"The king passed away, King Ning died, and now the government is controlled by Zhao Ziming and Prime Minister Chen Yong!"

"Many princes from all walks of life have also received the news, and they are already recruiting wise men, accumulating food and stationing troops!"

Chapter 207 Changing the Zhang Family, Wanting to Raise Troops

After sharing the information with Lin Ye, Lin Yi thought about it again, and then said, "My lord, Luodu is bordered by four cities, so I'm afraid it will be the first to be attacked!"

No wonder he thought so, Luodu's position is really wonderful.

Although it is far away from the royal capital, it can be regarded as the transportation hub and blueprint center of the entire Great Xia Royal Court!

In the land of the Great Xia Royal Court and Kyushu, the capital city of the four states borders Luodu!

The superior geographical location has also created the prosperity of Luodu.

A sage once said: "There are ten buckets of wealth in the world, and Luodu monopolizes seven buckets!"

Although there are some exaggerated elements in these words, it also shows from the side that Luodu has a lot of wealth, ranking first in the entire Great Xia Royal Court.

The most important thing is that Luodu does not belong to any prince!

In Luodu, there are only a few businessmen from aristocratic families, not even a city lord.

Such a piece of fat, it's no wonder that the surrounding princes are not the first to think about it!

After hearing Lin Yi's words, Lin Ye was not moved at all, and waved his hands indifferently: "It's okay, if they come, let them come."

"Yes!" Lin Yi nodded.

Since Lin Ye didn't care, it meant that he had already considered what he said just now.

I just don't know, how far can this young man go?

Lin Yi looked at Lin Ye's back with anticipation in his eyes.

……

The Zhang family in Luodu.

This family also has a very high status in the entire Great Xia Royal Court, because its ancestors had three prime ministers!

One family and three prime ministers made the Zhang family one of the most prestigious families in the royal court.

Even now, even though the Zhang family has lost the glory of the three prime ministers of the first family, they are not lonely.

In today's royal court, there are still many officials from the Zhang family, even if they are not officials with the surname Zhang, they are more or less inextricably linked with the Zhang family.

It is well known that the head of the Zhang family lives in Luodu.

With the court moving into the new capital, the Zhang family has become the master of the old capital for a hundred years.

The other hundred or so big and small families all need to follow the lead of the Zhang family.

At this time, the Zhang family's family advocated being like the world, and they were sitting firmly in the grand master's chair.

On both sides of him, there were more than [-] people dressed in brocade clothes, and they all looked at Zhang Rushi who was sitting on the grand teacher's chair.

Zhang Rushi put down the teacup in his hand, glanced at the people in the hall, and said in a deep voice: "You must be very curious, why the old man called you here in the middle of the night."

Hearing his words, the group of people below all looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Patriarch Zhang, tell me directly, what happened in the middle of the night?" the bold one asked directly.

Zhang Rushi groaned slightly, and seeing that everyone was looking at him, he said, "The king is dead."

His voice was not loud, but the information contained in these words exploded in everyone's mind like thunder!

The king died? !

"Here, the king has passed away..."

"How is it possible? Although His Majesty is in poor health, he received news not long ago that he has found a miracle doctor, and His Majesty's condition has improved?"

"When did you get the news?"

"Just three months ago, what happened?"

"That's fine. I just came back from the capital half a month ago. That genius doctor is a liar, and he was beheaded by Meridian Gate a long time ago."

"Ah this..."

There was a lot of discussion among the people, and it could be seen that they seemed a little at a loss for this news.

Later, a question suddenly appeared in everyone's mind.

What does the death of the king mean?

Everyone here knows what the current Great Xia Royal Court looks like.

Because most of them here run a certain industry that monopolizes the entire royal court, and they almost control half of the royal court's lifeline!

Therefore, they know the current Great Xia Royal Court best.

Above the court, the eunuch Zhao Ziming and the prime minister Chen Yong were basically the leaders.

In addition, the princes of Kyushu have accumulated food for a long time to garrison troops and recruit wise men.

Their ambitions are clearly revealed.

If the king is still alive, they definitely dare not rebel.

But if the king is dead, no one can suppress the ambition of this group of people anymore.

The most urgent task now is to introduce a new king, so as to calm down the upcoming chaos!

Someone soon thought of this key.

"Master Zhang, you asked us to come here, but you already have a plan?" A middle-aged man with a big belly rolled his eyes and asked Zhang Rushi hastily.

Hearing his words, the others immediately stopped talking and looked at Zhang Rushi.

Zhang Rushi glanced at him approvingly, then smiled slightly and said, "That's right, the old man already has a comprehensive plan!"

The middle-aged man cupped his hands and said respectfully: "I beg Master Zhang to give me some pointers!"

"Support Marquis Wu!"

Zhang Rushi spoke succinctly, and stared at everyone present with deep eyes, observing the changes in their expressions.

Support Wuhou?

As soon as the words fell, many people were stunned.

Who is Marquis Wu?

There is only one Marquis Wu among the nine princes in the royal court of Daxia: Zhang Haojun!

That's right, this Marquis Wu is also surnamed Zhang, and he is a serious member of the Zhang family!

Today, this Marquis Wu is reporting on his duties in Pingyang City, the capital city of Tianzhou, which is located in the south of Luodu.

Like several other princes, this Marquis Wu is also accumulating grain and garrisoning troops and recruiting wise men.

Thinking of this, everyone suddenly realized.

They should have thought earlier that the actions of the Marquis of the Zhang family naturally represented the attitude of the Zhang family.

Thinking of this, many people's minds became active, and some of them were even smarter, and they immediately came to their senses, walked forward, and bowed to Zhang Rushi.

"Yang Yuanguang from the Yang family, on behalf of the Yang family, will follow the example of the Zhang family from now on!"

Seeing this, Zhang Rushi immediately smiled.

When the others saw this, they secretly thought that it was not good, and immediately imitated the example, and followed suit to show their loyalty.

"The Zhou family, Zhou Zhinu, represents the Zhou family, and from now on, the Zhang family will lead the way!"

"The Li family..."

Zhang Rushi's old face was squeezed into a chrysanthemum, and he couldn't close his legs from laughing.

"Hahaha, okay, okay, please hurry up, everyone!"

He looked at the crowd and said solemnly: "Since you trust me so much, then I won't be polite to you."

"Starting tomorrow, each family will hand in 100 million taels for the military's food and grass expenses. After this is done, my Zhang family will never treat you badly!"

"I don't know what you Patriarchs think?"

Listening to Zhang Rushi's words, everyone smiled and replied: "Hahahaha, Master Zhang is being polite, it's only 100 million taels, it's a trivial matter!"

When they lowered their heads, everyone's faces were ashen, and their teeth were clenched.

With a smile on his face, mmp in his heart!

One million taels!

Their family's savings for almost several years have been contributed free of charge.

What did you get in exchange for 100 million taels?

Changed to a pie painted by Zhang Rushi!

This old coin!

Chapter 208 Of course I will take your heads

"Hahahahaha!"

Zhang Rushi laughed wildly and looked up at the sky full of stars.

One of the stars is unusually dazzling.

The great summer collapsed, and the Zhang family took advantage of the momentum to rise up and replace it!

After discussing some details, everyone left the Zhang family one after another.

Zhang Rushi stood with his hands behind his back, the corners of his mouth raised wildly.

With a wave of his hand: "I declare that the era of the Zhang family has come!"

However, when his voice fell.

Outside the door, there was a sudden noise.
