Chapter 468: Each has his own scheming
In fact, although King Yue admired Sun Tu's courage and ability before, he really didn't want him to recruit him in such a hurry. But his performance of easily defeating and severely invading Helian Jinshi outside Chengtian Temple today really interested King Yue, which is why he has such a direct solicitation in front of him.
After hearing Sun Tu's euphemistic refusal, King Yue not only did not blame, but laughed: "Qianli really didn't make me mistaken, you are indeed a trustworthy person." But there is a good saying, good birds choose trees to perch, good ministers choose the lord and do things, compared to staying by the side of the fine seal, always follow the king to show your strengths. What's more, do you really feel that it is safe for you to work under the Xi Feng clan? ”
"What does the prince mean by this?" Sun Tu frowned and asked.
"The Xifeng clan is indeed quite powerful in my Xia Kingdom, if you can really get it and use it, this king will not harm your future. But the fine seal often does not mean the fine seal clan, and now the patriarch of the fine seal clan is the fine seal Ye Chang instead of his fine seal Chang. What's more, you have ruined the future of fine feudalism and fine seal Yao one after another in the past few days, maybe the fine seal is often quite grateful to you, but will the fine seal Ye Chang not blame you? Those are all his sons, and now he can only save his life because of you, will he really be so magnanimous as not to do anything? ”
These few words really made Sun Tu difficult to answer, so he could only be silent. Seeing this, King Yue smiled and said: "I heard that although Qianli is often valued by the fine seal, in fact, in the fine seal clan is still only a guest secretary, and there is no official position in the court, isn't this enough to explain the problem?"
"Qianli, this king really values your ability, and I want you to help me do something, but you can rest assured, I have always had a good relationship with the Xifeng clan, and I will never be an enemy of them, let alone embarrass you. So at the end of the day, it's not much different from helping me and helping them, it's only good for you. Why, will you vote to this king instead? ”
Sun Tu's face quickly showed a look of weighing and entanglement, and after a while, he said with some emotion: "It's just that how to talk to the son in the next place?" After all, it's because of him that I can get to where I am today, and it's really inappropriate to leave at this time......"
"Qianli is really a believer, and this king admires it. In this way, since you don't want to be a traitor for a while, I won't force you to leave immediately, you can still stay by the side of Xifengchang, but when this king needs your help, you can do something for me. Of course, I can guarantee that these things will never be directed at the Xi Feng clan, and they will definitely give you enough compensation afterwards, what do you think? Soon, King Yue came up with a compromise plan.
Sun Tu agreed quite happily this time: "Since the prince values it so much, if I don't agree again, I will be too ignorant." If the prince really has any instructions, he should try his best to help! ”
"Good!" King Yue immediately stroked his palms and smiled: "That king of this book really has a difficult thing here, I hope you can help you do it." Originally, this matter seemed quite dangerous, but you have a good chance of making trouble today. ”
Sun Tu had already seen that the other party must have other intentions when he came to find him, and at this time, he really revealed his true purpose. However, he quickly nodded and replied, "Please ask the prince to command." ”
King Yue didn't get down to business immediately, but suddenly asked, "What do you think of the prince?" ”
This question is really a bit broad, so that Sun Tu didn't know how to answer it for a while. After pondering for a while, he said: "Although the prince is wise, sometimes he takes it for granted, such as the measure he advocated to make the Xia Kingdom completely sinicized, I am afraid it is very unpopular......
King Yue didn't expect that what he wanted to say was actually said by Sun Tu first, so he praised it and said, "Qianli really has some insight. How can I completely abandon the various tendencies of the party and the people who are still the foundation of the Xia country? This is not only me, but most of the officials of the DPRK and China have a great opinion on this. Do you know why not many people have dared to compete with the prince head-on in the past two years? ”
Seeing Sun Tu shaking his head, he replied to himself: "This is not only because of his noble status as the crown prince so that I dare not contradict my subordinates, but also because he has the handle of many officials in his hands." Once someone goes against his will and becomes an enemy of him, these handles will become the prince's weapon against that person! Hey, the prince is using this as a threat, and all kinds of practices are really inappropriate. ”
"Is there such a thing?" Sun Tu suddenly sighed in surprise, and then vaguely guessed what the other party wanted him to do.
Sure enough, I saw that King Yue said with a serious face: "This king just hopes that you can take away these handle evidence from the prince's hands, so that he will not fall into the mud!" Now that my father is on the throne, the courtiers may still dare to be angry, but what about the future? When the crown prince succeeded to the throne, his subordinates had resentment because of this, which was definitely not a good thing for my Xia Kingdom! ”
Sun Tu glanced at the King of Yue, who was speaking with righteous words, but he sneered in his heart, what he said sounded good, but in fact, the real plot must be very simple. Either they want to take these things for their own use, and then use them to coerce the ministers into thinking that they are a basis to resist the prince, or they use these to buy people's hearts.
