King Jing glanced at Huang Qiong, who was somewhat slightly surprised, and said with a smile: "Actually, the reason why I did it at the beginning is thanks to the ninth brother who reminded me. If it weren't for the ninth brother taking the old man to the homeless area for a trip and letting the old man know about these things in my fiefdom, I wouldn't have thought of using my strength. I forgot that the old man's Nanbei Zhenfu Division is not only for Beiliao. ”

"That person is ruthless and unscrupulous. In order to achieve the goal, it has always been necessary to do everything. In order to bring down me and my third brother, he can let tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, go to the funeral. I only used Song Gongliang's family, and it can be regarded as a benevolent house. Besides, I've been right with their family all these years. ”

"Although I didn't save his whole family, I saved all his sons and daughters. I know that his eldest son is now in your palace, and the eldest daughter was sent to the palace by you to be protected by Concubine Jing. But the other son and daughter were all saved by me. Although this son became a eunuch, he survived, didn't he? ”

Regarding Huang Qiong's last question, King Jing did not answer directly. Instead, he smiled strangely and said, "As for who the main messenger behind the scenes is, the ninth brother thinks that whoever it is is who." If I were to name and name the ninth brother directly, then there would be no point in continuing this game. Think about it, the drama of the princes seizing the prince has been sung for so long, what a pity it is to stop here? ”

"What's more, if I really find out who he is. Ninth brother, do you think you can really seek revenge on him now? Let's not talk about whether my father agrees or not, just with the light and dark people around him, it is difficult for you to even get close to him. I don't give evidence to the ninth brother, and I am also changing to protect the ninth brother. As for the rest, let's wait until the strength of the ninth brother can really compete with him. ”

looked at Huang Qiong, who was still unfazed and did not continue to ask after hearing that he refused to reveal the main messenger behind the scenes. Putting down the wine glass in his hand, King Jing clapped his hands, and after summoning the person who was waiting outside the account, he said, "This time, the eldest brother, me, and the third brother have all fallen." Now the only one who can compete with that person is the ninth brother. ”

"I know that the ninth brother has been out of the palace for a short time, and there is no money left on him except for the little money given by his father, plus the money. But if you want to compete with that person, you can't do it without money. Not to mention anything else, isn't that the one who eats people and doesn't spit out bones in the middle of the court? Don't look at us as princes, but we don't care if we don't have money. ”

"I have been able to compete with the crown prince for so many years, and I have never fallen behind, relying on more than just skill and scheming. The ninth brother wouldn't think that the income of King Jing's Mansion really depended on that bit of land rent, right? Relying on the annual rent of only 100,000 yuan, how can I really achieve that level? I'm not afraid to tell the ninth brother today that the income of King Jing's Mansion has always been two books. ”

"The ground rent and the shops on the surface are all internal accounts. The really big entry was my smuggling to Northern Liao, Goryeo, and Dongying. Millions of dollars per year are the real source of money for King Jingfu. And these channels and inputs, that person is not known. He thinks that he has control over my input, and with the handle in his hand, he can make me bow down to his use, and he underestimates me too much. ”

"This person was picked up by me from the Jingzhao Mansion Alienation Field, and he is loyal to me. The business of King Jing's Mansion is in his hands. Now, I will hand over these businesses to my ninth brother along with this person. As for these inputs, how the ninth brother will use them in the future, that is the matter of the ninth brother. ”

After that, King Jing turned his head to the man: "Ma Rui, you have been with this king for many years since you were eighteen years old, and you were picked up by this king from the Jingzhao Mansion Huaren Field?" ”

"Back to the prince, it has been twelve years since I was picked up from the pile of dead by my master. It's just that Rui has been running around all these years, and there are not many opportunities to serve by the master's side. Hearing King Jing's question, the man replied without raising his head. didn't even look at Huang Qiong, as if the person next to him was just an ordinary person.

Regarding this person's attitude, King Jing nodded with satisfaction: "This is the ninth brother of this king, you have seen it before." From now on, you are no longer a person from King Jing's Mansion. He is your new master, and all your inheritance will be given to the king. After that, serve him as you would do to this king. As for all the traces of you in King Jing's Mansion, this king has already cleaned up for you. ”

"Master, you handed over those properties to the British king, and Rui has no opinion. Those industries were originally earned by Rui masters. It is the right of the master to hand over to anyone. But Rui can't leave his master, because Rui's life is given by his master, that is, his master. ”

"If it was on weekdays, the master drove Rui away, and Rui didn't complain at all. But at this time, Rui must not leave his master. Even if he is poor and falls into the Yellow Spring, Rui has to follow his master. Hearing that King Jing was going to push himself to King Ying, this person knelt straight in front of King Jing and said with a stubborn expression.

