Chapter 40: Lack of Greed, Kill!
Regarding Xiao Huan's introduction, Zhao Mingyuan just said that he admired him for a long time and said a bunch of diplomatic rhetoric.
The reason why Zhao Mingyuan didn't turn his face immediately was to see what else interesting things would happen in this Great Liang Empire.
After introducing them one by one, Xiao Huan asked tentatively: "I don't know if Zhao Gongzi has come to Baling thousands of miles away, but what is the important matter?" ”
Without waiting for Zhao Mingyuan to answer, someone spoke: "Xianggui's father and son have made great contributions to my Liang, and Your Majesty also posthumously crowned Xianggui as the head of the household."
But Zhao Gongzi killed Xianggui's father and son in Pengcheng, which is a big crime.
Could it be that Zhao Gongzi is here to plead guilty for this matter? ”
Zhao Mingyuan said with a smile: "Yes, my visit is indeed related to the matter of Xianggui's father and son. ”
Before Zhao Mingyuan could continue, he was interrupted again.
I saw that someone stood up and said, "This matter can't be so simple.
The Xiang family has made great contributions to my beam, and everyone knows that His Majesty values them very much.
Zhao Gongzi killed Xianggui's father and son, which greatly damaged my Liang's face.
The friendship between our two sides has been overshadowed.
However, since Zhao Gongzi is so sincere and came here alone to ask for guilt, this matter is not negotiable. ”
When Zhao Mingyuan heard this, he understood it.
This is to benefit from it!
Sure enough, how could they come and get along with themselves for the sake of the dead Xianggui father and son. The reason why I am embarrassed with myself is just to get enough benefits in the negotiations.
Obviously, these people have a tacit understanding for a long time. Therefore, he dared to embarrass himself in front of Xiao Miao.
Zhao Mingyuan asked with interest: "I don't know what Zhao can do to make up for the friendship between us?" ”
The ministers of Liang Guo looked at each other and smiled, this is the right way.
Immediately, someone spoke: "Xianggui father and son are quite talented in terms of money and food, and they were originally the household books ordered by His Majesty. Now he has been killed by Zhao Gongzi, which has caused my Liang to lack food and grass, and the sergeants have no food. This is all Zhao Gongzi's fault! ”
It's so ridiculous.
However, Xianggui's father and son are in charge of the Qinglou and casino of the Baling Gang, which is indeed a major source of income for Xiao Miao.
Especially Xianggui, he is recognized as one of the two gambling gods in the world, and with this name alone, the casinos under his control are making money every day.
Therefore, this statement is not completely disregarded from the facts.
Seeing that Zhao Mingyuan did not refute, it seemed that he acquiesced in the matter.
Soon this person continued: "Therefore, Zhao Gongzi must compensate my Liang to make up for the mistakes made by Zhao Gongzi.
Of course, Your Majesty is merciful. Our requirements will never be excessive, it must be something that Zhao Gongzi can do.
Because of the murder of the Xiang family's father and son, our army is short of food and grass, and Zhao Gongzi happened to have just captured Luokoucang, so naturally there was no shortage of food and grass.
As long as Zhao Gongzi only needs to compensate me for some grain and grass. ”
Zhao Mingyuan pretended to hesitate and said, "It's not impossible. It's just that this amount still needs to be considered. ”
Immediately, someone retorted: "Zhao Gongzi, Ming people don't say secret words.
After capturing Luokoucang, Wagangzhai definitely did not lack food.
Even the grain in Wagangzhai was so much that it was impossible to eat at all, and even opened a warehouse to release grain and distributed it to the people nearby.
The grain of the white flowers was distributed to the poor in vain.
What a wickedness! ”
It seems that the officials of this big beam have a lot of grievances about this matter. Listening to his tone, it seemed that it was better to give food to the common people than to give it to them.
Thinking of this, Zhao Mingyuan couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, I remember you, and I will look good with you in a while. Wait a minute and see who else jumps out.
After all, these things are known to the world, and the information of the Baling Gang naturally knows it clearly, and Zhao Mingyuan can't refute it.
So, he said: "It is precisely because the grain has been opened and put in the warehouse, and the grain has already been distributed to the people, so there is not much grain left in our Wagang Village, but I am afraid that the strength is limited." ”
At this time, someone spoke: "Zhao Gongzi, don't worry, you only need to give 1 million stone grain and grass." ”
"What, how much do you say?" Zhao Mingyuan was shocked.
"1,000,000 stones." The man was ashamed to repeat it again. So, Zhao Mingyuan added another person to his small notebook.
1,000,000 stone is not a small amount, this is enough food for an army of 100,000 for a year.
They don't take themselves seriously, do they?
Just Xianggui father and son, why exchange 1 million stone grain and grass?
You must know that Yang Guanggang died, and this is the time when the world is in chaos and the heroes are competing for the deer. Nowadays, a small amount of grain is enough, but the army needs a large amount of grain and grass, which money cannot buy.
They actually wanted to get 1 million stone grain and grass for nothing.
It's crazy about money, right?
Or do you think you're too good at talking, so you can talk about it.
Seeing Zhao Mingyuan's appearance, everyone also understood in their hearts that this number was too exaggerated, and it was impossible for Zhao Mingyuan to agree.
However, the sky-high asking price, the landing to pay back.
It's all negotiable.
