Chapter 254: Fellow Believers
What the prince said was an inconsequential scene. Give each other a step down, and both sides look good.
didn't expect Zhuge Chen to have this intention, as long as the prince did not apologize, then Sun Gongzi's head would fall to the ground in an instant. What can happen to the son of a powerful person, in the eyes of cultivators, especially sword cultivators, it doesn't matter. What's more, Bai Yi is still the kind of person who only trusts the sword at his waist, even if it really reaches the point of being out of control in the end, it is a big deal that he leaves Dashang and dies in the world. Anyway, if you don't have a bad anger in your heart, you can't do it.
Sun Gongzi didn't seem to realize the seriousness of the problem, and at this time he dared to speak: "I don't care who you are, the prince said so, and you still want to continue to kick your nose in the face? Looking at your arrogant appearance, I can guess that you should be a disciple of one of the two academies in the Imperial City, but if you really want to wrestle with me, aren't you afraid of death?"
Zhuge Chen sneered, and struck Sun Gongzi's chest with the hilt of his sword with his backhand. Although he saved his strength, but Rao was like this, and the mortal Sun Gongzi still fell to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The prince hurriedly said: "If you have something to say, you must not kill him." Even if you're Zhuge Chen, you don't want to get into big trouble, right?"
Zhuge Chen laughed and asked rhetorically: "Don't bother the prince, I don't care anyway, but the one who is really worried about getting into trouble should be the prince, right? After all, the current Emperor of Dashang is in the prime of life, and no one can say what will happen in the future." Winning the hearts of the people for a while is not winning the hearts of the people for a lifetime, as long as I kill Sun Gongzi, the prince will not be able to escape the involvement. was scolded at the lightest, and his perception in his father's heart declined. As for the heavy rules, it is very likely that he will lose his position as the prince. The prince is a smart man, so I don't need to say more about the trivial details!"
The people above the temple are unpredictable, and the prince who is in the whirlpool is naturally very clear. Indeed, as Zhuge Chen said, his biggest help now is the Sun family. Losing this ally, like breaking both arms, is very likely to lose value in the eyes of the head of the Sun family, who has experienced the pain of losing his son and is disheartened. Anyway, whoever is the crown prince is the same, maybe it will be a less ambitious and better controllable one. After all, the prince was born known as the appearance of the tiger and the wolf, and the anti-bone must exist in his heart.
But the head of the Sun family has no way, and the only thing that can be comparable to the crown prince is business. But not only does business not have the idea of competing for the throne, but it is also relatively more difficult to control, and the lesser of two evils is the less.
In fact, the crown prince is most different from the current Emperor of Dashang in that he is extremely suspicious, and it is conceivable that if he ascends the throne, when the power is really in his hands, the Sun family will definitely be liquidated. At that time, it is very likely that the whole door will be beheaded, and the head of the Sun family knows this, so he is extremely careful not to say it, and also arranges interlocking schemes. As long as he doesn't die, it is impossible for the Sun family to be wiped out. As for after his death, he can't even take away half a penny, so he can think about it so much? [##爱奇文学 *~Free Reading]
has been a very human minister for most of his life, and he has actually seen it.
But for the crown prince, he is just getting started, and there are infinite possibilities. You can't just lose the head of the Sun family
But there is a problem in front of us. It was for the sake of dignity to give up the Sun family as his ally, or to swallow his anger, forgetting that the man has gold under his knees.
Nowadays, for this kind of small situation that goes straight to the heart, Zhuge Chen likes to set it up for others very much. If the bystanders are clear, they will also be enlightened. He couldn't help but put himself in his shoes and think about what he would do if he stood in the position of the crown prince.
The temptation of the throne is not as simple as it seems, even if you read the sages thoroughly, you really dare to say that you can sit on that chair and have a clear conscience? Most of the time, as long as you change the environment, you will change the taste, which Zhuge Chen deeply understands.
He looked at the blood that Sun Gongzi spit out, and said expressionlessly: "Please think about it quickly, the prince doesn't have much patience." ”
"The prince doesn't have to grovel for me, although Sun is a gentleman, he also knows the truth of sticking a knife in his brother's ribs! I understand the prince's intentions, but you have this identity here after all. For my sake, do not be dishonored. If you really do that, even if I survive, what's the difference between me and a walking corpse?" Although Sun Gongzi spoke intermittently at this time, his eyes were undoubtedly extremely bright, and even Zhuge Chen was a little moved after hearing these words.
Whether human nature is good or bad does not need to be debated too much. Because it really doesn't make sense, even if you really say a fancy thing in the end, can you change the existing facts? The answer is no. The reason why people's hearts can be magnified in the danger of drawing water with a bamboo basket for cultivators is that it is the nature that is difficult to move.
