"Hahaha, hahaha, Lord Liu said it's funny! I have no grievances with people in the distant days, and I have no enmity with others recently, who will ask for my name? Then the stone camel pretended to be relaxed and said.

When he first entered the door, Shi Camel called Liu Tong "Lord Xiangguo", and now he immediately changed his name to "Lord Liu", although it is a change in title, it is actually a change in distant relatives. Calling Liu Tong "Lord Liu" actually has a businesslike taste, and there is a faint threat in it.

"There is no grievance with people in the distance, and there is no enmity with people in the near future? Lord Shi said that you are laughing, as a general of Sancheng, dare to say that there are no enemies or two? Liu Tong said not to be outdone.

"This? Then tell me who I have an enmity with, and who wants my life? The corpse reacted immediately.

"I'll tell you the truth, I'm here today for your lord's injury. If this matter is not handled well, it is really difficult to say whether your head can continue to stay around your neck after Prince Zhao returns to China. Liu Tong threatened and also pointed the finger at Prince Zhao.

"You mean Prince Zhao wants my life?" The stone camel said in surprise.

"Of course it's Prince Zhao, just imagine, in addition to the king and the prince in today's scattered country, who else dares to take your life?"

"Prince Zhao wants my life, why?" Of course, Shi Camel was puzzled, although he didn't have much favor for Prince Zhao, he didn't have any grievances! Why would he be so upset with himself?

"Because the king was seriously injured when he dabbled in it, and his life was short. Once the monarch is over, Prince Zhao will inevitably return to China to succeed to the throne, and after he succeeds to the throne, he will definitely investigate the cause of his father's injury. You must know that only you and I were present that day, and I won't be able to run away at that time, and you won't be able to get out of it. I think people will kill me, and of course you won't live long. Liu Tong threatened step by step.

Now it was the turn of the stone camel to be surprised.

"But, but the gentleman was injured while hunting, and the gentleman fell himself, so what do we have to do with it?" While speaking, Shi Camel had unconsciously put himself and Liu Tong together.

Liu Tongxin was secretly happy, it seems that Yingkang's trick is really very practical! So he continued to work harder and said: "Although you and I know that the king's injury was caused by himself, others may not believe it!" Once the prince Zhao returns to China, he will definitely frame us, saying that we conspired to deliberately set up a situation for the king, and finally caused the king to be injured and killed. ”

"How dare he?" The stone camel said angrily.

"What does he dare not do, you must know that once Prince Zhao returns to China, he will be the new monarch, and under normal circumstances, the new monarch will kill a group of people to establish his prestige. Think about it, among so many ministers of civil and military affairs, who will he take the knife? ”

"Is it us?" Shi Camel looked at Liu Tong in surprise.

Liu Tong nodded slightly, "Who else will there be besides the two of us?" ”

After hearing this, the stone camel felt a burst of cold air in his heart, and he only felt that his back was surprisingly cold. Then, Shi Camel asked tentatively, "So you will not be in the long run?" ”

Liu Tong nodded, "It's just a matter of the past two days." ”

"Huh----, how can this be?" Shi Camel was frightened and frightened in his heart, and he didn't know how to do it, "Even if that's the case, then there is no need for him to kill us!" After all, it's his own business that the king is injured, and there is no need for us as courtiers to frame the king! ”

Listening to Shi Camel's brainless words, Liu Tong knew that he had no thoughts at all at this time, so he pointed at Shi Camel and said, "You, you, why are you so confused?" As long as the prince Zhao returns to China, whether there is a reason or not, he will have to change the ministers again, we must be the object of the change, as for the king being injured and dying, it is just an excuse for others, not to mention that this excuse is still a fatal excuse. Are you waiting for someone to come back and pick you up? ”

"This?" Shi Camel hesitated, "I, of course I can't sit still. ”

"That's right, I also heard that Lao Xiangguo said a lot to Prince Zhao when he was dying, and one of the most important ones is to ask Prince Zhao to eradicate dissidents and let his son Zhou Yao succeed him as Xiangguo. Lord Shi, think about it, since people have thought about everything, after Prince Zhao returns to China in the future, will you still be able to live well? Will you be able to keep your position today? ”

Zhou Huan did say a lot to Prince Zhao before he died, and Shi Huo, as the general of Sancheng, knew it, but whether Zhou Huan proposed to let Zhou Yao succeed Xiangguo was another matter.

However, Liu Tong was able to say such a thing at this time, Shi Camel still believed it, after all, who wants to joke with his fate?

Liu Tong is the current Xiangguo, aren't you worried about being replaced by someone else in the next step?

Since Liu Tong told Shi Camel about his situation so heartily, Shi Camel was also a little relieved to Liu Tong, "Lord Xiangguo, so we are now grasshoppers on a rope?" ”

Liu Tong raised his eyes and looked at Shi Camel, "Lord Shi, since we know that Prince Zhao's return to China will regret that it is not good for us, then why do we still sit and wait for death?" As for what you think, I'm not going to guess, I'm not going to sit still anyway. ”

After listening to Liu Tong's words, Shi Camel "chuckled" in his heart, "You don't want to sit still, and I won't wait for someone to slaughter." You say, what do you want me to do? ”

Liu Tong knew that the stone camel had been hooked, so he said to him: "The matter is actually very simple, you only need to lead the troops to protect everyone during the king's funeral." ”

Protect everyone during the funeral?

Liu Tong's words made Shi Camel a little puzzled, "The king is in mourning, and I, as the general of Sancheng, should lead troops to protect me, do you need to say this?" ”

It seems that Shi Camel still didn't understand what he meant, so Liu Tong said directly to Shi Camel: "I mean that you and I join forces to directly control the situation in Sancheng, and after Sancheng is completely controlled by you and me, I will send someone to the royal family to ask Prince Zhao to return to China to preside over the king's funeral." After the great funeral, if the crown prince is at the mercy of us, we will support him to succeed to the throne, and if he does not obey us, then we will directly put him under house arrest. ”

After listening to Liu Tong's words, Shi Camel subconsciously said: "If you say this, we can be regarded as a rebellion, this is a great crime to destroy the Nine Clans!" ”

"Rebellion? Hehe, joke, how can this be considered a rebellion? We are helping to dissolve the country for long-term peace and stability. Besides, rebellion is tightly limited to assassinating the monarch to seize the throne, and the crown prince Zhao is not the monarch, so how can we be considered a rebellion if we control him? Liu Tong said to the stone camel.

"You say that what we do is to ensure the long-term peace and stability of the scattered country? Isn't it a rebellion? Shi Camel asked suspiciously.

"Of course, of course, we are thinking about the long-term peace and stability of the scattered country. If you think about it, we controlled the crown prince, so that many ministers of the scattered country were saved from being poisoned, and the country could be stable and stable for a long time. Therefore, if we can make the scattered countries stable for a long time, we must do this. When the country is stable in the future, you and I will be the heroes of the country. ”

In this way, not only is it not a rebellious minister, but it can also become a hero of national stability.
