After rebirth, I became the stupid son of the Hou family

Before the Xuanwu Dynasty's envoys came here, they made arrangements to meet with the high officials in the court.

When these senior officials arrived, they had already prepared gifts.

However, the purpose of King Wei's coming here was to make friends with Yeluhan.

Because in the Northern Kingdom, he not only held the military power in the DPRK, but he was also the most promising person to ascend to the throne of emperor.

Yeluhan's current situation is quite similar to him. As long as they can connect with him, they will be able to contain Dingyuan Hou and his son who are guarding the north and do not ally with them.

If things can succeed, I believe Liu Gu will hold the military power in the west, and Yeluhan will control Dingyuan Hou and his son in the north.

No matter what kind of shocking events he and Prime Minister Hu Gao cause in the court, the prince has no foreign aid or reinforcements to use.

Now that the emperor is in poor health, it is the best time.

Although Prime Minister Hu Gao has been planning this matter.

But anyone who does things for themselves has their own interests in it.

If Hu Gao is relied on to seize the throne, he will definitely have control over himself by then.

At that time, the power of the Xuanwu Dynasty will fall to the side, and his power will be overwhelming.

Even if he becomes the emperor, he will still be manipulated and coerced by him.

Even if he becomes a puppet emperor like that, he will be very useless.

Therefore, while taking advantage of this trip, he also wants to establish an independent diplomatic circle.

If an alliance system can be established with Yeluhan, he will firmly control the situation in the north.

He thought that when he arrived, Hu Gao had told him that they were running several silver shops in the capital city of the North.

Now is the time to use it for him. He has just arrived in the North Country in the past few days and has no plans.

Why not get to know the situation of these dark banks early and let them use them for your own use.

Thinking of this, he called a few confidants and rode with him towards the direction of Yinzhuang.

A few of them were wandering around the capital of the Northern Kingdom, except for the architectural style. The comings and goings of people and the sound of hawking in the street are no different from the bustling market in the Xuanwu Dynasty.

He found the bank according to the address. Just as he was about to go in, he heard a quarrel coming from inside:

"Where did you come from? You swindled money from us. You also said that you are the son of Prime Minister Hu. Who is Prime Minister Hu? Have you seen him? With your ugly appearance, you dare to tell lies. It's not entirely fair. You should go back to where you came from before you go. If you don't leave, I'll call someone and break your legs."

After the man finished speaking, he heard a familiar voice:

"Hey, you slave dog looks down on others and dares to talk to me like this. I think you really don't want to live. Master, I told you my name, but you still don't believe it. I won't talk to you, a slave dog, so hurry up Call your shopkeeper out. If I haven’t lied to you, young master, I will skin you, this little slave."

The man laughed mockingly and said:

"You are a liar, and you still want to see our shopkeeper. If you continue to cheat here, I will really call for someone to beat you out."

At this time, another man's voice sounded:

"Man, have you ever seen someone so confident in their extortion? Let me tell you, we are indeed people from the south. You hurry up and call the locker man in, otherwise I will have a good look at you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the original voice sounded again.

"I don't understand anything about south or north. You are the ones cheating money, and I am good-looking. Just wait...I told you to cheat money, I told you to cheat money."

As soon as he finished speaking, two people were kicked out from inside.

The two men looked up and saw King Wei standing in front of them, and quickly shouted:

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei."

King Wei glanced at the two of them without saying anything. He walked in under the protection of his two followers.

The guy who had just driven away the two people saw a very stylish young man coming in. He quickly changed his expression, nodded to him with a smile on his face and said:

"Sir, do you have any business to do? Our bank is very convenient for depositing, withdrawing and exchanging money, and the small one can serve you."

King Wei took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to the clerk, and then said to him:

"Brother, please give this letter to your shopkeeper and tell him that I have something to ask him."

The waiter glanced at King Wei, told the other waiters to keep an eye on the store, and then quickly walked through the back door.

Without much effort, a middle-aged man wearing northern clothes walked out.

When he saw King Wei standing there, he quickly saluted and said:

"Sir, are you looking for me?"

King Wei nodded at him and said:

"Exactly."

The man made an invitation gesture to him again and said:

"Master, please come with me to talk."

When King Wei followed the man through the courtyard at the back and came to the house, the man bowed deeply to King Wei again and said:

"Your Majesty, Wang Gui, has met His Highness the King of Wei."

King Wei helped him up with his hands and said to him:

"Shopkeeper Wang is exempt from the gift."

"Thank you, His Highness King Wei."

"Shopkeeper Wang is here. How many years has he been running the bank?"

"I came here with the old shopkeeper when I was twenty-three years old, and now I am in my forties. Ten years ago, since the old shopkeeper passed away, I began to be officially responsible for taking care of everything here. Now I count on my fingers, I have been here for more than 20 years.”

King Wei continued to chat with him:

"So, are your family all here, or are they in the Xuanwu Dynasty?"

"My wife and children have come here from this dynasty a long time ago. We are currently living here."

"That's good. It saves us from being separated from each other and unable to take care of my wife and children. I'm here specially to visit Shopkeeper Wang this time. Maybe you already know that I'm on an envoy to the North Kingdom on the emperor's orders. I want to visit the DPRK. These high-ranking officials must use silver coins. Therefore, Shopkeeper Wang, you must go all out to support me."

Shopkeeper Wang quickly said to King Wei:

"King Wei can rest assured about the funds. I have been running the business for so many years. I can't say that I am as rich as the country. However, the money for giving gifts is indispensable to King Wei. But after all, this is a bank affiliated to the Jinzou Academy. As long as there is a handwriting on it, I will You must go all out and have your back up.”

When King Wei heard this, the smile on his face immediately solidified.

Shopkeeper Wang seemed to be strongly supporting him, but he moved Jinzouyuan out.

This Jinzouyuan has always dispersed intelligence personnel to various places to run banks. Then they secretly collected intelligence as a business. In the past, they were directly under the command of the emperor, and later the cabinet was also involved.

Because the gift he wanted to give to Yelühan this time was not taken from the official gifts from the mission.

Although some of the gifts registered in it were given to Yeluhan, after all, they were official gifts, which were completely different from private gifts.

He wanted to make acquaintance with Yeluhan privately, but how could he impress him if he had nothing to offer.

Thinking of this, he said to Shopkeeper Wang:

"Shopkeeper Wang, isn't it Prime Minister Hu who is in charge of Jinzouyuan? I have Prime Minister Hu's handwriting, isn't it more useful than Jinzouyuan's handwriting?"

Shopkeeper Wang had a troubled expression on his face.
