"Your Majesty is angry! The body poison is arrogant and arrogant, and a small country actually dares to provoke my body poison, and the minister thinks that he should quickly lead the army to meet it, and then destroy it, and then directly drive straight into the body poison, forcing it to cut the land and sue for peace! As a representative of the Kshatriyas, he said.

Although there is a conflict of interests with the king, the invasion of the poison has touched the bottom line of all of them. If the poison is just to increase troops on the border and capture some cities, they don't care too much about eight out of ten, and if they can completely knock down the prestige of Vesudeva I, it is actually not a loss. But the body poison actually raised hundreds of thousands of troops to attack, obviously heading for the peninsula in the south that it once lost. This was unacceptable to many of the nobles on whose roots they were based.

As soon as these words came out, many nobles who had pretended to be calm before couldn't bear it anymore and nodded their heads one after another. Their backyards could not be defiled by the poisonous barbarians, and they must be defeated as soon as possible.

"Then what do you think should be done to send troops to meet the attack?" Seeing this, Vesudeva I's face was slightly relieved and asked directly.

"If General Sugdi leads 200,000 southern troops to go, he will definitely be able to defeat it." The leading few people among the courtiers had obviously already discussed the countermeasures and had already prepared for it.

A few people drew up a general plan for sending troops in a few words, while the other waves of people remained silent and kept the same attitude.

Seeing the courtiers below looking colluded, Vesudeva I's fists clenched and his joints faintly white. Before he spoke, everyone below had already reached a tacit understanding, and they didn't even give him a chance to choose.

Holding back the anger in his heart, Vesudeva I was accustomed to this, and on the surface he seemed to be unaware of it, and directly agreed to the matter.

At the end of the court, Vesudeva I returned to his palace with a blank face, followed by two figures.

"Deterby, Susanga, what do you think of the situation in the court today?" Vesudeva I changed his angry appearance in the court and said very calmly.

Deterby and Susanga were not surprised. As confidants of Vesudeva I, they naturally knew what kind of person their Majesty the King was. Being able to sit on the throne of the king as an outsider, and still sit firmly on the throne of the king under the pressure of the royal heirs of the previous dynasty, the nobles of the court and the Brahmins, his ability cannot be underestimated. If it weren't for the poor congenital conditions and the fact that the capital was too small, he would not be able to get rid of his puppet status and make a difference.

"It's all expected by Your Majesty, isn't it? Now that the Kshatriya family is dominant in the court, and most of the army is in its hands, Your Majesty, you have no opportunity to speak at all. Susanga smiled. As the chief thinker of Vesudeva I, he was extremely aware of the current situation in Kushan.

"These moths of the empire involve their fundamental interests this time, and they will naturally not ignore them, and it is natural for them to send troops. But it's a pity that it was not Dether who led the troops, but Sugdi. Vesudeva I said with a look in his eyes. His control over the court is indeed too weak. The strength of Brahmanism and the popularity of the people made it so that there were few courtiers loyal to him in the entire court, and Detebi in front of him was one of the rare capable and generals.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, at this time, the court is still controlled by the Kshatriyas, and it is not yet the time for Your Majesty to take power. General Sugdi's ability is far superior to that of his ministers, and although he was born in a noble family, he is more loyal and noble, and will not be too cheap to the nobles in the court. Deteby relieved.

Vesudeva I was silent for a moment, and suddenly said in a strange tone: "You say, if Sugdi's army is defeated, can you ......?"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Detby: "Your Majesty, you must not do this!" Although my Guishan is far stronger than the poison of the body, the decline of national strength in recent years has led to the neglect of war. This time, the poison poured the strength of a country into attack, and it was already in a state of madness, and it was obvious that if he did not win a big victory, he would not return to the country. If we drag our feet and lose the war in front, once the other side seizes the opportunity, in case we go crazy, I am afraid that our country will really be in danger! ”

Vesudeva I's expression darkened, and then he said unconcernedly, "It was just a joke. General Sugdi is so loyal to me, how can I be so loyal to him. ”

As a strategist, Deterby knew in his heart at this time that Vesudeva I was afraid that he had murderous intentions against the obstacle of Sugdi.

Sugdi and Deterby are actually loyal ministers of Kushan, but they are both loyal ministers, but their "loyalty" is different. The reason is that the systems of the Kushan and the Han are different, and loyalty to the country and loyalty to the king are not the same thing. Kushan not only had kings, but also Brahmanism, and there were also Kshatriyas and Brahmins, two distinct and powerful classes.

Whether it is the Great Han of the past or the Great Chu of today, the country is directly linked to the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven can almost completely represent the country. Just like today's Yuan Shu, he follows his words, and he will fight whoever he says, and as long as he insists on any state affairs, no one can stop him, and he is absolutely true to his word. In Kushan, religion and government were almost on a par with each other, and with the Kshatriya class of nobles, even the power of the Kushan kings at their peak was greatly restricted.

Vesudeva I knew that Sugdi was a loyal servant and one of the best commanders in Kushan, but now he was an obstacle to his own power, and if Sugdi did not fall, Deteby, as his confidant, would not be able to take power. The relationship between the two sides is somewhat similar to the relationship between Zhao Gou and Yue Fei, with loyal ministers loyal to the state but not loyal to the king. How to deal with such a "loyal minister" has its own plans in his heart.

"Your Majesty, in any case, this poisonous attack is a good thing for our country and for us. If done properly, it will not only restore the country's strength, but also restore His Majesty to power. Deterby's eyes gleamed.

"Tell me more." Vesudeva I's eyes also lit up and he said with a smile. With a keen sense of politics, he knew as soon as he heard the news that this was a good opportunity for him.

The current Guishan is strangely in a state of equilibrium due to the constraints of all parties, and in this case, he, the king, can only barely maintain the status quo, as a puppet, there is no other way to reverse the situation, and the country is also in constant internal friction. And the invasion of the poison, although it is a crisis, is more like an opportunity than its weak threat level, an opportunity for him to take power and regain the strength of Kushan's former strength.

The shackles that cannot be broken from the inside are broken by the outside world. Transferring the contradictions to the body poison, through the victory of foreign wars, not only re-establish his prestige, but also expand his control over the army, and finally achieve the goal of controlling the court and completely controlling the country.
