Chapter 701, high-five as an oath
Yin Quan was impassioned, and after stating his sincerity, Tang Jiusheng did not have a trace of a smile on his face, nor did he speak, but just stared at Yin Quan's eyes coldly, as if he was not moved in the slightest by the promise made by Yin Quan. Yin Quan, who had been desperately pursuing the highest power in the empire, was puzzled and said: "Tang Jiusheng, you don't want the glory and wealth sent to the door? If you don't want to divide the world equally, what do you want? Do you want to be the emperor yourself?"
Tang Jiusheng slowly stood up from the chair, Yin Quan suddenly felt a fear that suffocated him, Tang Jiusheng sneered: "Prince, I am now, the national teacher? If I want, my father will also pass on the position of the national teacher to me when he is old, but these have no attraction to me! The reason why I took over the title of this prince and was willing to go to Jiannan to quell the chaos was to help my father, I don't want to see him so tired, do you think that a small prince, half or the whole country can attract me? That is a fart in my eyes!"
Tang Jiusheng stepped forward and patted Yin Quan's face, "My Prince of Pingxi, the country that is above everything else in your eyes is just a fart in my eyes, maybe not even a fart! The old master Meng of the previous dynasty said that the people are the most important, the society is secondary, and the monarch is light, this is the emperor's favorite thing to hear, yes, many times the truth is the most unpleasant, but it is the truth! Yan Han is finished, there is Hou Sui, Hou Sui is finished, there are our big businessmen, there are so many emperors, no matter who he is, whoever can make the people live a good life, I will support whom!"
Yin Quan trembled angrily, but he didn't dare to say anything.
Tang Jiusheng glanced at Yin Quan, "Do you think I want to be the emperor myself? In fact, I don't even want to be this prince, and I don't want to be a national teacher! I just want to be able to practice martial arts well, and one day in the future I can reach the top of martial arts, that is my pleasure, my pursuit! Everyone has a different background, a different life, a different goal in life, and a different choice! The two of us are talking about the ideal of life here, it is like a chicken and a duck talking. β
Tang Jiusheng said again: "It's like you were born in the royal family and nobles, you are used to being pampered, you don't know the sufferings of the people, so you never take the lives of the common people seriously, nor do you take the lives of your subordinates seriously, but I care! If you Yin Quan becomes the emperor, what can you bring to the people of the world?"
Yin Quan suddenly laughed out loud, "Tang Jiusheng, you are so funny, you actually ask the widow what he can bring to the people of the world! The widow will lead the generals to expand the territory and establish immortal feats, conquer Great Xia in the north, and destroy the retreat in the south! The great merchant will expand the land for thousands of miles in the hands of the widow, and the life of the people will be ten times better than now!"
Tang Jiusheng said disapprerovingly: "You want to open up the territory, but the people just want to live a peaceful life! You are moody, kill people at every turn, and even throw people into the cage of the beast, the woman you like, you must grab it, even if you kill the whole family, you do things by unscrupulous means, only look at the result, do not pay attention to the process, you don't care about anyone's life or death at all, if a person like you becomes the emperor, it is a great misfortune for the people of the great merchants! In order to satisfy your own selfish desires, you can do all kinds of evil, it is really terrible!"
Yin Quan still had a few tea leaves on his head, got up angrily, stared at Tang Jiusheng's eyes, and said with a look of disdain: "You are so funny, you actually feel sorry for those useless untouchables! If they can seize the world with the widows and expand their territory with the widows, it will be their glory! As untouchables, they don't have any chance to make a name in history at all, but now the widows have given them this opportunity, isn't this good? Once the bones are dry, what is the death of a 180,000 untouchables, they are just ants!"