But Zhuge Chen had the answer in his heart, if he was the prince, he would definitely save him. Compared with his intimate brothers, what is dignity? If he loses his realm again, he can exchange it for the young man who has been shouting at his side, Brother Chen, he is very happy. It's a pity that it's just an extravagant hope, and it's not destined to be so. A person cannot be resurrected after death, and he can only be worthy of his brother if he lives better. There is no other way.
For the crown prince, Zhuge Chen's idea is that it has nothing to do with good or bad. Even if he really became the emperor of Dashang, according to his temperament, he would let the people live and work in peace and contentment, but for his courtiers, he may be an iron-blooded hand who is proficient in the emperor's mental skills.
After the meeting of all races, this peaceful life is not destined to last long. When the troubled times start the battle for hegemony, a hero is indeed needed. Otherwise, it will be divided for hundreds of years, even if the people suffer. For these cultivators, what can they do with the life and death of the four countries? Even if the whole world refuses to buy them a few hundred years later, they will be able to continue to pursue the ethereal avenue.
Thinking of this, I don't know why Zhuge Chen was a little upset. He swung out a sword qi and slashed to Sun Gongzi's side, and then sighed and said, "If you miss it, can you miss it?"
With that, he put his sword into its sheath, and after a long time he turned around and prepared to walk back to the private room.
"I won't give it to you, if you don't think it's okay, you can come in and ask for it. Just be able to ask
Pass my two swords, and you will be as you please. Zhuge Chen said softly, stretching.
"Master Zhuge , can you give me a chance to thank you and come in and sit for a while?" the prince said, his words were sincere, and anyone could see that he was sincerely invited.
However, Zhuge Chen just waved his hand and said, "No need, if you really want to control me, you are not qualified enough, so you are really not afraid of being counterattacked?"
......
When Zhuge Chen walked back to the house, Sun Gongzi outside the door was helped up by everyone.
But it seemed that he had forgotten Fang Cai's lesson, and said scoldingly: "This Zhuge Chen is really, it doesn't matter if you annoy me, even the prince and you look down on it, so you are really not afraid of dying somewhere in the city?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the cyan sword qi slipped out of the private room. This time it slashed directly on his arm, causing Sun Gongzi to wail. Looking at the injury, I am afraid that there is no hope that it will heal in a year and a half.
"Be careful when you speak, or you're the one most likely to die. A voice came from the private room, and then the white clothes appeared in front of everyone. He looked at the prince and said, "I suddenly changed my mind, it's boring anyway, what's the point of gossiping with you?"
The prince laughed, leaned on one arm and said, "Please!"
The room booked by the prince and his group is undoubtedly better, after all, status is always more expensive than money. Otherwise, many people would not have sharpened their heads and wanted to squeeze into some positions above the temple, and the power was not important. As long as this can be clear, the achievement will not be too low. In many cases, the military department is not as good as the generals who are at war, and the reason is very simple, the former has no military power. What son of heaven can tolerate an army stationed at his feet?
If you are not careful, maybe the feng shui will take turns, and your throne will have to be sat on by someone else.
When the prince, who was the master, poured tea for himself, Zhuge Chen opened his mouth and said: "As the prince, it is a little wrong to invite someone to sit and drink a few cups of tea, right?"
The prince patted his head: "Zhuge Gongzi, look at my inability to do things, I will order my subordinates to bring me the wine I have treasured for many years, and I will not disappoint you." ”
A moment later, several wine jars were placed in front of Zhuge Chen. He lowered his head and sniffed it, and couldn't help but pour himself a glass.
"How about this wine, it still meets your requirements, Gongzi Zhuge ?" the prince couldn't help but ask, since the other party is willing to sit here, everything is easy to discuss. It's a big deal to do what he likes, and the prince has a lot of experience in this regard.
Zhuge Chen nodded and spit out two words: "Good wine!"
The prince said happily: "If you like it, I still have some stock there, so I'll give it to you." ”
Zhuge Chen opened his mouth and said: "A gentleman does not take the favor of others. ”
"Compared to getting to know Zhuge Gongzi, these are all small things. What's not good or bad, no matter how much I love wine, I can't compare to you. The prince said, raised his glass and drank it all, and said arrogantly: "I did it, you are free!"
The prince's words, Zhuge Chen likes to listen. Immediately drank the glass of wine, narrowed his eyes and said, "Then I will thank the prince in advance, but compared to these, I want to be with the prince."
I'm more interested in what I'm saying, but it's okay to say it. ”
The prince is well versed in the way of talking with arrogant cultivators like Zhuge Chen, and he is not hypocritical at the moment, so he said: "I want to establish a friend-like relationship with Zhuge Gongzi, even if you retreat, it is a good thing to be in business in business." ”
Zhuge Chen heard the meaning of the words, and said: "The prince's ambition must be not small. ”
The prince said impassionedly: "Since you are standing in this position, if you don't dare to be delusional, how can you stand on a higher place?!"
Zhuge Chen laughed softly: "I didn't expect that the prince and I can be regarded as half of the same people." ”
