Chapter 4 The contempt of the wealthy(1/2)

"Liu Fu, take my king's handwriting and invite the wealthy families of Yan County."

Zhao Xu returned to the bedroom, and Feng'er and Luan'er brought pens, ink, paper and ink.

As the saying goes, you must first take it in advance.

At present, his fists are not as big as the Yan County richest man, so it is impossible to bear them.

After all, in such a chaotic place in frontiers, they have a hundred ways to die.

So on the surface, we still need to make a good relationship with them and numb them.

Of course, his most important purpose was to take out the wealth plundered by Yanjun from their pockets.

At the same time, this is also a kind of temptation. He wants to see how the different tyrants of Yan County are attitude towards him in order to win over and divide.

Although he was passionate, he was not reckless. As the great man said, he wanted to make more friends and deal with real enemies.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Liu Fu was waiting by the side.

After Zhao Xu finished writing the characters, Feng'er went to the front yard to take the seal of King Yan, which had been occupied by Zhang Han, and put it on the handwriting.

After taking the hand order, Liu Fu turned around and wanted to leave.

At this time, a sudden sound of fighting came from outside the palace.

Zhao Xu felt nervous. As soon as Zhang Han was imprisoned, someone came to the door. It must be because someone in the mansion colluded with inside and outside, and spread the news.

I want to take control of him while he is not yet firm in his foothold.

After all, everyone knows that he is a crazy king. As long as he is imprisoned again, even if he is not crazy, he can continue to claim that he is crazy.

"Your Highness..."

Luan'er was timid and instinctively afraid when encountering such a thing. Her hand couldn't help but put on Zhao Xu's arm, while Feng'er pinched her waist and her eyebrows were raised.

"You stay here, I will come when I go." Zhao Xu was angry.

He was stepping on his foot and his beauties around him were his.

Since he came to this world, he must protect all this!

Clench your fists.

He ordered Liu Fu and more than ten servants to take swords and go out with him.

He had no way out to retreat, so he could only move forward bravely.

Come to the main entrance of the palace.

At this time, a group of black-clothed servants were fighting with swords and guards in the palace. More than ten black-clothed servants and some guards were lying on the ground.

"Whose slaves are you? You are so brave, you dare to trek into the palace." A tall general wearing brown armor shouted.

"We came in the name of King Zhang and Fu. Someone in the mansion assassinated King Yan. We come to rescue him. If you know the truth, you will be punished for your rebellion." The leader shouted.

"Don't you, I'm guarding the royal palace, why didn't you know that this is happening!" The general cursed, "I think you want to rebel!"

"They just want to rebel! Zhang Han plotted against rebellion and was taken down by me. If you don't retreat, you should be executed by the offender!" Zhao Xu stood up.

"King of Yan!"

When the general turned around and saw that it was Zhao Xu, he was shocked, and the servants were stunned at the same time.

"Walk!"

King Yan appeared, their plan was exposed, and the black-clothed servants immediately retreated.

The guards were about to chase after them, but they were stopped by the generals.

There were not many guards on duty in front of the royal palace, and more than ten people were injured. When they went to chase him, they were afraid that they would be trapped in the trap of luring the tiger away from the mountain.

"Chang Wei."

Zhao Xu found this person's information in his memory.

This person was the commander of the guards chosen by Emperor Zhao Heng in the Imperial Guards, responsible for the control of the 100 guards of the royal palace.

When Feng'er was bullied by Zhang Han, he threatened him with a long threat, which shows that this person and Zhang Han were not on the same side, which made him a little lucky.

It was precisely because he figured out this that he decided to act boldly.

"The last general Chang Wei, please see Your Highness." At this time, the general came to Zhao Xu and clasped his fists heavily.

The armor made a metallic attack sound.

"No gift."

Zhao Xu's eyes were still on the runaway servants.

At first glance, these people were servants and servants raised by wealthy families.

He could not imagine that the wealthy families in Yan County were so arrogant that they dared to collude with the prince Fu of the royal palace to deal with him.

"I just heard that Your Highness's madness has been cured, and now it seems to be true." After Chang Wei saluted, he looked up and down at Fan Zhao Xu, and his words were faint.

According to regulations, the guards are not allowed to enter the palace without orders.

So he could not enter the palace to congratulate him.

"That's true." Zhao Xu frowned.

The guard commander had a very cold expression, not as happy as Feng'er and Luan'er.

However, he had no intersection with the guard commander from the capital to Yan County.

Everything is communicated with Zhang Han.

"Congratulations to Your Highness, Your Highness is a happy event, and it is even better for such a treacherous villain Zhang Han to be taken down. Since that's the case, can Your Highness reimburse us for three months' salary?" Chang Wei clasped his fists, "At present, the soldiers are too hungry to take up their swords, otherwise how could these thieves hurt them."

This shouldn't be mentioned at this time, but he couldn't help it.

Whether Zhao Xu was crazy or not was irrelevant to him. He just didn't want to see his brothers protecting the Yan Prince's Mansion on hungry days.

His temperament has always been like this, straight and explosive, and he has never been liked by his superiors in the Imperial Guards.

That's why he was plotted and recommended to the emperor and sent to the King of Yan.

It was not what he wanted to come to Yan County.

But since he came, he could only accept his fate, thinking about fighting against Beidi and showing his men's ambitions.

What he didn't expect was that after arriving at the fiefdom, he and his guards did not have a penny salary for three consecutive months.

They all came here with their families.

Now, everyone at home is in trouble.

In the past, when he asked Zhang Han about his salary, Zhang Han would control him inside and outside, and let him bow to him.

He naturally refused, and since then, Zhang Han kept ruling.

Now that he saw Zhao Xu and the guards were injured, he couldn't help but feel angry.

"Salary?"

Zhao Xu remembered that there was no record of paying salaries to these guards in the account book in the past three months.

The money seemed to be swallowed by Zhang Han.

"To be honest, your salary has been greedy for Zhang Han, and there is no money in the royal palace account." Zhao Xu sighed.

When Chang Wei and his guards heard this, they were immediately like cats with their tails stepped on.

They were already angry because they were owed money.

Now, in order to protect the royal palace, the King of Yan said that the royal palace had no money, which completely made them feel cold.

"We will protect Your Highness with our lives. Your Highness is really a rooster."

"No money? Lie!"

"It's better not to do this job."

“…”

The guards were excited, and Chang Wei became even more angry.

He heard from the imperial guards that the lieutenant generals, the nobles, were corrupt and fraud, and deducted the military pay of soldiers.

I have long lost my favor for the powerful people in Dasong.

Instinctively, Zhao Xu and them were no different, but just wanted to withhold their military pay, so he sternly said:

"Don't joke, your highness, the royal family business is so big that we can't even pay our salary. Is your highness the same as Zhang Han, just unable to bear the money?"

Zhao Xu said insincerely that it was broken.

As the saying goes, it is said that eating food and arrears of military pay lead to mutiny in history.

If the guards rebelled, he would lose his only power.

So, he must hold the guards at the moment.