Seeing that he refused to let go, King Jing stood up and helped him up, patted him on the shoulder and said solemnly: "Ma Rui, you have followed this king for so many years, and you are clear about this king's temperament. You know, only this king calculates other people's share, how could you have thought that this king would be calculated so badly? To tell the truth, this king is really unwilling. ”

"That person, I wish that the king's whole family would die, just taking advantage of his desire to kill people and cut down the grass and eradicate the roots? If you go with this king, are you not following their desires? Moreover, if thou go with this king, who will avenge him, and who will avenge thy dead family? ”

"Besides, in the future, when the king is gone, there are still the master mother and the little master who need you to take care of it. If you go with this king, where will you place them? So, instead of dying, you must live well. Although there are many brothers in this king, only this ninth brother can avenge this king and your family. ”

"Alright, don't say any more. Your faithfulness the King knows, and understands. The King of England and this King are close relatives, and your loyalty to the King of England in the future is to be loyal to the King. You have to do your best to assist the King of England, the wish that this king has not fulfilled, now it depends on whether the King of England can achieve it for this king. You can't close your eyes when you let this king go, do you? ”

King Jing's words made this person dare not say anything. After kneeling down again, he kowtowed to King Jing a few times. could only wipe away his tears, and after seeing him come in, he was afraid that this person would be unfavorable to Huang Qiong, so he immediately followed Liu Hu who came in and left the big tent. It's just that after withdrawing, he looked at King Jing in the tent, not knowing what he was thinking.

After this person withdrew, King Jing pointed to his back and said: "This person was originally from a merchant family on Shanxi Road, but their family has an ancestral treasure jade, which was taken by one of our cousins, and if he can't buy it, he will kill people." This person escaped alone and wanted to go to the capital to sue the emperor. But our cousin sent someone to catch up, and after being seriously injured, he was thrown into the field to die. ”

"It was I who passed by there and saved him to pick up this life. When he had recovered from his wounds, he threw himself into my door. He is a business wizard, and he takes care of my secret business, and seventy percent of the income of King Jing's Mansion comes from him. He was responsible for me alone, so I wasn't discovered by that person. ”

"Although you are valued by your father now, your foundation is too shallow. Whether it is the power of the DPRK and the central government, or those things in private, the difference is too great. If you want to build a force that can compete with him in a short period of time, it is impossible without huge financial support. If you can't defeat him, your father will really pass on the throne to you, and you won't be able to sit down at all. ”

Speaking of this, King Jing paused, took out a list from his arms, and said: "I know that the ninth brother is ambitious, and he thinks about the people of the world in his heart. But if you don't get the chair in Hanyuan Palace, all your ambitions, Ninth Brother, can only be empty. If the ninth brother really thinks about the people of the world, he can't escape that position. ”

"Now I'm afraid that except for the ninth brother, all the kings have their own power in the court. Although after the assassination of the ninth brother, the purge of the father and the emperor caused all the kings to suffer heavy losses. But the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, if the father really cleared out all the kings in the court, I am afraid that there are few officials in the court. ”

"These people are the only remaining forces in the DPRK, and they are also the most hidden. It's a pity that although these people are all in the center, there are not many high-level people, and most of them are officials such as the directors of the six departments and the outsiders. Those old foxes in Zhongshu Province and the Six Ministries, although they are never soft when they take money, they will not easily participate in the battle of the prince. ”

"However, although these people are not of high grade at the moment, most of them are talented people. As long as the ninth brother works hard, he will be a pillar of talent in the future. After all, I was fighting for the throne at the beginning, so I have to plan for the future, right? Now I have handed over these people to the ninth brother. I also hope that the ninth brother will be able to make good use of it in the future. The ninth brother got these two gifts, and he will have the capital to compete with that person in the future. ”

It's just that to King Jing's expectation, Huang Qiong didn't take the list he handed over, and he didn't even look at it. Instead, he stared at King Jing quietly for a long time before he said calmly: "Second brother, I won't accept this list, and I won't want your inheritance." It's better to go back to Beijing with me, and I will do my best to protect my second brother when he sees his father. ”

"There are some things, since the second brother is unwilling to tell me, he can tell his father. Although the second brother did something rebellious, this was not the second brother's intention after all. Besides, you are the son of your father after all. Now that Queen Daxing's bones are not cold, even if the father looks at Queen Daxing's face, he will not do too much. As long as you live, there's hope, isn't it? ”

Hearing Huang Qiong persuade him to give up resistance, King Jing shook his head: "Ninth brother, don't be persuading." What can I do even if I see my father? What if my father lets me go? This rebellion, even if I am not the mastermind, but after all, I have already started to recruit private soldiers, which is enough to be confined. ”

"I can't live the next life facing four high walls, and I can't see anything but the birds in the sky all day. In that case, being alive is nothing but the walking dead. It is better to die vigorously than to live in humiliation. What's more, that person will never allow me to enter Beijing to see my father. ”

"He planned so many tricks just to get me. How could he let me enter Beijing alive and present the things he did to my father? I believe in the personality and mind of the ninth brother. But there are some things that cannot be prevented. Why did the ninth brother bother to make trouble for himself? You don't know how poisonous his methods are, and in his heart he doesn't care about anything but the throne. ”

After that, King Jing picked up the list and forcibly stuffed it into Huang Qiong's hands: "I have been working hard for more than ten years, but I didn't expect to make a wedding dress for others in the end." Having come to this point, I am indeed not reconciled. But now it's irreparable, what can I do? So far, I think of Xiang Yu and refuse to cross Jiangdong. Although I am not as heroic as the overlord of Western Chu, I don't want to live in a nest. ”
