Wei and Jin Cooks

The subjects of Chengguo were all shocked. They never expected that their king would suddenly hand over the power of Chengguo. This and this...

 Those who don’t know are speechless for a while.

 At night, Zhao Hanzhang left the emperor and ministers of the Cheng Kingdom to camp in her camp. On the next day, Zhao Hanzhang followed Li Xiong to his camp and met with the people at the foot of Bashan Mountain.

Xun Fan and Fan Ying who came with them both advised: "Your Majesty, the son of a rich man cannot sit down in court. Although Li Xiong is sincere, those under him may not be sincere in their service. If something unexpected happens..."

Zhao Hanzhang said meaningfully: "I agree that a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall, but if a gentleman knows that the wall is falling, why can't he stand over it first and then get out of the way when it falls?"

Xun Fan frowned and said, "It's too dangerous, and it's not something a gentleman would do."

Zhao Hanzhang insisted: "I believe in Zeng Yue."

Xun Fan was a little depressed. This was not good for an emperor who was born in the war. He was too reckless.

 He reminded: "Your Majesty, the Crown Princess is not yet seven years old. The Lord is weak and the ministers are suspicious..."

Zhao Hanzhang chuckled and said: "Don't worry, Qing Xun, my sword is still sharp, and I will be in my prime when I become the king."

 After saying this, she led her subjects down to see the people of Bashu.

 Li Xiong announced in public that he would establish a state and cut down the vassal vassals, and asked Zhao Hanzhang to grant the Bashu state government again.

Zhao Hanzhang said: "Before the founding of the country, I was Liang Yi, and I will restore the establishment today. The king understands the righteousness, and all these things he did are for me and the people of Bashu. I think that the people of Bashu will always remember your kindness, and I am willing to be with you as the king. We will always be friends with Jinlan, and my brother will still be the king. I will be given the elixir book and iron coupons, and the fiefdom of Yizhou. It will be hereditary."

 This means that the title of the king will not be reduced with inheritance.

When Li Xiong heard this, he was deeply moved and quickly knelt down to thank him.

 Except for some ministers and generals who remained silent, most of the soldiers and civilians knelt down happily and cheered loudly.

Zhu Zhuan was the most excited person kneeling in the crowd. He was one of the landowners and gentry who provided money and food for Li Xiong's trip. He had long been dissatisfied with these generals of Chengguo.

There are no laws or rules. With the power and soldiers in hand, you can break into their homes and seize money and food at will.

The chaos in the execution once made him want to move his entire family away from Bashu. If it weren't for the difficulty of moving and the large size of his tribe, he would have left long ago.

Even when he was a foreigner in Yuzhou, the Zhao family was very willing to do business with him. Although there were deceptions and temptations, it was still a matter of business. Who would rob him head-on?

In recent years, due to the cooperation with the Zhao family in Liulifang and other businesses, the families in Shu have made more and more money, their influence has become greater and greater, and they have suffered more and more grievances. In the last accounting, it was found that the deposits were The money and food on hand did not increase much.

 Having been in trouble for a long time, after several years of hard work, the generals and ministers of Chengguo were all benefited.

 For this matter, Zhu Zhuan worked hard and twice invited people to speak to Li Xiong, but Li Xiong could not control those people at all.

 Finally, he changed his eyes and chose the crown prince Li Ban.

Li Ban enforced the law impartially and was very tough, but in doing so, he offended all the ministers and generals on behalf of Zhu Chuan.

 The lives of various families in Shu were even more difficult.

About the matter of cutting down the vassal vassal, the rumors reached Fan Changsheng’s ears through indirect speculation.

If there is one person in the world who can persuade Li Xiong, it must be Fan Changsheng.

It was also his good luck. Fan Changsheng ran out of oil and made plans for Li Xiong and Bashu when he was about to die. He made this clear, otherwise Zhu Zhuan would have really considered relocating his family.

Although he had some friendship with Zhao Hanzhang, leaving his homeland was unsettling and unhappy.

