Chapter 1548: Conquest of the Empire (44)
Even if the crown prince wants the seven princes to be bullied, he will not be happy that his subordinates dare to act so boldly, and there is no distinction between respect and inferiority!
This is definitely sowing discord! I must find out these bastards, and he must be worse than life and death!
Just when a group of people were waiting for Zhao Hu to shout "no courtesy", and a group of people were waiting to see Zhao Hu come out of trouble, Zhao Hu turned over and dismounted, knelt down on one knee to the Seventh Prince, and said with his left hand close to his chest: "Your Highness."

This kind of etiquette is the highest etiquette in the army, and it is generally only used when the two sides are more than three ranks apart, and when facing members of the royal family during the ceremony, but don't think about the warlord using this etiquette to people in these years.
Now that Zhao Hu made this move, almost everyone was stunned, and the Seven Princes were also scared stupid, why did Zhao Hu come out like this? Is he ready to be loyal to himself? You won't die like this, will you?
And some of the more complicated ones nodded secretly, just a courtesy made the notoriety of no distinction leave Zhao Hu.
Although the Seventh Prince couldn't believe that such a thing would happen, he reflexively immediately said with a smile on his face: "Ah, please hurry up, how can His Highness ......?"
Before he finished speaking, he found that Zhao Hu had already gotten up, and then Zhao Hu didn't see the figure of the Seventh Prince, so he arched his hand to the others and said, "No courtesy, get up." ā
What's even more excessive is that as soon as Zhao Hu finished speaking, he threw off his cloak and stepped into the Dashuai's mansion.
This time, everyone was dumbfounded, and the face of the Seven Princes couldn't help but change, what is this? Not only do they not respond to their own words, but they also act as if they do not exist! In that case, why do you want to make such a big gift? It's not a compliment!
Or people with complicated brains understand that Zhao Hu's move is to show that he respects the royal family at the same time, but does not look at the Seven Princes in his eyes, he is doing it for the crown prince.
I didn't expect that there would be so many considerations for a small etiquette issue, it seems that this Overseer is not a good character, and it is better to be a man with his tail between his legs in this troubled world without soldiers and power.
Zhou Wen glared at the Seventh Prince fiercely, and then followed Zhao Hu into the Great Marshal's Mansion, and then several higher-level internal guards even held back the Seventh Prince's murderous glance several times.
The Seventh Prince was not an ordinary person, and he quickly understood the reason, and immediately let a frightened look appear on his face, and walked in cautiously with a resigned look.
The Seventh Prince understands that someone is molesting Zhao Hu, but this kind of flirtation, anyone will think that it is because the prince is not angry! This is really a great injustice! Can you be such an idiot? Who knows if this Overseer will pull out his sword and cut himself when he is angry, there is no place to redress his grievances! I curse the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of this framer!
When the magnates walked into the marshal's mansion in order, the last man in the crowd inadvertently looked at the back of Zhao Hu in the crowd, revealing a gritted teeth and indignant look.
It's just that he didn't expect that after he just subconsciously showed an expression that matched his mood, he would suddenly have a headache in his head, and then he would have no consciousness at all.
The magnate walking in front subconsciously turned his head to look at it, and blinked a little suspiciously, wasn't there another person behind him just now, why was it gone? Instead, let yourself be the last? Are you dazzled?
The magnate shook his head in confusion, thinking about what he was doing at this time, so he quickly threw his doubts aside.
Of course, Zhao Hu's internal guards saw two secret guards who suddenly appeared and knocked out the last powerful person in the crowd, and quickly disappeared with this powerful person.
In addition to secretly guessing what this powerful person had done, the expression on their faces was that they absolutely didn't see what had just happened.
After entering the lobby of the Marshal's Mansion, Zhao Hu politely asked the Seventh Prince to sit in the first place, the Seventh Prince is not stupid, of course he knows that this is a polite question, just now a etiquette problem made Zhao Hujun hostile to himself, and now there is another temptation to sit in the first place, I am afraid that someone will assassinate him.
Thinking of this, the Seventh Prince hurriedly sat down in the first place, as long as he had already sat down, could Zhao Hu still drag himself to the first place? Seeing the appearance of the Seven Princes like this, Zhao Hu could only give up, and those powerful people sat down more obediently according to their status.
Although after sitting down, some people find that there seems to be less people, but at this time, they just sweep the snow in front of the door, and no one will be stupid enough to call out, who knows what the missing guy is?
"Well, this righteous act of recovering Haiquan Province has been greatly helped by you, and because of your support, the soldiers of my 20th Legion can restore the glory of Haiquan Province so easily......"
