Chapter 45: Uncle Shu
"Young King, you can count it back!" Youchen knelt under the throne, trembling, old tears in his eyes. If it weren't for the order of respect and humility, I am afraid that I would like to rush up and hug Tu Tian and cry first.
"You get up and speak. Bestow the seat. "Tu Tian sat on the throne, and his royal spirit was awe-inspiring, which was completely inconsistent with the previous child. "What has happened in the days I'm away?"
Under the slaughter of the sky, the high-ranking and powerful person should be the two ministers of Zuoyou, and now the Yinxue royal family has no princes, and the ministers are the main Sheji (internal), and the main Jiangshan (external) are the ministers to jointly assist the new king. In his absence, the two of them will consult on state affairs and decide as they see fit. But something did happen recently that made these two ministers anxious and weak.
"Young king, please also immediately summon the ministers to come to the audience, the palace is in big trouble!" The old minister is like an ant on a hot pot, when Tu Tian is not there, he can't sleep well, and he is in a hurry to block the door of the palace all day long, Tu Tian is back, but he seems to be even more dispossessed.
Tu Tian said: "Someone is coming, Xuan Zuochen." ”
"Yes!"
Tu Tian tasted the fragrant tea without hurry, and said, "Tell me first, what happened to make you so panicked?"
"Young King, do you remember Uncle Qu Renbo?"
Tu Tian nodded. "Remember, he's my only cousin, and it's hard to forget. What's wrong with him?"
"Alas, the old minister has repeatedly advised you not to appoint this person, this person is scheming and ambitious. You left without saying a word, and in March you did not return, and his wolf ambition finally manifested itself. ......”
Youchen told me all about what had happened these days. A smile appeared on Tu Tian's face after hearing this.
Uncle Tu Renbo should also be surnamed Tu, is the illegitimate son of Uncle Tu Tian Tu Ku, Tu Ku's other sons have suffered an unjustified disaster in the dispute between the four brothers of the crown prince, all of them died, only one Tu Ren remained, Tu Tian's grandfather used means to save his life, but did not recognize him as a descendant of the Tu family, and after sealing a "Qu Renbo", he was sent to the ancestral tomb of the Tu family to guard the tomb.
The word "Qu Ren" means "Qu Python" (earthworm), the old man gave this title meaningfully, on the one hand, it is to warn Tu Tu and Tu Lai not to kill them all, this child is just a small earthworm, will not pose a threat to them. The second is to warn Tu Ren not to have delusional thoughts, and to be an earl of his own side obediently, so that he can enjoy glory in this life.
However, after Tu Tian ascended the throne, I don't know what kind of considerations, he insisted on going his own way, rejected all the exhortations of the ministers, promoted him exceptionally, and appointed him as the general of Zhenguo, which is equivalent to the position of the previous slaughter, and seventy percent of the military power is in his hands.
In the past few days, rumors have spread among the people of the Silver Snow Country, and even spread to the royal palace that the new king Tu Tian has probably met with an accident, and it may be that other countries have sent assassins to assassinate him. Later, the more realistic the rumors became, and Tu Tian had not returned for a long time, the news was almost considered "conclusive", and some courtiers had already wavered and began to secretly discuss the election of a new king. But the descendants of the Tu family are left with only the two young sons of Tu Du, and the illegitimate son of Tu Ku. Tu Duan was sentenced to cold prison for "plotting rebellion and killing his father", if it weren't for Tu Tianwang's opening, his family and wife would also be questioned by Zhu Lian, and it was certainly impossible to inherit the throne. The only orthodox bloodline left is the Shu Ninja Bo Tu Ninja. So some of the courtiers began to move around each other, and they became inclined.
Minister Sayou suspects that it is the Shinobo himself who is behind all this.
Tu Tian laughed after hearing this, and said: "It turned out to be this little thing, okay, I'm back now, everything will be calm." You can do whatever you have to do, and you don't have to worry about it. ”
"But the young king, you can't underestimate Uncle Kun, now, except for the three thousand palace guards, the rest of the military power has fallen into the hands of Uncle Shu and his henchmen, I'm afraid that when he sees you returning unharmed, he will jump over the wall and force the palace to rebel." Youchen said.
