Chapter 436 436: Working hard to complete KPIs (16) [Ask for monthly votes]
Su Shiyilu’s expression changed again and again.
Finally, it was frozen in a gloomy and murderous moment.
After a long while, he let out a heavy breath.
said: "Yes, the dead are no threat... The fifth prince and the seventh prince have shown their murderous intentions towards me, and they don't know which prince is standing behind them. As long as they want the throne, I will be theirs. A thorn in the flesh.”
The most important thing is that he repeatedly persuaded the king to confirm the twelve princes as orthodox as soon as possible, weakening the power of other princes, and fundamentally offended them all. In the current situation, either he dies or they die.
The confidant’s words exposed Su Shiyilu’s long-standing worries and made him further determined.
"General, there is one more thing..."
The confidant stopped talking.
Su Shiyilu said: "Just say it."
A confidant expressed his worries: "What should I do if the king pursues the matter of marriage?"
After Su Shiyilu heard this, he was silent for a long time.
Why doesn’t he know that this is troublesome?
According to his usual violent temper, he directly told the king that the fifth prince and the seventh prince under his knees had become successful, sabotaging Shiwu's plan against Geng Kingdom for his own benefit, and almost sent him away. This old life can be punished.
But at present, he has no ironclad evidence against the two of them, and there is no one alive. He will hold the two adult princes accountable based on the lines on the corpses. If one of them is not good, he will fall into passivity and even kill the queen. and the Twelve Princes were also dragged into the water.
At that time, the two princes bit back and questioned that Su Shiyilu was old and frail, and his abilities could not keep up with the current situation. He even failed to escort a weak woman to Shiwu for marriage. How could he have the dignity to hold a high position?
Even if it doesn't shake his position, it's still disgusting. Su Shiyilu asked: "What do you think?"
A confidant suggested in a low voice: "It is better to 'show the enemy to be weak'."
"Show the enemy to be weak?" Su Shiyi Lu murmured and pondered.
The confidant said: "The way to use troops is to show them softness and meet them with hardness. Show them weakness and take advantage of them to be strong. General, let me say something disrespectful. Your Majesty, he is also old. He... …Is he really willing to watch a powerful minister like you act so wantonly?”
"Presumptuous!"
Su Shiyilu made a sharp sound in his mouth.
The momentum that hit him made his subordinates retreat repeatedly. Even though he saw the murderous intent flashing in Su Shiyilu's eyes, he still gritted his teeth and said: "No matter how strong the alpha wolf is, he can't withstand the passage of time and the aging of his body. .For today’s king, that These princes are still young wolves, and by comparison, you are the greatest threat! Has the general ever doubted the king? "
"You don't want to live anymore?"
Su Shiyilu had murderous intentions but did not take action.
Because the confidant really hit him where it hurts.
When King Shiwu was at his peak in the Spring and Autumn Period, he was confident that he could suppress Su Shiyilu. He didn't care how powerful or arrogant this "brother" was. The two of them joined forces and swept through all the Shiwu tribes. But, he is old!
Once a person gets older, not only his physical condition declines, but also his "confidence", which will gradually brew and turn into paranoia, longing for the "security" that he once dismissed. The words of my confidant are really shocking...
The person behind the two princes... Why can't it be King Shiwu who has long been indifferent to the public?
If this is the case, many doubts can be explained.
However, Su Shiyilu refused to believe it.
My confidants took the opportunity to kneel down and express their loyalty: "General, you saved this life of the general from the dead. How do you deal with it? I will never complain a word. But for the general, Someone has to say something that is offensive!”
< br>"What is this..." Looking at his confidant with a sincere look on his face, he had many words that he could not say. After a while, he raised his hand and waved, "You go down, I will think about this again..."< br>
“Wei!”
The confidant took the order.
Su Shiyilu was left alone, reminiscing about the friendship between monarch and minister that may have been ravaged by time and slowly deteriorated.
When we walked out of the camp, our confidants were already breaking out in a cold sweat. He almost thought Su Shiyilu would kill him just now. After all, as long as he followed Su Shiyilu for a while, he would know how loyal this boss was to the king. Telling the other person this is much more serious than stealing the other person's father.
“Still alive...”
He touched his neck.
It took several times before I was convinced that I was still alive.
The confidant returned to the camp with countless fears. He did not do anything else, but immediately went to see another person - a scribe, to be precise, the weirdo he rescued. Although this person is shabby and has many rules, he does have two brushes. The confidant also relied on this person's advice several times to climb to the position of confidant, and his official career was as smooth as if he had been cheated.
This statement was also told to me by the other party.
"Have you gone to bed, sir?"
The tent was brightly lit with candles.
A male voice came: "Not yet, come in."
As soon as the confidant came in, he complained: "Sir, you almost hurt me this time. You didn't see the scene just now. , the general almost killed me..."
The man smiled and poured a cup of tea.
Taunted: "Isn't this still dead?"
A confidant said worriedly: "If you don't kill me this time, there is no guarantee that he will kill me next time he thinks about it. The general is out of the picture. He is famous for his loyalty, not to mention his subordinates, even if his son says something bad about the king, he will kill him half of his life.”
He hesitated for a long time and did not dare to say those words.
The man said: "Loyalty? It was true in the past, but people's hearts are the most fickle things. Look, you have said so many treacherous and unethical words, but your general has not touched a hair on your head? It can be seen that his heart has changed.”
My confidants thought about it and thought it was true.
The man raised his teacup and said to him: "I am using tea instead of wine. I wish you a successful career in the future."
My confidant felt relieved after hearing this.
It's like eating a big pile of ice cream in the dog days of summer.
“Hahaha, it’s all thanks to Mr.’s clever calculation.”
My confidants don’t dare to take the credit alone.
The two flattered each other and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Before leaving, his confidant asked someone to give this gentleman hundreds of taels of gold. This gentleman looks aloof, but in his heart he likes yellow and white vulgar things the most. This also saves trouble, as you don’t have to think too hard about what this person likes.
Looking at the neat gold ingots, the scribe rubbed them one by one, as if admiring some rare treasure. After a long while, he put them down one by one, stood up and walked out of the tent. He looked at the moonlight solemnly and lost his mind, his brows sometimes frowning and sometimes relaxing.
After a while, there was a sigh in the air.
"Your life-saving grace will be repaid to me."
The moonlight was silent and no one answered.
The scribe chuckled.
Turn around and go back to the camp, put out the pen and ink, pick up the pen, absorb the ink, and put it down. An article takes shape as time goes by.
After writing, the scribe admired it for a moment.
Muttered with emotion: "If you read it, you will probably say - it is well written, but it is a pity that it is a memorial article..."
[In memory of my dear friend Anwen]
