Chapter 204: Softening step by step
A month later, the edict of the Zhou royal family to canonize Prince Zhao as the new monarch also came down.
Under the management of Liu Tong, the monarchs and ministers of the scattered countries jointly held a grand inauguration ceremony for Ji Zhao. After taking office, the original Prince Zhao also changed his name to Sangong Zhao.
Originally, Liu Tong asked the monarch Ji Zhao to reward the meritorious ministers on the spot after the inauguration ceremony of the monarch, but Ji Zhao politely refused, the reason is that the inauguration is the inauguration, and the reward is the reward.
For more than a month, Ji Zhao has been very cooperative with Liu Tong's various requests, and the relationship between the monarch and the minister is okay, so Liu Tong also agreed to Ji Zhao's proposal.
But this time, Liu Tong really underestimated this San Gongzhao, who had just succeeded to the throne.
After more than a month of careful observation, Ji Zhao has found that Liu Tong and Shi Camel are not as close as they imagined, except for mutual use, the interaction between the two is actually very rare.
So on the night of Ji Zhao's inauguration, Ji Zhao invited the stone camel into his palace.
"The last general will meet the king." After seeing Ji Zhao, the stone camel bowed.
"General Shi, please get up, get up." San Gongzhao stepped forward to help the stone camel with both hands, and asked him to sit down in front of the desk in front of him, "Please sit down, please sit down." ”
Although Shi Camel came to spy on Ji Zhao, after all, he is the monarch and he is a courtier, so the due courtesy of the monarch and the minister still has to be carried out.
Seeing that Ji Zhao was so polite to himself, Shi Camel was a little embarrassed, "Your Majesty is here, how can I sit, it's better to stand and talk." ”
San Gongzhao smiled and said: "General Shi is too polite, although I am the monarch of the scattered country, but I am a monarch who doesn't care about things, and it is not as good as you as a general who has real power." If you are more polite, you will look down on me as a king. ”
Ji Zhao told Shi Camel about his situation very sincerely, and Shi Camel felt that it was a little undeserved, "Where did the monarch say this, I am a courtier, where do I dare to compare power with the monarch." ”
From Shi Huo's words, Sangongzhao knew that the other party had slowly softened, so he asked, "The general is a native of Sanguo?" ”
As soon as Ji Zhao asked, Shi Camel immediately realized that there was something in this, could it be that he not only wanted to kill me, but also kill my whole family, so he asked rhetorically: "What does it mean for the monarch to ask this?" ”
"My meaning is very clear, if the general is a native of the scattered country, I would like to ask the general to speak for the widow. Do you think I have succeeded to the throne as the king, and I should have my own Mrs. Jun, don't you think I have studied in the royal family for many years, and I don't know much about the domestic situation. Step by step, San Gongzhao was consciously pulling the stone camel towards himself.
"This?" Shi Camel was a little embarrassed when he heard the monarch talking to him like this, and after thinking about it, he said: "The monarch is the lord of a country, even if he wants to find his relatives, he should also look for them among the princesses of the surrounding countries, how can ordinary women be worthy of our monarch." ”
"That being said, someone should be in charge of it. Liu Xiangguo is from outside, he doesn't know much about the situation in the scattered country, and he is not as good as the general in other neighboring countries, so how about I bother the general to handle this matter for the widow? Ji Zhao said to Shi Camel with a sincere face.
Seeing that the monarch asked himself so sincerely to find his relatives and home, this made Shi Camel a little embarrassed, and he didn't dare to agree.
"So the general is not willing to do this for the widow?" Ji Zhao then asked.
Under Liu Tong's bewitchment, although Shi Camel was worried that Ji Zhao would find something for himself after coming to power, there was always a defensive element in his heart. But from San Gongzhao's words, he can still feel the element of wooing in it.
"It's not that I don't want to mention that the king has this mind, it's just that I have to discuss it with Lord Xiangguo in advance before I can decide. If not, how about I discuss this matter with Lord Xiangguo before I explain this matter to you? In fact, Shi Camel's idea was very simple, before he figured out Sangongzhao's true thoughts, he still trusted Liu Tong. At this time, in his opinion, Liu Tong is still standing on the same line as himself.
After hearing this, Ji Zhao sighed in disappointment and said: "Oh--, so that's the case, then please tell Lord Xiangguo, just say that the widow has succeeded to the throne, and the marriage also needs to be carefully considered." ”
After that, San Gongzhao's heart couldn't help but flash a trace of coolness, fortunately he didn't directly put forward his true thoughts to Shi Camel, if he wanted to tell him his true thoughts directly, maybe his life would not be saved.
After dinner that day, Shi Camel arranged the guards of the palace and hurried to Liu Tong's mansion. After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, Shi Camel said to Liu Tong: "Lord Xiangguo, the king told me something today. ”
"Oh---, what's the matter? Let's hear it. Although Liu Tong and Shi Camel put Sangongzhao under house arrest for the time being, Liu Tong still knew very well in his heart that with his foundation and strength in Sanguo, he would not be able to control it sooner or later. The best ending is that the two sides reconciled, he continued to serve as the minister of the scattered country, and Ji Zhao officially became the monarch of the scattered country.
Therefore, Liu Tong has always been very concerned about Ji Zhao's every move, and even every word he says must be paid attention to from time to time. As soon as he heard Shi Camel mention Ji Zhao's matter, Liu Tong immediately became interested.
"The king told me today that he has officially succeeded to the throne as the king, and he wants me to worry about finding a family business for him." Shi Camel said truthfully.
Ji Zhao asked Shi Camel to say a family affair for him?
After hearing this, Liu Tong immediately became keenly aware that this was Ji Zhao's plan.
Who is a stone camel? Isn't it just a martial artist! There are so many capable civil and military ministers in the Sanguo Dynasty, Ji Zhao just didn't look for it, but wanted to find a martial artist like Shi Camel to help him find his relatives, not to win over Shi Camel, and then to achieve the purpose of dividing and disintegrating him and Shi Camel.
"What a vicious guy, it seems that I still underestimate this kid." Liu Tongxin secretly thought to himself, so Liu Tong asked Shi Huo: "So you agreed?" ”
Stone Camel shook his head, "I haven't said yes yet." ”
"Oh--, so what did you say?"
"I said that this matter should be discussed with Xiangguo before making a decision."
After listening to Shi Camel's words, Liu Tong breathed a long sigh of relief, "You did the right thing, now you and I are in charge of the military and political affairs of the scattered country, no matter who encounters anything, we have to discuss it." Are you right? ”
After hearing this, Shi Camel said to Liu Tong: "That being said, judging from today's conversation, it seems that the monarch did not pursue the injury of the old gentleman. We're not overdoing it. ”
Shi Camel's words made Liu Tong even more nervous, it seems that this kid's heart has been a little loose, what should I do?
Liu Tong immediately thought of what Yingkang reminded him to say at the beginning, what should I do if my alliance with Shiluo breaks up?
