There will be endless troubles.
But Prince Yu did just that.
Zhao Chenhan said, "That's what Xiong Boheng wrote in his letter to my father."
"Xiong Boheng? The head of the Xiong family?"
The prince's expression changed slightly, and then he sneered: "You were sent by Zhao Jingzhou to sow discord, right?"
Zhao Chenhan shook his head and said, "I don't have that intention."
The prince sneered, "Where do you believe it?"
Zhao Chenhan said, "It's with my father. I didn't take it out because I didn't want to alarm him."
"In other words, you don't have any evidence at all, and you want to alienate me from the Xiong family based on just this one sentence?" The prince sneered.
Zhao Chenhan said sincerely: "Your Highness, why don't you think about it the other way around? What if it's true?"
The prince was silent for a moment, then said, "I will investigate. If it is true, you have performed a great service, and your reward will definitely be rewarded."
The prince said proudly, "The promise Prince Yu made to your father was the Prince of Zhenbei, right? I can give it to you, and I can give it to you directly."
Zhao Chenhan was overjoyed and quickly knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."
"but……"
The prince stared at Zhao Chenhan coldly: "If you dare to deceive me, I will make you regret coming into this world."
Zhao Chenhan pointed to the heavens and swore, "If I tell even a single lie, my entire family will die a miserable death!"
Zhao Chenhan talked with the prince for a while, and then the prince left.
After waiting for a while, Zhao Chenhan came out with some swords.
The news of Zhao Chenhan's night meeting with the prince reached Zhao Lin that night.
"Sure enough, he couldn't help it." Zhao Lin said.
Fu Liqing was surprised and said, "He really dares to do this? Betraying Prince Yu is equivalent to betraying the Zhenbei Marquisate. Isn't he afraid of Zhao Jingzhou's anger?"
Zhao Lin said disdainfully, "Zhao Jingzhou and his wife treat him like the apple of their eye. Even if he betrays them, what will happen? I'm afraid they will take the initiative to find excuses for him."
Fu Liqing shook his head and said, "I really can't understand what they are thinking."
Zhao Lin sneered, "If you can't figure it out, forget it. Such a loving family, I will definitely send them all to hell."
…
Zhao Lin left Beijing to inspect the Maritime Customs Offices in the three coastal provinces on the pretext of concurrently serving as the Director of the Maritime Customs Office.
When the news came out, many people in Beijing were worried.
Zhao Lin can make money, if nothing else.
Look at how much money he made in Jiujiang?
The emperor was stunned by the money.
This time they took the initiative to come to the Maritime Customs. Is maritime trade very profitable?
Isn’t it said that maritime trade is very dangerous, with low profits and often leads to total loss?
But if Zhao Lin is interested in it, it must not be a simple business.
Due to the limitations of the environment at that time, most people had never even seen the sea, let alone maritime trade.
They are all hearsay.
And those maritime merchants will definitely conceal the true situation and spread false information.
This results in people in the inland areas having no idea about the specific situation of maritime trade.
They are still stuck in the belief that maritime trade is not profitable and may even lead to bankruptcy.
…
Zhao Lin was riding on a Qingzui horse, with Su Di and Gong Qiubai on his left and right.
Now that Fu Wenqi became the governor of Jiangbei, he naturally could no longer follow Zhao Lin around.
Originally, Zhao Lin also wanted Gong Qiubai to stay and prepare for the spring examination after the new year, but Gong Qiubai strongly requested to go with him.
He said that he had already learned everything he needed to know, and there was no point in cramming at the last minute. Moreover, the Spring Examination was held only once every three years, and Zhao Lin only had this chance to take charge of the maritime trade.
How can I not learn from it?
Zhao Chenhan and a few others followed behind, looking depressed and listless.
Zhao Lin shouted, "Zhao Chenhan!"
Zhao Chenhan was startled and quickly rode forward: "Sir."
"Take a few people to the front and notify the post station to prepare meals." Zhao Lin ordered.
Zhao Chenhan gritted his teeth secretly.
Zhao Lin actually ordered him to do something that any servant could do.
"I am from the Zhenbei Marquisate..."
Zhao Chenhan subconsciously wanted to bring out his title as the Prince of Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, but when he thought about the person opposite him being the real Prince of Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, he really didn't have the confidence and could only say, "Yes, sir."
Zhao Chenhan led his men away on horseback.
Sudi sneered, "Just find someone to kill him. Why waste time talking to him?"
Zhao Lin shook his head: "Killing him will only make Zhao Jingzhou sad. What I want is for them to turn against each other."
"What are you going to do?" Sudi asked.
Zhao Lin said, "Last night, Zhao Chenhan took refuge with the Crown Prince. The two of them had a secret conversation for half an hour before leaving."
Su Di's eyes lit up: "Zhenbei Marquis Mansion is a supporter of Prince Yu, but Zhao Chenhan voted for the Crown Prince. If this matter gets out, it will be a big deal."
Zhao Lin shook his head and said, "It's useless without evidence. Besides, Zhao Chenhan is still useful now."
Sudi nodded.
Since Zhao Chenhan has already defected to the prince, in order to gain a better position with the prince, he will definitely steal the secrets of Prince Yu and Zhao Jingzhou and tell the prince.
In this way, it would be difficult for Prince Yu to ascend to the throne.
There will inevitably be a war of swords and weapons at that time.
"If that's the case, our Qingzhou army will be useful." Sudi said.
The two smiled at each other.
Chen Qifeng led 3,000 soldiers to guard Zhao Lin, and the remaining 27,000 people were led by anchor Pi Pengxingzan.
Three thousand fully armed men are enough.
If we bring all 30,000 people here, just the food for the people and horses will be a big problem.
The three thousand men were all cavalrymen, carrying the two large flags of Zhao and Qing, and headed towards Qingyuan Province, one of the three coastal provinces.
Looking at the map, the three coastal provinces are lined up in a row, from top to bottom they are Qingyuan Province, Jian'an Province and Lingnan Province.
Zhao Lin planned to inspect from top to bottom one by one.
"Zhao Lin is trying to kill us."
