Chapter 160: Decision
When Zhao Fu reappeared in front of everyone the next day, he had a big dark circle under his eyes.
It's not that the night is too beautiful, it's that there are too many troubles.
Zhao Fu thought about it all night, thinking that it was about to merge with the city wall.
As before, when he walked into the room, all eyes surrendered to him, and he was once again the center of attention.
"I didn't come up with it." Zhao Fu shook his head, how can there be a double law in the world, he is just a mortal, he really can't think of it.
"But...... I probably know what to do. Zhao Fu's next sentence once again raised everyone's interest.
Zhao Fu thought about it for a long time, but he didn't know what solution Lin Haoyan left for himself - what Lin Haoyan thought, what Lin Haoyan wanted him to do, he didn't know anything.
But fortunately, Zhao Fu understood that Lin Haoyan must be the same as himself, hating Lin Sixing, the Empress Dowager Mei, and at the same time, he couldn't bear to let the country fall into huge chaos. This has become a huge conflict, he can't be with Lin Sixing and other people from the new emperor's forces, but he can't claim the name of the country. If Zhao Fu is willing, then as long as he waves his hand, he can gather hundreds of thousands of available troops in the entire northwest territory, and with him and Zheng Yuan leading, it will not be difficult to take the imperial capital. But if he goes south, he will surely suffer from the misery of life, and it will be the people who will suffer. Zhao Fu didn't want to do this.
really thought about it for a long, long time, and Zhao Fu suddenly had an epiphany, he didn't need to worry about it for so long, Lin Haoyan had already helped him think about the next path.
"What is this?" Zhao Fu saw a huge ...... on the table Envelop?
Although there is something wrong with using an envelope to describe it, because Zhao Fu can't tell what this thing looks like, although it can be seen at a glance that it is used to deliver messages, or it is more appropriate to describe it as an invitation.
The huge invitation card is inlaid with gold edges, and the gold dust used on it alone is probably enough to meet the annual consumption of a family of three in the imperial capital, which shows its luxury. The Zhao family has been in business for several years, and the Lanhe Empire is inseparable from the Zhao family's business, and the wealth hoarded may be able to buy a Lanhe Empire.
"Our family...... sent. "Zhao Qian is also trying his best to separate himself from the Zhao family here, but He Nai can't do it.
Since this is something sent by the Zhao family, it is natural for Zhao Qian to come forward to explain.
Zhao Fu opened this invitation and had a general understanding of the message that the Zhao family wanted to convey to him. In fact, it is very simple, the Zhao family of Lanting can also be regarded as a branch of the Zhao family in the imperial capital. Of course, it should be called the Zhongzhou Zhao family now.
The Zhao family in Zhongzhou, as the main family, hopes that Zhao Fu can join them and join the Zhao State. For this reason, they may have made a rich promise, as long as Zhao Fu joins the search, they can rule north and south. Zhao Fu managed the northern part of the Zhao State, and the Zhao family managed the southern part of the Zhao State. The same is true when the entire Lanhe Empire is conquered, which is equivalent to dividing half of the country.
The Zhao family's attention to Zhao Fu can be seen, and they said that they were willing to exchange half of their rights and interests for Zhao Fu's joining, of course, this is not because of the generosity of the Zhao family, but more because of Zhao Fu's strength. In other words, Zhao Fu's strategic significance is too important in this situation, and the current northwest is indeed an important place - it serves as the gateway to the empire and leads directly to the north court, and can directly trade from the Hu people to obtain a large number of high-quality war horses.
The Zhao family started as a businessman, so they naturally understand the stakes, as long as they can draw Zhao Fu into their camp, the price is worth it. What's more, Zhao Fu is not only extremely outstanding in military affairs now, but also has the capital to mix in politics. Over the years, Zhao Fu has only fought a few big battles, but they have all shocked the world with miraculous results, and everyone's evaluation of him is the same as Lin Haoyan, from "a little kid who doesn't know anything" to a real big man, and no one looks down on them because of their age.
Of course, the Zhao family wanted to encircle Zhao Fu, and their ambitions were completely exposed after the founding of the country, and the Zhao family chose to establish a country in Zhongzhou, a land of four wars, and the loss of horses must be huge, and they couldn't get around the northwest and Zhao Fu's support.
"Just take a look, sir, don't take it seriously!" Zhao Qian saw that Zhao Fu was looking very seriously, and hurriedly persuaded.
Of course, there are other things written on the invitation, such as the official founding ceremony of Zhao Guo will be held in Zhongzhou Daliang in the late autumn of two months, and Zhao Fu and everyone from Lanting City are on the invitation list. The invitation still played its main role, only to convey the news of the founding of the country to everyone.
In Zhao Qian's opinion, although there are many benefits to joining the Zhao family's camp on the surface, he will definitely be checked and balanced by the Zhao family at that time, and he is not as comfortable as being the head of the country in all aspects.
"It's okay, it's okay." Zhao Fu waved his hand, if he hadn't understood what Lin Haoyan meant before, he might have hesitated to accept the invitation sent by the Zhao family, but now he was no longer confused.
"Uncle Feng, bring a blank notice, I have something important to inform the whole country." Zhao Fu said to Feng Yu.
"Okay." Feng Yu immediately ordered someone to prepare.
What is Zhao Fu's choice, everyone is looking forward to Zhao Fu's speech.
"I declare that the Northwest will always be the Northwest of the Lan River Empire." Zhao Fu said that this was already the best solution he could think of.
Including the most experienced Feng Yu, most people didn't realize what Zhao Fu meant for the first time.
"Wonderful!" But Zhao Qian was the first to react, and he quickly understood what Zhao Fu meant.
"What?" The others hurriedly asked, Zhao Fu's words made them foggy, and he didn't seem to say anything.
Zhao Fu didn't say anything. Zhao Qian began to explain to everyone that Zhao Fuyi did not want to establish his own country like the Zhao family, causing disputes over sovereignty and territory, leading to war. There is also a reluctance to bow down to the royal family led by Lin Sixing.
But what Zhao Fu said is like the latter, Zhao Fu and Lin Haoyan have a good relationship, everyone here knows that it can be said that Zhao Fu's ability to get to this position today is inseparable from Lin Haoyan's appreciation and trust in him, how could Zhao Fu choose to take refuge in Lin Sixing?
And Zhao Qian reacted the fastest, Zhao Fu did not want to change the court, but once again threw the problem back to Lin Sixing - he still did not plan to establish his own country, and still positioned himself as the northwest of the Lanhe Empire. But in fact, everyone knows that the empire and the royal family have completely lost control of the northwest.
Zhao Fu is tantamount to letting Lin Sixing help him take the blame.