Tang Jiusheng smiled and asked: "Your life is your life, and other people's lives are not your life?" So what if it was you and your sons who died on the battlefield? What would you think? In order to protect yourself, you killed Niu Zhicheng who came thousands of miles to join you, yes, Niu Zhicheng's father Niu Mandi is indeed not a good thing, he deserves to die, this is true, but you completely ignore the oath you once made with Niu Mandi, Niu Mandi's bones are not cold, you can't wait to take Niu Zhicheng's head to Yong'an to ask for a reward, who do you think will dare to be an ally with you from now on? β
Yin Quan said loudly: "The cow is full of cows, you are you, he is a waste, how can you be the same as him? Tang Jiusheng, you don't have any worries because of this matter, different people, God gives him different opportunities!" Yin Guang pointed at Tang Jiusheng with his finger, and then pointed at himself, "The widow firmly believes that if you join forces with me, you will be able to successfully seize the world and drive Yin Guang's waste off the dragon chair!"
Tang Jiusheng shook his head and said: "Yin Quan, the Tao is not the same, in this matter, the opinions of the two of us are completely opposite!"
Yin Quan suddenly laughed again, "Tang Jiusheng, you are naΓ―ve! Have you thought about it, today you came to the Pingxi Palace, let's talk secretly, others naturally don't know the content of the conversation, but you came to see me secretly, but nothing happened to me, after you go back, what will Yin Guang, who got the news, think? Most people will think that you and I have reached a deal, then will you have a better life in the future? Will your Tang family's life be better? Believe me, on the other hand, Yin Guang is far inferior to a widow in terms of courage and scheming!"
Tang Jiusheng sighed, "Yin Quan, he may not be as good as you in anything, but he is kind-hearted, can he be a benevolent monarch, can you? He has been an emperor for more than four years, there is only one queen and one imperial concubine, if it were you, how many women would you marry? I heard that there are thousands of stunning beauties in your Xiangyuan, Lanwu Garden, Qiuyun Pavilion, and Qunfang Courtyard, what do you want so many women to do? Do you want to learn from the founding emperor of the former dynasty and Qin, collect all the beauties in the harem, and then provoke a popular rebellion and die in the second generation?"
Yin Quan sneered, "If the widow becomes the emperor, the whole world is a widow, why not accept some beautiful women in the harem? Just like those women in the Xiangyuan, Lanwuyuan, Qiuyun Pavilion, and Qunfang Courtyard, many of them even come to work as poor people in the countryside, and some of them can't even eat enough! But now they don't have to do anything every day, and the widow has arranged for many people to serve them, and their daily food and clothing are not a hundred times stronger than their original hunger and cold in the countryside?"
Yin Quan walked around on the ground, and said excitedly: "Tang Jiusheng, you will obediently obey the widow, the widow can give you everything you want! Otherwise, Yin Guang will know that you have come to the widow's palace, and after conspiring with the widow, he will quietly return to Jiannan, if he doesn't suspect you, it will be strange! The lord is suspicious, Tang Jiusheng, you have no way out!"
Tang Jiusheng said calmly: "Yin Quan, the agency is too clever to calculate and mistook Qingqing's life! If you force me like this, then don't complain about this king to change his mind!" Tang Jiusheng pulled out the Seven Feelings Sword and pointed at Yin Quan's throat, "Yin Quan, if you are bent on death, this king can consider fulfilling you!"
Yin Quan sweated on his head, raised his hands high, and said loudly: "Tang Jiusheng, Tang Jiusheng, don't mess around! The sword is a murder weapon, if you are careful of losing the wrong hand, the widow's life will not be guaranteed, if the widow dies, you will definitely not be able to get out of Yuzhou City and be surrounded and suppressed! The widow has many soldiers in Yuzhou City, and his subordinates are like clouds, you don't want to be stupid, you think clearly, the widow died today, and you don't want to get out of Yuzhou City alive!
Tang Jiusheng sneered: "You dare to threaten me? Okay, then this king will kill you today! This king wants to see what kind of moths you can toss out of your southwest road! You have soldiers, don't you have Jiannan Dao? If you raise troops now, will you definitely succeed and will definitely be able to fight Yong'an? I don't think it will be!" Tang Jiusheng is about to cut down.
