Chapter 403 Su Wuji’s helplessness
“What do you think?”
Su Wuji and Xiao Mu led the Nanli cavalry to slowly drive the carriage, passing by the middle of the continuous military camps of the Western Qin Dynasty. Looking around, this group of Western Qin soldiers seems to be more elite and stronger than the Western Qin soldiers fighting in the south.
Xiao Mu looked around and said with a smile: "The troops are solemn, majestic, and murderous. The Western Qin Army deserves to be the best in the world!"
"I'm talking about Jiang Yuqing. People!”
Su Wuji glanced at the carriage in front of him, and a hint of hatred flashed across his face again.
Xiao Mu’s expression became much more serious, and after careful consideration, he said: “My nephew feels that although Jiang Yuqing is young, he is very talented and strategic, good at military strategy, well behaved, and has first-class martial arts talent. Although it is inappropriate to rebel against the Zhou Dynasty and kill the king in vain, I am afraid that no one in the world can deny that this man is a hero in the world!"
"Do you really think so?" Wuji smiled lightly.
Xiao Mu shook his head and said: "Okay, to be honest with you, your Majesty, even if the seniors in the world say that Jiang Yuqing is a tycoon and a martial arts monster who can surpass an era, I actually don't think so."
"Oh?"
"The prosperous age of martial arts is coming, and even my ancestors from Tianji Pavilion don't know what will happen. Warriors in the world are concentrating on practicing, waiting for the future. Although Jiang Yuqing has good martial arts talent, he is dedicated to conquering the world and fighting for power, so he will inevitably fall behind! Especially! How can such people achieve higher achievements because they have been polluting their souls on the battlefield all year round and are guilty of killing the king?
In terms of strategizing the world, we warriors are not as good as him, but in terms of martial arts, even if His current fighting power is astonishing, and the geniuses from all the major sects still look down upon him!
If you don’t believe me, just look at it, what will this person do if the martial arts flourishes come? It's not necessarily better to be young and old, just a common man!"
"Haha."
Su Wuji looked at the city gate and smiled.
Xiao Mu hesitated for a moment: "I wonder how the king would evaluate this person?"
Su Wuji shook his head and said: "I don't make any evaluation!"
He suddenly didn't know how to evaluate Jiang Yuqing. , maybe only one word can be used to describe it-
Weird!
Strange monster!
"Creak..."
The Shenwu Gate in front suddenly opened wide.
Xiao Mu said with a smile: "I'm afraid the officials in the imperial capital knew that the prince was coming, and opened the city to greet him. With the prince sitting in charge, the new emperor will be more confident!"
"I heard that Jiang Yuqing Already with the late emperor Regarding the peace talks and the details of the withdrawal of troops, I have to go to the capital to ask. I still need to discuss the conditions for the withdrawal of troops from the Western Qin Dynasty with Jiang Yuqing!"
Su Wuji stroked his beard and then went down. For a moment, there was a pause.
I saw countless grain and silver carts emerging from the city gate. Soldiers and corvees pushed them with difficulty, winding and circling until they reached the depths of the capital.
Dozens of eunuchs and officials from the Ministry of Rites came in a hurry.
“What happened?” Xiao Mu was puzzled.
Su Wuji had already jumped on his horse and stopped a group of officials from the Ministry of Rites: "Where are you going? What are you doing?"
The officials looked at him in surprise and suddenly recognized Su Wuji's face lit up and he saluted quickly: "It turns out that the prince has arrived, and I'm waiting for you... Prime Minister Zuo is behind you. The prince asked the Prime Minister if you are ready!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a large number of guards in the city surrounded an old man in purple robes and hurried over. He was so far away that he was surprised and said: "Brother Su Xian!"
Su Wuji looked at Feng Sihu with a bad feeling. ask He said: "Zuo Cheng, where are we going?" Feng Sihu came closer, tightened the reins of his horse, and sighed heavily: "The ceremony of your majesty's enthronement is about to come, but the Qin soldiers are still watching with eager eyes and threatening them several times. Peace talks with the late emperor need to be done Promise quickly, otherwise the thieves will keep coming to the city, and the enthronement ceremony will become a joke. We are willing to use money and fame to buy peace."
