Chapter 405: Asking for Cutting the Domain
Another minister said: "Xiaguan has a few friends in Saidika, I heard some news from the court, I heard that this Agul used to be Enek's shaman, not only good at divination, but also full of wisdom and strategy, if it wasn't for Enek who didn't listen to Agul's persuasion, Enek would not necessarily be defeated so quickly, since Enek abdicated and went to the north, Aguer has become Qin Dong's loyal dog, who bites whoever in the court, is a mad dog, dare to ask the king, I don't know what the emperor's attitude was after listening to Agul's slander? ”
Sambus saluted in the direction where the camp of Qindong was located and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor is wise, of course he didn't listen to the slander of the traitorous minister, but later Na Agul framed the king and failed, and then retreated to the Emperor and sent a secret talk to monitor the king day and night, you say, what secrets can be said in the king's family in the future?" I'm afraid that this king has been to the toilet several times today, and in the evening Agul knows it clearly! His Majesty the Emperor did not make a clear statement on Agul's proposal, but the king thought that His Majesty the Emperor had acquiesced, the emperor was the emperor after all, and he would not trust anyone without reservation, and the king would not be able to live this day in the future.
Ladies and gentlemen, this king has thought about it carefully, this king does not have the courage to rebel, and he does not have the capital, instead of living under the surveillance of others all day long, it is better to hand over the ownership, governance and escort of the territory, and at the same time ask the emperor to revoke the title of this king, the king of the southern court, and from now on only be a rich man, only in this way can some people not find a reason to attack this king, and only in this way can his majesty be at ease with this king. Otherwise, if this continues, some people's tricks will not succeed. I will still think of other more vicious tricks to rectify me, and then I am afraid that it will not only be a problem of this territory, but I am afraid that even the lives of this king's family will not be guaranteed! ”
The officials looked at each other, they didn't think that Sambus's purpose in summoning them all was to hand over the ownership, governance and guards of the territory to the imperial court, and live the life of a rich man in the future, and everyone didn't react for a while What to say.
At this time, an official stood up and said loudly: "The king can't, we can't just admit defeat." It's normal for someone to frame you, but who made you a king with a different surname? Those people who want to frame you can only deal with you through the hands of Emperor Majesty, but Emperor Majesty is wise and martial after all. As a young and promising generation of emperors, how could His Majesty the Emperor be willing to be at the mercy of others? Therefore, the king does not have to worry at all, and there is no need to hand over the territory and the guard."
"Yes, yes, the king must not do that. We will be on the king's side! "Someone took the lead. Many ministers have the courage to stand up and express their support.
Seeing this, Sambus couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Your kindness, this king understands it, as you said, His Majesty the Emperor is wise and martial, there is no doubt about this, but the emperor is the emperor after all, and no one knows what the emperor thinks in his heart." But think about it, the whole empire. There is only one king with a different surname, and the territory he has is still so large, and the number of people in the territory is still so large, which is an unstable factor in the eyes of any emperor, this has nothing to do with the emperor's wisdom and wisdom, any emperor will be suspicious of this, the emperor is worried and suspicious of a king of the Southern Courtyard with a huge territory and a large number of subjects, but he will not be suspicious of a herdsman with only some wealth, right? ”
The officials were silent when they heard Sambus's words, and they obviously understood this truth deeply, because they all knew that if they were emperors, they would also be suspicious of Sambus and wary of him everywhere.
After being silent for a while, some officials couldn't help crying: "The king, the ministers are all incompetent, and they can't share their worries for the king, and the ministers are ashamed!" ”
All the officials saluted in unison: "The ministers are ashamed! ”
Sambus reluctantly smiled and said: "This matter has nothing to do with you and others, this king has thought for a long time before making this decision, after this king handed over the territory and guards, I am afraid that he will no longer have the right to speak, and the question of your stay may not be decided by this king, but this king will try his best to say a lot of good things for you in front of His Majesty the Emperor, please treat you and others well, and try to keep you in office!" ”
At this point, Sambus still promised to do his best to keep these officials in front of the emperor, which made the officials here feel ashamed and grateful at the same time, and some officials took the matter to heart and decided that they would have the opportunity to repay them in the future.
For a while, all the officials remembered that they might have to go their separate ways in the future, maybe they were strangers when they met, and they remembered the past feelings, and they couldn't help crying bitterly, and the whole hall was crying.
In the afternoon, Qin Dong took some Praetorian Guard soldiers to hunt on the grassland, today's harvest was good, only two hours Qin Dong shot a total of two wolves, six deer, three antelopes, and the horses of the Praetorian Guard cavalry around him were full of game.
