Looking at this imperial edict, in fact, it is just one sentence, that is, it promises an excellent future. One family and four kings sound extremely tempting, and many royal families are jealous and hot. This is equivalent to telling the Hao family that as long as you are willing to settle down, you will have endless wealth and honor in life for generations. With the Ming Dynasty, the wealth and honor of the Hao family can be continued in one day.

However, the other information revealed is that the emperor promised such a heavy salary, which was equivalent to establishing another emperor in Langshan. Although he did not give the name of the Emperor of the Hao family, it was equivalent to giving the Hao family the reality of the Emperor outside the thirteen provinces of the two capitals and thirteen provinces. Both Hao Zheng and Hao Fenglou understood that no one was willing to share these with others. All the kings under the world were kings, and the kings in the boundaries of the land were kings, and Zhu Gaosui, who was the man of Zhu Gaosui, would never be able to share these. There was no day, and no two kings in the country. Zhu Gaosui made such an unreserved wish to be appointed as an official, which only proved one thing, that is... all of this was just a temporary measure, and he was to delay time. In other words, these high hats and the so-called kings were just temporarily placed in the hands of the father and son of the Hao family. When the emperor recovered, he would inevitably sharpen his sword and prepare to take action.

At that time, let alone the four kings of a family, not to mention the glory and wealth, whether this family of more than a dozen people can save their lives is a matter of different things.

But... this is of course a later story. Hao Zheng would not be grateful for this imperial edict, and Hao Fenglou would never put down the butcher knife because of Zhu Gaosui. The only thing they can rely on is the sword in their hands, and only them. This is the timely way for the Hao family to establish their foothold, holding the knife in their left hand and doing business with their right hand. This is the cornerstone of the Hao family's life.

After Ma Yu finished reciting the imperial edict, he looked at the father and son of the Hao family who were obedient to the ground and listened to the imperial edict. He felt a little nervous. In fact, although the imperial edict was increased layer by layer, he knew in his heart that on the surface, the imperial edict was extraordinary. In fact, these things were all false in the end. The real benefit was that the emperor could never give up a little, but based on these seemingly amazing gifts, he was actually a shit to the Hao family. Therefore, he was afraid that the Hao family would not meet their expectations. He was furious.

In fact, at the beginning, Ma Yu had analyses and judgments. Although he was uneasy, he still believed that the Hao family would be somewhat afraid of the court, and perhaps not too crazy. However, after experiencing today, he understood that this father and son were not a good-for-nothing lamp. There was nothing in this world that they dare not do. How could rioters use common sense?

He stared at Hao Fenglou nervously and looked at Hao Zheng again. At this time, Hao Zheng stood up and smiled: "There is a bad minister."

Ma Yu breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly handed the imperial edict to Hao Zheng, saying, "Prince, congratulations, congratulations, the country's dynasty is unprecedented and the honor of the Hao family is really envious."

Hao Zheng smiled and said, "What is the matter? I just asked Your Majesty for the blessing. I was a woodcutter in the mountains and fields. Now I heard that I have gained all the gifts from the princes. The imperial envoy came from afar. It was really hard. Let's go to the mansion first and have a few cups of tea."

The group entered the palace and each of them sat down. The attitude of the father and son of the Hao family had improved a lot. Ma Yu was relieved. Hao Zheng ordered people to clean up their residence in the palace and arranged a headquarters for the imperial envoy, so that Ma Yu could live with peace of mind for some time. After some arrangements, it was already midnight.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The oil lamp in the hall was Ranran, and Ma Yu was sent to the place where he was staying, but the father and son of the Hao family never fell asleep. The father and son were in this hall. Hao Zheng couldn't help but laugh and said, "I didn't expect that our Hao family has today, one family, four kings, ha..."

Hao Fenglou looked solemn and said, "Why is the father complacent? This is just a temporary solution. Then Zhu Gaosui is just a temporary stabilization. The so-called four kings of one family are ultimately empty things, and there is no real benefit."

Hao Zheng shook his head, "There are real benefits, for example, with this, at least we can tell the people of the world that our Hao family is not a good-for-nothing lamp. If not, why would the court repeatedly appease it? Nowadays, many people, especially in Lang Son, Jiaozhi, Dingnan, and even in various Western vassal states, actually have many opposition parties. They have no confidence in our Hao family after all. They think that the court has two million armors, and the Hao family is fighting against the court. This is an egg hitting a stone. Now, it is equivalent to telling everyone that the strength of our Hao family is far stronger than they imagined. Otherwise, why would the court be willing to subsidize so much capital to appease?"

