Chapter 224: The Duke of the Meeting
On the 18th day of the seventh month of Yucheng, at this moment, Mu Sheng was cultivating in the quiet room, and when he received a letter from the secret agent, he laughed secretly and said: "I've been waiting for almost a month, and you finally came......
After taking out his cloak and putting it on, he went to the private room of an inn in the city, where the Duke of Taisha, Portucchigakun, had apparently been waiting for a long time.
Seeing Mu Sheng wearing a robe to cover his face, pushing the door in, Portucci Kakun got up and saluted: "I've seen my predecessors." ”
Mu Sheng sat down and asked, "How is it?" Has the Duke figured it out? ”
Portucci Kakun sighed and said, "I have thought clearly, as long as I can stay with Her Royal Highness the princess for the rest of my life, I can agree to any conditions." ”
Mu Sheng immediately exclaimed: "Good! Good! The old man heard that Her Royal Highness Princess Lina is also infatuated with the Duke, and the meaning of beauty cannot be disappointed. ”
Portucci Kakun said: "Can the senior introduce me to meet the emperor?" ”
Mu Sheng said: "Hmm! Now that the Duke has made up his mind, I will arrange for you to meet with the Emperor. ”
With that, Mu Sheng pushed the door and left......
In the early morning of the next day, in the Yucheng Castle, Portucci Kakun was dressed in a burqa, and he couldn't see his true face clearly, so he followed the palace guards all the way to Zheng, the quiet room where the emperor practiced
Along the way, Portucci Kakun looked at the situation inside the castle curiously, he was also the first time to come to this mountain puppet lair, he was very curious, and when he entered the quiet room, he saw the emperor himself meditating and cultivating in the middle, and Portucci Kakun did not dare to breathe.
It wasn't until the Emperor slowly opened his eyes and motioned for him to sit down and talk that he dared to sit opposite the Emperor, after all, this was the first time that he had come into contact with the fierce and powerful Immortal Emperor so closely, and Portucci Kakun was still somewhat restrained......
Mu Sheng saw that he was no longer decadent as before, but only a little nervous.
Mu Sheng said: "The duke is a guest from afar, don't be restrained, your business, the old man already knows, if there is any problem, just talk to the old man directly." ”
When Portucchi Kakun heard this, his expression moved, and he said respectfully: "Then I'll get straight to the point, what do you want from me, Emperor?" ”
Mu Sheng said in a good time: "Your loyalty! As long as you can be loyal to me, the old man will be the master to fulfill you and Princess Lina, what do you think? ”
Portucci Kakun didn't frown, and promised: "Okay, as long as you can fulfill me and Her Royal Highness the Princess, my life is yours." ”
When Mu Sheng heard this, he nodded with satisfaction: "Okay!" Very good! Now that Her Royal Highness the princess has married the old man, in order not to affect the relationship between the two countries, the private relationship between you cannot be made public, from now on you can come here to have a private meeting with Her Royal Highness the princess, and when the time is ripe, the old man will announce that Her Royal Highness the princess has died of illness, and the two of you will fly together from now on, and the old man will never stop you. ”
When Potuchi Kakun heard this, his excitement overflowed, and he thanked again and again: "Thank you to the Emperor for fulfilling us." ”
Mu Sheng looked at his slightly excited expression and said, "Don't you want to know who secretly broke up your good relationship with the princess?" ”
When Portucci Kakun heard this, his face instantly became extremely gloomy, and he said: "Who else can I guess with my ass that it is the now high-ranking Prime Minister Taisha, Gakun Patura, this old horseman just resents me for once joining forces with the former Prime Minister Pamigata Takuba to squeeze him out of the royal capital, and now Rang Zhi will not let me go easily, as soon as you retreat, I will be expelled from the royal capital by him." ”
Mu Sheng's heart moved, good opportunity, this Kakun Patura is really good enough, not only dismantling Portucci Kakun's marriage, but also ruining his political future, if Portucci Kakun is not one of the seven dukes of Taisha, and there are still 50,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, if it is an ordinary Taisha nobleman, I am afraid that he will not even be able to save his life.
