Become a feudal king from today

"Who informed us of the letter today?"

In front of the sleeping hall.

More than twenty servants and six maids stood in two rows.

"..."

When the servants and maids heard this, they looked at me and I looked at you, but no one said anything.

"Hmph, I will give you a chance to admit it yourself, but if I want to find out by myself, I will make you complain that Tiantian does not respond and the earth and earth are ineffective." Zhao Xu threatened.

The servants and maids remained silent.

But some people's expressions have changed.

"I really can't shed tears until I see the coffin, Liu Fu, go get Zhang Han!" Zhao Xu said angrily.

"Yes, Your Highness." Liu Fu turned and left.

After a while, four guards in armor escorted Zhang Han and the guard to the dormitory.

Seeing Zhao Xu, their bodies trembled slightly.

One day.

Zhao Xu took complete control of the palace, and he became a prisoner.

Now their life and death only depend on Zhao Xu's thoughts.

"Your Highness, please have mercy on me, Your Highness, please have mercy on me..."

Zhang Han still looks as arrogant as usual.

A face full of tears and snot.

The same happened to the guard, who was trembling and unable to speak a word.

They never imagined that a mad prince would return to normal overnight.

When Zhao Xu was crazy and stupid, they were able to control the Yan Palace and even the entire Yan County by imprisoning Zhao Xu.

But now, in front of them is the Ninth Prince of Dasong, King Yan of Yan County.

They had no rights whatsoever in front of Zhao Xu like this.

"Spare your life? Humph, the most I can do is let you die with dignity." Zhao Xu sneered.

Imprisoning King Yan and bullying his maids is a crime equivalent to treason.

"Your Highness, spare your life, Your Highness, spare your life..."

Zhang Han was even more unbearable when he heard this, kowtowing like pounding garlic.

Zhao Xu glanced at all the servants and maids.

Those who have evil thoughts in their hearts will feel like an electric shock when they meet Zhao Xu's eyes.

Unable to bear it any longer, three servants and two maids knelt down.

"Your Highness, please spare your life, it was us who released the news, and we were forced to..."

Zhao Xu glanced at them coldly, "Tell me truthfully who you reported the letter to today."

"It's the Zhang family, the Huang family and the Du family." said a servant.

"Prince Zhang said that if you don't listen to him, the little ones will have no chance of living." A maidservant cried sadly.

Zhang Han shrugged his head.

As soon as he arrived in Yan County, Zhang Qian sent someone to invite him to his house.

Looking through the genealogy, the two were actually distant relatives.

After learning from Zhang Han that Zhao Xu was crazy and stupid, the two secretly communicated and planned the palace's property.

In addition, he also used the authority of the palace to issue many government orders to benefit the Zhang family.

The Zhang family gave him eight thousand taels of silver as reward.

Zhao Xu looked at Zhang Han and said, "You have done a lot of good things. It's better to tell them yourself or to torture them first."

Zhang Han was a prodigal in the imperial city, and bribed Liang Chengcai, the chief eunuch in the palace, to get this job.

He is not a man of integrity.

Now that he is in the hands of Zhao Xu, his courage is almost shattered.

Hearing that he was going to be tortured, he could hardly control his excrement and urine.

Pouring the beans, he usually told everything he had done in the past three months.

Zhao Xu's face became increasingly ugly as he listened.

In the end, he was so angry that he got up and kicked Zhang Han.

"Not only did you sell my king's property, but you also sold the salt and mines in Yan County. You also dared to increase taxes and make up for the arrears of taxes for the Zhang family, the Huang family, and the Du family. A large amount of corvee work was launched to open up wasteland for these three families." Zhao Xu kicked him again and again.

These orders were issued in the name of the palace.

Now the people of Yan County probably hate Prince Yan's Mansion to death.

This shook the foundation of his rule over Yan County.

He is able to stay away from anger.

"Your Highness, please calm down. It's not worth getting so angry." Feng'er comforted him from the side.

Liu Fudao said: "Your Highness, I am afraid that the things Zhang Han sold will not come back. The Zhang, Huang, and Du families will not spit it out."

After a pause, he said: "However, the ruined reputation of the palace can be restored, as long as..."

Liu Fu made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Zhao Xu nodded, he had already thought of it.

In order to quell the anger of the people of Yan County, he could only borrow Zhang Han's head.

Glancing at the half-dead Zhang Han, Zhao Xu motioned to the guards to drag him down.

Then he looked at the servants and maids who had confessed, "Someone, drag them out and kill them with sticks, as a warning to others."

"Your Highness, have mercy on me, Your Highness, please have mercy on me." The servant and the maid cried and begged for mercy.

Zhao Xu looked away from them. He gave them a chance, but they chose to remain silent.

