Chapter 799: 799 one worship
Chapter 799 799 one prayer
After coming out of this room, Zhao Yu's whole person became brighter. He got what he wanted. The chess piece he accidentally dropped before turned out to have the greatest effect at the most critical moment.
Back then, when Nangonghong was a young man studying abroad, the prince Zhao Yu, who was less than ten years old, met Nangonghong who looked like a beggar on the street.
At that time, Nangong Hong was still very down and out, and Zhao Yu, who was the prince, felt pity for him, so he gave Nangong Hong money and let him live in the prince's residence for more than ten days.
With the support of the prince Zhao Yu, Nangong Hong became famous in the capital of Dahua. A few years later, Nangonghong left the Dahua Empire. Ten years later, he traveled to Qi, Chu, and Zheng, and returned to his hometown to live. He went to Bunas again after more than ten years.
Nangong Hong is not a person who refuses to repay kindness. After he became an important minister of the Tang Dynasty, he immediately wrote to Zhao Yu and expressed his willingness to help Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu didn't take it seriously before, because at that time, the Great China Empire was still the largest power in the Western Continent on the surface. Relying on external forces to compete for the throne was taboo in itself, and Zhao Yu did not dare to nod easily.
Moreover, the crown prince of the Dahua Empire, Zhao Ji, also has the absolute support of the court and has never behaved unethically, so Zhao Yu has no chance at all.
But as the Tang State defeated the Great China Empire and became the de facto strongest country in the Western Continent, Nangong Hong's idea of repaying his kindness became important to Zhao Yu.
With the support of a powerful country like Tang, Zhao Yu felt that he had a great chance of winning in the competition for the crown prince.
After all, the military, intelligence, and funds of a powerful country are all huge resources. With the support of these things, Zhao Yu can gain a huge advantage as long as he is not a pure idiot.
Because no matter what, he has the full support of the Tang State, and it is impossible for his father, Zhao Kai, to use all the power of the Dahua Empire to support his eldest brother, His Royal Highness Zhao Ji.
"Your Highness?" One of the two confidants guarding the door saw Zhao Ji's happy face and immediately asked with a smile.
"The matter is settled! Mr. Nangong is a man who always repays kindness. He promised to give us his full support." The joy on Zhao Yu's face could not be concealed no matter how hard he tried.
"Congratulations, Your Highness! Congratulations, Your Highness!" Another bodyguard immediately congratulated: "Your Highness, your great event has been accomplished!"
"Mr. Nangong... promised... to give us... what kind of support?" Zhao Yu's number one confidant continued to ask cautiously.
At the end of the corridor, Zhao Yu, who was about to be completely carried away by the excitement, proudly showed off: "When I return to China, people from the Tang Kingdom will naturally come to visit us... They will provide us with information regularly and help us. Bribe the minister and help us...kill the opponent we don’t want to see!”
"Ah! If that's the case, then His Highness will definitely be invincible and invincible!" The confidant beamed with joy and bowed his head in compliment.
"More than that! Mr. Nangong told me that a drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring. He knew that nowadays we have no funds and cannot gather our own power... so... he took 100 gold coins from me back then, and now he returns 100 gold coins to me. Ten thousand..." As he said, he reached out and touched the "check" in his pocket, and involuntarily made a noise in the elevator.
He actually didn't want to tell his two confidants that he had received such a large sum of money, but Nangong Hong told him to "reveal" the money matter to his two confidants.
Because he said that the most important thing in driving subordinates is to let them see hope. Merely painting cakes cannot make your subordinates work for you willingly. Sometimes, you need real rewards!
This one million gold coins is the feed for these men, the bait that Zhao Yu uses to drive his men to serve him.
Furthermore, Nangong Hong told Zhao Yu that he didn’t have to worry about funds. Since he was determined to repay Zhao Yu, such funds would naturally be inexhaustible in the future.
When Zhao Yu got the money, his whole body was shaking uncontrollably. He had never seen so many gold coins, and he had never thought that one day he would be qualified to fight in such a "rich" battle.
He now only has gratitude and endless admiration for Nangong Hong. How difficult is it for a person to make a promise worth a thousand dollars and repay every drop of kindness with a spring of water?
And Nangonghong did it. Not only did he do it, he also did it far beyond Zhao Yu's imagination: Zhao Yu thought that the other party would only support him verbally, but he never expected that Nangonghong's support was real money. .
This is a true generosity: Nangong Hong not only provided him with much-needed funds, but also provided him with valuable manpower and, most importantly, "force."
