Chapter 440: Balance
Seeing Su Bai's suspicious eyes, Cheng Chumo's black face turned a little red, and he immediately changed the topic and said, "If Brother Xian doesn't come again, I will go to Juxian County to find you!" ”
Cheng Chumo was very serious when he said this, as if he had something very important! This expression successfully diverted Su Bai's attention, and Su Bai asked, "Brother, what's the urgency?" ”
Cheng Chumo nodded, then looked left and right, stretched out his hand to make an invitation and said: "Brother Xian, please also ask the study to talk about it", Su Bai smiled when he heard this, did he learn from himself, he likes to talk about things in the study.
After the two arrived at the study, Cheng Chumo looked at Su Bai and asked, "Brother Xian, you should know who led the troops to fight against the thieves this time!" Su Bai nodded, and then said: "I know, it's Hou Shangshu, Uncle and Uncle Qin."
Cheng Chumo nodded, and then said: "Then Brother Xian, how long does it take for my father and the three of them to exterminate the rebels?" ”
Hearing Cheng Chumo's question, Su Bai was stunned, he looked at Cheng Chumo, and seeing Cheng Chumo staring at his eyes without saying a word, Su Bai couldn't help asking, "Brother, what do you mean by this?" ”
Cheng Chu silently saw that Su Bai did not answer his own question, but asked a rhetorical question, and did not hide Su Bai, and said directly to Su Bai: "I don't know why, I always have a bad premonition!" ”
Su Bai was taken aback when he heard this, but he didn't expect Cheng Chumo to have this sense of smell, and deliberately asked at the moment: "Oh? Why? These three are not modest to say that they can all rank in the top five among my Tang commanders! With such a leader, what is my brother worried about? ”
Cheng Chu lowered his head when he heard this, and after thinking about it, he looked at Su Bai and said softly: "I don't know, but I just have a very bad feeling, I always feel that in this war, I Datang may lose!" ”
Su Bai stood up violently and said, "What stupid things to say!" After finishing speaking, he looked around nervously, apparently afraid that someone would eavesdrop, Cheng Chumo also understood when he saw this, looked at Su Bai and shook his head lightly and said: "Brother Xian, no one is eavesdropping, and I don't mean that it was my Datang who lost in the end, but this war!" ”
Su Bai was surprised for the first time when he heard this, this is something that even a person like Li Chengqian, who is born to eat scheming, didn't find out, how did this stupid and coarse person find out? Could it be that his sense of smell is more powerful than Li Chengqian's?
Seeing that Su Bai didn't speak, just stared at himself, Cheng Chumo thought that he had said the wrong thing, and he was a little embarrassed and smirked twice: "Of course, this is what I said nonsense, I was just worried about my father"
Seeing this, Su Bai sighed, and said to Cheng Chumo's side: "What you said is good, but I can assure you that my uncle will definitely be fine!" ”
Cheng Chumo thought that Su Bai was comforting him, and forced a smile twice and said: "Don't worry, I'm not a child anymore, I know what I should do now" Su Bai said softly when he heard this: "Don't think I'm comforting you, I'm telling the truth!" ”
Hearing the change in Su Bai's tone, Cheng Chumo also reacted a little, he looked at Su Bai and said, "Brother Xian, do you know something?" Su Bai shook his head slightly, Cheng Chumo was a little disappointed when he saw this, but he heard Su Bai immediately say: "I don't know anything, it's just some guesses."
"Guess?" Cheng Chumo came to his senses when he heard this, looked at Su Bai, and hurriedly said, "Brother Xian, speak up and listen!" Cheng Chumo prides himself on being a stupid person, so he wants to find a smart person to defect, only in this way can he not suffer! And the smart person he was looking for was Su Bai! The more he came into contact with Su Bai, the more he could feel the gap between the two!
Although Su Bai's current level is not comparable to some old men in the imperial court, he is definitely no opponent among his peers!
Su Bai saw Cheng Chumo's somewhat anxious appearance, and he didn't plan to sell Guanzi, after looking left and right again, he said softly: "Your Majesty, this is balancing!" ”
"Balance?" Cheng Chumo asked a little puzzled, Su Bai nodded affirmatively, and then said what he said to Li Chengqian to Cheng Chumo again. Cheng Chu's eyes were full of brilliance when he listened, but when he heard that Cheng Biting Jin and the three of them were just bait, he couldn't help but be a little anxious.
