Chapter 189: The Tiger Strikes
Xu Dian has long been clear about the temperament of these guys, they are all the kind of people who go up when there is a good thing and hide when there is danger.
It is unrealistic to let them rebel, they are actually very satisfied with their current life, but they are only occasionally slapped in the face by the bigwigs in the DPRK and China, and they are quite resentful, so these people are not enough to succeed and more than to lose, if these people are not dragging their feet, Zhao Zhen may not be defeated again and again in the court battle, and he is forced to be so embarrassed by those bigwigs.
But Zhao Zhen can't do without these guys, because once he loses the support of these guys, Zhao Zhen will be even more isolated in the court.
It is precisely because of the dilemma that the appearance of Zhao Di makes Zhao Zhen even more eager to get this ally.
Xu Dian smiled and shook his head: "You can rest assured, we all know that our little power comes completely from Your Majesty's trust, and the prince of my family has repeatedly explained, you must not cut off Your Majesty's trust, so even if Zhao Di makes that kind of request, I will never agree." β
After receiving Xu Dian's affirmation, these guys nodded reassuringly one by one, and said, "Then what does Mr. Xu think Zhao Di will ask?"
Xu Dian said: "According to my guess, King Di should ask us to prompt His Majesty to give him the title of king, and only after His Majesty gives him the title of king, can he justifiably intervene in the court." β
Of course, these guys will not have any objections to the imperial court's conferral, but as a transaction, these people naturally hope to gain some benefits from it, so someone said: "If you want us to contribute, he Zhao Di should at least give us some benefits, right? Otherwise, this matter is thankless, and it will definitely be a loss-making business for us." β
Xu Dian shook his head and said: " In fact, otherwise, everyone is very clear about the situation in the DPRK and China, all parties are trying their best to block our Zhao children, and the suppression against us has never stopped, why we have been difficult to open the situation, it is because we lack a strong person on our side, and now the King of Dysprosium is the best sword in our hands, as long as he is brought into the court, with his strength will inevitably have a fierce confrontation with all parties in the DPRK and China, at that time, you only need to hide behind the King of Dysprosium and watch the King of Dysprosium conquer the city, and take over the territory that came first for him, this is our biggest benefit, as long as the King of Dysprosium enters the court, it will definitely help us break the deadlockγ β
Listening to Xu Dian's analysis and prospects, these guys couldn't help but light up and felt that what they said was very reasonable.
It seems that this deal is really not a loss for everyone, if they can use Zhao Di's hand to break the blockade and suppression of the Zhao family against their Zhao children by the DPRK and China, this will definitely be a great thing for them.
After being suggested by Xu Dian, the last one nodded in agreement.
Xu Dian continued: "In addition to being crowned king, I think King Di may also ask us to help him take the position of Tianwei City Lord. β
Hiss......
A sound of inhalation sounded, you must know that Tianwei City is one of the sub-cities of Bianjing City, and being able to become the city lord of a sub-city is equivalent to controlling a sub-city, which can directly threaten the safety of Bianjing City, and controlling a sub-city is equivalent to controlling a lifeblood of Bianjing City.
If it can really succeed, then Zhao Di will really have to occupy a place in the court.
It's no wonder that these guys are full of shock, you must know that none of them covets the position of the city lord, if they can get the position of a city lord, who of these bigwigs in the court would dare to be arrogant in front of them.
In fact, why did Xu Dian and Peng Huaicai's two staff members rush to urge Zhao Zhen to form an alliance with Zhao Di, they just took a fancy to the city lord of Tianwei City who was destroyed by Zhao Di, and let them see the opportunity to control a vice city, whether this position is won by Zhao Di or Zhao Zhen, it will be a decisive turning point for the children of the Zhao family, and it will definitely greatly enhance the voice of the Zhao family in the court.
Helping Zhao Di in this critical period is the best expression, the icing on the cake is easy, it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow, and Zhao Di can remember your good at this time.
Hearing the position of the city lord of Tianwei City, this guy suddenly seemed to be beaten one by one, and said, "We should also fight for this position!" Obviously, they all want to take this benefit in their hands.
Of course, Xu Dian knew the temptation of the city lord of Weicheng on this day, the reason why he threw this was to deter these guys and let them understand how important it was to cooperate with Zhao Di, of course, this was just a bait that was out of their reach, he shook his head slightly and said: " King Di is not a fool, how can he give up such an important position, and we have no bargaining chips to trade with, and if this position is for our people to sit down, it may not be able to sit firmly, only a strong person like King Di can suppress all parties in the court and China, so that they dare not act rashly. However, if there is such an opportunity in the future, I believe that the king of Dysprosium will definitely make concessions to us when he sees that we have made great efforts this time. β
Draw a big pie and hang these people first, so that these people will not drag their feet in this matter.
Sure enough, after Xu Dian said this, those guys suddenly perked up, yes, Zhao Di will definitely have to fight with the DPRK and China later, there must still be this kind of opportunity later, not this time, then the next opportunity must belong to their side.
At this point, these guys were completely led by Xu Dian's nose.
The next day, Xu Dian left from King An's Mansion with a team of people and went straight to Tianwei City's Diwang Mansion, and the actions of this team naturally couldn't escape the eyes and ears of Wen Yanbo and other bigwigs, and Xu Dian didn't hide it, and passed over with a large number of gifts in an open manner.
Zhao Di was a little surprised that Xu Dian came to the door, but he was not too enthusiastic, and after receiving the post, he directly asked Guo Xiaosi to bring people into the house, and he met Xu Dian in the study.
After meeting, Zhao Di said directly to the point: "Why did Uncle An send you over to see this king?" In Zhao Di's search for his memory, he had almost no impression of this King An, but there was such an uncle in his impression, when his grandfather was in power, this uncle of the other branch seemed to be too mediocre, so he did not participate in the national war against Qin, and was very lucky to leave a life, and then was pushed out by Zhao Di as a role model for the clan over the years.
All the impressions stop there, and there is no way to know anything else, so I don't quite understand the purpose of the other party's sending.
Zhao Di is not the kind of person who likes to go around the bend, especially for such an insignificant role, and he will not have the patience to deal with it.
Although Xu Dian met Zhao Di for the first time, he had a bit of the skill of observing people, and when he saw Zhao Di asking directly, he did not hide it, and directly bowed his hand and said respectfully: "My prince sent Dian to pay his respects in the hope of forming an alliance with King Di." β
