Chapter 118: Lip Service
Autumn is getting stronger, the leaves were still tender green two days ago, but now they are already yellow, and the cold wind blows, swirling in the air and sliding.
Not long after Zhu Ping appeared outside the door, the aristocratic groups under the protection of the private soldiers appeared in the square inside the door, and the two sides confronted each other from a distance.
"Barons, don't come unharmed!"
"Hall, what are you going to do?" Lin Zheng's voice was full of coldness, with a hint of threat.
"It's not famous, I just want to make an agreement between gentlemen...... Well, or rather, a gentleman's agreement.
Fighting a war is a war, but don't do anything about it, even if you start a war, don't forcibly recruit into the army, how about it?
If you do this, I will do the same, and capture all the life forces of Orlandon into my own hands without a bottom line, and there will be nothing left after the war.
Don't forget, you have to meet the beast tide and the cold snap next......" Zhu Ping's voice was very sincere.
And Lin Zheng seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then responded from afar: "Baron Hall, even our nobles have to manage the normal recruitment of private soldiers, you are too domineering!"
Now that you have not yet become a king, you have begun to rule over the nobles, and if you become a king, will you still kill us and leave us alone? ”
How do you know, wait...... Zhu Ping's eyes flickered, and he noticed that something was wrong.
Lin Zheng used to be a character with a smiling face and a knife, although it was inevitable that some nobles could not get rid of the inferiority, but he was by no means such a superficial person in the city.
Such a fierce and inward-looking word would never have come out of his mouth.
In Zhu Ping's imagination, Lin Zheng should have been tougher and said something "you are afraid", "you are anxious, you are anxious...... Something like that.
Give his allies confidence to prevent this group of wall-to-wall nobles from falling casually.
Even if he is strong on the outside, he must be tough.
However, this time, Lin Zheng actually relented, and he took the initiative to put himself in the position of the disadvantaged group.
When things go wrong, there must be demons.
It's just that Zhu Ping has not analyzed any problems with the existing information, and then asked: "I just want to control the war within a certain range, and the two sides should not make a big move."
I don't know what Viscount Lin Zheng just said meant? ”
Lin Zheng saw that Zhu Ping was not in the trap, and suddenly smiled: "Baron Hall, don't pretend to be stupid here, since you said that the two sides should not make a big move, why did you attack my castle yesterday?"
Why did he send someone to pretend to be Viscount Xiao Nong yesterday and plunder the grain and assets in his castle?
If you are short of money today, you will attack my castle, and if you are short of money tomorrow, will you attack the castles of our other nobles?
You sure will be!
Put away your hypocrisy!
If you become a king, you must be a tyrant in the truest sense of the word. ”
If you always speak so nicely, I won't be disgusted with you...... Zhu Ping read Viscount Lin Zheng's words in a low voice, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.
He discovered the location of the "demon".
In the words of Lin Zheng's mouth, there are two words that are the most critical: "we nobles" and "you".
When he said this, he wanted nothing more than to set Zhu Ping against all the nobles of Orlandon.
Render Zhu Ping as a tyrant.
As if to prove that when Zhu Ping became king, a wave of purges would inevitably be launched in Orlandon.
Let the nobles with the attribute of wallgrass stand in line in advance.
After thinking about this, Zhu Ping's brain was running rapidly, and he muttered in his heart: I have to say that Viscount Lin Zheng still has a vision! What he said was indeed the truth.
But I must not admit it now, if these nobles are to feel fear, and thus unite, it will be really troublesome.
Change the topic, then change the topic back again...... After Zhu Ping understood this, he replied: "Viscount Lin Zheng's words are wrong, I don't know how you regard the agreement between gentlemen as a symbol of tyrants. ”
Zhu Ping looked at the nobles behind Lin Zheng who were a little resistant and a little frightened in the face of Zhu Ping, and said with a smile:
"Barons, there is a world of difference between the sacred covenant between nobles and the tyranny of tyrants.
If nothing else, back in the days of the establishment of Orlanton, it was stipulated that nobles were not allowed to assassinate each other, and they were not allowed to kill each other in the streets......
