Chapter 50: The Emperor's Dilemma
Lan Che and Shen Yue and their entourage soon arrived and arrived at the imperial capital, and when they came to the palace to resume their lives, Lan Che still reluctantly wanted to hug Shen Yue, but Shen Yue was not his own after all, so Lan Che held back his desire.
Lan Che reluctantly looked at Shen Yue's back as he gradually moved away, very sad, and his heart tingled, but no, he was a big man, how could he burst out with emotion at this time?
At this time, Lan Che returned to Yunshui Pavilion non-stop, but the Emperor was about to summon him.
Lan Che dragged his tired body, and the random recent rush made him very tired, but since the emperor wanted to summon him, he couldn't refuse. So Lan Che followed the eunuch who came to greet him, sat in a sedan chair together, and then slowly went to the palace.
When Lan Che arrived at the palace, Lan Che looked at the majestic emperor, in fact, such a majestic emperor was made of the blood of many people. Although Lan Che sometimes hated the emperor in front of him very much, because his achievements were all exchanged for the blood of his subordinates.
But sometimes some of the things he does are not satisfactory.
The emperor said to Lan Che leisurely: "For such a long time, it is really hard for you, and during the time you are away, the emperor misses you day and night, and he is very worried about it, but fortunately you came back safe and sound, and with the good news of returning triumphantly." The country you guarded for the emperor, this friendship, the emperor will naturally not forget, and your loyalty, the emperor will not be invisible. ”
When Lan Che heard all the words that the emperor said, they were all official words, and his attitude towards the emperor was not so good, he silently thought in his heart that in fact, the emperor had no feelings at all, he was just saying high-sounding words.
If the emperor really valued his subordinates very much, how could he let himself take 100,000 horses against the 200,000 horses on the opposite side?
The emperor wanted to use this opportunity to get rid of himself in one fell swoop, Lan Che was also a very smart person, he wouldn't know these things, so Lan Che still had a smile on his face.
So Lan Che also said to the emperor in a high-sounding manner: "Weichen also misses the national capital very much when he is outside, and now the triumph can be regarded as living up to the emperor's entrustment, repaying the emperor's cultivation and trust for so many years, I have killed countless enemies outside, and the relationship between this and my generals is inseparable in the slightest." It is because of them that I can have today's glory and today's success. ”
The Emperor seemed to be nodding on the dragon chair, so he let Lan Che come to him and said that he wanted to take a good look at him.
Lan Che obediently came to the front of the emperor, and said slowly to the emperor: "Seeing your appearance, it is really very remarkable, and you look like an emperor at first glance." ”
When the emperor heard Lan Che, he couldn't help but compliment himself like this, haha, and laughed, because the emperor had always known that in terms of qualifications, he was not as good as Lan Che at all, so for so many years, he was afraid that Lan Che would seek power and seize the throne and sit on his head, and then kill himself.
Now when he heard that Lan Che was stronger than himself and complimented himself, the emperor was happy from the heart.
But the surface was still silent, the emperor took Lan Che's hand and looked very loving, and said to Lan Che leisurely:
"I decided to pick a easier job for you, you have killed countless enemies outside, these jobs are really too difficult for you, and this emperor misses you day and night, without you as a strategist by the emperor's side, this emperor is really not easy, I don't feel at ease when you are outside, now that I am back, I will be reinstated, or be a civil official, and take ideas for this emperor!"
Lan Che understood the emperor's mind as soon as he heard it. Because the emperor wants to weaken the military power in his hands, because the emperor is afraid of Lan Che seeking power and seizing the throne every day, it is very normal to want to weaken his own strength. So Lan Che readily agreed to the emperor's order, because if he didn't agree, he might be killed.
Lan Che still silently likes Shen Yue in his heart, he can't be shattered because love hasn't started yet, and if he dies, it is estimated that Shen Yue will be very sad.
Although Lan Che also liked the current situation very much, but as a last resort, he had no choice but to give up.
If all the soldiers knew that they had given up the position of general, then they would be very disappointed, after all, they had already become acquainted with him and understood the general's character.
The emperor looked at Lan Che's readily agreed, and was very happy in his heart, and pondered in his heart: Lan Che is actually nothing more than that, as long as he gives an order, he still has to go back obediently, and he will never be able to sit in his place.
In fact, Lan Che knew very well in his heart that the emperor had always been jealous of himself, so he suppressed himself everywhere and wanted to kill himself everywhere, if he achieved the position of a civil official, he might be able to avoid a lot of killing, but because of the emperor's jealousy, he still couldn't get a good life.