Seeing this, Su Bai smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, uncle and the three of them will definitely be fine!" It's not that I'm comforting you, it's that they are still of great use to the court, and Your Majesty won't give up on theirs at this time."
Cheng Chu was a little relieved when he heard this, and after standing up and walking around twice, he said softly: "Sacrificing so many soldiers and people just to uproot the family!" Is it worth it? Cheng Chumo's tone was a little bad when he said this, Su Bai didn't take it to heart, empathy, his father went to the battlefield, he knew that his father was just a bait, even if others guaranteed his father's safety, could he really not worry? Of course not!
Su Bai stared at Cheng Chu without dodging and said, "It's worth it!" ”
Cheng Chumo seemed to be incredible, or rather, he didn't expect to hear such an answer in Su Bai's mouth, he gently rubbed his ears, and asked again, "What did you say?" ”
"I said it's worth it!"
Cheng Chumo ran to Su Bai in two steps and roared angrily, "Do you know what you're talking about!! ”
Su Bai looked at Cheng Chu calmly and said silently: "Of course, I said it's worth it!" Cheng Chu was panting silently, and he could see that he must be very angry at this time!
Even his eyes were red from bloodshot! He stared at Su Bai's eyes and said, "Wang Ugly Niu! At the beginning, we said together that we would do things for the people! As a result, in order to uproot the family now, we will harm the interests of the people! Or even watch them die! You also tell me that everything is worth it? ”
Su Bai nodded affirmatively and said, "Of course!" ”
"You've changed!"
Cheng Chumo roared again, the voice was so loud that the guards outside could hear it clearly, if he hadn't known the relationship between the two, the guards outside the door would have rushed in a long time ago!
Su Bai was not angry, gently pressed his shoulder, pressed him to his side and sat down, and said, "Anger is never a means to solve things!" As soon as Cheng Chumo's shoulders moved, he broke free of Su Bai's hand, but finally sat down.
Su Bai looked left and right again, leaned into Cheng Chumo's ear and whispered, "Do you know why the Li family rebelled?" Cheng Chumo suddenly heard this question, and he didn't react for a while, and only after Su Bai said it again, did he say: "Didn't you say that Your Majesty is not in the right position today, and they want to do the right thing for heaven?" ”
Su Bai sneered and said, "Can you also believe the words on this payment?" ”
Cheng Chu pondered for a while, and then said: "Because our Tang Dynasty has just conquered the Turks now, and the treasury is empty? ”
Su Bai shook his head again, this time Cheng Chumo was a little impatient, shook his head and said, "If you can't guess, you just tell me!" Su Bai said softly: "Because, it is Your Majesty who wants them to rebel!" ”
"You say....!!"
Cheng Chumo was just about to scream, but Su Bai covered his mouth, and Cheng Chumo's eyes glared at the boss, as if he was about to fall!
Su Bai held his mouth and said, "Don't be so loud! Do you want to die! ”
Cheng Chumo finally calmed down, reached out and gently patted the back of Su Bai's hand, signaling that he could give it away. Su Bai saw that he had calmed down, so he started easily. As soon as he let go of his hand, Cheng Chumo jumped up, looked at Su Bai and said urgently: "Brother Xian, what you said is true?" ”
Su Bai nodded affirmatively and said, "That Li Huai who took the lead in the rebellion!" Or did we catch it, don't you know? Cheng Chumo nodded and said, "Knowing is knowing, but this, how can this be?" ...”
He still can't accept this reality, Su Bai saw this and said in a lower voice, "After sending him to the palace, the two masters around me and Wang Xi have been paving the way for him!" ”
"Foreshadowing?" Cheng asked in confusion.
Su Bai thought about it, this matter and Cheng Chumo were really a little difficult to explain, I was afraid that I wouldn't understand what I said, so he said vaguely: "You should think that if you plant a seed in his heart, it will take root and sprout at a certain time!" ”
Su Bai continued: "Children like this who grew up in a living family since childhood, it is difficult for them to betray the family, and their vigilance is also very strong! But you can let him plant a seed in his heart and let him destroy his own family by himself! ”
Cheng Chumo understood a little, cold sweat slowly oozed from his forehead, he looked at Su Bai and said, "Let's two, let's two..."
