"How are you, Qin Bo?"
Zhao Lingxin asked quickly.
Qin Bo did not reply, only shook his head faintly.
"Not at all?" Zhao Lingxin said again.
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry to say that no one will support you."
"These nobles say they are loyal to the royal family. But when I asked for help, they didn't care," Zhao Lingxin said in an angry tone.
Previously, he sent Qin Bo to contact the nobles in the royal court for financial assistance. Because his system required a lot of spirit stones. And the critical point is that this spirit stone is precious. No one was willing to give it to Zhao Lingxin.
If Zhao Lingxin used a strict method to order the nobles to deliver the spirit stone Lest everyone join together to seize power and quickly dismiss him, Appoint an emperor who does not undermine their interests.
"Your Majesty, you must never forget that they are loyal to the royal family. Not loyal to the emperor Most of them would have joined with the other princes now. They don't have to come and bet with you," Qin Bo cautioned.
The nobles did not want to bet on the impotent emperor. Not joining his favorite prince all had tangible benefits.
"No, only five soldiers were left alone. Not enough to cope with the changes that will occur. We'll have to find a way to get the Spirit Stone as quickly as possible." Although Zhao Lingxin said so, Qin Bo couldn't help. No need to ask about the five soldiers he had summoned. These soldiers knew, but the fighting was unable to make a political opinion.
"Yes, Qin Bo, you quickly followed up with Sun Wanping."
Zhao Lingxin suddenly thought of a person by accident. Sun Wanping was his childhood friend. Sun Wanping was the future successor of the Sun Clan. One of the ten famous families of the Dazhou region. Although not the number one wealth is considered to have considerable influence in the Shenzhou Metropolitan City, Sun Wanping is his last hope right now.
An hour later, Qin Bo made a loud noise.
"Sun Wanping appear before royalty."
A young man with a handsome appearance like jade. At one glance, he immediately realized that it was a great young master from one family. Walked in to greet Zhao Lingxin
"Your Majesty, I am Sun Wanping"
Zhao Ling Xin immediately spoke.
"Sun Wanping, you don't have to pay attention to these small regulations. You are my closest friend; it doesn't have to be much of a ceremony. "
"No, Your Highness. If anyone saw it, I would say that I did not respect the Son of Heaven," said Sun Wanping.
"Let me get to the point. Sun Wanping, I need the support of the Sun family," Zhao Lingxin said impudently.
Sun Wanping paused for a moment. He didn't think that the young emperor was his childhood companion. It will be as straightforward as this. Regular times before speaking of the essence Must go through at least half an hour of miscellaneous talk.
A sip of tea followed him for a while. Play around with fun. Then, when the time is right, it will begin to address the desired point. Unexpectedly, the emperor would cut off all the regulations. Immediate mention of benefits
"Your Highness, although we used to be friends in childhood, I must also express my condolences. My Sun Clan has already joined the Third Prince." Finished speaking, Sun Wanping watched the emperor's face.
"It's just as I thought." Zhao Lingxin was not surprised to hear Sun Wanping's answer. His elder brother, Third Prince Zhao Zemin. Business intelligence controls merchants across the land. The Sun Clan, who was the priest, would choose the third prince.
"Sun Wanping, but I need your support," said Zhao Lingxin.
"This is impossible. Your Majesty, you know the Sun Family can't help you." Sun Wanping quickly refused. Even though he is a happy young man But is also a descendant of the family
Naturally perceive some information His companions before the emperor It sounded lofty but powerless. Before long, the Dragon Throne would have to change owners. If the Sun Family invested in this emperor, it would suffer losses and bankruptcy. Political bankruptcy would mean the end of the entire family. There are many examples of people who make the wrong choice.
Even if the Sun Clan wanted to choose the emperor's side, it was impossible to catch up with it. The Sun Clan had been attached to the Third Prince for a long time if moving aside now was equal to betrayal.
Will be hunted for revenge from the prince. Importantly, betrayal in politics will make others hate and do not associate with. Such a big story, Sun Wanping couldn't decide. He was just a successor, not the head of the Sun Clan.
Zhao Lingxin, who had listened to it, was not shocked; he knew that the outcome would be like this.
"Sun Wanping, you can think carefully. The Sun Family couldn't support me. But that person can do it."
"Hmmm. Your Majesty, you mean," Sun Wanping said in surprise.
"That's right, and the Sun Family can't support me. But that person can support me. I can assure you that the day ahead will surely repay you," Zhao Lingxin reassured.