Therefore, he can only become a waste person in the eyes of the emperor, and only if he becomes a waste person, then the emperor's jealousy of himself will be weakened.
And he understands that there are few advisers like Lan Che in the world, and he shouldn't give himself too low an official position, and if he says it, it's not very good.
But to make Lan Che such a proud son of the sky, how to make a person like him pretend to be a fool and a wasted person, it seems too shameful! Lan Che is unwilling to give up his self-esteem and pride, not to mention that life is still very long, half of his plan is still unfinished, the mission is in his body, and his lover is in his heart, how can he stop there?!
When Lan Che thought of this problem, he suddenly thought of another way, he could become a useful person to the emperor, and loyally surround him, without any loss of power, so that he would have the opportunity to appreciate himself and slowly weaken his jealousy.
The strategic talent he had always been proud of had become a hidden danger in the emperor's heart.
The emperor said leisurely: "Don't you want to?" Or did Bendi do something wrong? Why didn't you speak for so long? ”
The emperor was too suspicious, and now he had roughly guessed Lan Che's thoughts.
But now Lan Che smiled at the emperor without missing a flaw: "As a courtier, you should obey the words of the emperor, the emperor has an order, Lan Che should obey, everything the emperor does is for the good of Weichen, and Weichen will readily agree." ”
The Emperor looked at Lan Che's happy appearance on the surface, and he didn't know whether Lan Che was really happy or happy on the surface.
But it doesn't matter, as long as you solve such a trouble as Lan Che first, everything will be easy to say in the future.
When Lan Che left the palace, Lan Che breathed a sigh of relief, because the days in the palace were really too depressing, and the old fox who had to stand up to the emperor all the time calculated.
Lan Che thought about it and walked to Shen Yue's residence, Lan Che wanted Shen Yue to be with him, so that he could experience the most sincere feelings with Shen Yue.
But there is no way, Shen Yue is still trapped in a catastrophe, and he has no way to disturb Shen Yue unscrupulously, so he can only watch her silently from a distance, waiting for her to end all this.
At this time, Lan Che was standing by the wall, and he actually saw Shen Yue flying a kite in the yard, when Lan Che saw Shen Yue, he faintly showed a smile, and was relieved in his heart, this woman, happy and safe, it's fine.
There is no way, because he doesn't want to disturb Shen Yue's life now, if Shen Yue sees him, Lan Che is very afraid that Shen Yue will not blurt out, she doesn't know herself. I don't want to disturb her life, after all, the two of them are separated now, and they both have their own things.
At this time, Lan Che was very lonely and sad, Lan Che wanted to leave here, didn't the emperor reinstate himself, he should go back and take care of things like literature and history.
When Lan Che was about to leave, Shen Yue saw Lan Che's figure, so Lan Che reluctantly left, and when Lan Che didn't take a few steps, he was grabbed by Shen Yue, who ran behind him.
Shen Yue was a little unhappy in her heart, why didn't Lan Che look at him even though he knew that he was inside, Shen Yue also knew that Lan Che had put a lot of effort into saving himself from the robbers at that time, but now he didn't even look at himself, could this be the legend that the two people shouldn't be too close, and things must be opposed?
At this time, Shen Yue grabbed Lan Che's clothes and said to Lan Che in a questioning tone: "Why don't you come to see me?" Why don't they come to see me when they come to me? Have you forgotten the time between life and death? Is the relationship between the two of us so fragile? He is also a person who shares life and death! ”
Shen Yue was very dissatisfied with Lan Che's behavior, and even wanted to beat Lan Che with her fists.
When Shen Yue had this thought, Shen Yue didn't realize that he was usually very rude to Lan Che, the pride of the sky, but Lan Che never cared about her, in fact, it was because Lan Che was too spoiled by Shen Yue, if Lan Che didn't like Shen Yue, how could he make Shen Yue so arrogant.
But Shen Yue just didn't realize this, if Shen Yue had realized this a long time ago, Shen Yue wouldn't have been so sad.
Lan Che was a little incoherent when he was questioned by Shen Yue, because he often didn't know how to answer in this situation, which was simply a proposition, and if he answered incorrectly, it might make Shen Yue even more angry.
The reason Lan Che knew was not that he had been in such a situation before, but because he had seen his own brother and was annoyed by these things about women.
So Lan Che could only say to Shen Yue very apologetically: "It's not that I don't want to see you, it's just that I didn't notice it just now!" ”
"......" Shen Yue was speechless.
