Volume 1 The Beginning of the Internet Café 145 King Chang's Determination
When Cai Hui and Cai Ji were discussing how to deal with the chaos in Lan State, Zhao Xu, who had been in the Changguo royal family for a long time, finally got a summons from Tian Shengtian, the current emperor of Changguo and the former generalissimo of Cai Guo.
It stands to reason that Zhao Xu has been taking refuge in the Tian family for so long, he should have been summoned a long time ago, no matter what purpose Zhao Xu had for joining the royal family, but his Zhao family is also a warlord family, isn't it? Not to mention in Gaya City, even in the entire Changguo, they are all well-known figures, and the strength of the family is also strong.
But that's what Tian Shengtian did. Maybe he wanted Zhao Xu to deal with the bullshit in the family first, or maybe he planned to dry Zhao Xu and tell him that since he had taken refuge in the royal family, he would be a dog obediently in the future.
In the mansion of the head of the Zhao family, Zhao Xu, who had not finished dinner, couldn't take care of eating after being summoned, and hurriedly got up and went back to the bedroom to prepare to change his clothes and meet him. Zhao's wife also hurriedly followed her husband to get up and go to wait for her husband to change clothes.
"This Tian Shengtian is also really, it doesn't make people eat well! I haven't seen you for so many days, but now I am summoned to attract suspicion! ”
Obviously, Zhao's wife was obviously dissatisfied with Tian Shengtian's summoning of Zhao Xu at this time. But there is no way, who let the family take the lead in overthrowing Cai Guo, plus the Tian family is also the strongest of all warlord families, he, Tian Shengtian, as the head of the Tian family, does not become the emperor, who dares to be the emperor?
"Okay, now that we have taken refuge in the Tian family, we must be mentally prepared to be dogs. No matter what you say behind the scenes, you still have to do what you look like. Don't say these things in the future, although you are a woman, even if you are heard, you will not say much. But you are the Zhao family after all, understand? ”
While Zhao Xu hurriedly dressed in a hurry, he did not forget to comfort his wife a few words. His wife is not an ordinary person, when she was not married to herself, she was also a genius girl of the warlord Fu family. It's a pity that after all, she still didn't escape the fate of marriage, but fortunately, Zhao Xu also pitied her enough, and there was no embarrassing situation between the two of them.
"Got it! I won't talk about it later. But you must not say that you are a dog! After waiting for Zhao Xu to get dressed, Zhao's wife gently patted Zhao Xu's chest, and was very dissatisfied with Zhao Xu's self-deprecation.
"Okay, ma'am, you can take care of the two little rabbits first. I'll be back in a moment. ”
Changguo Imperial Palace, in the Detian Hall where Tian Shengtian rested, Tian Shengtian rubbed his eyebrows irritably. In the past, he always felt that the emperor could rule the world without doing anything, but after he sat in this position, Tian Shengtian felt unprecedented pressure. To deal with countless government affairs every day, it is necessary to look at the entire Changguo.
Even the three thousand beauties he once envied made Tian Shengtian annoyed. His wife, who is now the Empress of Changguo, used to be a good-looking person in her in-law's family, but unfortunately, her family did not teach her how to intrigue in the harem. And most of the concubines in his new family are well-versed in this way from a warlord family.
When a queen does not have enough means and scheming to command the harem, and the concubines are good at dancing with long sleeves one by one, you can imagine how chaotic the harem of Changguo is. Even turning over a sign every day, Tian Shengtian had to consider whether the eunuch who gave the brand was sold by a certain concubine, so that the brand on the entire table was the name of a certain concubine.
Speaking of the fact that Zhao Xu was not summoned before, it was really not Tian Shengtian who deliberately ordered something to get off the horse, but there was really something delayed. Dealing with government affairs and pacifying the harem every day, Tian Shengtian still has to practice martial arts, and some time ago he was summoned by a nobleman, which caused this matter to be delayed again and again, and I didn't think about it until now.
"Your Majesty, General Zhao Xu and General Zhao are waiting outside the palace gate, are you summoned now?"
Tian Shengtian, who happened to finish reading a recital, heard the voice of the eunuch outside the door, so he put down the recital, "Let him come over." ”
Regarding Zhao Xu's refuge in himself, Tian Shengtian was still very happy. After the establishment of the Chang State, he fought everywhere all the year round, relying on the strategy of nourishing the war with war, those warlord families who had followed him to overthrow the Cai State could be said to have eaten fat and made a lot of money. So much so that there may be some thoughts that should not be there.
Therefore, Tian Shengtian was anxious to quickly rein in the power that was delegated back then. As his experimental subject, the Zhao family achieved better results than Tian Shengtian's plan! not only suppressed the warlord family, but even recovered the Zhao family, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
As for what Zhao Xu had in mind, Tian Shengtian could guess it to some extent. But Tian Sheng Tianle became the backer behind the Zhao family. In the future, he plans to let the Zhao family continue to bite those warlord families.
"Minister Zhao Xu, I've seen the emperor!"
