The surroundings were silent, and a layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out behind Xiao Ming.

At this time, his light swept towards the door on the inside of the Yu Study room, which was connected to the outside.

If he doesn't sign at this time, he seriously suspects that soldiers will rush out and kill him on the spot. After all, this scene has been staged more than once in history.

In order to ensure the throne of the eldest son, the emperor forced the strong prince to vow not to rebel, but Xiao Ming did not expect that he would encounter such a thing, and he also had to sign this letter of vote.

However, this shows how doting Xiao Wenxuan is to the prince.

"Son-me-me-sin!" Xiao Ming said with almost no hesitation.

Xiao Wenxuan looked at Xiao Ming with satisfaction and said, "Ming'er, you are the person who has answered the most solemn answer so far. My father read it right this time. It seems that you are not wrong to be the executor. Don't worry, as long as you sign the letter of the title, the prince will inevitably be concerned about the letter of the title of the title of the title after he ascended the throne. I also hope that you can be honest and part-time. In this way, the Great Yu Kingdom will be stable."

Xiao Ming actually wanted to say that the contract was created and that if it was torn apart, it would be equivalent to waste paper without a powerful executor.

This contract would be very useful when Xiao Wenxuan reborn, because once he violated it, he would face the situation of being killed by violating his oath. However, it is hard to say whether Xiao Wenxuan's role remains there after his death.

Now Xiao Wenxuan chose him as the executor of the letter of fame, one is that he has no background in any clan, and the other is that he holds Shanhaiguan, which has enough bargaining chips to threaten other princes.

"Father, I have always been doing my best. I only hope that the Great Yu Kingdom can unite to resist the barbarians. I hope that this letter of fame will make my brothers abandon past grudges and deal with the barbarians in total. After all, with my strength, I can only defend Shanhaiguan, but it is not so easy to eliminate the barbarians."

Xiao Wenxuan nodded and said, "It is for this purpose of the father."

After pausing, he continued, "You made such a contribution and were assassinated as soon as you arrived in Chang'an. Now I have asked you to make a letter of honor. I am really ashamed of you. Let's talk about what reward you want. I will definitely agree to you if I can achieve it."

Xiao Ming didn't care whether to sign this letter of vote or not. Even signing this letter of vote was beneficial to him. What he really wanted was a stable development environment and also wanted to be able to gather the strength of the Great Chongqing Kingdom to fight the barbarians with all their strength.

He didn't want to be an ambulance team to put out fires everywhere without any trouble.

Now Shanhaiguan has given him a layer of security. If the princes can settle down, it would be even better.

After pondering for a while, Xiao Ming said, "Father, I have indeed had a reluctant request to go to Chang'an this time."

"Let me tell me." Xiao Wenxuan showed an interesting look.

Xiao Ming said: "My son hopes that the Qingzhou Chamber of Commerce's goods can travel freely in the royal fiefdom and not be charged any taxes. I wonder if the father can agree."

"Isn't this the treatment of the imperial merchant?" Xiao Wenxuan said.

"Yes, what I want is the treatment of the imperial merchant." Xiao Ming nodded. On the royal land, only the imperial merchants are not charged any taxes, and no official dares to offend them.

"What's the difficulty? I promised you, but is this really the only one?" Xiao Wenxuan couldn't believe it. He didn't care about the businessman's affairs.

"Thank you, Father." Xiao Ming's heart almost jumped out. He didn't expect Xiao Wenxuan to answer so happily.

Xiao Wenxuan nodded, and then he said to Xiao Ming: "This is just a small matter. I think this reward is too small for your contribution."

"My son is already content."

Xiao Ming refused, he dared not ask for anything else. In his opinion, this was just a test of Xiao Wenxuan. If what he wanted was too much, Xiao Wenxuan would definitely be worried because it meant that he had too great ambitions.

The treatment of the imperial merchants may not be very important in Xiao Wenxuan's opinion. After all, Xiao Wenxuan has always advocated optimizing agriculture and suppressing commerce. Because of this, the status of merchants in the Great Yu Kingdom is so low.

Xiao Ming's answer made Xiao Wenxuan look admiring again, and then he said to Xiao Ming: "By the way, this time it is said that you used a new firearm and a thing called a hot air balloon in Jizhou, but this is the case."

"It's because of this kind of firearm. This time, the son-in-law brought a group of hot air balloons. The father can show it to the father at any time."

Xiao Wenxuan became more and more excited. He said, "Okay, since that's the case, the father will announce the reward to you tomorrow morning, and then go and watch it."

"Yes, Father." Xiao Ming nodded. He didn't care about anything else because he had achieved his goal.

After saying a few more words to Xiao Ming, Xiao Wenxuan asked Xiao Ming to leave and called the Eighth Prince in again.

Leaving the Imperial Study Room, Xiao Ming walked out of the palace with a wry smile.

This time he came to Chang'an, he encountered all kinds of absurd things, but whether it was assassination or a confession, it could not interrupt his plan.

As long as he opens up the trade route and waits for him to return to his fiefdom, it will be the time when his fiefdom takes off.

He didn't care about the letter of claim until he used Youzhou and Qingzhou, a vast land, developed.

After leaving the palace, Xiao Ming thought that it was time to find King Yong now.

The fiefdom of King Wei was probably not running away, and King Yong was even more unlikely to be able to escape. Now there is no problem with the scope of the royal family. What is left is the fiefdom of the vassal kings of different surnames.

However, this problem is very difficult, but for him, no matter how difficult it is, he always has to try it. After all, the wealthy land in the south is very important.

As for what chips to exchange, he already had an idea.

In the imperial study, after the eighth prince signed the name unwillingly and left, Xiao Wenxuan looked at the man beside him and said, "How, have you seen anything?"

This person is Yang Zhen, the commander of Lijing Sect. He said: "Except for the King of Qi so readily, the other princes are a little unwilling, especially the second prince, who seems to have resentment in their unwillingness."

"Second Prince." Xiao Wenxuan narrowed his eyes. He also felt this way, "Do you think this assassination was done by the second prince?"

Yang Zhen said: "The officials have sent people to investigate the source of these barbarians and found that these barbarians were provided by a Shanxi merchant. However, what is strange is that this Shanxi merchant, who was very close to the past, has disappeared without a trace."

"Shan merchant?" Xiao Wenxuan said in surprise.

Yang Zhen nodded, "The merchants in the fiefdom of King Liang are called Shanxi merchants. These merchants have the most intimate contact with barbarians. Outsiders cannot sell these mixed-race barbarians."

"But this does not mean that it was done by the second prince. After all, many of the Shanxi merchants are the minions of the barbarians."