Zhao Hu, who had already prepared, began to exaggerate the role of these powerful people.
Zhou Wen, who was standing behind Zhao Hu, carefully observed the expressions of everyone in the hall.
Zhou Wen found that these magnates were a little complacent, and some were honestly afraid, only a slight frown.
Seeing this, Zhou Wen couldn't help but immediately pay attention to these powerful people.
Zhou Wen, who was in charge of commanding the secret guard system, knew very well who these people were, one was the president of the Haiquan Provincial Chamber of Commerce Alliance, the other was the brigade commander of the local garrison, the brigade commander who abandoned the Seven Princes to join his own master, and the other was the county magistrate of the county government below.
These three people are just more flexible, and their status is not worthy of Zhou Wen's attention, so after just remembering their faces, he put this matter aside.
After Zhao Hu's words ended, these magnates scrambled to say that they didn't dare to take it seriously, but Zhao Hu's next words made them all prick up their ears: "Since everyone supports this legion to recover Haiquan Province, then I hope you will continue to support the next thing." ā
Hearing this, most of the people's faces were a little ugly, in their minds, the so-called support is to repay the money, which new official is not open-minded blackmail? Now expect the Overseer not to open his mouth.
"Now Haiquan Province has just been recovered, and it needs a lot of manpower, you are all people with heads and faces, and you must have done a good job in education at home, so this Overseer asks you to recommend one or two excellent sons and nephews in your family to help this Overseer manage Haiquan Province, I wonder if you are willing to help with this?" Zhao Hu said in a light tone.
The magnates who had been preparing to cover their chests in distress immediately lit up when they heard this, and they were worried that they would not have a chance to enter the Overseer's system, and now they had fallen into such a great opportunity? This can not only eliminate the previous relationship with the head of the Kate Division, but also make his family prosperous.
At the first time, everyone happily expressed their willingness to immediately recommend a few juniors to serve the Overseer, although everyone knew that this was tantamount to hostage, but this was also a way to reassure both sides, right?
However, those who don't know Zhao Hujun's internal system are thinking about throwing which useless sons and nephews in the family to Zhao Hu, and those who know Zhao Hujun's internal background are thinking about which outstanding junior to recommend to Zhao Hu.
The two completely different thinking made a strange atmosphere suddenly appear in the lobby, and the well-informed Zhao Hu knew what was going on as soon as he saw everyone's expressions, and said with a slight smile: "Since everyone has no opinion, then go back and prepare, and report the list before noon the next day." ā
Everyone is a clever person, as soon as they heard this, they knew that they were sending off guests, and they hurriedly got up and saluted and retreated, and the Seven Princes also wanted to leave, but they were left by Zhao Hu.
Looking at the Seventh Prince in front of him with a worried look and an immature appearance, Zhao Hu sighed in his heart and said in a very casual tone: "Your Highness, you can live in the Marshal's Mansion for the time being." ā
"Damn, Zhao Hu, hasn't this guy decided what to do with His Highness yet? It looks like I'm going to be scared for a while. Although the Seventh Prince thought so in his heart, he had a relieved look on his face, thanked Zhao Hu very gratefully, and then followed the guards down to settle down.
Seeing that there were no outsiders in the lobby, Zhou Wen asked out loud: "Lord, what to do with the people hidden in the shadows of the Seven Princes?" ā
Zhao Hu thought about it for a while and said, "Well, let's monitor it for the time being, if it doesn't harm us, we don't have to pay too much attention to it." ā
"What about the Seven Princes? Why don't you send him to the imperial capital and hand him over to the crown prince? Otherwise, if something happens to us, it will be a big problem. Zhou Wen proposed.
Zhao Hu pondered for a moment: "Let's put me under house arrest here for the time being, after all, I'm just a teenager." ā
Zhou Wen hesitated when he heard this.
He knew that his lord was pitiful for the Seventh Prince, and the idiot also knew that sending a prince like him to the imperial capital would definitely soon have no news of life and death, but imprisoning the prince in private like this would damage the reputation of the lord, and it would also arouse the suspicion of the crown prince.
However, Zhou Wen immediately laughed at himself, did he really regard the Twentieth Legion as the crown prince's descendant? Do you have to consider the face of the crown prince? Hey, as long as the owner of the family is willing, what about the prince under house arrest? If you have suspicion, what can you do with your own master?
Thinking of this, Zhou Wen immediately said respectfully: "Yes, but the minister is a little puzzled, why do you want to let those powerful people from Haiquan Province enter our system?" The talents we have cultivated ourselves alone are enough to fill the manpower needed by Haiquan Province. Zhou Wen was very puzzled by this.