Suddenly, the fat man sitting at the door outside said loudly: "Old Tang, I'm really out of temper, I can't stop her, you can do it yourself!"
Then, Ximen Yuxue, dressed in white, walked in from outside, and saw Tang Jiusheng pointing a sword at Yin Quan's throat, he screamed in fright, quickly stopped, his face changed color, and said loudly: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, you must not hurt your second brother-in-law! No matter what is wrong with him, you can see the face of the second sister and Shuang'er, spare him!"
Tang Jiusheng smiled bitterly, this confused princess of Pingxi is here, but there is no way, if it is someone else, the fat man can kill people, but what can the fat man do with Ximen Yuxue? If the fat man really kills Ximen Yuxue, won't Shuang'er go crazy when he goes back? Her second sister has always been affectionate to her, it was her second brother and sister who secretly released her in the first place, and let Nangong Xuehong secretly protect her all the way, this affection must be recited!
Seeing that Tang Jiusheng still refused to put down his weapon, Ximen Yuxue hurriedly walked over, his feet were unstable, he stumbled, and almost didn't fall, Ximen Yuxue came to Tang Jiusheng, grabbed Tang Jiusheng's wrists with both hands, and begged loudly: "Jiusheng, my good brother-in-law, for the sake of Shuang'er's face, I will definitely let your brother-in-law go! My sister knows that you hate him, but my sister can't help it! My sister can't persuade him! If you kill him, the pillar of this family will be gone, and Yue Heng will become a fatherless child, what can our family do?" β
Tang Jiusheng knew that Ximen Yuxue had a weak personality, and Yin Quan often bullied her from this point, but Tang Jiusheng had no choice, it was impossible to turn his face with the second sister-in-law, right? Tang Jiusheng hatefully withdrew the Seven Feelings Sword, returned the sword into the sheath, and said in a deep voice: "Yin Quan, today is the second sister who pleaded for you, and I will make an exception to leave you with a dog's life! You remember for me, if you dare to send the killers of the Blood Shadow Hall to Jiannan Dao to do mischief, I will definitely come to take your head personally! I don't care what great ambitions you have, I can't match a sword in my hand!"
Yin Quan's face was pale, and he didn't say a word. Tang Jiusheng humiliated him again in front of Ximen Yuxue, he will definitely avenge this revenge, he Yin Quan will never suffer a loss in his life, and he must find a place to return if he suffers! Yin Quan will not lose the battle, and said coldly: "Okay, the widow promised you that the widow would never send someone to Jiannan Road to assassinate the officials under your rule again, but the widow gave Tang Jiusheng face and repeatedly invited you to join the widow's team, but you didn't appreciate it, then don't blame the widow for being polite, let's see you on the battlefield in the future!"
Tang Jiusheng smiled charmingly, "Great! This is just like a prince! If you want to fight, you have to fight on the battlefield in a dignified and open manner, what kind of ability is it to make small moves behind your back! I hope you can remember what you said today, remember, don't engage in those useless small actions, otherwise when you die, the second sister will remarry, and you will finally give up the number one beauty in the world from the hands of the first emperor!"
Yin Quan said angrily: "Since the widow has promised you, he will naturally do it! The life of the officials under you is also the life of the widow's father and son!"
Tang Jiusheng smiled and said, "Okay, I hope you can remember what you said today! Let's high-five as an oath, the one who betrays the oath first, the sky will thunder, and you won't die well!" Yin Quan rushed angrily and Tang Jiusheng clapped his hands. Tang Jiusheng said with a smile: "Second sister, brother-in-law, then we can make up our minds, and my brother will leave!"
Yin Quan waved his hand angrily, "Get out, don't let the widow see you again!"
Suddenly there was a loud bang outside the door, and the fat man was beaten into the house and fell to the ground. Someone at the door said gloomily: "You want to leave, it's not that easy!"