With these guarantees, the nobles were able to live a stable life in Orlanton without worrying too much about sudden killers.
Only rules can protect the interests of the nobility.
But there are people who break this agreement! ”
Zhu Ping looked at Lin Zheng and made it clear that "some people" referred to Lin Zheng.
After giving the nobles a few seconds to discuss, Zhu Ping continued: "The beast tide is coming soon, and the cold snap of winter makes it difficult for merchant ships to pass.
It is estimated that every nobleman present will suffer a lot of losses.
If the ecology of the capital is destroyed during this time period, then when the extraordinary beast comes, who will resist, the cold snap is coming, the people have no food and drink, what should I do if there is a riot?
Viscount Lin Zheng, what you do is nothing more than the same as before, collect all your interests on yourself and let others pay for you.
To put it bluntly, you just want to control all the sources of troops in your own hands, and then let other nobles take care of it for you. ”
When the words fell, except for Lin Zheng, the nobles were all looking at each other and exchanging information in a whisper.
This is Zhu Ping's way of dealing with Lin Zheng's trap......
Didn't Lin Zheng want to associate "controlling the behavior of catching strong men" with tyrants?
Then Zhu Ping threw the pot back again, linking the act of indiscriminate recruitment with harming the interests of other nobles!
Capital...... The aristocracy is short-sighted, and they pay more attention to short-term interests than long-term interests!
This phrase is common in every world.
If this were not the case, wouldn't it be good if the aristocracy had promoted industrial culture early, not monopolized scientific knowledge, but disseminated knowledge, tried their best to exploit the resources of the planet, broke through the shackles of gravity, and marched into outer space?
In the final analysis, the aristocracy is short-sighted, and there is no washing!
So Zhu Ping's words hit their vital point and asked them to point the finger at Lin Zheng.
At this time, many of them looked at Lin Zheng's gaze, and they all had some vigilance in it.
Then Zhu Ping's face showed a look full of memories, and said: "Barons, I actually have no intention of being an enemy of you, and even when the Hall family is prosperous, everyone is happy."
It's a pity......"
This remark came to an abrupt end.
It was as if a large bucket of diesel fuel had been carefully poured on a firewood pile glittered with sparks.
The Hall family was originally a well-known family in Orlandon, but after a great change, the nobles divided the assets of the Hall family.
How did you not have assets? How did the family get down?
Is it possible that Lin Zheng was not involved?
There were many nobles who faintly moved backwards, away from Viscount Lin Zheng.
Zhu Ping showed a victorious smile and muttered: "In terms of lip service, you still want to fight with me, don't you know that Lao Tzu never uses a straw when drinking yogurt?" ”
At this moment, Baron Lippi rushed over appropriately, he looked at Viscount Lin Zheng in the distance, very timid, and craned his neck and didn't know how to advance or retreat.
Zhu Ping had a cold style, and hurriedly went up to greet him, if he wasn't wearing boots at this time, he would have to deliberately kick one off.
After all, this is a model for his hometown of Corporal Lixian.
Don't be afraid...... Zhu Ping and Lippi clasped their hands tightly together, like brothers, brothers, friends, and brothers, so they were not eager.
It forms a strong contrast with Lin Zheng's side.
Let the eyes of many active-minded nobles continue to flicker.
Even if Hall is pretending, as long as he has this heart, it means that he is willing to accept nobles, and he will not be bloody liquidation as Lin Zheng said.
Just then, on the other side of the street.
Gast and Lin Zheng turned the corner of the street, and they happened to be stuck in their field of vision, and they couldn't see Zhu Ping's figure, but could only see Viscount Lin Zheng and others who "came out for a walk" in the distance.
So Gast loudly invited credit: "Lord Viscount Lin Zheng, you see what strange thing I caught on the street!" ”
George originally wanted to fight with him, but after going through too many things, he calmed down a lot, and immediately realized that something was wrong with his anger and stopped talking.
When a group of soldiers turned the street with the strong men, they stopped when they saw Zhu Ping's figure.
And Zhu Ping followed the voice and looked over, and couldn't help but be stunned: "Why did I think you had gone back, I knew that you were so ink, and I still need to spend so many words?" ”
