1720 The Prince's Alliance(1/2)
This kid's actions immediately made other people react. If he didn't have any consciousness at this time, how could he get involved in this Vanity Fair? You must know that there are definitely a lot of things in it. The Marquis of Cary was pulled out by the prince.
Although the idiom "kill the chicken to scare the monkeys" has not appeared on this planet, everyone understands this truth very well. If anyone says something that His Highness the Prince does not want to hear at this time, I guess he will be the next one. I didn't see it.
Are all the crossbows outside aimed at them? Besides, some of their personal guards have long been out of sight. They must have been dealt with by His Royal Highness’s people. This is the Northern Empire, and the most powerful in the Northern Empire.
That person is Li Cong. Li Cong appeared behind His Highness the Crown Prince because he wanted to support His Highness. At this time, he was going against His Highness. Did he really not want his own life?
"That's right, this Marquis of Cali is so frustrated that he has gone crazy. Otherwise, how could he have killed the Emperor's uncle? I really don't know what was going on in this guy's mind..." This was his first example.
, someone immediately stood up and followed the prince. These people are definitely just outsiders, they are still standard.
"Yes, what the Earl is saying is true. The Marquis of Cary used to have very little respect for the emperor's uncle based on his military exploits. It is reasonable for them to do such a thing now. Between them
There has been a period of time." There are many good people among these nobles. Now they immediately accuse Marquis of Cary. This Marquis of Cary is a member of His Majesty the Emperor. Looking at the current posture, this prince
We must go against His Majesty the Emperor. Even if something happens to our own father, who told him not to let us go first? We still have a bright future, so of course we have to give it a try.
"Oh? There is such a thing. I really didn't see it. In the past, I thought that the Marquis of Cary was indifferent to the world. Now it seems that this guy is also a mortal like us. It's just too much.
Killing the emperor's uncle in public is an unforgivable crime." These guys who were just stunned like fools now know what they should do, and now their task is to stand up quickly.
Some of them have testified, and some are trying to find out some conflicts between the emperor's uncle and the Marquis of Cary from some previous things. It doesn't matter if they don't have it. They are the best at making things up, and they can deal with a living person.
Send people to prison. Let alone a dead man. This dead man can't say anything now, and there is no need to be afraid of this guy coming to retaliate against them. When they spoke one by one, they were very happy, and some even said
It was said that the emperor's uncle had sex with the Marquis of Cary's wife.
"Okay, everyone, please don't be embarrassed here anymore. Get out of here and stay in your own room. I will guarantee your safety. But if you act nonsense, don't blame me for not caring about your affection."
Well, the Marquis of Cary and the Emperor's uncle are both ministers of the Empire. They are very lonely in the Northern Empire. If any of you are willing to stay and help them, I have no objection and will definitely help you.
Anyone who wants to live should get out of here." His Highness the Crown Prince saw the smile on Li Cong's face. Not to mention how uncomfortable he felt. Such a thing happened right next to him. Didn't this make others laugh at him? So the Crown Prince
Quickly tell them to get lost. If they continue to talk, who knows what these bastards will say. These people are really a group of guys with no lower limit. From this, it can be seen that his father and emperor have given
What kind of people he sent here are of no use.
When these people heard His Highness the Crown Prince's words, they quickly put away their words. A few people had not finished speaking, but they all swallowed their words. If they continue to speak, they will have to follow
The two of them, the emperor's uncle, stayed together. No one wanted to die, so they all left in a hurry.
"Let the prince see the joke, please come in." After they all exited, the prince turned to Li Cong and said with a smile. He did not expect that what happened just now would go so smoothly. He knew that without Li Cong's support,
Otherwise, there is absolutely no way that I will succeed. You must know that although I am the top leader of this mission, in the eyes of many people, I am actually just a child. My words cannot represent the entire Southern Empire. If His Majesty the Emperor
He really believed that his words would never let the emperor's uncle follow him. Along the way, he felt that the emperor's uncle was just here to look at him, and he felt extremely relaxed now.
"Haha, His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't take it to heart. Such things will happen everywhere. Even here, there is a group of people like this. Such people sometimes have their uses. Just like just now, if
If they are all strong subordinates, it is estimated that His Highness the Crown Prince's affairs will not be easy to handle, please." Li Cong said with a smile, the two of them came here just to sign a contract with the Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince's official seal is here, otherwise
Otherwise, Li Cong would not come to this place. This place no longer has the qualifications to be equal to him. This prince is just his plaything.
Seeing that the contract signing between the two parties was completed, the prince felt a little disappointed. Things changed so fast. In just a dozen hours, Li Cong allowed himself to see a shocking world.
I am now Li Cong's collaborator. This guy has become my collaborator. This is hard to believe. You must know that a few hours ago, I still hated this guy and gritted my teeth.
At this moment, he hoped that Li Cong would help him quickly. Of course, Li Cong was not a fool. He could not just let them do this. The army took them away, and an army of 500,000 people with serial crossbows entered.