After Zhao Xu entered the door, he knelt down on one knee and saluted. The etiquette of Changguo is different from that of Lan and Cai. Tian Shengtian seemed to prefer the etiquette that he used to have in the army, so he changed the etiquette of the monarch and ministers from bowing to kneeling on one knee.
"Zhao Aiqing, I haven't seen you for many days, I look at your face, it's still quite moist recently?" Tian Shengtian casually talked to Zhao Xu about some family matters, and was not in a hurry to get to the point.
Zhao Xu naturally pushed the boat along the river, "Thanks to Your Majesty's blessing, the ministers have been living smoothly recently." The brothers who were awkward at home were more sensible, and the ghosts outside also restrained their minions because of His Majesty's brilliant power. ”
"Well," Tian Shengtian replied undeniably, the greetings of the monarch and ministers ended, and then Tian Shengtian planned to enter the topic.
"A few days ago, I was away from the imperial capital for a while. After I came back, I heard rumors that there was a magical shop in the Origin City of the Lan Kingdom, which could allow martial arts to improve cultivation without side effects. The cultivation process is like entering another world, and at the same time, you can also learn some strange martial arts. Zhao Aiqing once rushed to Yuanqi City in person, I don't know if this matter is true or false? ”
The corners of Zhao Xu's mouth twitched, how closed are Tian Shengtian's ears and eyes? The rumors about the origin of the Internet café have been in the past for a long time, especially after the major warlord families and small and medium-sized forces collapsed in the origin city, many people have stopped mentioning these rumors. So many of them passed, and in the end, only a few escaped with their lives, if you mention it again, isn't this a slap in the face!
But since Tian Shengtian asked, Zhao Xu naturally wouldn't hide it.
"Back to Your Majesty, this matter is not a rumor. Chen Zeng personally led the descendants of the family to investigate and confirmed the truth of this matter! It's a pity that the shopkeeper of the shop is too terrifying, and when the minister intends to seize the strange thing and present it to His Majesty, the shopkeeper actually directly injured the minister and others with one move, and the three great masters who accompanied him were all killed on the spot. As for Yin Kan, his whereabouts are still unknown. ”
Tian Shengtian sneered in his heart, if you really got that strange thing, will you give it to me? I'm afraid that I won't organize the Zhao family to leave Changguo as soon as possible, find a deep mountain and old forest to develop secretly, and then find time to rise up and replace me, the emperor of Changguo! But most of the social interactions of adults are hypocritical, no matter what Tian Shengtian thinks in his heart, he still makes a relieved expression on his face.
"Zhao Aiqing has a heart, such a strange thing, it is me, and I am also a little tempted. However, since even the five great grandmasters, dozens of grandmasters, and thousands of great martial artists did not take down the shopkeeper, the strength of this person should not be underestimated. However, this strange thing has a relationship with the country of Chang, and I plan to gather a million troops to attack the city of Yuanqi after a while, and seize this strange thing to the luck of the country of Zhenchang, what does Aiqing think? ”
Tian Shengtian actually planned to send troops to the city? The brain watts can't be! If Tian Shengtian hadn't provoked the attention of the warlord families before, then this battle would have been fought, but now...... No matter how Zhao Xu cheated those warlord families, this matter was fought at the beginning because Tian Shengtian acquiesced to their targeting of the Zhao family.
Launching a million-person war at a time when the people's hearts have not yet been restricted, isn't Tian Shengtian afraid that those who have their own thoughts will get in the way? You must know that Changguo has not been firmly ruled in the real sense since its establishment. The throne he had thus earned could be taken away by someone else in the same way at any time.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Xu still expressed his opinion, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this is not the best opportunity to do it!" The shopkeeper of Nalan Kingdom has just won a big victory, and it is time to be arrogant. And the minister didn't believe it, the other party was also a great grandmaster's cultivation, and there were no side effects from playing such a record!
So that store will definitely not run! On the other hand, within our Changguo, people are now panicking, if a million people are launched in a hurry, I am afraid that there will be villains who will take the opportunity to make huge profits, and may even shake the foundation of Changguo. I also hope that Your Majesty will think twice. It is really unwise to start a war at this time! ”
What Zhao Xu said, Tian Shengtian naturally knew it. Because the Zhao family, which originally belonged to the free body, was hinted at by himself, he was directly downtrodden a lot. It's just that to the surprise of those warlord families, the Zhao family did not stop there. Instead, he went directly to the royal family. Therefore, the warlords who are now fighting have their own careful thoughts.
But a lot of things don't work out as expected. If he really had some choices, he might not have risen up at the beginning, but continued to be a knife in Cai Guo's hands, and he would be his generalissimo and the head of the army. It's a pity, it's a pity.
Someone is forcing themselves to do something, but they can't resist it, what can be done.
Tian Shengtian, who had made a decision early, listened to Zhao Xu's words and made a contemplative look, and finally refuted Zhao Xu.
"Aiqing doesn't have to worry too much, although this matter is a little urgent, but it is not in a hurry. I like that strange thing quite a lot, if I can get this strange thing, I want to come to my Changguo to dominate the world, and the distance will not be too far.
As for those ghosts in Gaya City, they are just little Doyle after all, so don't worry! When I get the strange things, it won't be too much trouble to come back and deal with them! ”