Because if what he said was true, those officials who were held by the crown prince would inevitably be resentful, and at this time, King Yue suddenly came forward to return these things to the other party, and naturally he could win the gratitude of these people, and even gave up on him.
However, since he didn't say it explicitly, Sun Tu didn't mean to break it, but just said with some hesitation: "The prince must keep such an important thing very carefully, how can he get it in the future?" Even if I can sneak into the Prince's Mansion, I'm afraid I won't be able to find it. Not to mention the strong defense in the Prince's Mansion, which is by no means easy for me to touch. ”
"In fact, as early as more than half a year ago, this king had already learned from someone that the crown prince had hidden these evidences, which was within the sandwich wall of the bookshelf on the west side of his study. It's just because I can't find an opportunity and credible right man for a while that I haven't done it. But now, Sun Qianli, you are an extremely suitable candidate, and the time is approaching. ”
"What do you mean?"
"Three days later, my father's birthday will be celebrated, and the prince will inevitably enter the palace to congratulate him, and the defense of the prince's mansion will inevitably be relaxed, plus you have hit Helian Jinshi hard just now, he is the person in charge of all defense matters in the prince's mansion, so as long as you are careful enough, you will be able to enter smoothly." After a pause, he looked at Sun Tu again: "With a thousand miles, you can fight with dozens of elite horsemen and even kill many of them, and you can easily hit Helian Jinshi, this little thing should not be difficult for you!" ”
When he said this, Sun Tu knew very well that he could not refuse. Because this is an extremely confidential matter, now the king of Yue has told him and Pan, if he resigns at this time, I am afraid that he will be regarded as the object of necessity by the king of Yue.
And in fact, even if there was no request from King Yue this time, Sun Tu planned to do something on Li Qianshun's birthday night three days later. Since this is the case, then simply deal with this matter, and even get some help from King Yue's side because of this.
So after hesitating on the surface for a long time, Sun Tu finally nodded with "difficulty": "Since you trust me so much, I will definitely live up to my trust!" But...... I don't know anything about the prince's mansion, I don't know if the prince has relevant preparations? ”
Seeing that he should deal with this matter, a smile immediately appeared on King Yue's face, and he said happily: "This king will prepare it for you." As long as you can help me do this, it's a great achievement. I don't dare to say anything else, after the matter is completed, a fourth-grade military attache will definitely not miss you. ”
After Sun Tu heard this, he quickly showed a look of surprise, and hurriedly saluted and thanked: "That's down...... The lower official thanked the prince for his promotion first! The two of them looked at each other for a moment, and then burst out laughing at the same time, apparently both pleased with the result.
After saying that he would send someone to send the map of the prince's mansion to Sun Tu tomorrow, and once again made a wish to guarantee it, King Yue and Sun Tu separated. And after sending it away respectfully, Sun Tu's gaze quickly cooled: "Sure enough, as I expected before, King Yue is extremely scheming, it seems that he can't bear it anymore this time, so he will think of using me to do something."
"Originally, I was worried that after making a big deal here, I would implicate the fine seal, but now it seems that with the king of Yue in front of his head, the fine seal is no longer afraid. Since you want to replace the crown prince, then I will simply help you achieve your wish in one step, and then it depends on whether you have this life! After slowly exhaling a breath of turbidity, Sun Tu had already turned his horse's head and headed towards the other courtyard of the Xifeng clan.
On the other side, the smile on King Yue's face became more and more unfathomable, and a henchman next to him whispered with some uncertainty at this time: "Lord Wang, can this person really succeed?" The Prince's Mansion is not so easy to enter......"
"It would be great if he could get things done. That's what the prince has held me down all these years, and if I didn't have that, I would have been able to fight it head-on! King Yue's eyes suddenly flashed with resentment, and these words reminded him of some old things, some things that made him a low-key virtuous king.
"And what if he fails and is captured?" The henchman hurriedly asked again.
"That's not a big loss for me, because he's a member of the Xifeng clan. What's more, this person still has the identity of the Liao State, maybe all this is a conspiracy of the Liao people? King Yue smiled, he had already found a way back, so he made such a risky decision. And this has already made several cronies around praise one after another.
The two guys who seemed to trust each other just now actually have their own secrets and intentions in their hearts. I just don't know who will be the real winner in three days......
