Chapter 4 No, Why Are You Kneeling?
Well? Wang Guo almost stumbled at his feet.
No, as an anti-thief, shouldn't you force the palace to usurp the throne at this time?
Jiang Shen, you turn back! Look at your heroic soldiers!
Look at the ragged forbidden army of the widow!
Don't you want to get this throne at your fingertips?
I have such high hopes for you, why did you kneel?
Wang Guo frowned, and found that things were not simple.
But the brows furrowed for a second, and then they relaxed.
Ah, it turns out that this Jiang Shen hasn't fallen yet, and he's still outout! is still a widow's minister!
It turns out that what Jiang Shen did was acting!
After all, the name of a rebellious minister and thief is not comfortable for anyone. Therefore, if Jiang Shen wants to usurp the throne legally, the best way is to let Wang Guo take the initiative to concede!
Wang Guo remembered that when Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty, he also asked Emperor Han Xian to give him Zen concessions, and he also humbly refused three times, and did his best to become the emperor.
This kind of routine, throughout the ages, is no exception!
So when Jiang Shen reached the critical moment, he knelt down instead, doesn't this just show that he decided to usurp the throne?
I understand, I understand! Wang Guo's eyes were full of relief.
Although this process may be a little more troublesome, as long as the widow can return to the real world safely and act on the spot, what does it matter?
Wang Guo took the reassuring pill, was in a good mood, hurriedly helped Jiang Shen up, patted him on the shoulder very affectionately, and said, "Let's go, talk in the main hall." ”
Jiang Shen felt Wang Guo's enthusiasm, and his heart was full of emotion.
Who said that the king is a faint king! Who said he rejects loyalty!
He was originally a loyal minister loyal to Haiguo, but in the court, a traitor like Zhen Aishi was in charge, which made the people miserable, so he had to rebel and come to a "Qing monarch's side"!
As a result, at the critical moment, Wang Shang was still able to see everything and decisively rejected Zhen Aishi's conspiracy to send troops to resist!
When the two sides fight each other, aren't all the injuries being the strength of the sea country?
So the king had already thought about this, so he deliberately did not resist, and even sent Shang Yong to come, saying that he was willing to surrender!
In this way, Ming Jun, who caused damage in order to avoid the civil war, must have guessed his little pediatric trick a long time ago!
Therefore, when he broke into the gate of the main hall with five hundred soldiers, the ministers were furious, but the king did not panic at all!
So when he knelt down, the king first frowned briefly, meaning to reprimand him for being so nonsense, and then his eyes were full of relief, indicating that the king recognized his lost way!
Oops, I, Jiang Shen, how can I be so confused!
Jiang Shen couldn't help but be frightened, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
The king must have his own arrangements, so why should he raise troops and advise! It's good that I have lost my way back, otherwise I would not have missed the king's great affairs!
Wang Guo looked at Jiang Shen, whose body suddenly trembled, with a smile in his eyes.
Isn't it, excited?
Soon you will be the monarch of the Sea Country, so your body trembled with excitement!
That's right, the widow is about to return to reality with 300,000 taels of silver!
Jiang Shen looked at Wang Guo's happy expression and nodded secretly in his heart.
Sure enough, his speculation is correct, once he is lost, look at the happy expression of the king!
……
The two of them had their own concerns, and the group immediately entered the main hall and sat down.
In the column on the left, there is a group of old ministers led by Zhen Aishi, who are the representatives of the Sea Kingdom; In the column on the right is the rebel army led by Jiang Shen. Wang Guo naturally sat in the position of the monarch and was in the center of the head.
In fact, Wang Guo was very tired of this set of procedures, and if he could, he would like to give up this position to Jiang Shen now......
But Jiang Shen's hint was already obvious before, he was going to go through a set of Zen procedures, so on the surface, at this time, Wang Guo still had to sit in the position of the monarch.
"Hey, it's so hard to give up a position, it's really rare to see a conscientious monarch like me." Wang Guo patted his chest and couldn't help but praise himself.
And in the column on the right, Jiang Shen couldn't wait to tell his most trusted advisor about his discovery.
"What? Mingjun? The strategist's face couldn't help but change for a moment, and then he smiled, "General, you are really worried, don't you know what virtue our king has?" ”
"If he can fight, he must fight!"
"But right now, with the strength of the forbidden army, fighting with us is just hitting a stone with an egg, and using a mantis arm as a car!"
Seeing the strategist in front of him so categorically, Jiang Shen, who was originally deeply moved, also fell into confusion for a while.
Could it be that I would have been mistaken?
The strategist laughed: "To fight a war is to fight for money." Look, general, since you want to fight, which is not a huge expenditure on weapons, food, grass, and military salaries? If you don't have money, how can you fight? ”
Jiang Shen nodded, feeling that the strategist had some sense.
But he was still not at ease, and continued to ask: "You say, if the king really wants to quell the rebellion, how much money will it cost?" ”
The strategist shook his head and said, "Suppressing the rebellion requires at least 30,000 troops, and it will last at least half a year. According to the five denarii of silver each person per month, this is ninety thousand taels; Before the war, we had to get another 10,000 taels, and we had to build fortifications with 50,000 or 60,000 taels, plus grain, grass, and other operating ......."
"At least 300,000 taels are needed!" The advisor was unequivocal.
"Three hundred thousand taels?" Jiang Shen smiled and shook his head.
If the king can have 300,000 taels of silver, he Jiang Shen is willing to take a 360-degree spiral handstand bath!
He also knows something about Haiguo's family background, and it is true that the treasury is empty.
The area of Haiguo is only as big as three county seats, where to apportionment 300,000 taels of silver?
Saved before?
Don't make trouble, if Wang Guo is so rich, why did he force the people to resent?
"Therefore, the general must not be deceived by some of the king's methods. You must be in charge of this sea country! The advisor said.
"Hmm......" Jiang Shen twisted his beard and was thinking, but he looked up at the center of the head.
I saw Wang Guo leaning sideways on the throne, his eyes smiling and full of expectation, looking towards him.
Hey, how can the king still be full of expectations? And with a smile in his eyes, there seems to be a sense of encouragement?
Jiang Shen's chest tightened violently. What do I encourage? Did the king see me talking with the counsellors and encourage me to rebel?
No, how can a monarch encourage his courtiers to rebel.
Jiang Shen thought hard and comprehended the meaning in Wang Guo's eyes.
Ah, I see! Jiang Shen slapped the table, and cold sweat broke out on his head. This is the contempt of the king!
The king is so fearless, he must have a tough hole card, and he is not afraid that I will force the palace!
At this moment, suddenly a soldier ran in at the door, knelt down on one knee and shouted: "Report - the treasury has found 300,000 taels of silver!" ”
