"Yes, that's it, don't change it."

Hongtun continued, “Huang Mafa, I will support brother Honghui for the rest of my life.

If we all work together, we can change our future destiny.”

"To avoid any accidents, this is the only way."

……

The Eighth Prince's Mansion.

"My brother, I can guarantee that it must be Lao Si's people."

Lao Jiu gnashed his teeth and said, "I just don't believe that the people of Zhaojia clan are so powerful.

The hundreds of people I sent were all killed by those people.

And none of the plans succeeded.

It’s really hateful.”

"It's indeed a bit strange."

The Eighth Elder nodded and said, “With the ability of Thirteenth Brother’s wife, it is impossible for her to have such a powerful caravan.

This shows that it must be the fourth brother who intervened."

"It could also be the Emperor."

The Tenth Elder couldn't help but express his opinion, "Don't forget that Thirteenth Brother's wife often gave money to the Emperor.

It is not difficult to guarantee that it was the Emperor who sent someone to protect the Thirteenth Brother’s wife’s business.”

"impossible!"

Lao Jiu didn't even think about it and directly refuted, "The Emperor will never easily interfere in business matters.

If the Emperor wants to intervene in the business, he must not choose Zhao Jia instead of me."

"It's normal not to choose you!"

Lao Shi glanced at him and said, "No matter how much business you do, you have never given money to the emperor.

But my thirteenth brother’s wife is different.

I heard that the amount of silver she gave to the Emperor was almost two million.

Ninth brother, you should have never given more than two taels of silver to the Emperor from the money you earned over the years.

Do you think the Emperor will send someone to guarantee your business?

I'm already giving you face by not asking anyone to confiscate your business, okay?"

As soon as these words came out.

The expressions of Lao Ba and Lao Jiu changed suddenly.

For the first time, they felt uneasy, having never thought about this issue before.

"Old Ten, why didn't you tell me before?"

Lao Jiu looked grim, "You should have reminded me earlier."

"What's there to say?"

The tenth brother responded casually, "No one has ever given money to the emperor before.

Only the Thirteenth Sister-in-Law would give money to the Emperor."

"..."

The eighth and ninth brothers were speechless.

"Damn Zhao Jiashi."

Lao Jiu's eyes seemed to be spitting out flames, "I won't let her go."

"She's none of your business."

The Tenth Brother directly responded, "She is doing her business, and she is not competing with you, Ninth Brother.

Brother Jiu, there’s nothing wrong with you bullying outsiders.

If you dare to bully your own family, the Emperor will not forgive you."

"Old Ten."

Lao Jiu was furious, "Are you still my brother?

Why are you protecting Zhao Jiashi?"

"Who said I protected her?"

Old Eleven looked innocent, "I'm just telling the truth, okay?

If Brother Nine doesn’t want to listen, I won’t say anything.”

"you……"

Lao Jiu was just about to say something.

Lao Ba comforted him, "Ninth brother, don't be angry.

What the tenth brother said makes some sense."

Then he said to the Tenth Brother, “Ninth Brother is not targeting the Thirteenth Brother’s wife.

We just don’t want the money she earns to be used by Fourth Brother.”

"Eighth brother, we still don't know whether Fourth Brother has used her money."

The Tenth Elder looked at them seriously and said, "We all saw that her money was used by the Emperor.

You have destroyed her business, which is equivalent to the emperor's source of wealth."

At this point he looked at Lao Jiu, "Jiu Ge, you are a businessman, you must have heard the saying 'Destroying someone's financial resources is like killing their parents'.

What would you do if your source of income was cut off by someone else? "

"..."

Laojiu's face was mixed red and white.

The Tenth Brother added, "Of course, if Ninth Brother can also give the Emperor several hundred thousand silver coins every year, I believe the Emperor will not mind whose business you cut off."

is it possible?

It’s definitely impossible!

Even if the ninth brother is willing, the eighth brother is not willing.

Without money, how could he make friends with ministers?

Without money, how can he do things for the officials below?

Without money, how can he train his own people?

"A few days ago, the fourth brother took Hongtun to see the second brother."

Lao Ba took the initiative to change the subject, "I went to see my eldest brother again.

I don’t know what he wants.”

"I should go to see them on the orders of the Emperor."

Lao Jiu looked nonchalant, "They have all been imprisoned, will the Emperor let them out?

Besides, the second one is useless again and again.

Will the Emperor make him the Crown Prince again?"

At this point, he looked at the person in front of him, “Myna, you must not let the second brother turn over again.

And the fourth one...

We must be one step ahead and let the emperor make you the crown prince."

"Not yet."

Lao Ba shook his head and said, "We have to wait at least a few months or half a year.

Being too eager will only backfire.

Now let's observe how the emperor treats the eldest and second brothers. "

"also."

Lao Jiu nodded and said, "Let's get ready first."

……

Coming out of the Eighth Prince’s Mansion.

Lao Jiu drove away the people around him and said, "Tenth brother, you go back first.

I'm going to do something."

"Brother Jiu, do you want me to go with you?"

"Need not!"

Lao Jiu got on the carriage without even turning his head, and said, "You can go back by yourself."

"OK then!"

Lao Shi watched him leave in the carriage.

He also turned and got into his carriage.

He closed his eyes and recalled his meeting Honghui and Hongtun a few days ago.

Treated the two boys to a meal.

He then heard Hongtun's sighing voice, "My tenth and ninth uncles are so stupid.

One has power, the other has financial resources.

He just flatters the Eighth Uncle who doesn't know how to be a king.

It is doomed to fail and will also bring harm to his wife, children and future generations.

Can't they see that Uncle Ba is not fit to be the emperor?

He has no bottom line and is always obedient to his officials and subordinates.

Even if such a person ascends the throne, he will only be a puppet emperor in the hands of ministers.

Huang Mafa is not stupid, why can't he see through it?

The Eighth Uncle is not suitable to be the emperor in any way.

In order to gain the support of officials and subordinates, no matter what their character or ability is.

Whether he is a gentleman or a villain, it doesn’t matter, I will take everything.

Officials and subordinates who are bought with money can be of no good.

So what if more people support it?

In Huang Mafa's eyes, they are just a mob.

One imperial decree can completely destroy the power that Uncle Ba has worked hard for half his life.

It’s a pity that the ninth uncle and the tenth uncle didn’t want to be emperor and insisted on following the eighth uncle.

The consequence was that their son was released when he was already in his fifties or sixties.

He not only ruined himself, but also his descendants.

Why bother!

Wouldn't it be good to just be a carefree king?

It is better to please your parents than to please anyone else.

Especially since their father was an emperor.

If you please the emperor, you will not only gain wealth and glory, but also benefit your descendants.

They both had a great hand but played it badly. "

These words echoed in my mind over and over again.

The Tenth Master looked gloomy.

He knew that he couldn't stop Brother Eight and Brother Nine.

He also couldn't tell the two that they were doomed to fail.

He can only try to protect himself from now on.

I can take care of them in the future.

"I hope it's not too late!"

Master Shi muttered to himself, “It would be nice if I had the memories of my past life.

A lot of things can be avoided.”

……

Jiu Ye's carriage traveled in the street for half an hour.

Until he stopped in front of a seemingly ordinary pawn shop.

He walked straight in.

Without even glancing at the shopkeeper, he ordered directly: "Send your steward to see me!"