Sun Wanping pondered carefully. A large family wouldn't put eggs in one basket. There is always a risk diversification section. If the benefits are sufficient and not vulnerable to threats, Any interests can be negotiated. He knew that helping the emperor right now was like giving away a piece of coal in the snow.
"Your Majesty, what do you want me to do?"
Zhao Lingxin smiled; he had been waiting for this sentence for a long time.
As soon as Sun Wanping spoke, the other party had already thought of starting to support him.
"I need a lot of spirit stones. Sun Wanping, how many are you?" Zhao Lingxin asked.
Sun Wanping pondered for a moment. He could not understand why the emperor needed spirit stones; these things, despite their high value, were inconvenient to exchange as gold. He also heard that the emperor's narrow pulse was unable to cultivate. Therefore, the spirit stone was utterly meaningless.
"Your Majesty, although I don't have many spirit stones But I am the descendant of the Sun Clan, able to exchange several spirit stones."
Not yet finished, Sun Wanping stopped a little.
He decided to gamble him all the way if the emperor was successful. These spirit stones need not be mentioned. If it fails, relying on the Sun Clan for only a few years can recover the amount lost. The instinct of a businessman is a sense of speed. Therefore, Sun Wanping decided to make the most of his investment.
"I can take out a thousand spirit stones."
Zhao Lingxin's expression did not change, but his mind was almost unbearable.
'The big family is wealthy. Only a successor could take out many spirit stones'
Zhao Lingxin suddenly thought of his treasury. Poorly poor as a beggar His emperor's identity was still rich and could not compete with the noble family master. Fortunately, he has the most cheating system. Otherwise, if left over a month, relying on negative finance. How to run the country? His blood brothers must have pulled him down.
A thousand spirit stones can exchange up to 5 hundred soldiers with weapons, rifles, and ammunition. With these soldiers, he didn't have to worry.
"Very good, Sun Wanping. I accept the one thousand spirit stones you have given me. Any help this time, I will never forget it. In the name of Emperor Great Zhou, the Sun Clan will never go into decline in the future. I promise you." Zhao Lingxin made a promise to Sun Wanping.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for The Sun Clan is ready to see His return to power again. "
The promises from the emperor would have no value if the conspiracy from the nobles were not successful. At that time, the contract was like worthless paper. Empty words But if the plan is successful, the Sun Clan would have big thighs to grasp apart from the Third Prince.
In Dazhou, the land was not peaceful due to various disasters. The great prince controls hundreds of thousands of army in the north. Fully equipped with warlords, war-wise generals, it is the number one choice in the hearts of many people. The First Prince was also a talent for cultivation. There is great power in the army. If not to protect the northern border with the main enemy of Datang, At this time, the first prince would have brought his army into the capital, establishing himself as the next emperor.
The second prince, who is now the baron, occupies the city in the south. Supported by wise men, nobles, most of the capital's civilians were those of the second prince.
The Third Prince is the easternmost of the region and is also the most eastern part of the Yanhuang Continent. There is a trading port far from the central.
Each day there is a caravan. Many cargo ships go in and out. Even without influence in the capital, it cannot be careless. Under the power of money,
At this moment, Zhao Ling Xin was very jealous of his Third Brother. If he has a lot of money, he can summon an army; who will resist him?
Therefore, Zhao Lingxin was greedy at Third Brother's wealth.
The generals of big brother have not yet been able to fight the generals in the system. Zhao Ling Xin examined the system, and the system was able to summon the Chief of Staff of the Military Engineer. These people called from the system were highly educated from the present day. Including science, economics, political science, management
Not to mention a sage, poet, bachelor, and civil nobleman, in the hands of the Second Brother, he couldn't fight the one summoned from his system.
Therefore, the wisdom of money and spirit stones is of utmost importance. It's a simple equation that there is money; there are spirit stones. There is a spirit stone equal to an army. Zhao Ling Xin had already begun to plan to take over Third Brother's wealth.
But first, he must have a solid foundation. It was not enough to rely on funds from the Sun Clan to stand up on this Immortal Martial World.
"Qin Bo"
"I am here," said Qin Bo humbly.
" Tomorrow, arrange a meeting in the morning. Let all the nobles join," Zhao Lingxin said in a cold-blooded tone that he could feel it.
Qin Bo, who had served the emperor for many generations, felt that in the Shenzhou metropolitan capital soon, bloodshed would occur.