And he didn't believe their cries.

When Zhang Han was well, they were very happy.

Furthermore, the current situation in Yan County is very cruel. If they are not severely punished, other people in the palace will see that the cost of betrayal is very low, and there is no guarantee that they will not take chances and collude with the wealthy family to take advantage.

Therefore, he had to be decisive.

Looking at the remaining people, he said, "You remember, follow me from now on. As long as you are loyal, I will not treat you badly, but if you have different intentions, I will never tolerate it."

"Yes, Your Highness." Everyone's hearts tightened and they hurriedly bowed.

Luan'er and Feng'er looked at Zhao Xu with little stars in their eyes.

Luan'er said: "Your Highness is so majestic, he really looks like King Yan."

Feng'er's eyes flashed and she smiled.

They had already accepted their fate, but they didn't expect that God would play such a joke on them. No, it was a grace.

Zhao Xu dealt with the inner ghost and asked Liu Fu to go back.

Only Feng'er and Luan'er were left in the dormitory.

The moon rose at some point, and Feng'er said, "Your Highness, it's time to rest. I will ask someone to fetch water for Your Highness to take a bath."

Zhao Xu was tired from working from morning to night, so he nodded.

Washed up.

Feng'er and Luan'er spread out the bedding for him, and helped him lie down with their own hands, making him feel for the first time the joy of ancient powerful people's depravity.

"Do you want to come together?"

Lying on the bed, Zhao Xu patted the side of the bed, deliberately teasing the two of them.

Suddenly coming from modern times to ancient times, without mobile phones or computers, he found that the long nights were boring.

When the two heard this, they blushed.

Feng'er was shy, but her eyes were burning, while Luan'er's head lowered to her chest.

They all know that they are Zhao Xu's people, and Zhao Xu can be used at any time.

"Your Highness, wait a moment." Feng'er pulled Luan'er out of the dormitory.

But when they came back wet and fragrant, Zhao Xu had already slept soundly.

…

The next day, the sun reached the top of the willow trees, and Zhao Xu woke up leisurely.

When Feng'er and Luan'er saw Zhao Xu getting up, the expressions on their faces were half-smiling, and then they fetched him water to wash up.

After a simple meal, Zhao Xu left the dormitory.

Liu Fu is already waiting in the middle courtyard.

He was afraid to go to the backyard because no male could be there without orders.

"Your Highness, the various wealthy families in Yan County have sent documents from the Chamber of Commerce. From now on, our palace will exclusively hold 40% of the profits. In addition, there will be other companies that share the same amount here." Liu Fu handed the documents to Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu nodded and glanced briefly.

Each company above also wrote about the personnel they dispatched, including those who purchase raw materials, ice-making personnel, and sales personnel.

"Today, these people are going south to Jinling. What will our palace do?"

Zhao Xu thought for a moment, "Just send three servants from the palace to follow."

In the Chamber of Commerce, he had carefully thought out his involvement with the Zhang family. On the one hand, it was to take out the Zhang family's money, and on the other hand, it was also to deliberately create conflicts.

He has roughly figured out that the current wealthy families in Yan County are divided into two factions, led by the Zhang family and the Dong family.

Therefore, in order not to let the other party take advantage, both parties will definitely keep an eye on the accounts.

If there is only one family, they will definitely try to deceive him.

But now, it is difficult for any company to tamper with its accounts.

So the palace only needs to send servants to make soy sauce.

"Yes, I'll do it now, little one." Liu Fu went.

Zhao Xu came to the door.

Chang Wei stood like a pillar outside the gate, staring at the passers-by, as if anyone could be a robber.

"Your Highness, nothing happened last night." Chang Wei had dark circles around his eyes.

Zhao Xu patted his shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"The final general's responsibility lies." Chang Wei said loudly.

Zhao Xu was quite satisfied with Chang Wei, the commander of the guards.

He wanted to thank his father for sending such an upright man to him.

However, this also illustrates the current chaos in the Dasong Dynasty.

People who are truly capable are not reused.

The whole court is full of flatterers.

"Commander Chang, how many people should my army have according to the regulations?"

As the saying goes, a pen is not as good as a gun.

One reason why the wealthy families in Yanzhou were so rampant was that the Beidi cavalry raided them every year, and the court was surrounded by enemies on all sides, so its troops were stretched thin.

Therefore, the wealthy families in Yanzhou are allowed to train private soldiers and build Wubao to deal with the Beidi people. In addition to being rich, the wealthy families in Yan County also have private soldiers.

The consequence of this is that the separatist forces in Yanzhou become more rampant.

"Your Highness, according to the regulations, we can support a total of 20,000 people."

"Then do you want to be the general of my army?" Zhao Xu said lightly.
