Chapter 021: Intrigue (I)
(Ask for recommendations, ask for favorites.) )
The strong have never said it with their mouths, it needs to be done little by little with practical actions and foundations, because the strong never disdain to express anything to the weak and to the world.
Of course, a strong man is not born, he also grows through all the ups and downs, and if you want to grow into a strong person, you must have a strong heart, because the heart is the root.
The Qiu Empire has rotted in its roots, and he has lost the essence of radiance, and it has been three days since the Jingzhou coalition returned to Jinling City.
In three days, the five masters made a detailed calculation of the interests of Jingzhou, and at the same time, a new round of power confrontation will be launched.
This world is so cruel, if you want to become stronger, then you have to plunder and become domineering, because only in this way can you continue to become stronger.
If you don't want to be a passerby in the river of time, then try to dominate the river of time and let yourself control your own destiny.
Of course, there are too many unsatisfactory things in this life;
Of course, there are too many uncomfortable things about this life;
But if you want to live the life you want to live, then you have to try to be strong, because that's the only way to grow.
……
Jinling City, Wencheng Palace, Mingxin Palace.
Duan Hui sat on the dragon chair, looking at the court with an expressionless face, watching the authority that should have belonged to him being completely deprived by the head of the five major lords, which made Duan Hui very painful in his heart, but even if it was painful, there was no way to change anything, because he had no ability to change all this.
Duan Hui is like a marionette, being carried by a pair of invisible hands, and whatever the invisible hands ask him to do, he must obey unconditionally.
Because he didn't have the courage to resist.
Sun Mingben sat on the rosewood chair, saw that the other family heads were silent, and said at the moment: "Your Majesty, the meritorious people who have made meritorious contributions to the Jingzhou coalition army today are all under the court, I don't know what reward Your Majesty has for the military generals such as Sun Jinghui, the commander of the Jingzhou coalition army?" Do not break the heart of a man of merit. ”
Sun Ming's words were very straightforward, so straightforward that Duan Hui couldn't take it at all, a country's reward should be tied to the king of a country, and what the king of a country wants to reward depends on the king's mood and anger, but Sun Ming said it so bluntly, which made Duan Hui feel naked pain in his face.
Duan Hui looked at Sun Ming and asked Sun Ming for advice in an advisory manner: "I don't have a complete grasp of the merits earned by the Jingzhou coalition army, I don't know what Aiqing thinks?" ”
Duan Hui knew that Sun Ming was just asking him to take it when he said this, and Sun Ming had already memorized his true thoughts, so he just brought him out.
After hearing this, Sun Ming did not shirk it, but said in front of the court officials: "The former general Sun Jinghui led the Jingzhou coalition army to capture the land of Jingnan, and conquered a large number of territories for the empire, and he should be promoted to General Wei with this meritorious service." ”
When these words were spoken, the audience was in an uproar.
This is too shocking, although Sun Jinghui is brave and outstanding in martial arts, and has great military achievements, but he was promoted to General Wei at such a young age, in time, wouldn't the first throne in the military also be won by Sun Jinghui?
If the first throne is taken down, how will the Xin family stand in the court?
Xin Ning was reluctant at the moment, and arched his hand to Duan Hui and said: "Back to Your Majesty, it is not Sun Jinghui's work to capture the land of Jingnan alone, and my Xin family's sons and daughters have also paid." ”
After Xin Ning finished speaking, Huo Jie was reluctant, and looked at Sun Ming Zhenzhen and said: "The reason why the empire was able to capture Jingnan so quickly was if it weren't for the fact that my Huo family army successively captured Jiangxia County, Nan County, and Changsha County under the indifferent command of Pingxi General Huo Xiong; For the Imperial Coalition to successfully gain a foothold in the land of Jingnan, the coalition forces may still be fighting bloody battles in the land of Jingnan at this moment. ”
Huo Jie's words were right, but he seemed to have forgotten the key, if it weren't for Liu Wu's existence, it was unknown what the Jingzhou coalition army would be like now.
Not only Huo Jie, but also Sun Ming, Jing Hui, Xin Ning, and Feng Xin didn't pay attention to Liu Wu, although Liu Wu was the key figure in turning things around in this battle, but because he was not a disciple of the five major lords, it was impossible for anyone to stand up for Liu Wu, and his own interests had not been guaranteed, so how could he help an outsider!
This person is really realistic, when you are useful, then you are like a relative, once you are useless, that face will turn faster than anyone else.
That's the fucking reality.
Once upon a time, the conquest of the Jingzhou coalition army was in a desperate situation, and Liu Wu's strong strength turned the tide several times, and successively helped the conquest of the Jingzhou coalition army out of the predicament, but in the end, what did he get?
Nothing!
This person really needs to be realistic in the world, because if you don't live for yourself, but simply for others, that's great, you are the only saint.
You're the biggest fool in the world.
To tell the truth, Liu Wu once thought that this time he returned to Jinling City with the army, even if he couldn't rise too high to a high military position, it was because of setting an example.
But he obviously underestimated Sun Ming's firm control of the power structure of the Qiu Empire, and his own family couldn't arrange it, so how could he arrange a stranger he had never met?!
As soon as Huo Jie finished speaking, Feng Xin was reluctant, to say that the biggest loss in the conquest of Jingzhou in the Yu Empire belonged to his Feng family.
Fengxiang, the son of the Fengjia, the 50,000 elite Fengjia troops who accompanied the expedition, died in battle, and were annexed by annexation, which made his Fengjia have nowhere to say.
If Feng Xin hadn't taken the opportunity to send Fengyang to lead his troops to the expedition again, then his Feng family would not have even gotten a trace in this feast to divide the land of Jingnan.
But it is undeniable that the damage to the strength of his Feng family is unavoidable, and in order to recover the loss, Feng Xin also joined the war group, and immediately said: "The Feng family was born and died for the hegemony of the empire, since the son Feng Xiang counted, 50,000 soldiers who went out to fight were all killed on the battlefield, but even so, my Feng family is also forced to endure grief and then send a large army to fight for the hegemony of the empire!" ”
This is really shameless, obviously he had to send an army for his own interests, how could it be so righteous and awe-inspiring in Feng Xin's mouth, this Jiang is still old and spicy.
For the sake of their own interests, the five heads of the family quarreled above the court, and finally finalized the distribution of the top five military positions.
The commander of the Jingzhou coalition army, the former general Sun Jinghui was promoted to general Wei; Pingxi general Huo Xiong took the lead in capturing Jiangxia County, Nanjun, and Changsha County, laying the foundation for the empire to seize the land of Jingnan, and was promoted to Zhonghu General;
Pingdong General Xin Chang, Pingnan General Jing Xu, and Pingbei General Feng Yang led their troops to conquer Jingzhou Coalition Army to capture Jingnan, and also made great meritorious contributions and special promotions: Xin Chang was the left general, Jing Xu was the right general, and Fengyang was the rear general.
Relying on the battle of words, the five gate lords all planned the military positions they deserved for the heirs who went to Jingzhou this time, which can be regarded as paving a generous road for them.
But all this has nothing to do with Liu Wu.