In the evening, Qin Dong and the accompanying Praetorian Cavalry returned to the camp, and as soon as they entered the camp, they met Waynes, the squire of the Yellow Gate, "Your Majesty, the king of the Southern Courtyard Sambus has come to see him, and he has been waiting for an afternoon!" ”
"Oh?" Qin Dong threw his bow and arrows to the Praetorian Guard soldiers behind him, rode towards the Chinese army's tent, and asked as he went, "Do you know what he is doing?" ”
Waynes shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, but judging from his restless appearance, the minister deduced that he probably already knew about the incident that Lord Agul had built to His Majesty yesterday afternoon, so he came over impatiently to show his loyalty to His Majesty!" ”
Qin Dong nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Let's go, go over and meet him!" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
As soon as Qin Dong walked into the big tent of the Chinese army, he saw Sambus immediately kneeling on the ground and saluting respectfully: "Chancellor Sambus participates in His Majesty, long live!" ”
Qin Dong smiled and said, "Oh, it's the king of the Southern Courtyard here?" Get up! As he spoke, he motioned to the guards behind him to take off his armor.
"Thank you!" Sambus cautiously got up, but still bent over, not daring to be too comfortable.
Qin Dong sat down after removing his armor with the help of the guards and asked, "It's almost dark, do you have anything important to do when you come to see me?" ”
Sambus saluted again: "Your Majesty, the minister came this time to hand over the territory to the imperial court, and in the future, the affairs of the territory will also be managed by the imperial court, in addition, the minister's escort team of 2,000 people will also be handed over to the imperial court, and there is also the title of the king of the southern courtyard, and the minister also asks His Majesty to take it back, from now on, the minister just wants to be a herdsman with a little money, and please complete it!" ”
Qin Dong's brows furrowed more and more when he listened, and after Sambus finished speaking, he slowly got up and said, "Sambus, what do you mean by this?" Do you think that I am not virtuous enough to be worthy of your allegiance? Or did you hear something crazy? ”
Sambus immediately clarified: "No, no, no, Your Majesty misunderstood, Your Majesty is in the prime of life, with great courage and great wisdom to turn the tide, wise and powerful, prestige is added to the four seas, there are few emperors throughout the ages, it is not an exaggeration to call it an emperor through the ages, all the subjects of the world are respectful, and the ministers naturally want to serve His Majesty again......"
Qin Dong interrupted: "That's what crazy talk you heard outside?" You can rest assured, I am only twenty-four years old this year, my ears are not deaf, my brain is still clear enough, I know what to listen to and what not to hear, I need a talented and prestigious talent like you, the court needs a talent like you, and the empire can develop rapidly with a talent like you. As for the gossip about you in front of me, you can completely ignore it, in the court, there will inevitably be political disagreements among colleagues, this is not surprising, as long as you do what you should do, do a good job of the errand I have given you, I will naturally distinguish between right and wrong! ”
Sambus was really moved after listening to Qin Dong's words, Qin Dong's words can be said to be very heart-to-heart, some words are still said by the emperor to his subordinates Qin Dong, Sambus is still sober in addition to being moved, if it is a young man, it is estimated that Lao Tzu will be willing to go to the soup for Qin Dong as soon as he is hot.
Sambus burst into tears and said: "The minister has heard that there is a sentence in the Chinese that says, 'The king treats me as a countryman, I will repay it with a countryman', thank you for your majesty's love, the minister Sambus has nothing to repay, and is willing to use this body for His Majesty to drive, but the minister is old, and his energy and body are not as good as before, he is really powerless, and please forgive your majesty!" ”
Sambus is about the same age as Attila, even if he is older than Attila, but he is not a few years older, only in his fifties, with Sambus's current state, he can still fight on horseback, Qin Dong heard his words, he knew that he was deliberately shirking, it seems that yesterday afternoon, Agul's words scared him a lot, and he insisted on handing over all the titles of the territory and the guards and the prince to feel at ease, wanting to save his family's life.
Qin Dong was silent for a while and sighed: "Sambus, no matter what your thoughts and intentions are, you are going to fall into an unrighteous situation!" Think about it, the imperial court had an agreement with you at the beginning, took your military power, reserved 2,000 guards for you, and you enjoyed independent autonomy, these terms could be clearly written into the content of the agreement at that time, you are playing such a play now, people who know think that I am really unkind, narrow-minded, and can't tolerate a virtuous person like you, I don't know if people still think that I am a ruthless person who crosses the river and demolishes bridges, is it really so unbearable, and is not worthy of the sincere assistance of a virtuous person like you? ”
Sambus was startled, this hat must not be worn, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground. (To be continued......)