Hao Feng Louhe nodded, agreeing with his father's view. Having said that, although this imperial edict did not give real benefits, it could boost a lot in terms of legitimacy and confidence.

Hao Fenglou thought about it, but suddenly he had a little thought. He suddenly smiled and said, "Father, what do you think Mu Sheng?"

Speaking of Mu Sheng, Hao Zheng is very familiar with him. This man comes from the Mu family in Yunnan and fights south and north. He is also considered a tiger general. Although he is covered by the light of Hao Fenglou, his strength cannot be underestimated. The most important thing is that the military horses on the front line of Guangxi and Yunnan are now under his control. This man has become a major concern for Lang Son. In fact, the Hao family has studied and discussed many times about Mu Sheng, and has already studied him clearly like a peeled egg.

Hao Zheng thought that Hao Fenglou wanted to win over Mu Sheng, so he frowned and said, "Although Mu Sheng may not be on Zhu Gaosui's heart, I know that as the second son of the King of Qianning, this person abides by family motto. No matter which emperor is sitting in the court, he will never have any intention. As long as Zhu Gaosui issued an order, he will immediately order his soldiers to trample on Langshan. Otherwise, how could Zhu Gaosui entrust these hundreds of thousands of troops to him? This person will never betrayal, and it is impossible, and it has nothing to do with us."

Hao Fenglou smiled, nodded, and said, "This is true, but then again, is this person loyal to Zhu Gaosui or the court?"

Hao Zheng hesitated for a moment: "Of course it is the court. The Mu family is very clear about this. They are very regular families. It is said that this is what the Mu family motto is written."

Regarding this, Hao Fenglou still admires the Mu family. No wonder the Mu family was able to last forever in the Ming Dynasty. The biggest reason is that they rarely have much connection with the emperor. However, they guarded Yunnan, but obeyed the imperial court. No matter which emperor he changed, they would implement it steadily. This is the so-called support for whoever sits in the Golden Palace. It seems to be cunning, but it is also the way to establish a life of peace.

Hao Fenglou said slowly: "Now Ma Yu has a clear meaning, that is, Zhu Gaosui is eager to stabilize our Rongsan, otherwise how could Zhu Gaosui's will be willing to make such a capital, and even break the rules of the country. It would be better for him to not be crowned with a king in another surname, he had four at a time. Therefore, as long as our Hao family does not rebel, everything is within the tolerance of the court. Father, I don't know if what I said is right."

Hao Zheng said: "Yes, as long as we don't raise the anti-bank, the court will not be able to tolerate it."

Hao Fenglou said again: "As for Mu Sheng, what is naturally implemented is the will of the court. What does the will of the court say? Father, the difficulty we have now is that we must buy time like Zhu Gaosui and integrate the entire West to gain time. On the other hand, we cannot let Zhu Gaosui be smooth sailing. When he settles down, he will break up with us and fight to the death."

"So, we will never sit and wait for death. The West naturally needs to integrate, but while stabilizing ourselves, we still have to use a dull knife to give Zhu Gaosui a little color. Only by strengthening ourselves and weakening the enemy is the ultimate way to win."

Seeing that Hao Fenglou was energetic, Hao Zheng knew what the guy had had again, so he couldn't help but laugh and said, "What's your idea?"

Hao Fenglou also smiled and said, "Yes, we must use a dull knife to cut Zhu Gaosui's flesh with one knife, which will make him grin in pain, but will never give him any rebellious words!"

After saying that, Hao Fenglou stood up and said, "At present, the child only has some preliminary plans. What is the specific details, and we have to think about it again. In a few days, we will give the father a brief introduction. As long as the father is grateful, we can implement it immediately. Let's go to bed early."

Hao Zheng was not impatient. After hearing Hao Fenglou's words, he saw that he was full of confidence and became more anticipated. So he smiled and said, "You went to bed earlier, ah... but now..." He couldn't help laughing. He lived alone in Langshan for so long, and now the whole family has moved in. For this old prince, he is indeed a little uncomfortable. For example, the concubines he took in Langshan were now sent by Mrs. Hao. Hao Zheng is now a turtle shrank, but he dared not say a word.

Hao Fenglou knew the inside story and couldn't help but smile. The father and son were tacit. Hao Fenglou could understand some things. After all, his mother was a little stronger, but a man... ahem...

He yelled: "Father, my son said goodbye." (To be continued...)