Don’t underestimate this. In any country, the most irreconcilable conflict between the successor and the incumbent is the control of force. The successors are eager to control the force, so that they have the basic ability to protect themselves and kill opponents. But what the incumbent fears most is that the successor controls the force, because in this way the incumbent will no longer be safe.
Once the successor comes into contact with force, the conflict with the incumbent becomes irreconcilable. Conflict will break out between the two sides, eventually leading to the collapse of the situation.
Either the incumbent is killed, or the successor is killed. In short, one must die before the situation can return to stability.
So, under normal circumstances, the successor can win over courtiers and raise funds, but will not blatantly develop force. The military will also deliberately keep a distance from the successor. This is a tacit understanding.
Even though Zhao Ji is the prince, he can only do this. He did not dare to build his own armed forces easily, which was Zhao Ji's weakness.
But he, Zhao Yu, was different. He could secretly command the power of the Tang State, simply kill his opponents, and then pass the blame on to the enemy's spies. He did not need to take responsibility for this at all. This gave him a natural advantage on the road to seizing the throne.
Sure enough, after hearing that Zhao Yu had 1 million gold coins in cash, the two confidants became even more attentive.
They knew that Zhao Yu did not have much money before, and his position on the road to the throne was relatively low. But now it's completely different. The master they follow has something that other princes don't have!
It is a very happy thing to follow such a powerful prince, because they are very likely to become the "Ministers of the Dragon" in the future. By then, they will be His Majesty the Emperor's most trusted subordinates, and the benefits they will receive are naturally countless.
The opportunity in life is only once. If you can't grasp it well, there will be no possibility of turning around. They must seize this opportunity, seize this opportunity to become a master.
…
In the room, an old man walked in with a cane. He walked slowly and carefully. He walked to Nangong Hong and sat down where Zhao Yu had just sat: "How is it?"
“Arrogant, brainless, ambitious, and incompetent.” Nangong Hong opened another closed tea cup, filled the visitor with tea, put it on the table and pushed it over.
Leo Ao smiled and nodded, grabbed the tea and took a sip: "It fully meets our requirements, doesn't it?"
“Yes, the rest will be left to your security bureau.” Nangong Hong poured himself a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp: “After all, I’m not doing this kind of thing.”
"But you are very professional, much better than I expected." Leo put down the tea cup: "What? Do you feel sorry for Zhao Yu who helped you?"
"No, because I gave him a dream to seize the throne, and at least a few years of overwhelming wealth, and even... if he does well enough and is outstanding enough, he will sit on the chair of the Emperor of Great China ...This is my repayment to him." Nangong Hong said calmly: "I just can't stand these shady methods."
"Hahaha!" Leo laughed loudly. After laughing, he said: "That's what your Majesty should do uprightly. Be reasonable, follow the right path, promote benevolence and righteousness, and display the flag of hunting... As for me, I am a person who does dirty work. If I don’t do these shady things, who will do them? There are many people like you and Roger who can do those things under the sun. That’s enough.”
He was not angry when he said these words, and his tone was calm, because Tang Guo had helped him fulfill his wish, and he would never have any regrets in his life.
One day in the future, he will lie in a coffin and be buried in the most prominent cemetery in the family, where many people will worship him. His family will be proud of him in the future, and his deeds will be praised by the world with the rise of the Tang Empire.
Nangong Hong stood up, straightened his sleeves, smoothed out the folds of his clothes, bowed solemnly, and bowed to Leo: "Nangong Hong has learned a lesson! Sir, you should follow your own path, Nangong Hong wishes Bon voyage sir.”
Leo Ao didn't dodge, picked up the tea cup and raised it to Nangong Hong, then drank it all in one gulp: "You and I have a good trip!"
Watching Nangong Hong leave, Li Ao sat there without moving. Soon there were more people in the room. These people had no chance to see the military parade in Chang'an City with their own eyes. They wanted to leave immediately and go to the Great China Empire to do something. their job.
"Don't have any regrets. Although no one knows your achievements, the Tang Empire will always remember you..." Leo looked at these young and old faces and comforted: "Go..."
“Yes!” Everyone in the room lowered their heads slightly. They were going to many places to build a huge empire in the shadows.

I'm sorry about asking for leave last night. Long Ling had a party at home yesterday and it was very noisy. Long Ling had a headache, so he went home first and fell asleep. He didn't wake up until 12:30 when he realized that he hadn't written a novel... He had to ask for leave and made everyone wait in vain. I'm really sorry. Things have been quite busy in the past two days, so the make-up will be postponed for a few days. It will definitely be made up, so don't worry.
