Chapter Thirty-Eight: Seeing the Sheep

As soon as the three of them stepped into the western courtyard, the envoys sent by Zhao Ning, the uncle of Emperor Zhao, had been guarding the hall early, waiting for Chu Mo to arrive, and it seemed that they had received the news early in the morning.

It is not difficult to understand that the two courtyards of this post house are not far apart, and besides, they are competitors between them, so they must have secretly bought eyeliner and stared at each other's every move.

Chu Mo had been arguing with the envoy sent by the new emperor Zhao Zheng for so long in the Eastern Courtyard, and it would be really strange if he hadn't received the news here.

Several envoys stood in a row, saw Chu Mo coming over, and hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Chu State!"

"You don't have to be polite. Chu Mo waved his hand, pointed to the hall and said, "If you have anything to say, let's go in and talk!"

"Yes, Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince, please!"

Several envoys nodded with a smile, and hugged Chu Mo into the hall, and each sat down.

Seeing that everyone was sitting down, Chu Mo didn't have time to go around in circles with them, so he went straight to the point: "Presumably, what Gu said on the other side just now, you should have heard some news, right?

Upon hearing this, several messengers glanced at each other, and for a moment they looked at each other.

Among them, the envoy who seemed to be the leader got up and said to Chu Mo: "His Royal Highness the Prince, we already know the current predicament of the Chu State. Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince promised to provide ordnance assistance to the new Emperor Zhao Zheng, then Zhao Ning, the uncle of Emperor Zhao, also asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to provide the same ordnance assistance. ”

Chu Mo smiled faintly, and the other party's answer was completely unexpected.

"I want to correct you, this is not assistance, but sales, Chu State, indeed sold the ordnance to Zhao Zheng, the new emperor of Zhao State!"

Chu Mo didn't hide it, he simply came up with a plan.

Since both sides have said it, let's open the skylight and say something.

The messenger hurriedly nodded: "Since it is for sale, then please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to sell some of the ordnance to our imperial uncle, and let me wait until I can go back to pay the errand." ”

However, under his expectant gaze, Chu Mo suddenly shook his head and sighed: "Messenger, although I really want to help you, I'm afraid this matter won't work!"

The envoy immediately became anxious: "Why not? I, Emperor Uncle Zhao, am also willing to pay the same price to buy ordnance from Chu State." What's the matter, if the ordnance can be sold to the new emperor Zhao Zheng, it can't be sold to my uncle Zhao Guohuang?"

Chu Mo's face remained unchanged, and he spread his hands lightly: "In the final analysis, the imperial uncle Zhao Ning can be regarded as a usurper and seize power, and the new emperor Zhao Zheng is orthodox." Therefore, on the face of our Chu Guoming, we still chose to support the new emperor Zhao Zheng, and this ordnance was sold to the new emperor of Zhao Guo, so naturally it can no longer be sold to you Uncle Zhao Guohuang. ”

As soon as these words came out, these envoys sent by the emperor's uncle Zhao Ning changed their faces one after another.

Especially the envoy who spoke just now was still full of smiles, but as soon as he heard Chu Mo's words, he immediately pulled his face down, and his tone became gloomy: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, with all due respect, between the new Emperor Zhao Zheng and the Imperial Uncle Zhao Ning, do you Chu really want to choose to support the new Emperor Zhao Zheng?"

Chu Mo looked indifferent, and was about to speak, when the man continued: "Prince of Chu State, you have to think about it. If this time, your Chu State chooses to support the new emperor Zhao Zheng, and when our imperial uncle controls the power of Zhao State in the future, then don't blame our Zhao State for not thinking about the friendship between the two countries. ”

Listening to his threatening voice, Chu Mo smiled, and his face remained unfazed.

"Don't worry, messenger! Lone hasn't finished his sentence yet.

"Zhao Zheng is the new emperor of Zhao State, and it is natural for our Chu State to support the new emperor Zhao Zheng, otherwise it will not be reasonable. But our Chu State is not a fool, we naturally know that the imperial uncle Zhao Ning's talent for governing the country is far above Zhao Zheng's yellow-haired child, so with affection, our Chu State is more inclined to the imperial uncle Zhao Ning to be the emperor of Zhao State. ”

As he spoke, Chu Mo smiled mysteriously, put his head to his ear, and lowered his voice.

Therefore, although Chu Guoming supported the new emperor Zhao Zheng on the surface, he was willing to sell his ordnance to Zhao Zheng. But behind the scenes, our Chu State is also willing to sell twice the ordnance privately to the emperor's uncle Zhao Ning through a transaction, so can the envoy be satisfied with this arrangement?"

"Twice as much ordnance as the ordnance sold to the new emperor Zhao Zheng? Is what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said true?" The envoy was startled and looked at Chu Mo with a suspicious expression.

Chu Mo nodded calmly: "Gu is the dignified prince of Chu State, naturally it is difficult to chase after him, if your imperial uncle refuses to ask for this batch of weapons, then Gu has no choice but to sell them all to Zhao Zheng's kid." ”

As soon as he heard this, the messenger hurriedly stopped: "Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince, we are willing to ask for this batch of ordnance." ”

No way, he can't do it.

Otherwise, Uncle Huang will be in trouble.

Chu Mo was proud in his heart, nodded with a slight smile on the surface, then got up directly, walked towards the outside of the hall, and said, "That's fine, as for the details of the transaction, Lone will send someone to discuss with you in detail in the future." ”

"His Royal Highness Prince Lao. ”

The messenger breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly got up to see him off.

"Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Prince, thank you His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for your great help, he will succeed to the throne smoothly in the future, we will definitely express to the Emperor Uncle Chu Guo's help to the Imperial Uncle, and I will not forget today's grace!"

"Let's talk about it!"

Chu Mo waved his hand lightly, but in his heart, he almost smiled.

The thing that embarrassed the entire court fell on his head, didn't he just say a few words?

When the time comes, isn't the money rolling in?

Coming out of the west courtyard, Chu Mo did not go to the east courtyard again, but walked directly towards the gate of the post house.

Yicheng Fang Dou had been following behind Chu Mo, and seeing that he was leaving, he cautiously asked Chu Mo: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, do you really plan to support your imperial uncle Zhao Ning to become the emperor of Zhao State?"

In fact, it is not difficult to guess that Chu Moming sold a batch of ordnance to the new emperor Zhao Zheng to show Chu State's support for the new emperor Zhao Zheng.

But behind the scenes, he sold twice as much ordnance to his imperial uncle Zhao Ning.

This is clearly the yang and the yin, on the surface, he supports the new emperor Zhao Zheng, but the person who really supports it is the emperor's uncle Zhao Ning.

With twice as many weapons, coupled with the current situation in Zhao State, it is obvious that the imperial uncle Zhao Ning has the advantage.

Even, this batch of ordnance is enough to make the situation of Zhao completely a foregone conclusion.

This is also why, Fang Dou would ask Chu Mo this question.

However, Chu Mo suddenly turned his head, glared at him, and said coldly: "Fang Yicheng, I see that you are also a smart person, you should know some things, but it is better not to know." ”

Fang Dou's face changed, and he hurriedly nodded and responded: "Yes, yes, Weichen has trespassed, and I ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for forgiveness." ”

Chu Mo turned his head, still expressionless: "Do what you have to do, don't worry about other idle things, sooner or later, there will be a place for you to be reused." ”

Hearing him say this, Fang Dou was stunned for a moment, and he was directly dumbfounded.
