All the big and small things that happened during the trade conference were reported back to the capital, much to the shock of the ministers of the DPRK and China.

For Zhao Yao, His Royal Highness the King of Han, most of the ministers in the court look down on him, even though the King of Han has done a lot of things to benefit the country and society over the years.

In the past ten years, the ministers of the court and the central government have not been unaware of Zhao Yao's talent, but they have turned a blind eye. Obviously, what Zhao Yao made was beneficial to the country and the people, but the ministers felt that it was useless.

In fact, the ministers didn't really think that the things made by His Royal Highness King Han were useless, but that the things he made were useless to them. To be precise, it is not pleasing to them.

Zhao Yao's background is indeed poor among all the princes, but it is not the worst, because His Royal Highness King Wei's background is the worst.

Although His Royal Highness King Wei occupied the light of the abolished prince and was supported by the old ministry of the abolished prince, when the abolished prince was still the prince of the scenery, many ministers secretly supported him.

For the ministers, the origin of the prince was not so important. Even if the status of the prince's biological mother is low, the prince's status is noble and qualified to compete for the throne. If the ministers support the prince, they will have the opportunity to get the merit of the dragon.

Compared with the prince whose maternal status is respected, the prince with weak maternal power is easier to control. The prince with a strong maternal clan does not need the support of other ministers, and as long as he has the support of his maternal clan, he has a high probability of sitting in that position. And the prince, who has a weak maternal power, needs the support of the ministers the most. He could only rely on the ministers to get to that seat.

The old ministry of the abolished prince now supports His Royal Highness King Wei, not just because His Royal Highness the King of Wei was the person who abolished the prince before, but mainly because His Royal Highness the King of Wei does not have the support of his mother's family.

Over the years, King Wei has disguised himself very well, making the old department of the abolished prince think that he has to be them, making them feel that he is easy to control. Because of this, the old department of the abolished prince did their best to help King Wei.

With the ability of King Wei, he doesn't really need the support of the old ministry of the abolished prince, but he clearly needs the support of the old ministry of the abolished prince. Because of this, he can participate in the succession "justifiably".

The weakness of the mother clan is a reason for the ministers' support, but if the prince does not curry favor with the ministers, the ministers will not take the initiative to support him. There are so many princes, why should the ministers support a prince who does not buy them off.

The ministers took a big risk by standing in line in advance to support the prince. They can't support it without any benefit.

While the emperor was still alive, the ministers supported the prince in his struggle for the throne for the sake of profit. Although the King of Wei was the worst of all the princes, he gave many benefits to the ministers who supported him.

Although His Royal Highness King Wei is not from a good background, he is not short of money. The people of the Southern Wei Dynasty were very good at making money and gave the King of Wei a steady stream of money. The king of Wei used this money to bribe his ministers.

The benefits that ministers want are nothing more than money and power. Although the king of Wei could not give the ministers the monstrous rights they wanted for the time being, he could give them the money they wanted.

The officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty did not have a lot of money, but they were not very high. Only the three princes and nine kings have a high salary, and the rest of the people can only support themselves and their families, but it is impossible to get rich.

No one is afraid of having a lot of money, and the officials are not satisfied with their money, and they want more money. Over the years, the ministers who supported the King of Wei received a lot of money from the King of Wei, and their lives became better.

Now that they have money, they will be able to get power when King Wei sits on the throne in the future. By that time, they would have the money and the power.

As for His Royal Highness the King of Han, his background is obviously better than that of King Wei, and his money is not less than that of King Wei, but he is not willing to spend money to curry favor with them.

Although the mother family of His Royal Highness the King of Han is weak, the Liang family is a wealthy merchant in Yangzhou and has a lot of money. In addition, His Royal Highness the King of Han himself will make money, but he never gives gifts or invites ministers to dinner.

There are many ministers in the court who want to support Zhao Yao, especially after seeing that he went to Lingnan and made a lot of money by making glass, they want to support him even more. They secretly courted His Royal Highness the King of Han, but His Royal Highness the King of Han didn't know what to do. Since His Royal Highness the King of Han disdains their support, that

They also don't put a hot face on a cold butt.