 Li Xiong also knew Zhu Chuan. He asked him to become an official several times, but Zhu Chuan did not agree. However, he was very generous and often donated money and materials to the Chengguo court, and even sponsored some major events. Li Xiong's sons are very luxurious, but Li Xiong himself lives very frugally, and the national treasury and internal treasury are not very wealthy, so he needs to find someone to sponsor him for traveling during the New Year.

 He thought of Zhu Zhuan at that time.

 I didn’t expect Zhu Zhuan to be so generous. He just mentioned it and he took out the money and food.

He is so good, so Li Xiong naturally wanted to recommend him to Zhao Hanzhang, "The little king heard that Zhu Langjun and His Majesty are old acquaintances. This smooth meeting with Your Majesty is thanks to Zhu Langjun's money and food."

Zhao Hanzhang looked at the Zhuanzhuan with a smile, nodded and said: "You gentlemen have the spirit of a chivalrous man. When I fight the war to defend my country, I also rely on him to support me with money and food."

However, he really doesn’t like being an official. Otherwise, if he is recruited into the household department, he should be able to help Zhao Ming.

His specific means of revitalizing the economy are comparable to those of Zhao Ming and Zhao Hu.

But now I think about it, it would be good to keep such talents among the people.

There are so many talented people in the world. It is already good if her court can get two or three points. If the rest can shine among the people, how can they not contribute to the people and the country?

 Zhao Hanzhang invited Zhu Chuan to attend the evening banquet.

 That's right, after the announcement, the monarch and his ministers had a big gathering tonight and decided not to return until they got drunk.

Li Xiong's eldest son Li Yue was very dissatisfied and couldn't help but find his younger brother Li Qi and general Li Huan. "My father is stupid. He just gave the throne to his cousin. Why did he actively ask for the reduction of the vassal? Once the imperial army is stationed, Can I still be a general?"

Li Yue is now guarding Jiangyang, and Li Qi is also a general. Although they don't want to admit it, they know it in their hearts.

Zhao Hanzhang used to only hire people based on their talents, but in recent years, the recruitment examination has gone beyond just meritocracy, but also requires talents, virtues and talents.

They brothers were walking sideways in Shu. They were naturally proud and wanton, but they also knew that if they were put outside, they would not be able to meet Zhao Hanzhang's employment standards, whether in terms of talent or morality.

 If you don’t rely on your own talents, you can only rely on grace.

 But their father gave Li Ban the position of Crown Prince again, leaving them no chance of competing.

Since Chengguo surrendered to the imperial court and asked Zhao Hanzhang to establish a heir apparent, they knew that even if they killed Li Ban after his father's death, it would be difficult to win the throne.

 Because it is illegal, the imperial court will definitely not agree to send troops to conquer the country, unless their talent and power reach the point where they can separate one side and compete with the imperial court for negotiation.

To be honest, Li Yue has always been dissatisfied, so he has been preparing for this.

 But this time, his father knelt down and blocked his way out.

 Destroying someone's future is like killing a parent. Even if that person is his biological father, he feels the same as killing him.

Li Yue said harshly: "The brave ones will be supported to death, and the timid ones will be starved to death. Wasn't Zhao Hanzhang just a county guard before? She is a female prostitute, and she should be the emperor. Why can't we?"

He lowered his voice and said: "This is Chengguo. Kill her, then attack Bashan and capture Hanzhong. Then we can point our sword at the Central Plains and the whole world is in our hands."

Li Qi was not stupid and said: "Brother, Zu Ti is the Minister of War. Zhao Yong, the king of Qin County, is in Yongzhou. Beigong Chun is in Bingzhou and can go south for emergency reinforcements. Which of these three can we defeat?"

"Then seize Hanzhong County. As long as we hold Hanzhong County, we can attack if we advance or defend if we retreat. Bashu has natural dangers, and they will definitely not be able to get in." Li Yue said cruelly: "At worst, we can hide in the mountains and fight with them. Ten years is better than living a useless life, right?"

 He said with a disgusted look on his face: "I don't want to see Li Ban living with an outsider in the future."

He hated Li Ban's sanctimonious face the most. Looking at it today, Zhao Hanzhang also looked like Li Ban. He spoke so nicely, but it was just to win people's hearts, so their father would believe it.

Good night
