Chapter 1072: Tempting Zhao Feng

Zhao Feng's intention of sending Xiong Da to find out the person behind it is also obvious.

is a different son of heaven, Zhao Feng needs a different attitude.

Moreover, Zhao Feng couldn't ask in person who the person behind Li Changshi was.

So I can only let Xiong Da go to investigate.

After all, Zhao Feng's current position determines that Zhao Feng can only recognize a great Han emperor.

If Zhao Feng asks, it will make people feel that Zhao Feng is like three heavenly sons, all of whom are recognized.

This will bring unnecessary trouble to Zhao Feng.

After all, people are terrible!

A moment later.

Xiong Da and a person dressed in eunuch clothes walked into the Chinese army's tent together.

Xiong Da bowed his hand to Zhao Feng, then walked to his position and stood still, and then whispered: "Shouchun is here." ”

As soon as Zhao Feng heard it, he knew that it was someone sent by Yuan Shu, and he knew the bottom in his heart.

Li Changshou gave Zhao Feng a long look: "The lower official pays a visit to King Zhao!" ”

Zhao Feng raised his hand in the air: "Li Changshou doesn't need to be polite!" ”

Then he said bluntly: "I don't know what Your Majesty ordered Li Changzhi to come to?" ”

Nominally speaking, Zhao Feng married Yuan Shu and supported Yuan Shu, so Zhao Feng wanted to call Yuan Shu His Majesty.

Of course, in order to show respect for the Han Dynasty, even if Liu Xie sent someone to come, Zhao Feng would still call Liu Xie His Majesty.

Only if Liu Zhang sent someone to come, Zhao Feng would not call His Majesty.

Li Changshou waved at Zhao Feng: "Your Majesty said that now the people of Yangzhou are short of food and continue to deteriorate, I am afraid that there will be a situation of changing children and eating among the people." ”

"Your Majesty can't bear it, thinking about whether King Zhao can ......"

Zhao Feng frowned and said, "Can it be anything?" ”

Li Changshou raised his head and said: "Can you pay 30% of the tax to Your Majesty to help the people of Yangzhou!" ”

After Zhao Feng heard this, he was stunned for a moment.

This is an open and honest request for food? Or permanent?

Do you really think of yourself as an emperor?

I don't know if Yuan Shu's brain was broken, or if the strategists under Yuan Shu gave Yuan Shu a bad idea.

Of course, it stands to reason that the taxes of the Han Dynasty will naturally be paid to the Son of Heaven.

Yuan Shu's request was not excessive, and he only asked for 30% of the tax.

As for whether it is 30% of the total tax or 30% of the total grain, it is a play on words.

You can talk about it slowly in the future.

Moreover, Yuan Shu still talked about the people of Yangzhou.

Once Zhao Feng refused, Yuan Shu could use this to make a fuss.

If the people of Yangzhou are really short of food, Yuan Shu can throw this black pot to Zhao Feng.

In this way, as long as there is a little guidance, the people hate Zhao Feng, not Yuan Shu.

In this way, Yuan Shu will not lose any popular support.

After all, it is reasonable to pay taxes to the Son of Heaven!

However, since the beginning of the division of the princes, there has been no way for the princes to pay the taxes to the Son of Heaven.

It's just that these things are open secrets among the princes, but the people know very little.

Zhao Feng hadn't spoken yet.

Xiong sneered coldly: "Thirty percent tax!" ”

"Don't you think it's too much?"

Zhao Feng stopped: "Don't be rude!" ”

Then he muttered, "I seem to be strong now. ”

"But Youzhou has been fighting for many years, and the people of Youzhou have long been harmed by the Xianbei and Wuhuan armies, and they can't cultivate food."

"I still need to spend a lot of food every year to help the people of Youzhou."

"In addition, in order to prevent the Xiongnu from colluding with Xianbei and Wuhuan, I will send a lot of extra grain every year to make good friends with the Huns."

"And asking the Xiongnu to send troops to Youzhou to assist our army in confronting Xianbei and Wuhuan also cost a lot of food."

"So, where do I have any food left?"

These things are far away in Youzhou, and unless Yuan Shu sends someone to investigate, the news he knows will not be too accurate.

So there's room for.

Li Changshou glanced at Zhao Feng and said indignantly: "These Huns are really too much! ”

"Your Majesty has sealed Hu Chuquan as Shan Yu, as long as Your Majesty has an edict, you can naturally order Hu Chuquan to send troops to assist King Zhao."

"Where do you dare to ask for so many benefits?"

"The lower official will return to Shouchun, please give your majesty an edict to the Hun Shan Yu Hu Chuquan, and let him send troops!"

"After solving the matter of the Huns, I think King Zhao should be able to hand over the grain given to the Huns to His Majesty!"

Zhao Feng was speechless for a while, not knowing what to say.

If Yuan Shu's power is far stronger than Zhao Feng's, this remark will still have some effect.

Because logically speaking, it was Zhao Feng who first talked about the Huns, and then Yuan Shu solved the Huns problem by taking the spot, and Zhao Feng had no reason to refuse.

But the problem now is that Yuan Shu is far weaker than Zhao Feng, so this is meaningless.

Of course, this is from Zhao Feng's point of view.

From the perspective of the chamberlain, it may be called witty!

It's just that the premise is that it has to be done.

Li Changshou saw that Zhao Feng didn't reply for a long time, and he didn't explicitly object, so he gave Zhao Feng a long look: "Thank you King Zhao for showing compassion to the people of Yangzhou!" ”

"Xiaguan will go back and tell Your Majesty the news."

After speaking, he turned around and withdrew from the Chinese army's big tent.

Zhao Feng was speechless for a while.

Is this trying to use the power of the Son of Heaven and the people to force himself to submit?

But the problem is that Yuan Shu is weaker than himself now!

In addition, in addition to Yuan Shu, there are also Xu Du Tianzi and Chengdu Tianzi!

What's the use of playing on your own head?

After Li Changzhi left, Xiong said angrily: "Why does the lord tolerate this guy? ”

"This guy is just too presumptuous!"

Zhao Feng smiled: "I want to see what Yuan Shu wants to do." ”

"Perhaps because of limited knowledge, or for other reasons, the chamberlain will only think that Yuan Shu is the greatest."

"But Yuan Shu and the strategists under Yuan Shu obviously don't think so."

Xiong Da was stunned for a moment: "What does the lord mean?" ”

"Yuan Shu wants to use this to test the lord?"

Zhao Feng pondered for a moment: "Whether it's a temptation or not, I can't say it." ”

"Anyway, if it happens, it will only be good for Yuan Shu, and there will be no harm."

"If it doesn't work out, send another person next time, isn't it okay?"

Xiong Da asked, "How is the lord going to deal with it?" ”

Zhao Feng smiled: "What do we need to deal with?" ”

"It should be Yuan Shu, how do you need to deal with us!"

As soon as Zhao Feng's voice fell, he felt that this sentence was a little inappropriate.

I really should think carefully about how to deal with Yuan Shu.

After all, nominally, Zhao Feng was 'subordinate' to Yuan Shu.

The original plan was for Cao Cao to destroy Lu Bu, and Liu Biao, Liu Bei, and Sun Ce joined forces to destroy Yuan Shu together.

In this way, Lu Bu and Yuan Shu died, and as long as Zhao Feng eliminated Cao Cao and took the last step, the obstacles would basically be cleared.

As a result, Sun Ce was assassinated in the end, and Liu Biao only thought about preserving his strength.

As a result, Yuan Shu is still alive and well!