At this time, Zuochen had also arrived, and admonished: "Please also ask the young king to appease first, take back his military power one by one, and then completely remove him when the time is ripe, let him continue to guard his mausoleum, and never let this person stay in the palace again, the young king is wise, and the young king thinks twice!"
Tu Tian nodded: "I already know what you two mean. But there's really no need to worry so much. If we say 'wolf ambition', all the men of my slaughter family have them, should I drive them all out of the palace? As for the Uncle of the Wolves, I have my own measure, and this person will be a sharp sword in my Silver Snow Country, so that foreign Xiaoxiao will not dare to invade half an inch of my Silver Snow Country. You have all learned what his literary talent and martial arts are, so I don't need to say more. If he can really defeat me, and prove that he is indeed more worthy of being a king than I am, you will be able to help him with all your heart, and you will be able to keep my silver snow country peaceful for a hundred years. ”
"This ......"
The second minister of Zuoyou was covered in a cold sweat when he heard this, this young king is really evil, and he can even say such words without hesitation. What was going on in his heart was something that those of them who were courtiers could guess.
"Alright, stand down. Qi Shouguo, you ride alone to the Zhenguo General's Mansion, invite Uncle Qu Renbo, and I will wait for him here. ”
"Yes!"
After the three of them left, Tu Tian called the maids and instructed them to make some fires. It was mid-autumn now, and he shouldn't have felt cold, but he was shivering like he was sick, and the cup of tea he had just drunk had frozen into a lump of ice before it was brought to his mouth. The two ministers also felt it, but they didn't dare to say anything and endured it.
The demon demon came out from behind the screen, and looked at Tu Tiandao, who was pale: "The Xuanyin Eclipse Sun Technique is originally a great demonic skill, and few people in the Demon Realm dare to cultivate, let alone cultivate the Xuanyin Body, but you have really cultivated half of it by mistake." But that's not necessarily a good thing. The cold is just the beginning, and if you can't get through it, you'll freeze to death by yourself. ”
"What do you mean by half-cultivation?" Tu Tian asked with a shudder. He felt colder and colder, and his blood seemed to freeze.
The demon and demon said: "In the future, you will completely survive the three tribulations of Xuanyin, and only then can you truly cultivate the Xuanyin body." When the time comes, you will be able to control it freely, the cold will be restrained, and you will not hurt yourself again. But...... Xuanyin three tribulations, ten deaths and no life. In the entire demon world, only that one person has ever succeeded. If you abolish your cultivation now, you may be able to save your life, but when the Xuanyin Ice Spirit runs uncontrollably and operates on its own, you won't even have a chance to destroy yourself. ”
"I'm not going to kill myself. "Tu Tian is categorical. "If it hadn't been for it, I'd have died many times. And in half a year, another death of mine will come. I can only respond to the catastrophe with a catastrophe, and fight a glimmer of life from certain death. He did feel a suffocating aura slowly approaching him, but he didn't know what it was.
The demon demon didn't persuade him anymore, and said, "You really shouldn't give up that piece of earth fire essence gold, use it to refine a treasure garment and wear it on your body, it can play a great role." Now you can only collect some fire attribute magic weapons, and there is always some use for being around. But remember not to practice the fire attribute exercises on a whim, otherwise you will be shattered in an instant. ”
"I see. ”
There were more than a dozen fires in the dormitory, and it was finally no longer so cold, but there were still ice slags spurting out when I breathed.
When Shu Ninbo arrived, he was obviously confused by this formation.
He hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, and Tu Tian waved his hand to get him up. said: "You can come alone shows that I am not wrong." Courage, strategy, and perseverance are all there, except for a lack of self-confidence, but that's why I'm using you. You have little ambition, but you are unwilling, desperately trying to prove yourself to others, and because of this, your progress is so fast that ordinary people can reach it. Now I'll give you a little confidence. ”
Tu Tiandou threw out a jade bottle, and Qu Renbo took it in his hand, uneasy.
