Chapter 396

There was silence all around, and a cold sweat broke out behind Xiao Ming.

At this time, his remaining light swept to the door inside the imperial study, which was connected with the outside.

At this time, if he did not sign, he seriously suspected that some soldiers would rush out immediately and kill him on the spot. After all, this bridge has been staged more than once in history.

In order to ensure the eldest son's throne, the emperor forced the powerful prince to swear not to rebel, but Xiao Ming didn't expect that he would encounter this kind of thing, and would sign the nomination certificate.

However, it can be seen that Xiao Wenxuan dotes on the prince.

"Son Chen sign!" Xiao Ming said almost without hesitation.

Xiao Wenxuan looked at Xiao Ming with satisfaction and said, "Minger, you are the most straightforward person to answer so far. Your father is right this time. It seems that you are not wrong to be the executor. You can rest assured that as long as you sign the certificate of nomination, the crown prince will surely scruple the oath of the certificate of nomination after he ascends the throne. I also hope you can do it in this way, the state of Chongqing will be stable."

In fact, Xiao Ming wants to say that the contract is torn up when it is created. If there is no strong executor, this contract is equivalent to waste paper.

This contract will be very useful when Xiao Wenxuan is reincarnated, because if he violates it, he will face the situation of being killed in violation of the oath, but it's hard to say whether the effect is still there after Xiao Wenxuan's death.

Now Xiao Wenxuan has chosen him as the executor of the petition. One is that he has no background of any kind of power. The other is that he holds Shanhaiguan and has enough chips to threaten other princes.

"My father, my son's ministers have always been divided. I only hope that the state of Dayu can unite to resist the barbarians. I hope that this nomination can let my brothers abandon their past and deal with the barbarians together. After all, with the strength of my son's ministers, I can only defend Shanhaiguan, but it is not so easy to eliminate the barbarians."

Xiao Wenxuan nodded and said, "my father is just for this purpose."

After a pause, he continued: "you made such a contribution. You were assassinated just after you arrived in Chang'an. Now I'm sorry to ask you to make a nomination. Well, tell me what reward you want. I will promise you if I can achieve it."

Xiao Ming doesn't care whether he signs the nomination certificate or not. Even signing the nomination certificate is good for him. What he really wants is a stable development environment. He also wants to unite the strength of the state of Chongqing to fight against the barbarians.

He doesn't want to go around fighting fires as an ambulance man.

Now Shanhaiguan has given him a layer of security. If the princes can be stable, it will be better.

After pondering for a while, Xiao Ming said, "father, my son's minister has indeed made an invitation to Chang'an this time."

"Tell me." Xiao Wenxuan showed his interest.

Xiao Ming said: "I hope the goods of Qingzhou chamber of commerce can go through the Royal fiefdom without any taxes. I don't know if my father will agree."

"This is not the treatment of the emperor merchant." Xiao Wenxuan said.

"Yes, what my son wants is the treatment of emperor merchants." Xiao Ming nodded. On the land of the royal family, only the merchants were not charged any taxes, and no official dared to offend them.

"What's the difficulty? I promised you, but is that really the only thing? " Xiao Wenxuan can't believe it. He doesn't care about businessmen.

"Thank you, father." Xiao Ming's heart almost jumped out. He didn't expect that Xiao Wenxuan would answer so freely.

Xiao Wenxuan nodded, and then he said to Xiao Ming, "it's just a small matter. I think the reward is too small for you."

"My son is content."

Xiao Ming says that he doesn't dare to ask for anything else. In his opinion, this is just Xiao Wenxuan's trial. If he wants too much, Xiao Wenxuan will not be at ease, because it means that he is too ambitious.

This treatment may not be very important to Xiao Wenxuan. After all, Xiao Wenxuan has been emphasizing agriculture and restraining commerce. Because of this, the status of businessmen in Chongqing is so low.

Xiao Ming's reply made Xiao Wenxuan show his admiration again. Then he said to Xiao Ming, "by the way, it's said that you used a new kind of firearm and a kind of thing called hot air balloon in Jizhou this time, but it's true."

"It's true. The name of this kind of firearm is musketry. This time, the children's ministers brought a batch of them. The children's ministers also brought the hot-air balloon. The father can show them to the father at any time."

Xiao Wenxuan was more and more excited. He said, "well, in this case, tomorrow morning, my father will announce the reward to you, and then go to see it."

"Yes, father." Xiao Ming nodded. He didn't care about the rest, because he had achieved his goal.

And Xiao Ming said a few words, Xiao Wenxuan let Xiao Ming leave, and called the eighth prince in.

Leaving the imperial study, Xiao Ming walked out of the palace with a bitter smile.

When he came to Chang'an this time, he encountered all kinds of absurd things, but no matter whether it was assassination or registration, it couldn't interrupt his plan.

As long as he got through the business road, when he returned to the fiefdom, it was the time for his fiefdom to take off.When he made use of the vast land of Youzhou and Qingzhou, he didn't care about the nomination.

After leaving the palace, Xiao Ming thought it was time to find King Yong.

It is estimated that the fiefdoms of the king of Wei didn't run away, and the king of Yong couldn't run away. Now there's no problem in the scope of the royal family. The rest is the fiefdoms of the vassal kings of different surnames.

However, this problem is very difficult, but no matter how difficult it is, he always has to try. After all, the rich land in the south is very important.

As for what chips to exchange, he already has an idea.

In the imperial study, the eighth Prince reluctantly signed his name. After he 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 the king of Qi, other princes are not reconciled, especially the second prince. It seems that there is resentment in his unwillingness."

"The second prince." Xiao Wenxuan narrowed his eyes, he also had this feeling, "do you think the assassination will be done by the second prince?"

Yang Zhen said: "the lower official has sent people to investigate the source of these barbarians, and found that these barbarians are provided by a Shanxi businessman, but the strange thing is that the Shanxi businessman who used to be very close to the prince has disappeared."

"Shanxi merchants?" Xiao Wenxuan surprised way.

Yang Zhen nodded, "the merchants in the fiefdom of King Liang are called Jin merchants. These merchants have the closest relationship with the barbarians. Outsiders can't sell these mixed blood barbarians."

"But it doesn't mean that the second prince did it. After all, many of these Shanxi merchants were barbarians."
