Become a feudal king from today

Chapter 44 The Emperor’s Heart

"So the Ninth Prince has really recovered from his illness and is back to his original state. Read"

Beside the lotus pond, Liang Cheng stared at the floats in the water, his thoughts changing.

The Ninth Prince had been stupid for three years, but he had recovered from his illness after three months in Yan County, which really surprised him.

However, it was not his arrangement for the Ninth Prince to go to Yan County.

But it was he who arranged for Zhang Han to go there after collecting the money, and he also ordered the sale of the courtyard of the palace.

Does this prince know?

Now that he knew it, he still sent gifts to his door. It can be seen that after the ninth prince recovered from his illness, his brain was bright and he also had a plan.

He knows what is important and what is important, and he will not be angry with him because he sold his house.

"Xiao Nu has seen it with his own eyes, and there is no lie." Hao Nu bowed and lowered his head.

"Then let him come in!" Liang Cheng pondered for a while and said.

Haonu left and led Guan Zhong in.

Seeing Liang Cheng, Guan Zhong bowed and signaled to the next two servants.

The servant immediately brought the silver over and opened it in front of Liang Cheng.

"My lord, these are some small gifts from your highness, a total of ten thousand taels of silver. Firstly, it is for Liu Fu to thank you for taking care of your highness when he was in the capital, and secondly, I hope that your highness will take care of your highness's business in the capital."

Liang Cheng's reputation for being greedy for money is unknown to everyone in Jinling.

Therefore, the people who came to Liang Cheng with money to do business almost broke through the door.

As long as you have money, you can buy connections from him, and even buy an official position is not a problem.

"Business?" Liang Cheng showed an interested expression.

Guan Zhong nodded.

This was also one of the instructions given to him by King Yan.

Liang Cheng, a close minister of the emperor, had seen too much silver and treasures.

Ten thousand taels of silver was nothing to him.

I'm afraid it's hard to move him based on these alone.

Therefore, after the Huang and Du families were expelled from the trading firm, King Yan took out the members of the two families and prepared to test Liang Cheng.

"The hot ice selling business in Jinling these days belongs to His Highness, and His Highness is prepared to hand over 20% of the profits to you," Guan Zhong said.

After hearing this, Liang Cheng finally turned around and looked at Guan Zhong.

Putting down the fishing rod, he stood up and said, "It turns out that this is His Highness King Yan's business. It's rare, rare."

He had heard something about it.

Although his mansion is not short of ice, others in Jinling City are very much in need.

This business is really profitable, and it is said that many powerful people have used their brains to inquire about it.

As far as he knows, the ice produced by this trading company is not shipped from Yan County, but made by the company.

It's more fun that way.

If there was a way to make ice, who wouldn’t want it for themselves?

He also wants it, but he doesn't want to compete with others and offend others.

After all, not everyone gives him face.

Now that King Yan has come to your door, it is of course the best.

In addition, with the reputation of King Yan, the money will become more stable.

"Also, His Highness wants you to forward a letter to Mr. Mi, and tell him about the more profitable business in the capital in the future. He will not treat you badly." Guan Zhong handed over the letter.

Liang Cheng accepted it with a smile, "King Yan is so generous. Please tell His Highness, King Yan, that this trivial matter is not worth mentioning."

"Thank you, Mr. Manager." Guan Zhong thanked him and bowed before leaving.

Liang Cheng nodded. After Guan Zhong left, he tore open the envelope. When he saw that it was just a message about missing Mi Gui, he put the letter in it.

"These days, the emperor is worried about the Yuan family's self-respect for supporting troops. If he knows that the ninth prince's brain disease has recovered, he will be happy. Hey, this can be regarded as an unintentional intervention." Liang Cheng murmured. , "Come here, change your clothes, let's go into the palace."

Zijin Palace, South Study Room.

Emperor Zhao Heng looked at the Dasong map on the wall with mixed feelings in his heart.

Dasong was founded for more than 200 years and passed through sixteen emperors. In his hands, Shen Rong's long-standing abuses have made it increasingly difficult to control the once powerful dynasty.

He was only twenty-six years old when he ascended the throne, but when he wanted to exercise his rights he found great resistance.

Over the years, in countless border wars, the Imperial Guards directly under the Imperial Palace of Dashong have suffered heavy losses time and time again, and their strength has been greatly reduced.

The huge consumption of the war has gradually emptied the national treasury.

Faced with such a predicament, the two emperors before him had to rely on the power of the powerful tribes to resist foreign invasion, and allowed the powerful tribes to recruit troops to participate in the war on the border.

But this gave the powerful people the opportunity to support themselves with troops.

This has resulted in the current situation in which the Dasong Forbidden Army and the local military forces are competing against each other.

And having an army in hand gave powerful people confidence in the court.

Since he ascended the throne, he has been hampered everywhere, unable to move even an inch, and is like a puppet on strings.

In desperation, he indulged in wine and sex and began to neglect government affairs.

More than twenty years have passed, and he has become accustomed to this kind of life. As long as it does not affect his enjoyment, he will not care about the flood.

He dropped the imperial pen and didn't bother to read it again.

Anyway, Prime Minister Dou Wei has already made up his mind, and it doesn't make much difference whether he approves or not.

It's better to think about which concubine you will sleep with tonight.

Just as he was about to return to the palace, he saw Liang Chengmei coming over with a smile.

Zhao Heng said: "Aren't you off duty today? Why are you here?"

Liang Cheng served him when he was still a prince.

When he ascended the throne, Liang Cheng made even greater efforts, so he always had close trust in Liang Cheng.

"Hey, Your Majesty, happy news, happy news." Liang Cheng came to Zhao Heng and whispered in his ear.

"Has the Ninth Prince recovered from his brain disease?" Zhao Heng was slightly surprised.

"This is true." Liang Cheng took out Zhao Xu's letter.

Zhao Heng took it out and looked at it. It was indeed Zhao Xu's notes.

Before Zhao Xu went crazy, Zhao Xu had always been the most diligent in studying among the princes, and his handwriting was also the most beautiful.

"..." After a long pause, Zhao Heng showed no emotion.

In the harem, almost all of his concubines were from the powerful families of Dasong.

Only his mother was selected by him for her beauty during the selection and was included in the harem.

At that time, he did have a period of love with Zhao Xu's mother, but was soon replaced by someone else.

After all, as an emperor, he always treated the harem equally.

As for Zhao Xu, he did not pay much attention to him.

This world was conquered by the nine powerful families back then.

His Zhao family was the strongest of the nine powerful families, so they were elected as the royal family.

Therefore, in Dasong, the princes whose mothers were not from powerful families were in a miserable situation.

Even he ascended the throne with the support of powerful families.

For him, such a prince would at most be an idler in the future and would be of no great use.

He turned a blind eye to the bullying of Zhao Xu by other princes.

After Zhao Xu went crazy, it was rumored in the palace this year that he and Zhao Xu were incompatible.

So he completely hated him and sent him to Yanzhou to let him fend for himself.

But now Liang Cheng told him that the King of Yan's brain disease was cured.

"Since it's cured, let him stay in Yan County." Zhao Heng threw the letter on the ground and walked towards the harem.

Liang Cheng had a smile on his face. Hearing this, he whispered something to Zhao Heng.

Zhao Heng stopped suddenly, widened his eyes, and looked incredible.