"Rest assured, it's not poison. The thought of killing you is enough, and you will die without knowing it. This is an elixir that strengthens the physique. You take one pill every ten days. Ten grains here can make you a hundred times stronger than you are now in half a year, and you can truly be worthy of the Zhenguo General of my Silver Snow Country. ”
"King Xie. "Uncle Shu bowed. Take out one and swallow it at the moment, to show that you dare not doubt the Lord and are faithful.
Tu Tian said again: "Your time has to be spent on more important things, there is no need to always think about calculating this throne. You must know that unless I give you an edict, otherwise even if you get it, the people's hearts will be unstable, and you will not be able to sit for a long time, and the jackals outside the frontier will use the first excuse to crusade and swallow the great rivers and mountains of the Silver Snow Country, and in the end you will also fall into the notoriety of plotting against usurpation, losing the country and humiliating your ancestors, and you will not even be able to enter the ancestral grave of the slaughterer after death, and your descendants will not be able to raise their heads for the rest of their lives, and even become slaves of others. ”
"Your Majesty doesn't dare, Your Majesty doesn't dare!" Uncle Qu Renbo was sweating profusely, his body was like a sifting chaff, and he kept kowtowing.
Tu Tian nodded: "You're right to be afraid of me." But you can't be afraid of yourself anymore. The confidence and glory you need, as well as the recognition of others, I will give you back one by one. The premise is that you have the ability to be a king, but you don't have the heart to be a king. ”
"Alright, get up. What I have given you is the brightest path, and I hope you can go on the road and live up to my expectations of you. Go down. ”
"It's the king! The king is wise, and the king lives with the sky! His Majesty retired. ”
Uncle Shu walked out of the dormitory on his knees.
Tu Tian called into Qi Shouguo and said, "I will draw up an edict, you inform Minister Zuoyou, and the three of you will go to the Zhenguo General's Mansion to read it together." ”
"Yes!"
In the Zhenguo General's Mansion, Uncle Qu Renbo was still trembling, and the teacup he was holding kept rattling. Originally, he had prepared a lot of strategies, if Tu Tian was afraid of him, how he would do it, if Tu Tian killed him, how he would do it, he thought clearly, but when he arrived at the king's bedroom, everything fell through. The young Silver Snow King was far more terrifying than he imagined, it was simply unfathomable, just like the most mysterious Tianfeng Lake in the Silver Snow Mountain Range.
"The king's edict has arrived!"
The teacup fell to the ground and was shattered.
"Uncle Qu Renbo, who was originally a good son of the Tu family, was only weak and sick when he was young, and the Holy King was slightly knighted, and allowed him to change his surname to Qu with his mother, which was not of great use. At this time, Qu Renbo's body is gradually calm, Wen Ke Anbang, Wu Ke Dingguo, so he restored his ancestral surname, and canonized the Marquis of Zhongyi, promoted to the general of Zhenguo, and held the tiger talisman. ”
"The king is mighty! Tu Ren obeys the edict, and nine knocks are grateful!"
Tu Ren knocked nine heads heavily, his eyebrows were stained with blood, and he took the edict.
Minister Sayou looked at each other speechlessly and left silently.
Qi Shouguo arched his hand and said: "Congratulations to the Marquis of Zhongyi! The king ordered the lowly to come and send another heavy gift to the Marquis of Zhongyi, please accept it with a smile." ”
Tu Ren hurriedly knelt down to thank him again, but Qi Shouguo stopped him and said with a smile: "This time there is no need." The king made it clear that if the Marquis of Zhongyi had bleeding from his forehead, there was no need for him to be polite. This is a martial art trick of my Qi family, the king asked you to practice diligently, and the combination of pills can greatly improve your physique. Go into battle to kill the enemy, make meritorious achievements, and be invincible. ”
"Thank you, General Qi!"
"The last general will not dare, take his leave!"
After Qi Shouguo left, Tu Ren was in a cold sweat again, but there was also a sense of pleasure with his eyebrows raised. He was finally able to master a million soldiers and restore his clan name. No one dares to laugh at him behind his back as a "wild seed", "a bad seed", and a "waste".