There were also some ministers waiting for Zhao Yao to take the initiative to entrap them, but His Royal Highness the King of Han did nothing. Seeing that His Royal Highness the King of Han was so ignorant, the ministers in the court naturally disliked him even more.

In the hearts of the ministers, Zhao Yao, His Royal Highness the King of Han, is an extremely stupid person and hopeless.

Last year, many ministers in the DPRK gloated about Zhao Yao's "demoted" to Lingnan by the emperor, thinking that he deserved it. In addition to gloating, the ministers also thought that Zhao Yao was not famous in Lingnan and waited to see his good show.

When Zhao Yao wanted to hold a trade conference in Marsh Mansion before, many ministers in the court were against it, and said that the king of Han was unkind in holding a trade conference, and some people even said that he would collude with foreigners. However, the emperor did not pay attention to them.

When the trade conference was held, the ministers of the court and China continued to give him eye medicine in front of the emperor. The emperor didn't know their careful thoughts, and directly ignored them.

After the end of the trade conference and learning that Zhao Yao had made a lot of money, the ministers of the DPRK and China were not only surprised, but also jealous. They didn't expect His Royal Highness the King of Han to hold a successful trade conference.

Last year, when Zhao Yao was going to hold a trade conference, many people in the DPRK and China thought that he would not succeed, and even thought that he was coming from Hulai. Unexpectedly, Zhao Yao not only held it successfully, but also earned more money than the national treasury in a year's taxes.

The ministers were reluctant to believe that this was true, but it was so that they had to accept it. Through this trade conference, the ministers of the court and China found that His Royal Highness the King of Han was even more capable than they had imagined, especially the ability to make money.

The trade conference shocked the ministers of the court and China at Zhao Yao's ability to make money, and the military parade shocked them with the ability of His Royal Highness the King of Han to train soldiers.

Zhao Yao's military parade shocked foreign countries, which the ministers of the DPRK and China did not expect. However, what they didn't expect was the ambition of His Royal Highness King Han.

In the eyes of many officials in the DPRK and China, the main purpose of Zhao Yao's military parade was not to intimidate foreign countries, but to make foreign countries submit to him. In their view, the main purpose of His Royal Highness the Han Dynasty to hold a trade conference was not to make money, but to buy off foreign countries near Lingnan.

Now it seems that His Royal Highness the King of Han went to Lingnan to fight this idea.

Yang Ling also thought so, but King Chu didn't think so.

"The tenth brother did not go to Lingnan to buy foreign countries such as Annam and Johor." The king of Chu believed Zhao Yao, "He went to Lingnan to avoid the rights and wrongs of the capital."

"Your Highness, the purpose of His Royal Highness the King of Han to hold a trade conference is really just to make money?"

The king of Chu nodded affirmatively: "It's really just to make money, to make money from foreign countries."

Yang Ling listened, but kept shaking his head: "I don't think so, I think His Royal Highness the King of Han is here to buy those foreign countries."

"Sir, do you think that the tenth brother deliberately went to Lingnan in order to win over those foreign countries, and specially held a trade conference?"

Yang Ling nodded, "That's right."

The king of Chu asked again, "Sir, what do you think is the use of the tenth brother buying those foreign countries? What can they do to help the tenth brother?"

Yang Ling looked directly at the King of Chu and said, "They can help His Royal Highness the King of Han raise private soldiers and forge weapons."

The King of Chu was just about to open his mouth to refute, but was interrupted by Yang Ling: "Your Highness, Lingnan is far away from the capital, and foreign countries such as Annam and Johor are near Lingnan, if His Royal Highness the King of Han raises private soldiers in these foreign countries, do you think the imperial court will find out?"

"Ten brothers won't do that." The King of Chu said categorically, "The tenth brother will not rebel."

"Your Highness, when you are both defeated in the capital, His Royal Highness the King of Han will raise troops into the capital, and we will not be able to resist at that time." Yang Ling felt that Zhao Yao was playing with this idea, "When that time comes, King Han will be able to seize that position without much effort."
