Chapter 447: My cousin must be a good emperor!
"No, no!" He Xiong hurriedly responded, "Uncle, don't worry, Yong'an is fine, how can you offend people!" This guy who eats inside and outside explains very clearly, it is he who has received the benefits of others. ”
With that, he carefully explained the confession he had asked.
It turned out that the centurion had a gambler's son in his family, and he ran to the outpost to ask his father for money to pay off his debts. The centurion beat and scolded, but he didn't discipline his son.
A few days ago, he finally went home once, and happened to meet his son who was hung up and beaten, saying that he owed eighty taels of silver, and if he didn't pay it back, he would ask his son for two legs!
The border army is forbidden to gamble, and it is difficult for him to borrow money from a familiar brother. When he was worried, a man in black came to him and said that if he did a favor, he would give him a hundred taels of silver. Not only did he pay off his son's gambling debts, but he could also leave twenty taels to start a small business.
Of course he was happy, but the request made by the man in black was to take advantage of the Rakshasa attack on the border pass and make a big mess, and it was best to attract the attention of the pass, so that the nearby counties knew that the border pass was about to be breached.
He didn't know the other party's intentions, but he knew too well what would await him if he did. He refused immediately, but his son disappeared that night, and the family was in chaos.
He really had no choice, so he rushed back to the outpost overnight to find someone to borrow silver, but he was also unlucky, and he was actually caught by the Rakshasa who intended to sneak attack.
In order to save his life, he took the initiative to talk about an occasional mountain road that could quietly avoid the defense line of the border army and enter the pass.
The Rakshasas believed him, gathered five or six hundred people, and finally entered the customs without any problems.
Originally, he was going to be killed by the Rakshasa people, but he didn't expect the man in black who threatened him to appear again and save him.
The man in black not only released his son, but also gave him a hundred taels as promised, and told him to pay attention to the movements of the border army, and if there was important information, he would definitely not give him less silver.
The centurion was the survivor of the catastrophe, and he swore to take care of his son, and even quickly discharged from the army and left the border.
When he came to transport food today, his main purpose was to report it, and if there was no accident, he could take the old and young back to his hometown in a month.
When Chen Zhao came back from the grassland, he often went in and out of the barracks, and he was familiar with He Xiong and the Six Princes, and many soldiers did not know his identity, but they knew that he was a nobleman.
The centurion occasionally listened to a few words, and when he left the camp, he saw Chen Zhao bring an old man and a fat girl, and he came up with a bad idea when he went crazy, deliberately frightened the horse and scared the fat girl, and then approached the set, in case he asked for some useful news again, in exchange for a little silver, maybe their family would be able to return to their hometown in fine clothes, instead of such a lost dog......
Everyone was a little speechless after hearing this, and they really didn't know what to say about this centurion.
Call him stupid, he accurately saw that the identities of Old Man Tai and Zhuzhu were not ordinary. Let's say he is smart, he frightened Zhuzhu again, delayed the trip, was stopped by He Xiong, and cut off his own life!
Chen Zhao frowned and said angrily, "This person is so stupid, for his own selfishness, he actually put the Rakshasa devil in the pass!" Last night, the uncle also said that many people were killed and injured near Tai'an, which is really hateful! ”
The sixth prince also nodded and asked He Xiong, "But what is the origin of that man in black, and why do you want to disturb the Guannai?" ”
"I didn't ask," He Xiong was also annoyed, and responded, "The man in black appeared twice and was masked, and it was at night, I'm afraid I can't find it easily." ”
Old Man Tai had been silent, but then he sighed and said, "I can guess the identity of this person." ”
"How does Uncle know?" Everyone was curious, and even the general looked over.
The old man arched his hand with the general and the six princes, and started another conversation.
"General, the old man has something to ask you. Now that there is a rakshasa attacking outside the border pass, and there is also going to be a disturbance in Kyoto, in the face of power and the safety of your family and country, what will you choose? ”
The general paused for a moment, and Zhengse responded, "Naturally, the safety of the country is in danger, if our Zhao family is intoxicated with power, how can we guard the border for generations, endure all the hardships, and suffer all the humiliation?" It's nothing more than that he can't let go of the people of Dawei, and he doesn't want the country to be slaughtered by foreigners!
"If the border is peaceful and the people live and work in peace and contentment, I can not even be a general, and I can do without military power!"
Old Man Tai didn't speak, and asked the sixth prince again for a long time.
"Your Highness Six, you ...... Do you want to be the emperor and want that chair in the palace? ”
The sixth prince subconsciously straightened his back, his expression was three points more guarded, and before he could speak, Zhuzhu had already climbed up his legs, and stuffed the snack into his mouth with a smile.
"Cousin, cousin! This snack is delicious, my cousin and Zhu Zhu eat it together! ”
The six princes couldn't, so they ate the dim sum with the fat girl's hand. I don't know if it's the sweet snacks, or the fat girl's little hands are warm and soft, the ice defense line in his heart is slowly melting.
He took a sip of tea, looked at the old man and said slowly, "Grandpa Tai, I want to be the emperor of Great Wei!" I want to be an eternal emperor who has a heart for heaven and earth, makes a living for his subjects, and makes peace for everything! If my father and several royal brothers were all eloquent and rare masters in a hundred years, I would be willing to stay in the Northland, marry a wife and have children, and live a peaceful life.
"But...... They are not!
"Instead of letting them harm the great rivers and mountains and chill the hearts of the people of Dawei, why can't I take over the Jiangshan Sheji! I believe that I will be a good emperor! ”
Zhuzhu had just finished eating a piece of dim sum, and there was a lot of dim sum dregs on her hands, and she tried her best to slap her little fat hand, as if she was applauding warmly.
The old man subconsciously looked over, and the fat girl thought that her grandfather blamed her for throwing the dim sum scum on her cousin, so she quickly nodded vigorously with her little white teeth, and slapped a rainbow fart along with her cousin's words.
"Well, well, my cousin is a good emperor!"
The old man's breathing paused for a moment, and then he laughed.
"Okay, since Zhuzhu said it, your cousin must be a good emperor!"
Everyone listened strangely, but the old man didn't allow them to think about it, and said, "General, Sixth Highness, don't blame the old man for not knowing etiquette, it's really the old man who came here this time, and he has something important to talk about."
"At the beginning, before the old general passed away, he quietly called me to his side and gave me a treasure map. He instructed me to hide it well, and in the future, maybe this treasure map will be a weapon to change the general trend of the world and protect the peace of the people of Great Wei.
"For so many years, I've been terrified, and I don't know when the right time is to take it out. But now there are strong enemies on the outside and hidden dangers on the inside, I think ......"
He got up and walked slowly to the center of the ground, fell to his knees, and gently lifted the dry tobacco stick that had been around him all the year round.
"I think the time has come, it's time for me to fulfill my promise to the old general!"
The old general's last words?
A treasure that can change the general trend of the world?!
Everyone's eyes widened in shock, and they didn't react for a while.
The general trembled his lips, worked hard and hard, and then came out with a sentence, "I always thought that my father had something to hide from me, but I didn't expect that he would entrust Uncle Tai to hide ......"