Su Bai knew what he was worried about, and shook his head with certainty: "We are not qualified enough to join such a big plan!" Except for His Majesty and the Princess, I may be the only one who knows about this matter! ”
Cheng Chumo exhaled a long breath, frowned, and asked puzzledly, "But what good is this for Your Majesty?" I still don't understand, isn't my Datang already a prosperous era now? In that case, why do you want to move the family? Isn't it good for everyone to coexist peacefully? Why did so many people die! ”
Su Bai sneered and said, "On the side of the couch, let others sleep soundly!" This domineering sentence that has not yet appeared in Datang shocked Cheng Chumo as soon as it appeared!
Su Bai continued: "Do you know how Li Huai returned to Zhao County? Cheng Chumo nodded, with his Cheng family's intelligence network, this information was naturally known.
Su Bai smiled: "Then you know, why do I want these three conditions?" Cheng Chumo looked surprised, the other party begged you to do something, it is normal for you to put forward conditions, is there any reason for this?
Su Bai knew that he definitely didn't know when he looked at his expression, Su Bai said softly: "Money, and books, are to make them feel that I am a greedy person and have no conspiracy!" I want Li Huai's right hand because I need to break the current balance of the Li family! ”
"Balance?" This is the second time Cheng Chumo has heard this word today, but he knows that this balance is not the same as the previous balance.
Su Bai nodded affirmatively, and said softly: "Zhao Jun Li family, Li Yu has won the hearts of the people, but the head of the family is biased towards Li Huai, do you know why?" Cheng Chumo shook his head, maybe the father just likes the second son?
Su Bai chuckled and said, "Because Li Yu's practice has broken his body, he can't be humane!" Cheng Chumo was drinking water, and when he heard this, he squirted out a mouthful of water, if Su Bai hadn't dodged quickly, he would definitely have been sprayed all over the face!
After Su Bai dodged away, he looked at Cheng Chumo dissatisfied, Cheng Chumo was choked by the water, and he coughed several times before he got better, and looked at Su Bai with a shocked face.
Su Bai continued: "Li Yu is much stronger than Li Huai in all aspects, but because of such a thing, he can't be the head of the family, do you think he can balance his heart?" ”
Cheng Chumo frowned and said, "But what does this have to do with abolishing Li Huai's right hand?" Li Yu is still inhumane, since this is the case, why not just abolish Li Huai's grandson? ”
Su Bai shook his head and chuckled: "That will make the Li family have no queen, and the angry Li family will definitely fight back wildly!" ”
Cheng Chu said in confusion: "But isn't the Li family also rebelling now?" What's the difference with a counterattack? Su Bai smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Because, there was a little accident, presumably Your Majesty didn't expect that the Cui family would actually come to the door to withdraw from the family!" This greatly stimulated Li Huai, which made Li Huai rebel in advance! It is also because of this that the imperial court needs to balance and eat the family in batches! Otherwise, according to the original plan, in a few years, we can eat the family in an orderly manner! ”
Cheng Chu couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, just because he was two years in advance, I don't know how many more people will die, 50,000? Or 100,000?
Cheng Chu really looked at Su Bai and said, "You said it was all worth it, you tell me, why?" Why sacrifice so many people? ”
Su Bai sighed and said, "Because compared to the alternating transformation of dynasties, this loss can hardly be calculated!" My Datang is indeed a precursor to some prosperous times, so we have to eliminate all internal troubles at this time! ”
Su Bai looked at Cheng Chumo and said, "Now Your Majesty is the Ming Jun of the eternal difficulties!" Determination and courage are not comparable to ordinary people! Who can guarantee that the next emperor will have the same spirit? Shengshi, not only my Datang is accumulating strength, but the same is true of the family! They are like maggots on tarsal bones, if you don't get rid of them as soon as possible, you will only make their tails bigger! Absorb the nutrients of my Datang! Compared with the future of Datang, this sacrifice is now! It's nothing! ”
Cheng Chumo was still a little unbearable, he was not to blame, Su Bai was to blame, these kindnesses were taught to him by Su Bai, but now Su Bai knew it and didn't stop it!
Su Bai Zhengse said: "This will be the last infighting of my Datang!" When this infighting is over, I, Datang, will be able to leak its fangs to those small countries around me! Look, ten years later, the territory of the entire Datang will be expanded by at least half! At that time, there will be no Western Regions, no Goguryeo, and they will become the new state of the Tang Dynasty, just like the Japanese state! ”
Cheng Chu looked at Su Bai in a daze, was silent for a long time, and finally sighed and said, "Don't talk about this, come on, let's drink!" ”
After speaking, he took Su Bai's hand and walked out...... Take a look at the latest chapter of the "Datang Prestige System Claw Book House" to read for free for the first time.