Su Wuji's face showed a hint of difficulty. With suppressed rage, Xin Zhuo actually underestimated his feelings for Da Zhou. He and Emperor Tianzhu shared the same mother's milk and were brothers and sisters. Although the late emperor weakened his military power, he would still call him uncle in words and king in writing. Much respect. As the new king ascends the throne, he needs to take charge of the Great Zhou Dynasty. How can he accept the humiliating behavior in front of him?
He even regretted rescuing Jiang Yuqing. Who could have expected that boy could do such a big job?
"What exactly does Qin Thief want?"
"Let's talk about it later..."
Feng Sihu bowed his hands and left. He had thought about relying on Su Wuji to bargain, but he just thought of Nan Li The army was also beaten miserably by the Western Qin Dynasty, and they no longer had the slightest interest.
Su Wuji looked at Feng Sihu's group of people leaving in the distance, and stopped in place, unwilling to leave. He wanted to take a look and listen to what kind of bargaining chip Jiang Yuqing wanted.
Xiao Mu turned his horse's head and looked at it the same way.
I saw Feng Sihu leading a large number of eunuchs and officials from the Ministry of Rites to the Western Qin army camp. Jiang Yuqing had just returned, with her long hair disheveled, eating grapes by herself, and her unruly attitude was outrageous.
Zuo Cheng Feng Sihu didn't take it seriously. He opened the imperial edict and read out according to it: "Your Majesty's edict says:..."
First he praised the Western Qin Dynasty, and then he praised Jiang Yuqing. It was simply He is praised to the heavens, his loyalty is unparalleled, and he is the pillar of the world. Liang, focusing on the death of the treacherous minister Linghu Pi, the Western Qin Dynasty stopped fighting and made peace, and then officially named Jiang Yuqing the King of Qin in the Great Zhou Dynasty. All the expenses were reimbursed by the imperial court.
After it was over, the dignified Zuo Cheng Feng Sihu knelt down to Jiang Yuqing and raised the imperial edict.
Has there ever been a prime minister in the world who knelt down and begged the rebels to accept the imperial edict?
The majesty of the imperial court and the dignity of the new emperor were completely thrown into the dust at this moment.
"Jiang Thief! You've gone too far!"
Su Wuji couldn't bear it anymore, and the prancing horse was about to step forward.
"Dad!" The curtain of the carriage in front suddenly opened, and Su Miaojin stopped him urgently.
“What do you want to do?”
In the face of family and national affairs, Su Wuji no longer had his father's love, and said coldly: "My father has always thought that you are a good girl who knows right from wrong and is sensible, but how can you help Jiang Yuqing again and again?" This rebel?"
"My daughter did not side with him!" Su Miaojin said solemnly: "My daughter just asked my father, can you resolve the dispute between Jiang Yuqing and the late emperor? Is it a dead end? The late emperor trapped Jiang Yuqing to death several times, and Jiang Yuqing rose up to resist. Who can tell what is right and wrong?
The world's affairs have come to an end. Everyone is happy when the imperial court compromises and the Western Qin Dynasty compromises. The situation is what the father should do at the moment, so why destroy this delicate balance?"
Su Wuji couldn't help but fall silent.
Xiao Mu’s eyes flickered and he said with a smile: “Jin’er is absolutely right, please think twice.”
"Senior brother, you don't need to call me that. You and I are just from the same school. Just call me Su Miaojin!" Su Miaojin seemed to be repelled. She lowered the car curtain and spoke in a cold voice.
Xiao Mu smiled noncommittally, looked back at Xin Zhuo, and frowned deeply.
“Forget it!”
Su Wuji sighed quietly, reined in his horse and entered the city gate. His figure was shabby, as if he had aged a few years.
He felt that what his daughter said was very reasonable and he couldn't change anything.
