Chapter 200(2/2)
If the King of Yue knew about this behavior, it would definitely be stopped.
So, Zhang Beichen presented a heavy gift to the local nobles, and the local nobles helped Zhang Beichen cover up the matter.
King Yue also had his children assassinated because of the internal strife in the palace and had no energy to pay attention to this matter.
[As soon as you built a port, you visited the local Wuyue nobles in Yue Kingdom and traded with them. After the nobles made profits, they expressed their friendship to you. Your business grew rapidly and the port became more and more prosperous.]
Zhang Beichen used his identity as a Yue people to buy a lot of land around the leased land, becoming his actual control land.
At this time, he went to the capital of Yue Kingdom to visit Lu Mi, preparing to cause trouble.
...
At Lu Mi's mansion, Zhang Beichen "re-alone".
"There is no surprise to the guests when you come to visit us! No respect and no respect!" Lu Mi welcomed warmly.
After the two of them had a false greeting, Zhang Beichen suddenly sighed.
Lu Mi asked, "What's the dilemma for Brother Zhang? But it's okay!"
Zhang Beichen said: "We rented a piece of land in Yue for mooring merchant ships. But recently thieves are rampant and have set their sights on us. Merchant ships are often robbed, and more and more merchants dare not come to Yue."
"I hope to send some soldiers to defend the merchant ship, but I didn't get the permission of King Yue, so I sighed."
"There is such a thing?" Lu Mi pretended to be angry and said, "Trading trade between the two countries is a good thing for mutual benefit. My brother Wang is too unkind!"
"If it were me, I would definitely agree with this."
Zhang Beichen shook his head and said, "It's a pity that you are not King Yue... You have sinned, sinned, you shouldn't say this."
Lu Mi laughed and said, "It's okay, I don't care so much about it here."
He tentatively said, "If I become the King of Yue, such a small matter can be solved easily."
Zhang Beichen said: "If this is true, I would like to help Brother Lu Mi with his help!"
"Brother Zhang is serious?" Lu Mi said in surprise.
"Natural!" Zhang Beichen said, "As long as Brother Lu Mi does what he says, I can provide you with money and food to recruit soldiers and horses!"
"Okay!" Lu Mi agreed and raised her glass and said, "Then it's a matter of determination!"
"A gentleman's words are as good as hell!" Zhang Beichen promised.
He indeed provided Lu Mi with money and food to strengthen his coup.
But Zhang Beichen did not intend to let Lu Mi ascend the throne. If Lu Mi ascends the throne successfully, Yue Kingdom would only have a civil strife for a short time and would not hurt the fundamentals.
So, Zhang Beichen secretly found Zhu Jian, the current Prince of Yue.
"Why did the Prime Minister Qi come to me?" Zhu Jian was very cautious about Zhang Beichen because he learned that Zhang Beichen had visited his Uncle Wang, Lu Mi.
When Zhang Beichen saw him, he said directly: "Crown Prince, you are about to have a disaster. I am here to remind you!"
"Is that true?" Zhu Jian asked, "What advice does Qi Prime Minister have?"
Zhang Beichen said: "I went to visit Lu Mi, asked him to be a lobbyist, and persuade the King of Yue, so that our State of Qi could send some soldiers to protect our caravan."
"He refused?" Zhu Jian asked.
"No, he agreed." Zhang Beichen said.
"Why did the Prime Minister Qi come to me?" Zhu Jian was puzzled.
Zhang Beichen said: "Lu Mi is insatiable and actually took the opportunity to ask me for a lot of money and grain. Prince, if Lu Mi gets this money and grain, what would he do?"
Zhu Jian thought about it and his face changed slightly. Lu Mi has been restless, and his father, the King of Yue, is now sick. If he leaves one day, it is impossible for Lu Mi to change and seize power.
But given that Zhang Beichen's identity is the Prime Minister of Qi, Zhu Jian still pretended to be calm and said, "Everyone loves money, this doesn't mean anything."
Seeing that he was not on the trap, Zhang Beichen pretended to be regretful and said, "Oh, Prince, you are already in trouble but you don't know. I heard that all three children of King Yue were assassinated. Not long ago, Lu Mixiang
King Yue persuaded him to establish another crown prince but was rejected by King Yue. Maybe, you will be the next one!"
Speaking of this, Zhu Jian finally panicked.
This is also something he has always been worried about. His three brothers died in a row, and he has always been worried about it.
Now that he learned that Lu Mi was recruiting soldiers, he was even more panicked.
So, he stopped pretending to be reserved and asked Zhang Beichen: "I am taking the liberty, please save me! If the sir can help me, I will not be able to do anything about sending soldiers to protect merchant ships!"
Zhang Beichen laughed in his heart. As expected, he still had to compare the various businesses in business, and now he didn't have to pay anything.
He said: "Prince, Lu Mi has been rebelling for a long time. But your father has been seriously ill. If this continues, you will definitely be the one who is in danger!"
"Instead of worrying about being afraid, it is better to take the initiative! Kill Lu Mi and persuade your father to abdicate! When the prince is firmly in the throne, who dares to threaten the prince?"
Zhang Beichen's words made Zhu Jian feel excited, but he was still a little scared: "If you fail..."