Mu Sheng asked, "Do you want to take revenge?" ”
Portucci Kakun said hatefully: "How don't you want to? I dreamed of pulling this old thief off the horse, but I am now weak, this old thief sits in the rich northern state of Buke, with 60,000 elites under his command, and the decisive battle with the Jin army, his strength has not been damaged much, and now he has the trust and support of Emperor Taisha, I can't help him at all. ”
Mu Sheng laughed secretly and said, "Okay! Very good! The old man reminds you that the former prime minister Pamigata Kuba has now summoned the Taisha princes to raise troops to resist the southward movement of the former tribes, and the current prime minister Gakun Patura has also summoned the coalition forces of the princes of various towns to intercept the southern invasion of the former tribes. ”
Portucci Kakun said helplessly: "The former prime minister Pamigata Kuba is not willing to quit politics, he wants to take the opportunity to re-emerge from the southward resistance of the former tribe, but the current prime minister Gakun Patura will never give him a chance, and now the two prime ministers seem to have gathered their own people to go to the national disaster, in fact, both sides and the former tribe have not fought much, and their skirts are pulling each other's hind legs, and the infighting continues, which leads to defeat and defeat on the frontal battlefield." ”
Mu Sheng said with emotion: "At present, it seems that only you, Emperor Taisha, actively eradicate the malpractice system and strengthen centralized power are the only correct way to save the country." ”
When Potuchi Kakun heard this, he also agreed: "Your right, the Emperor, our Taisha is going on like this, and the country can only get weaker and weaker, and now even a second-rate country like the former clan can ride on our necks as a prestige, hey! ”
Mu Sheng asked, "I have something I would like to ask the Duke." ”
When Portuchi Kakun heard this, he waved his hand again and again: "The Emperor, you are polite, but it is okay. ”
Mu Sheng asked: "If you were to give up the Goli Bang fief handed down from your ancestors, dedicate the land and population to the country, and let the country embark on the road of prosperity and strength, would you be willing?" ”
This question hit the nail on the head, and directly stopped Portucci Kakun, and only after a while did he stammer: "This ...... This...... If this is for the sake of the country's righteousness, but... Possible... I do. ”
Mu Sheng laughed and said, "Lord Duke, are you insincere?" ”
Portucci Kakun sneered and said: "After all, this is a century-old foundation left by my ancestors, and I don't want to make decisions and just give up, which makes me how to face my ancestors and ancestors in the future." ”
Mu Sheng said with emotion: "It seems that Emperor Taisha wants to truly achieve national unification and national rise, and it is by no means an overnight achievement......
Portucci Kakun was silent when he heard this...... He knew what the Immortal Emperor meant, and it was they, the stubborn local powerhouses in Taisha, who were the biggest obstacle to the country's path to prosperity and strength.
As the old saying goes, don't spare your life, it's hard to reform your own life, shouting slogans one by one, hating everyone is a moral pacesetter, it's really your turn to sacrifice your own interests in exchange for the progress and well-being of the entire country and society, then you will definitely turn your face and play with your life......
In the quiet room, the dignified Duke had nothing to say.
Mu Sheng thoughtfully proposed: "After a while, the old man will go to the Central Plains to see the prince in person, when I am not at home, you can go to see the princess in secret, presumably the two of you have not seen each other for a long time, this lovesickness is also quite difficult, the old man is a person who has come over, I understand how you feel when you are young." ”
Portucci Kakun said respectfully: "Thank you Emperor for your success, I will retire first." ”
Seeing that the Duke turned to leave, Mu Sheng reminded again: "Lord Duke, the old man still has one more thing to tell you, try not to let Princess Lina know about the transaction between us, although she is a woman, she has a lot of family and country feelings, if she knows that you are treason for her, she will not be committed to you." ”
Portucci Kakun frowned, and sighed: "I understand this, I am willing to do anything for her......"
Mu Sheng said: "By the way, there is one more thing I would like to remind you, since the third princess Kaya Melina married the old husband, I have not had sex with her, Her Royal Highness the princess is still a perfect body, the old man feels that the love between the two of you is sincere, alas!" The true love in this world is the most rare, I also want to fulfill the two of you, I have been waiting for you to change your mind in Yucheng these days, and finally did not disappoint me, you don't want to live up to my kindness! ”
Hearing this, Portucci Kakun's body shook, and his expression was obviously full of surprise, and he immediately turned around and bowed down: "Thank you for the completion of the Emperor, your old man's kindness, it is difficult to repay it in case of accidents." ”
Mu Sheng stepped forward to help him up and comforted him: "Lord Duke's words are serious, as long as you advance and retreat with the old man in the future, and do things solidly, the old man will definitely fulfill the good things of you and Her Royal Highness the princess, you go, the princess often feels sorry for herself these days, I am afraid that she has a heart disease, and the bell must be tied to the bell, you are the antidote to Princess Lisa!" ”
Portucci Kakun was grateful, took his leave, and walked out of the quiet room, looking at his distant back, Mu Sheng thought thoughtfully......