They can't be said to be rampaging into the territory of the Southern Empire. If the people of the Southern Empire want to plot against them, they probably won't be able to escape. Li will never let his brothers take risks. Killing the emperor's uncle is just a
It's just a verification. There are many more to come. Although the prince had no way to explain after he killed the emperor's uncle and went back, the emperor's uncle's matter had been solved just now. Even if the emperor of the Southern Empire knew about this matter, he would really miss him.
This matter will not be announced. After all, the person who did this is his son. The royal family has always given people a very harmonious impression. If a nephew kills his grandfather, this is not a joke.
Things that are just a joke will make the people of the Southern Empire become indifferent to the royal family and no longer support the royal family that they think is perfect. The final result is that they cannot bear the loss of public support, so killing the emperor's uncle is just
A starting point. If you want Li Cong to send troops, the prince must not only sign a good treaty, but also drink some of the things Li Cong has given him. If this kid doesn't want to die, he must do what Li Cong said.
Of course, you don’t have to eat it, then just pretend that we have never worked together and you can just go back.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will definitely abide by what I said. The thing you eat will not be life-threatening within three years. It will only hurt once a year for you to try its taste. Of course, every year I
I will ask someone to deliver an antidote to His Highness the Crown Prince. When our plan is completed in three years, I will give you the final antidote. Isn't this already written in our contract?
This is absolutely true." Li Cong looked at the prince's hesitation and said, Li Cong is not an upright person, but he doesn't want to kill this guy, there are benefits to keeping him.
"Haha, the prince's reputation is still very good. I can still trust him. Take it now. We will have a happy cooperation in the future." The prince took the medicine in front of Li Cong. Now he has no other choice.
, I can only choose to believe Li Cong, otherwise I can only die. In the past, I could still be imprisoned. But now that I have killed the emperor's uncle, I can't keep my life even if I return to the Southern Empire.
Even though he was dead, the relationship between the emperor and his uncle was still very good. He would not make it easy for himself. Since he knew that the result would not be good, he would just rebel. Even the emperor of half the empire could do it.
"Of course we will cooperate happily. From now on, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be the emperor of the Southern Empire. From now on, our two countries will also be one family. I have some things to do, so I won't be with you anymore. I will take these documents with me." Li Congxiao
He said, pointing to some documents. These are some share transfer documents of Imperial Bank. Li Cong has already checked the source of Imperial Bank's shares clearly. Imperial Bank was established by two royal families in the past. At that time, they were still
It belongs to a royal family. It can be said that the original Imperial Bank was the same as the Ministry of Finance of that empire. When the two empires split, the only thing that was not separated may be the Imperial Bank. The two royal families originally agreed that each would have 50%.
Only the emperor and the prince can have certain shares, and the remaining members of the royal family cannot have shares. However, the rules set by the ancestors at the time were dead. After tens of thousands of years, the latter people can
They are all alive, and everyone has their own brains, so the issue of shares is not as simple as it was at the beginning. Now Imperial Bank’s shares in the Northern Empire are 30%, and the Southern Empire’s are 3%.
Fifteen, the remaining 35% have all been scattered in the hands of the people and nobles. You must know that the total share capital of the Imperial Bank is as high as trillions of gold coins. Every year, the Imperial Bank’s silver coins alone rotate.
They all have to exceed hundreds of billions of gold coins, and the profits he generates every year must be at least around 50 billion gold coins. Compared with the speed of making money from some of Li Cong's businesses, there is a huge gap between them and the Imperial Bank. There were some in the past.
Many nobles fawned over Li Cong and wanted to give their bank shares to Li Cong, but the shares in their hands were too small. It was impossible for Li Cong to feel that interest, and if Li Cong
If he has shares, others will notice him, and the gain outweighs the loss.
But he would be a fool if he didn't take this opportunity now. Five percent of Imperial Bank's shares were right in front of him. The prince originally had ten percent in his hands, but this kid could only give it to him.
Five percent of his own, you know, if this is sold, it can be converted into tens of billions of gold coins. Regardless of whether this cooperation is successful or not, these shares are obtained anyway. This cannot be ignored. Li Cong is now considered an empire.
A medium-sized shareholder of the bank, although it is nothing compared to the two royal families, it is already quite a lot in front of other shareholders. In addition, the Emperor of the Northern Empire is actually Li Cong's son.
Cong holds 35% of the shares, which is basically the same as the Southern Empire. Those small shareholders are not just grassroots. In order to protect their assets, they will naturally follow whoever becomes stronger.
Once you are mixed up, you will no longer be strong enough to have a younger brother.