Soon, another official stood up and said, "Zhao Gongzi, please rest assured, my Liang will naturally not take these grains in vain." Zhao Gongzi might as well listen to the conditions of my big beam. ”
It turned out to be a deal, so you can listen to it. Although no matter what you say, I will not agree.
I saw this person stand up and say their quid pro quo: "Our Majesty can support Zhao Gongzi to become the lord of Wagangzhai, and even give Zhao Gongzi the title of prince." As a result, with righteousness in hand, Zhao Gongzi can naturally regain people's hearts. Isn't it beautiful? ”
When Zhao Mingyuan heard this, he didn't know whether to be angry or laugh for a while, but he felt that his heart was full of sadness.
Zhao Mingyuan was not angry that he was underestimated, nor was he angry because he was not greedy enough and wanted to exchange his 1 million stone grain and grass for just this worthless empty throne.
It was because he understood why this official would say this that he was angry.
Because, in their opinion, Xiao Mo is the queen of Xiao Yan, Emperor Xiao Wu of Southern Liang, with royal blood flowing in his body, noble and noble, and born noble.
Therefore, it is logical for Xiao Mo to establish himself as the emperor.
And Zhao Mingyuan, no matter how strong his strength is. In their opinion, they are just mud legs, and they have no interest.
When you hear the reward, don't you kneel down and thank God?
This is the king, this can be regarded as the green smoke of the ancestral tomb. Why don't you get down on your knees and be a dog?
"Hahahahaha......" Zhao Mingyuan looked up to the sky and laughed wildly.
It's really sad that the hierarchy has long seeped into every bit of this society.
Even if Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty died, the Sui Dynasty was dead. However, in the eyes of everyone, this is just a change of emperor, and nothing has changed.
After the world is calmed down, the people are still the people, the scholars are still the scholars, and the gate valve is naturally still the gate valve.
From time to time, there are a few people like Zhao Mingyuan, who can take advantage of the troubled times to cross classes, which is already considered lucky.
However, they will never succeed in unifying the world.
Seeing Zhao Mingyuan laughing out loud, someone even said: "Look at Zhao Gongzi is so happy." ”
"What Zhao Gongzi, you should call Zhao Wang."
"This title of King Zhao can't be lightly rewarded. In my opinion, it should be the king of Pingbei. ”
Someone actually discussed on the spot what kind of king title to give Zhao Mingyuan a reward.
Zhao Mingyuan listened to the argument in the court of Liang Guo, gradually quieted down, and stopped laughing. It's just that he still has a smile on his face, and he seems to be very happy.
But Xiao Miao, who was sitting on it, could see that Zhao Mingyuan's smile concealed murderous intent. After all, this kind of smile, he knows best.
I saw Xiao Mo wave his hand and stop everyone's argument, so as not to be laughed at by Zhao Mingyuan.
Xiao Mo spoke for the first time since he saw Zhao Mingyuan. His voice is gentle and magnetic, and he sounds extremely friendly.
But what he said shocked the ministers of the Great Liang Kingdom.
"Zhao Gongzi's trip seems to be not good. Do you think you can kill me alone? ”
Everyone was shocked.
How can it be?
Zhao Mingyuan came here alone, how could it be an assassination?
Moreover, there were three masters present: Xiao Miao, Zhang Xiu, the left marshal, and Dong Jingzhen, the right marshal. Most of the other ministers also have good martial arts, and there are hundreds of armor soldiers outside the main hall. There are even thousands of elite soldiers stationed in the palace, and they can seal this place impenetrable at any time.
How could Zhao Mingyuan do it? It's incredible.
Not to mention Zhao Mingyuan, a new grandmaster, even if he is an older generation master like the evil king Yin Hou, the top among the grandmasters, I am afraid that he may not be able to kill it.
In this case, the only one who can escape with his whole body is probably the Great Grandmaster, right?
It can't be that Zhao Mingyuan is the great grandmaster, right?
Everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, how is this possible?
Since this is the case, then Zhao Mingyuan came here in person. Even if he is indeed strong in martial arts and kills Xiao Mo by luck, he will die here.
What is he trying to do?
Obviously, Zhao Mingyuan has a lot of power in Wagangzhai, and in the future, he will become the lord of Wagang to dominate the world, compete in the Central Plains, and even dominate the world and mix in the universe, it may not be without a little hope.
Taking a step back, even if Zhao Mingyuan can't unify the world, but if he sells at a price and defects to a Ming master, then glory and wealth are within reach.
With such a great future, how could he be willing to die here?
Everyone couldn't figure it out.
Because of this, no one thought that Zhao Mingyuan would have the idea of assassination?
Could it be that we have just gone too far?
No, it doesn't feel like there's anything wrong with it.
Aren't we all telling the truth?
It's for his good.
Even if the price can't be negotiated, you can talk slowly, so why use the sword and sword?
Wrong!
All of this was said by His Majesty, and Zhao Mingyuan didn't seem to be abnormal.
Could it be said?
Your Majesty is looking for an excuse to kill Zhao Mingyuan in order to avenge Xianggui's father and son.
It seems that the status of Xianggui father and son in His Majesty's heart is not low!
Many people think so in their hearts.
Now that it has been seen, Zhao Mingyuan has no intention of denying it.
Let's start here!
Zhao Mingyuan drew his sword out of its sheath, several sword shadows flashed, and the few people who spoke just now were all in different places and fell in a pool of blood.
Kill!
Zhao Mingyuan pointed at the Great Liang Emperor Xiao Mo and killed forward.
