Chapter 395: Royal business treatment

There was silence around Xiao Ming, and a layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out behind Xiao Ming. Eight? One? Chinese Network?
At this time, his formidable light swept towards the door inside the Imperial Study Room, which was connected to the outside.
If he doesn't sign at this time, he seriously suspects that soldiers will immediately rush out and kill him on the spot. After all, this stage of the scene has been staged more than once in history.
The emperor vowed not to rebel in order to ensure that the eldest son's throne forced the powerful prince not to rebel, but Xiao Ming didn't expect that he would encounter this kind of thing, and he had to sign this nomination certificate.
However, it can be seen how much Xiao Wenxuan is fond of the prince.
"Erchen signed!" Xiao Ming said almost without hesitation.
Xiao Wenxuan looked at Xiao Ming with satisfaction and said, "Ming'er, you are the one who answered the most readily so far. Father did not make a mistake this time. It seems that there is nothing wrong with letting you be the executor. You can rest assured, as long as you sign the name certificate. After the crown prince ascends the throne, he will inevitably hesitate to vote for the vow of fame. I also hope that you can do your duty. In this way, this great Yu country will be stable."
Xiao Ming actually wanted to say that the contract was torn when it was created. If there is no strong enforcer, the contract is equivalent to waste paper.
This contract will be very useful when Xiao Wenxuan is reborn, because once he violates his oath, he will face the situation of violating his oath and being killed. It is hard to say that this effect is still there after Xiao Wenxuan's death.
Now Xiao Wenxuan chooses him as the executor of the nomination certificate. One is that he does not have any background, and the other is that he holds Shanhaiguan and has enough chips to threaten other princes.
"Father, the children have always been in duty. I only hope that Great Yu can unite and resist the barbarians together. I hope that this vote will allow the brothers to abandon their previous suspicions and deal with the barbarians. After all, the power of the children can only hold Shanhaiguan, but It is not so easy to destroy the barbarians."
Xiao Wenxuan nodded and said, "The father is for this purpose."
After a pause, he continued: "You made such a contribution. You were assassinated when you first arrived in Chang'an. Now I have asked you to make a nomination. You are really ashamed of you. Let's say you want to What reward, I will definitely promise you if I can achieve it."
Xiao Ming didn't care whether he signed the name certificate or not, and even signing the name certificate was beneficial to him. What he really wanted was a stable environment for exhibition, and he also wanted to be able to unite the power of the Great Yu Kingdom against the barbarians.
He doesn't want to be an ambulance team to fight fires everywhere.
Now Shanhaiguan has given him a layer of security. If the princes can settle down, it will be even better.
After pondering for a while, Xiao Ming said: "Father, my son really has a ruthless invitation to Chang'an this time."
"Let's talk about it." Xiao Wenxuan showed an expression of interest.
Xiao Ming said: "I hope that the Qingzhou Chamber of Commerce's goods can flow unimpeded in the imperial fief without any taxes. I don't know if my father can agree."
"Isn't this the treatment of the royal merchants?" Xiao Wenxuan said.
"Yes, what the sons and ministers want is the treatment of the imperial merchants." Xiao Ming nodded. Only the imperial merchants on the royal land were not subject to any taxes, and no official dare to offend.
"How difficult is this? I promised you, but is this really the only one?" Xiao Wenxuan couldn't believe it, he didn't care about the merchant.
"Thank you, Father." Xiao Ming's heart almost jumped out, he didn't expect Xiao Wenxuan to answer so freely.
Xiao Wenxuan nodded, and then he said to Xiao Ming: "This is just a trivial matter, but I feel that this reward is too small for your merits."
"Erchen is content."
Xiao Ming declined and said that he didn't dare to ask for other things. In his opinion, this was just Xiao Wenxuan's temptation. If he wanted too much, Xiao Wenxuan would definitely feel uneasy because it meant that he was too ambitious.
And this royal merchant's treatment may not be very important in Xiao Wenxuan's opinion. After all, Xiao Wenxuan has always promoted the emphasis on agriculture and suppressing business. It is precisely because of this that the status of the merchants in Great Yu is so low.
Xiao Ming's answer made Xiao Wenxuan look admired again, and then he said to Xiao Ming: "Right, this time it is said that you used a new firearm and something called a hot air balloon in Jizhou. ."
"That's the case. The name of this firearm is a musket. This time I brought a batch of them, and the hot air balloon I also brought them. The father can show it to the father at any time."
The more excited Xiao Wenxuan was, he said, "Well, in that case, tomorrow morning, the Emperor Father will announce the award to you, and then go and watch it."
"Yes, Father Father." Xiao Ming nodded, he didn't care about the others, because he had achieved his goal.
After speaking a few words with Xiao Ming, Xiao Wenxuan let Xiao Ming leave and called the Eighth Prince to enter.
Leaving the Imperial Study Room, Xiao Ming walked out of the palace with a wry smile.
When he came to Chang'an this time, he encountered all the absurd things, but whether it was an assassination or a nomination, this could not interrupt his plan.
As long as the trade route is opened up, when he returns to the fief, that is when his fief takes off.
After he took advantage of the vast land of Youzhou and Qingzhou, he didn't care about his name.
Leaving the palace, Xiao Ming thought it was time to find King Yong.
It is estimated that King Wei's fief did not run away, and King Yong is even less likely to run away. Now the scope of the royal family is no problem, and the rest is the fief of different surnames.
But this question is very difficult, but for him, no matter how difficult it is, he always has to try it. After all, the rich land in the south is very important.
As for what the bargaining chip is, he already has an idea.
Yushufang~EbookFREE.me~ After the Eighth Prince was unwilling to sign the name and left, Xiao Wenxuan looked at the man beside him and said, "How, do you see anything?"
This person is Yang Zhen, the leader of Lijingmen. He said: "Except for King Qi being so refreshed, the other princes are a little unwilling, especially the second prince. Unwillingness seems to be filled with resentment."
"Second prince." Xiao Wenxuan narrowed his eyes, and he felt the same way, "Do you think this assassination was done by the second prince?"
Yang Zhen said: "The lower officials have sent people to investigate the source of these barbarians. Now these barbarians are all provided by a Shanxi merchant, but the strange thing is that this Shanxi merchant who was very close to the prince in the past has disappeared. ."
"Shanxi merchants?" Xiao Wenxuan asked in surprise.
Yang Zhen nodded, "The merchants in the Liang King's fief are called Jin merchants. These merchants have the closest contacts with the barbarians, and outsiders cannot sell these mixed-blood barbarians."
"However, this does not mean that the second prince did it. After all, many of these Shanxi merchants are barbarians."
