade the Great Xia Kingdom, but if the people of the Great Xia Kingdom take the initiative to "buy soldiers", that's another matter! This fairyland has existed for tens of thousands of years, and naturally there will be no shortage of various schemes and so on.

With their ideas set, the two finally jointly sent representatives to meet Cai Guo's representatives for the benefit of their own local separatist regime. And the representative of Cai Guo is Ye Mingquan; Ye Mingquan can be said to be the plenipotentiary representative of Cai Guo in Da Xia.

The messenger first inquired about Cai Guo's initial intentions, and then Shi Chengsong and Zhao Guoshan finally visited Ye Mingquan in person.

"I am very glad that the two adults chose Cai Guo. Please sit down. This is the condition that we have drawn up. If there is no problem, we will swear to God."

Shi Chengsong and Zhao Guoshan took the paper from Ye Mingquan and looked at it carefully. After confirming that there was no problem, the two immediately swore.

Then Ye Mingquan also made an oath on behalf of Cai Guo, and asked His Majesty the Emperor Cai Guo to personally write and seal the oath, burn it to the heavens, and complete the oath.

After the solemn oath was over, Ye Mingquan was immediately happy, "My lords, from now on, we are friends. Tell me, what help do you need now? You're welcome, but it's okay."

Shi Chengsong thought for a while, "For the time being, we have enough soldiers, but there are too many soldiers, and the warehouse is a bit empty. Look at this..."

"It's easy to say, 30,000 taels of gold will be delivered to Zhongshan County within five days. Where's Mr. Zhao?"

Zhao Guoshan smiled "embarrassed", "It's the same, it's all the same. Otherwise, we wouldn't have gone to Anyang."

"Well, within five days, I, Cai Guo, will give each of the two adults 30,000 taels of gold as a token of my affection."

"Thank you so much." Shi Chengsong and Zhao Guoshan said in unison.

After the two left, Ye Mingquan suddenly sneered, "You two are the only ones still trying to separate one side and seek hegemony? Humph! Let's fight, let's fight hard, 60,000 taels of gold can bring 60,000 soldiers to the Great Xia Kingdom!" Die. When you are almost dead, the east of the Great Xia Kingdom will belong to my Cai Kingdom!

Is this control? Is this the power of wisdom? Is this the power of money? This feeling is so cool! "

However, after Shi Chengsong and Zhao Guoshan came out, they immediately contacted the second prince, who is now the prince, and expressed their willingness to surrender.

After the Second Prince received the surrender from these two people, he was as expected by Xu Ren and the others - he was ecstatic!

Unlike the first prince Xia Xu and the third prince Xia Guang, the second prince "Xia Shu" had no one around him at all, and he didn't have the luck of Li Xian to get a counselor like Xu Ren. The people around the second prince are only his mother's relatives.

Xia Shu's grandfather, Yue Tianya, was the largest businessman in Cai State, rich but lacking military power.

Uncle Yue Qingfeng has the brains of a counselor, but he is not a real counselor like Xu Ren and Beichen Yuqing, a counselor who seeks the country; he is more inclined towards business.

Xia Shu also has a cousin, Yue Baoxia, a dude!

Counting and calculating, the second prince's uncle Yue Qingfeng still has some political wisdom; but it seems that there is not much.

However, there is one person who should not be underestimated, that is the second prince's biological mother, the "beauty" Yue Zhaohua. Although the status is very low, it is naturally not easy for Yue Zhaohua to make the second prince a prince. Just because of her status as a concubine in the harem, Yue Zhaohua was restrained everywhere.

Therefore, this time, after receiving the surrender from Shi Chengsong and Zhao Guoshan, the second prince did not ask his mother, but directly asked his uncle Yue Qingfeng.

Yue Qingfeng thinks with a business-oriented mindset. "We are alone now. It would be great if we could have two counties join us, even in name only! Of course we have to accept it. But they have to show something.

As for the persecution in Anyang, it is very simple. You are now the prince and have the right to supervise the country. You directly ordered Anyang, saying that Zhongshan County and Luliang County are under the supervision of His Royal Highness. Tell Anyang not to interfere. "

"Then I will give an order immediately, and order Anyang not to interfere." Finally, he got the power to be loyal to himself, which made the second prince forget himself happily.

"Wait, don't rush, wait for Shi Chengsong from Zhongshan County and Zhao Guoshan from Luliang County to express. What we have to do now is to wait quietly. The initiative must be in our hands."

"Yes, yes, uncle is right!" The second prince responded quickly.

Yue Qingfeng rubbed his brows, the second prince suddenly became a prince, Yue Tianya sent Yue Qingfeng to assist his hopeful star, but Yue Qingfeng was really distressed. Although business and politics have some similarities, they are not the same; sometimes one wrong step can lead to undoing.

After thinking for a long time, Yue Qingfeng asked, "Your Highness, how is your contact with the Yuan family and the Shangguan family recently? We are not short of money, but we lack military strength. In any case, we must win over a military general. Now alone The military generals, besides Taiwei Yuan Yong, is the great general Shangguan Guang."

"Uncle, the attitude of the Shangguan family is ambiguous. I suspect that the Shangguan family has already connected with the Wang family and the third prince. But Yuan Yong made it clear that he respected His Majesty's will."

"Respecting His Majesty's will should mean supporting Your Highness. You find a chance and let me meet Yuan Yong, and I will talk to him."

"Uncle, Yuan Yong's eldest son, Yuan Cai, is currently serving orders under the eldest prince's command. Does this mean..."

Yue Qingfeng smiled: "Don't worry, it's okay, don't put all your eggs in one basket, this is something that many big families are doing. This matter, even if you want to care about it, you can't care about it."

"Okay, I'll go to Yuan Yong to discuss."

It's just that the second prince was overjoyed, Yuan Yong was not a new and tender second prince; facing the second prince's invitation, Yuan Yong simply refused.

This made the second prince feel anxious. Could it be that Yuan Yong supported him? This surprise was no small matter.

But Yuan Yong is an old fox, seeing the second prince's expression, he immediately added a few words: "Your Highness should be filial by His Majesty's side now, and take the opportunity to obtain the governance right of Dongyuan County.

Dongyuan County is in the southeast of Daxia Kingdom, with the sea in the east, Luliang County in the north, Nanyang County where the Kong family is located in the west, and Jin State in the south.

If Luliang County and Zhongshan County in the north join His Highness, His Highness will be able to control the three southeastern counties of Great Xia Kingdom in one fell swoop. "

When the second prince heard this, he made a calculation in his heart and was immediately overjoyed; if this matter is handled properly, the second prince will instantly become the southeast governor of the Great Xia Kingdom from a crown prince in name only!

After the second prince floated away happily, a trace of contempt flashed deep in Yuan Yong's eyes. "The eldest prince is incompetent, the second prince is ineffective, and the third prince is underage. The country has no successors!

On the other hand, the courtiers, needless to say, the Li family, the Wang family is also not simple, Shangguan Yong, son of General Shangguan, and Zhang Quan, son of Shangshu, are all extraordinary!

Great Xia Kingdom, hey!

Zhao Guoshan and Shi Chengsong were in a hurry, and so was the prince. "