Looking at Prince Li Cong who had walked out, he felt that he had no strength left in his body. He looked at his hands again. He didn't want to kill the emperor's uncle at first, but what Li Cong said was right. If the emperor's uncle didn't die, maybe
There is no way for him to accomplish all this. He is not the only one here who is a member of the royal family. The emperor's uncle's prestige is even higher than his own, and another thing Li Cong said is that if the prince doesn't want to do it, he can
I discussed it with the emperor's uncle. In fact, that's what Li Cong said. It's not impossible to cooperate with the emperor's uncle. Don't talk about how loyal the emperor's uncle is. In the past, he was also very fond of the throne.
, but as his age increased and the emperor's control became stronger, he had no way to win the throne, so he felt that his position as prince was still good, so he stopped fighting for it.
, this can actually be turned into loyalty. Others don't know the ambition of the emperor's uncle, but the prince knows it. As long as he has such strong support as Li Cong, he will definitely rebel. There is also the political resources that the emperor's uncle has.
But they are much stronger than me, so we can't let them cooperate.
Li Cong also didn't want to cooperate with the emperor's uncle. Normally, the prince would have seen that this was a threat, but at that time, the prince was no longer as capable as usual, and all he wanted was to cooperate quickly.
, In fact, Li Cong also considered that cooperation with the emperor's uncle can achieve quick success. But the emperor's uncle is not desperate. His power in the Southern Empire is much greater than that of the prince. If the treaty still says that
, it is estimated that the emperor's uncle will not agree, so in the end, if he wants to maximize his own interests, Li Cong will still cooperate with the prince.
Duke Luther came in shortly after Li Cong went out. He was one of the two people who witnessed the prince losing his power. His mind was much better than that of the Marquis of Cary. The prince would definitely not keep him, after all.
The prince didn't want people to know that he was no longer the prince. Luther looked at the prince and saw that the prince didn't ask him to sit down. This had never happened before. He knew that the prince was annoyed with him, but the man at that time
What can I do about the situation? I have no other choice. It is correct that you are the prince and the crown prince of the country, but compared to the emperor, you are still somewhat lacking. I still have to listen to you first, right? That
The throne will be yours in the future, which means that in the future, it is not yours now. You will still get a lot of discounts. Unfortunately, the prince will not consider his own. Many people will only see his own.
.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, I... I..., um. Your Highness the Crown Prince, this is all my family property, 200 million gold coins. I carry this money with me. I still have about 400 million gold coins in assets in the Southern Empire. I
I am willing to dedicate everything to His Highness the Crown Prince. I hope His Highness the Crown Prince can spare the lives of my two sons." Duke Luther knew that it was impossible to save his life. The Crown Prince would not let this news get out. This can keep the secret
The solution was to disappear by himself. He did not plead for himself, but for his two sons. In fact, he also knew clearly that his two sons would not survive. He also had an illegitimate son outside. He hoped
The only thing is that these two sons are dead. If he can leave the illegitimate son for himself, how can he have someone to succeed him? As a duke, all the money of the family is here. It is impossible for a duke in the Northern Empire.
With so much money, you can see how wealthy the Dukes of the Southern Empire are. His assets are relatively average. If he were a wealthy Duke, he would definitely be better than the prince of the Northern Empire.
Even richer, that's for sure.
"Put down your things and go out. I don't want to see you tomorrow. I'll leave your two sons for you." The prince raised his head and glanced at this guy. After his words, the Duke who gave way almost knelt down and kowtowed to the prince.
He knew that this was the prince's gift, the greatest gift.
Duke Luther can be regarded as a talented person in the Southern Empire's diplomacy. If this guy is not allowed to die, he may help the prince a lot in the future. But it is too late now. It is impossible for this guy to let him know the secret.
He is alive, and the threat he poses to himself is really great.
Li Cong didn't care about the prince's affairs. The next day, Li Cong knew that more than a dozen corpses were taken out from the prince's post house. Wu Hai asked his men to help them deal with them. Most of them were from the Southern Empire.
Needless to say, some of the nobles and nobles here must want to use various channels to pass the news here to the Southern Empire. Unfortunately, they have been put on the defensive line by the prince. Wu Hai is responsible for this matter, and they must not be able to pass on any information.
After the news was passed on, as long as Wu Hai showed this intention, he would report it to the prince. The prince would naturally make these people pay the price. When they die, these people will donate all their assets just like the Duke of Lu.
I gave it to the prince. The prince will use the money to pay for some crossbows in the Northern Empire, and then rush back to his hometown.
"What are you looking at? Are you so serious? Don't you want to have breakfast?" The little princess said when she saw Li Cong reading a letter in the restaurant. This was from Guangming City. It was about some news about Wandu Mountain. Meng Tian and the others
About four hundred spies were sent to Ten Thousand Poison Mountains, but not one of them came back alive. All of them died within thirty miles of entering Ten Thousand Poison Mountains, and it was impossible to retrieve their bodies.
Coming back is really depressing.
"Haha, it's useless to tell you some news from the front line. Why did you two get up so early? The sun is so beautiful today. What's the plan?" Li Cong took a bun and asked his two wives.
To be continued...
