Chapter 461: Exploiting and Being Exploited
Dongfang Shuo looked at the calm hot tea in the cup in front of him and was silent for a moment.
After a moment, he looked up at the Six Princes.
"The two of them take victory and defeat lightly. Dongfang Shuo said, "But since you don't care about victory or defeat at all, then today, why did your Royal Highness the Sixth High Speed stop me on the way to the emperor summoning me, and you have to see me?"
The sixth prince picked up the teacup.
Take a sip and put it down.
"As I said, I miss it for a long time. The sixth prince smiled.
Dongfang Shuo narrowed his eyes: "Why don't you let me guess?"
As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly fell silent.
The sixth prince didn't say another half a word.
Then, Dongfang Shuo said: "Today, the emperor summoned me to the court, and he should reward me for his meritorious deeds, and I already knew the content of the reward yesterday. In this way, the sixth prince has not given up yet, and still intends to win me over?"
"One yard to one yard. ”
The sixth prince said, "At least the two of us are similar in concept. ”
"How is it the same?"
Dongfang Shuo asked without moving.
When he asked this, a cold color appeared in his eyes.
Obviously, he himself did not agree with the Six Princes.
After all, although both aim to break the existing rules, the reasons for this are completely different from the picture they want to see.
After the six princes broke the rules, they wanted to establish new rules, and that was to be the real strong. In doing so, you may be able to create a rule that relies on your own strength, but in the long run, it is just a reshuffle.
And Dongfang Shuo wants to break the rules for the sake of Su He, who shouldn't be damned. Whether it is to look at the background or talent, such a rule will inevitably be repeated by countless 'Su He' one after another.
"At least, we don't want to see gate valves. The Sixth Prince said.
Hearing this, Dongfang Shuo fell into a short silence.
After silence, he slowly stood up as he propped himself up on the table in front of him.
"But while I don't agree with the existing rules, I don't agree with the rules you envision. ”
Dongfang Shuo said bluntly.
Between the words, it was cold.
Listening to his cold tone, the six princes slowly stood up.
"I understand that Su He's death has made you hold a grudge to this day, but even if you don't approve of me, I won't think that I did anything wrong. The six princes who got up walked around the table, showing a posture of opposition to Dongfang Shuo, "It is God's injustice to him to be born as a weakling, I just gave the weak a proper destination." ”
"Huh. ”
Dongfang Shuo sneered, "You still think that the lives of the weak can be at the disposal of the strong, what is the difference between such an idea and those people?"
"Mr. Dongfang, you are about to enter the court, so don't say such childish remarks again. ”
The Six Princes still held on to their opinions.
On Dongfang Shuo's side, his eyes sank slightly, and then he said resolutely: "Before the old forces end, I don't mind joining forces with you temporarily." But once the old forces of the Dragon Forest Empire are destroyed, then I will be your new opponent. At this point, his gaze glanced at the crown prince in front of him, intentionally or unintentionally, and then continued, "I am different from him, and I will not defeat you." ”
As soon as the words fell, he turned and left.
When he opened the door of the palace and strode away and walked out, no one stopped him, and neither the six princes nor the former crown prince gave orders.
And when he really left, the six princes actually breathed a sigh of relief.
"How do you seem to be relieved?" the former prince suddenly quipped, "I'm afraid this person is a little dangerous, isn't he?"
"At least now that my goal has been achieved, and he can be my right-hand man for the time being, that's enough. The sixth prince unceremoniously sat down on the ground in front of the low table, then turned his head to look at the former prince, "As for the rest, leave it to Heaven's will." ”
"When you fought with me, did you also have this kind of Buddhist attitude?" At this point, the former prince sighed, "I lost to someone like you, it's really a pity to think about it now." ”
But at this time, the sixth prince shook his head with a smile and said, "No, I am serious about you, because I know that I will win." Moreover, it is true, if I had known that my mouth alone could drive you to the point where you are now, why would I have to go to such great lengths to fight you for ten years?"
These words made the former prince stunned.
Subsequently, the former prince also gave up: "You have always been poisonous to me, and it is not much different from that Dongfang Shuo, forget it, I don't fight with you, anyway, I am a rich man now, but I am also happy to be idle." ”
At this time, the six princes raised their heads to the sky.
"You're idle, I'm afraid you're busy. ”
As the words fell, a deep look appeared in his eyes.
......
Arriving outside the hall, the court meeting was still going on.
However, Gonggong Xiao, who originally brought Dongfang Shuo into the palace, saw that Dongfang Shuo was coming, so he arranged for him to wait outside the palace, and hurriedly went in to inform the emperor.
About two quarters of an hour later, a mountain cry sounded, and Dongfang Shuo entered the Hajj.
After some courtesy, the emperor did not drag the mud and water, and directly rewarded Dongfang Shuo for his meritorious deeds.
And the content presented, such as Shang Guogong and General Shang Guo, this title and position, is exactly the same as what Xu Changsheng told him yesterday.
Today's entry into the court is to announce to the world.
But in addition, there are bits and pieces such as spirit crystals and mansions.
"Minister Dongfang Shuo bowed and thanked Your Majesty. ”
After completing the reward, Dongfang Shuo knelt in accordance with the ceremony.
However, Dongfang Shuo assumed the position of a general, and the general was a person who was born and died for the empire, so according to the imperial etiquette, the general's salute should be three points lighter, so the courtier's bow to Dongfang Shuo only needs to kneel on one knee.
"Lu Aiqing. ”
Dongfang Shuo was about to bow his head, but the emperor above the court suddenly opened his mouth.
Before the words fell, Dongfang Shuo felt an aura come out of the team behind him, and walked straight to his side and stood still. Holding a wooden stick, as a salute.
Dongfang Shuo didn't raise his head, but he felt a trace of pressure inexplicably.
"The minister is here. ”
The minister surnamed Lu answered.
The emperor said: "In the battle of the spiritual realm, the son of Aiqing did not fail in his mission and died heroically. The empire has lost a love talent, and the widow has not thought about tea and dinner these days, only thinking about how to make up for the empire's debt to your Lu family. After thinking about it, the widow finally came up with a result at dawn today. ”
At this time, the servant beside him was silent, and Dongfang Shuo, with his keen insight, knew that he always hung his head without looking up.
And vaguely, he felt a deeply suppressed anger from this minister's body.
After thinking about it, the emperor said, 'Lose a love talent', then this Lu Chengong's son should be dead.
There were countless casualties in the battle of the Spirit Domain, why did the emperor pull out this person alone?
"The widow decided to posthumously crown Lu Yanzhang as the marquis of Zhenguo, and give the 'Loyal and Brave General Order' to be passed down by the Lu family from generation to generation, and from today on, the widow will also fast for him for seven days. ”
The Emperor said.
