"My lord, what's wrong with you?"
Hu San looked at his prince with a masked face.
Why did he just start swearing?
Especially when he scolds his own father...
The most important thing is that I am still their majesty today.
If word of this spreads, people will lose their heads...
Zhao Ding looked at Hu San sideways: "Do you think the pigeons we got are delicious?"
“How delicious (qi!)”
Hu San replied subconsciously.
"Then you all know that our pigeons are delicious, so how do you think my father knows?"
Zhao Ding rolled his eyes and continued to ask.
"Hmm~~~~~"
Hu San was at a loss for words, and then suddenly looked at Zhao Ding with a look of horror on his face: "Your Majesty, you said His Majesty doesn't know how to..."
Youzhou is far away from the hinterland of Daqian, and it is thousands of miles away from Yingtian, the capital of Daqian.
And now Zhao Chongyuan actually...
"Hehehe~~~"
Zhao Ding laughed loudly, rolled his eyes and was too lazy to pay attention to Hu San.
Hu San looked at Zhao Ding in horror, glanced around, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, do you think we should..."
Snap!
Before Hu San could finish speaking, Zhao Ding slapped Hu San on the head, knocking Hu San's hat off.
Glancing sideways at Hu San, Zhao Ding continued: "Rebel, you want to die. How many heads do you think you have enough to chop off?"
Hu San has followed him, Zhao Ding, for so many years.
Even without taking off his pants, Zhao Ding knew what Hu San was going to do.
"Hehehe~~~"
Hu Santan laughed and looked at Zhao Ding with some embarrassment.
It's not that he is timid, but the things his prince has done over the years are indeed a bit excessive.
Just rely on the one of deceiving the emperor.
It's enough to make your prince lose his head.
Zhao Ding naturally knew what Hu San was thinking, but what could he, Zhao Ding, do.
If he, a lonely and helpless prince, didn't acquire some property to protect himself, could he wait for death?
This is a feudal society, or an era similar to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when heroes coexisted.
When his father, Zhao Chongyuan, was around, he might be fine, but when his father, Zhao Chongyuan, passed away, it was estimated that he, Zhao Ding, would not be far behind.
In this case, how could he not hide his secret?
As the old saying goes, it is better to have a father and a mother than to have one yourself!
It is safest to hold the barrel of the gun in your own hands.
"bring here."
After thinking for a long time, Zhao Ding raised his head and looked at Hu San again.
Hu San subconsciously handed the edict in his hand to Zhao Ding.
Zhao Ding opened the edict and took a look.
I also have a rough idea in my mind.
His father is beating him.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ding rolled his eyes.
Except for Sun Bing, the head of the household department, no one had contact with him in Youzhou.
Now his father is beating him up about the pigeon matter. It is estimated that Sun Bing was arrested for something, and then the matter between Zhao Ding and Sun Bing will naturally...
Uh~~~
Bleeding is about to happen again.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ding looked at Hu San and ordered: "Starting from tomorrow, taxes will be paid in full."
"ah?"
Upon hearing this, Hu San immediately shouted and looked at Zhao Ding with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, don't we have to spend a lot of money again?"
Zhao Ding kicked Hu San angrily: "Do you think your head or your money is more important?"
"Head!"
Hu San replied subconsciously.
"Then how do you think we in Youzhou make money?"
Zhao Ding rolled his eyes and continued.
"Of course it's the stuff you made, Your Majesty."
Hu San replied without thinking.
"Then what kind of taxes will our cadres charge?"
Zhao Ding asked again.
"Of course it's the agricultural tax."
Hu San replied without thinking, but soon he smiled in surprise: "Your Majesty, in fact, we in Youzhou don't have to pay much tax."
Ha~~~
Zhao Ding snorted and didn't bother to talk to Hu San.
It's a shame that Hu San followed him for so long.
"Then Prince, what should we do next?"
After a while, Hu San asked again.
In this edict, Zhao Chongyuan only mentioned the matter of pigeons, but the most important thing was to let Zhao Ding control the Tianjia Army and Luoshui Army in order to deter Nanchen and Beiliang.
"Let the Tianjia Army and Luoshui Army prepare for war first. There is no need to go to Youzhou for the time being."
After Zhao Ding thought for a long time, he said, but as soon as he said this, Zhao Ding looked at Hu San suspiciously: "In addition to asking the Tianjia Army and Luoshui Army to control me, have I ever done anything alone? May I tell you where the food and grass will be supplied from?"
"Hmm~~~"
Hu San smacked his lips, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "It seems not."
Zhao Ding: "..."
After a long while, Zhao Ding rolled his eyes and cursed with a resentful look on his face: "You really don't blame me for cheating on me, it's because he is disrespectful! How could he, as a vassal, pay for the food and fodder for an army of 300,000 people?" How dare you not mention food and grass at all???"
Hu San stood aside and smiled.
He didn't dare to accept this at all...
However, my prince and his majesty are not wrong. They really don't belong to the same family.
My son cheated me, I cheated my son...
"By the way, how was the interrogation of the Nanchen scouts that Niu Budou captured from outside a few days ago? Did you find anything?"
Zhao Ding raised his head and looked at Hu San and asked.
Hu San replied with a grimace: "That's not true. Those people came here to explore the way."
"Hey, okay."
Zhao Ding sighed.
It's really not easy to meet a gentle and stupid young man again.
But watching Hu San leave, Zhao Ding still told him: "Recently, people have been asking more about Nanchen's affairs. If there is any situation, report immediately. In addition, Luoshui Army and Tianjia Army have been ordered to prepare for war. Make the noise louder, the bigger the better, I will pay for all the food and grass expenses, Your Majesty!"
As soon as he mentioned the words "I will go out", the look on Zhao Ding's face became even more resentful.
All it takes is one more quintessence of Chinese culture!
…
Two days later.
The imperial capital of Daqian is Yingtian, the imperial palace.
Wang Lishi rushed into the Yangxin Hall in a hurry.
Seeing Zhao Chongyuan lying alone on the dragon bed and humming a tune, Wang Lishi said with a flattering look on his face: "Your Majesty, I am so happy. There is news from Nanchen. Duke Wen Ziheng of Qi in Nanchen was attacked. I don't know whether he is alive or dead. Princess. Yuan Qing was detained in the Duke's Mansion of Qi."
After speaking, Wang Lishi said with a flattering expression: "Your Majesty, that Yuan Jia can't wait to take action."
"He just can't wait."
Zhao Chongyuan sneered when he heard this: he then waved his sleeves and stood up from the dragon couch, looked at Wang Lishi and ordered in a cold voice: "Since Yuan Jia has taken action, there is no need to keep those aristocratic families who are connected with Nanchen. Now is the time to clean up the few aristocratic families who secretly have dealings with Beiliang, confiscate all family properties, and enrich the national treasury!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Wang Lishi was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly turned around and walked outside.
He knew very well how long Zhao Chongyuan had wanted to touch these aristocratic families.
But he didn't take two steps.
Zhao Chongyuan shouted again: "By the way, what happened to this pigeon recently?"
